description: Currently there is ample discussion amongst EU Institutions (European Commission, European Parliament and Member States' Governments) on the opportunity for setting up a comprehensive EU-wide framework on risk and crises management in agriculture. With the aim of analyzing the position taken by the European Commission on March 2004, the article discusses the possibility of setting up such a common framework, given the prospects of the reformed CAP. In so doing, the existing emergency measures in the various European member States are surveyed and the strengths and weaknesses of the options ad-vanced by the European Commission are appraised. The conclusion is that, given the existing constraints on the possible expansion of financial resources devoted to agriculture in Europe, the institution of a common program based on payment of income integrations or of insurance premiums’ subsidies is highly un-likely. Better prospects are those for an intervention based on supporting farmers’ mutual funds and, more generally, on indirect support to credit, insurance and financial markets, in order to make them more easily accessible by farmers.

description: We investigate two strategies to improve the context-dependent deep neural network hidden Markov model (CD-DNN-HMM) in low-resource speech recognition. Although outperforming the conventional Gaussian mixture model (GMM) HMM on various tasks, CD-DNN-HMM acoustic modeling becomes challenging with limited transcribed speech, e.g., less than 10 hours. To resolve this issue, we firstly exploit dropout which prevents overfitting in DNN finetuning and improves model robustness under data sparseness. Then, the effectiveness of multilingual DNN training is evaluated when additional auxiliary languages are available. The hidden layer parameters of the target language are shared and learned over multiple languages. Experiments show that both strategies boost the recognition performance significantly. Combining them results in further reduction in word error rate, achieving 11.6% and 6.2% relative improvement on two limited data conditions.

description: The attachment of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) leads the cell fusion process, so spike blockade may be a promising therapy combating COVID-19. Bee pollen bioflavonoids with intrinsic bioactivities are of outmost importance to block SARS-CoV-2-ACE-2 interaction. Herein, we conducted a molecular docking assessment through natural phenolics/non-phenolics of pollen to investigate their affinity against SARS-CoV-2 spike. Finally, kaempferol 3-neohesperidoside 7-O-rhamnoside (compound a), quercetin 7-rhamnoside (compound b), delphinidin-3-O-(6-p-coumaroyl) glucoside (compound c), and luteolin-7-O-6″-malonylglucoside (compound d) showed the lowest binding affinity of −8.1, −7.7, −7.3 and −6.7 kcal/mol. The docking procedure was validated using protein-protein interactions between ACE-2 and SARS-CoV-2 RBD via HADDOCK webserver. MD simulations were fulfilled to investigate different ligands’ effects on protein movements. Collectively, compound a may possess the potency to disturb the binding of SARS-CoV-2 spike-ACE-2, which can be on the call for further in vitro and in vivo study to investigate its antiviral potential against SARS-CoV-2.
Probing the two-neutrino exchange force using atomic parity violation

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The exchange of two neutrinos at one loop leads to a long-range parity-violating force between fermions. We explore the two-neutrino force in the backdrop of atomic physics. We point out that this is the largest parity-violating long-range force in the Standard Model and calculate the effect of this force in experiments that probe atomic parity violation by measuring optical rotation of light as it passes through a sample of vaporized atoms. We perform explicit calculations for the hydrogen atom to demonstrate this effect. Although we find that the effect is too small to be observed in hydrogen in the foreseeable future, our approach may be applied to other setups where long-range parity violation is large enough to be probed experimentally.

description: The UV photochemistry of small heteroaromatic molecules serves as a testbed for understanding fundamental photoinduced transformations in moderately complex compounds, including isomerization, ring-opening, and molecular dissociation. Here, a combined experimental-theoretical study of 268 nm UV light-induced dynamics in 2-iodothiophene (C$_4$H$_3$IS) is performed. The dynamics are experimentally monitored with a femtosecond XUV probe pulse that measures iodine N-edge 4d core-to-valence transitions. Experiments are complemented by density functional theory calculations of both the pump-pulse induced valence excitations as well as the XUV probe-induced core-to-valence transitions. Possible intramolecular relaxation dynamics are investigated by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. Gradual absorption changes up to ~0.5-1 ps after excitation are observed for both the parent molecular species and emerging iodine fragments, with the latter appearing with a characteristic rise time of 160$\pm$30 fs. Comparison of spectral intensities and energies with the calculations identify an iodine dissociation pathway initiated by a predominant $π\toπ^*$ excitation. In contrast, initial excitation to a nearby n$_\perp\toσ^*$ excited state appears unlikely based on a significantly smaller oscillator strength and the absence of any corresponding XUV absorption signatures. Excitation to the $π\toπ^*$ state is followed by contraction of the C-I bond, enabling a nonadiabatic transition to a dissociative $π\toσ_\textrm{C-I}^*$ state. For the subsequent fragmentation, a narrow bond-length region along the C-I stretch coordinate between 230 and 280 pm is identified, where the transition between the parent molecule and the thienyl radical + iodine atom products becomes prominent in the XUV spectrum due to rapid localization of two singly-occupied molecular orbitals on the two fragments.

