description: We investigate corner states in a photonic two-dimensional (2D) Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model on a square lattice with zero gauge flux. By considering intracelluar next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) hoppings, we discover a broad class of corner states in the 2D SSH model, and show that they are robust against certain fabrication disorders. Moreover, these corner states are located around the corners, but not at the corner points, so we refer to them as general corner states. We analytically identify that the general corner states are induced by the intracelluar NNN hoppings (long-range interactions) and split off from the edge-state bands. Our work show a simple way to induce unique corner states by the long-range interactions, and offers opportunities for designing novel photonic devices.

description: The mass distribution of galaxy clusters can be determined from the study of the projected phase-space distribution of cluster galaxies. The main advantage of this method as compared to others, is that it allows determination of cluster mass profiles out to very large radii. Here I review recent analyses and results on this topic. In particular, I briefly describe the Jeans and Caustic methods, and the problems one has to face in applying these methods to galaxy systems. Then, I summarize the most recent and important results on the mass distributions of galaxy groups, clusters, and superclusters. Additional covered topics are the relative distributions of the dark and baryonic components, and the orbits of galaxies in clusters.

description: This study focuses on periodic event-triggered (PET) cooperative output regulation problem for a class of nonlinear multi-agent systems. The key feature of PET mechanism is that event-triggered conditions are required to be monitored only periodically. This approach is beneficial for Zeno behavior exclusion and saving of battery energy of onboard sensors. At first, new PET distributed observers are proposed to estimate the leader information. We show that the estimation error converges to zero exponentially with a known convergence rate under asynchronous PET communication. Second, a novel PET output feedback controller is designed for the underlying strict feedback nonlinear multi-agent systems. Based on a state transformation technique and a local PET state observer, the cooperative semi-global output regulation problem can be solved by the proposed new control design technique. Simulation results of multiple Lorenz systems illustrate that the developed control scheme is effective.

Creators: name: Fox, Jonathan
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This chapter asks where migrants fit into the debate over how rural citizens can encourage public accountability, drawing on Hirschman's framework of ‘exit, voice, and loyalty’. Though migrants chose exit, they continue to express loyalty by exercising cross-border voice in their home communities, as well exercising voice by constructing a multi-faceted public sphere. This chapter explores how migrants have forged collective civic, social, and political identities, transcending kinship networks and micro-level transnational communities. A new generation of organized migrants is engaging with both US and Mexican states and societies at the same time, constructing practices of ‘civic binationality’ that challenge nationalist pressures to define their engagements in terms of mutually exclusive nation-states. The empirical discussion compares a range of organizations that emerge from different migrant collective identities, including territorial, religious, worker, and ethnic-based forms of membership.

description: The accretion history of protostars remains widely mysterious even though it represents one of the best ways to understand the protostellar collapse that leads to the formation of stars. Molecular outflows are here used to characterize the protostellar accretion phase in W43-MM1. The W43-MM1 protocluster host a sufficient number of protostars to statistically investigate molecular outflows in a single, homogeneous region. We used the CO(2-1) and SiO(5-4) line datacubes, taken as part of an ALMA mosaic with a 2000 AU resolution, to search for protostellar outflows, evaluate the influence that the environment has on these outflows' characteristics and put constraints on outflow variability in W43-MM1. We discovered a rich cluster of 46 outflow lobes, driven by 27 protostars with masses of 1-100 Msun. The complex environment inside which these outflow lobes develop has a definite influence on their length, limiting the validity of using outflows' dynamical timescales as a proxy of the ejection timescale in clouds with high dynamics and varying conditions. We performed a detailed study of Position-Velocity (PV) diagrams of outflows that revealed clear events of episodic ejection. The time variability of W43-MM1 outflows is a general trend and is more generally observed than in nearby, low- to intermediate-mass star-forming regions. The typical timescale found between two ejecta, about 500 yr, is consistent with that found in nearby protostars. If ejection episodicity reflects variability in the accretion process, either protostellar accretion is more variable or episodicity is easier to detect in high-mass star-forming regions than in nearby clouds. The timescale found between accretion events could be resulting from disk instabilities, associated with bursts of inflowing gas arising from the dynamical environment of high-mass star-forming cores.

