description: The nature of the hidden-order (HO) state in URu2Si2 remains one of the major unsolved issues in heavy-fermion physics. Recently, torque magnetometry, x-ray diffraction and elastoresistivity data have suggested that the HO phase transition at THO = 17.5 K is driven by electronic nematic effects. Here, we search for thermodynamic signatures of this purported structural instability using anisotropic thermal-expansion, Youngś modulus, elastoresistivity and specific-heat measurements. In contrast to the published results, we find no evidence of a rotational symmetry-breaking in any of our data. Interestingly, our elastoresistivity measurements, which are in full agreement with published results, exhibit a Curie-Weiss divergence, which we however attribute to a volume and not to a symmetry-breaking effect. Finally, clear evidence for thermal fluctuations is observed in our heat-capacity data, from which we estimate the HO correlation length.

description: Facebook Disaster Maps (FBDM) is the first platform providing analysis-ready population change products derived from crowdsourced data targeting disaster relief practices. We evaluate the representativeness of FBDM data using the Mann-Kendall test and emerging hot and cold spots in an anomaly analysis to reveal the trend, magnitude, and agglommeration of population displacement during the Mendocino Complex and Woolsey fires in California, USA. Our results show that the distribution of FBDM pre-crisis users fits well with the total population from different sources. Due to usage habits, the elder population is underrepresented in FBDM data. During the two mega-fires in California, FBDM data effectively captured the temporal change of population arising from the placing and lifting of evacuation orders. Coupled with monotonic trends, the fall and rise of cold and hot spots of population revealed the areas with the greatest population drop and potential places to house the displaced residents. A comparison between the Mendocino Complex and Woolsey fires indicates that a densely populated region can be evacuated faster than a scarcely populated one, possibly due to the better access to transportation. In sparsely populated fire-prone areas, resources should be prioritized to move people to shelters as the displaced residents do not have many alternative options, while their counterparts in densely populated areas can utilize their social connections to seek temporary stay at nearby locations during an evacuation. Integrated with an assessment on underrepresented communities, FBDM data and the derivatives can provide much needed information of near real-time population displacement for crisis response and disaster relief. As applications and data generation mature, FBDM will harness crowdsourced data and aid first responder decision-making.

description: Ductile compaction is common in many natural systems, but the temporal evolution of such systems is rarely studied. We observe surprising oscillations in the weight measured at the bottom of a self-compacting ensemble of ductile grains. The oscillations develop during the first ten hours of the experiment, and usually persist through the length of an experiment (one week). The weight oscillations are connected to the grain--wall contacts, and are directly correlated with the observed strain evolution and the dynamics of grain--wall contacts during the compaction. Here, we present the experimental results and characteristic time constants of the system, and discuss possible reasons for the measured weight oscillations.

description: A fragile topological insulator (FTI) can be viewed as an almost-atomic insulator, with emergent negative charges localized at certain real space points, even though the underlying lattice Hilbert space contains only positively charged states. Fragile topology in free fermion systems has been fruitfully studied using modern topological band theory. However, the concept is well defined even for strongly correlated systems, and fragile states that cannot be realized within free fermion band theory exist abundantly. In this work we propose a rather general parton construction for such correlation-enabled FTIs. In our parton construction the associated gauge symmetries are completely Higgsed, resulting in only short-range entangled states. The effective negative charges in the FTIs emerge naturally as the remnants of negatively charged partons. For spinful electrons with $SU(2)$ spin-rotation symmetry, the fragile phases can be viewed as FTIs of charge-$2$, spin singlet bosonic Cooper pairs. We discuss a few examples of correlated FTIs for both spinless and spinful fermions, including some "featureless Mott insulators" on the honeycomb lattice previously discussed in the literature.

