Сфираль времени: антисимметрия исторических траекторий Китая и Европы
Creators: name: Басаргин, Олег Сергеевич
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: В настоящем исследовании предпринимается попытка междисциплинарного описания исторических процессов с использованием оригинальной пространственно-временной модели под названием "Сфираль". Эта модель, обладая геометрическим телесным выражением, выступает как структура времени, в которой история не линейна и не циклична в привычном понимании, но представляет собой процесс свития — собирания, уплотнения и вложенности смыслов.

Исходная гипотеза основана на наблюдаемой антисимметрии в историческом движении Китая и Запада, особенно в период осевого времени (VIII–III вв. до н.э.), когда обе цивилизации одновременно продуцировали высшие формы духовности, но в дальнейшем пошли в противоположных направлениях: Китай — в сторону центростремительного свития и формирования Целого, Запад — к экспансии, затем к аннигиляции и распаду на множественные порядки.

description: Sowohl aus aufsichtsrechtlicher, als auch aus unternehmerischer Sicht ist die Auswirkung makroökonomischer Szenarien auf das Kreditrisiko einer Bank wesentlich für ein gründliches Risikomanagement. Basis dieser Arbeit ist ein logistisches Regressionsmodell für die Ausfallwahrscheinlichkeit eines Retail Portfolios. Das PD-Modell wird auf Produktebene hinsichtlich seiner Robustheit und Informationskriterien untersucht und optimiert. Mittels multivariater Regression wird anschließend die Auswirkung verschiedener makroökonomischer Szenarien auf die geschätzte PD analysiert und interpretiert. Ziel ist es die makroökonomischen Treiber zu erkennen und mit Hilfe dieser Information das Risiko frühzeitig erkennen und steuern zu können.
description: The potential impact of macroeconomic developments and crises scenarios on credit risk is not only from regulatory perspective, but also from an entrepreneurial point of view crucial for a rigorously and sales-oriented risk management. Basis of this thesis is a logistic regression model for the probability of default (PD) of a retail portfolio. The PD model on product level is evaluated and improved in terms of robustness and information criterions. The effect of different macroeconomic scenarios on the estimated PD is evaluated, using multivariate regression. The aim of the thesis is to identify and interpret macroeconomic risk drivers to recognize and manage credit risk in a timely manner.

description: We present spectroscopy of stars in the immediate vicinity of the dwarf nova (DN) KZ Gem to confirm its identification, which had been ambiguous in the literature. Analysis of 73 radial velocities spanning from 2014 to 2019 provides a high-precision orbital period of 0.2224628(2)\,d ($\sim5.34$\,hr) and shows KZ\,Gem to be a double-lined DN. Time series photometry taken from 2016 to 2018 shows a variable double-hump modulation with a full amplitude of $\sim0.3$\,mag, along with five Gaussian-like transient events lasting $\sim30$\,min or more. Using the light curve code XRBinary and nonlinear fitting code NMfit, we obtain an optimized binary model of the dwarf nova (DN) KZ Gem, from time series photometry, consisting of a Roche-lobe-filling K type dwarf with a mass transfer rate of $2.7\,-\,7.9\times10^{-10}\,{\rm M}_{\odot}\,{\rm yr}^{-1}$ to a large, cool and thick disk surrounding a white dwarf, in an orbit with an inclination of $51^{\circ}.6(\pm1^{\circ}.4)$. Two hotspots on the disk are demonstrated to cause the observed variations in the ellipsoidal modulations from the secondary star. This physical model is compatible with the Gaia distance of KZ\,Gem.

description: Recent studies provide evidence that income inequality is a relevant driver for the electoral success of populist parties all over Europe. In this article, we aim to understand how exactly increasing income inequality can lead to support for populist parties. More specifically, we discuss four different attitudinal mechanisms from previous research: economic insecurities, trust in political elites, social integration, and national identity. We rely on eight waves of the European Social Survey and find that economic insecurities, trust in political elites, and national identity are linked to rising income inequality and populist support as expected. However, a causal mediation analysis shows that these mechanisms are not sufficient to fully understand the impact of income inequality on support for populists. This finding raises questions regarding the empirical support of existing theories to explain how macroeconomic changes in inequality became a pre-condition for the rise of populist parties.

