description: With the success of the graph embedding model in both academic and industry areas, the robustness of graph embedding against adversarial attack inevitably becomes a crucial problem in graph learning. Existing works usually perform the attack in a white-box fashion: they need to access the predictions/labels to construct their adversarial loss. However, the inaccessibility of predictions/labels makes the white-box attack impractical to a real graph learning system. This paper promotes current frameworks in a more general and flexible sense -- we demand to attack various kinds of graph embedding models with black-box driven. We investigate the theoretical connections between graph signal processing and graph embedding models and formulate the graph embedding model as a general graph signal process with a corresponding graph filter. Therefore, we design a generalized adversarial attacker: GF-Attack. Without accessing any labels and model predictions, GF-Attack can perform the attack directly on the graph filter in a black-box fashion. We further prove that GF-Attack can perform an effective attack without knowing the number of layers of graph embedding models. To validate the generalization of GF-Attack, we construct the attacker on four popular graph embedding models. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of GF-Attack on several benchmark datasets.

description: We study the effect of non-vanishing masses and mixings among neutrino flavours on the detection of neutrinos from stellar collapse by a water Cerenkov detector. We consider a frame-work in which there are four neutrino flavours, including a sterile neutrino, whose mass squared differences and mixings are constrained by the present understanding of solar, atmospheric and laboratory neutrino detection. We also include the effects of high density matter within the supernova core. Unlike in the three flavour scenario, we find that the number of events due to the dominant process involving electron-antineutrinos changes dramatically for some allowed mixing parameters. Furthermore, contributions from charged-current scattering off oxygen nuclei in the detector can be considerably enhanced due to flavour mixing. We also present a comparison between the two possible scenarios, namely, when only three active neutrino flavours are present and when they are accompanied by a fourth sterile neutrino.

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: We study the scalar and tensor integrals associated with the pentabox topology: the class of two-loop box integrals with seven propagators - five in one loop and three in the other. We focus on the case where the external legs are light-like and use integration-by-parts identities to express the scalar integral in terms of two master-topology integrals and present an explicit analytic expression for the pentabox scalar integral as a series expansion in ep = (4-D)/2. We also give an algorithm based on integration by parts for relating the generic tensor integrals to the same two master integrals and provide general formulae describing the master integrals in arbitrary dimension and with general powers of propagators.

description: The research status and hotspots in the field of corneal cross linking (CXL) can benefit clinicians, researchers and the general public. The purpose of this study was to map the publishing trend on CXL research and explore the research hotspots. A bibliometric analysis was performed using the Web of Science Core Collection to investigate the publishing trend on CXL research. VOSviewer was used to build the knowledge map to visualise the number of annual publications, distribution of countries and institutions, international cooperation, author productivity, source journals and research hotspots in the field of CXL. A total of 2061 peer-reviewed articles on CXL research were collected from 2001 to 2020, and the annual research production increased over time. The United States was the country with the largest number of published articles, and the University of Zurich was the most active institution. Hafezi F published the largest number of articles on CXL, while Cornea was the journal with the largest number of studies on CXL. The most frequently cited references mainly focus on CXL in the treatment of keratoconus. The keywords were divided in 5 categories: 1) CXL mechanism, 2) ectasia diseases and refractive surgery, 3) corneal biomechanics, 4) efficacy evaluation, 5) treatment of infectious keratitis. The quantity and quality of articles on CXL were evaluated using bibliometric techniques by extracting the data from the Web of Science Core Collection. The research hotspots could provide insights on CXL research, providing valuable information for clinicians to perform research in this field and find potential partners.

description: The methanolic extract of Callyspongia samarensis (MCS) significantly inhibited β-secretase 1 (IC50 99.82 µg/mL) in a dose-dependent manner and demonstrated a noncompetitive type of inhibition. Furthermore, it exhibited the highest AMPK activation (EC50 14.47 μg/mL) as compared with the standard, Aspirin (EC50 >100 μg/mL). HPLC/ESI-MS analysis of MCS extract revealed 15 peaks, in which nine peaks demonstrated similar fragmentation pattern with the known compounds in literature and in database library: 5-aminopentanoic acid (1), 4-aminobutanoic acid (3), Luotonin A (4), (E)-3-(1H-imidazol-5-yl) prop-2-enoic acid (8), Galactosphingosine (10), D-sphingosine (11), 5,7,4′-trihydroxy-3′,5′-dimethoxyflavone (12), hydroxydihydrovolide (13), and 3,5-dibromo-4-methoxyphenylpyruvic acid (14); and 6 peaks are not identified (2, 5–7, 9, and 15). Acute oral toxicity test of MCS extract revealed that it is nontoxic, with an LD50 of >2000 mg/kg. Assessment of BBB permeability of MCS extract showed that compound 15 was able to cross the BBB making it a suitable candidate for developing CNS drugs.
Unconstrained Hamiltonian Formulation of SU(2) Gluodynamics

