description: We perform the first statistical combined analysis of the diffuse neutrino flux observed by ANTARES (nine-year) and IceCube (six-year) by assuming a single astrophysical power-law flux. The combined analysis reduces by a few percent the best-fit values for the flux normalization and the spectral index. Both data samples show an excess in the same energy range (40--200 TeV), suggesting the presence of a second component. We perform a goodness-of-fit test to scrutinize the null assumption of a single power-law, scanning different values for the spectral index. The addition of the ANTARES data reduces the $p$-value by a factor 2$÷$3. In particular, a single power-law component in the neutrino flux with the spectral index deduced by the six-year up-going muon neutrinos of IceCube is disfavored with a $p$-value smaller than $10^{-2}$.

description: Considerable nitrogen (N) losses from intensive vegetable systems have become an important source of environmental damage. A high-efficiency N application to minimize N pollution and improve production is urgently needed. Here, we conducted field experiments to identify the effects of a single application of controlled-release urea (CRU), conventional urea (CU), and chicken manure (CM) on N losses and yields improvement in a greenhouse tomato system in Beijing, China. Five treatments were carried out: no N control (CK), lower rate of CRU with CU and CM (CRN1), medium rate of CRU with CU and CM (CRN2), higher rate of CRU with CU and CM (CRN3), and conventional fertilization (CN). The results showed that the single application of CRU, CU, and CM reduced the nitrate N concentration and N2O emissions by 22 to 79% and 39 to 51%, respectively, compared with the conventional fertilization . Based on the N application rate, the average nitrate N concentration showed an exponential increase, and the cumulative N2O emissions showed a linear increase. Compared to the CN treatment, the CRN1, CRN2, and CRN3 treatments decreased fertilization cost by 44%, 22%, and 3.4%, while raising yields by 9.6%, 17%, and 2.0%, respectively. The apparent N surplus of the CRN1 and CRN2 treatments was reduced by 39% and 13% relative to the CN treatment, whereas the CRN3 treatment was as high as that of the CN treatment. It can be concluded that applying CRU, CU, and CM at the higher rate hardly improved the yield but increased the risk of N losses, whereas the lower and medium rates of CRU could reduce N pollution and improve production. The CRN2 treatment, reducing the CRU rate by 25%, with the highest economic efficiency, was the best choice to achieve greater yields with less environmental impacts in greenhouse tomato systems.

description: Converging evidence from structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies points to amygdala alteration as crucial in the development of paediatric bipolar disorder (pBP). The high number of recent studies prompted us to comprehensively evaluate findings. We aimed to systematically review structural and functional MRI studies investigating the amygdala in patients with pBP and in youth at high-risk (HR) for developing pBP. We searched PubMed from any time to 25 September 2020 using: ‘amygdala AND (MRI OR magnetic resonance imaging) AND bipolar AND (pediatr* OR child OR children OR childhood OR adolescent OR adolescents OR adolescence OR young OR familial OR at-risk OR sibling* OR offspring OR high risk)’. In this review, we adhered to the PRISMA statement. Amygdala hyperactivity to emotional stimuli is the most commonly reported finding in youth with pBP and HR compared to healthy peers (HC), whereas findings from structural MRI studies are inconsistent. Hyperactivation of the amygdala might be an endophenotype of pBP.

Based on the constructed currents, we obtain new QCD SRs that have been used to extract the masses and the decay constants of the scalar exotic $0^{\pm-}$ glueballs. We estimate the masses for the scalar state and for the pseudoscalar state to be ${m_+=9.8^{+1.3}_{-1.4}}$ GeV and $m_-=6.8^{+1.1}_{-1.2}$ GeV.

