description: Speocera songae, new species (Figs. 9A–D, 10) Material examined. – Holotype: female (IZCAS), Luobi Cave (18 ° 20'N 109 ° 33'E), Lizhigou Town, Sanya City, Hainan Island, China, coll. Y. Song, 10–11 Apr.2005. Paratypes: 6 females (IZCAS), same data as holotype.  Diagnosis. – The new species is similar to the female of S. leclerci Deeleman-Reinhold, 1995, but can be distinguished by the presence of eyes, the straight metatarsus IV, and the larger body size.  Remarks. – Most genera of Ochyroceratidae are frequently met in caves, yet most of them do not show any morphological adaptations. The pale body color and especially the long legs of this new species are typical morphological adaptation to cave environment.  Description. – Females: Total length 1.36–1.39. Carapace 0.59–0.62 long, 0.46–0.48 wide; abdomen 0.76–0.80 long, 0.53–0.58 wide. Carapace pale yellow without pattern, only near the eyes with some pigment, but nearly absent in one specimen. Sternum, abdomen and legs pale yellow. Chelicerae unmodified. Legs spineless, metatarsus IV as in S. leclerci, distally provided with three pairs of small strong setae ventrally, but straight. Leg measurements: I 3.43 (1.02, 0.19, 1.09, 0.78, 0.35); II 3.15 (0.98, 0.18, 0.94, 0.70, 0.35); III 2.70 (0.82, 0.19, 0.73, 0.64, 0.32); IV 3.53 (1.08, 0.19, 1.05, 0.85, 0.36). Leg formula: 4 1 2 3. Palp measurements: 0.62 (0.20, 0.09, 0.15, 0.18). Chitinous ducts very long, surrounding the abdomen. Male: Unknown.  Etymology. – The species is named after the collector Mrs. Yanjing Song (Y. Song, IZCAS).

The environmental roots of zoonotic diseases: from SARS-CoV-2 to cancer viruses. A review.
Creators: name: Modonesi, Carlo
Publisher: name: Visions for Sustainability
Year: 2020

description: The destruction of natural habitats and change in land use contribute to biodiversity loss by increasing species extinction and weakening the functions of ecosystems. Ecosystems often are unsafe for humans because animals that host viruses or other pathogens become dominant within impoverished biological communities. The risk of infection propagation from one animal species to other species depends on the size of the reservoir population and the “ability” of pathogen to spillover: an event that is more likely to occur in phylogenetically related hosts. Zoonotic spillover is the transmission of pathogens to humans from vertebrate animals. If human activities contributing to the alteration of ecosystems do not slow down, the critical state of biodiversity can turn into an important driver of emerging pathogens, including viruses involved in neoplastic diseases. A radical reform of the current growth-based economic model is urgently needed to counter the unsustainable human pressure on the natural environment and the risk of new pandemics.

description: Motivated by the recent results from Daya Bay, Reno and Double Chooz Collaborations, we study the consequences of small departures from exact $μ-τ$ symmetry in the neutrino sector, to accommodate a non-vanishing value of the element $V_{e3}$ from the leptonic mixing matrix. Within the see-saw framework, we identify simple patterns of Dirac mass matrices that lead to approximate $μ-τ$ symmetric neutrino mass matrices, which are consistent with the neutrino oscillation data and lead to non-vanishing mixing angle $V_{e3}$ as well as precise predictions for the CP violating phases. We also show that there is a transparent link between neutrino mixing angles and see-saw parameters, which we further explore within the context of leptogenesis as well as double beta decay phenomenology.

description: With the recently published Cosmic Microwave Background data from Planck we address the optimized binning of the primordial power spectrum. As an important modification to the usual binning of the primordial spectrum, along with the spectral amplitude of the bins, we allow the position of the bins also to vary. This technique enables us to address the location of the possible broad physical features in the primordial spectrum with relatively smaller number of bins compared to the analysis performed earlier. This approach is in fact a reconstruction method looking for broad features in the primordial spectrum and avoiding fitting noise in the data. Performing Markov Chain Monte Carlo analysis we present samples of the allowed primordial spectra with broad features consistent with Planck data. To test how realistic it is to have step-like features in primordial spectrum we revisit an inflationary model, proposed by A. A. Starobinsky which can address the similar features obtained from the binning of the spectrum. Using the publicly available code BINGO, we numerically calculate the local $f_{\rm NL}$ for this model in equilateral and arbitrary triangular configurations of wavevectors and show that the obtained non-Gaussianity for this model is consistent with Planck results. In this paper we have also considered different spectral tilts at different bins to identify the cosmological scale that the spectral index needs to have a red tilt and it is interesting to report that spectral index cannot be well constrained up to $k \sim 0.01~ {\rm Mpc}^{-1}$.

