description: Causality in quantum field theory is defined by the vanishing of field commutators for space-like separations. However, this does not imply a direction for causal effects. Hidden in our conventions for quantization is a connection to the definition of an arrow of causality, i.e. what is the past and what is the future. If we mix quantization conventions within the same theory, we get a violation of microcausality. In such a theory with mixed conventions the dominant definition of the arrow of causality is determined by the stable states. In some quantum gravity theories, such as quadratic gravity and possibly asymptotic safety, such a mixed causality condition occurs. We discuss some of the implications.

description: For the purpose of assessing and monitoring conservation state of marine ecosystems, scientists are deploying seabed observatories and using mobile devices to acquire temporal and spatialized biodiversity data using imagery, to complement traditional 'stationary' sampling approaches. These monitoring programs make it possible to gather a large amount of data, particularly underwater images, which represents huge volume of datasets that are difficult to process. Artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled the development of algorithms to facilitate the processing of large datasets. However, the ability of machines to detect and classify objects automatically for scientific purposes depends on a learning phase based on large reference databases that have been built manually by human brains, a highly time-consuming task. In this context, involving citizens in collecting training data is an interesting solution, thanks to the important observation power that crowd represents (Matabos et al., 2024, accepted with revision).
Launched in 2023, the Ocean Spy project aims at engaging citizen in the process of marine images annotation. It provides a web platform allowing general public to access images collected in various marine habitats, from shallow to deep waters. Different tools and functionalities were designed to guide users for locating and identifying animals (or other subjects of interest) in the images, through the annotation interface.
Beyond the development of the online portal and the associated database, such an initiative requires methods for pre-processing and validating the data generated by citizen annotation. Particularly, to identify common organisms (resulting from multiple annotations) and to clean the database according to a threshold of agreement between participants. These are essential steps in the production of reliable, high-quality scientific knowledge, and in boosting the performance of AI methods for identifying taxa.
General statistics on this first year of operation and the data analysis pipeline being fine-tuned will be presented at the workshop.

description: Diets rich in fats are linked to elevated systemic inflammation, which augments the progression of inflammatory-related disorders including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and neurodegenerative diseases. A phenolic-enriched pomegranate fruit extract (PE) was investigated for its hepatoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects in male C57BL/6 mice fed either a high-fat diet or a standard rodent diet with or without 1% of PE for 12 weeks. Mouse livers and hippocampi were evaluated for the expression of genes associated with NAFLD and inflammation by multiplexed gene analysis. PE alleviated diet-induced fatty liver and suppressed hepatic lipid regulating genes including Cd36, Fas, Acot2 and Slc27a1. In addition, PE suppressed gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including Il-1α, Il-7, Il-11, Ifnα, Tnfα and Lepr in the hippocampi. Our findings support the protective effects of PE against high-fat diet-induced hepatic and neurological disease.
Evaporation kinetics of ferrofluid droplets in magnetic field ambience

description: The present article discusses the physics and mechanics of evaporation of pendent, aqueous ferrofluid droplets and modulation of the same by external magnetic field. We show experimentally and by mathematical analysis that the presence of magnetic field improves the evaporation rates of ferrofluid droplets. First we tackle the question of improved evaporation of the colloidal droplets compared to water, and propose physical mechanisms to explain the same. Experiments show that the changes in evaporation rates aided by the magnetic field cannot be explained on the basis of changes in surface tension, or based on classical diffusion driven evaporation models. Probing using particle image velocimetry shows that the internal advection kinetics of such droplets plays a direct role towards the augmented evaporation rates by modulating the associated Stefan flow. Infrared thermography reveal changes in the thermal gradients within the droplet and evaluating the dynamic surface tension reveals presence of solutal gradients within the droplet, both brought about by the external field. Based on the premise, a scaling analysis of the internal magnetothermal and magnetosolutal ferroadvection behavior is presented. The model incorporates the role of the governing Hartmann number, the magnetothermal Prandtl number and the magnetosolutal Schmidt number. The analysis and stability maps reveal that the magneto-solutal ferroadvection is the more dominant mechanism, and the model is able to predict the internal advection velocities with accuracy. Further, another scaling model to predict the modified Stefan flow is proposed, and is found to accurately predict the improved evaporation rates.
SLEs as boundaries of clusters of Brownian loops

