description: Symmetry plays an important role in the field of quantum mechanics. In this paper, we consider a subclass of symmetric quantum states in the multipartite system $N^{\otimes d}$, namely, the completely symmetric states, which are invariant under any index permutation. It was conjectured by L. Qian and D. Chu [arXiv:1810.03125 [quant-ph]] that the completely symmetric states are separable if and only if it is a convex combination of symmetric pure product states. In this paper, we proved that this conjecture is true for both bipartite and multipartite cases. And we proved the completely symmetric state $ρ$ is separable if its rank is at most $5$ or $N+1$. For the states of rank $6$ or $N+2$, they are separable if and only if their range contains a product vector. We apply our results to a few widely useful states in quantum information, such as symmetric states, edge states, extreme states, and nonnegative states. We also study the relation of CS states to Hankel and Toeplitz matrices.

description: A flat Fiedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) multi-scalar field cosmology is studied with a particular potential of the form $ \rm V(ϕ,σ)=V_0 e^{-λ_1 ϕ-λ_2 σ}$, which emerges as a relation between the time derivatives of the scalars field momenta. Classically, by employing the Hamiltonian formalism of two scalar fields $\rm(ϕ,σ)$ with standard kinetic energy, exact solutions are found for the Einstein-Klein-Gordon (EKG) system for different scenarios specified by the parameter $\rmλ^2=λ_1^2+λ_2^2$, as well as the e-folding function $\rm N_{e}$ which is also computed. For the quantum scheme of this model, the corresponding Wheeler-DeWitt (WDW) equation is solved by applying an appropriate change of variables.

description: We present a new model for computing consistently the line and continuum emission from galaxies, based on a combination of recent population synthesis and photoionization codes. We use effective parameters to describe the HII regions and the diffuse gas ionized by single stellar generations in a galaxy [...]. We calibrate the nebular properties of our model using the observed [OIII]/Hbeta, [OII]/[OIII], [SII]/Halpha, and [NII]/[SII] ratios of a representative sample of nearby spiral and irregular, starburst, and HII galaxies. To compute whole (line plus continuum) spectral energy distributions, we include the absorption by dust in the neutral interstellar medium (ISM) using a recent simple prescription, which is consistent with observations of nearby starburst galaxies. Our model enables us to interpret quantitatively the observed optical spectra of galaxies in terms of stars, gas, and dust parameters. We find that the range of ionized-gas properties spanned by nearby galaxies implies factors of 3.5 and 14 variations in the Halpha and [OII] luminosities produced per unit star formation rate (SFR). When accounting for stellar Halpha absorption and absorption by dust in the neutral ISM, the actual uncertainties in SFR estimates based on the emergent Halpha and [OII] luminosities are as high as several decades. We derive new estimators of the SFR, the gas-phase oxygen abundance, and the effective absorption optical depth of the dust in galaxies. We show that, with the help of other lines such as [OII], Hbeta, [OIII], [NII], or [SII], the uncertainties in SFR estimates based on Halpha can be reduced to a factor of only 2-3, even if the Halpha line is blended with the adjacent [NII] lines. Without Halpha, however, the SFR is difficult to estimate from the [OII], Hbeta, and [OIII] lines. (abridged)

description: We have constructed an all-sky catalog of optical AGNs with $z < 0.09$, based on optical spectroscopy, from the parent sample of galaxies in the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS), a near-complete census of the nearby universe. Our catalog consists of 1929 broad line AGNs, and 6562 narrow line AGNs which satisfy the \citet{Kauffmann03} criteria, of which 3607 also satisfy the \citet{Kewley01} criteria. We also report emission line widths, fluxes, flux errors, and signal-to-noise ratios of all the galaxies in our spectroscopic sample, allowing users to customize the selection criteria. Although we uniformly processed the spectra of galaxies from a homogeneous parent sample, inhomogeneities persist due to the differences in the quality of the obtained spectra, taken with different instruments, and the unavailability of spectra for $\sim$20\% of the galaxies. We quantify how the differences in spectral quality affect not only the AGN detection rates but also broad line to narrow line AGN ratios. We find that the inhomogeneities primarily stem from the continuum signal-to-noise (S/N) in the spectra near the emission lines of interest. We fit for the AGN fraction as a function of continuum S/N and assign AGN likelihoods to galaxies which were not identified as AGNs using the available spectra. This correction results in a catalog suitable for statistical studies. This work also paves the way for a truly homogeneous and complete nearby AGN catalog by identifying galaxies whose AGN status needs to be verified with higher quality spectra, quantifying the spectral quality necessary to do so.

