description: About 80\% of the mass of the present Universe is made up of the unknown (dark matter), while the rest is made up of ordinary matter. It is a very intriguing question why the {\it mass} densities of dark matter and ordinary matter (mainly baryons) are close to each other. It may be hinting the identity of dark matter and furthermore structure of a dark sector. A mirrored world provides a natural explanation to this puzzle. On the other hand, if mirror-symmetry breaking scale is low, it tends to cause cosmological problems. In this letter, we propose a mirrored unification framework, which breaks mirror-symmetry at the grand unified scale, but still addresses the puzzle. The dark matter mass is strongly related with the dynamical scale of QCD, which explains the closeness of the dark matter and baryon masses. Intermediate-energy portal interactions share the generated asymmetry between the visible and dark sectors. Furthermore, our framework is safe from cosmological issues by providing low-energy portal interactions to release the superfluous entropy of the dark sector into the visible sector.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: New Physics can manifest itself in kinematic distributions of particle decays. The parameter space defining the shape of such distributions can be large which is challenging for both theoretical and experimental studies. Using clustering algorithms, the parameter space can however be dissected into subsets (clusters) which correspond to similar kinematic distributions. Clusters can then be represented by benchmark points, which allow for less involved studies and a concise presentation of the results. We demonstrate this concept using the Python package ClusterKinG, an easy to use framework for the clustering of distributions that particularly aims to make these techniques more accessible in a High Energy Physics context. As an example we consider $\bar B\to D^{(*)}τ^-\barν_τ$ distributions and discuss various clustering methods and possible implications for future experimental analyses.

description: In this Paper we present a clustering analysis of QSOs as a function of luminosity over the redshift range z=0.3-2.9. We use a sample of 10566 QSOs taken from the preliminary data release catalogue of the 2dF QSO Redshift Survey (2QZ). We analyse QSO clustering as a function of apparent magnitude. The strong luminosity evolution of QSOs means that this is approximately equivalent to analysing the data as a function of absolute magnitude relative to M* over the redshift range that the 2QZ probes. Over the relatively narrow range in apparent magnitude of the 2QZ we find no significant (>2sigma) variation in the strength of clustering, however, there is marginal evidence for QSOs with brighter apparent magnitudes having a stronger clustering amplitude.

description: We constrain the spectral index of polarized synchrotron emission, $β_s$, by correlating the recently released 2.3 GHz S-Band Polarization All Sky Survey (S-PASS) data with the 23 GHz 9-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) sky maps. We subdivide the S-PASS field, which covers the southern ecliptic hemisphere, into 95 $15^{\circ}\times15^{\circ}$ regions and estimate the spectral index of polarized synchrotron emission within each region using a simple but robust T-T plot technique. Three different versions of the S-PASS data are considered, corresponding to: no correction for Faraday rotation; Faraday correction based on the rotation measure model presented by the S-PASS team; or Faraday correction based on a rotation measure model presented by Hutschenreuter and Enßlin. We find that the correlation between S-PASS and WMAP is strongest when applying the S-PASS model. Adopting this correction model, we find that the mean spectral index of polarized synchrotron emission gradually steepens from $β_s\approx-2.8$ at low Galactic latitudes to $β_s\approx-3.3$ at high Galactic latitudes, in good agreement with previously published results. Finally, we consider two special cases defined by the BICEP2 and SPIDER fields and obtain mean estimates of $β_{BICEP2}=-3.22\pm0.06$ and $β_{SPIDER}=-3.21\pm0.03$, respectively. A comparison with a similar analysis performed in the 23-33 GHz range suggests a flattening of about $Δβ_s \sim 0.1 \pm 0.2$ from low to higher frequencies, but with no statistical significance due to high uncertainties.

