description: Collider observables involving heavy particles are subject to large logarithmic terms near threshold, which must be summed to all orders in perturbation theory to obtain sensible results. Relatively recently, this resummation has been extended to next-to-leading power in the threshold variable, using a variety of approaches. In this paper, we consider partonic channels that turn on only at next-to-leading power, and show that it is possible to resum leading logarithms using well-established diagrammatic techniques in Quantum Chromodynamics. We first consider deep inelastic scattering, where we reproduce the results of a recent study using an effective theory approach. Next, we consider the quark-gluon channel in both Drell-Yan and Higgs boson production, showing that an explicit all-order form for the leading logarithmic partonic cross section can be obtained. Our results agree with previous conjectures based on fixed-order results.

description: The origin and the implications of higher dimensional effective operators in 4-dimensional theories are discussed in non-supersymmetric and supersymmetric cases. Particular attention is paid to the role of general, derivative-dependent field redefinitions which one can employ to obtain a simpler form of the effective Lagrangian. An application is provided for the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model extended with dimension-five R-parity conserving operators, to identify the minimal irreducible set of such operators after supersymmetry breaking. Among the physical consequences of this set of operators are the presence of corrections to the MSSM Higgs sector and the generation of "wrong"-Higgs Yukawa couplings and fermion-fermion-scalar-scalar interactions. These couplings have implications for supersymmetry searches at the LHC.

description: The spatio-temporal dynamics of a population present one of the most fascinating aspects and challenges for ecological modelling. In this article we review some simple mathematical models, based on one dimensional reaction-diffusion-advection equations, for the growth of a population on a heterogeneous habitat. Considering a number of models of increasing complexity we investigate the often contrary roles of advection and diffusion for the persistence of the population. When it is possible we demonstrate basic mathematical techniques and give the critical conditions providing the survival of a population, in simple systems and in more complex resource-consumer models which describe the dynamics of phytoplankton in a water column.

description: We consider the Cacuhy problem for a viscous compressible rotating shallow water system with a third-order surface-tension term involved, derived recently in the modelling of motions for shallow water with free surface in a rotating sub-domain. The global existence of the solution in the space of Besov type is shown for initial data close to a constant equilibrium state away from the vacuum. Unlike the previous analysis about the compressible fluid model without coriolis forces, the rotating effect causes a coupling between two parts of Hodge's decomposition of the velocity vector field, additional regularity is required in order to carry out the Friedrichs' regularization and compactness arguments.

description: The combination of density-functional theory with other approaches to the many-electron problem through the separation of the electron-electron interaction into a short-range and a long-range contribution (range separation) is a successful strategy, which is raising more and more interest in recent years. We focus here on a range-separated method in which only the short-range correlation energy needs to be approximated, and we model it within the "extended Overhauser approach". We consider the paradigmatic case of the H$_2$ molecule along the dissociation curve, finding encouraging results. By means of very accurate variational wavefunctions, we also study how the effective electron-electron interaction appearing in the Overhauser model should be in order to yield the exact correlation energy for standard Kohn-Sham density functional theory.

description: Molecular dynamics simulations of ultrathin water film confined between atomically flat rigid diamond plates are described. Films with thickness of one and two molecular diameters are concerned and TIP4P model is used for water molecules. Dynamical and equilibrium characteristics of the system for different values of the external load and shear force are investigated. An increase of the external load causes the transition of the film to a solidlike state. This is manifested in the decreasing of the diffusion constant and in the ordering of the liquid molecules into quasidiscrete layers. For two-layer film under high loads molecules also become ordered parallel to the surfaces. Time dependencies of the friction force and the changes of its average value with the load are obtained. In general, the behaviour of the studied model is consistent with the experimental results obtained for simple liquids with spherical molecules.

