description: Velocity-resolved reverberation mapping suggests that the broad-line regions (BLRs) of AGNs can have significant net inflow. We use the STOKES radiative transfer code to show that electron and Rayleigh scattering off the BLR and torus naturally explains the blueshifted profiles of high-ionization lines and the ionization dependence of the blueshifts. This result is insensitive to the geometry of the scattering region. If correct, this model resolves the long-standing conflict between the absence of outflow implied by velocity-resolved reverberation mapping and the need for outflow if the blueshifting is the result of obscuration. The accretion rate implied by the inflow is sufficient to power the AGN. We suggest that the BLR is part of the outer accretion disk and that similar MHD processes are operating. In the scattering model the blueshifting is proportional to the accretion rate so high-accretion-rate AGNs will show greater high-ionization line blueshifts as is observed. Scattering can lead to systematically too high black hole mass estimates from the C IV line. We note many similarities between narrow-line region (NLR) and BLR blueshiftings, and suggest that NLR blueshiftings have a similar explanation. Our model explains the higher blueshifts of broad absorption line QSOs if they are more highly inclined. Rayleigh scattering from the BLR and torus could be more important in the UV than electron scattering for predominantly neutral material around AGNs. The importance of Rayleigh scattering versus electron scattering can be assessed by comparing line profiles at different wavelengths arising from the same emission-line region.

(Fig. 6.8, 6.10, 6.13)
 Material. SUI 109043, from locality CR-C.
 Discussion. A single librigena from Locality CR-C is obviously different from those of either Maurotarion chrysion or M. wenbanense from the same assemblage and probably represents a rare third species. The specimen differs from librigenae of M. chrysion in having a more laterally curved lateral border and genal spine, a wider field, a better impressed lateral border furrow, a narrower lateral border, and narrower doublure. It is somewhat more similar to librigenae of M. wenbanense, but obviously has a much longer genal spine.

description: Driver's gaze information can be crucial in driving research because of its relation to driver attention. Particularly, the inclusion of gaze data in driving simulators broadens the scope of research studies as they can relate drivers' gaze patterns to their features and performance. In this paper, we present two gaze region estimation modules integrated in a driving simulator. One uses the 3D Kinect device and another uses the virtual reality Oculus Rift device. The modules are able to detect the region, out of seven in which the driving scene was divided, where a driver is gazing at in every route processed frame. Four methods were implemented and compared for gaze estimation, which learn the relation between gaze displacement and head movement. Two are simpler and based on points that try to capture this relation and two are based on classifiers such as MLP and SVM. Experiments were carried out with 12 users that drove on the same scenario twice, each one with a different visualization display, first with a big screen and later with Oculus Rift. On the whole, Oculus Rift outperformed Kinect as the best hardware for gaze estimation. The Oculus-based gaze region estimation method with the highest performance achieved an accuracy of 97.94%. The information provided by the Oculus Rift module enriches the driving simulator data and makes it possible a multimodal driving performance analysis apart from the immersion and realism obtained with the virtual reality experience provided by Oculus.

description: Strategic planning aids enterprises to formulate a strategy, providing direction for future firm performance. However, strategic planning research has developed encompassing diverse subject matters. This has allowed scholars to thrive without being constrained, allowing multiple research perspectives. Numerous theories have been developed as the field has matured over the last fifty years in the business environment. This proposition holds true for the construction industry where these theories have been borrowed and adopted, resulting in an unclear landscape of how strategic planning practices occur in such firms. To answer this question a systematic literature review was conducted. Using the keywords “strategic planning” and “construction industry” between the years 2000-2022, a total of 511 papers were identified. After screening fifty papers were deemed appropriate for the study. Themes identified are strategic planning practices, human resource management, sustainability/environmental, strategic tools, alliances, performance, innovation, and theories. Strategic planning research is in decline, yet research of this subject has the potential to aid in a defined future for those who operate in the construction industry.

description: It is shown that a new type of metamaterial, a 3D-array of toroidal solenoids, displays a significant toroidal response that can be readily measured. This is in sharp contrast to materials that exist in nature, where the toroidal component is weak and hardly measurable. The existence of an optimal configuration, maximizing the interaction with an external electromagnetic field, is demonstrated. In addition, it is found that a characteristic feature of the magnetic toroidal response is its strong dependence on the background dielectric permittivity of the host material, which suggests possible applications. Negative refraction and backward waves exist in a composite toroidal metamaterial, consisting of an array of wires and an array of toroidal solenoids.

