description: We tackle the problem of counting the number of $k$-cliques in large-scale graphs, for any constant $k \ge 3$. Clique counting is essential in a variety of applications, among which social network analysis. Due to its computationally intensive nature, we settle for parallel solutions in the MapReduce framework, which has become in the last few years a {\em de facto} standard for batch processing of massive data sets. We give both theoretical and experimental contributions. On the theory side, we design the first exact scalable algorithm for counting (and listing) $k$-cliques. Our algorithm uses $O(m^{3/2})$ total space and $O(m^{k/2})$ work, where $m$ is the number of graph edges. This matches the best-known bounds for triangle listing when $k=3$ and is work-optimal in the worst case for any $k$, while keeping the communication cost independent of $k$. We also design a sampling-based estimator that can dramatically reduce the running time and space requirements of the exact approach, while providing very accurate solutions with high probability. We then assess the effectiveness of different clique counting approaches through an extensive experimental analysis over the Amazon EC2 platform, considering both our algorithms and their state-of-the-art competitors. The experimental results clearly highlight the algorithm of choice in different scenarios and prove our exact approach to be the most effective when the number of $k$-cliques is large, gracefully scaling to non-trivial values of $k$ even on clusters of small/medium size. Our approximation algorithm achieves extremely accurate estimates and large speedups, especially on the toughest instances for the exact algorithms. As a side effect, our study also sheds light on the number of $k$-cliques of several real-world graphs, mainly social networks, and on its growth rate as a function of $k$.
Essai de vulgarisation des homélies métriques de Jacques de Saroug
Creators: name: Babakhan, Jacques
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1912

description: In this series of articles originally published in Revue de l’Orient Chrétien from 1912-1914, Babakhan aimed to popularize the work of Jacob of Sarug, a large collection of whose homilies had recently appeared in the monumental edition of Paul Bedjan. Babakhan gives, with very brief introductions, rhymed French translations of five of Jacob’s homilies, namely, Bedjan’s nos. 2 (on the descent of the most high on Mount Sinai, and the symbol of the Church), 95 (on the decapitation of John the Baptist), 99 (on the Apostle Thomas), 103 (on the love of money), and 194 (on the end of the world, and marriage), with some parts omitted. This French translation may still serve as a vehicle of introduction to Jacob’s poetry, much of which remains untranslated.

description: Currently, much interest is drawn to the analysis of optical and matter-wave modes supported by the fractional diffraction in nonlinear media. We predict a new type of such states, in the form of domain walls (DWs) in the two-component system of immiscible fields. Numerical study of the underlying system of fractional nonlinear Schroedinger equations demonstrates the existence and stability of DWs at all values of the respective Levy index (a < 2) which determines the fractional diffraction, and at all values of the XPM/SPM ratio b in the two-component system above the immiscibility threshold. The same conclusion is obtained for DWs in the system which includes the linear coupling, alongside the XPM interaction between the immiscible components. Analytical results are obtained for the scaling of the DW's width. The DW solutions are essentially simplified in the special case of b = 3, as well as close to the immiscibility threshold. In addition to symmetric DWs, asymmetric ones are constructed too, in the system with unequal diffraction coefficients and/or different Levy indices of the two components.

description: In this paper, we study the fast and noise-resistant population transfer, quantum entangled states preparation, and quantum entangled states' transition by constructing the shortcuts to adiabatic passage (STAP) for multiparticle based on the approach of "Lewis-Riesenfeld invariants" in distant cavity quantum electronic dynamics (QED) system. Numerical simulation demonstrates that all of the schemes are fast and robust against the decoherence caused by atomic spontaneous emission and photon leakage. Moreover, not only the total operation time but also the robustness in each scheme against decoherence is irrelevant to the number of qubits. This might lead to a useful step toward realizing the fast and noise-resistant quantum information processing in current technology.

