description: In this paper we propose a method to model speaker and session variability and able to generate likelihood ratios using neural networks in an end-to-end phrase dependent speaker verification system. As in Joint Factor Analysis, the model uses tied hidden variables to model speaker and session variability and a MAP adaptation of some of the parameters of the model. In the training procedure our method jointly estimates the network parameters and the values of the speaker and channel hidden variables. This is done in a two-step backpropagation algorithm, first the network weights and factor loading matrices are updated and then the hidden variables, whose gradients are calculated by aggregating the corresponding speaker or session frames, since these hidden variables are tied. The last layer of the network is defined as a linear regression probabilistic model whose inputs are the previous layer outputs. This choice has the advantage that it produces likelihoods and additionally it can be adapted during the enrolment using MAP without the need of a gradient optimization. The decisions are made based on the ratio of the output likelihoods of two neural network models, speaker adapted and universal background model. The method was evaluated on the RSR2015 database.

description: Introduction: Soft/dynamic braces today are used all over the world under the name of SpineCor. The marketing concept is very effective in promoting the soft brace as the first and only ‘dynamic’ brace. A short review has been undertaken, investigating the history of dynamic braces and devices available today. Short Communication: The use of soft braces to treat scoliosis has been documented by Schanz as early as 1904. In his book, various soft and hard braces with soft add-ons are described as state of the art in the nineteenth century. Many of these soft braces were developed by Fischer. Today, shortcomings of the dynamic brace have been revealed in literature in comparison with hard braces; however, the concept of improving the quality of life while under brace treatment should be considered further. The purpose of this review is to highlight the history of soft braces and to present recent developments. Conclusion: There is more than one soft brace used today, and the history of soft bracing is long (over 120 years). Claims made by a company to distribute the first and only soft/dynamic brace is misleading.

description: Purpose: Radiation biology is a branch of the radiation research field which focuses on studying radiation effects in cells and organisms. Radiation can be used in biological investigations for two, mutually non-exclusive reasons: (1) to study biological processes by perturbing their functioning (qualitative approach) and (2) to assess consequences of radiation-induced damage (quantitative approach). While the former approach has a basic research character, the latter has an applied character that is driven by needs of medical applications and radiological protection. Radiation protection biology is defined in the sense of the second approach. The aim of the article is to provide a historical review of how radiation protection biology developed and how it influences radiological protection. Conclusions: While radiobiological investigations started immediately after the discovery of X-rays, the qualitative approach dominated until the end of World War II. After 1945, the nuclear weapons race and nuclear energy programs initiated quantitative radiobiological research. Radiation protection biology does not provide results from which radiation risks can be directly derived. Rather, it provides data that is necessary for understanding the nature of risks. Most recent years have seen, especially in Europe, a growing interest in coordinated studies on the effects of low radiation doses.

description: In stark contrast with three-dimensional (3D) nanostructures, we show that boundary scattering in two-dimensional (2D) nanoribbons alone does not lead to a finite phonon mean free path. If combined with an intrinsic scattering mechanism, 2D boundary scattering does reduce the overall mean free path, however the latter does not scale proportionally to the ribbon width, unlike the well known Casimir regime occurring in 3D nanowires. We show that boundary scattering can be accounted for by a simple Mathiessen type approach for many different 3D nanowire cross sectional shapes, however this is not possible in the 2D nanoribbon case, where a complete solution of the Boltzmann transport equation is required. These facts have strong implications for the thermal conductivity of suspended nanostructures.

description: Space dependent diffusion of micrometer sized particles has been directly observed using digital video microscopy. The particles were trapped between two nearly parallel walls making their confinement position dependent. Consequently, not only did we measure a diffusion coefficient which depended on the particles' position, but also report and explain a new effect: a drift of the particles' individual positions in the direction of the diffusion coefficient gradient, in the absence of any external force or concentration gradient.

