description: Chiral active matter comprises particles which can self-propel and self-rotate. Examples range from sperm cells and bacteria near walls to asymmetric colloids and pea-shaped Quincke rollers. In this perspective article we focus on recent developments in chiral active matter. After briefly discussing chiral active motion at a single particle level, we discuss collective phenomena ranging from vortex arrays and patterns made of rotating micro-flocks to states featuring unusual rheological properties.

The European Pond Terrapin was first reported on Lefkada by De Betta (1868: 892). Lehrs (1912: 449) found it “at several places”. Fritz (1992: 75) examined two old museum specimens. Unexpectedly, recent records are missing both in literature and on the web. We observed at least 15 basking individuals along a stretch of the Maranthochori lake shore (17/5/2019; Fig. 2C) and two individuals in a small channel north of Vasiliki (25/5/2019).

description: Machine Learning (ML) techniques are encountered nowadays across disciplines, from social sciences, through natural sciences to engineering. However, teaching ML is a daunting task. Aside from the methodological complexity of ML algorithms, both with respect to theory and implementation, the interdisciplinary and empirical nature of the field need to be taken into consideration. This paper introduces the MachineLearnAthon format, an innovative didactic concept designed to be inclusive for students of different disciplines with heterogeneous levels of mathematics, programming, and domain expertise. The format is grounded in a systematic literature review and the didactic principles action orientation, constructivism, and problem orientation. At the heart of the concept lie ML challenges, which make use of industrial data sets to solve real-world problems. Micro-lectures enable students to learn about ML concepts and algorithms, and associated risks. They cover the entire ML pipeline, promoting data literacy and practical skills, from data preparation, through deployment, to evaluation.

description: We investigate magnetic excitations in half-doped colossal magnetoresistance manganites. In particular, we focus on spin excitations in the CE phase originally proposed by Goodenough (Phys. Rev. 100, 564 (1955)). Using a localized spin model we calculated magnons for 3D-perovskite compounds such as La$_{1-x}$M$_x$MnO$_3$, where M=Ca,Sr,Ba, and for their 2D-laminar counterparts. We compared them with predictions for the spin excitations corresponding to other phases proposed. For the laminar half-doped manganite La$_{0.5}$Sr$_{1.5}$MnO$_4$, for which magnon measurements by inelastic neutron scattering exist, as well as an estimation of the magnetic couplings, our calculations agree well with the experimental data.

title:  Life Cycle Assessment Using Argonne GREET Model of Algae Based Biofuels Produced Using Flash Hydrolysis Process
Creators: name: Bessette, Andrew P.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: Traditional processing methods of algae to biofuels require dewatering after harvesting of the algae before the lipids can be extracted. This is typically the most energy intensive and therefore the most expensive step. Old Dominion University has successfully utilized a flash hydrolysis process where proteins are solubilized into the liquid phase of product and the remainder lipid-rich, low nitrogen product is separated into a solid phase. The solid phase (lipid-rich) is then an ideal candidate for biofuel feedstock and the liquid phase, or hydrolysate, can be used for coproducts such as a source of nutrients for new batches of algal cultivation or fertilizer production. Argonne National Laboratory's GREET model was used to quantify the life cycle cost assessment from well to wheels production of biodiesel from transesterification of algae oil, renewable gasoline production from catalytic cracking of algae oil, and renewable diesel II production from hydrogenation of algae oil, all of which utilized the flash hydrolysis process in the production of the algae oil. Results were compared with Argonne National Laboratory's existing model simulations from their Algae Harmonization Study and Algae Hydrothermal Liquefaction Study and also with existing conventional petroleum based reformulated gasoline and conventional petroleum based low-sulfur diesel LCAs. The GREET model was used to evaluate total energy use, fossil fuel use, natural gas use, and petroleum use. In addition, the model evaluated emissions of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gases in the total life cycle of the fuels. The five life-cycle stages modeled with the software included feedstock cultivation, feedstock transport, biofuel production, biofuel transport, and biofuel end use in vehicles. Results showed that the flash hydrolysis process model performed the best when estimating total energy use and the HTL model performed the best in regards to greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, a sensitivity analysis was conducted on the effect of changes in slurry concentration in the flash hydrolysis reactor and found that increasing slurry algae concentration from 15% to 20% and finally to 25% did reduce the total energy requirement for the reactor but only by 6.2% for renewable diesel II and 6.7% for renewable gasoline.

