description: This experiment studied the biological characteristics of Colletotrichum horii causing persimmon anthracnose using the crossing method and blood cell counting plate method, and screened inhibitory fungicides via assessing the effects of 16 common fungicides on the mycelial growth and spore germination. The results showed that the most suitable temperature for mycelial growth of C. horri is 25℃, the most suitable temperature for spore germination is 28℃; the suitable pH for mycelial growth of C. horri is 4.0-6.0, the most suitable pH for spore germination is 4.0; the optimal carbon source is glucose and maltose, and the optimal source of nitrogen is beef extract. Among the 16 common fungicides, 33.5% oxine-copper suspension, bromothalonil 25% microemulsion and 70% Mancozeb wettable powder (WP) have the optimal inhibitory effects on the mycelial growth and spore germination of persimmon anthracnose pathogen, and can be used as preferred agent for prevention and control of persimmon anthracnose, followed by 70% Daisen water dispersible granules (WDG), 400 g/L flusilazole emulsion and thiram 50% WP, which can be used as alternative agents. The results are expected to provide experimental basis for effective control of persimmon anthracnose.

description: The future accelerator facility for beams of ions and antiprotons at Darmstadt will provide antiproton beams of intensities that are two orders of magnitude higher than currently available. Within the foreseen scheme, antiprotons can be decelerated to 30 MeV. The low-energy antiproton community has recently formed a users group to make use of this opportunity to create a next-generation low-energy antiproton facility called FLAIR, which will be able to provide cooled antiproton beams well below 100 keV kinetic energy. This talk gives an overview of the layout and physics program of the proposed facility.

description: Prochloraz diluents (450×, 475×, 500×) were added with different concentrations of nano-titanium dioxide (TiO2) (0.8%, 1.0%) respectively to prepare complex fresh-keeping agents, which were applied in the refrigeration of Dioscorea alata Lirm. sp. With rot index, weight loss rate, browning degree (BD), total soluble solids (TSS) content, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity and peroxidase (POD) activity, DPPH• scavenging rate as evaluation indexes, the preservation effect of the prepared fresh-keeping agents on D. alata during the cold storage period was analyzed. The results showed that prochloraz added with nano-titanium dioxide significantly prolonged the storage life, reduced the rot rate and weight loss rate, and slowed the loss of pulp of D. alata. The preservation effect of complex fresh-keeping agent of prochloraz diluent (475×) and nano-titanium dioxide (1.0%) was better than that of other treatments.

description: We present an analysis of the angular momentum content of the circumgalactic medium (CGM) using TNG100, one of the flagship runs of the IllustrisTNG project. We focus on Milky Way-mass halos ($\sim 10^{12} \; M_{\odot}$) at $z=0$ but also analyze other masses and redshifts up to $z=5$. We find that the CGM angular momentum properties are strongly correlated with the stellar angular momentum of the corresponding galaxy: the CGM surrounding high-angular momentum galaxies has a systematically higher angular momentum and is better aligned to the rotational axis of the galaxy itself than the CGM surrounding low-angular momentum galaxies. Both the hot and cold phases of the CGM show this dichotomy, though it is stronger for colder gas. The CGM of high-angular momentum galaxies is characterized by a large wedge of cold gas with rotational velocities at least $\sim1/2$ of the halo's virial velocity, extending out to $\sim 1/2$ of the virial radius, and by biconical polar regions dominated by radial velocities suggestive of galactic fountains; both of these features are absent from the CGM of low-angular momentum galaxies. These conclusions are general to halo masses $\lesssim 10^{12} \; M_{\odot}$ and for $z \lesssim 2$, but they do not apply for more massive halos or at the highest redshift studied. By comparing simulations run with alterations to the fiducial feedback model, we identify the better alignment of the CGM to high-angular momentum galaxies as a feedback-independent effect and the galactic winds as a dominant influence on the CGM's angular momentum.

description: Bosonic continuous-variable Variational quantum circuits (VQCs) are crucial for information processing in cavity quantum electrodynamics and optical systems, widely applicable in quantum communication, sensing and error correction. The trainability of such VQCs is less understood, hindered by the lack of theoretical tools such as $t$-design due to the infinite dimension of the physical systems involved. We overcome this difficulty to reveal an energy-dependent barren plateau in such VQCs. The variance of the gradient decays as $1/E^{Mν}$, exponential in the number of modes $M$ but polynomial in the (per-mode) circuit energy $E$. The exponent $ν=1$ for shallow circuits and $ν=2$ for deep circuits. We prove these results for state preparation of general Gaussian states and number states. We also provide numerical evidence that the results extend to general state preparation tasks. As circuit energy is a controllable parameter, we provide a strategy to mitigate the barren plateau in continuous-variable VQCs.