description: Medical imaging systems are commonly assessed and optimized by use of objective measures of image quality (IQ). The Ideal Observer (IO) performance has been advocated to provide a figure-of-merit for use in assessing and optimizing imaging systems because the IO sets an upper performance limit among all observers. When joint signal detection and localization tasks are considered, the IO that employs a modified generalized likelihood ratio test maximizes observer performance as characterized by the localization receiver operating characteristic (LROC) curve. Computations of likelihood ratios are analytically intractable in the majority of cases. Therefore, sampling-based methods that employ Markov-Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) techniques have been developed to approximate the likelihood ratios. However, the applications of MCMC methods have been limited to relatively simple object models. Supervised learning-based methods that employ convolutional neural networks have been recently developed to approximate the IO for binary signal detection tasks. In this paper, the ability of supervised learning-based methods to approximate the IO for joint signal detection and localization tasks is explored. Both background-known-exactly and background-known-statistically signal detection and localization tasks are considered. The considered object models include a lumpy object model and a clustered lumpy model, and the considered measurement noise models include Laplacian noise, Gaussian noise, and mixed Poisson-Gaussian noise. The LROC curves produced by the supervised learning-based method are compared to those produced by the MCMC approach or analytical computation when feasible. The potential utility of the proposed method for computing objective measures of IQ for optimizing imaging system performance is explored.

Excitation-contraction coupling in the human saphenous vein
Creators: name: Crowley, Christine Maureen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Background: Human vascular preparations are most suitable to study vascular physiology and pathophysiology. Fresh tissues are difficult to obtain and may be damaged from the surgical procedure, limiting their use or introducing variability in the experimental findings. The purpose of this study was two-fold: (1) to demonstrate that a functional human saphenous vein (HSV) preparation may be obtained from coronary artery revascularisation procedures; (2) to elucidate excitation-contraction coupling mechanisms in functionally intact segments of HSV. Methods: Isometric contraction experiments were performed using contractile stimuli, such as high K⁺ depolarising solution (high K⁺) and the α₁-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine (PE), and an endothelium-dependent vasodilator, acetylcholine (ACh). Contraction was also combined with in situ smooth muscle intracellular Ca²⁺ ([Ca²⁺][sub i]) imaging by confocal microscopy in HSV stimulated by high K⁺ and PE. Results & Conclusions: HSV segments that were undistended showed far greater responsiveness to contractile and relaxing stimuli than portions of HSV segments that were distended and surgically prepared. Hence, all subsequent experiments were performed on undistended HSV segments. High K⁺ elicited a sustained rise in [Ca²⁺][sub i] and contraction. Contractions in nominally Ca²⁺-free physiological salt solution (PSS) were not attenuated and decayed many orders of magnitude slower in the HSV than in animal vascular preparations. High K⁺ contractions in both normal and nominally Ca²⁺-free PSS were nearly completely blocked by the Ca²⁺ antagonist nifedipine. These results suggest the presence of an extracellular source of tightly bound Ca²⁺ in HSV segments. Stimulation of HSV segments with PE resulted in a transient rise in [Ca²⁺]i that returned to baseline during sustained contractions. Nominally Ca²⁺-free PSS, pre-incubation with nifedipine or the non-specific cation channel blocker SK&F 96365, significantly depressed the maximum amplitude of these contractions. The sustained phase of the contraction was not sensitive to Ca²⁺ antagonists, but was attenuated by Ca²⁺ removal, suggesting Ca²⁺ influx through the leak pathway during this phase. The rho kinase inhibitor HA-1077 completely abolished while the tyrosine kinase inhibitor genistein only attenuated the plateau phase. Protein kinase C and mitogen-activated protein kinase were not involved. Hence, calcium, rho kinase and tyrosine phosphorylation mediate PE contractions in the HSV.

description: The Late Devonian was a protracted period of low speciation resulting in biodiversity decline, culminating in extinction events near the Devonian-Carboniferous boundary. Recent evidence indicates that the final extinction event may have coincided with a dramatic drop in stratospheric ozone, possibly due to a global temperature rise. Here we study an alternative possible cause for the postulated ozone drop: a nearby supernova explosion that could inflict damage by accelerating cosmic rays that can deliver ionizing radiation for up to $\sim 100$ kyr. We therefore propose that the end-Devonian extinctions were triggered by supernova explosions at $\sim 20$ pc, somewhat beyond the "kill distance" that would have precipitated a full mass extinction. Such nearby supernovae are likely due to core-collapses of massive stars; these are concentrated in the thin Galactic disk where the Sun resides. Detecting either of the long-lived radioisotopes Sm-146 or Pu-244 in one or more end-Devonian extinction strata would confirm a supernova origin, point to the core-collapse explosion of a massive star, and probe supernova nucleosythesis. Other possible tests of the supernova hypothesis are discussed.