description: The origin of strain-induced ferromagnetism, which is robust regardless of the type and degree of strain in LaCoO3 (LCO) thin films, is enigmatic despite intensive research efforts over the past decade. Here, by combining scanning transmission electron microscopy with ab initio density functional theory plus U calculations, we report that the ferromagnetism does not emerge directly from the strain itself, but rather from the creation of compressed structural units within ferroelastically formed twin-wall domains. The compressed structural units are magnetically active with the rocksalt-type high-spin/low-spin order. Our study highlights that the ferroelastic nature of ferromagnetic structural units is important for understanding the intriguing ferromagnetic properties in LCO thin films.

description: CCCP, a CCD Controller for Counting Photons, is presented. This new controller uses a totally new clocking architecture and allows to drive the CCD in a novel way. Its design is optimized for the driving of EMCCDs at up to 20MHz of pixel rate and fast vertical transfer. Using this controller, the dominant source of noise of EMCCDs at low flux level and high frame rate, the Clock Induced Charges, were reduced to 0.001 - 0.0018 electron/pixel/frame (depending of the electron multiplying gain), making efficient photon counting possible. CCCP will be deployed in 2009 on the ESO NTT through the 3D-NTT1 project and on the SOAR through the BTFI project.

description: Every journey starts from a desire that is at the same time the drive towards appropriation and the awareness of an impossible fulfillment. Through the image of the baby pointing the finger on the map designating an unknown place  – the blank space – that he will want to reach when he will grow up, Joseph Conrad defines a paradigm that will be later recovered and remodeled by other authors. This essay follows the steps of Marlow in Heart of Darkness, in order to rediscover his tracks in actors such as Iain Sinclair and Will Self, in the attempt to build a relationship of contiguous desires to which literature has, over time, given body and substance, a fragile and impermanent substance that is, in a Shakespearian way, the matter which dreams are made by.

On the ethical-aesthetic potentials of special atmospheres

description: Discussions concerning the atmospheric raise questions about how it can be defined and what influences may stem from particular atmospheres. Moreover, a shift in emphasis can be seen in respect of the way phenomena and disciplines are understood. Aesthetics is considered to be a theory of sensual perception; ethics serves as a theory of the good life. The article focuses on the relationship between atmospheres and aesthetics (e.g. Benjamin’s ‘aura’ and Rilke on Rodin’s sculptures) as well as atmospheres and ethics (e.g. architecture or politics as façade) and concludes with three points about ethical-aesthetic potentials, thus enhancing in-betweenness, the development of aesthetic interest, as well as a re-evaluation.

Taxonomy

description: Tribe Cheirodontini, Clade B
Clade B Cheirodontines have the following four synapomorphies.
(5) Twelve to twenty-eight ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays in both males and females. Outgroup Cheirodontines and other outgroup characids have 5-11 ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays, except Salminus Agassiz in Spix & Agassiz, with 16 ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays according to Roberts (1969: 428-429). Salminus has no other synapomorphies listed here for the cheirodontine clades discussed.
(6) The ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays of males are elongate and the ray halves (see Weitz ­ man, 1962: 40, discussion of the anal-fin ray halves) of each side are fused along their entire length. In most other characids and clade A Cheirodontines the ray halvesform a V shaped bone in frontal view with its two halves fused only distally, although in some, for example Astyanax cf. bimaculatus Linnaeus, the anterior two or three ray halves may be fused for 50 to 80 % of their distal length.
(7) The anterior-most ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays of the females have the proximal portions of their ray halves fused to each other, but retain an opening near their distal tips, giving a needle-like shape to these rays. Females of most outgroup characids and Cheirodontines have the entire lengths of their ray halves separate.
(8) Several of the anteriormost ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays of males project through the muscles at which point they are covered only by extremely thin skin (often lost or nearly undetectable in preserved specimens). Thus they can be easily seen along the ventral margin of the caudal peduncle (Fig. 8). In other characids the anterior ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays are buried in the muscles and skin and are not visible along the ventral surface of the caudal peduncle. (9) Males of Clade B Cheirodontines have elongated hemal spines of four or more posterior caudal vertebrae (preural vertebrae), those anterior to the terminal half centrum and its processes. These are associated with the ventral procur ­ rent caudal-fin ray supports (Fig. 8). Outgroup Cheirodontines and characids have only the posterior one, two, or sometimes three caudal (preural) vertebrae directly articulating with the ventral procurrent caudal-fin rays.

