description: It is estimated that egg and sperm donations account for more than 60,000 births every year in the United States. However, surprisingly, and despite common misconceptions, there are no federal requirements and barely any state requirements to screen and test sperm and egg donors for genetic diseases. The only nationwide standards for genetic screening and testing of donated reproductive tissue are guidelines created by professional organizations, but compliance with those guidelines is voluntary so they cannot be enforced effectively. Furthermore, the few reported cases involving children born from genetically-compromised reproductive tissue illustrate the court system's failure to afford such children and their families the relief they need and deserve. With a continuing rise in the number of babies born each year who are conceived with donated reproductive tissue, it is necessary to create a regulatory framework requiring the screening and testing of reproductive tissue donors for genetic diseases. This article makes the case for federal regulation of the genetic aspects of donated reproductive tissue under the authority granted to the FDA by the Public Health Service Act.

description: Atomtronics is an emerging field that aims to manipulate ultracold atom moving in matter wave circuits for both fundamental studies in quantum science and technological applications. In this colloquium, we review recent progress in matter-wave circuitry and atomtronics-based quantum technology. After a short introduction to the basic physical principles and the key experimental techniques needed to realize atomtronic systems, we describe the physics of matter-waves in simple circuits such as ring traps and two-terminal systems. The main experimental observations and outstanding questions are discussed. We also present possible applications to a broad range of quantum technologies, from quantum sensing with atom interferometry to future quantum simulation and quantum computation architectures.

description: In 2015, the word listicle was added to OxfordDictionaries.com, defined as “an article on the Internet presented in the form of a numbered  or  bullet-pointed  list.”1  By  consulting  a  listicle,  one  can learn “16 Snapchats Only Hipsters Would Send” (all deeply ironic) and “25 Things You Should Learn To Do Before Turning 25” (including “say no sometimes” and “invert the color on your phone  for  reading  at  night”).2  While  the  listicle  is  a  relatively  new phenomenon, it belies humankind’s longstanding desire to classify and categorize the world around it. The hipsters, steam-punks, and rockabillies of the twenty-first century were born of the same categorizing impulse that generated the beasts, birds, and  serpents  of  the  medieval  bestiary.  While  this  impulse  os-tensibly helps us understand the world, it too often leads to di-chotomies that fail to capture the dynamism of humankind and the world we inhabit.

description: The NASA Kepler mission has observed more than 190,000 stars in the constellations of Cygnus and Lyra. Around 4 years of almost continuous ultra high-precision photometry have been obtained reaching a duty cycle higher than 90% for many of these stars. However, almost regular gaps due to nominal operations are present in the light curves at different time scales. In this paper we want to highlight the impact of those regular gaps in asteroseismic analyses and we try to find a method that minimizes their effect in the frequency domain. To do so, we isolate the two main time scales of quasi regular gaps in the data. We then interpolate the gaps and we compare the power density spectra of four different stars: two red giants at different stages of their evolution, a young F-type star, and a classical pulsator in the instability strip. The spectra obtained after filling the gaps in the selected solar-like stars show a net reduction in the overall background level, as well as a change in the background parameters. The inferred convective properties could change as much as 200% in the selected example, introducing a bias in the p-mode frequency of maximum power. When global asteroseismic scaling relations are used, this bias can lead up to a variation in the surface gravity of 0.05 dex. Finally, the oscillation spectrum in the classical pulsator is cleaner compared to the original one.

Chaucer's Physics: Motion in The House of Fame
Creators: name: Schneider, Thomas R.
Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2017

description: Geoffrey Chaucer’s House of Fame is preoccupied with multiple vectors of chaotic, incessant movement. It is a poem of constant spatial  motion,  but  three  moments  in  particular  are  strikingly  unusual  and  deserving  of  unpacking  in  relation  to  Chaucer’s  engagement  with  the  concept  of  movement.  The  first  is,  un-surprisingly, the description of the cage-like wooden structure, sixty miles in diameter, in the valley beyond the House of Fame: perhaps his most potent and strange image of motion. This laby-rinthine, multicolored structure is in constant circular motion: And ever mo, as swifte as thoughte, This queynte hous aboute wente, That never mo hyt stille stent.