description: We study the scaling regime of nucleon - anti-nucleon annihilation into a deeply virtual photon and a meson, bar p N -> gamma* pi. We obtain the leading twist amplitude in the kinematical region where it factorizes into an antiproton distribution amplitude, a short-distance matrix element related to nucleon form factor and the long-distance dominated transition distribution amplitudes which describe the nucleon to meson transition. We give the Q^2 evolution equation for these transition distribution amplitudes. The scaling of the cross section of this process may be tested at the proposed GSI intense anti-proton beam facility FAIR with the PANDA or PAX detectors. We comment on related processes such as pi N -> N' gamma* and gamma* N -> N' pi which may be experimentally studied at intense meson beams facilities and at JLab or Hermes, respectively.

description: Solid-state single photon sources (SPSs) with narrow line width play an important role in many leading quantum technologies. Within the wide range of SPSs studied to date, single fluorescent molecules hosted in organic crystals stand out as bright, photostable SPSs with a lifetime-limited optical resonance at cryogenic temperatures. Furthermore, recent results have demonstrated that photostability and narrow line widths are still observed from single molecules hosted in a nanocrystalline environment, which paves the way for their integration with photonic circuitry. Polymers offer a compatible matrix for embedding nanocrystals and provide a versatile yet low-cost approach for making nanophotonic structures on chip that guide light and enhance coupling to nanoscale emitters. Here, we present a deterministic nanostructuring technique based on electron-beam lithography for shaping polymers with embedded single molecules. Our approach provides a direct means of structuring the nanoscale environment of narrow line width emitters while preserving their emission properties.

description: There is a strong competition from low-priced imported catfish fillets resulting in a declining market share for domestic farm-raised catfish fillets. To match the competition, catfish processors are embarking on pricing policy measures that are volume-oriented instead of profit- or image-oriented. This could be an effective short-run pricing policy measure for optimal long-run sustainability and profitability of the industry. Volume pricing strategies are aimed at meeting target sales volumes or market shares. This paper explores and compares the performance of the standard logit, the inverse power transformation (IPT) logit and the logarithmic version of the inverse power transformation logit models in terms of generating forecasts for market share of U.S. farm-raised catfish fillets. The results suggest a better performance of the log-IPT in every aspect compared to the linear standard logit and the IPT logit models.

description: Evaluating and optimising human comfort within the built environment is challenging due to the large number of physiological, psychological and environmental variables that affect occupant comfort preference. Human perception could be helpful to capture these disparate phenomena and interpreting their impact; the challenge is collecting spatially and temporally diverse subjective feedback in a scalable way. This paper presents a methodology to collect intensive longitudinal subjective feedback of comfort-based preference using micro ecological momentary assessments on a smartwatch platform. An experiment with 30 occupants over two weeks produced 4,378 field-based surveys for thermal, noise, and acoustic preference. The occupants and the spaces in which they left feedback were then clustered according to these preference tendencies. These groups were used to create different feature sets with combinations of environmental and physiological variables, for use in a multi-class classification task. These classification models were trained on a feature set that was developed from time-series attributes, environmental and near-body sensors, heart rate, and the historical preferences of both the individual and the comfort group assigned. The most accurate model had multi-class classification F1 micro scores of 64%, 80% and 86% for thermal, light, and noise preference, respectively. The discussion outlines how these models can enhance comfort preference prediction when supplementing data from installed sensors. The approach presented prompts reflection on how the building analysis community evaluates, controls, and designs indoor environments through balancing the measurement of variables with strategically asking for occupant preferences in an intensive longitudinal way.

description: Published B and V fluxes from nearby Type Ia supernovae are fitted to light-curve templates with 4-6 adjustable parameters. Separately, B magnitudes from the same sample are fitted to a linear dependence on B-V color within a post-maximum time window prescribed by the CMAGIC method. These fits yield two independent SN magnitude estimates B_max and B_BV. Their difference varies systematically with decline rate Delta m_15 in a form that is compatible with a bilinear but not a linear dependence; a nonlinear form likely describes the decline-rate dependence of B_max itself. A Hubble fit to the average of B_max and B_BV requires a systematic correction for observed B-V color that can be described by a linear coefficient R = 2.59 +- 0.24, well below the coefficient R_B ~ 4.1 commonly used to characterize the effects of Milky Way dust. At 99.9% confidence the data reject a simple model in which no color correction is required for SNe that are clustered at the blue end of their observed color distribution. After systematic corrections are performed, B_max and B_BV exhibit mutual rms intrinsic variation equal to 0.074 +- 0.019 mag, of which at least an equal share likely belongs to B_BV. SN magnitudes measured using maximum-luminosity or CMAGIC methods show comparable rms deviations of order ~ 0.14 mag from the Hubble line. The same fit also establishes a 95% confidence upper limit of 486 km/s on the rms peculiar velocity of nearby SNe relative to the Hubble flow.

