description: The observability of electronic coherence in electron transfer reactions is discussed. We show that under appropriate circumstances large-amplitude oscillations can be found in the electronic occupation probabilities. The initial preparation of the system is of crucial importance for this effect, and we discuss conditions under which experiments detecting electronic coherence should be feasible. The Feynman-Vernon influence functional formalism is extended to examine more general and experimentally relevant initial preparations. Analytical expressions and path integral quantum dynamics simulations were developed to study the effects of various initial preparations on the observability of electronic coherence.

description: Resistance, magnetoresistance and their temperature dependencies have been investigated in the 2D hole gas at a [001] p-GaAs/Al$_{0.5}$Ga$_{0.5}$As heterointerface under [110] uniaxial compression. Analysis performed in the frame of hole-hole scattering between carriers in the two spin splitted subbands of the ground heavy hole state indicates, that h-h scattering is strongly suppressed by uniaxial compression. The decay time $τ_{01}$ of the relative momentum reveals 4.5 times increase at a uniaxial compression of 1.3 kbar.

description: We examine Friedmann-Robertson-Walker models in three spacetime dimensions. The matter content of the models is composed of a perfect fluid, with a $γ$-law equation of state, and a homogeneous scalar field minimally coupled to gravity with a self-interacting potential whose energy density red-shifts as $a^{-2 ν}$, where a denotes the scale factor. Cosmological solutions are presented for different range of values of $γ$ and $ν$. The potential required to agree with the above red-shift for the scalar field energy density is also calculated.

title: Influences of the Loggerhead Sponge (Spheciospongia Vesparium) and the Vase Sponge (Ircinia Campana) on Nearshore Hard-Bottom Community Development in the Florida Keys

description: Sponges, octocorals, and stony corals are the dominant sessile fauna within shallow, hard-bottom communities in the Florida Keys, FL (USA). The sponge component of these communities is not well studied and has been cyclically decimated from as early as 1844, most recently in south-central Florida Bay in 1991 and 1992, in apparent association with phytoplankton blooms. The purpose of this research was to examine ways in which sponges may contribute to the maintenance of hard-bottom communities. Specifically, I investigated: 1) the effect of sponges and physical structures on local sea floor scouring and thus the potential for maintenance of hard-bottom; 2) the growth and survival of sponge transplants inside and outside of areas historically susceptible to sponge die offs; and 3) the influence of sponges and physical structures on the recruitment of hard-bottom fauna onto artificial substrates. Sponges induce turbulent flow and increase scouring of the benthos immediately adjacent to them under both high and low-flow conditions. In general, the effect of large sponges on scouring was slightly greater than that of similar sized boulders. Loggerhead sponge and Vase sponge transplants grew better in the region subjected to recent sponge die offs than they did elsewhere, including the sites from which they originated. Settlement patterns of invertebrates around sponges could not be quantified as designed due to experimental failure. However, periodic observations of settlement plates revealed a gradual succession from a monotypic stand of red macroalgae (Laurencia sp.) after one year, to a mix of red and green macroalgae, one sponge species (Chondrilla sp.), and small corals (probably Siderastrea radians) by the third year. Furthermore, known spongivorous macroinvertebrates sheltered under the settlement plates and their presence may have altered hard-bottom community development. The results of this study show that sponges can thrive in areas previously impacted by sponge mass mortalities if they can successfully recolonize those areas. Once an area is colonized, sponges may contribute to the persistence of hard-bottom habitat by enhancing local benthic scouring and thus precluding sedimentation and succession to seagrass.

description: We report a comprehensive structural and valence study of the intermediate valent materials YbNiGa$_{4}$ and YbNiIn$_{4}$ under pressures up to 60 GPa. YbNiGa$_{4}$ undergoes a smooth volume contraction and shows steady increase in Yb-valence with pressure, though the Yb-valence reaches saturation around 25 GPa. In YbNiIn$_{4}$, a change in pressure dependence of the volume and a peak in Yb-valence suggest a pressure induced electronic topological transition occurs around 10-14 GPa. In the pressure region where YbNiIn$_{4}$ and YbNiGa$_{4}$ possess similar Yb-Yb spacings the Yb-valence reveals a precipitous drop. This drop is not captured by density-functional-theory calculations and implies that both the lattice degrees of freedom and the chemical environment play an important role in establishing the valence of Yb.

