description: We present a new measurement of the systemic proper motion of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), based on an expanded set of 30 fields containing background quasars and spanning a $\sim$3 year baseline, using the \textit{Hubble Space Telescope} (\textit{HST}) Wide Field Camera 3. Combining this data with our previous 5 \textit{HST} fields, and an additional 8 measurements from the \textit{Gaia}-Tycho Astrometric Solution Catalog, brings us to a total of 43 SMC fields. We measure a systemic motion of $μ_{W}$ = $-0.82$ $\pm$ 0.02 (random) $\pm$ 0.10 (systematic) mas yr$^{-1}$ and $μ_{N}$ = $-1.21$ $\pm$ 0.01 (random) $\pm$ 0.03 (systematic) mas yr$^{-1}$. After subtraction of the systemic motion, we find little evidence for rotation, but find an ordered mean motion radially away from the SMC in the outer regions of the galaxy, indicating that the SMC is in the process of tidal disruption. We model the past interactions of the Clouds with each other based on the measured present-day relative velocity between them of $103 \pm 26$ km s$^{-1}$. We find that in 97\% of our considered cases, the Clouds experienced a direct collision $147 \pm 33$ Myr ago, with a mean impact parameter of $7.5 \pm 2.5$ kpc.

description: We examine the prospects for observing weak flavour-changing neutral current (FCNC) decays of \B\ mesons at hadron colliders, including effects of anomalous $WWZ$~vertices. Since it is very difficult to measure the inclusive rate $B \rightarrow X_s \, \lp \lm$ one should consider exclusive modes such as \BKsmumu\ and \BKmumu. Even though this requires one to compute hadronic matrix elements, we show that experimentally observable quantities (ratios of decay rates) are not strongly parametrisation dependent. Some possibilities for reducing the theoretical uncertainties from other experimental data are discussed.

description: In braneworld models coming from string theory one generally encounters massless scalar degrees of freedom -moduli- parameterizing the volume of small compact extra-dimensions. Here we discuss the effects of such moduli on Newton's law for a fairly general 5-D supersymmetric braneworld scenario with a bulk scalar field $ϕ$. We show that the Newtonian potential describing the gravitational interaction between two bodies localized on the visible brane picks up a non-trivial contribution at short distances that depends on the shape of the superpotential $W(ϕ)$ of the theory. In particular, we compute this contribution for dilatonic braneworld scenarios $W(ϕ) = e^{αϕ}$ (where $α$ is a constant) and discuss the particular case of 5-D Heterotic M-theory.

description: As you know, the United States will again run a current account deficit of between 3 and 4% of GDP. This is a large deficit for a mature economy like ours, and it follows a similar current account deficit last year. The size of the deficit shows the willingness of foreigners to invest in our dynamic economy and America's opportunity — both households and businesses — to buy quality products at competitive prices abroad.

description: We systematically analyse the gluonic penguin-induced charmless decays $B \ra K_Xϕ$($K_X$ denotes the meson state $s\bar q \;(q=u\ {\rm or}\ d)$ ), in the standard model and the two-Higgs-doublet model. These processes, being induced at one-loop level, are of great importance in measuring the virtual top quark effect in the standard model, and also in searching for the non-standard signals in the low energy region. It is shown that the QCD effect is also significant in these processes, as in the weak radiative processes $B \ra X_s γ$. We also show that the charged Higgs contribution can not provide sizable enhancements for the decays $B \ra K_Xϕ$, in contrast to the decays $B \ra K_Xγ$. It is also found that processes such as $B \ra K_1(1400)ϕ$ and $B \ra K(1460)ϕ$ have large branching fractions among $B \ra K_Xϕ$ decays.