My mother was called Mrs. Marion Rosa Coutts when she wrote the recollections. But her name before she married was Marion Feest. We were affected by the war even though we weren't alive then, because a lot of their experiences coloured ours. I find it extremely hard to waste food because we had such stories of privations, particularly about people overseas. In Mum's account, they couldn't buy household items they had to make do and mend and they passed that down to us. It is lovely to do this in Mums' memory. She would be pleased that we are doing this. She wrote this as an account and she gave it to me. It is an account for us to look on and to think.Children today have to think about the pandemic. For them, it was every day life.

description: The generalized diffusion equations with fractional order derivatives have shown be quite efficient to describe the diffusion in complex systems, with the advantage of producing exact expressions for the underlying diffusive properties. Recently, researchers have proposed different fractional-time operators (namely: the Caputo-Fabrizio and Atangana-Baleanu) which, differently from the well-known Riemann-Liouville operator, are defined by non-singular memory kernels. Here we proposed to use these new operators to generalize the usual diffusion equation. By analyzing the corresponding fractional diffusion equations within the continuous time random walk framework, we obtained waiting time distributions characterized by exponential, stretched exponential, and power-law functions, as well as a crossover between two behaviors. For the mean square displacement, we found crossovers between usual and confined diffusion, and between usual and sub-diffusion. We obtained the exact expressions for the probability distributions, where non-Gaussian and stationary distributions emerged. This former feature is remarkable because the fractional diffusion equation is solved without external forces and subjected to the free diffusion boundary conditions. We have further shown that these new fractional diffusion equations are related to diffusive processes with stochastic resetting, and to fractional diffusion equations with derivatives of distributed order. Thus, our results show that these new operators are a simple and efficient way for incorporating different structural aspects into the system, opening new possibilities for modeling and investigating anomalous diffusive processes.

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of the predictive monitoring of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) under granary conditions, since mycotoxin contamination of the stored grain represents an important issue. Using the storage test, we investigated the relationship between versicolorin A (Ver A, an intermediate in AFB1 biosynthesis) levels and the levels of aflatoxigenic fungi, and their relationship with aflatoxin production. All samples, except for one, were found to be contaminated with aflatoxigenic fungi using PCR analyses, while their AFB1 levels were not detectable before the storage test using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method with an LOD of 2 μg/kg. Aflatoxigenic fungi levels were analysed, as well as Ver A levels prior to the accumulation of AFB1 (Levels were ≥5 μg/kg; the permissible levels of AFB1 in corn intended for direct consumption are <5 μg/kg (EC)). Statistical analyses demonstrated that aflatoxin levels after both actual storage and safe storage (AFB1˂5μg/kg) times are significantly correlated with the Ver A levels and the changes in Ver A levels (ΔVer A). Both high and variable Ver A levels were indicative of the vigorous metabolic activity of aflatoxigenic fungi. In contrast, steady Ver A levels showed that aflatoxin production by the fungi was not active. Monitoring Ver A levels and their changes may allow an earlier detection of harmful aflatoxin contamination in the stored grain. Additionally, the toxicity of Ver A should be further examined. The results of our study indicate that the monitoring of Ver A levels, even when the AFB1 levels are very low, may increase the safety of grain consumption, especially considering Ver A toxicity.

description: Modularization is a promising technology to respond to short product life cycles. Not only in production but also in the laboratory, the concept of modularization can help to quickly explore new products or processes. A modular continuously operated spinning-band distillation column for small product amounts is presented and characterized regarding operating window and separation efficiency. The column can be used either for first product amounts within a small-scale production or as feasibility studies for distillation in a scale-up context with small amounts of resources, energy, and time. By introducing the modular automation concept and a certain degree of automation structures, this column can be operated almost fully automatically and integrated quickly to higher automation structures such as a process orchestration layer.

