description: Photon-counting energy resolving detectors are subject to intense research interest, and there is a need for a general framework for performance assessment of these detectors. The commonly used linear-systems theory framework, which measures detector performance in terms of noise-equivalent quanta (NEQ) and detective quantum efficiency (DQE) is widely used for characterizing conventional X-ray detectors but does not take energy-resolving capabilities into account. We extend this framework to encompass energy-resolving photon-counting detectors and elucidate how the imperfect energy response of real-world detectors affects imaging performance. We generalize NEQ and DQE to matrix-valued quantities as functions of spatial frequency, and show how these can be calculated from simple Monte Carlo simulations. To demonstrate how the new metrics can be interpreted, we compute them for simplified models of fluorescence and Compton scatter in a photon-counting detector and for a Monte Carlo model of a CdTe detector with 0.5 x 0.5 mm^2 pixels. Our results show that the ideal-linear-observer performance for any detection or material quantification task can be calculated from the proposed metrics. Off-diagonal elements in these matrices are shown to be related to imperfect energy resolution. The Monte Carlo model of the CdTe detector predicts a zero-frequency dose efficiency relative to an ideal detector of 0.86 and 0.65 for detecting water and bone, respectively. When the task instead is to quantify these materials, the corresponding values are 0.34 for water and 0.26 for bone. We have shown that the matrix-valued NEQ and DQE metrics contain sufficient information for calculating the dose efficiency for both detection or quantification tasks, the task having any spatial and energy dependence. This framework will be beneficial for the development of photon-counting X-ray detectors.

description: Active galaxies hosting two accreting and merging super-massive black holes (SMBHs) -- dual Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) -- are predicted by many current and popular models of black hole-galaxy co-evolution. We present here the results of a program that has identified a set of probable dual AGN candidates based on near Infra-red (NIR) Laser Guide-Star Adaptive Optics (LGS AO) imaging with the Keck II telescope. These candidates are selected from a complete sample of radio-quiet Quasi-stellar Objects (QSOs) drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), which show double-peaked narrow AGN emission lines. Of the twelve AGNs imaged, we find six with double galaxy structure, of which four are in galaxy mergers. We measure the ionization of the two velocity components in the narrow AGN lines to test the hypothesis that both velocity components come from an active nucleus. The combination of a well-defined parent sample and high-quality imaging allows us to place constraints on the fraction of SDSS QSOs that host dual accreting black holes separated on kiloparsec (kpc) scales: ~0.3%-0.65%. We derive from this fraction the time spent in a QSO phase during a typical merger and find a value that is much lower than estimates that arise from QSO space densities and galaxy merger statistics. We discuss possible reasons for this difference. Finally, we compare the SMBH mass distributions of single and dual AGN and find little difference between the two within the limited statistics of our program, hinting that most SMBH growth happens in the later stages of a merger process.

description: Smokers attempting to quit by themselves (n = 218) or with the aid of brief, written materials (n = 195) were assessed prior to quitting and 1 month and 12 months after their quit date. While the two samples used somewhat differing quitting strategies and showed some differences in short-term quitting, the 12-monthoutcomes were similar: point prevalence quit rates of 16 and 20%; continuous quitting rates of 0.5 and 5.5%respectively. Demographic and smoking history characteristics of the samples approximated those seen in cessation clinic samples. Participants reported using an average of over five quitting strategies with one sample reflecting use of the written materials they had requested. Reported use of, and satisfaction with, the written materials-at 1 month-was related to quit status at 12 months. However, neither use of specific quitting strategies, reasons for quitting, demographic and smoking history variables, or motivation and confidence were related to smoking status outcomes. Only baseline smoking and other indicators of dependence were prospectively predictive of smoking status.

description: The large-scale structure of the ionization field during the epoch of reionization (EoR) can be modeled by the excursion set theory. While the growth of ionized regions during the early stage are described by the "bubble model", the shrinking process of neutral regions after the percolation of the ionized region calls for an "island model". An excursion set based analytical model and a semi-numerical code (islandFAST) have been developed. The ionizing background and the bubbles inside the islands are also included in the treatment. With two kinds of absorbers of ionizing photons, i.e. the large-scale under-dense neutral islands and the small-scale over-dense clumps, the ionizing background are self-consistently evolved in the model.

