description: The decomposition of large unitary matrices into smaller ones is important, because it provides ways to realization of classical and quantum information processing schemes. Today, most of the methods use planar meshes of tunable two-channel blocks, however, the schemes turn out to be sensitive to fabrication errors. We study a novel decomposition method based on multi-channel blocks. We have shown that the scheme is universal even when the block`s transfer matrices are chosen at random, making it virtually insensitive to errors. Moreover, the placement of the variable elements can be arbitrary, so that the scheme is not bound to specific topologies. Our method can be beneficial for large-scale implementations of unitary transformations by techniques, which are not of wide proliferation today or yet to be developed.

description: We explore the constraints on globular cluster formation provided by the observed conditions in starbursts where globulars are currently forming, and by the observed properties of young and old globular clusters. We note that the pressure in the ISM of starbursts and mergers implies that molecular clouds in these environments have radii similar to those of globular clusters. Such molecular clouds are therefore viable precursors to globular clusters if the star formation efficiency in the clouds is high. A high star formation efficiency may be a consequence of the high density and associated high binding energy and short dynamical timescale of molecular clouds in such environments. We also note that the apparent lack of a mass-radius relationship in young and old globular cluster systems places important constraints on globular cluster formation models. This is because molecular clouds are observed to follow a virial scaling relation between mass and radius. We suggest that a variable star formation efficiency may weaken or eliminate the mass-radius relation of molecular clouds as they fragment to form globular clusters. We attribute the absence of young globular clusters in the disks of ordinary galaxies such as the Milky Way to the relatively low ambient pressures in such systems.

description: Cichlids are well known for their propensity to radiate generating arrays of morphologically and ecologically diverse species in short evolutionary time. Following this rapid evolutionary pace, cichlids show high rates of sex chromosome turnover. We here studied the evolution of sex-biased gene (SBG) expression in 14 recently diverged taxa of the Lake Tanganyika Tropheini cichlids, which show different XY sex chromosomes. Across species, sex chromosome sequence divergence predates divergence in expression between the sexes. Only one sex chromosome, the oldest, showed signs of demasculinization in gene expression and potentially contribution to the resolution of sexual conflict. SBGs in general showed high rates of turnovers and evolved mostly under drift. Sexual selection did not shape the rapid evolutionary changes of SBGs. Male-biased genes evolved faster than female-biased genes, which seem to be under more phylogenetic constraint. We found a relationship between the degree of sex bias and sequence evolution driven by sequence differences among the sexes. Consistent with other species, strong sex bias towards sex-limited expression contributes to resolving sexual conflict in cichlids.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Challenging the paradigm in sex chromosome evolution: empirical and theoretical insights with a focus on vertebrates (Part II)’.

description: Several hypotheses explain the prevalence of undifferentiated sex chromosomes in poikilothermic vertebrates. Turnovers change the master sex determination gene, the sex chromosome or the sex determination system (e.g. XY to WZ). Jumping master genes stay main triggers but translocate to other chromosomes. Occasional recombination (e.g. in sex-reversed females) prevents sex chromosome degeneration. Recent research has uncovered conserved heteromorphic or even homomorphic sex chromosomes in several clades of non-avian and non-mammalian vertebrates. Sex determination in sturgeons (Acipenseridae) has been a long-standing basic biological question, linked to economical demands by the caviar-producing aquaculture. Here, we report the discovery of a sex-specific sequence from sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus). Using chromosome-scale assemblies and pool-sequencing, we first identified an approximately 16 kb female-specific region. We developed a PCR-genotyping test, yielding female-specific products in six species, spanning the entire phylogeny with the most divergent extant lineages (A. sturio, A. oxyrinchus versus A. ruthenus, Huso huso), stemming from an ancient tetraploidization. Similar results were obtained in two octoploid species (A. gueldenstaedtii, A. baerii). Conservation of a female-specific sequence for a long period, representing 180 Myr of sturgeon evolution, and across at least one polyploidization event, raises many interesting biological questions. We discuss a conserved undifferentiated sex chromosome system with a ZZ/ZW-mode of sex determination and potential alternatives.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Challenging the paradigm in sex chromosome evolution: empirical and theoretical insights with a focus on vertebrates (Part I)’.

