description: We point out similarity of thermodynamic conditions reached in intermediate energy nuclear collisions and in supernova explosions. We show that a statistical approach, which has been previously applied for nuclear multifragmentation reactions, can be very useful for description of electro-neutral stellar matter. Then properties of hot unstable nuclei extracted from analysis of multifragmentation data can be used for construction of a realistic equation of state of supernova matter.

description: The variance of the local density of the pair contact process with diffusion (PCPD) is investigated in a bosonic description. At the critical point of the absorbing phase transition (where the average particle number remains constant) it is shown that for lattice dimension d>2 the variance exhibits a phase transition: For high enough diffusion constants, it asymptotically approaches a finite value, while for low diffusion constants the variance diverges exponentially in time. This behavior appears also in the density correlation function, implying that the correlation time is negative. Yet one has dynamical scaling with a dynamical exponent calculated to be z=2.

Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)

description: A minor of a matrix is quasi-principal if it is a principal or an almost-principal minor. The quasi principal rank characteristic sequence (qpr-sequence) of an $n\times n$ symmetric matrix is introduced, which is defined as $q_1 q_2 \cdots q_n$, where $q_k$ is $\tt A$, $\tt S$, or $\tt N$, according as all, some but not all, or none of its quasi-principal minors of order $k$ are nonzero. This sequence extends the principal rank characteristic sequences in the literature, which only depend on the principal minors of the matrix. A necessary condition for the attainability of a qpr-sequence is established. Using probabilistic techniques, a complete characterization of the qpr-sequences that are attainable by symmetric matrices over fields of characteristic $0$ is given.

description: Energies, total and partial widths, and reduced width amplitudes of 8Be resonances up to an excitation energy of 26 MeV are extracted from a coupled channel analysis of experimental data. The presence of an extremely broad J^pi = 2^+ ``intruder'' resonance is confirmed, while a new 1^+ and very broad 4^+ resonance are discovered. A previously known 22 MeV 2^+ resonance is likely resolved into two resonances. The experimental J^pi T = 3^(+)? resonance at 22 MeV is determined to be 3^-0, and the experimental 1^-? (at 19 MeV) and 4^-? resonances to be isospin 0.

description: The outcome of elderly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients is poor, which was traditionally attributed to patient- and leukemia-related factors. However, studies about the genetic features of these elderly patients have not been integrated and the genetic mechanism of their poor outcome is less known. Here, we used next generation sequencing (NGS) to identify the genetic features of elderly AML patients and confirmed the efficacy of chemotherapy based on molecular aberrations. Mutations in 111 genes relevant to hematological malignancy was analysed by virtue of NGS and the genetic differences were compared between elderly (n=52) and young (n=161) AML patients. Furthermore, the outcome of decitabine-based chemotherapy was identified in elderly patients. Frequencies of adverse genetic alterations, such as RUNX1 and secondary-type mutations (ASXL1, STAG2 and spliceosome), were much higher in elderly patients, while the frequency of WT1 mutations was much lower. Moreover, epigenetic mutations such as DNMT3A, TET2, ASXL1 and IDH2, were also more common in elderly patients. Furthermore, there were 39 elderly patients receiving the decitabine-based chemotherapy, and the results showed that the overall response rate (ORR) and complete remission rate (CR) were 76.9% and 71.8%, respectively. The median overall survival (OS) for those older patients was 12 months, and the 2-year OS probability was 20.5%. Our study provides deep understanding into the molecular mechanisms of the poor outcome of elderly AML patients. Epigenetic mutations play an important role, and decitabine-based regimen can be used as alternative first-line chemotherapy for elderly patients.

description: Quantum secret sharing is a method for sharing a secret quantum state among a number of individuals such that certain authorized subsets of participants can recover the secret shared state by collaboration and other subsets cannot. In this paper, we first propose a method for sharing a quantum secret in a basic $(2,3)$ threshold scheme, only by using qubits and the 7-qubit CSS code. Based on this $(2,3)$ scheme, we propose a new $(n, n)$ scheme and we also construct a quantum secret sharing scheme for any quantum access structure by induction. Secondly, based on the techniques of performing quantum computation on 7-qubit CSS codes, we introduce a method that authorized subsets can perform universal quantum computation on this shared state, without the need for recovering it. This generalizes recent attempts for doing quantum computation on $(n, n)$ threshold schemes.

