description: Capturing the non-collinear magnetic ground state of the spinel vanadates AV$_2$O$_4$ (A= Mn, Fe and Co) remains an outstanding challenge for state-of-the-art ab-initio methods. We demonstrate that both the non-collinear spin texture, as well as the magnitude of local moments, are captured by a single value of the on-site Hubbard $U$ of 2.7~eV in conjunction with the local spin density approximation (LSDA+$U$), provided the source term (i.e., magnetic monopole term) is removed from the exchange-correlation magnetic field ${\bf B}_{XC}$. We further demonstrate that the magnetic monopole structure in ${\bf B}_{XC}$ is highly sensitive to the value of $U$, to the extent that the interplay between on-site localization and local moment magnitude is qualitatively different depending on whether the source term is removed or not. This suggests that in treating strongly correlated magnetic materials within the LSDA+$U$ formalism, subtraction of the unphysical magnetic monopole term from the exchange-correlation magnetic field is essential to correctly treat the magnetic ground state.

description: We have started a large survey for double degenerate (DD) binaries as potential progenitors of type Ia supernovae with the UVES spectrograph at the ESO VLT (ESO SN Ia Progenitor surveY - SPY). About 400 white dwarfs were checked for radial velocity variations during the first 15 months of this project, twice the number of white dwarfs investigated during the last 20 years. We give an overview of the SPY project and present first results Fifty four new DDs have been discovered, seven of them double lined (only 18 and 6 objects of these groups were known before, respectively). The final sample is expected to contain 150 to 200 DDs. Eight new pre-cataclysmic binaries were also detected. SPY is the first DD survey which encompasses also non-DA white dwarfs. SPY produces an immense, unique sample of very high resolution white dwarf spectra, which provides a lot of spin-off opportunities. We describe our projects to exploit the SPY sample for the determination of basic parameters, kinematics, and rotational velocities of white dwarfs. A catalogue with a first subset of our white dwarf data has already been published by Koester et al. 2001.

description: The synthesis and biological activity of Trypanothione mimics and a series of quinoline derivatives designed as potential antileishmanial chemotherapies is reported. The biosynthesis of trypanothione is a unique pathway for parasites such as Leishmania and trypanosomes. A structure-guided design of trypanothione mimics led to the identification of 4 target compounds. Compounds 93 and 94 were designed to mimic the left-hand side chain, while compounds 105 and 106 mimicked side chains of molecule 59. The selected side chain mimics have not been previously assessed for their potential as TryR inhibitors. The left-hand side chain mimics 93/94 were synthesised from thioamine 85 and bromopropylamine 89 in six steps and in an overall yield of 2.3%. Side chain mimics 105/106 were synthesised from cysteine methyl ester 103 in five steps and in an overall yield of 3.5%. Five mimics, 93, 94, 98, 105 and 106, were tested in vitro against Leishmania major, however none exhibited activity. Preliminary enzymatic assays of mimics 94 and 106 against Trypanothione synthase indicated a degree of activity for 94 (inhibition >45 [microns]). [...]

description: We study a circuit QED setup where multiple superconducting qubits are ultrastrongly coupled to a single radio-frequency resonator. In this extreme parameter regime of cavity QED the dynamics of the electromagnetic mode is very slow compared to all other relevant timescales and can be described as an effective particle moving in an adiabatic energy landscape defined by the qubits. The focus of this work is placed on settings with two or multiple qubits, where different types of symmetry-breaking transitions in the ground- and excited-state potentials can occur. Specifically, we show how the change in the level structure and the wave packet dynamics associated with these transition points can be probed via conventional excitation spectra and Ramsey measurements performed at GHz frequencies. More generally, this analysis demonstrates that state-of-the-art circuit QED systems can be used to access a whole range of particle-like quantum mechanical phenomena beyond the usual paradigm of coupled qubits and oscillators.

