description: The properties of continuous variable teleportation of single photon states are investigated. The output state is different from the input state due to the non-maximal entanglement in the EPR beams. The photon statistics of the teleportation output are determined and the correlation between the field information beta obtained in the teleportation process and the change in photon number is discussed. The results of the output photon statistics are applied to the transmission of a qbit encoded in the polarization of a single photon.

description: Predicting interactions between structured entities lies at the core of numerous tasks such as drug regimen and new material design. In recent years, graph neural networks have become attractive. They represent structured entities as graphs and then extract features from each individual graph using graph convolution operations. However, these methods have some limitations: i) their networks only extract features from a fix-sized subgraph structure (i.e., a fix-sized receptive field) of each node, and ignore features in substructures of different sizes, and ii) features are extracted by considering each entity independently, which may not effectively reflect the interaction between two entities. To resolve these problems, we present MR-GNN, an end-to-end graph neural network with the following features: i) it uses a multi-resolution based architecture to extract node features from different neighborhoods of each node, and, ii) it uses dual graph-state long short-term memory networks (L-STMs) to summarize local features of each graph and extracts the interaction features between pairwise graphs. Experiments conducted on real-world datasets show that MR-GNN improves the prediction of state-of-the-art methods.

Subjects: subject: Financial Risk
subject: Network Analysis

description: Learning how the financial risk has been transmitted between industries in China before and after some big events is a crucial topic in risk manage- ment. Due to the large number of industries in China, the market can be regarded as a high-dimension network. To conduct the empirical research on risk transmission mechanism in China based on daily data of the SWS (Shen Wan Security) secondary industry index, I utilize the LASSO algorithm to compress, select and estimate variables and build a high dimensional VAR model and calculate the pairwise risk connectedness between different in- dustries. With the help of network analysis, I visualize the outcome of the VAR-Lasso model. Then, both full sample estimation and rolling window estimation are applied to provide static analysis and dynamic analysis on the risk transmission network. Based on the analysis, clustering character- istics can be easily found in risk transmission of the market, especially be- tween industries in the same industrial chain or between industries that are closely connected. Particularly, Oil exploitation, Insurance, Banking, and Railway Transportation are functioning as an efficient intermediary nodes in the whole transmission process. As for dynamic analysis, the overall risk connectedness reaches the summit during the great stock crisis in 2015 and the shock of COVID-19. Comparisons are made on the risk transmission network before and after those big events.

description: An innovative, displacement-based, seismic design procedure for new and existing planar framed structures considering non-linear fluid viscous dampers, is presented. In this procedure, the damping matrix is approximated by the sum of a classical and a complementary damping matrix, which is representative of a non-classical damping matrix, to apply the conventional modal spectral analysis. The procedure is formulated from basic approximations to concepts of structural dynamics, using the same analysis tools as used in design practice. To calculate the coefficient of non-linear viscous dampers an equivalence is proposed, which is a function of the properties of linear fluid viscous dampers, and parameters obtained from a conventional modal analysis. To illustrate the application of the proposed procedure, example applications and validation of the results obtained via non-linear response history analysis are shown.

description: Optimal structural design is a methodology that optimizes the geometrical characteristics of a structure, for a given set of loads and limit conditions, so that the device meets a predetermined set of objectives. This wind turbine is mainly used in urban environments where wind conditions are different from those of non-urban wind turbines. The purpose of this work is to find the optimal structure that supports the aerodynamic device, with  power of 1500 Watts, in order to reduce the applied stress as much as possible. The design and optimization of the wings will be carried out with software that supports topological optimization, such as ANSYS 2020. In this environment, the distribution of von Mises stresses before and after the removal of material from the original model will be studied. The output of the software was the basis for finding the optimal wing shape. The results of the present work can highlight the value of applying optimal design to a wide range of components and structures.

