description: We use very deep near-infrared imaging data taken with Multi-Object InfraRed Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS) on the Subaru Telescope to investigate the number counts of Distant Red Galaxies (DRGs). We have observed a 4x7 arcmin^2 field in the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey North (GOODS-N), and our data reach J=24.6 and K=23.2 (5sigma, Vega magnitude). The surface density of DRGs selected by J-K>2.3 is 2.35+-0.31 arcmin^-2 at K<22 and 3.54+-0.38 arcmin^-2 at K<23, respectively. These values are consistent with those in the GOODS-South and FIRES. Our deep and wide data suggest that the number counts of DRGs turn over at K~22, and the surface density of the faint DRGs with K>22 is smaller than that expected from the number counts at the brighter magnitude. The result indicates that while there are many bright galaxies at 222 suggest that the mass-dependent color distribution, where most of low-mass galaxies are blue while more massive galaxies tend to have redder colors, had already been established at that epoch.

description: Jets from X-ray binaries are continuously injecting matter and energy into the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). However, there exist to date relatively few cases where jet-ISM interactions have been directly observed. We review the current examples, and go on to present new data on the proposed hotspots of GRS1915+105, finding no concrete evidence for any association between the hotspots and the central source, in agreement with previous findings in the literature. We also present preliminary results on radio and H-alpha searches for jet-ISM interactions around known X-ray binaries, and discuss strategies for future searches.

Experiences of supporting transplant recipients
Creators: name: Sheffield, Jessica
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2019

description: Close family members of organ transplant recipients are frequently implicated in supporting their loved one through their transplant journey and have a crucial role to play in the patient’s recovery and adjustment posttransplant. Given this, there is a need to fully understand their personal experiences to ensure their needs are fully realized and met within clinical services. This doctoral thesis explores how significant family members experience the process of solid organ transplantation within a paediatric and adult context. It includes a systematic literature review of qualitative research regarding parents’ experiences of organ transplant; a research paper exploring spouses’ experiences of heart transplant; a critical appraisal; and an ethics section. The literature review synthesized qualitative research regarding parents’ experiences of organ transplant. A meta-ethnography of seventeen studies resulted in three interpretative conceptual themes: ‘parenting in the context of uncertainty’, ‘assimilating to new roles and responsibilities’ and (3) ‘an opportunity for renewal and growth’. These findings are discussed in relation to the previous literature as well as discussing clinical implications and future research. The research paper explored spouses’ experiences of heart transplant using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The experiences of seven wives and two husbands of heart transplant recipients were analyzed, resulting in three overarching themes explicating their experiences: ‘driven by a sense of responsibility’, ‘striving for togetherness’, and ‘wrestling with the prospect of them dying’. Similarly, each are discussed in relation to the previous literature, clinical implications and future research. The critical appraisal presents a continued discussion on the research paper including the strengths and challenges experienced in this research. Reflections on aspects of the research process are considered. Potential areas of future research are discussed further.

description: The FAIR Digital Object Lab is an extendable and adjustable software stack for generic FAIR Digital Object (FAIR DO) tasks. It consists of a set of interacting components with services and tools for creation, validation, discovery, curation, and more. The creation and maintenance of FAIR DOs is not trivial, as their PIDs contain typed record information. They are meant to be machine-actionable, not human-readable. Easing the creation and maintenance of FAIR DOs, as well as making FAIR DOs searchable and human-accessible, are functions of the FAIR DO Lab. While it started as the “FAIR DO Testbed”, development now focuses on production-readiness and user interfaces.

description: This brief thesis examines eastern vedic astrology by comparing its claims with modern scientific evidence. The study reviews the historical background of the tradition and uses basic mathematical calculations to evaluate if the forces attributed to planets can influence human life. The analysis demonstrates that the gravitational, magnetic, and light effects from these celestial bodies are extremely weak. The work concludes that vedic astrology holds cultural importance but its predictions do not meet scientific standards.

description: Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) and anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) in a variety of ferromagnetic metals including pure metals, oxides, and chalcogenides, are studied to obtain unified understandings of their origins. We show a universal scaling behavior of anomalous Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}$ as a function of longitudinal conductivity $σ_{xx}$ over five orders of magnitude, which is well explained by a recent theory of the AHE taking into account both the intrinsic and extrinsic contributions. ANE is closely related with AHE and provides us with further information about the low-temperature electronic state of itinerant ferromagnets. Temperature dependence of transverse Peltier coefficient $α_{xy}$ shows an almost similar behavior among various ferromagnets, and this behavior is in good agreement quantitatively with that expected from the Mott rule.