Practically secure quantum position verification

description: We discuss quantum position verification (QPV) protocols in which the verifiers create and send single-qubit states to the prover. QPV protocols using single-qubit states are known to be insecure against adversaries that share a small number of entangled qubits. We introduce QPV protocols that are practically secure: they only require single-qubit states from each of the verifiers, yet their security is broken if the adversaries share an impractically large number of shared entangled qubits. These protocols are a modification of known QPV protocols in which we include a classical random oracle without altering the amount of quantum resources needed by the verifiers. We present a cheating strategy that requires a number of entangled qubits shared among the adversaries that grows exponentially with the size of the classical input of the random oracle.

description: Circulating cell-free mitochondrial DNA (ccf-mtDNA) are detectable fragments of mtDNA released from the cell as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction or apoptosis. The brain is one of the most energy demanding organs in the human body, and many neuropsychiatric and non-psychiatric neurological diseases have mitochondrial dysfunction associated with disease pathophysiology. Thus, we aimed to assess ccf-mtDNA as a potential biomarker for brain diseases. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analyses of studies that examined peripheral and/or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ccf-mtDNA relevant to neuropsychiatric, which we define as disorders of affect, behaviour and mood, and non-psychiatric neurological diseases, which consist of neurological diseases not related to psychiatry including neurodegenerative diseases. Results: The results of the sensitivity analysis investigating the levels of peripheral ccf-mtDNA in neuropsychiatric studies showed no significant difference between cases and controls (Z = 1.57; p = 0.12), whereas the results of the sensitivity analysis investigating the levels of CSF ccf-mtDNA in non-psychiatric neurological diseases showed a decreasing trend in cases compared with controls (Z = 2.32; p = 0.02). Interestingly, the results indicate an overall mitochondrial stress associated mainly with non-psychiatric neurological diseases. Conclusions: Our study supports the involvement of mitochondrial stress, here defined as ccf-mtDNA, in brain diseases and encourage further investigation of ccf-mtDNA among patients with brain diseases.

description: With legal frameworks changing and secure access systems developing, highly detailed administrative data and surveys can increasingly be utilized for research and evidence-based policy. However, using these data, nationally and even more so internationally, remains a real challenge as they are often kept in silos between research data centers (RDCs).

 This panel session features recent Initiatives aiming to overcome barriers by building agreements and operational frameworks between RDCs at different levels and in various contexts of cooperation: 1) the ‘International Data Access Network’ (IDAN), a cooperative network of six RDCs from France, Germany, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom, 2) the ‘International Network for Exchanging Experience on Statistical Handling of Granular Data’ (INEXDA), a cooperative project with focus on the handling of granular data for research purposes, involving various Central Banks and the European Central Bank (ECB), and 3) the National Statistical Offices of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, with a) the Nordic Microdata Access Network (NordMAN) and b) the development of a shared syntax for business data allowing for distributed micro data research.

 Panelists will present their pioneering developments, lessons learned and impact for research, followed by a discussion of possible solutions for international data access.
Antiferromagnetic nano-oscillator in external magnetic fields

description: We describe the dynamics of an antiferromagnetic nano-oscillator in an external magnetic field of any given time distribution. The oscillator is powered by a spin current originating from spin-orbit effects in a neighboring heavy metal layer, and is capable of emitting a THz signal in the presence of an additional easy-plane anisotropy. We derive an analytical formula describing the interaction between such a system and an external field, which can affect the output signal character. Interactions with magnetic pulses of different shapes, with a sinusoidal magnetic field and with a sequence of rapidly changing magnetic fields are discussed. We also perform numerical simulations based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation with spin-transfer torque effects to verify the obtained results and find a very good quantitative agreement between analytical and numerical predictions.

description: In the whisker-twisting world of artificial intelligence (AI), it is vital that responsible and ethical practices prevail. However, purr-suading stakeholders to embrace Responsible AI frameworks can feel like herding cats   and with such a breadth of frameworks available, it can feel impossible to get started right meow. We propose using cattitude to shed light on the importance of transparency, explainability, accountability, fairness, and privacy in AI development.

Art poses a memorable and accessible way to communicate complex and serious ideas to a breadth of audiences. In this talk, we offer a cat-comic based overview of the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) framework for implementing responsible, explainable, and ethical AI. We ll also discuss the hiss-conceptions and challenges of implementing these frameworks in the eResearch environment, such as the abstract nature of most frameworks, and the difficulty of realistically meeting these guidelines when funding timelines are short.

