description: Cross-correlating the lensing signals of galaxies and comic microwave background (CMB) fluctuations is expected to provide valuable cosmological information. In particular it may help tighten constraints on parameters describing the properties of intrinsically aligned galaxies at high redshift. To access the information conveyed by the cross-correlation signal its accurate theoretical description is required. We compute the bias to CMB lensing-galaxy shape cross-correlation measurements induced by nonlinear structure growth. Using tree-level perturbation theory for the large-scale structure bispectrum we find that the bias is negative on most angular scales, therefore mimicking the signal of intrinsic alignments. Combining Euclid-like galaxy lensing data with a CMB experiment comparable to the Planck satellite mission the bias becomes significant only on smallest scales ($\ell\gtrsim 2500$). For improved CMB observations, however, the corrections amount to 10-15 per cent of the CMB lensing-intrinsic alignment signal over a wide multipole range ($10 \lesssim \ell \lesssim 2000$). Accordingly the power spectrum bias, if uncorrected, translates into $2σ$ and $3σ$ errors in the determination of the intrinsic alignment amplitude in case of CMB stage III and stage IV experiments, respectively.

description: We investigate the kinetics of the $A+B \to 0$ reaction with long-range attractive interaction $V(r) \sim -r^{-2σ}$ between $A$ and $B$ or with the drift velocity $v \sim r^{-σ}$ in one dimension, where $r$ is the closest distance between $A$ and $B$. It is analytically show that the dynamical exponents for density of particles ($ρ$) and the size of domains ($\ell$) continuously vary with $σ$ when $σ< σ_c =/1/2$, while that for the distance between adjacent opposite species ($\ell_{AB}$) varies when $σ< σ_c^{AB}= 7/6$. Beyond $σ_c^{AB}$, diffusive motions dominate the kinetics, so that the dynamical behavior for diffusive systems is completely recovered. These anomalous behaviors with the two crossover values of $σ$ are supported by numerical simulations and the argument of effective repulsion between the opposite species domains.

description: In this contribution, we used the GrowCut segmentation algorithm publicly available in three-dimensional Slicer for three-dimensional segmentation of vertebral bodies. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the GrowCut method has been studied for the usage of vertebral body segmentation. In brief, we found that the GrowCut segmentation times were consistently less than the manual segmentation times. Hence, GrowCut provides an alternative to a manual slice-by-slice segmentation process.

description: : Mitral regurgitation (MR) is present in a large proportion of patients who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). However, existing clinical data on the impact of TAVR on early post-procedural MR severity are contradictory. Using a comprehensive computational engineering methodology, this study aimed to quantitatively evaluate the structural and hemodynamic impact of TAVR on aortic-mitral continuity and MR severity in a rigorously developed and validated patient-specific left heart (LH) computer model with aortic stenosis and concomitant functional MR. : TAVR procedure was virtually simulated using a self-expandable valve (SEV) at three implantation heights. Pre- and post-TAVR LH dynamics as well as intra-operative biomechanics were analyzed. : No significant differences in early MR improvement (<10%) were noted at the three implantation depths when compared to the pre-TAVR state. The high deployment model resulted in the highest stress in the native aortic leaflets, lowest stent-tissue contact force, highest aortic-mitral angle, and highest MR reduction for this patient case. When comparing SEV vs. balloon-expandable valve (BEV) performance at an optimal implantation height, the SEV gave a higher regurgitant volume than the pre-TAVR model (40.49 vs 37.59 ml), while the BEV model gave the lowest regurgitant volume (33.84 vs 37.59 ml). : Contact force, aortic-mitral angle, and valve annuli compression were identified as possible mechanistic parameters that may suggest avenues for acute MR improvement. Albeit a single patient parametric study, it is our hope that such detailed engineering analysis could shed some light into the underlying biomechanical mechanisms of TAVR impact on MR.