The amplification of cosmological magnetic fields in Extended $f(T,B)$ Teleparallel Gravity

description: Observations indicate that intergalactic magnetic fields have amplitudes of the order of $\sim 10^{-6}$ G and are uniform on scales of $\sim 10$ kpc. Despite their wide presence in the Universe, their origin remains an open issue. Even by invoking a dynamo mechanism or a compression effect for magnetic field amplification, the existence of seed fields before galaxy formation is still problematic. General Relativity predicts an adiabatic decrease of the magnetic field evolving as $|\mathbf{B}|\propto 1/a^{2}$, where $a$ is the scale factor of the Universe. It results in very small primordial fields, unless the conformal symmetry of the electromagnetic sector is broken. In this paper, we study the possibility that a natural mechanism for the amplification of primordial magnetic field can be related to extended teleparallel gravity $f(T, B)$ models, where $T$ is the torsion scalar, and $B$ the boundary term. In particular, we consider a non-minimal coupling with gravity in view to break conformal symmetry in a teleparallel background, investigating, in particular, the role of boundary term $B$, which can be consider as a further scalar field. We find that, after solving exactly the $f(T,B)$ field equations both in inflation and reheating eras, a non-adiabatic behavior of the magnetic field is always possible, and a strong amplification appears in the reheating epoch. We also compute the ratio $r=ρ_{B}/ ρ_γ$ between the magnetic energy density and the cosmic microwave energy density during inflation, in order to explain the present value $r\simeq 1$, showing that, in the slow-roll approximation, power-law teleparallel theories with $B^{n}$ have effects indistinguishable from metric theories $R^{n}$ where $R$ is the Ricci curvature scalar..

description: We revisit the 5D gravity model by Dvali, Gabadadze, and Porrati (DGP). Within their framework it was shown that even in 5D non-compact Minkowski space $(x^μ,z)$, the Newtonian gravity can emerge on a brane at short distances by introducing a brane-localized 4D Einstein-Hilbert term $δ(z)M_4^2\sqrt{|\bar{g}_4|}\bar{R}_4$ in the action. Based on this idea, we construct simple setups in which graviton standing waves can arise, and we introduce brane-localized $z$ derivative terms as a correction to $δ(z)M_4^2\sqrt{|\bar{g}_4|}\bar{R}_4$. We show that the gravity potential of brane matter becomes $-\frac{1}{r}$ at {\it long} distances, because the brane-localized $z$ derivative terms allow only a smooth graviton wave function near the brane. Since the bulk gravity coupling may be arbitrarily small, strongly interacting modes from the 5D graviton do not appear. We note that the brane metric utilized to construct $δ(z)M_4^2\sqrt{|\bar{g}_4|}\bar{R}_4$ can be relatively different from the bulk metric by a conformal factor, and show that the graviton tensor structure that the 4D Einstein gravity predicts are reproduced in DGP type models.

description: Handwriting-based gender classification is a well-researched problem that has been approached mainly by traditional machine learning techniques. In this paper, we propose a novel deep learning-based approach for this task. Specifically, we present a convolutional neural network (CNN), which performs automatic feature extraction from a given handwritten image, followed by classification of the writer's gender. Also, we introduce a new dataset of labeled handwritten samples, in Hebrew and English, of 405 participants. Comparing the gender classification accuracy on this dataset against human examiners, our results show that the proposed deep learning-based approach is substantially more accurate than that of humans.

description: We consider singular perturbed eigenvalue problem for Laplace operator in a cylinder with frequent and nonperiodic alternation of boundary conditions imposed on narrow strips lying in the lateral surface. The width of strips depends on a small parameter in a arbitrary way and may oscillate fast, moreover, the nature of oscillation is arbitrary, too. We obtain two-sided estimates for degree of convergences of the perturbed eigenvalues.

