The Perpetual Diamond : Contrast Reversals Along Thin Edges Create the Appearance of Motion in Objects : contrast reversals along thing edges create the appearance of motion in objects
Creators: name: Flynn, Oliver J.
name: Shapiro, Arthur
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The Perpetual Diamond produces motion continuously and unambiguously in one direction despite never physically changing location. The phenomenon consists of a steady, mid-luminance diamond bordered by four thin edge strips and a surrounding background field. The direction of motion is determined by the relative phases of the luminance modulation between the edge strips and the background. Because the motion is generated entirely by changing contrast signals between the edge strips and background, the stimulus is a valuable tool for tests of spatial contrast, temporal contrast, contrast gain, and color contrast. We demonstrate that observers see motion even when the edge strips subtend only seconds of arc on the retina (which is less than the frequently reported 10 minutes of arc) and that perceived motion is due entirely to changes in the difference in contrast phase modulation, independent from the luminance phase.

Cooper~ tlvcs 1~ less developed_ ~rcas of South Afnca have not, with a few exceptions, been successful in fostering agricultural development and 1mproV1ng the level of hVJng of the rural poor. The paper provides some explanations for the failure of co-operatives to achieve these goals. The_se inc!ude: la~k of mcmbcrship:s identity with co-operatives; lack of understanding on the part of members of the co-operative w~y of domg thm~; failure of_ co-operatives !o c~m~t_c with other b~sincsses; inability of members to dismiss inefficient management; failure o_f co-operatives to pr?VJde transportation; mab1hty of co-operatives to keep adequate stocks of requisites; insufficient credit; and the subsistence nature of agnculturc. The study concludes with proposals to improve the performance of agricultural co-operatives in less developed areas of South Africa.

description: A series of biotin-functionalized transition metal complexes was prepared by iClick reaction from the corresponding azido complexes with a novel alkyne-functionalized biotin derivative ([Au(triazolatoR,R')(PPh3)], [Pt(dpb)(triazolatoR,R')], [Pt(triazolatoR,R')(terpy)]PF6, and [Ir(ppy)(triazolatoR,R')(terpy)]PF6 with dpb = 1,3-di(2-pyridyl)benzene, ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, and terpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and R = C6H5, R' = biotin). The complexes were compared to reference compounds lacking the biotin moiety. The binding affinity toward avidin and streptavidin was evaluated with the HABA assay as well as isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). All compounds exhibit the same binding stoichiometry of complex-to-avidin of 4:1, but the ITC results show that the octahedral Ir(III) compound exhibits a higher binding affinity than the square-planar Pt(II) complex. The antibacterial activity of the compounds was evaluated on a series of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacterial strains. In particular, the neutral Au(I) and Pt(II) complexes showed significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus faecium at very low micromolar concentrations. The cytotoxicity against a range of eukaryotic cell lines was studied and revealed that the octahedral Ir(III) complex was non-toxic, while the square-planar Pt(II) and linear Au(I) complexes displayed non-selective micromolar activity.

description: Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is vulnerable to malware due to its exposure to external adversaries, making it a lucrative attack vector for malicious actors. A datacenter infected with malware can cause data loss and/or major disruptions to service for its users. This paper analyzes and compares various Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for online detection of malware in cloud IaaS. The detection is performed based on behavioural data using process level performance metrics including cpu usage, memory usage, disk usage etc. We have used the state of the art DenseNets and ResNets in effectively detecting malware in online cloud system. CNN are designed to extract features from data gathered from a live malware running on a real cloud environment. Experiments are performed on OpenStack (a cloud IaaS software) testbed designed to replicate a typical 3-tier web architecture. Comparative analysis is performed for different metrics for different CNN models used in this research.

Political shades of 'we' : sociotropic uncertainty and multiple political identification in Europe
Creators: name: Steenvoorden, Eefje H.