description: The addition of $SU(2)_L$ triplet fermions of zero hypercharge with the Standard Model (SM) helps to explain the origin of the neutrino mass by the so-called seesaw mechanism. Such a scenario is commonly know as the type-III seesaw model. After the electroweak symmetry breaking the mixings between the light and heavy mass eigenstates of the neutral leptons are developed which play important roles in the study of the charged and neutral multiplets of the triplet fermions at the colliders. In this article we study such interactions to produce these multiplets of the triplet fermion at the electron-positron and electron-proton colliders at different center of mass energies. We focus on the heavy triplets, for example, having mass in the TeV scale so that their decay products including the SM the gauge bosons or Higgs boson can be sufficiently boosted, leading to a fat jet. Hence we probe the mixing between light-heavy mass eigenstates of the neutrinos and compare the results with the bounds obtained by the electroweak precision study.

description: It has been shown within density-functional theory that in Mn$_{12}$-acetate there are effects due to disorder by solvent molecules and a coupling between vibrational and electronic degrees of freedom. We calculate the in-plane principal axes of the second-order anisotropy caused by the second effect and compare them with those of the fourth-order anisotropy due to the first effect. We find that the two types of the principal axes are not commensurate with each other, which results in a complete quenching of the tunnel-splitting oscillation as a function of an applied transverse field.

description: We study a generalization of the Mermin-Peres magic square game to arbitrary rectangular dimensions. After exhibiting some general properties, these rectangular games are fully characterized in terms of their optimal win probabilities for quantum strategies. We find that for $m \times n$ rectangular games of dimensions $m,n \geq 3$ there are quantum strategies that win with certainty, while for dimensions $1 \times n$ quantum strategies do not outperform classical strategies. The final case of dimensions $2 \times n$ is richer, and we give upper and lower bounds that both outperform the classical strategies. Finally, we apply our findings to quantum certified randomness expansion to find the noise tolerance and rates for all magic rectangle games. To do this, we use our previous results to obtain the winning probability of games with a distinguished input for which the devices give a deterministic outcome, and follow the analysis of C. A. Miller and Y. Shi [SIAM J. Comput. 46, 1304 (2017)].

description: Recent magnetic measurements on tetra-nickel molecular magnets [Ni(hmp)(ROH)Cl]$_4$, where R=CH$_3$, CH$_2$CH$_3$, or (CH$_2$)$_2$C(CH$_3$)$_3$ and hmp$^-$ is the monoanion of 2-hydroxymethylpyridine, revealed a strong exchange bias prior to the external magnetic field reversal as well as anomalies in electron paramagnetic resonance peaks at low temperatures. To understand the exchange bias and observed anomalies, we calculate the electronic structure and magnetic properties for the Ni$_4$ molecules with the three different ligands, employing density-functional theory. Considering the optimized structure with possible collinear spin configurations, we determine a total spin of the lowest-energy state to be S=0, which does not agree with experiment. We also calculate magnetic anisotropy barriers for all three types of Ni$_4$ molecules to be in the range of 4-6 K.

Prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection in non-human primates: non-invasive detection with fecal antigen tests
Creators: name: Kimura, Tohru
Publisher: name: Scandinavian Journal of Laboratory Animal Science
Year: 2024

description: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes gastritis and gastric ulcerations in human beings. Natural infection with H. pylori organisms occurs in several non-human primates (Japanese monkeys (Macaca fuscata), rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) and cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis)). The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of H. pylori in 3 experimental macaque species using non-invasive fecal antigen tests. Fecal samples obtained from all the animals were immediately examined by an immunochromatographic test. The overall prevalence to H. pylori infection was relatively low in individually housed laboratory monkeys (9.4%). The prevalence of H. pylori infection tended to be higher in Japanese monkeys (13.7%) as compared with the other monkeys (rhesus monkeys: 5.7%, cynomolgus monkeys: 4.3%). There were, however, no significant differences in H. pylori infection among 3 macaque species. In conclusions, The fecal antigen test non-invasively elucidates the prevalence of H. pylori infection in 3 experimental nonhuman primates. The fecal antigen test presents an effective method for preventive veterinary medicine to monitor the infection status of H. pylori in non-human primates. The fecal antigen test is useful to maintain hygiene of H. pylori in current clean laboratory facilities of non-human primates.

