description: Additional file 1: Supplement data, Figure A. Effects of Hem/CLP on kidney histopathologic changes. The kidneys were collected 24h post Sham-Hem (A) or Hem/CLP (B). Representative H&E staining of kidney sections exhibited tubular epithelial cell sloughing/detachment (black arrows), edema, inflammatory cell infiltration (green arrows), loss of brush borders, tubular dilation, and tubular distortion, when examined by light microscopy (20X) (scale bar: 50 μm). Supplement data, Figure B. Effects of PHPS1 on systemic plasma levels of inflammatory cytokine/chemokine in Sham-Hem (SH)/Sham-CLP (SC) control mice. The plasma levels of TNF-α, IL-10, IL-6, and MIP-2 were not detectable (ND) in the PHPS1 or vehicle treated SH/SC mice. Although KC levels were detectable, there was no difference between the 2 sham groups (p = 0.5124). Rank Sum Test, Mean ± SD; n = 3 mice/group. Supplement data, Figure C1. Effects of PHPS1 on expression of NGAL and HMGB1 and in kidney after Sham-Hem (SH)/Sham-CLP (SC). The kidneys were collected and tissue homogenates were obtained 24h post SH/SC. The expression of NGAL and HMGB1 were determined by western blot. The levels of NGAL and HMGB1 were low and no difference between PHPS1 or vehicle treatment SH-SC control mice. Rank Sum Test, Mean ± SD; n = 3 mice/group. Supplement data, Figure C2. Effects of PHPS1 on the activation of SHP2 and ERK1/2 in kidney after Sham-Hem (SH)/Sham-CLP (SC). The kidneys were collected and tissue homogenates were obtained 24h post SH/SC. The extent of SHP2 and ERK1/2 activation (phosphorylation) was determined by western blot. The ratio of phosphorylated (p) SHP2 and total SHP2 (p-SHP2/t-SHP2) and phosphorylated Erk1/2 (p- Erk1/2 /t- Erk1/2) in kidneys from SH-SC control mice were no difference with or without PHPS1 treatment.

description: The unique determination of a measurable conductivity from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the equation $\mathrm{div} (σ\nabla u) = 0$ is the subject of this note. A new strategy, based on Clifford algebras and a higher dimensional analogue of the Beltrami equation, is here proposed. This represents a possible first step for a proof of uniqueness for the Calderón problem in three and higher dimensions in the $L^\infty$ case.

description: Trapped ions arranged in Coulomb crystals provide us with the elements to study the physics of a single spin coupled to a boson bath. In this work we show that optical forces allow us to realize a variety of spin-boson models, depending on the crystal geometry and the laser configuration. We study in detail the Ohmic case, which can be implemented by illuminating a single ion with a travelling wave. The mesoscopic character of the phonon bath in trapped ions induces new effects like the appearance of quantum revivals in the spin evolution.

description: Quantum discord provides a measure for quantifying quantum correlations beyond entanglement and is very hard to compute even for two-qubit states because of the minimization over all possible measurements. Recently a simple algorithm to evaluate the quantum discord for two-qubit X-states is proposed by Ali, Rau and Alber [Phys. Rev. A 81, 042105 (2010)] with minimization taken over only a few cases. Here we shall at first identify a class of X-states, whose quantum discord can be evaluated analytically without any minimization, for which their algorithm is valid, and also identify a family of X-states for which their algorithm fails. And then we demonstrate that this special family of X-states provides furthermore an explicit example for the inequivalence between the minimization over positive operator-valued measures and that over von Neumann measurements.

description: Network, web, and disk I/O traffic are usually bursty, self-similar and therefore can not be modeled adequately with Poisson arrivals. However, we do want to model these types of traffic and to generate realistic traces, because of obvious applications for disk scheduling, network management, web server design. Previous models (like fractional Brownian motion, FARIMA, etc.) tried to capture the ‘burstiness’. However, the proposed models either require too many parameters to fit and/or require prohibitively large (quadratic) time to generate large traces. We propose a simple, parsimonious method, the b-model , which solves both problems: It requires just one parameter, and it can easily generate large traces. In addition, it has many more attractive properties: (a) With our proposed estimation algorithm, it requires just a single pass over the actual trace to estimate b. For example, a one-day-long disk trace in milliseconds contains about 86Mb data points and requires about 3 minutes for model fitting and 5 minutes for generation. (b) The resulting synthetic traces are very realistic: our experiments on real disk and web traces show that our synthetic traces match the real ones very well in terms of queuing behavior.

