description: Hyperspectral images provide much more information than conventional imaging techniques, allowing a precise identification of the materials in the observed scene, but because of the limited spatial resolution, the observations are usually mixtures of the contributions of several materials. The spectral unmixing problem aims at recovering the spectra of the pure materials of the scene (endmembers), along with their proportions (abundances) in each pixel. In order to deal with the intra-class variability of the materials and the induced spectral variability of the endmembers, several spectra per material, constituting endmember bundles, can be considered. However, the usual abundance estimation techniques do not take advantage of the particular structure of these bundles, organized into groups of spectra. In this paper, we propose to use group sparsity by introducing mixed norms in the abundance estimation optimization problem. In particular, we propose a new penalty which simultaneously enforces group and within group sparsity, to the cost of being nonconvex. All the proposed penalties are compatible with the abundance sum-to-one constraint, which is not the case with traditional sparse regression. We show on simulated and real datasets that well chosen penalties can significantly improve the unmixing performance compared to the naive bundle approach.

description: Let $G$ be a compact connected semisimple Lie group. We extend the techniques of Weinstein [W] to give a construction in group cohomology of symplectic forms $ω$ on \lq twisted' moduli spaces of representations of the fundamental group $π$ of a 2-manifold $Σ$ (the smooth analogues of ${\rm Hom} (π_1(Σ), G)/G$) and on relative character varieties of fundamental groups of 2-manifolds. We extend this construction to exhibit a symplectic form on the extended moduli space [J1] (a Hamiltonian $G$-space from which these moduli spaces may be obtained by symplectic reduction), and compute the moment map for the action of $G$ on the extended moduli space.

description: We carefully re-examine the issues of solving the modified Bianchi identity, anomaly cancellations and flux quantization in the S^1/Z_2 orbifold of M-theory using the boundary-free "upstairs" formalism, avoiding several misconceptions present in earlier literature. While the solution for the four-form G to the modified Bianchi identity appears to depend on an arbitrary parameter b, we show that requiring G to be globally well-defined, i.e. invariant under small and large gauge and local Lorentz transformations, fixes b=1. This value also is necessary for a consistent reduction to the heterotic string in the small-radius limit. Insisting on properly defining all fields on the circle, we find that there is a previously unnoticed additional contribution to the anomaly inflow from the eleven-dimensional topological term. Anomaly cancellation then requires a quadratic relation between b and the combination lambda^6/kappa^4 of the gauge and gravitational coupling constants lambda and kappa. This contrasts with previous beliefs that anomaly cancellation would give a cubic equation for b. We observe that our solution for G automatically satisfies integer or half-integer flux quantization for the appropriate cycles. We explicitly write out the anomaly cancelling terms of the heterotic string as inherited from the M-theory approach. They differ from the usual ones by the addition of a well-defined local counterterm. We also show how five-branes enter our analysis.

The impact of the electric field on superconductivity in the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory

description: In this letter, we address the impact of the electric field on superconductors which are insulators in the normal state, superconducting semiconductors at low carrier concentration and ultracold gas of fermions in the strongly interacting regime. The electric field penetrates these systems and affects on the Cooper pairs. We show that if there are Cooper pairs above the superconductor critical temperature the electric field forces the Cooper pairs to Bose condensate and the onset of the superconductivity, thereby increasing the critical temperature. To study this phenomenon we numerically solve the Maxwell equations for s-wave superconductors obtained from the time-dependent Ginsburg-Landau theory. Our investigation paves a new experimental way for verification of the pairing of fermions preceding superconductivity and superfluidity.

