On the ground-state degeneracy and entropy in a double-tetrahedral chain formed by the localized Ising spins and mobile electrons

description: Ground-state properties of a hybrid double-tetrahedral chain, in which the localized Ising spins regularly alternate with triangular plaquettes occupied by a variable number of mobile electrons, are exactly investigated. We demonstrate that the zero-temperature phase diagram of the model involves several non-degenerate, two-fold degenerate and macroscopically degenerate chiral phases. Low-temperature dependencies of the entropy and specific heat are also examined in order to gain a deeper insight into the degeneracy of individual ground-state phases and phase transitions. It is shown that a diversity of the ground-state degeneracy manifests itself in multiple-peak structures of both thermodynamic quantities. A remarkable temperature dependencies of the specific heat with two and three Schottky-type maxima are discussed in detail.

description: Given additional distributional information in the form of moment restrictions, kernel density and distribution function estimators with implied generalised empirical likelihood probabilities as weights achieve a reduction in variance due to the systematic use of this extra information. The particular interest here is the estimation of densities or distributions of (generalised) residuals in semi-parametric models defined by a finite number of moment restrictions. Such estimates are of great practical interest, being potentially of use for diagnostic purposes, including tests of parametric assumptions on an error distribution, goodness-of-fit tests or tests of overidentifying moment restrictions. The paper gives conditions for the consistency and describes the asymptotic mean squared error properties of the kernel density and distribution estimators proposed in the paper. A simulation study evaluates the small sample performance of these estimators. Supplements provide analytic examples to illustrate situations where kernel weighting provides a reduction in variance together with proofs of the results in the paper.

The distance modulus of the Large Magellanic Cloud: Constraints from RR Lyrae pulsation properties
Creators: name: Catelan, M.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: It has recently been suggested that the discrepancy between the "long" and "short" distance moduli of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), as inferred from the properties of the Cepheid and RR Lyrae variables, respectively, might be due to the action of "third parameters" between the Galaxy and the LMC, which would make the RR Lyraes in the old LMC globular clusters brighter than their Galactic counterparts by $\simeq 0.3 {mag}$. Through analysis of the RR Lyrae pulsation properties, we show that this idea is not supported by the available data. A satisfactory explanation of the problem has yet to be found.

description: Soft robotic manipulators offer operational advantage due to their compliant and deformable structures. However, their inherently nonlinear dynamics presents substantial challenges. Traditional analytical methods often depend on simplifying assumptions, while learning-based techniques can be computationally demanding and limit the control policies to existing data. This paper introduces a novel approach to soft robotic control, leveraging state-of-the-art policy gradient methods within parallelizable synthetic environments learned from data. We also propose a safety oriented actuation space exploration protocol via cascaded updates and weighted randomness. Specifically, our recurrent forward dynamics model is learned by generating a training dataset from a physically safe \textit{mean reverting} random walk in actuation space to explore the partially-observed state-space. We demonstrate a reinforcement learning approach towards closed-loop control through state-of-the-art actor-critic methods, which efficiently learn high-performance behaviour over long horizons. This approach removes the need for any knowledge regarding the robot's operation or capabilities and sets the stage for a comprehensive benchmarking tool in soft robotics control.

description: Including corrections of order $O(m_{K^*}/m_B)$, we present an analysis of photonic penguin contributions to the decay $B\to K^* γ$ in the perturbative QCD framework. Employing several models of the meson wave functions, we demonstrate that the corrections of $O(m_{K^*}/m_B)$ are enhanced and will providesubstantial contributions to the decay because of the B meson wave function being sharply peaked (bound state effect). The numerical predictions for the corrections are about $30%\sim 60%$ which depend on the non-perturbative inputs such as the meson wave functions and the $b$-quark mass.

description: The study of Surface Air Cooled Oil Coolers (SACOC) is
motivated by the need for new cooling concepts for compact machinery designs
with high thermal load. Installing finned heat exchangers in the bypass duct of
a turbofan engine provides an additional cooling source having transonic flow
as a heat sink. The characterization of the heat transfer and the aerodynamics
of the design are essential to minimize the impact on the overall efficiency of
the engine. In the present study, the SACOC is studied numerically and
experimentally. Two geometries are tested in a high-speed linear wind tunnel
where measurements are taken with multiple sensors and optical techniques. For
the heat transfer characterization, an Inverse Heat Conduction Methodology
(IHCM) based on a Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm is developed. The experimental
results are matched to numerical simulations using a Reynolds Averaged
Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver. Finally, a multi-objective optimization algorithm is
coupled with the RANS solver to explore new
geometries that maximize the heat transfer and minimize the pressure drop
across the studied domain. The 400 profiles generated allow for the identification
of the features that have a higher influence on the performance of the fins and
six profiles that present large improvements are chosen for further analysis.
What dominates the time dependence of diffusion transverse to axons: Intra- or extra-axonal water?

