description: We study the inner horizons of rotating and charged black holes in anti-de Sitter space. These black holes have a classical analytic extension through the inner horizon to additional asymptotic regions. If this extension survives in the quantum theory, it requires particular analytic properties in a dual CFT, which give a prescription for calculating correlation functions for operators placed on any asymptotic boundary of the maximally extended spacetime. We show that for charged black holes in three or greater dimensions, and rotating black holes in four or greater dimensions, these analytic properties are inconsistent in the dual CFT, implying the absence of an analytic extension for quantum fields past the inner horizon. Thus, we find that strong cosmic censorship holds for all AdS black holes except rotating BTZ. To further study the latter case, we insert classical perturbations near the boundary at late times, producing shockwaves traveling along the inner horizon. We holographically compute CFT correlators in this background that probe a high energy scattering process near the inner horizon and argue that the shockwave does not destabilize the inner horizon violently enough to prevent signaling between different asymptotic regions of the Penrose diagram. This provides evidence that the rotating BTZ black hole does violate the strong cosmic censorship conjecture.

description: We introduce a simplification method for light probe configurations that preserves the indirect illumination distribution in scenes with diverse lighting conditions. An iterative graph simplification algorithm discards the probes that, according to a set of evaluation points, have the least impact on the global light field. Our approach is simple, generic and aims at improving the repetitive and often non-intuitive and tedious task of placing light probes on complex virtual environments.

description: We investigate the thermal-driven charge density wave (CDW) transition of two cubic superconducting intermetallic systems Lu(Pt1-xPdx)2In and (Sr1-xCax)3Ir4Sn13 by means of x-ray diffraction technique. A detailed analysis of the CDW modulation superlattice peaks as function of temperature is performed for both systems as the CDW transition temperature T_CDW is suppressed to zero by an non-thermal control parameter. Our results indicate an interesting crossover of the classical thermal-driven CDW order parameter critical exponent from a three-dimensional universality class to a mean-field tendency, as T_CDW vanishes. Such behavior might be associated with presence of quantum fluctuations which influences the classical second-order phase transition, strongly suggesting the presence of a quantum critical point (QCP) at T_CDW = 0. This also provides experimental evidence that the effective dimensionality exceeds its upper critical dimension due to a quantum phase transition.

description: Health concerns seem to influence consumers’ decisions for purchasing local foods. Maples et al. (2013), Onozaka, Nurse, and Thilmany McFadden (2010), and Wolf, Apitler, and Ahern (2005) found that health motivation can be a significant driver of local foods purchase, yet it remains unclear what specific health aspects determine consumer purchase decisions. For example, consumers with a delicate health history might be trying to fend off disease. In this study, we explore the effects of specific health variables (family illness incidences focusing six particular diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, back/joint pain, Alzheimer/dementia and cancer,) on buying behavior of local foods. We examine the decisions of whether to visit farmer’s markets, visit farm stands, and participate in community supported agriculture (CSA) using a binary probit model. Results indicate that cancer and obesity are statistically significant to purchase local foods. Other important factors include greater physical activity level, following special diet and availability of farmers’ markets. Findings might help local food sellers in the Southeastern United States gain a deeper understanding of how consumers’ health background and health concerns affect their choice of local food outlets.

description: Recent advances in consumer-grade 3D printers have enabled the fabrication of personal artifacts in aesthetically pleasing full color. However, the printed colors are usually different from the actual user desired colors due to the mismatching of droplets when the color reproduction workflow has been changed or the color profile setup is missing. In this paper, we present a preliminary experiment to investigate color reproduction errors in consumer-grade inkjet FDM 3D printers. Our results suggest that solving the problem requires initiating the workflow to minimize color reproduction errors such as using CMYK or sRGB color profiles. We also found that the mismatched color gamut between the input's desired texture and the 3D printed output depends on different file formats, and this finding requires future investigation.

