description: Reservoir computing is a machine learning paradigm that uses a high-dimensional dynamical system, or \emph{reservoir}, to approximate and predict time series data. The scale, speed and power usage of reservoir computers could be enhanced by constructing reservoirs out of electronic circuits, and several experimental studies have demonstrated promise in this direction. However, designing quality reservoirs requires a precise understanding of how such circuits process and store information. We analyze the feasibility and optimal design of electronic reservoirs that include both linear elements (resistors, inductors, and capacitors) and nonlinear memory elements called memristors. We provide analytic results regarding the feasibility of these reservoirs, and give a systematic characterization of their computational properties by examining the types of input-output relationships that they can approximate. This allows us to design reservoirs with optimal properties. By introducing measures of the total linear and nonlinear computational capacities of the reservoir, we are able to design electronic circuits whose total computational capacity scales extensively with the system size. Our electronic reservoirs can match or exceed the performance of conventional "echo state network" reservoirs in a form that may be directly implemented in hardware.

description: We report on the measurement of the contribution of the magnetic-dipole hyperfine interaction to the tensor polarizability of the electronic ground-state in $^{87}$Rb. This contribution was isolated by measuring the differential shift of the clock transition frequency in $^{87}$Rb atoms that were optically trapped in the focus of an intense CO$_2$ laser beam. By comparing to previous tensor polarizability measurements in $^{87}$Rb, the contribution of the interaction with the nuclear electric-quadrupole moment was isolated as well. Our measurement will enable better estimation of black-body shifts in Rb atomic clocks. The methods reported here are applicable for future spectroscopic studies of atoms and molecules under strong quasi-static fields.

description: Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) observations are used to constrain reheating to Standard Model (SM) particles after a period of inflation. As a light spectator field, the SM Higgs boson acquires large field values from its quantum fluctuations during inflation, gives masses to SM particles that vary from one Hubble patch to another, and thereby produces large density fluctuations. We consider both perturbative and resonant decay of the inflaton to SM particles. For the case of perturbative decay from coherent oscillations of the inflaton after high scale inflation, we find strong constraints on the reheat temperature for the inflaton decay into heavy SM particles. For the case of resonant particle production (preheating) to (Higgsed) SM gauge bosons, we find temperature fluctuations larger than observed in the CMB for a range of gauge coupling that includes those found in the SM and conclude that such preheating cannot be the main source of reheating the Universe after inflation.

description: Polyphenol epicatechin has been investigated by the biological effects on the reduction of the catabolic process in skeletal musculature-related diseases. Due to the potential benefits described in the literature and clinical relevance, the purpose of this systematic review was to conduct an analysis of epicatechin effects on muscular atrophy in humans and animals. A search was conducted in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science and Cochraine Library databases, with no restriction concerning the year of publication, by combining the following keywords: “Catechin AND muscular atrophy”, “Epicatechin AND muscle regeneration”, “Epicatechin AND muscle AND damage”. A total of 241 articles were initially identified, being that 14 studies were selected once they complied with the eligibility criteria. The qualitative analysis showed a prevalence of the inhibitory action of epicatechin in myostatin expression and atrogenes FOXO, MAFbx and MuRF1. Epicatechin showed positive effects on increased follistatin and on the activation of the myogenic regulatory factors (Myf5, MyoD and myogenin). In addition, the studies evidenced the impact of epicatechin on the mitochondrias' biosynthesis in muscle fibers, activation of the signaling pathway of AKT/mTOR protein synthesis and improvement of the skeletal musculature performance, particularly when associated to physical training. In conclusion, epicatechin showed a promising clinical applicability through beneficial results under conditions which negatively affect the skeletal musculature. However, there's no standardization of protocol allowing to draw more specific conclusions on its therapeutic use.

