description: HIP 67522 b is a 17 Myr old, close-in (P orb = 6.96 days), Jupiter-sized (R = 10 R ⊕) transiting planet orbiting a Sun-like star in the Sco-Cen OB association. We present our measurement of the system's projected orbital obliquity via two spectroscopic transit observations using the CHIRON spectroscopic facility. We present a global model that accounts for large surface brightness features typical of such young stars during spectroscopic transit observations. With a value of | λ | = 5.8-5.7+2.8 it is unlikely that this well-aligned system is the result of a high-eccentricity-driven migration history. By being the youngest planet with a known obliquity, HIP 67522 b holds a special place in contributing to our understanding of giant planet formation and evolution. Our analysis shows the feasibility of such measurements for young and very active stars.

description: The gravitational waveforms in the ghost-free bigravity theory exhibit deviations from those in general relativity. The main difference is caused by graviton oscillations in the bigravity theory. We investigate the prospects for the detection of the corrections to gravitational waveforms from coalescing compact binaries due to graviton oscillations and for constraining bigravity parameters with the gravitational wave observations. We consider the bigravity model discussed by the De Felice-Nakamura-Tanaka subset of the bigravity model, and the phenomenological model in which the bigravity parameters are treated as independent variables. In both models, the bigravity waveform shows strong amplitude modulation, and there can be a characteristic frequency of the largest peak of the amplitude, which depends on the bigravity parameters. We show that there is a detectable region of the bigravity parameters for the advanced ground-based laser interferometers, such as Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA. This region corresponds to the effective graviton mass of $μ\geq 10^{-17}~{\rm cm}^{-1}$ for $\tilde{c}-1 \geq 10^{-19}$ in the phenomenological model, while $μ\geq 10^{-16.5}~{\rm cm}^{-1}$ for $κξ_c^2 \geq 10^{0.5}$ in the De Felice-Nakamura-Tanaka subset of the bigravity model, respectively, where $\tilde{c}$ is the propagation speed of the massive graviton and $κξ_c^2$ corresponds to the corrections to the gravitational constant in general relativity. These regions are not excluded by existing solar system tests. We also show that, in the case of $1.4-1.4M_{\rm sun}$ binaries at the distance of $200~{\rm Mpc}$, $\logμ^2$ is determined with an accuracy of ${\cal O}$(0.1)\% at the 1$σ$ level for a fiducial model with $μ^2=10^{-33}~{\rm cm}^{-2}$ in the case of the phenomenological model.

description: Background and aimsWe studied damage accrual and factors determining development and progression of damage in an international cohort of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.MethodsThe Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) Inception Cohort recruited patients within 15 months of developing four or more 1997 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria for SLE; the SLICC/ACR damage index (SDI) was measured annually. We assessed relative rates of transition using maximum likelihood estimation in a multistate model. The Kaplan–Meier method estimated the probabilities for time to first increase in SDI score and Cox regression analysis was used to assess mortality.ResultsWe recruited 1722 patients; mean (SD) age 35.0 (13.4) years at cohort entry. Patients with damage at enrolment were more likely to have further worsening of SDI (SDI 0 vs ≥1; p<0.001). Age, USA African race/ethnicity, SLEDAI-2K score, steroid use and hypertension were associated with transition from no damage to damage, and increase(s) in pre-existing damage. Male gender (relative transition rates (95% CI) 1.48 (1.06to 2.08)) and USA Caucasian race/ethnicity (1.63 (1.08 to 2.47)) were associated with SDI 0 to ≥1 transitions; Asian race/ethnicity patients had lower rates of new damage (0.60 (0.39 to 0.93)). Antimalarial use was associated with lower rates of increases in pre-existing damage (0.63 (0.44 to 0.89)). Damage was associated with future mortality (HR (95% CI) 1.46 (1.18 to 1.81) per SDI point).ConclusionsDamage in SLE predicts future damage accrual and mortality. We identified several potentially modifiable risk factors for damage accrual; an integrated strategy to address these may improve long-term outcomes.

description: This study investigate factors analysis on relationship satisfaction between supplier and consumer in market of agricultural product brands. To be specific, this topic examines impact relationships among switching costs, relational benefits, and attractiveness of alternatives as antecedents which affect customers' relational satisfaction and intentions to relational exit in variables considering characteristics of agricultural product brands. The results show that customers' switching costs between brand supplier and customer have a positive effect on relational satisfaction and intentions to relational exit. Relational benefits can be strengthened by customers' relational satisfaction, and also customers' relational satisfaction is affected by attractiveness of alternatives. The attractiveness of alternatives which is strengthened by customers' attitudes has a positive influence on customers' intention to relational exits. The rest variables of switching costs and relational benefits have no significant effects on customers' intention to relational exits. At the conclusion of the paper, theoretical contributions, managerial implications, limitation and future research directions are discussed.

