description: Environmental changes greatly influence the evolution of populations. Here, we study the dynamics of a population of two strains, one growing slightly faster than the other, competing for resources in a time-varying binary environment modeled by a carrying capacity switching either randomly or periodically between states of abundance and scarcity. The population dynamics is characterized by demographic noise (birth and death events) coupled to a varying environment. We elucidate the similarities and differences of the evolution subject to a stochastically- and periodically-varying environment. Importantly, the population size distribution is generally found to be broader under intermediate and fast random switching than under periodic variations, which results in markedly different asymptotic behaviors between the fixation probability of random and periodic switching. We also determine the detailed conditions under which the fixation probability of the slow strain is maximal.

description: The Tsallis entropy is shown to be an additive entropy of degree-q that information scientists have been using for almost forty years. Neither is it a unique solution to the nonadditive functional equation from which random entropies are derived. Notions of additivity, extensivity and homogeneity are clarified. The relation between mean code lengths in coding theory and various expressions for average entropies is discussed.

description: Effect of canopy position on rind biochemical properties of ‘Marsh’ grapefruit during postharvest non-chilling cold storage was evaluated on fruit harvested from different orchard locations. Inside canopy (IC) and outside canopy (OC) fruits were harvested at commercial maturity from two commercial farms located at KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and Limpopo (LMP), South Africa, during two seasons. Rind biochemical analyses including color indices, total phenolic concentration, and sugars were performed on harvested grapefruit after Weeks 0, 3, 6, and 9 of cold storage at 7.5 ± 0.5°C. Canopy position showed a high significant (p < .001) effect on rind biochemicals while significant (p < .05) influence of orchard locations was observed on the same parameters. Reducing sugars were more concentrated in IC fruit harvested from both orchard location than OC fruit at Weeks 0 and 3, but inverse results occurred at Weeks 6 and 9. Orchard location significantly (p < .001) influenced vitamin C (14.4, 14.2, 14.4, 14.8 g kg−1) and (12.3, 16.1, 15.9, 14.6 g kg−1) of fruit rind at Weeks 0, 3, 6, and 9 from KZN and LMP, respectively. This study revealed that canopy position can influence rind biochemical properties of ‘Marsh’ grapefruit during non-chilling postharvest cold storage. However, further studies are required to formulate and provide the citrus industries with adequate advice.

description: We investigate the role of dense Mpc-scale environments in processing molecular gas of cluster galaxies as they fall into the cluster cores. We consider $\sim20$ luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs) in intermediate-$z$ clusters, from the Hershel Lensing Survey and the Local Cluster Substructure Survey. They include MACS J0717.5+3745 at $z=0.546$ and Abell 697, 963, 1763, and 2219 at $z=0.2-0.3$. We have performed far infrared to ultraviolet spectral energy distribution modeling of the LIRGs, which span cluster-centric distances within $r/r_{200}\simeq0.2-1.6$. We have observed the LIRGs in CO(1$\rightarrow$0) or CO(2$\rightarrow$1) with the Plateau de Bure interferometer and its successor NOEMA, as part of five observational programs carried out between 2012 and 2017. We have compared the molecular gas to stellar mass ratio $M(H_2)/M_\star$, star formation rate (SFR), and depletion time ($τ_{\rm dep}$) of the LIRGs with those of a compilation of cluster and field star forming galaxies. The targeted LIRGs have SFR, $M(H_2)/M_\star$, and $τ_{\rm dep}$ that are consistent with those of both main sequence (MS) field galaxies and star forming galaxies from the comparison sample. However we find that the depletion time, normalized to the MS value, increases with increasing $r/r_{200}$, with a significance of $2.8σ$, which is ultimately due to a deficit of cluster core LIRGs with $τ_{\rm dep}\gtrsimτ_{\rm dep,MS}$. We suggest that a rapid exhaustion of the molecular gas reservoirs occurs in the cluster LIRGs and is effective in suppressing their star formation. This mechanism may explain the exponential decrease of the fraction of cluster LIRGs with cosmic time. The compression of the gas in LIRGs, possibly induced by intra-cluster medium shocks, may be responsible for the short depletion timescales, observed in a large fraction of cluster core LIRGs.