description: 1. Campoplex mutabilis mutabilis (Holmgren, 1860) (MZL).
 The specimens bear red labels specifying that the identification was made from comparison with Thomson’s material in Lund. We studied two females in Aubert’s collection and, after comparison with C. difformis in Horstmann’s collection, we think they are likely C. unicingulatus as they have the epicnemial carina evenly raised ventrally and submedially, propodeum with the area superomedia and area petiolaris only slightly depressed and with fine transverse striae starting from the base of the area petiolaris, and an ovipositor ratio of 1.5–1.6 (ovipositor ratio slightly exceeding that stated for C. unicingulatus). In our opinion, this misidentification could be the reason that led Aubert to reject Horstmann’s interpretation of mutabilis as a synonym of difformis.

description: Two kinds of evolving trees are considered here: the exponential trees, where subsequent nodes are linked to old nodes without any preference, and the Barabási--Albert scale-free networks, where the probability of linking to a node is proportional to the number of its pre-existing links. In both cases, new nodes are linked to $m=1$ nodes. Average node-node distance $d$ is calculated numerically in evolving trees as dependent on the number of nodes $N$. The results for $N$ not less than a thousand are averaged over a thousand of growing trees. The results on the mean node-node distance $d$ for large $N$ can be approximated by $d=2\ln(N)+c_1$ for the exponential trees, and $d=\ln(N)+c_2$ for the scale-free trees, where the $c_i$ are constant. We derive also iterative equations for $d$ and its dispersion for the exponential trees. The simulation and the analytical approach give the same results.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Weak gravitational lensing provides a unique method to map directly the distribution of dark matter in the universe and to measure cosmological parameters. This cosmic-shear technique is based on the measurement of the weak distortions that lensing induces in the shape of background galaxies as photons travel through large-scale structures. This technique is now widely used to measure the mass distribution of galaxy clusters and has recently been detected in random regions of the sky. In this review, we present the theory and observational status of cosmic shear. We describe the principles of weak lensing and the predictions for the shear statistics in favored cosmological models. Next, we review the current measurements of cosmic shear and show how they constrain cosmological parameters. We then describe the prospects offered by upcoming and future cosmic-shear surveys as well as the technical challenges that have to be met for the promises of cosmic shear to be fully realized.

description: Teleoperation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has recently become an noteworthly research topic in the field of human robot interaction. Each year, a variety of devices is being studied to design adapted interface for diverse purpose such as view taking, search and rescue operation or suveillance. New interfaces have to be precise, simple and intuitive even for complex path planning. Moreover, when teleoperation involves long distance control, user needs to get proper feedbacks and avoid motion sickness. In order to overcome all these challenges, a new interaction metaphor named DrEAM (Drone Exocentric Advanced Metaphor) was designed. User can see the UAV he is controlling in a virtual environment mapped to the real world. He can interact with it as a simple object in a classical virtual world. An experiment was lead in order to evaluate the perfomances of this metaphor, comparing performance of novice user using either a direct-view joystick control or using DrEAM.

description: The ability to predict, and ultimately optimise, aerodynamic forces when the design variable is the geometric definition of the domain is of great importance in many areas of computational fluid dynamics. This problem is known to be extremely computationally intensive due to the vast number of configurations that must be tested and the high computational cost of each one of the simulations involved in the optimisation process. In this talk a novel approach for computing an off-line solution for a set of geometric parameters that define the computational domain will be presented. The proposed approach is based on the proper generalised decomposition and, contrary to similar approaches, the geometric parameters are the position of the control points that define the NURBS boundary representation. Examples involving the solution of Stokes flow problems in two and three dimensions will be used to demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach.

A military surveyor's souvenir? The Ilam Pan

description: This paper reviews the inscription on the Ilam Pan. It is suggested that the vessel was manufactured in Carlisle between about 122 and about 140. Possible reasons for the absence of the fort name Aballava/Burgh-by-Sands are considered, with human agency or error being suggested. The use of the word vallum is reviewed and the evidence relating to the word rigor is investigated; its use as a specific technical surveying term is stressed. There can be little doubt that Draco was the man who commissioned the pan. The appearance of rigore on the inscription points to the possibility that he was a surveyor who took part in the planning of Hadrian's Wall. As it is therefore likely that he would have been a legionary, it is possible that Aelius was not the name of Hadrian's Wall but the nomen of Draco.

