description: Motivated by low energy effective action of string theory and large applications of BTZ black holes, we will consider minimal coupling between dilaton and nonlinear electromagnetic fields in three dimensions. The main goal is studying thermodynamical structure of black holes in this set up. Temperature and heat capacity of these black holes are investigated and a picture regarding their phase transitions is given. In addition, the role and importance of studying the mass of black holes is highlighted. We will see how different parameters modify thermodynamical quantities, hence thermodynamical structure of these black holes. In addition, geometrical thermodynamics is used to investigate thermodynamical properties of these black holes. In this regard, the successful method is presented and the nature of interaction around bound and phase transition points is studied.

description: Since December 2019, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has spread throughout the world. To eradicate it, it is crucial to acquire a strong and long-lasting anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunity, by either natural infection or vaccination. We collected blood samples 12–305 days after positive polymerase chain reactions (PCRs) from 35 recovered individuals infected by SARS-CoV-2. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated with SARS-CoV-2-derived peptide pools, such as the spike (S), nucleocapsid (N) and membrane (M) proteins, and we quantified anti-S immunoglobulins in plasma. After 10 months post-infection, we observed a sustained SARS-CoV-2-specific CD4+ T-cell response directed against M-protein, but responses against S- or N-proteins were lost over time. Besides, we demonstrated that O-group individuals presented significantly lower frequencies of specific CD4+ T-cell responses against Pep-M than non O-group individuals. The non O-group subjects also needed longer to clear the virus, and they lost cellular immune responses over time, compared to the O-group individuals, who showed a persistent specific immune response against SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the S-specific immune response was lost over time, and individual factors might determine the sustainability of the body’s defenses, which must be considered in the future design of vaccines to achieve continuous anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunity.
Online professional development for teachers of English as a foreign language: Vietnamese faculty's motivations and learning experiences

description: The increasing prevalence of English as an international language has necessitated the opportunities for Teacher Professional Development (TPD) in the countries where English is spoken as a foreign language; and online training programmes have recently emerged as a promising option because of their considerably less cost, more flexibility, high quality and easy access compared to the face-to-face counterpart. According to existing literature, the success of TPD in general and online TPD (oTPD) in particular depends largely on participants‘ motivation to attend and remain in the whole course of learning. Scant research, however, has been done on teachers‘ motivations for TPD, and even more scarce studies can be found in oTPD settings. This research project centred on the English Discovery Online (EDO), an online Teacher Professional Development (oTPD) programme offered for Vietnamese teachers of English in the current National Foreign Languages Project 2020. Employing a qualitative research approach with semi-structured interviews to collect data, this research aims to investigate teachers' motivations to start and remain in the EDO course. From a dynamic and process-oriented view of motivation, the research examines teachers' initial and sustaining motivations for EDO and their attitudes towards oTPD. The results show a positive attitude towards oTPD in general but a wide variation in the reasons why they started EDO and maintained their participation thereafter. There are even contrasting views teachers gave on the factors that affect their motivation, i.e. some factors are found motivating by some teachers, but reported to be demotivating by others. Technology appears to play a significant role in both motivating and demotivating participants in and there seems to be a correlation between their attitudes towards oTPD and their motivation for EDO. This research project is hoped to be useful at both alocal and a wider level. Locally, it is the first attempt to investigate teachers‘ motivations towards online mode of TPD in Vietnamese context. On a wider level, the study‘s findings may contribute to understanding the interrelationship between teachers‘ motivations and different aspects of oTPD, filling in the gap of the overall TPD picture in the literature. Future research is invited to examine the concept on a larger scale that allows for ―triangulation‖ of data and construction of a possible model of teachers‘ motivations for oTPD that can be widely applied across settings. Another direction is to investigate teachers‘ motivations for oTPD in relation to another individual-difference factor such as age, self-efficacy, or to the effectiveness of an oTPD intervention.

description: We deal with kernel theorems for modulation spaces. We completely characterize the continuity of a linear operator on the modulation spaces $M^p$ for every $1\leq p\leq\infty$, by the membership of its kernel to (mixed) modulation spaces. Whereas Feichtinger's kernel theorem (which we recapture as a special case) is the modulation space counterpart of Schwartz' kernel theorem for temperate distributions, our results do not have a couterpart in distribution theory. This reveals the superiority, in some respects, of the modulation space formalism upon distribution theory, as already emphasized in Feichtinger's manifesto for a post-modern harmonic analysis, tailored to the needs of mathematical signal processing. The proof uses in an essential way a discretization of the problem by means of Gabor frames. We also show the equivalence of the operator norm and the modulation space norm of the corresponding kernel. For operators acting on $M^{p,q}$ a similar characterization is not expected, but sufficient conditions for boundedness can be sated in the same spirit.