The nature of the non-linear behavior depends upon the parameters that define the system.

description: Mutations in the ubiquitin ligase scaffold protein Cullin 3 (CUL3) cause the disease familial hyperkalemic hypertension (FHHt). In the kidney, mutant CUL3 (CUL3-Δ9) increases abundance of With-No-Lysine [K] Kinase 4 (WNK4), with excessive activation of the downstream Sterile 20 (STE20)/SPS-1–related proline/alanine-rich kinase (SPAK) increasing phosphorylation of the Na+-Cl– cotransporter (NCC). CUL3-Δ9 promotes its own degradation via autoubiquitination, leading to the hypothesis that Cul3 haploinsufficiency causes FHHt. To directly test this, we generated Cul3 heterozygous mice (CUL3-Het), and Cul3 heterozygotes also expressing CUL3-Δ9 (CUL3-Het/
Δ9), using an inducible renal epithelial–specific system. Endogenous CUL3 was reduced to 50% in both models, and consistent with autoubiquitination, CUL3-Δ9 protein was undetectable in CUL3-Het/Δ9 kidneys unless primary renal epithelia cells were cultured. Abundances of WNK4
and phosphorylated NCC did not differ between control and CUL3-Het mice, but they were elevated in CUL3-Het/Δ9 mice, which also displayed higher plasma [K+] and blood pressure. Abundance of phosphorylated Na+-K+-2Cl– cotransporter (NKCC2) was also increased, which may contribute to the severity of CUL3-Δ9–mediated FHHt. WNK4 and SPAK localized to puncta in NCC-positive
segments but not in NKCC2-positive segments, suggesting differential effects of CUL3-Δ9. These results indicate that Cul3 haploinsufficiency does not cause FHHt, but dominant effects of CUL3-Δ9 are required.

Toward More Reliable Analytic Thermochemical-equilibrium Abundances

description: Heng & Tsai (2016) developed an analytic framework to obtain thermochemical-equilibrium abundances for H$_{2}$O, CO, CO$_2$, CH$_4$, C$_{2}$H$_{2}$, C$_{2}$H$_{4}$, HCN, NH$_3$, and N$_2$ for a system with known temperature, pressure, and elemental abundances (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen). However, the implementation of their approach can become numerically unstable under certain circumstances, leading to inaccurate solutions (e.g., ${\rm C/O} \ge 1$ atmospheres at low pressures). Building up on their approach, we identified the conditions that prompt inaccurate solutions, and developed a new framework to avoid them, providing a reliable implementation for arbitrary values of temperature (200 to $\sim$2000 K), pressure ($10^{-8}$ to $10^{3}$ bar), and CNO abundances ($10^{-3}$ to $\sim 10^{2}\times$ solar elemental abundances), for hydrogen-dominated atmospheres. The accuracy our analytic framework is better than 10% for the more abundant species that have mixing fractions larger than $10^{-10}$, whereas the accuracy is better than 50% for the less abundant species. Additionally, we added the equilibrium-abundance calculation of atomic and molecular hydrogen into the system, and explored the physical limitations of this approach. Efficient and reliable tools, such as this one, are highly valuable for atmospheric Bayesian studies, which need to evaluate a large number of models. We implemented our analytic framework into the \textsc{rate} Python open-source package, available at https://github.com/pcubillos/rate .

description: In the ring-shaped tunnel-junction array with four islands, the secondary Coulomb blockade gap in a low bias-voltage range is observed in the I-V characteristics. We attribute its appearance to the unique topology of the array which induces up to two electrons to get trapped inside. We have analyzed the formation and destruction of the gap in terms of detailed single-electron tunneling processes. The negative differential resistance behavior when the thermal and quantum fluctuations are present is also studied.

description: Revealing the future spatial-temporal patterns of heatwave impacts on crops due to global climate change is of great scientific significance for climate change-related agricultural hazards prevention. However, the prediction of future wheat heatwave considering the planting distribution, growth period of wheat, as well as heatwave frequencies, days, and intensities remain poorly understood. In this paper, using predicted meteorological data of the Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) scenario from 2011 to 2099 as well as a set of indicators that include heatwave days, frequencies and effective accumulative high temperatures, a comprehensive evaluation was performed to characterize the spatial-temporal variability of the heatwave hazard impacts on wheat in northern China under extreme climate scenarios. The results indicate that heatwaves across the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, Xinjiang, western Gansu and the agro-pastoral ecotone are most frequent in the long-term. Heatwaves show significant increasing trends with regard to future occurrence frequency, days and intensities. The heatwave hazard on the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain, Northeast China, and the agro-pastoral ecotone shows a rapid growth trend, and there is a clear transition from relatively low heatwave hazard to a higher hazard. We argue that the continuous increase in heatwaves may pose a great threat to wheat production in northern China.