Evidence-based nutritional recommendations address the health impact of suboptimal nutritional status. Efficacy randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have traditionally been the preferred method for determining the effects of nutritional interventions on health outcomes. Nevertheless, obtaining a holistic understanding of intervention efficacy and effectiveness in real-world settings is stymied by inherent constraints of efficacy RCTs. These limitations are further compounded by the complexity of nutritional interventions and the intricacies of the clinical context. Herein, we explore the advantages and limitations of alternative study designs (e.g., adaptive and pragmatic trials), which can be incorporated into RCTs to optimize the efficacy or effectiveness of interventions in clinical nutrition research. Efficacy RCTs often lack external validity due to their fixed design and restrictive eligibility criteria, leading to efficacy-effectiveness and evidence-practice gaps. Adaptive trials improve the evaluation of nutritional intervention efficacy through planned study modifications, such as recalculating sample sizes or discontinuing a study arm. Pragmatic trials are embedded within clinical practice or conducted in settings that resemble standard of care, enabling a more comprehensive assessment of intervention effectiveness. Pragmatic trials often rely on patient-oriented primary outcomes, acquire outcome data from electronic health records, and employ broader eligibility criteria. Consequently, adaptive and pragmatic trials facilitate the prompt implementation of evidence-based nutritional recommendations into clinical practice. Recognizing the limitations of efficacy RCTs and the potential advantages of alternative trial designs is essential for bridging efficacy-effectiveness and evidence-practice gaps. Ultimately, this awareness will lead to a greater number of patients benefiting from evidence-based nutritional recommendations.

Moreover, {\it energy doubling} is established, i.e., the energy of sign-changing solution $w_λ$ is strictly larger than twice that of the ground state energy for $λ>0$ large. Finally, for any sequence $λ_n\rightarrow\infty$ as $n\rightarrow\infty$, up to a subsequence, $λ_n^{\frac{1}{p-2}}w_{λ_n}\rg w$ strongly in $H_{rad}^1(\R^2)$ as $n\rightarrow\infty$, where $w$ is a sign-changing solution of $$ -\triangle {u}+ωu=|u|^{p-2}u,\,\,u\in H_{rad}^1(\R^2). $$

description: The Curie temperature and x-ray photoemission spectra of thin films of La_{0.67}(Ca_{x}Sr_{1-x})_{0.33}MnO_{3} (LCSMO) have been studied as a function of the Ca/Sr ratio. The films were grown by off-axis cosputtering from individual targets of La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_{3} (LCMO) and La_{0.67}Sr_{0.33}MnO_{3} (LSMO) onto (100) oriented NdGaO_{3} substrates. The films grow with a (100) orientation, with no other orientations observed by x-ray diffraction. For the alloy mixtures, the Curie temperature, T_C, varies slowly as the Ca/Sr is decreased, remaining $\approx$ 300 K, while for the LCMO and LSMO films T_C is 260 and 330 K, respectively. The Mn-O valence structure is composed of two dominant peaks, whose positions undergo a change as the Ca fraction is decreased. The core lines behave as linear combinations of lines from pure LCMO and LSMO.

description: Dentro de las modalidades de aprovechamiento para el turismo, han surgido desde la década de los noventas, el turismo alternativo que a su vez contempla diversas formas para realizar la actividad, tal como el turismo rural, deportivo, extremo y por supuesto el ecológico. Parece que esta última forma ha sido utilizada por las empresas de viajes como una estrategia para vender sus servicios al mejor postor, sin tomar en cuenta que la principal causa del deterioro es la presencia excesiva de personas y el mal comportamiento de alguna de ellas. De esta forma, se plantea aquí el tratamiento de la planeación de sitios y senderos bajo la perspectiva de la Capacidad de Carga Turística desarrollada por Miguel Cifuentes y otros investigadores, como estrategia para controlar el uso excesivo de dichas áreas y senderos de uso público o definido para el uso turístico. En este sentido, es una preocupación para la Universidad de Guadalajara el poder formar profesionistas con un criterio orientado hacia la sustentabilidad y el respeto a los entornos, tanto sociales como naturales, para el desempeño de su profesión, ya que el turismo ha sido una actividad aso- ciada con la transformación y depredación. Cuando de manera responsable y fomentando la educación con valores y orientada hacia la cultura de la paz, el egresado podrá realizar sus planes y proyectos basado en estrategias que lo lleven a la consecución de objetivos respetando a las comunidades receptoras y fomentando el cuidado, en este caso, utilizando como herramienta la metodología ya referida anteriormente.
Boson stars driven to the brink of black hole formation