description: Quantum emitters in confined arrays exhibit geometry dependent collective dynamics. In particular, nanoscopic regular polygon-shaped arrays can possess sub-radiant states with an exciton lifetime growing exponentially with emitter number. We show that by placing an extra resonant absorptive dipole at the ring center, such a structure becomes a highly efficient single-photon absorber with tailorable frequency. Interestingly, for exactly nine emitters in a nonagon, as it appears in a common biological light-harvesting complex (LHC2), we find a distinct minimum for its most dark state decay rate and a maximum of the effective absorption cross-section, surpassing that for a single absorptive emitter. The origin of this optimum for nine emitters can be geometrically traced to the fact that the sum of coupling strengths of a single ring emitter to all others including the center ring closely matches the coupling of the center to all ring emitters. The emerging dark collective eigenstate has dominant center occupation facilitating efficient energy absorption and fast transport. The resonance frequency can be tuned via ring size and dipole polarization. In analogy to parabolic antennas, the ring concentrates the incoming radiation at the center without being significantly excited, which minimizes transport loss and time.

description: We study the binding of a small black hole to a positive-tension brane in the second Randall-Sundrum scenario (RS2) with orbifold symmetry. We find that a small black hole on the brane has substantial gravitational binding energy to the brane, and is stable against escaping into the bulk. This result can be applied in other models with an orbifold-symmetric brane. We also find a novel static black hole, which is completely localized off the brane and is unstable against translations transverse to the brane. Our results are obtained analytically by applying a variational principle to black hole initial data. This paper is the second in a series on asymptotically RS black holes.

description: In this article we propose a heuristic algorithm to explore search space trees associated with instances of combinatorial optimization problems. The algorithm is based on Monte Carlo tree search, a popular algorithm in game playing that is used to explore game trees and represents the state-of-the-art algorithm for a number of games. Several enhancements to Monte Carlo tree search are proposed that make the algorithm more suitable in a combinatorial optimization context. These enhancements exploit the combinatorial structure of the problem and aim to efficiently explore the search space tree by pruning subtrees, using a heuristic simulation policy, reducing the domains of variables by eliminating dominated value assignments and using a beam width. The algorithm was implemented with its components specifically tailored to two combinatorial optimization problems: the quay crane scheduling problem with non-crossing constraints and the 0-1 knapsack problem. For the first problem our algorithm surpasses the state-of-the-art results and several new best solutions are found for a benchmark set of instances. For the second problem our algorithm typically produces near-optimal solutions that are slightly worse than the state-of-the-art results, but it needs only a small fraction of the time to do so. These results indicate that the algorithm is competitive with the state-of-the-art for two entirely different combinatorial optimization problems.

description: We report long-term laser frequency stabilization using only the target laser and a pair of 5 m fiber interferometers, one as a frequency reference and the second as a sensitive thermometer to stabilize the frequency reference. When used to stabilize a distributed feedback laser at 795 nm, the frequency Allan deviation at 1000 s drops from 5.6*10^{-8} to 6.9*10^{-10}. The performance equals that of an offset lock employing a second, atom-stabilized laser in the temperature control.

description: ARTI is a complete framework designed to simulate the signals produced by the secondary particles emerging from the interaction of single, multiple and even, the complete flux of primary cosmic rays with the atmosphere. These signals are simulated for any particle detector located at any place (latitude, longitude and altitude), including the real-time atmospheric, geomagnetic and detector conditions. Formulated through a sequence of codes written in C++, Fortran, Bash and Perl, it provides an easy-to-use integration of three different simulation environments: magnetocosmic, CORSIKA and Geant4. These tools evaluate the geomagnetic field effects on the primary flux, the atmospheric showers of cosmic rays and the detectors' response to the secondary flux of particles. In this work, we exhibit the usage of the ARTI framework by calculating the total expected flux of signals at eight selected sites of the Latin American Giant Observatory, a cosmic ray Observatory located in Latin America covering a wide range altitudes, latitudes and geomagnetic rigidities. ARTI also calculates the flux of signals expected during the sudden occurrence of a gamma-ray burst or the flux of energetic photons originating in steady gamma sources. It also compares these fluxes with the expected background to detect these phenomena in a single water Cherenkov detector deployed in high altitude sites. Even more, by using ARTI, it is possible to calculate in a very precise way the expected flux of high energetic muons and other secondaries on the ground and to inject it over a geological structure for muography applications.