description: We present high-quality Keck telescope spectroscopic observations of the two metal-deficient blue compact dwarf (BCD) galaxies Tol 1214-277 and Tol 65. These data are used to derive the heavy-element and helium abundances. We find that the oxygen abundances in Tol 1214-277 and Tol 65 are the same, 12+logO/H=7.54+/-0.01, or Zsun/24, despite the different ionization conditions in these galaxies. The nitrogen-to-oxygen abundance ratio in both galaxies is logN/O=-1.64+/-0.02 and lies in the narrow range found for the other most metal-deficient BCDs. We use the five strongest HeI emission lines 3889, 4471, 5876, 6678 and 7065, to correct self-consistently their intensities for collisional and fluorescent enhancement mechanisms and to derive the He abundance. Underlying stellar absorption is found to be important for the HeI 4471 emission line in both galaxies, being larger in Tol 65. The weighted He mass fractions in Tol 1214-277 and Tol 65 are respectively Y=0.2458+/-0.0039 and 0.2410+/-0.0050 when the three HeI emission lines, 4471, 5876 and 6678, are used, and are, respectively, 0.2466+/-0.0043 and 0.2463+/-0.0057 when the HeI 4471 emission line is excluded. These values are in very good agreement with recent measurements of the He mass fraction in others of the most metal-deficient BCDs by Izotov and coworkers. We find that the combined effect of the systematic uncertainties due to the underlying HeI stellar absorption lines, ionization and temperature structure of the HII region and collisional excitation of the hydrogen emission lines is likely small, not exceeding ~2% (the error is 2sigma). Our results support the validity of the standard big bang model of nucleosynthesis.

description: Making disguise between real and fake news propagation through online social networks is an important issue in many applications. The time gap between the news release time and detection of its label is a significant step towards broadcasting the real information and avoiding the fake. Therefore, one of the challenging tasks in this area is to identify fake and real news in early stages of propagation. However, there is a trade-off between minimizing the time gap and maximizing accuracy. Despite recent efforts in detection of fake news, there has been no significant work that explicitly incorporates early detection in its model. In this paper, we focus on accurate early labeling of news, and propose a model by considering earliness both in modeling and prediction. The proposed method utilizes recurrent neural networks with a novel loss function, and a new stopping rule. Given the context of news, we first embed it with a class-specific text representation. Then, we utilize the available public profile of users, and speed of news diffusion, for early labeling of the news. Experiments on real datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our model both in terms of early labelling and accuracy, compared to the state of the art baseline and models.

Probing environmental quenching in the Fornax cluster through a population-orbital superposition method

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: Recent observations of gas metallicities in cluster galaxies have provided tentative evidence of slow-then-rapid quenching: when galaxies enter the cluster their external gas supply is cut off, but star formation in a disk continues for another 1-2 Gyr before suddenly quenched (e.g., Maier et al. 2019). Environmental quenching can thus be probed by the age and metallicities of the stars in these 'residual' disks. The problem, however, is to extract the age and metallicity of these particular disk stars from the rest of the galaxy, which are mixed along line-of-sight. We overcome this difficulty by applying the recently developed population-orbit superposition method (Zhu+2020) to each of 23 early-type galaxies in Fornax cluster observed by MUSE/VLT. Our preliminary results suggest that star formation in disks could last for ~2 Gyrs after infall or even continue till today, depending on a galaxy's location in the cluster and its content of gas before falling into the cluster.

description: Ovarian cancer is a common gynecologic cancer with a high rate of recurrence, drug resistance, and mortality, thereby necessitating novel molecular target therapies. Ovarian cancer as a solid tumor has constantly been challenged by endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS). Currently, XBP1 as a therapeutic target in solid tumors plays a key role in adaptation to ERS. Single-stranded RNAs usually modulate posttranscriptional of the gene activity. miR-30c-2-3p has been demonstrated to inhibit the expression of XBP1. Here, we evaluated the effect of miR-30c-2-3p on controlling XBP1-CHOP-BIM and its apoptotic effects on ovarian cancer cell lines during ERS. The ER stress was assessed using Thioflavin T staining in OVCAR3 and SKOV3 cells. The expression of ER stress genes was measured by QRT-PCR. The protein levels of XBP1(s), BIP/GRP78, CHOP, and BIM were evaluated using Western blotting. Cell viability and apoptosis in STF-083010 and Tunicamycin (Tm) co-treated cells were evaluated using BrdU, MTT, Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, and caspase-12 and -3 activities assays. We found that miR-30c-2-3p significantly decreased the folding capacity of ER, leading to ERS intensification (P<0.05). Additionally, the Western blot analysis showed the modest up-regulation of CHOP and BIM with pro-apoptotic activity and down-regulation of the BIP protein. Furthermore, mimic miR-30c-2-3p transfection not only decreased cell proliferation but also induced cell death in ovarian cancer cells in response to the Tm-treatment. Our results indicated that the apoptotic pathway was induced possibly through activation of caspases -12 and -3 and elevation of the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Overall, the present paper adds new evidence to the possible treatment of miR-30c-2-3p via impeding the XBP1 transcription in ovarian cancer cells provoking apoptotic pathways by XBP1/CHOP/BIM mediators.