description: Die Stimmberechtigten des Kantons Zürich nahmen am 17. Juni 2012 die in der Form der allgemeinen Anregung unterbreitete kantonale Volksinitiative zum Erhalt der landwirtschaftlich und ökologisch wertvollen Flächen (Kulturlandinitiative) mit 54,5 % Ja-Stimmen an. Die Initiative verlangt im Wesentlichen, «dass die wertvollen Landwirtschaftsflächen
und Flächen von besonderer ökologischer Bedeutung wirksam geschützt werden und in ihrem Bestand und ihrer Qualität erhalten bleiben […], mit Ausnahme der zum Zeitpunkt der Annahme der Initiative rechtskräftig der Bauzone zugewiesenen Flächen.»
Der Kantonsrat (Legislative) verweigerte indes die Umsetzung der Initiative, indem er am 19. Mai 2014 nicht auf die Umsetzungsvorlage des Regierungsrates eintrat. Zwei Monate zuvor, am 18. März 2014, hatte der Kantonsrat die Festsetzung des revidierten Richtplans beschlossen.
Infolge Nichteintretensentscheids reichten die Grünen Kanton Zürich und die Mitinitiantin Marionna Schlatter- Schmid beim Bundesgericht Stimmrechtsbeschwerde ein.
Die Beschwerdeführerinnen rügten bei Bundesgericht, mit dem flexiblen Mittel des Richtplans, welcher weiterhin eine Siedlungsentwicklung auf Kosten von Kulturland zulasse, werde die Kulturlandinitiative nicht umgesetzt. Der Kantonsrat und der Regierungsrat vertraten die gegenteilige Ansicht.

description: We investigate the differences between distributing entanglement using star and ring type network topologies. Assuming symmetrically distributed users, we asses the relative merits of the two network topologies as a function of the number of users when the amount of resources and the type of the quantum channel are kept fixed. For limited resources, we find that the topology better suited for entanglement distribution could differ from that which is more suitable for classical communications.

description: This study used experimental data from West Lafayette, Indiana to examine the economic benefits of applying fungicide to corn. The average improvements in yield, gross revenue, and net return (gross revenue minus fungicide and application cost) were 4 bushels per acre, $19 per acre, and -$9 per acre, respectively. Stochastic dominance was used to compare the fungicide application treatments to a no fungicide application alternative. Individual fungicides were part of the stochastic dominance efficient sets. However, with recent corn prices, the improvement in yields and gross revenue would not be high enough to make the individual fungicides economically viable.

photorealistic rendering

description: Surface aligned splatting is a popular rendering technique to visualize reconstructed meshes and point clouds scanned from the real world. Such data typically presents some degree of noise that jeopardizes any attempt to render a perfectly smooth normal field and, more importantly, the estimated tangent vector fields are not locally continuous, thus affecting the overall visual quality. In this work, we compare two splat orientation techniques for rendering 3D noisy data, namely, the Covariance Matrix and the Householder formula. We evaluate both techniques using four publicly available meshes with synthetic noise, and four scanned point clouds with natural noise. Results indicate that the Householder technique is better suited for surface aligned splatting as it generates more coherent tangent vector fields, while Covariance Matrix reacts poorly to noise.

Fluorescent iron lines as a probe of astrophysical black hole systems

description: (abridged) With most physicists and astrophysicists in agreement that black holes do indeed exist, the focus of astrophysical black hole research has shifted to the detailed properties of these systems. Nature has provided us with an extremely useful probe of the region very close to an accreting black hole - X-ray irradiation of relatively cold material in the vicinity of the black hole can imprint characteristic features into the X-ray spectra of black hole systems, most notably the Kalpha fluorescent line of iron. Detailed X-ray spectroscopy of these features can be used to study Doppler and gravitational redshifts, thereby providing key information on the location and kinematics of the cold material. This is a powerful tool that allows us to probe within a few gravitational radii, or less, of the event horizon. Here, we present a comprehensive review of relativistic iron line studies for both accreting stellar mass black holes (i.e., Galactic Black Hole Candidate systems; GBHCs), and accreting supermassive black holes (i.e., active galactic nuclei; AGN). After a pedagogical introduction to black hole astrophysics, we discuss studies of relativistic iron lines in the AGN context and show how differences between classes of AGN can be diagnosed using X-ray spectroscopy. Furthermore, through a detailed discussion of one particular object (MCG--6-30-15), we illustrate how the exotic physics of black hole spin are now open to observational study. We proceed to discuss GBHCs, which turn out to possess rather more complicated X-ray spectra, making robust conclusions more difficult to draw. However, even in these cases, modern X-ray observatories are now providing convincing evidence for relativistic effects. We conclude by discussing the science that can be addressed by future X-ray observatories.

description: We propose a general purpose approach to detect landmarks with improved temporal consistency, and personalization. Most sparse landmark detection methods rely on laborious, manually labelled landmarks, where inconsistency in annotations over a temporal volume leads to sub-optimal landmark learning. Further, high-quality landmarks with personalization is often hard to achieve. We pose landmark detection as an image translation problem. We capture two sets of unpaired marked (with paint) and unmarked videos. We then use a generative adversarial network and cyclic consistency to predict deformations of landmark templates that simulate markers on unmarked images until these images are indistinguishable from ground-truth marked images. Our novel method does not rely on manually labelled priors, is temporally consistent, and image class agnostic - face, and hand landmarks detection examples are shown.