description: Amidst growing demands for more democratic forms of organizing, we argue that better understanding the origins of transformational leadership theory offers a way forward. Transformational leadership theory, originally developed by American political scientist James MacGregor Burns in the late 1970s, is the best-known and most influential leadership theory in management studies. Transformational leaders are visionaries who engage with followers’ higher-level needs and inspire them to deliver extraordinary outcomes for their organizations. Democracy was at the core of Burns’ conception of transformational leadership: voters selected their leaders and voted them out if they failed to deliver on their visions. However, this was overlooked by those who introduced the theory to management studies. Using intellectual history, we contrast the conventional representation of transformational leadership theory in business with Burns’ original conception. We explore how and why the democratic foundation of the theory was lost, why this matters, and what can be done to recover it.

description: We investigate the X-ray spectra of the type-2 Seyfert galaxies NGC 7172 and ESO 103-G35, using BeppoSAX observations, separated by approximately one year. We find that the X-ray spectra of both NGC 7172 and ESO 103-G35 can be well fitted using a power-law model with an Fe K emission line at 6.4 keV. We did not find any statistically significant evidence for the existence of a reflection component in the X-ray spectra of these two galaxies. The continuum flux has decreased by a factor of approximately two during this period, in both objects. However, the spectral index as well as the absorption column have remained constant. We find weak evidence for the decrease of the normalization of the Fe K emission line in a similar manner to the continuum in NGC7172. We also report evidence for a broad Fe K confirming previous observations. In contrast, in the case of ESO 103-G35 the line flux does not change while its width remains unresolved.

These results could apply to nanoelectromechanical devices based on cantilevered carbon nanotubes.

description: Of late, many synthesis processes have been studied to develop irregular nano-morphologies of gold nanostructures for biomedical applications in order to increase the efficacy of nanoparticle theranostics, tune the plasmonic absorbance spectra, and increase the sensitivity of biomolecule detection through surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Here we report, a novel, non-seed mediated versatile single pot synthesis method capable of producing hyperbranched gold “nano-polyvilli” with more than 50–90 branching nanowires propagating from a single origin within each structure. The technique was capable of achieving precise tuning of the branch propagation where the branching could be controlled by varying the duration of incubation, temperature, and hydrogen ion concentration.

description: A theoretical model of resonant hyper-Raman scattering by an ensemble of spherical semiconductor quantum dots has been developed. The electronic intermediate states are described as Wannier-Mott excitons in the framework of the envelope function approximation. The optical polar vibrational modes of the nanocrystallites (vibrons) and their interaction with the electronic system are analized with the help of a continuum model satisfying both the mechanical and electrostatic matching conditions at the interface. An explicit expression for the hyper-Raman scattering efficiency is derived, which is valid for incident two-photon energy close to the exciton resonances. The dipole selection rules for optical transitions and Fröhlich-like exciton-lattice interaction are derived: It is shown that only exciton states with total angular momentum $L=0,1$ and vibrational modes with angular momentum $l_p=1$ contribute to the hyper-Raman scattering process. The associated exciton energies, wavefunctions, and vibron frequencies have been obtained for spherical CdSe zincblende-type nanocrystals, and the corresponding hyper-Raman scattering spectrum and resonance profile are calculated. Their dependence on the dot radius and the influence of the size distribution on them are also discussed.