description: One of the greatest needs in modern ophthalmology is access to the eye choroid in vivo. Without it, it is difficult to introduce new therapies and to understand most of the pathological changes in the eye, because of the total blood flow in the eye is caused by the choroidal circulation. It is entirely responsible for the metabolism of photoreceptors, which each of us feels every day and senses when its deficits begin. Optical selection of choroid and choriocapillaris by currently used imaging techniques such as indocyanine angiography, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy or optical coherence tomography (OCT) is limited by insufficient lateral resolution, depth of penetration and the presence of strong light scattering effects. Here we report a Spatio-Temporal Optical Coherence Tomography (STOC-T) that maintains microscopic quality of in vivo reconstructions of anatomical layers when imaging chorioretinal cross-sections in a coronal anatomic plane. STOC-T performs high definition volumetric imaging in all projections, enabling reconstruction of anatomical details of the retinal and choroidal layers with unprecedented quality by using an extra phase randomization for low spatial coherence. We also demonstrate that STOC-T can detect blood flow and reveal vascular networks in various chorioretinal layers that are otherwise invisible to OCT. This capability highlights the unique value of STOC-T angiography. These technical advances enable acquisition of detailed choroidal structures, such as Satller layer and choriocapillaris, that are usually buried behind speckle noise and blurred by eye motion artifacts in conventional OCT. By imaging the retina and choroid with high contrast, we were able to perform detailed morphometric analysis, which is the basis for the anticipated clinical utility of the method in monitoring disease progression and therapeutic responses of the eye.
Degradation Analysis of Probabilistic Parallel Choice Systems

description: Degradation analysis is used to analyze the useful lifetimes of systems, their failure rates, and various other system parameters like mean time to failure (MTTF), mean time between failures (MTBF), and the system failure rate (SFR). In many systems, certain possible parallel paths of execution that have greater chances of success are preferred over others. Thus we introduce here the concept of probabilistic parallel choice. We use binary and $n$-ary probabilistic choice operators in describing the selections of parallel paths. These binary and $n$-ary probabilistic choice operators are considered so as to represent the complete system (described as a series-parallel system) in terms of the probabilities of selection of parallel paths and their relevant parameters. Our approach allows us to derive new and generalized formulae for system parameters like MTTF, MTBF, and SFR. We use a generalized exponential distribution, allowing distinct installation times for individual components, and use this model to derive expressions for such system parameters.

description: Several aspects of patent litigation call into question patent holders' motivation for enforcing their exclusionary rights. Indeed, the expense alone can be enough to deter a firm from engaging in litigation, especially if it is likely that the parties will be unable to reach a settlement agreement and will go to trial. Notwithstanding, the number of patent infringement filings in district courts grows each year, thus providing a forum for asking what patent holders really desire to gain from litigating. Although injunctive relief and damages awards confer benefits to patent holders that can make litigating worthwhile, this Article posits that plaintiffs have no intention of ever obtaining these statutory remedies. Rather, handsome settlement arrangements provide the incentive for patentees to litigate. This Article contends that such settlement agreements are becoming a way of life for patent holders, and that rather than viewing litigation as an end result of parties‘ failure to resolve a dispute, it is instead becoming the ordinary course of business and a routine consequence of owning a patent.

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht kooperative Regelstrategien für nicht-holonome, autonome Agenten, die als linear parametervariierende (LPV) Systeme modelliert werden. Es werden zwei verschiedene Ansätze untersucht. Zum einen die Formationsregelung; hierfür wird ein gekoppelter Information Flow Filter vorgestellt, der Feedback von lokalen Agenten in das Konsensprotokoll erlaubt. Weiterhin wird eine Methode für den simultanen Entwurf von Filter und lokalen Reglern entwickelt. Zum anderen wird eine Flocking-basierte Regelung betrachtet und für LPV-Agenten erweitert. Hier wird eine Separation im Entwurf vorgestellt, in der ein Flocking-Filter entworfen wird, der Daten von lokalen Agenten empfängt und für diese Referenztrajektorien generiert. Diese Methode wird illustriert anhand von Source-Seeking und Level-Curve-Tracking Szenarien.
description: This thesis considers cooperative control of non-holonomic autonomous agents which are modeled as linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems. Two approaches are considered. First, the formation control approach; here a coupled information flow filter is presented that enables feedback of local agent data into the consensus protocol. Moreover, a simultaneous design and optimization of filter and local controller is proposed. Secondly, extension of flocking control to LPV agents. A separation in design is achieved by designing a flocking filter that receives data from and provides reference trajectories to local agents. This approach is illustrated with source seeking and level curve tracking scenarios.

