description: Recent photoemission spectroscopy measurements [arXiv:1509.01611] on cuprate superconductors have inferred that over a wide range of doping, the imaginary part of the electron self-energy scales as $Σ^{\prime\prime}\sim(ω^2+π^2T^2)^a$ with $a=1$ in the overdoped Fermi-liquid state and $a<0.5$ in the optimal to underdoped regime. We show that this non-Fermi-liquid scaling behavior can naturally be explained by the presence of a scale-invariant state of matter known as unparticles. We evaluate analytically the electron self-energy due to interactions with fermionic unparticles. We find that, in agreement with experiments, the imaginary part of the self-energy scales with respect to temperature and energy as $Σ^{\prime\prime}\sim T^{2+2α}$ and $ω^{2+2α}$, where $α$ is the anomalous dimension of the unparticle propagator. In addition, the calculated occupancy and susceptibility of fermionic unparticles, unlike those of normal fermions, have significant spectral weights even at high energies. This unconventional behavior is attributed to the branch cut in the unparticle propagator which broadens the unparticle spectral function over a wide energy range and non-trivially alters the scattering phase space by enhancing (suppressing) the intrinsic susceptibility at low energies for negative (positive) $α$. Our work presents new evidence suggesting that unparticles might be important low-energy degrees of freedom in strongly coupled systems such as the cuprate superconductors.

title: THE ROLES OF POLAR CELL EXTENSIONS IN DROSOPHILA MICROPYLE FORMATION
Creators: name: Hull, Bradford

Subjects: subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: The Drosophila micropyle is a conserved formation utilized to allow sperm passage past the robust eggshell structure for fertilization. Micropyle formation follows a unique acellular tubulogenesis method where it is secreted and shaped by specialized follicle cells including the border cells and polar cells. In late oogenesis, the polar cells form extensions that are necessary to create the micropyle pore through which sperm enters. Previous work established that polar cell extension presence is required for micropyle pore formation. We investigated temporal requirements of extensions throughout chorion deposition and found extensions are required during the beginning and middle of choriogenesis, but not the end, suggesting that extensions are only necessary to form the inner pore structure. We also investigated polar cell extensions involvement in formation of sperm-attracting micropyle surface glycoproteins. It was found that polar cell extensions are not involved, but some component of the border/polar cell cluster is seemingly involved in their formation. Finally, we investigated polar cell apoptosis requirements at the end of oogenesis and found that polar cell apoptosis is required to clear the micropyle pore for sperm entry. These results support our placeholder model of tube formation and contribute to the comprehension of polar cell functions.

description: Use of blood chemistries in the form of metabolic profiles to determine nutritional status has been advocated, but acceptance has been limited as a result of high cost and interpretation difficulties. A pooled sample approach to metabolic profiling could provide a more comprehensive snapshot of herd metabolic status with minimal economic investment compared to individual sampling. Study objectives were to evaluate diagnostic reference criteria to determine if pooled sample blood analyte concentrations collected at different periods relative to calving can differentiate between herds with and without health problems, and provide diagnostic value in assessment of transition cow problems.

description: The detection and study of molecular gas in born-again stars would be of great importance to understand their composition and chemical evolution. In addition, the molecular emission would be an invaluable tool to explore the physical conditions, kinematics and formation of asymmetric structures in the circumstellar envelopes of these evolved stars. However, until now, all attempts to detect molecular emission from the cool material around born-again stars have failed. We carried out observations using the APEX and IRAM 30m telescopes to search for molecular emission toward four well studied born-again stars, V4334 Sgr, V605 Aql, A30 and A78, that are thought to represent an evolutionary sequence. We detected for the first time emission from HCN and H$^{13}$CN molecules toward V4334 Sgr, and CO emission in V605 Aql. No molecular emission was detected above the noise level toward A30 and A78. A first estimate of the H$^{12}$CN/H$^{13}$CN abundance ratio in the circumstellar environment of V4334 Sgr is $\approx$3, which is similar to the value of the $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratio measured from other observations. We derived a rotational temperature of $T_{\rm rot}$=13$\pm1$ K, and a total column density of $N_{\rm HCN}$=1.6$\pm0.1\times$10$^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$ for V4334 Sgr. This result sets a lower limit on the amount of hydrogen that was ejected into the wind during the born-again event of this source. For V605 Aql, we obtained a lower limit for the integrated line intensities $I_{^{12}\rm C}$/$I_{^{13}\rm C}$>4.

