description: The dynamics of pulse solutions in a bistable reaction-diffusion system are studied analytically by reducing partial differential equations (PDEs) to finite-dimensional ordinary differential equations (ODEs). For the reduction, we apply the multiple-scales method to the mixed ODE-PDE system obtained by taking a singular limit of the PDEs. The reduced equations describe the interface motion of a pulse solution formed by two interacting front solutions. This motion is in qualitatively good agreement with that observed for the original PDE system. Furthermore, it is found that the reduction not only facilitates the analytical study of the pulse solution, especially the specification of the onset of local bifurcations, but also allows us to elucidate the global bifurcation structure behind the pulse behavior. As an application, the pulse dynamics in a heterogeneous bump-type medium are explored numerically and analytically. The reduced ODEs clarify the transition mechanisms between four pulse behaviors that occur at different parameter values.

description: The article deals with the consequences of the differentiated treatment given to microenterprises and small businesses on the environment of work and rights related to healthy living. Its objective is to analyze, based on data from the Reports of Work Accident Analysis prepared by Labor Auditors of the Regional Labor Management Bureau of Chapecó, if the definition of these companies, based only on annual revenues, is damaging the right of workers to provide services in a healthy and free of abusive risks work environment. The research is geographically delimited to the area of action of the Regional Labor Management Bureau of Chapecó and temporarily during the period from 2011 to 2015, with emphasis on construction activity. The methodology used is mediated by the inductive perspective, through consultation of primary sources. From the analysis of the fifty-two reports, it is concluded that the degree of risk and the environmental risk factors of the economic activity should be considered as defining criteria for applying the principle of favored and differentiated treatment for microenterprises and small enterprises, specifically regarding inspection of the norms regulating occupational safety and health.

description: String effective theories with N=1 supersymmetry in four dimensions are subject of the discussion. Gaugino condensation in the chiral representation of the dilaton is reviewed in the truncated formalism in the $U_{K}(1)$-superspace. Using the supersymmetric duality of the dilaton the same investigation is made in the linear representation of the dilaton. We show that for the simple case of one gaugino condensate the results concerning supersymmtry breaking are independent of the representation of the dilaton.

Combining finite element and finite difference methods for isotropic elastic wave simulations in an energy-conserving manner

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We consider numerical simulation of the isotropic elastic wave equations arising from seismic applications with non-trivial land topography. The more flexible finite element method is applied to the shallow region of the simulation domain to account for the topography, and combined with the more efficient finite difference method that is applied to the deep region of the simulation domain. We demonstrate that these two discretization methods, albeit starting from different formulations of the elastic wave equation, can be joined together smoothly via weakly imposed interface conditions. Discrete energy analysis is employed to derive the proper interface treatment, leading to an overall discretization that is energy-conserving. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed interface treatment.

description: We present Jansky Very Large Array observations of 20 - 37 GHz absorption lines from nearby Galactic diffuse molecular gas seen against four cosmologically-distant compact radio continuum sources. The main new observational results are that \linearC3H\ and \methCN\ are ubiqitous in the local diffuse molecular interstellar medium at \AV\ $\la 1$ while HC$_3$N was seen only toward B0415 at \AV\ $>$ 4 mag. The linear/cyclic ratio is much larger in C$_3$H than in C$_3$\HH\ and the ratio \methCN/HCN is enhanced compared to TMC-1, although not as much as toward the Horsehead Nebula. More consequentially, this work completes a long-term program assessing the abundances of small hydrocarbons (CH, \cch, linear and cyclic C$_3$H and C$_3$\HH, and \cfh\ and \cfhm) and the CN-bearing species (CN, HCN, HNC, HC$_3$N, HC$_5$N and CH$_3$CN): their systematics in diffuse molecular gas are presented in detail here. We also observed but did not strongly constrain the abundances of a few oxygen-bearing species, most prominently HNCO. We set limits on the column density of C\HH CN, such that the anion C\HH CN\m\ is only viable as a carrier of diffuse interstellar bands if the N(C\HH CN)/N(C\HH CN\m) abundance ratio is much smaller in this species than in any others for which the anion has been observed. We argue that complex organic molecules are not present in clouds meeting a reasonable definition of diffuse molecular gas, ie \AV\ $\la 1$ mag.

