description: Strong sexual selection has been reported to both enhance and hinder the adaptive capacity and persistence of populations when exposed to novel environments. Consequently, how sexual selection influences population adaption and persistence under stress remains widely debated. Here, we present two empirical investigations of the fitness consequences of sexual selection on populations of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella, exposed to stable or gradually increasing temperatures. When faced with increasing temperatures strong sexual selection was associated with both increased fecundity and offspring survival compared with populations experiencing weak sexual selection, suggesting sexual selection acts to drive adaptive evolution by favouring beneficial alleles. Strong sexual selection did not, however, delay extinction when the temperature became excessively high. By manipulating individuals' mating opportunities during fitness assays, we were able to assess the effect of multiple mating independently from the effect of population-level sexual selection, and found that polyandry has a positive effect on both fecundity and offspring survival under increasing temperatures in those populations evolving with the weak sexual selection. Within stable temperatures, there were some benefits from strong sexual selection but these were not consistent across the entire experiment, possibly reflecting changing costs and benefits of sexual selection under stabilizing and directional selection. These results indicate that sexual selection can provide a buffer against climate change and increase adaptation rates within a continuously changing environment. These positive effects of sexual selection may, however, be too small to protect populations and delay extinction when environmental changes are relatively rapid.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: In this short note we consider a dynamic assortment planning problem under the capacitated multinomial logit (MNL) bandit model. We prove a tight lower bound on the accumulated regret that matches existing regret upper bounds for all parameters (time horizon $T$, number of items $N$ and maximum assortment capacity $K$) up to logarithmic factors. Our results close an $O(\sqrt{K})$ gap between upper and lower regret bounds from existing works.

description: We present results of numerical simulation of thin accretion disks and winds. We use the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique for this purpose. We show that the simulation agrees very well with the recent theoretical work on the shock formation. The most significant conclusion is that shocks in an inviscid flow are extremely stable. For the first time, our work also removes the ambiguity in terms of the location and stability of shocks in adiabatic flows.

description: For electrons above a superfluid helium film suspended on a specially designed dielectric substrate, $z=h(y)$, we obtain that both the transverse, along $z$, and the lateral, along $y$, quantizations are strongly enhanced due to a strong mutual coupling. The self-consistent quantum wires (QWs) with non-degenerated one-dimensional electron systems (1DESs) are obtained over a superfluid liquid helium (LH) suspended self-consistently on different dielectric substrates with a nanoscale modulation. A gap $\gtrsim 10$meV ($\gtrsim 1$meV) is obtained between the lowest two electron levels due to mainly the transverse (lateral) quantization. Our analytical model takes into account a strong interplay between the transverse and the lateral quantizations of an electron. It uses that the characteristic length (energy) along the former direction is essentially smaller (larger) than the one along the latter, in a close analogy with the adiabatic approximation.

Weighted Bias and Galaxy Clustering

description: We consider a weighted biasing scheme for galaxy clustering. This differs from previous treatments in the fact that the biased density field coincides with the background mass--density whenever the latter exceeds a given threshold value. There is some physical motivation for this scheme and it is in better accord with intuitive ideas than models based on the Kaiser (1984) analysis of the clustering of rich clusters. We explain how different classes of object could be biased in different ways with respect to the underlying density distribution but still have $b=1$. We also show that if one applies our scheme consistently a weak dependence of $b$ upon density can be implied. This could also be the reason why the correlation function of galaxies in groups does not differ substantially from the correlation function of all galaxies.