Clustering and increased settling speed of oblate particles at finite Reynolds number

description: We study the settling of rigid oblates in quiescent fluid using interface-resolved Direct Numerical Simulations. In particular, an immersed boundary method is used to account for the dispersed solid phase together with lubrication correction and collision models to account for short-range particle-particle interactions. We consider semi-dilute suspensions of oblate particles with aspect ratio AR=1/3 and solid volume fractions $ϕ=0.5\%-10\%$. The solid-to-fluid density ratio $R=1.5$ and the Galileo number (i.e. the ratio between buoyancy and viscous forces) based on the diameter of a sphere with equivalent volume $Ga=60$. With this choice of parameters, an isolated oblate falls vertically with a steady wake with its broad side perpendicular to the gravity direction. At this $Ga$, the mean settling speed of spheres is a decreasing function of the volume $ϕ$ and is always smaller than the terminal velocity of the isolated particle, $V_t$. On the contrary, we show here that the mean settling speed of oblate particles increases with $ϕ$ in dilute conditions and is $33\%$ larger than $V_t$. At higher concentrations, the mean settling speed decreases becoming smaller than the terminal velocity $V_t$ between $ϕ=5\%$ and $10\%$. The increase of the mean settling speed is due to the formation of particle clusters that for $ϕ=0.5\%-1\%$ appear as columnar-like structures. From the pair-distribution function we observe that it is most probable to find particle-pairs almost vertically aligned. However, the pair-distribution function is non-negligible all around the reference particle indicating that there is a substantial amount of clustering at radial distances between 2 and $6c$ (with $c$ the polar radius of the oblate).

description: Rice, a most salt-sensitive cereal plant, adopts diverse pathways to withstand sodium chloride–induced salinity-related adversities. During the present study, attempt was made to understand the role of calcium on metabolite profile of the leaves of salt tolerant rice seedlings of variety of Nonabokra under sodium chloride induced salinity, by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry-based metabolomics approach. Calcium availability in the seedlings was reduced or enhanced applying inhibitors (vanadyl sulfate, lanthanum chloride, and verapamil) or promoters of calcium influx (calcimycin also known as calcium ionophore A23187) in the sodium chloride (100 mM) supplemented growth medium. Growth medium of ten-day-old seedlings was replaced by sodium chloride supplemented hydroponic solution with promotor or inhibitors of calcium channel. Fifteen days old seedlings were harvested. It was observed that depletion of calcium availability increased the level of serotonin and gentisic acid whereas increased calcium level decreased these metabolites. It was concluded from the results that production of the signaling molecules serotonin and gentisic acids was elevated in calcium-deficient seedlings under salt stress the condition that was considered as control during the experiment. The two signaling molecules probably help this tolerant rice variety Nonabokra to withstand the salt-induced adversities.

description: Different implementations of the same protocol specification usually contain deviations, i.e., differences in how they check and process some of their inputs. Deviations are commonly introduced as implementation errors or as different interpretations of the same specification. Automatic discovery of these deviations is important for several applications. In this paper, we focus on automatic discovery of deviations for two particular applications: error detection and fingerprint generation. We propose a novel approach for automatically detecting deviations in the way different implementations of the same specification check and process their input. Our approach has several advantages: (1) by automatically building symbolic formulas from the implementation, our approach is precisely faithful to the implementation; (2) by solving formulas created from two different implementations of the same specification, our approach significantly reduces the number of inputs needed to find deviations; (3) our approach works on binaries directly, without access to the source code. We have built a prototype implementation of our approach and have evaluated it using multiple implementations of two different protocols: HTTP and NTP. Our results show that our approach successfully finds deviations between different implementations, including errors in input checking, and differences in the interpretation of the specification, which can be used as fingerprints.

description: We present 2D, ideal-MHD numerical simulations of the Parker instability in a multi-component warm disk model. The calculations were done using two numerical codes with different algorithms, TVD and ZEUS-3D. The outcome of the numerical experiments performed with both codes is very similar, and confirms the results of the linear analysis for the undular mode derived by Kim et al. (2000): the most unstable wavelength is about 3 kpc and its growth timescale is between 30-50 Myr (the growth rate is sensitive to the position of the upper boundary of the numerical grid). Thus, the time and length scales of this multicomponent disk model are substantially larger than those derived for thin disk models. We use three different types of perturbations, random, symmetric, and antisymmetric, to trigger the instability. The antisymmetric mode is dominant, and determines the minimum time for the onset of the nonlinear regime. The instability generates dense condensations and the final peak column density value in the antisymmetric case, as also derived by Kim et al. (2000), is about a factor of 3 larger than its initial value. These wavelengths and density enhancement factors indicate that the instability alone cannot be the main formation mechanism of giant molecular clouds in the general interstellar medium. The role of the instability in the formation of large-scale corrugations along spiral arms is briefly discussed.