description: Statistics indicate that after the COVID-19 pandemic, many individuals have opted to work remotely for at least a few days each week. This study investigates the impact of teleworking on energy consumption and carbon emissions in Canadian homes. Four residential building models, aligned with the 2020 requirements of the National Building Code of Canada (NBC), were investigated across six Canadian climate zones. The findings of this study reveal that the increase in energy consumption and CO2 emissions due to teleworking varies according to the type of building and the number of thermal zones. For the selected single-zone house models, the maximum increase in energy consumption and CO2 emissions were 11% and 10%, respectively occurring in a row house two-story building. For the three-zone house models, the increase was 5%. Also, results indicated that full-time teleworking in a four-storey multi-family building with 12.5%, 50% and 100% teleworking ratios increased the total energy of the building by 1%, 4%, and 10%, respectively. The second phase of this study investigated possible enhancements to building energy codes, focusing on the National Building Code of Canada, to address increasing daytime occupancy resulting from teleworkers, retirees, and other occupants.
HIV & AIDS: Understanding the Epidemic

description: This comprehensive article delves into the HIV/AIDS epidemic, providing an in-depth understanding of its origins, transmission, symptoms, treatment, epidemiology, and ongoing combat efforts. HIV, a retrovirus targeting CD4 cells (T cells), undermines the immune system, leading to AIDS, characterized by opportunistic infections and cancers. The virus's origins trace back to Central African chimpanzees, with its presence in humans dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. Global awareness emerged in the 1980s, following rare disease clusters among U.S. gay men, leading to HIV's identification. French scientists Françoise Barré-Sinoussi and Luc Montagnier's 1983 discovery of HIV, which earned them the 2008 Nobel Prize, was pivotal in advancing understanding and treatment. The article also highlights the first recognized AIDS case in 1959 and the red ribbon's 1991 emergence as a global HIV/AIDS awareness symbol. Overall, the article explores the molecular mechanisms of HIV, the significant historical milestones, and the global efforts to combat this persistent epidemic

description: A matrix model to describe dynamical loops on random planar graphs is analyzed. It has similarities with a model studied by Kazakov, few years ago, and the O(n) model by Kostov and collaborators. The main difference is that all loops are coherently oriented and empty. The free energy is analytically evaluated and the two critical phases are analyzed, where the free energy exhibits the same critical behaviour of Kazakov's model, thus confirming the universality of the description in the continuum limit (surface with small holes, and the tearing phase). A third phase occurs on the boundary separating the above phase regions, and is characterized by a different singular behaviour, presumably due to the orientation of loops.

description: The two-loop self-energy correction to the Lamb shift of hydrogen-like ions is calculated for the $1s$, $2s$, and $2p_{1/2}$ states and nuclear charge numbers $Z = 30$-$100$. The calculation is performed to all orders in the nuclear binding strength parameter $Zα$. As compared to previous calculations of this correction, numerical accuracy is improved by an order of magnitude and the region of the nuclear charges is extended. An analysis of the $Z$-dependence of the obtained results demonstrates their consistency with the known $Zα$-expansion coefficients.

description: L'analisi dell'incostituzionalità di frasi crudeli e infami è stata oggetto della tesi di dottorato dell'autore. Con riferimento legale alla Costituzione federale del Brasile del 1988, che proibisce le pene considerate crudeli e infami, abbiamo cercato di delimitare la comprensione dei concetti "crudele" e "infame", cercando di tracciare un parallelo tra la funzione reale della frase. La delimitazione del quadro teorico (luogo del discorso) si è appoggiata nella “Criminologia Critica”, dal momento che essa giustifica l’operatività e le reali funzioni del sistema penale. Pertanto, è necessario comprendere le reali condizioni delle carceri brasiliane, le carceri sovraffollate, un sistema violento che non adempie alle funzioni promesse, in condizioni degradanti e inumane, con un'offesa all'ordine normativo interno ed esterno.

description: The atypical Procedural Legal Transaction allows the fully capable parties greater freedom and autonomy in the search for the solution to their conflicts that deal with rights that admit self-composition. The New Civil Procedure Code establishes that the parties may stipulate changes in the procedure to suit the specificities of the concrete case, agreeing upon their responsibilities, powers, faculties and procedural duties, before or during the process. In this context, the purpose of this article is to reflect on the nuances of this transaction, as well as its practical effectiveness a year after the new code came into force, through a research in the Civil Courts of Fortaleza / Ce. In order to accomplish this article a bibliographical and empirical research was used, descriptive-analytical method was used, and developed through a theoretical and practical research, whose goal was to demonstrate that the knowledge of the nuances of such transaction is essential to ensure the security of what to negotiate, enabling the effective performance of such transactions by the litigants.