Non-self-averaging behaviors and ergodicity in quenched trap model with finite system size

description: Tracking tracer particles in heterogeneous environments plays an important role in unraveling the material properties. These heterogeneous structures are often static and depend on the sample realizations. Sample-to-sample fluctuations of such disorder realizations sometimes become considerably large. When we investigate the sample-to-sample fluctuations, fundamental averaging procedures are a thermal average for a single disorder realization and the disorder average for different disorder realizations. Here, we report on non-self-averaging phenomena in quenched trap models with finite system sizes, where we consider the periodic and the reflecting boundary conditions. Sample-to-sample fluctuations of diffusivity greatly exceeds trajectory-to-trajectory fluctuations of diffusivity in the corresponding annealed model. For a single disorder realization, the time-averaged mean square displacement and position-dependent observables converge to constants with the aid of the existence of the equilibrium distribution. This is a manifestation of ergodicity. As a result, the time-averaged quantities do not depend on the initial condition nor on the thermal histories but depend crucially on the disorder realization.

On seams and edges: dreams of aggregation, access and discovery in a broken world

description: Visions of technological utopia often portray an increasingly 'seamless' world, where technology integrates experience across space and time. Edges are blurred as we move easily between devices and contexts, between the digital and the physical.

 But Mark Weiser, one of the pioneers of ubiquitous computing, questioned the idea of seamlessness, arguing instead for 'beautiful seams' – exposed edges that encouraged questions and the exploration of connections and meanings.

 With discovery services and software vendors still promoting 'seamless discovery' as one of their major selling points, it seems the value of seams and edges requires further discussion. As we imagine the future of a service such as Trove, how do we balance the benefits of consistency, coordination and centralisation against the reality of a fragmented, unequal, and fundamentally broken world.

 This paper will examine the rhetoric of 'seamlessness' in the world of discovery services, focusing in particular on the possibilities and problems facing Trove. By analysing both the literature around discovery, and the data about user behaviours currently available through Trove, I intend to expose the edges of meaning-making and explore the role of technology in both inhibiting and enriching experience.

 How does our dream of comprehensiveness mask the biases in our collections? How do new tools for visualisation reinforce the invisibility of the missing and excluded? How do the assumptions of 'access' direct attention away from practical barriers to participation?

 How does the very idea of systems and services, of complex and powerful 'machines' ready to do our bidding, discourage us from seeing the many, fragile acts of collaboration, connection, interpretation, and repair that hold these systems together?

 Trove is an aggregator and a community. A collection of metadata and a platform for engagement. But as we imagine its future, how do avoid the rhetoric of technological power, and expose its seams and edges to scrutiny.

description: The time evolution of Earth with her cities, languages and countries is considered in terms of the multiplicative noise and the fragmentation- processes, where the related families, size distributions, lifetimes, bilinguals, etc. are studied. Earlier we treated the cities and the languages differently (and as connected; languages split since cities split, etc.). Hence, two dis- tributions are obtained in the same computation at the same time. The same approach is followed here and Pareto-Zipf law for the distribution of the cities, log-normal for the languages, decreasing exponential for the city families (countries) in the rank order over population, and power law -2 for the language families over the number of languages in rank order are obtained theoretically in this combination for the first time (up to our knowledge) in the literature; all of which are in good agreement with the present empirical data.

description: We study the impact of finite-size effects on the security of thermal one-way quantum cryptography. Our approach considers coherent/squeezed states at the preparation stage, on the top of which the sender adds trusted thermal noise. We compute the key rate incorporating finite-size effects, and we obtain the security threshold at different frequencies. As expected finite-size effects deteriorate the performance of thermal quantum cryptography. Our analysis is useful to quantify the impact of this degradation on relevant parameters like tolerable attenuation, transmission frequencies at which one can achieve security.

description: We investigate the spectrum of the free Neuberger-Dirac operator $\Dov$ on the Schrödinger functional (SF). We check that the lowest few eigen-values of the Hermitian operator $\Dov^†\Dov$ in unit of $L^{-2}$ converge to the continuum limit properly. We also perform a one-loop calculation of the SF coupling, and then check the universality and investigate lattice artifacts of the step scaling function. It turns out that the lattice artifacts for the Neuberger-Dirac operator are comparable in those of the clover action.