description: The compound N-{2-[(2-chlorothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)amino]ethyl}-3-methoxybenzamide (8) was synthesized by the condensation of 3-methoxybenzoic acid (7) with N1-(2-chlorothieno[3,2-d]pyrimidin-4-yl)ethane-1,2-diamine (6). This intermediate was prepared from methyl 3-aminothiophene-2-carboxylate (1) by the condensation with urea, chlorination with phosphorus oxychloride and then condensation with ethane-1,2-diamine. The crystal structure of the title compound was determined and the crystal of the title compound belongs to the tetragonal system, space group P4(3) with a = 9.4694(10) Å, b = 9.4694(10) Å, c = 18.886(3) Å, α = 90°, β = 90°, γ = 90°. The optimized geometric bond lengths and bond angles obtained by using density functional theory (DFT) have been compared with X-ray diffraction values. The calculated HOMO and LUMO energies showed the character of the title compound. The molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) surface map of the related molecule was investigated with theoretical calculations at the B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) levels. A quantitative analysis of the intermolecular interactions in the crystal structures has been performed using Hirshfeld surface analysis. In addition, the title compound possesses marked inhibition against the proliferation of human colon cancer cell line HT-29 (IC50 = 1.76 μM), human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A549 (IC50 = 1.98 μM) and human gastric cancer cell line MKN45 (IC50 = 2.32 μM), displaying promising anticancer activitiy. The molecular docking studies revealed that the title compound may exhibit activity inhibiting PDB:3D15. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Although face recognition systems have achieved impressive performance in recent years, the low-resolution face recognition (LRFR) task remains challenging, especially when the LR faces are captured under non-ideal conditions, as is common in surveillance-based applications. Faces captured in such conditions are often contaminated by blur, nonuniform lighting, and nonfrontal face pose. In this paper, we analyze face recognition techniques using data captured under low-quality conditions in the wild. We provide a comprehensive analysis of experimental results for two of the most important applications in real surveillance applications, and demonstrate practical approaches to handle both cases that show promising performance. The following three contributions are made: {\em (i)} we conduct experiments to evaluate super-resolution methods for low-resolution face recognition; {\em (ii)} we study face re-identification on various public face datasets including real surveillance and low-resolution subsets of large-scale datasets, present a baseline result for several deep learning based approaches, and improve them by introducing a GAN pre-training approach and fully convolutional architecture; and {\em (iii)} we explore low-resolution face identification by employing a state-of-the-art supervised discriminative learning approach. Evaluations are conducted on challenging portions of the SCFace and UCCSface datasets.

description: The aim of this paper is to present a review of the nonmanual
markers (NMMs) found in various studies of Croatian Sign
Langauge (HZJ), as well as to compare them to other sign languages.
We will address different functions of NMMs in HZJ with a focus on
their functions atlinguistic levels. At the phonological level, NMMs
will be discussed with respect to head and body movements, mouth
actions, and facial expressions. At the morphological level, NMMs
will be discussed in relation to their function for verbs, adverbs,
adjectives, and pronouns. At the syntactic level, NMMs will be
discussed with respect to their functionality as markers of such
things as negation, agreement, interrogatives, and conditionals,
while NMMs that appear with topic and focus will be discussed in
the section on pragmatics. Finally, we provide table summary for
NMMs from this paper with their associated functions, as well as
suggestions for further research.

description: We study the F-terms in N=1 supersymmetric, d=4 gauge theories arising from D(p+3)-branes wrapping supersymmetric p-cycles in a Calabi-Yau threefold. If p is even the spectrum and superpotential for a single brane are determined by purely classical ($α^\prime \to 0$) considerations. If p=3, superpotentials for massless modes are forbidden to all orders in $α^\prime$ and may only be generated by open string instantons. For this latter case we find that such instanton effects are generically present. Mirror symmetry relates even and odd p and thus perturbative and nonperturbative superpotentials; we provide a preliminary discussion of a class of examples of such mirror pairs.

Non-invasive Modulation of Thalamocortical Interactions: Altering Sensory Gating with Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

description: When a person hears a tone, an electroencephalogram (EEG) captures a positive deflection in brain waves approximately 50 ms after the tone ends, termed the P50 auditory evoked potential (S1P50). If the person hears the same tone twice separated by 500 ms, the P50 response to the second tone (S2P50) is attenuated, a phenomenon called sensory gating (Cromwell et al., 2008). Sensory gating is the process by which the brain filters out redundant stimuli and is disrupted in several neurologic disorders, including pediatric epilepsy syndromes (Cromwell et al., 2008; Fiedler et al., 2006). Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method for altering both the stimulated cortex and connected regions through electromagnetic induction (Rizvi & Khan, 2019). This method has been shown to alter brain cortical-to-cortical connectivity (Hampson & Hoffman, 2010). Sensory gating of the P50 auditory evoked potential is thought to be modulated by interactions between the thalamus and cortex (Ibrahim et al., 2021). Whether repetitive TMS (rTMS) can alter thalamocortical interactions is less clear but has important therapeutic implications for disorders like pediatric epilepsy. In this project, we modified the standard sensory gating paradigm and evaluated the effect of factors like inter-trial interval (ITI), trial number, and preprocessing methodology on the P50 ERP signal. Later, using insights gathered from the previous protocol development process, a sham-controlled EEG-rTMS procedure was designed for targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a superficial region of the cortex thought to be involved in sensory gating (Mayer et al., 2009). Piloting of the EEG-rTMS protocol found no significant change in S1P50, S2P50, or gating ratio in healthy adult subjects post-real rTMS stimulation. However, more investigation is needed with a larger sample group and different spatial rTMS targets to further explore using this modality to alter auditory biomarkers like sensory gating.