description: Shape optimization in the context of technical design is the process by which mechanical demands (e.g. loads, stresses) govern a sequence of piece instances, which satisfy the demands, while at the same time evolving towards more attractive geometric features (e.g. lighter, cheaper, etc.). The SIMP (Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization) strategy seeks a redistribution of local densities of a part in order to stand stress / strain demands. Neighborhoods (e.g. voxels) whose density drifts to lower values are considered superfluous and removed, leading to an optimization of the part shape. This manuscript presents a study on how the parameters governing the voxel pruning affect the convergence speed and performance of the attained shape. A stronger penalization factor establishes the criteria by which thin voxels are considered void. In addition, the filter discourages punctured, chessboard pattern regions. The SIMP algorithm produces a forecasted density map on the whole piece voxels. A post-processing is applied to effectively eliminate voxels with low density, to obtain the effective shape. In the literature, mechanical performance finite element analyses are conducted on the full voxel set with diluted densities by linearly weakening each voxel resistance according to its diluted density. Numerical tests show that this approach predicts a more favorable mechanical performance as compared with the one obtained with the shape which actually lacks the voxels with low density. This voxel density - based optimization is particularly convenient for additive manufacturing, as shown with the piece actually produced in this work. Future endeavors include different evolution processes, albeit based on variable density voxel sets, and mechanical tests conducted on the actual sample produced by additive manufacture.

Toward Quantitative Phase-field Modeling of Dendritic Electrodeposition

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A thin-interface phase-field model of electrochemical interfaces is developed based on Marcus kinetics for concentrated solutions, and used to simulate dendrite growth during electrodeposition of metals. The model is derived in the grand electrochemical potential to permit the interface to be widened to reach experimental length and time scales, and electroneutrality is formulated to eliminate the Debye length. Quantitative agreement is achieved with zinc Faradaic reaction kinetics, fractal growth dimension, tip velocity, and radius of curvature. Reducing the exchange current density is found to suppress the growth of dendrites, and screening electrolytes by their exchange currents is suggested as a strategy for controlling dendrite growth in batteries.

description: Mapping the orbital obliquity distribution of young planets is one avenue toward understanding mechanisms that sculpt the architectures of planetary systems. TOI-942 is a young field star, with an age of ∼60 Myr, hosting a planetary system consisting of two transiting Neptune-sized planets in 4.3 and 10.1 day period orbits. We observed the spectroscopic transits of the inner Neptune TOI-942b to determine its projected orbital obliquity angle. Through two partial transits, we find the planet to be in a prograde orbit, with a projected obliquity angle of |λ| = 1-33+41 deg. In addition, incorporating the light curve and the stellar rotation period, we find the true 3D obliquity to be 2-23+27 deg. We explored various sources of uncertainties specific to the spectroscopic transits of planets around young active stars, and showed that our reported obliquity uncertainty fully encompassed these effects. TOI-942b is one of the youngest planets to have its obliquity characterized, and one of even fewer residing in a multi-planet system. The prograde orbital geometry of TOI-942b is in line with systems of similar ages, none of which have yet been identified to be in strongly misaligned orbits.

description: As quantum technology is advancing, the efficient design of quantum circuits has become an important area of research. This paper provides an introduction to the MCT quantum circuit design problem for reversible Boolean functions without assuming a prior background in quantum computing. While this is a well-studied problem, optimization models that minimize the true objective have only been explored recently. This paper introduces a new optimization model and symmetry-breaking constraints that improve solving time by up to two orders of magnitude compared to earlier work when a Constraint Programming solver is used. Experiments with up to seven qubits and using up to 15 quantum gates result in several new best-known circuits, obtained by any method, for well-known benchmarks. Finally, an extensive comparison with other approaches shows that optimization models may require more time but can provide superior circuits with optimality guarantees.

