description: We take the method of anomaly cancellation for the derivation of Hawking radiation initiated by Robinson and Wilczek, and apply it to the non-extremal five-dimensional D1-D5 black hole in string theory. The fluxes of the electric charge flow and the energy-momentum tensor from the black hole are obtained. They are shown to match exactly with those of the two-dimensional black body radiation at the Hawking temperature.

description: To facilitate sensing and physical interaction in remote and/or constrained environments, high-extension, lightweight robot manipulators are easier to transport and reach substantially further than traditional serial chain manipulators. We propose a novel planar 3-degree-of-freedom manipulator that achieves low weight and high extension through the use of a pair of spooling bistable tapes, commonly used in self-retracting tape measures, which are pinched together to form a reconfigurable revolute joint. The pinching action flattens the tapes to produce a localized bending region, resulting in a revolute joint that can change its orientation by cable tension and its location on the tapes though friction-driven movement of the pinching mechanism. We present the design, implementation, kinematic modeling, stiffness behavior of the revolute joint, and quasi-static performance of this manipulator. In particular, we demonstrate the ability of the manipulator to reach specified targets in free space, reach a 2D target with various orientations, and maintain an end-effector angle or stationary bending point while changing the other. The long-term goal of this work is to integrate the manipulator with an unmanned aerial vehicle to enable more capable aerial manipulation.

description: We characterize operationally meaningful quantum gains in a paradigmatic model of lossless multiple-phase interferometry and stress insufficiency of the analysis based solely on the concept of quantum Fisher information. We show that the advantage of the optimal simultaneous estimation scheme amounts to a constant factor improvement when compared with schemes where each phase is estimated separately -- contrary to a widely cited results claiming a better precision scaling in terms of the number of phases involved.

description: We present optical time series spectroscopy of the pulsating white dwarf star G29-38 taken at the Very Large Telescope (VLT). By measuring the variations in brightness, Doppler shift, and line shape of each spectrum, we explore the physics of pulsation and measure the spherical degree ($\ell$) of each stellar pulsation mode. We measure the physical motion of the g-modes correlated with the brightness variations for three of the eight pulsation modes in this data set. The varying line shape reveals the spherical degree of the pulsations, an important quantity for properly modeling the interior of the star with asteroseismology. Performing fits to the H$β$, H$γ$, and H$δ$ lines, we quantify the changing shape of the line and compare them to models and previous time series spectroscopy of G~29-38. These VLT data confirm several $\ell$ identifications and add four new values, including an additional $\ell$=2 and a possible $\ell$=4. In total from both sets of spectroscopy of G29-38, eleven modes now have known spherical degrees.

description: Microscopic biological systems operate far from equilibrium, are subject to strong fluctuations, and are composed of many coupled components with interactions varying in nature and strength. Researchers are actively investigating the general design principles governing how biomolecular machines achieve effective free-energy transduction in light of these challenges. We use a model of two strongly coupled stochastic rotary motors to explore the effect of coupling strength between components of a molecular machine. We observe prominent thermodynamic characteristics at intermediate coupling strength, near that which maximizes output power: a maximum in power and information transduced from the upstream to the downstream system, and equal subsystem entropy production rates. These observations are unified through a bound on the machine's input and output power, which accounts for both the energy and information transduced between subsystems.

description: Multimodal deep learning systems which employ multiple modalities like text, image, audio, video, etc., are showing better performance in comparison with individual modalities (i.e., unimodal) systems. Multimodal machine learning involves multiple aspects: representation, translation, alignment, fusion, and co-learning. In the current state of multimodal machine learning, the assumptions are that all modalities are present, aligned, and noiseless during training and testing time. However, in real-world tasks, typically, it is observed that one or more modalities are missing, noisy, lacking annotated data, have unreliable labels, and are scarce in training or testing and or both. This challenge is addressed by a learning paradigm called multimodal co-learning. The modeling of a (resource-poor) modality is aided by exploiting knowledge from another (resource-rich) modality using transfer of knowledge between modalities, including their representations and predictive models. Co-learning being an emerging area, there are no dedicated reviews explicitly focusing on all challenges addressed by co-learning. To that end, in this work, we provide a comprehensive survey on the emerging area of multimodal co-learning that has not been explored in its entirety yet. We review implementations that overcome one or more co-learning challenges without explicitly considering them as co-learning challenges. We present the comprehensive taxonomy of multimodal co-learning based on the challenges addressed by co-learning and associated implementations. The various techniques employed to include the latest ones are reviewed along with some of the applications and datasets. Our final goal is to discuss challenges and perspectives along with the important ideas and directions for future work that we hope to be beneficial for the entire research community focusing on this exciting domain.

