description: Radiation symmetry is briefly reviewed, along with its historical, experimental, computational, and theoretical relevance. A sketch of the proof of a theorem for radiation zeros is used to highlight the connection between gauge-boson couplings and Poincare transformations. It is emphasized that while mostly bad things happen to good zeros, the weak-boson self-couplings continue to be intimately tied to the best examples of exact or approximate zeros.

description: We show that the minimally coupled massless scalar wave equation in the background of an six-dimensional extremal dyonic string (or D1-D5 brane intersection) is exactly solvable, in terms of Mathieu functions. Using this fact, we calculate absorption probabilities for these scalar waves, and present the explicit results for the first few low energy corrections to the leading-order expressions. For a specific tuning of the dyonic charges one can reach a domain where the low energy absorption probability goes to zero with inverse powers of the logarithm of the energy. This is a dividing domain between the regime where the low energy absorption probability approaches zero with positive powers of energy and the regime where the probability is an oscillatory function of the logarithm of the energy. By the conjectured AdS/CFT correspondence, these results shed novel light on the strongly coupled two-dimensional field theory away from its infrared conformally invariant fixed point (the strongly coupled ``non-critical'' string).

Year: 2018

description: IRGC’s guidelines for the governance of systemic risks addresses the question of how to deal with systemic risks in the context of system transitions, i.e., in situations that require adaptation to new context conditions or transformation of an organisation or ecosystem. The guidelines comprise seven interlinked steps. The guidelines successful implementation depends on strong leadership and the willingness to adapt or revise processes, focus on mid- and long-term issues, and accept and resolve trade-offs.

description: Relativistic heavy-ion collisions provide an ideal environment to study the emergent phenomena in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is one of the most interesting, arising from the topological charge fluctuations of QCD vacua, immersed in a strong magnetic field. Since the first measurement nearly a decade ago of the possibly CME-induced charge correlation, extensive studies have been devoted to background contributions to those measurements. Many new ideas and techniques have been developed to reduce or eliminate the backgrounds. This article reviews these developments and the overall progress in the search for the CME.

description: The present study focused on the phytochemical chromatographic isolation of two chemical constituents, sterol and flavonoid (stigmasterol glucoside and luteolin) from Plectranthus asirensis. A novel, eco-friendly, and cost benefit, ultrasensitive sequential injection analysis chemiluminescence (SIA-CL) approach based on the enhanced catalytic activity of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was suggested to evaluate the isolated compounds. Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using the biomass of an ethanolic extract of aerial parts of P. asirensis as a reducing agent. Spectroscopic and microscopic characterization of the prepared AgNPs were performed, including UV-Vis spectrometry, XRD and FT-IR as well as TEM and SEM. UV-spectroscopic method detected the formed AgNPs at an absorbance wavelength of 420 nm. Furthermore, antioxidant activity of the isolated compounds was also determined using 1,1-Diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity protocol.

description: This thesis is an exploratory study of the experiences, opportunities, and difficulties encountered by female entrepreneurs in Bahrain. The principal objective of the research is to investigate and highlight the essential factors influencing the growth and success of women-owned businesses in the country. The study uses in-depth interviews and a qualitative research methodology to gather important information about the motives, personal experiences, and support systems of a sample of female SME business owners.The findings show that although Bahrain provides funding, networking opportunities, and training programs for women entrepreneurs, socio-cultural and structural barriers continue to exist and prevent women from realizing their full potential as entrepreneurs. This thesis amplifies the voices of female entrepreneurs and makes recommendations for policymakers and ecosystem contributors to enhance the entrepreneurial climate and create favorable conditions for women to flourish as business leaders. The study contributes to the limited body of information on female entrepreneurs in Bahrain and offers helpful suggestions for encouraging inclusive entrepreneurial development.
Characterization of hydraulic behavior of orifices in conduits
Creators: name: Adam, Nicolas Jean
Publisher: name: Lausanne, EPFL-LCH
Year: 2018

