description: We have investigated macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) in in-plane high-Tc superconductor Josephson junctions and the influence of the nodal-quasiparticle and the zero energy bound states (ZES) on MQT. We have shown that the presence of the ZES at the interface between the insulator and the superconductor leads to strong Ohmic quasiparticle dissipation. Therefore, the MQT rate is noticeably suppressed in comparison with the c-axis junctions in which ZES are completely absent.

description: Novel categories of electronic devices and quantum materials are obtained by pipelining the unitary evolution of electron quantum states as described by Schroedinger's equation with non-unitary processes that interrupt the coherent propagation of electrons. These devices and materials reside in the fascinating transition regime between quantum mechanics and classical physics. The devices are designed such that a nonreciprocal unitary state evolution is achieved by means of a broken inversion symmetry, for example as induced at material interfaces. This coherent state evolution is interrupted by individual inelastic scattering events caused by defects coupled to an environment. Two-terminal non-unitary quantum devices, for example, feature nonreciprocal conductance in linear response. Thus, they are exemptions to Onsager's reciprocal relation, and they challenge the second law of thermodynamics. Implementing the device function into the unit cells of materials or meta-materials yields novel functionalities in 2D and 3D materials, at interfaces, and in heterostructures.

description: In this paper we calculate the Galactic positron flux from dark matter annihilation in the frame of supersymmetry, taking the enhancement of the flux by existence of dark matter substructures into account. The propagation of positrons in the Galactic magnetic field is solved in a realistic numerical model GALPROP. The secondary positron flux is recalculated in the GLAPROP model. The total positron flux from secondary products and dark matter annihilation can fit the HEAT data well when taking a cuspy density profile of the substructures.

Dwarf Galaxies and the Black-Hole Scaling Relations

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The sample of dwarf galaxies with measured central black hole masses $M$ and velocity dispersions $σ$ has recently doubled, and gives a close fit to the extrapolation of the $M \propto σ$ relation for more massive galaxies. We argue that this is difficult to reconcile with suggestions that the scaling relations between galaxies and their central black holes are simply a statistical consequence of assembly through repeated mergers. This predicts black hole masses significantly larger than those observed in dwarf galaxies unless the initial distribution of uncorrelated seed black hole and stellar masses is confined to much smaller masses than earlier assumed. It also predicts a noticeable flattening of the $M \propto σ$ relation for dwarfs, to $M \propto σ^2$ compared with the observed $M \propto σ^4$. In contrast black hole feedback predicts that black hole masses tend towards a universal $M \propto σ^4$ relation in all galaxies, and correctly gives the properties of powerful outflows recently observed in dwarf galaxies. These considerations emphasize once again that the fundamental physical black-hole -- galaxy scaling relation is between $M$ and $σ$. The relation of $M$ to the bulge mass $M_b$ is acausal, and depends on the quite independent connection between $M_b$ and $σ$ set by stellar feedback.

description: We have searched for Balmer-dominated Type Ia SNRs in M33 by selecting thermal X-ray sources with $L_{\rm X} \ge 5\times10^{35}$ ergs s$^{-1}$, identifying associated H$α$ emission features, and checking their [S II] and [O III] emission properties. Our search did not find any Balmer-dominated Type Ia SNRs in M33. This result is puzzling because M33 is 2-3 times more massive than the LMC, yet the LMC hosts five Balmer-dominated Type Ia SNRs and M33 has none. We have considered observational biases, interstellar densities and ionization conditions, Type Ia SN rate expected from the star formation history and Type Ia SN delay time distribution function, and metallicity effect. None of these can explain the absence of X-ray-bright Balmer-dominated Type Ia SNRs in M33. It is intriguing that the Galaxy has X-ray-bright and thermal Type Ia SNRs (Kepler and Tycho) as well as X-ray-faint and nonthermal Type Ia SNRs (G1.9+0.3, SN1006, and RCW86), while the LMC does not have the X-ray-faint and nonthermal ones and M33 does not have the X-ray-bright and thermal ones.