description: Storing big data directly on a blockchain poses a substantial burden due to the need to maintain a consistent ledger across all nodes. Numerous studies in decentralized storage systems have been conducted to tackle this particular challenge. Most state-of-the-art research concentrates on developing a general storage system that can accommodate diverse blockchain categories. However, it is essential to recognize the unique attributes of a consortium blockchain, such as data privacy and access control. Beyond ensuring high performance, these specific needs are often overlooked by general storage systems. This paper proposes a decentralized storage system for Hyperledger Fabric, which is a well-known consortium blockchain. First, we employ erasure coding to partition files, subsequently organizing these chunks into a hierarchical structure that fosters efficient and dependable data storage. Second, we design a two-layer hash-slots mechanism and a mirror strategy, enabling high data availability. Third, we design an access control mechanism based on a smart contract to regulate file access.

description: The article investigates the origin and development of the concepts of ‘sex’ in the sense used in the sex-gender debate. It analyses medical and surgical texts from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. The main thesis is that the biological meaning of ‘sex’ was an effect of surgical interventions on herm-aphroditical bodies. In this context it becomes clear that until the end of the 18th century a phenotypical concept of ‘sex’ predominated. After the invention of hermaphroditical bodies the meaning of ‘sex’ changed into an organical, gonadic system.

description: We propose a method to exactly generate bridge run-and-tumble trajectories that are constrained to start at the origin with a given velocity and to return to the origin after a fixed time with another given velocity. The method extends the concept of effective Langevin equations, valid for Markovian stochastic processes such as Brownian motion, to a non-Markovian stochastic process driven by a telegraphic noise, with exponentially decaying correlations. We obtain effective space-time dependent tumbling rates that implicitly accounts for the bridge constraint. We extend the method to other types of constrained run-and-tumble particles such as excursions and meanders. The method is implemented numerically and is shown to be very efficient.

description: We have carried out a detailed study of individual pulse emission from the pulsar J1741$-$0840 (B1738$-$08), observed using the Parkes and Effelsberg radio telescopes at the $L$ band. The pulsar exhibits four emission components which are not well resolved by employing multi-component Gaussian fitting. The radio emission originates at a height of approximately 1000 km, with the viewing geometry characterized by inclination and impact angles roughly estimated at 81$^\circ$ and 3$^\circ$, respectively. Fluctuation spectral analysis of single pulse behaviour reveals two prominent periodicities, around 32 and 5 rotation periods. The longer periodic modulation feature is linked to nulling behaviour across the entire emission window, with an updated nulling fraction of 23$\pm$2\% is derived from pulse energy distribution via Gaussian mixture modeling. In addition to quasiperiodic nulling, the pulsar also exhibits the presence of subpulse drifting in the trailing component, with the shorter periodic feature in the fluctuation spectra related to the phenomenon of subpulse drifting, and the longitudinal separation estimated to be about 5 degrees. Both periodic modulations show significant temporal evolution with time-dependent fluctuation power. The ramifications for understanding the radio emission mechanisms are discussed.

description: Liver cancer is one of most commonly diagnosed cancers among Koreans. Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major risk factor for liver cancer. HBV infection can be prevented by effective screening and vaccination programs. The purpose of this study is to examine the status of HBV infection and the predictors associated with HBV vaccination. The study population was derived from the 2005 Korea National Cancer Screening Survey (KNCSS). The KNCSS is an annual cross-sectional survey that uses a nationally-representative random sampling to investigate cancer screening rates. A total of 1,786 Koreans over 40 years of age participated in this study. Of all the participants, 5.9% reported HBV positive (HBsAg+, HBsAb-), 41.8% were HBV negative but protected (HBsAg-, HBsAb+), and 52.3% were unprotected (HBsAg-, HBsAb-). Among unprotected individuals (n = 934), 23.1% reported to have received the vaccination. About half of those who had vaccinations completed the 3-shot vaccine series. In multiple analyses, education, having private cancer insurance, alcohol use, having regular check-up, and doing regular exercise were associated with completed HBV vaccination. This study result suggests that we need a liver cancer education program to increase HBV awareness and to increase the liver cancer prevention message among low educated populations.

