description: The recent proliferation of new artisanal cafes in the historic port city of George Town, Malaysia – recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage city since 2008 – is being negotiated amidst the long-standing popularity of traditional coffee houses (kopitiams) and international coffee chains like Starbucks Coffee. The consumption habits of coffee house-goers of George Town involve dynamic processes where spatial experiences frame and develop new forms of urban sociality. New forms of coffee consumption in George Town, in turn, have prompted a change in cultural perceptions of the city and to the landscape of eateries in the city.

description: The behaviour of the relative fraction of galaxies with different spectral types in groups is analysed as a function of projected local galaxy density and the group-centric distance. The group sample was taken from the 2dF Group Galaxy Calatogue constructed by Merchán & Zandivarez. Our group sample was constrained to have a homogeneous virial mass distribution with redshift. Galaxies belonging to this group sample were selected in order to minimize possible biases such as preferential selection of high luminosity objects. We find a clear distinction between high virial mass groups ($M_V\gsim 10^{13.5} M_{\odot}$) and the less massive ones. While the massive groups show a significant dependence of the relative fraction of low star formation galaxies on local galaxy density and group-centric radius,groups with lower masses show no significant trends. We also cross-correlate our group subsample with the previously identified clusters finding that this sample shows a very similar behaviour as observed in the high virial mass group subsample.

The role of environment on the star formation quenching of satellite galaxies
Creators: name: Cortese, Luca
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: One of the key open questions in extragalactic astronomy is what stops star formation in galaxies. At least for satellite galaxies, it is accepted that environment should play an important role. In clusters, we see examples of cold gas being removed from the infalling star-forming disks, but whether stripping is widespread, or quenching is just a consequence of the inability of these galaxies to replenish their cold gas reservoirs, remains unclear. Moreover, whether quenching is accompanied by structural transformation is still a matter of debate. In this talk, I will discuss the current status of environmental studies of satellites in the local Universe, focusing on the evidence for a physical link between stripping and quenching of the star formation, and on the connection between quenching and morphological transformation. I will show how the combination of HI, CO and optical spectroscopic surveys is finally providing us with a coherent picture for the evolution of satellites at z~0.

description: We use X-ray observations of three galaxies hosting LINERs (NGC 404, NGC 4736, NGC 4579) with Chandra to study their power sources. We find very diverse properties within this small group: NGC 404 has an X-ray-faint nucleus with a soft, thermal spectrum, NGC 4736 harbors a plethora of discrete X-ray sources in and around its nucleus, and NGC 4579 has a dominant nuclear point source embedded in a very extended, diffuse nebulosity. From their multi- wavelength properties we conclude the following: the nucleus of NGC 404 is the site of a weak, compact starburst, whose X-ray emission is due to gas heated by stellar winds and supernovae, NGC 4736 is in a recent or aging starburst phase, where the X-ray emission is dominated by a dense cluster of X-ray binaries, and NGC 4579 is powered by accretion onto a supermassive black hole. We detect 39 discrete sources in NGC 4736 and 21 in NGC 4579, most with L_X > 10^37 erg/s. One source in the disk of NGC 4579 could be an ultraluminous X-ray binary with L_X (2-10 keV) = 9x10^39 erg/s, but it could also be a background quasar. The most luminous discrete sources have simple power-law spectra, which along with their luminosities suggest that these are X-ray binaries accreting near or above the Eddington rate for a neutron star. By comparing the luminosity functions of discrete X-ray sources in these and other galaxies we find a potential connection between the age of the stellar population and the slope of the cumulative X-ray source luminosity function: galaxies with primarily old stellar populations have steeper luminosity functions than starburst galaxies. We suggest that this difference results from the contribution of high-mass X-ray binaries from the young stellar population to the upper end of the luminosity function.

description: Neutron star mergers are the canonical multimessenger events: they have been observed through photons for half a century, gravitational waves since 2017, and are likely to be sources of neutrinos and cosmic rays. Studies of these events enable unique insights into astrophysics, particles in the ultrarelativistic regime, the heavy element enrichment history through cosmic time, cosmology, dense matter, and fundamental physics. Uncovering this science requires vast observational resources, unparalleled coordination, and advancements in theory and simulation, which are constrained by our current understanding of nuclear, atomic, and astroparticle physics. This review begins with a summary of our current knowledge of these events, the expected observational signatures, and estimated detection rates for the next decade. I then present the key observations necessary to advance our understanding of these sources, followed by the broad science this enables. I close with a discussion on the necessary future capabilities to fully utilize these enigmatic sources to understand our universe.