description: Brownian motion of water molecules provides an essential length scale, the diffusion length, commensurate with cell dimensions in biological tissues. Measuring the diffusion coefficient as a function of diffusion time makes in vivo diffusion MRI uniquely sensitive to the cellular features about three orders of magnitude below imaging resolution. However, there is a longstanding debate, regarding which contribution --- intra- or extra-cellular --- is more relevant in the overall time-dependence of the diffusion metrics. Here we resolve this debate in the human brain white matter. By varying not just the diffusion time, but also the gradient pulse duration of a standard diffusion pulse sequence, we identify a functional form of the measured time-dependent diffusion coefficient transverse to white matter tracts in 5 healthy volunteers. This specific functional form is shown to originate from the extra-axonal space, and provides estimates of the fiber packing correlation length for axons in a bundle. Our results offer a metric for the outer axonal diameter, a promising candidate marker for demyelination in neurodegenerative diseases. From the methodological perspective, our analysis demonstrates how competing models, which describe different physics yet interpolate standard measurements equally well, can be distinguished based on their prediction for an independent "orthogonal" measurement.

description: Weakly magnetic, millisecond spinning neutron stars attain their very fast rotation through a 1E8-1E9 yr long phase during which they undergo disk-accretion of matter from a low mass companion star. They can be detected as accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsars if towards the end of this phase their magnetic field is still strong enough to channel the accreting matter towards the magnetic poles. When mass transfer is much reduced or ceases altogether, pulsed emission generated by particle acceleration in the magnetosphere and powered by the rotation of the neutron star is observed, preferentially in the radio and gamma-ray bands. A few transitional millisecond pulsars that swing between an accretion-powered X-ray pulsar regime and a rotationally-powered radio pulsar regime in response to variations of the mass in-flow rate have been recently identified. Here we report the detection of optical pulsations from a transitional pulsar, the first ever from a millisecond spinning neutron star. The pulsations were observed when the pulsar was surrounded by an accretion disk and originated inside the magnetosphere or within a few hundreds of kilometres from it. Energy arguments rule out reprocessing of accretion-powered X-ray emission and argue against a process related to accretion onto the pulsar polar caps; synchrotron emission of electrons in a rotation-powered pulsar magnetosphere seems more likely.

description: The goal of the present study was to examine effects of complexity and similarity of an interruption task on postinterruption performance in an 8-step procedural task with sequential constraints. In Experiment 1, the primary task was interrupted between different steps with 1 of 4 versions of n-back task, which differed in complexity (simple, complex) and similarity in processing codes (verbal, spatial) to the primary task. After the interruption, participants (N = 44) had to resume the primary task as quickly as possible with the next correct step, that is, the 1 following the step after which the interruption occurred. Postinterruption performance in terms of resumption times, sequence errors and nonsequence errors was assessed. Results of Experiment 1 revealed longer resumption times and more sequence errors after complex interruptions compared to the simple ones. However, effects of processing-code similarity were less clear. For assessing the effects of similarity in processing codes again in Experiment 2, participants (N = 41) performed the same primary task and were interrupted with a verbal or a spatial classification task. The results revealed no significant effect of processing code on the postinterruption performance. Moreover, a posthoc analysis revealed that 1-back (sequential) interruption led to longer resumption times compared to the classification (nonsequential) interruption. Overall, our results revealed strong and consistent detrimental effects of interruption complexity on the postinterruption performance and no effect of similarity in processing codes. Finally, we provide preliminary evidence that similarity in sequential structure between the tasks can influence the resilience toward interruptions.

description: We make progress towards an analytical understanding of the regime of validity of perturbation theory for large scale structures and the nature of some non-perturbative corrections. We restrict ourselves to 1D gravitational collapse, for which exact solutions before shell crossing are known. We review the convergence of perturbation theory for the power spectrum, recently proven by McQuinn and White, and extend it to non-Gaussian initial conditions and the bispectrum. In contrast, we prove that perturbation theory diverges for the real space two-point correlation function and for the probability density function (PDF) of the density averaged in cells and all the cumulants derived from it. We attribute these divergences to the statistical averaging intrinsic to cosmological observables, which, even on very large and "perturbative" scales, gives non-vanishing weight to all extreme fluctuations. Finally, we discuss some general properties of non-perturbative effects in real space and Fourier space.