description: This study looks at how people who discourage certain products might help in sustainable purchasing decisions. It does this by looking at credibility, authenticity, and altruism. The aim of this study is to differentiate the impact of homophily and sustainable lifestyle commitment on behavioral intentions through de-influencers consumer. Based on the ELM model, this study proposes that peripheral cues, such as authenticity and credibility, are key influencers of sustainable consumption behaviour. To test these hypotheses, quantitative methodology was employed with the help of surveys administered to sample 360 respondents. To test the relationships between credibility, authenticity, homophily and sustainable lifestyle commitment and their influence on consumer intentions, structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied. The research team stated that high credibility and authenticity positively influence perceptions of altruism, which in turn positively affects behavioral intentions. This shows how important credibility is in the efforts of an organization. Also, while homophily might encourage you to reach out, it is the commitment to a sustainable lifestyle that will drive long term behavioural change. Marketers and policymakers can make use of de-influencers to boost sustainability efforts and drive change. Managers should work with de influencers who share the target audience’s values. Additionally, policymakers can include de-influencers in public awareness campaigns for better pro-environmental communication. In the future, researchers should investigate cognitive dimension like knowledge outcomes to serve as a complement to the outcomes here, affective and behaviour ones.
Modelling the X-ray power spectra of AGN by using reprocessing echoes from an extended corona
Creators: name: Chainakun, Poemwai
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Characteristic signatures that X-ray reverberation from an extended corona can manifest in the observed PSD of AGN are investigated. The presence of two X-ray blobs illuminating an accretion disc can cause the interference between two reprocessing-echo components and produce distinct physical features in the PSD. The oscillatory structures (e.g., dips and humps) are seen but, contrarily to the lamp-post case, the strongest dip is not always the one at the lowest frequency. Instead, we find the frequency where the strongest dip is seen associates to the lower-source height while the lowest frequency where the first dip appears links with the upper-source height. This is because the reverberation timescales increase with the source height. Accurate modelling of the PSD then helps put constraints to the lower and upper limit of the corona extent. Furthermore, the reverberation signatures are less pronounced with increasing number of sources that do not produce reflection (e.g., additional X-rays from fast, relativistic outflows). The amplitude of the oscillations also depends on the amount of dilution contributed by the X-ray sources, thus encodes information about their relative brightness. Due to stronger dilutions, robust detection of these signatures with the current observations will become even more difficult if the corona is extended. Future observations made by Athena will enable us to fit these characteristics in statistically significant details, and to reveal the nature of the disc-corona system.

description: PRKN/parkin activation through phosphorylation of its ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like domain by PINK1 is critical in mitophagy induction for eliminating the damaged mitochondria. Deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) functionally reversing PRKN ubiquitination are critical in controlling the magnitude of PRKN-mediated mitophagy process. However, potential DUBs that directly target PRKN and antagonize its pro-mitophagy effect remains to be identified and characterized. Here, we demonstrated that USP33/VDU1 is localized at the outer membrane of mitochondria and serves as a PRKN DUB through their interaction. Cellular and in vitro assays illustrated that USP33 deubiquitinates PRKN in a DUB activity-dependent manner. USP33 prefers to remove K6, K11, K48 and K63-linked ubiquitin conjugates from PRKN, and deubiquitinates PRKN mainly at Lys435. Mutation of this site leads to a significantly decreased level of K63-, but not K48-linked PRKN ubiquitination. USP33 deficiency enhanced both K48- and K63-linked PRKN ubiquitination, but only K63-linked PRKN ubiquitination was significantly increased under mitochondrial depolarization. Further, USP33 knockdown increased both PRKN protein stabilization and its translocation to depolarized mitochondria leading to the enhancement of mitophagy. Moreover, USP33 silencing protects SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells from the neurotoxin MPTP-induced apoptotic cell death. Our findings convincingly demonstrate that USP33 is a novel PRKN deubiquitinase antagonizing its regulatory roles in mitophagy and SH-SY5Y neuron-like cell survival. Thus, USP33 inhibition may represents an attractive new therapeutic strategy for PD patients.

