description: We analyze the performance of slowly driven meso- and micro-scale refrigerators and heat engines that operate between two thermal baths with small temperature difference. Using a general scaling argument, we show that such devices can work arbitrarily close to their Carnot limit only if heat-leaks between the baths are fully suppressed. Their power output is then subject to a universal geometric bound that decays quadratically to zero at the Carnot limit. This bound can be asymptotically saturated in the quasi-static limit if the driving protocols are suitably optimized and the temperature difference between the baths goes to zero with the driving frequency. These results hold under generic conditions for any thermodynamically consistent dynamics admitting a well-defined adiabatic-response regime and a generalized Onsager symmetry. For illustration, we work out models of a qubit-refrigerator and a coherent charge pump operating as a cooling device.

description: Deep learning has been a prevalence in computational chemistry and widely implemented in molecule property predictions. Recently, self-supervised learning (SSL), especially contrastive learning (CL), gathers growing attention for the potential to learn molecular representations that generalize to the gigantic chemical space. Unlike supervised learning, SSL can directly leverage large unlabeled data, which greatly reduces the effort to acquire molecular property labels through costly and time-consuming simulations or experiments. However, most molecular SSL methods borrow the insights from the machine learning community but neglect the unique cheminformatics (e.g., molecular fingerprints) and multi-level graphical structures (e.g., functional groups) of molecules. In this work, we propose iMolCLR: improvement of Molecular Contrastive Learning of Representations with graph neural networks (GNNs) in two aspects, (1) mitigating faulty negative contrastive instances via considering cheminformatics similarities between molecule pairs; (2) fragment-level contrasting between intra- and inter-molecule substructures decomposed from molecules. Experiments have shown that the proposed strategies significantly improve the performance of GNN models on various challenging molecular property predictions. In comparison to the previous CL framework, iMolCLR demonstrates an averaged 1.3% improvement of ROC-AUC on 7 classification benchmarks and an averaged 4.8% decrease of the error on 5 regression benchmarks. On most benchmarks, the generic GNN pre-trained by iMolCLR rivals or even surpasses supervised learning models with sophisticated architecture designs and engineered features. Further investigations demonstrate that representations learned through iMolCLR intrinsically embed scaffolds and functional groups that can reason molecule similarities.

description: Cet article examine empiriquement l’effet de l’âge, le sexe et le revenu sur la réalisation d’un achat impulsif. Basant sur la revue de littérature, un modèle conceptuel a était développé et testé sur un échantillon des clients des magasins de l’alimentation générale. Afin de tester les hypothèses de recherche et d’analyser les données de l’étude quantitative, nous avons utilisé le logiciel SPSS Version 18. Les résultats obtenus témoignent que les hommes réalisent plus d’achat impulsif lorsqu’il s’agit des produits alimentaires, alors que les femmes ont une certaine rationalité visà- vis ce type de produit. En plus, il s’avère que le sexe, l’âge et le revenu des individus sont des variables modératrices de la relation (trait d’impulsivité - le comportement d’achat impulsif). Sur le plan théorique et managérial, cette recherche offre des perspectives de compréhension aux chercheurs et aux professionnels sur les stratégies de segmentation de façon à pousser le consommateur à acheter d’une manière impulsive.

description: A number of researchers have proposed different scales for calculating the various atomic descriptors. Atomic descriptors viz. electronegativity and hardness, react differently to varied pressures as demonstrated by a recent study. This work explores the complex interplay in the field of molecular interactions involving pressure, electronegativity, chemical hardness and electrophilicity index. Although it is known that pressure plays a vital role in adjusting the electrical features of molecules, a little is known about how pressure specifically affects basic chemical ideas. After a thorough analysis, we have revealed the complex impact of pressure on the atomic electrophilicity index. The principles of equalisation for hardness, electronegativity and electrophilicity under various pressures (0, 200 and 500 GPa) have been analysed and presented in a novel way. This study advances our understanding of pressure's effect on molecular characteristics. The knowledge gathered from this research has a wide range of usage in scientific fields, which include materials science and chemical reactivity in harsh environments. It also lays the groundwork for future works pertaining to pressure-driven molecular design and application developments.

description: Enumerating simple cycles has important applications in computational biology, network science, and financial crime analysis. In this work, we focus on parallelising the state-of-the-art simple cycle enumeration algorithms by Johnson and Read-Tarjan along with their applications to temporal graphs. To our knowledge, we are the first ones to parallelise these two algorithms in a fine-grained manner. We are also the first to demonstrate experimentally a linear performance scaling. Such a scaling is made possible by our decomposition of long sequential searches into fine-grained tasks, which are then dynamically scheduled across CPU cores, enabling an optimal load balancing. Furthermore, we show that coarse-grained parallel versions of the Johnson and the Read-Tarjan algorithms that exploit edge- or vertex-level parallelism are not scalable. On a cluster of four multi-core CPUs with $256$ physical cores, our fine-grained parallel algorithms are, on average, an order of magnitude faster than their coarse-grained parallel counterparts. The performance gap between the fine-grained and the coarse-grained parallel algorithms widens as we use more CPU cores. When using all 256 CPU cores, our parallel algorithms enumerate temporal cycles, on average, $260\times$ faster than the serial algorithm of Kumar and Calders.

