description: Stacking order in van der Waals materials determines the coupling between atomic layers and is therefore key to the materials' properties. By exploring different stacking orders, many novel physical phenomena have been realized in artificial vdW stacks. Recently, 2D ferroelectricity has been observed in zero-degree aligned hBN and graphene-hBN heterostructures, holding promise in a range of electronic applications. In those artificial stacks, however, the single domain size is limited by the stacking-angle misalignment to about 0.1 to 1 $μ$m, which is incompatible with most optical or optoelectronic applications. Here we show MoS$_2$ in the rhombohedral phase can host a homogeneous spontaneous polarization throughout few-$μ$m-sized exfoliated flakes, as it is a natural crystal requiring no stacking and is, therefore free of misalignment. Utilizing this homogeneous polarization and its induced depolarization field (DEP), we build a graphene-MoS$_2$ based photovoltaic device with high efficiency. The few-layer MoS$_2$ is thinner than most oxide-based ferroelectric films, which allows us to maximize the DEP and study its impact at the atomically thin limit, while the highly uniform polarization achievable in the commensurate crystal enables a tangible path for up-scaling. The external quantum efficiency of our device is up to 16% at room temperature, over one order larger than the highest efficiency observed in bulk photovoltaic devices, owing to the reduced screening in graphene, the exciton-enhanced light-matter interaction, and the ultrafast interlayer relaxation in MoS$_2$. In view of the wide range of bandgap energy in other TMDs, our findings make rhombohedral TMDs a promising and versatile candidate for applications such as energy-efficient photo-detection with high speed and programmable polarity.

title: Über die Eignung des Verfahrens USB DaZ in außerschulischen Bildungseinrichtungen
Creators: name: Kessel, Saskia Valerie Sophie
Year: 2017

description: Diese Masterarbeit geht der Frage nach, inwiefern die für die Regelschule entwickelte ‚Unterrichtsbegleitende Sprachstandsbeobachtung Deutsch als Zweitsprache‘ (USB DaZ) auch im außerschulischen Bildungsbereich eingesetzt werden kann. Konkret wurde die Untersuchung in den beiden Institutionen ‚PROSA‘ (Projekt Schule für alle!) und ‚Start Wien – Das Jugendcollege‘ durchgeführt. Beide Einrichtungen verstehen sich als schulanalog und richten sich an Jugendliche bzw. junge Erwachsene, denen der Zugang zum österreichischen Bildungssystem nicht offen steht. In Anlehnung an die Aneignungsfolge des Deutschen als Zweitsprache gilt es, den Sprachunterricht entsprechend der Kompetenzen der Schüler*innen zu gestalten. Im Sinne der diagnosegestützten Sprachförderung kann auf die individuellen Kompetenzen und Bedarfe eingegangen werden. Anstelle von additivem Sprachunterricht findet die ‚Durchgängige Sprachbildung‘ in allen Unterrichtsfächern statt. Mithilfe von USB DaZ können Kompetenzprofile erstellt werden, die dies ermöglichen. Um zu überprüfen, ob USB DaZ auch im außerschulischen Bildungskontext eingesetzt werden kann, wurden sechs Trainer*innen von ‚PROSA‘ und ‚Start Wien – Das Jugendcollege‘ gebeten, das Verfahren im Rahmen ihres Unterrichts einzusetzen und anschließend in einem Leitfadeninterview von ihren Erfahrungen zu berichten. Die Antworten wurden mithilfe der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Gläser und Laudel (2009) ausgewertet. Es zeigt sich, dass das Verfahren eingesetzt werden kann, wenn diverse unterstützende Maßnahmen getroffen werden. Dazu gehören beispielsweise eine professionelle Einschulung für den Umgang mit USB DaZ, zusätzliche personelle Ressourcen sowie ein intensiver Austausch im Kollegium.