description: We theoretically study spin transport in two-or three-dimensional Rashba systems dynamically distorted by surface acoustic waves. The spin currents in the linear response to lattice distortion dynamics are calculated on the basis of a microscopic theory combined with local coordinate transformations. As a result, we find a mechanism of direct spin-current generation from lattice distortion not associated with a charge current or spin accumulation. Moreover, the in-plane helicity currents are generated by shear surface acoustic waves via the present mechanism. The generated helicity currents are not parallel to the vorticity of the lattice, and cannot be created with the conventional methods. Thus, our findings offer an alternative functionality of the conventional Rashba systems in the field of spintronics.

In this study, axenically cultured R. lindenbergiana plants were used for chemical and molecular experiments. For chemical profiling, plants were taken from axenic culture and subjected to organic extraction. The extracts were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A total of 25 terpenoids were detected (Fig. 1), and retention indices of these compounds were calculated (Table 1). All of them are sesquiterpenes, including 7 unidentified compounds. (E,E)-α- farnesene/ β- curcumene and (Z)-β- bisabolene were among the most abundant constituents (Fig. 1).

description: Fluctuations of the number of condensed atoms in a finite-size, weakly interacting Bose gas confined in a box potential are investigated for temperatures up to the critical region. The canonical partition functions are evaluated using a recursive scheme for smaller systems, and a saddle-point approximation for larger samples, that allows to treat realistic size systems containing up to $N \sim 10^5$ particles. We point out the importance of particle-number constrain and interactions between out of condensate atoms for the statistics near the critical region. For sufficiently large systems the crossover from the anomalous to normal scaling of the fluctuations is observed. The excitations are described in a self-consistent way within the Bogoliubov-Popov approximation, and the interactions between thermal atoms are described by means of the Hartree-Fock method.

Plants of R. lindenbergiana were harvested for RNA extraction using the QIAGEN RNA isolation Kit. RNA was then converted to single-strand cDNA by GE First-strand cDNA synthesis Kit. The RlMTPSL genes were amplified by RT-PCR using the primers listed in Supplemental Table S1. The amplification products were cloned into the protein expression vector pEXP5-CT/TOPO (Invitrogen) and were confirmed by sequencing. Protein expression constructs were transferred into E. coli BL 21-Codon Plus (DE3) for protein expression and the bacteria were cultured in LB medium at 37 ◦ until OD 600 reached 0.4–0.6. The recombinant proteins were expressed for 16 h at 18 ◦ C by adding 0.4 mM isopropyl-b-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The cells were collected by centrifugation at 4000 g for 10 min. After that, they were disrupted by a 8 × 10 s treatment with a sonicator (Misonix Microson ultrasonic cell disruptor, USA) in chilled extraction buffer [50 mM Tris⋅HCl, pH 7.5, 5 mM DTT, 0.5 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), 10% (vol/vol) glycerol]. Cell fragments were removed by centrifugation at 14,000 g for 30 min and the supernatant was desalted into assay buffer.

