description: In a very recent preprint, Witten showed how to construct a $g|r \, \times \, g|r$ super period matrix for super Riemann surfaces of genus $g$ with $2r$ Ramond punctures, which is symmetric in the ${\bf Z}_2$ graded sense. He also showed how it can be applied to analyze supersymmetry breaking in string compactifications which are supersymmetric at tree-level. Witten's construction is in the purely holomorphic formulation of super Riemann surfaces. In this paper, a construction is given in the formulation of two-dimensional supergravity. The variations of the super period matrix with respect to supermoduli deformations are also given, as well as an explicit illustration of how the super period matrix with two Ramond punctures would emerge from a degeneration of the super period matrix without punctures in higher genus.

description: Disease resistance has become one of the most important and desirable traits across all cultivated crops, for
 conventionally-bred, as well as transgenic (GM) and gene-edited (GE) crops. For over two decades, the largest cultivated
 transgenic crops focused on insect and herbicide resistance. Disease resistance presents a more complex task due to the
 sheer diversity of pathogens and infection mechanisms. Genome editing offers a precise, efficient, and affordable
 technique resulting in new GE crops entering regulatory schemes for commercialisation. We aver that the law is not static
 and must adjust to the mores of society, informed by the experiences of over 25 years of cultivation and regulation of GM
 crops. This work consolidates the global legislative landscape on GM crops, as well as specifically addressing how GE
 crops fit into the existing frameworks. Our presentation aims to highlight key regulatory developments that may impact
 the future of GE research and ultimately, GE products. To this end, countries leading in cultivating and exporting
 traditional GM crops are quickly adopting disease resistant GE products as non-GMO. This legislative development, first
 implemented in Argentina, and soon followed by many, demonstrates considerable shifts in the landscape of agrobiotech
 products. We further illustrate the complex legal frameworks using specific examples of disease challenges such as
 potato late blight, and possible solutions.

description: Being able to explain the prediction to clinical end-users is a necessity to leverage the power of artificial intelligence (AI) models for clinical decision support. For medical images, a feature attribution map, or heatmap, is the most common form of explanation that highlights important features for AI models' prediction. However, it is unknown how well heatmaps perform on explaining decisions on multi-modal medical images, where each image modality or channel visualizes distinct clinical information of the same underlying biomedical phenomenon. Understanding such modality-dependent features is essential for clinical users' interpretation of AI decisions. To tackle this clinically important but technically ignored problem, we propose the modality-specific feature importance (MSFI) metric. It encodes clinical image and explanation interpretation patterns of modality prioritization and modality-specific feature localization. We conduct a clinical requirement-grounded, systematic evaluation using computational methods and a clinician user study. Results show that the examined 16 heatmap algorithms failed to fulfill clinical requirements to correctly indicate AI model decision process or decision quality. The evaluation and MSFI metric can guide the design and selection of XAI algorithms to meet clinical requirements on multi-modal explanation.

description: In this work several lagrangian methods were used to analyze the mixing processes in an experimental model of a constricted artery under a pulsatile flow. Upstream Reynolds number $Re$ was changed between 1187 and 1999, while the pulsatile period $T$ was kept fixed at 0.96s. Velocity fields were acquired using Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV) for a region of interest (ROI) located downstream of the constriction. The flow is composed of a central jet and a recirculation region near the wall where vortex forms and sheds. To study the mixing processes, finite time Lyapunov exponents (FTLE) fields and concentration maps were computed. Two lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) responsible for mixing and transporting fluid were found from FTLE ridges. A first LCS delimits the trailing edge of the vortex, separating the flow that enters the ROI between successive periods. A second LCS delimits the leading edge of the vortex. This LCS concentrates the highest particle agglomeration, as verified by the concentration maps. Moreover, from the particle residence time maps (RT) the probability for a fluid particle of leaving the ROI before one cycle was measured. As $Re$ increases, the probability of leaving the ROI increases from 0.6 to 0.95. Final position maps $r{_f}$ were introduced to evaluate the flow mixing between different subregions of the ROI. These maps allowed us to compute an exchange index between subregions, $\bar{\mathrm{EI}}$, which shows the main region responsible for the mixing increase with $Re$. Finally by integrating the results of the different lagrangian methods (FTLE, Concentration maps, RT and $r_f$ maps), a comprehensive description of the mixing and transport of the flow was provided.

description: We provide a theoretical framework to mold time-modulated lattices with frequency conversion and wave-steering capabilities. We initially focus on 1D lattices, whereby a sufficiently slow time-modulation of the stiffness is employed to convert the frequency content of impinging waves. Based on the adiabatic theorem, we demonstrate that undesired reflections, which emerge in time-discontinuous materials, can be eliminated by a careful choice of the modulation velocity. The concept is later explored in the context of 2D lattices, whereby a slow time modulation of the stiffness not only induces frequency conversion without back-scattering, but also serves as a mechanism to steer waves. Our paper explores a new and exciting way to control wave propagation in elastodynamics with scattering-free guiding capabilities, and may open new avenues for the manipulation and transport of information through elastic waves.