description: Learning 3D representation of a single image is challenging considering the ambiguity, occlusion, and perspective project of an object in an image. Previous works either seek image annotation or 3D supervision to learn meaningful factors of an object or employ a StyleGAN-like framework for image synthesis. While the first ones rely on tedious annotation and even dense geometry ground truth, the second solutions usually cannot guarantee consistency of shapes between different view images. In this paper, we combine the advantages of both frameworks and propose an image disentanglement method based on 3D representation. Results show our method facilitates unsupervised 3D representation learning while preserving consistency between images.

description: This work proposes the use of barycentric interpolation on enclosing simplices of sample points to infer a reconstructed function from discrete data. In particular, we compare the results of trilinear and tetrahedral interpolation over regular 3D grids of second order spherical harmonics (SH) light probes. In general, tetrahedral interpolation only requires four data samples per query in contrast to the 8 samples necessary for trilinear interpolation, at the expense of a more expensive weight computation. Our tetrahedral implementation subdivides the cubical cells into six tetrahedra and uses the barycentric coordinates of the query position as weights to blend the probe data. We show that barycentric coordinates can be calculated efficiently in shaders for our particular tetrahedral decomposition of the cube, resulting only in simple arithmetic and conditional move operations.

An Unbiased Hybrid Rendering Approach to Path Guiding

Publisher: name: The Eurographics Association
Year: 2021

description: When we think of hybrid rendering of rasterization and ray tracing, we often consider rasterization as a mean to solve the primary rays and then consider ray tracing as a mean to add secondary effects. We take a different approach to combine ray tracing and rasterization, in which our final output images are still produced with a path tracer. We leverage the GPU rasterization to build the necessary data that are required for path guidng, thus improves the convergence of our path tracer. We borrow the ideas of Voxel Cone Tracing and implement it in GPU shaders to build the path guiding data. The advantage of our proposed hybrid approach is that it maintains the unbiased results of a Monte Carlo path tracer while incurring relatively small performance hit in path guiding, as shown in our preliminary results.

description: Introduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD), is a disorder debilitant characterized by the reduction of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons within the midbrain, specifically in the substantia nigra pars compacta, which results for the dopamine (DA) depletion in the striatum. Dopamine replacement therapies with the 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine (Levodopa or L-DOPA) represent the most common strategy to treat PD. However, chronic administration of L-DOPA results in abnormal involuntary movement (AIMs). Thus, the present study aimed to prospect patents of alternative treatment strategies for L-DOPA-induced dyskinesias. Areas covered: This review covers the therapeutic patents published over the 2001–2019 period in the WIPO, INPI, and ESPACENET, which report treatment strategies for L-DOPA induced dyskinesias (LIDs). Expert opinion: In recent years, several pharmaceutical companies, as well as universities and researchers have tested effective compounds for LIDs treatment, showing substances that act on central pathways as antagonists and agonists of the serotonergic system, which may result in the key to onset of LIDs in animal models of PD. Future works aiming to elucidate the L-DOPA, Flibanserin, Eltoprazine, and Pridopidina mechanisms of action on the receptors of the serotonergic system and D2 receptors of the indirect pathway, will allow the development of effective therapies for LIDs.

Interest point and salient region detections
Camera calibration

description: The precise registration between multiple depth cameras is a crucial prerequisite for many applications. Previous techniques frequently rely on RGB or IR images and checkerboard targets for feature detection, partly due to the depth data being inherently noisy. This limitation prohibits the usage for use-cases where neither is available. We present a novel registration approach that solely uses depth data for feature detection, making it more universally applicable while still achieving robust and precise results. We propose a combination of a custom 3D registration target - a lattice with regularly-spaced holes - and a feature detection algorithm that is able to reliably extract the lattice and its features from noisy depth images.

description: Recent results on transverse mass spectra of $J/ψ$ and $ψ^{\prime}$ mesons in central Pb+Pb collisions at 158 A$\cdot$GeV are considered. It is shown that those results support a hypothesis of statistical production of charmonia at hadronization and suggest the early thermal freeze--out of $J/ψ$ and $ψ^{\prime}$ mesons. Based on this approach the collective transverse velocity of hadronizing quark gluon plasma is estimated to be $ \approx 0.2$. Predictions for transverse mass spectra of hidden and open charm mesons at SPS and RHIC are discussed.

