description: We propose and demonstrate a technique for quantum random number generation based on the random population of the output spatial modes of a beam splitter when both inputs are simultaneously fed with indistinguishable weak coherent states. We simulate and experimentally validate the probability of generation of random bits as a function of the average photon number per input, and compare it to the traditional approach of a single weak coherent state transmitted through a beam-splitter, showing an improvement of up to 32\%. The ensuing interference phenomenon reduces the probability of coincident counts between the detectors associated with bits 0 and 1, thus increasing the probability of occurrence of a valid output. A long bit string is assessed by a standard randomness test suite with good confidence. Our proposal can be easily implemented and opens attractive performance gains without a significant trade-off.

description: The Gaia-ESO survey (GES) is now in its fifth and last year of observations, and has already produced tens of thousands of high-quality spectra of stars in all Milky Way components. This paper presents the strategy behind the selection of astrophysical calibration targets, ensuring that all GES results on radial velocities, atmospheric parameters, and chemical abundance ratios will be both internally consistent and easily comparable with other literature results, especially from other large spectroscopic surveys and from Gaia. The calibration of GES is particularly delicate because of: (i) the large space of parameters covered by its targets, ranging from dwarfs to giants, from O to M stars, and with a large range of metallicities, as well as including fast rotators, emission line objects, stars affected by veiling and so on; (ii) the variety of observing setups, with different wavelength ranges and resolution; and (iii) the choice of analyzing the data with many different state-of-the art methods, each stronger in a different region of the parameter space, which ensures a better understanding of systematic uncertainties. An overview of the GES calibration and homogenization strategy is also given, along with some examples of the usage and results of calibrators in GES iDR4 - the fourth internal GES data release, that will form the basis of the next GES public data release. The agreement between GES iDR4 recommended values and reference values for the calibrating objects are very satisfactory. The average offsets and spreads are generally compatible with the GES measurement errors, which in iDR4 data already meet the requirements set by the main GES scientific goals.

Interpreting and understanding traditional Chinese medical texts: Chinese philosophy in Zhang Xichun's 張錫純 Yixue zhong zhong can xi lu 醫學衷中參西錄 (On Medicine: Chinese at Heart and Western as Reference)

subject: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Understanding traditional Chinese medical texts is a complex process, mainly due to the antiquity of the texts, and the fact that Chinese medicine is a healthcare system developed within the ancient Chinese philosophical and cultural paradigm, and carries viewpoints and influences from many schools of philosophy of ancient China, alongside evidence-based clinical reasoning. The aim of this thesis is to analyse how Zhang Xichun 張錫純 (1860-1933) understood the traditional philosophical concepts of yin-yang 陰陽, qi 氣and shen 神in the context of traditional Chinese medicine in his time, and how he was able to give these old concepts renewed vigour in the era of scientific progress in the late 19th and early 20th century. Zhang Xichun was a leading reformer of Chinese medicine in his time; he belonged to the so-called Huitongpai 匯通派 (School of Convergence and Connection). In his work Yixue Zhong zhong can xi lu 醫學衷中參西錄 (On Medicine: Chinese at Heart and Western as Reference), which was published amid arguments that would gravely affect the progress and mere survival of Chinese medicine, he argued that Chinese philosophy and medical classics including the Huangdi neijing 黃帝內經 (Yellow Emperor’s Inner Classic) and Shanghan lun 傷寒論 (Treatise on Cold Damage) were the basis of traditional Chinese medicine and would not hinder the progress of medicine in the modern world, as some of his contemporaries had suggested. In this project, through textual analysis in a historical context, chapters from Zhang Xichun’s work are studied and compared with relevant classical medical and philosophical texts, and the difficulties in and approaches to understanding traditional Chinese medical texts are analysed. It is hoped that the modern-day meanings of the traditional key concepts of yin-yang 陰陽, qi 氣 and shen 神 in Chinese medicine will be clarified and demystified.

description: Energy consumption in Ecuador has increased significantly during the last decades, affecting negatively the financial position of the country since large energy consumption subsidies are provided in its internal market and Ecuador is mostly a crude oil exporter and oil derivatives importer country. This research seeks to state the long run price and income elasticities of energy demand in Ecuador, by analyzing information spanning the period from 1970 to 2015. A cointegration analysis and an estimation by using a Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares approach considering structural breaks is carried out. Results obtained are robust and suggest that in the long run energy demand in Ecuador is highly income elastic, has no relationship with its price and has an almost unitary but inverse relationship with the industrial production level. Conclusions and economic policy suggestions are also provided.