description: In this research announcement, we show that SLE curves can in fact be viewed as boundaries of certain simple Poissonian percolation clusters: Recall that the Brownian loop-soup (introduced in the paper arxiv:math.PR/0304419 with Greg Lawler) with intensity c defines a Poissonian collection of (simple if one focuses only on the outer boundary) loops in a domain. This random family of (possibly intersecting) loops is conformally invariant (and there are almost surely infinitely many small loops in any sample). We show that there exists a critical value a in (0,1] such that if one colors all the interiors of the loops, the obtained clusters are bounded when ca, one single cluster fills the domain. We prove that for small c, the outer boundaries of the clusters are SLE-type curves where $κ\le 4$ and $c$ related by the usual relation $c=(3κ-8)(6-κ)/2κ$ (i.e. c corresponds to the central charge of the model). Conjecturally, the critical value a is equal to one and corresponds to SLE4 loops, so that this should give for any c in (0,1] a construction of a natural countable family of random disjoint SLE$_κ$ loops (i.e. $κ$ should span $(8/3,4]$), that behaves ``nicely'' under perturbation of the domain. A precise relation between chordal SLE and the loop-soup goes as follows: Consider the sample of a certain restriction measure (i.e. a certain union of Brownian excursions) in a domain, attach to it all the above-described clusters that it intersects. The outer boundary of the obtained set is exactly an SLE$_κ$, if the restriction measure exponent is equal to the highest-weight of the corresponding representation with central charge c.

Solving loop equations by Hitchin systems via holography in large-N QCD_4

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: For (planar) closed self-avoiding loops we construct a "holographic" map from the loop equations of large-N QCD_4 to an effective action defined over infinite rank Hitchin bundles. The effective action is constructed densely embedding Hitchin systems into the functional integral of a partially quenched or twisted Eguchi-Kawai model, by means of the resolution of identity into the gauge orbits of the microcanonical ensemble and by changing variables from the moduli fields of Hitchin systems to the moduli of the corresponding holomorphic de Rham local systems. The key point is that the contour integral that occurs in the loop equations for the de Rham local systems can be reduced to the computation of a residue in a certain regularization. The outcome is that, for self-avoiding loops, the original loop equations are implied by the critical equation of an effective action computed in terms of the localisation determinant and of the Jacobian of the change of variables to the de Rham local systems. We check, at lowest order in powers of the moduli fields, that the localisation determinant reproduces exactly the first coefficient of the beta function.

description: The ability of discrete-time nonlinear recurrent neural networks to store time-varying small input signals is investigated by mean-field theory. The combination of a small input strength and mean-field assumptions makes it possible to derive an approximate expression for the conditional probability density of the state of a neuron given a past input signal. From this conditional probability density, we can analytically calculate short-term memory measures, such as memory capacity, mutual information, and Fisher information, and determine the relationships among these measures, which have not been clarified to date to the best of our knowledge. We show that the network contribution of these short-term memory measures peaks before the edge of chaos, where the dynamics of input-driven networks is stable but corresponding systems without input signals are unstable.

description: The probability of observing $x_t$ at time $t$, given past observations $x_1...x_{t-1}$ can be computed with Bayes' rule if the true generating distribution $μ$ of the sequences $x_1x_2x_3...$ is known. If $μ$ is unknown, but known to belong to a class $M$ one can base ones prediction on the Bayes mix $ξ$ defined as a weighted sum of distributions $ν\in M$. Various convergence results of the mixture posterior $ξ_t$ to the true posterior $μ_t$ are presented. In particular a new (elementary) derivation of the convergence $ξ_t/μ_t\to 1$ is provided, which additionally gives the rate of convergence. A general sequence predictor is allowed to choose an action $y_t$ based on $x_1...x_{t-1}$ and receives loss $\ell_{x_t y_t}$ if $x_t$ is the next symbol of the sequence. No assumptions are made on the structure of $\ell$ (apart from being bounded) and $M$. The Bayes-optimal prediction scheme $Λ_ξ$ based on mixture $ξ$ and the Bayes-optimal informed prediction scheme $Λ_μ$ are defined and the total loss $L_ξ$ of $Λ_ξ$ is bounded in terms of the total loss $L_μ$ of $Λ_μ$. It is shown that $L_ξ$ is bounded for bounded $L_μ$ and $L_ξ/L_μ\to 1$ for $L_μ\to \infty$. Convergence of the instantaneous losses are also proven.

description: In this paper we first give a simple parametrization of the scalar coset manifold of the only known anomaly free chiral gauged supergravity in six dimensions in the absence of linear multiplets, namely gauged minimal supergravity coupled to a tensor multiplet, E_6 x E_7 x U(1)_R Yang-Mills multiplets and suitable number of hypermultiplets. We then construct the potential for the scalars and show that it has a unique minimum at the origin. We also construct a new BPS dyonic string solution in which U(1)_R x U(1) gauge fields, in addition to the metric, dilaton and the 2-form potential, assume nontrivial configurations in any U(1)_R gauged 6D minimal supergravity coupled to a tensor multiplet with gauge symmetry G\supseteq U(1). The solution preserves 1/4 of the 6D supersymmetries and can be trivially embedded in the anomaly free model, in which case the U(1) activated in our solution resides in E_7.

