description: A new picture of the Josephson effect is devised. The radio-frequency (RF) signal, observed in a Josephson junction, is shown to stem from bound electrons, tunneling periodically through the insulating film. This holds also for the microwave mediated tunneling. The Josephson effect is found to be conditioned by the same prerequisite worked out previously for persistent currents, thermal equilibrium and occurence of superconductivity. The observed negative resistance behaviour is shown to originate from the interplay between normal and superconducting currents.

description: A duty to vote may be interpreted narrowly as no more than an obligation to cast one’s ballot, supporting a party or candidate in one’s own interest exclusively or, if one so pleases, with some regard for the community as a whole. Alternatively, a duty to vote may be interpreted broadly as including an obligation to vote for the party or candidate seen as best for society as a whole. This essay is a defence of the narrower, less stringent, duty, with no obligation about whom to vote for except in so far as viciousness or outright injustice is expected from the election of a party or candidates for office.

description: We study a type Ia supernova explosion using three-dimensional numerical simulations based on reactive fluid dynamics. We consider a delayed-detonation model that assumes a deflagration-to-detonation transition. In contrast to the pure deflagration model, the delayed-detonation model releases enough energy to account for a healthy explosion, and does not leave carbon, oxygen, and intermediate-mass elements in central parts of a white dwarf. This removes the key disagreement between simulations and observations, and makes a delayed detonation the mostly likely mechanism for type Ia supernovae.

description: Xenoglossa eriocarpi (Cockerell, 1898)
[Holotype: USNM; ♀ Fillmore Cañon about 1,646 mts elev., Organ Mountains, New Mexico, USA; September 1, 1898]
Xenoglossa eriocarpi is distributed throughout the central and northern regions of Mexico to the southern USA (LaBerge 2001). LaBerge (2001) reported this species in Sierra San Pedro Mártir, BC. We reviewed the six specimens (4 males, 2 females) examined by LaBerge (2001) collected in San Pedro, La Paz, BCS in October 1941. The CARCIB team collected specimens from two localities in the Magdalena Plains in October 2016 (1 ♀), and May, June, and October 2017 (6 ♀, 1 ♂). This species specializes on pollen from various genera in the family Asteraceae (LaBerge 2001). See fig. 115.

description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a pathogenic gram-negative bacterium, resistant to antibiotics, that proliferates in immunologically compromised individuals leading to lethal sepsis. The toxic principle in the outer cell membrane is a lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and a vaccine that combines LPS from several strains of the organism shows therapeutic promise. The lipid component (Lipid A) obtained from LPS comprises a C-1 phosphorylated beta-(1→6)-linked glucosamine disaccharide extensively O- and N-acylated by long-chain fatty acyl groups. This report describes the identification by GC-FID and CG-MS these acyl groups in the lipid A of seven immunotypes of P. aeruginosa (Fisher classification) from a proposed heptavalent LPS vaccine prepared from whole cells by extraction with trichloroacetic acid (Boivin procedure). Acyl groups identified were decanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, 2-hydroxydecanoic acid, and 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid as anticipated from literature reports, along with saturated fatty acids hexanoic acid, octanoic acid, nonanoic acid, undecanoic acid, tetradecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, octadecanoic acid, tetracosanoic acid, eicosanoic acid, and docosanoic acid. In addition, branched and unsaturated fatty acids 14-methylpentadecanoic acid, 9-octadecenoic acid (Z), 12-octadecadienoic acid (Z,Z), and 9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid (Z,Z,Z) were also detected. ESI-MS analysis of the original free lipid A samples and GC-MS analysis of acyl groups isolated from the partition of the Boivin LPS between phenol and water showed that the acyl groups other than decanoic acid, dodecanoic acid, 2-hydroxydecanoic acid, and 3-hydroxydodecanoic acid identified are not associated with the free lipid A structure and appear to be the result of the cell culture process and subsequent trichloroacetic acid extraction (Boivin procedure) of LPS from the cell culture medium.