Denote by $G_{-ϕ}$ the set $\{[g,ϕ]\,\vert\, g\in G\}$ and by $G_ϕ$ the centralizer of $ϕ$, that is, the subgroup of fixed points of $ϕ$. The obtained results are as follows.1. Assume that the subgroup $\langle x,y\rangle$ has derived length at most $d$ and $x^e=1$ for every $x,y\in G_{-ϕ}$. Suppose that $G_ϕ$ is nilpotent of class $c$. Then the exponent of $[G,ϕ]$ is $(c,d,e)$-bounded.2. Assume that $G_ϕ$ has rank $r$ and $x^e=1$ for each $x\in G_{-ϕ}$. Then the exponent of $[G,ϕ]$ is $(e,r)$-bounded.

description: We use a novel statistical tool, the mark correlation functions (MCFs), to study clustering of galaxy-size halos as a function of their properties and environment in a high-resolution numerical simulation of the LambdaCDM cosmology. We applied MCFs using several types of continuous and discrete marks: maximum circular velocity of halos, merger mark indicating whether halos experienced or not a major merger in their evolution history, and a stripping mark indicating whether the halo underwent a tidal stripping. We find that halos which experienced a relatively early (z>1) major merger or mass loss (due to tidal stripping) in their evolution histories are over-abundant in halo pairs with separations < 3 Mpc/h. This result can be interpreted as spatial segregation of halos with different merger histories, qualitatively similar to the morphological segregation in the observed galaxy distribution. The analysis presented in this paper demonstrate that MCFs provide powerful, yet algorithmically simple, quantitative measures of segregation in the spatial distribution of objects with respect to their various properties (marks).

title: Marker-Assisted Breeding for Papaya Ringspot Virus Resistance in Carica papaya L.

description: There have been numerous attempts to transfer Papaya ringspot virus-Type P (PRSV-P) resistance from wild Vasconcellea relatives (Vasconcellea pubescens, Vasconcellea stipulata, Vasconcellea cauliflora and Vasconcellea quercilfolia) to Carica papaya. Success has been limited by the high degree of genetic divergence and thus incompatibility between Vasconcellea species and C. papaya. This has resulted in infertility of intergeneric F1 hybrids and failure to perform backcrosses which are essential to transfer PRSV-P resistance to C. papaya. However, there has been success in producing intergeneric hybrid populations of C. papaya x V. pubescens; C. papaya x V. parviflora; and intrageneric populations of V. pubescens x V. parviflora. The aim of this research was to develop a resistant V. parviflora population containing the PRSV-P allele from V. pubescens and then transfer the resistance into C. papaya. In this research, F2 and F3 populations have been produced from the V. pubescens x V. parviflora [F1]. Individuals selected for their allele of the PRSV-P resistance gene i.e. homozygous resistant (RR) and heterozygous (Rr) were backcrossed to V. parviflora (rr) or outcrossed to C. papaya (rr) and their seedlings evaluated for morphological characteristics and PRSV-P resistance. Dominant traits were transferred from all species to progeny, e.g., leaf vein number (7) from V. pubescens (RR); pink flower colour from V. parviflora (rr); petiole colour (red-green) and plant size from C. papaya (rr). Other traits were intermediate in hybrids, e.g., flower shape and fruit size. When the wild species or their hybrids were outcrossed to C. papaya (rr), inheritance patterns did not always follow Mendelian ratios, suggesting abnormal pairing of chromosomes or preferential elimination of the Vasconcellea genes. For example, all flowers were female in crosses between C. papaya (rr) x V. pubescens (RR) and the cream flower colour of C. papaya (rr) was dominant over the pink colour of V. parviflora (rr). However the PRSV-P resistance gene from V. pubescens (RR) was transferred into V. parviflora (rr) from their F2 hybrids and pollen fertility was obtained in hybrids between C. papaya (rr) and V. parviflora (rr), thus V. parviflora (rr) is proposed as a bridging species between the other two. A co-dominant CAPS marker has been developed which is closely linked to PRSV-P resistance in V. pubescens (RR). This marker was used to facilitate these intergeneric and intrageneric hybridisation programmes and was used at the in vitro stage after embryo rescue of wide crosses.

description: Future land-use change could supplement populations of opportunistic predatory birds, such as corvids, resulting in amplified predation pressure and negative effects on populations of other avian species. We investigated whether Forest Ravens (Corvus tasmanicus) were more likely to be observed in modified landscapes and in areas of higher roadkill density in south-eastern Tasmania. Following this, we examined the effect of Forest Raven density on the abundance of other birds. We surveyed birds along roadsides to investigate the effects of land-use and raven population density on the presence of smaller birds/songbirds. We used species distribution models and generalised linear models to assess the habitat and population dynamics of Forest Ravens. Roadkill presence increased the probability of observing ravens more than six-fold. Forest Raven presence was also higher in agricultural areas than in forested and urban areas. There was no effect of Forest Raven abundance on species richness or abundance of smaller songbirds. This null result may be due to seasonal effects or because ravens moderate the presence or abundance of other avian predators. However, the interactions of meso-predators with other species are complex, and further work is required to assess the long-term effects of anthropogenic supplementation of ravens on the ecosystem.

