description: We map the spectrum of $1\to 2$ parton splittings inside a medium characterized by a transport coefficient $\hat q$ onto the kinematical Lund plane, taking into account the finite formation time of the process. We discuss the distinct regimes arising in this map for in-medium splittings, pointing out the close correspondence to a semi-classical description in the limit of hard, collinear radiation with short formation times. Although we disregard any modifications of the original parton kinematics in course of the propagation through the medium, subtle modifications to the radiation pattern compared to the vacuum baseline can be traced back to the physics of color decoherence and accumulated interactions in the medium. We provide theoretical support to vacuum-like emissions inside the medium by delimiting the regions of phase space where it is dominant, identifying also the relevant time-scales involved. The observed modifications are shown to be quite general for any dipole created in the medium.

description: We study the evolution of a flat Friedmann-Robertson- Walker Universe, filled with a bulk viscous cosmological fluid, in the presence of variable gravitational and cosmological constants. The dimensional analysis of the model suggest a proportionality between the bulk viscous pressure of the dissipative fluid and the energy density. With the use of this assumption and with the choice of the standard equations of state for the bulk viscosity coefficient, temperature and relaxation time, the general solution of the field equations can be obtained, with all physical parameters having a power-law time dependence. The symmetry analysis of this model, performed by using Lie group techniques, confirms the unicity of the solution for this functional form of the bulk viscous pressure.

description: Real-time and cyber-physical systems need to interact with and respond to their physical environment in a predictable time. While multicore platforms provide incredible computational power and throughput, they also introduce new sources of unpredictability. Large fluctuations in latency to access data shared between multiple cores is an important contributor to the overall execution-time variability. In addition to the temporal unpredictability introduced by caching, parallel applications with data shared across multiple cores also pay additional latency overheads due to data coherence. Analyzing the impact of data coherence on the worst-case execution-time of real-time applications is challenging because only scarce implementation details are revealed by manufacturers. This paper presents application level control for caching data at different levels of the cache hierarchy. The rationale is that by caching data only in shared cache it is possible to bypass private caches. The access latency to data present in caches becomes independent of its coherence state. We discuss the existing architectural support as well as the required hardware and OS modifications to support the proposed cacheability control. We evaluate the system on an architectural simulator. We show that the worst case execution time for a single memory write request is reduced by 52%. Benchmark evaluations show that proposed technique has a minimal impact on average performance.

description: Genetic structure of pelagic obligate freshwater fish in South-East Queensland does not appear to follow any of the of the anticipated models of distribution previously published. A possible model for free swimming fish is the Stream Hierarchy Model with each catchment having a unique population due to the isolation of the catchments over time. In this project's focus on South-East Queensland, there appears to be a mixture of populations with no readily identifiable structure. This project endeavours to explain the current structure using the cytochrome B molecular marker of the Crimson Spot Rainbowfish (Melanotaenia duboulayi). The Bayesian modelling program DIYABC is used to test various hypothesis models. These models were developed from personal experience, anecdotal information, and a review of the available literature. It was hypothesised that an inland dispersal occurred some 300,000 years ago coinciding with the Brigooda volcanic activity. The main hypothesis model predicted an inland dispersal resulting in sympatric populations at a species level, and displacement of one population by the descendant population. [...]

Limits to the Mass and the Radius of the Compact Star in SAX J1808.4--3658 and Their Implications

description: We show that a survey of equations of state and observations of X-ray pulsations from SAX J1808.4-3658 give 2.27 solar mass as the upper limit of the compact star mass. The corresponding upper limit of the radius comes out to be 9.73 km. We also do a probabilistic study to estimate the lower limit of the mass of the compact star. Such a limit puts useful constraints on equations of state. We also discuss the implications of the upper mass limit for the the evolutionary history of the source, as well as the detection of it in radio frequencies. We envisage that the possible observation of radio-eclipse may be able to rule out several soft equation of state models, by setting a moderately high value for the lower limit of inclination angle.

description: Abstract: We assess whether and how violence and political instability affect trade between developed and developing countries considering the special case of EU imports of Kenyan roses after the 2007/08 post-election violence and political instability in Kenya. Using the Rotterdam model to estimate EU demand for roses from Kenya and other global competitors, we find evidence of a structural change in the import growth rate for Kenya, approximately equivalent to an 18.6% tariff. These results highlight the importance of non-tariff barriers to trade and contribute to the growing literature on the role of insecurity and instability in hindering international trade.