description: The core arguments used in various proofs of the extremal principle and its extensions as well as in primal and dual characterizations of approximate stationarity and transversality of collections of sets are exposed, analyzed and refined, leading to a unifying theory, encompassing all existing approaches to obtaining 'extremal' statements. For that, we examine and clarify quantitative relationships between the parameters involved in the respective definitions and statements. Some new characterizations of extremality properties are obtained.

description: The outflow of an object traveling in a fluid can shape the fluid morphology by forming a forward bow shock which accelerates the object via gravitational feedback. This dynamical effect, namely "dynamical anti-friction", has been studied in idealized infinite uniform media, which suffers from the convergence problem due to the long-range nature of gravitation. In this work, we conduct global 3D hydrodynamic simulations to study this effect in the scenario of a binary system, where the collision of outflows from both stars creates a suitable configuration. We demonstrate with simulations that a dense and slow outflow can give rise to a positive torque on the binary and lead to the expansion of the orbit. As an application, we show that binaries consisting of an AGB star and an outflowing pulsar can experience $\sim 10~\%$ orbit expansion during the AGB stage, in addition to the contribution from mass-loss. We also prove that the gravitational force drops as $O(r^{-3})$ from the center of mass in the binary scenarios, which guarantees a quick converge of the overall effect.

description: Self-buckling is an interesting phenomenon that is easily found around us, either in nature or in objects made by human. Palm fronds which initially directed upward when they were short and turned into bending after appreciably longer is an example of the self-buckling phenomenon. We report here that the self-buckling of columns can be treated as a process of second order phase transition by considering the straight column as disorder state, the bending column as order state, and the temperature as the inverse of column length. The critical temperature corresponds to the inverse of critical length for buckling, 1/Lcr, and the deviation angle made by column free end relative to vertical direction satisfies a scaling relationship with a scaling power of 0.485. Changing of the column geometry from the vertically upward to the bending state can be considered as a transition from disorder state to order state.

description: A leading theoretical expectation for the final stages of planet formation is that disk migration should naturally drive orbits into chains of mean motion resonances (MMRs). In order to explain the dearth of MMR chains observed at Gyr ages ($<1\%$), this picture requires such configurations to destabilize and scramble period ratios following disk dispersal. Strikingly, the only two known stars with three or more planets younger than $\lesssim 100$ Myrs, HR 8799 and V1298 Tau, have been suggested to be in such MMR chains, given the orbits' near-integer period ratios. We incorporate recent transit and radial velocity observations of the V1298 Tau system, and investigate constraints on the system's orbital architecture imposed by requiring dynamical stability on timescales much shorter than the system's age. We show that the recent radial-velocity mass measurement of V1298 Tau $b$ places it within a factor of two of the instability limit, and that this allows us to set significantly lower limits on the eccentricity ($e_b \leq 0.17$ at $99.7\%$ confidence). Additionally, we rule out a resonant chain configuration for V1298 Tau at $\gtrsim 99\%$ confidence. Thus, if the $\sim 23$ Myr-old V1298 Tau system did form as a resonant chain, it must have undergone instability and rearrangement shortly after disk dispersal. We expect that similar stability constrained characterization of future young multi-planet systems will be valuable in informing planet formation models.

description: Rice winnowing is a process of separation of small and large rice grains by air flow practiced since the ancient human history especially in societies where rice is the main source of carbohydrate (in Asia, Africa, and Latin America). Indeed, this process contains rich of scientific rule but has never been documented by the old society. We report here experimental investigation of the rice winnowing and develop a physical model to explain the process of segregation of rice grains having different size or density. Flapping the tray in the winnowing process, generates a vortex centered at position around the tray free end. We demonstrated numerically that the effectiveness of segregation is strongly depended on the different in grain sizes (for grain from the same material), the initial position of the grain, and the angular velocity of the vortex generated by flapping the tray. We obtained a phase diagram describing different final conditions of winnowing process (either the small grains move towards the tray fee end or move toward the inner end of the tray, able or unable to leave the tray at the free end). The result can be useful to design a new method in separating grains based on size or density.