description: The multicritical behavior at the Nishimori point of two-dimensional Ising spin glasses is investigated by using numerical transfer-matrix methods to calculate probability distributions $P(C)$ and associated moments of spin-spin correlation functions $C$ on strips. The angular dependence of the shape of correlation function distributions $P(C)$ provides a stringent test of how well they obey predictions of conformal invariance; and an even symmetry of $(1-C) P(C)$ reflects the consequences of the Ising spin-glass gauge (Nishimori) symmetry. We show that conformal invariance is obeyed in its strictest form, and the associated scaling of the moments of the distribution is examined, in order to assess the validity of a recent conjecture on the exact localization of the Nishimori point. Power law divergences of $P(C)$ are observed near C=1 and C=0, in partial accord with a simple scaling scheme which preserves the gauge symmetry.

Experimental investigation of the turbulent Schmidt number in supersonic film cooling with shock interaction

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: The interaction of an impinging shock and a supersonic helium cooling film is investigated experimentally by high-speed particle-image velocimetry. A laminar helium jet is tangentially injected into a turbulent air freestream at a freestream Mach number $Ma_\infty=2.45$. The helium cooling film is injected at a Mach number $Ma_i=1.30$ at a total temperature ratio $T_{0,i}/T_{0,\infty}=0.75$. A deflection $β=8°$ generates a shock that impinges upon the cooling film. A shock interaction case and a reference case without shock interaction are considered. The helium mass fraction fluctuations are measured and the turbulent mass flux as well as the turbulent Schmidt number are determined qualitatively. For comparison, large-eddy simulation (LES) results of a comparable flow configuration are used. The streamwise and wall-normal turbulent mass fluxes are in qualitative agreement with the LES data. The turbulent Schmidt number differs significantly from unity. Without shock interaction, the turbulent Schmidt number is in the range $0.5 \leq Sc_t \leq 1.5$ which is in agreement with the literature. With shock interaction, the turbulent Schmidt number varies drastically in the vicinity of the shock interaction. Thus, the experimental results confirm the numerical data showing a massively varying turbulent Schmidt number in supersonic film cooling flows, i.e., the standard assumption of a constant turbulent Schmidt number is valid neither without nor with shock interaction.

description: Cross-sectional research suggests a small, inverse association between social media use and body satisfaction. However, less is known regarding prospective, bidirectional, or mediating effects. In line with sociocultural theory, this study used a three-wave design to examine direct and indirect effects between social media use and body satisfaction, via thin-ideal and muscular-ideal internalisation and social comparisons. Adolescents (n = 1911; Mage = 14.27, SD = 1.08) were invited to complete three surveys over 1 year. Cross-lagged panel models indicated acceptable fit for two social media use operationalisations, with better fit statistics for the appearance-focused use rather than photo-based activities model. Despite largely no direct effects, indirect effects were found. Social comparisons mediated the relationships over time, whereby higher social media use predicted higher comparisons, which predicted lower body satisfaction. The reverse direction was also found. Gender invariance indicates that prevention aimed at reducing comparisons may be suitable for boys and girls.

title: Automation of Glycohaemoglobin Measurement and its Application to Renal Patients.
Creators: name: Goraya, Naseem Akhter
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: The work for this project was carried out in two parts. The first part of this project describes, evaluates, and compares a new pre-production automated analyser with the manual Pierce affinity method for the measurement of glycohaemoglobin (GHb). The Pierce affinity method has proven reliable for the measurement of GHb, but is very labour intensive requiring several hours for the completion of the test. The alternative new GHb analyser is simple and rapid to use.

 The automated method is also more precise (CV < 5%) and is less prone to error than the manual assay. There was a good correlation between the two methods ( n = 50, y = 1.018x -0.1034, r = 0.9806 where y = Drew x = Pierce, p = < 0.0001 using the assigned cahbrant values of BRI = 3.8%, BR2 = 10.0%. As a result of these investigations, we have now replaced our manual method with the automated analyser. Towards the end of this project we came under pressure from our endocrinologist to report our GHb results as DCCT aligned'. To this end we used the Primus DCCT aligned calibrants (intended for their own analyser) with values of Primus 1 = 5.8%, Primus 2 = 13.3%. The results of the correlation study of Biorad versus Primus calibrants was n= 139, y = 0.7585x + 2.0154, r =0.9981 where y = Primus (GHb%) x = Biorad GHb (%), p = < 0.001.