description: An analysis of the star cluster population in a low-luminosity early type galaxy, NGC 2328, is presented. The clusters are found in a tight star-forming nuclear spiral/ring pattern and we also identify a bar from structural 2D decomposition. These massive clusters are forming very efficiently in the circum-nuclear environment, they are young, possibly all less than 30 Myr of age. The clusters indicate an azimuthal age gradient, consistent with a "pearls-on-a-string" formation scenario suggesting bar driven gas inflow. The cluster mass function has a robust down-turn at low masses at all age bins. Assuming clusters are born with a power-law distribution, this indicates extremely rapid disruption at time-scales of just several Myr. If found to be typical, it means that clusters born in dense circum-nuclear rings do not survive to become old globular clusters in non-interacting systems.

description: Motivation: There is accumulating evidence showing the important roles of bacteriophages (phages) in regulating the structure and functions of the microbiome. However, lacking an easy-to-use and integrated phage analysis software hampers microbiome-related research from incorporating phages in the analysis. Results: In this work, we developed a web server, PhaBOX, which can comprehensively identify and analyze phage contigs in metagenomic data. It supports integrated phage analysis, including phage contig identification from the metagenomic assembly, lifestyle prediction, taxonomic classification, and host prediction. Instead of treating the algorithms as a black box, PhaBOX also supports visualization of the essential features for making predictions. The web server is designed with a user-friendly graphical interface that enables both informatics-trained and non-specialist users to analyze phages in microbiome data with ease. Availability: The web server of PhaBOX is available via: https://phage.ee.cityu.edu.hk. The source code of PhaBOX is available at: https://github.com/KennthShang/PhaBOX Contact: yannisun@cityu.edu.hk

description: We study local-realistic inequalities, Bell-type inequalities, for bipartite pure states of finite dimensional quantum systems -- qudits. There are a number of proposed Bell-type inequalities for such systems. Our interest is in relating the value of Bell-type inequality function with a measure of entanglement. Interestingly, we find that one of these inequalities, the Son-Lee-Kim inequality, can be used to measure entanglement of a pure bipartite qudit state and a class of mixed two-qudit states. Unlike the majority of earlier schemes in this direction, where number of observables needed to characterize the entanglement increases with the dimension of the subsystems, this method needs only four observables. We also discuss the experimental feasibility of this scheme. It turns out that current experimental set ups can be used to measure the entanglement using our scheme.

Dark Matter Deprivation in Field Elliptical Galaxy NGC 7507

description: Previous studies have shown that the kinematics of the field elliptical galaxy NGC 7507 do not necessarily require dark matter. This is troubling because, in the context of LCDM cosmologies, all galaxies should have a large dark matter component. We use penalised pixel fitting software to extract velocities and velocity dispersions from GMOS slit mask spectra. Using Jeans and MONDian modelling we produce best fit models to the velocity dispersion. We find that NGC 7507 has a two component stellar halo, with the outer halo and inner haloes counter rotating. The velocity dispersion profile exhibits an increase at ~70" (~7.9 kpc), reminiscent of several other elliptical galaxies. Our best fit models are those under mild anisotropy which include ~100 times less dark matter than predicted by LCDM, although mildly anisotropic models that are completely dark matter free fit almost equally well. Our MONDian models, both isotropic and anisotropic, systematically fail to reproduce the measured velocity dispersions at almost all radii. The counter rotating outer halo implies a merger remnant, as does the increase in velocity dispersion at ~70". From simulations it seems plausible that the merger that caused the increase in velocity dispersion was a spiral-spiral merger. Our Jeans models are completely consistent with a no dark matter scenario, however, some dark matter can be accommodated, although at much lower concentrations that predicted by LCDM simulations. This indicates that NGC 7507 may be a dark matter free elliptical galaxy. Whether NGC 7507 is completely dark matter free or very dark matter poor, this is at odds with predictions from current LCDM cosmological simulations. It may be possible that the observed velocity dispersions could be reproduced if the galaxy is significantly flattened along the line of sight (e.g. due to rotation), however, invoking this flattening is problematic.