description: Developing efficient electrocatalysts for CO$_2$ reduction into value-added products is crucial for the green economy. Inspired by the recent synthesis of Biphenylene (BPH), we have systematically investigated pristine, defective, and Cu-decorated BPH as an electrocatalyst for the CO$_2$ reduction reactions (CRR). Our first-principles calculations show the CO$_2$ molecules weakly interact with the pristine BPH surface while defective BPH facilitates the CO$_2$ adsorption with a binding energy ($E_b$) of -3.22 eV, indicating the detrimental process for the CRR on the surface of both systems. Furthermore, we have investigated the binding energy and kinetic stability of Cu-decorated BPH as a single-atom-catalyst (SAC). The molecular dynamics simulations confirm the kinetic stability, revealing that the Cu-atom avoids agglomeration under low metal dispersal conditions. The CO$_2$ molecule gets adsorbed horizontally on the Cu-BPH surface with $E_b$ of -0.52 eV. The CRR mechanism is investigated using two pathways beginning with two different initial intermediate states, formate ($\mathrm{^*OCOH}$) and the carboxylic ($\mathrm{^*COOH}$) pathways. The formate pathway confirms the conversion of $\mathrm{^*OCOH}$ to $\mathrm{^*HCOOH}$ with the rate-limiting potential ($U_L$) of 0.57 eV for the production of HCOOH, while for the carboxylic pathway, the conversion of $\mathrm{^*COH}$ to $\mathrm{^*CHOH}$ has $U_L$ of 0.49 eV for the production of CH$_3$OH. We have also investigated the effect of protons using charged hydrogen pseudopotential, which hints towards the possible formation of CH$_3$OH as fuel. Our findings propose Cu-BPH as an efficient single-atom catalyst for CO$_2$ conversion compared to the well-known Cu metal.

description: We report on the first global QCD analysis of the quark transversity distributions in the nucleon from semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering (SIDIS), using a new Monte Carlo method based on nested sampling and constraints on the isovector tensor charge $g_T$ from lattice QCD. A simultaneous fit to the available SIDIS Collins asymmetry data is compatible with $g_T$ values extracted from a comprehensive reanalysis of existing lattice simulations, in contrast to previous analyses which found significantly smaller $g_T$ values. The contributions to the nucleon tensor charge from $u$ and $d$ quarks are found to be $δu = 0.3(2)$ and $δd = -0.7(2)$ at a scale $Q^2 = 2$ GeV$^2$.

description: We present an efficient algorithm for computing the exact exchange contributions in the Hartree-Fock and hybrid density functional theory models on the basis of the fast multipole method (FMM). Our algorithm is based on the observation that FMM with hierarchical boxes can be efficiently used in the exchange matrix construction, when at least one of the indices of the exchange matrix is constrained to be an occupied orbital. Timing benchmarks are presented for alkane chains (C400H802 and C150H302), a graphene sheet (C150H30), a water cluster [(H2O)100], and a protein Crambin (C202H317O64N55S6). The computational cost of the far-field exchange evaluation for Crambin is roughly 3% that of a self-consistent field iteration when the multipoles up to rank 2 are used.

description: Recent technology advancements in the areas of compute, storage and networking, along with the increased demand for organizations to cut costs while remaining responsive to increasing service demands have led to the growth in the adoption of cloud computing services. Cloud services provide the promise of improved agility, resiliency, scalability and a lowered Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). This research introduces a framework for minimizing cost and maximizing resource utilization by using an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) approach to optimize the assignment of workloads to servers on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud infrastructure. The model is based on the classical minimum-cost flow model, known as the assignment model.

description: We discuss the influence of gravitational waves (GWs) upon the polarisation of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). We show how to compute the {\em rms} temperature anisotropy and polarisation of the CMBR induced by GWs of arbitrary wavelength. We find that the ratio of polarisation, $Π$, to anisotropy, $A$, can be as large as $\sim 40$\%, but is sensitively dependent upon the GW spectrum and the cosmological ionisation history. We argue that CMBR polarisation measurements can provide useful constraints on cosmological models.

description: We present deep optical spectroscopy of eight HII regions located in the anticentre of the Milky Way. The spectra were obtained at the 10.4m GTC and 8.2m VLT. We determined Te([NII]) for all objects and Te([OIII]) for six of them. We also included in our analysis an additional sample of 13 inner-disc Galactic Hii regions from the literature that have excellent T_e determinations. We adopted the same methodology and atomic dataset to determine the physical conditions and ionic abundances for both samples. We also detected the CII and OII optical recombination lines in Sh 2-100, which enables determination of the abundance discrepancy factor for this object. We found that the slopes of the radial oxygen gradients defined by the HII regions from R_25 (= 11.5 kpc) to 17 kpc and those within R_25 are similar within the uncertainties, indicating the absence of flattening in the radial oxygen gradient in the outer Milky Way. In general, we found that the scatter of the O/H ratios of Hii regions is not substantially larger than the observational uncertainties. The largest possible local inhomogeneities of the oxygen abundances are of the order of 0.1 dex. We also found positive radial gradients in Te([O III]) and Te([N II]) across the Galactic disc. The shapes of these temperature gradients are similar and also consistent with the absence of flattening of the metallicity distribution in the outer Galactic disc.