description: Solar chromosphere consists of a partially ionized plasma, which makes modeling the solar chromosphere a particularly challenging numerical task. Here we numerically model chromospheric waves using a two-fluid approach with a newly developed numerical code. The code solves two-fluid equations of conservation of mass, momentum and energy, together with the induction equation, for the case of the purely hydrogen plasma with collisional coupling between the charged and neutral fluid components. The implementation of a semi-implicit algorithm allows us to overcome the numerical stability constraints due to the stiff collisional terms. We test the code against analytical solutions of acoustic and Alfvén wave propagation in uniform medium in several regimes of collisional coupling.The results of our simulations are consistent with the analytical estimates, and with other results described in the literature. In the limit of a large collisional frequency, the waves propagate with a common speed of a single fluid. In the other limit of a vanishingly small collisional frequency, the Alfvén waves propagate with an Alfvén speed of the charged fluid only, while the perturbation in neutral fluid is very small. The acoustic waves in these limits propagate with the sound speed corresponding to either the charges or the neutrals, while the perturbation in the other fluid component is very small. Otherwise, when the collision frequency is similar to the real part of the wave frequency, the interaction between charges and neutrals through momentum transfer collisions cause alterations of the waves frequencies and damping of the wave amplitudes.

description: Controversies surrounding the effect of ES on pregnancy outcome in women with RIF are mostly due to the poorly defined target population. We evaluated the effect of ES on clinical outcomes in women with strict criteria of RIF before IVF/ICSI. We also examined the effect of ES on the expression of markers of endometrial receptivity. Women with failed implantation after transfer of seven or more top quality day 3 embryos or three blastocysts underwent the scratch procedure on exact days of the cycle prior to IVF/ICSI. Results were compared to no scratch control group. Using histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and scanning electron microscopy, we also examined the effect of injury on the endometrial receptivity in a separate series of observations with double ES. Cumulative pregnancy rate was significantly higher in the study group as compared to control (54.8% vs. 29.0%; p

description: We have carried out molecular dynamics simulations to understand the dynamics of a tagged pair of atoms in a strongly non-ideal glass-forming binary Lennard-Jones mixture (commonly known as Kob-Andersen model). The generalized time-dependent pair distribution function is calculated separately for the three pairs (AA, BB and AB). The three pairs are found to behave differently. The relative diffusion constants are found to vary in the order $D_R^{BB} > D_R^{AB} > D_R^{AA}$, with $D_R^{BB} \simeq 2D_R^{AA}$, showing the importance of the hopping process (B hops much more than A). We introduce a non-Gaussian parameter ($α_2^P (t)$) to monitor the relative motion of a pair of atoms, and evaluate it for all the three pairs, with initial separations chosen to be at the first peak of the corresponding partial radial distribution functions. At intermediate times, significant deviation from the Gaussian behavior of the pair distribution functions is observed, with different degree for the three pairs. A simple mean-field (MF) model, proposed originally by Haan [Phys. Rev. A ${\bf 20}$, 2516 (1979)] for one component liquid, is applied to the case of binary mixture, and compared with the simulation results. While the MF model successfully describe the dynamics of the AA and AB pair, the agreement for the BB pair is less satisfactory. This is attributed to the large scale anharmonic motions of the B particles in a weak effective potential. Dynamics of next nearest neighbor pairs are also investigated.

description: Polyphenols have been extensively studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, their antiglycative actions by oxidative stress modulation have been linked to the prevention of diabetes and associated complications. This article assesses the evidence for polyphenol interventions on glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) in non-diabetic, pre-diabetic, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects. A systematic review of polyphenols' clinical trials on HbA1c in humans was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Thirty-six controlled randomized trials with HbA1c values were included. Polyphenols (extracts, supplements, and foods) were supplemented (28 mg to 1.5 g) for 0.7 to 12 months. Combining all subjects (n = 1954, mean baseline HbA1c = 7.03%, 53 mmol/mol), polyphenol supplementation significantly (P < 0.001) lowered HbA1c% by –0.53 ± 0.12 units (–5.79 ± 0.13 mmol/mol). This reduction was significant (P < 0.001) in T2DM subjects, specifically (n = 1426, mean baseline HbA1c = 7.44%, 58 mmol/mol), with HbA1c% lowered by –0.21 ± 0.04 units (–2.29 ± 0.4 mmol/mol). Polyphenol supplementation had no significant effect (P > 0.21) in the non-diabetic (n = 258, mean baseline HbA1c = 5.47%, 36 mmol/mol) and the pre-diabetic subjects (n = 270, mean baseline HbA1c = 6.06%, 43 mmol/mol) strata: –0.39 ± 0.27 HbA1c% units (–4.3 ± 0.3 mmol/mol), and –0.38 ± 0.31 units (–4.2 ± 0.31 mmol/mol), respectively. In conclusion, polyphenols can successfully reduce HbA1c in T2DM without any intervention at glycemia, and could contribute to the prevention of diabetes complications.

