description: Fully convolutional networks (FCN) has significantly improved the performance of many pixel-labeling tasks, such as semantic segmentation and depth estimation. However, it still remains non-trivial to thoroughly utilize the multi-level convolutional feature maps and boundary information for salient object detection. In this paper, we propose a novel FCN framework to integrate multi-level convolutional features recurrently with the guidance of object boundary information. First, a deep convolutional network is used to extract multi-level feature maps and separately aggregate them into multiple resolutions, which can be used to generate coarse saliency maps. Meanwhile, another boundary information extraction branch is proposed to generate boundary features. Finally, an attention-based feature fusion module is designed to fuse boundary information into salient regions to achieve accurate boundary inference and semantic enhancement. The final saliency maps are the combination of the predicted boundary maps and integrated saliency maps, which are more closer to the ground truths. Experiments and analysis on four large-scale benchmarks verify that our framework achieves new state-of-the-art results.

description: Machine learning methods can automate the in silico design of biological sequences, aiming to reduce costs and accelerate medical research. Given the limited access to wet labs, in silico design methods commonly use an oracle model to evaluate de novo generated sequences. However, the use of different oracle models across methods makes it challenging to compare them reliably, motivating the question: are in silico sequence design benchmarks reliable? In this work, we examine 12 sequence design methods that utilise ML oracles common in the literature and find that there are significant challenges with their cross-consistency and reproducibility. Indeed, oracles differing by architecture, or even just training seed, are shown to yield conflicting relative performance with our analysis suggesting poor out-of-distribution generalisation as a key issue. To address these challenges, we propose supplementing the evaluation with a suite of biophysical measures to assess the viability of generated sequences and limit out-of-distribution sequences the oracle is required to score, thereby improving the robustness of the design procedure. Our work aims to highlight potential pitfalls in the current evaluation process and contribute to the development of robust benchmarks, ultimately driving the improvement of in silico design methods.

description: The main s-process taking place in low mass stars produces about half of the elements heavier than iron. It is therefore very important to determine the importance and impact of nuclear physics uncertainties on this process. We have performed extensive nuclear reaction network calculations using individual and temperature-dependent uncertainties for reactions involving elements heavier than iron, within a Monte Carlo framework. Using this technique, we determined the uncertainty in the main s-process abundance predictions due to nuclear uncertainties link to weak interactions and neutron captures on elements heavier than iron. We also identified the key nuclear reactions dominating these uncertainties. We found that $β$-decay rate uncertainties affect only a few nuclides near s-process branchings, whereas most of the uncertainty in the final abundances is caused by uncertainties in neutron capture rates, either directly producing or destroying the nuclide of interest. Combined total nuclear uncertainties due to reactions on heavy elements are in general small (less than 50%). Three key reactions, nevertheless, stand out because they significantly affect the uncertainties of a large number of nuclides. These are $^{56}$Fe(n,$γ$), $^{64}$Ni(n,$γ$), and $^{138}$Ba(n,$γ$). We discuss the prospect of reducing uncertainties in the key reactions identified in this study with future experiments.

description: Stereospermum fimbriatum or locally known as “Chicha” is traditionally used for itchy skin, earache, stomachache and postpartum treatments. This study was designed to evaluate the antimicrobial potential of S. fimbriatum’s stem bark against 11 pathogens and isolate its bioactive compound. Successive soxhlet extraction was conducted using n-hexane, dichloromethane (DCM) and methanol. Disc diffusion, minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentration (MIC & MBC) assays were done to examine the antimicrobial activity. Bioassay-guided isolation was conducted on S. fimbriatum’s extract. The DCM extract of stem bark (DS) was the most potent extract followed by n-hexane extract of the stem bark (NS). A novel compound was isolated and coded as C1 which demonstrated potent antibacterial effects with the MIC values as low as 3.13 µg/mL to 6.25 µg/mL, against S. epidermidis, MRSA and S. aureus. Thus, S. fimbriatum could be a potential source of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of skin infections, specifically, MRSA.