description: The current knowledge of cosmological structure formation suggests that Cold Dark Matter (CDM) halos possess a nonspherical density profile, implying that cosmic structures can be potential sources of gravitational waves via power transfer from scalar perturbations to tensor metric modes in the nonlinear regime. By means of a previously developed mathematical formalism and a triaxial collapse model, we numerically estimate the stochastic gravitational-wave background generated by CDM halos during the fully nonlinear stage of their evolution. Our results suggest that the energy density associated with this background is comparable to that produced by primordial tensor modes at frequencies $ν\approx10^{-18}-10^{-17}$Hz if the energy scale of inflation is $V^{1/4}\approx 1-2\times 10^{15}$ GeV, and that these gravitational waves could give rise to several cosmological effects, including secondary CMB anisotropy and polarization.

description: In our everyday lives and social interactions we often try to perceive the emotional states of people. There has been a lot of research in providing machines with a similar capacity of recognizing emotions. From a computer vision perspective, most of the previous efforts have been focusing in analyzing the facial expressions and, in some cases, also the body pose. Some of these methods work remarkably well in specific settings. However, their performance is limited in natural, unconstrained environments. Psychological studies show that the scene context, in addition to facial expression and body pose, provides important information to our perception of people's emotions. However, the processing of the context for automatic emotion recognition has not been explored in depth, partly due to the lack of proper data. In this paper we present EMOTIC, a dataset of images of people in a diverse set of natural situations, annotated with their apparent emotion. The EMOTIC dataset combines two different types of emotion representation: (1) a set of 26 discrete categories, and (2) the continuous dimensions Valence, Arousal, and Dominance. We also present a detailed statistical and algorithmic analysis of the dataset along with annotators' agreement analysis. Using the EMOTIC dataset we train different CNN models for emotion recognition, combining the information of the bounding box containing the person with the contextual information extracted from the scene. Our results show how scene context provides important information to automatically recognize emotional states and motivate further research in this direction.

description: We present the band structure of CeIr$_3$ superconductor calculated within the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). Standard GGA and GGA+U methods fail to reproduce the experimental electronic specific heat coefficient $\gamma_{\rm expt.}$ due to the underestimated density of states at the Fermi level $N(E_F)$ followed by an overestimated strength of electron-phonon coupling (EPC) calculated as a renormalization of $\gamma_{\rm expt.}$. The DMFT study shows a strong hybridization of $4f$ states of Ce with $5d$-states of Ir, which leads to the larger $N(E_F)$ giving the correct $\gamma_{\rm expt.}$ with a moderate EPC in agreement with the experimental data.

description: Sports analysis is used to ﬁnd deeper insights intounderstanding athlete performance and team strategy.One limitation to continuing progress in this area isacquiring data that represents player and puck (or ball)movement. In some sports, such as baseball and cricket,there are signiﬁcant statistical events that are reasonablyeasy to record. Other sports, such as hockey and soccer,have few statistical events and might be better describedas ﬂowing sports. It is much more diﬃcult to acquire datain these ﬂowing sports. One solution is to use trackingdevices, in the form of micro-chips embedded on players;however, there remain a number of challenges to usingthis embedded technology. For example, if a league doesnot impose the technology on all teams, why would anopposing team wear tracking devices that could potentiallyexpose their team’s behavior? Similarly, to developsystems for automated scouting at the farm, high-school,and youth level, the technology cost for mass adoption isprohibitive.

This derivation facilitates the construction of finite-sample standard errors for the mixed estimators of the individual regression coefficients. Comparisons are made between the unbiased covariance estimator and conventional consistent estimators based on ordinary least squares and generalised least squares formulae.

One solution is to use trackingdevices, in the form of micro-chips embedded on players;however, there remain a number of challenges to usingthis embedded technology. For example, if a league doesnot impose the technology on all teams, why would anopposing team wear tracking devices that could potentiallyexpose their team’s behavior? Similarly, to developsystems for automated scouting at the farm, high-school,and youth level, the technology cost for mass adoption isprohibitive.

description: In this paper we investigate sorting patterns among chicken contract producers. We show that the sub-game perfect Nash equilibrium of this contracting game reveals a positive sorting where higher ability producers sort themselves into contracts to grow larger chickens and lower ability types sort themselves into contracts to grow smaller birds. We also show that eliciting this type of sorting behavior is proﬁt maximizing for the principal. In the empirical part of the paper, we ﬁrst estimate growers’ abilities using a two-way ﬁxed effects model and subsequently use these estimated abilities to estimate a random utility model of contract choice. Our results show that higher ability growers are more likely to self-select themselves into contracts with larger expected outputs (larger chickens) and the opposite is true for growers with lower abilities. The empirical results are strongly supportive of the developed theory.