description: In this paper, under very general assumptions, we prove existence and regularity of distributional solutions to homogeneous Dirichlet problems of the form $$\begin{cases} \displaystyle - Δ_{1} u = h(u)f & \text{in}\, Ω,\newline u\geq 0& \text{in}\ Ω, \newline u=0 & \text{on}\ \partial Ω, \end{cases} $$ where, $Δ_{1} $ is the $1$-laplace operator, $Ω$ is a bounded open subset of $\mathbb{R}^N$ with Lipschitz boundary, $h(s)$ is a continuous function which may become singular at $s=0^{+}$, and $f$ is a nonnegative datum in $L^{N,\infty}(Ω)$ with suitable small norm. Uniqueness of solutions is also shown provided $h$ is decreasing and $f>0$. As a by-product of our method a general theory for the same problem involving the $p$-laplacian as principal part, which is missed in the literature, is established. The main assumptions we use are also further discussed in order to show their optimality.

The vortex partition functions for these theories are computed via equivariant localization. We show that these coincide with the field theory limit of the topological vertex on the strip with boundary conditions corresponding to column diagrams. Moreover, we resum the field theory limit of the vertex partition functions in terms of generalized hypergeometric functions formulating their AGT dual description as interacting surface operators of simple type. Analogously we resum the topological open string amplitudes in terms of q-deformed generalized hypergeometric functions proving that they satisfy appropriate finite difference equations.

description: We study the free energy of static three quark systems in singlet, octet, decuplet and average color channels in the quenched approximation and in 2-flavor QCD at finite temperature. We show that in the high temperature phase singlet and decuplet free energies of three quark systems are well described by the sum of the free energies of three diquark systems plus self energy contributions of the three quarks. In the confining low temperature phase we find evidence for a Y-shaped flux tube in SU(3) pure gauge theory, which is less evident in 2-flavor QCD due to the onset of string breaking. We also compare the short distance behavior of octet and decuplet free energies to the free energies of single static quarks in the corresponding color representations.

description: Quantum networks are the ultimate target in quantum communication, where many connected users can share information carried by quantum systems. The keystones of such structures are the reliable generation, transmission and manipulation of quantum states. Two-dimensional quantum states, qubits, are steadily adopted as information units. However, high-dimensional quantum states, qudits, constitute a richer resource for future quantum networks, exceeding the limitations imposed by the ubiquitous qubits. The generation and manipulation of such $D$-level systems have been improved over the last ten years, but their reliable transmission between remote locations remains the main challenge. Here, we show how a recent air-core fiber supporting orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes can be exploited to faithfully transmit $D$-dimensional states. Four OAM quantum states and their superpositions are created, propagated in a 1.2 km long fiber and detected with high fidelities. In addition, three quantum key distribution (QKD) protocols are implemented as concrete applications to assert the practicality of our results. This experiment enhances the distribution of high-dimensional quantum states, attesting the orbital angular momentum as vessel for the future quantum network.

