description: The Raychaudhuri equation for a geodesic congruence in the presence of a zero-point length has been investigated. This is directly related to the small-scale structure of spacetime and possibly captures some quantum gravity effects. The existence of such a minimum distance between spacetime events modifies the associated metric structure and hence the expansion as well as its rate of change deviates from standard expectations. This holds true for any kind of geodesic congruences, including time-like and null geodesics. Interestingly, this construction works with generic spacetime geometry without any need of invoking any particular symmetry. In particular, inclusion of a zero-point length results into a non-vanishing cross-sectional area for the geodesic congruences even in the coincidence limit, thus avoiding formation of caustics. This will have implications for both time-like and null geodesic congruences, which may lead to avoidance of singularity formation in the quantum spacetime.

description: We consider the steepest rate at which the power spectrum from single field inflation can grow, with the aim of providing a simple explanation for the $k^4$ growth found recently. With this explanation in hand we show that a slightly steeper $k^5 (\log k )^2$ growth is in fact possible. Moreover, we argue that the power spectrum after a steep growth cannot immediately decay, but must remain large for the $k$ modes which exit during a $\sim2$ e-fold period. We also briefly consider how a strong growth can affect the spectral index of longer wavelengths preceding the growth, and show that even the conversion of isocurvature modes likely cannot lead to a stronger growth. These results have implications for the formation of primordial black holes, and other phenomena which require a large amplitude of power spectrum at short scales.

Turbulent viscosity in clumpy accretion disks. Application to the Galaxy

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The equilibrium state of a turbulent clumpy gas disk is analytically investigated. The disk consists of distinct self-gravitating clouds. Gravitational cloud-cloud interactions transfer energy over spatial scales and produce a viscosity, which allows mass accretion in the gas disk. Turbulence is assumed to be generated by instabilities involving self-gravitation and to be maintained by the energy input from differential rotation and mass transfer. Disk parameters, global filling factors, molecular fractions, and star formation rates are derived. The application of our model to the Galaxy shows good agreement with observations. They are consistent with the scenario where turbulence generated and maintained by gravitation can account for the viscosity in the gas disk of spiral galaxies. The role of the galaxy mass for the morphological classification of spiral galaxies is investigated.

description: To describe real-world baseline characteristics and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) at 6- and 12-month follow-up visits among patients with psoriasis who initiated and maintained secukinumab, stratified by prior exposure to biologics. This real-world study included patients enrolled in the CorEvitas (formerly Corrona) Psoriasis Registry who initiated and maintained secukinumab through 6- and/or 12-month follow-up. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and PROs were collected. PROs included Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI); itch, skin pain, fatigue, and EuroQol visual analog scales; and Work Productivity and Activity Impairment. Mean (SD) differences between baseline and follow-up visits were calculated for all outcomes. Overall, 652 patients had a 6-month follow-up visit, 460 (70.6%) were biologic experienced and 192 (29.4%) were biologic naive. Biologic-experienced and biologic-naive patients reported mean (SD) improvements in all PROs measured at 6-month follow-up. Similar improvements were seen among patients with a 12-month follow-up visit (n = 390) and both 6- and 12-month follow-up visits (n = 326). Biologic-experienced and biologic-naive patients with psoriasis who initiated and maintained secukinumab treatment reported improvements in PROs at 6- and/or 12-month follow-up visits. These findings suggest that secukinumab is a potential biologic for psoriasis at any point along the patient treatment journey.

description: Over the last 40 years significant advances in aviation technology have contributed strongly to improvements in aviation safety. Recent figures suggest that fourth generation aircraft are now achieving fatal accident rates in the order of 10-7 and ongoing work continues to improve this rate. Significant improvements in engine and systems reliability, coupled with safety technologies such as Enhanced Ground Proximity Warning (EGPWS), Airborne Collision Avoidance Systems (ACAS), Global Positioning System (GPS), and Vertical Situation Displays (VSD) have contributed to reductions in accident rates. Additionally, initiatives such as RNAV and RNP (AR) approaches continue to improve non-precision approach accuracy and safety while air traffic control improvements continue to accommodate this increased safety as aircraft traffic continues to grow strongly. Nevertheless, the reliability engendered by all these incremental improvements to safety has a downside. While pilots in the earlier years of airline transport had a healthy expectation for engine and systems failures, the modern airline pilot does not necessarily share this. Indeed, the modern airline aircraft is so reliable, and failures are so rare, that pilots are now unwittingly conditioned into an expectation of unwavering reliability. This unintentional complacency means that attention to emergency procedures and an expectation for dealing with real malfunctions is not as well honed as it perhaps once was.