description: There is a growing belief that the mode coupling theory is the proper microscopic theory for the dynamics of the undercooled liquid above a critical temperature T_c. In addition, there is some evidence that the system leaves the saddlepoints of the energy landscape to settle in the valleys at this critical temperature. Finally, there is a microscopic theory for the entropy at the calorimetric glass transition T_g by Mezard and Parisi, which allows to calculate the Kauzmann temperature from the atomic pair potentials. The dynamics of the frozen glass phase is at present limited to phenomenological models. In the spirit of the energy landscape concept, one considers an ensemble of independent asymmetric double-well potentials with a wide distribution of barrier heights and asymmetries (ADWP or Gilroy-Phillips model). The model gives an excellent description of the relaxation of glasses up to about T_g/4. Above this temperature, the interaction between different relaxation centers begins to play a role. One can show that the interaction reduces the number of relaxation centers needed to bring the shear modulus down to zero by a factor of three.

description: An equilibrium system which is perturbed by an external potential relaxes to a new equilibrium state, a process obeying the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. In contrast, perturbing by nonconservative forces yields a nonequilibrium steady state, and the fluctuation-dissipation theorem can in general not be applied. Here we exploit a freedom inherent to linear response theory: Force fields which perform work that does not couple statistically to the considered observable can be added without changing the response. Using this freedom, we demonstrate that the fluctuation-dissipation theorem can be applied for certain nonconservative forces. We discuss the case of a nonconservative force field linear in particle coordinates, where the mentioned freedom can be formulated in terms of symmetries. In particular, for the case of shear, this yields a response formula, which we find advantageous over the known Green-Kubo relation in terms of statistical accuracy.

description: Finite temperature Euclidean SU(2) lattice gauge fields generated in the confinement phase close to the deconfinement phase transition are subjected to cooling. The aim is to identify long-living, almost-classical local excitations which carry (generically non-integer) topological charge. Two kinds of spatial boundary conditions (fixed holonomy and standard periodic boundary conditions) are applied. For the lowest-action almost-classical configurations we find that their relative probability semi-quantitatively agrees for both types of boundary conditions. We find calorons with unit topological charge as well as (anti-)selfdual lumps (BPS-monopoles or dyons) combined in pairs of non-integer (equal or opposite sign) topological charge. For calorons and separated pairs of equal-sign dyons obtained by cooling we have found that (i) the gluon field is well-described by Kraan-van Baal solutions of the Euclidean Yang-Mills field equations and (ii) the lowest Wilson-fermion modes are well-described by analytic solutions of the corresponding Dirac equation. For metastable configurations found at higher action, the multi-center structure can be interpreted in terms of dyons and antidyons, using the gluonic and fermionic indicators as in the dyon-pair case. Additionally, the Abelian monopole structure and field strength correlators between the centers are useful to analyse the configurations in terms of dyonic constituents. We argue that a semi-classical approximation of the non-zero temperature path integral should be built on superpositions of solutions with non-trivial holonomy.

 Myrmosa nigriceps var. gaullei Invrea 1952: 20, ♂, (holotype – " Constantinopoli " (Turkey, Istanbul), 29.VI 1919, De Gaulle, in Mus. Nat. d'Hist. Natur., Paris.
 Krombeinella nigriceps gaullei: Lelej 2002: 18 (European Turkey).
 Krombeinella nigriceps: Invrea 1952: 19, 2 ♀ ["Constantinopoli" (Turkey, Istanbul)]; Yildirim 2006: 278, ♂ (Bilecik).
 Material examined. Turkey: Bilecik: 600 m, 15.VIII.1995, 3 ♂ (identified by G. Pagliano as Krombeinella nigriceps). Bulgaria: Slancev Brjag, 28.VI-17.VII.1971 (Z. Pádr), 2 ♂ [IBSS].
 Distribution. Turkey: European (Istanbul) and Asian (Bilecik) parts, Bulgaria (new record).
 Remarks. The male of K. gaullei differs from K. nigriceps S.S. Saunders 1850 by having black mesoscutellum and metanotum (red in K. nigriceps) and by lacking precoxal denticles on mesopleuron beneath. The female of this species (with the same label as holotype) was described (Invrea 1952) as K. nigriceps. We deem these characters significant to warrant designation as a discrete species.

description: We compute the low energy threshold corrections to neutrino masses and mixing in the Standard Model (SM) and its minimal supersymmetric version, using the effective theory technique. We demonstrate that they stabilize the renormalization group (RG) running with respect to the choice of the scale to which the RG equation is integrated. This confirms the correctness of the recent re-derivation of the RGE for the SM in hep-ph/0108005. The explicit formulae for the low energy threshold corrections corrections can be applied to specific models of neutrino masses and mixing.

