Psychic State

Abstract This article focuses on a mathematical description of the emotional phenomenon. The key concept is to consider emotions as an energy, and to rely on the analogy with the electromagnetic waves. Our aim is to provide a mathematical approach to characterize the emergence of emotional fluxes in the human psyche. This goes beyond classical pscychological approaches. In this setting, specific emotions correspond to specific frequencies and our psychic state results from the summation of different characteristic frequencies. Our general model of psychic state is a dynamical system whose evolution results from interactions between external inputs and internal reactions. The model provides both qualitative (frequencies) and quantitative (intensity) components. It aims to be applied to real life situations (in particular in work environments) and we provide a typical example which naturally leads to a problem of control.

Viscosity Changes

This article presents changes in the viscosity of olive oil during compression. The test was carried out indirectly by measuring the dependence of the resonance frequency of the piezoelectric immersed in olive oil on pressure. For this purpose, for successive pressures, the resonance curves were read and the values of the characteristic frequencies were determined. Viscosity changes were analysed and related to the compression and crystallization taking place in the tested substance. During this research, a phase transition from the liquid phase to the alpha crystalline phase was detected, during which the resonant frequency of the tested piezoelectric reached a minimum and the viscosity related to this frequency reached a maximum. The measurement method developed in this paper can be used to detect the phase transitions of oils subjected to pressure. This may find application in the oil production and high-pressure food preservation industries for which this knowledge is essential for the safe and trouble-free use of their machines.

Background Citizen monitoring programs using acoustic data have been useful for detecting population and community patterns. However, they have rarely been used to study broad scale patterns of species traits. We assessed the potential of acoustic data to detect broad scale patterns in body size. We compared geographical patterns in body size with acoustic signals in the bat species Pipistrellus pipistrellus. Given the correlation between body size and acoustic characteristics, we expected to see similar results when analyzing the relationships of body size and acoustic signals with climatic variables. Methods We assessed body size using forearm length measurements of 1,359 bats, captured by mist nets in France. For acoustic analyses, we used an extensive dataset collected through the French citizen bat survey. We isolated each bat echolocation call (n = 4,783) and performed automatic measures of signals, including the frequency of the flattest part of the calls (characteristic frequency). We then examined the relationship between forearm length, characteristic frequencies, and two components resulting from principal component analysis for geographic (latitude, longitude) and climatic variables. Results Forearm length was positively correlated with higher precipitation, lower seasonality, and lower temperatures. Lower characteristic frequencies (i.e., larger body size) were mostly related to lower temperatures and northern latitudes. While conducted on different datasets, the two analyses provided congruent results. Discussion Acoustic data from citizen science programs can thus be useful for the detection of large-scale patterns in body size. This first analysis offers a new perspective for the use of large acoustic databases to explore biological patterns and to address both theoretical and applied questions.

Abstract We investigate the linear optical conductivities of the newly-discovered triple-component semimetals. Due to the exactly flat band, the optical conductivity relates to the transition between the zero band and the conduction band directly reflecting the band structure of the conduction electrons in contrast to the other materials. For the low-energy models with various monopole charges, the diagonal conductivities show strong anisotropy. The ω-dependence of interband conductivities for a general low-energy model is deduced. The real part of the interband σ_xx always linearly depends on the optical frequency, while the one of σ_zz is proportional to ω^{2/n-1}. This can be a unique fingerprint of the monopole charge. For the lattice models, there also exists the optical anomalous Hall conductivity, where a sign change may appear. The characteristic frequencies of the kink structures are calculated, strictly. Our work will help us to establish the basic picture of linear optical response in topological triple-component semimetals and identify them from other materials.