Shrinking of Operators in Quantum Error Correction and AdS/CFT

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We first show that a class of operators acting on a given bipartite pure state on $\mathcal{H}_{A}\otimes\mathcal{H}_{B}$ can shrink its supports on $\mathcal{H}_{A}\otimes\mathcal{H}_{B}$ to only $\mathcal{H}_{A}$ or $\mathcal{H}_{B}$ while keeping its mappings. Using this result, we show how to systematically construct the decoders of the quantum error-correcting codes against erasure errors. The implications of the results for the operator dictionary in the AdS/CFT correspondence are also discussed. The "subalgebra code with complementary recovery" introduced in the recent work of Harlow is a quantum error-correcting code that shares many common features with the AdS/CFT correspondence. We consider it under the restriction of the bulk (logical) Hilbert space to a subspace that generally has no tensor factorization into subsystems. In this code, the central operators of the reconstructed algebra on the boundary subregion can emerge as a consequence of the restriction of the bulk Hilbert space. Finally, we show a theorem in this code which implies the validity of not only the entanglement wedge reconstruction but also its converse statement with the central operators.

description: Illicit drug profiling describes the applications of chemical or physical drug profiles to areas such as law enforcement and legislation. Stable isotope analysis by stable isotope ratio mass spectrometry (IRMS) has become a useful tool for illicit drug profiling purposes. The following research was focused on the illicit drug profiling of 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA) and 3,4-methylenedioxmethylamphetamine (MDMA) by IRMS. Following an extensive literature review, it was surmised that the illicit drug profiling of MDMA (and a lesser extent MDA) by IRMS was complicated. Previous research suggested that stable isotopic compositions of MDA/MDMA may not be characteristic of the synthetic history. Traditional precursors for these drugs have similar, plant-based origins and similar isotopic compositions. The changes to isotopic compositions during the synthesis of MDA/MDMA made it difficult to establish links back to specific precursors. The control of traditional precursors has seen illicit manufacturing utilise alternative compounds. Helional has emerged as a novel precursor for MDA and MDMA, and although recently legislated against in Queensland, Australia, remains largely uncontrolled in many other jurisdictions. The aim of this research was to investigate further the analysis of MDA and MDMA by IRMS, with particular focus on the alternative precursor helional. [...]

description: The time-averaged 30 ks Chandra HETGS observation of the micro-quasar GRS 1915+105 in the low hard state reveals for the first time in this source neutral K absorption edges from Fe, Si, Mg, & S. Ionized resonance absorption from H-, and He-like Fe (XXV, XXVI), Ca XX and possibly emission from neutral Fe Kalpha and ionized Fe XXV (forbidden, or the resonance emission component of a P-Cygni profile) are also seen. We report the tentative detection of the first astrophysical signature of XAFS in the photoelectric edge of Si (and possibly Fe and Mg), attributed to material in grains. The large column densities measured from the neutral edges reveal anomalous Si and Fe abundances. Scenarios for which the anomalous abundances can be attributed to surrounding cold material associated with GRS 1915+105 and/or that the enrichment may signify either a highly unusual supernova/hypernova, or external supernova activity local to the binary are discussed. We attribute the ionized features to a hot disk, disk-wind, or corona environment. These features allow for constraints on the ionization parameter (log xi > 4.15), temperature (T > 2.4 x 10^6 K), and hydrogen equivalent number density (n > 10^{12} cm^{-3}) for this region. Variability studies with simultaneous RXTE data show that the light curve count rate tracks changes in the disk blackbody and the power-law flux. Spectral changes in the Chandra data also track the behavior of the light curve, and may point to changes in both the ionizing flux and density of the absorber. A 3.69 Hz QPO and weak first harmonic is seen in the RXTE data.