description: Male reproductive alterations found in animals and humans following in utero phthalate exposure include decreased anogenital distance (AGD) and other reproductive-tract malformations. The aim of this investigation was to conduct systematic reviews of human and animal evidence of the effect of in utero exposure to diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) on anogenital distance (AGD) in males. PubMed, Embase, and Toxline were searched for relevant human and experimental animal studies on August 15, 2016. Search results were screened for relevance, and studies that met the inclusion criteria were evaluated for quality and data extracted for analysis. Confidence in the human and animal bodies of evidence was assessed and hazard conclusions reached by integrating evidence streams. The search yielded 6 relevant human studies and 19 animal studies. Meta-analysis of 5 human observational prospective cohort studies showed that increased maternal urinary concentrations of DEHP metabolites were associated with decreased AGD in boys (−4.07 [CI, −6.49 to −1.66] % decrease per log10 rise in DEHP metabolites). Meta-analysis and meta-regression of the 19 experimental animal studies found reduced AGD with DEHP treatment, with a dose-response gradient, and with heterogeneity explained by species and strain. There is a moderate level of evidence from human investigations and a high level of data from animal studies that in utero exposure to DEHP decreases AGD. Based upon the available human and animal evidence, and consideration of mechanistic data, DEHP is presumed to be a reproductive hazard to humans on the basis of effects on AGD.

description: The most common measure of dependence between two time series is the cross-correlation function. This measure gives a complete characterization of dependence for two linear and jointly Gaussian time series, but it often fails for nonlinear and non-Gaussian time series models, such as the ARCH-type models used in finance. The cross-correlation function is a global measure of dependence. In this article, we apply to bivariate time series the nonlinear local measure of dependence called local Gaussian correlation. It generally works well also for nonlinear models, and it can distinguish between positive and negative local dependence. We construct confidence intervals for the local Gaussian correlation and develop a test based on this measure of dependence. Asymptotic properties are derived for the parameter estimates, for the test functional and for a block bootstrap procedure. For both simulated and financial index data, we construct confidence intervals and we compare the proposed test with one based on the ordinary correlation and with one based on the Brownian distance correlation. Financial indexes are examined over a long time period and their local joint behavior, including tail behavior, is analyzed prior to, during and after the financial crisis. Supplementary material for this article is available online.

description: Janus and Epimetheus are two moons of Saturn with very peculiar motions. As they orbit around Saturn on quasi-coplanar and quasi-circular trajectories whose radii are only 50 km apart (less than their respective diameters), every four (terrestrial) years the bodies approach each other and their mutual gravitational influence lead to a swapping of the orbits: the outer moon becomes the inner one and vice-versa. This behavior generates horseshoe-shaped trajectories depicted in an appropriate rotating frame. In spite of analytical theories and numerical investigations developed to describe their long-term dynamics, so far very few rigorous long-time stability results on the "horseshoe motion" have been obtained even in the restricted three-body problem. Adapting the idea of Arnol'd (1963) to a resonant case (the co-orbital motion is associated with trajectories in 1:1 mean motion resonance), we provide a rigorous proof of existence of 2-dimensional elliptic invariant tori on which the trajectories are similar to those followed by Janus and Epimetheus. For this purpose, we apply KAM theory to the planar three-body problem.

description: We investigated the relationship between Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the quantities of neutrophil elastase, CD3, Foxp3, and CD204 in tumor-infiltrating cells and circulating cytokines (IL-2, -6, -8, 17a, and TGF-β) in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. IL-6 and IL-8 levels showed a significant correlation with NLR in blood and Foxp3+ cells around the tumor. After co-culture of peripheral blood cells with bladder cancer cell lines, the induction of regulatory T cell (Treg) was higher in T24 whose IL-6 and IL-8 levels were higher. High NLR correlates with increased IL-6 and IL-8 and Treg expression.

description: We consider the open superstring ending on a D-brane in the presence of a constant NS-NS B field, using the Green-Schwarz formalism. Quantizing in the light-cone gauge, we find that the anti-commutation relations for the fermionic variables of superspace remain unmodified. We also derive the unbroken supersymmetry algebra living on the D-brane. This establishes how the Moyal product is extended in a superspace formulation of non-commutative field theories. The superfield formulation of non-commutative supersymmetric field theories is briefly considered.