description: Renormalization group analysis of boundary conformal field theory on bosonic D25-brane is used to study tachyon condensation. Placing the lump on a finite circle and triggering only the first three tachyon modes, the theory flows to nearby IR fixed point representing lumps that are extended object with definite profile. The boundary entropy corresponding to the D24-brane tension is calculated in the leading order in perturbative analysis which decreases under RG flow and agrees with the expected result to an accuracy of 8%. Multicritical behaviour of the IR theory suggests that the end point of the flow represents a configuration of two D24-branes. Analogy with Kondo physics is discussed.

Aspectual composition using weak type coercion

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: Philosophy
subject: FOS: Philosophy, ethics and religion

description: Abstract: "Work on aspect has long focussed on classifications of linguistic expressions into aspectual types, or Vendler-classes. Typical Vendler-classes include states, processes, and events. Such classifications miss the important generalization about aspectual interpretationthat it is a compositional process. It has been noted in the literature that terms can switch Vendler-classes; this has been called the category-switch problem. In our analysis, it is proposed that meanings and not expressions fall into aspectual classes, and that the aspectual type of a meaning is derived by a process of aspectual composition. This process operates on underlying generalized activities that are similar to the nuclei proposed by Moens & Steedman, which in turn resemble plans.The interplay between semantic selection for a certain aspectual type and the application of type-changing operators to the meanings of verbphrases and sentences that occurs during aspectual composition constitutes weak aspectual type coercion. Our approach is illustrated with a unification-based grammar fragment that accounts for aspectual composition with certain adverbials, such as in a day or for an hour."

There are natural line bundles over this moduli space; we construct geometric representatives for the Chern classes of these line bundles, and prove that the ring generated by these Chern classes vanishes below the dimension of the moduli space, generalising a conjecture of Newstead.

description: Low-frequency radio surveys are ideal for selecting orientation-independent samples of extragalactic sources because the sample members are selected by virtue of their isotropic steep-spectrum extended emission. We use the new 7C Redshift Survey along with the brighter 3CRR and 6C samples to investigate the fraction of objects with observed broad emission lines - the `quasar fraction' - as a function of redshift and of radio and narrow emission line luminosity. We find that the quasar fraction is more strongly dependent upon luminosity (both narrow line and radio) than it is on redshift. Above a narrow [OII] emission line luminosity of log L_[OII] > 35 W (or radio luminosity log L_151 > 26.5 W/Hz/sr), the quasar fraction is virtually independent of redshift and luminosity; this is consistent with a simple unified scheme with an obscuring torus with a half-opening angle theta_trans approx 53 degrees. For objects with less luminous narrow lines, the quasar fraction is lower. We show that this is not due to the difficulty of detecting lower-luminosity broad emission lines in a less luminous, but otherwise similar, quasar population. We discuss evidence which supports at least two probable physical causes for the drop in quasar fraction at low luminosity: (i) a gradual decrease in theta_trans and/or a gradual increase in the fraction of lightly-reddened (0 < A(V) < 5) lines-of-sight with decreasing quasar luminosity; and (ii) the emergence of a distinct second population of low luminosity radio sources which, like M87, lack a well-fed quasar nucleus and may well lack a thick obscuring torus.

description: We present the results of a detailed time resolved luminescence study carried out on a very high quality InGaAs quantum well sample where the contributions at the energy of the exciton and at the band edge can be clearly separated. We perform this experiment with a spectral resolution and a sensitivity of the set-up allowing to keep the observation of these two separate contributions over a broad range of times and densities. This allows us to directly evidence the exciton formation time, which depends on the density as expected from theory. We also evidence the dominant contribution of a minority of excitons to the luminescence signal, and the absence of thermodynamical equilibrium at low densities.

description: Around-device interaction techniques aim at extending the input space using various sensing modalities on mobile and wearable devices. In this paper, we present our work towards extending the input area of mobile devices using front-facing device-centered cameras that capture reflections in the human eye. As current generation mobile devices lack high resolution front-facing cameras we study the feasibility of around-device interaction using corneal reflective imaging based on a high resolution camera. We present a workflow, a technical prototype and an evaluation, including a migration path from high resolution to low resolution imagers. Our study indicates, that under optimal conditions a spatial sensing resolution of 5 cm in the vicinity of a mobile phone is possible.