Evolution of globular cluster systems in three galaxies of the Fornax cluster

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We studied and compared the radial profiles of globular clusters and of the stellar bulge component in three galaxies of the Fornax cluster observed with the WFPC2 of the HST. A careful comparative analysis of these distributions confirms that stars are more concentrated toward the galactic centres than globular clusters, in agreement with what was observed in many other galaxies. If the observed difference is the result of evolution of the globular cluster system sstarting from initial profiles similar to those of the halo--bulge stellar components, a relevant fraction of their mass (74%, 47%, 52% for NGC 1379, NGC 1399 and NGC 1404, respectively) is disappeared in the inner regions, likely contributing to the nuclear field population, local dynamics and high energy phenomena in the primeval life of the galaxy. An indication in favour of the evolutionary interpretation of the difference between the globular cluster system and stellar bulge radial profiles is given by the positive correlation we found between the value of the mass lost from the GCS and the central galactic black hole mass in the set of seven galaxies for which these data are available.

description: Legged robots have the ability to adapt their walking posture to navigate confined spaces due to their high degrees of freedom. However, this has not been exploited in most common multilegged platforms. This paper presents a deformable bounding box abstraction of the robot model, with accompanying mapping and planning strategies, that enable a legged robot to autonomously change its body shape to navigate confined spaces. The mapping is achieved using robot-centric multi-elevation maps generated with distance sensors carried by the robot. The path planning is based on the trajectory optimisation algorithm CHOMP which creates smooth trajectories while avoiding obstacles. The proposed method has been tested in simulation and implemented on the hexapod robot Weaver, which is 33cm tall and 82cm wide when walking normally. We demonstrate navigating under 25cm overhanging obstacles, through 70cm wide gaps and over 22cm high obstacles in both artificial testing spaces and realistic environments, including a subterranean mining tunnel.

description: The mean free path of phonons in superlattices is estimated. It is shown to be strongly dependent on the superlattice period due to the Umklapp scattering in subbands. It first falls with increasing the superlattice period until it becomes comparable with the latter after what it rises back to the bulk value. Similar behavior is expected of heat conductivity, which is proportional to the mean free path.

description: As all-solid-state batteries (SSBs) develop as an alternative to traditional cells, a thorough theoretical understanding of driving forces behind battery operation is needed. We present a fully first-principles-informed model of potential profiles in SSBs and apply the model to the Li/LiPON/$\text{Li}_x\text{CoO}_2$ system. The model predicts interfacial potential drops driven by both electron transfer and Li$^+$ space-charge layers that vary with the SSB's state of charge. The results suggest lower electronic ionization potential in the solid electrolyte favors Li$^+$ transport, leading to higher discharge power.

description: White adipocytes represent the principle site for energy storage whereas brown/beige adipocytes emerge fromseemingly distinct cellular lineages and burn chemical energy to produce heat. Thermogenic adipocytes utilizecell-type selective master regulatory transcription factors to drive the expression of their adipocyte thermogenicgene program. White adipocytes harbor transcriptional mechanisms to suppress the thermogenic gene programand maintain an energy-storing function. Here, we summarize some of the key developmental and transcriptionalmechanisms leading to the postnatal recruitment of thermogenic adipocytes under physiological conditions,with a particular emphasis on the transcriptional “brakes” on the thermogenic gene program. We highlighta number of recent studies, including our own work on the transcription factor, ZFP423, that illustrate thepotential to engineer the subcutaneous and visceral white fat lineages to adopt a thermogenic fat cell fate byreleasing the inhibition of the adipocyte thermogenic gene program. These transcriptional brakes on adipocytethermogenesis may represent potential targets of therapeutic interventions designed to combat obesity andassociated metabolic disorders.

description: We propose that the minimal requirements for a model of stock market price fluctuations should comprise time asymmetry, robustness with respect to connectivity between agents, ``bounded rationality'' and a probabilistic description. We also compare extensively two previously proposed models of log-periodic behavior of the stock market index prior to a large crash. We find that the model which follows the above requirements outperforms the other with a high statistical significance.

description: We discuss Bose-Einstein condensation in a trapped gas of bosonic particles interacting dominantly via dipole-dipole forces. We find that in this case the mean-field interparticle interaction and, hence, the stability diagram are governed by the trapping geometry. Possible physical realisations include ultracold heteronuclear molecules, or atoms with laser induced electric dipole moments.