description: The $H_\infty$ control design problem is considered for nonlinear systems with unknown internal system model. It is known that the nonlinear $ H_\infty $ control problem can be transformed into solving the so-called Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) equation, which is a nonlinear partial differential equation that is generally impossible to be solved analytically. Even worse, model-based approaches cannot be used for approximately solving HJI equation, when the accurate system model is unavailable or costly to obtain in practice. To overcome these difficulties, an off-policy reinforcement leaning (RL) method is introduced to learn the solution of HJI equation from real system data instead of mathematical system model, and its convergence is proved. In the off-policy RL method, the system data can be generated with arbitrary policies rather than the evaluating policy, which is extremely important and promising for practical systems. For implementation purpose, a neural network (NN) based actor-critic structure is employed and a least-square NN weight update algorithm is derived based on the method of weighted residuals. Finally, the developed NN-based off-policy RL method is tested on a linear F16 aircraft plant, and further applied to a rotational/translational actuator system.

description: The incidence of young-onset colorectal cancer (yCRC) has been increasing in recent decades, but little is known about the gut microbiome of these patients. Most studies have focused on old-onset CRC (oCRC), and it remains unclear whether CRC signatures derived from old patients are valid in young patients. To address this, we assembled the largest yCRC gut metagenomes to date from two independent cohorts and found that the CRC microbiome was not associated with age across adulthood. Differential analysis revealed that well-known CRC-associated taxa, such as Clostridium symbiosum, Peptostrptococcus stomatis, Parvimonas micra and Hungatella hathewayi, were significantly enriched (false discovery rate<0.05) in old- and young-onset patients. Almost all oCRC-associated metagenomic pathways had directionally concordant changes in young patients. Moreover, the microbiome-based classification model had comparable predication accuracy for CRC status in old- and young-onset patients. Our study identifies generalizable microbial signatures of CRC and provides a basis for accurate microbial prediction for all adults.

description: We study microwave radiation emitted by a small voltage-biased Josephson junction connected to a superconducting transmission line. An input-output formalism for the radiation field is established, using a perturbation expansion in the junction's critical current. Using output field operators solved up to the second order, we estimate the spectral density and the second-order coherence of the emitted field. For typical transmission line impedances and at frequencies below the main emission peak at the Josephson frequency, radiation occurs predominantly due to two-photon emission. This emission is characterized by a high degree of photon bunching if detected symmetrically around half of the Josephson frequency. Strong phase fluctuations in the transmission line make related nonclassical phase-dependent amplitude correlations short lived, and there is no steady-state two-mode squeezing. However, the radiation is shown to violate the classical Cauchy-Schwarz inequality of intensity cross-correlations, demonstrating the nonclassicality of the photon pair production in this region.

description: Zentraler Forschungsgegenstand der evolutorischen Ordnungsökonomik sind Prozesse der Selbstorganisation (spontane Ordnung) in komplex adaptiven gesellschaftlichen Systemen. Solche Prozesse lassen sich auf drei Ebenen beobachten: der Ebene der Spielregeln (Normen und Institutionen), der Ebene der Handelnsordnung, die sich unter diesen Spielregeln bildet, und der Ebene der Interdependenz von Spielregeln und Handelnsordnung. Der Beitrag erläutert das Konzept der „Ordnung“, beschreibt Arten der Handelnsordnung, diskutiert den Ursprung der für die Bildung von Handelnsordnungen zentralen Vorhersagbarkeit des Verhaltens von eingeschränkt rationalen Akteuren und zeigt anhand des Entstehens einer Konvention die evolutorische Ordnungsökonomik bei der „Arbeit“. Anschließend wird der Zusammenhang zwischen spontaner Ordnung und den Transaktionskosten untersucht und der sogenannte Koordinationsansatz skizziert. Nach dem Koordinationsansatz stellt findiges Unternehmertum Ordnung her, indem es Koordinationslücken entdeckt und diese durch Arbitrage (auch über die Schaffung von Normen und Institutionen) schließt. Den Abschluss bilden Überlegungen zur Ordnungspolitik.