description: Many processes in science and engineering can be described by partial differential equations (PDEs). Traditionally, PDEs are derived by considering first principles of physics to derive the relations between the involved physical quantities of interest. A different approach is to measure the quantities of interest and use deep learning to reverse engineer the PDEs which are describing the physical process. In this paper we use machine learning, and deep learning in particular, to discover PDEs hidden in complex data sets from measurement data. We include examples of data from a known model problem, and real data from weather station measurements. We show how necessary transformations of the input data amounts to coordinate transformations in the discovered PDE, and we elaborate on feature and model selection. It is shown that the dynamics of a non-linear, second order PDE can be accurately described by an ordinary differential equation which is automatically discovered by our deep learning algorithm. Even more interestingly, we show that similar results apply in the context of more complex simulations of the Swedish temperature distribution.

Quiescent galaxies at z=4: formation and evolution
Creators: name: Valentino, Francesco
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: We present our spectroscopic study of quenching/quiescent galaxies at z~4, resulted in the confirmation of 2 systems and a tentative constraint on a third one with Keck/MOSFIRE and VLT/X-Shooter. The confirmed objects include a compact system at z=4.01 with a measured stellar velocity dispersion of 268+/-59 km/s, fully consistent with z~2 quiescent galaxies. The absence of nebular emission lines and far-infrared detections confirms a suppressed star formation. From the joint modeling of the spectrum and the SED, we derive stellar masses of log(M*/Msun)~11, placing these galaxies >1-2 dex below the main sequence. Such modeling suggests that these sources experienced a strong (SFR~1200-3500 Msun/yr) and short (~50 Myr) burst of star formation in their past, properties reminiscent of the population of sub-mm galaxies (SMGs), generally indicated as candidate progenitors. We thus compare the comoving number densities and the expected properties of the progenitors with observations of z>4 SMGs, finding a fair agreement with the deepest surveys detecting not only the most extreme starbursts, but also more normal galaxies. Exploring the Illustris-TNG simulation, we do retrieve populations of quiescent galaxies at z~3-4 and SMGs at z~4-5, with number densities and properties in rough agreement with the observations at z~3, but in increasing tension at higher redshift. We find that not all the progenitors of z~4 quiescent galaxies shine as bright SMGs in their past and, conversely, not all bright SMGs quench by z~3. This cautions against the blind assumption of a univocal connection between the two populations at high redshift.
The Implications of a Pre-reionization 21 cm Absorption Signal for Fuzzy Dark Matter

description: The EDGES experiment recently announced evidence for a broad absorption feature in the sky-averaged radio spectrum around 78 MHz, as may result from absorption in the 21 cm line by neutral hydrogen at z~15-20. If confirmed, one implication is that the spin temperature of the 21 cm line is coupled to the gas temperature by z=20. The known mechanism for accomplishing this is the Wouthuysen-Field effect, whereby Lyman-alpha photons scatter in the intergalactic medium (IGM) and impact the hyperfine level populations. This suggests that early star formation had already produced a copious Lyman-alpha background by z=20, and strongly constrains models in which the linear matter power spectrum is suppressed on small-scales, since halo and star formation are delayed in such scenarios. Here we consider the case that the dark matter consists of ultra-light axions with macroscopic de Broglie wavelengths (fuzzy dark matter, FDM). We assume that star formation tracks halo formation and adopt two simple models from the current literature for the halo mass function in FDM. We further suppose that the fraction of halo baryons which form stars is less than a conservative upper limit of $f_\star \leq 0.05$, and that ~10^4 Lyman-alpha to Lyman-limit photons are produced per stellar baryon. We find that the requirement that the 21 cm spin temperature is coupled to the gas temperature by $z=20$ places a lower-limit on the FDM particle mass of $m_a \geq 5 \times 10^{-21} {\rm eV}$. The constraint is insensitive to the precise minimum mass of halos where stars form. As the global 21 cm measurements are refined, the coupling redshift could change and we quantify how the FDM constraint would be modified. A rough translation of the FDM mass bound to a thermal relic warm dark matter (WDM) mass bound is also provided.