description: SU(2) Yang-Mills field theory is considered in the framework of the generalized Hamiltonian approach and the equivalent unconstrained system is obtained using the method of Hamiltonian reduction. A canonical transformation to a set of adapted coordinates is performed in terms of which the Abelianization of the Gauss law constraints reduces to an algebraic operation and the pure gauge degrees of freedom drop out from the Hamiltonian after projection onto the constraint shell. For the remaining gauge invariant fields two representations are introduced where the three fields which transform as scalars under spatial rotations are separated from the three rotational fields. An effective low energy nonlinear sigma model type Lagrangian is derived which out of the six physical fields involves only one of the three scalar fields and two rotational fields summarized in a unit vector. Its possible relation to the effective Lagrangian proposed recently by Faddeev and Niemi is discussed. Finally the unconstrained analog of the well-known nonnormalizable groundstate wave functional which solves the Schrödinger equation with zero energy is given and analysed in the strong coupling limit.

Analyse moléculaire

description: Contexte et objectif. Les infections à Clostridioides difficile sont la première cause de diarrhée infectieuse bactérienne nosocomiale chez l’adulte. Compte tenu du risque de transmission croisée, il est important de surveiller leur incidence et de détecter la survenue de cas groupés dans les unités de soins. Ces cas groupés sont investigués pour déterminer s’il s’agit d’une épidémie (transmission croisée) ou de cas non liés. Matériel et méthodes. Cette étude prospective inclut tous les résultats de prélèvements microbiologiques positifs en culture à C. difficile du centre hospitalier universitaire de Reims de 2012 à 2022. Chaque cas de C. difficile détecté au laboratoire de bactériologie est investigué par l’équipe opérationnelle d’hygiène à l’aide d’une grille de recueil. Les cas groupés au sein d’une même unité sont ensuite analysés au laboratoire de bactériologie par comparaison génomique des souches par PCR-RAPD, afin d’affirmer ou non l’épidémie. Résultats. Sur les 235 cas groupés de ces onze dernières années, on retrouve seulement 43 épisodes épidémiques (149 épisodes non épidémiques et 43 épisodes d’origine indéterminée), permettant d’éliminer une transmission croisée dans 63% des cas. Conclusion. L’élimination d’une transmission croisée dans 63% des cas grâce à la comparaison génomique conforte les équipes de soins dans leurs pratiques et contribue à cibler les services dans lesquels une intervention est nécessaire pour revoir l’application des précautions complémentaires.

description: The progress of nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery has been hindered by an inability toestablish structure-activity relationships in vivo. Here, using stable, monosized, radiolabeled,mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs), we apply an integrated SPECT/CT imaging andmathematical modeling approach to understand the combined effects of MSN size, surfacechemistry and routes of administration on biodistribution and clearance kinetics in healthyrats. We show that increased particle size from ~32- to ~142-nm results in a monotonicdecrease in systemic bioavailability, irrespective of route of administration, with correspondingaccumulation in liver and spleen. Cationic MSNs with surface exposed amines (PEI)have reduced circulation, compared to MSNs of identical size and charge but with shieldedamines (QA), due to rapid sequestration into liver and spleen. However, QA show greatertotal excretion than PEI and their size-matched neutral counterparts (TMS). Overall, weprovide important predictive functional correlations to support the rational design ofnanomedicines.

The spectrum consists of soft X-ray blackbody emission of an optically thick accretion disk in the vicinity of a black hole and a power law with an energy index alpha around 1.2-1.5 extending to at least several hundred keV. In the spectra, we find the presence of strong Compton reflection, which probably comes from the disk.

description: The effect of ice storage on the chemical composition of fat greenling and black rockfish, especially their lipid quality were evaluated. Both physical and biochemical changes occurred during ice storage, resulting in increased moisture content, free fatty acid (FFA), acid values (AV), peroxide values (POV), thiobarbituric acid values (TBARS), and increased activities of lipases and lipoxygenase. Decreases in the ash, protein, phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE), triacylglycerol (TAG), and fatty acid contents were also observed. The decreased PC, PE, and TAG values, together with the increased amount of AV and each FFA as well as lipases activity indicated the hydrolysis of lipids induced by lipases. In addition, the increased POV and TBARS as well as lipoxygenase activities, together with the decrease in the fatty acid contents, point to the lipoxygenase-assisted oxidation of lipids. Based on the increase rate of the total volatile basic nitrogen and FFA as well as the decreased rate of the PC, PE, TAG, saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fatty acids during ice storage, black rockfish was more prone to spoilage, less sensitive to hydrolysis, and more sensitive to oxidation compared to fat greenling.