description: We propose the boost asymmetry of the diboson productions in pp collisions as a new experimental observable, which can provide unique information on the proton structure. The boost asymmetry rises as the difference in the kinematics of the two bosons, that are coupled to the two different quark and antiquark initial states, respectively, and thus reflects different features of the quark and antiquark parton densities. By comparing the kinematics of the two bosons, such as the boson energy or rapidity, the diboson events with antiquark having higher energy than quark can be distinguished from those with quark having higher energy than antiquark. This would provide unique information in some special parton momentum fraction regions, which cannot be directly proved by current W and Z measurements at the Large Hadron Collider or other deep inelastic scattering experients.

description: We developed a theory of electron scattering by a short-range repulsive potential in a cavity. In the regime of ultrastrong electron coupling to the cavity electromagnetic field, the vacuum fluctuations of the field result in the dynamical stabilization of a quasistationary polariton state confined in the core of the repulsive potential. When the energy of a free electron coincides with the energy of the confined state, the extremely efficient resonant nonelastic scattering of the electron accompanied by emission of a cavity photon appears. This effect is discussed as a basis for possible free-electron sources of nonclassical light.

Partition-based Field Normalization: An approach to highly specialized publication records

Year: 2013

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Field normalized citation rates are well-established indicators for research performance from the broadest aggregation levels such as countries, down to institutes and research teams. When applied to still more specialized publication sets at the level of individual scientists, also a more accurate delimitation is required of the reference domain that provides the expectations to which a performance is compared. This necessity for sharper accuracy challenges standard methodology based on predefined subject categories. This paper proposes a way to define a reference domain that is more strongly delimited than in standard methodology, by building it up out of cells of the partition created by the pre-defined subject categories and their intersections. This partition approach can be applied to different existing field normalization variants. The resulting reference domain lies between those generated by standard field normalization and journal normalization. Examples based on fictive and real publication records illustrate how the potential impact on results can exceed or be smaller than the effect of other currently debated normalization variants, depending on the case studied. The proposed Partition-based Field Normalization is expected to offer advantages in particular at the level of individual scientists and other very specific publication records, such as publication output from interdisciplinary research.

description: Condensin is a structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) complex family member thought to build mitotic chromosomes by DNA loop extrusion. However, condensin variants unable to extrude loops, yet proficient in chromosome formation, were recently described. Here, we explore how condensin might alternatively build chromosomes. Using bulk biochemical and single-molecule experiments with purified fission yeast condensin, we observe that individual condensins sequentially and topologically entrap two double-stranded DNAs (dsDNAs). Condensin loading transitions through a state requiring DNA bending, as proposed for the related cohesin complex. While cohesin then favors the capture of a second single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), second dsDNA capture emerges as a defining feature of condensin. We provide complementary in vivo evidence for DNA-DNA capture in the form of condensin-dependent chromatin contacts within, as well as between, chromosomes. Our results support a "diffusion capture" model in which condensin acts in mitotic chromosome formation by sequential dsDNA-dsDNA capture.
Moiré exciton condensate: nonlinear Dirac point, broken-symmetry Bloch waves and unusual optical selection rules