description: Large-distance ultraperipheral collisions of two relativistic ions are considered. The clouds of photons surrounding the ions are responsible for their distant electromagnetic interaction. The perturbative approach and the method of equivalent photons are described. It is shown that the total cross section of these collisions increases rapidly with increasing energy and is especially large for heavy ions. Some experimental data and their comparison with theoretical approaches are described. Further proposals are discussed.

description: In this paper we derive the exact risk (under quadratic loss) of pretest estimators of the prediction vector and of the error variance of a linear regression model with spherically symmetric disturbances. The pre-test in question is one of the validity of a set of exact linear restrictions on the model's coefficient vector. We demonstrate how the known results for the model with normal disturbances can be extended to this broader case. Numerical evaluations of the risk expressions in the particular case of multivariate Student-t errors suggest that sampling properties of these pre-test estimators under these conditions are qualitatively similar to those which apply under normal errors.

title: The Effects of Sanctions on Russian Banks in TARGET2 Transactions Data

Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED

description: This paper examines the effect of financial sanctions at the most disaggregated level possible, individual bank accounts. Using data from the Eurosystem’s real-time gross settlement system TARGET2, we provide empirical evidence that sanctions imposed by the European Union on Russian banks following Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 have sizably reduced financial transactions with sanctioned Russian bank accounts, both along the extensive and intensive margins. Among the various sanction measures taken, exclusion from SWIFT, a global provider of secure financial messaging services, turns out to have the largest effects.

A model Hamiltonian for MgB2 which takes into account its unusual phononic features

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: Taking as a starting point the results of LDA calculations, which show that in MgB2 the phonons have a strong quartic anharmonicity and that the bond-stretching electron-phonon interaction (EPI) has both a linear and a large quadratic component, we propose a model Hamiltonian which succesfully matches a number of experimental evidences. We relate the single critical temperature for both superconducting gaps to a phonon-induced inter-band coupling whose amplitude increases with temperature. We also obtain phonon frequencies and linewidths depending on the band filling, as well as band energies and hybridization amplitudes depending on the phonon number.

description: 3. Campoplex difformis sensu Aubert (MZL).
 This species does not belong to the difformis species group but it is C. deficiens Gravenhorst, 1829 sensu Horstmann. According to Horstmann’s collection, C. deficiens forms a group of its own, being characterized by the occipital carina in the ventral half not turned outwards, meeting the hypostomal carina at an acute angle at the base of the mandible; head and mesopleuron with strong punctures on a polished surface; propodeal carinae strong, with the area superomedia about 1.5 × as long as wide, open posteriorly and mostly striate; posterior margins of the female sixth and seventh metasomal tergites clearly concave (Horstmann 1979) (Figs 1, 2A–C).

Location of lesion determines motor vs. cognitive consequences in patients with cerebellar stroke

description: Cerebellar lesions can cause motor deficits and/or the cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS; Schmahmann's syndrome). We used voxel-based lesion-symptommapping to test the hypothesis that the cerebellar motor syndrome results from anterior lobe damage whereas lesions in the posterolateral cerebellum produce the CCAS. Eighteen patients with isolated cerebellar stroke (13 males, 5 females; 20–66 years old) were evaluated using measures of ataxia and neurocognitive ability. Patients showed a wide range of motor and cognitive performance, from normal to severely impaired; individual deficits varied according to lesion location within the cerebellum. Patients with damage to cerebellar lobules III–VI had worse ataxia scores: as predicted, the cerebellar motor syndrome resulted from lesions involving the anterior cerebellum. Poorer performance on fine motor tasks was associated primarily with strokes affecting the anterior lobe extending into lobule VI, with right-handed finger tapping and peg-placement associated with damage to the right cerebellum, and lefthanded finger tapping associatedwith left cerebellar damage. Patientswith the CCAS in the absence of cerebellar motor syndrome had damage to posterior lobe regions,with lesions leading to significantly poorer scores on language (e.g. right Crus I and II extending through IX), spatial (bilateral Crus I, Crus II, and right lobule VIII), and executive function measures (lobules VII–VIII). These data reveal clinically significant functional regions underpinning movement and cognition in the cerebellum, with a broad anterior-posterior distinction. Motor and cognitive outcomes following cerebellar damage appear to reflect the disruption of different cerebro-cerebellar motor and cognitive loops.