When the flow hypersurfaces are strictly convex we establish a relation between the contracting hypersurfaces and the expanding hypersurfaces which is given by the Gauß map. The contracting hypersurfaces shrink to a point $x_0$ while the expanding hypersurfaces converge to the equator of the hemisphere $\mc H(-x_0)$. After rescaling, by the same scale factor, the rescaled hypersurfaces converge to the unit spheres with centers $x_0$ \resp $-x_0$ exponentially fast in $C^\un(\Ss[n])$.

We confirm an unexpected high value of $U_0$ by calculating the mean for stars with orbits sufficiently inclined to the Galactic plane that they do not participate in bulk streaming motions. Our best estimate of the solar motion with respect to the LSR $(U_0, V_0, W_0) = (14.1 \pm 1.1, 14.6 \pm 0.4, 6.9 \pm 0.1)$ km\ s$^{-1}$.

description: Highly luminescent indium phosphide zinc sulfide (InPZnS) quantum dots (QDs), with zinc selenide/zinc sulfide (ZnSe/ZnS) shells, were synthesized. The QDs were modified via a post-synthetic ligand exchange reaction with 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA) and 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) in different MPA:MUA ratios, making this study the first investigation into the effects of mixed ligand shells on InPZnS QDs. Moreover, this article also describes an optimized method for the correlation of the QD size vs. optical absorption of the QDs. Upon ligand exchange, the QDs can be dispersed in water. Longer ligands (MUA) provide more stable dispersions than short-chain ligands. Thicker ZnSe/ZnS shells provide a better photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and higher emission stability upon ligand exchange. Both the ligand exchange and the optical properties are highly reproducible between different QD batches. Before dialysis, QDs with a ZnS shell thickness of ~4.9 monolayers (ML), stabilized with a mixed MPA:MUA (mixing ratio of 1:10), showed the highest PLQY, at ~45%. After dialysis, QDs with a ZnS shell thickness of ~4.9 ML, stabilized with a mixed MPA:MUA and a ratio of 1:10 and 1:100, showed the highest PLQYs, of ~41%. The dispersions were stable up to 44 days at ambient conditions and in the dark. After 44 days, QDs with a ZnS shell thickness of ~4.9 ML, stabilized with only MUA, showed the highest PLQY, of ~34%.

description: We present a theoretical study of the spin-valley blockade transport effect in a double quantum dot defined in a straight carbon nanotube. We find that intervalley scattering due to short-range impurities completely lifts the spin-valley blockade and induces a large leakage current in a certain confined range of the external magnetic field vector. This current hot spot emerges due to different effective magnetic fields acting on the spin-valley qubit states of the two quantum dots. Our predictions are compared to a recent measurement [F. Pei et al., Nat. Nanotech. 7, 630 (2012)]. We discuss the implications for blockade-based schemes for qubit initialization/readout, and motion sensing of nanotube-based mechanical resonators.

Il volume è costituito dagli atti del secondo convegno sulle Mura Aureliane, organizzato nell’ottobre 2017 dalle Università di Roma Sapienza, Tor Vergata e RomaTre in collaborazione con la Sovrintendenza Capitolina ai Beni culturali. L’ambito di analisi del complesso palinsesto di fasi storiche e murarie rappresentato dalle mura di Roma è limitato, in questo volume, tra il sostanziale restauro degli inizi del V secolo, promosso dagli imperatori Onorio e Arcadio, su suggerimento del generale Stilicone, e i lavori del pontefice Niccolò V (1447-1455). I diciassette studi presentati, preceduti da un’introduzione e seguiti dalle note conclusive di Paolo Delogu, sono raccolti in due sezioni distinte, la prima con presentazioni più generali (Fonti, tecniche e riusi), la seconda (Cronache dalle mura) con analisi specifiche e inedite su settori circoscritti del circuito murario, su alcune delle porte e su strutture accessorie alle mura stesse, ordinati in successione topografica. Nell’insieme si tratta di un contributo sostanziale alla conoscenza della cinta aurelianea nel Medioevo, contributo che si avvale prevalentemente di revisioni monumentali di tipo archeologico e architettonico, spesso con l’ausilio di rilievi diretti e l’applicazione delle metodologie di lettura stratigrafica degli elevati.