description: Rapid economic growth in China with considerable market intervention has led to renewed interest in the efficacy of industrial policy. Have industrial policies helped Chinese firms overcome market failures and boosted productivity, or have they distorted markets and undermined creative destruction? This paper explores these questions in the specific context of local implementation by studying the targeting of financial favors and the relationship of such targeting to local political incentives. Using unique and largely unexplored quasi-census firm-level data from annual tax surveys in China from 2007 to 2015, this paper demonstrates that financial favors disproportionately target loss-making, larger, older, and less productive firms. It then argues that short-term career incentives facing local officials explain this sub-optimal targeting, showing that promotion likelihood for city leaders increases with higher levels of ‘excess’ financial favors to firms, particularly when these favors are provided to loss-making firms. Finally, the paper estimates costs to the Chinese economy from misallocated financial support by showing that financial favors are associated with lower levels of firm entry and lower productivity growth. The paper contributes to the literature on industrial policy, political incentives, and misallocation, and has important implications for China’s future growth and transition.

description: Magnetic flux tubes such as those in the solar corona are subject to a number of instabilities. Important among them is the kink instability which plays a central part in the nanoflare theory of coronal heating, and for this reason in numerical simulations it is usually induced by tightly-controlled perturbations and studied in isolation. In contrast, we find that when disturbances are introduced in our magnetohydrodynamic flux tube simulations by dynamic twisting of the flow at the boundaries fluting modes of instability are readily excited. We also find that the flute instability, which has been theorised but rarely observed in the coronal context, is strongly enhanced when plasma viscosity is assumed anisotropic. We proceed to investigate the co-existence and competition between flute and kink instabilities for a range of values of the resistivity and of the parameters of the anisotropic and isotropic models of viscosity. We conclude that while the flute instability cannot prevent the kink from ultimately dominating, it can significantly delay its development especially at strong viscous anisotropy induced by intense magnetic fields.

description: We theoretically study the electrical, thermal and thermoelectric transport properties of graphene nanoribbons under torsional deformations. The modelling follows a nonequilibrium Green's function approach in the ballistic transport regime, describing the electrical and phononic properties through \textit{ab-initio} density functional theory and empirical interatomic potentials, respectively. We consider two different types of deformations, a continuous twist of a given angle applied to the nanoribbon, and two consecutive twists applied in opposite angular directions. The numerical results are carefully analysed in terms of spatially-resolved electron eigenchannels, polarization-dependent phonon transmission and thermoelectric figure-of-merit.

description: The transition to Euclidean space and the discretization of quantum field theories on spatial or space-time lattices opens up the opportunity to investigate probabilistic machine learning within quantum field theory. Here, we will discuss how discretized Euclidean field theories, such as the $ϕ^{4}$ lattice field theory on a square lattice, are mathematically equivalent to Markov fields, a notable class of probabilistic graphical models with applications in a variety of research areas, including machine learning. The results are established based on the Hammersley-Clifford theorem. We will then derive neural networks from quantum field theories and discuss applications pertinent to the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence for the probability distribution of the $ϕ^{4}$ machine learning algorithms and other probability distributions.