description: It is well known that the ordinary least squares (OLS) estimates in the regression model are efficient when the disturbances have mean zero, constant variance and are uncorrelated. In problems concerning time series, it is often the case that the disturbances are, in fact, correlated. It is known that OLS may not be optimal in this context. We have proved that the relative efficiency of the variance of the generalized least squares (GLS) to that of OLS is invariant to scaling and shifting of the design vectors. We have derived explicit formulas for the relative efficiencies of the GLS estimator to that of OLS estimator in some important special cases. We consider both linear and quadratic design vectors in the presence of AR(1) disturbances with and without an intercept term included in the design and use these formulas to show some asymptotic properties of the estimators. Additionally, using computer simulations, we consider the robustness of various estimators, including estimated generalized least squares. We found that if the disturbance structure is autoregressive and the dependent variable is nonstochastic and linear or quadratic, the OLS performs nearly as well as its competitors. For other forms of the dependent variable, we have developed rules of thumb to guide practitioners in their choice of estimators.
title: Damage to DNA induced by low energy electrons and photons: mechanisms and analysis at the molecular level
Creators: name: Smialek, Malgorzata
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2008

description: In this thesis studies of interactions of both VUV light and low energy (below 20 eV) electrons with dry DNA films and DNA samples in aqueous solutions are reported. The damage induced by such radiation is quantified by monitoring both loss of supercoiled DNA and formation of single and double strand breaks using agarose gel electrophoresis. In addition VUV spectra of DNA were recorded and, for the first time, spectral signatures of both the structural water in DNA and individual contributions of separate DNA nucleotides were resolved. Such investigations required the assembly and calibration of new apparatus. New protocols for the synthesis and purification of high quality samples of plasmid DNA were also developed. Alternative methods for analysis of DNA damage were explored, such as the atomic force microscopy technique, which allows for lesion imaging, and a new method, based on the ELISA assay was developed for labelling damage sites. VUV irradiation experiments revealed enhanced damage upon irradiation with 170 nm photons that was shown, via VUV absorption experiments, to be due to the excitation of structural water leading to increased hydroxyl (OH) radical formation causing chemical damage to the plasmid DNA. In agreement with earlier work both single (SSBs) and double (DSBs) strand breaks were induced during by electron irradiation at 4.5 eV, 5 eV and 10 eV but only SSB were observed for electron irradiation at 1 eV.

description: Accurate and efficient models for rainfall runoff (RR) simulations are crucial for flood risk management. Most rainfall models in use today are process-driven; i.e. they solve either simplified empirical formulas or some variation of the St. Venant (shallow water) equations. With the development of machine-learning techniques, we may now be able to emulate rainfall models using, for example, neural networks. In this study, a data-driven RR model using a sequence-to-sequence Long-short-Term-Memory (LSTM) network was constructed. The model was tested for a watershed in Houston, TX, known for severe flood events. The LSTM network's capability in learning long-term dependencies between the input and output of the network allowed modeling RR with high resolution in time (15 minutes). Using 10-years precipitation from 153 rainfall gages and river channel discharge data (more than 5.3 million data points), and by designing several numerical tests the developed model performance in predicting river discharge was tested. The model results were also compared with the output of a process-driven model Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA). Moreover, physical consistency of the LSTM model was explored. The model results showed that the LSTM model was able to efficiently predict discharge and achieve good model performance. When compared to GSSHA, the data-driven model was more efficient and robust in terms of prediction and calibration. Interestingly, the performance of the LSTM model improved (test Nash-Sutcliffe model efficiency from 0.666 to 0.942) when a selected subset of rainfall gages based on the model performance, were used as input instead of all rainfall gages.

In this paper, a scenario, in which a contracting phase is followed by an inflationary phase, is constructed. We calculate the perturbation spectrum and show that this scenario can provide a reasonable explanation for lower CMB anisotropies on large angular scales.

 Type Species. Opatrum hirtulum Baudi di Selve, 1876, by original designation.
 Diagnosis. Clypeus deeply emarginate; eyes not completely divided; third antennomere short (less than two times as long as second); pronotal disc evenly convex; elytral striae with large foveate punctures; elytral intervals carinate, with one row of tubercles; wings fully developed; abdominal ventrites flat; aedeagus simple.
 The genus belongs to the tribe Opatrini, as shown by the excised clypeus, antennae without complex sensoria, labrum subquadrate with tormal arms mesally bent into long extensions (Fig. 9), laciniae uncinate, protrochanters of opatrinoid type sensu Iwan (2004), protibiae fossorial (although not strongly so) (Fig. 6), and ovipositor shortened (Fig. 14). It belongs to the subtribe Opatrina as evidenced by a female tract without a bursa copulatrix, with a single tubular spermatheca attached to the anterior end of the vagina (Fig. 14), and simple (not tripartite) aedeagus. The aedeagus (Figs. 12, 13) appears to have a normal apical piece of joined parameres as in most Tenebrionidae, but these are actually pseudoparameres sensu Iwan (2004), consisting of fused original parameres plus the laciniae (clavae).
 Scleropatroides can be separated from the other Australian Opatrini by using the key to the genera of Opatrina in Matthews and Bouchard (2008), where it appears under the erroneous name Mesomorphus darwini (Blackburn). The latter is in fact a valid species of Mesomorphus Miedel, 1880, as shown by Ferrer (2008).