description: The class II methanol maser source G9.62+0.20E undergoes periodic flares at both 6.7 and 12.2 GHz. The flare starting in 2001 October was observed at seven epochs over three months using the VLBA at 12.2 GHz. High angular resolution images (beam size $\sim$ 1.7 x 0.6 mas) were obtained, enabling us to observe changes in 16 individual maser components. It was found that while existing maser spots increased in flux density, no new spots developed and no changes in morphology were observed. This rules out any mechanism which disturbs the masing region itself, implying that the flares are caused by a change in either the seed or pump photon levels. A time delay of 1--2 weeks was observed between groups of maser features. These delays can be explained by light travel time between maser groups. The regularity of the flares can possibly be explained by a binary system.

description: Recent studies identify that Deep learning Neural Networks (DNNs) are vulnerable to subtle perturbations, which are not perceptible to human visual system but can fool the DNN models and lead to wrong outputs. A class of adversarial attack network algorithms has been proposed to generate robust physical perturbations under different circumstances. These algorithms are the first efforts to move forward secure deep learning by providing an avenue to train future defense networks, however, the intrinsic complexity of them prevents their broader usage. In this paper, we propose the first hardware accelerator for adversarial attacks based on memristor crossbar arrays. Our design significantly improves the throughput of a visual adversarial perturbation system, which can further improve the robustness and security of future deep learning systems. Based on the algorithm uniqueness, we propose four implementations for the adversarial attack accelerator ($A^3$) to improve the throughput, energy efficiency, and computational efficiency.

description: The trace regression model, a direct extension of the well-studied linear regression model, allows one to map matrices to real-valued outputs. We here introduce an even more general model, namely the partial-trace regression model, a family of linear mappings from matrix-valued inputs to matrix-valued outputs; this model subsumes the trace regression model and thus the linear regression model. Borrowing tools from quantum information theory, where partial trace operators have been extensively studied, we propose a framework for learning partial trace regression models from data by taking advantage of the so-called low-rank Kraus representation of completely positive maps. We show the relevance of our framework with synthetic and real-world experiments conducted for both i) matrix-to-matrix regression and ii) positive semidefinite matrix completion, two tasks which can be formulated as partial trace regression problems.

description: Slow and dense granular flows often exhibit narrow shear bands, making them ill-suited for a continuum description. However, smooth granular flows have been shown to occur in specific geometries such as linear shear in the absence of gravity, slow inclined plane flows and, recently, flows in split-bottom Couette geometries. The wide shear regions in these systems should be amenable to a continuum description, and the theoretical challenge lies in finding constitutive relations between the internal stresses and the flow field. We propose a set of testable constitutive assumptions, including rate-independence, and investigate the additional restrictions on the constitutive relations imposed by the flow geometries. The wide shear layers in the highly symmetric linear shear and inclined plane flows are consistent with the simple constitutive assumption that, in analogy with solid friction, the effective-friction coefficient (ratio between shear and normal stresses) is a constant. However, this standard picture of granular flows is shown to be inconsistent with flows in the less symmetric split-bottom geometry - here the effective friction coefficient must vary throughout the shear zone, or else the shear zone localizes. We suggest that a subtle dependence of the effective-friction coefficient on the orientation of the sliding layers with respect to the bulk force is crucial for the understanding of slow granular flows.

description: It has been known for some time that the dynamics of k coincident D-branes in string theory is described effectively by U(k) Yang-Mills theory at low energy. While these configurations appear as classical solutions in matrix models, it was not clear whether it is possible to realize the k =/= 1 case as the true vacuum. The massive Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons matrix model has classical solutions corresponding to all the representations of the SU(2) algebra, and provides an opportunity to address the above issue on a firm ground. We investigate the phase structure of the model, and find in particular that there exists a parameter region where O(N) copies of the spin-1/2 representation appear as the true vacuum, thus realizing a nontrivial gauge group dynamically. Such configurations are analogous to the ones that are interpreted in the BMN matrix model as coinciding transverse 5-branes in M-theory.