description: Moiré exciton features tunable Dirac dispersion and spatially dependent optical selection rules. With the long lifetime due to its interlayer nature, it is promising to realize a Bose-Einstein condensation of moiré excitons. Here we study the properties of moiré exciton condensate within the mean-field theory, with special focus on exciton-exciton interaction effect on the nonlinear Bloch band and Bloch waves of exciton condensate in moiré potential. We find the nonlinear dispersion of the moiré exciton condensate exhibits complex loop structure induced by exciton-exciton interaction. A nonlinear Dirac cone emerges at $\boldsymbolΓ$ point of the Bloch band, with a three-fold degenerate nonlinear Dirac point. Each degenerate Bloch wave at nonlinear Dirac point spontaneously breaks $C3$ rotational symmetry of the moiré potential, and themselves differ by $C3$ rotations. Since they reside in the light cone, these nontrivial Bloch band structure and broken-symmetry Bloch waves can be experimentally detected by examining light emission from those states. Symmetry breaking of Bloch states implies unusual optical selection rules compared with single exciton case: moiré exciton condensate at $\boldsymbolΓ$ point emits light with all three components of polarization instead of only left or right circular polarization. We further propose that, by applying in-plane electric field on one layer to drive an initially optically dark exciton condensate towards light cone, the light polarization of final states as well as their dependence on field direction serves as the smoking gun for experimental observation.

description: Quantum many-body nuclear dynamics is treated at the mean-field level with the time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) theory. Low-lying and high-lying nuclear vibrations are studied using the linear response theory. The fusion mechanism is also described for light and heavy systems. The latter exhibit fusion hindrance due to quasi-fission. Typical characteristics of quasi-fission, such as contact time and partial symmetrisation of the fragments mass in the exit channel, are reproduced by TDHF calculations. The (multi-)nucleon transfer at sub-barrier energies is also discussed.

description: There have been previous hints that the transiting planet WASP-3 b is accompanied by a second planet in a nearby orbit, based on small deviations from strict periodicity of the observed transits. Here we present 17 precise radial velocity measurements and 32 transit light curves that were acquired between 2009 and 2011. These data were used to refine the parameters of the host star and transiting planet. This has resulted in reduced uncertainties for the radii and masses of the star and planet. The radial-velocity data and the transit times show no evidence for an additional planet in the system. Therefore, we have determined the upper limit on the mass of any hypothetical second planet, as a function of its orbital period.

Parametric Politics: Exploring Imperial Infrastructures and Systemic Dispositions
Creators: name: Rossiter, Ned
name: Zehle, Soenke
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Parametric politics is a politics of design. In the context of ambient media, a parametric politics for us means identifying, testing and, wherever possible, transforming the rules that delimit how we operate within the machinic arrangements of logistical media apparatuses. Maker movements have embraced the collective ability to appropriate the infrastructures of informatised production; social philosophy has rediscovered craft. The enormous visibility of idioms both of design thinking and making, is in need of explanation rather than simply of affirmation. It is time to not just celebrate such practices as a renaissance of a new critical manualism and reawakening of a political procedurality, but rather to look at the way they reconfigure the idea of participation, of use, of active being in the world beyond anti-political visions of solutionism and social innovation. We propose a practice of machinic making, of a making that acknowledges the centrality of design as an upstream rather than downstream activity, and a practice that explores the growing significance of machinic modes of communication in the mediation of our life and labour.

description: Aims. To derive the thermal inertia of 2008 EV$_5$, the baseline target for the Marco Polo-R mission proposal, and infer information about the size of the particles on its surface. Methods. Values of thermal inertia are obtained by fitting an asteroid thermophysical model to NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) infrared data. From the constrained thermal inertia and a model of heat conductivity that accounts for different values of the packing fraction (a measure of the degree of compaction of the regolith particles), grain size is derived. Results. We obtain an effective diameter $D = 370 \pm 6\,\mathrm{m}$, geometric visible albedo $p_V = 0.13 \pm 0.05$ (assuming $H=20.0 \pm 0.4$), and thermal inertia $Γ= 450 \pm 60$ J/m2/s(1/2)/K at the 1-$σ$ level of significance for its retrograde spin pole solution. The regolith particles radius is $r = 6.6^{+1.3}_{-1.3}$ mm for low degrees of compaction, and $r = 12.5^{+2.7}_{-2.6}$ mm for the highest packing densities.