Dynamic mode decomposition using a Kalman filter for parameter estimation

description: A novel dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) method based on a Kalman filter is proposed. This paper explains the fast algorithm of the proposed Kalman filter DMD (KFDMD) in combination with truncated proper orthogonal decomposition for many-degree-of-freedom problems. Numerical experiments reveal that KFDMD can estimate eigenmodes more precisely compared with standard DMD or total least-squares DMD (tlsDMD) methods for the severe noise condition if the nature of the observation noise is known, though tlsDMD works better than KFDMD in the low and medium noise level. Moreover, KFDMD can track the eigenmodes precisely even when the system matrix varies with time similar to online DMD, and this extension is naturally conducted owing to the characteristics of the Kalman filter. In summary, the KFDMD is a promising tool with strong antinoise characteristics for analyzing sequential datasets.
Coupled quintessence with a $Λ$CDM background: removing the $σ_8$ tension

description: A well-known problem of the $Λ$CDM model is the tension between the relatively high level of clustering, as quantified by the parameter $σ_8$, found in cosmic microwave background experiments and the smaller one obtained from large-scale observations in the late Universe. In this paper we show that coupled quintessence, i.e. a single dark energy scalar field conformally coupled to dark matter through a constant coupling, can solve this problem if the background is taken to be identical to the $Λ$CDM one. We show that two competing effects arise. On one hand, the additional scalar force is attractive, and is therefore expected to increase the clustering. On the other, in order to obtain the same background as $Λ$CDM, coupled quintessence must have a smaller amount of dark matter near the present epoch. We show that the second effect is dominating today and leads to an overall slower growth. Comparing to redshift distortion data, we find that coupled quintessence with $Λ$CDM background solves the tension between early and late clustering. We find for the coupling $β$ and for $σ_8$ the best fit values $|β| = 0.079^{+ 0.059}_{- 0.067}$ and $σ_8 = 0.818^{+0.115}_{-0.088}$. These values also fit the lensing data from the KiDS-450 survey. We also estimate that the future missions SKA and Euclid will constrain $β$ with an error of $\pm\, 1.5\times10^{-3}$ and for $σ_8$ of $\pm \,1.8\times10^{-3}$ at $1σ$ level.

By using a general theorem on asymptotic expansions of Feynman diagrams, the coefficients of the expansion are calculated analytically. For some two-loop diagrams occurring in the Standard Model, comparison with results of numerical integration shows that our expansion works well in the region above the highest physical threshold.

description: ALL financial institutions in the United States are regulated to greater or lesser extent and are encumbered with restrictions that range from regulation of entry to restrictions on the purchase of particular assets and of the rate of interest paid on particular liabilities (Gies, Mayer, and Ettin, 1963). The owners of financial institutions are, in part, compensated by special treatment under the tax laws (Keith, 1963), so that the net effect of governmental laws and decisions on the volume of assets invested in financial institutions—as well as the relative effect on the various specialized institutions—is difficult to calculate. The effect on resource allocation of these restrictions and tax shelters is unknown also.
The role of physiologically-based kinetic (PBK) models within the new approach methodologies framework for predicting cardiotoxicity
Creators: name: Gehring, Ronette
name: Roos, Tom
name: Zhang, Zhicheng
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The functional outcomes of cardiotoxicity are cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias and heart failure. The latter occurs when the function of the heart is compromised to the extent that it can no longer pump enough blood to oxygenate the organs of the body. Ultimately, this can lead to death. These functional outcomes cannot be measured in vitro. Instead, biomarkers of key events at the cellular and tissue level, which are associated with these outcomes, are measured [1]. The challenge is to understand how the resultant in vitro concentration-response curves can be interpreted to give meaningful predictions of adverse outcomes in humans, both on the individual and the population level.

Physiologically-based kinetic (PBK) models are deterministic computational models that use differential equations to capture and describe the biokinetics of chemical compounds. Their typical application is to predict the concentration of chemical compounds at their site of action at specified times following known exposures. PBK models range from comprehensive whole-body models to more detailed models of specific organs and tissues.