description: We discuss a supergravity description of the metastable state that is created by a stack of anti-D3-branes placed at the tip of the KS background. When the number p of the anti-D3-branes is large g_s p >> 1 the characteristic curvature of the corresponding gravity dual is large in stringy units and one may expect the background to be regular everywhere. Starting from the distances of order R ~ (g_s p)^{1/4} away from the tip the new background can be well approximated by a linear perturbation around KS. By applying the appropriate boundary conditions in both IR and UV we found the lowest KK mode of the corresponding linear perturbation. The solution we found contains VEVs of the SU(2)x SU(2) invariant operators at the linear order in p. As a non-trivial check we calculate the ADM mass which exactly matches the probe approximation. As a byproduct we also found a gravity background dual to the KS theory deformed by the operators W^2 and W^2\bar{W}^2 with small coefficients.

description: The market-driven agricultural transformation of the global food system requires all, directly and indirectly, participating actors to compete efficiently and to adapt to changes in consumer demand and buyer requirements. Regarding product quantity and quality, smallholders, in particular, have to increase their reliability in order to be able to compete within the agricultural markets. Thus, innovative institutions are needed that integrate and strengthen the sustainability and linkage of and between each technological, economic, social, or political component of the value chain in order to (further) include smallholder farmers within the transforming food system. By adapting their approach and service portfolio both to changing market requirements and to scientific findings from empowerment research, farmer organizations (FO) could become one of the innovative key actors, increasing the competitiveness of their members SMEs' and reducing poverty, its impacts and its costs. The aim of this study is, on the one hand, to empirically test the previously constructed theoretical concept of empowerment and the applicability of the developed measuring scale. On the other hand, the study compares the current empowerment approaches of the surveyed FOs, in order to show by means of best practices, but also weak points, how applied empowerment approaches can be transferred and improved in the future. Theory-wise, the term "empowerment" is placed between the discussions of "repositioning" according to Bourdieu, the question of distribution and exercising economic, social, and political power according to Sen and recent findings from behavioral science on the changeability of mental models and thus behavior. By putting the theoretical findings into relation and into the context of agricultural development, the results are integrated into the broader discourse of reducing poverty and hunger. Thus, the overall objective of this study is to support the applied empowerment research and the interdisciplinary discourse on poverty and hunger reduction with some impulses for its further advancement.

description: The inverse problem of amplitude reconstruction on an inclined line based on the values of amplitude or its module as recorded on semi-infinite line orthogonal to the beam propagation direction is considered within the framework of 2D parabolic equation. It is demonstrated that this inverse problem, in case when the complex image plane amplitude is known, can be reduced to a singular Cauchy type integral equation. The existence of its solutions requires that certain conditions be met but if a solution exists it is necessary unique. The obtained integral equation is then approximated piece-wisely and the resulting linear algebraic system is solved numerically while applying necessary regularization procedures to enhance the stability of its solutions. Finally, an iterative method of phase retrieval is developed and a set of numerical experiments is performed.

description: When an isolated system is brought in contact with a heat bath its final energy is random and follows the Gibbs distribution -- a cornerstone of statistical physics. The system's energy can also be changed by performing non-adiabatic work using a cyclic process. Almost nothing is known about the resulting energy distribution in this setup, which is especially relevant to recent experimental progress in cold atoms, ions traps, superconducting qubits and other systems. Here we show that when the non-adiabatic process comprises of many repeated cyclic processes the resulting energy distribution is universal and different from the Gibbs ensemble. We predict the existence of two qualitatively different regimes with a continuous second order like transition between them. We illustrate our approach performing explicit calculations for both interacting and non-interacting systems.

description: Today’s world is undeniably data-driven. The explosion of the Internet has generated vast volumes of data, and the advent of machine learning has unlocked captivating applications that thrive on this data. In such a world, it is evident that the ability to store, transmit, and process data securely is paramount. Distributing trust is one of the fundamental cryptographic principles that enable such security, and it is at the core of key cryptographic tools such as multi-party computation (MPC) and randomness generation. As the demand for secure and reliable cryptographic solutions grows, there is increasing interest in offering distributed protocols as a service.
Such services are typically expected to run continuously for long periods of time, requiring significant resource commitments from all participating parties. One approach to mitigate this issue is to design distributed cryptographicprotocols that are stateless. In stateless protocols, parties are easily replaceable, and can contribute to the execution by participating only for a short time, without committing to a long-term computation.
In this work, we study stateless multi-party computation. We start by introducing a stateless MPC protocol which does not require parties to be online at the same time and requires no interaction between the participants. We construct this protocol in the blockchain model and under the assumption of what we call Conditional Storage and Retrieval (CSaR) systems. In our next step, we eliminate the CSaR requirement and design stateless MPC without relying on this assumption. More concretely, we focus on the recently introduced You Only Speak Once (YOSO) paradigm. In this model participating parties are allowed to send only a single message; i.e., they speak only once. We improve the state of the art in YOSO MPC by designing a protocol with better communication complexity than the currently known solutions. Then, we focus on improving the efficiency of special-purpose YOSO MPC. Specifically, we consider the task of distributed randomness generation, and design a suite of protocols, each balancing different trade-offs in terms of underlying assumptions, efficiency, and corruption threshold. We develop these protocols in the model of YOSO with worst-case corruptions (YOSOWCC), which is even stronger than the original YOSO MPC.

