description: We consider the feasibility of using the Galileo Navigation Satellite System to constrain possible extensions or modifications to General Relativity, by assessing the impact of the related additions to the Newtonian potential and comparing with the available observables: the relative frequency shift and the time delay of light propagation. We address the impact of deviations from General Relativity based on the parameterized Post-Newtonian parameters due to the presence of a Cosmological Constant, of a constant acceleration like the putative Pioneer anomaly, a Yukawa potential term due to massive scalar fields and a power-law potential term, which can arise from Ungravity or f(R) theories.

Cascades transition in generalised two-dimensional turbulence

description: Generalised two-dimensional (2D) fluid dynamics is characterised by a relationship between a scalar field $q$, called generalised vorticity, and the stream function $ψ$, namely $q = (-\nabla^2)^\fracα{2} ψ$. We study the transition of cascades in generalised 2D turbulence by systematically varying the parameter $α$ and investigating its influential role in determining the directionality (inverse, forward, or bidirectional) of these cascades. We derive upper bounds for the dimensionless dissipation rates of generalised energy $E_G$ and enstrophy $Ω_G$ as the Reynolds number tends to infinity. These findings corroborate numerical simulations, illustrating the inverse cascade of $E_G$ and forward cascade of $Ω_G$ for $α> 0$, contrasting with the reverse behaviour for $α< 0$. The dependence of dissipation rates on system parameters reinforces these observed transitions, substantiated by spectral fluxes and energy spectra, which hint at Kolmogorov-like scalings at large scales but discrepancies at smaller scales between numerical and theoretical estimates. These discrepancies are possibly due to nonlocal transfers, which dominate the dynamics as we go from positive to negative values of $α$. Intriguingly, the forward cascade of $E_G$ for $α< 0$ reveals similarities to three-dimensional turbulence, notably the emergence of vortex filaments within a 2D framework, marking a unique feature of this generalised model.

Localizing Estimates of the Support of Solutions of some Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations - The Stationary Case

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: The main goal of this paper is to study the nature of the support of the solution of suitable nonlinear Schrödinger equations mainly the compactness of the support and its spatial localization. This question is very related with pure essence of the derivation of the Schrödinger equation since it is well-known that if the linear Schrödinger equation is perturbated with "regular" potentials then the corresponding solution never vanishes on a positive measured subset of the domain, which corresponds with the impossibility of localize the particle. Here we shall prove that if the perturbation involves suitable singular nonlinear terms then the support of the solution becomes a compact set and so any estimate on its spatial localization implies a very rich information on places which can not be. Our results are obtained by the application of some energy methods which connect the compactness of the support with the local vanishing of a suitable "energy function" which satisfies a nonlinear differential inequality with an exponent less than one. The results improve and extend a previous short presentation by the authors published in 2006.

The metabolic effects of leptin therapy and glucagon suppression therapy in mouse models of diabetes
Creators: name: Neumann, Ursula Hope
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: It has long been thought that the only hormone capable of reversing the catabolic consequences of diabetes is insulin. However, various studies have demonstrated that the adipocyte-derived hormone leptin can potently lower blood glucose levels in rodent models of insulin-deficient diabetes. In addition, the hormone glucagon is elevated in type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and glucagon suppression therapy has shown promise as an agent to treat diabetes in mice. Given the interest in both of these therapies, leptin treatment and glucagon antagonism were propelled into clinical trials for patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes respectively. The overarching goal of this thesis was to perform preclinical studies to investigate the mechanism of the glucose lowering actions of leptin and the effects of glucagon suppression therapy in mouse models of diabetes. To achieve this, we probed the role of increased leptin action as a result of insulin therapy, determined the function of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-2 (IGFBP2) in the glucose lowering actions of leptin, investigated the necessity of insulin for leptin treatment and glucagon suppression therapy, and explored the potential of glucagon suppression therapy via glucagon receptor (Gcgr) small interfering ribonucleic acid (siRNA) delivered by lipid nanoparticle (LNP) technology. This thesis reveals that elevated leptin levels may contribute to the glucose lowering effect of insulin therapy in insulin-deficient diabetes. In addition, we demonstrate that physiological levels of IGFBP2 are neither sufficient nor required for the action of leptin on glucose homeostasis. Moreover, leptin can normalize many metabolic parameters in the complete absence of insulin, but blood glucose levels are volatile and the length of survival is finite. Furthermore, Gcgr siRNA can improve many diabetic symptoms in mouse models of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Finally, we report that the metabolic manifestations associated with a complete lack of insulin cannot be overcome by Gcgr gene inactivation. Collectively the findings in this thesis contribute insight into the mechanism of action, and the therapeutic potential of leptin administration and glucagon suppression therapy as a treatment for diabetes.