Application of sampling theory in modeling of continuum processes: photoionization cross-sections of atoms

Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)

description: We describe a method for the calculation of photoionization cross-sections using square-integrable amplitudes obtained from the diagonalization of finite-basis set representations of the electronic Hamiltonian. Three examples are considered: a model example in which the final state is a free particle, the hydrogen atom and neutral atomic sodium. The method exploits the Whittaker-Shannon-Kotel'nikov sampling theorem, which is widely used in digital signal sampling and reconstruction. The approach reproduces known data with very good accuracy and converges to the exact solution with increase of the basis set size.
Multiscale Investigation On The Role Of Quantum Effects In Photoinduced Mechanisms Of DNA Repair
Creators: name: Guthrie Róisín, Lu You
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (T=T dimer) is a DNA mutation made when two adjacent thymine bases bond together after UV radiation damage. If the DNA is not repaired, the dimer will be deadly for the cell and is the leading cause of melanoma in humans. The dimer can be broken, and the DNA repaired when a single electron is donated to the dimer from an enzyme or surrounding nucleotide. Cyclic exchange of this electron will break the dimer, and afterwards it is returned to the donor. Experimental evidence [1] suggests that, for the DNA sequence: G-A-T=T, absorption of UVB/UVC light will result its ionisation, and its reduction of adenine, as it passes the electron to it. In turn adenine will reduce the dimer, leading to its repair process and the subsequent return of the electron to guanine. I plan to produce a computational model of this sequence of events, to provide a better understanding of the nature and feasibility of this reaction. I will use a technique known as QM/MM modelling- using QM codes, that account for quantum mechanical effects, only in the reactive site and for all other parts of the model: MM codes, that only model larger scale molecular mechanics. This allows for a model that is both very accurate and large enough to be biologically realistic. I will also produce a QM/MM model to look at the use of quantum mechanics in the active site of the enzyme photolyase during dimer repair. There are many unanswered questions about the dominance of different electron transfer mechanisms from the active site to the dimer across photolyase enzyme species and environmental situations.

description: This work describes a new version of a previously published Python package - gym-saturation: a collection of OpenAI Gym environments for guiding saturation-style provers based on the given clause algorithm with reinforcement learning. We contribute usage examples with two different provers: Vampire and iProver. We also have decoupled the proof state representation from reinforcement learning per se and provided examples of using a known ast2vec Python code embedding model as a first-order logic representation. In addition, we demonstrate how environment wrappers can transform a prover into a problem similar to a multi-armed bandit. We applied two reinforcement learning algorithms (Thompson sampling and Proximal policy optimisation) implemented in Ray RLlib to show the ease of experimentation with the new release of our package.

description: ATLAS event processing requires access to centralized database systems where information about calibrations, detector status and data-taking conditions are stored. This processing is done on more than 150 computing sites on a world-wide computing grid which are able to access the database using the squid-Frontier system. Some processing workflows have been found which overload the Frontier system due to the Conditions data model currently in use, specifically because some of the Conditions data requests have been found to have a low caching efficiency. The underlying cause is that non-identical requests as far as the caching are actually retrieving a much smaller number of unique payloads. While ATLAS is undertaking an adiabatic transition during LS2 and Run-3 from the current COOL Conditions data model to a new data model called CREST for Run 4, it is important to identify the problematic Conditions queries with low caching efficiency and work with the detector subsystems to improve the storage of such data within the current data model. For this purpose ATLAS put together an information aggregation and analytics system. The system is based on aggregated data from the squid-Frontier logs using the Elastic Search technology. This talk describes the components of this analytics system from the server based on Flask/Celery application to the user interface and how we use Spark SQL functionalities to filter data for making plots, storing the caching efficiency results into a PostgreSQL database and finally deploying the package via a Docker container.

