description: Machine learning (ML) is increasingly useful as data increases in both volume and accessibility. The data inviting ML analysis often includes at least an implicit order or temporal context, which obscures but does not remove the one-directional flow of time within the data. This research takes the first step in exploring the interaction of ML algorithms and training regimes on data with implicit representations. This research will then inform on the suitability of ML for analysing the kind of data that is accumulating daily from every social media platform, Internet of Things device, businesses report, transport tracker or other source. The algorithms are explored first through a literature review and second through an experiment that applies each algorithm to the same data in different ways, each representing time differently. The research is expected to show that ML algorithms are sensitive to temporal context, even when the representation of time in the data or task is only subtle. Further, the research presents preliminary results showing that different training regimes can be understood as ways to represent time within ML, further expanding the set of tools available to researchers when selecting appropriate algorithms.

description: Background: The absence of pollinators may prevent sexual reproduction and affect the distribution and persistence of individual plant populations, but the role of pollinators in shaping the patterns of distributions of plant species or populations has not been well studied. Aims: Here, we tested the hypothesis that failure of sexual reproduction due to the absence of pollinators may contribute to the disjunct distribution of Iris ensata. Methods: We assessed floral traits and pollinator visitation frequencies in three native and two ex situ populations. We also conducted controlled pollination experiments and examined progeny performance to estimate pollen limitation (PL) and inbreeding depression. Results: Hand-pollinations indicated that I. ensata was a partially self-compatible outcrosser. Sexual reproduction in our study region depended on Bombus trifasciatus. We observed inbreeding depression for seed set and germination, but not for seedling survival. Native populations had higher frequencies of pollinator visitation and lower pollen-limitation of seed set than ex situ populations. Among populations, the magnitude of PL was negatively related to pollinator visitation rate (P = 0.04). Conclusions: Pollinator limitation and inbreeding depression may both restrict the southern distribution of I. ensata, preventing its northward expansion, thus explaining the disjunct distribution of I. ensata in East Asia.

description: In most DSP applications, FIR filters are used as they provide unconditional stability and linear phase characteristics. However, FIR filters require relatively higher numbers of taps in comparison with IIR filters and this may affect the performances in terms of most of the metrics. Developing FIR filter architectures with simultaneous Improvement in throughput and energy efficiency, while minimizing power, area, and latency is always a challenge due to the trade-off between performance metrics. To this end, three variants of high-performance FIR filters are presented. Three levels of modifications including retiming, fine-grain pipelining, and the use of efficient Booth multipliers and adders are incorporated to achieve overall improvement in performances. The CPD, ELT, power, area, PDP, and ADP of the proposed filter FRFIR-5 are reduced by 25.15%, 44.83%, 49%, 65.64%, 57.11%, and 65.52% respectively in comparison with fully flexible retimed filter and by 57.57%, 55.56%, 11.27%, 11.98%, 57.69%, and 49.92% respectively in comparison with retimed filter using modified square root adders and radix-4 modified Booth multipliers. Cadence software with gpdk 45 nm standard cell library is used for the design and implementation.
Self-Similar Magnetocentrifugal Disk Winds with Cylindrical Asymptotics

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We construct a two-parameter family of models for self-collimated, radially self-similar magnetized outflows from accretion disks. A flow at zero initial poloidal speed leaves the surface of a rotating disk and is accelerated and redirected toward the pole by helical magnetic fields threading the disk. At large distances from the disk, the flow streamlines asymptote to wrap around the surfaces of nested cylinders. In constrast to previous disk wind modeling, we have explicitly implemented the cylindrical asymptotic boundary condition to examine the consequences for flow dynamics. The solutions are characterized by the logarithmic gradient of the magnetic field strength and the ratios between the footpoint radius R_0 and asymptotic radius R_1 of streamlines; the Alfven radius must be found as an eigenvalue. Cylindrical solutions require the magnetic field to drop less steeply than 1/R. We find that the asymptotic poloidal speed on any streamline is typically just a few tenths of the Kepler speed at the corresponding disk footpoint. The asymptotic toroidal Alfven speed is, however, a few times the footpoint Kepler speed. We discuss the implications of the models for interpretations of observed optical jets and molecular outflows from young stellar systems. We suggest that the difficulty of achieving strong collimation in vector velocity simultaneously with a final speed comparable to the disk rotation rate argues against isolated jets and in favor of models with broader winds.

