description: In times of whole city centres being available by a mouse click in 3D to virtually walk through, reality sometimes
 becomes neglected. The reality of scientific sample collections not being digitised to the essence of molecules,
 isotopes and electrons becomes unbelievable to the upgrowing generation of scientists. Just like any other geological institute the Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research GEOMAR accumulated
 thousands of specimen. The samples, collected mainly during marine expeditions, date back as far as 1964. Today
 GEOMAR houses a central geological sample collection of at least 17 000 m of sediment core and more than 4
 500 boxes with hard rock samples and refined sample specimen. This repository, having been dormant, missed the
 onset of the interconnected digital age. Physical samples without barcodes, QR codes or RFID tags need to be
 migrated and reconnected, urgently. In our use case, GEOMAR opted for the International Geo Sample Number IGSN as the persistent identi-
 fier. Consequentially, the software CurationDIS by smartcube GmbH as the central component of this project
 was selected. The software is designed to handle acquisition and administration of sample material and sample
 archiving in storage places. In addition, the software allows direct embedding of IGSN. We plan to adopt IGSN
 as a future asset, while for the initial inventory taking of our sample material, simple but unique QR codes act as
 “bridging identifiers” during the process. Currently we compile an overview of the broad variety of sample types and their associated data. QR-coding of
 the boxes of rock samples and sediment cores is near completion, delineating their location in the repository and
 linking a particular sample to any information available about the object. Planning is in progress to streamline the
 flow from receiving new samples to their curation to sharing samples and information publically. Additionally,
 interface planning for linkage to GEOMAR databases OceanRep (publications) and OSIS (expeditions) as well as
 for external data retrieval are in the pipeline. Looking ahead to implement IGSN, taking on board lessons learned from earlier generations, it will enable
 to comply with our institute’s open science policy. Also it will allow to register newly collected samples already
 during ship expeditions. They thus receive their "birth certificate" contemporarily in this ever faster revolving
 scientific world.

description: В статье рассматривается система «умный» город и ее возможности. В этой системе нас интересует не только внедрение в городскую среду инструментов для повышения эффективности управления территорией и создание условий комфортной жизни горожан, но, в первую очередь, мы предпринимаем попытку очертить границы свободы и ответственности человека в этих новых условиях. Оказавшись в клетке правил интеллектуальной системы «умного» города, человек может перестать быть творцом самого себя, творческой и свободной личностью. С нашей точки зрения, город становиться «smart» не столько благодаря современным
автоматизированным инженерным технологиям, а через своих жителей, которые инициативны, стремятся к объединению и настроены на совместное решение проблем.

description: Our aim is to examine the size, kinematics, and geometry of the broad-line region (BLR) in the double-lensed quasar Q 0957+561 by analyzing the impact of microlensing on various rest-frame ultraviolet broad-emission lines (BELs). We explore the influence of intrinsic variability and microlensing on the C IV, C III], and Mg II emission lines through multiple spectroscopic observations taken between April 1999 and January 2017. By utilizing the line cores as a reference for no microlensing and correcting for the long time delay between the images, we estimate the sizes of the regions emitting the broad-line wings using a Bayesian approach. Our study of the microlensing amplitudes between the lensed images of the quasar Q 0957+561 reveals differing sizes of the regions emitting the three prominent BELs C IV, C III], and Mg II. The strength of the differential microlensing indicates that the high-ionization line C IV arises from a compact inner region of the BLR with a half-light radius of $R_{1/2} \gtrsim 16.0$ lt-days, which represents a lower limit on the overall size of the BLR and is comparable to the size of the region emitting the r-band continuum in this system. A somewhat larger size of $R_{1/2}\gtrsim 44$ lt-days is obtained for the semi-forbidden line C III]. Microlensing has a weak impact on the lower-ionization line Mg II, which is emitted from a region with a half-light radius of $R_{1/2} \gtrsim 50$ lt-days. These findings suggest that the BEL regions may have distinct geometries and kinematics, with the more extended ones being spherically symmetric, and the most compact ones being nonspherical, with motions likely confined to a plane.
Semi-supervised Feature Analysis by Mining Correlations among Multiple Tasks

description: In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised feature selection framework by mining correlations among multiple tasks and apply it to different multimedia applications. Instead of independently computing the importance of features for each task, our algorithm leverages shared knowledge from multiple related tasks, thus, improving the performance of feature selection. Note that we build our algorithm on assumption that different tasks share common structures. The proposed algorithm selects features in a batch mode, by which the correlations between different features are taken into consideration. Besides, considering the fact that labeling a large amount of training data in real world is both time-consuming and tedious, we adopt manifold learning which exploits both labeled and unlabeled training data for feature space analysis. Since the objective function is non-smooth and difficult to solve, we propose an iterative algorithm with fast convergence. Extensive experiments on different applications demonstrate that our algorithm outperforms other state-of-the-art feature selection algorithms.