description: We study the intramolecular vibrational energy redistribution (IVR) dynamics of an effective spectroscopic Hamiltonian describing the four coupled high frequency modes of CDBrClF. The IVR dynamics ensuing from nearly isoenergetic zeroth-order states, an edge (overtone) and an interior (combination) state, is studied from a state space diffusion perspective. A wavelet based time-frequency analysis reveals an inhomogeneous phase space due to the trapping of classical trajectories. Consequently the interior state has a smaller effective IVR dimension as compared to the edge state.

description: The UNESCO World Heritage List has been lauded
 as a successful tourism attraction brand that motivates site
 nominations. However, there has been relatively little
 research that deals specifically with World Heritage brand
 attraction effects, and what does exist shows conflicting
 results. Therefore, there is a significant research gap in
 terms of visitor awareness of the World Heritage brand and
 its potential impact on visitation.
 This study aims to understand the impact of the
 World Heritage brand on visitation through a comparative
 analysis of three case studies that were selected based on
 differences in their geographical location, cultural context,
 and level of social and economic development as measured
 by the Human Development Index. Surveys were
 distributed at three sites: Independence Hall, USA;
 Studenica Monastery, Serbia; and The Archaeological Site
 of Volubilis, Morocco.
 Visitors to Serbia and Morocco are much more
 World Heritage aware, implying that they know both the
 World Heritage List and the site’s status prior to visiting, in
 comparison with the USA. At all sites, these World
 Heritage aware visitors indicate that they have previously
 visited World Heritage sites. However, visitors are not
 motivated to visit individual sites based on World Heritage
 status. Additionally, while there is a definite segment with
 awareness of the World Heritage List and its sites,
 members of this group are not motivated by such
 awareness to actually visit the site.
 It is concluded that World Heritage may be a
 placebo brand, and that its importance may be tied more to
 political interests than economic advancement. Thus,
 dependency on the World Heritage List for tourism
 development may potentially be detrimental for locations
 in the long-term.

description: The application of multi-wavelength selection techniques is crucial for discovering a complete and unbiased set of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). Here, we select a sample of 72 AGN candidates in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) using deep radio and mid-infrared data from the Very Large Array (VLA) and the Spitzer Space Telescope, and analyze their properties across other wavelengths. Only 30% of these sources are detected in deep 200 ks Chandra X-ray Observatory pointings. The X-ray detected sources demonstrate moderate obscuration with column densities of N_H > 10^22 cm^-2. A stacked image of sources undetected by Chandra shows low levels of X-ray activity, suggesting they may be faint or obscured AGNs. Less than 40% of our sample are selected as AGNs with optical broad lines, mid-infrared power laws, or X-ray detections. Thus, if our candidates are indeed AGNs, the radio/mid-infrared selection criteria we use provide a powerful tool for identifying sources missed by other surveys.

description: The remote work ecosystem is transforming patterns of communication between teams and individuals located at distance. Particularly, the absence of certain subtle cues in current communication tools may hinder an online's meeting outcome by negatively impacting attendees' overall experience and, often, make them feeling disconnected. The problem here might be due to the fact that current tools fall short in capturing it. To partly address this, we developed an online platform-MeetCues-with the aim of supporting online communication during meetings. MeetCues is a companion platform for a commercial communication tool with interactive and visual UI features that support back-channels of communications. It allows attendees to be more engaged during a meeting, and reflect in real-time or post-meeting. We evaluated our platform in a diverse set of five, real-world corporate meetings, and we found that, not only people were more engaged and aware during their meetings, but they also felt more connected. These findings suggest promise in the design of new communications tools, and reinforce the role of InfoVis in augmenting and enriching online meetings.

description: The Drude weight of the Hubbard model on the two-dimensional square lattice is studied by the exact diagonalizations applied to clusters up to 20 sites. We carefully examine finite-size effects by consideration of the appropriate shapes of clusters and the appropriate boundary condition beyond the imitation of employing only the simple periodic boundary condition. We successfully capture the behavior of the Drude weight that is proportional to the squared hole doping concentration. Our present result gives a consistent understanding of the transition between the Mott insulator and doped metals. We also find, in the frequency dependence of the optical conductivity, that the mid-gap incoherent part emerges more quickly than the coherent part and rather insensitive to the doping concentration in accordance with the scaling of the Drude weight.