 The second part of this project was an evaluation of the effect of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) treatment on GHb results. The peritoneal dialysis solutions used in CAPD contain from 13.6 g to 38.6 g/1 of glucose as an osmotic agent. During CAPD 100-200 g of glucose is absorbed from the glucose-containing dialysate fluids each day. Icodextrin is a starch-derived glucose polymer which also acts as an osmotic agent when administered intraperitoneally for CAPD, but unlike glucose-containing CAPD fluids does not contribute to large amounts of glucose absorption. The GHb measurement for this part of the evaluation was carried out using the Drew Scientific GHb-100 analyser after the first part of the project was successfully completed.

 Contrary to what was expected CAPD did not cause a statistically significant difference in the concentration of GHb of non-diabetic patients compared to a non-diabetic group of patients who were not subjected to CAPD.

 The research conformed to the ethical standards set out by the Royal Sussex County Hospital for research.

description: Non-minimal scalar-tensor (ST) theories may admit an Einstein frame representation, where gravity is described by the Einstein-Hilbert action plus the scalar sector. Some STs become just {\em minimal} Einstein-scalar (MES) theories, notable examples are Brans-Dicke and $Rϕ^2$. ST theories with {\em derivative} coupling can also be reduced to an Einstein frame by disformal transformations, but, as a rule, their scalar sector will contain higher derivative terms. Here we draw attention to a new Palatini kinetically coupled theory which can be reduced to pure MES by an invertible disformal transformation. This theory can then be converted into the Jordan frame of another ST, $Rϕ^2$, which also admits an invertible transformation to MES. Two theories, each of which is dual to MES, will be {\em sequentially dual} to each other and can be considered as two different Jordan frames of the same theory. Both chosen theories violate null energy condition. Transforming the same singular MES solutions, we find the desingularization signs in both Jordan frames, but these are more pronouned in the framework of kinetic theory, leading, in the cosmological case, to Genesis-type behavior.

description: Wikipedia is a well-known platform for disseminating knowledge, and scientific sources, such as journal articles, play a critical role in supporting its mission. The open access movement aims to make scientific knowledge openly available, and we might intuitively expect open access to help further Wikipedia's mission. However, the extent of this relationship remains largely unknown. To fill this gap, we analyze a large dataset of citations from the English Wikipedia and model the role of open access in Wikipedia's citation patterns. We find that both the accessibility (open access status) and academic impact (citation count) significantly increase the probability of an article being cited on Wikipedia. Specifically, open-access articles are extensively and increasingly more cited in Wikipedia, as they show an approximately 64.7% higher likelihood of being cited in Wikipedia when compared to closed-access articles, after controlling for confounding factors. This open-access citation effect is particularly strong for articles with high citation counts and published in recent years. Our findings highlight the pivotal role of open access in facilitating the dissemination of scientific knowledge, thereby increasing the likelihood of open-access articles reaching a more diverse audience through platforms such as Wikipedia. Simultaneously, open-access articles contribute to the reliability of Wikipedia as a source by affording editors timely access to novel results.

description: The ontological and epistemological positions adopted by information systems design methods are incommensur-able when pushed to their extremes. Information systems research has therefore tended to focus on the similarities between different positions, usually in search of a single, unifying position. However, by focusing on the similari-ties, the clarity of argument provided by any one philoso-phical position is necessarily diminished. Consequently, researchers often treat the philosophical foundations of design methods as being of only minor importance. In this paper, we have deliberately chosen to focus on the differences between various philosophical positions. From this focus, we believe we can offer a clearer under-standing of the empirical behaviour of software as viewed from particular philosophical positions. Since the em-pirical evidence does not favour any single position, we conclude by arguing for the validity of ad hoc approaches to software design which we believe provides a stronger and more theoretically grounded approach to software design.