description: We will discuss two inequivalent generalizations of the standard (2,0) supergravity action gr-qc/9501018 to include gravitational Chern-Simons term. One is in the first order formalism where we treat ω_{M}^{ab} as independent and the other is in the second order formalism where ω_{M}^{ab} is determined in terms of other fields via a standard constraint equation. The two theories have different equations of motion and the solutions to the equations of motion of the first order theory spans only a subset of those of the second order theory. We will be interested in computing the boundary S-matrix, describing correlation functions in a dual conformal field theory, in this sector and hence we use the equations of motion coming out of the first order theory. We restrict ourselves to the gauge+fermionic sector of the theory to compute the boundary S-matrix. We will also look at the effect of higher derivative terms on the boundary S-matrix obtained using the standard supergravity action.

Verhandlungen der mechanischen Maschine

description: The paper focuses on professional knowledge in modern engineering from a science studies and a gender studies perspective. Negotiations of the mechanical machine in engineering discourse are analyzed as constantly interwoven with professional politics of the field and with gendered knowledge about the engineer. Based on a detailed analysis of debates about the mechanical machine, where the boundary between technology and nature was discussed controversially and a hybrid version of the machine was suggested, it is argued that there are two concepts of masculinity negotiated too: firstly, the ‘rational man’ who is considered gender neutral and, secondly, the ‘man of action’ legitimized by a naturally productive masculinity. Both are co-produced with the machine as being hybrid or as being an object well-separated from nature. Thus it is suggested to do more research on the cyborgs of modernity in relation to engineering knowledge.

description: Within this paper, we show that the evaluation protocol currently used for inductive link prediction is heavily flawed as it relies on ranking the true entity in a small set of randomly sampled negative entities. Due to the limited size of the set of negatives, a simple rule-based baseline can achieve state-of-the-art results, which simply ranks entities higher based on the validity of their type. As a consequence of these insights, we reevaluate current approaches for inductive link prediction on several benchmarks using the link prediction protocol usually applied to the transductive setting. As some inductive methods suffer from scalability issues when evaluated in this setting, we propose and apply additionally an improved sampling protocol, which does not suffer from the problem mentioned above. The results of our evaluation differ drastically from the results reported in so far.

An investigation of the frequency shift mechanisms of IPDP type pulsations
Creators: name: Koleszar, Thomas W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Possible freguency shift mechanisms for IPDP micropulsation events are examined here. Micropulsation data collected from a north - south chain of stations in British Columbia is used for this study, along with normal-run magnetograms obtained from observatories near this chain, from eguatorial observatories, and from observatories to the east of the chain. Four theories proposing to explain the IPDP freguency shift have been advanced; the inward motion theory, the azimuthal drift theory, the increasing field theory, and the decreasing plasma density theory. It is found that two of these mechanisms, as described in the inward motion and azimuthal drift theories, can, acting together, account for the observed frequency shift in the events detected on the B.C.chain. The greater part of the frequency rise in these events is produced by the inward motion mechanism. It is also noted that the ionospheric duct strongly affects the propagation of the IPDP hydromagnetic waves through the upper atmosphere.

description: This articles shows from a gender perspective how in twentieth century Germany the sciences of work dealt with the problems of the factory’s spatial order and the human factor. Starting in the 1920s, workers were no longer regarded as mere objects of discipline but rather as individuals whose individuality was to be utilized. As the women workforce grew, also the scientists’ of work interest in the gender question gained significance. Consequently, ergonomics argued for workplace engineering and a new form of leadership that took special care of “psychological and aesthetic” female needs. Therefore, the discourse on humanizing work, becoming hegemonic after 1945, had gender roots usually neglected by historical research.

description: The cultural landscape of the capital of the first Czechoslovak Republic was marked by many different spaces of communication which were closely linked to certain communities (formed on the basis of national / ‘ethnic’ association). The article focuses on the example of two institutions and their lectures as such spaces that were specialised on producing, negotiating, presenting, applying and positioning knowledge. Theory and practice – words and action – do not appear there as opposites, but rather as inseparable threads of the same fabric. In past and present narration, those are covered by a reducing, yet powerful classification as being ‘female’ – a description which is based on symbolical aspects only (and not, e.g. on a gendered division of labour). Examining contexts and implications of this ascription, the article reveals reasons for the invisibility of paradoxes and diversity within the perceptions of these spaces of knowledge.