Flavor and Little Higgs

description: We discuss the proper starting point to look into flavor physics under the perspective of solving the hierarchy problem with the little Higgs mechanism -- the construction of anomaly free fermionic spectra of the effective theory of extended electroweak gauge symmetry around the TeV scale. Anomaly cancellations among the three SM families, plus extra fermions, are typically needed, giving family non-universal flavor structures. Such a completed and consistent fermionic spectrum supplements a scalar sector little Higgs model, turning the latter into a realistic model the phenomenological viability of which can then be investigated. The implications for flavor physics are specially interesting. We give more elaborated discussion here on our basic perspective, trying to clarify on issues that are in our opinion under-appreciated. We also add a brief comment of little Higgs versus supersymmetry.

description: Statistical (machine learning) tools for equation discovery require large amounts of data that are typically computer generated rather than experimentally observed. Multiscale modeling and stochastic simulations are two areas where learning on simulated data can lead to such discovery. In both, the data are generated with a reliable but impractical model, e.g., molecular dynamics simulations, while a model on the scale of interest is uncertain, requiring phenomenological constitutive relations and ad-hoc approximations. We replace the human discovery of such models, which typically involves spatial/stochastic averaging or coarse-graining, with a machine-learning strategy based on sparse regression that can be executed in two modes. The first, direct equation-learning, discovers a differential operator from the whole dictionary. The second, constrained equation-learning, discovers only those terms in the differential operator that need to be discovered, i.e., learns closure approximations. We illustrate our approach by learning a deterministic equation that governs the spatiotemporal evolution of the probability density function of a system state whose dynamics are described by a nonlinear partial differential equation with random inputs. A series of examples demonstrates the accuracy, robustness, and limitations of our approach to equation discovery.

description: We investigate solutions to the flavour anomalies in $B$ decays based on loop diagrams of a "split" dark sector characterised by the simultaneous presence of heavy particles at the TeV scale and light particles around and below the $B$-meson mass scale. We show that viable parameter space exists for solutions based on penguin diagrams with a vector mediator, while minimal constructions relying on box diagrams are in strong tension with the constraints from the LHC, LEP, and the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In particular, we highlight a regime where the mediator lies close to the $B$-meson mass, naturally realising a resonance structure and a $q^2$-dependent effective coupling. We perform a full fit to the relevant flavour observables and analyse the constraints from intensity frontier experiments. Besides new measurements of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, we find that decays of the $B$ meson, $B_s$-mixing, missing energy searches at Belle-II, and LHC searches for top/bottom partners can robustly test these scenarios in the near future.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a detailed study of the low-lying collective excitations of a spherically trapped Bose-Fermi mixture at finite temperature in the collisionless regime. The excitation frequencies of the condensate are calculated self-consistently using the static Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov theory within the Popov approximation. The frequency shifts and damping rates due to the coupled dynamics of the condensate, noncondensate, and degenerate Fermi gas are also taken into account by means of the random phase approximation and linear response theory. In our treatment, the dipole excitation remains close to the bare trapping frequency for all temperatures considered, and thus is consistent with the generalized Kohn theorem. We discuss in some detail the behavior of monopole and quadrupole excitations as a function of the Bose-Fermi coupling. At nonzero temperatures we find that, as the mixture moves towards spatial separation with increasing Bose-Fermi coupling, the damping rate of the monopole (quadrupole) excitation increases (decreases). This provides us a useful signature to identify the phase transition of spatial separation.