Whether you're a curious kitten or a seasoned alley cat, this session is a unique crash course in preventing cat-astrophe when developing AI systems.

description: Babassu was studied as a vegetable filler in a blend consisting of polybutyrate adipate terephthalate and polylactic acid aiming at preparation of bio-based and biodegradable films by solvent casting. The morphology, thermal, and mechanical properties were investigated with optical, thermoanalytical, and spectroscopic methods and correlated with the sample setup. Although only laboratory scale for film production has been applied in this work, the results suggest that the composite PBAT/PLA with 10% Babassu may be a suitable material for the application as agricultural mulch films. Such Babassu-based films would be environmentally friendly and cost-effective at the same time.

description: We study the dynamic spin structure factor of the spin-$1/2$ square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet and of the $J$-$Q$ model (with 4-spin interactions $Q$ and Heisenberg exchange $J$). Using an improved method for stochastic analytic continuation of imaginary-time correlation functions computed with QMC simulations, we can treat the sharp ($δ$-function) contribution from spinwaves (magnons) and a continuum at higher energy. The results for the Heisenberg model agree with neutron scattering experiments on Cu(DCOO)$_2$$\cdot$4D$_2$O, where a broad spectral-weight continuum at $q=(π,0)$ was interpreted as deconfined spinons. Our results at $(π,0)$ show a similar reduction of the magnon weight and a large continuum, while the continuum is much smaller at $q=(π/2,π/2)$ (as also seen experimentally). Turning on $Q$, we observe a rapid reduction of the $(π,0)$ magnon weight to zero, well before the deconfined quantum phase transition into a spontaneously dimerized state. We re-interpret the picture of deconfined spinons at $(π,0)$ in the experiments as nearly deconfined spinons---a precursor to deconfined quantum criticality. To further elucidate the picture of a fragile $(π,0)$-magnon in the Heisenberg model and its depletion in the $J$-$Q$ model, we introduce an effective model in which a magnon can split into two spinons that do not separate but fluctuate in and out of the magnon space (in analogy with the resonance between a photon and a particle-hole pair in the exciton-polariton problem). The model reproduces the $(π,0)$ and $(π/2,π/2)$ features of the Heisenberg model. It can also account for the rapid loss of the $(π,0)$ magnon with increasing $Q$ and a remarkable persistence of a large magnon pole at $q=(π/2,π/2)$ even at the deconfined critical point.

description: We prove the longstanding physics conjecture that there exists a unique two-parameter $\mathcal{W}_{\infty}$-algebra which is freely generated of type $\mathcal{W}(2,3,\dots)$, and generated by the weights $2$ and $3$ fields. Subject to some mild constraints, all vertex algebras of type $\mathcal{W}(2,3,\dots, N)$ for some $N$ can be obtained as quotients of this universal algebra. As an application, we show that for $n\geq 3$, the structure constants for the principal $\mathcal{W}$-algebras $\mathcal{W}^k(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_n, f_{\text{prin}})$ are rational functions of $k$ and $n$, and we classify all coincidences among the simple quotients $\mathcal{W}^k(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_n, f_{\text{prin}})$ for $n\geq 2$. We also obtain many new coincidences between $\mathcal{W}^k(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{l}_n, f_{\text{prin}})$ and other vertex algebras of type $\mathcal{W}(2,3,\dots, N)$ which arise as cosets of affine vertex algebras or nonprincipal $\mathcal{W}$-algebras

Shortcuts to adiabaticity applied to nonequilibrium entropy production: An information geometry viewpoint

description: We apply the method of shortcuts to adiabaticity to nonequilibrium systems. For unitary dynamics, the system Hamiltonian is separated into two parts. One of them defines the adiabatic states for the state to follow and the nonadiabatic transitions are prevented by the other part. This property is implemented to the nonequilibrium entropy production and we find that the entropy is separated into two parts. The separation represents the Pythagorean theorem for the Kullback-Leibler divergence and an information-geometric interpretation is obtained. We also study a lower bound of the entropy, which is applied to derive a trade-off relation between time, entropy and state distance.