description: We investigate the parity-violating pion-nucleon-nucleon coupling constant $h^1_{πNN}$, based on the chiral quark-soliton model. We employ an effective weak Hamiltonian that takes into account the next-to-leading order corrections from QCD to the weak interactions at the quark level. Using the gradient expansion, we derive the leading-order effective weak chiral Lagrangian with the low-energy constants determined. The effective weak chiral Lagrangian is incorporated in the chiral quark-soliton model to calculate the parity-violating $πNN$ constant $h^1_{πNN}$. We obtain a value of about $10^{-7}$ at the leading order. The corrections from the next-to-leading order reduce the leading order result by about 20~\%.

description: This 1941 official statement about the impact of the Swansea Blitz was originally created in response to the inevitable criticism that emerged after the February Blitz over how the County Borough's air raid precautions service handled the situation. Some councillors worked to make political advantage of the tragedy and this can be seen in the carefully chosen words of the Controller Lang-Coath. The text needs little explanation. I have added some commentary and some photographs. The days after the raids were terrible as Lang-Coath and his staff worked to feed people, coordinate the collection of human remains and make buildings safe. This is another experiment in Adobe eBook approach from Swansea History Web. See Alban, J.R. 1994.

Using prostaglandin F2α and gonadotropin-releasing hormone simultaneously 7 d prior to Ovsynch increased first-service pregnancies per artificial insemination compared to Presynch-14/0vsynch

description: Fertility programs such as G6G and Double-Ovsynch improve reproductive performance in lactating dairy cows following first service compared to cows inseminated following estrus. However, implementation of these programs in dairy operations can be logistically challenging due to hormone treatments on 4 different days of the week, which increase labor requirements and risk of program compliance issues. To simplify reproductive management, some dairy producers prefer to use Presynch-14 that concentrates most treatments on the same day of the week as day of pregnancy diagnosis. When combined with estrus detection, this strategy allows the insemination of a high percentage of cows ( ~ 50%) following the end of voluntary waiting period, which usually coincides with the second PGF2α treatment. However, this program might limit fertility performance since a high percentage of cows receiving timed-AI do not ovulate to the 1st GnRH of Ovsynch and may not be synchronized at time of insemination. Recently, a simpler pre-synchronization program for first service (PG+G), that uses PGF2α and GnRH simultaneously 7 d prior to Ovsynch, had similar ovulation rates to the 1st GnRH of Ovsynch and pregnancy per AI (P / AI) compared with fertility programs. This PG+G program could benefit dairy operations that use Presynch-14 since they would not need to change the weekday of injections, and reproductive performance could potentially increase. The aim of this study was to compare some physiological parameters and first-service P / AI of PG+G vs Presynch-14 in lactating dairy cows.

description: Gas-grain and gas-phase reactions dominate the formation of molecules in the interstellar medium (ISM). Gas-grain reactions require a substrate (e.g. a dust or ice grain) on which the reaction is able to occur. The formation of molecular hydrogen (H$_2$) in the ISM is the prototypical example of a gas-grain reaction. In these reactions, an atom of hydrogen will strike a surface, stick to it, and diffuse across it. When it encounters another adsorbed hydrogen atom, the two can react to form molecular hydrogen and then be ejected from the surface by the energy released in the reaction. We perform in-depth classical molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of hydrogen atoms interacting with an amorphous water-ice surface. This study focuses on the first step in the formation process; the sticking of the hydrogen atom to the substrate. We find that careful attention must be paid in dealing with the ambiguities in defining a sticking event. The technical definition of a sticking event will affect the computed sticking probabilities and coefficients. Here, using our new definition of a sticking event, we report sticking probabilities and sticking coefficients for nine different incident kinetic energies of hydrogen atoms [5 K - 400 K] across seven different temperatures of dust grains [10 K - 70 K]. We find that probabilities and coefficients vary both as a function of grain temperature and incident kinetic energy over the range of 0.99 - 0.22.

