Faithful to the process. Representation strategies for the participatory design
Creators: name: Magagnini, Marta
Publisher: name: AIS - Architecture Image Studies
Year: 2020

description: Public participation in architecture implies a change to the whole traditional range of subjects and objects and opens to a new process whose results are not foreseen from the designer. Architectural drawing is asked to change as well; the paper questions representation languages and techniques, investigating which ones can be inclusive so that the final user can actively participate from the beginning to the end of the participatory process. The aim is to reflect on strategies, more than locked solutions, for this actual challenge in architecture making. Some experiences and international experimentations between the first and the third worlds are identified as best practices into design representation useful for the participatory process, considering both how ever-new digital technologies renew the traditional ones.

Chaos around the superposition of a monopole and a thick disk
Creators: name: Saa, Alberto
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We extend recent investigations on the integrability of oblique orbits of test particles under the gravitational field corresponding to the superposition of an infinitesimally thin disk and a monopole to the more realistic case, for astrophysical purposes, of a thick disk. Exhaustive numerical analyses were performed and the robustness of the recent results is confirmed. We also found that, for smooth distributions of matter, the disk thickness can attenuate the chaotic behavior of the bounded oblique orbits. Perturbations leading to the breakdown of the reflection symmetry about the equatorial plane, nevertheless, may enhance significantly the chaotic behavior, in agreement with recent studies on oblate models.

Digital Imagery and Architecture Explored in the architectural Education Studio
Creators: name: Bar-Eli, Amos
Publisher: name: AIS - Architecture Image Studies
Year: 2020

description: Projecting images on architectural surfaces is as old as architecture itself, arguably even proceeds architecture as it is traced to cave paintings. This phenomena of artificial space (image) within real space (architecture) has evolved in complexity and sophistication over the years, attempting to expand physical presence beyond the immediate space and time. Large glass panels, as they evolved early in the 20th century, blurred the distinction between interior and exterior space, and became, undoubtedly, the most dramatic architectural material of the 20th century. Digital imagery, moving image technology, and projection screens technology emerged late in the '50s, further enhanced the possibilities of spatial complexity. In the 21st century, accelerating technologies freed the 'moving-image' from the confines of the TV and the cinema theater to become common building material. Digital imagery and projection screens are dominant in contemporary life and culture. Projection screens can be made of almost every size and shape, they are sustainable to weather and light conditions, and can easily portray an endless variety of content. At this point the relationship between image and architecture are, most then ever, in need to be questioned and reevaluated. The paper begins by establishing, in architectural terms, the background of the issues surfaced by transparency and projection screen technology. This reality confronts us with new challenges, not the least within the confines of architecture education. It has become essential to develop and research new practices, design problems, and correspondingly relevant design exercises. The paper examines the subject by a case-study of a design exercise developed by the author and conducted with design students over the past several years. The design exercise suggests a framework to experiment with digital imagery and projection screens as a building material. The paper analysis the methodology of the exercise and evaluates its implications and outcomes. The paper concludes with a discussion of some questions and ideas for further discourse into the issue.

description: This work presents a step furthering a new perspective of proactive control of the spin-exciton dynamics in the quantum limit. Laser manipulation of spin-polarized optical excitations in a semiconductor nanodot is used to control the spin dynamics of two interacting excitons. Shaping of femtosecond laser pulses keeps the quantum operation within the decoherence time. Computation of the fidelity of the operations and application to the complete solution of a basic quantum computing algorithm demonstrate in theory the feasibility of quantum control.

description: We revisit a simple dynamical model of rupture in random media with long-range elasticity to test whether rupture can be seen as a first-order or a critical transition. We find a clear scaling of the macroscopic modulus as a function of time-to-rupture and of the amplitude of the disorder, which allows us to collapse neatly the numerical simulations over more than five decades in time and more than one decade in disorder amplitude onto a single master curve. We thus conclude that, at least in this model, dynamical rupture in systems with long-range elasticity is a genuine critical phenomenon occurring as soon as the disorder is non-vanishing.

description: We consider the long-standing problem of Rayleigh-Taylor instability with variable acceleration, and focus on the early-time dynamics of an interface separating incompressible ideal fluids of different densities subject to an acceleration being a power-law function of time for a spatially extended threedimensional flow periodic in the plane normal to the acceleration with symmetry group p6mm. By employing group theory and scaling analysis, we discover two distinct sub-regimes of the early time dynamics depending on the exponent of the acceleration power-law. The time-scale and the early-time dynamics are set by the acceleration for exponents greater than -2, and by the initial growth-rate (due to, e.g., initial conditions) for exponents smaller than -2. At the exponent value (-2) a transition occurs from one regime to the other with varying acceleration strength. For a broad range of the acceleration parameters, the instability growth-rate is explicitly found, the dependence of the dynamics on the initial conditions is investigated, and theory benchmarks are elaborated.

