description: Many discrete integrable systems exhibit the Laurent phenomenon. In this paper, we investigate three integrable systems: the Somos-4 recurrence, the Somos-5 recurrence and a system related to so-called $A_1$ $Q$-system, whose general solutions are derived in terms of Hankel determinant. As a result, we directly confirm that they satisfy the Laurent property. Additionally, it is shown that the Somos-5 recurrence can be viewed as a specified Bäcklund transformation of the Somos-4 recurrence. The related topics about Somos polynomials are also studied.

description: During the COVID-19 pandemic, much of the media focus has been on adaptive immunity, particularly antibody levels and memory T cells. However, immunologists have been striving to decipher how SARS-CoV-2 infection impacts our first line of defence, namely the innate immune system. In early 2022, Program staff from the NIAID at the NIH organized a workshop focusing on the innate immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection and during COVID-19, which was chaired by Ralph Baric, Jenny Ting and John Lambris. Following the meeting, Nature Reviews Immunology invited some of the organizers and speakers to share their thoughts on the key discussion points.

description: Reliable neutron star mass measurements are key to determining the equation-of-state of cold nuclear matter, but these are rare. "Black Widows" and "Redbacks" are compact binaries consisting of millisecond pulsars and semi-degenerate companion stars. Spectroscopy of the optically bright companions can determine their radial velocities, providing inclination-dependent pulsar mass estimates. While inclinations can be inferred from subtle features in optical light curves, such estimates may be systematically biased due to incomplete heating models and poorly-understood variability. Using data from the Fermi Large Area Telescope, we have searched for gamma-ray eclipses from 49 spider systems, discovering significant eclipses in 7 systems, including the prototypical black widow PSR B1957$+$20. Gamma-ray eclipses require direct occultation of the pulsar by the companion, and so the detection, or significant exclusion, of a gamma-ray eclipse strictly limits the binary inclination angle, providing new robust, model-independent pulsar mass constraints. For PSR B1957$+$20, the eclipse implies a much lighter pulsar ($M_{\rm psr} = 1.81 \pm 0.07\,M_{\odot}$) than inferred from optical light curve modelling.

description: The purpose of this study was to determine business owners’ perceptions of a tax lottery system in South Africa. Tax compliance in developing countries is a challenge for governments, which depend on tax revenue to provide public goods and services. A tax lottery system has been recommended for South Africa, where customers would demand receipts for purchases, creating paper trails that would expose tax non-compliant businesses. This study adopts an exploratory approach, using an online survey of suppliers to gauge their perceptions of a South African tax lottery system.

description: Quantum information can be encoded in the set of steady-states (SSS) of a driven-dissipative system. Non steady-states are separated by a large dissipative gap that adiabatically decouples them way while the dynamics inside the SSS is governed by an effective, dissipation-projected, Hamiltonian. The latter results from a highly non-trivial interplay between a weak driving with the fast relaxation process that continuously projects the system back to the SSS. This amounts to a novel type of environment-induced quantum Zeno effect. We prove that the dissipation-projected dynamics is of geometric nature and that it is robust against different types of hamiltonian and dissipative perturbations. Remarkably, in some cases an effective unitary dynamics can emerge out of purely dissipative interactions.

description: We consider N-body problems with homogeneous potential $1/r^{2κ}$ where $κ\in(0,1)$, including the Newtonian case ($κ=1/2$). Given $R>0$ and $T>0$, we find a uniform upper bound for the minimal action of paths binding in time $T$ any two configurations which are contained in some ball of radius $R$. Using cluster partitions, we obtain from these estimates Hölder regularity of the critical action potential (i.e. of the minimal action of paths binding in free time two configurations). As an application, we establish the weak KAM theorem for these N-body problems, i.e. we prove the existence of fixed points of the Lax-Oleinik semigroup and we show that they are global viscosity solutions of the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equation. We also prove that there are invariant solutions for the action of isometries on the configuration space.

description: Spintronics, quantum computing and quantum communication science utilizing cubic semiconductors rely largely on the properties of the hole states, composed of light and heavy hole wavefunction components. The admixture of light-hole (LH) into ground hole state predominately by the heavy hole (HH) would induce unique features of LH in optical transitions, spin relaxation, and spin polarization. We point to an unexpected source of HH-LH mixing in quantum dots, arguing that in contrast with current models the mixing does not reflect the strain between the dot and its matrix and does not scale inversely with the energy splitting between the bulk HH and LH states. Instead, we show via atomistic pseudopotential calculations on a range of strained and unstrained dots of different symmetries that the HH-LH mixing is enabled by the presence in the QD of a dense ladder of intermediate states between the HH and LH states which amplifies and propagates this interaction and leads to "supercoupling" (analogous to super-exchange in magnetism). This explains a number of outstanding puzzles regarding the surprising large coupling seen in unstrained QD (GaAs/AlAs) of ideal shapes and the surprising fact that in strained QD (InAs/GaAs) the coupling is very strong despite the fact that the 12-fold increase in bulk HH-LH splitting overrides the ~4 fold enhancement of the coupling matrix element by strain in comparison with unstrained GaAs QDs.