description: Deep reinforcement learning in partially observable environments is a difficult task in itself, and can be further complicated by a sparse reward signal. Most tasks involving navigation in three-dimensional environments provide the agent with extremely limited information. Typically, the agent receives a visual observation input from the environment and is rewarded once at the end of the episode. A good reward function could substantially improve the convergence of reinforcement learning algorithms for such tasks. The classic approach to increase the density of the reward signal is to augment it with supplementary rewards. This technique is called the reward shaping. In this study, we propose two modifications of one of the recent reward shaping methods based on graph convolutional networks: the first involving advanced aggregation functions, and the second utilizing the attention mechanism. We empirically validate the effectiveness of our solutions for the task of navigation in a 3D environment with sparse rewards. For the solution featuring attention mechanism, we are also able to show that the learned attention is concentrated on edges corresponding to important transitions in 3D environment.

description: We present time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering measurements of $La_{1.965}Ba_{0.035}CuO_{4}$ (LBCO), a lightly doped member of the high temperature superconducting La-based cuprate family. By using time-of-flight neutron instrumentation coupled with single crystal sample rotation we obtain a four-dimensional data set (three {\bf Q} and one energy) that is both comprehensive and spans a large region of reciprocal space. Our measurements identify rich structure in the energy dependence of the highly dispersive spin excitations, which are centered at equivalent ($\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2}, L$) wave-vectors. These structures correlate strongly with several crossings of the spin excitations with the lightly dispersive phonons found in this system. These effects are significant and account for on the order of 25$\%$ of the total inelastic scattering for energies between $\sim$5 and 40 meV at low $|{\bf Q}|$. Interestingly, this scattering also presents little or no $L$-dependence. As the phonons and dispersive spin excitations centered at equivalent ($\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2}, L$) wave-vectors are common to all members of La-based 214 copper oxides, we conclude such strong quasi-two dimensional scattering enhancements are likely to occur in all such 214 families of materials, including those concentrations corresponding to superconducting ground states. Such a phenomenon appears to be a fundamental characteristic of these materials and is potentially related to superconducting pairing.

description: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) are largely inspired by biology and neuroscience and leverage ideas and theories to create fast and efficient learning systems. Spiking neuron models are adopted as core processing units in neuromorphic systems because they enable event-based processing. The integrate-and-fire (I&F) models are often adopted, with the simple Leaky I&F (LIF) being the most used. The reason for adopting such models is their efficiency and/or biological plausibility. Nevertheless, rigorous justification for adopting LIF over other neuron models for use in artificial learning systems has not yet been studied. This work considers various neuron models in the literature and then selects computational neuron models that are single-variable, efficient, and display different types of complexities. From this selection, we make a comparative study of three simple I&F neuron models, namely the LIF, the Quadratic I&F (QIF) and the Exponential I&F (EIF), to understand whether the use of more complex models increases the performance of the system and whether the choice of a neuron model can be directed by the task to be completed. Neuron models are tested within an SNN trained with Spike-Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) on a classification task on the N-MNIST and DVS Gestures datasets. Experimental results reveal that more complex neurons manifest the same ability as simpler ones to achieve high levels of accuracy on a simple dataset (N-MNIST), albeit requiring comparably more hyper-parameter tuning. However, when the data possess richer Spatio-temporal features, the QIF and EIF neuron models steadily achieve better results. This suggests that accurately selecting the model based on the richness of the feature spectrum of the data could improve the whole system's performance. Finally, the code implementing the spiking neurons in the SpykeTorch framework is made publicly available.

description: The history of the Institute of Physics at the University of Florence is traced from the beginning of the 20th century, with the arrival of Antonio Garbasso as Director (1913), to the 1960s. Thanks to Garbasso's expertise, not only did the Institute gain new premises on Arcetri hill, where the Astronomical Observatory was already located, but it also formed a brilliant group of young physicists made up of Enrico Fermi, Franco Rasetti, Enrico Persico, Bruno Rossi, Gilberto Bernardini, Daria Bocciarelli, Lorenzo Emo Capodilista, Giuseppe Occhialini and Giulio Racah, who were engaged in the emerging fields of Quantum Mechanics and Cosmic Rays. This Arcetri School disintegrated in the late 1930s for the transfer of its protagonists to chairs in other universities, for the environment created by the fascist regime and, to some extent, for the racial laws. After the war, the legacy was taken up by some students of this school who formed research groups in the field of nuclear physics and elementary particle physics. As far as theoretical physics was concerned, after the Fermi and Persico periods these studies enjoyed a new expansion towards the end of the 1950s, with the arrival of Giacomo Morpurgo and above all, that of Raoul Gatto, who created the first real Italian school of Theoretical Physics at Arcetri.