description: Surge tanks in high-head power plants ensure safe and flexible transient operation of the hydraulic machinery. Orifices or throttles in surge tanks are often critical structural elements in view of the good performance of surge tanks and the stability of the whole waterway system combined with hydraulic-mechanical equipment. The design and the dimensioning of orifices ore throttles placed at surge tanks has to be carried out with great care since a non-functioning of this critical structural elements can endanger the safe operation of the whole hydropower scheme. Orifices or throttles have to produce a distinct head loss for flow entering and leaving the surge tank. In the design, the best geometry has to be found which produces the desired head losses. The search of the most adapted geometry of the orifice or throttle is often challenging and has frequently to be complemented by systematic hydraulicmodel tests. In order to allow a preliminary design of orifices, Dr. Nicolas Adam studied for the first time systematically with laboratory experiments and numerical simulations a large number of different geometries of throttles, i.e. orifices. Based on the extensive catalogue of the orifice geometries tested and the developed empirical relationships, he could give efficient design guidelines based on empirical formulae and on a useful expert sheet in order to find efficiently the appropriate orifice geometry for a wished head loss. Dr. Adam studied also for the first time systematically the transient head losses through orifices. The systematical experiments and numerical simulations allowed also a better understanding of the hydraulic behavior of orifices in view of the influence length of the orifice i.e. the reattachment length of the jet leaving the orifice and associated risk of cavitation. Finally, Dr. Adam gives helpful practical recommendation for an efficient and safe design of orifices in surge tanks.
Extreme Hydrodynamic impact onto buildings
Creators: name: Wüthrich, Davide
Publisher: name: Lausanne, EPFL-LCH
Year: 2018

description: The catastrophic tsunami events in 2004 and 2011 revealed that buildings with large openings often resisted better to the hydrodynamic impact of the wave. The steel or concrete structure of the building remained intact and the upper floors could serve as shelters. Dr. Davide Wüthrich conducted a comprehensive and systematic experimental benchmark study in order to identify the effect of building openings on the hydrodynamic loadings during wave impact. A sophisticated experimental set-up was developed, which allowed to measure the dynamic forces acting on the building with a high acquisition frequency. Dr. Wüthrich used a novel methodology in order to hydraulically characterize the generated waves on a dry and a wet bed in terms of their water depths and flow velocities. Based on the experimental study, Dr. Wüthrich proposes new formulae, which allow to estimate the hydrodynamic loads on the building taking into account the effect of openings within an adapted resistance coefficient. This is an important information for designers in view of safer building infrastructures.

description: Background: The aims of this longitudinal study were to identify predictors for continued pornography consumption and to investigate pornography consumption in relation to psychosomatic and depressive symptoms among a group of adolescents in Sweden. Methods and materials: A longitudinal study in classroom environment in 53 randomly selected senior high school classes in mid-Sweden in years 2011 and 2013. Out of 477 participating boys and 400 girls in 2011, 224 boys (47%) and 238 girls (60%) participated in 2013. Results: Higher pornography consumption at baseline and being born outside Sweden predicted continued pornography consumption at follow-up (adjusted R2 = 0.689). Psychosomatic symptoms at follow-up were predicted by higher pornography consumption at baseline (adjusted R2 = 0.254), being a girl, living with separated parents, and attending a vocational high school program. By contrast, depressive symptoms at follow-up were predicted by less pornography consumption at baseline (adjusted R2 = 0.122) and being a girl. Conclusions: Pornography consumption may, for some individuals, be associated to mental health issues. Differences between teenage boys and girls and between adolescents with diverse ethnic backgrounds imply that counseling and discussion about pornography need to be adjusted and individualized.
Charge conserving approximation for excitation properties of crystalline materials

description: A charge conserving approximation scheme determining the excitations of crystalline solids is proposed. Like other such approximations, it relies on "downfolding" of the original microscopic model to a simpler electronic model on the lattice with pairwise interactions. A systematic truncation of the set of Dyson - Schwinger equations for correlators of the low energy (downfolded) model of a material, supplemented by a "covariant" calculation of correlators lead to a converging series of approximates. The covariance preserves all the Ward identities among correlators describing various condensed matter probes. It is shown that the third order approximant of this kind beyond classical and gaussian (Hartree - Fock) is precise enough and due to several fortunate features the complexity of calculation is surprisingly low so that a realistic material computation is feasible. Focus here is on the electron field correlator describing the electron (hole) excitations measured in photoemission and other probes. The scheme is tested on several solvable benchmark models

description: This report presents key interdisciplinary insights from IRGC’s expert workshop on the governance of decision-making algorithms, with particular focus on automated decisions based on learning algorithms (DMLAs). It highlights, among others, the need to improve the accuracy of DMLAs; embed good standards, principles or governance rules into their very design and functioning; address algorithmic bias with unfair social consequences; better differentiate if and when humans are in control, or unable to take control back; govern distinct risks arising by application or domain (e.g. DMLAs in healthcare/automated driving/predictive policy-making/insurance, etc.); better state key benchmarks against which DMLAs’ performance must be calibrated; better define accountability, responsibility and liabilities; and emphasize the centrality of digital trust.