description: We study the model of the totally asymmetric exclusion process with generalized update, which compared to the usual totally asymmetric exclusion process, has an additional parameter enhancing clustering of particles. We derive the exact multiparticle distributions of distances travelled by particles on the infinite lattice for two types of initial conditions: step and alternating once. Two different scaling limits of the exact formulas are studied. Under the first scaling associated to Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class we prove convergence of joint distributions of the scaled particle positions to finite-dimensional distributions of the universal Airy$_2$ and Airy$_1$ processes. Under the second scaling we prove convergence of the same position distributions to finite-dimensional distributions of two new random processes, which describe the transition between the KPZ regime and the deterministic aggregation regime, in which the particles stick together into a single giant cluster moving as one particle. It is shown that the transitional distributions have the Airy processes and fully correlated Gaussian fluctuations as limiting cases. We also give the heuristic arguments explaining how the non-universal scaling constants appearing from the asymptotic analysis in the KPZ regime are related to the properties of translationally invariant stationary states in the infinite system and how the parameters of the model should scale in the transitional regime.

description: We apply a new mass formula which is derived analytically in the relativistic flux tube model to the mass spectra of $Λ_Q$ and $Ξ_Q$ (\emph{Q} = \emph{c} or \emph{b} quark) baryons. To this end, the heavy quark-light diquark picture is employed. We find that all masses of the available $Λ_Q$ and $Ξ_Q$ states can be understood well. The assignments to these states do not appear to contradict the strong decay properties. $Λ_c(2760)^+$ and $Ξ_c(2980)$ are assigned to the first radial excitations with $J^P = 1/2^+$. $Λ_c(2940)^+$ and $Ξ_c(3123)$ might be the 2\emph{P} states. The $Λ_c(2880)^+$ and $Ξ_c(3080)$ are the good 1\emph{D} candidates with $J^P = 5/2^+$. $Ξ_c(3055)$ is likely to be a 1\emph{D} state with $J^P = 3/2^+$. $Λ_b(5912)^0$ and $Λ_b(5920)^0$ favor the 1\emph{P} assignments with $J^P = 1/2^-$ and $3/2^-$, respectively. We propose a search for the $\tildeΛ_{c2}(5/2^-)$ state which can help to distinguish the diquark and three-body schemes.

description: Though several maize varieties have been developed and introduced over the years in Ghana, farmers still face challenges of access to quality seed maize. Among the major constraints is lack of proper drying systems to quarantee quality of seed produced. Peculiar to most parts of Africa, drying of maize in the open, on bare ground along shoulders of roads is still a common practice in Ghana. In this study, a 5-tonne capacity solar biomass hybrid dryer was developed for drying maize for seed and food/feed in Ghana. Effect of drying air temperature in the dryer on the physiological quality and germination of maize kernels was investigated. Maize grains were dried in the open sun simulating farmers practice and using the dryer at 4 varying levels (L1, L2, L3 and L4) with corresponding heights (0.6m, 1.2m, 1.8m and 2.4m) respectively. Harvested maize at 22.8% moisture content was dried at the varying levels until reaching overall mean moisture content of 12.8 ± 0.2% (wb). Results showed that, drying air temperatures in the dryer increased in accordance with height with lowest mean temperature of 44.4 ± 4.6°C recorded at L1 and mean maximum of 52.8 ± 5.4 °C at L4. The increase in drying temperature at L4 increased kernel stress crack index by an average of 14% and reduced germination by 33%. However, drying temperatures at L1-L3 and in the open sun had no significant effect (p > 0.05) on the germination potential of maize grains. This satisfies the dryer’s potential to be used for drying maize grains for high quality seed production on commercial scale.

description: Raman spectroscopy combined with multivariate analysis was used to examine the molecular mechanism of carboplatin toxicity in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma epithelioid cell line CNE-1. Multivariate analysis was performed through principal component analysis combined with linear discriminant analysis, through which a diagnostic algorithm that could discriminate between the control and treatment groups was generated. Compared with the control group (0 μmol/L, 0 hour), the 2 protein Raman peaks (1002 cm−1 and 1659 cm−1) and the 2 deoxyribonucleic acid Raman peaks (1303 cm−1 and 1338 cm−1) in the treatment group decreased with increasing carboplatin concentrations as well as with increasing treatment durations. Using principal component analysis combined with linear discriminant analysis, the discrimination accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity between the control group and the cell groups treated at 12 and 16 μmol/L carboplatin for 24 hours were all 100%, suggesting that 16 μmol/L is suitable as the therapeutic dosing. Using the same method, the discrimination accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity between the control group and the cell groups that were treated with 12 μmol/L carboplatin for 24 and 36 hours were all 100%, indicating that 24 hours could be suitable treatment duration. These results suggest that Raman spectroscopy combined with multivariate statistical analysis could be a useful tool for assessing carboplatin-induced cytotoxicity in human nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.