description: Based on the self-consistent $T$-matrix approximation, the quantum interference (QI) effect is studied with the diagrammatic technique in weakly-disordered two-dimensional crystals with nearly half-filled bands. In addition to the usual 0-mode cooperon and diffuson, there exist $π$-mode cooperon and diffuson in the unitary limit due to the particle-hole symmetry. The diffusive $π$-modes are gapped by the deviation from the exactly-nested Fermi surface. The conductivity diagrams with the gapped $π$-mode cooperon or diffuson are found to give rise to unconventional features of the QI effect. Besides the inelastic scattering, the thermal fluctuation is shown to be also an important dephasing mechanism in the QI processes related with the diffusive $π$-modes. In the proximity of the nesting case, a power-law anti-localization effect appears due to the $π$-mode diffuson. For large deviation from the nested Fermi surface, this anti-localization effect is suppressed, and the conductivity remains to have the usual logarithmic weak-localization correction contributed by the 0-mode cooperon. As a result, the dc conductivity in the unitary limit becomes a non-monotonic function of the temperature or the sample size, which is quite different from the prediction of the usual weak-localization theory.

description: This paper develops a non-separable household production model capable of analysing the effects of the 2003 CAP reform, and especially EU farm payments, on individual Dutch dairy farms. Model results show that the 2003 CAP reform farm payments do not fully compensate the income loss caused by the milk price decrease. This implies that savings, and therefore, investment decreases. Investment shifts away from on-farm investment to off-farm investment. On-farm investment in milk quotas falls compared to investment in capital and land because the shadow price of milk quotas decreases relatively to the shadow prices of land and capital.

description: Following a bivariate probit approach and using the 1996 survey conducted by the Italian Institute for the Studies of Agricultural Markets (ISMEA) in Italy, this study shows that the effective pollution of Italian farm-households depends on both the actual level of pollution, calculated using the OECD “Environmental Indicators for Agriculture” (1997, 1999, 2001a, b), as well as the level of environmental concern, measured using the survey information about the adoption of environmentally sensitivity technology and production techniques. Omission of the level of environmental concern from the estimation of effective pollution probability yields evidence of policy unfairness in the allocations of subsidies between farms. This evidence, however, disappears when the level of actual pollution and environmental concern are estimated jointly in a bivariate framework. In addition, the study shows that geographic location of the farm, the common market organizations and the farm types play a significant roles in the determination of the level of effective pollution.

description: Production of synthetic fuels and chemicals in a closed carbon cycle economy is one of the main challenges concerning climate change. In order to convert biomass residues to high-density fuels, the bioliq process has been realised at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). Between 2005 and 2013, all stages of the process were developed and commissioned including the bioliq entrained flow gasifier (bioliq EFG). During the design phase in 2008/2009, a basic numerical model of the bioliq EFG was already developed and its major limitations were identified. These include simplified sub-models for atomisation, for conversion of char, pyrolysis oil and suspensions thereof, for gas and particle radiation and for slagging at high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. Since 2013, many experimental bioliq EFG campaigns have been carried out and reliable experimental results have been obtained. In parallel, the work on the numerical model of the bioliq EFG has been resumed. This paper focusses on the status quo of the numerical model, on the accuracy of recent numerical results and on the challenges faced in the development of a CFD based tool for design and scale-up.
The numerical model is based on the RANS and the Euler-Lagrange approaches and assumes a steady-state. The rates of the gas reactions are described either using the eddy-dissipation-concept model in combination with a reaction mechanism or using a relaxation-to-chemical-equilibrium model. Gas radiation is calculated using the discrete ordinates model and a weighted-sum-of-grey-gas model. The latter assumes six gases (five grey gases and one clear gas) and has been obtained from accurate line-by-line calculations. Slagging is implemented as boundary condition assuming both the downwards axial slag flow and the radial heat flow through the slag layer as one-dimensional. Temperature profiles in the liquid and the solid slag layer and in the wall are predefined as linear.
The numerical results are reported for the bioliq EFG experiment V82.1 in which a model fuel (96 % ethylene glycol + 4 % A-glass) was applied. The results show that both the total heat extracted from the bioliq EFG and the gas composition at outlet can be predicted with good accuracy. Due to uncertainties in the prediction of particle deposition, some deviations are observed concerning both the local heat extracted by the six cooling segments and the slag thickness. Sensitivity studies show that simplifications of the gas reactions are acceptable.