description: A perceptual study of different styles of prehistoric Galician ceramics (from 6000 to 2000 BP) conducted by eye-tracking, underpins the material engagement of mind by showing that the visual world fosters the entanglement between doing, seeing, and designing through history. This text examines how materializations of human practices relate to cognition and to socio-cultural contexts. By combining evidence on the relationship between material culture and perceptual reactions, our text aims to understand the entanglement between the mind, objects and the world. We apply measurable and numeric techniques, providing an archaeometric approach to cognitive topics by combining neurosciences with interpretive and reflective research. This research provides new insights into the material culture, contributes to the understanding of the relationship between mind and the material world, and accounts for the transitive engagement between the way of thinking, seeing and making things. Thus, the text contributes to an understanding of the material forces driving perception and thought.

description: Dracocephalum heterophyllum Benth (Lamiaceae) is a wild herb that possesses a number of biologically active phytomolecules. The aim of this study was to investigate comparative essential oils (EOs) composition and biological (antimicrobial and anti-diabetic) activities of D. heterophyllum from higher altitudes. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and gas chromatography-flame ionisation detector (GC-FID) were carried out for the identification and quantification of EOs components. The hydrodistillation of fresh aerial part of D. heterophyllum gave (0.1–0.8) % w/v EOs yield. Altogether, twenty-seven constituents were identified in the among samples representing (91.0–98.2) % of the EOs composition. The β-citronellol (31.5–83.7) % contributes major constituent in all samples. The in vitro antimicrobial potential of EOs was examined against six human pathogenic bacterial and two phytopathogens fungal strains. Anti-diabetic activity exhibits excellent α-amylase and better α-glucosidase enzymes inhibitor properties.

description: Through CO mm-line and optical spectroscopy, we investigate the properties of the Fried Egg nebula IRAS 17163-3907, which has recently been proposed to be one of the rare members of the yellow hypergiant class. The CO J=2-1 and J=3-2 emission arises from a region within 20" of the star and is clearly associated with the circumstellar material. The CO lines show a multi-component asymmetrical profile, and an unexpected velocity gradient is resolved in the east-west direction, suggesting a bipolar outflow. This is in contrast with the apparent symmetry of the dust envelope as observed in the infrared. The optical spectrum of IRAS 17163-3907 between 5100 and 9000 Å was compared with that of the archetypal yellow hypergiant IRC+10420 and was found to be very similar. These results build on previous evidence that IRAS 17163-3907 is a yellow hypergiant.

description: We present a new catalogue of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the Galaxy. The catalogue contains source names, coordinates, source types, fluxes, distances, system parameters, and other characteristic properties of 349 LMXBs, including systems that have been newly discovered or reclassified since the most recently reported LMXB catalogues. The aim of this catalogue is to provide a list of all currently known Galactic objects identified as LMXBs with some basic information on each system (including X-ray and optical/IR properties where possible). Literature published before May 2023 has been taken into account where possible when compiling this information. References for all reported properties as well as object-finding charts in several energy bands are provided as part of the catalogue. We plan to update the catalogue regularly, in particular to reflect new objects discovered in the ongoing large-scale surveys such as Gaia and eROSITA.

description: The audio semantic concepts (sound events) play important roles in audio-based content analysis. How to capture the semantic information effectively from the complex occurrence pattern of sound events in YouTube quality videos is a challenging problem. This paper presents a novel framework to handle the complex situation for semantic information extraction in real-world videos and evaluate through the NIST multimedia event detection task (MED). We calculate the occurrence confidence matrix of sound events and explore multiple strategies to generate clip-level semantic features from the matrix. We evaluate the performance using TRECVID2011 MED dataset. The proposed method outperforms previous HMM-based system. The late fusion experiment with the low-level features and text feature (ASR) shows that audio semantic concepts capture complementary information in the soundtrack.