description: The Manifesto  for  a  Post-Critical  Pedagogy  was  written  in  Sep-tember  2016  and  first  presented  at  Liverpool  Hope  University  on  October  17,  2016.  At  that  launch  event,  we  heard  a  keynote  response from Tyson Lewis and further invited responses from Geert Thyssen and Olga Ververi. From the outset, having made the manifesto available online in open access, we were encour-aged  by  the  enthusiastic  response  and  the  genuine  interest  shown  by  colleagues  internationally.  We  therefore  chose  to  in-vite further responses, to broaden the conversation, but did so specifically  from  early-  to  mid-career  scholars.  Hence,  we  also  include  here  responses  from  Oren  Ergas,  Norm  Friesen,  and  Stefan Ramaekers. When  seeking  a  way  to  publish  the  manifesto  and  the  re-sponses to it, we looked purposefully beyond the usual avenues taken  in  our  field,  for  a  publisher  in  keeping  with  the  ethos  of  the  manifesto  itself.  We  thank  punctum  books  and  Eileen  Joy  and  Vincent  W.J.  van  Gerven  Oei  in  particular  for  the  confi-dence and enthusiasm they have shown in this project.

description: Formulating  principles,  in  philosophy  of  education  at  least,  seems  to  hark  back  to  a  form  of  normative,  conceptual  analy-sis  associated  with  Anglophone,  analytic  styles  of  philosophy.  But  poststructuralist  and  postmodernist  philosophy  —  at  least  as they have been taken up in educational theory and in popu-lar  thought  more  generally  —  often  brings  with  it  a  relativism,  which while potentially inclusive, and certainly constitutive to-day of the possibility of individual choice, renders the defence of principles difficult. By stating principles in the form of a mani-festo, we risk accusations of universalising, exclusive normativ-ity. But, it is perhaps time to question the assumption that these are inherently and always negative. Below we set out principles founded  in  the  belief  in  the  possibility  of  transformation,  as  found  in  critical  theory  and  pedagogy,  but  with  an  affirmative  attitude: a post-critical orientation to education that gains pur-chase on our current conditions and that is founded in a hope for what is still to come.

description: The structure of cylindrical double layers is studied using a modified Poisson Boltzmann theory and the density functional approach. In the model double layer, the electrode is a cylindrical polyion that is infinitely long, impenetrable, and uniformly charged. The polyion is immersed in a sea of equi-sized rigid ions embedded in a dielectric continuum. An in-depth comparison of the theoretically predicted zeta potentials, the mean electrostatic potentials, and the electrode-ion singlet density distributions is made with the corresponding Monte Carlo simulation data. The theories are seen to be consistent in their predictions that include variations in ionic diameters, electrolyte concentrations, and electrode surface charge densities, and are also capable of well reproducing some new and existing Monte Carlo results.

description: A great deal of economic activity now occurs in virtual worlds, raising questions about the proper taxation of income generated by virtual world activity.  This Note focuses on the characterization of such income, that is, whether income earned in virtual worlds should be classified as ordinary income or capital gains.  Generally, the character of income is determined by the activity which generated the income.  In the context of virtual worlds, the issue is whether character should be determined by the nature of the user's transactions within the world. As argued below, there is no good conceptual justification for treating economic activity in virtual worlds differently from analogous activity that occurs in the real world. However, applying the capital gains-ordinary income distinction to virtual worlds would not be administratively feasible.  Thus, for the reasons set forth in this Note, the best possible tax regime is to classify all income earned in virtual worlds as ordinary income.