description: Bragg diffraction of atoms by light waves has been used to create high momentum components in a Bose-Einstein condensate. Collisions between atoms from two distinct momentum wavepackets cause elastic scattering that can remove a significant fraction of atoms from the wavepackets and cause the formation of a spherical shell of scattered atoms. We develop a slowly varying envelope technique that includes the effects of this loss on the condensate dynamics described by the Gross-Pitaevski equation. Three-dimensional numerical calculations are presented for two experimental situations: passage of a moving daughter condensate through a non-moving parent condensate, and four-wave mixing of matter waves.

description: Background: Patients with acute peripheral arterial occlusion (aPAO) are candidates for operative thrombectomy, bypass, or catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) using a plasminogen activator. Human plasma-derived plasmin may offer another CDT option. Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of two intrathrombus delivery methods and two doses of plasmin compared with recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) and placebo in patients with aPAO. Patients/methods: This was a phase 2, randomized, open-label study of intra-arterial CDT of plasmin in patients with aPAO. The study used infusion catheters with or without balloon occlusion (BOC) to evaluate 150 mg plasmin (2 and 5 h post-infusion) and 250 mg plasmin (5 h post-infusion). The efficacy of plasmin, rtPA and placebo was assessed. Results: One hundred and seventy-four subjects were enrolled. Overall, the thrombolytic efficacy (>50% thrombolysis) was 59% (58/99) for 150 mg plasmin without BOC, which is comparable to 89% (8/9) for rtPA without BOC (p = 0.149) and 40% (2/5) for placebo control (p = 0.648). The thrombolytic efficacy was 33% of the 250 mg plasmin group. There was no difference (p > 0.999) in thrombolytic efficacy with BOC (59%, 58/99) or without BOC (59%, 17/29). Plasmin-treated groups experienced treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) at 71% (76/107) without BOC and 63% (24/38) with BOC; 78% (7/9) of the rtPA-treated group and 89% (8/9) of the placebo group had TEAEs. Serious AEs (SAEs) occurred in 29% (31/107) of the 150 mg plasmin group without BOC and 24% (9/38) with BOC. No SAEs occurred in the 250 mg plasmin group. Conclusions: Plasmin demonstrated less bleeding during catheter-directed administration at 150 mg and 250 mg doses compared to rtPA. BOC utilization did not improve efficacy. CDT with plasmin has a potential thrombolytic benefit in patients presenting with aPAO. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01222117 Trial registration:ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT01222117.

description: In a recent letter Marinari et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 1698 (1998)] introduced a new method to study spin glass transitions and argued that by probing replica symmetry (RS) as opposed to time reversal symmetry (TRS), their method unambiguously shows that replica symmetry breaking (RSB) occurs in short-range spin glasses. In this comment we show that while the new method is indeed useful for studying transitions in systems where TRS is absent (such as the p-spin model studied by them), the conclusion that it shows the existence of RSB in short-range spin glasses is wrong.

description: In a power system, the load demand considers two components such as the real power (P) because of resistive elements, and the reactive power (Q) because inductive or capacitive elements. This paper presents a graphical representation of the electric power demand based on the topological properties of the Julia Sets, with the purpose of observing the different graphic patterns and relationship with the hourly load consumptions. An algorithm that iterates complex numbers related to power is used to represent each fractal diagram of the load demand. The results show some representative patterns related to each value of the power consumption and similar behaviour in the fractal diagrams, which allows to understand consumption behaviours from the different hours of the day. This study allows to make a relation among the different consumptions of the day to create relationships that lead to the prediction of different behaviour patterns of the curves.

Special relativistic spherically symmetric Lagrangean hydrodynamics from General Relativity

description: We re-derive hydrodynamical equations in General Relativity (GR) in the comoving reference frame for spherical symmetry and obtain from them the well-known but not explicitly derived Lagrangean equations in Special Relativity (SR), that is, for the case of weak gravitational fields. Explicit formulae are presented which relate General Relativistic independent variables, Lagrangean mass coordinate and variables in the lab-frame. Conversion of one set of variables into another requires knowing the solution to the set of equations. These formulae allow one to translate the solution to the exact set in General Relativity into the form in which Special Relativistic solutions are usually obtained. This is applicable for comparison of SR-numerical simulations of collapses, GRBs and Supernovae explosions with more precise GR-simulations.