description: We present a study of black hole threshold phenomena for a self-gravitating, massive complex scalar field in spherical symmetry. We construct Type I critical solutions dynamically by tuning a one-parameter family of initial data composed of a boson star and a massless real scalar field. The real field is used to perturb the boson star via a gravitational interaction which results in a {\em significant} transfer of energy. The resulting critical solutions, which show great similarity with unstable boson stars, persist for a finite time before dispersing or forming a black hole. We extend the stability analysis of Gleiser and Watkins [Nucl. Phys. B319, 733 (1989)], providing a method for calculating the radial dependence of boson star modes of nonzero frequency. We find good agreement between our critical solutions and boson star modes. For critical solutions less than 90% of the maximum boson star mass $M_{\rm max} \simeq 0.633 M_{Pl}^2/m$, a small halo of matter appears in the tail of the solution. This halo appears to be an artifact of the collision between the original boson star and the real field, and does not belong to the true critical solution. It seems that unstable boson stars are unstable to dispersal in addition to black hole formation. Given the similarity in macroscopic stability between boson and neutron stars, we suggest that neutron stars at or beyond the point of instability may also be unstable to explosion.

We point out that de Sitter space in arbitrary dimensions arises naturally as the vacuum of this theory. This explicitly shows how de Sitter space can be embedded into eleven-dimensional supergravity. In addition we discuss the novel way in which this theory avoids various `no-go theorems' which assert that de Sitter space is not a consistent vacua of eleven-dimensional supergravity theory. We also point out that the eight-branes of this theory, which couple electrically to the ten-form, can sweep out de Sitter world-volumes.

description: Incorporating knowledge graph (KG) into recommender system is promising in improving the recommendation accuracy and explainability. However, existing methods largely assume that a KG is complete and simply transfer the "knowledge" in KG at the shallow level of entity raw data or embeddings. This may lead to suboptimal performance, since a practical KG can hardly be complete, and it is common that a KG has missing facts, relations, and entities. Thus, we argue that it is crucial to consider the incomplete nature of KG when incorporating it into recommender system. In this paper, we jointly learn the model of recommendation and knowledge graph completion. Distinct from previous KG-based recommendation methods, we transfer the relation information in KG, so as to understand the reasons that a user likes an item. As an example, if a user has watched several movies directed by (relation) the same person (entity), we can infer that the director relation plays a critical role when the user makes the decision, thus help to understand the user's preference at a finer granularity. Technically, we contribute a new translation-based recommendation model, which specially accounts for various preferences in translating a user to an item, and then jointly train it with a KG completion model by combining several transfer schemes. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art KG-based recommendation methods. Further analysis verifies the positive effect of joint training on both tasks of recommendation and KG completion, and the advantage of our model in understanding user preference. We publish our project at https://github.com/TaoMiner/joint-kg-recommender.

description: This article develops and evaluates a set of expectations regarding the mechanisms via which democratic experience could shape support for democracy. In line with previous studies, one straightforward possibility considered is that experience with democracy fosters greater affective support for democracy, making citizens of old democracies more supportive of this regime independently of government performance and other characteristics. Another possibility considered is that democratic experience mediates the importance of performance assessments in citizens’ judgments about democracy, decreasing the importance of economic performance assessments, while increasing that of political performance assessments. Statistical analyses of public opinion data from 23 countries in the Americas indicate that the effect of democratic experience on support for democracy is not statistically significant. Rather, democratic experience conditions the effects of performance assessments on support for democracy. The evidence also supports the assertion that experience with democracy, and not economic development, is what conditions the effects of performance assessments on support for democracy.

description: The microscopic theory of superconducting (SC) state in the SU(2) slave-boson model is developed. We show how the pseudogap and Fermi surface (FS) segments in the normal state develop into a d-wave gap in the superconducting state. Even though the superfluid density is of order x (the doping concentration), the physical properties of the low lying quasiparticles are found to resemble those in BCS theory. Thus the microscopic theory lay the foundation for our earlier phenomenological discussion of the unusual SC properties in the underdoped cuprates.