description: We have explored the evolution of a cold debris disk under the gravitational influence of dwarf planet sized objects (DPs), both in the presence and absence of an interior giant planet. Through detailed long-term numerical simulations, we demonstrate that, when the giant planet is not present, DPs can stir the eccentricities and inclinations of disk particles, in linear proportion to the total mass of the DPs; on the other hand, when the giant planet is included in the simulations, the stirring is approximately proportional to the mass squared. This creates two regimes: below a disk mass threshold (defined by the total mass of DPs), the giant planet acts as a stabilizing agent of the orbits of cometary nucleii, diminishing the effect of the scatterers; above the threshold, the giant contributes to the dispersion of the particles.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The aim of this work is to propose a method of zooplankton classification using standard echosounder frequencies. This method is based on the algorithm designed by V.Holliday and C.Greenlaw for the classification of small zooplankton using high frequencies. The use of lower frequencies should also allow to classify larger organisms. The data used are the Svs at each available frequency. The method is based on the NNLS inversion algorithm, applied to an equations’ system with as many equations as there are measured frequencies. The original method used the truncated fluid sphere model (TFS) which describes the copepods. A set of backscattering models corresponding to other organisms has been added : the high-pass Stanton, 1989 models (fluid sphere or prolate spheroid for copepods, bent cylinder for euphausiids, gaseous sphere or prolate spheroid for gas-filled organisms), the DWBAs from Stanton & Chu, 2000 (fluid ellipsoid for the copepods, bent cylinder for the euphausiids, gas bubble), the high-pass elastic shell from Stanton et al., 1994. In order to classify the organisms figuring in a sample, the algorithm looks for the optimal population - type, sizes and abundances - that minimises the residual error between the Svs measured and Svs calculated using the corresponding backscattering model. The efficiency of the various models in regard of different settings of the algorithm’s internal parameters has been studied by means of simulations on virtual multisized populations. The results observed on these populations have clarified the conditions for stable results for each model. The accuracy of the results has also been tested when using different frequency combinations: from 6 frequencies used in the original algorithm to 5, 4, 3 and 2 frequencies. The algorithm yields a lower level of success when the number of frequencies decreases. Additionally, the range of the size vector initialising the algorithm with respect to the sizes actually present in the population has been found to be an important parameter: different configurations were explored.

description: Rich offline experience, periodic background sync, push notification functionality, network requests control, improved performance via requests caching are only a few of the functionalities provided by the Service Worker (SW) API. This new technology, supported by all major browsers, can significantly improve users' experience by providing the publisher with the technical foundations that would normally require a native application. Albeit the capabilities of this new technique and its important role in the ecosystem of Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), it is still unclear what is their actual purpose on the web, and how publishers leverage the provided functionality in their web applications. In this study, we shed light in the real world deployment of SWs, by conducting the first large scale analysis of the prevalence of SWs in the wild. We see that SWs are becoming more and more popular, with the adoption increased by 26% only within the last 5 months. Surprisingly, besides their fruitful capabilities, we see that SWs are being mostly used for In-Page Push Advertising, in 65.08% of the SWs that connect with 3rd parties. We highlight that this is a relatively new way for advertisers to bypass ad-blockers and render ads on the user's displays natively.

description: Lyapunov exponent is widely used in natural science to find chaotic signal, but its existence is seldom discussed. In the present paper, we consider the problem of whether the set of points at which Lyapunov exponent fails to exist, called the Lyapunov irregular set, has positive Lebesgue measure. The only known example with the Lyapunov irregular set of positive Lebesgue measure is a figure-8 attractor by the work of Ott and Yorke [OY2008], whose key mechanism (homoclinic loop) is easy to be broken by small perturbations. In this paper, we show that surface diffeomorphisms with a robust homoclinic tangency given by Colli and Vargas [CV2001], as well as other several known nonhyperbolic dynamics, has the Lyapunov irregular set of positive Lebesgue measure. We can construct such positive Lebesgue measure sets both as the time averages exist and do not exist on it.