The aim is to understand situations where it is desirable to fit a homogenized singlescale model to such multiscale data. We demonstrate, numerically and analytically, that if the data is sampled too finely then the parameter fit will fail, in that the correct parameters in the homogenized model are not identified. We also show, numerically and analytically, that if the data is subsampled at an appropriate rate then it is possible to estimate the coefficients of the homogenized model correctly.

description: In this Letter, we provide evidence for a new double-copy structure in one-loop amplitudes of the open superstring. Their integrands with respect to the moduli space of genus-one surfaces are cast into a form where gauge-invariant kinematic factors and certain functions of the punctures -- so-called generalized elliptic integrands -- enter on completely symmetric footing. In particular, replacing the generalized elliptic integrands by a second copy of kinematic factors maps one-loop open-string correlators to gravitational matrix elements of the higher-curvature operator R^4.

description: We report the results of the first complete survey of an area of the Galactic Plane for maser emission from the 6.7-GHz transition of methanol. The survey covers a 10.6-square-degree region of the Galactic Plane in the longitude range 325-335 degrees and latitude range -0.53-0.53 degrees. The survey is sensitive to masers with a peak flux density greater than approximately 2.6 Jy. The weakest maser detected has a peak flux density of 2.3 Jy and the strongest a peak flux density of 425 Jy. We detected a total of 50 distinct masers, 26 of which are new detections. We show that many 6.7-GHz methanol masers are not associated with IRAS sources, and that some are associated with sources that have colours differing from those of a typical ultra-compact HII region (UCHII). We estimate that the number of UCHII regions in the Galaxy is significantly more than suggested by IRAS-based estimates, possibly by more than a factor of two.

description: Among the possible decay modes of Higgs particles into supersymmetric states, neutralino and chargino decays play a prominent rôle. The experimental opportunities of observing such decay modes at LEP2 and at future e+e- linear colliders are analyzed within the frame of the Minimal Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model. For heavy Higgs particles, the chargino/neutralino decay modes can be very important, while only a small window is open for the lightest CP-even Higgs particle. If charginos/neutralinos are found at LEP2, such decay modes can be searched for in a small area of the parameter space, and invisible decays may reduce the exclusion limits of the lightest CP-even Higgs particle slightly; if charginos/neutralinos are not found at LEP2 in direct searches, the Higgs search will not be affected by the SUSY particle sector.

description: Recently reported van der Waals layered honeycomb rare-earth chalcohalides REChX (RE = rare earth, Ch = chalcogen, and X = halogen) are considered to be promising Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) candidates. The high-quality single crystals of YbOCl, a representative member of the family with an effective spin of 1/2, are available now. The crystalline electric field (CEF) excitations in a rare-earth spin system are fundamentally important for understanding both finite-temperature and ground-state magnetism, but remain unexplored in YbOCl so far. In this paper, we conduct a comprehensive Raman scattering study to unambiguously identify the CEF excitations in YbOCl and determine the CEF parameters and wave functions. Our Raman experiments further reveal the anomalous nonlinear CEF splitting under magnetic fields. We have grown single crystals of YbOCl, the nonmagnetic LuOCl, and the diluted magnetic Lu_{0.86}Yb_{0.14}OCl to make a completely comparative investigation. Polarized Raman spectra on the samples at 1.8 K allow us to clearly assign all the Raman-active phonon modes and explicitly identify the CEF excitations in YbOCl. The CEF excitations are further examined using temperature-dependent Raman measurements and careful symmetry analysis based on Raman tensors related to CEF excitations. By applying the CEF Hamiltonian to the experimentally determined CEF excitations, we extract the CEF parameters and eventually determine the CEF wave functions. The study experimentally pins down the CEF excitations in the Kitaev compound YbOCl and sets a foundation for understanding its finite-temperature magnetism and exploring the possible nontrivial spin ground state.