Universality and nonmonotonic finite-size effects above the upper critical dimension

description: We analyze universal and nonuniversal finite-size effects of lattice systems in a $L^d$ geometry above the upper critical dimension d = 4 within the O(n) symmetric $ϕ^4$ lattice theory. On the basis of exact results for $n \to\infty$ and one-loop results for n = 1 we identify significant lattice effects that cannot be explained by the $ϕ^4$ continuum theory. Our analysis resolves longstanding discrepancies between earlier asymptotic theories and Monte Carlo (MC) data for the five-dimensional Ising model of small size. We predict a {\it nonmonotonic} L dependence of the scaled susceptibility $χL^{-d/2}$ at $T_c$ with a weak maximum that has not yet been detected by MC data.

description: Background: Recently, a paper was published containing the long-term results of the first ‘modern’ double rod instrumentation, the Cotrel-Debousset (CD) instrumentation. Results showed an unexpected high rate of reoperation of nearly 50% due to late infections or chronic back pain occurring after surgery. Further research into the long-term complications of spinal fusion surgery in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis ‘AIS’ patients is necessary with special attention to more recent instrumentations. Materials and Methods: The previous systematic review on long-term complications, as they might develop over a lifetime, was published in 2008. The first author conducted a Pub Med search to locate additional studies related to long term outcomes of AIS surgical complications published after August 2008. Target publications were (1) prospective or retrospective papers on complications in spinal fusion surgery for AIS with a minimum follow-up of 10 years and (2) prospective or retrospective papers on reoperation rates in spinal fusion surgery for AIS with a minimum follow-up of 10 years. Results: No paper with the topic on complications and a long-term follow-up of at least 10 years was found. Two papers were found with the topic of reoperation rates and a long-term follow-up of at least 10 years. Reoperation rates were reported between 12.9% and 47.5%. Discussion: Since there is no evidence indicating surgical correction in patients with AIS and post-surgical complications are estimated around 50% over a lifetime, claims for a medical indication of AIS surgery should not be made except in very extreme curvatures. In the relatively benign population of AIS patients, according to the findings within this review, it may be concluded that the long-term outcome of surgery for AIS is worse than the long-term consequences of the condition itself. Conclusions: A medical indication for AIS spinal fusion surgery does not exist, except in extreme cases. The rate of complications of spinal fusion surgery appears to increase with time. The risk/reward relationship of spinal fusion surgery is unfavorable for the AIS patient, except in rare cases. There is no evidence that spinal fusion surgery improves quality of life for AIS patients vs. natural history. The risks and long-term costs, in terms of pain and suffering, after spinal fusion surgery exceeds what is reasonable for AIS patients, putting the common practice of surgery in question, except in extreme cases.

description: With nearly 30 years in sustainability, the shift in ESG focus is clear: it's no longer just risk management but integral to value creation for shareholders and society. ESG impacts decisions, particularly in energy companies, where decarbonization and ROI are key. However, there's a need for more confidence in non-financial data, with audit committees focusing on its accuracy and reliability. Finance professionals must bring rigor to ESG reporting. The Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) has helped elevate ESG’s importance, but challenges remain in clearly linking ESG to business strategy and demonstrating its value.

description: Background: Cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) is a transmembrane protein expressed in dopaminergic reward pathways in the brain, including the nucleus accumbens (NAc). The GG genotype of a common single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) within CD38, rs3796863, is associated with increased social reward. Objective: Examine whether CD38 rs3796863 and Cd38 knockout (KO) are associated with reward-related neural and behavioral phenotypes. Methods: Data from four independent human studies were used to test whether rs3796863 genotype is associated with: (1) intravenous alcohol self-administration (n = 64, 30 females), (2) alcohol-stimulated dopamine (DA) release measured using 11C-raclopride positron emission tomography (n = 22 men), (3) ventral striatum (VS) response to positive feedback measured using a card guessing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) paradigm (n = 531, 276 females), and (4) resting state functional connectivity (rsfc) of the VS (n = 51, 26 females). In a fifth study, we used a mouse model to examine whether cd38 knockout influences stimulated DA release in the NAc core and dorsal striatum using fast-scanning cyclic voltammetry. Results: Relative to T allele carriers, G homozygotes at rs3796863 within CD38 were characterized by greater alcohol self-administration, alcohol-stimulated dopamine release, VS response to positive feedback, and rsfc between the VS and anterior cingulate cortex. High-frequency stimulation reduced DA release among Cd38 KO mice had reduced dopamine release in the NAc. Conclusion: Converging evidence suggests that CD38 rs3796863 genotype may increase DA-related reward response and alcohol consumption.