THE ROLE OF THE FAMILY IN THE MORAL FORMATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE
Creators: name: Mansurov, Farkhat
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The family plays a fundamental role in the moral formation of young people by providing the first environment where ethical values are introduced and reinforced. Parents, siblings, and extended family members act as role models, shaping children's understanding of right and wrong through their actions, guidance, and traditions. A positive family environment fosters emotional security, accountability, and moral reasoning, ensuring that young individuals develop strong ethical foundations. However, external influences such as peers, media, and societal changes present challenges to moral development. Nevertheless, a well-grounded moral upbringing within the family helps young people navigate these influences and make ethical decisions. This article explores the various ways in which the family contributes to moral formation, emphasizing the importance of parental guidance, sibling relationships, and family discipline. It also highlights the long-term impact of family-based moral education on individuals and society.
Properties of the Bose glass phase in irradiated superconductors near the matching field

description: Structural and transport properties of interacting localized flux lines in the Bose glass phase of irradiated superconductors are studied by means of Monte Carlo simulations near the matching field B_Phi, where the densities of vortices and columnar defects are equal. For a completely random columnar pin distribution in the xy-plane transverse to the magnetic field, our results show that the repulsive vortex interactions destroy the Mott insulator phase which was predicted to occur at B = B_Phi. On the other hand, for ratios of the penetration depth to average defect distance lambda/d <= 1, characteristic remnants of the Mott insulator singularities remain visible in experimentally accessible quantities as the magnetization, the bulk modulus, and the magnetization relaxation, when B is varied near B_Phi. For spatially more regular disorder, e.g., a nearly triangular defect distribution, we find that the Mott insulator phase can survive up to considerably large interaction range λ/d, and may thus be observable in experiments.

description: In this paper, inference for a multicomponent stress–strength model is studied. When latent strength and stress random variables follow a bathtub-shaped distribution and the failure times are Type-II censored, the maximum likelihood estimate of the multicomponent stress–strength reliability (MSR) is established when there are common strength and stress parameters. Approximate confidence interval is also constructed by using the asymptotic distribution theory and delta method. Furthermore, another alternative generalized point and confidence interval estimators for the MSR are constructed based on pivotal quantities. Moreover, the likelihood and the pivotal quantities-based estimates for the MSR are also provided under unequal strength and stress parameter case. To compare the equivalence of the stress and strength parameters, the likelihood ratio test for hypothesis of interest is also provided. Finally, simulation studies and a real data example are given for illustration.

description: The influence of high-Z dopant (Bromine) in low-Z foam (polystyrene) target on laser-driven fast electron propagation is studied by the 3D hybrid particle-in-cell (PIC)/fluid code HEETS.It is found that the fast electrons are better confined in doped targets due to the increasing resistivity of the target, which induces a stronger resistive magnetic field which acts to collimate the fast electron propagation.The energy deposition of fast electrons into the background target is increased slightly in the doped target, which is beneficial for applications requiring long distance propagation of fast electrons, such as fast ignition.

description: This paper presents a novel approach for detection of liver abnormalities in an automated manner using ultrasound images. For this purpose, we have implemented a machine learning model that can not only generate labels (normal and abnormal) for a given ultrasound image but it can also detect when its prediction is likely to be incorrect. The proposed model abstains from generating the label of a test example if it is not confident about its prediction. Such behavior is commonly practiced by medical doctors who, when given insufficient information or a difficult case, can chose to carry out further clinical or diagnostic tests before generating a diagnosis. However, existing machine learning models are designed in a way to always generate a label for a given example even when the confidence of their prediction is low. We have proposed a novel stochastic gradient based solver for the learning with abstention paradigm and use it to make a practical, state of the art method for liver disease classification. The proposed method has been benchmarked on a data set of approximately 100 patients from MINAR, Multan, Pakistan and our results show that the proposed scheme offers state of the art classification performance.