Data worth of the hydraulic conductivity measurements : slug test and pumping test
Creators: name: Zawadzki, Willy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The high cost of groundwater remediation is directly related to hydrogeological uncertainty. Of several parameters responsible for that uncertainty, hydraulic conductivity (K) is the most important, and at the same time the most difficult to estimate. K can be measured in the lab or field using permeameter tests, piezocone tests, slug tests and pumping tests. However, the hydraulic conductivities measured with these tests are not directly comparable because they characterize different volumes of the subsurface. In practice, one would like to know which method can be used to solve the engineering problem at hand most costeffectively. For example, is it cheaper from the risk-cost-benefit standpoint to take small-scale measurements with slug tests, or larger-scale measurements using pumping tests? Which method will provide greatest reduction in the uncertainty of the hydraulic conductivity field? I focus on the value of the two most commonly used field techniques, the slug test and pumping test, and address the problem using an empirical/numerical approach. First I examine the averaging properties of the pumping test using sensitivity analysis. The pumping-test averaging volume has an elliptical shape, and its size is proportional to the test duration and to the distance between the pumping well and the observation well. The averaging exhibits characteristic zonation, with zones behind and in-between the wells having the strongest impact on the pumping-test scale K. Additionally, the analysis shows the interwell zone influences the pumping-test K for tests of all duration. While the above mentioned properties of a pumping-test averaging volume disintegrate with increasing heterogeneity, some characteristic features can still be distinguished, even for strongly heterogeneous K fields. Next I develop a data-worth methodology applicable to measurements taken at different scales. The method relies upon the representation of larger-scale measured parameters as spatially-averaged smallerscale parameters. It combines a decision model, a hydraulic conductivity uncertainty model, and groundwater flow model employed in a Monte Carlo mode. I apply the data-worth methodology to a generic contamination scenario, where a decision maker is faced with contamination of a 2-D aquifer. The results show that a single pumping-test measurement has higher worth than a single slug-test measurement, and that the worth of a pumping-test measurement increases with increasing distance between the observation well and the pumping well. The worth of two slug-test measurements is comparable with the worth of a small scale pumping-test measurement, however the large scale pumpingtest measurement still proves to be more valuable. The higher data-worth of pumping test suggests that, on sites with configuration similar to the generic scenario, measurements with large averaging volume provide greater reduction in risk, and have greater impact on the decision making process.

description: Motivated by Grand Unification, we study the properties of domain walls formed in a model with $SU(5)\times Z_2$ symmetry which is spontaneously broken to $SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)/Z_6$, and subsequently to $SU(3) \times U(1)/Z_3$. Even after the first stage of symmetry breaking, the SU(3) symmetry is broken to $SU(2)\times U(1)/Z_2$ on the domain wall. In a certain range of parameters, flux tubes carrying color- and hyper-charge live on the domain wall and appear as ``boojums'' when viewed from one side of the domain wall. Magnetic monopoles are also formed in the symmetry breaking and those carrying color and hyper-charge can be repelled from the wall due to the Meissner effect, or else their magnetic flux can penetrate the domain wall in quantized units. After the second stage of symmetry breaking, fermions can transmute when they scatter with the domain wall, providing a simpler version of fermion-monopole scattering: for example, neutrinos can scatter into d-quarks, leaving behind electric charge and color which is carried by gauge field excitations living on the domain wall.

description: Graph theoretical analyses of nervous systems usually omit the aspect of connection polarity, due to data insufficiency. The chemical synapse network of Caenorhabditis elegans is a well-reconstructed directed network, but the signs of its connections are yet to be elucidated. Here, we present the gene expression-based sign prediction of the ionotropic chemical synapse connectome of C. elegans (3,638 connections and 20,589 synapses total), incorporating available presynaptic neurotransmitter and postsynaptic receptor gene expression data for three major neurotransmitter systems. We made predictions for more than two-thirds of these chemical synapses and observed an excitatory-inhibitory (E:I) ratio close to 4:1 which was found similar to that observed in many real-world networks. Our open source tool (http://EleganSign.linkgroup.hu) is simple but efficient in predicting polarities by integrating neuronal connectome and gene expression data.