description: The Tunka Advanced Instrument for Gamma- and cosmic-ray Astronomy (TAIGA) is a multicomponent experiment for the measurement of TeV to PeV gamma- and cosmic rays. Our goal is to establish a novel hybrid direct air shower technique, sufficient to access the energy domain of the long-sought Pevatrons. The hybrid air Cherenkov light detection technique combines the strengths of the HiSCORE shower front sampling array, and two $\thicksim$4 m class, $\sim$9.6 deg field of view Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs). The HiSCORE array provides good angular and shower core position resolution, while the IACTs provide the image shape and orientation for gamma-hadron separation. In future, an additional muon detector will be used for hadron tagging at $\ge$ 100 TeV energies. Here, only data from the first IACT of the TAIGA experiment are used. A random forest algorithm was trained using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations and real data, and applied to 85 h of selected observational data tracking the Crab Nebula at a mean zenith angle of 33.5 deg, resulting in a threshold energy of 6 TeV for this dataset. The analysis was performed using the gammapy package. A total of 163.5 excess events were detected, with a statistical significance of 8.5 sigma. The observed spectrum of the Crab Nebula is best fit with a power law above 6 TeV with a flux normalisation of $(3.20\pm0.42)\cdot10^{-10} TeV^{-1} cm^{-2} s^{-1})$ at a reference energy of 13 TeV and a spectral index of $-2.74\pm0.16$.

description: This paper discusses the nanopores emerging and developing in a liquid dielectric under the action of the ponderomotive electrostrictive forces in a nonuniform electric field. It is shown that the gradient of the electric field in the vicinity of the rupture (cavitation nanopore) substantially increases and determines whether the rupture grows or collapses. The cavitation rupture in the liquid (nanopore) tends to stretch along the lines of the original field. The mechanism of the breakdown associated with the generation of secondary ruptures in the vicinity of the poles of the nanopore is proposed. The estimations of the extension time for nanopore in water and oil (polar and nonpolar liquids, respectively) are presented. A new mechanism of nano- and subnanosecond breakdown in the insulating (transformer) oil that can be realized in the vicinity of water microdroplets in modern nanosecond high-voltage devices is considered

Evolutionary implications of a magnetar interpretation for GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3

description: The radio pulsar GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3 has an extremely long spin period ($P = 1091.17\, \mbox{s}$), and yet seemingly continues to spin down rapidly ($\dot{P} < 1.2 \times 10^{-9}\, \mbox{ss}^{-1}$). The magnetic field strength that is implied, if the source is a neutron star undergoing magnetic dipole braking, could exceed $10^{16}\,\mbox{G}$. This object may therefore be the most magnetised neutron star observed to date. In this paper, a critical analysis of a magnetar interpretation for the source is provided. (i) A minimum polar magnetic field strength of $B \sim 5 \times 10^{15}\,\mbox{G}$ appears to be necessary for the star to activate as a radio pulsar, based on conventional `death valley' assumptions. (ii) Back-extrapolation from magnetic braking and Hall-plastic-Ohm decay suggests that a large angular momentum reservoir was available at birth to support intense field amplification. (iii) The observational absence of X-rays constrains the star's field strength and age, as the competition between heating from field decay and Urca cooling implies a surface luminosity as a function of time. If the object is an isolated, young ($\sim 10\, \mbox{kyr}$) magnetar with a present-day field strength of $B \gtrsim 10^{16}\,\mbox{G}$, the upper limit ($\approx 10^{30}\, \mbox{erg s}^{-1}$) set on its thermal luminosity suggests it is cooling via a direct Urca mechanism.