description: One of the most important predictions of any gap model for pulsar magnetospheres is the predicted $γ$-ray spectra. In the outer gap model, the properties of the synchro-curvature radiation are sensitive to many parameters, whose realistic ranges have been studied in detail in an accompanying paper. There we demonstrated that the uncertainty in the radius of curvature, the magnetic field geometry, and the X-ray surface flux may affect by orders of magnitude the predicted flux and spectral peak in the $γ$-ray regime. Here, we present a systematic, numerical study of the impact of the different parameters on the particle dynamics along the gap and calculate the emitted synchro-curvature radiation along the trajectory. By integrating the emitted radiation along the gap and convolving it with a parametrized particle distribution, we discuss how the comparison with the wealth of {\em Fermi}-LAT data can be used to constrain the applicability of the model. The resulting spectra show very different energy peaks, fluxes and shapes, qualitatively matching the great variety of the observed {\em Fermi}-LAT pulsars. In particular, if we see a large fraction of photons emitted from the initial part of the trajectory, we show that the spectra will be flatter at the low-energy {\it Fermi}-LAT regime (100 MeV -- 1 GeV). This provides a solution for such observed flat spectra, while still maintain synchro-curvature radiation as the origin of these photons.

description: In-silico investigation of skin permeation is an important but also computationally demanding problem. To resolve all scales involved in full detail will not only require exascale computing capacities but also suitable parallel algorithms. This article investigates the applicability of the time-parallel Parareal algorithm to a brick and mortar setup, a precursory problem to skin permeation. The C++ library Lib4PrM implementing Parareal is combined with the UG4 simulation framework, which provides the spatial discretization and parallelization. The combination's performance is studied with respect to convergence and speedup. It is confirmed that anisotropies in the domain and jumps in diffusion coefficients only have a minor impact on Parareal's convergence. The influence of load imbalances in time due to differences in number of iterations required by the spatial solver as well as spatio-temporal weak scaling is discussed.

description: Rare-earth tritellurides (RTe3) are popular for their charge density wave (CDW) phase, magnetotransport properties and pressure induced superconducting state among other features. In this literature, Density functional theory has been exploited to study various properties of NdTe3. The calculated elastic and thermomechanical parameters, which were hitherto untouched for any RTe3, uncover soft, ductile, highly machinable and damage tolerant characteristics, as well as highly anisotropic mechanical behavior of this layered compound. Its thermomechanical properties make it a prospective thermal barrier coating material. Band structure, density of states, Fermi surfaces and various optical functions of the material have been reported. The band structure demonstrates highly directional metallic nature. The highly dispersive bands indicate very low effective charge carrier mass for the in-plane directions. The Fermi surfaces display symmetric pockets, including signs of nesting, bilayer splitting among others, corroborating previous works. The optical spectra expose high reflectivity across the visible region, while absorption is high in the ultraviolet region. Two plasma frequencies are noticed in the optical loss function. The optical conductivity, reflectivity and absorption reaffirm its metallic properties. The electronic band structure manifests evidence of CDW phase in the ground state.

description: BackgroundThe metabolic syndrome (MetS) may contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We examined the association between MetS and disease activity, disease phenotype and corticosteroid exposure over time in patients with SLE.MethodsRecently diagnosed (<15 months) patients with SLE from 30 centres across 11 countries were enrolled into the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) Inception Cohort from 2000 onwards. Baseline and annual assessments recorded clinical, laboratory and therapeutic data. A longitudinal analysis of factors associated with MetS in the first 2 years of follow-up was performed using random effects logistic regression.ResultsWe studied 1150 patients with a mean (SD) age of 34.9 (13.6) years and disease duration at enrolment of 24.2 (18.0) weeks. In those with complete data, MetS prevalence was 38.2% at enrolment, 34.8% at year 1 and 35.4% at year 2. In a multivariable random effects model that included data from all visits, prior MetS status, baseline renal disease, SLICC Damage Index >1, higher disease activity, increasing age and Hispanic or Black African race/ethnicity were independently associated with MetS over the first 2 years of follow-up in the cohort.ConclusionsMetS is a persistent phenotype in a significant proportion of patients with SLE. Renal lupus, active inflammatory disease and damage are SLE-related factors that drive MetS development while antimalarial agents appear to be protective from early in the disease course.
Time-delayed quantum feedback control

description: A theory of time-delayed coherent quantum feedback is developed. More specifically, we consider a quantum system coupled to a bosonic reservoir creating a unidirectional feedback loop. It is shown that the dynamics can be mapped onto a fictitious series of cascaded quantum systems, where the system is driven by past versions of itself. The derivation of this model relies on a tensor network representation of the system-reservoir time-propagator. For concreteness, this general theory is applied to a driven two-level atom scattering into a coherent feedback loop. We demonstrate how delay effects can qualitatively change the dynamics of the atom, and how quantum control can be implemented in the presence of time-delays.