description: We study a generic model of globally coupled rotors that includes the effects of noise, phase shift in the coupling, and distributions of moments of inertia and natural frequencies of oscillation. As particular cases, the setup includes previously studied Sakaguchi-Kuramoto, Hamiltonian and Brownian mean-field, and Tanaka-Lichtenberg-Oishi and Acebrón-Bonilla-Spigler models. We derive an exact solution of the self-consistent equations for the order parameter in the stationary state, valid for arbitrary parameters in the dynamics, and demonstrate nontrivial phase transitions to synchrony that include reentrant synchronous regimes.
Inefficient water degassing inhibits ocean formation on rocky planets: An insight from self-consistent mantle degassing models

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: A sufficient amount of water is required at the surface to develop water oceans. A significant fraction of water, however, remains in the mantle during magma ocean solidification, and thus the existence of water oceans is not guaranteed even for exoplanets located in the habitable zone. To discuss the likelihood of ocean formation, we built two models to predict the rate of mantle degassing during the magma ocean stage and the subsequent solid-state convection stage. We find that planets with low H$_2$O/CO$_2$ ratios would not have a sufficient amount of surface water to develop water oceans immediately after magma ocean solidification, and the majority of the water inventory would be retained in the mantle during their subsequent evolution regardless of planetary size. This is because oceanless planets are likely to operate under stagnant lid convection, and for such planets, dehydration stiffening of the depleted lithospheric mantle would limit the rate of mantle degassing. In contrast, a significant fraction of CO$_2$ would already be degassed during magma ocean solidification. With a strong greenhouse effect, all surface water would exist as vapor, and water oceans may be absent throughout planetary evolution. Volatile concentrations in the bulk silicate Earth are close to the threshold amount for ocean formation, so if Venus shared similar concentrations, small differences in solar radiation may explain the divergent evolutionary paths of Earth and Venus.

description: We compared the results of the Madden-Glandt (MG) integral equation approximation for partly-quenched systems with the commonly accepted formalism of Given and Stell (GS). The system studied was a +1:-1 restricted primitive model (RPM) electrolyte confined in a quenched +1:-1 RPM matrix. A renormalization scheme was proposed for a set of MG replica Ornstein-Zernike equations. Long-ranged direct and total correlation functions, describing the interactions between the annealed electrolyte species within the same replicas and between the annealed and matrix particles, appeared to be the same for MG and GS approach. Both versions of the theory give very similar results for the structure and thermodynamics of an annealed subsystem. Differences between excess internal energy, excess chemical potential, and isothermal compressibility become pronounced only at high concentrations of matrix particles.

Intellectual property

description: History is full of inventions that multiple people appear to have arrived at independently at about the same time, from the telescope (Lippershey, Metius, and others, 1608) to the telegraph (Morse, Steinheil, and others, 1837). Simultaneous independent invention is so common that some commentators have wondered if inventions are inevitable, the byproduct of existing culture rather than the work of individual genius. This philosophical problem has important practical implications in intellectual property law, which is deeply conflicted on the issue. On the one hand, the Patent and Trademark Office has procedures in place to award a patent to the winner of a race between two or more groups for the same invention. On the other hand, the Federal Circuit recently confirmed that simultaneous independent invention can indicate that the idea was obvious and nobody deserves to patent it. This Article explores this conflict, including recent case developments, and suggests a potential resolution.
Exactly solving the Kitaev chain and generating Majorana-zero-modes out of noisy qubits

description: Majorana-zero-modes (MZMs) were predicted to exist as edge states of a physical system called the Kitaev chain. MZMs should host particles that are their own antiparticles and could be used as a basis for a qubit which is robust-to-noise. However, all attempts to prove their existence gave inconclusive results. Here, the Kitaev chain is exactly solved with a quantum computing methodology and properties of MZMs are probed by generating eigenstates of the Kitev Hamiltonian on 3 noisy qubits of a publicly available quantum computer. After an ontological elaboration I show that two eigenstates of the Kitaev Hamiltonian exhibit eight signatures attributed to MZMs. The results presented here are a most comprehensive set of validations of MZMs ever conducted in an actual physical system. Furthermore, the findings of this manuscript are easily reproducible for any user of publicly available quantum computers, solving another important problem of research with MZMs-the result reproducibility crisis.