HIGH ANGULAR RESOLUTION WAVEFRONT SENSOR

description: The Provence Adaptive optics PYramid Run System (PAPYRUS) is a pyramid-based Adaptive Optics (AO)
system installed at the Coude focus of the 1.52m telescope (T152) at the Observatoire de Haute Provence (OHP).
PAPYRUS is a young researcher project that aims to strengthen our knowledge in AO. This bench is an education
tool and technological platform to test and better understand Fourier Filtering Wave-Front sensors operating on
sky.
In the coming months, we will be improving the AO bench and implementing a second stage of correction with a
vector Zernike wavefront sensor (vZWFS). This 2nd stage aims to significantly improve the AO correction of the
1st stage by reducing the temporal error, which is the main limitation of the PAPYRUS bench. To do so, the 2nd
stage will work in the NIR and with a low-order Deformable Mirror (DM) with fast control frequency.
We present the optical setup of this 2nd stage based on a vZWFS. We also present the first simulation results
regarding the 2nd stage obtained with OOPAO.

description: Context. The pursuit of more realistic spectroscopic modelling and consistent abundances has led us to begin a new series of papers designed to improve current solar and stellar abundances of various atomic species. To achieve this, we have began updating the three-dimensional (3D) non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) radiative transfer code, Multi3D, and the equivalent one-dimensional (1D) non-LTE radiative transfer code, MULTI. Aims. We examine our improvements to these codes by redetermining the solar barium abundance. Barium was chosen for this test as it is an important diagnostic element of the s-process in the context of galactic chemical evolution. New Ba II + H collisional data for excitation and charge exchange reactions computed from first principles had recently become available and were included in the model atom. The atom also includes the effects of isotopic line shifts and hyperfine splitting. Method. A grid of 1D LTE barium lines were constructed with MULTI and fit to the four Ba II lines available to us in the optical region of the solar spectrum. Abundance corrections were then determined in 1D non-LTE, 3D LTE, and 3D non-LTE. A new 3D non-LTE solar barium abundance was computed from these corrections. Results. We present for the first time the full 3D non-LTE barium abundance of $A({\rm Ba})=2.27\pm0.02\pm0.01$, which was derived from four individual fully consistent barium lines. Errors here represent the systematic and random errors, respectively.

description: Mammalian meiotic recombination proceeds via repair of hundreds of programmed DNA double-strand breaks, which requires choreographed binding of RPA, DMC1, and RAD51 to single-stranded DNA substrates. High-resolution in vivo binding maps of these proteins provide insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms. When assayed in F1-hybrid mice, these maps can distinguish the broken chromosome from the chromosome used as template for repair, revealing more mechanistic detail and enabling the structure of the recombination intermediates to be inferred. By applying CRISPR-Cas9 mutagenesis directly on F1-hybrid embryos, we have extended this approach to explore the molecular detail of recombination when a key component is knocked out. As a proof of concept, we have generated hybrid biallelic knockouts of Dmc1 and built maps of meiotic binding of RAD51 and RPA in them. DMC1 is essential for meiotic recombination, and comparison of these maps with those from wild-type mice is informative about the structure and timing of critical recombination intermediates. We observe redistribution of RAD51 binding and complete abrogation of D-loop recombination intermediates at a molecular level in Dmc1 mutants. These data provide insight on the configuration of RPA in D-loop intermediates and suggest that stable strand exchange proceeds via multiple rounds of strand invasion with template switching in mouse. Our methodology provides a high-throughput approach for characterization of gene function in meiotic recombination at low animal cost.
Non-Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equations: Generalization to real-valued noise using quantum measurement theory

description: Do stochastic Schrödinger equations, also known as unravelings, have a physical interpretation? In the Markovian limit, where the system {\em on average} obeys a master equation, the answer is yes. Markovian stochastic Schrödinger equations generate quantum trajectories for the system state conditioned on continuously monitoring the bath. For a given master equation, there are many different unravelings, corresponding to different sorts of measurement on the bath. In this paper we address the non-Markovian case, and in particular the sort of stochastic \sch equation introduced by Strunz, Di\' osi, and Gisin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 1801 (1999)]. Using a quantum measurement theory approach, we rederive their unraveling which involves complex-valued Gaussian noise. We also derive an unraveling involving real-valued Gaussian noise. We show that in the Markovian limit, these two unravelings correspond to heterodyne and homodyne detection respectively. Although we use quantum measurement theory to define these unravelings, we conclude that the stochastic evolution of the system state is not a true quantum trajectory, as the identity of the state through time is a fiction.