description: Disk timeslicing is a promising technique for storage performance insulation. To work with cluster-based storage, however, timeslices associated with striped data must be co-scheduled on the corresponding servers. This paper describes algorithms for determining global timeslice schedules and mechanisms for coordinating the independent server activities. Experiments with a prototype show that, combined, they can provide performance insulation for workloads sharing a storage cluster—each workload realizes a configured minimum efficiency within its timeslices regardless of the activities of the other workloads

description: We report the design, construction, and initial commissioning results of a large high pressure gaseous Time Projection Chamber (TPC) with Micromegas modules for charge readout. The detector vessel has an inner volume of about 600 L and an active volume of 270 L. At 10 bar operating pressure, the active volume contains about 20 kg of xenon gas and can image charged particle tracks. Drift electrons are collected by the charge readout plane, which accommodates a tessellation of seven Micromegas modules. Each of the Micromegas covers a square of 20 cm by 20 cm. A new type of Microbulk Micromegas is chosen for this application due to its good gain uniformity and low radioactive contamination. Initial commissioning results with 1 Micromegas module running with 1 bar argon and isobutane gas mixture and 5 bar xenon and trimethylamine (TMA) gas mixture are reported. We also recorded extended background tracks from cosmic ray events and highlighted the unique tracking feature of this gaseous TPC.

Device-independent witnesses of genuine multipartite entanglement

Year: 2011

description: We consider the problem of determining whether genuine multipartite entanglement was produced in an experiment, without relying on a characterization of the systems observed or of the measurements performed. We present an n-partite inequality that is satisfied by all correlations produced by measurements on biseparable quantum states, but which can be violated by n-partite entangled states, such as GHZ states. In contrast to traditional entanglement witnesses, the violation of this inequality implies that the state is not biseparable independently of the Hilbert space dimension and of the measured operators. Violation of this inequality does not imply, however, genuine multipartite non-locality. We show more generically how the problem of identifying genuine tripartite entanglement in a device-independent way can be addressed through semidefinite programming.

Applications of Fractional Calculus to Newtonian Mechanics

description: We investigate some basic applications of Fractional Calculus (FC) to Newtonian mechanics. After a brief review of FC, we consider a possible generalization of Newton's second law of motion and apply it to the case of a body subject to a constant force. In our second application of FC to Newtonian gravity, we consider a generalized fractional gravitational potential and derive the related circular orbital velocities. This analysis might be used as a tool to model galactic rotation curves, in view of the dark matter problem. Both applications have a pedagogical value in connecting fractional calculus to standard mechanics and can be used as a starting point for a more advanced treatment of fractional mechanics.

description: The Read/Conditional-Write (R/CW) protocol provides linearizable reads and conditional-writes of individual objects. A client's conditional-write of an object succeeds only if the object has not been conditionally-written since it was last read by the client. In this sense, R/CW semantics are similar to those of a compare-and-swap register. If a conditional-write does not succeed, it aborts. The R/CW protocol supports multi-object reads and conditional-writes; such operations are strictly serializable. A variant of the R/CW protocol, the Query/Update (Q/U) protocol, provides an operations-based interface to clients: clients invoke query and update methods on objects rather than reading and writing objects in their entirety. The R/CW and Q/U protocols are correct in the asynchronous timing model and tolerate Byzantine failures of clients and servers.

description: This Chapter introduces the concept of impact assessment, this way laying down a foundation for the present textbook on integrated impact assessment for border control technologies. It intends to offer, in an accessible way, an overview of the said concept, eventually aiming to constitute a reference work for anybody interested in the topic. This Chapter is structured as follows. After the present introduction, it outlines the concept of impact assessment as such, namely its definition, terminology, historical development as well as its merits and drawbacks, ultimately exploring the possibility of integration of multiple evaluation techniques (Section 2). In Section 3, it offers 16 principles and conditions that apply to both the theory and practice of impact assessment (namely, the framework) and, in Section 4, it defines and describes, in a general manner, the consecutive or iterative steps to be undertaken in order to carry out the assessment process of any type and in any area of practice (namely, the method). This Chapter is to be read in conjunction with Chapter 8 and Annex 1, offering a tailored down method and template, respectively, for a report from the process of integrated impact assessment for border control technologies.This Chapter builds on the work of Vrije Universiteit Brussel’s (VUB) Brussels Laboratory for Data Protection & Privacy Impact Assessments (d.pia.lab) and, wherever necessary, revises and updates it. However, nothing in this Chapter is final as the concept of impact assessment is a ‘living instrument’, constantly necessitating a reflection on the most recent stage of its development.
Classification of Finite Dimensional Modular Lie Superalgebras with Indecomposable Cartan Matrix