Titles of dissertations by female historians between 1875 and 2009 are evaluated statistically. Particular attention is given to dissertations focussing on women and gender history which originated not earlier than in the 1980ies. The theoretical and methodical procedures of a few chosen dissertations are examined. By relating the social category gender to the knowledge category gender, the results may prove relevant for gender-history, but also for discussing the functioning of academic knowledge systems and the dependency of scientific knowledge on social background.

description: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant tumor predisposition syndrome that involves the central and peripheral nervous systems. Accurate detection and segmentation of neurofibromas are essential for assessing tumor burden and longitudinal tumor size changes. Automatic convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are sensitive and vulnerable as tumors' variable anatomical location and heterogeneous appearance on MRI. In this study, we propose deep interactive networks (DINs) to address the above limitations. User interactions guide the model to recognize complicated tumors and quickly adapt to heterogeneous tumors. We introduce a simple but effective Exponential Distance Transform (ExpDT) that converts user interactions into guide maps regarded as the spatial and appearance prior. Comparing with popular Euclidean and geodesic distances, ExpDT is more robust to various image sizes, which reserves the distribution of interactive inputs. Furthermore, to enhance the tumor-related features, we design a deep interactive module to propagate the guides into deeper layers. We train and evaluate DINs on three MRI data sets from NF1 patients. The experiment results yield significant improvements of 44% and 14% in DSC comparing with automated and other interactive methods, respectively. We also experimentally demonstrate the efficiency of DINs in reducing user burden when comparing with conventional interactive methods. The source code of our method is available at \url{https://github.com/Jarvis73/DINs}.

description: We evaluate the pion and isobar propagators in cold nuclear matter self consistently applying a covariant form of the isobar-hole model. Migdal's vertex correction effects are considered systematically in the absence of phenomenological soft form factors. Saturated nuclear matter is modeled by scalar and vector mean fields for the nucleon. It is shown that the short-range dressing of the pi N Delta vertex has a significant effect on the pion and isobar properties. Using realistic parameters sets we predict a downward shift of about 50 MeV for the Delta resonance at nuclear saturation density. The pionic soft modes are much less pronounced than in previous studies.

description: Evidence is growing that the built environment has the potential to influence walking--both positively and negatively. However, uncertainty remains on the best approaches to representing the pedestrian environment in order to discern associations between walking and the environment. Research into the relationship between environment and walking is complex; challenges include choice of measures (objective and subjective), quality and availability of data, and methods for managing quantitative data through aggregation and weighting. In particular, little research has examined how to aggregate built environment data to best represent the neighborhood environments expected to influence residents' behavior. This study examined associations between walking and local pedestrian supports (as measured with an environmental audit), comparing the results of models using three different methods to aggregate and weight pedestrian features. Using data collected in 2005-2006 for a sample of 251 adult residents of Montgomery County, MD, we examined associations between pedestrian facilities and walking behaviors (pedestrian trips and average daily steps). Adjusted negative binomial and ordinary least-squares regression models were used to compare three different data aggregation techniques (raw averages, length weighting, distance weighting) for measures of pedestrian facilities that included presence, condition, width and connectivity of sidewalks, and presence of crossing aids and crosswalks. Participants averaged 8.9 walk trips during the week; daily step counts averaged 7042. The three aggregation techniques revealed different associations between walk trips and the various pedestrian facilities. Crossing aids and good sidewalk conditions were associated with walk trips more than were other pedestrian facilities, while sidewalk facilities and features showed associations with steps not observed for crossing aids and crosswalks. Among three methods of aggregation examined, the method that accounted for distance from participant's home to the pedestrian facility (distance weighting) is promising; at the same time, it requires the most time and effort to calculate. This finding is consistent with the behavioral assumption that travelers may respond to environmental features closer to their residence more strongly than to more distant environmental qualities.