description: Drell-Yan lepton pair production processes are extremely important for Standard Model (SM) precision tests and for beyond the SM searches at hadron colliders. Fast and accurate predictions are essential to enable the best use of the precision measurements of these processes; they are used for parton density fits, for the extraction of fundamental parameters of the SM, and for the estimation of background processes in searches. This paper describes a new numerical program, DYTurbo, for the calculation of the QCD transverse-momentum resummation of Drell-Yan cross sections up to next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic accuracy combined with the fixed-order results at next-to-next-to-leading order ($\mathcal{O}(\alpha_{\mathrm{S}}^2)$), including the full kinematical dependence of the decaying lepton pair with the corresponding spin correlations and the finite-width effects. The DYTurbo program is an improved reimplementation of the DYqT, DYqT and DYNNLO programs, which provides fast and numerically precise predictions through the factorisation of the cross section into production and decay variables, and the usage of quadrature rules based on interpolating functions for the integration over kinematic variables.

description: The radiative transport equation accurately describes light transport in participating media such as biological tissues, though analytic solutions are known only for simple geometries. We present a pseudospectral technique to efficiently compute numerical solutions to the time-dependent transport equation in arbitrary three-dimensional heterogeneous media with anisotropic scattering. Our GPU-accelerated implementation of the technique is validated by comparison with a Monte-Carlo simulation, demonstrating excellent agreement.

description: We present results on the nucleon axial, scalar and tensor charges computed within lattice Quantum Chromodynamics. We use three ensembles of gauge configurations generated with physical values of the pion mass to compute these quantities to high accuracy avoiding the need of uncontrolled chiral extrapolations. We determine the values for the axial, scalar and tensor charges for each quark flavor. We include all contributions from valence and sea quarks by using improved methods to compute the disconnected quark loops. For the nucleon axial charge we find $g_A= 1.286(23)$ in agreement with the experimental value. In addition, we extract the nucleon $\sigma$-terms and find $\sigma_{\pi N}=41.6(3.8)$ MeV as well as the strangeness content of the nucleon obtaining for the y-parameter $y =0.0740(59)$.
The importance of strange mesons in neutron star properties

description: In order to obtain the properties of compact stellar objects, appropriate equations of state have to be used. In the literature, strange meson fields, namely the scalar meson field $σ^*(975)$ and the vector meson field $ϕ(1020)$, had to be considered in order to reproduce the observed strongly attractive $ΛΛ$ interaction. The introduction of these strange mesons makes the equations of state harder (EOS) due to the repulsive effect of the $ϕ(1020)$ meson. In this work the inclusion of these mesons in the equation of state and their influence on the properties of the neutron stars are investigated.

description: Colocalization is a powerful tool to study the interactions between fluorescently labeled molecules in biological fluorescence microscopy. However, existing techniques for colocalization analysis have not undergone continued development especially in regards to robust statistical support. In this paper, we examine two of the most popular quantification techniques for colocalization and argue that they could be improved upon using ideas from nonparametric statistics and scan statistics. In particular, we propose a new colocalization metric that is robust, easily implementable, and optimal in a rigorous statistical testing framework. Application to several benchmark datasets, as well as biological examples, further demonstrates the usefulness of the proposed technique.

description: Alternative building material wood? This contribution demonstrates studies concerning the potential of buildings with wood. The question arises, is wood an alternative as a building material for use in timber construction? Buildings with wood are unique by balancing their negative carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions (see potentials Chapter 2.1.1). The buildings with wood are the directions of the future (DGNB 2021) and a real change in the building sector by mitigation of the global warming potential (CO2 Equivalents). But there are provisions under building law for example fire protection requirements as well as statical calculations in comparison to the solid buildings. The constructed space produces a CO2-Emission of 75% by the Cities (United Nations 2019) and share in a significant portion due to the climate Change. In Germany there is a contingent of 30% CO2 produced by the building sector (BBSR 2020). Therefore, all measures concerning Climate Engineering and their implementations in the building and construction sector aiming for sustainable projects are fighting against the forces of Climate Change. Beside the importance of the forest in sense of a climate sink the social cultural component of the sustainability concerning the background of urgently needed living space in solid constructions (steel, reinforced concrete, brickwork) is of high preference. In expert discussions wood plays a focal point in the sense of an alternative building material. But this should be highlighted in the framework of a comparative Life Cycle to find out if there is an alternative to the conventional building and construction material. The alternative design and building techniques should be proved against the conventional solid construction. Because of the operational demands in land-use areas and building zones concerning new and existing buildings there should be a solu­­­tion by a wooden construction to heighten the building (qualified by a load bearing of the foundation).