description: We investigate sputtering of a Ti3SiC2 compound target at temperatures ranging from RT (no applied external heating) to 970 oC as well as the influence of the sputtering power at 850 oC for the deposition of Ti3SiC2 films on Al2O3(0001) substrates. Elemental composition obtained from time-of-flight energy elastic recoil detection analysis shows an excess of carbon in all films, which is explained by differences in angular distribution between C, Si and Ti, where C scatters the least during sputtering. The oxygen content is 2.6 at.% in the film deposited at RT and decreases with increasing deposition temperature, showing that higher temperatures favor high purity films. Chemical bonding analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows C-Ti and Si-C bonding in the Ti3SiC2 films and Si-Si bonding in the Ti3SiC2 compound target. X-ray diffraction reveals that the phases Ti3SiC2, Ti4SiC3, and Ti7Si2C5 can be deposited from a Ti3SiC2 compound target at substrate temperatures above 850 oC and with growth of TiC and the Nowotny phase Ti5Si3Cx at lower temperatures. High-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy shows epitaxial growth of Ti3SiC2, Ti4SiC3, and Ti7Si2C5 on TiC at 970 oC. Four-point probe resistivity measurements give values in the range 120 to 450 micro-Ohm-cm and with the lowest values obtained for films containing Ti3SiC2, Ti4SiC3, and Ti7Si2C5.

The interplay between the high non linearity of the system --coming from the Coulomb interaction-- and the inter-Landau-level scattering at the domain walls (regions of charge accumulation inside the superlattice) gives rise to new unstable negative differential conductance regions and extra stable branches in the sawtooth-like I-V curves.

description: A method has been developed for obtaining equivalent linear two-body equations (ELTBE) for the system of many ($N$) bosons using the variational principle. The method has been applied to the one-dimensional N-body problem with pair-wise contact interactions (McGurie-Yang N-body problem) and to the dilute Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of atoms in anisotropic harmonic traps at zero temperature. For both cases, it is shown that the method gives excellent results for large N.

description: We consider random multimodal $C^3$ maps with negative Schwarzian derivative, defined on a finite union of closed intervals in $[0,1]$, onto the interval $[0,1]$ with the base space $Ω$ and a base invertible ergodic map $θ:Ω\toΩ$ preserving a probability measure $m$ on $Ω$. We denote the corresponding skew product map by $T$ and call it a critically finite random map of an interval. We prove that there exists a subset $AA(T)$ of $[0,1]$ with the following properties: (1) For each $t\in AA(T)$ a $t$-conformal random measure $ν_t$ exists. We denote by $λ_{t,ν_t,ω}$ the corresponding generalized eigenvalues of the corresponding dual operators $\mathcal{L}_{t,ω}^*$, $ω\inΩ$. (2) Given $t\ge 0$ any two $t$-conformal random measures are equivalent. (3) The expected topological pressure of the parameter $t$: $$\mathcal{E}P(t):=\int_Ω\logλ_{t,ν,ω}dm(ω) $$ is independent of the choice of a $t$-conformal random measure $ν$. (4) The function $$ AA(T)\ni t\longmapsto \mathcal{E}P(t)\in\mathbb R $$ is monotone decreasing and Lipschitz continuous. (5) With $b_T$ being defined as the supremum of such parameters $t\in AA(T)$ that $\mathcal{E}P(t)\ge 0$, it holds that $$ \mathcal{E}P(b_T)=0 \ \ \ {\rm and} \ \ \ [0,b_T]\subset \text{Int}(AA(T)). $$ (6) $\text{HD}(\mathcal{J}_ω(T))=b_T$ for $m$-a.e $ω\inΩ$, where $\mathcal{J}_ω(T)$, $ω\inΩ$, form the random closed set generated by the skew product map $T$. (7) $b_T=1$ if and only if $\bigcup_{Δ\in \mathcal{G}}Δ=[0,1]$, and then $\mathcal{J}_ω(T)=[0,1]$ for all $ω\inΩ$.