description: Green Security Games (GSGs) have been successfully used in the protection of valuable resources such as fisheries, forests and wildlife. While real-world deployment involves both resource allocation and subsequent coordinated patrolling with communication and real-time, uncertain information, previous game models do not fully address both of these stages simultaneously. Furthermore, adopting existing solution strategies is difficult since they do not scale well for larger, more complex variants of the game models. We therefore first propose a novel GSG model that combines defender allocation, patrolling, real-time drone notification to human patrollers, and drones sending warning signals to attackers. The model further incorporates uncertainty for real-time decision-making within a team of drones and human patrollers. Second, we present CombSGPO, a novel and scalable algorithm based on reinforcement learning, to compute a defender strategy for this game model. CombSGPO performs policy search over a multi-dimensional, discrete action space to compute an allocation strategy that is best suited to a best-response patrolling strategy for the defender, learnt by training a multi-agent Deep Q-Network. We show via experiments that CombSGPO converges to better strategies and is more scalable than comparable approaches. Third, we provide a detailed analysis of the coordination and signaling behavior learnt by CombSGPO, showing group formation between defender resources and patrolling formations based on signaling and notifications between resources. Importantly, we find that strategic signaling emerges in the final learnt strategy. Finally, we perform experiments to evaluate these strategies under different levels of uncertainty.

description: Low-frequency radio observations of galaxy clusters are the key to detecting the diffuse extended emission associated with them. The presence and properties of such radio sources in galaxy clusters reveal the existence of magnetic fields on a large scale and allow theories to be tested concerning both the origin of relativistic particles in the ICM and their propagation. A deep radio bservation of the A2255 galaxy cluster was carried out at 85 cm with the WSRT. The good UV-coverage and sensitivity achieved by these observations allowed us to image the complex structure of the low-brightness, extended cluster sources (radio halo and relic). These sources show a larger extent than what has been imaged so far at this frequency, with two new structures located SW and NW of the cluster center and at projected distances of 2 Mpc from it. The physical properties of the newly detected structures, together with the active dynamical state of the cluster, support a connection with large-scale structure (LSS) formation shocks.

description: Switchbacks are discrete angular deflections in the solar wind magnetic field that have been observed throughout the heliosphere. Recent observations by Parker Solar Probe (PSP) have revealed the presence of patches of switchbacks on the scale of hours to days, separated by 'quieter' radial fields. We aim to further diagnose the origin of these patches using measurements of proton temperature anisotropy that can illuminate possible links to formation processes in the solar corona. We fitted 3D bi-Maxwellian functions to the core of proton velocity distributions measured by the SPAN-Ai instrument onboard PSP to obtain the proton parallel, $T_{p,\|}$, and perpendicular, $T_{p,\perp}$, temperature. We show that the presence of patches is highlighted by a transverse deflection in the flow and magnetic field away from the radial direction. These deflections are correlated with enhancements in $T_{p,\|}$, while $T_{p,\perp}$ remains relatively constant. Patches sometimes exhibit small proton and electron density enhancements. We interpret that patches are not simply a group of switchbacks, but rather switchbacks are embedded within a larger-scale structure identified by enhanced $T_{p,\|}$ that is distinct from the surrounding solar wind. We suggest that these observations are consistent with formation by reconnection-associated mechanisms in the corona.

description: Quantum optimal control represents a powerful technique to enhance the performance of quantum experiments by engineering the controllable parameters of the Hamiltonian. However, the computational overhead for the necessary optimization of these control parameters drastically increases as their number grows. We devise a novel variant of a gradient-free optimal-control method by introducing the idea of phase-modulated driving fields, which allows us to find optimal control fields efficiently. We numerically evaluate its performance and demonstrate the advantages over standard Fourier-basis methods in controlling an ensemble of two-level systems showing an inhomogeneous broadening. The control fields optimized with the phase-modulated method provide an increased robustness against such ensemble inhomogeneities as well as control-field fluctuations and environmental noise, with one order of magnitude less of average search time. Robustness enhancement of single quantum gates is also achieved by the phase-modulated method. Under environmental noise, an XY-8 sequence constituted by optimized gates prolongs the coherence time by $50\%$ compared with standard rectangular pulses in our numerical simulations, showing the application potential of our phase-modulated method in improving the precision of signal detection in the field of quantum sensing.