Video Game Data - The Untouched Potential of the Gamer as a Data-Generator
Creators: name: Fleet, Robert
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019
Subjects: video games
organized criminal behaviors
data sources

description: While there has been a wealth of research on video games themselves and on gamers' behaviors within games there has been little scholarship on how researchers can use gamer behavior as a data source for social science outside of simple logic and ethics games. The author's current research project uses video game data as a proxy to study organized criminal behaviors that would be otherwise difficult to observe in the real world. The use of video game data provides researchers with a new way of understanding behavior in controlled and manipulatable environments. Video games, therefore, occupy the space between traditional vignette studies and agent-based modeling. The presentation talks about the benefits and drawbacks encountered when using data sourced in such a way. There are inherent methodological advantages and disadvantages to the data that have been gathered which in turn need to be overcome in the research design. Additionally, there are larger ontological and conceptual issues to overcome in drawing the parallels between what happens in-game and what people would actually do in real life. For the game developer and players, there are some issues in regards to data ownership, and the use of game APIs in ways that were not intended. The presentation concludes with some thought on how video game developers and researchers can make video games better social science tools.

description: We initiate a study of the representation of the symmetric group on the multilinear component of an $n$-ary generalization of the free Lie algebra, which we call a free LAnKe. Our central result is that the representation of the symmetric group $S_{2n-1}$ on the multilinear component of the free LAnKe with $2n-1$ generators is given by an irreducible representation whose dimension is the $n$th Catalan number. This leads to a more general result on eigenspaces of a certain linear operator, which has additional consequences. We also obtain a new presentation of Specht modules of staircase shape as a consequence of our central result.

Differentiability and Hölder spectra of a class of self-affine functions

Subjects: subject: Classical Analysis and ODEs (math.CA)

description: This paper studies a large class of continuous functions $f:[0,1]\to\mathbb{R}^d$ whose range is the attractor of an iterated function system $\{S_1,\dots,S_{m}\}$ consisting of similitudes. This class includes such classical examples as Pólya's space-filling curves, the Riesz-Nagy singular functions and Okamoto's functions. The differentiability of $f$ is completely classified in terms of the contraction ratios of the maps $S_1,\dots,S_{m}$. Generalizing results of Lax (1973) and Okamoto (2006), it is shown that either (i) $f$ is nowhere differentiable; (ii) $f$ is non-differentiable almost everywhere but with uncountably many exceptions; or (iii) $f$ is differentiable almost everywhere but with uncountably many exceptions. The Hausdorff dimension of the exceptional sets in cases (ii) and (iii) above is calculated, and more generally, the complete multifractal spectrum of $f$ is determined.

Gravity-induced dynamics of a squirmer microswimmer in wall proximity

description: We perform hydrodynamic simulations using the method of multi-particle collision dynamics and a theoretical analysis to study a single squirmer microswimmer at high Péclet number, which moves in a low Reynolds number fluid and under gravity. The relevant parameters are the ratio $α$ of swimming to bulk sedimentation velocity and the squirmer type $β$. The combination of self-propulsion, gravitational force, hydrodynamic interactions with the wall, and thermal noise leads to a surprisingly diverse behavior. At $α> 1$ we observe cruising states, while for $α<1$ the squirmer resides close to the bottom wall with the motional state determined by stable fixed points in height and orientation. They strongly depend on the squirmer type $β$. While neutral squirmers permanently float above the wall with upright orientation, pullers float for $α$ larger than a threshold value $α_{\mathrm{th}}$ and are pinned to the wall below $α_{\mathrm{th}}$. In contrast, pushers slide along the wall at lower heights, from which thermal orientational fluctuations drive them into a recurrent floating state with upright orientation, where they remain on the timescale of orientational persistence.
title: Reconciling nation and state: Glafkos Clerides and political transformation in Cyprus
Creators: name: Fokaides, Christoforos
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2014