Closed N=2 Strings: Picture-Changing, Hidden Symmetries and SDG Hierarchy

description: We study the action of picture-changing and spectral flow operators on a ground ring of ghost number zero operators in the chiral BRST cohomology of the closed N=2 string and describe an infinite set of symmetry charges acting on physical states. The transformations of physical string states are compared with symmetries of self-dual gravity which is the effective field theory of the closed N=2 string. We derive all infinitesimal symmetries of the self-dual gravity equations in 2+2 dimensional spacetime and introduce an infinite hierarchy of commuting flows on the moduli space of self-dual metrics. The dependence on moduli parameters can be recovered by solving the equations of the SDG hierarchy associated with an infinite set of abelian symmetries generated recursively from translations. These non-local abelian symmetries are shown to coincide with the hidden abelian string symmetries responsible for the vanishing of most scattering amplitudes. Therefore, N=2 string theory "predicts" not only self-dual gravity but also the SDG hierarchy.

description: Reasonable design of a kind of non-noble metal catalyst with high catalytic performance, good stability and low cost is of great significance to realize the overall water splitting. Herein, a bottom-up method is proposed to synthesize NiFe layered double hydroxides (NiFe LDHs) coated sulfide/phosphide heterostructure on the nickel foam (Ni3S2-NixPy/NF@NiFe LDH) through hydrothermal method combined with electrodeposition. Low overpotentials of only 248 and 298 mV are required to achieve the current densities of 50 and 100 mA cm−2 for OER. Meanwhile, the HER performance only needs 137 mV at a current density of 10 mA cm−2.

description: Sign language avatars, also called signing avatars, are
animated characters that display signed utterances on a digital
display without using digitized recordings of human signers. These
three-dimensional (3D) animated figures have the potential to
increase Deaf accessibility to many of the resources in the hearing
world. Before this can become a reality, however, researchers will
need to address the challenge of effectively and accurately
portraying facial nonmanual signals. This requires a thorough
grounding in sign linguistics and the alternatives for its
representation, as well as computer animation techniques. In this
article, a discussion of the findings in these three fields forms the
basis for analyzing past advances and current challenges in the
portrayal of facial nonmanual signals by signing avatar.

SHRUBLANDS IN CALIFORNIA: LITERATURE REVIEW AND RESEARCH NEEDED FOR MANAGEMENT: Cover Matter
Creators: name: DeVries, Johannes
name: DeVries, Johannes
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1984
Subjects: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: This document is a detailed survey of the literature on shrublands in California. It summarizes the results of a multi-disciplinary project to define what is currently known about shrubland vegetation management and what additional research is needed to properly assess the social and environmental effects of such management. Fire is the most important management tool, and therefore receives the most emphasis in the publication. A general treatment of management procedures and a description of the biogeography and prehistory of shrublands are presented in the initial chapters. The effects of shrubland management (primarily by fire) are presented next, with chapters on the effects on vegetation, on soils, on water yield and water quality, on streams (with particular emphasis on the organisms that live in the streams), and on wildlife. This is followed by a chapter on shrubland ecosystem dynamics. The final chapters in the document deal with management concerns, which include management of shrublands for livestock forage, the effects of burning on air quality, the economics and policy of shrubland management, and fire behavior and burning technology.