We apply this formalism to the case of light-cone wave functions in a constituent quark model giving numerical results for the four chiral-odd generalized parton distributions in a region where they describe the emission and reabsorption of a quark by the nucleon. With the transversity distribution obtained in the forward limit of the generalized distribution, we provide some predictions for the double transverse-spin asymmetry in Drell-Yan dilepton production in the kinematics of the PAX experiment.

We present an analytic treatment of the ISW effect, which is analogous to thick last scattering surface techniques for the Doppler effect, that compares quite well with the full numerical calculations. The power spectrum of temperature fluctuations due to the small scale ISW effect has wave number dependence k^{-5} times that of the matter power spectrum.

description: By using the Fermi/Gamma-ray Burst Monitor data of the X-ray bursts (XRBs) of SGR J1935+2154, we investigate the temporal clustering of the bursts and the cumulative distribution of the waiting time and fluence/flux. It is found that the bursts occurring in the episode hosting FRB 20200428 have obviously shorter waiting times than those in the other episodes. The general statistical properties of the XRBs further indicate they could belong to a self-organized critical (SOC) system (e.g., starquakes), making them very similar to the earthquake phenomena. Then, according to a unified scaling law between the waiting time and energy of the earthquakes as well as their aftershocks, we implement an analogy analysis on the XRBs and find that the FRB episode owns more dependent burst events than the other episodes. It is indicated that the fast radio burst (FRB) emission could be produced by the interaction between different burst events, which could correspond to a collision between different seismic/Alfven waves or different explosion outflows. Such a situation could appear when the magnetar enters into a global intensive activity period.

description: Heart-rate estimation is a fundamental feature of modern wearable devices. In this paper we propose a machine intelligent approach for heart-rate estimation from electrocardiogram (ECG) data collected using wearable devices. The novelty of our approach lies in (1) encoding spatio-temporal properties of ECG signals directly into spike train and using this to excite recurrently connected spiking neurons in a Liquid State Machine computation model; (2) a novel learning algorithm; and (3) an intelligently designed unsupervised readout based on Fuzzy c-Means clustering of spike responses from a subset of neurons (Liquid states), selected using particle swarm optimization. Our approach differs from existing works by learning directly from ECG signals (allowing personalization), without requiring costly data annotations. Additionally, our approach can be easily implemented on state-of-the-art spiking-based neuromorphic systems, offering high accuracy, yet significantly low energy footprint, leading to an extended battery life of wearable devices. We validated our approach with CARLsim, a GPU accelerated spiking neural network simulator modeling Izhikevich spiking neurons with Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) and homeostatic scaling. A range of subjects are considered from in-house clinical trials and public ECG databases. Results show high accuracy and low energy footprint in heart-rate estimation across subjects with and without cardiac irregularities, signifying the strong potential of this approach to be integrated in future wearable devices.

description: We present results of numerical simulation of inviscid thick accretion disks and wind flows around black holes. We use Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique for this purpose. Formation of thick disks are found to be preceded by shock waves travelling away from the centrifugal barrier. For a large range of the parameter space, the travelling shock settles at a distance close to the location obtained by a one-and-a-half dimensional model of inviscid accretion disks. Occasionally, it is observed that accretion processes are aided by the formation of oblique shock waves, particularly in the initial transient phase. The post-shock region (where infall velocity suddenly becomes very small) resembles that of the usual model of thick accretion disk discussed in the literature, though they have considerable turbulence. The flow subsequently becomes supersonic before falling into the black hole. In a large number of cases which we simulate, we find the formation of strong winds which are hot and subsonic when originated from the disk surface very close to the black hole but become supersonic within a few tens of the Schwarzschild radius of the blackhole. In the case of accretion of high angular momentum flow, very little amount of matter is accreted directly onto the black hole. Most of the matter is, however, first squeezed to a small volume close to the black hole, and subsequently expands and is expelled as a strong wind. It is quite possible that this expulsion of matter and the formation of cosmic radio jets is aided by the shock heating in the inner parts of the accretion disks.