IRGC Resource Guide on Resilience (Volume 2)

Year: 2018

description: Volume 2 of the IRGC Resource Guide on Resilience provides an in-depth and pragmatic evaluation of concepts and methods for resilience-based approaches in contrast to risk-based approaches, as proposed and practised in different domains of science and practice. Adequate articulation of risk and resilience is key to ensure security in systems. The guide also considers possible drawbacks of resilience, such as if efforts to improve resilience diverts attention from core functions of risk management, or from the need to discourage inappropriate risk-seeking behaviour. Some of the papers in Volume 2 also discuss the relevance and role of resilience as a strategy to address the challenges posed by systemic risks that develop in complex adaptive systems (CAS). Such systems are interconnected, with the result that risks can cascade within and between systems. Resilience can help navigate dynamic changes in CAS, as those evolve in response to internal and external shocks and stresses.

description: Typhoid fever, caused by Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, presents a substantial global health threat, particularly in regions with limited healthcare infrastructure. The rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains of S. Typhi exacerbates this challenge, severely compromising conventional treatment efficacy due to the mechanisms facilitated by efflux pumps, which actively expel antibiotics. In our study, a comprehensive exploration targeting two fundamental aspects of combatting MDR in S. Typhi is carried out; firstly, employing advanced bioinformatics analyses and AlphaFold AI, we successfully identified and characterised a putative homologue, ABC-TPA, reminiscent of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) known for its role in multidrug resistance in diverse pathogens. This discovery provides a critical foundation for understanding the potential mechanisms driving antibiotic resistance in S. Typhi. Furthermore, employing computational methodologies, we meticulously assessed the potential of lignans, specifically Schisandrin A, B, and C, as promising Efflux Pump Inhibitors (EPIs) against the identified P-gp homologue in S. Typhi. Noteworthy findings revealed robust binding interactions of Schisandrin A and B with the target protein, indicating substantial inhibitory capabilities. In contrast, Schisandrin C exhibited instability, signalling varied effectiveness among the evaluated lignans. Pharmacokinetic and toxicity predictions underscored the favourable attributes of Schisandrin A, including prolonged action duration. They diminished acute toxicity, amplifying its potential as a potent inhibitor against MDR strains of S. Typhi. This comprehensive investigation not only elucidates potential therapeutic strategies against MDR strains of S. Typhi but also highlights the relevance of computational approaches in identifying and evaluating promising candidates. These findings lay a robust foundation for future empirical studies to address the formidable challenges antibiotic resistance poses in this clinically significant infectious disease.
MATHICSE Technical Report : A stochastic collocation method for the second order wave equation with a discontiuous random speed
Creators: name: Motamed, Mohammad
name: Nobile, Fabio
name: Tempone, Raúl
Publisher: name: Écublens, MATHICSE
Year: 2019

description: In this paper we propose and analyze a stochastic collocation method for solving the second order wave equation with a random wave speed and subjected to deterministic boundary and initial conditions. The speed is piecewise smooth in the physical space and depends on a finite number of random variables. The numerical scheme consists of a finite difference or finite element method in the physical space and a collocation in the zeros of suitable tensor product orthogonal polynomials (Gauss points) in the probability space. This approach leads to the solution of uncoupled deterministic problems as in the Monte Carlo method. We consider both full and sparse tensor product spaces of orthogonal polynomials. We provide a rigorous convergence analysis and demonstrate different types of convergence of the probability error with respect to the number of collocation points for full and sparse tensor product spaces and under some regularity assumptions on the data. In particular, we show that, unlike in elliptic and parabolic problems, the solution to hyperbolic problems is not in general analytic with respect to the random variables. Therefore, the rate of convergence may only be algebraic. An exponential/fast rate of convergence is still possible for some quantities of interest and for the wave solution with particular types of data. We present numerical examples, which confirm the analysis and show that the collocation method is a valid alternative to the more traditional Monte Carlo method for this class of problems.
The Distance of the Dark Matter Deficient Galaxy NGC1052-DF2

