description: This research investigates the potential of declarative languages to advance what can be achieved by domain experts programming their own automation. We illustrate this potential by exploring the issue of implementing legal contracts and other legal/normative documents as both human and machine readable smart contracts deployable on a blockchain. The risk, communication, understandability, flexibility, agility and cost problems encountered with current compiled procedural language approaches, creates an opportunity for a solution that enables domain experts to write, test and deploy their own smart contracts. The study began with a description of an ideal solution and a literature review, which helped to identify the open questions around how to build the ideal solution. The investigation involved experimenting with a proof-of-concept system starting from assumptions which were refined at each iteration. The result is a proof-of-concept editor that enables domain experts to first guide the system to acquire an understanding of the closed world of a legal document, then model and test the embedded logic, before adding the assertional data and performing program testing. This results in an exhaustively tested logic program that is both human and machine readable and can be deployed as a smart contract. Fronting the domain expert user with a smart user interface that communicates visually and verbally in domain familiar concepts while concurrently encoding the ontology and legal logic in an declarative language, was made possible by a number of formal correspondences between graphics, text and declarative representations that were identified. We also found that model validation and verification could be highly automated and that it is possible for exhaustive testing to be conducted by a domain expert via a user mediated simulation. The editor is a novel integration of a number of techniques and technologies that solves a real world problem of significance, and likely is applicable to other domains.

description: „Früher war der Wald unser Gemeinschaftsbesitz und befriedigte all unsere Bedürfnisse. Heute hat sich die Welt verändert und wir können nicht mehr allein von den Produkten des Waldes leben. Wir brauchen Geld“, sagt T.K. Ayyappan. Der 43 Jahre alte Familienvater ist Adivasi und lebt in den südindischen Nilgiris, in den Bergen Tamil Nadus. Gemeinsam mit 15 000 anderen Adivasis der Region Gudalur hat er sich im Netzwerk Adivasi Munnetra Sangam (AMS) organisiert. Adivasis aus fünf ethnischen Gemeinschaften kämpfen seit mehr als 20 Jahren für ihre sozioökonomische Entwicklung unter Bewahrung ihrer Identität – etwas, was bei den Waldbewohnern, denen monetäre Ökonomie fremd ist, die die eigenen Sprachen und religiöse „animistische“ Vorstellungen tradiert haben, meist ein unvereinbarer Gegensatz zu sein scheint.

description: It is known that all but finitely many leaves of a measured foliated 2-complex of thin type are quasi-isometric to an infinite tree with at most two topological ends. We show that if the foliation is cooriented, and the associated R-tree is self-similar, then a typical leaf has exactly one topological end. We also construct the first example of a foliated 2-complex of thin type whose typical leaf has exactly two topological ends. `Typical' means that the property holds with probability one in a natural sense.

Quantum bright solitons in a quasi-one-dimensional optical lattice

description: We study a quasi-one-dimensional attractive Bose gas confined in an optical lattice with a superimposed harmonic potential by analyzing the effective one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard Hamiltonian of the system. In order to have a reliable description of the ground-state, that we call quantum bright soliton, we use the Density-Matrix-Renormalization-Group (DMRG) technique. By comparing DMRG results with mean-field (MF) ones we find that beyond-mean-field effects become relevant by increasing the attraction between bosons or by decreasing the frequency of the harmonic confinement. In particular we discover that, contrary to the MF predictions based on the discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation, quantum bright solitons are not self-trapped. We also use the time-evolving-block-decimation (TEBD) method to investigate dynamical properties of bright solitons when the frequency of the harmonic potential is suddenly increased. This quantum quench induces a breathing mode whose period crucially depends on the final strength of the super-imposed harmonic confinement.
Microscopic theory for the phase separation of self-propelled repulsive disks

description: Motivated by recent experiments on colloidal suspensions, we study analytically and numerically a microscopic model for self-propelled particles lacking alignment interactions. In this model, even for purely repulsive interactions, a dynamical instability leading to phase separation has been reported. Starting from the many-body Smoluchowski equation, we develop a mean-field description based on a novel closure scheme and derive the effective hydrodynamic equations. We demonstrate that the microscopic origin of the instability is a force imbalance due to an anisotropic pair distribution leading to self-trapping. The phase diagram can be understood in terms of two quantities: a minimal drive and the force imbalance. At sufficiently high propulsion speeds there is a reentrance into the disordered fluid.