description: A gauge theory with 4 physical dimensions can be consistently expressed as a renormalizable topological quantum field theory in 5 dimensions. We extend the symmetries in the 5-dimensional framework to include not only a topological BRST operator S that encodes the invisibility of the "bulk" (the fifth dimension), but also a gauge BRST operator W that encodes gauge-invariance and selects observables. These symmetries provide a rich structure of Ward identities which assure the renormalizability of the theory, including non-renormalization theorems. The 5-dimensional approach considerably simplifies conceptual questions such as for instance the Gribov phenomenon and fermion doubling. A confinement scenario in the 5-dimensional framework is sketched. We detail the five-dimensional mechanism of anomalies, and we exhibit a natural lattice discretization that is free of fermion doubling.

description: We review the determination of the QED coupling at the Z pole, which is a crucial parameter for electroweak theory. We include recent e+e- -> hadron data from Novosibirsk and Beijing to re-evaluate alpha (M_Z^2). We find 1/alpha (M_Z^2) = 128.973 +/- 0.035 or 128.934 +/- 0.040 according, respectively, to whether inclusive or exclusive e+e- -> hadron data are used in the interval 1.4 < \sqrt{s} < 2.1 GeV. The error is mainly due to uncertainties in the data in the low energy region, \sqrt{s} < 2.5 GeV. We find that no advantage is obtained by analytic continuation of the dispersion relation into the complex s plane. We show that the hints of structure for \sqrt{s} ~ 2.5 GeV may be evidence of a non-perturbative gluonic contribution to R(s).

description: Soil microbiota is associated with plant growth and nutrition. Investigation of plant–soil interaction is essential for revealing the changes of microbial dynamics in the soil. Vegetation types and human activities, such as agriculture, had severely affected soil microbial structure and function. In this study, 16S rRNA were analysed to identify microbial structures in the soil. The total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) in these soil samples were also analysed. TOC and TN in these soil samples were different, which might be due to different vegetation types. The main phyla in these soil samples were Actinobacteria, Proteobacteria and Acidobacteria. Furthermore, the genera in these soil groups were highly diverse, and most of the bacteria could not be assigned to any known genus. This indicated the presence of novel bacterial genera in these soil samples. A fraction of the dominant operational taxonomic units in the soil microbiota was identified, several of which played functional roles in soil nutrition. The linkage between the soil microbiota, especially the dominant species, and soil nutrients was analysed in this study. The culturomics and other omics technologies would help to isolate some novel microorganisms, which might lead to the recovery of functional microbial agents for plant growth.

description: Using a quadratic saddle-point approximation, we show how information about a particle-emitting source can be extracted from gaussian fits to two-particle correlation data. Although the formalism is completely general, extraction of the relevant parameters is much simpler for sources within an interesting class of azimuthally symmetric models. After discussing the standard fitting procedure, we introduce a new gaussian fitting procedure which is an azimuthally symmetric generalization of the Yano-Koonin formalism for spherically symmetric sources. This new fitting procedure has the advantage that in addition to being able to measure source parameters in a fixed frame or the longitudinally co-moving system, it can also measure these parameters in the local rest frame of the source.

First, in order to improve static SE when reliable historical data is unavailable, we reformulate the leastsquares
non-convex static SE currently used as a convex optimization problem by using an embedding
and convex relaxation techniques. We demonstrate a significant improvement in accuracy, particularly in
reactive power/voltage estimates. We propose that the added computational complexity caused by this embedding
can be managed by implementing the method as a distributed algorithm developed on the basis of
an underlying power system graph.
On the other hand, when reliable historical data is available, this thesis proposes utilizing them by using
both static and dynamic data-driven state estimation methods. The static estimator uses the an embedding
of the current measurements and learns the state estimator using similar measurement-state pairs in the historical
records. Several speedup techniques from machine learning are proposed for overcoming the initial
computational complexity of the proposed method and making it potentially useful for online applications.
A dynamic data-driven state estimator requires a much faster sampling of the historical data to capture
dynamics. An expectation maximization algorithm for SE is proposed for learning in embedded state space.
Finally, the uncertainties in SE caused by a massive number of distributed energy resources motivate a
fully distributed probabilistic state estimation method. This thesis provides a Bayesian Network solution to
the SE problem in that setting. The proposed method employs a probabilistic graphical model and embeds
it in a ceratin probability space, which allow the use of a variational belief propagation method that is both
scalable and exact for tree networks in distribution systems.
To assess the improved performance achieved by applying the proposed methods in this thesis, we compare
them with currently used methods in various simulation scenarios. Using the results, a flow chart is
presented to determine which methods to apply in different scenarios.