description: We consider the sector of N=8 five-dimensional gauged supergravity with non-trivial scalar fields in the coset space SL(6,R)/SO(6), plus the metric. We find that the most general supersymmetric solution is parametrized by six real moduli and analyze its properties using the theory of algebraic curves. In the generic case, where no continuous subgroup of the original SO(6) symmetry remains unbroken, the algebraic curve of the corresponding solution is a Riemann surface of genus seven. When some cycles shrink to zero size the symmetry group is enhanced, whereas the genus of the Riemann surface is lowered accordingly. The uniformization of the curves is carried out explicitly and yields various supersymmetric configurations in terms of elliptic functions. We also analyze the ten-dimensional type-IIB supergravity origin of our solutions and show that they represent the gravitational field of a large number of D3-branes continuously distributed on hyper-surfaces embedded in the six-dimensional space transverse to the branes. The spectra of massless scalar and graviton excitations are also studied on these backgrounds by casting the associated differential equations into Schrodinger equations with non-trivial potentials. The potentials are found to be of Calogero type, rational or elliptic, depending on the background configuration that is used.

description: Fernando Pessoa identified Alberto Caeiro as his master and as the core of his poetic universe. Caeiro, in turn, chose plants as his masters, their unassuming simplicity and resistance to metaphysical categories an inspiration for his writings. In this article, I analyze Caeiro’s relationship to plants as a proto-phenomenology and as an example of what I call “superficial realism,” an approach to the real that has abandoned the search for depth, considered an obsolete metaphysical construct. I conclude by interpreting Pessoa’s heteronymy and inauthenticity as an example of phytographia, a kind of writing influenced by the plants’ mode of being in the world.

description: 4-manifolds have special topological properties which can be used to get a different view on quantum mechanics. One important property (connected with exotic smoothness) is the natural appearance of 3-manifold wild embeddings (Alexanders horned sphere) which can be interpreted as quantum states. This relation can be confirmed by using the Turaev-Drinfeld quantization procedure. Every part of the wild embedding admits a hyperbolic geometry uncovering a deep connection between quantum mechanics and hyperbolic geometry. Then the corresponding symmetry is used to get a dimensional reduction from 4 to 2 for infinite curvatures. Physical consequences will be discussed. At the end we will obtain a spacetime representation of a quantum state of geometry by a non-singular fractal space (wild embedding) which is stable in the limit of infinite curvatures.

description: Network models of dirty electronic systems are mapped onto an interacting field theory of lower dimensionality by intepreting one space dimension as time. This is accomplished via Feynman's interpretation of anti-particles as particles moving backwards in time. The method developed maps calculation of the moments of the Landauer conductance onto calculation of correlation functions of an interacting field theory of bosons and fermions. The resulting field theories are supersymmetric and closely related to the supersymmetric spin-chain representations of network models recently discussed by various authors. As an application of the method, the two-edge Chalker-Coddington model is shown to be Anderson localized, and a delocalization transition in a related two-edge network model (recently discussed by Balents and Fisher) is studied by calculation of the average Landauer conductance.

We studied the color characteristics of extrudates depending on the composition of the mixture, humidity and temperature of extrusion. The independent variables chosen for the experiment were: mix proportions (barley flour: lentil flour: pumpkin flour) (Mix) - (50: 42: 8, 60: 32: 8, 70: 22: 8, 80: 12: 8, 90: 2: 8); moisture content (W), 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21%, and cylinder temperature (T), 115, 125, 135, 145 and 155 ° C. The response variables were the color characteristics of the extrudates: L *, a *, b * - color coordinates in the Lab system; H * - color tone; C * - saturation. The color performance of barley-based extrudates is improved at higher raw material moisture and extrusion temperatures. The extruded samples were evaluated organoleptically for appearance, texture, flavor and general acceptability. Of the 20 samples of extrudates, 14 samples received an acceptability higher than 3 points on a five-point scale

The classical solutions are brought onto a form were the difference between compact and infinite spatial sections are manifest. One of the features of the compact case is that it has a non-trivial moduli space. The solution space of the compact Bianchi Type I universe is 10 dimensional whereas the Kasner solutions only have a 1 dimensional solution space. We also include the classical solutions with dust and a cosmological constant. Solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation are obtained in light of the tunneling boundary proposal by Vilenkin. Backreaction effects from a simple scalar field are also investigated.

