description: Armillaria fungi are frequently documented as economically and ecologically significant plant pathogens, recognised as the causal agents of Armillaria root rot disease. Armillaria mellea is one of the most aggressive pathogens in the Armillaria genus. None of the chemicals tested against Armillaria have been effective in fully eradicating an established A. mellea mycelium from an infection site and/or preventing plant mortality, which makes studies about the chemical sensitivity of A. mellea essential. In this work, the inhibitory effects of 120 different chemical agents on the growth rate of A. mellea were examined using the Biolog Phenotype MicroArray system of chemical sensitivity panels. Among the tested substances, aromatic and membrane function compounds showed the highest inhibitory activity against A. mellea. Interestingly, our results demonstrated promising potential for application of caffeine as an A. mellea-oriented fungicide. Further studies were conducted to explore the antifungal activity of a low-cost and locally available caffeine-rich waste, i.e. spent coffee grounds (SCG) against A. mellea. It is noteworthy that the hyphal growth of A. mellea was significantly inhibited when cultivated on malt extract agar supplemented with SCG. Current findings uncovered, for the first time, the potential use of caffeine-rich wastes for designing management strategies to practically control the spread of A. mellea.

description: Insertions and deletions (indels) of short DNA segments are common evolutionary events. Numerous studies showed that deletions occur more often than insertions in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It raises the question why neutral sequences are not eradicated from the genome. We suggest that this is due to a phenomenon we term border-induced selection. Accordingly, a neutral sequence is bordered between conserved regions. Deletions occurring near the borders occasionally protrude to the conserved region and are thereby subject to strong purifying selection. Thus, for short neutral sequences, an insertion bias is expected. Here, we develop a set of increasingly complex models of indel dynamics that incorporate border-induced selection. Furthermore, we show that short conserved sequences within the neutrally evolving sequence help explain: (i) the presence of very long sequences; (ii) the high variance of sequence lengths; and (iii) the possible emergence of multimodality in sequence length distributions. Finally, we fitted our models to the human intron length distribution, as introns are thought to be mostly neutral and bordered by conserved exons. We show that when accounting for the occurrence of short conserved sequences within introns, we reproduce the main features, including the presence of long introns and the multi-modality of intron distribution.

description: Motivated by experimental progress in the growth of heavy transition metal oxides, we theoretically study a class of lattice models of interacting fermions with strong spin-orbit coupling. Focusing on interactions of intermediate strength, we derive a low-energy effective field theory for a fully gapped, topologically ordered, fractionalized state with an eight-fold ground-state degeneracy. This state is a fermionic symmetry-enriched topological phase with particle-number conservation and time-reversal symmetry. The topological terms in the effective field theory describe a quantized magnetoelectric response and nontrivial mutual braiding statistics of dynamical extended vortex loops with emergent fermions in the bulk. We explicitly compute the expected mutual statistics in a specific model on the pyrochlore lattice within a slave-particle mean-field theory. We argue that our model also provides a possible condensed-matter realization of oblique confinement.

description: Although Valle-Inclán’s work is incontrovertibly considered to be of great importance among the Generación del 98, his poetry has only been subject to literary studies on a minor scale. This article tries to decipher the complex semantic matrix of the sonnet Rosa de Saulo by making use of the Nietzschean opposition Apollonian/Dionysian. By doing that, it becomes clear that Rosa de Saulo has wide-ranging religious and mythological implications and is therefore to a high degree intertextual. It takes its place both among other works of Valle-Inclán such as Aromas de Leyenda or Luces the bohemia and among the canon of Spanish literature and art (e.g. Cervantes, Quevedo, Goya). Furthermore, by using Nietzsche’s artistic opposition as a means of analysing literature, the grotesque character of the sonnet becomes evident.

description: Before a cell divides into two daughter cells, chromosomes are replicated resulting in two sister chromosomes embracing each other. Each sister chromosome is bound to a separate proteinous structure, called kinetochore (kt), that captures the tip of a filamentous protein, called microtubule (MT). Two oppositely oriented MTs pull the two kts attached to two sister chromosomes thereby pulling the two sisters away from each other. Here we theoretically study an even simpler system, namely an isolated kt coupled to a single MT; this system mimics an {\it in-vitro} experiment where a single kt-MT attachment is reconstituted using purified extracts from budding yeast. Our models not only account for the experimentally observed "catch-bond-like" behavior of the kt-MT coupling, but also make new predictions on the probability distribution of the lifetimes of the attachments. In principle, our new predictions can be tested by analyzing the data collected in the {\it in-vitro} experiments provided the experiment is repeated sufficiently large number of times. Our theory provides a deep insight into the effects of (a) size, (b) energetics, and (c) stochastic kinetics of the kt-MT coupling on the distribution of the lifetimes of these attachments.