description: Newsworthy events are broadcast through multiple mediums and prompt the crowds to produce comments on social media. In this paper, we propose to leverage on this behavioral dynamics to estimate the most relevant time periods for an event (i.e., query). Recent advances have shown how to improve the estimation of the temporal relevance of such topics. In this approach, we build on two major novelties. First, we mine temporal evidences from hundreds of external sources into topic-based external collections to improve the robustness of the detection of relevant time periods. Second, we propose a formal retrieval model that generalizes the use of the temporal dimension across different aspects of the retrieval process. In particular, we show that temporal evidence of external collections can be used to (i) infer a topic's temporal relevance, (ii) select the query expansion terms, and (iii) re-rank the final results for improved precision. Experiments with TREC Microblog collections show that the proposed time-aware retrieval model makes an effective and extensive use of the temporal dimension to improve search results over the most recent temporal models. Interestingly, we observe a strong correlation between precision and the temporal distribution of retrieved and relevant documents.

description: Haloxyfop was reported to exhibit inhibition effect targeting Mycobacterium tuberculosis and pathogenic parasites. To pave its way for drug development, more research is required to determine the affinities interacting with biological receptors in vivo. In this work, the interactions of Haloxyfop with two model transport proteins were investigated by spectroscopic techniques and theoretical simulation. The interaction mechanism, thermodynamic properties and the impact of Haloxyfop-induced conformational change in serum albumins were revealed by series of fluorescence, UV-Vis absorption and circular dichroic spectroscopy. The specific binding sites were determined by site-competitive replacement experiment. Molecular docking and dynamic simulation provided a visual screening in the microscopic binding mode. The structure of Haloxyfop was roughly divided into three parts that exhibit different covalent interaction affinities. The two isomers of Haloxyfop showed a certain degree of affinity difference. Hydrophobic, polar interaction and π-effect were analyzed in detail, and the surface electrostatic potential energy maps were simulated to provide references. The free energy, calculated by the molecular mechanics-generalized born surface area (MM-GBSA) and molecular mechanics-Poisson Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) methods, was decomposed to per-residues, which intuitively revealed relevant contributions in binding process. The role of water existence was explored through molecular dynamic refinement, and the frontier molecular orbital analysis explored the ionic interaction mechanism in electronic level. In general, multiple chemistry method was adopted to fully unravel the properties of Haloxyfop-binding for the sake of rationalizing the applicability as a therapeutic agent.

A Comparative Study of Feature Selection Methods for Dialectal Arabic Sentiment Classification Using Support Vector Machine
Creators: name: Al-Harbi, Omar
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Unlike other languages, the Arabic language has a morphological complexity which makes the Arabic sentiment analysis is a challenging task. Moreover, the presence of the dialects in the Arabic texts have made the sentiment analysis task is more challenging, due to the absence of specific rules that govern the writing or speaking system. Generally, one of the problems of sentiment analysis is the high dimensionality of the feature vector. To resolve this problem, many feature selection methods have been proposed. In contrast to the dialectal Arabic language, these selection methods have been investigated widely for the English language. This work investigated the effect of feature selection methods and their combinations on dialectal Arabic sentiment classification. The feature selection methods are Information Gain (IG), Correlation, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Gini Index (GI), and Chi-Square. A number of experiments were carried out on dialectical Jordanian reviews with using an SVM classifier. Furthermore, the effect of different term weighting schemes, stemmers, stop words removal, and feature models on the performance were investigated. The experimental results showed that the best performance of the SVM classifier was obtained after the SVM and correlation feature selection methods had been combined with the uni-gram model.

description: This article develops and evaluates a set of expectations regarding the mechanisms via which democratic experience could shape support for democracy. In line with previous studies, one straightforward possibility considered is that experience with democracy fosters greater affective support for democracy, making citizens of old democracies more supportive of this regime independently of government performance and other characteristics. Another possibility considered is that democratic experience mediates the importance of performance assessments in citizens’ judgments about democracy, decreasing the importance of economic performance assessments, while increasing that of political performance assessments. Statistical analyses of public opinion data from 23 countries in the Americas indicate that the effect of democratic experience on support for democracy is not statistically significant. Rather, democratic experience conditions the effects of performance assessments on support for democracy. The evidence also supports the assertion that experience with democracy, and not economic development, is what conditions the effects of performance assessments on support for democracy.