There is rising recognition of the value of PBK models within the new approach methodology (NAM) framework for predicting toxicity [2]. For example, they are used to translate the concentration-response curves that are measured in vitro to in vivo dose-response curves (iterative forward dosimetry). This is an essential step towards determining a Benchmark Dose (BMD) or a No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for regulatory purposes. They are also used to reconstruct in vivo exposures by combining biomonitoring data and in vitro concentration-response curves (reverse dosimetry).

In this presentation, we will examine how PBK models have been used in chemical risk assessment for cardiotoxicity. We will then proceed to discuss how these models can be refined given current knowledge of the adverse outcome pathways for cardiotoxicity, and the biomarkers that can be measured in advanced in vitro models.
On the age heterogeneity of the Pleiades, Hyades and Sirius moving groups

description: We investigate the nature of the classical low-velocity structures in the local velocity field, i.e. the Pleiades, Hyades and Sirius moving groups. After using a wavelet transform to locate them in velocity space, we study their relation with the open clusters kinematically associated with them. By directly comparing the location of moving group stars in parallax space to the isochrones of the embedded clusters, we check whether, within the observational errors on the parallax, all moving group stars could originate from the on-going evaporation of the associated cluster. We conclude that, in each moving group, the fraction of stars making up the velocity-space overdensity superimposed on the background is higher than the fraction of stars compatible with the isochrone of the associated cluster. These observations thus favour a dynamical (resonant) origin for the Pleiades, Hyades and Sirius moving groups.

description: In this paper we apply a reduced basis framework for the computation of flow bifurcation (and stability) problems in fluid dynamics. The proposed method aims at reducing the complexity and the computational time required for the construction of bifurcation and stability diagrams. The method is quite general since it can in principle be specialized to a wide class of nonlinear problems, but in this work we focus on an application in incompressible fluid dynamics at low Reynolds numbers. The validation of the reduced order model with the full order computation for a benchmark cavity flow problem is promising.

Low-Level Environmental Radiation and U.S. Mortality

description: An approach to an association between environmental radiation and mortality rates is investigated for 61 U.S. cities for the years 1961 to 1967. Environmental radiation is measured by weapons fallout (90Sr, 131I, 137Cs , 140Ba , and 89sr) and by cosmic radiation. Other factors known to affect mortality rates are entered in the analysis, including air pollution and socioeconomic factors. Multiple regression techniques . are used to relate each mortality rate (total, infants under one year, infants under 28 days, and fetuses) to the radiation, air pollution, and socioeconomic variables. A series of specifications is developed in an attempt to account for important missing variables and other specification errors. In spite of·these specification errors, poor data, and theoretical 90SR and 137Cs . difficulties, the levels of Sr and Cs in milk are found to be associated with the mortality rates in a consistent, stable, and important fashion. Although these results do not prove that environmental radiation causes increased mortality they do indicate that it would be unreasonable to rule out the existence of such a relationship. The paper concludes with a call for the collection of more consistent, relevant, and comprehensive data to enable a better understanding and more precise estimation of this association.

description: Ultracold ground-state molecules can be formed from ultracold atoms via photoassociation followed by a spontaneous emission process. Typically, the molecular products are distributed over a range of final states. Here, we propose to use an optical cavity with high cooperativity to selectively enhance the population of a pre-determined final state by controlling the spontaneous emission. During this process, a photon will be emitted into the cavity mode. Detection of this photon heralds a single reaction. We discuss the efficiency and the dynamics of cavity-assisted molecule formation in the frame of realistic parameters that can be achieved in current ultracold-atom setups. In particular, we consider the production of Rb$_2$ molecules in the $a^3Σ_u$ triplet ground state. Moreover, when working with more than two atoms in the cavity, collective enhancement effects in chemistry should be observable.