description: We recently inferred that the galaxy NGC1052-DF2 has little or no dark matter and a rich system of unusual globular clusters. We assumed that the galaxy is a satellite of the luminous elliptical galaxy NGC1052 at ~20 Mpc, on the basis of its surface brightness fluctuations (SBF) distance of $19.0 \pm 1.7$ Mpc, its radial velocity of ~1800 km/s, and its projected position. Here we analyze the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of NGC1052-DF2, following the suggestion by Trujillo et al. (2018) that the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) can be detected in currently available HST data and the galaxy is at ~13 Mpc. Using fully populated galaxy models we show that the CMD is strongly influenced by blends. These blends produce a "phantom" TRGB ~2 times brighter than the true TRGB, which can lead to erroneous distance estimates ~1.4 times smaller than the actual distance. We compare NGC1052-DF2 to model images as well as other galaxies in our HST sample, and show that the large population of unblended RGB stars expected for distances of ~13 Mpc is not detected. We also provide a new distance measurement to NGC1052-DF2 that is free of calibration uncertainties, by anchoring it to a satellite of the megamaser host galaxy NGC4258. From a megamaser-TRGB-SBF distance ladder we obtain $D=18.7 \pm 1.7$ Mpc, consistent with our previous measurement and with the distance to the elliptical galaxy NGC1052.
description: Accepted for publication in ApJ Letters. The key point of the paper is made in Figure 2. All data and models are available upon request. Minor changes compared to V1 make the paper more of a stand-alone analysis and less of a response to Trujillo et al. (2018).

description: Hysteresis loops and the associated avalanche statistics of spin systems, such as the random-field Ising and Edwards-Anderson spin-glass models, have been extensively studied. A particular focus has been on self-organized criticality, manifest in power-law distributions of avalanche sizes. Considerably less work has been done on the statistics of the times between avalanches. This paper considers this issue, generalizing the work of Nampoothiri et al. [Phys. Rev. E 96, 032107 (2017)] in one space dimension to higher space dimensions. In addition to the interevent statistics of all avalanches, we also consider what happens when events are restricted to those exceeding a certain threshold size. Doing so raises the possibility of altering the definition of time to count the number of small events between the large ones, which provides for an analog to the concept of natural time introduced by the geophysics community with the goal of predicting patterns in seismic events. We analyze the distribution of time and natural time intervals both in the case of models that include only nearest-neighbor interactions, as well as models with (sparse) long-range couplings.

description: We analyse the problem of approximating a multivariate function by discrete least-squares projection on a polynomial space starting from random, noise-free observations. An area of possible application of such technique is Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) for computational models. We prove an optimal convergence estimate, up to a logarithmic factor, in the monovariate case, when the observation points are sampled in a bounded domain from a probability density function bounded away from zero, provided the number of samples scales quadratically with the dimension of the polynomial space. Several numerical tests are presented both in the monovariate and multivariate case, confirming our theoretical estimates. The numerical tests also clarify how the convergence rate depends on the number of sampling points, on the polynomial degree, and on the smoothness of the target function.

description: In this work we deal with the numerical solution of the fluid-structure interaction problem arising in the haemodynamic environment. In particular, we consider BDF and Newmark time discretization schemes, and we study different methods for the treatment of the fluid-structure interface position, focusing on partitioned algorithms for the prescription of the continuity conditions at the fluid-structure interface. We consider explicit and implicit algorithms, and new hybrid methods. We study numerically the performances and the accuracy of these schemes, highlighting the best solutions for haemodynamic applications. We also study numerically their convergence properties with respect to time discretization, by introducing an analytical test case.

description: The theory of the quantum Coulomb field associates with each Lorentz frame, i. e., with each unit, future oriented time-like vector $u$, the operator of the number of transversal infrared photons $N(u)$ and the phase $S(u)$ which is the coordinate canonically conjugated with the total charge $Q: [Q, S(u)] = ie, e$ being the elementary charge. It is shown that the operators $N(u), Q/e S(u)$ and $Q^2$ form an infinite Lie algebra. One can conclude from this algebra that $\DeltaN(u) = (4/π) Q^2$, where $Δ$ is the Laplace operator in the Lobachevsky space of four-velocities $u$, thus relating the total charge $Q$ with the number of infrared photons.