description: Vehicle safety depends on (a) the range of identified hazards and (b) the operational situations for which mitigations of these hazards are acceptably decreasing risk. Moreover, with an increasing degree of autonomy, risk ownership is likely to increase for vendors towards regulatory certification. Hence, highly automated vehicles have to be equipped with verified controllers capable of reliably identifying and mitigating hazards in all possible operational situations. To this end, available methods for the design and verification of automated vehicle controllers have to be supported by models for hazard analysis and mitigation. In this paper, we describe (1) a framework for the analysis and design of planners (i.e., high-level controllers) capable of run-time hazard identification and mitigation, (2) an incremental algorithm for constructing planning models from hazard analysis, and (3) an exemplary application to the design of a fail-operational controller based on a given control system architecture. Our approach equips the safety engineer with concepts and steps to (2a) elaborate scenarios of endangerment and (2b) design operational strategies for mitigating such scenarios.

description: An action of a Lie algebra $\frak g$ on a manifold $M$ is just a Lie algebra homomorphism $ζ:\frak g\to \frak X(M)$. We define orbits for such an action. In general the space of orbits $M/\frak g$ is not a manifold and even has a bad topology. Nevertheless for a $\frak g$-manifold with equidimensional orbits we treat such notions as connection, curvature, covariant differentiation, Bianchi identity, parallel transport, basic differential forms, basic cohomology, and characteristic classes, which generalize the corresponding notions for principal $G$-bundles. As one of the applications, we derive a sufficient condition for the projection $M\to M/\frak g$ to be a bundle associated to a principal bundle.

description: The Bonferroni-based sequentially rejective graphical procedures of Bretz et al. (2009) and Burman et al. (2009) include well-known multiple testing procedures (MTPs) such as the fixed-sequence MTP, the Fallback MTP, the Holm MTP, various gatekeeping MTPs, and quite elaborated variants/combinations of these MTPs. One-sided simultaneous confidence intervals (SCIs) compatible with such graphical MTPs have previously been based on results for more general MTPs involving closed-testing or partitioning arguments. If the MTP is alpha-exhaustive, then these SCIs are quite simple, but no confidence assertions sharper than rejection assertions are possible unless all hypotheses are rejected. If the MTP is not alpha-exhaustive (as the Fallback MTP), then some confidence assertions sharper than rejection assertions are possible even when not all hypotheses are rejected. These SCIs are, however, far from simple and transparent, so their description is typically omitted in methodological accounts in this context. It is shown in this article how SCIs can be formulated in a simple and transparent way for any MTP in the Burman et al. (2009) class. Various illustrations are given. A direct proof of the validity of these SCIs is provided that is based on simple monotonicity relations and does not involve closed-testing or partitioning arguments.

Predicting the Neutral Hydrogen Content of Galaxies From Optical Data Using Machine Learning

description: We develop a machine learning-based framework to predict the HI content of galaxies using more straightforwardly observable quantities such as optical photometry and environmental parameters. We train the algorithm on z=0-2 outputs from the Mufasa cosmological hydrodynamic simulation, which includes star formation, feedback, and a heuristic model to quench massive galaxies that yields a reasonable match to a range of survey data including HI. We employ a variety of machine learning methods (regressors), and quantify their performance using the root mean square error ({\sc rmse}) and the Pearson correlation coefficient (r). Considering SDSS photometry, 3$^{rd}$ nearest neighbor environment and line of sight peculiar velocities as features, we obtain r $> 0.8$ accuracy of the HI-richness prediction, corresponding to {\sc rmse}$<0.3$. Adding near-IR photometry to the features yields some improvement to the prediction. Compared to all the regressors, random forest shows the best performance, with r $>0.9$ at $z=0$, followed by a Deep Neural Network with r $>0.85$. All regressors exhibit a declining performance with increasing redshift, which limits the utility of this approach to $z\la 1$, and they tend to somewhat over-predict the HI content of low-HI galaxies which might be due to Eddington bias in the training sample. We test our approach on the RESOLVE survey data. Training on a subset of RESOLVE data, we find that our machine learning method can reasonably well predict the HI-richness of the remaining RESOLVE data, with {\sc rmse}$\sim0.28$. When we train on mock data from Mufasa and test on RESOLVE, this increases to {\sc rmse}$\sim0.45$. Our method will be useful for making galaxy-by-galaxy survey predictions and incompleteness corrections for upcoming HI 21cm surveys such as the LADUMA and MIGHTEE surveys on MeerKAT, over regions where photometry is already available.