description: Early observations with JWST have led to the discovery of an unexpected large density (stellar mass density $ρ_*\approx 10^{6}\,M_{\odot}\,Mpc^{-3}$) of massive galaxies (stellar masses $M_*\geq 10^{10.5}M_{\odot}$) at extremely high redshifts $z\approx 10$. We show that - under the most conservative assumptions, and independently of the baryon physics involved in galaxy formation - such abundance is not only in tension with the standard $Λ$CDM cosmology, but provides extremely tight constraints on the expansion history of the Universe and on the growth factors corresponding to a wide class of Dark Energy (DE) models. The constraints we derive rule out with high ($>2σ$) confidence level a major portion of the parameter space of Dynamical DE models allowed (or even favoured) by existing cosmological probes.

description: We study the interpretability of predictive systems that use high-dimensonal behavioral and textual data. Examples include predicting product interest based on online browsing data and detecting spam emails or objectionable web content. Recently, counterfactual explanations have been proposed for generating insight into model predictions, which focus on what is relevant to a particular instance. Conducting a complete search to compute counterfactuals is very time-consuming because of the huge dimensionality. To our knowledge, for behavioral and text data, only one model-agnostic heuristic algorithm (SEDC) for finding counterfactual explanations has been proposed in the literature. However, there may be better algorithms for finding counterfactuals quickly. This study aligns the recently proposed Linear Interpretable Model-agnostic Explainer (LIME) and Shapley Additive Explanations (SHAP) with the notion of counterfactual explanations, and empirically benchmarks their effectiveness and efficiency against SEDC using a collection of 13 data sets. Results show that LIME-Counterfactual (LIME-C) and SHAP-Counterfactual (SHAP-C) have low and stable computation times, but mostly, they are less efficient than SEDC. However, for certain instances on certain data sets, SEDC's run time is comparably large. With regard to effectiveness, LIME-C and SHAP-C find reasonable, if not always optimal, counterfactual explanations. SHAP-C, however, seems to have difficulties with highly unbalanced data. Because of its good overall performance, LIME-C seems to be a favorable alternative to SEDC, which failed for some nonlinear models to find counterfactuals because of the particular heuristic search algorithm it uses. A main upshot of this paper is that there is a good deal of room for further research. For example, we propose algorithmic adjustments that are direct upshots of the paper's findings.

description: Title

Central mechanisms of neural reorganization under short-term olfactory deprivation.

Introduction

The aim of the study was to investigate the neurodynamics of the human brain during intellectual load under passive perception of trigeminal agent (ammonia).

Methods

51 healthy volunteers (male and female students aged 18 to 23 years with no documented manifestations of rhinal pathologies) participated in this study. EEG was registered over a period of 9 minutes during the rest state and 6 minutes during mental arithmetical subtraction under odor stimulation with ammonia. We estimated the spectral power density (SPD) and the levels of coherence of all the frequencies from 0.2 to 35 Hz.

Results

Odor stimulation with ammonia resulted in generalized activation (depression of low frequency components and partial activation of beta2--subband) and increased levels of cortical integration in theta2-, alphal-, alpha3-and beta2-subbands (mainly in the posterior cortex). We did not observe any pronounced adaptation to the smell during the action of ammonia. We also found that activation of trigeminal chemosensory system did not lead to any deactivation processes in the neocortex.

Conclusion

Neurodynamics of brain processes in this case likely reflected the interaction of brain systems that exert upstream and downturn control. Perceptions of ammonia did not alter cognitive task-specific reorganization of EEG, but activation processes during intellectual load were less marked in comparison to those in control: we observed strongly pronounced increase of alpha2-subband in the frontal-temporal brain regions during the mental load under stimulation with ammonia.

description: The main objective of this work is to explore the evolution in the structure of the quark-anti-quark bound states in going down in the chirally restored phase from the so-called "zero binding points" $T_{zb}$ to the full (unquenched) QCD critical temperature $T_c$ at which the Nambu-Goldstone and Wigner-Weyl modes meet. In doing this, we adopt the idea recently introduced by Shuryak and Zahed for charmed $\bar c c$, light-quark $\bar q q$ mesons $π, σ, ρ, A_1$ and gluons that at $T_{zb}$, the quark-anti-quark scattering length goes through $\infty$ at which conformal invariance is restored, thereby transforming the matter into a near perfect fluid behaving hydrodynamically, as found at RHIC. We show that the binding of these states is accomplished by the combination of (i) the color Coulomb interaction, (ii) the relativistic effects, and (iii) the interaction induced by the instanton-anti-instanton molecules. The spin-spin forces turned out to be small. While near $T_{zb}$ all mesons are large-size nonrelativistic objects bound by Coulomb attraction, near $T_c$ they get much more tightly bound, with many-body collective interactions becoming important and making the $σ$ and $π$ masses approach zero (in the chiral limit). The wave function at the origin grows strongly with binding, and the near-local four-Fermi interactions induced by the instanton molecules play an increasingly more important role as the temperature moves downward toward $T_c$.