Then, we compute the reflection and transmission coefficients and the absorption cross section for massive charged fermionic fields, and we show that the absorption cross section vanishes at the low and high frequency limits. However, there is a range of frequencies where the absorption cross section is not null. Furthermore, we study the effect of the mass and electric charge of the fermionic field over the absorption cross section.

description: We study a system of $N$ particles interacting through the Kac collision, with $m$ of them interacting, in addition, with a Maxwellian thermostat at temperature $\frac{1}β$. We use two indicators to understand the approach to the equilibrium Gaussian state. We prove that i) the spectral gap of the evolution operator behaves as $\frac{m}{N}$ for large $N$ ii) the relative entropy approaches its equilibrium value (at least) at an eventually exponential rate $\sim \frac{m}{N^2}$ for large $N$. The question of having non-zero entropy production at time $0$ remains open. A relationship between the Maxwellian thermostat and the thermostat used in Bonetto, Loss, Vaidyanathan (J. Stat. Phys. 156(4):647-667, 2014) is established through a van Hove limit.

description: In the past few decades, the world has witnessed a rapid growth in mobile communication and reaped great benefits from it. Even though the fourth generation (4G) mobile communication system is just being deployed worldwide, proliferating mobile demands call for newer wireless communication technologies with even better performance. Consequently, the fifth generation (5G) system is already emerging in the research field. However, simply evolving the current mobile networks can hardly meet such great expectations, because over the years the infrastructures have generally become ossified, closed, and vertically constructed. Aiming to establish a new paradigm for 5G mobile networks, in this article, we propose a cross-layer software-defined 5G network architecture. By jointly considering both the network layer and the physical layer together, we establish the two software-defined programmable components, the control plane and the cloud computing pool, which enable an effective control of the mobile network from the global perspective and benefit technological innovations. Specifically, by the cross-layer design for software-defining, the logically centralized and programmable control plane abstracts the control functions from the network layer down to the physical layer, through which we achieve the fine-grained controlling of mobile network, while the cloud computing pool provides powerful computing capability to implement the baseband data processing of multiple heterogeneous networks. We discuss the main challenges of our architecture, including the fine-grained control strategies, network virtualization, and programmability. The architecture significantly benefits the convergence towards heterogeneous networks and it enables much more controllable, programmable and evolvable mobile networks.

description: Two major glycosaminoglycan types, heparan sulfate (HS) and chondroitin sulfate (CS), control many aspects of development and physiology in a type-specific manner. HS and CS are attached to core proteins via a common linker tetrasaccharide, but differ in their polymer backbones. How core proteins are specifically modified with HS or CS has been an enduring mystery. By reconstituting glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis in vitro, we establish that the CS-initiating N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase CSGALNACT2 modifies all glycopeptide substrates equally, whereas the HS-initiating N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase EXTL3 is selective. Structure-function analysis reveals that acidic residues in the glycopeptide substrate and a basic exosite in EXTL3 are critical for specifying HS biosynthesis. Linker phosphorylation by the xylose kinase FAM20B accelerates linker synthesis and initiation of both HS and CS, but has no effect on the subsequent polymerisation of the backbone. Our results demonstrate that modification with CS occurs by default and must be overridden by EXTL3 to produce HS.

description: For the last two decades, experimental information on nuclear level densities for about 60 different nuclei has been obtained on the basis of the Oslo method. While each of these measurements has been typically compared to one or a few level density models, a global study including all the measurements has been missing. The present study provides a systematic comparison between Oslo data and six global level density models for 42 nuclei for which $s$-wave resonance spacings are also available. We apply a coherent normalization procedure to the Oslo data for each of the six different models, all being treated on the same footing. Our quantitative analysis shows that the constant-temperature model presents the best global description of the Oslo data, closely followed by the mean-field plus combinatorial model and Hartree-Fock plus statistical model. Their accuracies are quite similar, so that it remains difficult to clearly favour one of these models. When considering energies above the threshold where the experimental level scheme is complete, all the six models are shown to lead to rather similar accuracies with respect to Oslo data. The recently proposed shape method can, in principle, improve the situation since it provides an absolute estimate of the excitation-energy dependence of the measured level densities. We show for the specific case of $^{112}$Cd that the shape method could exclude the Hartree-Fock plus statistical model. Such an analysis remains to be performed for the bulk of data for which the shape method can be applied to the Oslo measurements before drawing conclusions on the general quality of a given nuclear level density model.