description: Provenance is an increasing concern due to the ongoing revolution in sharing and processing scientific data on the Web and in other computer systems. It is proposed that many computer systems will need to become provenance-aware in order to provide satisfactory accountability, reproducibility, and trust for scientific or other high-value data. To date, there is not a consensus concerning appropriate formal models or security properties for provenance. In previous work, we introduced a formal framework for provenance security and proposed formal definitions of properties called disclosure and obfuscation. In this article, we study refined notions of positive and negative disclosure and obfuscation in a concrete setting, that of a general-purpose programing language. Previous models of provenance have focused on special-purpose languages such as workflows and database queries. We consider a higher-order, functional language with sums, products, and recursive types and functions, and equip it with a tracing semantics in which traces themselves can be replayed as computations. We present an annotation-propagation framework that supports many provenance views over traces, including standard forms of provenance studied previously. We investigate some relationships among provenance views and develop some partial solutions to the disclosure and obfuscation problems, including correct algorithms for disclosure and positive obfuscation based on trace slicing.

description: We investigate a compressive sensing framework in which the sensors introduce a distortion to the measurements in the form of unknown gains. We focus on blind calibration, using measures performed on multiple unknown (but sparse) signals and formulate the joint recovery of the gains and the sparse signals as a convex optimization problem. We divide this problem in 3 subproblems with different conditions on the gains, specifially (i) gains with different amplitude and the same phase, (ii) gains with the same amplitude and different phase and (iii) gains with different amplitude and phase. In order to solve the first case, we propose an extension to the basis pursuit optimization which can estimate the unknown gains along with the unknown sparse signals. For the second case, we formulate a quadratic approach that eliminates the unknown phase shifts and retrieves the unknown sparse signals. An alternative form of this approach is also formulated to reduce complexity and memory requirements and provide scalability with respect to the number of input signals. Finally for the third case, we propose a formulation that combines the earlier two approaches to solve the problem. The performance of the proposed algorithms is investigated extensively through numerical simulations, which demonstrates that simultaneous signal recovery and calibration is possible with convex methods when sufficiently many (unknown, but sparse) calibrating signals are provided.

description: The thermodynamic phase space of Gauss-Bonnet (GB) AdS black holes is extended, taking the inverse of the GB coupling constant as a new thermodynamic pressure $P_{\mathrm{GB}}$. We studied the critical behavior associated with $P_{\mathrm{GB}}$ in the extended thermodynamic phase space at fixed cosmological constant and electric charge. The result shows that when the black holes are neutral, the associated critical points can only exist in five dimensional GB-AdS black holes with spherical topology, and the corresponding critical exponents are identical to those for Van der Waals system. For charged GB-AdS black holes, it is shown that there can be only one critical point in five dimensions (for black holes with either spherical or hyperbolic topologies), which also requires the electric charge to be bounded within some appropriate range; while in $d>5$ dimensions, there can be up to two different critical points at the same electric charge, and the phase transition can occur only at temperatures which are not in between the two critical values.

title: Element-free numerical modeling with discrete gradient and its application to crystal defects

description: The gradient operation has been extended to discrete data in terms of nodal coordinates. On this ground, the nodal strains and related stresses are expressed directly in terms of nodal displacements and the stress divergence in terms of nodal stresses. To make use of truly discrete modeling in computational solid mechanics, the stress balance equation is formulated. For a case study, the latter is applied to an edge dislocation where atom positions of a dislocated crystal are taken for nodal points. Both the resulting stress level at the dislocation core close to the theoretical strength and the corresponding core dimensions prove to be realistic physically, whereas the long-range nodal stresses asymptotically approach the virtual continuous fields known in an analytical form.

description: Drug rotation (cycling), in which multiple drugs are administrated alternatively, has the potential for limiting resistance evolution in pathogens. The frequency of drug alternation could be a major factor to determine the effectiveness of drug rotation. Drug rotation practices often have low frequency of drug alternation, with an expectation of resistance reversion. Here we, based on evolutionary rescue and compensatory evolution theories, suggest that fast drug rotation can limit resistance evolution in the first place. This is because fast drug rotation would give little time for the evolutionarily rescued populations to recover in population size and genetic diversity, and thus decrease the chance of future evolutionary rescue under alternate environmental stresses. We experimentally tested this hypothesis using the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens and two antibiotics (chloramphenicol and rifampin). Increasing drug rotation frequency reduced the chance of evolutionary rescue, and most of the final surviving bacterial populations are resistant to both drugs. Drug resistance incurred significant fitness costs, which did not differ among the drug treatment histories. A link between population sizes during the early stages of drug treatment and the end-point fates of populations (extinction versus survival) suggested that population size recovery and compensatory evolution before drug shift increase the chance of population survival. Our results therefore advocate fast drug rotation as a promising approach to reduce bacterial resistance evolution, which in particular could be a substitute for drug mixing when the latter has safety risks.