description: This study alleviates the low operating temperature constraint of Si qubits. A qubit is a key element for quantum sensors, memories, and computers. Electron spin in Si is a promising qubit, as it allows both long coherence times and potential compatibility with current silicon technology. Si qubits have been implemented using gate-defined quantum dots or shallow impurities. However, operation of Si qubits has been restricted to milli-Kelvin temperatures, thus limiting the application of the quantum technology. In this study, we addressed a single deep impurity, having strong electron confinement of up to 0.3 eV, using single-electron tunnelling transport. We also achieved qubit operation at 5-10 K through a spin-blockade effect based on the tunnelling transport via two impurities. The deep impurity was implemented by tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) instead of conventional FETs. With further improvement in fabrication and controllability, this work presents the possibility of operating silicon spin qubits at elevated temperatures.

description: For all the success of the Standard Model (SM), it is on the verge of being surpassed. In this regard we argue, by showing a minimal flavor-structured model based on the non-Abelian discrete $SL_2(F_3)$ symmetry, that $U(1)$ mixed-gravitational anomaly cancellation could be of central importance in constraining the fermion contents of a new chiral gauge theory. Such anomaly-free condition together with the SM flavor structure demands a condition $k_1\,X_1/2=k_2\,X_2$ with $X_i$ being a charge of $U(1)_{X_i}$ and $k_i$ being an integer, both of which are flavor dependent. We show that axionic domain-wall condition $N_{\rm DW}$ with the anomaly free-condition depends on both $U(1)_X$ charged quark and lepton flavors; the seesaw scale congruent to the scale of Peccei-Quinn symmetry breakdown can be constrained through constraints coming from astrophysics and particle physics. Then the model extended by $SL_2(F_3)\times U(1)_X$ symmetry can well be flavor-structured in a unique way that $N_{\rm DW}=1$ with the $U(1)_X$ mixed-gravitational anomaly-free condition demands additional Majorana fermion and the flavor puzzles of SM are well delineated by new expansion parameters expressed in terms of $U(1)_X$ charges and $U(1)_X$-$[SU(3)_C]^2$ anomaly coefficients. And the model provides remarkable results on neutrino (hierarchical mass spectra and unmeasurable neutrinoless-double-beta decay rate together with the predictions on atmospheric mixing angle and leptonic Dirac CP phase favored by the recent long-baseline neutrino experiments), QCD axion, and flavored-axion.

description: This chapter describes a simple method for parking occupancy detection and an automatic parking slot delineation method using CCTV images. These methods will be presented in the form of MATLAB tutorials with code snippets to allow the interested reader to implement the method and obtain results on a sample dataset. The first tutorial will involve fine-tuning a pre-trained deep neural network for vehicle detection in a sequence of CCTV camera images to determine the occupancy of the parking spaces. In the second tutorial, we perform spatio-temporal analysis of the detections made by a state-of-the-art deep learning object detector (Faster-RCNN) for automatic parking slot delineation. The dataset and the code is made public at https://github.com/DebadityaRMIT/Parking.

description: Solar magnetic fields evolve on many time-scales, e.g., the generation, migration, and dissipation of magnetic flux during the 22-year magnetic cycle of the Sun. Active regions develop and decay over periods of weeks. The build-up of magnetic shear in active regions can occur within less than a day. At the shortest time-scales, the magnetic field topology can change rapidly within a few minutes as the result of eruptive events such as flares, filament eruptions, and coronal mass ejections. The unique daytime seeing characteristics at Dome C, i.e., continuous periods of very good to excellent seeing during almost the entire Antarctic summer, allow us to address many of the top science cases related to the evolution of solar magnetic fields. We introduce the Advanced Solar Photometric Imager and Radiation Experiment and present the science cases for synoptic solar observations at Dome C. Furthermore, common science cases concerning the solar-stellar connection are discussed in the context of the proposed International Concordia Explorer Telescope.

description: Mapping urban parking spaces helps drivers to reduce their search and cruising for parking, thus reducing traffic, reducing emissions, and reducing total travel times. Mapped urban parking spaces can also be monitored for real-time occupancy information. But while many cities in Asia, Africa, and Latin America are experiencing a strong increase of private car use on the roads, they typically lack such reliable information regarding on-street parking spaces. Hence, in this chapter we explore globally applicable mapping methods for on-street parking locations, as a first step towards smart parking (for an alternative approach see Chapter 11).