description: The European H2020 SEALIVE project [1] gathering 24 partners targets the development of new biobased formulations to replace current plastic produced from fossil feedstock within the framework of innovative circular bioeconomy. These new materials have to be biodegradable, compostable and/or easily sorted to be recycled.
 Marine and freshwater microalgae feedstock are seen as promising candidates since they do not require arable lands (preventing competition with food production), they can quickly produce multiple metabolites which can be integrated in bioplastic formulations, and they still have the advantage of capturing atmospheric CO2 for carbon mitigation purposes. Starch is known for being used as a natural biopolymer base to be incorporated in plastics blends [2], whereas Chlorella vulgaris is well known to be an excellent starch producer [3] and a robust microalga, which can be cultivated at industrial scale.
 C. vulgaris is nowadays mainly produced for human nutrition, feed and agrochemical applications [4]. Focusing the bioplastics market, we propose a new C. vulgaris biorefinery scheme with three target components: starch, pigments and antioxidant molecules. Starch can be used as the base material for plastic blends; pigments are efficient fluorescent markers, which can improve the plastic recyclability; and finally, the antioxidant molecules can integrate the plastic blends, in order to decrease their
 degradation under natural light conditions. To optimize volumetric starch productivity and thus decrease the production costs of the algal starch, we developed an original semi-continuous culture strategy for C. vulgaris. Whereas high biomass productivity is obtained in a first photobioreactor, starch accumulation is quickly triggered once the culture is subjected to nutrients-deprived medium and high light conditions in a second photobioreactor, reaching a maximal starch content up to nearly 70 %DW.

description: The aim of the present paper is to provide a preliminary investigation of the thermodynamics of particles obeying monotone statistics. To render the potential physical applications realistic, we propose a modified scheme called block-monotone, based on a partial order arising from the natural one on the spectrum of a positive Hamiltonian with compact resolvent. The block-monotone scheme is never comparable with the weak monotone one and is reduced to the usual monotone scheme whenever all the eigenvalues of the involved Hamiltonian are non-degenerate. Through a detailed analysis of a model based on the quantum harmonic oscillator, we can see that: (a) the computation of the grand-partition function does not require the Gibbs correction factor $n!$ (connected with the indistinguishability of particles) in the various terms of its expansion with respect to the activity; and (b) the decimation of terms contributing to the grand-partition function leads to a kind of "exclusion principle" analogous to the Pauli exclusion principle enjoined by Fermi particles, which is more relevant in the high-density regime and becomes negligible in the low-density regime, as expected.

description: We previously developed an automatic track scanning system which enables the detection of large-angle nuclear fragments in the nuclear emulsion films of the OPERA experiment. As a next step, we have investigated this system's track recognition capability for large-angle minimum ionizing particles $(1.0 \leq |tan θ| \leq 3.5)$. This paper shows that, for such tracks, the system has a detection efficiency of 95$\%$ or higher and reports the achieved angular accuracy of the automatically recognized tracks. This technology is of general purpose and will likely contribute not only to various analyses in the OPERA experiment, but also to future experiments, e.g. on low-energy neutrino and hadron interactions, or to future research on cosmic rays using nuclear emulsions carried by balloons.

However, its yield is low in South Omo zone due to different production problems such as lack of improved varieties, lodging, and moisture stress in dry areas. A participatory finger millet variety selection was conducted at Kaysa, Baytesimal and Alga kebeles of Debube Ari District, South Omo Zone during the 2019-cropping season to identify high yielding finger millet variety/varieties .The field experiments was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The combined analysis's of variance results revealed that there were significant (p<0.05) differences among varieties based on the recorded parameters except the harvest index. The maximum combined mean grain yield obtained to the varieties: Tadesse, Tesema and Kako-1 were 3746.75 kg ha-1, 3691.94 kg ha-1, and 3593.42 kg ha-1, respectively. While the minimum grain yield was recorded to variety, BKFM-0010 was 1341.18 kg ha-1. Regarding farmers' preferences, variety Kako-1 and Tesema had higher grain yield followed by variety Tadesse. Based on data from researchers and farmers, varieties Tadesse, Tesema, and Kako-1 were the best varieties for the test agro-ecologies. Therefore; varieties; Tadesse, Tesema and Kako-1 could be recommended and popularized for use in the test areas and similar agro-ecologies.

description: The transition region between the Sun's corona and chromosphere is important to the mass and energy transfer from the lower atmosphere to the corona; consequently, this region has been studied intensely with ultraviolet (UV) and extreme ultraviolet observations. A major result of these studies is that the amount of plasma at temperatures smaller than 100 000 K, is far too large to be compatible with the standard theory of thermal conductivity. However, it is not clear whether the disagreement lies with a problem in the observations or in the theory. We address this issue by analysing high-spatial and temporal resolution EUV observations from an X1.6-class flare taken with the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and the Solar Dynamic Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (SDO/AIA). These data allow us to isolate the emission of flare loops from that of surrounding structures. We compare the Emission Measures (EMs) derived from the C II 1334.525Ang., Si IV 1402.770Ang transition region spectral lines, the Fe XXI 1354.066Ang flare line and the AIA 171Ang coronal images. We find that the EM ratios are incompatible with a standard conduction-dominated transition region model. Furthermore, the large increases in the EM magnitudes due to flare heating make it highly unlikely that the disagreement between data and theory is due to observational uncertainties in the source of the emission. We conclude that the standard Spitzer Harm thermal conductivity must be invalid for, at least, flare loops. We discuss the possibility that turbulent suppression of thermal conduction can account for our results.

