description: Cuscuta gronovii Willd. ex Roem. & Schult. is a parasitic plant and widely distributed in Europe and North America. Here, we compared the plastome sequences of a C. gronovii plant collected from China and other 16 Cuscuta plastomes, including one C. gronovii plastome from North America. The plastome was 86,727 bp in size with a pair of inverted repeats (IRs) of 14,354 bp, a large single-copy (LSC) region of 50,956 bp, and a small single-copy (SSC) region of 7,063 bp. We predicted 97 genes in the plastome, including 61 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 28 transfer RNA genes. We detected a total of 21 microsatellite, 16 tandem, and ten interspersed repeats in the genome. Gene contents analysis of 17 Cuscuta plastomes showed the loss of the entire ndh gene family. The phylogenomic analysis using 22 shared protein sequences shows that the two C. gronovii formed a cluster. Thirteen of Cuscuta plastomes showed no rearrangement. The other three showed smaller inversions and smaller numbers of gene deletion. Next, we identified the two INDELs, one SNP site between the two C. gronovii plastomes. And we identified two putative RNA editing sites. Lastly, to distinguish between C. gronovii and two medicinal Cuscuta species, C. chinensis and C. australis, we identified ten molecular markers based on the genome sequences. The overall large-scale gene loss, conserved gene order, low intraspecific divergence are consistent with the adaptation of C. gronovii to a parasitic lifestyle.

description: Temporal multiplexing provides an efficient and scalable approach to realize a quantum random walk with photons that can exhibit topological properties. But two dimensional time-multiplexed topological quantum walks studied so far have relied on generalizations of the Su-Shreiffer-Heeger (SSH) model with no synthetic gauge field. In this work, we demonstrate a 2D topological quantum random walk where the non-trivial topology is due to the presence of a synthetic gauge field. We show that the synthetic gauge field leads to the appearance of multiple bandgaps and consequently, a spatial confinement of the random walk distribution. Moreover, we demonstrate topological edge states at an interface between domains with opposite synthetic fields. Our results expand the range of Hamiltonians that can be simulated using photonic random walks.

Measurement of D-meson nuclear modification factor and flow in Pb--Pb collisions with ALICE at the LHC
Creators: name: Grosa, Fabrizio

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Heavy quarks are sensitive probes of the colour-deconfined medium formed in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions, the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). The ALICE Collaboration measured the production of ${\rm D}^0$, ${\rm D}^+$, ${\rm D}^{*+}$ and ${\rm D_s}^+$ mesons in Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02~{\rm TeV}$. The properties of the in-medium energy loss and the possible modification of the charm-quark hadronisation mechanism are investigated via the measurement of the nuclear modification factor ($R_{\rm AA}$) of non-strange and strange D mesons. In mid-central collisions, the measurement of the D-meson elliptic flow ($v_2$) at low and intermediate transverse momentum ($p_{\rm T}$) gives insight into the participation of the charm quark in the collective motion of the system, while at high $p_{\rm T}$ it constrains the path-length dependence of the energy loss. The coupling of the charm quark to the light quarks in the underlying medium is further investigated with the application of the event-shape engineering (ESE) technique to D-meson elliptic flow. Finally, the role of the early magnetic field created in heavy-ion collisions is studied via the first measurement at the LHC energies of the charged-dependent directed flow ($v_1$) of ${\rm D}^0$ mesons as a function of pseudorapidity.