description: N-body simulations are essential tools in physical cosmology to understand the large-scale structure (LSS) formation of the Universe. Large-scale simulations with high resolution are important for exploring the substructure of universe and for determining fundamental physical parameters like neutrino mass. However, traditional particle-mesh (PM) based algorithms use considerable amounts of memory, which limits the scalability of simulations. Therefore, we designed a two-level PM algorithm CUBE towards optimal performance in memory consumption reduction. By using the fixed-point compression technique, CUBE reduces the memory consumption per N-body particle toward 6 bytes, an order of magnitude lower than the traditional PM-based algorithms. We scaled CUBE to 512 nodes (20,480 cores) on an Intel Cascade Lake based supercomputer with $\simeq$95\% weak-scaling efficiency. This scaling test was performed in "Cosmo-$π$" -- a cosmological LSS simulation using $\simeq$4.4 trillion particles, tracing the evolution of the universe over $\simeq$13.7 billion years. To our best knowledge, Cosmo-$π$ is the largest completed cosmological N-body simulation. We believe CUBE has a huge potential to scale on exascale supercomputers for larger simulations.

Investigating the expression of N-acetylglucosamine 6-0 sulfotransferases in myeloid cells and its implications on CD44 sulfation
Creators: name: Tjew, Sie Lung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The sulfation of proteoglycans and glycoproteins has been implicated in many biological processes. Glycoproteins on high-walled endothelial venules present sialyl 6-sulfo Lewis x determinants that can mediate lymphocyte homing to lymph nodes by serving as ligands for L-selectin on circulating lymphocytes. CD44 represents a family of glycoproteins that is expressed on most cell types. Interactions between CD44 and hyaluronic acid (HA) have been implicated in many facets of the inflammatory response, including leukocyte recruitment. CD44-HA binding is tightly regulated by several mechanisms including changes in CD44 glycosylation. Recently, increased sulfation of CD44 was correlated with increased HA binding induced by the pro-inflammatory cytokine, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)α, in the myeloid cell line, SR91, and in human peripheral blood monocytes (PBM). Additional experiments determined 6-sulfo N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc)/Lewis x carbohydrate epitopes, as defined by the monoclonal antibody AG107, were induced on N and O-linked glycans of CD44 by TNFα in SR91 cells. This led to the hypotheses that the induction of the AG107 epitope on CD44 was associated with increased expression of a specific N-acetylglucosamine 6-0 sulfotransferase (GlcNAc6ST) and that the AG107 epitope was involved in the inflammatory process by mediating CD44-ligand interactions. Semi-quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction revealed that TNFα upregulated the expression of GlcNAc6ST-1 in SR91 cells and GlcNAc6ST-1 and -4 in human PBM. In addition, GlcNAc6ST-1 was implicated in the synthesis of the AG107 epitope on CD44. Transcripts for GlcNAc6STs were not increased in mouse macrophages and human M1 macrophages exposed to pro-inflammatory mediators. By contrast, GlcNAc6ST- 1 and GlcNAcGST-4 transcripts were upregulated in human M2 macrophages incubated with TNFα. However, the AG107 epitope was not detected in these cells. Overall, this work suggests that GlcNAc6ST-1 and GlcNAc6ST-4 are involved the inflammatory process by generating 6-sulfo LacNAc/Lewis x epitopes on CD44 of human PBM. However, the results presented herein do not support a role for the AG107 epitope in TNFα-induced HA binding or L-selectin mediated rolling. In addition, GlcNAc6ST- 1 and GlcNAc6ST-4 may also play a role in functions associated with human M2 macrophages, such as Th2-mediated immunity and wound healing, but not by generating the AG107 epitope.