description: The search for $ν_μ\to ν_e$ oscillations by the MiniBooNE Collaboration at Fermilab has revealed a low-energy signal which could be due either to electrons produced by $ν_e$ or photons produced by the interaction of the weak neutral current on the target nucleus. One contribution to the latter is a Wess-Zumino-Witten anomaly leading to a term in the Lagrangian proportional to $ε^{μνκλ} Z_μω_νF_{κλ}$. This term is normalized with the help of the known rates for the processes $f_1 \to ργ$ and $τ\to ν_τa_1$. A rate of about 1/4 of that employed in several previous estimates is obtained. As the anomaly term had already been found to play a subdominant role in photon production (e.g., in comparison with $Δ$ excitation and decay), the present estimate reduces its strength even further.

description: Incorporating UV-sensitive electron transport layers (ETLs) into organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) photovoltaic devices dramatically impacts short-circuit current (Jsc) and fill factor characteristics. Resistivity changes induced by UV illumination in the ETL of inverted BHJ devices suppress bimolecular recombination producing up to a two orders of magnitude change in Jsc. Electro-optical modeling and light intensity experiments effectively demonstrate that bimolecular recombination, in the form of diode current losses, controls the extracted photocurrent and is directly dependent on the ETL resistivity.

description: Quantum mechanics is a field often considered very mathematical, abstract, and unintuitive. One way some instructors are hoping to help familiarize their students with these complex topics is to have the students see quantum effects in experiments in undergraduate instructional labs. Here, we present results from an interview study about what it means to both instructors and students to see quantum effects in experiments. We focus on a popular set of quantum optics experiments, and find that students believe they are observing quantum effects and achieving related learning goals by working with these experiments. Although it is not possible to see the quantum phenomena directly with their eyes, students point out different aspects of the experiments that contribute to them observing quantum effects. This often includes seeing the experimental results, sometimes in conjunction with interacting with or understanding part of the experiment. There is additional variation across student achievement of the various related learning goals, ranging from many of the students being excited about these experiments and making a connection between the mathematical theory and the experiments to only some of the students seeing a connection between these experiments and quantum technologies. This work can help instructors consider the importance and framing of quantum experiments and raises questions about when and how in the curriculum quantum experiments can be best utilized and how to make related learning goals available to all students.

description: We have determined quantitatively third-order anharmonic phonon coupling matrix elements in vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) grown ZnO nanowires, via an analysis of the Raman line shape of the E2high phonon mode. The results suggest that the decay of the E2high phonon into the sum of two acoustic phonons is suppressed in VLS-grown ZnO nanowires compared to bulk ZnO. While further studies are needed to elucidate the origin of this phenomenon, we suggest that isotope effects on Zn vapor transport and diffusion through metal nanocatalysts, processes during the VLS growth, can be contributing mechanisms.

description: We consider four-dimensional conformal gravity coupled to the U(1) Maxwell and SU(2) Yang-Mills fields. We study the structure of general black hole solutions carrying five independent parameters: the mass, the electric U(1) and magnetic SU(2) charges, the massive spin-2 charge and the thermodynamical pressure associated with the cosmological constant, which is an integration constant in conformal gravity. We derive the thermodynamical first law of the black holes. We obtain some exact solutions including an extremal black hole with vanishing mass and entropy, but with non-trivial SU(2) Yang-Mills charges. We derive the remainder of the first law for this special solution. We also reexamine the colored black holes and derive their first law in Einstein-Yang-Mills gravity with or without a cosmological constant.