description: Theoretical analyses of the development of numerical representations suggest that playing linear number board games should enhance young children's numerical knowledge. Consistent with this prediction, playing such a game for roughly 1 hr increased low-income preschoolers' (mean age = 5.4 years) proficiency on 4 diverse numerical tasks: numerical magnitude comparison, number line estimation, counting, and numeral identification. The gains remained 9 weeks later. Classmates who played an identical game, except for the squares varying in color rather than number, did not improve on any measure. Also as predicted, home experience playing number board games correlated positively with numerical knowledge. Thus, playing number board games with children from low-income backgrounds may increase their numerical knowledge at the outset of school.

description: We count the number of independent structures which can arise in expressions for radiation friction force in different even space-time dimensions and demonstrate that their number is too big at d\geq 8 to allow determination of this force from the transversality condition alone, as was done by B.Kosyakov in 6d. This implies that in general one can not bypass a tedious calculation involving explicit regularization and evaluation of emerging counterterms. However, simple Kosyakov's method works nicely in any dimension for the special case of circular motion with constant angular velocity.

description: In network systems, a local perturbation can amplify as it propagates, potentially leading to a large-scale cascading failure. Here we derive a continuous model to advance our understanding of cascading failures in power-grid networks. The model accounts for both the failure of transmission lines and the desynchronization of power generators, and incorporates the transient dynamics between successive steps of the cascade. In this framework, we show that a cascade event is a phase-space transition from an equilibrium state with high energy to an equilibrium state with lower energy, which can be suitably described in closed form using a global Hamiltonian-like function. From this function we show that a perturbed system cannot always reach the equilibrium state predicted by quasi-steady-state cascade models, which would correspond to a reduced number of failures, and may instead undergo a larger cascade. We also show that in the presence of two or more perturbations, the outcome depends strongly on the order and timing of the individual perturbations. These results offer new insights into the current understanding of cascading dynamics, with potential implications for control interventions.

Givinostat at 37.5 mg/kg also significantly counteracted fibrosis in tibialis anterior (TA); Prednisone was able to diminish fibrosis in TA and gastrocnemius (GAS), whereas the antifibrotic effect of Deflazacort was observed only in TA. Statistical analysis: functional tests, 2-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test; histological parameters, 1-way ANOVA with Bonferroni’s multiple comparison test. Mean values ± s.e.

description: This work extends to dimension $d\geq3$ the main result of Dehghanpour and Schonmann. We consider the stochastic Ising model on ${\mathbb{Z}}^d$ evolving with the Metropolis dynamics under a fixed small positive magnetic field $h$ starting from the minus phase. When the inverse temperature $β$ goes to $\infty$, the relaxation time of the system, defined as the time when the plus phase has invaded the origin, behaves like $\exp({βκ_d})$. The value $κ_d$ is equal to \[κ_d=\frac{1}{d+1}(Γ_1+\cdots+Γ_d),\] where $Γ_i$ is the energy of the $i$-dimensional critical droplet of the Ising model at zero temperature and magnetic field $h$.

description: When we think about the value of journal publishing, we have a tendency to think in terms of costs per article and the potential for new technologies to reduce these costs. In this post, Lucy Montgomery and Cameron Neylon argue that we should instead focus on the social life of journals and the knowledge communities they sustain. Taking this as a starting point they explore how changes to the business model of journal publishing have pushed existing forms of academic social organization to their limits.
Explanation of the EPF experiment in terms of gravity gradients

description: Results of the Eötvös Pekár and Fekete (EPF) equivalence test were used by Fischbach and coworkers in 1986 as an argument in favor of a hypothetical fifth force. Although this hypothesis was abandoned in view of the negative experimental results that followed, we still miss plausible explanation of the EPF results. This situation motivated us to investigate the EPF test in terms of gravity gradients. This paper presents arguments that the results can be explained as a classical systematic effect related to the ambient gravity field. We found that gradients of the ambient gravity field caused a false equivalence violation signal. Firstly, this was due to the time variation of gravity gradients, in spite of the fact that the experimenters were aware of it and designed a method to cancel it. Second, the EPF samples had different shapes and therefore the gravitational force was necessarily different in a constant, but inhomogeneous gravity field. We demonstrate that there is an ambient gravity field where these effects can fully reproduce the EPF results.