description: Objective: Approximately 5 million patients are admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) annually in the United States, with 500,000 of these patients dying per year during their admission. We aim to provide unadjusted rates of complications and mortality in a cohort of surgical ICU patients and to compare outcomes between a large, urban, academic referral center and community hospitals using a risk-adjusted model. Methods: We constructed a retrospective cohort of patients who underwent general surgery procedures and stayed in the surgical ICUs at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH), Central DuPage Hospital (CDH), and Lake Forest Hospital (LFH) from March 2018-April 2021. Patients at the latter suburban community hospital sites were grouped.  Patients treated at NMH versus CDH and LFH were compared using univariate analyses of complications and mortality and multivariable analyses adjusted for patient clinical and sociodemographic characteristics. Results: Univariate analysis demonstrated that an ICU stay at NMH was associated with higher rates of hyperglycemia (45.8% vs. 30.7%, p <0.001), malnutrition (33.3% vs. 20.5%, p<0.001), and wound infections (8.9% vs 4.9%, p = 0.03), but lower mortality rates (4.7% vs 8.8%, p = 0.006). BMI, ASA score, surgery type, and having subsequent procedures were the characteristics most commonly associated with adverse events. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that hospital site was not significantly associated with long length of stay (OR = 1.1 [0.60-2.03]) but being treated at CDH/LFH was associated with higher mortality (OR = 2.34 [1.16-4.73]). Discussion: These data provide baseline rates of adverse outcomes in a large cohort of surgical ICU patients, and show that mortality, but not length of stay, may differ between the surgical ICUs studied. Our results provide a foundation for future study of surgical ICU outcomes within the Northwestern Healthcare network and may be hypothesis-generating for additional research within this population.

description: The search for fractionalization in quantum spin liquids largely relies on their decoupling with the environment. However, the spin-lattice interaction is inevitable in a real setting. While the Majorana fermion evades a strong decay due to the gradient form of spin-lattice coupling, the study of the phonon dynamics may serve as an indirect probe of fractionalization of spin degrees of freedom. Here we propose that the signatures of fractionalization can be seen in the sound attenuation and the Hall viscosity. Despite the fact that both quantities can be related to the imaginary part of the phonon self-energy, their origins are quite different, and the time-reversal symmetry breaking is required for the Hall viscosity. First, we compute the sound attenuation due to a phonon scattering off of a pair of Majorana fermions and show that it is linear in temperature ($\sim T$). We argue that it has a particular angular dependence providing the information about the spin-lattice coupling and the low-energy Majorana fermion spectrum. The observable effects in the absence of time-reversal symmetry are then analyzed. We obtain the phonon Hall viscosity term from the microscopic Hamiltonian with time-reversal symmetry breaking term. Importantly, the Hall viscosity term mixes the longitudinal and transverse phonon modes and renormalize the spectrum in a unique way, which may be probed in spectroscopy measurement.

description: The search for spectroscopic biosignatures with the next-generation of space telescopes could provide observational constraints on the abundance of exoplanets with signs of life. An extension of this spectroscopic characterization of exoplanets is the search for observational evidence of technology, known as technosignatures. Current mission concepts that would observe biosignatures from ultraviolet to near-infrared wavelengths could place upper limits on the fraction of planets in the galaxy that host life, although such missions tend to have relatively limited capabilities of constraining the prevalence of technosignatures at mid-infrared wavelengths. Yet searching for technosignatures alongside biosignatures would provide important knowledge about the future of our civilization. If planets with technosignatures are abundant, then we can increase our confidence that the hardest step in planetary evolution--the Great Filter--is probably in our past. But if we find that life is commonplace while technosignatures are absent, then this would increase the likelihood that the Great Filter awaits to challenge us in the future.

description: We study the topological properties of Bose-Mott insulators in one-dimensional non-Hermitian superlattices, which may serve as effective Hamiltonians for cold atomic optical systems with either two-body loss or one-body loss. We find that in the strongly repulsive limit, the Mott insulator states of the Bose-Hubbard model with a finite two-body loss under integer fillings are topological insulators characterized by a finite charge gap, nonzero integer Chern numbers, and nontrivial edge modes in a low-energy excitation spectrum under an open boundary condition. The two-body loss suppressed by the strong repulsion results in a stable topological Bose-Mott insulator which has shares features similar to the Hermitian case. However, for the non-Hermitian model related to the one-body loss, we find the non-Hermitian topological Mott insulators are unstable with a finite imaginary excitation gap. Finally, we also discuss the stability of the Mott phase in the presence of two-body loss by solving the Lindblad master equation.