We have improved the timing system of the synchrotron giving it better stability and flexibility. This improvement results the other merits of advanced operations, for example, storing electron beam in the synchrotron, changing the injection cycle from 1 Hz to the slower frequency to increase the RF knock-out (RF-KO) operation period and ejecting the low energy beam during ramping up.

Extraposition is disappearing
Creators: name: Wallenberg, Joel C.
Publisher: name: Journal of Historical Syntax
Year: 2018

description: This study describes a change in which relative clause extraposition is in the process of being lost in English, Icelandic, French, and Portuguese. This current change in progress has never been observed before, probably because it is so slow that it is undetectable without the aid of multiple diachronic parsed corpora (treebanks) with time depths of over 500 years each. Building on insights from Kiparsky (1995), the study shows that the change may date as far back as the innovation of Proto-Germanic and Proto-Romance relative clauses, as these varieties differentiated from Proto-Indo-European. It also shows that the unusually slow speed of the change is due to partial specialization of the construction along the dimension of prosodic weight, following the argument made at greater length in Fruehwald & Wallenberg 2016. Finally, the change is shown to have important consequences for the syntax of extraposition, supporting the adjunction analysis of Culicover and Rochemont (1990). The article also discusses the implications of Sauerland’s (2003) analysis of English relative clauses, and while modern English data supports his analysis, the diachronic extraposition data is not yet fine-grained enough to bear on the ‘raising’ analysis of relatives in general. This is identified as an important question for further research on this change.

description: This thesis undertakes a discourse analysis of the mainstream and gay media, legal and popular narratives pertaining to a set of gay bashings, murders and disappearances of gay men from the Bondi-Tamarama region in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, during the 1980s and early 1990s. With the exception of one murder, these events - dubbed the 'gay gang murders' - were not properly investigated until more than a decade had passed when a detective noted a number of similarities between the cases. A task force named 'Operation Taradale' was established to examine links between the suspicious deaths - originally dismissed as suicides, accidents or one-off attacks - and Sydney gay hate gangs which existed at the time. Following this investigation a Coronial Inquest was staged and numerous findings and recommendations proposed. A number of key institutions, namely, the law, the judiciary and the media, failed to respond appropriately to these crimes at the time they were committed. This suggested to me that the victims were not held in very high regard by wider social bodies nor were their losses publicly acknowledged. Yet, by the turn of the 21st Century, this situation had shifted dramatically with the New South Wales Police Service and the New South Wales State Coroner's Court investigating these crimes and mainstream and gay media sites providing regular and serious coverage. As a case study of a series of gay hate- crimes, which charts three decades of social and institutional changes, this thesis operates as an example of how gay victims of violent crimes are discursively constructed and institutionally recognized within Australian culture. The shifts in institutional responses and public consciousness towards the victims of the 'gay gang murders' can also be applied, on a more general level and in varying degrees, to other Australian victims of anti-gay violence. Thus, by bringing this particular set of events to prominence, I exemplify wider social trends involving the status and position of gay men in Australian culture from the 1980s to the current day, 2009. This analysis demonstrates how discursive knowledges - the law and the media - and cultural understandings of sexuality and masculinity produce different ways to read and make sense of these crimes.

description: Unconjugated and conjugated bilirubin are molecules of physiological importance with increasing evidence demonstrating multipotent cardiovascular protective effects in conditions of benign hyperbilirubinemia. Individuals with Gilbert's Syndrome, a condition typified by benign hyperbilirubinemia resultant to impaired bilirubin conjugation, report reduced cardiovascular disease risk, increased serum antioxidant capacity, increased anti-inflammatory profiles and favourable lipid-profiles. Unconjugated bilirubin also possesses established antiplatelet characteristics, with reduced activation and aggregation reported at physiologically relevant concentrations. Despite previous works demonstrating that endogenous and synthetic bilirubin compounds possess antioxidant potential, the specific impact of these compounds on platelet function more globally is poorly understood. The main aims of this thesis were to assess whether bilirubin ditaurate, a synthetic water-soluble analogue of bilirubin diglucuronide, induces acute antiplatelet effects and, if so, could inclusion during platelet storage preserve platelet characteristics? This thesis also aimed to investigate if increased in vivo serum total bilirubin concentrations inhibit platelet activation in vivo, in efforts to establish if a widely available natural product could induce an Iatrogenic Gilbert's Syndrome.