description: The specific heat of the layered organic superconductor $κ$-% (BEDT-TTF)$_2$Cu(NCS)$_2$, where BEDT-TTF is bisethylenedithio-% tetrathiafulvalene, has been studied in magnetic fields up to 28 T applied perpendicular and parallel to the superconducting layers. In parallel fields above 21 T, the superconducting transition becomes first order, which signals that the Pauli-limiting field is reached. Instead of saturating at this field value, the upper critical field increases sharply and a second first-order transition line appears within the superconducting phase. Our results give strong evidence that the phase, which separates the homogeneous superconducting state from the normal state is a realization of a Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov state.

description: We consider the runtime enforcement of Linear-time Temporal Logic formulas on decentralized systems with no central observation point nor authority. A so-called enforcer is attached to each system component and observes its local trace. Should the global trace violate the specification, the enforcers coordinate to correct their local traces. We formalize the decentralized runtime enforcement problem and define the expected properties of enforcers, namely soundness, transparency and optimality. We present two enforcement algorithms. In the first one, the enforcers explore all possible local modifications to find the best global correction. Although this guarantees an optimal correction, it forces the system to synchronize and is more costly, computation and communication wise. In the second one, each enforcer makes a local correction before communicating. The reduced cost of this version comes at the price of the optimality of the enforcer corrections.

description: We explore the possibility to observe hard exclusive three-jet production in early LHC runs, corresponding to diffractive dissociation of the incident proton into three jets with large but compensating transverse momenta. This process is sensitive to the proton unintegrated gluon distribution at small x and to the distribution of the three valence quarks in the proton at small transverse distances. The corresponding cross section is calculated using an approach based on k_t factorization. According to our estimates, observation of hard diffractive three-jet production at LHC is feasible for jet transverse momenta q_perp \sim 5 GeV.

description: The abundance of deuterium in giant planet atmospheres provides constraints on the reservoirs of ices incorporated into these worlds during their formation and evolution. Motivated by discrepancies in the measured deuterium-hydrogen ratio (D/H) on Jupiter and Saturn, we present a new measurement of the D/H ratio in methane for Saturn from ground-based measurements. We analysed a spectral cube (covering 1151-1160 cm$^{-1}$ from 6 February 2013) from the Texas Echelon Cross Echelle Spectrograph (TEXES) on NASA's Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) where emission lines from both methane and deuterated methane are well resolved. Our estimate of the D/H ratio in stratospheric methane, $1.65_{-0.21}^{+0.27} \times 10^{-5}$ is in agreement with results derived from Cassini CIRS and ISO/SWS observations, confirming the unexpectedly low CH$_{3}$D abundance. Assuming a fractionation factor of $1.34 \pm 0.19$ we derive a hydrogen D/H of $1.23_{-0.23}^{+0.27} \times 10^{-5}$. This value remains lower than previous tropospheric hydrogen D/H measurements of (i) Saturn $2.10 (\pm 0.13) \times 10^{-5}$, (ii) Jupiter $2.6 (\pm 0.7) \times 10^{-5}$ and (iii) the proto-solar hydrogen D/H of $2.1 (\pm 0.5) \times 10^{-5}$, suggesting that the fractionation factor may not be appropriate for stratospheric methane, or that the D/H ratio in Saturn's stratosphere is not representative of the bulk of the planet.

Distribution:—Previously only known from China, Japan and Taiwan.
Ecology:—In Vietnam, this species has been found in damp broad-leaved forests. There it grows as an epiphyte on mossy tree trunks near streams.
Note:—This species has sometimes been lumped in Crepidomanes latealatum (Bosch) Copel. (1938: 60) (e.g., Liu et al. 2013; Nwe et al. 2017). Although these two species are genetically close to each other (3 bp. difference in their rbcL genes, Ebihara et al. 2010), however, C. makinoi can be distinguished from C. latealatum by having very short (mostly <1 cm long) stipes, sharply acute ultimate segment apexes, longer and denser striae (short false veinlets) between margins and midribs, and acute involucres. Here we followed TPG (2019) which recognized C. makinoi as a distinct species and treated C. palmifolium (Hayata) De Vol (1968: 108) as its synonym. In addition, we also reported its occurrence in China for the first time (see Additional specimens examined).