The results reveal a rich variety of liquid-vapour coexistence behaviour as $δ$ is tuned. Specifically, we uncover critical end point behaviour, a triple point involving a vapour and two liquids of different density, and tricritical behaviour. For a certain range of $δ$, the mean field calculations also predict a `hidden' (metastable) liquid-vapour binodal.

description: The Galactic transient black hole candidate H 1743--322 exhibited a long duration outburst in 2003 after more than two and a half decades of inactivity. The 2003 event was extensively studied in multi-wavelength bands by many groups. The striking feature is that the total energy released is extremely high as compared to that in tens of outbursts which followed. In this paper, we look at this event and study both the spectral and temporal properties of the source using two component advective flow (TCAF) paradigm. We extract accretion flow parameters for each observation from spectral properties of the decay phase and determine the mass of the black hole. We computed the energy released during all the known outbursts since 2003 and showed that on an average, the energy release in an outburst is proportional to the duration of the quiescent state just prior to it, with the exception of the 2004 outburst. A constant rate of supply of matter from the companion cannot explain the energy release in 2004 outburst. However, if the energy release of 2003 is incomplete and the leftover is released in 2004, then the companion's rate of matter supply can be constant since 1977 till date. We believe that erratic behaviour of viscosity at the accumulation radius $X_p$ of matter as well as location the $X_p$ itself, rather than the random variation of mass transfer rate from the companion, could be responsible for non-uniformity in outburst pattern. We discuss several factors on which the waiting time and duration of the next outburst could depend.

description: We study two-dimensional sigma-hole systems in boron layers by calculating the electronic structures of Mg_{1-x}Na_xB_2 and Mg_{1-x}Al_xB_2. In Mg_{1-x}Na_xB_2, it is found that the concentration of sigma holes is approximately described by (0.8 + 0.8 x) * 10^{22} cm^{-3} and the largest attainable concentration is about 1.6 * 10^{22} cm^{-3} in NaB_2. In Mg_{1-x}Al_xB_2, on the other hand, it is found that the concentration of sigma holes is approximately described by (0.8 - 1.4 x) * 10^{22} cm^{-3} and sigma holes are disappeared at x of about 0.6. These relations can be used for experimental studies on the sigma-hole systems in these materials.

description: Extruded barley based snacks containing pumpkin and lentils were prepared using a single screw extruder. The response surface methodology was used to optimize and evaluate the effect of three independent variables, namely: mix composition (50-90% barley flour; 2-42% lentil flour and 8% pumpkin flour), moisture content (13% -21%), and temperature cylinder (115-155 ° C). The response variables were: specific mechanical energy (MSE), bulk density (B), expansion coefficient (CR), hardness. It has been found that a low barrel temperature and low moisture content increase the lateral expansion of the extrudate, while a low barley content significantly reduces the lateral expansion of the extrudates. A higher moisture content indicates a positive effect on the hardness of the extrudate, while a higher barley content significantly reduces the hardness. Lower bulk density values were observed at lower moisture values. The specific mechanical energy of the barley-based extrudates ranged from 750.5 to 1097 kJ / kg, with a low moisture content, a significant decrease in the specific mechanical energy was observed.

description: We address the two-dimensional bimolecular annihilation reaction $A + A \to \emptyset$ in the presence of random impurities. Impurities with sufficiently long-ranged interaction energies are known to lead to anomalous diffusion, $ \sim t^{1-δ}$, in the absence of reaction. Applying renormalization group theory to a field theoretic description of this reaction, we find that this disorder also leads to anomalous kinetics in the long time limit: $c(t) \sim t^{δ-1}$. This kinetics results because the disorder forces the system into the (sub)diffusion controlled regime, in which the kinetics must become anomalous.

description: Density fluctuations of fluids with negative pressure exhibit decreasing time behaviour in the long wavelength limit, but are strongly unstable in the small wavelength limit when a hydrodynamical approach is used. On the other hand, the corresponding gravitational waves are well behaved. We verify that the instabilities present in density fluctuations are due essentially to the hydrodynamical representation; if we turn to a field representation that lead to the same background behaviour, the instabilities are no more present. In the long wavelength limit, both approachs give the same results. We show also that this inequivalence between background and perturbative level is a feature of negative pressure fluid. When the fluid has positive pressure, the hydrodynamical representation leads to the same behaviour as the field representation both at the background and perturbative levels.

description: Two-dimensional Eliashberg equations have been solved by use of a mixed interaction with $s$- and $d$-channels. It is discussed what kind of pairing symmetry of the superconducting state can be realized when the channel mixing parameters and the band-filling are varied. By changing the mixing parameters and varying the chemical potential $μ$ between zero- and half-filling, the pairing symmetry is determined and summarized into a phase diagram of the symmetry. It is revealed that there is an effective threshold in $μ$ for the appearance of the d-wave superconductivity regardless of the strength of the $d$-channel interaction. It is also shown that, although the s-wave superconductivity can occur for any value of $μ$ if the $s$-channel interaction is mixed sufficiently, the d-wave superconductivity has the advantage of achieving a high $T_{c}$ over the s-wave one, once it occurs.