description: Using deep near-IR and optical observations of the HDF-N from the HST NICMOS and WFPC2 and from the ground, we examine the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of Lyman break galaxies (LBGs) at 2.0 < z < 3.5. The UV-to-optical rest-frame SEDs of the galaxies are much bluer than those of present-day spiral and elliptical galaxies, and are generally similar to those of local starburst galaxies with modest amounts of reddening. We use stellar population synthesis models to study the properties of the stars that dominate the light from LBGs. Under the assumption that the star-formation rate is continuous or decreasing with time, the best-fitting models provide a lower bound on the LBG mass estimates. LBGs with ``L*'' UV luminosities are estimated to have minimum stellar masses ~ 10^10 solar masses, or roughly 1/10th that of a present-day L* galaxy. By considering the effects of a second component of maximally-old stars, we set an upper bound on the stellar masses that is ~ 3-8 times the minimum estimate. We find only loose constraints on the individual galaxy ages, extinction, metallicities, initial mass functions, and prior star-formation histories. We find no galaxies whose SEDs are consistent with young (< 10^8 yr), dust-free objects, which suggests that LBGs are not dominated by ``first generation'' stars, and that such objects are rare at these redshifts. We also find that the typical ages for the observed star-formation events are significantly younger than the time interval covered by this redshift range (~ 1.5 Gyr). From this, and from the relative absence of candidates for quiescent, non-star-forming galaxies at these redshifts in the NICMOS data, we suggest that star formation in LBGs may be recurrent, with short duty cycles and a timescale between star-formation events of < 1 Gyr.

description: We propose a random matrix theory for QCD in three dimensions with a Chern-Simons term at level $k$ which spontaneously breaks the flavor symmetry according to U($2N_{\rm f}$) $\to $ U($N_{\rm f}+k$)$\times$U($N_{\rm f}-k$). This random matrix model is obtained by adding a complex part to the action for the $k=0$ random matrix model. We derive the pattern of spontaneous symmetry breaking from the analytical solution of the model. Additionally, we obtain explicit analytical results for the spectral density and the spectral correlation functions for the Dirac operator at finite matrix dimension, that become complex. In the microscopic domain where the matrix size tends to infinity, they are expected to be universal, and give an exact analytical prediction to the spectral properties of the Dirac operator in the presence of a Chern-Simons term. Here, we calculate the microscopic spectral density. It shows exponentially large (complex) oscillations which cancel the phase of the $k=0$ theory.

description: We are developing a Wide-Field Imaging Interferometry Testbed (WIIT) in support of design studies for NASA's future space interferometry missions, in particular the SPIRIT and SPECS far-infrared/submillimeter interferometers. WIIT operates at optical wavelengths and uses Michelson beam combination to achieve both wide-field imaging and high-resolution spectroscopy. It will be used chiefly to test the feasibility of using a large-format detector array at the image plane of the sky to obtain wide-field interferometry images through mosaicing techniques. In this setup each detector pixel records interferograms corresponding to averaging a particular pointing range on the sky as the optical path length is scanned and as the baseline separation and orientation is varied. The final image is constructed through spatial and spectral Fourier transforms of the recorded interferograms for each pixel, followed by a mosaic/joint-deconvolution procedure of all the pixels. In this manner the image within the pointing range of each detector pixel is further resolved to an angular resolution corresponding to the maximum baseline separation for fringe measurements. We present the motivation for building the testbed, show the optical, mechanical, control, and data system design, and describe the image processing requirements and algorithms. WIIT is presently under construction at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.

description: Phosphorus (P) recycling from sewage sludge for agricultural needs has to meet requirements for agricultural implementation, such as short and long-term P-plant-availability under field conditions. Field experiments often bring no evaluable results, because agricultural soils got a high potential of P-supply even if they are classified as low in P-supply according to the CAL extraction method. The present study presents a possible way to investigate the P-plant-availability of P-recycling-fertilizers under field-like conditions. The plant experiments are firstly performed in small Mitscherlich pots in growth chambers and subsequently in containers with a high soil volume of 170 kg under greenhouse conditions, in which plants can grow until ripening. The tested P-recycling-fertilizers were produced from sewage sludge in a large-scale thermal process. It was a two-step treatment process performed with a pyrolysis of sewage sludge at 550°C (SSC-550) and a subsequent thermochemical post-treatment at 950°C with Na2SO4 (SSA-Na) and HCl + Na2SO4 (SSA-HCl/Na) as additives. The results show, that the P-recycling-products from pyrolysis got an adequate long-term but a 65% lower short-term P-plant-availability compared to triple-superphosphate. SSA-Na and SSA-HCl/Na show both a high short and long-term P-plant-availability comparable to triple-superphosphate. This can be explained by their highly plant-available P-compound CaNaPO4.

description: This document describes the Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication plan (DEC) for CRM-geothermal and provides guidelines for both internal and external communication.