description: The security of quantum key distribution protocols is guaranteed by the laws of quantum mechanics. However, a precise analysis of the security properties requires tools from both classical cryptography and information theory. Here, we employ recent results in non-asymptotic classical information theory to show that one-way information reconciliation imposes fundamental limitations on the amount of secret key that can be extracted in the finite key regime. In particular, we find that an often used approximation for the information leakage during information reconciliation is not generally valid. We propose an improved approximation that takes into account finite key effects and numerically test it against codes for two probability distributions, that we call binary-binary and binary-Gaussian, that typically appear in quantum key distribution protocols.

description: We study high-energy emission from the mergers of neutron star binaries as electromagnetic counterparts to gravitational waves aside from short gamma-ray bursts. The mergers entail significant mass ejection, which interacts with the surrounding medium to produce similar but brighter remnants than supernova remnants in a few years. We show that electrons accelerated in the remnants can produce synchrotron radiation in X-rays detectable at $\sim 100$ Mpc by current generation telescopes and inverse Compton emission in gamma rays detectable by the \emph{Fermi} Large Area Telescopes and the Cherenkov Telescope Array under favorable conditions. The remnants may have already appeared in high-energy surveys such as the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image and the \emph{Fermi} Large Area Telescope as unidentified sources. We also suggest that the merger remnants could be the origin of ultra-high-energy cosmic rays beyond the knee energy, $\sim 10^{15}$ eV, in the cosmic-ray spectrum.

description: Οι υποτροπιάζουσες αποπτώσεις επιθηλίου του κερατοειδούς είναι μία πάθηση η οποία συσχετίζεται αιφνίδιο άλγος κυρίως κατά την αφύπνιση λόγω επιθηλιακής απόπτωσης. Οι υποτροπιάζουσες επιθηλιακές αποπτώσεις οφείλονται σε μία αποδυνάμωση του συνδέσμου ανάμεσα στο κερατοειδικό επιθήλιο και στην υποκείμενη βασική του μεμβράνη μερικώς λόγω δυσλειτουργίας των ημιδεσμοσωματίων. Μια σειρά παθήσεων όπως πρόσθιες κερατοειδικές δυστροφίες ή οφθαλμικό τραύμα (συμπεριλαμβανομένων των εγκαυμάτων από οξέα και βάσεις και των χειρουργείων) μπορούν να επιδεινώσουν την νόσο. Πλέον υπάρχει πληθώρα μέσων στην διάθεσή μας για την αντιμετώπιση των υποτροπιαζουσών αποπτώσεων του επιθηλίου του κερατοειδούς. Η θεραπευτική προσέγγιση είναι κλιμακωτή με μία αρχική συντηρητική αντιμετώπιση με ενυδατικά σκευάσματα, τοπικά αντιβιοτικά και κυκλοπληγικά , θεραπευτικούς φακούς επαφής και υπέρτονα διαλύματα. Στην συνέχεια μπορούν να δοκιμαστούν πιο εκτεταμένες φαρμακευτικές μέθοδοι θεραπείας όπως από του στόματος αναστολείς των μεταλλοπρωτεϊνασών (όπως οι τετρακυκλίνες), τοπικά κορτικοστεροειδή, παράγωγα αίματος και εφαρμογή μοσχεύματος αμνιακής μεμβράνης. Από την άλλη πλευρα υπάρχει επίσης η επιλογή της χειρουργικής αντιμετώπισης. Στις διαθέσιμες μεθόδους συμπεριλαμβάνονται ο επιθηλιακός καθαρισμός με πιθανή επακόλουθη λείανση της στιβάδας του Bowman με κυλινδρική φρέζα από διαμάντι , η παρακέντηση του προσθίου στρώματος , η αποκόλληση του κερατοειδικού επιθηλίου με την χρήση αλκοόλης και η φωτοθεραπευτική κερατεκτομή.
description: Recurrent Corneal Erosions is a condition associated with abrupt pain mostly upon awakening due to epithelial apoptosis. The recurrent erosions are due to a weakening of the attachment of the corneal epithelium to the underlying basement membrane partially because of malfunction of hemi-desmosomes. A number of diseases such as anterior corneal dystrophies or ocular trauma (including acid and alkali burning and surgery) can aggravate the condition. Thankfully there is a number of modalities available to treat Recurrent Corneal Erosions. The approach to treatment is step based with an initial conservative approach with lubrication, topical antibiotics and cycloplegics, bandage contact lens or hypertonic solutions. Subsequently more advanced medical treatments can be employed such as oral matrix metalloproteinase inhibitors (like tetracyclines), topical corticosteroids, blood-derived drops or amniotic membrane graft application. On the other hand there are is also the choice of surgical treatment. Available methods include epithelial debridement with diamond burr polishing, anterior stromal puncture, alcohol delamination and excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy.