description: Anthony (Tony) Laughton was an oceanographer who promoted the science of oceanograpy in Britain. Focusing on the shape of the seafloor, his work included underwater photography, ocean drilling, long-range side-scan sonar and scientific charting of the ocean floor. Following undergraduate studies at King's College, Cambridge, he joined Maurice Hill (FRS 1962) at the Cambridge Department of Geodesy and Geophysics, beginning a career in marine geophysics. Following his PhD, he spent a year at Lamont Geological Observatory, USA, where he met many leading US workers, and became interested in deep-seafloor photography and bathymetric mapping. Returning to the UK, he joined the National Institute of Oceanography (Institute of Oceanographic Sciences from 1973) at Wormley, Surrey, and became director in 1978. He developed the first UK seafloor camera, was an enthusiastic supporter and user of the revolutionary Precision Echo Sounder and later of the GLORIA long-range side-scan sonar. He played a significant part in the International Indian Ocean Expedition, subsequently developing a new understanding of the Gulf of Aden. A consummate committee man, he had a vital role in reviving the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans and promoted UK involvement in the international Deep-Sea Drilling Project. He was an accomplished amateur musician (playing French horn), small-boat sailor and handyman.
Application of adapted-bubbles to the Helmholtz equation with large wave numbers in 2d

description: An adapted bubble approach which is a modifiation of the residual-free bubbles (RFB) method, is proposed for the Helmhotz problem in 2D. A new two-level finite element method is introduced for the approximations of the bubble functions. Unlike the other equations such as the advection-diffusion equation, RFB method when applied to the Helmholtz equation, does not depend on another stabilized method to obtain approximations to the solutions of the sub-problems. Adapted bubbles (AB) are obtained by a simple modification of the sub-problems. This modification increases the accuracy of the numerical solution impressively. The AB method is able to solve the Helmholtz equation efficiently in 2D up to ch = 3.5 where c is the wave number and h is the mesh size. We provide analysis to show how the AB method mitigates the pollution error.

description: Dark matter is a vital component of the current best model of our universe, $Λ$CDM. There are leading candidates for what the dark matter could be (e.g. weakly-interacting massive particles, or axions), but no compelling observational or experimental evidence exists to support these particular candidates, nor any beyond-the-Standard-Model physics that might produce such candidates. This suggests that other dark matter candidates, including ones that might arise in the Standard Model, should receive increased attention. Here we consider a general class of dark matter candidates with characteristic masses and interaction cross-sections characterized in units of grams and cm$^2$, respectively -- we therefore dub these macroscopic objects as Macros. Such dark matter candidates could potentially be assembled out of Standard Model particles (quarks and leptons) in the early universe. A combination of Earth-based, astrophysical, and cosmological observations constrain a portion of the Macro parameter space. A large region of parameter space remains, most notably for nuclear-dense objects with masses in the range $55 - 10^{17}$ g and $2\times10^{20} - 4\times10^{24}$ g, although the lower mass window is closed for Macros that destabilize ordinary matter.

description: We consider the degree distributions of preferential attachment random graph models with choice similar to those considered in recent work by Malyshkin and Paquette and Krapivsky and Redner. In these models a new vertex chooses $r$ vertices according to a preferential rule and connects to the vertex in the selection with the $s$th highest degree. For meek choice, where $s>1$, we show that both double exponential decay of the degree distribution and condensation-like behaviour are possible, and provide a criterion to distinguish between them. For greedy choice, where $s=1$, we confirm that the degree distribution asympotically follows a power law with logarithmic correction when $r=2$ and shows condensation-like behaviour when $r>2$.