description: Symbolic methods of analysis are valuable tools for investigating complex time-dependent signals. In particular, the ordinal method defines sequences of symbols according to the ordering in which values appear in a time series. This method has been shown to yield useful information, even when applied to signals with large noise contamination. Here we use ordinal analysis to investigate the transition between eyes closed (EC) and eyes open (EO) resting states. We analyze two {EEG} datasets (with 71 and 109 healthy subjects) with different recording conditions (sampling rates and the number of electrodes in the scalp). Using as diagnostic tools the permutation entropy, the entropy computed from symbolic transition probabilities, and an asymmetry coefficient (that measures the asymmetry of the likelihood of the transitions between symbols) we show that ordinal analysis applied to the raw data distinguishes the two brain states. In both datasets, we find that the EO state is characterized by higher entropies and lower asymmetry coefficient, as compared to the EC state. Our results thus show that these diagnostic tools have the potential for detecting and characterizing changes in time-evolving brain states.

description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the three most common cancers in humans. High incidence is associated to age, and the correlation between metastases and mortality is known, however the genomic mechanisms involved in the onset and progression of CRC are still not understood.
The enrichment functional analysis provide a direct interpretation of studies with data coming from high throughput technologies as microarrays and massive sequencing. Therefore, the aim of this work is to define an integrative functional characterization of microRNA and mRNA in colorectal patients, what will allow a better knowledge of the regulation mechanisms in this pathology, as well as the biomarkers detection.
This project has a double objective: 1) identification of the functions associated to mRNA and microRNA profiling with a higher or lower differential expression. 2) evaluation of this methodology for functional integration of expression data, comparing complementary scenarios of interest: microRNA, mRNA and both at the same time. These approaches are carried out using different functional terms (Gene Ontology, KEGG and Reactome pathways).
To achieve these objectives we apply several multidimensional models from R, for a microarray dataset of 65 patients in different stages of colon cancer.

description: To evaluate the association of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure with hypertension and blood pressure (BP) in children, a sample of 9,354 children, aged 5–17 years, was studied from seven northeastern cities of China in 2012–2013. The results showesd that significant associations were observed for hypertension with ETS exposure in utero [odds ratio (OR) 1.36, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.18–1.57], with current major ETS exposure from fathers (1.38, 1.21–1.57) or anyone (1.26, 1.12–1.42), and with intensity of ETS exposure greater than 1 cigarette per day (ORs ranged from 1.20 to 1.35). For SBP, significant associations were only observed in children with major ETS exposure from father and with cigarettes smoking >10/day. When stratified by sex, more significant associations were found in girls than in boys. In conclusion, prenatal and postnatal ETS exposure was significantly associated with increased odds of hypertension in children, especially in girls.

description: We study the dependence of the superconducting gaps on both the disorder and the temperature within the two-band model for iron-based materials. In the clean limit, the system is in the $s_\pm$ state with the sign-changing gaps. Scattering by nonmagnetic impurities leads to the change of sign of the smaller gap thus resulting in a transition from the $s_{\pm}$ to the $s_{++}$ state with the sign-preserving gaps. We show here that the transition is temperature-dependent, thus, there is a line of $s_\pm \to s_{++}$ transition in the temperature-disorder phase diagram. There exists a narrow range of impurity scattering rates, where the disorder-induced $s_\pm \to s_{++}$ transition occurs at low temperatures, but then the low-temperature $s_{++}$ state transforms back to the $s_\pm$ state at higher temperatures. With increasing impurity scattering rate, temperature of such $s_{++} \to s_{\pm}$ transition shifts to the critical temperature $T_c$ and only the $s_{++}$ state is left for higher amount of disorder.

description: To study the degradation of tetracycline by Bi2S3-based binary composite and ternary composite photocatalysts, Cu2O/Bi2S3 and NH2-UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi2S3 was successfully fabricated by the solvothermal method, which can effectively and stably degrade tetracycline (TC). The crystal structure, chemical composition, and microscopic morphology of the as-prepared sample were analysed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic performance of the composite photocatalyst was estimated by degradation of TC under visible-light irradiation. The results showed that the removal ratio of TC by Cu2O/Bi2S3 and NH2-UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi2S3 are 95.2% and 93.2%, respectively. The photoelectric properties of the material were evaluated by PL and EIS analysis, and compared to Bi2S3, the overall visible light absorption capacity, as well as the separation and transfer rates of photogenerated carriers of the composites photocatalyst have been significantly improved. Both Cu2O/Bi2S3 and NH2-UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi2S3 can achieve a good photodegradation performance for TC, but the results of UV–vis DRS spectrum, Mott–Schottky curve, and free radical trapping experiments show that their photodegradation mechanism for TC is different. For Cu2O/Bi2S3, •O2− and h+ are the main active species in the photocatalytic reaction process, among which •O2− plays the most important role, but •OH has almost no effect, and for NH2-UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi2S3, the main active species are •OH and h+. The possible photocatalytic mechanisms for Cu2O/Bi2S3 and NH2-UiO-66/BiOBr/Bi2S3 are Z-scheme and double Z-schemes are proposed, respectively.