The overall aim of this document is to define communication and dissemination objectives, target audiences, core messages, and key performance indicators to ensure consistency of the outreach activities and maximise impact during and after the project’s funding period.

The external communication plan (communication and dissemination) will use a synergetic combination of several channels and tools: a project web site linked with existing high traffic social media channels; regular press releases, webinars and other external event opportunities; online social networking and publications in a range of media outlets and papers including peer-reviewed and non-specialist publications. The overview of the planned communication and dissemination activities provides a concise description of actions designed to mobilise key stakeholders, informing them about the project objectives and expected results.

The plan also serves as a basis to define the main groups of stakeholders and their respective needs in a stakeholder matrix.

The exploitation plan details the measures which will be taken to facilitate the uptake of the project’s results after the end of the funding period. 

The internal communication plan defines responsibilities among project partners and describes communication channels and monitoring instruments.

According to the Description of the Action (DoA) of CRM-geothermal, the content and the corresponding implementation will be monitored, updated and adapted to changing conditions during the project lifetime, and hence it will operate as a live evolving document. After its initial submission in October 2022, the document has been updated in April 2024. This corresponds to the start of the second stage of the communication and dissemination strategy as first results start to become available. Another update is foreseen for project month 36.

Among concurrents that owen raspberry place at Europe market are: Chile, Hungary and Poland. These producers, beside frozen raspberry offer also a fresh raspberry in the corresponding packaging, in order to extend shelf life and marketing. According to EU market data fresh raspberry in conform packaging achieve up to 15 EUR fore one kilo. In that case it should consider that except proper packaging and cooling each other treatment and storage is not necessary, in comparison with frozen raspberry export, it can multipi income. In these paper system of packaging is elaborated, type of packaging material and gas mixture in package wherein fresh and cool raspberry export, or MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging). By using MAP for raspberry, control growth of Botrytis, removing of ethylene, in combination with low temperature in distribution, shelf life of fresh raspberry can bee extended from 2 to 3 time, in a comparison with standard storage conditions of fresh raspberry in warehouse.

description: Knowledge Distillation (KD) aims to distill the knowledge of a cumbersome teacher model into a lightweight student model. Its success is generally attributed to the privileged information on similarities among categories provided by the teacher model, and in this sense, only strong teacher models are deployed to teach weaker students in practice. In this work, we challenge this common belief by following experimental observations: 1) beyond the acknowledgment that the teacher can improve the student, the student can also enhance the teacher significantly by reversing the KD procedure; 2) a poorly-trained teacher with much lower accuracy than the student can still improve the latter significantly. To explain these observations, we provide a theoretical analysis of the relationships between KD and label smoothing regularization. We prove that 1) KD is a type of learned label smoothing regularization and 2) label smoothing regularization provides a virtual teacher model for KD. From these results, we argue that the success of KD is not fully due to the similarity information between categories from teachers, but also to the regularization of soft targets, which is equally or even more important. Based on these analyses, we further propose a novel Teacher-free Knowledge Distillation (Tf-KD) framework, where a student model learns from itself or manuallydesigned regularization distribution. The Tf-KD achieves comparable performance with normal KD from a superior teacher, which is well applied when a stronger teacher model is unavailable. Meanwhile, Tf-KD is generic and can be directly deployed for training deep neural networks. Without any extra computation cost, Tf-KD achieves up to 0.65\% improvement on ImageNet over well-established baseline models, which is superior to label smoothing regularization.