description: The observational picture of the enigmatic O-type spectrum variable HD191612 has been sharpened substantially. A symmetrical, low-amplitude light curve with a period near 540 d has recently been reported from Hipparcos photometry. This period satisfies all of the spectroscopy since at least 1982, including extensive new observations during 2003 and 2004, and it has predicted the next transition during September--October 2004. Measurements of the H alpha equivalent width reveal a sharp emission peak in the phase diagram, in contrast to the apparently sinusoidal light curve. The He II absorption-line strength is essentially constant, while He I varies strongly, possibly filled in by emission in the O6 state, thus producing the apparent spectral-type variations. The O8 state appears to be the "normal" one. Two intermediate O7 observations have been obtained, which fall at the expected phases, but these are the only modern observations of the transitions so far. The period is too long for rotation or pulsation; although there is no direct evidence as yet for a companion, a model in which tidally induced oscillations drive an enhanced wind near periastron of an eccentric orbit appears promising. Further observations during the now predictable transitions may provide a critical test. Ultraviolet and X-ray observations during both states will likely also prove illuminating.

description: Brane gas cosmology provides a dynamical decompactification mechanism that could account for the number of spacetime dimensions we observe today. In this work we discuss this scenario taking into account the full bosonic sector of eleven-dimensional supergravity. We find new cosmological solutions that can dynamically explain the existence of three large spatial dimensions characterised by an universal asymptotic scaling behaviour and a large number of initially unwrapped dimensions. This type of solutions enlarge the possible initial conditions of the Universe in the Hagedorn phase and consequently can potentially increase the probability of dynamical decompactification from anisotropically wrapped backgrounds.

description: The decay branching fractions of the three narrow Upsilon resonances to mu+ mu- have been measured by analyzing about 4.3 1/fb e+e- data collected with the CLEO III detector. The branching fraction B(Y(1S) -> mu+ mu-) = (2.49 +- 0.02 +- 0.07)% is consistent with the current world average but B(Y(2S) -> mu+ mu-) = (2.03 +- 0.03 +- 0.08)% and B(Y(3S) -> mu+ mu-) = (2.39 +- 0.07 +- 0.10)% are significantly larger than prior results. These new muonic branching fractions imply a narrower total decay width for the Y(2S) and Y(3S) resonances and lower other branching fractions that rely on these decays in their determination.

description: With a scalar field non-minimally coupled to curvature, the underlying geometry and variational principle of gravity - metric or Palatini - becomes important and makes a difference, as the field dynamics and observational predictions generally depend on this choice. In the present paper we describe a classification principle which encompasses both metric and Palatini models of inflation, employing the fact that inflationary observables can be neatly expressed in terms of certain quantities which remain invariant under conformal transformations and scalar field redefinitions. This allows us to elucidate the specific conditions when a model yields equivalent phenomenology in the metric and Palatini formalisms, and also to outline a method how to systematically construct different models in both formulations that produce the same observables.

description: We present the first high-resolution spectra of the W UMa contact binary V524 Mon. The spectra of the two components are very similar, resembling a G5 and a K0. We find the radial velocities and rotational velocities consistent with corotation. We estimate the radii and the masses and derive a mass ratio M_2/M_1 = 2.1. We confirm that V524 Mon is a W-type contact system, likely enclosed in a common convective envelope, as found by Samec & Loflin (2003). We do not find evidence for the expected level of emission in the chromospheric CaII H and K lines, neither H_alpha, indicating that the magnetic activity is much weaker than expected or that other processes are hampering chromospheric emission.

description: We explore the cosmological implications at effective level of matter creation effects in a dissipative fluid for a FLRW geometry; we also perform a statistical analysis for this kind of model. By considering an inhomogeneous Ansatz for the particle production rate we obtain that for created matter of dark matter type we can have a quintessence scenario or a future singularity known as little rip; in dependence of the value of a constant parameter, $η$, which characterizes the matter production effects. The dimensionless age of this kind of Universe is computed, showing that this number is greater than the standard cosmology value, this is typical of universes with presence of dark energy. The inclusion of baryonic matter is studied. By implementing the construction of the particle production rate for a dissipative fluid by considering two approaches for the expression of the bulk viscous pressure; we find that in Eckart model we have a big rip singularity leading to a catastrophic matter production and in the truncated version of the Israel-Stewart model such rate remains bounded leading to a quintessence scenario. For a non adiabatic dissipative fluid, we obtain a positive temperature and the cosmic expansion obeys the second law of thermodynamics.