description: The purpose of this research was to determine the occurrence of 15 + 1 European priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (EUPAHs) in various types of tea purchased on Hangzhou city market in China in order to control their safety. The results indicated that the incidence rate of EUPAHs compounds was 97.4%. The total EUPAHs levels ranged from 1.2 μg/kg to 155.6 μg/kg, with a median of 27.1 μg/kg and a mean of 42.3 μg/kg. Cyclopental[cd]pyrene was not only the most frequently detected EUPAH but also detected at the highest concentrations with a mean of 12.2 μg/kg. The 4-membered and 5-membered ring EUPAHs were detected in nearly all of the tea types and accounted for 83.4% to 100.0% of the total EUPAHs mass distribution. The transfer percentages of EUPAHs from the various tea leaves to tea infusions and effect of infusion time were investigated as well. A transfer rate between 5.9% and 24.2% was found for the EUPAHs and these levels were within the maximum safe consumption limits for drinking water according to European Union regulations (EU Council Directive 98/83/EC).
Local gauge and magnetic translation groups

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The magnetic translation group was introduced as a set of operators T(R)=\exp[-iR.(p-eA/c)/\hbar]. However,these operators commute with the Hamiltonian for an electron in a periodic potential and a uniform magnetic field if the vector potential A (the gauge) is chosen in a symmetric way. It is showed that a local gauge field A_R(r) on a crystal lattice leads to operators, which commute with the Hamiltonian for any (global) gauge field A=A(r). Such choice of the local gauge determines afactor system ω(R,R')= T(R)T(R') T(R+R')^{-1}, which depends on a global gauge only. Moreover, for any potential A a commutator T(R)T(R')T(R)^{-1}T(R')^{-1} depends only on the magnetic field and not on the gauge.

description: Galaxy mergers and gas accretion from the cosmic web drove the growth of galaxies and their central black holes at early epochs. We report spectroscopic imaging of a multiple merger event in the most luminous known galaxy, WISE J224607.56-052634.9 (W2246-0526), a dust-obscured quasar at redshift 4.6, 1.3 Gyr after the Big Bang. Far-infrared dust continuum observations show three galaxy companions around W2246-0526 with disturbed morphologies, connected by streams of dust likely produced by the dynamical interaction. The detection of tidal dusty bridges shows that W2246-0526 is accreting its neighbors, suggesting merger activity may be a dominant mechanism through which the most luminous galaxies simultaneously obscure and feed their central supermassive black holes.

description: Diclazuril, a broad-spectrum anticoccidial drug, may be accumulated in edible tissues of animals through illegal use, which poses potential threats to human health through the food chain. In this study, an innovative hapten was designed and an immunogen of diclazuril was successfully synthesised with keyhole limpet haemocyanin as carrier protein; then a monoclonal antibody with high specificity was obtained. Furthermore, based on the novel antibody, a one-step indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (icELISA) was established for rapid and specific detection of diclazuril residues. Compared with the traditional icELISA method, this method saves at least 0.5 hours and one washing step. Under the optimal conditions, the one-step icELISA for diclazuril exhibited good performance with a 50% inhibition concentration (IC50) value of 0.952 μg/kg. The average recoveries of the icELISA ranged from 73.1% to 115.5% with the coefficient of variation lower than 12.7%, which was evaluated by detecting spiked animal-origin food samples. Finally, the one-step icELISA shows a good correlation with an ultra-high liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method. Those results demonstrate that the one-step icELISA developed for diclazuril detection is time-saving, low-cost, specific, sensitive, and reliable. It shows good potential for social, environmental, and economic benefits in future use.

description: Best available evidence is one of the cornerstones of evidence-based decision making. The implication is that evidence falls along a continuum from very strong evidence at one end to very weak evidence at the other end. In a perfect world, decisions would always be based on very strong evidence, but, in reality, many situations occur in which the evidence is less than very rigorous. There are three considerations in making judgments about the best available evidence: (1) the scientific rigor of the studies being evaluated, (2) the amount of evidence relevant to the specific problem, and (3) the relevance of the evidence to the specific situation under consideration