description: Citizen Social Science brings together social science researchers and citizens focusing on social issues, social phenomena and the social dimensions of the world, while applying and integrating social science methodologies and theories in their collaborative research efforts. These characteristics influence, for example, the focus and management of the project, the role of the researchers and the citizens, the participatory work, and ethical concerns. There are many handbooks and guidelines for conducting citizen science, but mostly within natural sciences. Yet, there are few handbooks detailing hands-on citizen social science with young people, and focusing on co-creative qualitative or mixed-methods approaches. This handbook, and its toolkit, build on the experiences from the H2020 YouCount project (2021-2023) and represent a unique contribution to the field of citizen social science. It is, overall, an exercise on social science communication that can be useful to a wide array of publics: practitioners, academics, policymakers, youth organisations and anyone interested in citizen social science as a way of creating a future shaped by more inclusive, participatory research and social innovation.

description: In this paper we present the observations performed by the BeppoSAX Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GRBM) and Wide Field Cameras (WFC) of GB960720. We derive a precise localization (3 arcmin radius) and fast broad band (2-700 keV) spectral evolution of the event. A search in the catalogues at all wavelengths in the error box yields a unique outstanding source: the bright radio quasar 4C 49.29. Although the probability of finding such a source by chance is very low (0.0002), the absence of similar counterparts in other small error boxes suggests a chance occurrence. We also find that the duration-energy relationship for bursts previously observed above 25keV (Fenimore et al. 1995) extends down to 1.5 keV. This result suggests that the same radiation mechanism is operating from X-rays to gamma-rays and is in agreement with radiative cooling by synchotron emission. A fast evolution of the spectrum is found, in which the ratio of X- to gamma-ray intensities varies over three orders of magnitude. Furthermore, the spectrum in the initial phase of the event betrays the presence of an optically thick source rapidly evolving in a thin configuration.No other class of sources in the universe shows such a fast and extreme evolution. These results pose new and tighter constraints on theoretical models for gamma-ray bursts.

description: We present cross sections for the neutral dissociation of methane, in a large part obtained through analytical approximations. With these cross sections the work of Song $\textit{et al.}$ [J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, $\textbf{44}$, 023101, (2015)] can be extended which results in a complete and consistent set of cross sections for the collision of electrons with up to 100 eV energy with methane molecules. Notably, the resulting cross section set does not require any data fitting to produce bulk swarm parameters that match with experiments. Therefore consistency can be considered an inherent trait of the set, since swarm parameters are used exclusively for validation of the cross sections. Neutral dissociation of methane is essential to include (1) because it is a crucial electron energy sink in methane plasma, and (2) because it largely contributes to the production of hydrogen radicals that can be vital for plasma-chemical processes. Finally, we compare the production rates of hydrogen species for a swarm-fitted data set with ours. The two consistent cross section sets predict different production rates, with differences of $45\%$ (at $100$ Td) and $125\%$ (at $50$ Td) for production of H$_2$ and a similar trend for production of H. With this comparison we underline that the swarm-fitting procedure, used to ensure consistency of the electron swarm parameters, can possibly deteriorate the accuracy with which chemical production rates are estimated. This is of particular importance for applications with an emphasis on plasma-chemical activation of the gas.

description: We construct a low-energy effective field theory that permits the complete treatment of isospin-breaking effects in nonleptonic weak interactions to next-to-leading order. To this end, we enlarge the chiral Lagrangian describing strong and Delta S=1 weak interactions by including electromagnetic terms with the photon as additional dynamical degree of freedom. The complete and minimal list of local terms at next-to-leading order is given. We perform the one-loop renormalization at the level of the generating functional and specialize to K -> pi pi decays.