description: We propose a minimal realization of the Peccei Quinn mechanism in a realistic SU(5) model, where the axion mass is directly connected to the grand-unification scale. By taking into account constraints from proton decay, collider searches and gauge coupling unification, we predict the axion mass: $m_a \in [4.8, 6.6]$ neV. The upper bound can be relaxed up to $m_a < 330$ neV, at the cost of tuning the flavour structure of the proton decay operators. The predicted mass window will be complementarily probed by the axion dark matter experiments ABRACADABRA and CASPER-Electric, which could provide an indirect evidence for the scale of grand unification before the observation of proton decay.

description: Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) an emerging and devastating viral infectious disease of cattle and buffalos of all ages. LSD causes severe economic loss to the farmers in terms of chronic debility, decreased milk yield, poor growth rate, infertility, abortion and even death. Twenty-seven animals were observed and treated during recent LSD outbreak. Out of 19 cows 18 were in milking and 4 were pregnant. The clinical signs varied from animal to animal. Nodular skin lesions varying in diameter were first sign in animals with mild farm of LSD whereas in acutely infected animals’ high fever nodular skin lesions were first symptoms. The nodular skin lesions were observed distributed throughout body of animal. The firm circumscribed nodules were concentrated on neck, perineum, genitalia udder and limbs. The infected animals also presented symptoms of high fever, general depression, lacrimation, increased nasal discharges, anorexia and dysgalactia. Permanent loss of one quarter was observed in one cow and loss of full udder in 2 cows. It is concluded that Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is an economically devastating viral disease of cattle characterized by distinctive nodular lesions principally on the skin, hence reduces hide quality. A treatment aimed at preventing LSD complications and saving the life has been successful using a combination of antimicrobials and anti-inflammatory.

description: This text offers an original reading of Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre that puts into light its dimension of medicina mentalis, namely its psychiatric function for modernity. Indeed, the Wissenschaftslehre's theoretical content includes its therapeutic aspects in a universe of pure speculation, totally separated from the concrete world where therapist and patient concretely interact. Furthermore, Fichte's thought plays arelevant role from an anthropological standpoint as well, insofar as there is no interaction (and transfert) between therapist and patient without taking into account their cultural heritage. Accordingly, psychiatry is based upon a process of reciprocal comprehension of the theoretical and anthropological a priori of both therapist and patient. In other words, the understanding of therapist's and patient's cultural world is the transcendental condition of any psychiatry.

description: Context. In 2015, Barman et al. (ApJ, 804, 61) presented detections of absorption from water, carbon monoxide, and methane in the atmosphere of the directly imaged exoplanet HR8799b using integral field spectroscopy (IFS) with OSIRIS on the Keck II telescope. We recently devised a new method to analyse IFU data, called molecule mapping, searching for high-frequency signatures of particular molecules in an IFU data cube. Aims. The aim of this paper is to use the molecule mapping technique to search for the previously detected spectral signatures in HR8799b using the same data, allowing a comparison of molecule mapping with previous methods. Methods. The medium-resolution H- and K-band pipeline-reduced archival data were retrieved from the Keck archive facility. Telluric and stellar lines were removed from each spectrum in the data cube, after which the residuals were cross-correlated with model spectra of carbon monoxide, water, and methane. Results. Both carbon monoxide and water are clearly detected at high signal-to-noise, however, methane is not retrieved. Conclusions. Molecule mapping works very well on the OSIRIS data of exoplanet HR8799b. However, it is not evident why methane is detected in the original analysis, but not with the molecule mapping technique. Possible causes could be the presence of telluric residuals, different spectral filtering techniques, or the use of different methane models. We do note that in the original analysis methane was only detected in the K-band, while the H-band methane signal could be expected to be comparably strong. More sensitive observations with the JWST will be capable of confirming or disproving the presence of methane in this planet at high confidence.

description: We analyze the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) in the Minimal Supersymmetric Model with explicit R-parity violating terms. The leading contribution to the EDM occurs at the 2-loop level and is dominated by the chromoelectric dipole moments of quarks, assuming there is no tree-level mixings between sleptons and Higgs bosons or between leptons and gauginos. Based on the experimental constraint on the neutron EDM, we set limits on the imaginary parts of complex couplings ${λ'}_{ijk}$ and $λ_{ijk}$ due to the virtual b-loop or tau-loop.