description: How do we explain and assess Bangladesh’s level of preparedness in its cybersecurity measures? This research paper investigates the question by analysing ‘The National Cybersecurity Strategy of Bangladesh’ - the official document outlining the cybersecurity measures of the country for the upcoming days. The domain of cybersecurity consists of complex interactions among different stakeholders – both public and private. In order to assess the proper interaction among relevant actors and to monitor and implement effective governing policies so that up-to-date cybersecurity systems can be ensured, Government of Bangladesh has aligned its strategy with the five key pillars of Global Cybersecurity Agenda, which were prepared by International Telecommunication Union. Based on these pillars, this research critically evaluates Bangladesh’s strategy and finds that this scheme is lagging behind to a large extent from the contemporary practices in worldwide cybersecurity preparedness. Policy recommendations are suggested before the concluding remarks in order to fix the pressing issues and modernise the cybersecurity preparedness of Bangladesh in a timely manner.

Dynamical Symmetry Breaking in SYM Theories as a Non-Semiclassical Effect

description: We study supersymmetry breaking effects in N=1 SYM from the point of view of quantum effective actions. Restrictions on the geometry of the effective potential from superspace are known to be problematic in quantum effective actions, where explicit supersymmetry breaking can and must be studied. On the other hand the true ground state can be determined from this effective action, only. We study whether some parts of superspace geometry are still relevant for the effective potential and discuss whether the ground states found this way justify a low energy approximation based on this geometry. The answer to both questions is negative: Essentially non-semiclassical effects change the behavior of the auxiliary fields completely and demand for a new interpretation of superspace geometry. These non-semiclassical effects can break supersymmetry.

In this work we have investigated the nature of the potential compatible with the power law expansion of the universe in a self interacting Brans Dicke cosmology with a perfect fluid background and have analyzed whether this potential supports the accelerated expansion. It is found that positive power law potential is relevant in this scenario and can drive accelerated expansion for negative Brans Dicke coupling parameter $ω$. The evolution of the density perturbation is also analyzed in this scenerio and is seen that the model allows growing modes for negative $ω$.

description: Metal Evolution, Transport, and Abundance in the LMC (METAL) is a large Cycle 24 program on the Hubble Space Telescope aimed at measuring dust extinction properties and interstellar depletions in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) at half-solar metallicity. The 101-orbit program is comprised of COS and STIS spectroscopy toward 33 LMC massive stars between 1150 A and 3180 A, and parallel WFC3 imaging in 7 NUV-NIR filters. The fraction of silicon in the gas-phase (depletion) obtained from the spectroscopy decreases with increasing hydrogen column density. Depletion patterns for silicon differ between the Milky Way, LMC, and SMC, with the silicon depletion level offsetting almost exactly the metallicity differences, leading to constant gas-phase abundances in those galaxies for a given hydrogen column density. The silicon depletion correlates linearly with the absolute-to-selective extinction, R$_V$, indicating a link between gas depletion and dust grain size. Extinction maps are derived from the resolved stellar photometry in the parallel imaging, which can be compared to FIR images from Herschel and Spitzer to estimate the emissivity of dust at LMC metallicity. The full METAL sample of depletions, UV extinction curves, and extinction maps will inform the abundance, size, composition, and optical properties of dust grains in the LMC, comprehensively improve our understanding of dust properties, and the accuracy with which dust-based gas masses, star formation rates and histories in nearby and high-redshift galaxies are estimated. This overview paper describes the goals, design, data reduction, and initial results of the METAL survey.

description: We present the theory for the effects of superconducting pairing fluctuations on the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, 1/T_1, and the NMR Knight shift for layered superconductors in high magnetic fields. These results can be used to clarify the origin of the pseudogap in high-T_c cuprates, which has been attributed to spin fluctuations as well as pairing fluctuations. We present theoretical results for s-wave and d-wave pairing fluctuations and show that recent experiments in optimally doped YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-d} are described by d-wave pairing fluctuations. In addition, we show that the orthorhombic distortion in YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-d} accounts for an experimentally observed discrepancy between 1/T_1 obtained by NQR and NMR at low field. We propose an NMR experiment to distinguish a fluctuating s-wave order parameter from a fluctuating strongly anisotropic order parameter, which may be applied to the system Nd_{2-x}Ce_xCuO_{4-d} and possibly other layered superconductors.

description: A product of irreducible representations of magnetic translation group is considered. It leads to irreducible representations which were previously rejected as nonphysical. A very simple example indicates a possible application of these representations. In particular, they are important in descriptions of pairs of electrons in a magnetic field and a periodic potential. The periodicity of some properties with respect to the charge of a particle is briefly discussed.