description: The aim of this paper is to analyse the opportunities and limits of water markets in the context of Italian irrigated agriculture, taking into account the changing policy and market framework. The opportunities derive from the theoretical ability of markets to improve the efficiency in the use of water and to contribute to increase agricultural incomes. Doubts about their feasibility are connected to the need of innovative institutions able to manage water transactions, to the occurrence of externalities and to the effects on third parties. The few empirical data about water exchanges between farms show anyway the potential interest for the adoption of such mechanisms at least by some irrigated areas.
Impact of Lorentz Invariance Violation at DUNE

description: We examine the impact of Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) in measuring the octant of $\theta_{23}$ and CP phases at DUNE. We consider the LIV parameters $a_{e\mu}$ and $a_{e\tau}$, which induce an additional interference term in oscillation probabilities. Taking one LIV parameter at-a-time ($|a_{e\mu}| = |a_{e\tau}| = 5 \times 10^{-24}$ GeV), we find that the octant discovery potential of DUNE gets substantially deteriorated for unfavorable combinations of $\delta$ and $\varphi_{e\mu}$/$\varphi_{e\tau}$. The octant can only be resolved at $3\sigma$ if the true value of $\sin^2\theta_{23}<0.42$ or $>0.62$ for any choices of $\delta$ and $\varphi$. Interestingly, we also observe that when both $a_{e\mu}$ and $a_{e\tau}$ are present together, they significantly cancel the impact of each other and DUNE largely regains its octant resolution capability. We also reconstruct the CP phases $\delta$ and $\varphi_{e\mu}$/$\varphi_{e\tau}$. The typical $1\sigma$ uncertainty on $\delta$ is $10^{\circ}$ to $15^{\circ}$ and the same on $\varphi_{e\mu}$/$\varphi_{e\tau}$ is $25^{\circ}$ to $30^{\circ}$.

description: We study the entanglement Rényi $α$-entropy (ER$α$E) as the measure of entanglement. Instead of a single quantity in standard entanglement quantification for a quantum state by using the von Neumann entropy for the well-accepted entanglement of formation (EoF), the ER$α$E gives a continuous spectrum parametrized by variable $α$ as the entanglement measure, and it reduces to the standard EoF in the special case $α\rightarrow 1$. The ER$α$E provides more information in entanglement quantification, and can be used such as in determining the convertibility of entangled states by local operations and classical communication. A series of new results are obtained: (i) we can show that ER$α$E of two states, which can be mixed or pure, may be incomparable, in contrast to the fact that there always exists an order for EoF of two states; (ii) similar as the case of EoF, we study in a fully analytical way the ER$α$E for arbitrary two-qubit states, the Werner states and isotropic states in general d-dimension; (iii) we provide a proof of the previous conjecture for the analytical functional form of EoF of isotropic states in arbitrary d-dimension.

description: There is a growing trend of cyberattacks against Internet of Things (IoT) devices; moreover, the sophistication and motivation of those attacks is increasing. The vast scale of IoT, diverse hardware and software, and being typically placed in uncontrolled environments make traditional IT security mechanisms such as signature-based intrusion detection and prevention systems challenging to integrate. They also struggle to cope with the rapidly evolving IoT threat landscape due to long delays between the analysis and publication of the detection rules. Machine learning methods have shown faster response to emerging threats; however, model training architectures like cloud or edge computing face multiple drawbacks in IoT settings, including network overhead and data isolation arising from the large scale and heterogeneity that characterizes these networks. This work presents an architecture for training unsupervised models for network intrusion detection in large, distributed IoT and Industrial IoT (IIoT) deployments. We leverage Federated Learning (FL) to collaboratively train between peers and reduce isolation and network overhead problems. We build upon it to include an unsupervised device clustering algorithm fully integrated into the FL pipeline to address the heterogeneity issues that arise in FL settings. The architecture is implemented and evaluated using a testbed that includes various emulated IoT/IIoT devices and attackers interacting in a complex network topology comprising 100 emulated devices, 30 switches and 10 routers. The anomaly detection models are evaluated on real attacks performed by the testbed's threat actors, including the entire Mirai malware lifecycle, an additional botnet based on the Merlin command and control server and other red-teaming tools performing scanning activities and multiple attacks targeting the emulated devices.