description: In der Korpuslinguistik und der Quantitativen Linguistik werden ganz verschiedenartige formale Maße verwendet, mit denen die Gebrauchshäufigkeit eines Wortes, eines Ausdrucks oder auch abstrakter oder komplexer sprachlicher Elemente in einem gegebenen Korpus gemessen und ggf. mit anderen Gebrauchshäufigkeiten verglichen werden kann. Im Folgenden soll für eine Auswahl dieser Maße (absolute Häufigkeit, relative Häufigkeit, Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilung, Differenzenkoeffizient, Häufigkeitsklasse) zusammengefasst werden, wie sie definiert sind, welche Eigenschaften sie haben und unter welchen Bedingungen sie (sinnvoll) anwendbar und interpretierbar sind – dabei kann eine Rolle spielen, ob das Häufigkeitsmaß auf ein Korpus als Ganzes angewendet wird oder auf einzelne Teilkorpora. Zusätzlich zu den bei den einzelnen Häufigkeitsmaßen genannten Einschränkungen gilt generell der folgende vereinfachte Zusammenhang: Je seltener ein Wort im gegebenen Korpus insgesamt vorkommt und je kleiner dieses Korpus ist, desto stärker hängt die beobachtete Gebrauchshäufigkeit des Wortes von zufälligen Faktoren ab, d.h., desto geringer ist die statistische Zuverlässigkeit der Beobachtung.

Inbesondere Kamil Zvelebil hat sich mit der Sprache dieses Stammes befasst und gibt auch eine kurze Übersicht über die Lebensweise und Kultur. Was jedoch von Edgar Thurston (1855 -1935) nur kurz angedeutet und von späteren Forschern fast völlig übersehen wird ist, dass es sich bei den Irular in der Tat um zwei verschiedene Stammesgruppen handelt: die Berg-Irular (auch malaivaci genannt) der Nilgiris, und die Küsten-Irular (auch kattuvaci genannt), die hauptsächlich in der Gegend von Chengleput im nordöstlichen Tamil Nadu angesiedelt sind. Ethnographische und ethnolinguistische Literatur macht zumeist keinen deutlichen Unterschied zwischen diesen beiden Gruppen.

In den letzten Jahren wurden Kunstwerke dieser Tradition mehrfach international repräsentiert, unter anderem in Deutschland. Wie viel künstlerischen und materiellen Wert ein Objekt aus indigener Produktion besitzt, bestimmt eine Rezeption, die von fragwürdigen Wahrnehmungsmustern der westlich dominierten Kultur bestimmt ist. Der Dokumentarfilm The one-eared elephant from Hazaribagh dokumentiert die Maltraditionen aus Hazaribagh (Jharkhand) und lässt dazu die Künstlerinnen zu Wort kommen.

description: Entanglement between individual spins can be detected by using thermodynamics quantities as entanglement witnesses. This applies to collective spins also, provided that their internal degrees of freedom are frozen, as in the limit of weakly-coupled nanomagnets. Here, we extend such approach to the detection of entanglement between subsystems of a spin cluster, beyond such weak-coupling limit. The resulting inequalities are violated in spin clusters with different geometries, thus allowing the detection of zero- and finite-temperature entanglement. Under relevant and experimentally verifiable conditions, all the required expectation values can be traced back to correlation functions of individual spins, that are now made selectively available by four-dimensional inelastic neutron scattering.