description: We analyze from a far field the evolution of an interface that separates ideal incompressible fluids of different densities and has an interfacial mass flux. We develop and apply the general matrix method to rigorously solve the boundary value problem involving the governing equations in the fluid bulk and the boundary conditions at the interface and at the outside boundaries of the domain. We find the fundamental solutions for the linearized system of equations, and analyze the interplay of interface stability with flow fields structure, by directly linking rigorous mathematical attributes to physical observables. New mechanisms are identified of the interface stabilization and destabilization. We find that interfacial dynamics is stable when it conserves the fluxes of mass, momentum and energy. The stabilization is due to inertial effects causing small oscillations of the interface velocity. In the classic Landau dynamics, the postulate of perfect constancy of the interface velocity leads to the development of the Landau-Darrieus instability. This destabilization is also associated with the imbalance of the perturbed energy at the interface, in full consistency with the classic results. We identify extreme sensitivity of the interface dynamics to the interfacial boundary conditions, including formal properties of fundamental solutions and qualitative and quantitative properties of the flow fields. This provides new opportunities for studies, diagnostics, and control of multiphase flows in a broad range of processes in nature and technology.

description: Taraxacum poliochloroides Doll (1978: 630, Plate LXXI), described as a member of T. sect. Erythrocarpa
 Type indication:—“Typus: Holotypus im h Doll / Locus typicus: Borovez, Wegrand. 7. 7. 76. Doll“; also Plate LXXI: „ Taraxacum poliochloroides Doll sp. nov. – Holotypus ”.
 Type:— Bulgarien, Rila-Gebirge, Borovez, Wegrand. 7 Jul [19]76., R. Doll [as Taraxacum poliochloroides sp. nov. Holotypus!] (JE, no. det. 19061, holotype; isotype: JE, no. det. 19062).
 Epitype, designated here:— Bulgaria, montes Rodopi, Dobrostanski masiv: in pascuis in valle ca. 2 km situ occid. a pago Dobrostan, alt. ca. 1350 m, 10 May 1989, B. Slavík, cultivated from achenes (S 2228) as JŠ 4732 (PRA 8413, no. det. 28509, epitype; see also Taraxaca exsiccata, no. 987).
 Specimens of the OM:—There are two specimens of the OM of the name T. poliochloroides in JE. Plants on the first one (JE, no. det. 19061) were annotated as holotype by R. Doll and correspond to the photograph of the type on Plate LXXI. Plants are not well preserved but there are ripe achenes, slender and with a long cone, of brown colour. The other specimen (JE, no. det. 19062), is of extremely inferior quality, difficult to interpret.
 Conclusion:—According to the achenes and other features, T. poliochloroides belongs to a group of relatively robust species of T. sect. Erythrosperma, quite similar to T. acutiusculum Sonck but distinct in achene characters. In order to stabilize the usage of the name T. poliochloroides, we designate an epitype. The species is accepted in the new Flora of Bulgaria (Štěpánek & Kirschner, in prep.) and described in accordance with the type material.

description: We report momentum resolved charge excitations in a one dimensional (1-D) Mott insulator studied using high resolution (~ 325 meV) inelastic x-ray scattering over the entire Brillouin zone for the first time. Excitations at the insulating gap edge are found to be highly dispersive (momentum dependent)compared to excitations observed in two dimensional Mott insulators. The observed dispersion in 1-D is consistent with charge excitations involving holons which is unique to spin-1/2 quantum chain systems. These results point to the potential utility of inelastic x-ray scattering in providing valuable information about electronic structure of strongly correlated insulators.

Dynamic Non-Diagonal Regularization in Interior Point Methods for Linear and Convex Quadratic Programming

Year: 2019

description: In this paper, we present a dynamic non-diagonal regularization for interior point methods. The non-diagonal aspect of this regularization is implicit, since all the off-diagonal elements of the regularization matrices are cancelled out by those elements present in the Newton system, which do not contribute important information in the computation of the Newton direction. Such a regularization has multiple goals. The obvious one is to improve the spectral properties of the Newton system solved at each iteration of the interior point method. On the other hand, the regularization matrices introduce sparsity to the aforementioned linear system, allowing for more efficient factorizations. We also propose a rule for tuning the regularization dynamically based on the properties of the problem, such that sufficiently large eigenvalues of the non-regularized system are perturbed insignificantly. This alleviates the need of finding specific regularization values through experimentation, which is the most common approach in literature. We provide perturbation bounds for the eigenvalues of the non-regularized system matrix and then discuss the spectral properties of the regularized matrix. Finally, we demonstrate the efficiency of the method applied to solve standard small and medium-scale linear and convex quadratic programming test problems.