In order to maintain close to optimal functioning both stability and adaptability are necessary. Here we investigate the stability of hierarchical networks that emerge from the simulations of an organization-type having an efficiency function reminiscent of the Hamiltonian of spin-glasses. Using this quantitative approach we find a number of expected (from everyday observations) and highly non-trivial results for the obtained locally optimal networks, including such as: i) stability increases with growing efficiency and level of hierarchy, ii) the same perturbation results in a larger change for more efficient states, iii) networks with a lower level of hierarchy become more efficient after perturbation, iv) due to the huge number of possible optimal states only a small fraction of them exhibits resilience and, finally, v) "attacks" targeting the nodes selectively (regarding their position in the hierarchy) can result in paradoxical outcomes.

A culture of habit: habitual dispositions in late early modern English intellectual thought
Creators: name: Walker, Martin
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2020

description: This thesis examines the concept of ‘habit’ and notions of ‘habitual dispositions’ in late early modern English thought. It’s primary aim is to highlight the ways in which the process of acquiring habitual dispositions was an integral part of late Early Modern English intellectual life, which was founded upon the need to habituate the individual to internalise moral virtues and to govern their passions and actions so as to cultivate religious sociability, establish epistemological consensus, and maintain civil society. Chapter 1 presents a new reading of the concept of ‘right reason’ through a close examination of the works of Henry More and John Wilkins. Chapter 2 examines the notion of habitual dispositions in Restoration religion, focusing on how a group of loosely connected moderate divines attempted to fashion a religion that was founded on habitually acquired moral beliefs and dispositions. Chapter 3 then shifts the focus to the context of the new experimental philosophy, demonstrating how experimental philosophers such as Robert Boyle and Robert Hooke were preoccupied with cultivating good experimental habitual behaviour and dispositions. The fourth and final chapter, in light of the genealogy of habit that has been mapped out in the first three chapters, presents a new reading of John Locke’s educational programme. The broader aim of this thesis is to historicise the late-Early Modern English conception of habit as well as highlight its importance in English intellectual thought. A proper historicisation of late Early Modern English intellectual approaches to, and uses of habit will help us see that not only was habit viewed favourably, but that it was also a crucial part of intellectual life and could provide a safeguard against a multitude of pressing intellectual, religious, and civil problems that plagued the period.

description: Experimental design applications for discriminating between models have been hampered by the assumption to know beforehand which model is the true one, which is counter to the very aim of the experiment. Previous approaches to alleviate this requirement were either symmetrizations of asymmetric techniques, or Bayesian, minimax and sequential approaches. Here we present a genuinely symmetric criterion based on a linearized distance between mean-value surfaces and the newly introduced tool of flexible nominal confidence sets. We demonstrate the computational efficiency of the approach using the proposed criterion and provide a Monte-Carlo evaluation of its discrimination performance on the basis of the likelihood ratio. An application for a pair of competing models in enzyme kinetics is given.

description: This is the first of a series of papers which are devoted to a comprehensive theory of maps between orbifolds. In this paper, we define the maps in the more general context of orbispaces, and establish several basic results concerning the topological structure of the space of such maps. In particular, we show that the space of such maps of C^r-class between smooth orbifolds has a natural Banach orbifold structure if the domain of the map is compact, generalizing the corresponding result in the manifold case. Motivations and applications of the theory come from string theory and the theory of pseudoholomorphic curves in symplectic orbifolds.

On Model-Free Re-ranking for Visual Place Recognition with Deep Learned Local Features

description: Re-ranking is the second stage of a visual place recognition task, in which the system chooses the best-matching images from a pre-selected subset of candidates. Model-free approaches compute the image pair similarity based on a spatial comparison of corresponding local visual features, eliminating the need for computationally expensive estimation of a model describing transformation between images. The article focuses on model-free re-ranking based on standard local visual features and their applicability in long-term autonomy systems. It introduces three new model-free re-ranking methods that were designed primarily for deep-learned local visual features. These features evince high robustness to various appearance changes, which stands as a crucial property for use with long-term autonomy systems. All the introduced methods were employed in a new visual place recognition system together with the D2-net feature detector (Dusmanu, 2019) and experimentally tested with diverse, challenging public datasets. The obtained results are on par with current state-of-the-art methods, affirming that model-free approaches are a viable and worthwhile path for long-term visual place recognition.