Disorder and interaction in chiral chains: Majoranas vs complex fermions

description: We study the low-energy physics of a chain of Majorana fermions in the presence of interaction and disorder, emphasizing the difference between Majoranas and conventional (complex) fermions. While in the non-interacting limit both models are equivalent (in particular, belong to the same symmetry class BDI and flow towards the same infinite-randomness critical fixed point), their behavior differs drastically once interaction is added. Our density-matrix renormalization group calculations show that the complex-fermion chain remains at the non-interacting fixed point. On the other hand, the Majorana fermion chain experiences a spontaneous symmetry breaking and localizes for repulsive interaction. To explain the instability of the critical Majorana chain with respect to a combined effect of interaction and disorder, we consider interaction as perturbation to the infinite-randomness fixed point and calculate numerically two-wavefunction correlation functions that enter interaction matrix elements. The numerical results supported by analytical arguments exhibit a rich structure of critical eigenstate correlations. This allows us to identify a relevant interaction operator that drives the Majorana chain away from the infinite randomness fixed point. For the case of complex fermions, the interaction is irrelevant.

description: Using the IRAM interferometer we have detected J=4-3 and 5-4 CO line emission toward the radio quiet quasar PSS2322+1944. At a redshift of z_CO=4.1199 this is the fourth and strongest detection of CO at z>4. The velocity-integrated CO J=4-3 and J=5-4 line fluxes are 4.21+-0.40 and 3.74+-0.56 Jy km/s, and the linewidth is ~300 km/s. The CO J=10-9 line was searched for but not detected with an upper intensity limit of 30 mJy. The 1.35 mm (250 mum rest wavelength) continuum flux density is 7.5+-1.3 mJy, in agreement with previous bolometer measurements at 1.2 mm with the 30-m IRAM telescope. The 3mm (580 mum rest wavelength) continuum is not detected with a 3 sigma upper limit of 0.7mJy. We also report observations of the 450 mum continuum in PSS2322+1944 using the SCUBA array at the JCMT. The quasar was detected with a 450 mum flux density of 79+-19mJy. At the angular resolution of 4.8" x 2.1" at 1.3mm and 6.2" x 4.9" at 3.2 mm, the interferometer observations do not show evidence of spatial extension in the continuum or CO line emission. Assuming no gravitational magnification, we estimate a molecular gas mass of ~2.5x10^11 M_sun. The molecular gas is warm (40-100 K) and dense (10^3.5-10^4.1 cm^-3). The infrared-to-CO luminosity ratio is ~185 L_sun/(K km/s pc^2), comparable to the values found for ultraluminous infrared galaxies. The detection of CO emission in this high redshift QSO provides further evidence that the radio emission and the millimeter to submillimeter continuum emission are predominantly powered by a starburst which is coeval with the AGN activity.

description: In this work we answer a long standing request for temporal embeddings of deontic STIT logics by introducing the multi-agent STIT logic TDS. The logic is based upon atemporal utilitarian STIT logic. Yet, the logic presented here will be neutral: instead of committing ourselves to utilitarian theories, we prove the logic TDS sound and complete with respect to relational frames not employing any utilitarian function. We demonstrate how these neutral frames can be transformed into utilitarian temporal frames, while preserving validity. Last, we discuss problems that arise from employing binary utility functions in a temporal setting.

description: The unusual supernova remnant candidate G357.7-0.1 and the compact source G357.63-0.06 have been observed with the Very Large Array at 1.4 and 8.3 GHz. The H92$α$ line (8.3 GHz) was detected from the compact source with a surprising velocity of about -210 km/s indicating that this source is an \HII region, is most likely located at the Galactic center, and is unrelated to the SNR. The \HI absorption line (1.4 GHz) data toward these sources supports this picture and suggests that G357.7-0.1 lies farther away than the Galactic center.

description: Blockchain has the potential to render the transaction of information more secure and transparent. Nowadays, transportation data are shared across multiple entities using heterogeneous mediums, from paper collected data to smartphone. Most of this data are stored in central servers that are susceptible to hacks. In some cases shady actors who may have access to such sources, share the mobility data with unwanted third parties. A multi-layered Blockchain framework for Smart Mobility Data-market (BSMD) is presented for addressing the associated privacy, security, management, and scalability challenges. Each participant shares their encrypted data to the blockchain network and can transact information with other participants as long as both parties agree to the transaction rules issued by the owner of the data. Data ownership, transparency, auditability and access control are the core principles of the proposed blockchain for smart mobility data-market. In a case study of real-time mobility data sharing, we demonstrate the performance of BSMD on a 370 nodes blockchain running on heterogeneous and geographically-separated devices communicating on a physical network. We also demonstrate how BSMD ensures the cybersecurity and privacy of individual by safeguarding against spoofing and message interception attacks and providing information access management control.