description: We give formulas for calculating the unramified Brauer group of a homogeneous space $X$ of a semisimple simply connected group $G$ with finite geometric stabilizer $\bar F$ over a wide family of fields of characteristic 0. When $k$ is a number field, we use these formulas in order to study the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle and weak approximation. We prove in particular that the Brauer-Manin pairing is constant on $X(k_v)$ for every $v$ outside from an explicit finite set of non archimedean places of $k$.

description: A novel Cu(II) complex [Cu2L2(NO3)2] with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde-(4’hydroxy)phenylacetyl hydrazone (C19H14N2O2·H2O, HL) was synthesized. The structure of [Cu2L2(NO3)2] was characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and can be described as a distorted rectangular pyramid with binuclear coordination. IR, UV–vis and EPR spectra are used to discuss the structure of Cu(II) complex in different conditions. Magnetic properties were determined by EPR spectra and magnetic susceptibility studies, showing magnetic exchange interaction and weak antiferromagnetic exchange between two Cu(II) ions. The apparent activation energy (Ea) of thermal decomposition of compounds indicated that the thermal stability of [Cu2L2(NO3)2] is better than HL. The CT-DNA binding behavior of compounds was determined by UV–vis absorption and viscosity measurements and the results confirmed an intercalative binding mode with CT-DNA. Kb obtained was 6.24(±0.12) × 106 M−1 and 3.09(±0.006) × 106 M−1 for [Cu2L2(NO3)2] and HL, respectively, revealing that the binding ability of [Cu2L2(NO3)2] with CT-DNA was stronger. The thermogenic curves of compounds interacting with CT-DNA were monitored by microcalorimetry, showing they were all endothermic reactions with reaction within 27–42 min; interaction enthalpies (ΔH) of [Cu2L2(NO3)2] and HL were 30.3 and 4.31 kJ mol−1. Binding studies with BSA were evaluated by fluorescence spectroscopy and the same relative interactions were found comparing with the above CT-DNA experiments.

Bremsstrahlung Radiation Power in Fusion Plasmas Revisited: Towards Accurate Analytical Fitting
Creators: name: Xie, Huasheng
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In fusion plasmas, where electron temperatures $T_e$ range from keV to hundreds of keV, Bremsstrahlung radiation constitutes a significant energy loss mechanism. While various thermal average fitting formulas exist in the literature, their accuracy is limited, particularly for $T_e \leq 20$ keV with error $>10\%$. Additionally, non-relativistic fitting formulas become invalid for $T_e \geq 50$ keV. The accurate calculation of Bremsstrahlung radiation is important for fusion gain study, especially of advanced fuels fusion. In this work, we develop new but still simple fitting formulas that are valid for electron temperatures ranging from small ($\lesssim0.1$ keV) to extreme relativistic range, with errors of less than 1\% even for high atomic number ions (e.g., $Z=30$), which could be sufficient for fusion plasma applications. Both electron-ion (e-i) and electron-electron (e-e) Bremsstrahlung radiations are considered. Both polynomial fitting with truncated ($t=k_BT_e/m_ec^2\leq10$) and one-fit-all formulas are provided. Additionally, we offer fitting formulas for e-i and e-e specifically for electron energies, which could prove useful in non-Maxwellian Bremsstrahlung radiation studies.

Analogue of the Brauer-Siegel theorem for Legendre elliptic curves

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)

description: We prove an analogue of the Brauer-Siegel theorem for the Legendre elliptic curves over $\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. More precisely, if $d$ is an integer coprime to $q$, we denote by $E_d$ the elliptic curve with model $y^2=x(x+1)(x+t^d)$ over $K=\mathbb{F}_q(t)$. We give an asymptotic estimate of the product of the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of $E_d$ (which is known to be finite) with its Néron-Tate regulator, in terms of the exponential differential height of $E_d$, as $d\to\infty$.