description: Background and objectives: Patients suffering from neurological diseases may develop dysarthria, a motor speech disorder affecting the execution of speech. Close and quantitative monitoring of dysarthria evolution is crucial for enabling clinicians to promptly implement patient management strategies and maximizing effectiveness and efficiency of communication functions in term of restoring, compensating or adjusting. In the clinical assessment of orofacial structures and functions, at rest condition or during speech and non-speech movements, a qualitative evaluation is usually performed, throughout visual observation. Methods: To overcome limitations posed by qualitative assessments, this work presents a store-and-forward self-service telemonitoring system that integrates, within its cloud architecture, a convolutional neural network (CNN) for analyzing video recordings acquired by individuals with dysarthria. This architecture, called facial landmark Mask RCNN, aims at locating facial landmarks as a prior for assessing the orofacial functions related to speech and examining dysarthria evolution in neurological diseases. Results: When tested on the Toronto NeuroFace dataset, a publicly available annotated dataset of video recordings from patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and stroke, the proposed CNN achieved a normalized mean error equal to 1.79 on localizing the facial landmarks. We also tested our system in a real-life scenario on 11 bulbar-onset ALS subjects, obtaining promising outcomes in terms of facial landmark position estimation. Discussion and conclusions: This preliminary study represents a relevant step towards the use of remote tools to support clinicians in monitoring the evolution of dysarthria.

It’s all about you...: The discourse of banking in the UAE
Creators: name: Balfaqeeh, Muna
Publisher: name: Globe: A Journal of Language, Culture and Communication
Year: 2016

description: Al Hilal Bank, a national bank was established in 2008, and since then they managed to change people‘s perceptions on banking and their interaction with this financial institution. This change was marked by the distinctive ‘syntactic personalization’ represented by its slogan “it’s all about you..” and extended to the constant ‘intertextuality’ and ‘interdiscursivity’ which redefined the relationship between this local bank and society. Thus, this era was not only marked by the marketization of public discourse but also promoting their business through the promotion of social and public events. They adopted two major directions: 1. The promotion of ‘patriotism and nationalism’, 2. Their promotion of religious occasions, and using religious references in posters that do not refer to any of their banking services. Using Critical Discourse Analysis as our framework, we analyze a selected corpus of Al Hilal Bank’s discourse through analyzing both text and talk in addition to the semiotic practices represented in the posters that appeared on national Billboards. The aim of this paper is to study and document the shift that took place in the Banking discourse in the United Arab Emirates, describing the main tools which are used to indirectly promote the bank, by either appealing emotionally to their audience targeting the most important and sentimental occasions or exploiting the authority of theirs.

description: The scale of functional magnetic resonance image data is rapidly increasing as large multi-subject datasets are becoming widely available and high-resolution scanners are adopted. The inherent low-dimensionality of the information in this data has led neuroscientists to consider factor analysis methods to extract and analyze the underlying brain activity. In this work, we consider two recent multi-subject factor analysis methods: the Shared Response Model and Hierarchical Topographic Factor Analysis. We perform analytical, algorithmic, and code optimization to enable multi-node parallel implementations to scale. Single-node improvements result in 99x and 1812x speedups on these two methods, and enables the processing of larger datasets. Our distributed implementations show strong scaling of 3.3x and 5.5x respectively with 20 nodes on real datasets. We also demonstrate weak scaling on a synthetic dataset with 1024 subjects, on up to 1024 nodes and 32,768 cores.