description: As has only recently been recognized, X-ray binaries with intermediate-mass secondaries are much more important than previously believed. To assess the relative importance of low- and intermediate-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs and IMXBs), we have initiated a systematic study of these systems consisting of two parts: an exploration of the evolution of LMXBs and IMXBs for a wide range of initial masses and orbital periods using detailed binary stellar evolution calculations, and an integration of these results into a Monte-Carlo binary population synthesis code. Here we present some of the main results of our binary calculations and some preliminary results of the population synthesis study for a ``standard'' reference model. While the inclusion of IMXBs improves the agreement with the observed properties of ``LMXBs'', several significant discrepancies remain, which suggests that additional physical processes need to be included in the model.

description: We have measured the surface density of galaxies toward 14 X-ray-selected cluster candidates at redshifts greater than z=0.46, and we show that they are associated with rich galaxy concentrations. We find that the clusters range between Abell richness classes 0-2, and have a most probable richness class of one. We compare the richness distribution of our distant clusters to those for three samples of nearby clusters with similar X-ray luminosities. We find that the nearby and distant samples have similar richness distributions, which shows that clusters have apparently not evolved substantially in richness since redshift z =0.5. We compare the distribution of distant X-ray clusters in the L_x--richness plane to the distribution of optically-selected clusters from the Palomar Distant Cluster Survey. The optically-selected clusters appear overly rich for their X-ray luminosities when compared to X-ray-selected clusters. Apparently, X-ray and optical surveys do not necessarily sample identical mass concentrations at large redshifts. This may indicate the existence of a population of optically rich clusters with anomalously low X-ray emission. More likely, however, it reflects the tendency for optical surveys to select unvirialized mass concentrations, as might be expected when peering along large-scale filaments.

description: We introduce SpERT, an attention model for span-based joint entity and relation extraction. Our key contribution is a light-weight reasoning on BERT embeddings, which features entity recognition and filtering, as well as relation classification with a localized, marker-free context representation. The model is trained using strong within-sentence negative samples, which are efficiently extracted in a single BERT pass. These aspects facilitate a search over all spans in the sentence. In ablation studies, we demonstrate the benefits of pre-training, strong negative sampling and localized context. Our model outperforms prior work by up to 2.6% F1 score on several datasets for joint entity and relation extraction.

Generalized thermostatistics and mean-field theory

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The present paper studies a large class of temperature dependent probability distributions and shows that entropy and energy can be defined in such a way that these probability distributions are the equilibrium states of a generalized thermostatistics. This generalized thermostatistics is obtained from the standard formalism by deformation of exponential and logarithmic functions. Since this procedure is non-unique, specific choices are motivated by showing that the resulting theory is well-behaved. In particular, the equilibrium state of any system with a finite number of degrees of freedom is, automatically, thermodynamically stable and satisfies the variational principle. The equilibrium probability distribution of open systems deviates generically from the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution. If the interaction with the environment is not too strong then one can expect that a slight deformation of the exponential function, appearing in the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution, can reproduce the observed temperature dependence. An example of a system, where this statement holds, is a single spin of the Ising chain. The connection between the present formalism and Tsallis' thermostatistics is discussed. In particular, the present generalization sheds some light onto the historical development of the latter formalism.

description: Non-standard fields are assumed to be responsible for phenomena attributed to dark energy and dark matter. Being coupled to ordinary matter, these fields modify the masses and/or charges of the elementary particles, thereby violating the Weak Equivalence Principle. Thus, values of fundamental constants such as the proton-to-electron mass ratio, mu, and/or the fine structure constant, alpha, measured in different environment conditions can be used as probes for this coupling. Here we perform differential measurements of F = mu*alpha^2 to test a non-standard coupling in the Magellanic Clouds - dwarf galaxies where the overall mass budget is dominated by dark matter. The analysis is based on [CI] and CO lines observed with the Herschel Space Observatory. Since these lines have different sensitivities to changes in mu and alpha, the combined alpha and mu variations can be evaluated through the radial velocity offsets, Delta V, between the CO and [CI] lines. Averaging over nine positions in the Magellanic Clouds, we obtain = -0.02+/-0.07 km/s, leading to |Delta F/F| < 2*10^-7 (1sigma), where Delta F/F = (F_obs-F_lab)/F_lab}. However, for one position observed with five times higher spectral resolution we find Delta V = -0.05+/-0.02 km/s, resulting in Delta F/F = (-1.7+/-0.7)*10^-7. Whether this offset is due to changes in the fundamental constants, due to chemical segregation in the emitting gas or merely due to Doppler noise requires further investigations.