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this work, the Ellis drainhole solution is derived in Einstein-Æther gravity, and subsequently, the axial quasinormal modes of the resulting drainhole are investigated. Owing to the presence of a minimally coupled scalar field with antiorthodox coupling polarity, the resultant metric solution is featured by a throat instead of a horizon, for which static æther solution becomes feasible. Moreover, the derived master equations for the axial gravitational perturbations consist of two coupled vector degrees of freedom. By utilizing the finite difference method, the temporal profiles of the quasinormal oscillations are evaluated, and, subsequently, the complex frequencies are extracted and compared against the specific values obtained by the WKB method when the coupling is turned off. Besides, the effect of the coupling on the low-lying quasinormal spectrum is explored, and its possible physical relevance is discussed.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit hat Strategien beim Relaisdolmetschen zum Thema. Diesem Aspekt des Relaisdolmetschens wurde in der Fachliteratur bisher wenig Platz eingeräumt, da sich diese hauptsächlich auf die Übertragung des Informationsgehaltes konzentrierte. Aus diesem Grund erwiesen sich Strategien beim Relaisdolmetschen – und spezifischer Strategien der lexikalischen Simplifizierung – als Forschungsfeld mit großem Potenzial. Zur Erforschung dieses Themas wird in der vorliegenden Masterarbeit neben einer Definition des Relaisdolmetschens, der Präsentation des Forschungsstandes zu diesem Thema und einer Erör-terung von Strategien ausgehend von der monolingualen Kommunikationssituation bis hin zum Relaisdolmetschen ebenfalls eine eigene Fallstudie präsentiert. Die Resultate dieser empirischen Untersuchung lassen darauf schließen, dass die Versuchspersonen beim Relaisdolmetschen im Allgemeinen weniger Gebrauch von Strategien der lexikalischen Simplifizierung machten als beim direkten Dolmetschen.
description: The topic of this master's thesis is strategies in relay interpreting. This aspect of relay interpreting has previously not been studied within the scientific literature, which has instead focused mainly on the transmission of informational content. For this reason, strategies in relay interpreting – and more specifically strategies of lexical simplification – present themselves as a promising field of study. Within this thesis, relay interpreting is defined, the state of research presented, and strategies are discussed, covering the entire range from the monolingual communicative situation to relay interpreting. Furthermore, a case study is presented, the results of which suggest that the test subjects in general made less frequent use of strategies of lexical simplification when undertaking relay interpreting in comparison to direct interpreting.

description: Resumo

A neurocisticercose (NC), causa importante de epilepsia, é a neuroparasitose mais frequente em todo o mundo. A clínica depende da resposta inflamatória do hospedeiro, do número, estadio e localização das lesões mas a forma de apresentação mais comum é a convulsão.
Objectivos: Caracterizar a neurocisticercose na população infantil de um Hospital Geral, na Zona Metropolitana de Lisboa.

População e Métodos: Revisão de Junho de 1996 a Dezembro de 2003 (6,5 anos) de crianças com neurocisticercose. Analisaram-se dados demográficos e epidemiológicos, quadro clínico, alterações laboratoriais e imagiológicas, terapêutica, evolução e rastreio familiar.

Resultados: Registaram-se 14 casos de NC com uma incidência estimada de 1,4/100000 na área estudada, um predomínio em crianças acima dos 10 anos (57%), sexo feminino (71%), oriundas de países africanos (93%) e com condições socioeconómicas deficientes (79%). Em todos os casos havia história epidemiológica para esta infestação. O sinal inaugural foi a convulsão em 86%. Os exames de imagem mostraram  uma lesão única < 20 mm, com localização parenquimatosa e com características de lesão activa em 86% dos doentes. A Ressonância Magnética foi o exame de eleição para estadiamento das lesões. Realizou-se terapêutica com anticonvulsivantes e nenhum doente tomou cestocidas ou corticosteroides. A evolução foi favorável na maioria. O rastreio familiar foi realizado em 71 % dos casos.