description: We present an optically selected galaxy cluster catalog from ~ 2,700 square degrees of the Digitized Second Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (DPOSS), spanning the redshift range 0.1 < z < 0.5, providing an intermediate redshift supplement to the previous DPOSS cluster survey. This new catalog contains 9,956 cluster candidates and is the largest resource of rich clusters in this redshift range to date. The candidates are detected using the best DPOSS plates based on seeing and limiting magnitude. The search is further restricted to high galactic latitude (|b| > 50), where stellar contamination is modest and nearly uniform. We also present a performance comparison of two different detection methods applied to this data, the Adaptive Kernel and Voronoi Tessellation techniques. In the regime where both catalogs are expected to be complete, we find excellent agreement, as well as with the most recent surveys in the literature. Extensive simulations are performed and applied to the two different methods, indicating a contamination rate of ~ 5%. These simulations are also used to optimize the algorithms and evaluate the selection function for the final cluster catalog. Redshift and richness estimates are also provided, making possible the selection of subsamples for future studies.

description: Spectral filtering of resonance fluorescence is widely employed to improve single photon purity and indistinguishability by removing unwanted backgrounds. For filter bandwidths approaching the emitter linewidth, complex behaviour is predicted due to preferential transmission of components with differing photon statistics. We probe this regime using a Purcell-enhanced quantum dot in both weak and strong excitation limits, finding excellent agreement with an extended sensor theory model. By changing only the filter width, the photon statistics can be transformed between antibunched, bunched, or Poissonian. Our results verify that strong antibunching and a sub-natural linewidth cannot simultaneously be observed, providing new insight into the nature of coherent scattering.

Subjects: subject: 330 Wirtschaft

description: Although pilot projects are an accepted means of entry into prospects, research on the object of startups selling SaaS and use pilots to enter and to further scale within their prospect’s organization is limited. The reader can expect a collection of key practices of SaaS startups in the field of Decision Support Software. These combine the main sales-oriented elements within pilot projects that are reflected on by Customer Success Management, Change Management as well as cultural dimensions. Explorative interviews, mainly with stakeholders in Decision Support Software startups, were conducted to further gain an understanding of the research object. Results indicate that pilots are strategically used in the sales of such startups to simultaneously deal with their customer’s uncertainties and as a means for the startups to get commitment and increase their value proposition through the additional service that they offer in order to acquire an internal support basis. Customer Success Management as well as Change Management are furthermore advantageous in quickly achieving measurable results that leverage buyers and seller’s justification for further sales.
description: Obwohl Pilotprojekte ein anerkanntes Mittel für den Einstieg bei potenziellen Kunden sind, ist die bisherige Forschung zu Startups, die diese Projekte dazu nutzen, um einen Einstieg und Wachstum in der Organisation des Kunden zu erlangen, begrenzt. Der Leser kann hierbei eine Sammlung von Schlüsselpraktiken von SaaS-Startups im Bereich der entscheidungsunterstützenden Software erwarten. Diese vereinen vertriebsorientierte Elemente innerhalb von Pilotprojekten, die durch Customer Success Management, Change Management sowie kulturelle Dimensionen reflektiert werden. Explorative Interviews, hauptsächlich mit Beteiligten aus entscheidungsunterstützenden Software-Startups, wurden durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass Piloten im Vertrieb solcher Startups strategisch eingesetzt werden, um gleichzeitig mit den Unsicherheiten ihrer Kunden umzugehen und um ein erstes Engagement zu erhalten. Sie erhöhen ihr Wertversprechen durch den zusätzlichen Service, den sie anbieten, um eine interne Unterstützerbasis zu erlangen. Customer Success Management sowie Change Management sind darüber hinaus vorteilhaft, um hierbei schnell messbare Ergebnisse zu erzielen und Käufer und Verkäufer bei der Rechtfertigung weiterer Skalierung beim Kunde unterstützen.

description: We propose a reversible mechanism for switching Heisenberg-type exchange interactions between deposited transition metal adatoms from ferromagnetic to antiferromagnetic. Using first-principles calculations, we show that this mechanism can be realized for cobalt atoms on the surface of black phosphorus by making use of electrically-controlled orbital repopulation, as recently demonstrated by scanning probe techniques [Nat. Commun. 9, 3904 (2018)]. We find that field-induced repopulation not only affects the spin state, but also causes considerable modification of exchange interaction between adatoms, including its sign. Our model analysis demonstrates that variable adatom-substrate hybridization is a key factor responsible for this modification. We perform quantum simulations of inelastic tunneling characteristics and discuss possible ways to verify the proposed mechanism experimentally.