description: Supersymmetry breaking in the early universe induces scalar soft potentials with curvature of order the Hubble constant. This has a dramatic effect on the coherent production of scalar fields along flat directions. For the moduli problem it generically gives a concrete realization of the problem by determining the field value subsequent to inflation. However it might suggest a solution if the minimum of the induced potential coincides with the true minimum. The induced Hubble scale mass also has important implications for the Affleck-Dine mechanism of baryogenesis. This mechanism requires large squark or slepton expectation values to develop along flat directions in the early universe. This is generally not the case if the induced mass squared is positive, but does occur if it is negative. The resulting baryon to entropy ratio depends mainly on the dimension of the nonrenormalizable operator in the superpotential which stabilizes the flat direction, and the reheat temperature after inflation. Unlike the original scenario, it is possible to obtain an acceptable baryon asymmetry without subsequent entropy releases.

description: While perturbative techniques work extremely well for weakly interacting field theories (e.g. QED), they are not useful when studying strongly interacting field theories (e.g. QCD at low energies). In this paper we review Heisenberg's idea about quantizing strongly interacting, non-linear fields, and an approximate method of solving the infinite set of Tamm-Dankoff equations is suggested. We then apply this procedure to an infinite energy, classical flux tube-like solution of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory and show that this quantization procedure ameliorates some of the bad behaviour of the classical solution. We also discuss the possible application of this quantization procedure to a recently proposed strongly interacting phonon model of High-$T_c$ superconductors.

We find that the infrared continuum and emission lines are concentrated in a flattened ellipse 3-4'' or 150 pc across which may show where a recent accretion event has triggered intense star formation. The ionizing radiation from this cluster has an effective temperature of 40,000 K, corresponding to $30M_\odot$ stars, and the starburst is $0.5-1.5 \times 10^7$ years old.

description: Premna fulva Craib, locally known as “Zhangu” in China, is a kind of traditional medicinal plant. A phytochemical investigation on this plant led to the isolation of a novel flavonoid glycoside along with three known analogues. The chemical structure of the new compound was determined by spectral and chemical analysis as apigenin 8-C-β-D-xylopyranoside (1). Compound 1 showed weak inhibitory activities in vitro against to four tumor cell lines (HL-60, Bcap37, SMMC7721, and P388) with IC50 values of 12.58, 19.31, 31.02, and 48.19 μg/mL, respectively. The result might be helpful to explain the application of P. fulva in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Building, Processing, and Sharing 3D Photogrammetric Data: An Archaeological Viewpoint
Creators: name: Miller, Ian
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This paper explores how information related to ancient artifacts can be visualized and shared using the technique of 3D photogrammetry. It presents a case study involving metallurgical objects from Africa to examine the applicability of this technique in creating and documenting 3D models, archiving cultural data, and sharing research materials digitally. This work is important not only to those who aim to create visualizations of objects relevant to their research, but also to citizen science initiatives that aim to share this data in accessible ways. The case study in question involves metal smelting crucibles and ingot molds from Marandet, Niger which date back to 600-800 AD. These objects are crucial to archaeological and economic research related to ancient trade systems in West and Central Africa. However, due to the fragility of these objects, the range of research related to them is restricted in its quantity and scope. 3D photogrammetry provides a solution to this problem by digitizing these artifacts and sharing them via online platforms. Lastly, this presentation analyzes methods that can be used in a field setting: it will evaluate open-source software and phone cameras in the creation of 3D models.

description: The concept of dimensional reduction in the high temperature regime is generalized to static Green's functions of composite operators that contain fermionic fields. The recognition of a natural kinematic region where the lowest Matsubara modes are close to their mass-shell, and the ultraviolet behavior of the running coupling constant of the original theory are crucial for providing the necessary scale hierarchy. The general strategy is illustrated in the asymptotically-free Gross-Neveu model in 1+1 dimensions, where we verify that dimensional reduction occurs to the leading order in $g^2(T)$. We also find, in the same model, that the scale parameter characterizing the dependence on temperature of the coupling constant in the reduced theory, $Λ_T$, is considerably smaller than $Λ_{\bar{\text{MS}}}$. Implications of our results for QCD are also discussed.