description: Technology enables a more sustainable and universally accessible educational model. However, technology has brought a paradox into students' lives: it helps them engage in learning activities, but it is also a source of distraction. During the academic year 2021-2022, the authors conducted a study focusing on classroom distractions. One of the objectives was to identify the main digital distractions from the point of view of students. The study was carried out at an engineering school, where technology is fully integrated in the classroom and in the academic routines of teachers and students. Discussions and surveys, complemented by a statistical study based on bivariate correlations, were used with participating students (n = 105). Students considered digital distractions to have a significant impact on their performance in lab sessions. This performance was mainly self-assessed as improvable. Contrary to other contemporary research, the results were not influenced by the year of study of the subject, as the issue is important regardless of the students' backgrounds. Professors should implement strategies to raise students' awareness of the significant negative effects of digital distractions on their performance, as well as to develop students' self-control skills. This is of vital importance for the use of technology to be sustainable in the long-term.

description: The process of change from a crude, agrarian economy to one dominated by industry and heavy machineries has taken a new facelift in the fourth industrial era. This era has in it a fusion of technologies in the physical, digital and biological sphere which can have profound impact on all industries and cause a shift in the models of business globally. There is a shift in the order of events and the fourth industrial revolution has with it velocity and exponential rate, breadth, and depth of convergence and its attendant import on industries, firms, government and the society at large. This research was framed as a qualitative study and a theoretical approach was used in providing support for the major thematic areas in this research article. A review of relevant pieces of literature in line with the topic under consideration was done to address the topic critically. This study reveals that there is a need for change along engineering lines since the traditional development models that have contributed to growth in the past might not be appropriate to maintain growth in the future. Exposing the need to have new techniques and business models that will influence present and future processes, this study recommends a rapid adaptation to global breakthroughs by South Africa, in order to ensure that all stakeholders vital to the educational, political and economic policies in South Africa, synergize to have in place factors that will ensure rapid uptake and local development of this emerging innovations.

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We consider a system interacting with a chaotic thermodynamic bath. We derive an explicit and exact Kraus operator sum representation (OSR) for the open system reduced density. The OSR preserves the Hermiticity, complete positivity and norm. We show that it is useful as a numerical tool by testing it against exact results for a qubit interacting with an isolated flawed quantum computer. We also discuss some interesting qualitative aspects of the OSR.

description: We study a mechanism to produce the circular polarization of primordial gravitational waves. The circular polarization is generated during the super-inflation driven by the Gauss-Bonnet term in the string-inspired cosmology. The instability in the tensor mode caused by the Gauss-Bonnet term and the parity violation due to the gravitational Chern-Simons term are the essential ingredients of the mechanism. We also discuss detectability of the produced circular polarization of gravitational waves. It turns out that the simple model of single-field inflation contradicts CMB observations. To circumvent this difficulty, we propose a two-field inflation model. In this two-field model, the circular polarization of gravitational waves is created in the frequency range designed by the Big-Bang Observer (BBO) or the deci-hertz gravitational-wave observatory (DECIGO).

description: This is a status report of the evaluation of the three-loop corrections to the static QCD potential of a heavy quark and an antiquark. The families of Feynman integrals that appear in the evaluation are described. To reduce any integral of the families to master integrals we solve integration-by-parts relations by the algorithm called FIRE. To evaluate the corresponding master integrals we apply the Mellin-Barnes technique. First results are presented: the coefficients of n_l^3 and n_l^2, where n_l is the number of light quarks.

description: We consider the effects of bound atomic electrons scattered by solar neutrinos due to the electromagnetic properties of neutrinos. This necessiate considering the recoil of atomic nucleus, which should be considered in the momentum conservation, but that effect to the energy conservation is negligible. This effect changes the kinematic behavior of the scattered electron compared to that scattered on free electrons. We apply this effect to the recent XENON1T data, but the bounds obtained from this is not very restrictive. We obtained the bounds: the (transition) magnetic moment $|f_{αβ}|\le 0.86\times 10^{-7}$ (times the electron Bohr magneton) and the charge radius $|\tilde{r}|< 4.30\times 10^{-17\,}{\rm cm}$. For a non-vanishing millicharge ($\varepsilon$), the allowed bound is shown in the $\tilde{r}^2-\varepsilon$ plane.