description: Molecular Communication (MC) is an important nanoscale communication paradigm, which is employed for the interconnection of the nanomachines (NMs) to form nanonetworks. A transmitter NM (TN) sends the information symbols by emitting molecules into the transmission medium and a receiver NM (RN) receives the information symbols by sensing the molecule concentration. In this paper, a model of how a RN measures and reconstructs the molecular signal is proposed. The signal around the RN is assumed to be a Gaussian random process instead of deterministic approach in a more realistic way. After the reconstructed signal is derived as a Doubly Stochastic Poisson Process (DSPP), the distortion between the signal around the RN and the reconstructed signal is derived as a new performance parameter in MC systems. The derived distortion which is a function of system parameters such as RN radius, sampling period and the diffusion coefficient of the channel, is shown to be valid by employing random walk simulations. Then, it is shown that the original signal can be satisfactorily reconstructed with a sufficiently low-level of distortion. Finally, optimum RN design parameters, namely RN radius, sampling period and sampling frequency, are derived by minimizing the signal distortion. The simulation results reveal that there is a trade-off among the RN design parameters which can be jointly set for a desired signal distortion.

description: The theory that the change of the electronic kinetic energy in a direction perpendicular to the CuO-planes in high-temperature superconductors is a substantial fraction of the condensation energy is examined. It is argued that the consequences of this theory based on a rigorous $c$-axis conductivity sum rule are consistent with recent optical and penetration depth measurements.

description: Assigning a label to each pixel in an image, namely semantic segmentation, has been an important task in computer vision, and has applications in autonomous driving, robotic navigation, localization, and scene understanding. Fully convolutional neural networks have proved to be a successful solution for the task over the years but most of the work being done focuses primarily on accuracy. In this paper, we present a computationally efficient approach to semantic segmentation, while achieving a high mean intersection over union (mIOU), 70.33% on Cityscapes challenge. The network proposed is capable of running real-time on mobile devices. In addition, we make our code and model weights publicly available.

description: Fundamental insight into the physics of buoyant gas dispersion from realistic flow geometries is necessary to accurately predict flow structures associated with hydrogen outflow from accidental leaks and the associated flammability envelope. Using helium as an experimental proxy, turbulent buoyant jets issuing from high-aspect-ratio slots on the side wall of a circular tube were studied experimentally applying simultaneous particle image velocimetry (PIV) and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) techniques. Two slots with an aspect ratio of 10 were considered in this study. The effects of buoyancy, asymmetry, jet densities and Reynolds numbers on the resulting flow structure were studied in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Significant discrepancies were found between the evolution of current realistic jets issuing from curved surfaces and those conventional high-aspect-ratio jets originating from flat surfaces. These realistic pipeline leak-representative jets were found to deflect along the jet streamwise axis. It was found that increases in aspect ratio caused a reduction in the angle of deflection, jet centreline decay rates and the width growth on both velocity and scalar fields compared to their non-planar round jet counterparts, most notably in the far field.

description: Progress in understanding the embedded stars in LkHa225 has been hampered by their variability, making it hard to compare data taken at different times, and by the limited resolution of the available data, which cannot probe the small scales between the two stars. In an attempt to overcome these difficulties, we present new near-infrared data on this object taken using the ALFA adaptive optics system with the MPE 3D integral field spectrometer and the near-infrared camera Omega-Cass. The stars themselves have K-band spectra which are dominated by warm dust emission, analagous to class I-II for low mass YSOs, suggesting that the stars are in a phase where they are still accreting matter. On the other hand, the ridge of continuum emission between them is rather bluer, suggestive of extincted and/or scattered stellar light rather than direct dust emission. The compactness of the CO emission seen toward each star argues for accretion disks (which can also account for much of the K-band veiling) rather than a neutral wind. In contrast to other YSOs with CO emission, LkHa225 has no detectable Br_gamma emission. Additionally there is no H_2 detected on the northern star, although we do confirm that the strongest H_2 emission is on the southern star, where we find it is excited primarily by thermal mechanisms. A second knot of H_2 is observed to its northeast, with a velocity shift of -75kms and a higher fraction of non-thermal emission. This is discussed with reference to the H2O maser, the molecular outflow, and [S II] emission observed between the stars.

description: Transport of an inertial particle advected by a two-dimensional steady laminar flow is numerically investigated in the presences of a constant force and a periodic potential. Within particular parameter regimes this system exhibits absolute negative mobility, which means that the particle can travel in a direction opposite to the constant force. It is found that the profile of the periodic potential plays an important role in the nonlinear response regime. Absolute negative mobility can be drastically enhanced by applying appropriate periodic potential, the parameter regime for this phenomenon becomes larger and the amplitude of negative mobility grows exceedingly large (giant negative mobility). In addition, giant positive mobility is also observed in the presence of appropriate periodic potential.