A Response to the "Manifesto for A Post-Critical Pedagogy"

Publisher: name: punctum books
Year: 2018

description: First, I would like to thank Hodgson, Vlieghe, and Zamojski for inviting  me  to  this  event  and  for  allowing  me  to  engage  with  their  ideas.  But  I  must  admit  that  I  almost  felt  like  this  was  a  set-up or an ironic gesture. How can I give a critical response to a post-critical manifesto without immediately falling prey to the very problems of critique that the authors identify? If I provide a  critical  analysis,  then  would  my  response  even  be  relevant?  Could I not immediately be dismissed as symptomatic of a fail-ure in educational philosophy to produce affirmative principles? And if the response cannot be critical without falling into a trap, need it simply be an affirmation, meaning a repetition of what has already been said? If this were the case, then I need not con-tinue as my response would be redundant. I can merely pack my bags and head home. Both critique and simple affirmation seem unsatisfactory  at  this  point,  and  would  fail  to  take  up  the  call  for a creative hermeneutic that has to be produced. As such, my only real choice in writing this response is to utilize the princi-ples of post-critique in order to care for post-critique. Such care need  not  simply  be  an  affirmation.  Rather,  it  can  point  to  that  which the authors have failed to care about in their own call to care,  and  thus  can  further  develop  an  underdeveloped  aspect  of their post-critical turn. The resulting paper is my attempt to respond  to  post-critique  by  caring  for  that  which  is  present  in  the author’s statement and yet remains marginal and peripheral: the question of aesthetic form.
Differences That Might Matter? A Manifesto Diffractively Read
Creators: name: Thyssen, Geert

description: To  write  a  manifesto  is  to  expose  oneself  —  to  make  oneself  vulnerable  to  critique.  In  the  case  of  a  co-authored  piece,  it  is  also to show oneself to one’s co-writers (colleagues and perhaps friends).  Yet,  such  vulnerability,  which  is  moreover  a  vulner-ability  to  one’s  self,  forces  one  to  take  a  close  look  in  the  mir-ror, and this includes those who are invited to deliver a reply as well.  I  find  myself  in  that  fortunate  position.  It  is  indeed  with  much gratitude to, and respect for, Naomi, Joris, and Piotr (and with equal humility) that I offer the following thoughts on their “Manifesto  for  a  Post-Critical  Pedagogy.”  Hastily  assembled  as  they were “then,” and clumsily put on paper as they are “now” to  reflect  the  spirit  of  the  actual  reply,  they  are  theirs  and  the  reader’s to further critique.
Single-charge detection by an atomic precision tunnel junction

description: We demonstrate sensitive detection of single charges using a planar tunnel junction 8.5nm wide and 17.2nm long defined by an atomically precise phosphorus doping profile in silicon. The conductance of the junction responds to a nearby gate potential and also to changes in the charge state of a quantum dot patterned 52nm away. The response of this detector is monotonic across the entire working voltage range of the device, which will make it particularly useful for studying systems of multiple quantum dots. The charge sensitivity is maximized when the junction is most conductive, suggesting that more sensitive detection can be achieved by shortening the length of the junction to increase its conductance.

The Post-Critical Mind as a Gateway to Embodied Hope and Love for the World
Creators: name: Ergas, Oren

description: Philosophy,  like  science,  can  be  seen  as  an  overarching  term  that  refers  to  diverse  ways  of  posing  and  engaging  with  ques-tions.  The  development  of  these  ways  of  questioning  can  lead  to  growing  expertise  and  depth,  but  it  can  also  create  a  grow-ing fragmentation, expressed in siloed “schools of thought” that fail  to  engage  with  each  other.  When  the  latter  movement  be-comes  too  strong,  there  is  a  risk  that  the  ethos  of  philosophy,  and most of all philosophy of education, will be betrayed, as a “school  of  thought”  might  miss  the  bigger  picture  when  it  be-comes engrossed in its own game. I read Hodgson, Vlieghe, and Zamojski’s manifesto as a diagnosis of this problem within the discourse of critical pedagogy and critical theory. This diagnosis and their call for action have far-reaching implications for edu-cational  theory  and  practice  writ  large.  In  this  response,  I  will  elaborate this claim briefly, and then offer a very brief sketch of my own attempt to heed the call of this manifesto.