description: Background: Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is important nosocomial pathogen which has elevated morbidity and
mortality rates. Objectives: The aim of our study was to find out the present scenario of prevalence, antibiotic susceptibility pattern and the demographic
factors such as age and gender related to MRSA in different wards of tertiary hospital. Methods: Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from fifty one clinical specimens at Mayo hospital, Lahore and were subjected to in vitro
sensitivity against various antimicrobials by using Kirby Bauer disc diffusion method. Results: Out of total S. aureus isolated 55% were found to be resistant with methicillin/oxacillin. Most of the MRSA specimens were
also found to be susceptible to vancomycin, whereas most were found resistant to ampicillin. Majority of MRSA were isolated from
blood samples (31%) followed by pus samples (28%). Most MRSA isolates were seen in the patients admitted in medical wards (32%)
followed by dermatology (18%). Conclusions: Vancomycin is losing its effectiveness against methicillin resistant strains of S. aureus, as one vancomycin resistant sample
was also isolated during the study. Prevalence of MRSA found elevated which was evident as more prevalent in males as compare to
females, and 30-39 years age group was found to be more affected. Medical ward had most of the MRSA patients followed by dermatology.
Improved diagnostic techniques can produce better results by promoting targeted therapy. Laws should be devised which will
keep a check on the antibiotic prescriptions made by doctors.

description: Zellner's $g$-prior is a popular prior choice for the model selection problems in the context of normal regression models. Wang and Sun [J. Statist. Plann. Inference 147 (2014) 95-105] recently adopt this prior and put a special hyper-prior for $g$, which results in a closed-form expression of Bayes factor for nested linear model comparisons. They have shown that under very general conditions, the Bayes factor is consistent when two competing models are of order $O(n^τ)$ for $τ<1$ and for $τ=1$ is almost consistent except a small inconsistency region around the null hypothesis. In this paper, we study Bayes factor consistency for nonnested linear models with a growing number of parameters. Some of the proposed results generalize the ones of the Bayes factor for the case of nested linear models. Specifically, we compare the asymptotic behaviors between the proposed Bayes factor and the intrinsic Bayes factor in the literature.

description: The extreme pressures required to stabilize the recently discovered superhydrides represent a major obstacle to their practical application. In this paper, we propose a novel route to attain high-temperature superconductivity in hydrides at ambient pressure, by doping commercial metal borohydrides. Using first-principles calculations based on Density Functional Theory and Migdal-Eliashberg theory, we demonstrate that in Ca(BH$_4$)$_2$ a moderate hole doping of 0.03 holes per formula unit, obtained through a partial replacement of Ca with monovalent K, is sufficient to achieve $T_c$'s as high as 110 K. The high-$T_c$ arises because of the strong electron-phonon coupling between the B-H $σ$ molecular orbitals and bond-stretching phonons. Using a random sampling of large supercells to estimate the local effects of doping, we show that the required doping can be achieved without significant disruption of the electronic structure and at moderate energetic cost. Given the wide commercial availability of metal borohydrides, the ideas presented here can find prompt experimental confirmation. If successful, the synthesis of high-$T_c$ doped borohydrides will represent a formidable advancement towards technological exploitation of conventional superconductors.

description: Large time-stepping is important for efficient long-time simulations of deterministic and stochastic Hamiltonian dynamical systems. Conventional structure-preserving integrators, while being successful for generic systems, have limited tolerance to time step size due to stability and accuracy constraints. We propose to use data to innovate classical integrators so that they can be adaptive to large time-stepping and are tailored to each specific system. In particular, we introduce NySALT, Nyström-type inference-based schemes adaptive to large time-stepping. The NySALT has optimal parameters for each time step learnt from data by minimizing the one-step prediction error. Thus, it is tailored for each time step size and the specific system to achieve optimal performance and tolerate large time-stepping in an adaptive fashion. We prove and numerically verify the convergence of the estimators as data size increases. Furthermore, analysis and numerical tests on the deterministic and stochastic Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) models show that NySALT enlarges the maximal admissible step size of linear stability, and quadruples the time step size of the Störmer--Verlet and the BAOAB when maintaining similar levels of accuracy.

description: Compliance management plays an important role in mitigating insider threats. Incentive design is a proactive and non-invasive approach to achieving compliance by aligning an insider's incentive with the defender's security objective, which motivates (rather than commands) an insider to act in the organization's interests. Controlling insiders' incentives for population-level compliance is challenging because they are neither precisely known nor directly controllable. To this end, we develop ZETAR, a zero-trust audit and recommendation framework, to provide a quantitative approach to model insiders' incentives and design customized recommendation policies to improve their compliance. We formulate primal and dual convex programs to compute the optimal bespoke recommendation policies. We create the theoretical underpinning for understanding trust, compliance, and satisfaction, which leads to scoring mechanisms of how compliant and persuadable an insider is. After classifying insiders as malicious, self-interested, or amenable based on their incentive misalignment levels with the defender, we establish bespoke information disclosure principles for these insiders of different incentive categories. We identify the policy separability principle and the set convexity, which enable finite-step algorithms to efficiently learn the Completely Trustworthy (CT) policy set when insiders' incentives are unknown. Finally, we present a case study to corroborate the design. Our results show that ZETAR can well adapt to insiders with different risk and compliance attitudes and significantly improve compliance. Moreover, trustworthy recommendations can provably promote cyber hygiene and insiders' satisfaction.