Conclusões: A doença ocorreu em crianças de origem africana com a apresentação habitualmente descrita na literatura. A ausência de terapêutica antiparasitária não interferiu no prognóstico. Ahistória epidemiológica e o rastreio familiar são importantes na detecção de possíveis fontes de contágio e na prevenção da doença.

description: Introdução: Apica define-se como uma perturbação do comportamento alimentar cuja característica essencial é a ingestão persistente de substâncias não nutritivas por um período de pelo menos um mês.

Caso Clínico: Criança do sexo masculino de 5 anos de idade com história de ingestão de esponja sintética (forro de cadeiras, colchões, bases de arranjos florais,..) desde há 8 meses. Internado por suspeita de bezoar, devido ao aparecimento de vómitos matinais com pedaços de esponja e abdominalgias, com 15 dias de evolução. Referia gostar do sabor da esponja. Apresentava atraso da linguagem e palidez cutânea e das mucosas, com anemia ferropénica  na avaliação analítica. Não foram detectados quaisquer sinais que evidenciassem a presença de psicopatologia grave apresentando, no entanto, baixa autonomia e alguns comportamentos regressivos. Com a terapêutica com ferro e orientação por pedopsiquiatria verificou-se o desaparecimento deste comportamento.

Discussão: Apica é multifactorial, associa-se a défices nutricionais, como o ferro, a factores psicossociais, como o atraso do desenvolvimento e a falta de estímulo ou desorganização familiar e a factores sensoriais, como o gosto pelo sabor e textura da substância ingerida. O bezoar é uma complicação rara que deve ser sempre excluída.

Conclusão: O diagnóstico de pica é difícil na ausência de complicações que a sinalizem e requer um elevado índice de suspeição. A abordagem tem de ser estruturada e multidisciplinar e abranger todos os factores intervenientes e possíveis complicações. Uma avaliação analítica e psicológica deve ser efectuada em todos os casos.

description: We study the equilibrium arrangements of polarization vortices in (PbTiO$_3$)$_n$/(SrTiO$_3$)$_n$ superlattices by means of second-principles simulations. We find that, at low temperatures, polarization vortices organize in a regular arrangement in which clockwise and counter-clockwise vortices alternate positions, leading to a crystal-like structure with well defined handedness. This chiral crystal melts at a critical temperature $T_\mathrm{M}$ into a chiral liquid, where long-range order is lost but handedness is preserved. At even higher temperatures, $T_\mathrm{C}$, a second phase transition occurs, at which the chiral liquid of polarization vortices loses its handedness. Both phase transitions can be readily identified by the adequate choices of order parameters.

description: The trajectory of the center of light of an unresolved binary is different from that of its center of mass. Binary-induced stellar centroid wobbling can therefore be detected as an excess in the goodness-of-fit of the single-star astrometric model. We use reduced $χ^2$ of the astrometric fit in the {\it Gaia} Early Data Release 3 to detect the likely unresolved double white dwarfs (DWDs). Using parallax-based distances we convert the excess of reduced $χ^2$ into the amplitude of the centroid wobble $δa$, which is proportional to the binary separation $a$. The measured $δa$ distribution drops towards larger wobble amplitudes and shows a break around $δa \approx 0.2$ where it steepens. The integral of the distribution yields DWD fraction of $6.5 \pm 3.7$ per cent in the range $0.01 < a (\text{au}) < 2$. Using synthetic models of the Galactic DWDs we demonstrate that the break in the $δa$ distribution corresponds to one side of a deep gap in the DWD separation distribution at around $a\approx 1$ au. Model DWDs with separations less than several au shrink dramatically due to (al least one) common envelope phase, reshaping the original separation distribution, clearing a gap and creating a pile-up of systems with $a\approx 0.01$ au and $δa < 0.01$. Our models reproduce the overall shape of the observed $δa$ distribution and its normalisation, however the predicted drop in the numbers of DWDs beyond the break is steeper than in the data.