The evolution of cold neutral gas and the star formation history

description: There is a well known disparity between the evolution the star formation rate density, ψ*, and the abundance of neutral hydrogen (HI), the raw material for star formation. Recently, however, we have shown that ψ* may be correlated with the fraction of cool atomic gas, as traced through the 21-cm absorption of HI. This is expected since star formation requires cold (T ~ 10 K) gas and so this could address the issue of why the star formation rate density does not trace the bulk atomic gas. The data are, however, limited to redshifts of z < 2, where both ψ* and the cold gas fraction exhibit a similar steep climb from the present day (z = 0), and so it is unknown whether the cold gas fraction follows the same decline as ψ* at higher redshift. In order to address this, we have used unpublished archival observations of 21-cm absorption in high redshift damped Lyman-α absorption systems to increase the sample at z > 2. The data suggest that the cold gas fraction does exhibit a decrease, although this is significantly steeper than ψ* at z ~ 3. This is, however, degenerate with the extents of the absorbing galaxy and the background continuum emission and upon removing these, via canonical evolution models, we find the mean spin temperature of the gas to be ~ 3000 K, compared to the ~2000 K expected from the fit at z < 2. These temperatures are consistent with the observed high neutral hydrogen column densities, which require T < 4000 K in order for the gas not to be highly ionised.

description: White adipose tissue (WAT) remodeling is dictated by coordinated interactionsbetween adipocytes and resident stromal-vascular cells; however, the functional heterogeneity ofadipose stromal cells has remained unresolved. We combined single-cell RNA-sequencing andFACS to identify and isolate functionally distinct subpopulations of PDGFRb+ stromal cells withinvisceral WAT of adult mice. LY6C- CD9- PDGFRb+ cells represent highly adipogenic visceraladipocyte precursor cells (‘APCs’), whereas LY6C+ PDGFRb+ cells represent fibro-inflammatoryprogenitors (‘FIPs’). FIPs lack adipogenic capacity, display pro-fibrogenic/pro-inflammatoryphenotypes, and can exert an anti-adipogenic effect on APCs. The pro-inflammatory phenotype ofPDGFRb+ cells is regulated, at least in part, by NR4A nuclear receptors. These data highlight thefunctional heterogeneity of visceral WAT perivascular cells, and provide insight into potential cell-cell interactions impacting adipogenesis and inflammation. These improved strategies to isolateFIPs and APCs from visceral WAT will facilitate the study of physiological WAT remodeling andmechanisms leading to metabolic dysfunction.

description: A new stochastic number projection method is proposed. The component of the BCS wave function corresponding to the right number of particles is obtained by means of a Metropolis algorithm in which the weight functions are constructed from the single-particle occupation probability. Either standard BCS or Lipkin-Nogami probability distributions can be used, thus the method is applicable for any pairing strength. The accuracy of the method is tested in the computation of pairing energies of model and real systems.

description: The overexpression of PTP-LAR could cause the insulin resistance, so PTP-LAR might be a promising target for treating diabetes. In this study, we applied the computer modeling methods with fragment replace approach to screen the fragment database by targeting PTP domain and site B with the aim to discover potent and selective PTP-LAR inhibitors. A series of novel 4-thiazolidone derivatives were gained. The results of their ADMET predictions indicated that these new compounds might become drug candidates. The series of these derivatives were synthesized. Subsequently, their PTP-LAR inhibitory activities were assayed. The compound7d showed highly selectivity for PTP-LAR (10.41 μM) over its close homolog PTP1B (IC50=44.40 μM), SHP2 (IC50>122.81 μM) and CDC25B (IC50>122.81 μM) and docking and molecular dynamics simulation were applied to propose the most likely binding mode of compound7d with PTP-LAR. Thus, our findings reported here may pave a way for discovering potential selective PTP-LAR inhibitors.

description: We theoretically analyze the spectrum of phonons of a one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattice. We simulate the quasicrystal from the classic system of spring-bound atoms with a force constant modulated by the Aubry-André model, so that its value is slightly different in each site of the lattice. From the equations of motion, we obtained the equivalent phonon spectrum of the Hofstadter butterfly, characterizing a multifractal. In this spectrum, we obtained the extended, critical and localized regimes, and we observed that the multifractal characteristic is sensitive to the number of atoms and the $λ$ parameter of our model. We also verified the presence of border states for phonons, where some modes in the system boundaries present vibrations. Through the measurement of localization of the individual displacements in each site, we verify the presence of a phase transition through the Inverse Participation Rate (IPR) for $λ= 1.0 $, where the system changes from extended to localized.