description: How did « feminist » or « gender studies » emerge and consolidate in France and Germany? What precise role did North American concepts, such as the sex/gender split, play? In what ways do translations and divergent epistemological traditions continue to profoundly influence feminist and/or gender approaches to the French Enlightenment Novel? We first explore this matter by investigating the etymological origins of gender/genre/Geschlecht and interrogating whether these terms are in fact interchangeable and thereby translatable. We then go on to retrace the evolution of these terms within the American, French and German feminist traditions and analyze how the distinction between sex and gender was received by German und French literary scholars. In conclusion, we consider feminist and gender approaches applied by French and German speaking scholars to French eighteenth century literature – and especially to studies of the libertine novel.

description: The naked body occupies a prominent role in Michel de Montaigne’s Essais. Addressing himself to his reader, the author expresses his desire for immediate self-representation with the idea of getting rid of his clothes. This undressing self-exhibition is not the only nudist scene in Montaigne’s writings. This contribution will explore two essays in which the bare body gains special importance, “De l’usage de se vestir” (I. 36) and “Des cannibales” (I. 31). Nudity proves to be not a simple sign of an original state of man before civilization, used by Montaigne to critique his own civilization in a cynic or enlightened matter. Rather, nudity is part of the complex process of constructing textual meaning in which Montaigne remains always aware of his own subjectivity and its uncertain constitution.

description: Cosmological perturbation theory is the theory of fluctuations (scalar as well as tensor) around the inflationary cosmological background solution. It is important to understand the details of the process of renormalization in this theory. In more familiar applications of quantum field theory, the dependence on the external momenta of the dimensionally regulated expression of the one-loop contribution to a correlator determines the number of counter terms (and their forms) required to renormalize it. In this work, it is pointed out that in cosmological perturbation theory, though this still happens, it happens in a completely different way such that in the late time limit, the information about the number and forms of counter terms required gets erased. This is to be compared with what happens in spontaneous symmetry breaking where the use of fluctuation fields around a chosen vacuum seems to suggest that more counter terms shall be needed to renormalize the theory than are actually required. We also comment on how the field strength of curvature perturbation, $ζ$, could get renormalized.

description: Although the word melancholy and the name of the Roman god Saturn are never explicitly mentioned in Guillermo del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), the film makes many visual and auditory references to them. This article shows and analyzes these iconographic references, i.e., the motifs and symbols that allude to this temperament and god in the film, and offers an interpretation of them in this new context. In order to do so, we will take into account some of the categories proposed by Klibansky, Panofsky and Saxl (1992) in their analysis of the copperplate engraving Melancolia I (1514) of the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer and add some relevant ones.

description: Fictional treatments of the Falklands War tend to subvert the typical “Nationalist Story” ( “el Gran Relato Argentino”) by deconstructing the nationalist myths that serve to create a common identity. By undermining the “epic narrative,” these works question the “war hero” figure, who embodies the country’s values. In place of the war hero, these works present instead rogues and anti-heroes. Carlos Gamerro’s Las Islas, however, goes further, mixing farce in with war drama. In this sense, the novel also formulates the possibility of deconstructing the traditional heroes, the protagonists of the epics, replacing it not with an empty space but with the depiction of a new kind of heroism, one that emerges from the farce and attempts to rewrite the image of the Argentine soldiers that fought in the war.