The Complexity of Transducer Synthesis from Multi-Sequential Specifications

description: The transducer synthesis problem on finite words asks, given a specification $S \subseteq I \times O$, where $I$ and $O$ are sets of finite words, whether there exists an implementation $f: I \rightarrow O$ which (1) fulfils the specification, i.e., $(i,f(i))\in S$ for all $i\in I$, and (2) can be defined by some input-deterministic (aka sequential) transducer $\mathcal{T}_f$. If such an implementation $f$ exists, the procedure should also output $\mathcal{T}_f$. The realisability problem is the corresponding decision problem. For specifications given by synchronous transducers (which read and write alternately one symbol), this is the finite variant of the classical synthesis problem on $ω$-words, solved by Büchi and Landweber in 1969, and the realisability problem is known to be ExpTime-c in both finite and $ω$-word settings. For specifications given by asynchronous transducers (which can write a batch of symbols, or none, in a single step), the realisability problem is known to be undecidable. We consider here the class of multi-sequential specifications, defined as finite unions of sequential transducers over possibly incomparable domains. We provide optimal decision procedures for the realisability problem in both the synchronous and asynchronous setting, showing that it is PSpace-c. Moreover, whenever the specification is realisable, we expose the construction of a sequential transducer that realises it and has a size that is doubly exponential, which we prove to be optimal.

A combinatorial topological method for the global dynamics of parameterized ODEs
Creators: name: Do Prado Rivas, Bernardo Augusto
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied

description: We introduce a combinatorial topological framework for characterizing the global dynamics of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The approach is motivated by the study of gene regulatory networks, which are often modeled by ODEs that are not explicitly derived from first principles. The proposed method involves constructing a combinatorial model from a set of parameters and then embedding the model into a continuous setting in such a way that the algebraic topological invariants are preserved. In this manuscript, we build upon the software Dynamic Signatures Generated by Regulatory Networks (DSGRN), a software package that is used to explore the dynamics generated by a regulatory network. By extending its functionalities, we deduce the global dynamical information of the ODE and extract information regarding equilibria, periodic orbits, connecting orbits and bifurcations. We validate our results through algebraic topological tools and analytical bounds, and the effectiveness of this framework is demonstrated through several examples and possible future directions.

description: Polyphenols have been extensively studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recently, their antiglycative actions by oxidative stress modulation have been linked to the prevention of diabetes and associated complications. This article assesses the evidence for polyphenol interventions on glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) in non-diabetic, pre-diabetic, and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) subjects. A systematic review of polyphenols' clinical trials on HbA1c in humans was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Thirty-six controlled randomized trials with HbA1c values were included. Polyphenols (extracts, supplements, and foods) were supplemented (28 mg to 1.5 g) for 0.7 to 12 months. Combining all subjects (n = 1954, mean baseline HbA1c = 7.03%, 53 mmol/mol), polyphenol supplementation significantly (P < 0.001) lowered HbA1c% by –0.53 ± 0.12 units (–5.79 ± 0.13 mmol/mol). This reduction was significant (P < 0.001) in T2DM subjects, specifically (n = 1426, mean baseline HbA1c = 7.44%, 58 mmol/mol), with HbA1c% lowered by –0.21 ± 0.04 units (–2.29 ± 0.4 mmol/mol). Polyphenol supplementation had no significant effect (P > 0.21) in the non-diabetic (n = 258, mean baseline HbA1c = 5.47%, 36 mmol/mol) and the pre-diabetic subjects (n = 270, mean baseline HbA1c = 6.06%, 43 mmol/mol) strata: –0.39 ± 0.27 HbA1c% units (–4.3 ± 0.3 mmol/mol), and –0.38 ± 0.31 units (–4.2 ± 0.31 mmol/mol), respectively. In conclusion, polyphenols can successfully reduce HbA1c in T2DM without any intervention at glycemia, and could contribute to the prevention of diabetes complications.