description: Plant parasitic nematodes infect many major food crops worldwide, causing damage valued at approximately 80 billion U.S. dollars per year (Nicol et al. 2011). As part of the parasitic process, some nematodes form a feeding site called a syncytium in the roots of their host. Specialised pathogen proteins known as effectors are thought to play critical roles in these processes. This thesis identifies and characterises a subset of core effectors conserved in the syncytia forming nematode species Globodera rostochiensis, Globodera pallida, Rotylenchulus reniformis, and Nacobbus aberrans, but that are absent from other nematodes. Three of the candidates (GROS_g02394, GROS_g02469, and GROS_g05682) have been validated as effectors using in situ hybridisation to confirm expression in the oesophageal gland cells. Further functional characterisation using in planta localisation, yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) analysis, and co immunoprecipitation for host target identification were undertaken. Using Y2H it was possible to identify an arginine N-methyltransferase (stPRMT1.1) from Solanum tuberosum as an interacting host protein for GROS_g02394. In addition, a set of novel GH53 endo-β-1, 4-galactanase effectors has been identified which may assist in invasion of the host and migration through root tissue. These genes have likely been acquired through a horizontal gene transfer event. This has given a greater insight into the invasion process and the co evolution between the nematode and its host plant. A conserved family of Cathepsin L-like peptidases has also been identified. Analysis using in situ hybridisation showed these to be intestinal proteins. Expression analysis suggests conserved functions for different family members across a range of species.

Features in the Broadband Eclipse Spectra of Exoplanets: Signal or Noise?

description: A planet's emission spectrum contains information about atmospheric composition and structure. We compare the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) of blackbody fits and idealized spectral retrieval fits for the 44 planets with published eclipse measurements in multiple thermal wavebands, mostly obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope. The evidence for spectral features depends on eclipse depth uncertainties. Spitzer has proven capable of eclipse precisions better than 1E-4 when multiple eclipses are analyzed simultaneously, but this feat has only been performed four times. It is harder to self-calibrate photometry when a single occultation is reduced and analyzed in isolation; we find that such measurements have not passed the test of repeatability. Single-eclipse measurements either have an uncertainty floor of 5E-4, or their uncertainties have been underestimated by a factor of 3. If one adopts these empirical uncertainties for single-eclipse measurements, then the evidence for molecular features all but disappears: blackbodies have better BIC than spectral retrieval for all planets, save HD 189733b, and the few planets poorly fit by blackbodies are also poorly fit by self-consistent radiative transfer models. This suggests that the features in extant broadband emission spectra are due to astrophysical and instrumental noise rather than molecular bands. Claims of stratospheric inversions, disequilibrium chemistry, and high C/O ratios based solely on photometry are premature. We recommend that observers be cautious of error estimates from self-calibration of small data sets, and that modelers compare the evidence for spectral models to that of simpler models such as blackbodies.

description: The space of $(2,0)$ models is of particular interest among all heterotic-string models because it includes the models with the minimal $SO(10)$ unification structure, which is well motivated by the Standard Model of particle physics data. The fermionic $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ heterotic-string models revealed the existence of a new symmetry in the space of string configurations under the exchange of spinors and vectors of the $SO(10)$ GUT group, dubbed spinor-vector duality. Such symmetries are important for the understanding of the landscape of string vacua and ultimately for the possible operation of a dynamical vacuum selection mechanism in string theory. In this paper we generalize this idea to arbitrary internal rational Conformal Field Theories (RCFTs). We explain how the spectral flow operator normally acting within a general $(2,2)$ theory can be used as a map between $(2,0)$ models. We describe the details, give an example and propose more simple currents that can be used in a similar way.

description: This Partial Sanitary Survey covers the shellfish growing waters from southern Barnegat Bay to northern Little Egg Harbor. The results of water quality analysis for samples collected between October 1997 and August 2001 indicate that the Approved waters in the shellfish growing area consisting of the bay waters extending from Sunrise Beach to Westecunk Creek (BB3) met all criteria for classification as Approved. All waters classified as other than Approved also met criteria for their respective classifications. In this Survey, a section of BB3 located due East of Beach Haven West in Barnegat Bay is proposed to be upgraded from it's current Seasonal (Jan-Apr) classification to Seasonal (Nov-Apr). Further, another area in Barnegat Bay located just West of the Barnegat Inlet is recommended for upgrade from Special Restricted to Approved. The persistence of continually good data from sampling and analysis in these areas provides opportunity for recommendation of partial change in BB3 classification(s).