Globally minimizing parabolic motions in the Newtonian N-body problem

description: We consider the $N$-body problem in $\mathbb{R}^d$ with the newtonian potential $1/r$. We prove that for every initial configuration $x_i$ and for every minimizing normalized central configuration $x_0$, there exists a collision-free parabolic solution starting from $x_i$ and asymptotic to $x_0$. This solution is a minimizer in every time interval. The proof exploits the variational structure of the problem, and it consists in finding a convergent subsequence in a family of minimizing trajectories. The hardest part is to show that this solution is parabolic and asymptotic to $x_0$.

Spiral Density Waves in M81. II. Hydrodynamic Simulations for Gas Response to Stellar Spiral Density Waves

description: Gas response to the underlying stellar spirals is explored for M81 using unmagnetized hydrodynamic simulations. Constrained within the uncertainty of observations, 18 simulations are carried out to study the effects of selfgravity and to cover the parameter space comprising three different sound speeds and three different arm strengths. The results are confronted with those data observed at wavelengths of 8 $μ$m and 21 cm. In the outer disk, the ring-like structure observed in 8 $μ$m image is consistent with the response of cold neutral medium with an effective sound speed 7 km s$^{-1}$, while for the inner disk, the presence of spiral shocks can be understood as a result of 4:1 resonances associated with the warm neutral medium with an effective sound speed 19 km s$^{-1}$. Simulations with single effective sound speed alone cannot simultaneously explain the structures in the outer and inner disks. This justifies the coexistence of cold and warm neutral media in M81. The anomalously high streaming motions observed in the northeast arm and the outward shifted turning points in the iso-velocity contours seen along the southwest arm are interpreted as signatures of interactions with companion galaxies. The level of simulated streaming motions narrows down the uncertainty of observed arm strength toward larger amplitudes.

description: We consider an explicit self-similar solution to an energy-supercritical Yang-Mills equation and prove its mode stability. Based on earlier work by one of the authors, we obtain a fully rigorous proof of the nonlinear stability of the self-similar blowup profile. This is a large-data result for a supercritical wave equation. Our method is broadly applicable and provides a general approach to stability problems related to self-similar solutions of nonlinear wave equations.

Esiste un’epica germanica? Alcune note su una questione sfuggente
Creators: name: Ferrari, Fulvio
Publisher: name: AOQU (Achilles Orlando Quixote Ulysses). Rivista di epica
Year: 2020

description: Ogni tentativo di individuare un gruppo di testi che, nell’ambito delle letterature germaniche medievali, possano essere definiti come “poemi epici” incontra difficoltà apparentemente insormontabili. Tali difficoltà sono dovute principalmente al fatto che il concetto stesso di epica è stato elaborato a partire da esempi appartenenti alle culture classiche e, in un momento successivo, anche a partire da esempi romanzi. L’articolo, dopo una discussione generale dei criteri di classificazione adottati da trattazioni comparatistiche e storico-letterarie, prende in esame tre testi narrativi in versi appartenenti a tre distinte tradizioni germaniche – Beowulf, Nibelungenlied ed Erikskrönika – cercando di mettere in luce le difficoltà di collocazione in un tradizionale sistema di generi. Opinione dell’autore è che solo adottando criteri di definizione non rigidi, che tengano conto caso per caso delle interazioni tra generi e tradizioni, è possibile parlare di “epica germanica”.

description: While generally safe, bariatric operations have a variety of possible complications. We present an uncommon complication after gastric bypass revision, namely the creation of an “orphaned” segment of remnant stomach that was left inadvertently in discontinuity, leading to recurrent intra-abdominal abscesses. Sinogram ultimately proved the diagnosis, and the issue was successfully treated using a combination of surgical and endoscopic methods to control the abscess and to allow internal drainage.

description: We consider two types of modifications of Born-Infeld gravity in the Palatini formulation and explore their dynamics in the early universe. One of these families considers $f(R)$ corrections to the Born-Infeld Lagrangian, which can be seen as modifications of the dynamics produced by the quantum effects of matter, while the other consists on different powers of the elementary building block of the Born-Infeld Lagrangian, which we denote by $|\hatΩ|$. We find that the two types of nonsingular solutions that arise in the original Born-Infeld theory are also present in these extensions, being bouncing solutions a stable and robust branch. Singular solutions with a period of approximate de Sitter inflation are found even in universes dominated by radiation.