description: N-Acetyl-d-neuraminic acid (NANA), more commonly known by its trivial name sialic acid, is an endogenous human and ubiquitous nutritional monosaccharide. As a bound sugar at the terminal positions of glycans NANA is known to play important roles in many biological events. The data that exist on the occurrence of the free monosaccharide in breast milk and nutrition, however, are less commonly discussed. In most foods of animal origin, sialic acid occurs as a mixture of NANA and N-glycolyl-d-neuraminic acid (NGNA), a hydroxylated derivative of NANA that is not found in humans. The dietary intake of NGNA has been identified as a risk factor for long-term adverse health effects. Therefore, we present summaries on the biochemistry, metabolism, bioavailability, and the data on NANA and NGNA levels that occur in diverse foods. Finally, we discuss the emerging data demonstrating that free NANA is linked to positive nutritional effects including pronounced antioxidative properties. These data and the extremely high safety profile of NANA justify dietary enrichment at levels that correspond to the dietary intake of NANA in infants through breast milk.
Grain boundary characteristics of oxypnictide NdFeAs(O,F) superconductors

description: We have systematically investigated the grain boundary (GB) angle dependence of transport properties for NdFeAs(O,F) fabricated on [001]-tilt symmetric MgO bicrystal substrates. In our previous study, NdFeAs(O,F) bicrystal films showed a weak-link behaviour even at a GB angle of 6°. However, this was caused by an extrinsic effect originating from the damage to both NdFeAs(O,F) and MgO substrate by excess F-diffusion along the grain boundary. To investigate the intrinsic nature of grain boundaries, we minimized the damage to NdFeAs(O,F) and MgO by reducing the deposition temperature of NdOF over-layer needed for F-doping. The resultant NdFeAs(O,F) bicrystal films have a critical angle of 8.5°, above which Jc starts to decrease exponentially. This critical angle is almost the same as those of other Fe-based superconductors.

description: The frequency and the characteristics of lunar impacting meteorites are reconsidered under the general assumption of belonging to the sporadic meteoroids. We develop the model for evaluating the luminous energy detected in the visual band during the impact. The values obtained are consistent with the luminosity of an Earth's meteor as seen at the Moon's distance, although we recover significantly smaller magnitudes for the lunar impacts with respect to other authors.

description: In this paper, we consider a Lewy-Stampacchia-type inequality for the fractional Laplacian on a bounded domain in Euclidean space. Using this inequality, we can show the well-posedness of fractional-type anomalous unidirectional diffusion equations. This study is an extension of the work by Akagi-Kimura (2019) for the standard Laplacian. However, there exist several difficulties due to the nonlocal feature of the fractional Laplacian. We overcome those difficulties employing the Caffarelli-Silvestre extension of the fractional Laplacian.

description: The results from XMM-Newton observations of the relaxed cluster of galaxies Abell~496 are presented. The spatially-resolved X-ray spectra taken by the European Photon Imaging Cameras show a temperature drop and a Fe abundance increase in the intra-cluster medium (ICM) towards the cD galaxy at the cluster center. The abundances of Si and S also show a central enhancement. High resolution soft X-ray spectra obtained with the Reflection Grating Spectrometers provides a strong constraint on the temperature structure in the central cool plasma. Furthermore, the O abundance at the cluster core is accurately measured based on the OVIII Ly alpha line detected with the RGS. Contrary to the Si, S, and Fe abundances, the O abundance is radially constant over the cluster.

description: Trajectory optimization (TO) is one of the most powerful tools for generating feasible motions for humanoid robots. However, including uncertainties and stochasticity in the TO problem to generate robust motions can easily lead to an interactable problem. Furthermore, since the models used in the TO have always some level of abstraction, it is hard to find a realistic set of uncertainty in the space of abstract model. In this paper we aim at leveraging a sample-efficient learning technique (Bayesian optimization) to robustify trajectory optimization for humanoid locomotion. The main idea is to use Bayesian optimization to find the optimal set of cost weights which compromises performance with respect to robustness with a few realistic simulation/experiment. The results show that the proposed approach is able to generate robust motions for different set of disturbances and uncertainties.

An optical inverse-Compton hotspot in 3C196?
Creators: name: Hardcastle, M. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Several hotspots of FRII radio sources have previously been detected in the X-ray at a flux level consistent with the X-rays being due to inverse-Compton scattering of radio synchrotron photons (`synchrotron self-Compton'), if the magnetic fields in the hotspots are close to their equipartition values. However, the number of hotspots compact and bright enough to exhibit detectable X-ray emission is small, so it is worth searching for synchrotron self-Compton emission in the optical, in spite of the obvious observational difficulties of such an approach. In this note I report on a possible detection of an optical inverse-Compton hotspot in a deep Hubble Space Telescope observation of the distant quasar 3C196, at a level which implies a hotspot magnetic field strength close to equipartition if the electrons have a low-energy cutoff around gamma ~ 500.