Casimir torque between corrugated metallic plates

description: We consider two parallel corrugated plates and show that a Casimir torque arises when the corrugation directions are not aligned. We follow the scattering approach and calculate the Casimir energy up to second order in the corrugation amplitudes, taking into account nonspecular reflections, polarization mixing and the finite conductivity of the metals. We compare our results with the proximity force approximation, which overestimates the torque by a factor 2 when taking the conditions that optimize the effect. We argue that the Casimir torque could be measured for separation distances as large as 1 $μ{\rm m}.$

description: Network growth processes can be understood as generative models of the structure and history of complex networks. This point of view naturally leads to the problem of network archaeology: reconstructing all the past states of a network from its structure---a difficult permutation inference problem. In this paper, we introduce a Bayesian formulation of network archaeology, with a generalization of preferential attachment as our generative mechanism. We develop a sequential Monte Carlo algorithm to evaluate the posterior averages of this model, as well as an efficient heuristic that uncovers a history well correlated with the true one, in polynomial time. We use these methods to identify and characterize a phase transition in the quality of the reconstructed history, when they are applied to artificial networks generated by the model itself. Despite the existence of a no-recovery phase, we find that nontrivial inference is possible in a large portion of the parameter space as well as on empirical data.

description: The rotation of more than 700 pulsars has been monitored using the 76-m Lovell Telescope at Jodrell Bank. Here we report on a new search for glitches in the observations, revealing 128 new glitches in the rotation of 63 pulsars. Combining these new data with those already published we present a database containing 315 glitches in 102 pulsars. The database was used to study the glitch activity among the pulsar population, finding that it peaks for pulsars with a characteristic age tau_c ~ 10kyr and decreases for longer values of tau_c, disappearing for objects with tau_c > 20Myr. The glitch activity is also smaller in the very young pulsars (tau_c

Projection of responsiveness to needs and the construction of satisfying communal relationships.

description: This research tested a social projection model of perceived partner responsiveness to needs. According to this model, people project their own care and supportiveness for a partner onto their perceptions of their partner's caring and supportiveness. In 2 dyadic marriage studies, participants' self-reported responsiveness to the needs of a spouse predicted perceptions of the spouse's responsiveness to the self more strongly than did the spouse's self-reported responsiveness. These projected perceptions of responsiveness, in turn, appeared to promote perceivers' relationship satisfaction. These effects were independent of individual differences in attachment, self-esteem, depression, and communal orientation. A daily-diary component suggested that people projected their own chronic responsiveness as well as their daily enacted support onto perceptions of the specific benefits received from their spouses. A 3rd study found that experimentally manipulated feelings of difficulty in recalling examples of own support provision reduced perceptions of partner responsiveness. Results suggest that projection of own responsiveness is an important determinant of perceived social support and is a means by which caring perceivers maintain satisfying and subjectively communal relationships.

description: We study the magnetoresistance of yttrium iron garnet/Pt heterostructures in which the Pt layer was grown via atomic layer deposition (ALD). Magnetotransport experiments in three orthogonal rotation planes reveal the hallmark features of spin Hall magnetoresistance. We estimate the spin transport parameters by comparing the magnitude of the magnetoresistance in samples with different Pt thicknesses. We compare the spin Hall angle and the spin diffusion length of the ALD Pt layers to the values reported for high-quality sputter-deposited Pt films. The spin diffusion length of 1.5nm agrees well with platinum thin films reported in the literature, whereas the spin Hall magnetoresistance $Δρ/ ρ= 2.2\times 10^{-5}$ is approximately a factor of 20 smaller compared to that of our sputter-deposited films. Our results demonstrate that ALD allows fabricating spin-Hall-active Pt films of suitable quality for use in spin transport structures. This work provides the basis to establish conformal ALD coatings for arbitrary surface geometries with spin-Hall-active metals and could lead to 3D spintronic devices in the future.