description: Finite dimensional modular Lie superalgebras over algebraically closed fields with indecomposable Cartan matrices are classified under some technical, most probably inessential, hypotheses. If the Cartan matrix is invertible, the corresponding Lie superalgebra is simple otherwise the quotient of the derived Lie superalgebra modulo center is simple (if its rank is greater than 1). Eleven new exceptional simple modular Lie superalgebras are discovered. Several features of classic notions, or notions themselves, are clarified or introduced, e.g., Cartan matrix, several versions of restrictedness in characteristic 2, Dynkin diagram, Chevalley generators, and even the notion of Lie superalgebra if the characteristic is equal to 2. Interesting phenomena in characteristic 2: (1) all simple Lie superalgebras with Cartan matrix are obtained from simple Lie algebras with Cartan matrix by declaring several (any) of its Chevalley generators odd; (2) there exist simple Lie superalgebras whose even parts are solvable. The Lie superalgebras of fixed points of automorphisms corresponding to the symmetries of Dynkin diagrams are also listed and their simple subquotients described.
Absorption Effects due to Spin in the Worldline Approach to Black Hole Dynamics

description: We generalize the effective point particle approach to black hole dynamics to include spin. In this approach dissipative effects are captured by degrees of freedom localized on the wordline. The absorptive properties of the black hole are determined by correlation functions which can be matched with the graviton absorption cross section in the long wavelength approximation. For rotating black holes, superradiance is responsible for the leading contribution. The effective theory is then used to predict the power loss due to spin in the dynamics of non-relativistic binary systems. An enhancement of three powers of the relative velocity is found with respect to the non-rotating case. Then we generalize the results to other type of constituents in the binary system, such as rotating neutron stars. Finally we compute the power loss absorbed by a test spinning black hole in a given spacetime background.

description: To understand the scientific imaging capability, one must characterize the intra-pixel sensitivity variation (IPSV) of the CMOS image sensor. Extracting an IPSV map contributes to an improved detector calibration that allows to eliminate some of the uncertainty in the spatial response of the system. This paper reports the measurement of the sub-pixel sensitivity variation and the extraction of the 2D IPSV map of a front-side illuminated CMOS image sensor with a pixel pitch of 6 μm. Our optical measurement setup focuses a collimated beam onto the imaging surface with a microscope objective. The spot was scanned in a raster over a single pixel and its immediate neighbors in order to probe its response at selected (sub-pixel) positions. In this work we introduced a novel technique to extract the IPSV map by fitting (forward modeling) the measured data to a mathematical model of the image, generated in a single pixel that allows for a spatially varying sensitivity.

description: As database application performance depends on the utilization of the disk and memory hierarchy, and the speed gap between the processor and memory components widens, smart data placement plays a central role in increasing locality and in improving memory utilization. Existing techniques, however, do not optimize accesses to all levels of memory hierarchy and for all the different workloads, because each storage level uses different technology (cache, memory, disks) and each application accesses data using different (often conflicting) patterns. This paper introduces Clotho, a new buffer pool and storage management architecture. Clotho decouples in-memory page layout from data organization on non-volatile storage devices, enabling independent data layout design at each level of the storage hierarchy. Using Clotho, a DBMS can maximize cache and memory utilization by (a) transparently using appropriate data layouts on memory and non-volatile storage, and (b) dynamically synthesizing data pages to follow application access patterns at each level as needed. Clotho enables (a) independently-tailored page layouts for dynamically changing as well as compound workloads, and (b) use of alternative technologies at each level (e.g., disk arrays or MEMS-based storage devices). We describe the Clotho design and implementation using disk array logical volumes and simulated MEMS-based storage devices, and we evaluate performance under a variety of workloads.