Modeling H2 formation in the turbulent ISM: Solenoidal versus compressive turbulent forcing

description: We present results from high-resolution three-dimensional simulations of the turbulent interstellar medium that study the influence of the nature of the turbulence on the formation of molecular hydrogen. We have examined both solenoidal (divergence-free) and compressive (curl-free) turbulent driving, and show that compressive driving leads to faster H2 formation, owing to the higher peak densities produced in the gas. The difference in the H2 formation rate can be as much as an order of magnitude at early times, but declines at later times as the highest density regions become fully molecular and stop contributing to the total H2 formation rate. We have also used our results to test a simple prescription suggested by Gnedin et al. (2009) for modeling the influence of unresolved density fluctuations on the H2 formation rate in large-scale simulations of the ISM. We find that this approach works well when the H2 fraction is small, but breaks down once the highest density gas becomes fully molecular.

description: We investigate vector perturbations with holonomy corrections in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. Conditions to achieve anomaly freedom for these perturbations are found at all orders. This requires the introduction of counter-terms in the hamiltonian constraint. We also show that anomaly freedom requires the diffeomorphism constraint to hold its classical form when scalar matter is added although the issue of a vector matter source, required for full consistency, remains to be investigated. The gauge-invariant variable and the corresponding equation of motion are derived. The propagation of vector modes through the bounce is finally discussed.

description: The scaling properties of the free energy, the diamagnetic moment, and the diamagnetic susceptibility above the phase transition from the ferromagnetic phase to the phase of coexistence of ferromagnetic order and superconductivity in unconventional ferromagnetic superconductors with spin-triplet (p-wave) electron paring are considered. The crossover from weak to strong magnetic induction is described for both quasi-2D (thin films) and 3D (bulk) superconductors. The singularities of diamagnetic moment and diamagnetic susceptibility are dumped for large variations of the pressure and, hence, such singularities could hardly be observed in experiments. The results are obtained within Gaussian approximation on the basis of general theory of ferromagnetic superconductors with p-wave electron pairing.

Features of Fast Neutrons in Dark Matter Searches

description: Diffractive scattering of "fast" or "high energy" neutrons, can give low energy nuclear recoils in the signal region for dark matter searches. We present a discussion using the 'black disc' model. This permits a simple and general, although approximate, description of this possible background. We note a number of its features. In particular there are mass number A dependent aspects which can be studied in setups where events on different nuclei are observable at the same time. These include the recoil energy distributions, and the A behavior of the cross section. We define a parameter $E^o_R$ which characterizes the recoil energy to be expected due to fast neutrons. It ranges from 100 keV on light nuclei to a few keV on heavy nuclei, and a general treatment is possible in terms of it, within the 'black disc' approximation. In addition, the presence of inelastic processes would be characteristic of fast neutrons.

A Generative Paradigm for Building Generalist Robots: Infrastructure, Scaling, and Policy Learning
Creators: name: Zhou, Xian
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 46
subject: Information and computing sciences

description: Robotics researchers have been attempting to extend data-driven breakthroughs in fields like computer vision and language processing into robot learning. However, unlike vision or language domains where massive amounts of data is readily available on the internet, training robotic policies relies on physical and interactive data collected via interacting with the physical world – a resource-intensive process limited by labor constraints. Such data scarcity has long been a major bottleneck in scaling up robot learning systems, constraining prior efforts to small-scale and task-specific settings. In this thesis, we present a generative paradigm that could potentially lead to general purpose robots by addressing existing limitations. This is achieved through three self-contained yet interdependent lines of work, which, when integrated, collectively form a cohesive and comprehensive paradigm: We propose building comprehensive world simulator infrastructures for modeling the physical world, both learning based and rule-based, to create a virtual yet realistic and powerful world for robotic agents to explore and develop their skills. We present Generative Simulation, a generative framework for autonomously scaling up robotic data generation better leveraging the power of compute, built on top of the world models we built. Traditional policy training in simulation has long been hindered by extensive human effort in designing tasks, assets, environments, training supervisions, and evaluation metrics. We design a robotic agent that automates all stages of simulated robot learning – from initial task proposal to policy training – leading to diverse robotic demonstrations. We present neural network architectures and learning methods for distilling collected demonstration data into unified multi-modal robotic policies, completing the cycle from data generation to effective policy training.

All weather scheduling : towards effective scheduling across the edge, fog and cloud

description: The cloud plays a crucial part in the deployment of many applications today. However, alternative processing layers such as the edge and the fog are increasingly being used in order to meet applications' low-latency requirements, save bandwidth or reduce monetary cost. The rise in edge/fog use means that schedulers that can successfully schedule applications and their tasks across the edge/fog/cloud are a growing area of research interest. However, schedulers to date that have been proposed are limited in their functionality, not being adaptive (in terms of scheduling policies) to changing cluster state, consider applications only as a whole and not their individual task requirements, have been validated on a minimal number of applications, or require significant a-priori knowledge by the end-user of their applications' characteristics and its affinity to resources in their cluster. We present the Weather-Adaptive-Scheduler or WASCH, a novel, data-driven scheduler for the edge/fog/cloud that achieves minimal task makespan for an applications' tasks. WASCH first profiles applications that a user wants to schedule across a cluster of edge/fog/cloud resources, using a set of representative tasks for that application. This data (application/task/node performance metrics) is used by WASCH to build a regression model. This model is then used to predict which resource in the cluster will deliver the minimal makespan of new end-user tasks. WASCH in a new contribution to the state of the art, does all of this automatically without any need for end-user a-priori knowledge of the cluster, the characteristics of an application or affinity of the application to the various resources. Via empirical evaluation of WASCH using 14 diverse, real-life applications, we show that WASCH successfully achieves minimal task makespan for those 14 applications' tasks when compared to two state of the art schedulers only taking an average of 6ms per prediction per resource.