description: We present a thorough analysis of the signal line shapes of Fourier transform-based noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical frequency comb spectroscopy (NICE-OFCS). We discuss the signal dependence on the ratio of the modulation frequency, f${_m}$, to the molecular line width, Γ. We compare a full model of the signals and a simplified absorption-like analytical model that has high accuracy for low f${_m}$/Γ ratios and is much faster to compute. We verify the theory experimentally by measuring and fitting NICE-OFCS spectra of CO${_2}$ at 1575 nm using a system based on an Er:fiber femtosecond laser and a cavity with a finesse of ~11000.

description: The formation of basal/prismatic (BP) interfaces accompanying with the nucleation and growth of a reoriented crystal in Mg single-crystals under c-axis tension is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. The BP interfaces nucleate by shuffling mechanism via local rearrangements of atoms. Both two-layer disconnections and one-layer disconnections contribute to the migration of BP interfaces. In a three-dimensional view, the BP interfaces relatively tend to migrate towards the [1-210] direction rather than the [-1010]/[0001] direction since the misfit disconnection or misfit dislocation caused by the accumulation of mismatch along the [-1010] /[0001] direction impedes the disconnection movement. The BP interfaces can transform to the {10-12} twin boundary (TB) and vice versa. While the process from BP interface to TB is described as the linear pile-up of interface disconnections, the versa transformation is proposed as the upright pile-up process. Both BP transformation and {10-12} twinning can efficiently accommodate the strain along the c-axis, and the conjugate BP interfaces and {10-12} TBs account for the large deviations of twin interfaces from the {10-12} twin plane.

description: The supermassive black hole at the centre of the Galaxy flares at least daily in the infrared (IR) and X-ray bands, yet the process driving these flares is still unknown. So far detailed analysis has only been performed on a few bright flares. In particular, the broadband spectral modelling suffers from a strong lack of simultaneous data. However, new monitoring campaigns now provide data on thousands of flaring events, allowing a statistical analysis of the flare properties. In this paper, we investigate the X-ray and IR flux distributions of the flare events. Using a self-consistent calculation of the particle distribution, we model the statistical properties of the flares. Based on a previous work on single flares, we consider two families of models: pure synchrotron models and synchrotron self-Compton (SSC) models. We investigate the effect of fluctuations in some relevant parameters (e.g. acceleration properties, density, magnetic field) on the flux distributions. The distribution of these parameters is readily derived from the flux distributions observed at different wavelengths. In both scenarios, we find that fluctuations of the power injected in accelerated particles plays a major role. This must be distributed as a power-law (with different indices in each model). In the synchrotron dominated scenario, we derive the most extreme values of the acceleration power required to reproduce the brightest flares. In that model, the distribution of the acceleration slope fluctuations is constrained and in the SSC scenario we constrain the distributions of the correlated magnetic field and flow density variations.

description: Neo-fuzzy elements are used as nodes for an evolving cascade system. The proposed system can tune both its parameters and architecture in an online mode. It can be used for solving a wide range of Data Mining tasks (namely time series forecasting). The evolving cascade system with neo-fuzzy nodes can process rather large data sets with high speed and effectiveness.

description: Based on the assumption of two-quark structure for the light scalar mesons, within the framework of perturbative QCD approach, we investigate the $B_{q}\to D_{(s)}^{(*)} S(q=u,d,s)$ decays induced by $b\to u $ transition, where $S$ denotes a light scalar meson. Under two different scenarios, we calculate the branching ratios of 96 decay modes totally, which are in the range of $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-8}$. The comparison between our predictions and the experimental data will allow us to probe the inner structure of the scalar mesons. In the standard model, since all decays can only occur through tree operators, there are no $CP$ asymmetries. From our calculations, it has been shown that the annihilation type diagrams, especially the nonfactorizable annihilation diagrams, play important roles in the decay amplitudes, especially for these color-suppressed and pure annihilation type decay modes. We also find that the branching ratios of color-allowed type decays are sensitive to the different scenarios, so the measurements of them will be ideal places to differentiate the different scenarios. It can be found that the ratios between $Br(B^0\to D^{(*)0}σ)$ and $Br(B^0\to D^{(*)0}f_0)$, and between $Br(B^+\to D^{(*)+}σ)$ and $Br(B^{+}\to D^{(*)+}f_0)$ can be used to determine the mixing angle of $σ$ and $f_0$.
A Multidimensional Cascade Neuro-Fuzzy System with Neuron Pool Optimization in Each Cascade