In addition, the periods of $210$ stars without a previous VSX record were determined, and $282$ candidate variable stars were newly identified. The O'Connell effect is seen in seven eclipsing binaries, of which two have no previous record of this effect. MASCARA data are very well suited to study known variable stars. They also serve as a powerful means to find new variables among the brightest stars in the sky. Follow-up is required to ensure that the observed variability does not originate from faint background objects.

description: Abstract A major roadblock in the development of novel vaccines is the formulation and delivery of the antigen. Liposomes composed of a dimethyldioctadecylammonium (DDA) backbone and the adjuvant trehalose-6-6-dibehenate (TDB, termed “cationic adjuvant formulation (CAF01)”, promote immunogenicity and protective efficacy of vaccines, most notably against infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Specifically, the multicomponent antigen H56 delivered by CAF01 protects against tuberculosis in mice. Here we investigated whether the inclusion of immune-modulatory adjuvants into CAF01 modulates the immunogenicity of H56/CAF01 in vitro and in vivo. Based on our recent findings we selected the active sequence of the mycobacterial 19 kDa lipoprotein, Pam3Cys, which interacts with Toll like receptor 2 to induce an antimicrobial pathway. H56/CAF01-Pam3Cys liposomes were characterized for Pam3Cys incorporation, size, toxicity and activation of primary human macrophages. Macrophages efficiently take up H56/CAF01-Pam3Cys and trigger the release of significantly higher levels of TNF, IL-12 and IL-10 than H56/CAF01 alone. To evaluate the immunogenicity in vivo, we immunized mice with H56/CAF01-Pam3Cys and measured the release of IFN-γ and IL-17A by lymph node cells and spleen cells. While the antigen-specific production of IFN-γ was reduced by inclusion of Pam3Cys into H56/CAF01, the levels of IL-17A remained unchanged. In agreement with this finding, the concentration of the IFN-γ-associated IgG2a antibodies in the serum was lower than in H56/CAF01 immunized animals. These results provide proof of concept that Toll like-receptor agonist can be included into liposomes to modulate immune responses. The discordant results between the in vitro studies with human macrophages and in vivo studies in mice highlight the relevance and complexity of comparing immune responses in different species
Time-Evolved X-ray Irradiation during the 1999$-$2000 Outburst of the Black-Hole Binary XTE J1859+226

description: X-ray irradiation in X-ray binaries is thought to control the behavior at the outer disc, which is observable mainly at optical wavelengths. It is generally parameterized phenomenologically, but it can also be predicted from theoretical models of irradiated discs and their coronae/winds. We test these models using five multi-wavelength Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and quasi simultaneous Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) datasets from the black-hole binary XTE J1859$+$226. These show how the reprocessed optical emission changes during outburst as the source fades from the very high/intermediate state at $\sim$0.4$L_{\rm Edd}$ down through the high/soft state towards the transition to the hard state at $\sim$0.02$L_{\rm Edd}$. The models are able to reproduce the small change in reprocessing efficiency as the source flux decreases by a factor of two, and the spectrum softens from the very high/intermediate state to the bright high/soft state. However, the low luminosity high/soft state as well as the transition spectrum show more complex behaviour that is not well described by current models. We suggest the disc geometry has changed drastically during the outburst, probably due to tidal forces, and that the disc is no longer in steady state at the late stage of the outburst.

description: This research applies “The social production of ecosystem services: A framework for studying environmental justice and ecological complexity in urbanized landscapes” (Ernstson, 2013) in the city of Santiago de Cali, Colombia. Broadly speaking, theframework was inspired by the increasing evidence on civil efforts to protect nature in cities—different from top-down and elite-oriented conventional conservation measures. However, this is only half of the story. Ernstson devotes special attention to power relations as they lie at the heart of such protective narratives, implying that certain voices—or values—will prevail upon others. Secondly, place-based struggles develop in a wider context: the city, understood here as an ecological network enabled by complex ecological processes that unfold across nodes and links. And importantly, those ecological processes are susceptible to day-to-day practices on site. Taken together, both analytical modes—value articulation and the ecological network perspective—make evident the role humans play in the generation and distribution of ecosystem services, but most importantly it raises the question of who can actually take part into these value-creating processes. This research therefore approaches the ecology of cities as a testimony of relational1 rather than pre-determined dimensions (ecological units distributing ecosystem services on equal basis) and as a result of how power operates locally. Few such studies have been done Colombian cities. To this end, two case-studies were carried out in sites where communities of opposite income levels live—a river and a wetland. Questions analyzed across case-studies were: (i) how actors constructed and hierarchized values towards nature; (ii) what artifacts and social arenas did they appeal to in order to legitimize their protective narrative; and (iii) how these place-based struggles impacted the generation and distribution of ecosystem services city-wide. Data collection was based on qualitative interviews, participatory observations, historical and news archive, and reports from the City Administration. This research is built on the theories of Ecosystem Services, Socialecological Systems, Critical Geography and basic principles of Landscape Ecology. A commonality between the case study sites was that both were under high development pressures and the ecosystem services approach served as a platform to legitimize the importance of these sites. Differences dealt with the social arenas involved, the strategies activists appealed to in order to link artifacts to people, what was at stake in each case, and whereas a cohesive vision (or lack of it) explained the outcome.