description: We present CELESTIAL, a framework for formally verifying smart contracts written in the Solidity language for the Ethereum blockchain. CELESTIAL allows programmers to write expressive functional specifications for their contracts. It translates the contracts and the specifications to F⋆ to formally verify, against an F⋆ model of the blockchain semantics, that the contracts meet their specifications. Once the verification succeeds, CELESTIAL performs an erasure of the specifications to generate Solidity code for execution on the Ethereum blockchain. We use CELESTIAL to verify several real-world smart contracts from different application domains. Our experience shows that CELESTIAL is a valuable tool for writing high-assurance smart contracts.

description: We consider a family, depending on a parameter, of multiplicative extensions of an elliptic curve with complex multiplications. They form a 3-dimensional variety $G$ which admits a dense set of special curves, known as Ribet curves, which strictly contains the torsion curves. We show that an irreducible curve $W$ in $G$ meets this set Zariski-densely only if $W$ lies in a fiber of the family or is a translate of a Ribet curve by a multiplicative section. We further deduce from this result a proof of the Zilber-Pink conjecture (over number fields) for the mixed Shimura variety attached to the threefold $G$, when the parameter space is the universal one.

description: Arguments are developed concerning a number of topics including long-run monetary neutrality, superneutrality, the natural-rate hypothesis, the quantity theory of money, the equation of exchange, the Fisher equation, and purchasing power parity. These are basic, fundamental topics that all students of monetary economics refer to frequently, but there is evidently considerable disagreement concerning their exact nature. Some of the disagreement has likely been generated by the recent practice by monetary economists of conducting monetary policy analysis in models that include no mention of any monetary variable such as M1 or the monetary base-thereby reflecting the actual policy practice of most central banks. It is argued that these models are consistent in most important ways with highly traditional monetary analysis. More generally, relationships among the various topics are developed and the validity of empirical tests (e.g., cointegration tests) relating to several of the topics are reconsidered.

description: We have combined neutron scattering and piezoresponse force microscopy to study the relation between the exchange bias observed in CoFeB/BiFeO3 heterostructures and the multiferroic domain structure of the BiFeO3 films. We show that the exchange field scales with the inverse of the ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic domain size, as expected from Malozemoff's model of exchange bias extended to multiferroics. Accordingly, polarized neutron reflectometry reveals the presence of uncompensated spins in the BiFeO3 film at the interface with the CoFeB. In view of these results we discuss possible strategies to switch the magnetization of a ferromagnet by an electric field using BiFeO3.

description: The paper develops and tests a general equilibrium model in which variability or risk, affects the choice of portfolios. Our measures of variability include only the variability of unanticipated growth in monetary and non-monetary aggregates, and our tests use data ending with the change in Federal Reserve procedures in October 1979. We find that increased variability of unanticipated money growth raises demands for debt and money, and reduces the demand for real capital. Interest rates on both short- and long-term debt rise by a risk premium We estimate the size of the risk premium before and after the October 1979 change, and we show that the change in Federal Reserve procedures moved the economy to a less efficient point.

description: This tutorial describes a logic-based approach to formulating and solving pure and mixed integer programming problems. It develops logical counterparts for ideas associated with traditional branch-and-cut methods, such as cutting planes, facet-defining cuts, relaxations, etc. The motivations for doing this are a) to exploit the structure of a wide range of problems that are too complex for polyhedral analysis, b) to take advantage of logic processing techniques developed for constraint programming and logic programming, and c) to provide a unified approach to solving the growing number of problems with both qualitative and quantitative elements

description: In this note we expand on our previous study of the implications of LEP1 results for future colliders. We extend the effective operator-based analysis of De Rújula et al. to a larger symmetry group, and show at which cost their expectations can be relaxed. Of particular interest to experiment is a rephrasing of our previous results in terms of the Renard et al. parametrization for the gauge boson self-couplings (slightly extended to include $δg_γ$). We suggest the use of a ($δg_γ$, $δg_{Z}$) plot to confront the expectations of various models.