description: With an increasing demand for assistive technologies that promote the independence and mobility of visually impaired people, this study suggests an innovative real-time system that gives audio descriptions of a user's surroundings to improve situational awareness. The system acquires live video input and processes it with a quantized and fine-tuned Florence-2 big model, adjusted to 4-bit accuracy for efficient operation on low-power edge devices such as the NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano. By transforming the video signal into frames with a 5-frame latency, the model provides rapid and contextually pertinent descriptions of objects, pedestrians, and barriers, together with their estimated distances. The system employs Parler TTS Mini, a lightweight and adaptable Text-to-Speech (TTS) solution, for efficient audio feedback. It accommodates 34 distinct speaker types and enables customization of speech tone, pace, and style to suit user requirements. This study examines the quantization and fine-tuning techniques utilized to modify the Florence-2 model for this application, illustrating how the integration of a compact model architecture with a versatile TTS component improves real-time performance and user experience. The proposed system is assessed based on its accuracy, efficiency, and usefulness, providing a viable option to aid vision-impaired users in navigating their surroundings securely and successfully.

For this concern, we adopt the clear sky model proposed by Kasten, which takes into account some aspects of the atmospheric turbidity into consideration in order to estimate the incidental solar radiation on a horizontal plane. In addition we determine the incident solar radiation on an inclined plane from the global horizontal radiation. To validate the chosen model, we compare the simulated values of the solar radiation with the experimental measurements given by our CRX10 Campbell meteorological station installed in the location of this study.

Previous bulk experiments under hydrostatic pressure found signatures for a quantum critical regime that extends from $p_\mathrm{c} \approx 0.9$ GPa, where LRO disappears, up to $\sim 1.7$ GPa. We employed extensive muon spin relaxation and rotation ($μ$SR) experiments under pressure. The continuous and complete suppression of LRO at $p_\mathrm{c}$ is confirmed. Above $T_\mathrm{N}(p)$ and beyond $p_\mathrm{c}$, an additional crossover scale $T^\ast(p)$ characterizes the change from pure to stretched exponential relaxation in zero field. Remarkably $T^\ast(p)$ agrees with previously determined signatures of entropy accumulation above LRO. This coincidence microscopically evidences fluctuating frustrated spins at $T\leq T^\ast$ with spin-liquid behavior. Power-law divergences of the temperature and longitudinal field dependences of the relaxation rate, with time-field scaling, at pressures between $p_c$ and 1.7 GPa characterize this regime as quantum critical.

description: The cracks in steel parts may occur near the contact surfaces under the effect of concomitant constraints. The growth mechanisms crack and its emergence are not currently known with certainty. With the finite element method we have developed a mathematical model to determine the crack depth from the standard thermal contrast taking into account of the contrast time values. We found that the flux density and pulse duration have no remarkable influence on the thermal image samples. We calculated the proposed model accuracy, and the optimal value of the theoretical measurement time. The simulation results show that pulsed thermography is adapted to inspection and characterization the internal cracks into steel.

description: We analyze the statistical mechanics of a free-standing quantum crystalline membrane within the framework of a systematic perturbative renormalization group (RG). A power-counting analysis shows that the leading singularities of correlation functions can be analyzed within an effective renormalizable model in which the kinetic energy of in-plane phonons and subleading geometrical nonlinearities in the expansion of the strain tensor are neglected. For membranes at zero temperature, governed by zero-point motion, the RG equations of the effective model provide a systematic derivation of logarithmic corrections to the bending rigidity and to the elastic Young modulus derived in earlier investigations. In the limit of a weakly applied external tension, the stress-strain relation at $T = 0$ is anomalous: the linear Hooke's law is replaced with a singular law exhibiting logarithmic corrections. For small, but finite temperatures, we use techniques of finite-size scaling to derive general relations between the zero-temperature RG flow and scaling laws of thermodynamic quantities such as the thermal expansion coefficient $α$, the entropy S, and the specific heat C. A combination of the scaling relations with an analysis of thermal fluctuations shows that, for small temperatures, the thermal expansion coefficient $α$ is negative and logarithmically dependent on $T$, as predicted in an earlier work. Although the requirement $\lim_{T \to 0} α= 0$, expected from the third law of thermodynamics is formally satisfied, $α$ is predicted to exhibit such a slow variation to remain practically constant down to unaccessibly small temperatures.