description: The text focuses on the relationship between feminism as political movement and feminist science in the first decennium of the emerging women’s history (roughly spanning the 1980s). This relationship is to be understood as a correlation of different formations of gender-knowledge (i.e. what we are knowing about gender and why) originating in differing frames of reference: political and scholarly feminism. In both fields terms like “feminism” or – later on – “gender” meant something different, and even contradictory. Drawing particularly on the theory of Alfred Schütz and on current theoretical considerations on gender-knowledge (e.g. Angelika Wetterer), the article analyzes the controversy between Gisela Bock and Claudia Koonz during the later 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s – the so called Historikerinnenstreit. This debate about the female experience during the period of National Socialism arose from different views on women’s place in that society and on their share of responsibility for the crimes committed during that time. In it, political and scholarly gender-knowledge were mingled and stirred an unusually fierce controversy. By focussing on the deeper meanings of that debate, by taking into account the studies on women’s history published by both scholars and, more generally, the broader range of contemporary research addressing women’s history in the “Third Reich”, it can be demonstrated that the relationship between political and scholarly feminism did not simply – like often assumed – develop from a general consensus into more controversial and plural forms of knowledge. Instead there were fierce debates already in the early years of women’s history. Thus, the then developed and used analytical concepts – for example the dichotomy of the private vs. the public – must be viewed with a special sensitivity for the peculiar mix of political and scholarly gender-knowledge which inspired and informed each of these concepts.

description: The security of patient information is important during the transfer of medical data. A hybrid spatial domain watermarking algorithm that includes encryption, integrity protection and steganography is proposed to strengthen the information originality based on the authentication. The proposed algorithm checks whether the information of patients has been deliberately changed or not. The created code is distributed at every pixel of the medical image and not only in the regions of noninterest pixels, while the image details are still preserved. To enhance the security of the watermarking code, "SHA-1" is used to get the initial key for the Symmetric Encryption Algorithm. The target of this approach is to preserve the content of the image and the watermark simultaneously, this is achieved by synthesizing an encrypted watermark from one of the components of the original image and not by embedding a watermark in the image. To evaluate the proposed code the Least Significant Bit (LSB), Bit2SB, and Bit3SB were used. The evaluation of the proposed code showed that the LSB is of better quality but overall the Bit2SB is better in its ability against the active attacks up to a size of 2*2 pixels, and it preserves the high image quality.

description: Using tools from algebraic geometry and Groebner basis theory we solve two problems in network coding. First we present a method to determine the smallest field size for which linear network coding is feasible. Second we derive improved estimates on the success probability of random linear network coding. These estimates take into account which monomials occur in the support of the determinant of the product of Edmonds matrices. Therefore we finally investigate which monomials can occur in the determinant of the Edmonds matrix.

Generation of Vorticity and Velocity Dispersion by Orbit Crossing

description: We study the generation of vorticity and velocity dispersion by orbit crossing using cosmological numerical simulations, and calculate the backreaction of these effects on the evolution of large-scale density and velocity divergence power spectra. We use Delaunay tessellations to define the velocity field, showing that the power spectra of velocity divergence and vorticity measured in this way are unbiased and have better noise properties than for standard interpolation methods that deal with mass weighted velocities. We show that high resolution simulations are required to recover the correct large-scale vorticity power spectrum, while poor resolution can spuriously amplify its amplitude by more than one order of magnitude. We measure the scalar and vector modes of the stress tensor induced by orbit crossing using an adaptive technique, showing that its vector modes lead, when input into the vorticity evolution equation, to the same vorticity power spectrum obtained from the Delaunay method. We incorporate orbit crossing corrections to the evolution of large scale density and velocity fields in perturbation theory by using the measured stress tensor modes. We find that at large scales (k~0.1 h/Mpc) vector modes have very little effect in the density power spectrum, while scalar modes (velocity dispersion) can induce percent level corrections at z=0, particularly in the velocity divergence power spectrum. In addition, we show that the velocity power spectrum is smaller than predicted by linear theory until well into the nonlinear regime, with little contribution from virial velocities.