description: The organizational structure of a municipal agency plays a critical role in its ability to fulfill its public mission. A well-organized agency is able to achieve its objectives in an effective and efficient manner. In addition, an agency with a clearly defined organizational structure is better prepared to adapt to the changing needs of its community. Professionals in the field of economic development are especially aware of the value of effective organizational structures. The cyclical nature of local economies often forces economic development agencies to shift focus rapidly in order to address changing economic conditions. Adapting successfully to these changes requires an organizational structure that clearly delineates decision-making powers and professional responsibilities. The City of Attleboro is currently in the process of reviewing the organizational structure of its economic development agency. The ultimate goal of this process is to determine the best possible utilization of staff and resources. This study of the organizational structures of five economic development agencies in Massachusetts is an important component of the review process. The study provides organizational models that can serve as useful guides for decision-makers. Organizational flow charts for each of the five agencies are presented and an analysis of the relative advantages and disadvantages of each structure is included. The City will find this study to be a valuable resource when developing an organizational structure that will address its unique economic needs and goals.

description: The ability to reliably predict critical transitions in dynamical systems is a long-standing goal of diverse scientific communities. Previous work focused on early warning signals related to local bifurcations (critical slowing down) and non-bifurcation type transitions. We extend this toolbox and report on a characteristic scaling behavior (critical attractor growth) which is indicative of an impending global bifurcation, an interior crisis in excitable systems. We demonstrate our early warning signal in a conceptual climate model as well as in a model of coupled neurons known to exhibit extreme events. We observed critical attractor growth prior to interior crises of chaotic as well as strange-nonchaotic attractors. These observations promise to extend the classes of transitions that can be predicted via early warning signals.

description: Internet attackers control hundreds of thousands to perhaps millions of computers, which they can use for a variety of different attacks. Common attacks include spam delivery, phishing, and DDoS. The current research community focus is on defenses for each specific attack type compromised hosts may launch. However, attack-specific approaches almost always have two fundamental drawbacks: they do not address the root problem that attackers control an army of compromised hosts, and they do not provide the right incentives for users to properly secure their machines. As a result, attack-specific defenses may be defeated by new attacks, even those that may be only slightly different from old attacks. We argue researchers should also focus on attack-agnostic defenses whose effectiveness does not depend on the particular attack type. We initiate this line of research by investigating the design space for attack-agnostic defenses, and then detailing two extreme points within the design space: an InternetWatch List and an Internet Reputation System.

description: A collective bands of positive and negative parity could be composed of the vibrations and rotations. The rotations of the octupole configurations can be based either on the axial or the non-axial octupole vibrations. A consistent approach to the quadrupole-octupole collective vibrations coupled with the rotational motion enables to distinguish between various scenarios of disappearance of the E2 transitions in negative-parity bands. The here presented theoretical estimates are compared with the recent experimental energies and transition probabilities in and between the ground-state and low-energy negaive-parity bands in $^{156}$Dy. A realistic collective Hamiltonian contains the potential energy term obtained through the macroscopic-microscopic Strutinsky-like method with particle-number-projected BCS approach and deformation-dependent mass tensor defined in vibrational-rotational, nine-dimensional collective space. The symmetrization procedure ensures the uniqueness of the Hamiltonian eigensolutions with respect to the laboratory coordinate system. This quadrupole-octupole collective approach may also allow to find and/or verify some fingerprints of possible high-order symmetries (e.g. tetrahedral, octahedral,...) in nuclear collective bands.

description: The commercial success of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) and the resulting growth in mobile data demand have urged cellular network operators to strive for new innovations. LTE in unlicensed spectrum has been proposed to allow cellular network operators to offload some of their data traffic by accessing the unlicensed 5 GHz frequency band. Currently, there are three proposed variants for LTE operation in the unlicensed band, namely LTE-U, Licensed Spectrum Access (LAA), and MulteFire. This paper provides a comparative analysis of these variants and explains the current regulations of the 5 GHz band in different parts of the world. We present the technical details of the three proposed versions and analyze them in terms of their operational features and coexistence capabilities to provide an R\&D perspective for their deployment and coexistence with legacy systems.