Loop-Induced CP Violation in the Gaugino and Higgsino Sectors of Supersymmetric Theories

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show that the gaugino and higgsino sectors of supersymmetric theories can naturally acquire observable CP violation through radiative effects which originate from large CP-violating trilinear couplings of the Higgs bosons to the third-generation scalar quarks. These CP-violating loop effects are not attainable by evolving the supersymmetric renormalization-group equations from a higher unification scale down to the electroweak one. We briefly discuss the phenomenological consequences of such a scenario, and as an example, calculate the two-loop contribution to the neutron electric dipole moment generated by the one-loop chromo-electric dipole moment of the gluino.

Learning Structured Priors with Optimization-based Modeling
Creators: name: Li, Mao
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022

description: Underpinning the success of deep learning is effective structural prior modeling schemes that allow a broad range of domain-specific knowledge in data to be naturally encoded in a deep learning architecture. For example, in the computer vision community, convolutional neural networks implicitly encode transformation invariances (e.g., rotation and translation) by learning shareable weights across spatial domain of images. For sequential data, such as natural language sentences and speech utterances, recurrent neural networks are another class of architectures that perceive sequential order and capture the dependence among inputs. Besides advanced network architecture, one of the most prevalent approach to incorporating structural priors is regularization, which usually results in a complex non-convex optimization problem and creates contention between performance of end tasks and faithful of regularization.

We argue in this thesis that optimization methods provide an expressive set of primitive operations that allow us to integrate structural priors into the modeling pipeline without interference the learning of end tasks. We first propose inserting proximal mapping as a hidden layer to the deep neural network, which directly and explicitly produces well regularized hidden layer outputs. The resulting technique is shown well connected to kernel warping and dropout, and novel algorithms were developed for robust temporal learning and multiview learning. Next, we extend our framework to learn well regularized functions which project given inputs to structured outputs. As an instantiation of this approach, we aim to solve an unsupervised domain adaptation problem in which the minimax game leads to the training process unstable. A bi-level optimization based approach was proposed to decouple the minimax optimization so that the model enjoys a much more principled and efficient training procedure. In addition, our method warping probability discrepancy measures towards the end tasks by leveraging the pseudo-labels produced by the optimal predictor.

We validate our proposed methods through extensive experiments including image classification, speech recognition, cross-lingual word embedding, and domain adaptation. Our methods demonstrate a number of benefits over other baseline methods as we achieved state-of-the-art performance in various supervised and unsupervised learning tasks.
X-ray absorption by ionized oxygen in ASCA spectra of the infrared quasar IRAS 13349+2438

description: We present evidence for X-ray absorption by ionized oxygen in ASCA spectra of the prototype infrared quasar IRAS 13349+2438. This powerful (2E46 erg/s) quasar was studied in detail with ROSAT, and the combination of the X-ray data and optical/near-infrared spectropolarimetry strongly suggested the presence of a dusty ionized (`warm') absorber along the line of sight to the central X-ray source. The ASCA spectra, in contrast to an earlier claim, show evidence for ionized oxygen edges, and the presence of such edges appears to provide the most physically plausible interpretation of the data. Thus, the ASCA spectra support the dusty warm absorber hypothesis. The ASCA data also allow the physical properties of the warm absorber to be constrained far better than before. A one-zone warm absorber model indicates the ionized column to be in the range (2--6) x 10^{21} cm^{-2}, and it gives an ionization parameter of xi=31^{+12}_{-12} erg cm s^{-1}. The dusty warm absorber appears to have a density below 3E8 cm^{-3}, and it is probably located outside the broad-line region. The dust in the warm absorber does not appear to have been heavily sputtered or destroyed via other means. Based on the ASCA fitting, we suggest that ultraviolet absorption lines from the warm absorber may be detectable and discuss how they can further constrain the warm absorber properties. We compare and contrast the X-ray properties of IRAS 13349+2438 with those of broad absorption line quasars. We comment on the steep > 2 keV continuum of IRAS 13349+2438 and examine the relevance to some models of radiative Fe II formation.

description: Borwein and Choi conjectured that a polynomial $P(x)$ with coefficients $\pm1$ of degree $N-1$ is cyclotomic iff $$P(x)=\pm Φ_{p_1}(\pm x)Φ_{p_2}(\pm x^{p_1})\cdots Φ_{p_r}(\pm x^{p_1p_2\cdots p_{r-1}})$$ where $N=p_1p_2\cdots p_{r}$ and the $p_i$ are primes, not necessarily distinct. Here $Φ_p(x):=(x^p-1)/(x-1)$ is the $p-$th cyclotomic polynomial. In \cite{1}, they also proved the conjecture for $N$ odd or a power of 2. In this paper we introduce a so-called $E-$transformation, by which we prove the conjecture for a wider variety of cases and present the key as well as a new approach to investigate the conjecture.