description: In  my  response,  I  will  not  go  into  the  manifesto  as  such,  or  as  a whole. I will limit myself to responding to the authors’ claim that  “[w]hen  we  truly  love  the  world,  our  world,  we  must  be  willing  to  pass  it  on  to  the  new  generation,”  which  is  a  refer-ence  to  (a  short  transcription  of )  Hannah  Arendt’s  (by  now,  I  guess) famous passage where she brings together education and love  for  the  world:  “Education  is  the  point  at  which  we  decide  whether we love the world enough to assume responsibility for it and by the same token save it from that ruin which, except for renewal, except for the coming of the new and young, would be inevitable.”

description: Having read the excellent and thought-provoking responses to our manifesto, we gave a lot of thought to how to respond to and do justice to them. We definitely didn’t want to write separate re-plies for each of them, and we really wanted to keep the conver-sation going between us, the authors of the manifesto, and those who wrote such generous and carefully crafted responses to our text. So, we decided that the three of us would each make some written notes on the replies, which we then shared and took as a starting point for a face-to-face conversation. What follows is a text that is largely based on the transcript of that conversation, but that also draws from our own preliminary notes. The con-versational form naturally entails some repetitions and returns to earlier threads, as well as rough shifts in the flow of the argu-ment, and these are reflected in what follows. Hence, it is not as smooth as a standard academic text. As it was a conversation in which  we  were  discussing  the  responses  of  our  colleagues,  we  refer to them, and to each other, by given (first) names.

description: Werner states are multipartite quantum states that are invariant under the diagonal conjugate action of the unitary group. This paper gives a complete characterization of their entanglement that is independent of the underlying local Hilbert space: for every entangled Werner state there exists a dimension-free entanglement witness. The construction of such a witness is formulated as an optimization problem. To solve it, two semidefinite programming hierarchies are introduced. The first one is derived using real algebraic geometry applied to positive polynomials in the entries of a Gram matrix, and is complete in the sense that for every entangled Werner state it converges to a witness. The second one is based on a sum-of-squares certificate for the positivity of trace polynomials in noncommuting variables, and is a relaxation that involves smaller semidefinite constraints.

description: Currently, connectomes (e.g., functional or structural brain graphs) can be estimated in humans at $\approx 1~mm^3$ scale using a combination of diffusion weighted magnetic resonance imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging and structural magnetic resonance imaging scans. This manuscript summarizes a novel, scalable implementation of open-source algorithms to rapidly estimate magnetic resonance connectomes, using both anatomical regions of interest (ROIs) and voxel-size vertices. To assess the reliability of our pipeline, we develop a novel nonparametric non-Euclidean reliability metric. Here we provide an overview of the methods used, demonstrate our implementation, and discuss available user extensions. We conclude with results showing the efficacy and reliability of the pipeline over previous state-of-the-art.

Random mixtures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon spectra match interstellar infrared emission

description: The mid-infrared (IR; 5-15~$μ$m) spectrum of a wide variety of astronomical objects exhibits a set of broad emission features at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6, 11.3 and 12.7 $μ$m. About 30 years ago it was proposed that these signatures are due to emission from a family of UV heated nanometer-sized carbonaceous molecules known as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), causing them to be referred to as aromatic IR bands (AIBs). Today, the acceptance of the PAH model is far from settled, as the identification of a single PAH in space has not yet been successful and physically relevant theoretical models involving ``true'' PAH cross sections do not reproduce the AIBs in detail. In this paper, we use the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database, which contains over 500 quantum-computed spectra, in conjunction with a simple emission model, to show that the spectrum produced by any random mixture of at least 30 PAHs converges to the same 'kernel'-spectrum. This kernel-spectrum captures the essence of the PAH emission spectrum and is highly correlated with observations of AIBs, strongly supporting PAHs as their source. Also, the fact that a large number of molecules are required implies that spectroscopic signatures of the individual PAHs contributing to the AIBs spanning the visible, near-infrared, and far infrared spectral regions are weak, explaining why they have not yet been detected. An improved effort, joining laboratory, theoretical, and observational studies of the PAH emission process, will support the use of PAH features as a probe of physical and chemical conditions in the nearby and distant Universe.