description: Low fibre intake has emerged as a risk factor for the development of high blood pressure, a condition that affects over a billion people globally and is the leading contributor to cardiovascular disease. However, the biological pathways and specific metabolites involved remain unclear. This Thesis investigates how a lack of dietary fibre modulates the gut microbiome, impacting the host plasma metabolome in experimental and clinical hypertension. Findings reveal that under fibre-deprived conditions, the gut microbiota shifts its resource preference, fermenting tyrosine into p-Cresol, which increases p-Cresol glucuronide and p-Cresol sulfate in host circulation, potentially contributing to elevated blood pressure.

description: A broad peak is observed at low K^+K^- invariant mass in J/psi --> K^+K^-pi^0 decays found in a sample of 5.8\times 10^7 J/psi events collected with the BESII detector. A partial wave analysis shows that the J^PC of this structure is 1^--. Its pole position is determined to be (1576^{+49}_{-55}(stat)^{+98}_{-91}(syst)) MeV/c^2 - i(409^{+11}_{-12}$(stat)^{+32}_{-67}(syst)) MeV/c^2. These parameters are not compatible with any known meson resonances.

description: Galaxy clusters are some of largest structures in the universe. These very dense environments tend to be home to higher numbers of evolved galaxies that what is found in lower density environments. It is well known that dense environments can influence the evolution of galaxies through the removal of the neutral gas (HI) reservoirs which fuel star formation. It is unclear which environment has a stronger effect: the local environment (i.e. the substructure within the cluster), or the cluster itself. Using the new HI data from the Westerbork Coma Survey, we explore the average HI content of galaxies across the cluster comparing galaxies that reside in substructure to those that do not. We apply to the Dressler-Shectman test to our newly compiled redshift catalogue of the Coma cluster to search for substructure. With so few of the Coma galaxies directly detected in HI, we use the HI stacking technique to probe average HI content below what can be directly detected. Using the Dressler-Shectman test, we find 15 substructures within the footprint of the Westerbork Coma Survey. We compare the average HI content for galaxies within substructure to those not in substructure. Using the HI stacking technique, we find that the Coma galaxies (for which are not detected in HI) are more than 10--50 times more HI deficient than expected which supports the scenario of an extremely efficient and rapid quenching mechanism. By studying the galaxies that are not directly detected in HI, we also find Coma to be more HI deficient than previously thought.

description: In this paper, we analyze the high-resolution UV spectra for a C1.7 solar flare (SOL2017-09-09T06:51) observed by the \textit{Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph} (\textit{IRIS}). {We focus on the spectroscopic observations at the locations where the cool lines of \ion{Si}{4} 1402.8 Å ($\sim$10$^{4.8}$ K) and \ion{C}{2} 1334.5/1335.7 Å ($\sim$10$^{4.4}$ K) reveal significant redshifts with Doppler velocities up to $\sim$150 km s$^{-1}$.} These redshifts appear in the rise phase of the flare, then increase rapidly, reach the maximum in a few minutes, and proceed into the decay phase. Combining the images from \textit{IRIS} and Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on board the {\em Solar Dynamics Observatory} ({\em SDO}), we propose that the redshifts in the cool lines are caused by the downflows in the transition region and upper chromospheric layers, which likely result from a magnetic reconnection leading to the flare. In addition, the cool \ion{Si}{4} and \ion{C}{2} lines show gentle redshifts (a few tens of km s$^{-1}$) at some other locations, which manifest some distinct features from the above locations. This is supposed to originate from a different physical process.