Dark energy models toward observational tests and data

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: A huge amount of good quality astrophysical data converges towards the picture of a spatially flat universe undergoing the today observed phase of accelerated expansion. This new observational trend is commonly addressed as Precision Cosmology. Despite of the quality of astrophysical surveys, the nature of dark energy dominating the matter-energy content of the universe is still unknown and a lot of different scenarios are viable candidates to explain cosmic acceleration. Methods to test these cosmological models are based on distance measurements and lookback time toward astronomical objects used as standard candles. I discuss the characterizing parameters and constraints of three different classes of dark energy models pointing out the related degeneracy problem which is the signal that more data at low (z= 0- 1), medium (1

description: We present a Rabi-type measurement of two ground-state hydrogen hyperfine transitions performed in two opposite external magnetic field directions. This puts first constraints at the level of 2.3 10^-21 GeV on a set of coefficients of the Standard Model Extension, which were not measured by previous experiments. Moreover, we introduce a novel method, applicable to antihydrogen hyperfine spectroscopy in a beam, that determines the zero-field hyperfine transition frequency from the two transitions measured at the same magnetic field. Our value, nu_0 = 1.420 405 751 63(63) GHz, is in agreement with literature at a relative precision of 0.44 ppb. This is the highest precision achieved on hydrogen in a beam, improving over previous results by a factor of 6.

Inelastic effects in molecular junction transport: Scattering and self-consistent calculations for the Seebeck coefficient

description: The influence of molecular vibration on the Seebeck coefficient is studied within a simple model. Results of a scattering theory approach are compared to those of a full self-consistent non-equilibrium Green's function scheme. We show, for a reasonable choice of parameters, that inelastic effects have non-negligible influence on the resulting Seebeck coefficient for the junction. We note that the scattering theory approach may fail both quantitatively and qualitatively. Results of calculation with reasonable parameters are in good agreement with recent measurements [P. Reddy et al., Science 315, 1568 (2007)]

description: Vortex dynamics in superconductors have received a great deal of attention from both fundamental and applied researchers over the past few decades. Because of its critical role in the energy relaxation process of type II superconductors, vortex dynamics have been deemed a key factor for the emerging superconducting devices, but the effect of irradiation on vortex dynamics remains unclear. With the support of electrical transport measurements under external magnetic fields and irradiation, photon effect on vortex dynamics in amorphous MoSi (a MoSi) superconducting thin films are investigated in this work. The magnetic field dependent critical vortex velocity v* derived from the Larkin Ovchinnikov model is not significantly affected by irradiation. However, vortex depinning is found to be enhanced by photon-induced reduction in potential barrier, which mitigates the adverse effect of film inhomogeneity on superconductivity in the a MoSi thin films. The thorough understanding of the vortex dynamics in a MoSi thin films under the effect of external stimuli is of paramount importance for both further fundamental research in this area and optimization of future superconducting devices.

Patrizi e Rabelais: un giudizio dimenticato
Creators: name: Cherchi, Paolo
Publisher: name: Annali Online  Lettere - Ferrara
Year: 2012

description: In view of the scarcity of any acknowledgment of Rabelais' work in the  Italian Cinquecento, a mention by Francesco Patrizi da Cherso in his Della Poetica takes on particular significance. This mention contains a judgment as well, and classifies the Gargantua-Pantagruel among the comic works but not among those which cause "meraviglia".  Perhaps Patrizi read Rabelais's work in Ferrara at the time he was  teaching philosophy there and where he wrote the "deca mirabile" where  the mention appears. Rabelais was a writer watched with suspicion by the  Inquisition , but perhaps his name was known in Ferrara through the  mediation of Renata di Francia.

description: Radiotherapy is a treatment where radiation is used to eliminate cancer cells. The delineation of organs-at-risk (OARs) is a vital step in radiotherapy treatment planning to avoid damage to healthy organs. For nasopharyngeal cancer, more than 20 OARs are needed to be precisely segmented in advance. The challenge of this task lies in complex anatomical structure, low-contrast organ contours, and the extremely imbalanced size between large and small organs. Common segmentation methods that treat them equally would generally lead to inaccurate small-organ labeling. We propose a novel two-stage deep neural network, FocusNetv2, to solve this challenging problem by automatically locating, ROI-pooling, and segmenting small organs with specifically designed small-organ localization and segmentation sub-networks while maintaining the accuracy of large organ segmentation. In addition to our original FocusNet, we employ a novel adversarial shape constraint on small organs to ensure the consistency between estimated small-organ shapes and organ shape prior knowledge. Our proposed framework is extensively tested on both self-collected dataset of 1,164 CT scans and the MICCAI Head and Neck Auto Segmentation Challenge 2015 dataset, which shows superior performance compared with state-of-the-art head and neck OAR segmentation methods.