description: This paper presents a new method for preparing silver nanofluids based onself assembly process induced by the aqueous emulsion of copolymers (Latex) on Silver nitrate precursor dissolved in alcohol. We have observed after few hours, that nanoparticles of silver are formed in the alcohol/latex solution without need of any external thermal excitation. These results are compared with the case where the synthesis was assisted by microwave providing thermal excitation. The latex polymers act as reducer inducing Ag+ →Ag° reaction in the colloidal solution and also as the protecting agent of the formed Ag nanoparticles encapsulated in the latex matrix. The obtained solutions have been characterized by The UV-Visible, XRD, TEM, and SEM. The UV- Visible spectrum shows a single peak at 425 nm arising from the surface plasmon absorption of silver nanoparticles. The TEM results showed that the spherical particles had an average diameter of 7 nm. The synthesized samples prepared Ag NPs were stable for more than 12 months at room temperature.

description: Molecular modeling does not replace experimental or theoretical methods previously developed, but provide an additional tool for material behavior understanding. The method of molecular dynamics is one of several existing modeling methods to better understand the dynamics at atomic or molecular scale. Embedded Atom Method (EAM) was adopted in this study to solve the N-body problem. The purpose of this investigation was the study of different growth mechanisms and morphology of Al-thin film on Ni(100) substrate at 300 K. In this context, several simulations were performed using the Pun and Mishin potential. We explored some diffusion mechanisms that occurred during the layers formation, namely the jump and the exchange mechanisms that influence the growth mode of the film and the roughness of the formed surface.

description: The energy utilization efficiency of the photovoltaic can be significantly improved by employing the MPPT (Maximum power point trackers) method. The MPPT is one of the key technologies in photovoltaic generation system;it allows extraction of maximum available power from the photovoltaic (PV) array.The maximum available power is tracked using specialized algorithms such as Perturb and Observe (P&O), and Incremental Conductance (InCd), which are widely applied in the MPPTcontroller due to their simplicity and easy implementation. This paper presents a detailed comparison of their theories and their simulations under the Matlab / Simulink environment. The obtained results show that the use of MPPT control improves in a considerable way the performance of PV systems.

description: The construction of covalent organic frameworks with special geometery and optical properties is of high interest, due to their unique physicochemical and biological properties. In this work, we report on a new method for the construction of triazine frameworks with defined topologies using coordination chemistry. Ball milling and wet chemical reactions between cyanuric chloride and melamine were directed in spatial arrangements and opposite optical activity. Cobalt was used as a directing agent to drive reactions into special morphologies, optical properties and biological activity. The enantiorecognition ability of triazine frameworks that was manifested in their activities against bacteria, demonstrated a new way for the construction of materials with specific interactions at biointerfaces.

description: Our aim is to investigate the crack diffusion created at single region of composite materials by using the fiber bundle model. So, we have applied an external single crack in one fiber of the composite material, and we then continue to increase this load at a very slow rate until the considered fiber breaks and its load is redistributed to its neighboring intact ones. This breaking and redistribution dynamics repeat itself and this process ensures an advancing interfacial fracture and the area of the damaged region increases with time until a final crack of material. Our calculations are done in the context of the local load-sharing rule. The results show that the damaged region area increases with time by following the Lifshitz-Slyozof law with an exponent growth x=2. This permits us to deduce the behavior of the crack diffusion with the applied load. The corresponding results of the life time materials exhibit an exponential decreasing with the applied load and a linear decreasing with temperature.

Natural and societal-induced environmental hazards: integrate interdisciplinary long–term research strategy for developing countries
Creators: name: Castilla, Juan Carlos
Publisher: name: Frontiers in Science and Engineering
Year: 2016
Subjects: Environmental hazards; disasters; integrative multidisciplinary research; mission oriented research model; developing countries; Chile.

description: Natural stochastic and societal-induced hazard events (S-IHEs), such as meteorological, climate, hydrological, geophysical and biological, are part of the so called “science of natural and societal-induced hazards and disaster risk”. In the past 50 years world impacts due to natural and NS-IHEs have increased about one order of magnitude, showing severe increases in economical damages. Moreover, over 90% of the population affected by them refers to events such as flooding, windstorms and droughts, with a mean of about 200,000 people directly affected per year. In my view the “hard-science” behind natural and S-IHEs involve basic disciplinary research as well as in the so called mission integrative and multidisciplinary research. In the are of natural hazards and S-IHEs there is an urgent need for disciplines to truly “talkeach- other” in an integrative way. Chile is a developing country facing numerous and dreadful natural and S-IHEs and therefore, scientific research (preparation, response, recovery, mitigation) and linkages with policy making and government, need to be part of integrate interdisciplinary long–term scientific research strategies. The paper describes, with details, a research multidisciplinary initiative (FONDAP Programs) highlighting long-term results regarding first world class publications, that may serve as an example for building natural and S-IHEs investigative and the design of public policy strategies in other developing countries.