description: The identification of relevance with little textual context is a primary challenge in passage retrieval. We address this problem with a representation-based ranking approach that: (1) explicitly models the importance of each term using a contextualized language model; (2) performs passage expansion by propagating the importance to similar terms; and (3) grounds the representations in the lexicon, making them interpretable. Passage representations can be pre-computed at index time to reduce query-time latency. We call our approach EPIC (Expansion via Prediction of Importance with Contextualization). We show that EPIC significantly outperforms prior importance-modeling and document expansion approaches. We also observe that the performance is additive with the current leading first-stage retrieval methods, further narrowing the gap between inexpensive and cost-prohibitive passage ranking approaches. Specifically, EPIC achieves a MRR@10 of 0.304 on the MS-MARCO passage ranking dataset with 78ms average query latency on commodity hardware. We also find that the latency is further reduced to 68ms by pruning document representations, with virtually no difference in effectiveness.

description: Agricultural promotion groups (APGs) promote the economic welfare of agricultural producers by financing generic advertising and promotion activities intended to expand demand for their commodities in hopes that the benefits will more than cover the cost. A review of the most recent evaluations of 27 major U.S. APG generic advertising and promotion programs conducted by many different researchers using widely different techniques concludes that that those programs have effectively enhanced the profits of their respective stakeholders and generated high rates of returns to the dollars invested in those programs. Importantly, this study finds that the success of those programs in supporting and growing their respective sectors of agriculture has spilled over to the general economy. The programs have created an important multiplier effect through the economy. In the process, jobs have been created; income has been generated; and economic growth has occurred.
Self-healing slip pulses and the friction of gelatin gels

description: We present an extensive experimental study and scaling analysis of friction of gelatin gels on glass. At low driving velocities, sliding occurs via propagation of periodic self-healing slip pulses whose velocity is limited by collective diffusion of the gel network. Healing can be attributed to a frictional instability occurring at the slip velocity $v = V_c$. For $v > V_c$, sliding is homogeneous and friction is ruled by the shear-thinning rheology of an interfacial layer of thickness of order the (nanometric) mesh size, containing a semi-dilute solution of polymer chain ends hanging from the network. Inspite of its high degree of confinement, the rheology of this system does not differ qualitatively from known bulk ones. The observed ageing of the static friction threshold reveals the slow increase of adhesive bonding between chain ends and glass. Such structural ageing is compatible with the existence of a velocity-weakening regime at velocities smaller than $V_c$, hence with the existence of the healing instability.

description: For decades, searches for electroweak-scale dark matter (DM) have been performed without a definitive detection. This lack of success may hint that DM searches have focused on the wrong mass range. A proposed candidate beyond the canonical parameter space is ultra-heavy DM (UHDM). In this work, we consider indirect UHDM annihilation searches for masses between 30 TeV and 30 PeV, extending well beyond the unitarity limit at $\sim$100 TeV, and discuss the basic requirements for DM models in this regime. We explore the feasibility of detecting the annihilation signature, and the expected reach for UHDM with current and future Very-High-Energy (VHE; $>$ 100 GeV) $γ$-ray observatories. Specifically, we focus on three reference instruments: two Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope arrays, modeled on VERITAS and CTA-North, and one Extended Air Shower array, motivated by HAWC. With reasonable assumptions on the instrument response functions and background rate, we find a set of UHDM parameters (mass and cross section) for which a $γ$-ray signature can be detected by the aforementioned observatories. We further compute the expected upper limits for each experiment. With realistic exposure times, the three instruments can probe DM across a wide mass range. At the lower end, it can still have a point-like cross section, while at higher masses the DM could have a geometric cross section, indicative of compositeness.