description: Secondary eclipse spectroscopy provides invaluable insights into the temperatures and compositions of exoplanetary atmospheres. We carry out a systematic temperature and abundance retrieval analysis of nine exoplanets (HD189733b, HD209458b, HD149026b, GJ436b, WASP-12b, WASP-19b, WASP-43b, TrES-2b, and TrES-3b) observed in secondary eclipse using a combination of space- and ground-based facilities. Our goal with this analysis is to provide a consistent set of temperatures and compositions from which self-consistent models can be compared and to probe the underlying processes that shape these atmospheres. This paper is the second in a three part series of papers exploring the retrievability of temperatures and abundances from secondary eclipse spectra and the implications of these results for the chemistry of exoplanet atmospheres. In this investigation we present a catalogue of temperatures and abundances for H$_2$O, CH$_4$, CO, and CO$_2$. We find that our temperatures and abundances are generally consistent with those of previous studies, although we do not find any statistically convincing evidence for super-solar C to O ratios (e.g., solar C/O falls in the 1-sigma confidence intervals in eight of the nine planets in our sample). Furthermore, within our sample we find little evidence for thermal inversions over a wide range of effective temperatures (with the exception of HD209458b), consistent with previous investigations. The lack of evidence for inversions for most planets in our sample over such a wide range of effective temperatures provides additional support for the hypothesis that TiO is unlikely to be the absorber responsible for the formation of these inversions.

description: In electron field emission experiments, a linear relationship in plots of slope vs. intercept obtained from Fowler-Nordheim analysis is commonly observed for single tips or tip arrays. By simulating samples with many tips, it is shown here that the observed linear relationship results from the distribution of input parameters, assuming a log-normal distribution for the radius of each tip. Typically, a shift from the lower-left to the upper-right of a slope-intercept plot has been correlated with a shift in work function. However, as shown in this paper, the same effect can result from a variation in the number of emitters.

description: Der Wirkungszusammenhang zwischen der Stabilität/Fragilität der (europäischen) Finanzsysteme und den herrschenden Wettbewerbsverhältnissen ist seit der Finanzkrise 2008 und verstärkt auch in der gegenwärtigen Corona-Krise Gegenstand des wissenschaftlichen und wirtschaftspolitischen Diskurses um (zu) fragmentierte Märkte und Banken im Status „Too-Big-To-Fail“. Dabei stehen sich in Theorie wie Empirie zwei fundamental konträre Kausalkonzepte (Wettbewerbs-Stabilitäts-/-Fragilitäts-Hypothese) gegenüber, deren elementare wie komplexe Basis die präzise Messung des Wettbewerbsgrades ist. Aufbauend auf dem jüngsten Forschungsstand kann dahingehend einerseits gezeigt werden, dass per se alternative Wettbewerbsmaße regelmäßig signifikant unterschiedliche Konkurrenzverhältnisse ausweisen und so andererseits auf nachgelagerter, ordnungspolitischer Ebene die Evidenz für oder gegen einen stabilitätsfördernden Wettbewerbseffekt über die Wahl der Messmethode prädeterminiert wird.

description: The goal of the evaluation of the current review is to offer a report on toxic vegetation with healthful properties and plants that are accustomed to treat infectious agent diseases (antiviral properties). Use of plants is as old as mankind, even then poisonous plants come under the most underrated category of plants all over the world and used less often due to folklores about their adverse effects. Knowledge of poisonous plants is important as some of them are useful to treat remedies. The poisonous feature of plants is due to the production of toxic substance which includes alkaloids, amines, saponins, tannins, etc. To illustrate improved affinity and effectiveness for health endorsement, they should be explored more. Along with the medicinal impact of the plants against various diseases, they are also used to treat viral diseases. Antiviral property is the most common medicinal asset of poisonous floras and used since ancient times. Natural treatment is cheap and claimed to be safe. Long ago, the investigation into antiviral action of assorted capable plants was restricted due to the extremely communicable nature of viruses and deficiency of applicable separation procedures for the documentation of antiviral plants from other plants. As we know that, Viruses nowadays, lead to situations of pandemics all over the world. This bibliographic analysis is therefore compendium of information on plants used for the treatment of viral sicknesses.