description: A number of plants species believed to be wind pollinated (anemophilous) are actually pollinated both by wind as well as insects (ambophily) because all the traits of the two pollination modes have not evolved simultaneously. Comparatively few angiosperms exhibit ambophily and the significance of such a mechanism is not fully understood. During the present investigation, ambophily was studied in Olea ferruginea, over a period of three years. It is an andromonoecious and out-crossing tree species of the olive complex. The species is predominately pollinated by wind because it shows fruit set even when the insect pollinators were excluded. Moreover, a substantial amount of pollen was observed on the body parts of insect visitors and, comparatively, fruit set was enhanced in open-pollinated flowers receiving insect visitors. Floral structure of O. ferruginea displays floral traits favoring both wind and insect pollination. Furthermore, the flowers of this species were found to be visited by 20 insect species classified under three orders with Diptera and Hymenoptera being the leading pollen foragers. The results of linear regression of the hanging slide experiment showed that the dispersal of pollen grains decreased significantly with increasing distance from the canopy and the pollen density increased significantly with an increase in insect activity. The present work provides an insight to understand the ecological and evolutionary adaptations and consequences of spatio-temporal variation in plant – pollinator interactions. It is, therefore, useful for addressing both basic and applied questions in community structure and function including the evolution of floral traits, reproductive assurance, and the development of optimal conservation strategies.

description: We examine the effective low-energy theory of the adjoint sector of Dirac gaugino models and its UV completions, and identify the main source of tuning. A holomorphic scalar adjoint mass square (the "$b_M$ term") is generated at the same order (1-loop) as the Dirac gaugino mass (the "$m_D$ term"), leading to the problematic relation $b_M\sim16π^2 m_D^2$, somewhat analogous to the $μ-B_μ$ problem of gauge mediation. We identify the leading operators of the low-energy effective theory contributing to the adjoint sector, and evaluate them in various UV completions, confirming the existence of this problem. We suggest a solution by introducing messenger mixing and tuning the relevant parameters. We also present a novel dynamical model for Dirac gauginos based on a strongly coupled SUSY QCD theory, where the additional adjoint $M$ is identified with a confined meson, the U(1) with a baryon-number like symmetry, and the messengers with the confined baryons. We find a SUSY breaking vacuum with a non-vanishing D-term, which after tuning the messenger mixing angles gives rise to a realistic gaugino and squark sector.

description: The memory of Argentina’s desaparecidos is being openly negotiated not only in public commemorative acts and the construction of monuments, but also in contemporary artwork. Photography plays a major role in artistic narratives of personal remembrance and public commemoration. This essay explores three exemplary artistic creations, all of which use photographic images in their representation of Argentina’s last military dictatorship. Marcelo Brodsky’s Buena Memoria displays childhood pictures of happier times in reminiscence of his disappeared younger brother and his best friend from school. Helen Zout uses iconic images to construct an aestheticized monument of the desaparecidos in her photo series Huellas de desapariciones. Lucila Quieto’s Arqueología de la ausencia seeks to reveal the life-long absences created in the lives of the children of the disappeared. In Quieto’s work, young adults pose next to their absent parents in projections of old family pictures, visualizing the constructedness of a post-generation’s narrative.

description: Classification and identification of wild animals for tracking and protection purposes has become increasingly important with the deterioration of the environment, and technology is the agent of change which augments this process with novel solutions. Computer vision is one such technology which uses the abilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning models on visual inputs. Convolution neural networks (CNNs) have multiple layers which have different weights for the purpose of prediction of a particular input. The precedent for classification, however, is set by the image processing techniques which provide nearly ideal input images that produce optimal results. Image segmentation is one such widely used image processing method which provides a clear demarcation of the areas of interest in the image, be it regions or objects. The Efficiency of CNN can be related to the preprocessing done before training. Further, it is a well-established fact that heterogeneity in image sources is detrimental to the performance of CNNs. Thus, the added functionality of heterogeneity elimination is performed by the image processing techniques, introducing a level of consistency that sets the tone for the excellent feature extraction and eventually in classification.

description: A number of plants species believed to be wind pollinated (anemophilous) are actually pollinated both by wind as well as insects (ambophily) because all the traits of the two pollination modes have not evolved simultaneously. Comparatively few angiosperms exhibit ambophily and the significance of such a mechanism is not fully understood. During the present investigation, ambophily was studied in Olea ferruginea, over a period of three years. It is an andromonoecious and out-crossing tree species of the olive complex. The species is predominately pollinated by wind because it shows fruit set even when the insect pollinators were excluded. Moreover, a substantial amount of pollen was observed on the body parts of insect visitors and, comparatively, fruit set was enhanced in open-pollinated flowers receiving insect visitors. Floral structure of O. ferruginea displays floral traits favoring both wind and insect pollination. Furthermore, the flowers of this species were found to be visited by 20 insect species classified under three orders with Diptera and Hymenoptera being the leading pollen foragers. The results of linear regression of the hanging slide experiment showed that the dispersal of pollen grains decreased significantly with increasing distance from the canopy and the pollen density increased significantly with an increase in insect activity. The present work provides an insight to understand the ecological and evolutionary adaptations and consequences of spatio-temporal variation in plant – pollinator interactions. It is, therefore, useful for addressing both basic and applied questions in community structure and function including the evolution of floral traits, reproductive assurance, and the development of optimal conservation strategies.