Cultural Resistance in Dance Anthropology: Batuko Dance and The Cape Verdean Refugees
Creators: name: Saab, Luiza Beloti Abi
Publisher: name: E-Journal of Intercultural Studies
Year: 2021

description: This article analyzes the traditional Cape Verdean dance Batuko in two different contexts. The first one is its tradition in the country as a social practice and the second one is the context of Batuko inside a refugee village in Cape Verde, called Rabelados. The village emerged within a movement of religious resistance in the 1940s, and lived for more than 70 years in total isolation, conserving and abandoning some of its most important traditions. This research combines some unpublished material from the author’s fieldwork in Cape Verde in 2015 with a theoretical analysis of Batuko trajectory and history of struggle and survival within this context of isolation and refuge.

description: The interaction of gas-rich galaxies with the intra-cluster medium (ICM) of galaxy clusters has a remarkable impact on their evolution, mainly due to the gas loss associated with this process. In this work, we use an idealised, high-resolution simulation of a Virgo-like cluster, run with RAMSES and with dynamics reproducing that of a zoom cosmological simulation, to investigate the interaction of infalling galaxies with the ICM. We find that the tails of ram pressure stripped galaxies give rise to a population of up to more than a hundred clumps of molecular gas lurking in the cluster. The number count of those clumps varies a lot over time -- they are preferably generated when a large galaxy crosses the cluster (M$_{200c} > 10^{12}$ M$_\odot$), and their lifetime ($\lesssim 300$ Myr) is small compared to the age of the cluster. We compute the intracluster luminosity associated with the star formation which takes place within those clumps, finding that the stars formed in all of the galaxy tails combined amount to an irrelevant contribution to the intracluster light. Surprisingly, we also find in our simulation that the ICM gas significantly changes the composition of the gaseous disks of the galaxies: after crossing the cluster once, typically 20% of the cold gas still in those disks comes from the ICM.

description: We study continuous countably (strictly) monotone maps defined on a tame graph, i.e., a special Peano continuum for which the set containing branchpoints and endpoints has a countable closure. In our investigation we confine ourselves to the countable Markov case. We show a necessary and sufficient condition under which a locally eventually onto, countably Markov map $f$ of a tame graph $G$ is conjugate to a constant slope map $g$ of a countably affine tame graph. In particular, we show that in the case of a Markov map $f$ that corresponds to recurrent transition matrix, the condition is satisfied for constant slope $e^{h_{\operatorname{top}}(f)}$, where $h_{\operatorname{top}}(f)$ is the topological entropy of $f$. Moreover, we show that in our class the topological entropy $h_{\operatorname{top}}(f)$ is achievable through horseshoes of the map $f$.

description: Proton and neutron electric and magnetic form factors are the primary characteristics of their spatial structure and have been studied extensively over the past half-century. At large values of the momentum transfer $Q^2$ they should reveal transition from nonperturbative to perturbative QCD dynamics as well as effects of quark orbital angular momenta and diquark correlations. Currently, these form factors are being measured at JLab at momentum transfer up to $Q^2=18$ GeV$^2$ for the proton and up to 14 GeV$^2$ for the neutron. We report preliminary results of our lattice calculations of these form factors, including $G_E$ and $G_M$ nucleon form factors with momenta up to $Q^2=8$ GeV$^2$, pion masses down to the almost-physical $m_π$=170 MeV, several lattice spacings down to $a=0.073$ fm, and high $O(10^5)$ statistics. Specifically, we study individual form factors, the $G_E/G_M$ ratios, and flavor dependence of contributions to the form factors. We observe qualitative agreement of our ab initio theory calculations with experiment. Comparison of our calculations and upcoming JLab experimental results will be an important test of nonperturbative QCD methods in the almost-perturbative regime.