description: Deep learning has been successfully applied to several problems related to autonomous driving. Often, these solutions rely on large networks that require databases of real image samples of the problem (i.e., real world) for proper training. The acquisition of such real-world data sets is not always possible in the autonomous driving context, and sometimes their annotation is not feasible (e.g., takes too long or is too expensive). Moreover, in many tasks, there is an intrinsic data imbalance that most learning-based methods struggle to cope with. It turns out that traffic sign detection is a problem in which these three issues are seen altogether. In this work, we propose a novel database generation method that requires only (i) arbitrary natural images, i.e., requires no real image from the domain of interest, and (ii) templates of the traffic signs, i.e., templates synthetically created to illustrate the appearance of the category of a traffic sign. The effortlessly generated training database is shown to be effective for the training of a deep detector (such as Faster R-CNN) on German traffic signs, achieving 95.66% of mAP on average. In addition, the proposed method is able to detect traffic signs with an average precision, recall and F1-score of about 94%, 91% and 93%, respectively. The experiments surprisingly show that detectors can be trained with simple data generation methods and without problem domain data for the background, which is in the opposite direction of the common sense for deep learning.

description: The distribution of differential time delays Δt between images produced by strong gravitational lensing contains information on the mass distributions in the lensing objects as well as on cosmological parameters such as H_0. We derive an explicit expression for the conditional probability distribution function of time delays P(Δt|θ), given an image separation between multiple images θ, and related statistics. We consider lensing halos described by the singular isothermal sphere (SIS) approximation and by its generalization as proposed by Navarro, Frenk, & White (NFW) which has a density profile ρ\propto r^{-α} in the innermost region. The time delay distribution is very sensitive to these profiles; steeper inner slopes tend to produce larger time delays. For example, if H_0=70 km/s/Mpc, a Λ-dominated cosmology and a source redshift z_S=1.27 are assumed, lenses with θ=5'' produce a time delay of Δt[yr]=1.5^{+1.7}_{-0.9}, 0.39^{+0.37}_{-0.22}, 0.15^{+0.11}_{-0.09}, and 0.071^{+0.054}_{-0.038} (50% confidence interval), for SIS, generalized NFW with α=1.5, α=1.0, and α=0.5, respectively. At a fixed image separation, the time delay is determined by the difference in the lensing potential between the position of the two images, which typically occur at different impact parameters. Although the values of Δt are proportional to the inverse of H_0, P(Δt|θ) is rather insensitive to all other cosmological model parameters, source redshifts, magnification biases and so on. A knowledge of P(Δt|θ) will also be useful in designing the observing program of future large scale synoptic variability surveys and for evaluating possible selection biases operating against large splitting lens systems.

description: An unknown absorber near the cloud top level of Venus generates a broad absorption feature from the ultraviolet (UV) to visible, peaking around 360 nm, and therefore plays a critical role in the solar energy absorption. We present a quantitative study on the variability of the cloud albedo at 365 nm and its impact on Venus' solar heating rates based on an analysis of Venus Express and Akatsuki's UV images, and Hubble Space Telescope and MESSENGER's UV spectral data; in this analysis the calibration correction factor of the UV images of Venus Express (VMC) is updated relative to the Hubble and MESSENGER albedo measurements. Our results indicate that the 365-nm albedo varied by a factor of 2 from 2006 to 2017 over the entire planet, producing a 25-40% change in the low latitude solar heating rate according to our radiative transfer calculations. Thus, the cloud top level atmosphere should have experienced considerable solar heating variations over this period. Our global circulation model calculations show that this variable solar heating rate may explain the observed variations of zonal wind from 2006 to 2017. Overlaps in the timescale of the long-term UV albedo and the solar activity variations make it plausible that solar extreme UV intensity and cosmic-ray variations influenced the observed albedo trends. The albedo variations might also be linked with temporal variations of the upper cloud SO2 gas abundance, which affects the H2SO4-H2O aerosol formation.