description: By the research programme 'Investigations into the effect of speed on important printing process factors in rotogravure presses,' the Institut für Druckmaschinen und Druckverfahren (Institute for Printing Machines and Printing Processes), Darmstadt, proposes to solve important problems arising from the tendencies towards an increase in machine speed and automation in rotary gravure printing. Above all, the results will provide the designer with data for the optimum dimensioning of important parts and the most advantageous design of different units. In addition, by investigating various disruptive factors in the printing process, pointers towards eliminating or favourably influencing them can be obtained. A specially developed experimental printing unit with numerous test possibilities is available; this unit also meets the requirements involved in the actual production process. It is designed for a maximum speed of 30000 r.p.h. and has two plate cylinders of 550 mm (21 +~ in) and 1 100 mm (43 in) circumference.

description: We show that every bridgeless cubic graph $G$ on $n$ vertices other than the Petersen graph has a 2-factor with at most $2(n-2)/15$ circuits of length $5$. An infinite family of graphs attains this bound. We also show that $G$ has a 2-factor with at most $n/5.8\overline{3}$ odd circuits. This improves the previously known bound of $n/5.41$ [Lukoťka, Máčajová, Mazák, Škoviera: Small snarks with large oddness, arXiv:1212.3641 [cs.DM] ].

description: Background and Objective Tigecycline, a broad-spectrum glycylcycline antibiotic, is approved for use at a fixed dose irrespective of body weight. However, its pharmacokinetics may be altered in obesity, which would impact on the antibiotic's effectiveness. The objective of this study was to investigate the plasma and subcutaneous tissue concentrations of tigecycline in obese patients compared with those in a non-obese control group. Methods Fifteen obese patients (one class II and 14 class III) undergoing bariatric surgery and 15 non-obese patients undergoing intra-abdominal surgery (mainly tumour resection) received a single dose of 50 or 100 mg tigecycline as an intravenous short infusion. Tigecycline concentrations were measured up to 8 h after dosing in plasma (total concentration), in ultrafiltrate of plasma (free concentration), and in microdialysate from subcutaneous tissue, respectively. Results In obese patients, total peak plasma concentration (1.31 +/- 0.50 vs 2.27 +/- 1.40 mg/L) and the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to 8 h (AUC(8h,plasma): 2.15 +/- 0.42 vs 2.74 +/- 0.73 h.mg/L), as normalized to a 100 mg dose, were significantly lower compared with those of non-obese patients. No significant differences were observed regarding the free plasma concentration, as determined by ultrafiltration, or the corresponding AUC(8h) (fAUC(8h,plasma)). Concentrations in interstitial fluid (ISF) of subcutaneous tissue were lower than the free plasma concentrations in both groups, and they were lower in obese compared to non-obese patients: the AUC(8h) in ISF (AUC(8h,ISF)) was 0.51 +/- 0.22 h.mg/L in obese and 0.79 +/- 0.23 h.mg/L in non-obese patients, resulting in a relative tissue drug exposure (AUC(8h,ISF)/fAUC(8h,plasma)) of 0.38 +/- 0.19 and 0.63 +/- 0.24, respectively. Conclusion Following a single dose of tigecycline, concentrations in the ISF of subcutaneous adipose tissue are decreased in heavily obese subjects, calling for an increased loading dose.

description: Quantum key distribution uses public discussion protocols to establish shared secret keys. In the exploration of ultimate limits to such protocols, the property of symmetric extendibility of underlying bipartite states $ρ_{AB}$ plays an important role. A bipartite state $ρ_{AB}$ is symmetric extendible if there exits a tripartite state $ρ_{ABB'}$, such that the $AB$ marginal state is identical to the $AB'$ marginal state, i.e. $ρ_{AB'}=ρ_{AB}$. For a symmetric extendible state $ρ_{AB}$, the first task of the public discussion protocol is to break this symmetric extendibility. Therefore to characterize all bi-partite quantum states that possess symmetric extensions is of vital importance. We prove a simple analytical formula that a two-qubit state $ρ_{AB}$ admits a symmetric extension if and only if $\tr(ρ_B^2)\geq \tr(ρ_{AB}^2)-4\sqrt{\det{ρ_{AB}}}$. Given the intimate relationship between the symmetric extension problem and the quantum marginal problem, our result also provides the first analytical necessary and sufficient condition for the quantum marginal problem with overlapping marginals.