description: We explore the different possibilities for branons as dark matter candidates. We consider a general brane-world model, parametrized by the number of extra dimensions $N$, the fundamental scale of gravity $M_D$, the brane tension scale $f$ and the branon mass $M$. We analyse the parameter region in which branons behave as collisionless thermal relics (WIMPs), either cold or hot (warm) together with less standard scenarios in which they are strongly self interacting or produced non-thermally.

description: Der mit dem Schlagwort Industrie 4.0 verbundene Begriff der Digitalisierung ist eine Herausforderung, der sich Unternehmen aktuell konfrontiert sehen. Allgemein betrachtet verschwimmt mit steigender Digitalisierung in Unternehmen die Abgrenzung zwischen wertschöpfenden und unterstützenden Prozessen. Die Industrie 4.0 verspricht dabei eine vernetzte Zukunft mit neuen Technologien und neuen Geschäftsmodellen. In der Forschung gibt es bisher nur sehr begrenzte Ansätze im Bereich der Industrie 4.0, welche direkt auf die Bauindustrie bzw. ein einzelnes Bauunternehmen ausgerichtet sind. Die Masterarbeit soll dazu die Beantwortung folgender Fragestellung zum Thema haben: „Wie kann ein Referenzmodell zur reifegradbasierten Ermittlung des Digitalisierungsgrads in einem Unternehmen in der Bauindustrie aufgebaut sein?“ Zur Bearbeitung wird dabei der Ansatzpunkt gezählt, wie die Digitalisierung in der Industrie 4.0 im Kontext mit bisherigen Entwicklungen einzuordnen ist. Dabei wird den Fragestellungen nachgegangen, welche Reifegradmodelle bereits existieren und wie diese auf die Digitalisierung in der Industrie 4.0 adaptiert werden können. Daraus ergibt sich die nachgehende Fragestellung, wie ein Reifegradmodell zur Bewertung des Umsetzungsgrads in der Industrie 4.0 in einem Unternehmen der Bauindustrie aufgebaut sein kann. Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, ein kombiniertes Reifegradmodell zur entwickeln, welches auf ein Unternehmen in der Bauindustrie anwendbar ist. Damit soll eine Möglichkeit geschaffen werden, die Umsetzungsreife des Unternehmens im Bereich der Industrie 4.0 zu bewerten. Das entwickelte Modell soll dazu in der Lage sein, dem Unternehmen einen fundierten Überblick zu verschaffen, wie weit der Umsetzungsgrad fortgeschritten ist. Auch soll es dem Unternehmen aufzeigen, in welchen Bereichen es Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten gibt. Das Reifegradmodell soll außerdem in der Lage sein, sich auf Änderungen in der Unternehmensstrategie, Weiterentwicklung in der Technologie sowie veränderten Anforderungen in der Bauindustrie anpassen zu können.
Charged black holes in Einsteinian cubic gravity and nonuniqueness

description: Black holes are the simplest objects in the universe. They correspond to extreme deformations of spacetime geometry, and can exist even devoid of matter. In general relativity, (electro)vacuum black holes are uniquely determined by their mass, charge and angular momentum. This feature follows from a uniqueness theorem, which can be evaded if one considers higher dimensions or matter fields coupled to gravity. Here we find that Einsteinian cubic gravity, a well-motivated modification of Einstein gravity that includes third-order curvature corrections in accordance with low-energy effective theory expectations, admits black hole solutions with charge greater than mass, when minimally coupled to a Maxwell field. Moreover, we find that, in this regime, there can be two asymptotically flat black holes with the same charge and mass, posing the first example of vacuum black hole nonuniqueness in four dimensions that is free from pathologies. Examination of these black hole's thermodynamics reveals that when two branches coexist only the larger black hole is thermodynamically stable, while the smaller branch has negative specific heat. Einsteinian cubic gravity unveils two further surprising features. The charged black holes do not possess an inner horizon, in contrast with the usual Reissner-Nordström spacetime, thus avoiding the need to resort to strong cosmic censorship to uphold determinism. In addition to black holes, there exists a one-parameter family of naked singularity spacetimes sharing the same mass and charge as the former, but not continuously connected with them. These naked singularities exist in the under-extremal regime, being present even in pure (uncharged) Einsteinian cubic gravity.