description:
OBJECTIVES: Hispanic/Latino youth bear a disproportionate burden of food insecurity and poor metabolic outcomes, but research linking the two in this diverse population is lacking. We evaluated whether lower household and child food security (FS) were adversely associated with a metabolic syndrome (MetS) composite variable and clinically measured cardiometabolic markers: waist circumference, fasting plasma glucose, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. METHODS: This cross-sectional study included 1325 Hispanic/Latino youth aged 8 to 16 years from the Hispanic Community Children's Health Study/Study of Latino Youth, a study of offspring of adults enrolled in the Hispanic Community Health Survey/Study of Latinos. Multivariable regression analyses were used to assess relationships between household FS (high, marginal, low, very low) and child FS (high, marginal, low/very low) status, separately, and our dependent variables, adjusting for participant age, sex, site, parental education, and poverty-income ratio. RESULTS: For both FS measures, youth in the lowest FS category had significantly lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol than those with high FS (household FS: -3.17, 95% confidence interval [CI]: -5.65 to -0.70, child FS: -1.81, 95% CI: -3.54 to -0.09). Low/very low versus high child FS was associated with greater fasting plasma glucose (β = 1.37, 95% CI: 0.08 to 2.65), triglycerides (β = 8.68, 95% CI: 1.75 to 15.61), and MetS expected log counts (β = 2.12, 95% CI: 0.02 to 0.45). CONCLUSIONS: Lower FS is associated with unfavorable MetS-relevant cardiometabolic markers in Hispanic/Latino youth. These findings also support the use of a child-level versus a household-level measure to capture the health implications of food insecurity in this population.

description: During the recombination epoch, cosmic background photons couple not only to free electrons through Thompson scattering, but also to the neutral hydrogen through Rayleigh scattering. This latter is ~2% effect for photons near the peak of the photon energy distribution at z=800 and a ~0.2% effect at z=1100. Including Rayleigh scattering in the calculation reduces Silk damping at fixed redshift, alters the position of the surface of last scattering and alters the propagation of acoustic waves. We estimate the amplitude of these effects. For the Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP), Rayleigh scattering increases the anisotropy spectrum by 0.1% at the most. For the highest frequencies of the Planck Surveyor, the effects of Rayleigh scattering are much more dramatic (decreasing the anisotropy spectrum by 3% at ν~550GHz and l~1000). The relative difference between the spectra of low and high frequencies is imposed by an oscillation with a function of multipole l and the oscillation amplitude is up to 0.5% between 100 and 550GHz. Rayleigh scattering also slows the decoupling between radiation and matter, but the effect is undetectably small.

description: We provide constraints on the AGN contribution to the mid-IR extragalactic background light from a correlation analysis of deep X-ray and mid-IR observations in two regions centred on the Lockman Hole (LH) and Hubble Deep Field North (HDFN). Among the 76 galaxies detected by XMM in the LH area (200 square arcminutes), 24 show mid-IR emission, but the relative percentage of X-ray sources with mid-IR counterparts increases with the band energy: from 30% of the 0.5-2 keV sources up to 63% of the 5-10 keV sources. In contrast, only a small fraction of the mid-IR sources (around 10%) show X-ray emission. In the region centred on the HDFN (24 square arcminutes), 25% of the mid-IR sources are detected in the X-ray, while 30-40% of the X-ray sources show mid-IR emission. Under the conservative assumption that all XMM sources are AGN-dominated, AGNs contribute 15% of the total mid-IR flux in the LH. For the HDFN we have assumed that AGN-dominated sources are luminous X-ray sources with radio to X-ray SEDs typical of local AGNs, in which case we find that 18% of the mid-IR flux are due to AGN emission. If we put together all the existing information from the deepest HDFN data to the shallow large-area BeppoSAX observations in the ELAIS S1 region using the median mid-IR to X-ray spectral indices as a function of the X-ray flux, we find an AGN contribution to the 15um background of 17%. We conclude that the population of IR luminous galaxies detected in the ISOCAM deep surveys are mainly constituted by dust-obscured starbursts.

description: We present a statistical system that can be used in the study of cluster populations. The basis of our approach is the construction of synthetic cluster color-magnitude-radius diagrams (CMRDs), which we compare with the observed data using a maximum likelihood calculation. This approach permits a relatively easy incorporation of incompleteness (a function of not only magnitude and color, but also radius), photometry errors and biases, and a variety of other complex effects into the calculation, instead of the more common procedure of attempting to correct for those effects. We then apply this procedure to our NGC 3627 data from Paper I. We find that we are able to successfully model the observed CMRD and constrain a number of parameters of the cluster population. We measure a power law mass function slope of alpha = -1.50 +/- 0.07, and a distribution of core radii centered at r_c = 1.53 +/- 0.15 pc. Although the extinction distribution is less constrained, we measured a value for the mean extinction consistent with that determined in Paper I from the Cepheids.