description: Family Ctenomyidae Lesson, 1842. Nouv. Tabi. Règne Animal., Mamm., p. 105. COMMENTS: This assemblage of 56 named species is in need of revision. The species are variable in chromosome number, but fairly uniform in morphology, suggesting that the major radiation of species was in the Pleistocene (Roig and Reig, 1969:666; Reig et al. (19906:89). Ctenomys is most closely allied to the octodontid Octodontomys. Whether the group should be recognized as a subfamily (Ctenomyinae, Reig, 1958), or as a family is debated. Although the designation of subfamily within the Octodontidae best reflects the evolutionary history of the group, it is more common to treat the group as a distinct family specialized for fossorial life. Glanz and Anderson (1990) gave a cladogram and list of synapomorphies for the Ctenomyidae. Here 39 species are recognized. Reig (1986:408) stated that his analysis indicated there may be 44 valid species. See Reig et al. (19906) for an overview of ctenomyid taxonomy, and Cook et al. (1990:22-24) for a discussion of the possible significance of the extensive chromosomal variation in Ctenomys and octodontids (2n=10-102), which is nearly as great as the known variation for all mammals.

description: A female short-beaked common dolphin calf was found stranded in San Diego, California in October 2010, presenting with multifocal ulcerative lesions in the trachea and bronchi. Viral particles suggestive of polyomavirus were detected by EM, and subsequently confirmed by PCR and sequencing. Full genome sequencing (Ion Torrent) revealed a circular dsDNA genome of 5,159 bp that was shown to form a distinct lineage within the genus Polyomavirus based on phylogenetic analysis of the early and late transcriptomes. Viral infection and distribution in laryngeal mucosa was characterised using in-situ hybridisation, and apoptosis observed in the virus-infected region. These results demonstrate that polyomaviruses can be associated with respiratory disease in cetaceans, and expand our knowledge of their diversity and clinical significance in marine mammals.

description: Quantum computers have long been anticipated to excel in simulating quantum many-body physics. While most previous work has focused on Hermitian physics, we demonstrate the power of variational quantum circuits for resource-efficient simulations of dynamical and equilibrium physics in non-Hermitian systems, revealing new phenomena beyond standard Hermitian quantum machines. Using a variational quantum compilation scheme for fermionic systems, we reduce gate count, save qubits, and eliminate the need for postselection, a major challenge in simulating non-Hermitian dynamics via standard Trotterization. Experimentally, we observed a supersonic mode in the connected density-density correlation function on an $ n = 18 $ fermionic chain after a non-Hermitian, locally interacting quench, which would otherwise be forbidden by the Lieb-Robinson bound in a Hermitian system. Additionally, we investigate sequential quantum circuits generated by tensor networks for ground state preparation, here defined as the eigenstate with the lowest real part eigenvalue, using a variance minimization scheme. Through a trapped-ion implementation on the Quantinuum H1 quantum processor, we accurately capture correlation functions and energies across an exceptional point on a dissipative spin chain up to length $ n = 20 $ using only 3 qubits. Motivated by these advancements, we provide an analytical example demonstrating that simulating single-qubit non-Hermitian dynamics for $Θ(\log(n))$ time from certain initial states is exponentially hard on a quantum computer, offering insights into the opportunities and limitations of using quantum computation for simulating non-Hermitian physics.

Sie wurde am gleichen Tag durch Rabi Jarika vom Visthapan Virodhi Jan Manch der Presse vorgestellt. Sie signalisiert den zunehmenden Widerstand gegen Landenteignungen im Namen der industriellen Entwicklung des Landes durch die Einrichtung von Sonderwirtschaftszonen (Special Economic Zones), von denen oft die einfache bäurische Bevölkerung betroffen ist. Zwar wird der betroffenen Bevölkerung in der Regel die Umsiedlungen mit attraktiven Angeboten schmackhaft gemacht, doch die Realität der Umsiedlungsaktionen der letzten Jahrzehnte in Indien sieht eher düster aus. Gerade die besonders Bedürftigen gehen meist leer aus. Die Erklärung dokumentiert, wie sich der Widerstand angesichts der verzweifelten Lage zunehmend radikalisiert. Der Protest richtet sich nicht nur gegen die Enteignung von Land, sondern auch gegen den wirtschaftlichen „Imperialismus“ an sich.