description: Classical results and recent developments on the theoretical description of elementary particles with "continuous" spin are reviewed. At free level, these fields are described by unitary irreducible representations of the isometry group (either Poincaré or anti de Sitter group) with an infinite number of physical degrees of freedom per spacetime point. Their basic group-theoretical and field-theoretical descriptions are reviewed in some details. We mention a list of open issues which are crucial to address for assessing their physical status and potential relevance.

description: Due to its low threshold for participation and user-driven nature, Reddit is one of the most popular platforms for democratic debates. Therefore, understanding these large-scale and dynamic deliberations require thoughtful investigations. We interviewed twelve participants to understand the debate culture, their interactions with the Reddit interface, perceived affordances, and design suggestions for improving the debate experience. Our findings revealed some characteristics of Reddit debate culture, including the impact of good and bad faith deliberations, misinformation motivating participation, and anonymity leading to low-stake debate environments. We also found that heated exchanges might lead to harmful behaviors due to the “disinhibited” online environment, and providing clear reasonings for one’s arguments led to critical but civil debates. Users reflected on their encounters with cognitive biases while engaging in debates on Reddit. Based on the findings, we present design implications for enabling civil and constructive debates online, including reducing cognitive load with an adaptive interface, encouraging critical engagement and introspections, empowering the community to moderate content, and introducing signifiers for positive social norms.

description: Η εργασία αυτή παρουσιάζει τη μελέτη και μεθοδολογία συντήρησης ενός υφασμάτινου φιτιλιού, από θερμαντικό σώμα κηροζίνης (GREYDAHA_M_038), το οποίο ανήκει στη συλλογή του Μουσείου του Φράγματος του Μαραθώνα της ΕΥΔΑΠ. Το αντικείμενο χρονολογείται περίπου το 1920 - 1930, κατά τη διάρκεια της κατασκευής του φράγματος του Μαραθώνα. Πρόκειται για ένα φιτίλι κυκλικού σχήματος που εφαρμόζεται στη δεξαμενή του σώματος με τη βοήθεια μεταλλικού φορέα, και τα τέσσερα κομμάτια στο κάτω μέρος εμβαπτίζονται μέσα στο υγρό καύσιμο. Η συντήρησή και διατήρησή του παρουσιάζει ιδιαίτερο ενδιαφέρον αν λάβουμε υπόψη μας την καλή κατάσταση διατήρησης, που είχε, αναλογικά με τη φύση του. Κατά τη διάρκεια της πτυχιακής ταυτοποιήθηκαν οι λεκέδες, που φέρει με αναλυτικές τεχνικές (SEM - EDX , FTIR, XRD), προκειμένου να διερευνηθεί τόσο η αναγκαιότητα αφαίρεσής τους προς όφελος της διατήρησης και προστασίας του αντικειμένου, όσο και η διατήρηση ορισμένων ως αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της ιστορίας του. Σχετικά με την αφαίρεση των λεκέδων από προϊόντα διάβρωσης μετάλλου διερευνήθηκε η αποτελεσματικότητα τοπικού καθαρισμού με την εφαρμογή δύο χηλικών αντιδραστηρίων (δινάτριο άλας αιθυλενο-διαμινο-τετραοξικού οξέος (2ΝaEDTA) και κιτρικό τριαμμώνιο (TAC)) σε συνδυασμό με δύο γέλες (άγαρ-άγαρ και gellan gum). Η γέλη άγαρ-άγαρ εφαρμόστηκε ως άκαμπτη μορφή και σε ημίρρευστη κατάσταση. Η αποτελεσματικότητα των δοκιμών καθαρισμού αξιολογήθηκε από τις μετρήσεις της χρωματομετρίας. Πιο αποτελεσματικός καθαρισμός πραγματοποιήθηκε με την εφαρμογή ΕDTA με άγαρ-άγαρ σε ημίρρευστη κατάσταση.

description: By studying symmetric mass textures for the up and down quark sectors, and expanding in a small parameter $λ\sim sinθ_C$, bounds are set on entries commonly assumed to vanish. Consequences of a 2 + 1 family structure which can result from horizontal symmetry are examined. Generalizing to squarks, we study suppression of Flavor Changing Neutral Currents by mass degeneracy and/or small mixing angles.