description: Symmetric and antisymmetric structure functions from electromagnetic deep inelastic scattering of charged leptons off spin-1/2 hadrons are investigated in the framework of a top-down holographic dual description. We consider the BPST Pomeron, type IIB superstring theory scattering amplitudes, and type IIB supergravity on AdS$_5 \times S^5$. In all cases it is used the hard-wall prescription. Different kinematic regions of the Bjorken variable $x$, as well as the squared momentum of the virtual photon $Q^2$, are studied in detail for $F_2^P$ and $g_1^P$ structure functions of the proton. Also, the virtual Compton scattering asymmetry of the proton $A_1^P$ is investigated. Comparison with data from several experimental collaborations is presented. In addition, the holographic Pomeron leads to predictions for the mentioned observables for very small $x$ values. In particular, we present predictions for $g_1^P$ at $Q^2$ around 10 GeV$^2$, for data expected to be measured in a future electron-ion collider. Limitations of this holographic dual approach are discussed.

Rocking Subdiffusive Ratchets: Origin, Optimization and Efficiency

description: We study origin, parameter optimization, and thermodynamic efficiency of isothermal rocking ratchets based on fractional subdiffusion within a generalized non-Markovian Langevin equation approach. A corresponding multi-dimensional Markovian embedding dynamics is realized using a set of auxiliary Brownian particles elastically coupled to the central Brownian particle (see video on the journal web site). We show that anomalous subdiffusive transport emerges due to an interplay of nonlinear response and viscoelastic effects for fractional Brownian motion in periodic potentials with broken space-inversion symmetry and driven by a time-periodic field. The anomalous transport becomes optimal for a subthreshold driving when the driving period matches a characteristic time scale of interwell transitions. It can also be optimized by varying temperature, amplitude of periodic potential and driving strength. The useful work done against a load shows a parabolic dependence on the load strength. It grows sublinearly with time and the corresponding thermodynamic efficiency decays algebraically in time because the energy supplied by the driving field scales with time linearly. However, it compares well with the efficiency of normal diffusion rocking ratchets on an appreciably long time scale.

description: While laser-plasma accelerators have demonstrated a strong potential in the acceleration of electrons up to giga-electronvolt energies, few experimental tools for studying the acceleration physics have been developed. In this paper, we demonstrate a method for probing the acceleration process. A second laser beam, propagating perpendicular to the main beam is focused in the gas jet few nanosecond before the main beam creates the accelerating plasma wave. This second beam is intense enough to ionize the gas and form a density depletion which will locally inhibit the acceleration. The position of the density depletion is scanned along the interaction length to probe the electron injection and acceleration, and the betatron X-ray emission. To illustrate the potential of the method, the variation of the injection position with the plasma density is studied.