description: We present a detailed analysis of the ionised gas distribution and kinematics in the inner ~ 200 pc of NGC 4546, host of a Low Luminosity Active Galactic Nucleus (LLAGN). Using GMOS-IFU observations, with a spectral coverage of 4736-6806 A and an angular resolution of 0.7 arcsec, we confirm that the nuclear emission is consistent with photoionisation by an AGN, while the gas in the circumnuclear region may be ionised by hot low-mass evolved stars. The gas kinematics in the central region of NGC 4546 presents three components: (i) a disc with major axis oriented along a position angle of 43deg +/- 3deg, counter rotating relative to the stellar disc; (ii) non-circular motions, evidenced by residual velocities of up to 60 km/s, likely associated to a previous capture of a dwarf satellite by NGC 4546; and (iii) nuclear outflows in ionised gas, identified as a broad component (sigma ~ 320 km/s) in the line profiles, with a mass outflow rate of dMout = 0.3 +/- 0.1 Msun/yr and a total mass of Mout = (9.2 +/- 0.8)E3 Msun in ionised gas, corresponding to less than 3 per cent of the total mass of ionised gas in the inner 200 pc of NGC 4546. The kinetic efficiency of the outflow is roughly 0.1 per cent, which is smaller than the outflow coupling efficiencies predicted by theoretical studies to AGN feedback become efficient in suppressing star formation in the host galaxy.

description: We address the response of a Fabry-Perot interferometer to a monochromatic point source. We calculate the anticaustics (that is, the virtual wavefronts of null path difference) resulting from the successive internal reflections occurring in the system. They turn to be a family of ellipsoids (or hyperboloids) of revolution, which allows us to reinterpret the operation of the Fabry-Perot from a geometrical point of view that facilitates comparison with other apparently disparate arrangements, such as Young's double slit.

As promulgated in the New Jersey Air Pollution Control Act N.J.S.A. 26:2C-9.2C, and as set forth in the implementing regulations of the Air Pollution Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:27-8 and N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.35), newly constructed, reconstructed, or modified equipment and control apparatus is required to incorporate advances in the art of air pollution control developed for the kind and amount of air contaminant emitted by the applicant's equipment or control apparatus.  The Air Pollution Control Act of New Jersey directed the Department to publish technical manuals that would include performance levels with respect to air pollution control, to be used by some permit applicants for demonstrating advances in the art of air pollution control.  'Advances in the art of air pollution control' is commonly referred to as 'State-of-the-Art' or SOTA.  SOTA generally includes performance limits that are based on air pollution control technology, pollution prevention methods, and process modifications or substitutions that will provide the greatest emission reductions that are technologically and economically feasible.  There are 17 SOTA manuals included in this series.  They cover the following topics:  volatile organic storage tanks; transfer operations; petroleum refineries; asphalt plants; chemical and pharmaceutical processing and manufacturing industries; degreasers and other solvent based metal surface cleaners; surface coating operations; commercial sterilizers and fumigators using ethylene oxide; municipal wastewater/sludge handling and treatment systems; non-hazardous onsite remediation processes; bakery ovens; broilers; internal combustion engines; stationary gas turbines; glass industry; paint, ink, and adhesive manufacturing industries; graphic arts industry.

description: We present ALMA band 6 images of the 12CO, 13CO and C18O J=2-1 line emissions for the circumstellar disc around HD 169142, at ~8 au spatial resolution. We resolve a central gas depleted cavity, along with two independent near-symmetric ring-like structures in line emission: a well-defined inner gas ring [~25 au] and a second relatively fainter and diffuse outer gas ring [~65 au]. We identify a localised super-Keplerian feature or vertical flow with a magnitude of ~75m/s in the 12CO map. This feature has the shape of an arc that spans azimuthally across a PA range of ~60 to 45 degrees and radially in between the B1[26au] and B2[59au] dust rings. Through reconstruction of the gas surface density profile, we find that the magnitude of the background perturbations by the pressure support and self-gravity terms are not significant enough to account for the kinematic excess. If of planetary origin, the relative depletion in the gas-density profile would suggest a 1 Mj planet. In contrast, the central cavity displays relatively smooth kinematics, suggesting either a low mass companion and/or a binary orbit with a minimal vertical velocity component.