description: We report synthesis and magnetization of Sr2RuREO6 (RE/Ru-211O6) with RE = Gd and Eu. Both Gd,Eu/Ru-211O6 are formed in distorted perovskite-type single phase with monoclinic P21/n space group. Magnetization (M/T) measurements exhibited antiferromagnetic ordering of Ru moments for both Gd and Eu compounds at TN of around 30 K due to super-exchange Ru-O-O-Ru interaction. Interestingly enough, detailed M/H plots of Gd/Ru-211O6 exhibited, the development of a ferromagnetic (FM) component at 20 K. Further at below 10 K, the FM component disappears and rather an spin freezing field (HSF) of around 1000 Oe is seen at 5 K. In case of Eu/Ru-211O6, the basic antiferromagnetic ordering of Ru moments remains invariant down to 5 K, and the appearance of FM component is not seen. It seems that the high magnetic moment of 8mB for Gd3+ influences the AFM ordering of Ru in case of Gd/Ru-211O6.

description: A free material surface which supports surface diffusion becomes unstable when put under external non-hydrostatic stress. Since the chemical potential on a stressed surface is larger inside an indentation, small shape fluctuations develop because material preferentially diffuses out of indentations. When the bulk of the material is purely elastic one expects this instability to run into a finite-time cusp singularity. It is shown here that this singularity is cured by plastic effects in the material, turning the singular solution to a regular crack.

description: We consider the cylindrical bending problem for an infinite plate as modelled with a family of generalized continuum models, including the micromorphic approach. The models allow to describe length scale effects in the sense that thinner specimens are comparatively stiffer. We provide the analytical solution for each case and exhibit the predicted bending stiffness. The relaxed micromorphic continuum shows bounded bending stiffness for arbitrary thin specimens, while classical micromorphic continuum or gradient elasticity as well as Cosserat models [35] exhibit unphysical unbounded bending stiffness for arbitrary thin specimens. This finding highlights the advantage of using the relaxed micromorphic model, which has a definite limit stiffness for small samples and which aids in identifying the relevant material parameters.

title: Nostalgia as a Means of Oppression, Resistance and Submission: A Study of Dystopian and Homecoming Novels
Creators: name: Nakamura, A
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: Somewhat paradoxically, nostalgia, a yearning for home or one’s past, is characteristic of dystopian fiction, which is a narrative of social criticism commonly with a futuristic setting. This thesis examines the political rhetoric of nostalgia in four dystopian novels: Swastika Night (1937) by Katherine Burdekin, Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) by George Orwell, The Handmaid’s Tale (1985) by Margaret Atwood and Never Let Me Go (2005) by Kazuo Ishiguro. This is complemented by the analysis of nostalgia in other relevant homecoming novels, such as Orwell’s Coming Up for Air (1939), Atwood’s Surfacing (1972) and Ishiguro’s The Remains of the Day (1989); this cross-genre approach highlights how social realism and nostalgia are closely intertwined, enabling a deeper and unique reading of the latter three dystopian novels. Burdekin’s dystopia, on the other hand, is particularly important since it delves into the tension and danger inherent in the act of mythmaking, which is often conflated with nostalgia. This thesis aims to demonstrate how reading dystopian novels through the lens of nostalgia can reveal the complexity of the relation between nostalgia and social criticism. Consequently, the study elaborates on various implications of existential homelessness in the modern world, particularly from a psycho-political perspective. Previous studies of traditional dystopian texts tend to criticise nostalgia merely as sentimental and reactionary, since the home they describe is fixated on one particular version of the past, presented as an authentic memory. For instance, in Orwell’s _Nineteen Eighty-Four_, Winston’s idealisation of his childhood undermines his resistance against the authorities, for it is exclusive in terms of race, class and gender. Yet the concept of nostalgia is not limited to this fetishistic type, which in fact verges on what Jeff Malpas calls “mythophilia”. Many critics, by contrast, agree that Atwood’s _The Handmaid’s Tale_ avoids such conflation between nostalgia and mythophilia by presenting a more self-reflective attitude towards memory. However, such a binary opposition between reactionary and self-reflective nostalgias is reductive, since it disregards the observation (pace Heidegger) that nostalgia is first and foremost a mood rather than an attitude. Overall, the analysis of each dystopian novel reveals multiple dimensions of nostalgia, that is, nostalgia as a means of oppression, resistance and submission; the nature of nostalgia is neither immediately enslaving nor liberating. It is also proposed that there is a subversive potential in the act of mythmaking itself, particularly when the past is utilised as a hypothetical model for imagining a new future, rather than the object of reconstruction.
A Model for Non-Linear Quantum Evolution based on Time Displaced Entanglement