description: In der heutigen visuell-orientierten Individualgesellschaft ist es für den christlichen Pastor und die christliche Pastorin eine stete Herausforderung, im alltäglichen Leben durch Worte und Taten Zeuge für Christus zu sein. Die Arbeit „Christum induistis“ untersucht, in welchem Umfang textiles Auftreten, in der Pastorenschaft der Freikirche der Siebenten-Tags Adventisten, dieses Bekenntnishandeln unterstützen kann. Dabei ist sowohl außerliturgische als auch liturgische Bekleidung für Geistliche Teil dieser Forschung. Um diesem Anliegen gerecht zu werden, wird nach einem Definitionsteil (2.), die (kirchen-)geschichtliche Entstehung klerikaler Kleidung, von neutestamentlicher Zeit bis in die Gegenwart, gezeichnet (3.). Sich als ausgebildeter Seelsorger und Amtsträger einer Kirche öffentlich sichtbar zu kleiden hat eine lange christlich-symbolische Tradition und ist selbst nachreformatorisch Teil der protestantischen Ekklesiologie, jedoch als Adiaphora anders bewertet und in den individuellen Raum des Einzelnen verlagert. Vor einer zusammenfassenden Beurteilung werden Kriterien diskutiert (4.), die das Tragen solch spezieller Kleidung befürworten oder ablehnen. Hier werden neben biblisch-theologischen, pastoral-theologischen und verhaltenspsychologischen Motiven, auch kritische Gegenargumente bedacht. Auf dieser Grundlage wird die Empfehlung ausgesprochen, dass sich Pastoren und Pastorinnen der Freikirche der Siebenten-Tags-Adventisten in der Öffentlichkeit sichtbar als ausgebildete Seelsorger und Geistliche kleiden können. Nicht nur weil damit ein sichtbares Bekenntnis zu Jesus Christus getragen wird, sondern weil Kleidung als nonverbales Gesprächsangebot in der Gesellschaft und Schutz vor negativen Verhaltensweisen fungiert. Im liturgischen Bereich wird eine Konsequenz im Talartragen bei Kasualgottesdiensten empfohlen. Zudem wird in der Arbeit eine Diskussion zu adventistischer Symbolik durch das Tragen einer Stola eröffnet. Im Appendix der Arbeit finden sich zwei Paragraphen, die der pastoralen Praxis dienen, da sie eine Kurzübersicht zu der Thematik, abschließender Beurteilung und Alltagshinweise bieten.

description: We are on the threshold of a significant change in the way we view digital life, which will have a major effect on the physical world. Computers have increasingly emulated deceased human beings through growing awareness in the fields of artificial intelligence, big data, and machine learning, and have symbolically managed to overcome death with the help of technology. One thing is clear, though: now that there are proper and legitimate discussions happening about human immortality, we can be certain that the future is upon us. This article attempts to explain and challenge the ways in which digital immortality, in particular, has manifested itself. This paper summarizes the technological solutions, research findings and technical challenges of major researchers by reviewing the key technologies and general technical schemes in the field of digital human beings. The prospects of digital human beings are being investigated.

description: A new approach to the two-body problem based on the extension of the $SL(2,C)$ group to the $Sp(4,C)$ one is developed. The wave equation with various forms of including the interaction for the system of the spin-1/2 and spin-0 particles is constructed. For this system, it was found that the wave equation with a linear confinement potential involved in the non-minimal manner has an oscillator-like form and possesses the exact solution.

The not-so-smoother
Creators: name: Eveson, Jennifer Paige
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: In this thesis, a local smoothing method, termed the not-so-smoother, designed to estimate discontinuous regression functions is proposed. Local smoothing techniques estimate the regression function at a given point by finding the "best fit" through the observations within a fixed neighbourhood of the point. The "best fit" can be the best constant fit (which gives the moving average smoother), the best linear fit, the best kdegree polynomial fit, et cetera. The not-so-smoother finds the best local broken constant fit, a piecewise constant function with exactly one simple discontinuity. Unlike any of the traditional local smoothing methods, the not-so-smoother uses discontinuous local fits and, therefore, has the ability to preserve discontinuities in the function. Consistency of the not-so-smoother under general conditions is proven. Performance of the smoother on simulated data, both continuous and discontinuous, is demonstrated, and an application to a real data set of electric current recordings through an ion channel in a cell membrane is also shown. Variations of the not-so-smoother which can lead to improved performance in certain situations are investigated.