Atmospheric dynamics and the mass loss process in red supergiant stars

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Red supergiant stars represent a key phase in the evolution of massive stars. Recent radiative hydrodynamic simulations suggest that their atmospheres may be the location of large-scale convective motions. As supergiant convection is expected to generate supersonic motions and shocks, we seek constraints on these atmospheric motions and their possible relation with mass-loss rates. We present high-resolution, visible spectroscopy of a sample of red supergiants (spectral type M I) and analyse them with a tomographic technique. We observe steep velocity gradients, characterising both upward and downward supersonic motions, which are time variable on time scales of a few hundred days. These convective motions will generate turbulent pressure, which will strongly decrease the effective gravity. We suggest that this decrease, combined with radiative pressure on molecular lines, initiate the mass loss in red supergiant stars.

description: We contrasted the performance of deep neural networks - Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Graph Neural Network (GNN) - to current state of the art energy regression methods in a finely 3D-segmented calorimeter simulated by GEANT4. This comparative benchmark gives us some insight to assess the particular latent signals neural network methods exploit to achieve superior resolution. A CNN trained solely on a pure sample of pions achieved substantial improvement in the energy resolution for both single pions and jets over the conventional approaches. It maintained good performance for electron and photon reconstruction. We also used the Graph Neural Network (GNN) with edge convolution to assess the importance of timing information in the shower development for improved energy reconstruction. We implement a simple simulation based correction to the energy sum derived from the fraction of energy deposited in the electromagnetic shower component. This serves as an approximate dual-readout analogue for our benchmark comparison. Although this study does not include the simulation of detector effects, such as electronic noise, the margin of improvement seems robust enough to suggest these benefits will endure in real-world application. We also find reason to infer that the CNN/GNN methods leverage latent features that concur with our current understanding of the physics of calorimeter measurement.
Inherent flexibility determines the transition mechanisms of the EF-hands of Calmodulin

description: We explore how inherent flexibility of a protein molecule influences the mechanism controlling the kinetics of allosteric transitions using a variational model inspired from work in protein folding. The striking differences in the predicted transition mechanism for the opening of the two domains of calmodulin (CaM) emphasizes that inherent flexibility is key to understanding the complex conformational changes that occur in proteins. In particular, the C-terminal domain of CaM (cCaM) which is inherently less flexible than its N-terminal domain (nCaM) reveals "cracking" or local partial unfolding during the open/closed transition. This result is in harmony with the picture that cracking relieves local stresses due to conformational deformations of a sufficiently rigid protein. We also compare the conformational transition in a recently studied "even-odd" paired fragment of CaM. Our results rationalize the different relative binding affinities of the EF-hands in the engineered fragment compared to the intact "odd-even" paired EF-hands (nCaM and cCaM) in terms of changes in flexibility along the transition route. Aside from elucidating general theoretical ideas about the cracking mechanism, these studies also emphasize how the remarkable intrinsic plasticity of CaM underlies conformational dynamics essential for its diverse functions.

Neighborhood stability and attitudes toward change
Creators: name: Coote, Robin Gale
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purposes of this thesis were: 1. to learn more about neighbourhood stability and 2. to examine the interrelationships between neighbourhood stability, residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood and their attitudes toward environmental change. Earlier studies revealed that residents frequently resist environmental change in their neighbourhood, therefore, it was hypothesized that as neighbourhood stability increases, residents' attitudes toward environmental change would become less favourable. In contrast, it was hypothesized that residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood would become more favourable as neighbourhood stability increases. Finally, it was hypothesized that as residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood become more favourable, their attitudes toward environmental change would become less favourable. The literature and interviews with municipal planners helped clarify the meaning of neighbourhood stability, while the hypotheses were tested using data collected during the 1984 construction of the Advanced Light Rapid Transit(ALRT) system in east Vancouver. The data were collected from over 600 residents located near the Broadway, Nanaimo, 29th Avenue and Joyce ALRT stations. Indices of neighbourhood stability, favourable attitudes toward environmental change and favourable attitudes toward the neighbourhood were created and compared using analysis of variance. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to test the three hypotheses. The findings did not provide conclusive support for the hypotheses. However, the findings suggested that as neighbourhood stability increases, residents' attitudes toward environmental change become slightly less favourable, while their attitudes toward the neighbourhood tend to become more favourable. Furthermore, as residents' attitudes toward their neighbourhood become more favourable, their attitudes toward environmental change also become more favourable. Regardless of the stability of the neighbourhood, residents were neither favourable nor unfavourable toward change in their neighbourhood. The thesis concludes with a discussion of neighbourhood stability, the role of municipal planners and the responsibilities of the three levels of government in maintaining stable neighbourhoods.