Bound entanglement provides convertibility of pure entangled states

description: I show that two distant parties can transform pure entangled states to arbitrary pure states by stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC) at the single copy level, if they share bound entangled states. This is the effect of bound entanglement since this entanglement processing is impossible by SLOCC alone. Similar effect of bound entanglement occurs in three qubits where two incomparable entangled states of GHZ and W can be inter-converted. In general multipartite settings composed by $N$ distant parties, all $N$-partite pure entangled states are inter-convertible by SLOCC with the assistance of bound entangled states with positive partial transpose.

description: Data-driven methods for physics-based character control using reinforcement learning have been successfully applied to generate high-quality motions. However, existing approaches typically rely on Gaussian distributions to represent the action policy, which can prematurely commit to suboptimal actions when solving high-dimensional continuous control problems for highly-articulated characters. In this paper, to improve the learning performance of physics-based character controllers, we propose a framework that considers a particle-based action policy as a substitute for Gaussian policies. We exploit particle filtering to dynamically explore and discretize the action space, and track the posterior policy represented as a mixture distribution. The resulting policy can replace the unimodal Gaussian policy which has been the staple for character control problems, without changing the underlying model architecture of the reinforcement learning algorithm used to perform policy optimization. We demonstrate the applicability of our approach on various motion capture imitation tasks. Baselines using our particle-based policies achieve better imitation performance and speed of convergence as compared to corresponding implementations using Gaussians, and are more robust to external perturbations during character control.

description: We discuss the giant-pulse phenomenon exhibited by pulsars and the distances to which giant pulses might be detected from extragalactic pulsars. We describe the conditions under which a single-pulse search is more sensitive than a standard periodicity search. We find that, for certain pulse-amplitude distribution power laws and time series lengths, single-pulse searches can be superior. We present the results of searches toward several extragalactic targets, including M33, the LMC (PSR B0540-69) and several other galaxies. While we have not conclusively detected giant pulses from any of these targets, these searches illustrate the methodology of, issues related to and difficulties in these types of searches.

Entropic singularities give rise to quantum transmission

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When can noiseless quantum information be sent across noisy quantum devices? And at what maximum rate? These questions lie at the heart of quantum technology, but remain unanswered because of non-additivity -- a fundamental synergy which allows quantum devices (aka quantum channels) to send more information than expected. Previously, non-additivity was known to occur in very noisy channels with coherent information much smaller than that of a perfect channel; but, our work shows non-additivity in a simple low-noise channel. Our results extend even further. We prove a general theorem concerning positivity of a channel's coherent information. A corollary of this theorem gives a simple dimensional test for a channel's capacity. Applying this corollary solves an open problem by characterizing all qubit channels whose complement has non-zero capacity. Another application shows a wide class of zero quantum capacity qubit channels can assist an incomplete erasure channel in sending quantum information. These results arise from introducing and linking logarithmic singularities in the von-Neumann entropy with quantum transmission: changes in entropy caused by this singularity are a mechanism responsible for both positivity and non-additivity of the coherent information. Analysis of such singularities may be useful in other physics problems.