The calculation is performed within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model and numerical results are presented for parameter regions compatible with the observed Higgs boson. We employ the most recent parton distribution functions including QED corrections and we find NLO EW corrections to the inclusive stop-pair production cross section up to $25 - 30\%$ compared to the leading-order prediction. Besides corrections to inclusive cross sections also important kinematic distributions are investigated.

General non-linear imitation leads to limit cycles in eco-evolutionary dynamics

description: Eco-evolutionary dynamics is crucial to understand how individuals' behaviors and the surrounding environment interplay with each other. Typically, it is assumed that individuals update their behaviors via linear imitation function, i.e., the replicator dynamics. It has been proved that there cannot be limit circles in such eco-evolutionary dynamics. It suggests that eco-evolutionary dynamics alone is not sufficient to explain the widely observed fluctuating behavior in both the biological and social systems. We extrapolate from the linear imitation function to general imitation function, which can be non-linear. It is shown that the general imitation does not change the internal equilibrium and its local stability. It however leads to limit cycles, which are never present in classical eco-evolutionary dynamics. Moreover, the average cooperation level and average environment state agree with the first and the second component of the internal fixed point. Furthermore, we estimate the location of the emergent limit cycle. On the one hand, our results provide an alternative mechanism to make cooperators and defectors coexist in a periodic way in the "tragedy of the commons" and indicates the global eco-evolutionary dynamics is sensitive to the imitation function. Our work indicates that the way of imitation, i.e., the imitation function, is crucial in eco-evolutionary dynamics, which is not true for evolutionary dynamics with a static environment.

Topological aspects in nonlinear optical frequency conversion

description: Nonlinear optical frequency conversion, observed more than half a century ago, is a corner stone in modern applications of nonlinear and quantum optics. It is well known that frequency conversion processes are constrained by conservation laws, such as momentum conservation that requires phase matching conditions for efficient conversion. However, conservation laws alone could not fully capture the features of nonlinear frequency conversion. Here it is shown that topology can provide additional constraints in nonlinear multi-frequency conversion processes. Unlike conservation laws, a topological constraint concerns with the conserved properties under continuous deformation, and can be regarded as a new indispensable degree of freedom to describe multi-frequency processes. We illustrate such a paradigm by considering sum frequency generation under a multi-frequency pump wave, showing that, akin topological phases in topological insulators, topological phase transitions can be observed in the frequency conversion process both at classical and quantum level.

description: Like a moth into the flame-phototaxis is an iconic example for innate preferences. Such preferences probably reflect evolutionary adaptations to predictable situations and have traditionally been conceptualized as hard-wired stimulus-response links. Perhaps for that reason, the century-old discovery of flexibility in Drosophila phototaxis has received little attention. Here, we report that across several different behavioural tests, light/dark preference tested in walking is dependent on various aspects of flight. If we temporarily compromise flying ability, walking photopreference reverses concomitantly. Neuronal activity in circuits expressing dopamine and octopamine, respectively, plays a differential role in photopreference, suggesting a potential involvement of these biogenic amines in this case of behavioural flexibility. We conclude that flies monitor their ability to fly, and that flying ability exerts a fundamental effect on action selection in Drosophila. This work suggests that even behaviours which appear simple and hard-wired comprise a value-driven decision-making stage, negotiating the external situation with the animal's internal state, before an action is selected.

description: Generative models based on denoising diffusion techniques have led to an unprecedented increase in the quality and diversity of imagery that is now possible to create with neural generative models. However, most contemporary state-of-the-art methods are derived from a standard isotropic Gaussian formulation. In this work we examine the situation where non-isotropic Gaussian distributions are used. We present the key mathematical derivations for creating denoising diffusion models using an underlying non-isotropic Gaussian noise model. We also provide initial experiments with the CIFAR-10 dataset to help verify empirically that this more general modeling approach can also yield high-quality samples.