description: Although quantum physics is well understood in inertial reference frames (flat spacetime), a current challenge is the search for experimental evidence of non-trivial or unexpected behaviour of quantum systems in non-inertial frames. Here, we present a novel test of quantum mechanics in a non-inertial reference frame: we consider Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference on a rotating platform and study the effect of uniform rotation on the distinguishability of the photons. Both theory and experiments show that the rotational motion induces a relative delay in the photon arrival times at the exit beamsplitter and that this delay is observed as a shift in the position of the HOM dip. This experiment can be extended to a full general relativistic test of quantum physics using satellites in Earth orbit and indicates a new route towards the use of photonic technologies for investigating quantum mechanics at the interface with relativity.
Collective modes in unconventional density waves

description: We have investigated the collective modes of unconventional charge and spin density waves (UCDW, USDW) in quasi-one dimensional systems in random phase approximation. The density correlator regains its normal state form due to the phase degree of freedom of the condensate. The possible effect of impurities is also discussed. From this, the current-current correlation function is evaluated through charge conservation. The spin susceptibility of USDW remains anisotropic an spite of the lack of any periodic modulation of the spin density. In UCDW, the spin response gets weaker in all three directions as the temperature is lowered.

description: We provide sufficient conditions for mathematically rigorous proofs of the third order universal laws capturing the energy flux to large scales and enstrophy flux to small scales for statistically stationary, forced-dissipated 2d Navier-Stokes equations in the large-box limit. These laws should be regarded as 2d turbulence analogues of the $4/5$ law in 3d turbulence, predicting a constant flux of energy and enstrophy (respectively) through the two inertial ranges in the dual cascade of 2d turbulence. Conditions implying only one of the two cascades are also obtained, as well as compactness criteria which show that the provided sufficient conditions are not far from being necessary. The specific goal of the work is to provide the weakest characterizations of the '0-th laws' of 2d turbulence in order to make mathematically rigorous predictions consistent with experimental evidence.

description: This document describes the Dissemination, Exploitation and Communication plan (DEC) for CRM-geothermal and provides guidelines for both internal and external communication. The overall aim of this document is to define communication and dissemination objectives, target audiences, core messages, and key performance indicators to ensure consistency of the outreach activities and maximise impact during and after the project’s funding period. The external communication plan (communication and dissemination) will use a synergetic combination of several channels and tools: a project web site linked with existing high traffic social media channels; regular press releases, webinars and other external event opportunities; online social networking and publications in a range of media outlets and papers including peer-reviewed and non-specialist publications. The overview of the planned communication and dissemination activities provides a concise description of actions designed to mobilise key stakeholders, informing them about the project objectives and expected results. The plan also serves as a basis to define the main groups of stakeholders and their respective needs in a stakeholder matrix. The exploitation plan details the measures which will be taken to facilitate the uptake of the project’s results after the end of the funding period. The internal communication plan defines responsibilities among project partners and describes communication channels and monitoring instruments. According to the Description of the Action (DoA) of CRM-geothermal, the content and the corresponding implementation will be monitored, updated and adapted to changing conditions during the project lifetime, and hence it will operate as a live evolving document. At least two updates are scheduled for project months 24 and 36.

description: We present two low resolution (R~1300) high signal-to-noise spectra (Wr,lim~50mA) of the quasar CSO 118 (zem=2.97) taken with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope Marcario Low Resolution Spectrograph. We detect eight absorbers selected by the CIV 1548,1550 absorption doublet in the redshift range {2.23 < zabs < 2.97}, seven of which are zabs > 2.68. In the redshift range covered by the seven zabs > 2.68 systems, one expects to find two absorbers. We discuss possible explanations for such an excess of absorbers in a small velocity range. Only superclustering at high redshift and absorption due to intrinsic gas are feasibly allowed.

description: Background: The course of newly diagnosed dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) varies from persistent reduction of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to recovery or even worsening. The aim of the present study was to examine the prognostic value of selected biomarkers with regard to changes in LVEF. Methods: Main inclusion criterion was LVEF ≤45% with exclusion of coronary artery or valvular heart disease. The primary endpoint was LVEF ≤35% in the follow-up echocardiogram. Galectin-3, N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were related to the endpoint. Results: Data from 80 DCM patients (55 male, mean age 53 years) were analyzed. Median LVEF was 25% (IQR 25–30). The endpoint was met for 24 patients (30%). These had higher baseline levels of galectin-3 (median 20.3 ng/mL [IQR 14.3–26.9] vs. 14.7 ng/mL [IQR 10.9–17.7], p = 0.007) and NT-proBNP (3089 pg/mL [IQR 1731–6694] vs. 1498 pg/mL [IQR 775–3890]; p = 0.004) in univariate Cox regression analysis. ROC analysis revealed that CRP (median 0.4 mg/dL [IQR 0.2–1.2]) was also related to the endpoint (p = 0.043). Conclusion: Higher levels of galectin-3, NT-proBNP, and CRP were associated with LVEF ≤35% in our cohort. An approach utilizing a combination of biomarkers for patient management should be assessed in further studies.
X-ray Timing of the Enigmatic Neutron Star RX J0720.4-3125