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We discuss a model for non-linear quantum evolution based on the idea of time displaced entanglement, produced by taking one member of an entangled pair on a round trip at relativistic speeds, thus inducing a time-shift between the pair. We show that decoherence of the entangled pair is predicted. For non-maximal entanglement this then implies the ability to induce a non-unitary, non-linear quantum evolution. Although exhibiting unusual characteristics, we show that these evolutions cannot be dismissed on the basis of entropic or causal arguments.

description: Microcanonical equations for several thermodynamic properties of a system, suitable for molecular dynamics simulations, are derived from the nonextensive Tsallis entropy functional. Two possible definitions of temperature, the usual one and a ``physical'' modification which satisfies the zeroth law of thermodynamics, are considered, and the results from both choices are compared. Results for the ideal gas using the first definition of temperature are provided and discussed in relation with the canonical results reported in the literature. The second choice leaves most formulae unchanged from their extensive (Shannon-Boltzmann-Gibbs) form.

description: Computationally expensive Radiative Transfer Models (RTMs) are widely used} to realistically reproduce the light interaction with the Earth surface and atmosphere. Because these models take long processing time, the common practice is to first generate a sparse look-up table (LUT) and then make use of interpolation methods to sample the multi-dimensional LUT input variable space. However, the question arise whether common interpolation methods perform most accurate. As an alternative to interpolation, this work proposes to use emulation, i.e., approximating the RTM output by means of statistical learning. Two experiments were conducted to assess the accuracy in delivering spectral outputs using interpolation and emulation: (1) at canopy level, using PROSAIL; and (2) at top-of-atmosphere level, using MODTRAN. Various interpolation (nearest-neighbour, inverse distance weighting, piece-wice linear) and emulation (Gaussian process regression (GPR), kernel ridge regression, neural networks) methods were evaluated against a dense reference LUT. In all experiments, the emulation methods clearly produced more accurate output spectra than classical interpolation methods. GPR emulation performed up to ten times more accurately than the best performing interpolation method, and this with a speed that is competitive with the faster interpolation methods. It is concluded that emulation can function as a fast and more accurate alternative to commonly used interpolation methods for reconstructing RTM spectral data.

description: When autonomous agents interact in the same environment, they must often cooperate to achieve their goals. One way for agents to cooperate effectively is to form a team, make a binding agreement on a joint plan, and execute it. However, when agents are self-interested, the gains from team formation must be allocated appropriately to incentivize agreement. Various approaches for multi-agent negotiation have been proposed, but typically only work for particular negotiation protocols. More general methods usually require human input or domain-specific data, and so do not scale. To address this, we propose a framework for training agents to negotiate and form teams using deep reinforcement learning. Importantly, our method makes no assumptions about the specific negotiation protocol, and is instead completely experience driven. We evaluate our approach on both non-spatial and spatially extended team-formation negotiation environments, demonstrating that our agents beat hand-crafted bots and reach negotiation outcomes consistent with fair solutions predicted by cooperative game theory. Additionally, we investigate how the physical location of agents influences negotiation outcomes.

description: We present spectroscopic observations for quasars Q0107-025A, Q0107-025B, and Q0107-0232. For the first time, all data obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope's GHRS and FOS for these three quasars are combined. Ly-alpha absorbers selected from the spectra can be used to trace the coherence of the intergalactic medium (IGM) on scales of 1-2 h_{70}^{-1} Mpc over the redshift range 0.4 < z_a < 0.9. A new analysis of double and triple absorber coincidences derived from the improved spectra is performed. Automated line-selection algorithms were used to detect absorption lines in the QSO spectra; coincident absorbers were identified across two and three sight lines based on their proximity to each other in velocity space. A control simulation designed to generate artificial absorption-line spectra was used to gauge the significance of the coincidences. Four intervening metal line absorption systems are detected, with three of the four coincident to the A and B sight lines and one coincident across all three sight lines. This is evidence for substantial clustering among the objects responsible for the metal-enriched gas. By contrast, large scale coherence of the IGM gas is detectable but weak. Fewer than half of the absorbers are coincident on scales of 1-2 h_{70}^{-1} Mpc, a result that is significant at the 99% confidence level, and coherence arises preferentially in the higher column density gas. Triple absorber coincidences occur at a level that is significant at the 99% confidence level, which indicates that the higher column density gas has a planar geometry.