description: Soft drop, a technique originally developed in the context of jet physics in proton-proton collisions in order to reduce the contamination from non-perturbative effects, is applied to event shapes in electron-positron annihilation. In particular, we study the thrust distribution at the $Z$ pole and show that the region where non-perturbative corrections due to the hadronisation process are small is considerably extended if soft drop is applied. Therefore, we argue that the use of soft drop to reduce hadronisation effects is potentially of great benefit in the context of strong coupling determination using event shapes, which would be otherwise characterised by a strong correlation between $α_s$ and non-perturbative parameters. However, reduced sensitivity to hadronisation corrections is only one of the aspects that need to be considered. In this context, we show that perturbative calculability, especially away from the soft and collinear region of the event-shape spectrum, has a nontrivial interplay with the soft-drop observable of choice. To this purpose, besides thrust, we investigate the behaviour of the hemisphere mass as well as the jet mass. We find that the latter shows the most promising behaviour in the intermediate region of the spectrum, especially if small jet radii are considered.

description: High-performance parallel file systems are a critical component of the largest computer systems, are primarily proprietary, and are specialized to high end computing systems that have many access patterns known to be unusual in enterprise and productivity workplaces. Yet little knowledge of even the basic distributions of file systems and file ages are publicly available, even though significant effort and importance is increasingly associated with small files, for example. In this paper we report on the statistics of supercomputing file systems at rest from a variety of national resource computing sites, contrast these to studies of the 80s and 90s of academic and software development campuses and observe the most interesting characteristics in this novel data.

description: We study theoretically the low-energy hole states in Si, Ge, and Ge/Si core/shell nanowires (NWs). The NW core in our model has a rectangular cross section, the results for a square cross section are presented in detail. In the case of Ge and Ge/Si core/shell NWs, we obtain very good agreement with previous theoretical results for cylindrically symmetric NWs. In particular, the NWs allow for an unusually strong and electrically controllable spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of Rashba type. We find that the dominant contribution to the SOI is the "direct Rashba spin-orbit interaction" (DRSOI), which is an important mechanism for systems with heavy-hole-light-hole mixing. Our results for Si NWs depend significantly on the orientation of the crystallographic axes. The numerically observed dependence on the growth direction is consistent with analytical results from a simple model, and we identify a setup where the DRSOI enables spin-orbit energies of the order of millielectronvolts in Si NWs. Furthermore, we analyze the dependence of the SOI on the electric field and the cross section of the Ge or Si core. A helical gap in the spectrum can be opened with a magnetic field. We obtain the largest g factors with magnetic fields applied perpendicularly to the NWs.

description: Binary or dual active galactic nuclei (DAGN) are expected from galaxy formation theories. However, confirmed DAGN are rare and finding these systems has proved to be challenging. Recent systematic searches for DAGN using double-peaked emission lines have yielded several new detections. As have the studies of samples of merging galaxies. In this paper, we present an updated list of DAGN compiled from published data. We also present preliminary results from our ongoing Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA) radio study of eight double- peaked emission-line AGN (DPAGN). One of the sample galaxy shows an S-shaped radio jet. Using new and archival data, we have successfully fitted a precessing jet model to this radio source. We find that the jet precession could be due to a binary AGN with a super-massive black-hole (SMBH) separation of 0.02 pc or a single AGN with a tilted accretion disk. We have found that another sample galaxy, which is undergoing a merger, has two radio cores with a projected separation of 5.6 kpc. We discuss the preliminary results from our radio study.

description: The Big Bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) in the presence of charged massive particles (CHAMPs) is studied in detail. All currently known effects due to the existence of bound states between CHAMPs and nuclei, including possible late-time destruction of Li6 and Li7 are included. The study sets conservative bounds on CHAMP abundances in the decay time range 3x10^2 sec - 10^12 sec. It is stressed that the production of Li6 at early times T ~ 10keV is overestimated by a factor ~ 10 when the approximation of the Saha equation for the He4 bound state fraction is utilised. To obtain conservative limits on the abundance of CHAMPs, a Monte-Carlo analysis with ~ 3x10^6 independent BBN runs, varying reaction rates of nineteen different reactions, is performed (see attached erratum, however). The analysis yields the surprising result that except for small areas in the particle parameter space conservative constraints on the abundance of decaying charged particles are currently very close to those of neutral particles. It is shown that, in case a number of heretofore unconsidered reactions may be determined reliably in future, it is conceivable that the limit on CHAMPs in the early Universe could be tightened by orders of magnitude. An ERRATUM gives limits on primordial CHAMP densities when the by Ref. Kamimura et al. recently more accurately determined CHAMP reaction rates are employed.