Testing the State and Trait Accuracy Model: How Domain of Focus Influences Accuracy (Study 4)

description: This is the fourth study in a 4-study sequence. This study will examine how the domain of focus (e.g., affective states or personality traits) influences accuracy. The prediction is that judges who focus on affect will achieve higher accuracy for traits than judges who focus on traits. This is consistent with STAM, but counterintuitive because it is natural to think that focusing on traits would result in more accurate trait judgments, and therefore this is a strong test of the State and Trait Accuracy Model. The rationale is that focusing on affect will lead to more accurate affect judgments than focusing on traits, and these more accurate affect judgments will lead to more accurate trait judgments. However, judges who focus on traits will not attend as much to affect, and therefore affect accuracy will be lower than when judges focus on affect, and in turn trait accuracy will also be lower. A control condition, in which judges focus on physical appearance, will be used for comparison with judges who are not instructed to focus on affect or traits, as focusing on affect or traits is likely to increase accuracy in both domains. To enhance the strength of the manipulation, each session will start with a habit formation task in which judges will watch five 30-sec video clips and rate only the domain on which they are instructed to focus, and judges will be informed that they will be tested for their memory on this domain in order to increase the probability of participants following these instructions. Judges will be instructed to continue to focus on the given domain while observing 4-min clips of seven targets and rating affect and then traits, or traits and then affect. Order of ratings will be counterbalanced to deal with order effects.

A Central Engine for Cosmic Gamma-Ray Burst Sources

description: One of a family previously proposed ``central engines'' for cosmic gamma-ray burst sources (Kluźniak & Ruderman 1998) is considered in some detail. A steadily accreting $10^6$ Gauss magnetic white dwarf should ultimately collapse to a strongly differentially rotating, millisecond-rotation-period neutron star for a wide range of steady accretion rates and initial masses if the accreting white dwarf has an evolved O-Ne-Mg composition. A similar neutron star could also result from an initial C-O white dwarf but only for more constrained accretion rates. Because the collapsing white dwarf begins as a $γ=4/3$ polytrope, the final neutron star's spin-rate increases strongly with cylindrical radius. A stable wind-up of the neutron star's poloidal magnetic field then produces buoyant magnetic toroids which grow, break loose, rise, and partly penetrate the neutron star surface to form a transient, $B\approx 10^{17}$ G millisecond spin-period pulsar with a powerful pulsar wind (Usov 1992). This pulsar wind emission is then rapidly suppressed by the surface shear motion from the strong stellar differential rotation. This wind-up and transient pulsar formation can occur at other times on different cylinders and/or repeat on the same one, with (re-)wind up and surface penetration time scales hugely longer han the neutron star's millisecond spin period. In this way, differential rotation both opens and closes the doors which allow neutron star spin-energy to be emitted in powerful bursts of pulsar wind. Predictions of this model compare favorably to needed central engine properties of gamma-ray burst sources (total energy, duration, sub-burst fluctuations and time scales, variability among burst events, and baryon loading).

NGS Based Haplotype Assembly Using Matrix Completion
Creators: name: Majidian, Sina