description: Analyses of multi-epoch, high-resolution (~ 50000) optical spectra of seven early-type systems provided various important new insights with respect to their multiplicity. First determinations of orbital periods were made for HD 92206C (2.022 d), HD 112244 (27.665 d), HD 164438 (10.25 d), HD 123056A (~ 1314 d) and HD 123056B (< 2 d); the orbital period of HD 318015 could be improved (23.445975 d). Concerning multiplicity, a third component was discovered for HD 92206C by means of He I line profiles. For HD 93146A, which was hitherto assumed to be SB1, lines of a secondary component could be discerned. HD 123056 turns out to be a multiple system consisting of a high-mass component A (~ O8.5) displaying a broad He II 5411 A feature with variable radial velocity, and of an inner pair B (~ B0) with double He I lines. The binary HD 164816 was revisited and some of its system parameters were improved. In particular, we determined its systemic velocity to be -7 km/s, which coincides with the radial velocity of the cluster NGC 6530. This fact, together with its distance, suggests the cluster membership of HD 164816. The OB system HD 318015 (V1082 Sco) belongs to the rare class of eclipsing binaries with a supergiant primary (B0.5/0.7). Our combined orbital and light-curve analysis suggests that the secondary resembles an O9.5III star. Our results for a limited sample corroborate the findings that many O stars are actually massive multiple systems.

description: We develop a renormalization group for weak Harris-marginal disorder in otherwise strongly interacting quantum critical theories, focusing on systems which have emergent conformal invariance. Using conformal perturbation theory, we argue that previously proposed random lines of fixed points with Lifshitz scaling in fact flow towards other universal fixed points, and this flow is captured by a "one-loop" analysis. Our approach appears best controlled in theories with only a few operators with low scaling dimension. In this regime, we compare our predictions for the flow of disorder to holographic models, and find complete agreement.

Linear-in-flux-expression (LIFE) approach to dynamic biological networks
Creators: name: Merrill, Nathaniel J.
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: This work analyzes the dynamics of three distinct classes of biological systems. The first is metabolic networks. The methodology named LIFE (Linear-in-Flux-Expression) was developed with the purpose of studying and analyzing large metabolic systems. With LIFE, the number of model parameters is reduced by accounting for correlations among the components of the system. These systems can be associated to graphs. General results on the stability of LIFE systems are discussed, particularly we formulate necessary conditions on the graph's structure to ensure the stability of the dynamics. Moreover, stability analysis from related fields, such as Markov chains, network flows, and compartmental systems, can also be applied. Control of LIFE systems through the addition of drugs as well as modifying intakes is discussed. A generalized graph object which incorporates hyperedges and uberedges is used to apply LIFE to metabolic networks, in particular to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Results from LIFE simulations on MTB carbon metabolism are presented via simulations. Finally, the method allows us to rank 4-drug combinations in terms of their effectiveness in destabilizing MTB metabolic networks, thus killing the bacterium.The second class of systems is models for circadian rhythm. One of the essential characteristics of an authentic circadian clock is that the free-running period sustains an approximately24-hour cycle. The dynamics of the circadian clock is modified by an external stimulus, called a zeitgeber. This modification process is known as entrainment and operates to reset the phase and period of the circadian clock. When analyzing the phase of entrainment of many individuals, it is often assumed that an organism with a short period will have a phase advance, and a prolonged period will have a phase delay; however, this does not explain all known experimental data, so a Two-Step Entrainment model was developed. This work analyzes how parameters of the model affect the dynamics and presents results fitting the Two-Step Entrainment model to human data. The third class of systems consists of ecological networks. The interactions of species are often described via a network. Construction of networks in paleoecology is challenging due to the lack of observations of interactions, as well as biases in the preservation of species. The links of species in these networks must be inferred based on properties such as body size, similarities to living species, genetic information (when possible), and other known characteristics. Studying how paleo-networks have changed and adapted through time could assist in predicting how current ecological communities might react to environmental stressors. This work reconstructs networks from arthropod data found in rodent middens. The dynamics of these networks over 20,000 years is analyzed, and network metrics such as connectance are compared to modern networks.