description: This study describes the macroeconomic determinants of health care spending in a broad context using time series data from Pakistan on economic, demographic, social, and political variables. The data spans a period from 1972- 2006 and was analyzed using cointegration and error correction approaches. All variables were found to be first difference stationary and the results confirm the presence of one cointegrating vector. This proves the existence of a long-run relationship between public health care expenditures and the other variables used in the model. The income elasticity of public health care expenditures is estimated at 0.23. As this value is less than unity it suggests that, contrary to most of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries health care qualifies as a necessity in Pakistan. Urbanization and unemployment are variables that have a negative effect on health care expenditures, with elasticity values of -1.29 and –0.32 respectively, implying that it is costly to provide health care to residents of remote rural areas of Pakistan.

description: We consider a multi-cell massive MIMO system where a time-division duplex protocol is used to estimate the channel state information via uplink pilots. When maximum ratio combining (MRC) is used at the BSs, the re-use of pilots across cells causes the pilot contamination effect which yields interference components that do not vanish as the number of base-station (BS) antennas $M \rightarrow \infty$. When treating interference as noise (TIN), this phenomenon limits the performance of multi-cell massive MIMO systems. In this paper, we analyze more advanced schemes based on simultaneous unique decoding (SD) as well as simultaneous non-unique decoding (SND) of the interference that can provide unbounded rate as $M \rightarrow \infty$. We also establish a worst-case uncorrelated noise technique for multiple-access channels to derive achievable rate expressions for finite $M$. Furthermore, we study a much simpler subset of SND (called S-SND) which provides a lower bound to SND and achieves unbounded rate as $M \rightarrow \infty$, and also outperforms SD for finite $M$. For the special cases of two-cell and three-cell systems, using a maximum symmetric rate allocation policy we compare the performance of different interference decoding schemes with that of TIN. Finally, we numerically illustrate the improved performance of the proposed schemes.

description: The binding of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) to its cell surface receptor (CSR) and subsequent signal transduction is known to be enhanced by Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans (HSPGs). HSPGs bind FGF-2 with low affinity and likely impact CSR-mediated signaling via stabilization of FGF-2-CSR complexes via association with both the ligand and the receptor. What is unknown is whether HSPG associates with CSR in the absence of FGF-2. In this paper, we determine conditions by which pre-association would impact CSR-FGF-2-HSPG triad formation assuming diffusion-limited surface reactions. Using mean-field rate equations, we show that (i) when [HSPG] is much higher than [CSR], the presence of pre-formed complexes does not affect the steady state of FGF-2 binding, and (ii) when the concentrations are comparable, the presence of pre-formed complexes substantially increases the steady state concentration of FGF-2 bound to CSR. These findings are supported by explicit cellular automaton simulations, which justify the mean-field treatment. We discuss the advantages of such a two-receptor system compared to a single receptor model, when the parameters are comparable. Further, we speculate that the observed high concentration of HSPG in intact cells ([HSPG] ~ 100[CSR]) provides a way to ensure that the binding levels of FGF-2 to its signaling receptor remains high, irrespective of the presence of pre-formed CSR-HSPG complexes on the cell surface, while allowing the cell to finely tune the response to FGF-2 via down-regulation of the signaling receptor.

description: The identification of a complete three-dimensional (3D) photonic band gap in real crystals always employs theoretical or numerical models that invoke idealized crystal structures. Thus, this approach is prone to false positives (gap wrongly assigned) or false negatives (gap missed). Therefore, we propose a purely experimental probe of the 3D photonic band gap that pertains to many different classes of photonic materials. We study position and polarization-resolved reflectivity spectra of 3D inverse woodpile structures that consist of two perpendicular nanopore arrays etched in silicon. We observe intense reflectivity peaks $(R > 90\%)$ typical of high-quality crystals with broad stopbands. We track the stopband width versus pore radius, which agrees much better with the predicted 3D photonic band gap than with a directional stop gap on account of the large numerical aperture used. A parametric plot of s-polarized versus p-polarized stopband width agrees very well with the 3D band gap and is model-free. This practical probe provides fast feedback on the advanced nanofabrication needed for 3D photonic crystals and stimulates practical applications of band gaps in 3D silicon nanophotonics and photonic integrated circuits, photovoltaics, cavity QED, and quantum information processing.