description: RX J0720.4-3125 is the third brightest neutron star in the soft X-ray sky and has been a source of mystery since its discovery, as its long 8-s period separates it from the population of typical radio pulsars. Three models were proposed for this source: a neutron star accreting from the interstellar medium, an off-beam radio pulsar, or an old, cooling magnetar. Using data from Chandra, ROSAT, and BeppoSAX we are able to place an upper limit to the period derivative, $|\dot{P}| < 3.6\times10^{-13}{s s}^{-1}$ (3-$σ$). While our upper limit on $\dot P$ allows for the accretion model, this model is increasingly untenable for another similar but better studied neutron star, RX J1856.5-3754, and we therefore consider the accretion model unlikely for RX J0720.4-3125. We constrain the initial magnetic field of RX J0720.4-3125 to be $\lsim 10^{14}$ G based on cooling models, suggesting that it is not and never was a magnetar, but is instead middle-aged neutron star. We propose that it is either a long-period high-magnetic field pulsar with $\dot P\sim 10^{-13}{s s}^{-1}$ similar to PSR J1814-1744, or a neutron star born with an initial period of $\approx 8.3$ s and $\dot P\sim 10^{-15}{s s}^{-1}$. The proximity of RX J0720.4-3125 is strongly suggestive of a large population of such objects; if so, radio pulsar surveys must have missed many of these sources.

Mapping the Policy Environment on Primary STEM Education

Subjects: subject: 160506 Education Policy
subject: FOS: Political science

description: The Government of Australia STEM policies leading to school-based implementation have been studied. The purpose has been to understand the Government’s policy design and quality in leading to implementation. Recently, Government Primary STEM Education policy dimensions, for example, the action of requiring pre-service primary teacher specialisation with a priority in STEM, have been administered with sparse academic research, and projects limited by funds and duration. Further, such policy has been unframed or not comprehensively documented, leading to policies in tension rather than harmony for implementation nation-wide. To frame and show policy quality, this study used an exploratory and integrative methodology to collect and analyse Government policy documents and an in-depth interview relying on four coding methods: word, line, axial, and thematic to form a Conceptual Framework.
Theory and limits of on-demand single photon sources using plasmonic resonators: a quantized quasinormal mode approach

description: Quantum emitters coupled to plasmonic resonators are known to allow enhanced broadband Purcell factors, and such systems have been recently suggested as possible candidates for on-demand single photon sources, with fast operation speeds. However, a true single photon source has strict requirements of high efficiency (brightness) and quantum indistinguishability of the emitted photons, which can be quantified through two-photon interference experiments. To help address this problem, we employ and extend a recently developed quantized quasinormal mode approach, which rigorously quantizes arbitrarily lossy open system modes, to compute the key parameters that accurately quantify the figures of merit for plasmon-based single photon sources. We also present a quantized input-output theory to quantify the radiative and nonradiative quantum efficiencies. We exemplify the theory using a nanoplasmonic dimer resonator made up of two gold nanorods, which yields large Purcell factors and good radiative output beta factors. Considering an optically pulsed excitation scheme, we explore the key roles of pulse duration and pure dephasing on the single photon properties, and show that ultrashort pulses (sub-ps) are generally required for such structures, even for low temperature operation. We also quantify the role of the nonradiative beta factor both for single photon and two-photon emission processes. Our general approach can be applied to a wide variety of plasmon systems, including metal-dielectrics, and cavity-waveguide systems, without recourse to phenomenological quantization schemes.
Noise-robust exploration of many-body quantum states on near-term quantum devices

description: We describe a resource-efficient approach to studying many-body quantum states on noisy, intermediate-scale quantum devices. We employ a sequential generation model that allows us to bound the range of correlations in the resulting many-body quantum states. From this, we characterize situations where the estimation of local observables does not require the preparation of the entire state. Instead smaller patches of the state can be generated from which the observables can be estimated. This can potentially reduce circuit size and number of qubits for the computation of physical properties of the states. Moreover, we show that the effect of noise decreases along the computation. Our results apply to a broad class of widely studied tensor network states and can be directly applied to near-term implementations of variational quantum algorithms.