Music and emotion: The effects of lyrics and familiarity on emotional responses to music
Creators: name: Ali, Syed Omar
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study examined the effects of music with and without lyrics on a range of emotional responses. The first part of this study (Experiments 1--4) looked at whether there were any differences between affective responses to instrumental music and those to the same music with lyrics, across the emotional domains specified in each of the four quadrants (happy, sad, calm, and angry) of the circumplex theory of emotion (e.g., Larsen & Diener, 1992). Additionally, this study looked at which component had a greater influence on affective responses when the melodies and lyrics of these musical excerpts were mismatched with respect to emotion. Also of interest was whether or not such affective responses transferred to non-musical stimuli, such as pictures of commonly used words, which were presented with the music. The results showed that (1) lyrics detracted from emotional responses to happy and calm music (positive emotions), but enhanced emotional responses to sad and angry music (negative emotions); (2) the melody of music was more dominant than its lyrics in eliciting emotional responses; (3) these effects, though somewhat dampened, remained the same through transference to non-musical stimuli; (4) women rated the emotion elicited by the music without lyrics as more intense than that elicited by the same music with lyrics, whereas there was no difference for men; and (5) participants tended to rate positive emotions higher than negative emotions. The second part of this study (Experiments 5--6) examined whether or not familiarity with instrumental music affected liking (or preference) of it (e.g., Zajonc, 1968), and whether such familiarity affected emotional responses as well. Finally, this study examined whether such responses transferred to pictures of commonly used words that the music happened to be paired with, and furthermore whether the familiarity of the pictures themselves influenced these responses. This study replicated previous findings (e.g., Peretz, Gaudreau, & Bonnel, 1998) in which 'liking' (or preference) for music was influenced by the familiarity of the music, and also showed that, unlike in some studies (e.g., Hargreaves, 1984), this effect emerged even within a single session (cf., Peretz, et al., 1998). However, this study found that the intensity of the various emotions was not influenced by the familiarity of either the music or the pictures, suggesting that the observed increased 'liking' was due to more of a simple cognitive decision than to one with emotional correlates.

description: The ground states of the spin-$ S $ antiferromagnetic chain $H_\textrm{AF}$ with a projection-based interaction and the spin-$ 1/2$ XXZ-chain $ H_\textrm{XXZ} $ at anisotropy parameter $Δ=\cosh(λ) $ share a common loop representation in terms of a two-dimensional functional integral which is similar to the classical planar $Q$-state Potts model at $ \sqrt Q= 2S+1 =2\cosh(λ)$. The multifaceted relation is used here to directly relate the distinct forms of translation symmetry breaking which are manifested in the ground states of these two models: dimerization for $H_\textrm{AF}$ at all $S> 1/2$, and Néel order for $ H_\textrm{XXZ} $ at $λ>0$. The results presented include: i) a translation to the above quantum spin systems of the results which were recently proven by Duminil-Copin-Li-Manolescu for a broad class of two-dimensional random-cluster models, and ii) a short proof of the symmetry breaking in a manner similar to the recent structural proof by Ray-Spinka of the discontinuity of the phase transition for $Q>4$. Altogether, the quantum manifestation of the change between $Q=4$ and $Q>4$ is a transition from a gapless ground state to a pair of gapped and extensively distinct ground states.

description: Revealing the nature of dark matter is one of the most interesting tasks in astrophysics. Measuring the distribution of recoil angles is said to be one of the most reliable methods to detect a positive signature of dark matter. We focused on measurements via spin-dependent interactions, and studied the feasibility with carbon tetrafluoride($\rm CF_4$) gas, while taking into account the performance of an existing three-dimensional tracking detector. We consequently found that it is highly possible to detect a positive signature of dark matter via spin-dependent interactions.

Trading Dynamics with Adverse Selection and Search: Market Freeze, Intervention and Recovery

description: We study the trading dynamics in an asset market where the quality of assets is private information of the owner and finding a counterparty takes time. When trading of a financial asset ceases in equilibrium as a response to an adverse shock to asset quality, a large player can resurrect the market by purchasing bad assets which involves financial losses. The equilibrium response to such a policy is intricate as it creates an announcement effect: a mere announcement of intervening at a later point in time can cause markets to function again. This effect leads to a gradual recovery in trading volume, with asset prices converging non-monotonically to their normal values. The optimal policy is to intervene immediately at a minimal scale when markets are deemed important and losses are small. As losses increase and the importance of the market declines, the optimal intervention is delayed and it can be desirable to rely more on the announcement effect by increasing the size of the intervention. Search frictions are important for all these results. They compound adverse selection, making a market more fragile with respect to a classic lemons problem. They dampen the announcement effect and cause the optimal policy to be more aggressive, leading to an earlier intervention at a larger scale.
Music and emotion: The effects of lyrics and familiarity on emotional responses to music