description: An element $g$ of a group is called reversible if it is conjugate in the group to its inverse. An element is an involution if it is equal to its inverse. This paper is about factoring elements as products of reversibles in the group $\mathfrak{G}_n$ of formal maps of $(\mathbb{C}^n,0)$, i.e. formally-invertible $n$-tuples of formal power series in $n$ variables, with complex coefficients. The case $n=1$ was already understood. Each product $F$ of reversibles has linear part $L(F)$ of determinant $\pm1$. The main results are that for $n\ge2$ each map $F$ with det$(L(F))=\pm1$ is the product of $2+3c$ reversibles, and may also be factored as the product of $9+6c$ involutions, where $c$ is the smallest integer $\ge \log_2n$.

description: Large language models (LLMs) have advanced to a point that even humans have difficulty discerning whether a text was generated by another human, or by a computer. However, knowing whether a text was produced by human or artificial intelligence (AI) is important to determining its trustworthiness, and has applications in many domains including detecting fraud and academic dishonesty, as well as combating the spread of misinformation and political propaganda. The task of AI-generated text (AIGT) detection is therefore both very challenging, and highly critical. In this survey, we summarize state-of-the art approaches to AIGT detection, including watermarking, statistical and stylistic analysis, and machine learning classification. We also provide information about existing datasets for this task. Synthesizing the research findings, we aim to provide insight into the salient factors that combine to determine how "detectable" AIGT text is under different scenarios, and to make practical recommendations for future work towards this significant technical and societal challenge.

description: The Calkin-Wilf tree is an infinite binary tree whose vertices are the positive rational numbers. Each number occurs in the tree exactly once and in the form $a/b$, where are $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. For every $2\times 2$ matrix with nonnegative integral coordinates and nonzero determinant, it is possible to construct an analogous tree with this root. If the root is the identity matrix, then the tree consists all matrices with determinant 1, and this tree possesses the basic properties of the Calkin-Wilf tree of positive rational numbers. The set of all matrices with nonzero determinant decomposes into a forest of rooted infinite binary trees.

description: Der Kondhamal-Distrikt in Orissa wurde von kommunalen Aufständen, die am Heiligabend 2007 begannen, regelrecht aufgefressen. Gebäude und Infrastruktur im Wert von etlichen Millionen Rupien wurde innerhalb weniger Stunden zerstört, Dorfgemeinschaften in tiefste Not zurückgeworfen, ihre Verwundbarkeit deutlich gemacht. Die Zerstörungen schienen gezielt gegen christliche Einrichtungen und Kirchen ausgerichtet gewesen zu sein und gegen private Haushalte, und zwar christliche und hinduistische in bestimmten Wohnvierteln einzelner Dörfer. Die Liste der zerstörten Gebäude ist umstritten und schwer einzuschätzen, da die Regierung den Distrikt abgeriegelt hat und selbst Hilfsmannschaften oder Repräsentanten staatlicher Organe den Zutritt zum Gebiet verwehrt. Aber einige Zahlen sollen doch genannt sein, die seitens des Nationalen Kirchenrates (National Council of Churches in India, NCCI) und der Katholischen Bischofskonferenz (Catholic Bishops’ Conference of India, CBCI) zitiert werden. Sie sprechen von fünf großen Kirchen, 48 Dorfkirchen, fünf Wohnanlagen von Diakonissen, fünf Wohnhäusern von Priestern, sieben Wohnheimen für insgesamt 800 Kinder, zwei Berufsschulen, 500 Häusern und 126 Läden. Zudem gibt es Berichte über Zerstörungen von Büros christlicher Nichtregierungsorganisationen (NROs) wie zum Beispiel von World Vision.