description: The paper studies 'good arrangements' (transversality properties) of collections of sets in a normed vector space near a given point in their intersection. We target primal (metric and slope) characterizations of transversality properties in the nonlinear setting. The Holder case is given a special attention. Our main objective is not formally extending our earlier results from the Holder to a more general nonlinear setting, but rather to develop a general framework for quantitative analysis of transversality properties. The nonlinearity is just a simple setting, which allows us to unify the existing results on the topic. Unlike the well-studied subtransversality property, not many characterizations of the other two important properties: semitransversality and transversality have been known even in the linear case. Quantitative relations between nonlinear transversality properties and the corresponding regularity properties of set-valued mappings as well as nonlinear extensions of the new transversality properties of a set-valued mapping to a set in the range space due to Ioffe are also discussed.

description: Dynamics of atom-field correlations and single-mode nonclassicalities present in the resonant Jaynes-Cummings model are investigated using negativity and entanglement potential for a set of initial states. The study has revealed the interplay between three different types of nonclassicality present in the model and established that the nonclassicality is continuously exchanged between the field and atom through the atom-field correlations. Further, it is observed that the entanglement potential does not capture all the single-mode nonclassicality and there exists some residual nonclassicality in the reduced single-mode states at the output of the beam splitter which is not captured by the entanglement in which single-mode nonclassicality is quantitatively mapped in Asboth's criterion. Additional layers of beam splitters are added to deplete all the nonclassicality and to reveal that almost all the residual nonclassicality is captured with three layers of beam splitters. Further, the reduced states of the atom and field have zero (non-zero) quantum coherence in the Fock basis when the atom-field correlations are maximum if the field (or atom) has zero (non-zero) quantum coherence initially.

description: The demand of artificial intelligent adoption for condition-based maintenance strategy is astonishingly increased over the past few years. Intelligent fault diagnosis is one critical topic of maintenance solution for mechanical systems. Deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), have been successfully applied to fault diagnosis tasks for mechanical systems and achieved promising results. However, for diverse working conditions in the industry, deep learning suffers two difficulties: one is that the well-defined (source domain) and new (target domain) datasets are with different feature distributions; another one is the fact that insufficient or no labelled data in target domain significantly reduce the accuracy of fault diagnosis. As a novel idea, deep transfer learning (DTL) is created to perform learning in the target domain by leveraging information from the relevant source domain. Inspired by Wasserstein distance of optimal transport, in this paper, we propose a novel DTL approach to intelligent fault diagnosis, namely Wasserstein Distance based Deep Transfer Learning (WD-DTL), to learn domain feature representations (generated by a CNN based feature extractor) and to minimize the distributions between the source and target domains through adversarial training. The effectiveness of the proposed WD-DTL is verified through 3 transfer scenarios and 16 transfer fault diagnosis experiments of both unsupervised and supervised (with insufficient labelled data) learning. We also provide a comprehensive analysis of the network visualization of those transfer tasks.

description: We present new imaging and spectroscopic observations of the exoplanet host star $γ$ Cep A, and of its low-mass stellar companion $γ$ Cep B. We used AstraLux/CAHA to follow the orbital motion of the companion around its primary, whose radial velocity was determined with spectra of the star, taken with the spectrograph FLECHAS at the University Observatory Jena. We measured the astrometry of $γ$ Cep B relative to its primary in all AstraLux images and determined its apparent SDSS i'-band photometry, for which we obtained i'=9.84$\pm$0.17 mag. Using stellar evolutionary models and the Gaia parallax of the exoplanet host star, we derived the mass of $γ$ Cep B to be 0.39$\pm$0.03 M${_\odot}$. This is in good agreement with the mass of the companion, derived from its NIR photometry, given in the literature. With the detection limit, reached in our AstraLux images, we explored the detection space of potential additional companions in the $γ$ Cep binary system. In the background limited region at angular separations larger then 5 '' (or 69 au of proj. separation) companions down to 0.11 M$_\odot$ are detectable around $γ$ Cep A. The radial FoV, fully covered in our AstraLux images, exhibits a radius of 11.2 ''. This allows the detection of companions with proj. separations up to 155 au. However, except for $γ$ Cep B no additional companions could be imaged around the exoplanet host star. We redetermined the orbital solution of the $γ$ Cep binary system with the new AstraLux astrometry of $γ$ Cep B and the additional radial velocities of $γ$ Cep A, obtained from our FLECHAS spectroscopy of the star, combined with astrometric and radial velocity data from the literature. The determined orbital elements were used to derive the system parameters and to calculate specific future ephemeris for this intriguing exoplanet host binary star system.