description: Background: Glucocorticoids (e.g. cortisol) are associated with variation in social behavior, and previous studies have linked baseline as well as challenge-induced glucocorticoid concentrations to dominance status. It is known that cortisol response to an acute challenge is repeatable and correlates to social behavior in males of many mammal species. However, it is unclear whether these patterns are also consistent for females. The aim of this study was to investigate whether baseline and response cortisol concentrations are repeatable in female guinea pigs ('Cavia aperea f. porcellus') and whether dominance rank is stable and correlated to baseline cortisol concentration and/or cortisol responsiveness. Results: Our results show that cortisol responsiveness (after 1 h: R = 0.635, 95% CI = 0.229, 0.927; after 2 h: R = 0.764, 95% CI = 0.433, 0.951) and dominance rank (R = 0.709, 95% CI = 0.316, 0.935) of females were significantly repeatable after six weeks but not correlated. Baseline cortisol was not repeatable (R = 0, 95% CI = 0, 0.690) and also did not correlate to dominance rank. Furthermore, the difference in repeatability estimates of baseline and response values was due to high within-individual variance of baseline cortisol concentration; the amount of between-individual variance was similar for baseline cortisol and the two measures of cortisol responsiveness. Conclusions: Females occupying different dominance ranks did not have long-term differences in cortisol concentrations, and cortisol responsiveness does not seem to be significantly involved in the maintenance of dominance rank. Overall, this study reveals the remarkable stability of cortisol responsiveness and dominance rank in a female rodent, and it remains an open question whether the magnitude of cortisol responsiveness is adaptive in social contexts for females.

description: We analyze optical absorption enhancements and quasiguided mode properties of organic solar cells with highly ordered nanostructured photoactive layers comprised of the bulk heterojunction blend, poly-3- hexylthiophene/[6,6]-phenyl- C61-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PCBM) and a low index of refraction conducting material (LICM). This photonic crystal geometry is capable of enhancing spectral absorption by ∼17% in part due to the excitation of quasiguided modes near the band edge of P3HT:PCBM. A nanostructure thickness between 200 nm and 300 nm is determined to be optimal, while the LICM must have an index of refraction ∼0.3 lower than P3HT:PCBM to produce absorption enhancements. Quasiguided modes that differ in lifetime by an order of magnitude are also identified and yield absorption that is concentrated in the P3HT:PCBM flash layer.

description: Very light gravitinos could be produced at a sizeable rate at colliders and have been searched for in the mono-photon or mono-jet plus missing momentum signature. Strategies for enhancing the signal over background and interpretations of the experimental results are typically obtained within an effective field theory approach where all SUSY particles except the gravitino are heavy and are not produced resonantly. We extend this approach to a simplified model that includes squarks and gluinos in the TeV range. In such a case, the jet(s)-plus-missing-momentum signature can be generated through three different concurring mechanisms: gravitino-pair production with an extra jet, associated gravitino production with a squark or a gluino, or squark/gluino pair production with their subsequent decay to a gravitino and a jet. By using a matrix-element parton-shower merging procedure, we take into account all the relevant production processes consistently, explore the SUSY parameter space with the LHC Run-I data set, and give prospects for the Run II. We also consider the reach of other signatures involving electroweak particles, e.g., the mono-photon, -Z, or -W plus missing momentum. The current mono-jet and mono-photon LHC analyses are interpreted to set a lower bound on the gravitino mass. We show how the limit of $m_{3/2}>1.7\times10^{-13}$ GeV obtained in the effective field theory hypothesis is modified when the squarks and/or the gluino are in the TeV range.

Absorption enhancements over the full absorption range of P3HT:PCBM of 20% (one polarization) and 14% are shown for the 1D and 2D structures, respectively. These improvements result in part from band edge excitation of quasiguided modes. The geometries are also shown to create excitons 26% (1D) and 11% (2D) closer to P3HT:PCBM exit interfaces indicating further photovoltaic improvement.

description: While Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) models have shown significant advances with the introduction of unsupervised or self-supervised training techniques, these improvements are still only limited to a subsection of languages and speakers. Transfer learning enables the adaptation of large-scale multilingual models to not only low-resource languages but also to more specific speaker groups. However, fine-tuning on data from new domains is usually accompanied by a decrease in performance on the original domain. Therefore, in our experiments, we examine how well the performance of large-scale ASR models can be approximated for smaller domains, with our own dataset of German Senior Voice Commands (SVC-de), and how much of the general speech recognition performance can be preserved by selectively freezing parts of the model during training. To further increase the robustness of the ASR model to vocabulary and speakers outside of the fine-tuned domain, we apply Experience Replay for continual learning. By adding only a fraction of data from the original domain, we are able to reach Word-Error-Rates (WERs) below 5\% on the new domain, while stabilizing performance for general speech recognition at acceptable WERs.