description: The VASARI MRI feature set is a quantitative system designed to standardise glioma imaging descriptions. Though effective, deriving VASARI is time-consuming and seldom used in clinical practice. This is a problem that machine learning could plausibly automate. Using glioma data from 1172 patients, we developed VASARI-auto, an automated labelling software applied to both open-source lesion masks and our openly available tumour segmentation model. In parallel, two consultant neuroradiologists independently quantified VASARI features in a subsample of 100 glioblastoma cases. We quantified: 1) agreement across neuroradiologists and VASARI-auto; 2) calibration of performance equity; 3) an economic workforce analysis; and 4) fidelity in predicting patient survival. Tumour segmentation was compatible with the current state of the art and equally performant regardless of age or sex. A modest inter-rater variability between in-house neuroradiologists was comparable to between neuroradiologists and VASARI-auto, with far higher agreement between VASARI-auto methods. The time taken for neuroradiologists to derive VASARI was substantially higher than VASARI-auto (mean time per case 317 vs. 3 seconds). A UK hospital workforce analysis forecast that three years of VASARI featurisation would demand 29,777 consultant neuroradiologist workforce hours (£1,574,935), reducible to 332 hours of computing time (and £146 of power) with VASARI-auto. The best-performing survival model utilised VASARI-auto features as opposed to those derived by neuroradiologists. VASARI-auto is a highly efficient automated labelling system with equitable performance across patient age or sex, a favourable economic profile if used as a decision support tool, and with non-inferior fidelity in downstream patient survival prediction. Future work should iterate upon and integrate such tools to enhance patient care.

description: Transferring different artistic styles to images while preserving their content is a difficult image processing task. Since the seminal deep learning approach of Gatys et al. [GEB16], many recent works have proposed different approaches for performing this task. However, most of them share one major limitation: a trade-off between how much the target style is transferred, and how much the content of the original source image is preserved [GEB16, GEB*17, HB17, LPSB17]. In this work, we present a structure-preserving approach for style transfer that builds on top of the approach proposed by Gatys et al. Our approach allows to preserve regions of fine detail by lowering the intensity of the style transfer for such regions, while still conveying the desired style in the overall appearance of the image. We propose to use a quad-tree image subdivision, and then apply the style transfer operation differently for different subdivision levels. Effectively, this leads to a more intense style transfer in large flat regions, while the content is better preserved in areas with fine structure and details. Our approach can be easily applied to different style transfer approaches as a post-processing step.

description: We use high-resolution zoom-in cosmological simulations of galaxies of Romano-Diaz et al., post-processing them with a panchromatic three-dimensional radiation transfer code to obtain the galaxy UV luminosity function (LF) at z ~ 6-12. The galaxies are followed in a rare, heavily overdense region within a ~ 5-sigma density peak, which can host high-z quasars, and in an average density region, down to the stellar mass of M_star ~ 4* 10^7 Msun. We find that the overdense regions evolve at a substantially accelerated pace --- the most massive galaxy has grown to M_star ~ 8.4*10^10 Msun by z = 6.3, contains dust of M_dust~ 4.1*10^8 Msun, and is associated with a very high star formation rate, SFR ~ 745 Msun/yr.The attained SFR-M_star correlation results in the specific SFR slowly increasing with M_star. Most of the UV radiation in massive galaxies is absorbed by the dust, its escape fraction f_esc is low, increasing slowly with time. Galaxies in the average region have less dust, and agree with the observed UV LF. The LF of the overdense region is substantially higher, and contains much brighter galaxies. The massive galaxies are bright in the infrared (IR) due to the dust thermal emission, with L_IR~ 3.7*10^12 Lsun at z = 6.3, while L_IR < 10^11 Lsun for the low-mass galaxies. Therefore, ALMA can probe massive galaxies in the overdense region up to z ~ 10 with a reasonable integration time. The UV spectral properties of disky galaxies depend significantly upon the viewing angle.The stellar and dust masses of the most massive galaxy in the overdense region are comparable to those of the sub-millimetre galaxy (SMG) found by Riechers et al. at z = 6.3, while the modelled SFR and the sub-millimetre flux fall slightly below the observed one. Statistical significance of these similarities and differences will only become clear with the upcoming ALMA observations.