description: At present, great effort is spent on the experimental realization of gauge fields for quantum many-body systems in optical lattices. At the same time, the single-site-resolved detection of individual atoms has become a new powerful experimental tool. We discuss a protocol for the single-site resolved measurement of the current statistics of quantum many-body systems, which makes use of a bichromatic optical superlattice and single-site detection. We illustrate the protocol by a numerical study of the current statistics for interacting bosons in one and two dimensions and discuss the role of the on-site interactions for the current pattern and the ground-state symmetry for small two-dimensional lattices with artificial magnetic fields.

Language Models Can Learn Exceptions to Syntactic Rules

description: Artificial neural networks can generalize productively to novel contexts. Can they also learn exceptions to those productive rules? We explore this question using the case of restrictions on English passivization (e.g., the fact that "The vacation lasted five days" is grammatical, but "*Five days was lasted by the vacation" is not). We collect human acceptability judgments for passive sentences with a range of verbs, and show that the probability distribution defined by GPT-2, a language model, matches the human judgments with high correlation. We also show that the relative acceptability of a verb in the active vs. passive voice is positively correlated with the relative frequency of its occurrence in those voices. These results provide preliminary support for the entrenchment hypothesis, according to which learners track and uses the distributional properties of their input to learn negative exceptions to rules. At the same time, this hypothesis fails to explain the magnitude of unpassivizability demonstrated by certain individual verbs, suggesting that other cues to exceptionality are available in the linguistic input.

description: We consider gauge coupling unification in E6 F-Theory Grand Unified Theories (GUTs) where E6 is broken to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group using fluxes. In such models there are two types of exotics that can affect gauge coupling unification, namely matter exotics from the matter curves in the 27 dimensional representation of E6 and the bulk exotics from the adjoint 78 dimensional representation of E6. We explore the conditions required for either the complete or partial removal of bulk exotics from the low energy spectrum. In the latter case we shall show that (miraculously) gauge coupling unification may be possible even if there are bulk exotics at the TeV scale. Indeed in some cases it is necessary for bulk exotics to survive to the TeV scale in order to cancel the effects coming from other TeV scale matter exotics which would by themselves spoil gauge coupling unification. The combination of matter and bulk exotics in these cases can lead to precise gauge coupling unification which would not be possible with either type of exotics considered by themselves. The combination of matter and bulk exotics at the TeV scale represents a unique and striking signature of E6 F-theory GUTs that can be tested at the LHC.

description: Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed ground field of characteristic p, let B be a Borel subgroup of G, and let X be a G-variety. The first named author has shown that for p = 0 there is a natural action of the Weyl group W on the (finite) set of closed B-invariant subvarieties of X that are of maximal modularity, and conjectured that the same construction yields a W-action whenever p is different from 2. In the present paper we prove this conjecture.

description: Charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) is a clear signal of new physics; it directly addresses the physics of flavor and of generations. The search for CLFV has continued from the early 1940's, when the muon was identified as a separate particle, until today. Certainly in the LHC era the motivations for continued searches are clear and have been covered in many reviews. This review is focused on the experimental history with a view toward how these searches might progress. We examine of the status of searches for charged lepton flavor violation in the muon, tau, and other channels, and then examine the prospects for new efforts over the next decade. Finally, we examine what paths might be taken after the conclusion of upcoming experiments and what facilities might be required.

description: In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), a Higgs boson mass of 125 GeV can be obtained with moderately heavy scalar top superpartners provided they are highly mixed. The source of this mixing, a soft trilinear stop-stop-Higgs coupling, can result in the appearance of charge- and color-breaking minima in the scalar potential of the theory. If such a vacuum exists and is energetically favorable, the Standard Model-like vacuum can decay to it via quantum tunnelling. In this work we investigate the conditions under which such exotic vacua arise, and we compute the tunnelling rates to them. Our results provide new constraints on the scalar top quarks of the MSSM.