description: It has been shown that relevance judgment of documents is influenced by multiple factors beyond topicality. Some multidimensional user relevance models (MURM) proposed in literature have investigated the impact of different dimensions of relevance on user judgment. Our hypothesis is that a user might give more importance to certain relevance dimensions in a session which might change dynamically as the session progresses. This motivates the need to capture the weights of different relevance dimensions using feedback and build a model to rank documents for subsequent queries according to these weights. We propose a geometric model inspired by the mathematical framework of Quantum theory to capture the user's importance given to each dimension of relevance and test our hypothesis on data from a web search engine and TREC Session track.

description: Objective Half of all newly diagnosed patients with glioblastoma are > 65 years still with a poor prognosis. Preserving quality of life is of high importance. However, patient reported outcome (PRO) data in this patient group is rare. The aim was to compare health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and distress between elderly and younger patients with high-grade glioma (HGG). Methods We used baseline data of a prospective study where HGG patients were enrolled from 4 hospitals. Distress was measured using the distress thermometer (DT), HRQoL using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Core Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) plus brain module (BN20). We compared distress and HRQoL by age (≥ 65 vs. < 65 years), gender, performance score, and time since diagnosis using multivariate linear and logistic regressions. Results A total of n = 93 (30%) out of n = 309 patients were ≥ 65 years (mean 70 years, range 65–86 years). Mean DT score of elderly patients (5.2, SD 2.6) was comparable with younger patients (4.9, SD 2.6). Elderly patients reported significantly lower global health (GHS, mean elderly vs. younger; 50.8 vs. 60.5, p = 0.003), worse physical (56.8 vs. 73.3, p < 0.001) and lower cognitive functioning (51.1 vs. 63.2, p = 0.002), worse fatigue (52.5 vs. 43.5, p = 0.042), and worse motor dysfunction (34.9 vs. 23.6, p = 0.030). KPS and not age was consistently associated with HRQoL. Conclusion Physical functioning was significantly reduced in the elderly compared with younger HGG patients, and at the same time, emotional functioning and DT scores were comparable. KPS shows a greater association with HRQoL than with calendric age in HGG patients reflecting the particular importance for adequate assessment of HRQoL and general condition in elderly patients.

description: Zusammenfassung Der Klimawandel wird sich in Baden-Württemberg im Wesentlichen mit einer Zunahme an Extremwetterlagen von Hitze und Starkregen auswirken. Die Kommunen stehen vor der Herausforderung, mit den bereits eingetretenen und den zu erwartenden klimatischen Veränderungen angemessen umzugehen. In Deutschland gibt es auf Bundesebene seit 2006 erkennbare Bestrebungen, das Thema der Anpassung an den Klimawandel zu institutionalisieren. Es sind allerdings primär die Länder, die spezifische Programme für ihren jeweiligen geografischen Kontext initiieren und umsetzen müssen. Den kommunalen Entscheidern kommt hierbei eine zentrale Verantwortung zu, denn sie sind auf lokaler Ebene gefordert, den Herausforderungen des Klimawandels zu begegnen. Hemmende Faktoren für kommunale Anpassungsstrategien sind dabei u. a. die fehlende Benennung von klaren Zuständigkeiten und die weitgehende Unverbindlichkeit von Richtlinien und Beschlüssen. An diesen Punkten sollte angeknüpft werden. Die strategische Einbindung von regionalen Stakeholdern könnte dazu beitragen, die überregionale Anpassungsplanung wirksam in die Kommunalplanung zu überführen.
On testing frame-dragging with LAGEOS and a recently announced geodetic satellite