description: Conventional wisdom holds that ethnic nationalism is incompatible with politics of compromise and reconciliation in conflict-ridden societies. This dissertation provides empirical evidence to the contrary by examining the revision of Greek unionist nationalism in Cyprus, under the transformative leadership of former Cypriot president Glafkos Clerides. The first part of the dissertation focuses on the development of various manifestations of nationalism in the Greek Cypriot community, highlighting particularly the limitations hindering the development of a civic form of nationalism in the island. The second part of the dissertation focuses on Clerides’ liberal brand of ethnic nationalism and argues that the former Cypriot leader provides an insightful example of how liberal nationalism can be combined with policies of compromise and peace building, informing relevant literature, which has provided considerable theoretical insight but lacks sufficient empirical evidence. Based on the work of Yack (2012) and others (Beissinger 2008; Kymlicka 1996), this dissertation argues that while several myths and certain significant limitations hindered the development of Cypriotism, Clerides’ liberal brand of ethnic nationalism was able to facilitate reconciliation and accommodate federalism in Cyprus. To support this argument, the dissertation relies on the hitherto unpublished archive of Democratic Rally and personal interviews with Clerides and several of his associates and critics. Specifically, it demonstrates how Clerides’ transformative leadership led to the revision of Greek unionist nationalism in the post-1974 era. Coming to terms with the intransigent ethnic ‘unionist’ legacy of the Right, historically associated with the goal of union with Greece, Clerides led the way to the revision of Greek nationalism and was the first to endorse federalism in the Greek Cypriot community. Yet Clerides’ political transformation did not aim at abandoning nationalist sentiments and symbols. His perception of a federal state as a multinational entity, allowed him not to undermine the two national communities of the island in its effort to promote a single Cypriot polity. In this context, the linkage of a federal solution with the accession of Cyprus to a federal Europe became a key component of his policy for the solution of the Cyprus problem. In view of current negotiations, the political legacy of Clerides can be informative for stakeholders, both inside and outside the island.
Updates on ICPSR's Social Media Archive (SOMAR)

description: Social media are implicated in many of contemporary society’s most pressing issues, from influencing public opinion, to organizing social movements, to identifying economic trends. Increasing the capacity of researchers to understand the dynamics of such phenomena will depend on reliable, curated, discoverable and accessible social media data. The technical and financial costs of retrieving, managing, and analyzing this data directly from social media platforms are prohibitive for many researchers. A federated archive of curated datasets, workflows, and code for use by researchers for the empirical analysis of social media platforms, content, and user behavior would alleviate many of the technical and financial challenges to using this data to advance scientific discovery. This presentation introduces a prototype social media archive (SOMAR) that federates researchers’ data to create a resource for conducting data-intensive research using data from social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram. We will demonstrate SOMAR’s core features and discuss future plans for its development.

Boundary conditions at the gas sectors of superhydrophobic grooves

description: The hydrodynamics of liquid flowing past gas sectors of unidirectional superhydrophobic surfaces is revisited. Attention is focussed on the local slip boundary condition at the liquid-gas interface, which is equivalent to the effect of a gas cavity on liquid flow. The system is characterized by a large viscosity contrast between liquid and gas, $μ/μ_g \gg 1$. We interpret earlier results, namely the dependence of the local slip length on the flow direction, in terms of a tensorial local slip boundary condition and relate the eigenvalues of the local slip length tensor to the texture parameters, such as the width of the groove, $δ$, and the local depth of the groove, $e(y, α)$. The latter varies in the direction $y$, orthogonal to the orientation of stripes, and depends on the bevel angle of groove's edges, $π/2 - α$, at the point, where three phases meet. Our theory demonstrates that when grooves are sufficiently deep their eigenvalues of the local slip length tensor depend only on $μ/μ_g$, $δ$, and $α$, but not on the depth. The eigenvalues of the local slip length of shallow grooves depend on $μ/μ_g$ and $e(y, α)$, although the contribution of the bevel angle is moderate. In order to assess the validity of our theory we propose a novel approach to solve the two-phase hydrodynamic problem, which significantly facilitates and accelerates calculations compared to conventional numerical schemes. The numerical results show that our simple analytical description obtained for limiting cases of deep and shallow grooves remains valid for various unidirectional textures.