description: We report spectra obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope in the 5 to 35 micron range of HD 233517, an evolved K2 III giant with circumstellar dust. At wavelengths longer than 13 microns, the flux is a smooth continuum that varies approximately as frequency to the -5/3 power. For wavelengths shorter than 13 microns, although the star is oxygen-rich, PAH features produced by carbon-rich species at 6.3 microns, 8.2 microns, 11.3 microns and 12.7 microns are detected along with likely broad silicate emission near 20 microns. These results can be explained if there is a passive, flared disk orbiting HD 233517. Our data support the hypothesis that organic molecules in orbiting disks may be synthesized in situ as well as being incorporated from the interstellar medium.

description: An expansion of energy characteristics of wide thin slab of thickness L in power of 1/L is constructed using the free-electron approximation and the model of a potential well of finite depth. Accuracy of results in each order of the expansion is analyzed. Size dependences of the work function and electronic elastic force for Au and Na slabs are calculated. It is concluded that the work function of low-dimensional metal structure is always smaller that of semi-infinite metal sample. A mechanism for the Coulomb instability of charged metal clusters, different from Rayleigh's one, is discussed. The two-component model of a metallic cluster yields the different critical sizes depending on a kind of charging particles (electrons or ions). For the cuboid clusters, the electronic spectrum quantization is taken into account. The calculated critical sizes of Ag_{N}^{2-} and Au_{N}^{3-} clusters are in a good agreement with experimental data. A qualitative explanation is suggested for the Coulomb explosion of positively charged Na_{\N}^{n+} clusters at 3

description: We present the discovery of the common proper motion M9 + L0 binary DENIS J220002.05-303832.9AB, identified serendipitously with the SpeX near infrared imager/spectrograph. Spectral types are derived from resolved near infrared spectroscopy of the well-separated (1"09+/-0"06) components and comparison to equivalent data for M and L dwarf spectral standards. Physical association is deduced from the angular proximity of the sources, their common proper motion and their similar spectrophotometric distances (35+/-2 pc). The estimated distance of this pair implies a projected separation of 38+/-3 AU, wider than typical separations for other M dwarf/L dwarf binaries, but consistent with the maximum separation/total system mass trend previously identified by Burgasser et al. (2003). We discuss the DENIS 2200-3038AB system in context with other low mass binaries, and its role in studying dust formation processes and activity trends across the transition between the M and L dwarf spectral classes.

description: Many commercial wineries produce a dual product; commercial wine and wine tourism. Growth of wine tourism throughout the US has been phenomenal. In contrast to the price of wine, which is reflected in the market, the demand for wine tourism can be only ascertained with a shadow price for winery visitation. The demand for wine tourism visits for Canyon County in southern Idaho was estimated using the Travel Cost Method. The value of wine tourism in Canyon County was estimated to be $5.40 per person per trip and trip demand was highly inelastic at 0.5. Elasticities of other trip demand function variables were estimated and analyzed, with a view to informing the marketing of Idaho's emerging wine tourism industry.

description: Given a field $K$ and $n > 1$, we say that a polynomial $f \in K[x]$ has newly reducible $n$th iterate over $K$ if $f^{n-1}$ is irreducible over $K$, but $f^n$ is not (here $f^i$ denotes the $i$th iterate of $f$). We pose the problem of characterizing, for given $d,n > 1$, fields $K$ such that there exists $f \in K[x]$ of degree $d$ with newly reducible $n$th iterate, and the similar problem for fields admitting infinitely many such $f$. We give results in the cases $(d,n) \in \{(2,2), (2,3), (3,2), (4,2)\}$ as well as for $(d,2)$ when $d \equiv 2 \bmod{4}$. In particular, we show that for all these $(d,n)$ pairs, there are infinitely many monic $f \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ of degree $d$ with newly reducible $n$th iterate over $\mathbb{Q}$. Curiously, the minimal polynomial $x^2 - x - 1$ of the golden ratio is one example of $f \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ with newly reducible third iterate; very few other examples have small coefficients. Our investigations prompt a number of conjectures and open questions.