description: Time has emerged as a new degree of freedom for metamaterials, promising new pathways in wave control. However, electromagnetism suffers from limitations in the modulation speed of material parameters. Here we argue that these limitations can be circumvented by introducing a traveling-wave refractive index modulation, with the same phase velocity of the waves. We show how the concept of "luminal grating" can yield giant nonreciprocity, achieve efficient one-way amplification, pulse compression and frequency up-conversion, proposing a realistic implementation in double-layer graphene.

description: Robotic systems are ever more capable of automation and fulfilment of complex tasks, particularly with reliance on recent advances in intelligent systems, deep learning and artificial intelligence. However, as robots and humans come closer in their interactions, the matter of interpretability, or explainability of robot decision-making processes for the human grows in importance. A successful interaction and collaboration will only take place through mutual understanding of underlying representations of the environment and the task at hand. This is currently a challenge in deep learning systems. We present a hierarchical deep reinforcement learning system, consisting of a low-level agent handling the large actions/states space of a robotic system efficiently, by following the directives of a high-level agent which is learning the high-level dynamics of the environment and task. This high-level agent forms a representation of the world and task at hand that is interpretable for a human operator. The method, which we call Dot-to-Dot, is tested on a MuJoCo-based model of the Fetch Robotics Manipulator, as well as a Shadow Hand, to test its performance. Results show efficient learning of complex actions/states spaces by the low-level agent, and an interpretable representation of the task and decision-making process learned by the high-level agent.

description: Mechanisms of sex determination (SD) differ widely across the tree of life. In genotypic sex determination (GSD), genetic elements determine whether individuals are male or female, while in environmental sex determination (ESD), external cues control the sex of the offspring. In cyclical parthenogens, females produce mostly asexual daughters, but environmental stimuli such as crowding, temperature or photoperiod may cause them to produce sons. In aphids, sons are induced by ESD, even though GSD is present, with females carrying two X chromosomes and males only one (X0 SD system). By contrast, although ESD exists in Daphnia, the two sexes were suggested to be genetically identical, based on a 1972 study on Daphnia magna (2n=20) that used three allozyme markers. This study cannot, however, rule out an X0 system, as all three markers may be located on autosomes. Motivated by the life cycle similarities of Daphnia and aphids, and the absence of karyotype information for Daphnia males, we tested for GSD (homomorphic sex chromosomes and X0) systems in D. magna using a whole-genome approach by comparing males and females of three genotypes. Our results confirm the absence of haploid chromosomes or haploid genomic regions in D. magna males as well as the absence of sex-linked genomic regions and sex-specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Within the limitations of the three studied populations here and the methods used, we suggest that our results make the possibility of genetic differences among sexes in the widely used Daphnia model system very unlikely.

description: This thesis presents a linguistic-phonetic description of the acoustic properties of the contrastive accentual patterns in Kagoshima Japanese. Kagoshima Japanese is one of the traditionally so-called two pattern varieties of Japanese. Different phonological analyses of the contrast are described in detail in order to situate the phonetic description. Data from four native speakers—two males and two females—are used, appropriately log z-score normalised to yield mean normalised FO curves necessary for linguistic-phonetic description. Normalisation procedures are discussed, justified and explained. The acoustic realisation of the Kagoshima Japanese contrast is specified on words from one to seven syllables in length, and a surface representation proposed within Autosegmental-Metrical theory. Some microprosodic aspects are also examined, especially in terms of the effect of the syllable-rhyme structure (i.e. vowel length, final nasal) on FO. In addition is examined what happens when accentual units are juxtaposed in three types of syntagms (noun phrase e.g. nagaka tamago; possessive phrase e.g. mago no kimono; simple sentence, e.g. sakana ga nigeru). Where appropriate, comparisons are drawn with Standard Japanese to highlight similarities and differences in tonality. It is shown that, like Standard Japanese, the Kagoshima Japanese accentual contrast is realised as ± falling pitch/FO, and also like SJ, the contrast is manifested globally, throughout the word. Microprosodically, it is shown that syllable-final nasals are associated with higher FO, not necessarily on the nasal itself, and that heavy syllables also evince a higher FO. Finally, two extrinsic allotones—level and falling—are demonstrated for one of the accentual types, depending on its rhyme constituents. As far as the juxtaposed data are concerned, it is shown that, unlike Standard Japanese, no deaccentuation is involved. Moreover, a differential effect is demonstrated, in terms of FO downstep, with respect to syntactic type: noun phrases behave differently from possessive phrases and simple sentences in showing no downstep. It is suggested that the magnitude of downstep in Kagoshima Japanese may be smaller than in Standard Japanese. It is proposed that the linguistic-phonetic representations derived in this thesis can be used not only to investigate within-language linguistic features (e.g. the Kagoshima Japanese accentual contrast), but also to compare Kagoshima with the corresponding linguistic-phonetic representations of other Japanese varieties.