description: The aim of the present dissertation was to study the developments in continuous drug manufacturing. We examined the benefits arising from the implementation of continuous production technology compared to batch production. We then presented in detail the processes of continuous manufacturing, the prospects, and the advantages that arise from their use. We also discussed in detail the regulatory framework that governs the use of these new technologies. Another topic we addressed was the prospects arising from the use of continuous manufacturing technology in the pharmaceutical industry and its applications.

description: Within the context of transition and pasture reform in Central Asian and Caucasian countries our study focuses on the pasture reform in Azerbaijan. The pasture reform in Azerbaijan has received little attention in scientific literature although it displays a rapid emergence of individualised rights for pasture plots, which is an exceptional development in this region. Using empirical case study evidence we analyse the implementation and outcomes of the reform process for pastoral land in the context of the macroeconomic development in Azerbaijan and in comparison to pasture reforms in other post-socialist transition countries. We apply the evolutionary theory of property rights to explain and analyse the exceptionally rapid emergence of individual property rights for pasture in Azerbaijan.

description: Promoting infant health through the implementation of a diet adapted to each of the child’s development stages is one of the Public Health objectives expressed in the French National Program of Health Nutrition (NPHN). This objective is part of a long-term perspective. It follows the policies to combat infant mortality that were implemented during the 19th century and continued during the 20th century with the creation of Mother and Child Care Centres (MCCC) in 1945. Promoting breast-feeding is one of the specific actions of the second French NPHN (2006-2010). France has lower incidences and durations of breast-feeding than other countries in spite of a decline in bottle-feeding immediately after birth since the beginning of the 1990s. A sociological approach to new-born baby feeding, combining the social determinants of the mothers’ choices, evidences four types of maternal behaviours, the respective place of recommendations of infancy specialists and other sources (in particular the family), the place of practical or symbolical advice and obstacles to the application of these prescriptions. More frequent in the lower classes, the first two types of maternal behaviours show a more systematic use of bottle-feeding, although these women are distinguished by their claim to a “traditional” upbringing on the one hand and a reluctance to justify their choices beyond the constraints of life style on the other. The practice of breast-feeding is at the heart of the other two model types which mainly concern the upper or middle classes. Particularly in the case of upward social mobility, the scrupulous application of professional recommendations may be at odds with family advice, while knowledge of infant care, linked to prior experiences, enables them to keep some distance with nursing rules and gives them more flexibility in the way they are applied.

description: We consider the associated production of electroweak gauge bosons and charm or beauty quark jets at the LHC using the $k_T$-factorization framework. We apply the transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions in a proton obtained from the Parton Branching (PB) method as well as from the Catani-Ciafaloni-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) evolution equation. For the PB approach, our prescription merges the standard leading order ${\cal O}(αα_s)$ $k_T$-factorization calculations with several tree-level next-to-leading order ${\cal O}(αα_s^2)$ off-shell production amplitudes. For the CCFM scenario, our consideration is based on the ${\cal O}(αα_s^2)$ off-shell gluon-gluon fusion subprocess $g^* g^* \to Z/W + Q\bar Q$ and some subleading ${\cal O}(αα_s^2)$ subprocesses involving quark interactions, taken into account in conventional (collinear) QCD factorization. We find that the $W + c$ and $Z + b$ cross sections, calculated within the PB and CCFM-based schemes with the proper choice of leading and next-to-leading subprocesses, are in good agreement with each other, thus establishing a correspondence between these two scenarios. A comparison with the latest LHC experimental data is given and the necessity for the proper off-shell treatment of the production amplitudes in determination of the parameters of the TMD parton density is demonstrated.

description: Population growth and improvements in purchasing power in several economic areas of the world are contributing to greater consumption of fossil energy and higher volatility in energy prices. At the same time, concerns in the face of the “climate change” are an incentive to reduce use in order to contribute to cutting greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) of anthropic origin. Both these trends have stimulated research in “greener” or “renewable” alternative energy sources, such as the wind, sun or biomass, over the last decade. Biofuels are one of these alternatives to fossil energies. With this in mind, the majority of developed or emerging countries have introduced support policies for the production and use of biofuels. In many countries, these policies also aim to support agricultural activity and promote rural development. This review based on economic analyses from the INRA-SAE2 department and competent bodies (ADEME, French Agency for the Energy Development and Control), the International Agency for Energy, FAO, IFPRI, OECD and so on, draws up an assessment of the biofuel sector on a worldwide scale, showing its implications in energy and environmental terms. It also takes an interest in the support measures granted by the public authorities in favour of this sector and analyses its implications in terms of global food safety.
A Parametric Representation of Critical Curves and Caustics for a Binary Gravitational Lens

description: We find a simple expression for critical curves of a binary gravitational lens. On the basis of this, we present a parametric representation of such curves. The caustics can also be expressed with the same parameterization. The present result is helpful for efficiently constructing many templates of light curves due to binary systems, particularly extrasolar planets, which cause spikes in the light curves when a source crosses the caustics.