description: Let $G$ be an algebraic real reductive group and $Z$ a real spherical $G$-variety, that is, it admits an open orbit for a minimal parabolic subgroup $P$. We prove a local structure theorem for $Z$. In the simplest case where $Z$ is homogeneous, the theorem provides an isomorphism of the open $P$-orbit with a bundle $Q \times_L S$. Here $Q$ is a parabolic subgroup with Levi decomposition $LU$, and $S$ is a homogeneous space for a quotient $D=L/L_n$ of $L$, where $L_n$ is normal in $L$, such that $D$ is compact modulo center.

description: If cosmic background neutrinos interact very weakly with each other, through spin-spin interactions, then they may have experienced a phase transition, leading to a ferromagnetic ordering. The small magnetic field resulting from ferromagnetic ordering -- if present before galaxy formation -- could act as a primordial seed of the magnetic fields observed in several galaxies. Our findings suggest that the magnetization could occur in the right epoch, if the exchange boson of neutrino-neutrino interaction is a massless boson beyond the Standard Model, with a coupling constant of $2.2\times 10^{-13} \left(\frac{m_ν}{10^{-4}\,\rm{eV}}\right)^2

description: Let Z be an algebraic homogeneous space Z=G/H attached to real reductive Lie group G. We assume that Z is real spherical, i.e., minimal parabolic subgroups have open orbits on Z. For such spaces we investigate their large scale geometry and provide a polar decomposition. This is obtained from the existence of simple compactifications of Z which is established in this paper.

Estimates for the Abelian $Z'$ Couplings from the LHC Data

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this paper, we investigate the Drell-Yan process with the intermediate heavy $Z'$ boson. We use a general approach to the Abelian $Z'$ that utilizes the renormalization-group relations between the $Z'$ couplings and allows to reduce the number of unknown $Z'$ parameters significantly. In a newly proposed strategy, we estimate the LHC-driven constraints for the $Z'$ couplings to lepton and quark vector currents. To do this, we calculate the $Z'$-related contribution in the narrow-width approximation and compare the obtained values to the experimental data presented by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations. Our method allows to estimate the values of $Z'$ couplings to the $u$ and $d$ quarks and to final-state leptons.

description: The popularity of encryption mechanisms poses a great challenge to malicious traffic detection. The reason is traditional detection techniques cannot work without the decryption of encrypted traffic. Currently, research on encrypted malicious traffic detection without decryption has focused on feature extraction and the choice of machine learning or deep learning algorithms. In this paper, we first provide an in-depth analysis of traffic features and compare different state-of-the-art traffic feature creation approaches, while proposing a novel concept for encrypted traffic feature which is specifically designed for encrypted malicious traffic analysis. In addition, we propose a framework for encrypted malicious traffic detection. The framework is a two-layer detection framework which consists of both deep learning and traditional machine learning algorithms. Through comparative experiments, it outperforms classical deep learning and traditional machine learning algorithms, such as ResNet and Random Forest. Moreover, to provide sufficient training data for the deep learning model, we also curate a dataset composed entirely of public datasets. The composed dataset is more comprehensive than using any public dataset alone. Lastly, we discuss the future directions of this research.

description: In this paper, we consider multiuser multiple-input single-output (MISO) interference channel where the received signal is divided into two parts for information decoding and energy harvesting (EH), respectively. The transmit beamforming vectors and receive power splitting (PS) ratios are jointly designed in order to minimize the total transmission power subject to both signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and EH constraints. Most joint beamforming and power splitting (JBPS) designs assume that perfect channel state information (CSI) is available; however CSI errors are inevitable in practice. To overcome this limitation, we study the robust JBPS design problem assuming a norm-bounded error (NBE) model for the CSI. Three different solution approaches are proposed for the robust JBPS problem, each one leading to a different computational algorithm. Firstly, an efficient semidefinite relaxation (SDR)-based approach is presented to solve the highly non-convex JBPS problem, where the latter can be formulated as a semidefinite programming (SDP) problem. A rank-one recovery method is provided to recover a robust feasible solution to the original problem. Secondly, based on second order cone programming (SOCP) relaxation, we propose a low complexity approach with the aid of a closed-form robust solution recovery method. Thirdly, a new iterative method is also provided which can achieve near-optimal performance when the SDR-based algorithm results in a higher-rank solution. We prove that this iterative algorithm monotonically converges to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) solution of the robust JBPS problem. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithms.