description: This paper proposes a novel fault diagnosis approach based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) for imbalanced industrial time series where normal samples are much larger than failure cases. We combine a well-designed feature extractor with GAN to help train the whole network. Aimed at obtaining data distribution and hidden pattern in both original distinguishing features and latent space, the encoder-decoder-encoder three-sub-network is employed in GAN, based on Deep Convolution Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGAN) but without Tanh activation layer and only trained on normal samples. In order to verify the validity and feasibility of our approach, we test it on rolling bearing data from Case Western Reserve University and further verify it on data collected from our laboratory. The results show that our proposed approach can achieve excellent performance in detecting faulty by outputting much larger evaluation scores.

description: This paper continues studies of non-intersection properties of finite collections of sets initiated 40 years ago by the extremal principle. We study elementary non-intersection properties of collections of sets, making the core of the conventional definitions of extremality and stationarity. In the setting of general Banach/Asplund spaces, we establish new primal (slope) and dual (generalized separation) necessary conditions for these non-intersection properties. The results are applied to convergence analysis of alternating projections.

description: The non-relativistic effective theory of dark matter-nucleon interactions depends on 28 coupling strengths for dark matter spin up to 1/2. Due to the vast parameter space of the effective theory, most experiments searching for dark matter interpret the results assuming that only one of the coupling strengths is non-zero. On the other hand, dark matter models generically lead in the non-relativistic limit to several interactions which interfere with one another, therefore the published limits cannot be straightforwardly applied to model predictions. We present a method to determine a rigorous upper limit on the dark matter-nucleon interaction strength including all possible interferences among operators. We illustrate the method to derive model independent upper limits on the interaction strengths from the null search results from XENON1T, PICO-60 and IceCube. For some interactions, the limits on the coupling strengths are relaxed by more than one order of magnitude. We also present a method that allows to combine the results from different experiments, thus exploiting the synergy between different targets in exploring the parameter space of dark matter-nucleon interactions.

Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients and Type Ibn/Icn SNe from Wolf-Rayet/Black Hole Mergers

description: Progenitor models for the "luminous" subclass of Fast Blue Optical Transients (LFBOTs; prototype: AT2018cow) are challenged to simultaneously explain all of their observed properties: fast optical rise times < days; peak luminosities >1e44 erg/s; low yields <0.1 Msun of 56Ni; aspherical ejecta with a wide velocity range (<3000 km/s to > 0.1-0.5 c with increasing polar latitude); presence of hydrogen-depleted-but-not-free dense circumstellar material (CSM) on radial scales from ~1e14 cm to ~3e16 cm; embedded variable source of non-thermal X-ray/gamma-rays, suggestive of a compact object. We show that all of these properties are consistent with the tidal disruption and hyper-accretion of a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star by a black hole (BH) or neutron star (NS) binary companion. In contrast with related previous models, the merger occurs with a long delay (>~ 100 years) following the common envelope (CE) event responsible for birthing the binary, as a result of gradual angular momentum loss to a relic circumbinary disk. Disk-wind outflows from the merger-generated accretion flow generate the 56Ni-poor aspherical ejecta with the requisite velocity range. The optical light curve is powered primarily by reprocessing X-rays from the inner accretion flow/jet, though CSM shock interaction also contributes. Primary CSM sources include mass-loss from WR star (e.g., from the L2 point) during the earliest stages of the merger (~<1e14 cm) and the relic CE disk and its photoevaporation-driven wind (>~ 1e16 cm). Longer delayed mergers may instead give rise to supernovae Type Ibn/Icn (depending on the WR evolutionary state), potentially connecting these transient classes with LFBOTs.