description: In this paper, we have studied bi-gravity theory in a very specific limit where we focused only on one degree of freedom generated by the massive graviton. We have analyzed the model in the context of cosmology and demonstrated that the model can give rise to late time cosmic acceleration as an attractor of the dynamical system. However, the observational constraints due to tensor perturbations are stringent giving rise to large fine tuning.

description: We report on pointed X-ray observations of IC 10, NGC 147 and NGC 185 made with the ROSAT High Resolution Imager (HRI). These are three Local Group galaxies that have never been previously studied in detail in the X-ray regime. IC 10 is the closest starburst galaxy to our own Galaxy, and NGC 147 and NGC 185 are companions to M31. We have discovered a variable X-ray source coincident with IC 10. The source is located near the centre of a large, non-thermal bubble of radio emission, and it is positionally coincident with an emission line star in IC 10 which has been classified as a WN type Wolf-Rayet star. We demonstrate that a confusing foreground or background source is improbable. The X-ray source is probably an X-ray binary in IC 10, and it may be a Wolf-Rayet + black hole binary. The source has mean and maximum 0.1--2.5 keV isotropic luminosities of about 2 and 4 times 10^{38} erg/s. We do not detect any sources in the central regions of NGC 147 or NGC 185. We place upper limits on their central X-ray emission, and we list all X-ray sources coincident with their outer extents. We also present the first X-ray detections of the well-studied Algol-type binary TV Cas and the W UMa-type binary BH Cas, which were both serendipitously observed during our IC 10 pointing.

description: Good quality In2S3 films were grown by Dr Blade method from a powder synthesized in a chemical bath, and oxidized to obtain In2O3 films and films of intermediate composition. The oxidation process and kinetics are studied by means of thermogravimetric analysis, which shows complex phenomena. The study is completed by scanning electron microscopy and EDX measurements. X-ray diffraction and UV-visible spectroscopy results are also shown. The oxidation process begins significantly above 420 C, and it appears that at least one intermediate crystal phase takes place in the solid solution, suggesting that the replacement of sulfur by oxygen atoms occurs at different temperatures in the different crystallographic sites. The obtained samples show a band gap varying continuously between 1.94 eV and 3.72 eV.
MATHICSE Technical Report : Convergence of quasi-optimal stochastic Galerkin methods for a class of PDES with random coefficients

description: In this work we consider quasi-optimal versions of the Stochastic Galerkin Method for solving linear elliptic PDEs with stochastic coeffcients. In particular, we consider the case of a finite number N of random inputs and an analytic dependence of the solution of the PDE with respect to the parameters in a polydisc of the complex plane CN. We show that a quasi-optimal approximation is given by a Galerkin projection on a weighted (anisotropic) total degree space and prove a (sub)exponential convergence rate. As a specific application we consider a thermal conduction problem with non-overlapping inclusions of random conductivity. Numerical results show the sharpness of our estimates.

description: $N=1 D=4$ supermembrane (in a flat background) and super D2-brane dual to it are described within the nonlinear realizations approach as theories of the partial supersymmetry breaking $N=1 D=4 \to N=1 d=3$. We construct the relevant invariant off-shell Goldstone superfield actions and demonstrate them to be dual to each other. Their bosonic cores are, respectively, the static-gauge Nambu-Goto and $d=3$ Born-Infeld actions. The supermembrane superfield equation of motion admits a transparent geometric interpretation suggesting an extension of the standard superembedding constraints. We briefly discuss the 1/4 breaking of $N=1 D=5$ supersymmetry along similar lines.

description: We give a new fast method for evaluating sprectral approximations of nonlinear polynomial functionals.

description: A new prototype of STAR inner Time Projection Chamber (iTPC) MWPC sector has been fabricated and tested in an X-ray test system. The wire chamber built at Shandong University has a wire tension precision better than 6$\%$ and wire pitch precision better than 10 $μ$m. The gas gain uniformity and energy resolution are measured to be better than 1$\%$ (RMS) and 20$\%$ (FWHM), respectively, using an $^{55}$Fe X-ray source. The iTPC upgrade project is to replace all 24 STAR TPC inner sectors as a crucial detector upgrade for the RHIC beam energy scan phase II program. The test results show that the constructed iTPC prototype meets all project requirements.