description: The Canadian federal prison population is aging, with facilities operated by the Correctional Service of Canada struggling to adequately meet the healthcare needs of these incarcerated persons. The Correctional Investigator of Canada and the Canadian Human Rights Commission recommended that expanded access to early forms of release, including compassionate release, for aging incarcerated persons would address many of these deficiencies. This study recruited 13 current and former Correctional Service of Canada staff members across four professions (nurses, psychologists, physicians and correctional officers) for qualitative interviews to discuss access to healthcare and obstacles to compassionate and other forms of early release for aging incarcerated persons. Additional focus was placed on access and obstacles for aging incarcerated persons convicted of sexual offences, a large and growing proportion of the aging federal prison population in Canada. A poststructuralist theoretical framework guided the research question, methodology and analysis. A thematic analysis methodology permitted interrogation of the power relations of the correctional system and the production of incarcerated person subjectivities. Results indicated that the healthcare needs of aging incarcerated persons often go unmet, and that reliance of regional hospitals and psychiatric facilities is required to address these needs. Access to early release is complicated, lengthy, and often not approved. Power relations and subjectivities figured prominently in the prioritization of risk management above all other measures in the consideration of early release. As a result, many aging incarcerated persons die in prison. Improved access to healthcare and expediting and expanding access to early release offer opportunities to better meet the healthcare needs of aging incarcerated persons, and permit death with dignity outside of correctional institutions.

description: Our aim of this paper is to propose a method of analytic continuation of Carlitz multiple (star) polylogarithms to the whole space by using Artin-Schreier equation and present a treatment of their branches by introducing the notion of monodromy modules. As applications of this method, we obtain (1) a method of continuation of the logarithms of higher tensor powers of Carlitz module, (2) the orthogonal property (Chang-Mishiba functional relations), (3) a branch independency of the Eulerian property.

Simplifying Karnaugh Maps by Making Groups of a Non-Power-of-Two Number of Elements

description: When we study the Karnaugh map in the switching theory course, we learn that the ones in the map must be combined in groups of $a \times b$ elements, being $a$ and $b$ powers of two. The result is the logic function described as a sum of products. This paper shows that we can also make groups where $a$ and/or $b$ are equal to three. This does not result in a sum of products, but in a logic function that is simpler than the sum of products in terms of logic gates. This idea is extended later in the paper to groups of $2^n-1$ elements.

description: Romosozumab is a novel drug for the treatment of osteoporosis. The adverse reactions of romosozumab still need to be explored. The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) provides an enormous dataset for adverse events (AEs) analysis. AEs registered in FAERS between January 2019 and December 2020 were collected for this study. The reporting odds ratio (ROR) method was applied to analyze the AEs of romosozumab. The number of AEs ≥4 cases and ROR value 95% confidence interval (CI) lower limit >1 was considered statistically significant. A total of 4,413,695 AEs were collected for this study. There were 1,948 AEs related with romosozumab reported in FAERS. There are 1851 AEs including 17 system classifications after filtered. Injection site pain (ROR = 6.89, CI = 5.60, 8.48), cardiac failure (ROR = 12.62, CI = 9.85, 16.17), renal impairment (ROR = 9.11, CI = 6.98, 11.89), pneumonia (ROR = 1.53, CI = 1.10, 2.21), blood alkaline phosphatase increased (ROR = 14.60, CI = 9.28, 22.97) were possible AEs after romosozumab application. Our study provides an adverse reaction warning for the clinical application of romosozumab and provides a real-world disproportionality analysis data support for the possible AEs of romosozumab.

description: Alexander (Alex) Dalgarno greatly advanced the quantitative study of fundamental atomic and molecular processes, contributed significantly to atmospheric science and 'established molecular astrophysics as a unified intellectual field of great scientific endeavour, impact and achievement' (Flannery 2010). Alex developed and applied techniques that simplify calculations and lead to reliable solutions, enabling him to make landmark contributions to the knowledge of collisionally induced charge transfer, rotational and vibrational excitation of molecules, spin exchange and ultracold chemistry. His wide-ranging curiosity, disciplined steps to broaden his programme and ability to identify dominant physical processes and calculate their rates led to his many important contributions to atmospheric science. For example, Alex greatly expanded the knowledge of terrestrial airglow features, photoabsorption and collisional processes in the terrestrial ozone layer and deposition by energetic electrons in the atmospheres of other planets. In molecular astrophysics, he applied that same systematic approach to studies of a range of environments from the early Universe to present-day UV-irradiated interstellar clouds, shocks and supernova ejecta. Alex made availability to students a priority and encouraged them to pursue problems that they devised, despite his seemingly inexhaustible supply of suitable projects. His community service included his 29-year long editorship of Astrophysical Journal Letters, starting in 1973, and the founding of the Institute of Theoretical Atomic and Molecular Physics at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, in 1988, owing to his concerns for the health of the fields of theoretical atomic and molecular physics and fundamental quantum mechanics, which the Institute did much to reinvigorate.