description: Embedded systems have proliferated in various consumer and industrial applications with the evolution of Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet of Things. These systems are subjected to stringent constraints so that embedded software must be optimized for multiple objectives simultaneously, namely reduced energy consumption, execution time, and code size. Compilers offer optimization phases to improve these metrics. However, proper selection and ordering of them depends on multiple factors and typically requires expert knowledge. State-of-the-art optimizers facilitate different platforms and applications case by case, and they are limited by optimizing one metric at a time, as well as requiring a time-consuming adaptation for different targets through dynamic profiling. To address these problems, we propose the novel MLComp methodology, in which optimization phases are sequenced by a Reinforcement Learning-based policy. Training of the policy is supported by Machine Learning-based analytical models for quick performance estimation, thereby drastically reducing the time spent for dynamic profiling. In our framework, different Machine Learning models are automatically tested to choose the best-fitting one. The trained Performance Estimator model is leveraged to efficiently devise Reinforcement Learning-based multi-objective policies for creating quasi-optimal phase sequences. Compared to state-of-the-art estimation models, our Performance Estimator model achieves lower relative error (<2%) with up to 50x faster training time over multiple platforms and application domains. Our Phase Selection Policy improves execution time and energy consumption of a given code by up to 12% and 6%, respectively. The Performance Estimator and the Phase Selection Policy can be trained efficiently for any target platform and application domain.

description: We report the results of a study of neutral B meson decays to the D^0 pi+ pi- final state, where the D^0 is fully reconstructed. The results are obtained from an event sample containing 388 million BB-bar -meson pairs collected in the Belle experiment at the KEKB e^+e^- collider. The total branching fraction of the three-body decay B(bar{B}^0 -> D^0 pi^+ pi^-) =(8.4+-0.4(stat.)+-0.8(syst.)) 10^{-4} has been measured. The intermediate resonant structure of these three-body decays has been studied. From a Dalitz plot analysis we have obtained the product of the branching fractions for D^{*+}_2 and D^{*+}_0 production: B(bar{B}^0-> D^{*+}_2 pi^-) B(D_2^{*+}-> D^{0}π^+)= (2.15+-0.17(stat.)+-0.29(syst.)+-0.12(mod.))10^{-4}, and B(bar{B}^0-> D^{*+}_0 pi^-) B(D_0^{*+}-> D^{0} pi^+)= (0.60+-0.13(stat.)}+-0.15(syst.)+-0.22(mod.))10^{-4}. This is the first observation of the bar{B}^0-> D^{*+}_0 pi^- decay. The bar{B^0} -> D^0 rho^0 and D^0f_2 branching fractions are measured to be: B(bar{B}^0->D^0 rho^0)=(3.19+-0.20(stat.)+-0.24(syst.)+-0.38(mod.)) 10^{-4},and B(bar{B}^0-> D^0 f_2)=(1.20+-0.18(stat.)+-0.21(syst.)+-0.32(mod.)) 10^{-4}.

Neighborhood Preserving Kernels for Attributed Graphs

description: We describe the design of a reproducing kernel suitable for attributed graphs, in which the similarity between the two graphs is defined based on the neighborhood information of the graph nodes with the aid of a product graph formulation. We represent the proposed kernel as the weighted sum of two other kernels of which one is an R-convolution kernel that processes the attribute information of the graph and the other is an optimal assignment kernel that processes label information. They are formulated in such a way that the edges processed as part of the kernel computation have the same neighborhood properties and hence the kernel proposed makes a well-defined correspondence between regions processed in graphs. These concepts are also extended to the case of the shortest paths. We identified the state-of-the-art kernels that can be mapped to such a neighborhood preserving framework. We found that the kernel value of the argument graphs in each iteration of the Weisfeiler-Lehman color refinement algorithm can be obtained recursively from the product graph formulated in our method. By incorporating the proposed kernel on support vector machines we analyzed the real-world data sets and it has shown superior performance in comparison with that of the other state-of-the-art graph kernels.