Analysis of Small Scale MBR Anisotropy in the Presence of Foreground Contamination
Creators: name: Dodelson, Scott

Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Many of the current round of experiments searching for anisotropies in the MBR are confronting the problem of how to disentangle the cosmic signal from contamination due to galactic and intergalactic foreground sources. Here we show how commonly used likelihood function techniques can be generalized to account for foreground. Specifically we set some restrictions on the spectrum of foreground contamination but allow the amplitude to vary arbitrarily. The likelihood function thus generalized gives reasonable limits on the MBR anisotropy which, in some cases, are not much less restrictive than what one would get from more detailed modeling of the foreground. Furthermore, the likelihood function is exactly the same as one would obtain by simply projecting out foreground contamination and just looking at the reduced data set. We apply this generalized analysis to the recent medium angle data sets of ACME-HEMT and MAX. The resulting analysis constrains the one free parameter in the standard cold dark matter theory to be Q=18_-5^+8 microK. This best fit value, although in striking agreement with the normalization from COBE, is not a very good fit, with an overall chi^2/ degree of freedom =208/168. We also argue against three commonly used methods of dealing with foreground: (i) ignoring it completely; (ii) subtracting off a best fit foreground and treating the residuals as if uncontaminated; and (iii) culling data which appears to be contaminated by foreground.

Modes of Elliptical Galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1993
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Long lived modes of elliptical galaxies can exist {\it à la} van Kampen. Specific systems may possess long lived oscillations which Landau damp on time scales longer than a Hubble time. Some physical processes such as a close encounter, tidal forces from a cluster or an orbiting satellite could preferentially excite a coherent mode. These may relate to the observed faint structure in elliptical galaxies such as shells and ripples. Their detection in projected phase space would ultimately provide a detailed probe of the underlying potential. I give an overview of linear perturbations to stationary solutions of the Vlasov equation, including a discretized Hermite polynomial expansion which explicitly demonstrates completeness and orthogonality of solutions. Some exact solutions are shown, which implies the feasibility of such a procedure and suggest future fully numerical studies.

Proca stars with nonminimal coupling to the Einstein tensor

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We investigate Proca star (PS) solutions, namely boson star (BS) type solutions for a complex vector field with mass and nonminimal coupling to the Einstein tensor. Irrespective of the existence of nonminimal coupling, PS solutions are mini-BS type, but the inclusion of it changes properties. For positive nonminimal coupling parameters, PS solutions do not exist for central amplitudes above some certain value due to the singular behavior of the evolution equations. For negative nonminimal coupling parameters, there is no such singular behavior but sufficiently enhanced numerical resolutions are requested for larger amplitudes. Irrespective of the sign of the nonzero nonminimal coupling parameter, PSs with the maximal Arnowitt-Deser-Misner mass and Noether charge are gravitationally bound. Properties of PSs are very similar to those of BSs in scalar-tensor theories including healthy higher-derivative terms.

description: Since the 1990s, 13 of the 15 states of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) have passed asylum policy reforms. Yet, while some of the reforms have resulted in an alignment with European asylum policies, others have not. To account for the scope and content of asylum policy reform in the ENP states, a wide array of possible explanatory factors has been advanced in the literature. However, current explanations remain on a case-specific level, and thus fall short of accounting for the broader variation in asylum policy reform in the EU's neighbourhood. This article seeks to identify the relevant drivers of alignment with European asylum policies, employing a qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) across 13 ENP countries. The results show that ENP states align with European asylum policies in two cases: first, if they are electoral democracies and face moderate migratory pressures; second, if they are electoral democracies and hold EU membership aspirations.

description: The effects of reionization, occurring after standard recombination in cold dark matter-dominated models, on CMB anisotropies are investigated. Late-time reionization reduces the CMB anisotropies, in particular, on degree scales. It is found that constraints on cold dark matter-dominated models from the highest frequency channel of the 9-point South Pole data are significantly relaxed for models which are consistent with Big Bang nucleosynthesis if reionization is assumed to have occurred by redshift $\sim 20.$