description: Abstract: "By a framework for concurrent design we mean: (1) formal ways of stating the problems of concurrent design, (2) visualization (conceptualization) aids to help devise strategies for solving these problems, and (3) implementation aids to help translate the strategies into working systems. This paper begins by defining some terms, including 'conflict,' and 'computational path.' Next, concurrent design problems are formulated in these terms. Specifically, these problems are shown to be equivalent to finding computational paths that avoid or el[i]minate conflicts and connect given data-objects to desired data-objects.A class of graphs, called TAO graphs, is developed for visualizing such paths. Finally, a computational environment, called FORS, is described for implementing selected paths."

description: We establish an exact mapping between the multiplication table of the irreducible representations of SU(3) and the fusion algebra of the two-dimensional conformal field theory in the same universality class of 3D SU(3) gauge theory at the deconfining point. In this way the Svetitsky-Yaffe conjecture on the critical behaviour of Polyakov lines in the fundamental representation naturally extends to whatever representation one considers. As a consequence, the critical exponents of the correlators of these Polyakov lines are determined. Monte Carlo simulations with sources in the symmetric two-index representation, combined with finite-size scaling analysis, compare very favourably with these predictions.

description: We analyse two ASCA observations of the highly eccentric O9III + B1III binary Iota Orionis obtained at periastron and apastron. Based on the assumption of a strong colliding winds shock between the stellar components, we expected to see significant variation in the X-ray emission between these phases. The observations proved otherwise: the X-ray luminosities and spectral distributions were remarkably similar. The only noteworthy feature was the hint of a proximity effect during periastron passage, supported also in the optical. We discuss the accuracy of our results, and also analyse archival ROSAT observations. We investigate why we do not see a clear colliding winds signature. A simple model shows that the wind attenuation to the expected position of the shock apex is negligible throughout the orbit, which poses the puzzling question of why the expected 1/D variation (ie. a factor of 7.5) in the intrinsic luminosity is not seen in the data. Two scenarios are proposed: either the colliding winds emission is unexpectedly weak such that intrinsic shocks in the winds dominate the emission, or, alternatively, that the emission observed is colliding winds emission but in a more complex form than we would naively expect. Complex hydrodynamical models are then analyzed. Despite strongly phase-variable emission from the models, both were consistent with the observations. We find that if the mass-loss rates of the stars are low then intrinsic wind shocks could dominate the emission. However, when we assume higher mass-loss rates of the stars, we find that the observed emission could also be consistent with a purely colliding winds origin. To distinguish between the different models X-ray observations with improved phase coverage will be necessary.

description: A pioneering experiment [E. Schuster, E. Buks, M. Heiblum, D. Mahalu, V. Umansky, and Hadas Shtrikman, Nature 385, 417 (1997)] reported the measurement of the transmission phase of an electron traversing a quantum dot and found the intriguing feature of a sudden phase drop in the conductance valleys. Based on the Friedel sum rule for a spinless effective one-dimensional system, it has been previously argued [H.-W. Lee, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2358 (1999)] that the sudden phase drop should be accompanied by the vanishing of the transmission amplitude, or transmission zero. Here we address roles of strong electron-electron interactions on the electron transport through a two-level quantum dot where one level couples with the leads much more strongly than the other level does [P. G. Silvestrov and Y. Imry, Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 2565 (2000)]. We perform a perturbative conductance calculation with an explicit account of large charging energy and verify that the resulting conductance exhibits transmission zero, in agreement with the analysis based on the Friedel sum rule.

description: Phylogenetic trees illustrate the evolutionary history of genes and species. In most cases, although genes evolve along with the species they belong to, a species tree and gene tree are not identical, because of evolutionary events at the gene level like duplication or transfer. These differences are handled by phylogenetic reconciliation, which formally is a mapping between gene tree nodes and species tree nodes and branches. We investigate models of reconciliation with a gene transfer that replaces existing gene, which is a biological important event but never included in reconciliation models. Also the problem is close to a dated version of the classical subtree prune and regraft (SPR) distance problem, where a pruned subtree has to be regrafted only on a branch closer to the root. We prove that the reconciliation problem including transfer and replacement is NP-hard, and that if speciations and transfers with replacement are the only allowed evolutionary events, then it is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) with respect to the reconciliation's weight. We prove that the results extend to the dated SPR problem.