description: This study examined the effects of music with and without lyrics on a range of emotional responses. The first part of this study (Experiments 1--4) looked at whether there were any differences between affective responses to instrumental music and those to the same music with lyrics, across the emotional domains specified in each of the four quadrants (happy, sad, calm, and angry) of the circumplex theory of emotion (e.g., Larsen & Diener, 1992). Additionally, this study looked at which component had a greater influence on affective responses when the melodies and lyrics of these musical excerpts were mismatched with respect to emotion. Also of interest was whether or not such affective responses transferred to non-musical stimuli, such as pictures of commonly used words, which were presented with the music. The results showed that (1) lyrics detracted from emotional responses to happy and calm music (positive emotions), but enhanced emotional responses to sad and angry music (negative emotions); (2) the melody of music was more dominant than its lyrics in eliciting emotional responses; (3) these effects, though somewhat dampened, remained the same through transference to non-musical stimuli; (4) women rated the emotion elicited by the music without lyrics as more intense than that elicited by the same music with lyrics, whereas there was no difference for men; and (5) participants tended to rate positive emotions higher than negative emotions. The second part of this study (Experiments 5--6) examined whether or not familiarity with instrumental music affected liking (or preference) of it (e.g., Zajonc, 1968), and whether such familiarity affected emotional responses as well. Finally, this study examined whether such responses transferred to pictures of commonly used words that the music happened to be paired with, and furthermore whether the familiarity of the pictures themselves influenced these responses. This study replicated previous findings (e.g., Peretz, Gaudreau, & Bonnel, 1998) in which 'liking' (or preference) for music was influenced by the familiarity of the music, and also showed that, unlike in some studies (e.g., Hargreaves, 1984), this effect emerged even within a single session (cf., Peretz, et al., 1998). However, this study found that the intensity of the various emotions was not influenced by the familiarity of either the music or the pictures, suggesting that the observed increased 'liking' was due to more of a simple cognitive decision than to one with emotional correlates.

description: Inference using difference-in-differences with clustered data requires care. Previous research has shown that, when there are few treated clusters, t tests based on cluster- robust variance estimators (CRVEs) severely over-reject, different variants of the wild cluster bootstrap can either over-reject or under-reject dramatically, and procedures based on randomization inference show promise. We study two randomization inference (RI) procedures. A procedure based on estimated coeffcients, which is essentially the one proposed by Conley and Taber (2011), has excellent power but may not perform well when the treated clusters are atypical. We therefore propose a new RI procedure based on t statistics. It typically performs better under the null, except when there is just one treated cluster, but at the cost of some power loss. Two empirical examples demonstrate that alternative procedures can yield dramatically different inferences.
A Utilitarian Measure of Economic Growth

description: A utilitarian measure of economic growth combines changes in the distribution of income with changes in real income per person to show how much better off people are becoming over time. It is the rate of growth of the dollar value of average utility of income. As such , it is seen differently by people with different utility of income functions. A growth rate in U.S. household income of 0.63% per year as ordinarily measured disappears altogether - is transformed into a decline of 0.086% per year - when the utility of income function is sufficiently concave. Strengths, weaknesses and implicit assumptions of the utilitarian measure are discussed.

description: Only 3% hole doping by Li is sufficient to suppress the long-range 3-dimensional (3D) antiferromagnetic order in La2CuO4. The spin dynamics of such a 2D spin liquid state at T << J was investigated with measurements of the dynamic magnetic structure factor S(omega,q), using cold neutron spectroscopy, for single crystalline La2Cu0.94Li0.06O4. S(omega,q) peaks sharply at (pi,pi) and crosses over around 50K from omega/T scaling to a novel low temperature regime characterized by a constant energy scale. The possible connection to a crossover from the quantum critical to the quantum disordered regime of the 2D antiferromagnetic spin liquid is discussed.

description: We study the role of distance and time in statistically explaining price dispersion across 32 Swedish towns for 19 commodities from 1732 to 1914. The resulting large number of relative prices (502,689) allows precise estimation of distance and time effects, and their interaction. We find an effect of distance that declines significantly over time, beginning in the 18th century, well before the arrival of canals, the telegraph, or the railway.

description: We develop relativistic short-range exchange energy functionals for four-component relativistic range-separated density-functional theory using a Dirac-Coulomb Hamiltonian in the no-pair approximation. We show how to improve the short-range local-density approximation exchange functional for large range-separation parameters by using the on-top exchange pair density as a new variable. We also develop a relativistic short-range generalized-gradient approximation exchange functional which further increases the accuracy for small range-separation parameters. Tests on the helium, beryllium, neon, and argon isoelectronic series up to high nuclear charges show that this latter functional gives exchange energies with a maximal relative percentage error of 3 %. The development of this exchange functional represents a step forward for the application of four-component relativistic range-separated density-functional theory to chemical compounds with heavy elements.