description: A memória transmite conhecimentos, mas a mesma pode ser herdada, ou vivida por tabela, não se constituindo em uma experiência do grupo o qual nos referimos ou pertencemos. Esta é uma situação que busca incorporar práticas através da repetição. O Caminho do Sol, em São Paulo, surgiu após seu idealizador ter feito uma peregrinação à Santiago de Compostela, no ano de 1996. De lá para cá, gradativamente, foram sendo realizadas atividades e incorporadas referenciais que lembram as mesmas do Caminho Espanhol. O objetivo deste artigo é compreender a relação entre a tradição inventada e a memória enquadrada na construção do Caminho do Sol (localizado no Brasil), tendo como referência o Caminho de Santiago (localizado na Espanha). Metodologicamente a pesquisa, primeiramente é considerada bibliográfica, com revisão de literatura em livros e artigos científicos e, num segundo momento, foram realizadas entrevistas com os hospitaleiros. Conclui-se que no Caminho do Sol há uma convergência dos conceitos de tradição inventada e memória enquadrada: a busca por elementos da peregrinação de Santiago seja em elementos constitutivos; como a presença das hospedagens – por consequência dos hospitaleiros – ou do trajeto em si que busca similaridades geográficas.

description: We treat 0+ -> 2+ neutrinoless double beta decays taking into account recoil corrections to the nuclear currents. The decay probability can be written as a quadratic form of the effective coupling constants of the right-handed leptonic currents and the effective neutrino mass. We calculate the nuclear matrix elements for the 0+ -> 2+ neutrinoless double beta decays of 76Ge and 100Mo, and demonstrate that the relative sensitivities of 0+ -> 2+ decays to the neutrino mass and the right-handed currents are comparable to those of 0+ -> 0+ decays.

description: We present a study of the C K-edge using high-resolution LETGS Chandra spectra of four novae during their super-soft-source (SSS) phase. We identified absorption lines due to C~ii K$α$, C~iii K$α$ and C~ iii K$β$ resonances. We used these astronomical observations to perform a benchmarking of the atomic data, which involves wavelength shifts of the resonances and photoionization cross-sections. We used improved atomic data to estimate the C~ii and C~iii column densities. The absence of physical shifts for the absorption lines, the consistence of the column densities between multiple observations and the high temperature required for the SSS nova atmosphere modeling support our conclusion about an ISM origin of the respective absorption lines. Assuming a collisional ionization equilibrium plasma the maximum temperature derived from the ratio of C~ii/C~iii column densities of the absorbers correspond to $T_{max}< 3.05\times10^{4}$ K.

description: A memória cultural ou memória coletiva é o conjunto de práticas, estruturas e médias pelas quais um grupo de pessoas relembra narrativas de um passado comum. Mas, em muitas ocasiões, ela não está restrita aos limites que definem esse grupo, já que se transporta e se transforma através do contato com outras memórias. Na atualidade, os filmes são meios pelos quais essa transculturalidade é processada com mais frequência, devido à facilidade que eles têm de cruzar fronteiras sociais, linguísticas e políticas. Este ensaio usa alguns desses conceitos para analisar, no filme Yvy Maraey (Valdivia, 2013), como memórias distintas se relacionam em um processo de viagem, descoberta e ressignificação.

description: A recent inelastic neutron scattering experiment on $\mathrm{Yb}_2 \mathrm{Ti}_2 \mathrm{O}_7$ uncovers an unusual scattering continuum in the spin excitation spectrum despite the splayed ferromagnetic order in the ground state. While there exist well defined spin wave excitations at high magnetic fields, the one magnon modes and the two magnon continuum start to strongly overlap upon decreasing the field, and eventually they become the scattering continuum at zero field. Motivated by these observations, we investigate the possible emergence of a magnetically ordered ground state with fractionalized excitations in the spin model with the exchange parameters determined from two previous experiments. Using the fermionic parton mean field theory, we show that the magnetically ordered state with fractionalized excitations can arise as a stable mean field ground state in the presence of sufficiently strong quantum fluctuations. The spin excitation spectrum in such a ground state is computed and shown to have the scattering continuum. Upon increasing the magnetic field, the fractionalized magnetically ordered state is suppressed, and is eventually replaced by the conventional magnetically ordered phase at high fields, which is consistent with the experimental data. We discuss further implications of these results to the experiments and possible improvements on the theoretical analysis.