description: We have carried out an extensive study of the possibility of the detection of Earth-mass and super-Earth Trojan planets using transit timing variation method with the Kepler space telescope. We have considered a system consisting of a transiting Jovian-type planet in a short period orbit, and determined the induced variations in its transit timing due to an Earth-mass/super-Earth Trojan planet. We mapped a large section of the phase space around the 1:1 mean-motion resonance and identified regions corresponding to several other mean-motion resonances where the orbit of the planet would be stable. We calculated TTVs for different values of the mass and orbital elements of the transiting and perturbing bodies as well as the mass of central star, and identified orbital configurations of these objects (ranges of their orbital elements and masses) for which the resulted TTVs would be within the range of the variations of the transit timing of Kepler's planetary candidates. Results of our study indicate that in general, the amplitudes of the TTVs fall within the detectable range of timing precision obtained from the Kepler's long-cadence data, and depending on the parameters of the system, their magnitudes may become as large as a few hours. The probability of detection is higher for super-Earth Trojans with slightly eccentric orbits around short-period Jovian-type planets with masses slightly smaller than Jupiter. We present the details of our study and discuss the implications of its results.

Abstract Numeration Systems on Bounded Languages and Multiplication by a Constant

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2008

description: A set of integers is S-recognizable in an abstract numeration system S if the language made up of the representations of its elements is accepted by a finite automaton. For abstract numeration systems built over bounded languages with at least three letters, we show that multiplication by an integer λ ≥ 2 does not preserve S-recognizability, meaning that there always exists a S-recognizable set X such that λX is not S-recognizable. The main tool is a bijection between the representation of an integer over a bounded language and its decomposition as a sum of binomial coefficients with certain properties, the so-called combinatorial numeration system.

description: Recent trends in bioinspired robotic systems are paving the way for robots to become part of our daily lives. Soft robots, which are widely recognized as the next generation of human-friendly robots, are such a trend. Soft robots are generally more adaptable, more flexible, and safer than their rigid-link counterparts. Research in soft robotics has produced a broad variety of interesting solutions for all sorts of applications ranging from medical engineering and rehabilitation over exploration to industrial handling. This diversity together with a general lack of experience in designing with soft materials has contributed to a design flow that is highly empirical in nature. For soft robots to become mass-producible in the near future, more general design and modeling methods are needed. In this article, we present a method for the design optimization of soft robot modules that effectively combines finite element modeling and gradient-free optimization. To demonstrate the feasibility of the approach, a soft pneumatic actuator is designed and optimized. Performance analysis of the optimization scheme shows the robustness of the solution in the given case.
Probabilistic Reasoning in Context: Socio-cultural Differences in Children’s and Adults’ Predictions about the Fulfillment of Prayers and Wishes

description: Children and adults appreciate that physical action is typically the conduit between individuals’ desires and the fulfillment of those desires. However, certain forms of petitionary thought – e.g., wishing and praying – are believed by many people to influence the external world and fulfill desires without direct physical action. We examine whether children’s and adults’ predictions about the occurrence of desired events differs based on: (1) the ways in which desires are expressed (wishing vs. praying), (2) whether desired events are plausible vs. impossible, and (3) participants’ religious backgrounds. Children ages 3- to 11-years (n = 144) and young adults (n = 85) were read scenarios in which a protagonist either wished or prayed for a desired event to occur. Some of the desired events could plausibly happen with ordinary human intervention and others were impossible, even with human intervention. Preschoolers often predicted that desired events would obtain; with increasing age, participants judged that fewer events would obtain. Participants’ predictions varied by the probability of the desired event – across the entire age-range participants predicted that impossible events would obtain less often than plausible events. Thus, participants’ everyday probabilistic reasoning was imported into their reasoning about the fulfillment of supernatural petitions. Children’s and adults’ religious experiences predicted their judgments that events would obtain if they had been prayed for, but not if they had been wished for. Thus, the effects of socio-cultural experience did not globally pervade children’s and adults’ probabilistic reasoning, but were specific to certain contexts about which they reasoned.