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Identity complexity in the sense of people holding multiple, concurrent affiliations, is taken for granted in modern societies. Yet we know very little about what factors stimulate or instead mitigate identification with multiple political communities. It is usually assumed to go hand-in-hand with globalization and other macro-level trends, but empirical research on this issue is scarce. In this article, we examine how sociotropic uncertainty mitigates multiple political identification. We investigate multiple identification with respect to three political communities: the city, the country and the EU. We show, using Eurobarometer data from 25 EU countries, that political distrust, negative economic expectations and societal pessimism all lead individuals to identify with less political communities concurrently. The implication is that the kinds of multiple, cross-cutting identities often invoked by theorists of globalization are hindered by uncertainty and pessimism about the enterprise.

description: Spin relaxation due to the D'yakonov-Perel' mechanism is intimately related with the spin splitting of the electronic states. We determine the spin relaxation rates from anisotropic spin splittings of electron subbands in n-(001) zinc-blende semiconductor quantum structures calculated self-consistently in the multi-band envelope function approach. The giant anisotropy of spin relaxation rates found for different spin-components in the (001) plane can be ascribed to the interplay between the bulk and quantum well inversion asymmetry. One of the in-plane relaxation rates may exhibit a striking nonmonotonous dependence on the carrier density.

To this end, we propose a novel framework that combines accurate localization and robust identification of specific keypoints in the image by using a fully convolutional deep architecture. Our algorithm exploits both the field lines and the players' image locations, assuming their ground plane positions to be given, to achieve accuracy and robustness that is beyond the current state of the art. We will demonstrate its effectiveness on challenging soccer, basketball, and volleyball benchmark datasets.

Inhibition of HGF/MET signaling decreases overall tumor burden and blocks malignant conversion in Tpl2-related skin cancer

description: Tumor progression locus 2 (Tpl2) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) family of serine/threonine kinases. Deletion of the Tpl2 gene is associated with a significantly higher number of papillomas and cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (cSCCs). Overexpression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its receptor MET is abundant in cSCC and can lead to increased proliferation, migration, invasion or resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The aim of this study was to address whether the increased tumor burden in Tpl2 (-/-) mice is due to aberrant HGF/MET signaling. C57Bl/6 wild type (WT) and Tpl2 (-/-) mice were subjected to a two-stage chemical carcinogenesis protocol for one year. At the time of promotion half of the mice received 44 mg/kg capmatinib (INC 280), a pharmacological inihibitor of MET, in their diet. Tpl2 (-/-) mice had signficantly higher tumor incidence and overall tumor burden compared to WT mice. Further, carcinogen-intiated Tpl2 (-/-) mice could bypass the need for promotion, as 89% of Tpl2 (-/-) mice given only DMBA developed papillomas. v-ras(Ha) -transduced keratinocytes and SCCs from Tpl2 (-/-) mice revealed an upregulation in HGF and p-MET signaling compared to WT animals. Long-term capmatinib treatment had no adverse effects in mice and capmatinib-fed Tpl2 (-/-) mice had a 60% reduction in overall tumor burden. Further, no tumors from Tpl2 (-/-) mice fed capmatinib underwent malignant conversion. In summary targeting MET may be a potential new strategy to combat cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas that result from dysregulation in MAPK signaling.
Constraining parton energy loss via angular and momentum based differential jet measurements at STAR

description: Parton energy loss has been established as an essential signature of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in heavy ion collisions since the earliest measurements at RHIC indicating suppression of hadron spectra at high $p_{\rm{T}}$ and coincidence yields. Understanding this phenomenon of jet quenching is a requirement for extracting the microscopic properties of the QGP via jet-tomography. STAR has recently introduced a technique called Jet Geometry Engineering (JGE) wherein we enforce particular selection criteria imposed on the jet collection, such as recoiling off a high $p_{\rm{T}}$ hadron trigger along with an additional transverse momentum threshold for jet constituents in events with back-to-back di-jets. With JGE, we are able to control the extent of energy loss ranging from quenched/imbalanced to recovered/balanced di-jets. Since jet quenching is also expected to be dependent on the resolution/transverse-length scales with which the jet probes the medium, it is necessary to perform differential measurements with a handle on both momentum and angular scales. To quantify the angular scale within jets, we present the first measurement of the jet's inherent angular structure in Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\mathrm{NN}}} = $ 200 GeV via the opening angle between the two leading sub-jets ($θ_{\rm{SJ}}$). We also measure the di-jet asymmetry $A_{\rm{J}}$ differentially as a function of the $θ_{\rm{SJ}}$ observable for these di-jets and find no significant dependence of the energy loss on the opening angle of the recoil jet.

description: The testing effect refers to the finding that retrieving previously encoded material typically improves subsequent recall performance more on a later test than does restudying that material. Storm et al. (2014) demonstrated, however, that when feedback is provided on such a later test the testing advantage then turns to a restudying advantage on subsequent tests. The goal of the present research was to examine whether there is a similar consequence of feedback when the difficulty of initial retrieval practice is modulated. Replicating prior research, we found that on an initial delayed test, recall of to-be-learned items was better following difficult than easy practice. Critically, however, providing immediate feedback on an initial delayed test reversed this pattern. Our findings are consistent with a distribution-based interpretation of how feedback at test modifies recall performance.