description: We study quantum strings in strong gravitational fields. The relevant small parameter is $g=R_c{\sqrt T_0}$, where $R_c$ is the curvature of the spacetime and $T_0$ is the string tension. Within our systematic expansion we obtain to zeroth order the null string (string with zero tension), while the first order correction incorporates the string dynamics. We apply our formalism to quantum null strings in de Sitter spacetime. After a reparametrization of the world-sheet coordinates, the equations of motion are simplified. The quantum algebra generated by the constraints is considered, ordering the momentum operators to the right of the coordinate operators. No critical dimension appears. It is anticipated however that the conformal anomaly will appear when the first order corrections proportional to $T_0$, are introduced.

description: Novelty is a key ingredient of innovation but quantifying it is difficult. This is especially true for visual work like graphic design. Using designs shared on an online social network of professional digital designers, we measure visual novelty using statistical learning methods to compare an images features with those of images that have been created before. We then relate social network position to the novelty of the designers images. We find that on this professional platform, users with dense local networks tend to produce more novel but generally less successful images, with important exceptions. Namely, users making novel images while embedded in cohesive local networks are more successful.

description: Translation control is crucial during virus-host interaction, in which the host relies on the translation machinery to mount an antiviral response or induce the inflammation response to reduce virus spread, while the virus aims to take control of this system to thwart the host defense while producing viral progeny. The field of oncolytic virus (OV) therapy relies on replicating, engineered viruses that preferentially infect tumor cells to induce direct oncolysis or promote an antitumor immune response. Despite the importance of translation control in virus-host interaction, not much has been described on the interaction at the translation level between OV and cancer cells. I propose that this knowledge gap could reveal significant improvements in OV efficacy in treating cancer. In my first study, I set out to characterize the translatome of an infection-resistant breast cancer cell line infected by three clinically advanced OVs to identify residual antiviral activity in cancer cells regulated by translation control. I found the inositol phosphatase Inpp5e to be a novel antiviral gene that is translationally induced during infection via a transcript variant shift. Mechanistically, I showed that the majority of Inpp5e transcripts in uninfected cells contain a long 5’ UTR that harbor four translationally inhibitory upstream reading frames (uORF). Yet, OV infection induced the expression of a shorter 5’ UTR with a spliced intron that removes three uORFs, derepressing the translation of Inpp5e mRNA. CRISPR-Cas9 knockout of Inpp5e also enhanced the infectivity of oncolytic HSV1 and VSV. My study suggests the existence of a class of translationally regulated antiviral genes in cancer cells. In my second study, I sought to adapt the translation of transgenes to the unique translation condition imposed by the infecting virus via the incorporation of a viral 5’UTR. I identified HSV1 5’UTRs by locating the transcription start site of most HSV1 genes using RNA-seq data, then determined the 5’UTR of US11 as a potent translation enhancer during HSV1 infection. Incorporation of this 5’UTR into the transgene expression cassette inserted into the HSV1 genome enhanced transgene expression significantly at the translation level. In my third study, I set out to explore the mechanism of miR-223 mediated inflammation inhibition. miR-223 is a protective miRNA in the context of atherogenesis via suppressing inflammatory signaling. Using transcriptome and translatome profiling (RNA-seq and Ribo-seq), I found that the inhibitory effect of miR-223 on inflammation occurs primarily at the translation level. Overall, my work highlights the importance of translation control in OV-cancer cells interaction, as well as in inflammation-related diseases.