description: (1) Background: Organ transplant recipients (OTRs) are vulnerable groups at risk of parasitic infections. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the overall prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp. in OTRs and shed light on this potentially serious complication of organ transplantation. (2) Methods: We systematically searched studies on Cryptosporidium sp. infections in OTRs in four databases (Academia, PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct). Random effects models were used to calculate pooled prevalence estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Sub-group and meta-regression analyses were conducted. A quality assessment of the included studies was also performed. (3) Results: Among 876 articles retrieved, 21 were included, accounting for 2,642 OTRs. Twenty studies were cross-sectional in design, of which seven reported data on a comparison group, and one was a retrospective cohort. The pooled prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp. in OTRs was 15% (95% CI: 7.4–24.6). Subgroup analysis revealed that the prevalence of Cryptosporidium sp. infection was higher in adults, symptomatics and developing countries and in studies using only non-molecular methods. However, substantial heterogeneity was reported. Low to moderate heterogeneity was observed in subgroups reporting lower prevalence Cryptosporidium sp. including children (5.8; 95% CI: 2.8–9.6), studies conducted in developed countries (5.8; 95% CI: 3.0–9.4) and studies using both molecular and non-molecular diagnostics (11.4; 95% CI: 6.4–17.4). The majority of the listed research reported low-medium quality scores. (4) Conclusion: Cryptosporidium sp. infection is a significant complication in OTRs with underreported prevalence. Preventive strategies to reduce the burden should include Cryptosporidium sp. routine screening for OTRs, particularly post-transplantation in patients with diarrhea. Additional well-designed research studies are required to determine the extent of the Cryptosporidium sp. burden in OTRs.

description: Detecting the marking characters of industrial metal parts remains challenging due to low visual contrast, uneven illumination, corroded character structures, and cluttered background of metal part images. Affected by these factors, bounding boxes generated by most existing methods locate low-contrast text areas inaccurately. In this paper, we propose a refined feature-attentive network (RFN) to solve the inaccurate localization problem. Specifically, we design a parallel feature integration mechanism to construct an adaptive feature representation from multi-resolution features, which enhances the perception of multi-scale texts at each scale-specific level to generate a high-quality attention map. Then, an attentive refinement network is developed by the attention map to rectify the location deviation of candidate boxes. In addition, a re-scoring mechanism is designed to select text boxes with the best rectified location. Moreover, we construct two industrial scene text datasets, including a total of 102156 images and 1948809 text instances with various character structures and metal parts. Extensive experiments on our dataset and four public datasets demonstrate that our proposed method achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

Predictive modeling for chemical developmental toxicity assessments

description: Developmental toxicity is a critical health hazard that needs to be addressed in chemical risk assessments. Traditional animal testing for developmental toxicity evaluations is expensive, time consuming and requires a large number of animals. High throughput screening is one such low cost method that has been used to test a large number of chemicals for toxicity and computational modeling is a promising approach to quickly evaluate chemical toxicity. In this paper, we collected a large database consisting of 1,365 unique chemicals with their in vivo developmental toxicity potentials from various sources. The database was searched against PubChem, a public repository, to establish in vitro bioprofiles of the chemicals. The PubChem in vitro assays were clustered based on relationships between structural fragments and cellular responses in the assays, to identify relevant assays that may reveal the underlying toxicity mechanisms for developmental toxicity. The PubChem in vitro assay clusters were used for read-across studies for predicting developmental toxicity and several clusters had high positive prediction rates in the cross-validation process. With further analysis, several interesting chemical toxic alerts were identified from the read-across studies for different clusters. These alerts can be used to establish molecular initiating events (MIE) in vitro and link to in vivo through an adverse outcome pathway (AOP), to improve the read-across prediction rates. The results indicate that if a chemical contains the chemical toxic alert and shows active response in the relevant bioassay, it has high potential to be a developmental toxicant. Novel mechanisms for developmental toxicity were also revealed in this study. This modeling approach can be used to predict a new chemical for developmental toxicity and can be extended for use in other toxicity end points.
Reducing the Top Quark Mass Uncertainty with Jet Grooming