Observation of two excited B$^+_\mathrm{c}$ states and measurement of the B$^+_\mathrm{c}$(2S) mass in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV

description: Signals consistent with the B$^+_\mathrm{c}$(2S) and B$^{*+}_\mathrm{c}$(2S) states are observed in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, in an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 143 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the CMS experiment during the 2015-2018 LHC running periods. These excited $\bar{\mathrm{b}}$c states are observed in the B$^+_\mathrm{c}π^+π^-$ invariant mass spectrum, with the ground state B$^+_\mathrm{c}$ reconstructed through its decay to J/$ψ\,π^+$. The two states are reconstructed as two well-resolved peaks, separated in mass by 29.1 $\pm$ 1.5 (stat) $\pm$ 0.7 (syst) MeV. The observation of two peaks, rather than one, is established with a significance exceeding five standard deviations. The mass of the B$^+_\mathrm{c}$(2S) meson is measured to be 6871.0 $\pm$ 1.2 (stat) $\pm$ 0.8 (syst) $\pm$ 0.8 (B$^+_\mathrm{c}$) MeV, where the last term corresponds to the uncertainty in the world-average B$^+_\mathrm{c}$ mass.

description: Initial volume fluctuation (VF) caused by participant fluctuation would be the background which should be subtracted from experimentally measured higher-order cumulants. STAR experiment has been applied Centrality Bin Width Correction (CBWC) to suppress VF. However, CBWC is not perfect method, there might be thus residual fractions of VF backgrounds. Recently, Volume Fluctuation Correction (VFC) was developed under the assumption of the independent particle production (IPP) model. In this talk, the importance of subtracting VF and validity of the VFC are studied by using simple toy models assuming IPP as well as UrQMD model. The results showed that VFC worked well in toy model but did not work well in UrQMD which imply that IPP model could be broken in UrQMD.

description: We investigate theoretically how the stress propagation characteristics of granular materials evolve as they are subjected to increasing pressures, comparing the results of a two-dimensional scalar lattice model to those of a molecular dynamics simulation of slightly polydisperse discs. We characterize the statistical properties of the forces using the force histogram and a two-point spatial correlation function of the forces. For the lattice model, in the granular limit the force histogram has an exponential tail at large forces, while in the elastic regime the force histogram is much narrower and has a form that depends on the realization of disorder in the model. The behavior of the force histogram in the molecular dynamics simulations as the pressure is increased is very similar to that displayed by the lattice model. In contrast, the spatial correlations evolve qualitatively differently in the lattice model and in the molecular dynamics simulations. For the lattice model, in the granular limit there are no in-plane stress-stress correlations, whereas in the molecular dynamics simulation significant in-plane correlations persist to the lowest pressures studied.

Intermediate temperature dynamics of one-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets

description: We present a general theory for the intermediate temperature (T) properties of Heisenberg antiferromagnets of spin-S ions on p-leg ladders, valid for 2Sp even or odd. Following an earlier proposal for 2Sp even (Damle and Sachdev, cond-mat/9711014), we argue that an integrable, classical, continuum model of a fixed-length, 3-vector applies over an intermediate temperature range; this range becomes very wide for moderate and large values of 2Sp. The coupling constants of the effective model are known exactly in terms of the energy gap above the ground state (for 2Sp even) or a crossover scale (for 2Sp odd). Analytic and numeric results for dynamic and transport properties are obtained, including some exact results for the spin-wave damping. Numerous quantitative predictions for neutron scattering and NMR experiments are made. A general discussion on the nature of T>0 transport in integrable systems is also presented: an exact solution of a toy model proves that diffusion can exist in integrable systems, provided proper care is taken in approaching the thermodynamic limit.

description: We calculate the polarization of prompt $\varUpsilon$($n$S) production in the improved color evaporation model at leading order employing the $k_T$-factorization approach. We present the polarization parameter $λ_\vartheta$ of prompt $\varUpsilon$($n$S) as a function of transverse momentum in $p+p$ and $p+\bar{p}$ collisions to compare with data in the helicity, Collins-Soper and Gottfried-Jackson frames. We also present calculations of the bottomonium production cross sections as a function of transverse momentum and rapidity. This is the first $p_T$-dependent calculation of bottomonium production and polarization in the improved color evaporation model. We find agreement with both bottomonium cross sections and polarization measurements.