description: Statistical inference on conditional dependence is essential in many fields including genetic association studies and graphical models. The classic measures focus on linear conditional correlations and are incapable of characterizing nonlinear conditional relationship including nonmonotonic relationship. To overcome this limitation, we introduce a nonparametric measure of conditional dependence for multivariate random variables with arbitrary dimensions. Our measure possesses the necessary and intuitive properties as a correlation index. Briefly, it is zero almost surely if and only if two multivariate random variables are conditionally independent given a third random variable. More importantly, the sample version of this measure can be expressed elegantly as the root of a V or U-process with random kernels and has desirable theoretical properties. Based on the sample version, we propose a test for conditional independence, which is proven to be more powerful than some recently developed tests through our numerical simulations. The advantage of our test is even greater when the relationship between the multivariate random variables given the third random variable cannot be expressed in a linear or monotonic function of one random variable versus the other. We also show that the sample measure is consistent and weakly convergent, and the test statistic is asymptotically normal. By applying our test in a real data analysis, we are able to identify two conditionally associated gene expressions, which otherwise cannot be revealed. Thus, our measure of conditional dependence is not only an ideal concept, but also has important practical utility. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.
The Low Mass X-ray Binary-Globular Cluster Connection II: NGC 4472 X-ray Source Properties and Source Catalogs

description: We present the results of a Chandra/HST study of the point sources of the NGC 4472. We identify 144 X-ray sources, 72 with HST matches. The optical data show 1102 sources, 829 with globular cluster colors. Thirty matches are found - likely to be low mass X-ray binaries in globular clusters, while 42 have no optical counterparts to V~25 and I~24 - likely predominantly LMXBs in the field star population. Thus approximately 40% of the X-ray sources are in globular clusters and ~4% of the globular clusters contain X-ray sources. The blue GC sources may have harder X-ray spectra than the red GC sources. No significant differences are found between the X-ray properties of the field sources and of the GC sources. This study, along with our previous result from Paper I in this series on the similarity of the spatial profile of the field LMXBs, globular cluster LMXBs, and the globular clusters themselves suggest that a significant fraction of the observed low mass X-ray binaries in the field may be created in a globular cluster then ejected into the field by stellar interaction s; however, by comparing the results for NGC 4472 with those in several other galaxies, we find tentative evidence for a correlation be tween the globular cluster specific frequency and the fraction of LMXBs in globular clusters, a correlation which would be most easily explained if some of the field sources were generated in situ. We show that isolated accreting very massive black holes are unlikely to be observable with current X-ray instrumentation and that these sources hence do not contaminate the LMXB population. We discuss the possibility that several equatorial point sources may indicate the presence of a disk wind responsible for the low radiative efficiency observed in the nucleus of this source.

description: Offline Signature Verification (OSV) is a challenging pattern recognition task, especially in presence of skilled forgeries that are not available during training. This study aims to tackle its challenges and meet the substantial need for generalization for OSV by examining different loss functions for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). We adopt our new approach to OSV by asking two questions: 1. which classification loss provides more generalization for feature learning in OSV? , and 2. How integration of different losses into a unified multi-loss function lead to an improved learning framework? These questions are studied based on analysis of three loss functions, including cross entropy, Cauchy-Schwarz divergence, and hinge loss. According to complementary features of these losses, we combine them into a dynamic multi-loss function and propose a novel ensemble framework for simultaneous use of them in CNN. Our proposed Multi-Loss Snapshot Ensemble (MLSE) consists of several sequential trials. In each trial, a dominant loss function is selected from the multi-loss set, and the remaining losses act as a regularizer. Different trials learn diverse representations for each input based on signature identification task. This multi-representation set is then employed for the verification task. An ensemble of SVMs is trained on these representations, and their decisions are finally combined according to the selection of most generalizable SVM for each user. We conducted two sets of experiments based on two different protocols of OSV, i.e., writer-dependent and writer-independent on three signature datasets: GPDS-Synthetic, MCYT, and UT-SIG. Based on the writer-dependent OSV protocol, we achieved substantial improvements over the best EERs in the literature. The results of the second set of experiments also confirmed the robustness to the arrival of new users enrolled in the OSV system.

description: Context. The water snowline divides dry and icy solid material in protoplanetary disks, and has been thought to significantly affect planet formation at all stages. If dry particles break up more easily than icy ones, then the snowline causes a traffic jam, because small grains drift inward at lower speeds than larger pebbles. Aims. We aim to evaluate the effect of high dust concentrations around the snowline onto the gas dynamics. Methods. Using numerical simulations, we model the global radial evolution of an axisymmetric protoplanetary disk. Our model includes particle growth, evaporation and recondensation of water, and the back-reaction of dust onto the gas, taking into account the vertical distribution of dust particles. Results. We find that the dust back-reaction can stop and even reverse the net flux of gas outside the snowline, decreasing the gas accretion rate onto the star to under $50\%$ of its initial value. At the same time the dust accumulates at the snowline, reaching dust-to-gas ratios of $ε\gtrsim 0.8$, and delivers large amounts of water vapor towards the inner disk, as the icy particles cross the snowline. However, the accumulation of dust at the snowline and the decrease in the gas accretion rate only take place if the global dust-to-gas ratio is high ($\varepsilon_0 \gtrsim 0.03$), if the viscous turbulence is low ($α_ν\lesssim 10^{-3} $), if the disk is large enough ($r_c \gtrsim 100\, \textrm{au}$), and only during the early phases of the disk evolution ($t \lesssim 1\, \textrm{Myr}$). Otherwise the dust back-reaction fails to perturb the gas motion.