description: We introduce four algorithms for packet transport in complex networks. These algorithms use deterministic rules which depend, in different ways, on the degree of the node, the number of packets posted down each edge, the mean delivery time of packets sent down each edge to each destination and the time since an edge last transmitted a packet. On scale-free networks all our algorithms are considerably more efficient and can handle a larger load than the random walk algorithm. We consider in detail various attributes of our algorithms, for instance we show that an algorithm that bases its decisions on the mean delivery time jams unless it incorporates information about the degree of the destination node.

description: A machine capable of digitizing two 8 inch by 10 inch (203 mm by 254 mm) glass astrophotographic plates or a single 14 inch by 17 inch (356 mm by 432 mm) plate at a resolution of 11 microns per pixel or 2309 dots per inch (dpi) in 92 seconds is described. The purpose of the machine is to digitize the \~500,000 plate collection of the Harvard College Observatory in a five year time frame. The digitization must meet the requirements for scientific work in astrometry, photometry, and archival preservation of the plates. This paper describes the requirements for and the design of the subsystems of the machine that was developed specifically for this task.

description: We show that the leading semiclassical behavior of soliton form factors at arbitrary momentum transfer is controlled by solutions to a new wave-like integro-differential equation that describes solitons undergoing acceleration. We work in the context of two-dimensional linear sigma models with kink solitons for concreteness, but our methods are purely semiclassical and generalizable.

description: The steady reports of privacy invasions online paints a picture of the Internet growing into a more dangerous place. This is supported by reports of the potential scale for online harms facilitated by the mass deployment of online technology and the data-intensive web. While Internet users often express concern about privacy, some report taking actions to protect their privacy online. We investigate the methods and technologies that individuals employ to protect their privacy online. We conduct two studies, of N=180 and N=907, to elicit individuals' use of privacy methods online, within the US, the UK and Germany. We find that non-technology methods are among the most used methods in the three countries. We identify distinct groupings of privacy methods usage in a cluster map. The map shows that together with non-technology methods of privacy protection, simple PETs that are integrated in services, form the most used cluster, whereas more advanced PETs form a different, least used cluster. We further investigate user perception and reasoning for mostly using one set of PETs in a third study with N=183 participants. We do not find a difference in perceived competency in protecting privacy online between advanced and simpler PETs users. We compare use perceptions between advanced and simpler PETs and report on user reasoning for not using advanced PETs, as well as support needed for potential use. This paper contributes to privacy research by eliciting use and perception of use across $43$ privacy methods, including $26$ PETs across three countries and provides a map of PETs usage. The cluster map provides a systematic and reliable point of reference for future user-centric investigations across PETs. Overall, this research provides a broad understanding of use and perceptions across a collection of PETs, and can lead to future research for scaling use of PETs.

Deep Multi-Frame MVDR Filtering for Single-Microphone Speech Enhancement

description: Multi-frame algorithms for single-microphone speech enhancement, e.g., the multi-frame minimum variance distortionless response (MFMVDR) filter, are able to exploit speech correlation across adjacent time frames in the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) domain. Provided that accurate estimates of the required speech interframe correlation vector and the noise correlation matrix are available, it has been shown that the MFMVDR filter yields a substantial noise reduction while hardly introducing any speech distortion. Aiming at merging the speech enhancement potential of the MFMVDR filter and the estimation capability of temporal convolutional networks (TCNs), in this paper we propose to embed the MFMVDR filter within a deep learning framework. The TCNs are trained to map the noisy speech STFT coefficients to the required quantities by minimizing the scale-invariant signal-to-distortion ratio loss function at the MFMVDR filter output. Experimental results show that the proposed deep MFMVDR filter achieves a competitive speech enhancement performance on the Deep Noise Suppression Challenge dataset. In particular, the results show that estimating the parameters of an MFMVDR filter yields a higher performance in terms of PESQ and STOI than directly estimating the multi-frame filter or single-frame masks and than Conv-TasNet.