description: Choosing the correct settings for large systems can be a daunting task. The performance of the system is often heavily dependent upon these settings, and the “correct” settings are often closely coupled with the workload. System designers usually resort to using a set of heuristic approaches that are known to work well in some cases. However, hand-combining these heuristics is painstaking and fragile. We propose a two-tiered architecture that makes this combination transparent and robust, and describe an application of the architecture to the problem of disk layout optimization. This two-tiered architecture consists of a set of independent heuristics, and an adaptive method of combining them. However, building such a system has proved to be more difficult than expected. Each heuristic depends heavily on decisions from other heuristics, making it difficult to break the problem into smaller pieces. This paper outlines our approaches and how they have worked, discusses the biggest challenges in building the system, and mentions additional possible solutions. Whether this problem is solvable is still open to debate, but the experiences reported provide a cautionary tale; system policy automation is complex and difficult.

description: In our prior study of an L-bit priority encoder (PE), a so-called one-directional-array to two-directional-array conversion method is deployed to turn an L-bit input data into an MxN-bit matrix. Following this, an N-bit PE and an M-bit PE are employed to obtain a row index and column index. From those, the highest priority bit of L-bit input data is achieved. This brief extends our previous work to construct a scalable architecture of high-performance large-sized PEs. An optimum pair of (M, N) and look-ahead signal are proposed to improve the overall PE performance significantly. The evaluation is achieved by implementing a variety of PEs whose L varies from 4-bit to 4096-bit in 180-nm CMOS technology. According to post-place-and-route simulation results, at PE size of 64 bits, 256 bits, and 2048 bits the operating frequencies reach 649 MHz, 520 MHz, and 370 MHz, which are 1.2 times, 1.5 times, and 1.4 times, as high as state-of-the-art ones.

description: Magnetic semiconductors have aroused interest due to their various functionalities related to spintronic devices. Manganese (Mn) as a substitutional impurity in A3B5 semiconductors supplies not only holes, but also localized spins. The ejection of Mn atoms with an uncompensated magnetic moment leads to the appearance of ferromagnetic properties. The most suitable material characterized by long-term spin dynamics is n-type GaAs. In p-type GaAs, the spin relaxation time of electrons is generally much shorter. For purposes of this research, electron-spin relaxation times in 3D and 2D p-type GaAs were studied. Calculation of impurity densities and charge state of magnetic acceptors demonstrate the essential composition of the material. Comparison of theoretical and experimental data in optical-spin orientation of electrons reveal the longest spin relaxation time of 77 ns in 2D GaAs:Mn, less than twice the best time in the p-type 3D GaAs material.

description: Despite rapid recent progress towards the development of quantum computers capable of providing computational advantages over classical computers, it seems likely that such computers will, initially at least, be required to run in a hybrid quantum-classical regime. This realisation has led to interest in hybrid quantum-classical algorithms allowing, for example, quantum computers to solve large problems despite having very limited numbers of qubits. Here we propose a hybrid paradigm for quantum annealers with the goal of mitigating a different limitation of such devices: the need to embed problem instances within the (often highly restricted) connectivity graph of the annealer. This embedding process can be costly to perform and may destroy any computational speedup. In order to solve many practical problems, it is moreover necessary to perform many, often related, such embeddings. We will show how, for such problems, a raw speedup that is negated by the embedding time can nonetheless be exploited to give a real speedup. As a proof-of-concept example we present an in-depth case study of a simple problem based on the maximum weight independent set problem. Although we do not observe a quantum speedup experimentally, the advantage of the hybrid approach is robustly verified, showing how a potential quantum speedup may be exploited and encouraging further efforts to apply the approach to problems of more practical interest.