description: Hupelactones A (1) and B (2), two new eudesmanolide-type enantiomers of the corresponding compounds, along with four mono- (3–6) and nine dimeric- (7–15) known sesquiterpenoids were isolated from the whole plant of Chloranthus henryi var. hupehensis (syn. C. henryi). The new structures including the absolute configurations were determined by comparison with previously reported enantiomers, extensive spectroscopic methods in combination with electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations. All the isolates were evaluated for their inhibitory activities against the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in murine BV-2 microglial cells. Among them, the dimeric lindenane sesquiterpenoids shizukaols F (8) and G (11) exhibited the most potent activities, with IC50 values of 2.65 and 4.60 μM, respectively.

description: Pure gravity mediation (PGM), with two free parameters, is a minimalistic approach to supergravity models, yet is capable of incorporating radiative electroweak symmetry breaking, a Higgs mass in agreement with the experimental measurement, without violating any phenomenological constraints. The model may also contain a viable dark matter candidate in the form of a wino. Here, we extend the minimal model by allowing the $μ$-term to be a free parameter (equivalent to allowing the two Higgs soft masses, $m_1$ and $m_2$, to differ from other scalar masses) which are set by the gravitino mass. In particular, we examine the region of parameter space where $μ\ll m_{3/2}$ in which case, the Higgsino becomes the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) and a dark matter candidate. We also consider a generalization of PGM which incorporates a Peccei-Quinn symmetry which determines the $μ$-term dynamically. In this case, we show that the dark matter may either be in the form of an axion and/or a neutralino, and that the LSP may be either a wino, bino, or Higgsino.

description: The MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR experiment is searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay (0$\nu\beta\beta$) in Ge-76 with an array of p-type, point-contact (PPC) Ge detectors. A total of 44 kg (30 kg enriched in Ge-76) of Ge detectors are split between two modules and operating in a low background passive and active shield since 2015 at SURF. An unprecedented energy resolution of 2.5 keV FWHM and a low background rate at 2039 keV allows sensitivity to a competitive 0$\nu\beta\beta$ half-life from a modest exposure. Due to its low energy threshold and low background rate, the DEMONSTRATOR has also been used to search for other physics beyond the Standard Model, including bosonic dark matter and tri-nucleon decay. PPC technology allows for excellent energy resolution and the identification of specific background event populations. We present the latest analysis improvements, recent hardware upgrade, and the overall performance and results from the MAJORANA DEMONSTRATOR.
Heat capacity of low density neutron matter: from quantum to classical regimes

description: The heat capacity of neutron matter is studied over the range of densities and temperatures prevailing in neutron-star crusts, allowing for the transition to a superfluid phase at temperatures below some critical temperature $T_{sf}$ and including the transition to the classical limit. Finite temperature Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov equations (FTHFB) are solved and compared to existing approximate expressions. In particular, the formula given by Levenfish and Yakovlev is found to reproduce the numerical results with a high degree of accuracy for temperatures $T\leq T_{sf}$. In the non-superfluid phase, $T\geq T_{sf}$, the linear approximation is valid only at temperature $T\ll T_{{\rm F} n}$ ($T_{{\rm F} n}$ being the Fermi temperature of the neutron gas) which is rarely the case in the shallow layers of the neutron star's crust. A non-perturbative interpolation between the quantal and the classical regimes is proposed here. The heat capacity, conveniently parametrized solely in terms of $T_{sf}$, $T_{{\rm F} n}$, and the neutron number density $n_n$, can be easily implemented in neutron-star cooling simulations.

description: We present a morphology-aware nonparametric Bayesian model of language whose prior distribution uses manually constructed finitestate transducers to capture the word formation processes of particular languages. This relaxes the word independence assumption and enables sharing of statistical strength across, for example, stems or inflectional paradigms in different contexts. Our model can be used in virtually any scenario where multinomial distributions over words would be used. We obtain state-of-the-art results in language modeling, word alignment, and unsupervised morphological disambiguation for a variety of morphologically rich languages.

This note presents a novel approach for task-space tracking control of redundant manipulators with bounded actuation. Inspired by the leader-follower containment problem in multi-agent systems, the proposed controller is utilized to address the containment control of a single follower manipulator led by multiple manipulators. In the controller design, the redundancy of the robots is exploited for achieving sub-task control such as singularity avoidance, and joint limit avoidance. The asymptotic stability condition for the closed-loop dynamics is obtained using Lyapunov functional. For the containment, the proposed controller makes sure that the leaders track their desired positions and the follower robot’s end-effector asymptotically converges to the convex hull formed by the leaders’ traversed trajectories. The efficiency of the proposed control algorithm is verified through numerical simulations and experimental results.