description: Substantial evidence in the last few decades suggests that outflows from supermassive black holes (SMBH) may play a significant role in the evolution of galaxies.Large-scale outflows known as warm absorbers (WA) and fast disk winds known as ultra-fast outflows (UFO) are commonly found in the spectra of many Seyfert galaxies and quasars, and a correlation has been suggested between them. Recent detections of low ionization and low column density outflows, but with a high velocity comparable to UFOs, challenge such initial possible correlations. Observations of UFOs in AGN indicate that their energetics may be enough to have an impact on the interstellar medium (ISM). However, observational evidence of the interaction between the inner high-ionization outflow and the ISM is still missing. We present here the spectral analysis of 12 XMM-Newton/EPIC archival observations of the quasar PG 1114+445, aimed at studying the complex outflowing nature of its absorbers. Our analysis revealed the presence of three absorbing structures. We find a WA with velocity $v\sim530$ km s$^{-1}$, ionization $\logξ/\text{erg cm s}^{-1}\sim0.35,$ and column density $\log N_\text{H}/\text{cm}^{-2}\sim22$, and a UFO with $v_\text{out}\sim0.145c$, $\logξ/\text{erg cm s}^{-1}\sim4$, and $\log N_\text{H}/\text{cm}^{-2}\sim23$. We also find an additional absorber in the soft X-rays ($E<2$ keV) with velocity comparable to that of the UFO ($v_\text{out}\sim0.120c$), but ionization ($\logξ/\text{erg cm s}^{-1}\sim0.5$) and column density ($\log N_\text{H}/\text{cm}^{-2}\sim21.5$) comparable with those of the WA. The ionization, velocity, and variability of the three absorbers indicate an origin in a multiphase and multiscale outflow, consistent with entrainment of the clumpy ISM by an inner UFO moving at $\sim15\%$ the speed of light, producing an entrained ultra-fast outflow (E-UFO).

description: We present an X-ray investigation of the elliptical galaxy NGC 507. We make use of archival Rosat HRI, PSPC and Chandra data, to connect the large-scale structure of the halo to the core morphology. Our analysis shows that the halo core (r<2-3 r_e) and the external halo (r>3 r_e) are characterised by different dynamical properties and suggests a different origin of the two components. The halo core has a complex morphology with a main X-ray emission peak, coincident with the center of the optical galaxy, and several secondary peaks. The spatial and spectral analysis of the central peak shows that this feature is produced by denser hot gas in the galaxy core. Our data support the scenario where the gas is kinetically heated by stellar mass losses. Comparison with previously published studies suggest that the core of X-ray extended galaxies is associated to the stellar distribution and has similar properties to the X-ray halo of compact galaxies. The secondary peaks are due instead to interactions between the radio-emitting plasma and the surrounding ISM. We found that the energy input by the central radio source in the ISM may be large enough to prevent gas from cooling. The total mass profile shows the presence of a dark matter halo extending on cluster scales which is likely to be associated with the whole cluster rather than with NGC 507. This structure is typical of many X-ray bright Early-Type galaxies and may explain the spatial and spectral differences with X-ray compact galaxies largely debated in literature. Finally we discuss the nature of the point sources detected in the HRI FOV.