Create to Communicate: Reinforcing Language Learning Through Visual Arts

description: The proposition of Farokhi and Hashemi (2011) that art is an effective tool for teaching and learning among various classes of learners when combined with macro skills, can trigger understanding and communication. The Vygotskian Theory cited by Bodrova and Leong (2015) supports this that childhood plays a role in the cultural-historical and biosocial development since the need for young children to work on their own observation is an important activity than a structured lesson. Visual arts integration as a pedagogical tool in second-language learning is effective (Udhayashankar, 2020; Shevchuk, 2018; Al Khaiyali, 2014). By letting children draw what they saw and describe the objects in simple English terms, they were able to acquire the foundational level of English language competence despite restrictions in this pandemic period. Through drawing, these ethnic minorities were exposed to the learner-centered acquisition of real-world language. This strategic scheme is an opportunity to translate the terms from their own dialect into English terms. They also expressed their life including the socio-cultural environment, their thoughts, and their values which exposed their wide range of cultural and social values in both intentional and unintentional manner.

description: We propose an all-superconducting three-terminal setup consisting in a carbon nanotube (or semiconducting nanowire) contacted to three superconducting leads. The resulting device, referred to as a "biSQUID", is made of four quantum dots arranged in two loops of different surface area. We show how this biSQUID can prove a useful tool to probe nonlocal quantum phenomena in an interferometry setup. We study the measured critical current as a function of the applied magnetic field, which shows peaks in its Fourier spectrum, providing clear signatures of multipair Josephson processes. The device does not require any specific fine-tuning as these features are observed for a wide range of microscopic parameters -- albeit with a non-trivial dependence. Competing effects which may play a significant role in actual experimental realizations are also explored.

Simulated optical light curves of super-Eddington tidal disruption events with ZEBRA flows

description: We present simulated optical light curves of super-Eddington tidal disruption events (TDEs) using the zero-Bernoulli accretion (ZEBRA) flow model, which proposes that during the super-Eddington phase, the disc is quasi-spherical, radiation-pressure dominated, and accompanied by the production of strong jets. We construct light curves for both on- and off-axis (with respect to the jet) observers to account for the anisotropic nature of the jetted emission. We find that at optical wavelengths, emission from the accretion flow is orders of magnitude brighter than that produced by the jet, even with boosting from synchrotron self-Compton. Comparing to the observed jetted TDE Swift J2058.4+0516, we find that the ZEBRA model accurately captures the timescale for which accretion remains super-Eddington and reproduces the luminosity of the transient. However, we find the shape of the light curves deviate at early times and the radius and temperature of our modelled ZEBRA are $\sim2.7 - 4.1$ times smaller and $\sim1.4 - 2.3$ times larger, respectively, than observed. We suggest that this indicates the ZEBRA inflates more, and more rapidly, than currently predicted by the model, and we discuss possible extensions to the model to account for this. Such refinements, coupled with valuable new data from upcoming large scale surveys, could help to resolve the nature of super-Eddington TDEs and how they are powered.

subject: 590 Tiere (Zoologie)

description: During odor sensing the activity of principal neurons of the mammalian olfactory bulb, the mitral and tufted cells (MTCs), occurs in repetitive bursts that are synchronized to respiration, reminiscent of hippocampal theta-gamma coupling. Axonless granule cells (GCs) mediate self- and lateral inhibitory interactions between the excitatory MTCs via reciprocal dendrodendritic synapses. We have explored long-term plasticity at this synapse by using a theta burst stimulation (TBS) protocol and variations thereof. GCs were excited via glomerular stimulation in acute brain slices. We find that TBS induces exclusively long-term depression in the majority of experiments, whereas single bursts ("single-sniff paradigm") can elicit both long-term potentiation and depression. Statistical analysis predicts that the mechanism underlying this bidirectional plasticity involves the proportional addition or removal of presynaptic release sites. Gamma stimulation with the same number of APs as in TBS was less efficient in inducing plasticity. Both TBS- and "single-sniff paradigm"-induced plasticity depend on NMDA receptor activation. Since the onset of plasticity is very rapid and requires little extra activity, we propose that these forms of plasticity might play a role already during an ongoing search for odor sources. Our results imply that components of both short-term and long-term olfactory memory may be encoded at this synapse.