description: Network intrusion detection sensors are usually built around low level models of network traffic. This means that their output is of a similarly low level and as a consequence, is difficult to analyze. Intrusion alert correlation is the task of automating some of this analysis by grouping related alerts together. Attack graphs provide an intuitive model for such analysis. Unfortunately alert flooding attacks can still cause a loss of service on sensors, and when performing attack graph correlation, there can be a large number of extraneous alerts included in the output graph. This obscures the fine structure of genuine attacks and makes them more difficult for human operators to discern. This paper explores modified correlation algorithms which attempt to minimize the impact of this attack.

description: This deliverable presents DAEMON’s initial view on the problem of real-time control and network functions intelligence. The work presented in this document tackles two main points:
 • Understanding what the main challenges from the architectural perspective are and proposing initial solutions to overcome them. This activity has a strong relationship with the work carried out in WP2 in terms of requirements and architectural design. Namely, we identified additional requirements that are specifically related to the fast timescale NI applications.
 • The design of specific NI algorithms that focus on the inclusion of NI very close to the user plane. A lot of attention was paid to edge network functions, such as those related to the access network (including Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces).
 In total, we describe 11 algorithms. These algorithms can be generally categorized into two main classes:
 • Algorithms that jointly optimize radio and compute resources for intelligent NFV in vRANs. These algorithms are mainly presented in section 4 and deploy novel mechanisms and techniques for solving such difficult and coupled decision-making problems.
 • Algorithms that are capable of running on different timescales. These algorithms are of specific interest to the work package as they directly tackle the highly heterogeneous nature of edge and fog domains and are mainly presented in section 5.
 Each proposed algorithm specifically mentions the targeted KPI so as to create a clear, propaedeutic environment for the follow-up WP5 activities.

description: The masses of compact objects like white dwarfs, neutron stars and black holes are fundamental to astrophysics, but very difficult to measure. We present the results of an analysis of subluminous B (sdB) stars in close binary systems with unseen compact companions to derive their masses and clarify their nature. Radial velocity curves were obtained from time resolved spectroscopy. The atmospheric parameters were determined in a quantitative spectral analysis. Based on high resolution spectra we were able to measure the projected rotational velocity of the stars with high accuracy. In the distribution of projected rotational velocities signs of tidal locking with the companions are visible. By detecting ellipsoidal variations in the lightcurve of an sdB binary we were able to show that subdwarf binaries with orbital periods up to 0.6 d are most likely synchronized. In this case, the inclination angles and companion masses of the binaries can be tightly constrained. Five invisible companions have masses that are compatible with that of normal white dwarfs or late type main sequence stars. However, four sdBs have compact companions massive enough to be heavy white dwarfs (>1 Msun), neutron stars or even black holes. Such a high fraction of massive compact companions is not expected from current models of binary evolution.

description: We study general nonlinear models for time series networks of integer and continuous valued data. The vector of high dimensional responses, measured on the nodes of a known network, is regressed non-linearly on its lagged value and on lagged values of the neighboring nodes by employing a smooth link function. We study stability conditions for such multivariate process and develop quasi maximum likelihood inference when the network dimension is increasing. In addition, we study linearity score tests by treating separately the cases of identifiable and non-identifiable parameters. In the case of identifiability, the test statistic converges to a chi-square distribution. When the parameters are not-identifiable, we develop a supremum-type test whose p-values are approximated adequately by employing a feasible bound and bootstrap methodology. Simulations and data examples support further our findings.