description: Encryption on the internet with the shift to HTTPS has been an important step to improve the privacy of internet users. However, there is an increasing body of work about extracting information from encrypted internet traffic without having to decrypt it. Such attacks bypass security guarantees assumed to be given by HTTPS and thus need to be understood. Prior works showed that the variable bitrates of video streams are sufficient to identify which video someone is watching. These works generally have to make trade-offs in aspects such as accuracy, scalability, robustness, etc. These trade-offs complicate the practical use of these attacks. To that end, we propose a deep metric learning framework based on the triplet loss method. Through this framework, we achieve robust, generalisable, scalable and transferable encrypted video stream detection. First, the triplet loss is better able to deal with video streams not seen during training. Second, our approach can accurately classify videos not seen during training. Third, we show that our method scales well to a dataset of over 1000 videos. Finally, we show that a model trained on video streams over Chrome can also classify streams over Firefox. Our results suggest that this side-channel attack is more broadly applicable than originally thought. We provide our code alongside a diverse and up-to-date dataset for future research.

description: We compute the bispectra of the 21cm signal during the Epoch of Reionization for three different reionization scenarios that are based on a dark matter N-body simulation combined with a self-consistent, semi-numerical model of galaxy evolution and reionization. Our reionization scenarios differ in their trends of ionizing escape fractions ($f_\mathrm{esc}$) with the underlying galaxy properties and cover the physically plausible range, i.e. $f_\mathrm{esc}$ effectively decreasing, being constant, or increasing with halo mass. We find the 21cm bispectrum to be sensitive to the resulting ionization topologies that significantly differ in their size distribution of ionized and neutral regions throughout reionization. From squeezed to stretched triangles, the 21cm bispectra features a change of sign from negative to positive values, with ionized and neutral regions representing below-average and above-average concentrations contributing negatively and positively, respectively. The position of the change of sign provides a tracer of the size distribution of the ionized and neutral regions, and allows us to identify three major regimes that the 21cm bispectrum undergoes during reionization. In particular the regime during the early stages of reionization, where the 21cm bispectrum tracks the peak of the size distribution of the ionized regions, provides exciting prospects for pinning down reionization with the forthcoming Square Kilometre Array.

Fronsdal fields from gauge functions in Vasiliev's higher-spin gravity

description: In this paper, we revisit a number of issues in Vasiliev's theory related to gauge functions, ordering schemes, and the embedding of Fronsdal fields into master fields. First, we parametrize a broad equivalence class of linearized solutions using gauge functions and integration constants, and show explicitly how Fronsdal fields and their Weyl tensors arise from these data in accordance with Vasiliev's central on mass shell theorem. We then gauge transform the linearized piece of exact solutions, obtained in a convenient gauge in Weyl order, to the aforementioned class, where we land in normal order. We spell out this map for massless particle and higher spin black hole modes. Our results show that Vasiliev's equations admit the correct free-field limit for master field configurations that relax the original regularity and gauge conditions in twistor space. Moreover, they support the off-shell Frobenius--Chern--Simons formulation of higher spin gravity for which Weyl order plays a crucial role. Finally, we propose a Fefferman-Graham-like scheme for computing asymptotically anti-de Sitter master field configurations, based on the assumption that gauge function and integration constant can be adjusted perturbatively so that the full master fields approach free master fields asymptotically.

description: Cancers, such as squamous cell carcinoma, frequently invade as multicellular units. However, these invading units can be organised in a variety of ways, ranging from thin discontinuous strands to thick 'pushing' collectives. Here we employ an integrated experimental and computational approach to identify the factors that determine the mode of collective cancer cell invasion. We find that matrix proteolysis is linked to the formation of wide strands but has little effect on the maximum extent of invasion. Cell-cell junctions also favour wide strands, but our analysis also reveals a requirement for cell-cell junctions for efficient invasion in response to uniform directional cues. Unexpectedly, the ability to generate wide invasive strands is coupled to the ability to grow effectively when surrounded by extracellular matrix in three-dimensional assays. Combinatorial perturbation of both matrix proteolysis and cell-cell adhesion demonstrates that the most aggressive cancer behaviour, both in terms of invasion and growth, is achieved at high levels of cell-cell adhesion and high levels of proteolysis. Contrary to expectation, cells with canonical mesenchymal traits - no cell-cell junctions and high proteolysis - exhibit reduced growth and lymph node metastasis. Thus, we conclude that the ability of squamous cell carcinoma cells to invade effectively is also linked to their ability to generate space for proliferation in confined contexts. These data provide an explanation for the apparent advantage of retaining cell-cell junctions in squamous cell carcinomas.