description: The measurement of the top quark mass has large systematic uncertainties coming from the Monte Carlo simulations that are used to match theory and experiment. We explore how much that uncertainty can be reduced by using jet grooming procedures. We estimate the inherent ambiguity in what is meant by Monte Carlo mass to be around 530 MeV without any corrections. This uncertainty can be reduced by 60% to 200 MeV by calibrating to the W mass and a further 33% to 140 MeV by applying soft-drop jet grooming (or by 20% more to 170 MeV with trimming). At e+e- colliders, the associated uncertainty is around 110 MeV, reducing to 50 MeV after calibrating to the W mass. By analyzing the tuning parameters, we conclude that the importance of jet grooming after calibrating to the W mass is to reduce sensitivity to the underlying event.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Direct comparison of acoustic densities and trawl catches involves fundamental difficulties related to species and size selectivity of the trawl and efficiency of the acoustic instrumentation. In some surveys, therefore, accumulated experience on the visual appearance of various species on the echograms combined with species and size information from the trawl is used to scrutinize the echogram and split the observed total acoustic density to species or groups of species. In this paper, combined bottom trawl – acoustic survey data collected by Scotland and Norway from the North and the Barents Seas are used to study correlations between bottom trawl catches and the acoustic density measures logged from vessel mounted transducers during the trawl operations. We want to evaluate if classifying echo traces by species or groups of species prior to the analysis can improve the correlations between trawl catches and acoustic densities. Although the classification process contains elements of subjectivity, it is based on characteristics of the echo traces, temporal changes in the echograms, geographic location and time of day as well as species and size compositions of the trawl catches. Initial results indicate that scrutinized information improves the correlation between trawl and acoustic density information and that harmonized rules for the scrutinizing procedures should be developed.

description: We present IndoNLI, the first human-elicited NLI dataset for Indonesian. We adapt the data collection protocol for MNLI and collect nearly 18K sentence pairs annotated by crowd workers and experts. The expert-annotated data is used exclusively as a test set. It is designed to provide a challenging test-bed for Indonesian NLI by explicitly incorporating various linguistic phenomena such as numerical reasoning, structural changes, idioms, or temporal and spatial reasoning. Experiment results show that XLM-R outperforms other pre-trained models in our data. The best performance on the expert-annotated data is still far below human performance (13.4% accuracy gap), suggesting that this test set is especially challenging. Furthermore, our analysis shows that our expert-annotated data is more diverse and contains fewer annotation artifacts than the crowd-annotated data. We hope this dataset can help accelerate progress in Indonesian NLP research.

description: The NASA telescope NICER has recently measured x-ray emissions from the heaviest of the precisely known two-solar mass neutron stars, PSR J0740+6620. Analysis of the data [Miller et al., Astrophys. J. Lett. 918, L28 (2021); Riley et al., Astrophys. J. Lett. 918, L27 (2021)] suggests that PSR J0740+6620 has a radius in the range of $R_{2.0} \approx (11.4-16.1)$ km at the $68\%$ credibility level. In this article, we study the implications of this analysis for the sound speed in the high-density inner cores by using recent chiral effective field theory ($χ$EFT) calculations of the equation of state at next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order to describe outer regions of the star at modest density. We find that the lower bound on the maximum speed of sound in the inner core, $\textbf{min}\{c^2_{s, {\rm max}}\}$, increases rapidly with the radius of massive neutron stars. If $χ$EFT remains an efficient expansion for nuclear interactions up to about twice the nuclear saturation density, $R_{2.0}\geqslant 13$ km requires $\textbf{min}\{c^2_{s, {\rm max}}\} \geqslant 0.562$ and $0.442$ at the $68\%$ and $95\%$ credibility level, respectively.