description: When the prices of cereal grains rise, social unrest and conflict become likely. In rural areas, the predation motives of perpetrators can explain the positive relationship between prices and conflict. Predation happens at places and in periods where and when spoils to be appropriated are available. In predominantly agrarian societies, such opportune times align with the harvest season. Does the seasonality of agricultural income lead to the seasonality of conflict? We address this question by analyzing over 55 thousand incidents involving violence against civilians staged by paramilitary groups across Africa during the 1997-2020 period. We investigate the crop year pattern of violence in response to agricultural income shocks via changes in international cereal prices. We find that a year-on-year one standard deviation annual growth of the price of the major cereal grain results in a harvest-time spike in violence by militias in a one-degree cell where this cereal grain is grown. This translates to a nearly ten percent increase in violence during the early postharvest season. We observe no such change in violence by state forces or rebel groups--the other two notable actors. By further investigating the mechanisms, we show that the violence by militias is amplified after plausibly rich harvest seasons when the value of spoils to be appropriated is higher. By focusing on harvest-related seasonality of conflict, as well as actors more likely to be involved in violence against civilians, we contribute to the growing literature on the economic causes of conflict in predominantly agrarian societies.

description: Let $L$ be a set of $n$ axis-parallel lines in $\mathbb{R}^3$. We are are interested in partitions of $\mathbb{R}^3$ by a set $H$ of three planes such that each open cell in the arrangement $\mathcal{A}(H)$ is intersected by as few lines from $L$ as possible. We study such partitions in three settings, depending on the type of splitting planes that we allow. We obtain the following results.
 $\bullet$ There are sets $L$ of $n$ axis-parallel lines such that, for any set $H$ of three splitting planes, there is an open cell in $\mathcal{A}(H)$ that intersects at least~$\lfloor n/3 \rfloor-1 \approx \frac{1}{3}n$ lines.
 $\bullet$ If we require the splitting planes to be axis-parallel, then there are sets $L$ of $n$ axis-parallel lines such that, for any set $H$ of three splitting planes, there is an open cell in $\mathcal{A}(H)$ that intersects at least $\frac{3}{2}\lfloor n/4 \rfloor -1 \approx \left( \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{24}\right) n$ lines. Furthermore, for any set $L$ of $n$ axis-parallel lines, there exists a set $H$ of three axis-parallel splitting planes such that each open cell in $\mathcal{A}(H)$ intersects at most $\frac{7}{18} n = \left( \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{18}\right) n$ lines.
 $\bullet$ For any set $L$ of $n$ axis-parallel lines, there exists a set $H$ of three axis-parallel and mutually orthogonal splitting planes, such that each open cell in $\mathcal{A}(H)$ intersects at most $\lceil \frac{5}{12} n \rceil \approx \left( \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{12}\right) n$ lines.

description: Deep learning has achieved remarkable success in medicalimage segmentation, but it usually requires a large numberof images labeled with fine-grained segmentation masks, andthe annotation of these masks can be very expensive andtime-consuming. Therefore, recent methods try to use un-supervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods to borrow in-formation from labeled data from other datasets (source do-mains) to a new dataset (target domain). However, due tothe absence of labels in the target domain, the performance ofUDA methods is much worse than that of the fully supervisedmethod. In this paper, we propose a weakly supervised do-main adaptation setting, in which we can partially label newdatasets with bounding boxes, which are easier and cheaperto obtain than segmentation masks. Accordingly, we proposea new weakly-supervised domain adaptation method calledBox-Adapt, which fully explores the fine-grained segmenta-tion mask in the source domain and the weak bounding boxin the target domain. Our Box-Adapt is a two-stage methodthat first performs joint training on the source and target do-mains, and then conducts self-training with the pseudo-labelsof the target domain. We demonstrate the effectiveness of ourmethod in the liver segmentation task. Weakly supervised do-main adaptation