description: In this paper, we present significant progress performed on an experiment dedicated to the determination of the Boltzmann constant, k, by accurately measuring the Doppler absorption profile of a line in a gas of ammonia at thermal equilibrium. This optical method based on the first principles of statistical mechanics is an alternative to the acoustical method which has led to the unique determination of k published by the CODATA with a relative accuracy of 1.7 ppm. We report on the first measurement of the Boltzmann constant by laser spectroscopy with a statistical uncertainty below 10 ppm, more specifically 6.4 ppm. This progress results from improvements in the detection method and in the statistical treatment of the data. In addition, we have recorded the hyperfine structure of the probed saQ(6,3) rovibrational line of ammonia by saturation spectroscopy and thus determine very precisely the induced 4.36 (2) ppm broadening of the absorption linewidth. We also show that, in our well chosen experimental conditions, saturation effects have a negligible impact on the linewidth. Finally, we draw the route to future developments for an absolute determination of with an accuracy of a few ppm.

Investigating the role of protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha in focal adhesion dynamics and cell migration
Creators: name: Dawson, Cassandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: Cell migration is an important phenomenon in many physiological and pathological processes such as wound healing, embryogenesis, and cancer cell metastasis. Integrins bind components of the extracellular matrix and initiate a cascade of intracellular signaling changes that regulate focal adhesion dynamics and reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Focal adhesions are multiprotein complexes that are continuously assembled, remodeled, and disassembled to enable cell migration. Protein tyrosine phosphatase alpha (PTPα) is a receptor-like transmembrane protein that is involved in integrin signaling. In response to integrin stimulation, PTPα mediates Src activation through dephosphorylation of the inhibitory phosphosite of Src. This leads to formation of the Src-FAK complex which in turn phosphorylates PTPα at the Tyr789 site. PTPα-Tyr789 phosphorylation has been demonstrated to be an important event in coordinating focal adhesion formation, cytoskeletal rearrangement, and cell migration. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking PTPα expression or expressing an unphosphorylatable mutant (Y789F) PTPα exhibit impaired focal adhesion formation and cell migration. In this study, I investigated the focal adhesion dynamics and cell migration capabilities of newly generated lines of wild-type and PTPα-deficient MEFs. Although these newly generated cells did not fully recapitulate the previously reported PTPα-dependent focal adhesion dynamics and cell migration defects, I observed that cells lacking PTPα expression exhibited defects in cell polarity and directionality, mechanisms that coordinate migration. My findings suggest that alterations to key signaling components or pathways in these cells may be responsible for coordinating focal adhesion dynamics and cell migration irrespective of PTPα expression.

On admissible tensor products in $p$-adic Hodge theory

Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We prove that if $W$ and $W'$ are two $B$-pairs whose tensor product is crystalline (or semi-stable or de Rham or Hodge-Tate), then there exists a character $μ$ such that $W(μ^{-1})$ and $W'(μ)$ are crystalline (or semi-stable or de Rham or Hodge-Tate). We also prove that if $W$ is a $B$-pair and $F$ is a Schur functor (for example $\Sym^n(-)$ or $Λ^n(-)$) such that $F(W)$ is crystalline (or semi-stable or de Rham or Hodge-Tate) and if the rank of $W$ is sufficiently large, then there is a character $μ$ such that $W(μ^{-1})$ is crystalline (or semi-stable or de Rham or Hodge-Tate). In particular, these results apply to $p$-adic representations.

Operator Regularization of Feynman diagrams at multi-loop order
Creators: name: Shiekh, A. Y.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It may be possible to use operator regularization with Feynman diagrams, which would greatly simplify its use as it has so far been limited to the more complicated Schwinger approach. Operator regularization, unlike $ζ$-function regularization, is not limited to one-loop order, and preserves supersymmetry unlike dimensional regularization. In practice the use of operator regularization in the context of Feynman diagrams is found not to complicate the calculation.

description: In this short note we give a complete characterization of a certain class of compact corank one Poisson manifolds, those equipped with a closed one-form defining the symplectic foliation and a closed two-form extending the symplectic form on each leaf. If such a manifold has a compact leaf, then all the leaves are compact, and furthermore the manifold is a mapping torus of a compact leaf. These manifolds and their regular Poisson structures admit an extension as the critical hypersurface of a Poisson b-manifold as we consider in a later paper.