description: Statistical mechanical models with local interactions in $d>1$ dimension can be regarded as $d=1$ dimensional models with regular long range interactions. In this paper we study the critical properties of Ising models having $V$ sites, each having $z$ randomly chosen neighbors. For $z=2$ the model reduces to the $d=1$ Ising model. For $z= \infty$ we get a mean field model. We find that for finite $z > 2$ the system has a second order phase transition characterized by a length scale $L={\rm ln}V$ and mean field critical exponents that are independent of $z$.

description: Motivated by orbifold grand unified theories, we construct a class of three-family Pati-Salam models in a Z6 abelian symmetric orbifold with two discrete Wilson lines. These models have marked differences from previously-constructed three-family models in prime-order orbifolds. In the limit where one of the six compactified dimensions (which lies in a Z2 sub-orbifold) is large compared to the string length scale, our models reproduce the supersymmetry and gauge symmetry breaking pattern of 5d orbifold grand unified theories on an S1/Z2 orbicircle. We find a horizontal 2+1 splitting in the chiral matter spectra -- 2 families of matter are localized on the Z2 orbifold fixed points, and 1 family propagates in the 5d bulk -- and identify them as the first-two and third families. Remarkably, the first two families enjoy a non-abelian dihedral D4 family symmetry, due to the geometric setup of the compactified space. In all our models there are always some color triplets, i.e. (6,1,1) representations of the Pati-Salam group, survive orbifold projections. They could be utilized to spontaneously break the Pati-Salam symmetry to that of the Standard Model. One model, with a 5d E6 symmetry, may give rise to interesting low energy phenomenology. We study gauge coupling unification, allowed Yukawa couplings and some of their phenomenological consequences. The E6 model has a renormalizable Yukawa coupling only for the third family. It predicts a gauge-Yukawa unification relation at the 5d compactification scale, and is capable of generating reasonable quark/lepton masses and mixings. Potential problems are also addressed, they may point to the direction for refining our models.

description: We study the distortions of equilibrium spectra of relic neutrinos due to the interactions with electrons, positrons, and neutrinos in the early Universe. We solve the integro-differential kinetic equations for the neutrino density matrix, including three-flavor oscillations and finite temperature corrections from QED up to the next-to-leading order $\mathcal{O}(e^3)$ for the first time. In addition, the equivalent kinetic equations in the mass basis of neutrinos are directly solved, and we numerically evaluate the distortions of the neutrino spectra in the mass basis as well, which can be easily extrapolated into those for non-relativistic neutrinos in the current Universe. In both bases, we find the same value of the effective number of neutrinos, $N_{\rm eff} = 3.044$, which parameterizes the total neutrino energy density. The estimated error for the value of $N_{\rm eff}$ due to the numerical calculations and the choice of neutrino mixing parameters would be at most 0.0005.

description: Background Social accountability (SA) measures institutional responses to societal needs. For medical education to be socially accountable, institutions must be equitably accessible and commit to training physicians who can work with communities to address health disparities. This scoping review aimed to explore the integration of social accountability into undergraduate medical education and examine the various ways it is implemented. Methods The authors searched PubMed, OVID Medline, CINAHL, ERIC and Scopus electronic databases for articles published between January 1995 and June 2023 to explore how SA is integrated into undergraduate medical education. The enhanced version of Arksey’s and O’Malley’s six-stage protocol was used. Analysis was done using the thematic analysis approach. Results Eight hundred twenty-six articles were retrieved in the preliminary search. After the screening, 17 articles were included for final review. From the findings, three thematic areas were derived, which included strategies applied in incorporating SA into undergraduate medical education, factors influencing the adoption of SA into undergraduate medical education, and programmes used to translate SA into undergraduate medical education. Conclusion This scoping review provides a comprehensive overview of the strategies, programs, and influencing factors related to the integration of social accountability into undergraduate medical education. The implementation of SA in undergraduate medical education is still very slow across the globe, there is an urgent need for a continued push towards making medical schools socially accountable

Euler-Heisenberg waves propagating in a magnetic background

description: We derive the Euler-Heisenberg solutions that describe electromagnetic waves propagating through very intense uniform magnetic or electric background, with the effective metric approach. We first explore the case of a magnetic background: as a result of the interaction between the wave and the background there is birefringence and a longitudinal electric field component arises. The two phase velocities depend on the intensity of the external magnetic field and on the polarization of the wave; phase velocities can be slowed down up to the order of hundred thousandths for fields $B/B_{\rm cr} << 1$. The analogous study is done when the wave propagates through a uniform electric field. We then consider the situation when the background is in movement by means of a Lorentz boost, modeling then a magnetized flowing medium. We determined how this motion affects the speed of propagation of the electromagnetic wave, in this case the phase velocities depend on both the magnetic background and the direction and velocity of the boost.