Out of the Shadows: Revealing the Far-Reaching Impact of Dutch Dairy Production

description: Abstract

The impact of Dutch dairy farming extends far beyond the Dutch borders. The vast majority of dairy fodder is produced elsewhere, with impacts in places that consumers do not know about. These are the ‘shadow places’ of Dutch dairy production. Although previous research has studied the overall environmental impacts of dairy, a localized understanding of the impacts related to fodder is lacking. This study examines the extent to which Dutch dairy farming is coupled to distant environments through fodder.

Through a combination of telecoupling and life cycle assessment, this study quantifies and localises environmental impacts in terms of eutrophication, ecotoxicity, land-, and water use. It shows that on average 60% of the impacts of a cow’s diet are localised in the shadow places. This study maps these impacts, revealing a complex web of 28 interconnected environments that constitute ‘Dutch’ dairy production. The findings show the ease with which this web changes, highlighting just how dynamic and interdependent dairy production is. It shows that local effects are the result of globally connected cause-effect relationships which cannot be studied in isolation.

This study underscores the reach of the effects of dairy farming in the Netherlands. It argues to use this as an advantage and discusses four mitigation strategies. Before any of these are implemented it is crucial to generate a deeper understanding of the complex interrelationships of the dairy production system. Only then can dairy’s burden on shadow places be reduced.

description: The origin of intrinsic quantum criticality in the heavy-fermion superconductor $β$-YbAlB$_4$ has been attributed to strong Yb valence fluctuations and its peculiar crystal structure. Here, we assess these contributions individually by studying the isostructural but fixed-valence compound $β$-LuAlB$_4$. Quantum oscillation measurements and DFT calculations reveal a Fermi surface markedly different from that of $β$-YbAlB$_4$, consistent with a `large' Fermi surface there. We also find an unexpected in-plane anisotropy of the electronic structure, in contrast to the isotropic Kondo hybridization in $β$-YbAlB$_4$.

description: A variety of oscillations are observed in pancreatic islets.We establish a model, incorporating two oscillatory systems of different time scales: One is the well-known bursting model in pancreatic beta-cells and the other is the glucose-insulin feedback model which considers direct and indirect feedback of secreted insulin. These two are coupled to interact with each other in the combined model, and two basic assumptions are made on the basis of biological observations: The conductance g_{K(ATP)} for the ATP-dependent potassium current is a decreasing function of the glucose concentration whereas the insulin secretion rate is given by a function of the intracellular calcium concentration. Obtained via extensive numerical simulations are complex oscillations including clusters of bursts, slow and fast calcium oscillations, and so on. We also consider how the intracellular glucose concentration depends upon the extracellular glucose concentration, and examine the inhibitory effects of insulin.

Subjects: subject: 120107 Landscape Architecture

description: As flora is a significant part of the urban street system, careful consideration and attention should be given to tree species selection and plantation on an urban pedestrian walkway. This paper aims at analyzing the physical attributes of trees that grow naturally in Rajshahi and provides a basis for selecting suitable tree species for street planting in the Central Business District (CBD) of Rajshahi. Analytical method is used for selecting tree species by applying social factors of Miller’s tree species selection model (1997) and street planting guidelines used in San Francisco, USA from an ergonomic and functional point of view as there is no proper regulation for street planting in Rajshahi. A questionnaire survey is also conducted in order to assess the public opinion regarding street trees from an aesthetic point of view. Future considerations for selecting tree species for street planting based on the findings can reduce problems at the neighborhood scale and thus increase the quality of urban life by enhancing the walking environment.