description: RNA splicing refers to a process by which introns of a pre-mRNA are excised and the exons at both ends are joined together. Chloroplast introns are inherently self-splicing ribozymes, but over time, they have lost self-splicing ability due to the degeneration of intronic elements. Thus, the splicing of chloroplast introns relies heavily on nuclear-encoded splicing factors, which belong to diverse protein families. Different splicing factors and their shared intron targets are supposed to form ribonucleoprotein particles (RNPs) to facilitate intron splicing. As characterized in a previous review, around 14 chloroplast intron splicing factors were identified until 2010. However, only a few genetic and biochemical evidence has shown that these splicing factors are required for the splicing of one or several introns. The roles of splicing factors are generally believed to facilitate intron folding; however, the precise role of each protein in RNA splicing remains ambiguous. This may be because the precise binding site of most of these splicing factors remains unexplored. In the last decade, several new splicing factors have been identified. Also, several splicing factors were found to bind to specific sequences within introns, which enhanced the understanding of splicing factors. Here, we summarize recent progress on the splicing factors in land plant chloroplasts and discuss their possible roles in chloroplast RNA splicing based on previous studies.
Properties of Type-Ia Supernova Light Curves

description: I show that the characteristic diffusion timescale and the gamma-ray escape timescale, of SN Ia supernova ejecta, are related with each other through the time when the bolometric luminosity, $L_{\rm bol}$, intersects with instantaneous radioactive decay luminosity, $L_γ$, for the second time after the light-curve peak. Analytical arguments, numerical radiation-transport calculations, and observational tests show that $L_{\rm bol}$ generally intersects $L_γ$ at roughly $1.7$ times the characteristic diffusion timescale of the ejecta. This relation implies that the gamma-ray escape timescale is typically 2.7 times the diffusion timescale, and also implies that the bolometric luminosity 15 days after the peak, $L_{\rm bol}(t_{15})$, must be close to the instantaneous decay luminosity at that time, $L_γ(t_{15})$. With the employed calculations and observations, the accuracy of $L_{\rm bol}=L_γ$ at $t=t_{15}$ is found to be comparable to the simple version of "Arnett's rule" ($L_{\rm bol}=L_γ$ at $t=t_{\rm peak}$). This relation aids the interpretation of SN Ia supernova light curves and may also be applicable to general hydrogen-free explosion scenarios powered by other central engines.

description: Nanocrystalline ZnO and Cu-doped ZnO were synthesized by solution combustion method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). Catalytic effects of as-synthesized ZnO and Cu-doped ZnO on thermal behavior of pure potassium perchlorate (KP) and KP/Al mixture were examined by Thermogravimetry-Differential Scanning Calorimetry (TG-DSC) analysis combining with SEM-EDS technique. Results showed that as-synthesized ZnO and Cu-doped ZnO both decreased melting and decomposition temperature of pure KP, and the catalytic activity of Cu-doped ZnO was higher than ZnO. Further, it was suggested that catalysts of ZnO and Cu-doped ZnO both promoted solid-state decomposition of KP before melting. In agreement with the catalytic effects on thermal behavior of pure KP, the addition of ZnO and Cu-doped ZnO not only significantly decreased the ignition temperature of KP/Al mixture, but also enhanced the total heat release of KP/Al. Solution combustion method is demonstrated to be an effective method to prepare metal oxide catalysts for catalyzing thermal decomposition of KP.

description: The most common measure of dependence between two time series is the crosscorrelation function. This measure gives a complete characterization of dependence for two linear and jointly Gaussian time series, but it often fails for nonlinear and non-Gaussian time series models, such as the ARCH-type models used in finance. The crosscorrelation function is a global measure of dependence. In this paper we apply to bivariate time series, the nonlinear local measure of dependence called local Gaussian correlation. It generally works well also for nonlinear models, and it can distinguish between positive and negative local dependence. We construct confidence intervals for the local Gaussian correlation and develop a test based on this measure of dependence. Asymptotic properties are derived for the parameter estimates, for the test functional and for a block bootstrap procedure. For both simulated and financial index data, we construct confidence intervals and we compare the proposed test with one based on the ordinary correlation and with one based on the Brownian distance correlation. Financial indexes are examined over a long time period and their local joint behaviour, including tail behaviour, is analysed prior to, during and after the financial crisis.

description: The general formula for the universal R-matrix for quantized nontwisted affine algebras by Khoroshkin and Tolstoy is applied for zero central charge highest weight modules of the quantized affine algebras. It is shown how the universal R-matrix produces the Gauss decomposition of trigonomitric R-matrix in tensor product of these modules. Explicit calculations for the simplest case of $A_1^{(1)}$ are presented. As a consequence new formulas for the trigonometric R-matrix with a parameter in tensor product of $U_q(sl_2)$-Verma modules are obtained.