description: Early, precise detection of nutrient deficiency stress (NDS) has key economic as well as environmental impact; precision application of chemicals in place of blanket application reduces operational costs for the growers while reducing the amount of chemicals which may enter the environment unnecessarily. Furthermore, earlier treatment reduces the amount of loss and therefore boosts crop production during a given season. With this in mind, we collect sequences of high-resolution aerial imagery and construct semantic segmentation models to detect and predict NDS across the field. Our work sits at the intersection of agriculture, remote sensing, and modern computer vision and deep learning. First, we establish a baseline for full-field detection of NDS and quantify the impact of pretraining, backbone architecture, input representation, and sampling strategy. We then quantify the amount of information available at different points in the season by building a single-timestamp model based on a UNet. Next, we construct our proposed spatiotemporal architecture, which combines a UNet with a convolutional LSTM layer, to accurately detect regions of the field showing NDS; this approach has an impressive IOU score of 0.53. Finally, we show that this architecture can be trained to predict regions of the field which are expected to show NDS in a later flight -- potentially more than three weeks in the future -- maintaining an IOU score of 0.47-0.51 depending on how far in advance the prediction is made. We will also release a dataset which we believe will benefit the computer vision, remote sensing, as well as agriculture fields. This work contributes to the recent developments in deep learning for remote sensing and agriculture, while addressing a key social challenge with implications for economics and sustainability.

description: Compared to NDT and health monitoring method for cracks in engineering structures, surface crack detection or identification based on visible light images is non-contact, with the advantages of fast speed, low cost and high precision. Firstly, typical pavement (concrete also) crack public data sets were collected, and the characteristics of sample images as well as the random variable factors, including environmental, noise and interference etc., were summarized. Subsequently, the advantages and disadvantages of three main crack identification methods (i.e., hand-crafted feature engineering, machine learning, deep learning) were compared. Finally, from the aspects of model architecture, testing performance and predicting effectiveness, the development and progress of typical deep learning models, including self-built CNN, transfer learning(TL) and encoder-decoder(ED), which can be easily deployed on embedded platform, were reviewed. The benchmark test shows that: 1) It has been able to realize real-time pixel-level crack identification on embedded platform: the entire crack detection average time cost of an image sample is less than 100ms, either using the ED method (i.e., FPCNet) or the TL method based on InceptionV3. It can be reduced to less than 10ms with TL method based on MobileNet (a lightweight backbone base network). 2) In terms of accuracy, it can reach over 99.8% on CCIC which is easily identified by human eyes. On SDNET2018, some samples of which are difficult to be identified, FPCNet can reach 97.5%, while TL method is close to 96.1%. To the best of our knowledge, this paper for the first time comprehensively summarizes the pavement crack public data sets, and the performance and effectiveness of surface crack detection and identification deep learning methods for embedded platform, are reviewed and evaluated.

description: Humans form rapid impressions of other people’s dyadic social interactions (e.g., Quadflieg & Westmoreland, 2019). Recent evidence indicates that these impressions can be influenced by the interaction’s perceived racial diversity. For example, cross-race interactions (e.g., between a Black and a White person) are often evaluated less favourably than same-race interactions (e.g., between two Black or two White people) on a number of dimensions, such as relationship depth or warmth (e.g., Chuang et al., 2021; Lalonde et al., 2007; Lewandowski & Jackson, 2001; Wang, Schubert & Quadflieg, 2019). Yet, little is known about how an interaction’s racial diversity can impact judgments about relationship types (e.g., whether two people are perceived as lovers or friends). The current study aims to investigate this issue.