The Generalized Dirichlet to Neumann map for the KdV equation on the half-line

description: For the two versions of the KdV equation on the positive half-line an initial-boundary value problem is well posed if one prescribes an initial condition plus either one boundary condition if $q_{t}$ and $q_{xxx}$ have the same sign (KdVI) or two boundary conditions if $q_{t}$ and $q_{xxx}$ have opposite sign (KdVII). Constructing the generalized Dirichlet to Neumann map for the above problems means characterizing the unknown boundary values in terms of the given initial and boundary conditions. For example, if $\{q(x,0),q(0,t) \}$ and $\{q(x,0),q(0,t),q_{x}(0,t) \}$ are given for the KdVI and KdVII equations, respectively, then one must construct the unknown boundary values $\{q_{x}(0,t),q_{xx}(0,t) \}$ and $\{q_{xx}(0,t) \}$, respectively. We show that this can be achieved without solving for $q(x,t)$ by analysing a certain ``global relation'' which couples the given initial and boundary conditions with the unknown boundary values, as well as with the function $Φ^{(t)}(t,k)$, where $Φ^{(t)}$ satisifies the $t$-part of the associated Lax pair evaluated at $x=0$. Indeed, by employing a Gelfand--Levitan--Marchenko triangular representation for $Φ^{(t)}$, the global relation can be solved \emph{explicitly} for the unknown boundary values in terms of the given initial and boundary conditions and the function $Φ^{(t)}$. This yields the unknown boundary values in terms of a nonlinear Volterra integral equation.

description: We aim to review the spectral synthesis technique to derive the stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff, log g, and [Fe/H]) of 348 M dwarfs in light of the optical and near-infrared spectra obtained with CARMENES, the high-resolution, double-channel spectrograph installed at the 3.5 m telescope at the Calar Alto observatory (Spain). The analysis relies on the SteParSyn code as the preferred MCMC implementation of the spectral synthesis technique, along with 75 carefully selected, magnetically insensitive, Fe I and Ti I lines plus the γ- and ϵ-TiO bands synthesised with a grid of BT-Settl model atmospheres and the turbospectrum code. To avoid potential degeneracies in the parameter space, we impose a Bayesian prior on Teff and log g based on comprehensive, multi-band photometric data available for the sample. As a benchmark test in Teff, log g, and [Fe/H] we place special emphasis on three special subsets in our sample, namely 14 M dwarfs with interferometric angular diameter measurements, 15 M+M systems, and 7 wide physical binaries harbouring an FGK-type primary with known metallicity.

description: We study the dynamics of epidemic and reaction-diffusion processes in metapopulation models with heterogeneous connectivity pattern. In SIR-like processes, along with the standard local epidemic threshold, the system exhibits a global invasion threshold. We provide an explicit expression of the threshold that sets a critical value of the diffusion/mobility rate below which the epidemic is not able to spread to a macroscopic fraction of subpopulations. The invasion threshold is found to be affected by the topological fluctuations of the metapopulation network. The presented results provide a general framework for the understanding of the effect of travel restrictions in epidemic containment.

description: In this contribution, we will present a short overview of the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) approach as a tool for studying the 3-dimensional structure of hadrons in high-energy (un)polarized hadron collisions. We will then summarize the present status of a running research programme that aims at constraining the poorly known transverse momentum dependent gluon Sivers function, through the study of single spin asymmetries in quarkonium (mainly $J/ψ$), pion, and $D$-meson production in polarized proton-proton collisions at RHIC. Finally, we will shortly discuss perspectives for this field of research, emphasizing in particular its role in the physics programme of LHC in the fixed-target setup and NICA.

description: We study cutoff effects at tree-level of perturbation theory for maximally twisted mass Wilson, overlap and the recently proposed Creutz fermions. We demonstrate that all three kind of lattice fermions exhibit the expected O(a^2) scaling behaviour in the lattice spacing. In addition, the sizes of these cutoff effects are comparable for the three kinds of lattice fermions considered here. Furthermore, we analyze situations when twisted mass fermions are not exactly at maximal twist and when overlap fermions are studied in comparison to twisted mass fermions when the quark masses are not matched.

description: We briefly discuss the Hamiltonian formalism of Kantowski-Sachs space-times with vacuum, anisotropic fluid and two cross-streaming radiation field sources. For these models a cosmological time is introduced. New constraints are found in which the fluid momenta are separated from the rest of the variables. In consequence their Poisson brackets give an Abelian algebra.