description: Using exact-diagonalization techniques supplemented by a Dyson equation embedding procedure, the transport properties of multilevel quantum dots are investigated in the Kondo regime. The conductance can be decomposed into the contributions of each level. It is shown that these channels can carry a different phase, and destructive interference processes are observed when the phase difference between them is $\pmπ$. This effect is very different from those observed in bulk metals with magnetic impurities, where the phase differences play no significant role. The effect is also different from other recent studies of interference processes in dots, as discussed in the text. In particular, no external magnetic field is here introduced, and the hopping amplitudes dot-leads for all levels are the same. However, conductance cancellations induced by interactions are still observed. Another interesting effect reported here is the formation of localized states that do not participate in the transport. When one of these states crosses the Fermi level, the electronic occupation of the quantum dot changes, modifying the many-body physics of the system and indirectly affecting the transport properties. Novel discontinuities between two finite conductance values can occur as the gate voltage is varied, as discussed here.

description: We explore a disc origin for the highly-blueshifted, variable absorption lines seen in the X-ray spectrum of the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS13224-3809. The blueshift corresponds to a velocity of about 0.25c. Such features in other Active Galactic Nuclei are often interpreted as UltraFast Outflows (UFOs). The velocity is of course present in the orbital motions of the inner disk. The absorption lines in IRAS13224-3809 are best seen when the flux is low and the reflection component of the disk is strong relative to the power-law continuum. The spectra are consistent with a model in which the reflection component passes through a thin, highly-ionized absorbing layer at the surface of the inner disc, the blue-shifted side of which dominates the flux due to relativistic aberration (the disc inclination is about 70 deg). No fast outflow need occur beyond the disc.

THE ROLE OF DESPOTIC LEADERSHIP IN FOSTERING EMPLOYEE QUIET QUITTING IN A DYNAMIC GLOBAL ECONOMY
Creators: name: Kelechi, Emmanuel Okoye
name: Amara, Grace Nduka
Publisher: name: NOLAND JOURNALS
Year: 2024
Subjects: Despotic leadership, employee quiet quitting, cognitive dissonance, organizational behaviour, global changing economy quite thriving.

description: This paper reviewed literature on the relationship between despotic leadership and employee quiet quitting. The objectives of the paper were structured in line with assessing the relationship between despotic leadership dimensions such as authoritative behaviour and self-centeredness and outcomes of employee quiet quitting such as employee lacklustre performance and employee low engagement, The paper identified despotic leadership as tyrannical and as necessitating distrust and tension within the workplace, such that it impact negatively on the employee’s behaviour. The paper also adopted the cognitive dissonance theory as it theoretical framework, utilizing the theory as a base for its argument on the implications of the breach between workers expectations and their realities in the work. The paper discovered that these attitudes affect the performance level of the organization in the global market which affects the economy. From the extant literature reviewed on the variables, It was concluded that despotic leadership creates conditions that weaken the morale of employees, lowers their engagement and further leads to their lacklustre performance in the organization. The paper therefore Recommends that organizations should engage leadership responsibilities to transformational and democratic person who will foster employee quite thriving instant of quitting to encourage rapidly changing economy globally, encourage participative leadership and the sharing of power in the workplace for healthier and more collaborative outcomes between leaders and their subordinates.

description: The role of weakly bound neutral clusters, such as dineutrons and tetraneutrons, in matter of high density and high temperature is discussed. Under such conditions, which are characteristic of core-collapse supernovae, the lifetime of multineutrons may prove to be sufficiently long for them to have a pronounced effect on the formation of the chemical composition. The influence of the multineutron binding energy and other nuclear properties on the magnitude of the effect being considered is examined.

Quantum entanglement, interaction, and the classical limit
Creators: name: Durt, Thomas
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Two or more quantum systems are said to be in an entangled or non-factorisable state if their joint (supposedly pure) wave-function is not expressible as a product of individual wave functions but is instead a superposition of product states. It is only when the systems are in a factorisable state that they can be considered to be separated (in the sense of Bell). We show that whenever two quantum systems interact with each other, it is impossible that all factorisable states remain factorisable during the interaction unless the full Hamiltonian does not couple these systems so to say unless they do not really interact. We also present certain conditions under which particular factorisable states remain factorisable although they represent a bipartite system whose components mutually interact. We identify certain quasi-classical regimes that satisfy these conditions and show that they correspond to classical, pre-quantum, paradigms associated to the concept of particle.