description: The decay properties of long-lived excited states (isomers) can have a significant impact on the destruction channels of isotopes under stellar conditions. In sufficiently hot environments, the population of isomers can be altered via thermal excitation or de-excitation. If the corresponding lifetimes are of the same order of magnitude as the typical time scales of the environment, the isomers have to be the treated explicitly. We present a general approach to the treatment of isomers in stellar nucleosynthesis codes and discuss a few illustrative examples. The corresponding code is available online at http://exp-astro.de/isomers/

description: We analyze the moduli spaces of Calabi-Yau threefolds and their associated conformally invariant nonlinear sigma-models and show that they are described by an unexpectedly rich geometrical structure. Specifically, the Kahler sector of the moduli space of such Calabi-Yau conformal theories admits a decomposition into adjacent domains some of which correspond to the (complexified) Kahler cones of topologically distinct manifolds. These domains are separated by walls corresponding to singular Calabi-Yau spaces in which the spacetime metric has degenerated in certain regions. We show that the union of these domains is isomorphic to the complex structure moduli space of a single topological Calabi-Yau space---the mirror. In this way we resolve a puzzle for mirror symmetry raised by the apparent asymmetry between the Kahler and complex structure moduli spaces of a Calabi-Yau manifold. Furthermore, using mirror symmetry, we show that we can interpolate in a physically smooth manner between any two theories represented by distinct points in the Kahler moduli space, even if such points correspond to topologically distinct spaces. Spacetime topology change in string theory, therefore, is realized by the most basic operation of deformation by a truly marginal operator. Finally, this work also yields some important insights on the nature of orbifolds in string theory.

description: A new diffusion charging-based aerosol instrument design is presented, intended to be a starting point for a low-cost particle concentration sensor. The aim in the design is to minimize instrument response dependence on the sample flow rate. The operation principle, response functions of the components, and performance of a prototype instrument are reported. Based on the performance evaluation, the instrument response remained constant within ±15% over a wide sample flow rate range of 3 to 10 lpm. While in the design some sensitivity is sacrificed to minimize flow rate dependency, the detection limit is still sufficient for a practical sensor application. © 2018 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: Extended stellar haloes are a natural by-product of the hierarchical formation of massive galaxies. If merging is a non-negligible factor in the growth of our Galaxy, evidence of such events should be encoded in its stellar halo. Reliable identification of genuine halo stars is a challenging task however. The 1st Gaia data release contains the positions, parallaxes and proper motions for over 2 million stars, mostly in the Solar neighbourhood. Gaia DR2 will enlarge this sample to over 1.5 billion stars, the brightest ~5 million of which will have a full phase-space information. Our aim is to develop a machine learning model to reliably identify halo stars, even when their full phase-space information is not available. We use the Gradient Boosted Trees algorithm to build a supervised halo star classifier. The classifier is trained on a sample extracted from the Gaia Universe Model Snapshot, convolved with the errors of TGAS, as well as with the expected uncertainties of the upcoming Gaia DR2. We also trained our classifier on the cross-match between the TGAS and RAVE catalogues, where the halo stars are labelled in an entirely model independent way. We then use this model to identify halo stars in TGAS. When full phase- space information is available and for Gaia DR2-like uncertainties, our classifier is able to recover 90% of the halo stars with at most 30% distance errors, in a completely unseen test set, and with negligible levels of contamination. When line-of-sight velocity is not available, we recover ~60% of such halo stars, with less than 10% contamination. When applied to the TGAS data, our classifier detects 337 high confidence RGB halo stars. Although small, this number is consistent with the expectation from models given the data uncertainties. The large parallax errors are the biggest limitation to identify a larger number of halo stars in all the cases studied.

description: We derive an integral-free thermodynamic perturbation series expansion for quantum partition functions which enables an analytical term-by-term calculation of the series. The expansion is carried out around the partition function of the classical component of the Hamiltonian with the expansion parameter being the strength of the off-diagonal, or quantum, portion. To demonstrate the usefulness of the technique we analytically compute to third order the partition functions of the 1D Ising model with longitudinal and transverse fields, and the quantum 1D Heisenberg model.

description: The multi-Regge effective action is derived directly from the linearized gravity action. After excluding the redundant field components we separate the fields into momentum modes and integrate over modes which correspond neither to the kinematics of scattering nor to the one of exchanged particles. The effective vertices of scattering and of particle production are obtained as sums of the contributions from the triple and quartic interaction terms and the fields in the effective action are defined in terms of the two physical components of the metric fluctuation.