This model describe mode-locked semiconductor lasers in the ring-resonator geometry with unidirectional lasing. This contribution completes a previous communication [Vladimirov et al. Opt. Lett., 45, 252 (2020)], and we further complete the analytical derivation by taking into account phase and amplitude anisotropies and the resulting different delay times for orthogonal linear polarizations. We show evidence of the coexistence of two linearly polarized frequency combs generation with slightly different repetition rates due to the birefringence-induced time-of- flight difference.

description: The effect of anisotropy in the nearest-neighbor spin interactions that couple $N\geq 2$ consecutive spin-1/2 antiferromagnetic chains is studied theoretically by considering the limit where the coupling is purely of the Ising type. An analysis based on the equivalent Luttinger model reveals that the groundstate is an Ising antiferromagnet in general.

description: Machine learning (ML) algorithms become increasingly important in the analysis of astronomical data. However, since most ML algorithms are not designed to take data uncertainties into account, ML based studies are mostly restricted to data with high signal-to-noise ratio. Astronomical datasets of such high-quality are uncommon. In this work we modify the long-established Random Forest (RF) algorithm to take into account uncertainties in the measurements (i.e., features) as well as in the assigned classes (i.e., labels). To do so, the Probabilistic Random Forest (PRF) algorithm treats the features and labels as probability distribution functions, rather than deterministic quantities. We perform a variety of experiments where we inject different types of noise to a dataset, and compare the accuracy of the PRF to that of RF. The PRF outperforms RF in all cases, with a moderate increase in running time. We find an improvement in classification accuracy of up to 10% in the case of noisy features, and up to 30% in the case of noisy labels. The PRF accuracy decreased by less then 5% for a dataset with as many as 45% misclassified objects, compared to a clean dataset. Apart from improving the prediction accuracy in noisy datasets, the PRF naturally copes with missing values in the data, and outperforms RF when applied to a dataset with different noise characteristics in the training and test sets, suggesting that it can be used for Transfer Learning.

description: The Wheeler-DeWitt equation for the induced gravity theory is constructed in the minisuperspace approximation, and then solved using the WKB method under three types of boundary condition proposed respectively by Hartle & Hawking (``no boundary''), Linde and Vilenkin (``tunneling from nothing''). It is found that no matter how the gravitational and cosmological ``constants'' vary in the classical models, they will acquire constant values when the universe comes from quantum creation, and that, in particular, the resulting tunneling wave function under the Linde or Vilenkin boundary condition reaches its maximum value if the cosmological constant vanishes.

description: Univariate time series often take the form of a collection of curves observed sequentially over time. Examples of these include hourly ground-level ozone concentration curves. These curves can be viewed as a time series of functions observed at equally spaced intervals over a dense grid. Since functional time series may contain various types of outliers, we introduce a robust functional time series forecasting method to down-weigh the influence of outliers in forecasting. Through a robust principal component analysis based on projection pursuit, a time series of functions can be decomposed into a set of robust dynamic functional principal components and their associated scores. Conditioning on the estimated functional principal components, the crux of the curve-forecasting problem lies in modeling and forecasting principal component scores, through a robust vector autoregressive forecasting method. Via a simulation study and an empirical study on forecasting ground-level ozone concentration, the robust method demonstrates the superior forecast accuracy that dynamic functional principal component regression entails. The robust method also shows the superior estimation accuracy of the parameters in the vector autoregressive models for modeling and forecasting principal component scores, and thus improves curve forecast accuracy.