description: Recently, Ciufolini and coworkers announced the forthcoming launch of a new cannonball geodetic satellite in 2019. It should be injected in an essentially circular path with the same semimajor axis $a$ of LAGEOS, in orbit since 1976, and an inclination $I$ of its orbital plane supplementary with respect to that of its existing cousin. According to their proponents, the sum of the satellites' precessions of the longitudes of the ascending nodes $Ω$ should allow one to test the general relativistic Lense-Thirring effect to a $\simeq 0.2\%$ accuracy level, with a contribution of the mismodeling in the even zonal harmonics $J_\ell,~\ell=2,4,6,\ldots$ of the geopotential to the total error budget as little as $0.1\%$. Actually, such an ambitious goal seems to be hardly attainable because of the direct and indirect impact of, at least, the first even zonal $J_2$. On the one hand, the lingering scatter of the estimated values of such a key geophysical parameter from different recent GRACE/GOCE-based global gravity field solutions is representative of an uncertainty which may directly impact the summed Lense-Thirring node precessions at a $\simeq 70-80\%$ in the worst scenarios, and to a $\simeq 3-10\%$ level in other, more favorable cases. On the other hand, the phenomenologically measured secular decay $\dot a$ of the semimajor axis of LAGEOS (and, presumably, of the other satellite as well), currently known at a $σ_{\dot a}\simeq 0.03~\textrm{m~yr}^{-1}$ level after more than 30 yr, will couple with the sum of the $J_2$-induced node precessions yielding an overall bias as large as $\simeq 20-40\%$ after $5-10$ yr. A further systematic error of the order of $\simeq 2-14\%$ may arise from an analogous interplay of the secular decay of the inclination $\dot I$ with the oblateness-driven node precessions.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Two new natural diols, (2S, 3S, 4S)-4-methyl-1-phenylhexane-2,3-diol (1) and (2S, 3S)-4-methyl-1-phenylpentane-2,3-diol (2), together with five known compounds, xenocyloins B-D (3–5), lumichrome (6) and thymidine (7) were isolated from Streptomyces sp. CB09001. The absolute configurations of 1 and 2 were established by crystallographic structure analysis. The anti-inflammatory effects of 1–7 were also investigated in RAW246.7 murine macrophage cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. The indole derivative xenocyloin B (3) significantly inhibited inducible nitric oxide synthase expression in RAW264.7 cells and could be a potential anti-inflammatory drug lead.

Why does the GLAM sector work with Google Arts and Culture? Results of a Survey
Creators: name: Terras, Melissa
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Google Arts and Culture (https://artsandculture.google.com) is now a major online portal through which users can experience artworks and cultural artifacts from over 2000 galleries, libraries, archives and museums (GLAM), from over 80 countries, worldwide. While the portal attracts large audiences, there has been next-to-no published research on the GLAM sector experience of GA&C. What is attractive about the platform to institutions? What benefits does it provide to the partner organisation? What was the experience of preparing and submitting material to GA&C? What issues are there regarding labour, permissions, copyright, and sustainability? What lasting effects will it have on the sector? This paper reports on the results of an in-depth online survey which aimed to understand the GLAM sector’s experience with and perceptions of GA&C, undertaken in early 2021. 72 responses were received from cultural heritage professionals working in GLAM organisations across Europe, Asia, Australasia, North America, and the Middle East. Responses reveal a complex (and under-resourced) relationship to a glossy, western-centric, data-hungry, corporatisation of the online GLAM space, which also has the potential to engage new audiences, and raise profiles of institutions and their holdings. Recommendations are provided for both GLAM institutions engaging with GA&C, and the platform itself.

description: We propose an approach to analysing single trajectories of a particle, which moves randomly on a landscape distinct parts of which result in sufficiently various diffusion coefficients. The method based on the mapping the cumulative sum of step-wise elementary displacement squared into a complex oscillating functions with the subsequent continuous wavelet analysis of the later allows the localisation of relatively homogeneous sub-regions and determining values of the diffusion coefficient within each such sub-region. This approach is applied to demonstrable test examples as well as to the reconstruction of the biological membrane's properties from the real data of single molecule walk tracing.

description: We study all three-point functions of normalized chiral operators in D=4, $\mathcal{N}=4$, U(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the large $N$ limit. We compute them for small 't Hooft coupling $λ=g_{YM}^2N<<1$ using free field theory and at strong coupling $λ=g_{YM}^2>>1$ using the $AdS$/CFT correspondence. Surprisingly, we find the same answers in the two limits. We conjecture that at least for large $N$ the exact answers are independent of $λ$ .