description: We discuss the theoretical modelling of x-ray photoelectron diffraction (XPD) with hard x-ray excitation at up to 20 keV, using the dynamical theory of electron diffraction to illustrate the characteristic aspects of diffraction patterns resulting from such localized emission sources in a multi-layer crystal. We show via dynamical calculations for diamond, Si, and Fe that the dynamical theory well predicts available current data for lower energies around 1 keV, and that the patterns for energies above about 1 keV are dominated by Kikuchi bands which are created by the dynamical scattering of electrons from lattice planes. The origin of the fine structure in such bands is discussed from the point of view of atomic positions in the unit cell. The profiles and positions of the element-specific photoelectron Kikuchi bands are found to be sensitive to lattice distortions (e.g. a 1% tetragonal distortion) and the position of impurities or dopants with respect to lattice sites. We also compare the dynamical calculations to results from a cluster model that is more often used to describe lower-energy XPD. We conclude that hard XPD (HXPD) should be capable of providing unique bulk-sensitive structural information for a wide variety of complex materials in future experiments.

description: Text normalization is a crucial technology for low-resource languages which lack rigid spelling conventions or that have undergone multiple spelling reforms. Low-resource text normalization has so far relied upon hand-crafted rules, which are perceived to be more data efficient than neural methods. In this paper we examine the case of text normalization for Ligurian, an endangered Romance language. We collect 4,394 Ligurian sentences paired with their normalized versions, as well as the first open source monolingual corpus for Ligurian. We show that, in spite of the small amounts of data available, a compact transformer-based model can be trained to achieve very low error rates by the use of backtranslation and appropriate tokenization.

description: We investigate the modifications to predictions for the abundances of light elements from standard Big-Bang nucleosynthesis when exotic late-decaying particles with lifetimes exceeding ~1 sec are prominent in the early Universe. Utilising a model-independent analysis of the properties of these long-lived particles, we identify the parameter space associated with models that are consistent with all observational data and hence resolve the much discussed discrepancies between observations and theoretical predictions for the abundances of Li^7 and Li^6.

description: Dynamical Decoupling (DD) is perhaps the simplest and least resource-intensive error suppression strategy for improving quantum computer performance. Here we report on a large-scale survey of the performance of 60 different DD sequences from 10 families, including basic as well as advanced sequences with high order error cancellation properties and built-in robustness. The survey is performed using three different superconducting-qubit IBMQ devices, with the goal of assessing the relative performance of the different sequences in the setting of arbitrary quantum state preservation. We find that the high-order universally robust (UR) and quadratic DD (QDD) sequences generally outperform all other sequences across devices and pulse interval settings. Surprisingly, we find that DD performance for basic sequences such as CPMG and XY4 can be made to nearly match that of UR and QDD by optimizing the pulse interval, with the optimal interval being substantially larger than the minimum interval possible on each device.

description: Information engines can convert thermal fluctuations of a bath at temperature $T$ into work at rates of order $k_\mathrm{B}T$ per relaxation time of the system. We show experimentally that such engines, when in contact with a bath that is out of equilibrium, can extract much more work. We place a heavy, micron-scale bead in a harmonic potential that ratchets up to capture favorable fluctuations. Adding a fluctuating electric field increases work extraction up to ten times, limited only by the strength of applied field. Our results connect Maxwell's demon with energy harvesting and an estimate of efficiency shows that information engines in nonequilibrium baths can greatly outperform conventional engines.

description: We consider the least angle regression and forward stagewise algorithms for solving penalized least squares regression problems. In Efron, Hastie, Johnstone & Tibshirani (2004) it is proved that the least angle regression algorithm, with a small modification, solves the lasso regression problem. Here we give an analogous result for incremental forward stagewise regression, showing that it solves a version of the lasso problem that enforces monotonicity. One consequence of this is as follows: while lasso makes optimal progress in terms of reducing the residual sum-of-squares per unit increase in $L_1$-norm of the coefficient $β$, forward stage-wise is optimal per unit $L_1$ arc-length traveled along the coefficient path. We also study a condition under which the coefficient paths of the lasso are monotone, and hence the different algorithms coincide. Finally, we compare the lasso and forward stagewise procedures in a simulation study involving a large number of correlated predictors.