description: Objective. To evaluate serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of phosphorylated neurofilament heavy (pNfH), and to compare these to levels of neurofilament light (NfL), as biomarkers of pre-symptomatic ALS. Design. The study population includes 34 controls, 79 individuals at-risk for ALS, 22 ALS patients, and 14 phenoconverters. At-risk individuals are enrolled through Pre-Symptomatic Familial ALS (Pre-fALS), a longitudinal natural history and biomarker study of individuals who are carriers of any ALS-associated gene mutation, but who demonstrate no clinical evidence of disease at the time of enrollment. pNfH and NfL in serum and CSF were quantified using established enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Results. There is a longitudinal increase in serum pNfH in advance of the emergence of clinically manifest ALS. A similar pattern is observed for NfL, but with the absolute levels also frequently exceeding a normative threshold. Although CSF data are more sparse, similar patterns are observed for both neurofilaments, with absolute levels exceeding a normative threshold prior to phenoconversion. In serum, these changes are observed in the 6–12 months prior to disease among SOD1 A4V mutation carriers, and as far back as 2 and 3.5 years, respectively, in individuals with a FUS c.521del6 mutation and a C9ORF72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion. Conclusions. Serum and CSF pNfH increase prior to phenoconversion. In CSF, the temporal course of these changes is similar to NfL. In serum, however, pNfH is less sensitive to pre-symptomatic disease than NfL. The duration of pre-symptomatic disease, as defined by changes in neurofilaments, may vary depending on underlying genotype.

description: We experimentally demonstrate a bias-free optical quantum random number generator with real-time randomness extraction to directly output uniform distributed random numbers by measuring the vacuum fluctuation of quantum state. A phase modulator is utilized in the scheme to effectively reduce the influence of deviations between two arms of the generator caused by the imperfect practical devices, which is an innovative solution in the field of quantum random number generator. In the case where the feedback modulation frequency is much faster than the phase jitter, an unbiased result can be obtained by an additional subtraction between the compensation signal and its average value to eliminate residual deviation. A following randomness extractor is applied to eliminate the influence of residual side information introduced by the imperfect devices in practical system.

Planet Formation in the Outer Solar System

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper reviews coagulation models for planet formation in the Kuiper Belt, emphasizing links to recent observations of our and other solar systems. At heliocentric distances of 35-50 AU, single annulus and multiannulus planetesimal accretion calculations produce several 1000 km or larger planets and many 50-500 km objects on timescales of 10-30 Myr in a Minimum Mass Solar Nebula. Planets form more rapidly in more massive nebulae. All models yield two power law cumulative size distributions, N_C propto r^{-q} with q = 3.0-3.5 for radii larger than 10 km and N_C propto r^{-2.5} for radii less than 1 km. These size distributions are consistent with observations of Kuiper Belt objects acquired during the past decade. Once large objects form at 35-50 AU, gravitational stirring leads to a collisional cascade where 0.1-10 km objects are ground to dust. The collisional cascade removes 80% to 90% of the initial mass in the nebula in roughly 1 Gyr. This dust production rate is comparable to rates inferred for alpha Lyr, beta Pic, and other extrasolar debris disk systems.

description: Within the materials deposition techniques, Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition (SALD) is gaining momentum since it is a high throughput and low-cost alternative to conventional atomic layer deposition (ALD). SALD relies on a physical separation (rather than temporal separation, as is the case in conventional ALD) of gas-diluted reactants over the surface of the substrate by a region containing an inert gas. Thus, fluid dynamics play a role in SALD since precursor intermixing must be avoided in order to have surface-limited reactions leading to ALD growth, as opposed to chemical vapor deposition growth (CVD). Fluid dynamics in SALD mainly depends on the geometry of the reactor and its components. To quantify and understand the parameters that may influence the deposition of films in SALD, the present contribution describes a Computational Fluid Dynamics simulation that was coupled, using Comsol Multiphysics®, with concentration diffusion and temperature-based surface chemical reactions to evaluate how different parameters influence precursor spatial separation. In particular, we have used the simulation of a close-proximity SALD reactor based on an injector manifold head. We show the effect of certain parameters in our system on the efficiency of the gas separation. Our results show that the injector head-substrate distance (also called deposition gap) needs to be carefully adjusted to prevent precursor intermixing and thus CVD growth. We also demonstrate that hindered flow due to a non-efficient evacuation of the flows through the head leads to precursor intermixing. Finally, we show that precursor intermixing can be used to perform area-selective deposition.