Precise WIMP Dark Matter Abundance and Standard Model Thermodynamics

description: A weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) is a leading candidate of the dark matter. The WIMP dark matter abundance is determined by the freeze-out mechanism. Once we know the property of the WIMP particle such as the mass and interaction, we can predict the dark matter abundance. There are, however, several uncertainties in the estimation of the WIMP dark matter abundance. In this work, we focus on the effect from Standard Model thermodynamics. We revisit the estimation of the WIMP dark matter abundance and its uncertainty due to the equation of state (EOS) in the Standard Model. We adopt the up-to-date estimate of the EOS of the Standard Model in the early Universe and find nearly 10% difference in the 1-1000 GeV dark matter abundance, compared to the conventional estimate of the EOS.

description: We report a large tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) in a thin (Ga,Mn)As epilayer with lateral nanoconstrictions. The observation establishes the generic nature of this effect, which originates from the spin-orbit coupling in a ferromagnet and is not specific to a particular tunnel device design. The lateral geometry allows us to link directly normal anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and TAMR. This indicates that TAMR may be observable in other materials showing a comparable AMR at room temperature, such as transition metal alloys.

Circumventing Detector Backaction on a Quantum Cyclotron

description: Detector backaction can be completely evaded when the state of a one-electron quantum cyclotron is detected, but it nonetheless significantly broadens the quantum-jump resonance lineshapes from which the cyclotron frequency can be deduced. This limits the accuracy with which the electron magnetic moment can be determined to test the standard model's most precise prediction. A steady state solution to a master equation, the first quantum calculation for the open quantum cyclotron system, illustrates a method to circumvent the detection backaction upon the measured frequency.

description: To every vertex algebra $V$ we associate a canonical decreasing sequence of subspaces and prove that the associated graded vector space $gr(V)$ is naturally a vertex Poisson algebra, in particular a commutative vertex algebra. We establish a relation between this sequence and the sequence $C_{n}$ introduced by Zhu. By using the (classical) algebra $gr(V)$, we prove that for any vertex algebra $V$, $C_{2}$-cofiniteness implies $C_{n}$-cofiniteness for all $n\ge 2$. We further use $gr(V)$ to study generating subspaces of certain types for lower truncated $Z$-graded vertex algebras.

The Mass Function and Average Mass Loss Rate of Dark Matter Subhaloes

description: We present a simple, semi-analytical model to compute the mass functions of dark matter subhaloes. The masses of subhaloes at their time of accretion are obtained from a standard merger tree. During the subsequent evolution, the subhaloes experience mass loss due to the combined effect of dynamical friction, tidal stripping, and tidal heating. Rather than integrating these effects along individual subhalo orbits, we consider the average mass loss rate, where the average is taken over all possible orbital configurations. This allows us to write the average mass loss rate as a simple function that depends only on redshift and on the instantaneous mass ratio of subhalo and parent halo. After calibrating the model by matching the subhalo mass function (SHMF) of cluster-sized dark matter haloes obtained from numerical simulations, we investigate the predicted mass and redshift dependence of the SHMF.We find that, contrary to previous claims, the subhalo mass function is not universal. Instead, both the slope and the normalization depend on the ratio of the parent halo mass, M, and the characteristic non-linear mass M*. This simply reflects a halo formation time dependence; more massive parent haloes form later, thus allowing less time for mass loss to operate. We analyze the halo-to-halo scatter, and show that the subhalo mass fraction of individual haloes depends most strongly on their accretion history in the last Gyr. Finally we provide a simple fitting function for the average SHMF of a parent halo of any mass at any redshift and for any cosmology, and briefly discuss several implications of our findings.