description: Objective: Metabolic synome (MetS) is one of the preventable cardiovasculer disease (CVD) risk factors. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of MetS on CVD and cumulative organ damage in a multi-center, large cohort of TAK patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 192 consecutive TAK patients from 7 tertiary rheumatology centers in Turkey. Clinical data of TAK patients fulfilling the 1990 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria were collected from medical records. They were evaluated for risk factors of CVD, disease activity, damage, and MetS at last visits. Results: Consecutive 192 TAK patients were included in this study. One huned fifty-eight (82%) patients were female, the mean age was 43.3 ± 13 years and mean disease duration was 13.5±9.3 years. MetS was detected in 50 (26%) of patients and CVD was detected in 28 (14.6%). The presence of MetS was detected as an independent risk factor for CVD (p=0.0001). In addition to the mean VDI of the group with MetS was significantly higher than others (4.5±3.3 vs 3.2±2.2, respectively, p=0.004). Conclusion: The presence of MetS in TAK is an independent risk factor both for increased CVD and disease damage. Awareness and management of MetS can improve disease prognosis in patients with TAK.

description: We calculate the beating of $h/2e$ and $h/e$ periodic oscillations of the flux-dependent critical supercurrent $I_c(Φ)$ through a quantum spin-Hall insulator between two superconducting electrodes. A conducting pathway along the superconductor connects the helical edge channels via a non-helical channel, allowing an electron incident on the superconductor along one edge to be Andreev reflected along the opposite edge. In the limit of small Andreev reflection probability the resulting even-odd effect is described by $I_c\propto|\cos(eΦ/\hbar)+f|$, with $|f|\ll 1$ proportional to the probability for phase-coherent inter-edge transmission. Because the sign of $f$ depends on microscopic details, a sample-dependent inversion of the alternation of large and small peaks is a distinctive feature of the beating mechanism for the even-odd effect.

description: We study the moduli space of self-dual instantons on $\mathbb{C}P^2$. These are described by an ADHM-like construction which allows to compute the Hilbert series of the moduli space. The latter has been found to be blind to certain compact directions. In this paper we probe these, finding them to correspond to a Grassmanian, upon considering appropriate ungaugings. Moreover, the ADHM-like construction can be embedded into a $3d$ gauge theory with a known gravity dual. Using this, we realize in $AdS_4/CFT_3$ (part of) the instanton moduli space providing at the same time further evidence supporting the $AdS_4/CFT_3$ duality. Moreover, upon orbifolding, we provide the ADHM-like construction of instantons on $\mathbb{C}P^2/\mathbb{Z}_n$ as well as compute its Hilbert series. As in the unorbifolded case, these turn out to coincide with those for instantons on $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_n$.

In these experiments, the transition is brought about by thermal heating of the bilayer film. The surprising reverse hysteretic behavior of the transmission through the subwavelength holes in the vanadium oxide suggest that this modulation is accomplished by a dielectric-matching condition rather than plasmon coupling through the bilayer film. The results of this switching, including the wavelength dependence, are qualitatively reproduced by a transfer matrix model. The prospects for effecting a similar modulation on a much faster time scale by using ultrafast laser pulses to trigger the semiconductor-to-metal transition are also discussed.

description: The stellar mass - halo mass relation provides a strong basis for connecting galaxies to their host dark matter halos in both simulations and observations. Other observable information, such as the density of the local environment, can place further constraints on a given halo's properties. In this paper, we test how the peak masses of dark matter halos and subhalos correlate with observationally-accessible environment measures, using a neural network to extract as much information from the environment as possible. For high mass halos (peak mass $>10^{12.5} M_{\odot}$), the information on halo mass contained in stellar mass - selected galaxy samples is confined to the $\sim$ 1 Mpc region surrounding the halo center. Below this mass threshold, nearly the entirety of the information on halo mass is contained in the galaxy's own stellar mass instead of the neighboring galaxy distribution. The overall root-mean-squared error of the best-performing network was 0.20 dex. When applied to only the central halos within the test data, the same network had an error of 0.17 dex. Our findings suggest that, for the purposes of halo mass inference, both distances to the $k$th nearest neighbor and counts in cells of neighbors in a fixed aperture are similarly effective measurements of the local environment.

description: We compute the decay width of $h^0 \to c \bar{c}$ in the MSSM with quark flavor violation (QFV) at full one-loop level adopting the $\overline{\rm DR}$ renormalisation scheme. We study the effects of $\tilde{c}-\tilde{t}$ mixing, taking into account the constraints from the B meson data. We show that the full one-loop corrected decay width $Γ(h^0 \to c \bar{c})$ is very sensitive to the MSSM QFV parameters. In a scenario with large $\tilde{c}_{L,R}-\tilde{t}_{L,R}$ mixing $Γ(h^0 \to c \bar{c})$ can differ up to $\sim \pm 35\%$ from its SM value. After estimating the uncertainties of the width, we conclude that an observation of these SUSY QFV effects is possible at an $e^+ e^-$ collider (ILC).