description: Orofacial clefts are among the most common birth defects and result in an improper formation of the mouth or the roof of the mouth. Monosomy of the distal aspect of human chromosome 6p has been recognized as causative in congenital malformations affecting the brain and cranial skeleton including orofacial clefts. Among the genes located in this region is PAK1IP1, which encodes a nucleolar factor involved in ribosomal stress response. Here, we report the identification of a novel mouse line that carries a point mutation in the Pak1ip1 gene. Homozygous mutants show severe developmental defects of the brain and craniofacial skeleton, including a median orofacial cleft. We recovered this line of mice in a forward genetic screen and named the allele manta-ray (mray). Our findings prompted us to examine human cases of orofacial clefting for mutations in the PAK1IP1 gene or association with the locus. No deleterious variants in the PAK1IP1 gene coding region were recognized, however, we identified a borderline association effect for SNP rs494723 suggesting a possible role for the PAK1IP1 gene in human orofacial clefting.

description: Properties of complex oxide thin films can be tuned over a range of values as a function of mismatch, composition, orientation, and structure. Here, we report a strategy for growing structured epitaxial thermoelectric thin films leading to improved Seebeck coefficient. Instead of using single-crystal sapphire substrates to support epitaxial growth, Ca$_3$Co$_4$O$_9$ films are deposited, using the Pulsed Laser Deposition technique, onto Al$_2$O$_3$ polycrystalline substrates textured by Spark Plasma Sintering. The structural quality of the 2000 Åthin film was investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy, while the crystallographic orientation of the grains and the epitaxial relationships were determined by Electron Back Scatter Diffraction. The use of a polycrystalline ceramic template leads to structured films that are in good local epitaxial registry. The Seebeck coefficient is about 170 $μ$V/K at 300 K, a typical value of misfit material with low carrier density. This high-throughput process, called combinatorial substrate epitaxy, appears to facilitate the rational tuning of functional oxide films, opening a route to the epitaxial synthesis of high quality complex oxides.

description: An ongoing challenge in the mathematical modeling of biological aggregations is to strengthen the connection between models and biological data by quantifying the rules that individuals follow. We model aggregation of the pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum. Specifically, we conduct experiments to track the motion of aphids walking in a featureless circular arena in order to deduce individual-level rules. We observe that each aphid transitions stochastically between a moving and a stationary state. Moving aphids follow a correlated random walk. The probabilities of motion state transitions, as well as the random walk parameters, depend strongly on distance to an aphid's nearest neighbor. For large nearest neighbor distances, when an aphid is essentially isolated, its motion is ballistic with aphids moving faster, turning less, and being less likely to stop. In contrast, for short nearest neighbor distances, aphids move more slowly, turn more, and are more likely to become stationary; this behavior constitutes an aggregation mechanism. From the experimental data, we estimate the state transition probabilities and correlated random walk parameters as a function of nearest neighbor distance. With the individual-level model established, we assess whether it reproduces the macroscopic patterns of movement at the group level. To do so, we consider three distributions, namely distance to nearest neighbor, angle to nearest neighbor, and percentage of population moving at any given time. For each of these three distributions, we compare our experimental data to the output of numerical simulations of our nearest neighbor model, and of a control model in which aphids do not interact socially. Our stochastic, social nearest neighbor model reproduces salient features of the experimental data that are not captured by the control.

Calibrating nonconvex penalized regression in ultra-high dimension

description: We investigate high-dimensional nonconvex penalized regression, where the number of covariates may grow at an exponential rate. Although recent asymptotic theory established that there exists a local minimum possessing the oracle property under general conditions, it is still largely an open problem how to identify the oracle estimator among potentially multiple local minima. There are two main obstacles: (1) due to the presence of multiple minima, the solution path is nonunique and is not guaranteed to contain the oracle estimator; (2) even if a solution path is known to contain the oracle estimator, the optimal tuning parameter depends on many unknown factors and is hard to estimate. To address these two challenging issues, we first prove that an easy-to-calculate calibrated CCCP algorithm produces a consistent solution path which contains the oracle estimator with probability approaching one. Furthermore, we propose a high-dimensional BIC criterion and show that it can be applied to the solution path to select the optimal tuning parameter which asymptotically identifies the oracle estimator. The theory for a general class of nonconvex penalties in the ultra-high dimensional setup is established when the random errors follow the sub-Gaussian distribution. Monte Carlo studies confirm that the calibrated CCCP algorithm combined with the proposed high-dimensional BIC has desirable performance in identifying the underlying sparsity pattern for high-dimensional data analysis.