In this paper we study how a precipitating electron beam can influence the line profiles of Ly_alpha, H_alpha, Ca II K and Ca II 8542. We use a model atmosphere of a dMe star and make non-LTE computations taking into account the non-thermal collisional rates due to the electron beam. The results show that the four lines can be enhanced to different extents. The relative enhancement increases with increasing formation height of the lines. Varying the energy flux of the electron beam has different effects on the four lines. The wings of Ly_alpha and H_alpha become increasingly broad with the beam flux; change of the Ca II K and Ca II 8542 lines, however, is most significant in the line centre. Varying the electron energy (i.e., the low-energy cut-off for a power law beam) has a great influence on the Ly_alpha line, but little on the H_alpha and Ca II lines. An electron beam of higher energy precipitates deeper, thus producing less enhancement of the Ly_alpha line. The Ly_alpha/H_alpha flux ratio is thus sensitive to the electron energy.

description: This paper introduces an algorithmic approach to the analysis of bifurcation of limit cycles from the centers of nonlinear continuous differential systems via the averaging method. We develop three algorithms to implement the averaging method. The first algorithm allows to transform the considered differential systems to the normal formal of averaging. Here, we restricted the unperturbed term of the normal form of averaging to be identically zero. The second algorithm is used to derive the computational formulae of the averaged functions at any order. The third algorithm is based on the first two algorithms that determines the exact expressions of the averaged functions for the considered differential systems. The proposed approach is implemented in Maple and its effectiveness is shown by several examples. Moreover, we report some incorrect results in published papers on the averaging method.

description: Quantum chromodynamics is a non-Abelian gauge theory of strong interactions, in which the parity symmetry can be violated by the non-trivial $θ$-vacuum tunneling effects. The $θ$-vacuum induces the local parity odd domains. Those reactions that occur in these domains can be affected by the tunneling effects and quantities become parity odd. In this paper we consider the fragmentation process where parity odd fragmentation functions are introduced. We present the fragmentation functions by decomposing the quark-quark correlator. Among the total 16 fragmentation functions, 8 of them are parity conserved, and the others are parity violated. They have a one-to-one correspondence. Positivity bounds of these one dimensional fragmentation functions are shown. To be explicit, we also introduce a operator definition of the parity odd correlator. According to the definition, we give a proof that the parity odd fragmentation functions are local quantities and vanish when sum over all the hadrons h.

description: We present a detailed spectral and temporal study of the intermediate-type blazar ON 231 during the TeV outburst phase in 2008 June with observations performed by Swift and XMM-Newton. The X-ray flux of the source, which was significantly dominated by the soft photons (below $3-4$ keV), varies between 27$\%$ and 38$\%$ on day timescales, while mild variations were observed in the optical/UV emissions. We found a maximum soft lag of $\sim 1$ hr between the UV and soft X-ray bands, which can be understood if the magnetic field of the emitting region is $\sim 5.6~ δ^{-1/3}$ G. The $0.6-10$ keV spectra can be well represented by a broken power-law model, which indicates the presence of both synchrotron and inverse Compton components in the studied X-ray regime. The synchrotron part of the SEDs constructed with simultaneous optical/UV and X-ray data follows a log-parabolic shape. A time-resolved spectral analysis shows that the break energy varies significantly between 2.4 and 7.3 keV with the changing flux state of the source, and the similar variations of the spectral slopes of the two components support the SSC scenario. The synchrotron tail, following a log-parabolic function, shows that the peak frequency ($ν_{p}$) varies by two orders of magnitude ($\sim 10^{14}-10^{16}$ Hz) during the event. A significantly positive $E_{p}-β$ relation is observed from both SED and time-resolved spectral analyses. The most feasible scenario for the observed trend during the flaring event could be associated with a magnetic-field-driven stochastic process evolving toward an equilibrium energy level.