description: Future land-use change could supplement populations of opportunistic predatory birds, such as corvids, resulting in amplified predation pressure and negative effects on populations of other avian species. We investigated whether Forest Ravens (Corvus tasmanicus) were more likely to be observed in modified landscapes and in areas of higher roadkill density in south-eastern Tasmania. Following this, we examined the effect of Forest Raven density on the abundance of other birds. We surveyed birds along roadsides to investigate the effects of land-use and raven population density on the presence of smaller birds/songbirds. We used species distribution models and generalised linear models to assess the habitat and population dynamics of Forest Ravens. Roadkill presence increased the probability of observing ravens more than six-fold. Forest Raven presence was also higher in agricultural areas than in forested and urban areas. There was no effect of Forest Raven abundance on species richness or abundance of smaller songbirds. This null result may be due to seasonal effects or because ravens moderate the presence or abundance of other avian predators. However, the interactions of meso-predators with other species are complex, and further work is required to assess the long-term effects of anthropogenic supplementation of ravens on the ecosystem.

description: The article is devoted to the problems of digital currencies in Germany. Types of digital currencies and their status in Germany are considered. The author analyzes the approaches of the legislator, regulator and doctrine to the content of the concepts of “blockchain”, “digital assets”, “tokens”, “cryptocurrency” and others. The Federal Electronic Securities Act of 2021 (ESS Act) and other changes in the legislation of the Federal Republic of Germany are analyzed. The advantages and disadvantages of the German approach to digital assets are identified. The EDS Act defines the rules for registration and exchange of digital assets in Germany. Rights to them are traded through electronic registries. One of the central innovations is the license for blockchain trading systems. Adapting German law to new technologies increases transparency, market integrity and investor protection.

description: At the Haverah Park Array a number of air shower observables were measured that are relevant to the determination of the mass composition of cosmic rays. In this paper we discuss measurements of the risetime of signals in large area water-Cherenkov detectors and of the lateral distribution function of the water-Cherenkov signal. The former are used to demonstrate that the CORSIKA code, using the QGSJET98 model, gives an adequate description of the data with a low sensitivity, in this energy range, to assumptions about primary mass. By contrast the lateral distribution is sufficiently well measured that there is mass sensitivity. We argue that in the range 0.2-1.0 EeV the data are well represented with a bi-modal composition of 34+-2 % protons and the rest iron. We also discuss the systematic errors induced by the choice of hadronic model.

The Silent Majority - Jets and Radio Cores from Low-Luminosity Black Holes
Creators: name: Falcke, Heino
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: They are weak, they are small, and they are often overlooked, but they are numerous and an ubiquitous sign of accreting black holes: compact radio cores and jets in low-power AGN. Here I summarize our work concerning these radio cores and jets in recent years, specifically focusing on the large population of low-luminosity AGN. Special attention is also given to Sgr A*, the supermassive black hole candidate at the Galactic Center, whose radio properties are reviewed in more detail. This source exhibits a submm-bump, possibly from an ultra-compact region around the black hole which should allow imaging of the event horizon of the black hole in the not too distant future. A jet model is proposed which explains the basic feature of Sgr A*: its slightly inverted radio spectrum, the submm-bump, the lack of extended emission, and the X-ray emission. This model also works for famous sources like M81*, NGC4258, or GRS1915+105 based on the argument that radio cores are jets whose emission can be scaled with the accretion power over many orders of magnitude. This scaling is corroborated by the detection of many Sgr A*-like radio cores in nearby Low-Luminosity AGN (LLAGN), some of which show jet structures on the VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) scale. These cores confirm an AGN origin of about half of the known low-luminosity AGN classified as LINERs and dwarf-Seyferts. It is argued that in fact most of the compact radio emission at centimeter waves in LLAGN is produced by a compact radio jet and not an Advection Dominated Accretion Flow (ADAF). In general one can say that compact radio cores are a genuine feature of AGN, allowing one to precisely pinpoint black holes in many galaxies - not only in luminous quasars.