description: A major question in the field of star formation is how molecular clouds form out of the diffuse Interstellar Medium (ISM). Recent advances in 3D dust mapping are revolutionizing our view of the structure of the ISM. Using the highest-resolution 3D dust map to date, we explore the structure of a nearby star-forming region, which includes the well-known Perseus and Taurus molecular clouds. We reveal an extended near-spherical shell, 156 pc in diameter, hereafter the "Per-Tau Shell", in which the Perseus and Taurus clouds are embedded. We also find a large ring structure at the location of Taurus, hereafter, the "Tau Ring". We discuss a formation scenario for the Per-Tau Shell, in which previous stellar and supernova (SN) feedback events formed a large expanding shell, where the swept-up ISM has condensed to form both the shell and the Perseus and Taurus molecular clouds within it. We present auxiliary observations of HI, H$α$, $^{26}$Al, and X-rays that further support this scenario, and estimate Per-Tau Shell's age to be $\approx 6-22$ Myrs. The Per-Tau shell offers the first three-dimensional observational view of a phenomenon long-hypothesized theoretically, molecular cloud formation and star formation triggered by previous stellar and SN feedback.

description: Due to the widespread of advanced digital imaging devices, forgery of digital images became more serious attack patterns. In this attack scenario, the attacker tries to manipulate the digital image to conceal some meaningful information of the genuine image for malicious purposes. This leads to increase security interest about protecting images against integrity tampers. This paper proposes a novel technique for protecting colored images against forgery and pixel tamper. The proposed approach is designed as a hybrid model from three security techniques, Message Digest hashing algorithm (MD5), Advanced Encryption Standard-128 bits (AES), and Stenography. The proposed approach has been evaluated using set of image quality metrics for testing the impact of embedding the protection code on image quality. The evaluation results proved that protecting image based on Least Significant Bit (LSB) is the best technique that keep image quality compared with other two bit-substitution methods. Moreover, the results proved the superiority of the proposed approach compared with other technique in the literature.

description: Outflows in starburst galaxies driven by thermal-mechanical energy, cosmic rays and their mix are investigated with 1D and 2D hydrodynamic simulations. We show that these outflows could reach a stationary state, after which their hydrodynamic profiles asymptotically approach previous results obtained semi-analytically for stationary outflow configurations. The X-rays from the simulated outflows are computed, and high-resolution synthetic spectra and broadband light curves are constructed. The simulated outflows driven by thermal mechanical pressure and CRs have distinguishable spectral signatures, in particular, in the sequence of the keV K$α$ lines of various ions and in the L-shell Fe emission complex. We demonstrate that broadband colour analysis in X-rays is a possible alternative means to probe outflow driving mechanisms for distant galaxies, where observations may not be able to provide sufficient photons for high-resolution spectroscopic analyses.

Subjects: Fiction; fact; objectivity; literary theory; formalism

description: This essay surveys four articles of the section dedicated to the boundaries of fiction in literature, scientific discourse, and other areas of human creativity. The section is supposed to contribute to the study of a broad range of the problems of literary theory, such as the interaction between literature and other social practices, resulting in the creation of a particular discourse of ‘reality’ and ‘objectivity’, and the highly controversial issue of the relationship between ‘material’ and ‘form’ in the literary text.

description: This article focuses on how plastics were introduced to Finnish consumers. In Finland plastics made their breakthrough in the 1950s. New materials and domestic appliances were sold and advertised to Finnish consumers as offering the housewife the chance to liberate herself from the ‘slavery’ of housework. Our observations are based on press discussions and advertisements, as well as short films that will be examined in more detail in the article. The film material suggests that active efforts were made to gain public acceptance for the ‘miracle material’. New synthetic materials were presented not as luxury consumption, but as a form of progress, a new, more rational, way of attending to daily chores.