description: We introduce a new mesoscopic model for nematic liquid crystals (LCs). We extend the particle-based stochastic rotation dynamics method, which reproduces the Navier-Stokes equation, to anisotropic fluids by including a simplified Ericksen-Leslie formulation of nematodynamics. We verify the applicability of this hybrid model by studying the equilibrium isotropic-nematic phase transition and nonequilibrium problems, such as the dynamics of topological defects, and the rheology of sheared LCs. Our simulation results show that this hybrid model captures many essential aspects of LC physics at the mesoscopic scale, while preserving microscopic thermal fluctuations.

description: The spectral statistics of non-Hermitian random matrices are of importance as a diagnostic tool for chaotic behavior in open quantum systems. Here, we investigate the statistical properties of singular values in non-Hermitian random matrices as an effective measure of quantifying dissipative quantum chaos. By means of Hermitization, we reveal the unique characteristics of the singular-value statistics that distinguish them from the complex-eigenvalue statistics, and establish the comprehensive classification of the singular-value statistics for all the 38-fold symmetry classes of non-Hermitian random matrices. We also analytically derive the singular-value statistics of small random matrices, which well describe those of large random matrices in the similar spirit to the Wigner surmise. Furthermore, we demonstrate that singular values of open quantum many-body systems follow the random-matrix statistics, thereby identifying chaos and nonintegrability in open quantum systems. Our work elucidates that the singular-value statistics serve as a clear indicator of symmetry and lay a foundation for statistical physics of open quantum systems.

description: We directly trace the multi-THz conductivity of VO2 during an insulator-metal transition triggered by a 12-fs light pulse. The femtosecond dynamics of lattice and electronic degrees of freedom are spectrally discriminated. A coherent wave packet motion of V-V dimers at 6 THz modulates the lattice polarizability for approximately 1 ps. In contrast, the electronic conductivity settles to a constant value already after one V-V oscillation cycle. Based on our findings, we propose a qualitative model for the nonthermal phase transition.

description: The authors compare transmission measurements of near-infrared light through V O2 thin films on smooth substrates and on ordered arrays of silica microspheres. When the samples are heated above the critical temperature for the semiconductor-metallic phase transition, smooth thin films show reduced transmission independent of thickness; however, the V O2 film deposited on the microspheres may show either reduced or enhanced transmission, depending on V O2 film thickness. They show that this at a first glance, unexpected behavior is directly related to the change of scattering efficiency upon the phase transition. This suggests that optical transmission through thin-film microstructures could be tuned by an appropriate combination of microsphere ordering and V O2 film thickness.

description: We investigate the dielectric properties of a thin V O2 film in the terahertz frequency range in the vicinity of the semiconductor-metal phase transition. Phase-sensitive broadband spectroscopy in the frequency region below the phonon bands of V O2 gives insight into the conductive properties of the film during the phase transition. We compare our experimental data with models proposed for the evolution of the phase transition. The experimental data show that the phase transition occurs via the gradual growth of metallic domains in the film, and that the dielectric properties of the film in the vicinity of the transition temperature must be described by effective-medium theory. The simultaneous measurement of both transmission and phase shift allows us to show that Maxwell-Garnett effective-medium theory, coupled with the Drude conductivity model, can account for the observed behavior, whereas the widely used Bruggeman effective-medium theory is not consistent with our findings. Our results show that even at temperatures significantly above the transition temperature the formation of a uniform metallic phase is not complete.

description: Epigenetic regulation of various genomic functions, including gene expression, provide mechanisms whereby an organism can dynamically respond to changes in its environment and modify gene expression accordingly. One epigenetic mechanism implicated in human aging and age-related disorders is DNA methylation. Isolated populations such as Norfolk Island (NI) should be advantageous for the identification of epigenetic factors related to aging due to reduced genetic and environmental variation. Here we conducted a methylome-wide association study of age using whole blood DNA in 24 healthy female individuals from the NI genetic isolate (aged 24-47 years). We analysed 450K methylation array data using a machine learning approach (GLMnet) to identify age-associated CpGs. We identified 497 CpG sites, mapping to 422 genes, associated with age, with 11 sites previously associated with age. The strongest associations identified were for a single CpG site in MYOF and an extended region within the promoter of DDO. These hits were validated in curated public data from 2316 blood samples (MARMAL-AID). This study is the first to report robust age associations for MYOF and DDO, both of which have plausible functional roles in aging. This study also illustrates the value of genetic isolates to reveal new associations with epigenome-level data.