description: Power limitations and complexity constraints demand modular designs, such as chip multiprocessors (CMPs) and systems-on-chip (SOCs). Today’s CMPs feature up to a hundred discrete cores, with greater levels of integration anticipated in the future. Supporting effective on-chip resource sharing for cloud computing and server consolidation necessitates CMP-level quality-of-service (QOS) for performance isolation, service guarantees, and security. This work takes a topology-aware approach to on-chip QOS. We propose to segregate shared resources into dedicated, QOS-enabled regions of the chip. We than eliminate QOS-related hardware and its associated overheads from the rest of the die via a combination of topology and operating system support. We evaluate several topologies for the QOS-enabled regions, including a new organization called Destination Partitioned Subnets (DPS) which uses a light-weight dedicated network for each destination node. DPS matches or bests other topologies with comparable bisection bandwidth in performance, area- and energy-efficiency, fairness, and preemption resilience.
Spectral Models of Convection-Dominated Accretion Flows

description: For small values of the dimensionless viscosity parameter, namely $α\lesssim 0.1$, the dynamics of non-radiating accretion flows is dominated by convection; convection strongly suppresses the accretion of matter onto the central object and transports a luminosity $\sim 10^{-3}-10^{-2} \dot M c^2$ from small to large radii in the flow. A fraction of this convective luminosity is likely to be radiated at large radii via thermal bremsstrahlung emission. We show that this leads to a correlation between the frequency of maximal bremsstrahlung emission and the luminosity of the source, $ν_{\rm peak} \propto L^{2/3}$. Accreting black holes with X-ray luminosities $10^{-4} L_{Edd}\gtrsim L_X(0.5-10{\rm keV}) \gtrsim 10^{-7}L_{Edd}$ are expected to have hard X-ray spectra, with photon indices $Γ\sim2$, and sources with $L_X\lesssim 10^{-9}L_{Edd}$ are expected to have soft spectra, with $Γ\sim3.5$. This is testable with {\it Chandra} and {\it XMM}.

description: Soft x-ray resonant scattering at the Ni L2,3 edges is used to test models of magnetic and orbital-ordering below the metal-insulator transition in NdNiO3. The large branching ratio of the L3 to L2 intensities of the (1/2,0,1/2) reflection and the observed azimuthal angle and polarization dependence originates from a non collinear magnetic structure. The absence of an orbital signal and the non collinear magnetic structure show that the nickelates are materials for which orbital ordering is absent at the metal-insulator transition.

The role of impurities on the optical properties of rectangular graphene flakes

description: We study rectangular graphene flakes using mean field states as the basis for a configuration interaction calculation, which allows us to analyze the low lying electronic excited states including electron correlations beyond the mean field level. We find that the lowest energy transition is polarized along the long axis of the flake, but the charge distributions involved in these transitions are invariably localized on the zigzag edges. We also investigate the impact of both short and long range impurity potentials on the optical properties of these systems. We predict that even a weak impurity localized at a zigzag edge of the flake can have a significant -- and often dramatic -- effect on its optical properties. This is in contrast to impurities localized at armchair edges or central regions of the flake, for which we predict almost no change to the optical properties of the flake even with strong impurity potentials.

description: Memory bandwidth compression can be an effective way to achieve higher system performance and energy efficiency in modern data-intensive applications by exploiting redundancy in data. Prior works studied various data compression techniques to improve both capacity (e.g., of caches and main memory) and bandwidth utilization (e.g., of the on-chip and off-chip interconnects). These works addressed two common shortcomings of compression: (i) compression/decompression overhead in terms of latency, energy, and area, and (ii) hardware complexity to support variable data size. In this paper, we make the new observation that there is another important problem related to data compression in the context of the communication energy efficiency: transferring compressed data leads to a substantial increase in the number of bit toggles (communication channel switchings from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0). This, in turn, increases the dynamic energy consumed by on-chip and off-chip buses due to more frequent charging and discharging of the wires. Our results, for example, show that the bit toggle count increases by an average of 2.2 with some compression algorithms across 54 mobile GPU applications. We characterize and demonstrate this new problem across a wide variety of 221 GPU applications and six different compression algorithms. To mitigate the problem, we propose two new toggle-aware compression techniques: Energy Control and Metadata Consolidation. These techniques greatly reduce the bit toggle count impact of the six data compression algorithms we examine, while keeping most of their bandwidth reduction benefits.