description: During the last two decades, the first generation of beam combiners at the Very Large Telescope Interferometer has proved the importance of optical interferometry for high-angular resolution astrophysical studies in the near- and mid-infrared. With the advent of 4-beam combiners at the VLTI, the u-v coverage per pointing increases significantly, providing an opportunity to use reconstructed images as powerful scientific tools. Therefore, interferometric imaging is already a key feature of the new generation of VLTI instruments, as well as for other interferometric facilities like CHARA and JWST. It is thus imperative to account for the current image reconstruction capabilities and their expected evolutions in the coming years. Here, we present a general overview of the current situation of optical interferometric image reconstruction with a focus on new wavelength-dependent information, highlighting its main advantages and limitations. As an Appendix we include several cookbooks describing the usage and installation of several state-of-the art image reconstruction packages. To illustrate the current capabilities of the software available to the community, we recovered chromatic images, from simulated MATISSE data, using the MCMC software SQUEEZE. With these images, we aim at showing the importance of selecting good regularization functions and their impact on the reconstruction.

description: Using the density matrix renormalization group method (DMRG) we calculate the magnetization of frustrated S=1/2 Heisenberg chains for various modulation patterns of the nearest neighbour coupling: commensurate, incommensurate with sinusoidal modulation and incommensurate with solitonic modulation. We focus on the order of the phase transition from the commensurate dimerized phase (D) to the incommensurate phase (I). It is shown that the order of the phase transition depends sensitively on the model. For the solitonic model in particular, a $k$-dependent elastic energy modifies the order of the transition. Furthermore, we calculate gaps in the incommensurate phase in adiabatic approximation.

description: We discuss the Seiberg-Witten solution of the non-commutative N=2 U(N) SYM model. The solution is described in terms of the ordinary Seiberg-Witten curve of the SU(N) theory plus an additional free U(1). Hence, at the two-derivative approximation the theory flows to the ordinary commutative theory in the infra-red (k<1/sqrt(theta)). In particular, the center U(1) is free and it decouples from the other U(1)'s. In addition, no UV/IR mixing is found.

description: We compare the predictions of the SuSAv2 model including two-particle two-hole meson-exchange currents with the recent JLab data for inclusive electron scattering on three different targets (C, Ar and Ti). The agreement is very good over the full energy spectrum, with some discrepancy seen only in the deep inelastic region. The 2p2h response, peaked in the dip region between the quasielastic and $Δ$-resonance peak, is essential to reproduce the data. We also analyze the $k_F$ (Fermi momentum) dependence of the data in terms of scaling of second kind, showing that the 2p2h response scales very differently from the quasielastic one, in full accord with what is predicted by the model. The results represent a valuable test of the applicability of the model to neutrino scattering processes on different nuclei.

description: The damage spreading (DS) transitions of two one-dimensional stochastic cellular automata suggested by Grassberger (A and B) and the kinetic Ising model of Menyhárd (NEKIM) have been investigated on the level of kinks and spins. On the level of spins the parity conservation is not satisfied and therefore studying these models provides a convenient tool to understand the dependence of DS properties on symmetries. For the model B the critical point and the DS transition point is well separated and directed percolation damage spreading transition universality was found for spin damage as well as for kink damage in spite of the conservation of damage variables modulo 2 in the latter case. For the A stochastic cellular automaton, and the NEKIM model the two transition points coincide with drastic effects on the damage of spin and kink variables showing different time dependent behaviours. While the kink DS transition is continuous and shows regular PC class universality, the spin damage exhibits a discontinuous phase transition with compact clusters and PC like dynamical scaling ($η^,$), ($δ_s$) and ($z_s$) exponents whereas the static exponents determined by FSS are consistent with that of the spins of the NEKIM model at the PC transition point. The generalised hyper-scaling law is satisfied.