Direct numerical simulation of turbulent pipe flow up to $Re_τ=5200$

description: Well-resolved direct numerical simulations (DNSs) have been performed of the flow in a smooth circular pipe of radius $R$ and axial length $10πR$ at friction Reynolds numbers up to $Re_τ=5200$. Various turbulence statistics are documented and compared with other DNS and experimental data in pipes as well as channels.Small but distinct differences between various datasets are identified. The friction factor $λ$ overshoots by $2\%$ and undershoots by $0.6\%$ of the Prandtl friction law at low and high $Re$ ranges, respectively. In addition, $λ$ in our results is slightly higher than that in Pirozzoli et al. (J. Fluid. Mech., 926, A28, 2021), but matches well with the experiments in Furuichi et al. (Phys. Fluids, 27, 095108, 2015). The log-law indicator function, which is nearly indistinguishable between the pipe and channel flows up to $y^+=250$, has not yet developed a plateau further away from the wall in the pipes even for the $Re_τ=5200$ cases. The wall shear stress fluctuations and the inner peak of the axial velocity intensity -- which grow monotonically with $Re_τ$ -- are lower in the pipe than in the channel, but the difference decreases with increasing $Re_τ$. While the wall values are slightly lower in channel than pipe flows at the same $Re_τ$, the inner peaks of the pressure fluctuations show negligible differences between them. The Reynolds number scaling of all these quantities agrees with both the logarithmic and defect power laws if the coefficients are properly chosen. The one-dimensional spectrum of the axial velocity fluctuation exhibits a $k^{-1}$ dependence at an intermediate distance from the wall -- as also seen in the channel flow. In summary, this high-fidelity data enable us to provide better insights into the flow physics in the pipes and the similarity/difference among different types of wall turbulence.

description: We introduce the notion of a positive spectral measure on a $σ$-algebra, taking values in the positive projections on a Banach lattice. Such a measure generates a bounded positive representation of the bounded measurable functions. If $X$ is a locally compact Hausdorff space, and $π$ is a positive representation of $C_0(X)$ on a KB-space, then $π$ is the restriction to $C_0(X)$ of such a representation generated by a unique regular positive spectral measure on the Borel $σ$-algebra of $X$. The relation between a positive representation of $C_0(X)$ on a Banach lattice and -- if it exists -- a generating positive spectral measure on the Borel $σ$-algebra is further investigated; here and elsewhere phenomena occur that are specific for the ordered context.
description: There is now a direct proof of the existence of a generating regular positive spectral measure in the case of KB-spaces, without resorting to the Banach space theory. References to the existing literature on the Banach space case have been added, and perspectives for future research are now given. 24 pages, to appear in Ann. Funct. Anal

description: Purpose: This investigation was conducted to determine whether young children with autism spectrum disorders exhibited a canonical neural response to word stimuli and whether putative event-related potential (ERP) measures of word processing were correlated with a concurrent measure of receptive language. Additional exploratory analyses were used to examine whether the magnitude of the association between ERP measures of word processing and receptive language varied as a function of the number of word stimuli the participants reportedly understood.Method: Auditory ERPs were recorded in response to spoken words and nonwords presented with equal probability in 34 children aged 2–5 years with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder who were in the early stages of language acquisition. Average amplitudes and amplitude differences between word and nonword stimuli within 200–500 ms were examined at left temporal (T3) and parietal (P3) electrode clusters. Receptive vocabulary size and the number of experimental stimuli understood were concurrently measured using the MacArthur–Bates Communicative Development Inventories.Results: Across the entire participant group, word–nonword amplitude differences were diminished. The average word–nonword amplitude difference at T3 was related to receptive vocabulary only if 5 or more word stimuli were understood.Conclusions: If ERPs are to ever have clinical utility, their construct validity must be established by investigations that confirm their associations with predictably related constructs. These results contribute to accruing evidence, suggesting that a valid measure of auditory word processing can be derived from the left temporal response to words and nonwords. In addition, this measure can be useful even for participants who do not reportedly understand all of the words presented as experimental stimuli, though it will be important for researchers to track familiarity with word stimuli in future investigations.