Subjects: subject: Genomics (q-bio.GN)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: We apply matrix completion methods for haplotype assembly from NGS reads to develop the new HapSVT, HapNuc, and HapOPT algorithms. This is performed by applying a mathematical model to convert the reads to an incomplete matrix and estimating unknown components. This process is followed by quantizing and decoding the completed matrix in order to estimate haplotypes. These algorithms are compared to the state-of-the-art algorithms using simulated data as well as the real fosmid data. It is shown that the SNP missing rate and the haplotype block length of the proposed HapOPT are better than those of HapCUT2 with comparable accuracy in terms of reconstruction rate and switch error rate. A program implementing the proposed algorithms in MATLAB is freely available at https://github.com/smajidian/HapMC.
Art or Forgery? The Strange Case of Han Van Meegeren

description: The appreciation or historical study of visual art depends crucially on assumptions or claims that given art works can be attributed to given artists in given periods; both the appreciation and history of art presuppose a methodology of attribution and a theory of evidence; and these are open to philosophic question and analysis. Apparently straighforward, deceptively prosaic empirical questions of attribution (By whom was a given work created and when? ) are themselves often influenced by judgments of aesthetic value (as when features reflecting the artistry or artfulness of a work are themselves taken as evidence for attributing the work to a given master). Philosophy begins in wonder, and our wonder about What is art? o r why we value it, wonder about what makes any artifact a work of art, wonder about the source and nature of aesthetic value is best catalyzed when our assumptions about the attribution of a presumed art work are cast in doubt or violated. For this reason, the study of forgery and issues of artistic attribution is a powerful motivation to philosophic wonder and aesthetic inquiry. Of all the realms of arguable human values, aesthetics perhaps purports the most mystifying questions. Aesthetic inquiry can therefore provide paradigmatic insights into very generic issues of human valuing and inquiry. But the student requires special means, motive, and opportunity for the study.
L’asteroide 2024 PT5 è un frammento di Luna

Le analisi spettroscopiche dell'asteroide 2024 PT5 hanno mostrato che, molto probabilmente, è nato in seguito alla violenta collisione di un asteroide con la Luna che ne ha scagliato pezzi di crosta nello spazio. Con 2024 PT5 siamo già al secondo frammento noto di superficie lunare e si sospetta la presenza di una nuova popolazione di piccoli asteroidi near-Earth con la stessa origine.

description: Video streams usually have to be transcoded to match the characteristics of viewers' devices. Streaming providers have to store numerous transcoded versions of a given video to serve various display devices. Given the fact that viewers' access pattern to video streams follows a long tail distribution, for the video streams with low access rate, we propose to transcode them in an on-demand manner using cloud computing services. The challenge in utilizing cloud services for on-demand video transcoding is to maintain a robust QoS for viewers and cost-efficiency for streaming service providers. To address this challenge, we present the Cloud-based Video Streaming Services (CVS2) architecture. It includes a QoS-aware scheduling that maps transcoding tasks to the VMs by considering the affinity of the transcoding tasks with the allocated heterogeneous VMs. To maintain robustness in the presence of varying streaming requests, the architecture includes a cost-efficient VM Provisioner. This component provides a self- configurable cluster of heterogeneous VMs. The cluster is reconfigured dynamically to maintain the maximum affinity with the arriving workload. Results obtained under diverse workload conditions demonstrate that CVS2 architecture can maintain a robust QoS for viewers while reducing the incurred cost of the streaming service provider up to 85%

Entanglement Entropy of $AdS_5 \times S^5$ with massless flavors at non-zero temperature

description: We consider backreacted $AdS_5 \times S^5$ coupled with $N_f$ massless flavors introduced by D7-branes at non-zero temperature. The backreacted geometry is in the Veneziano limit. The temperature of this system is related to the event horizon at $r_h$. Dividing one of the spatial directions into a line segment with length $l$, we will calculate the entanglement entropy between the two subspaces. We study the behavior near the event horizon, and finally find that there exists phase transition phenomenon near the event horizon since the difference between the entanglement entropy of the connected minimal surface and the disconnected one changes sign.
Argument Diagramming and Critical Thinking in Introductory Philosophy

description: In a multi-study naturalistic quasi-experiment involving 269 students in a semester-long introductory philosophy course, we investigated the effect of teaching argument diagramming (AD) on students’ scores on argument analysis tasks. An argument diagram is a visual representation of the content and structure of an argument. In each study, all of the students completed pre- and posttests containing argument analysis tasks. During the semester, the treatment group was taught AD, while the control group was not. The results were that among the different pretest achievement levels, the scores of low-achieving students who were taught AD increased significantly more than the scores of low-achieving students who were not taught AD, while the scores of the intermediate- and high-achieving students did not differ significantly between the treatment and control groups. The implication of these studies is that learning AD significantly improves low-achieving students’ ability to analyze arguments.