Constraining the geometry and kinematics of the quasar broad emission line region using gravitational microlensing. II. Comparing models with observations in the lensed quasar HE0435-1223

description: The quadruply lensed quasar HE0435-1223 shows a clear microlensing effect that affects differently the blue and red wings of the H$α$ line profile in its image D. To interpret these observations, and constrain the broad emission line region (BLR) properties, the effect of gravitational microlensing on quasar broad emission line profiles and their underlying continuum has been simulated considering representative BLR models and microlensing magnification maps. The amplification and distortion of the H$α$ line profile, characterized by a set of four indices, can be reproduced by the simulations. Although the constraints on the BLR models set by the observed single-epoch microlensing signal are not very robust, we found that flattened geometries (Keplerian disk and equatorial wind) can more easily reproduce the observed line profile deformations than a biconical polar wind. With an additional independent constraint on the size of the continuum source, the Keplerian disk model of the H$α$ BLR is slightly favored.

description: A cultura da mandioca, sobretudo na última década, assumiu posição de destaque no agronegócio. Nota-se o esforço dos agentes envolvidos na cadeia agroindustrial para que a mesma se torne mais competitiva assegurando e buscando ampliar os resultados sociais e econômicos possíveis nesta atividade. Tais preocupações surgem de maneira particular na Região Alta Paulista, principalmente, a partir da instalação de duas fecularias nos municípios de Arco-Íris e Tupã. Portanto, o presente trabalho buscou caracterizar a inserção dos distintos agentes envolvidos neste processo, nesta região. Para tanto, além de explorar dados secundários, foram aplicados questionários semi-estruturados junto aos agentes institucionais da região. Notou-se a preocupação dos produtores quanto à necessidade do emprego de sistemas eficientes de controle, como por exemplo, aqueles relativos aos custos de produção. Outro fator relevante foi a gestão dos recursos naturais, sobre o qual os entrevistados declararam sentir falta de programas de capacitação e conscientização sobre os riscos ambientais inerentes à atividade. A dificuldade de acesso ao crédito, pelo excesso de burocracia, foi outro fator apontado como inibidor da competitividade. Além disso, o encarecimento da produção, sobretudo do valor dos arrendamentos de terra; a instabilidade das relações de mercado, devido ao descumprimento dos contratos, ora pelas empresas ora pelos produtores, caracterizaram-se como entraves para inserção no mercado. As empresas ainda enfrentam desafios quanto ao tratamento de efluentes, todo caso, apresentam bom nível de gestão, tradição no setor, boa localização das plantas industriais, além de declararem baixo nível de endividamento, o que sugere capacidade de investimento.
Transition From Population III to Population II Stars

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The transition from Population III to Population II stars is determined by the presence of a sufficient amount of metals, in particular, oxygen and carbon. The vastly different yields of these relevant metals between different initial stellar mass functions would then cause such a transition to occur at different times. We show that the transition from Pop III to Pop II stars is likely to occur before the universe can be reionized, if the IMF is entirely very massive stars (M > 140 M_sun). A factor of about 10 more ionizing photons would be produced in the case with normal top-heavy IMF (e.g., M ~ 10-100 M_sun), when such a transition occurs. Thus, a high Thomson optical depth (tau_e >= 0.11-0.14) may be indication that the Population III stars possess a more conventional top-heavy IMF.

description: O presente trabalho tem por objetivo abordar o planejamento do turismo enfocando a importância do Estado para o provimento de uma atividade que gere menos custos. Para tanto defende-se que o poder público lance mão do planejamento participativo. Nesta forma de planejamento os interesses das comunidades receptoras terão prioridade. Na busca pela compreensão do planejamento participativo, a partir da realidade do turismo no Brasil, o trabalho inicia-se situando as várias formas que o turismo vem sendo abordado ao longo século XX. Em seguida discute-se as necessidades dos turistas e as suas relações com os empreendimentos turísticos e conseqüentemente com as comunidades receptoras. É feita então uma conceituação de planejamento, com o enfoque no turismo e na abordagem participativa, atentando-se para o papel do Estado. Concluindo-se, são feitas algumas sugestões que emergiram ao longo da elaboração do trabalho, as quais acredita-se que podem contribuir para a implementação de um turismo mais humano, partindo-se de um enfoque participativo e com a colaboração do Estado.