Aus Jharkhand nach Assam zugewanderte Adivasis fordern Anerkennung als scheduled tribes

description: In Nordostindien und damit auch in Assam als größtem der dortigen Bundesstaaten beruft man sich auf eine eigene, vom indischen Kernland (mainland) verschiedene Identität. Allein schon von der Grenzziehung von 1947 her ist die Verbindung zu diesem Kernland bezeichnend schmal: Nur durch den rund 10 Kilometer schmalen „Korridor von Siliguri“ nördlich der Grenze zu Bangladesch gelangt man in ein Gebiet, welches von der Fläche her etwa so groß wie Westeuropa ist. Dass in Nordostindien und Assam vieles anders ist als im Kernland, zeigt sich auch bei der Zusammensetzung der so genannten Stammesbevölkerung.

description: We present a practical and provably-secure multimode communication scheme in the presence of a passive eavesdropper. The scheme is based on a random scheduling approach that hides the identity of the transmitter from the eavesdropper. This random scheduling leads to ambiguity at the eavesdropper with regard to the origin of the transmitted frame. We present the details of the technique and analyze it to quantify the secrecy-fairness-overhead trade-off. Implementation of the scheme over Crossbow Telosb motes, equipped with CC2420 radio chips, shows that the scheme can achieve significant secrecy gain with vanishing outage probability. In addition, it has significant overhead advantage over direct extensions to two-nodes schemes. The technique also has the advantage of allowing inactive nodes to leverage sleep mode to further save energy.

description: Individuals are often co-infected with several parasite species, yet measuring within-host interactions remains difficult in the wild. Consequently, the impact of such interactions on host fitness and epidemiology are often unknown. We used anthelmintic drugs to experimentally reduce nematode infection and measured the effects on both nematodes and the important zoonosis Sin Nombre virus (SNV) in its primary reservoir (Peromyscus spp.). Treatment significantly reduced nematode infection, but increased SNV seroprevalence. Furthermore, mice that were co-infected with both nematodes and SNV were in better condition and survived up to four times longer than uninfected or singly infected mice. These results highlight the importance of investigating multiple parasites for understanding interindividual variation and epidemiological dynamics in reservoir populations with zoonotic transmission potential.

description: In this work, we investigate the Higgs-boson production processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ZH$, $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow ν_{e}\bar{ν_{e}}H$ and $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow e^{+}e^{-}H$ in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity. We present the production cross sections, the relative corrections and some distributions of the final states. In the allowed parameter space, we find that the relative corrections of the three production channels are negative, the relative correction of the $ZH$ production can reach $-7.5\%$ and the relative corrections of the $ν_{e}\bar{ν_{e}}H$ and $e^{+}e^{-}H$ production can both reach $-6.5\%$ for $\sqrt{s}=500$ GeV with the scale $f=$694 GeV.
Molecular Theory for Self Assembling Mixtures of Patchy Colloids and Colloids with Spherically Symmetric Attractions: The Single Patch Case

description: In this work we develop the first theory to model self assembling mixtures of single patch colloids and colloids with spherically symmetric attractions. In the development of the theory we restrict the interactions such that there are short ranged attractions between patchy and spherically symmetric colloids, but patchy colloids do not attract patchy colloids and spherically symmetric colloids do not attract spherically symmetric colloids. This results in the temperature, density and composition dependent reversible self assembly of the mixture into colloidal star molecules. This type of mixture has been recently synthesized by grafting of complimentary single stranded DNA [Feng et al., Advanced Materials 25 (20), 2779-2783 (2013)] As a quantitative test of the theory, we perform new monte carlo simulations to study the self assembly of these mixtures; theory and simulation are found to be in excellent agreement.