description: If the black holes detected by LIGO/VIRGO are primordial black holes (PBHs) sourcing from a large primordial curvature perturbation on small scales, the corresponding induced gravitational waves (GWs) would peak at nanohertz that is detectable by the current and future observations of pulsar timing array (PTA). In this paper we show that with the mass function estimated from the merger rate of LIGO O1 and O2 events, the induced GWs from such a curvature perturbation with a Gaussian narrow peak at some small scale would be in a seemingly mild tension with current constraints from PTA. However, if the curvature perturbation is of local-type non-Gaussianity with a non-linear parameter $f_\text{NL}\gtrsim\mathcal{O}(10)$, the tension could be relieved. Nevertheless, such an induced GWs must be detectable by the Square Kilometer Array in a decade or less.

description: A guiding principle of biology is that biochemical reactions must be organized in space and time. One way this spatio-temporal organization is achieved is through liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS), which generates biomolecular condensates. These condensates are dynamic and reactive and often contain a complex mixture of proteins and nucleic acids. In this review, we discuss how underlying physical and chemical processes generate internal condensate architectures. We then outline the diverse condensate architectures that are observed in biological systems. Finally, we discuss how specific condensate organization is critical for specific biological functions.

description: In [J. C. Howell and J. A. Yeazell, Phys. Rev. A 62, 012102 (2000)], a proposal is made to generate entangled macroscopically distinguishable states of two spatially separated traveling optical modes. We model the decoherence due to light scattering during the propagation along an optical transmission line and propose a setup allowing an entanglement purification from a number of preparations which are partially decohered due to transmission. A purification is achieved even without any manual intervention. We consider a nondemolition configuration to measure the purity of the state as contrast of interference fringes in a double-slit setup. Regarding the entangled coherent states as a state of a bipartite quantum system, a close relationship between purity and entanglement of formation can be obtained. In this way, the contrast of interference fringes provides a direct means to measure entanglement.

description: We report the discovery of the first hyperluminous infrared galaxy (HyLIG) in the course of the European Large Area ISO Survey (ELAIS). This object has been detected by ISO at 6.7, 15, and 90 microns, and is found to be a broad-line, radio-quiet quasar at a redshift: z = 1.099. From a detailed multi-component model fit of the spectral energy distribution, we derive a total infrared luminosity: L_IR (1-1000 microns) ~ 1.0 x 10E13 h_65^-2 L_sun (q_0 = 0.5), and discuss the possible existence of a starburst contributing to the far-IR output. Observations to date present no evidence for lens magnification. This galaxy is one of the very few HyLIGs with an X-ray detection. On the basis of its soft X-ray properties, we suggest that this broad-line object may be the face-on analogue of narrow-line, Seyfert-like HyLIGs.

description: The National Ignition Facility (NIF) requires that pulses from each of the 192 laser beams be positioned on target with an accuracy of 50 um rms. Beam quality must be sufficient to focus a total of 1.8 MJ of 0.351-um light into a 600-um-diameter volume. An optimally flat beam wavefront can achieve this pointing and focusing accuracy. The control system corrects wavefront aberrations by performing closed-loop compensation during laser alignment to correct for gas density variations. Static compensation of flashlamp-induced thermal distortion is established just prior to the laser shot. The control system compensates each laser beam at 10 Hz by measuring the wavefront with a 77-lenslet Hartmann sensor and applying corrections with a 39-actuator deformable mirror. The distributed architecture utilizes SPARC AXi computers running Solaris to perform real-time image processing of sensor data and PowerPC-based computers running VxWorks to compute mirror commands. A single pair of SPARC and PowerPC processors accomplishes wavefront control for a group of eight beams. The software design uses proven adaptive optic control algorithms that are implemented in a multi-tasking environment to economically control the beam wavefronts in parallel. Prototype tests have achieved a closed-loop residual error of 0.03 waves rms.