description: A new architecture and learning algorithms for the multidimensional hybrid cascade neural network with neuron pool optimization in each cascade are proposed in this paper. The proposed system differs from the well-known cascade systems in its capability to process multidimensional time series in an online mode, which makes it possible to process non-stationary stochastic and chaotic signals with the required accuracy. Compared to conventional analogs, the proposed system provides computational simplicity and possesses both tracking and filtering capabilities.

description: La Oficina Técnica de DIGITAL.CSIC lleva a cabo seguimientos anuales sobre el grado de apertura de los resultados de investigación CSIC que se depositan en el repositorio institucional cada año. En este sentido, las memorias anuales de DIGITAL.CSIC así como el estudio pormenorizado Open Access Routes Dichotomy and Opportunities: Consolidation, Analysis and Trends at the Spanish National Research Council son muestras de esfuerzos por contabilizar el avance del acceso abierto en el CSIC tanto por medio del repositorio institucional como por la publicación en revistas de acceso abierto o con opciones de acceso abierto. La diferencia de este portal radica en el centro de atención, en concreto el volumen de producción científica CSIC que se encuentra disponible en DIGITAL.CSIC y que está afectado por el mandato de acceso abierto CSIC. Estos primeros resultados preliminares arrojan unos datos que van en línea con estudios precedentes. Por ejemplo, prácticamente el 60% de los resultados de investigación CSIC analizados en esta web y ya disponibles en DIGITAL.CSIC se encuentran en acceso abierto. A este porcentaje debemos añadir el 7% de contenidos que están embargados temporalmente y que terminarán abriendo su acceso en DIGITAL.CSIC.
Niche partitioning among fur seals

description: At Cape Gantheaume, Kangaroo Island (South Australia), adult male, lactating female and juvenile New Zealand (NZ) and Australian fur seals regularly return to the same colony, creating the potential for intra- and inter-specific foraging competition in nearby waters. I hypothesised that these demographic groups would exhibit distinct foraging strategies, which reduce competition and facilitate their coexistence. I analysed the diet of adult male, adult female and juvenile NZ fur seals and adult male Australian fur seals and studied the diving behaviour of adult male and lactating female NZ fur seals and the at-sea movements of juvenile, adult male and lactating female NZ fur seals. Female diet reflected that of a generalist predator, influenced by prey availability and their dependant pups' fasting abilities. In contrast, adult male NZ and Australian fur seals used larger and more energy-rich prey, most likely because they could more efficiently access and handle such prey. Juvenile fur seals primarily utilised small lantern fish, which occur south of the shelf break, in pelagic waters. Juveniles undertook the longest foraging trips and adult males conducted more lengthy trips than lactating females, which perform relatively brief trips in order to regularly nurse their pups. Unlike lactating females, some adult males appeared to rest underwater by performing dives that were characterised by a period of passive drifting through the water column. The large body sizes of adult males and lactating females facilitated the use of both benthic and pelagic habitats, but adult males dived deeper and for longer than lactating females, facilitating vertical separation of their foraging habitats. Spatial overlap in foraging habitats among the age/sex groups was minimal, because lactating females typically utilised continental shelf waters and males used deeper water over the shelf break, beyond female foraging grounds. Furthermore, juveniles used pelagic waters, up to 1000 km south of the regions used by lactating females and adult males. The age and sex groups in this study employed dramatically different strategies to maximise their survival and reproductive success. Their prey and foraging habitats are likely to be shaped by body size differences, which determine their different physiological constraints and metabolic requirements. I suggest that these physiological constraints and the lactation constraints on females are the primary factors that reduce competition, thereby facilitating niche partitioning.