description: Spectroscopy of transiting exoplanets can be used to investigate their atmospheric properties and habitability. Combining radial velocity (RV) and transit data provides additional information on exoplanet physical properties. We detect a transiting rocky planet with an orbital period of 1.467 days around the nearby red dwarf star Gliese 486. The planet Gliese 486 b is 2.81 Earth masses and 1.31 Earth radii, with uncertainties of 5%, as determined from RV data and photometric light curves. The host star is at a distance of ~8.1 parsecs, has a J-band magnitude of ~7.2, and is observable from both hemispheres of Earth. On the basis of these properties and the planet's short orbital period and high equilibrium temperature, we show that this terrestrial planet is suitable for emission and transit spectroscopy.

description: The topic of semantic segmentation has witnessed considerable progress due to the powerful features learned by convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The current leading approaches for semantic segmentation exploit shape information by extracting CNN features from masked image regions. This strategy introduces artificial boundaries on the images and may impact the quality of the extracted features. Besides, the operations on the raw image domain require to compute thousands of networks on a single image, which is time-consuming. In this paper, we propose to exploit shape information via masking convolutional features. The proposal segments (e.g., super-pixels) are treated as masks on the convolutional feature maps. The CNN features of segments are directly masked out from these maps and used to train classifiers for recognition. We further propose a joint method to handle objects and "stuff" (e.g., grass, sky, water) in the same framework. State-of-the-art results are demonstrated on benchmarks of PASCAL VOC and new PASCAL-CONTEXT, with a compelling computational speed.

description: Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) is a roundworm that, thanks to its combination of biological simplicity and behavioral richness, offers an excellent opportunity for initial experimentation of many human diseases. In this work, we introduce a locomotion model for C. elegans, which can enable in-silico validation of behavioral experiments prior to physical experimentation with actual C. elegans specimens. Our model enables interactive simulation of self-propelling C. elegans, using as sole input biologically inspired muscle forces and frictional contact. The key to our model is a simple locomotion control strategy that activates selected natural vibration modes of the worm. We perform an offline analysis of the natural vibration modes, select those that best match the deformation of the worm during locomotion, and design force profiles that activate these vibration modes in a coordinated manner. Together with force compensation for momentum conservation and an anisotropic friction model, we achieve locomotions that match qualitatively those of real-world worms. Our approach is general, and could be extended to the locomotion of other types of animals or characters.

description: In 2023, two Mw>7.5 earthquakes struck the East Anatolian Fault, Türkiye, causing more slip than expected. Such superevents could be part of a supercycle, wherein the likelihood of a large earthquake is determined by accumulated strain rather than time since past earthquakes. Here, we focus on how supercycles work. We examined the last four strong sequences along the East Anatolian Fault and discovered progressively younger and nonuniform earthquakes moving southwestward. This pattern corresponds to a general progression and dispersion of seismic ruptures southwestward. We use this pattern as a proxy to understand the mechanism of at least two major supercycles identified over the last two millennia. The supercycles evolved from the northeast, spreading southwestward with an increasing number of earthquakes. Earthquakes to the northeast are spatially and kinematically well channelized along the main fault, efficiently translating slip toward the southwest, where dispersed and kinematically nonuniform earthquakes are triggered by the push from the northeast until a new supercycle restarts from the northeast. To advance our understanding of earthquake occurrences that go beyond individual events, the next step is to examine seismic slip channeling elsewhere.

description: In the presented paper a family of angiogenesis models, that is a generalisation of Hahnfeldt et al. model is proposed. Considered family of models is a system of two differential equations with distributed time delays. The global existence and the uniqueness of the solutions are proved. Moreover, the stability of the unique positive steady state is examined in the case when delay distributions are Erlang or piecewise linear distributions. Theorems guaranteeing the existence of stability switches and occurrence of the Hopf bifurcation are proved. Theoretical results are illustrated by numerical analysis performed for parameters estimated by Hahnfeldt et al. (Cancer Res., 1999).

Heterotrimeric G Protein–Coupled Signaling in Plants

description: Investigators studying G protein–coupled signaling—often called the best-understood pathway in the world owing to intense research in medical fields—have adopted plants as a new model to explore the plasticity and evolution of G signaling. Much research on plant G signaling has not disappointed. Although plant cells have most of the core elements found in animal G signaling, differences in network architecture and intrinsic properties of plant G protein elements make G signaling in plant cells distinct from the animal paradigm. In contrast to animal G proteins, plant G proteins are self-activating, and therefore regulation of G activation in plants occurs at the deactivation step. The self-activating property also means that plant G proteins do not need and therefore do not have typical animal G protein–coupled receptors. Targets of activated plant G proteins, also known as effectors, are unlike effectors in animal cells. The simpler repertoire of G signal elements in Arabidopsis makes G signaling easier to manipulate in a multicellular context.