description: I will present advanced dynamical models that can convert the stellar kinematics observed by IFU instruments to phase-space quantities like energy and angular momentum which remain largely conserved. In addition, these models can include the observed ages and chemical properties of stars which are also conserved. The resulting populationdynamical models allow us then to uncover even those accretion events which are now fully dispersed. In this talk, I will focus on our recent discovery of an ancient massive merger in the Fornax lenticular galaxy NGC1380 observed by MUSE/VLT. By the end, I aim to have demonstrated that these models provide a unique bridge between the studies of resolved stars in the Milky Way and integrated-light of high(er)-redshift galaxies. Together with direct coupling to state-of-the-art galaxy formation simulations, these populationdynamical models enable us to uncover the hierarchical build-up of galaxies in a cosmological context.

description: In this paper, a brief overview on different economic aspects of greenhouse gas emission abatement in European agriculture is given. Three different typologies of emission mitigation approaches are defined and analysed from a modelling perspective: structural, management and technological measures. Their practical implementation in the CAPRI model is then presented and some selected model results used to analyse the following questions: what is the effect of emission abatement regulation on European agriculture? Are there any indirect environmental benefits to be expected from current CAP reform?

X-Ray Scaling Relations of Galaxy Groups in a Hydrodynamic Cosmological Simulation

description: We examine the scalings of X-ray luminosity, temperature, and dark matter or galaxy velocity dispersion for galaxy groups in an LCDM cosmological simulation, which incorporates gravity, gas dynamics, radiative cooling, and star formation, but no substantial non-gravitational heating. In agreement with observations, the simulated L_X-sigma and L_X-T_X relations are steeper than those predicted by adiabatic simulations or self-similar models, with L_X\propto sigma^{4.4} and L_X\propto T_X^{2.6} for massive groups and significantly steeper relations below a break at sigma~180 km/s (T_X~0.7 keV), but T_X-sigma is fairly close to self-similar, with T_X\propto sigma^{1.75}. The entropy of hot gas in low mass groups is higher than predicted by self-similar scaling, and agrees with observations that suggest an "entropy floor". The steeper scalings of the luminosity relations are driven by radiative cooling, which reduces the hot gas fraction from 50% of the total baryons at sigma \approx 500 km/s to 20% at sigma \approx 100 km/s. A secondary effect is that hot gas in smaller systems is less clumpy, further driving down L_X. A smaller volume simulation with eight times higher mass resolution predicts nearly identical X-ray luminosities at a given group mass, demonstrating the insensitivity of the predicted scaling relations to numerical resolution. There remain some quantitative discrepancies: the predicted mass scale of the L_X-T_X and L_X-sigma breaks is somewhat too low, and the luminosity-weighted temperatures are too high at a given sigma. We conclude that radiative cooling has an important quantitative impact on group X-ray properties and can account for many of the observed trends that have been interpreted as evidence for non-gravitational heating.

description: We measure the impacts of irrigation development on poverty and income inequality in a frontier region of the Philippines. Using household panel data we measure changes in standard poverty measures and income inequality over the period 1995–2002. We make comparisons within the beneficiary community and between the beneficiary community and an adjacent community that, while not affected directly by irrigation services, was indirectly affected through expanded labor market opportunities arising from irrigation. Results of the analyses, including poverty and inequality decompositions, suggest lowland irrigation development led to reduced income inequality and lower rates of poverty in the lowland community, reduced inequality and lower rates of poverty for the group of upland households who participated in off-farm work on irrigated lowland farms, and higher overall income inequality between the lowland and upland communities.
N-Body Code with Adaptive Mesh Refinement

description: We have developed a simulation code with the techniques which enhance both spatial and time resolution of the PM method for which the spatial resolution is restricted by the spacing of structured mesh. The adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) technique subdivides the cells which satisfy the refinement criterion recursively. The hierarchical meshes are maintained by the special data structure and are modified in accordance with the change of particle distribution. In general, as the resolution of the simulation increases, its time step must be shortened and more computational time is required to complete the simulation. Since the AMR enhances the spatial resolution locally, we reduce the time step locally also, instead of shortening it globally. For this purpose we used a technique of hierarchical time steps (HTS) which changes the time step, from particle to particle, depending on the size of the cell in which particles reside. Some test calculations show that our implementation of AMR and HTS is successful. We have performed cosmological simulation runs based on our code and found that many of halo objects have density profiles which are well fitted to the universal profile proposed by Navarro, Frenk, & White (1996) over the entire range of their radius.