description: Automatic segmentation of medical images is an important task for many clinical applications. In practice, a wide range of anatomical structures are visualised using different imaging modalities. In this paper, we investigate whether a single convolutional neural network (CNN) can be trained to perform different segmentation tasks. A single CNN is trained to segment six tissues in MR brain images, the pectoral muscle in MR breast images, and the coronary arteries in cardiac CTA. The CNN therefore learns to identify the imaging modality, the visualised anatomical structures, and the tissue classes. For each of the three tasks (brain MRI, breast MRI and cardiac CTA), this combined training procedure resulted in a segmentation performance equivalent to that of a CNN trained specifically for that task, demonstrating the high capacity of CNN architectures. Hence, a single system could be used in clinical practice to automatically perform diverse segmentation tasks without task-specific training.

description: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant loss of human lives and a worldwide decline in quality of life. Treatment of COVID-19 patients is challenging, and specific treatments to reduce COVID-19 aggravation and mortality are still necessary. Here, we describe the discovery of a novel class of epiandrosterone steroidal compounds with cationic amphiphilic properties that present antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 in the low micromolar range. Compounds were identified in screening campaigns using a cytopathic effect-based assay in Vero CCL81 cells, followed by hit compound validation and characterization. Compounds LNB167 and LNB169 were selected due to their ability to reduce the levels of infectious viral progeny and viral RNA levels in Vero CCL81, HEK293, and HuH7.5 cell lines. Mechanistic studies in Vero CCL81 cells indicated that LNB167 and LNB169 inhibited the initial phase of viral replication through mechanisms involving modulation of membrane lipids and cholesterol in host cells. Selection of viral variants resistant to steroidal compound treatment revealed single mutations on transmembrane, lipid membrane-interacting Spike and Envelope proteins. Finally, in vivo testing using the hACE2 transgenic mouse model indicated that SARS-CoV-2 infection could not be ameliorated by LNB167 treatment. We conclude that anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities of steroidal compounds LNB167 and LNB169 are likely host-targeted, consistent with the properties of cationic amphiphilic compounds that modulate host cell lipid biology. Although effective in vitro, protective effects were cell-type specific and did not translate to protection in vivo, indicating that subversion of lipid membrane physiology is an important, yet complex mechanism involved in SARS-CoV-2 replication and pathogenesis.

description: Phylogenetic relationships of D. salsuginis USBA 82T based on analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The evolutionary history was inferred by using the Maximum Likelihood method based on the General Time Reversible model. The percentage of trees in which the associated taxa clustered together is shown next to the branches. Initial tree(s) for the heuristic search were obtained automatically by applying Neighbor-Joining and BioNJ algorithms to a matrix of pairwise distances estimated using the Maximum Composite Likelihood (MCL) approach, and then selecting the topology with superior log likelihood value. A discrete Gamma distribution was used to model evolutionary rate differences among sites (5 categories (+G, parameter = 0.6072)). The rate variation model allowed for some sites to be evolutionarily invariable ([+I], 46.4848% sites). The tree is drawn to scale, with branch lengths measured in the number of substitutions per site. The analysis involved 26 nucleotide sequences. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There was a total of 1090 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were conducted in MEGA 7. (DOCX 72 kb)

description: The accuracy of two equivalent antenna representations, near-field sources and far-field sources, are evaluated for an antenna installed on a simplified platform in a series of case studies using different configurations of equivalent antenna representations. The accuracy is evaluated in terms of installed far-fields and surface currents on the platform. The results show large variations between configurations. The root-mean-square installed far-field error is 4.4% for the most accurate equivalent representation. When using far-field sources, the design parameters have a large influence of the achieved accuracy. There is also a varying accuracy depending on the type of numerical method used. Based on the results, some recommendations on the choice of sub-domain for the equivalent antenna representation are given. In industrial antenna applications, the accuracy in determining e.g. installed far-fields and antenna isolation on large platforms are critical. Equivalent representations can reduce the fine-detail complexity of antennas and thus give an efficient numerical descriptions to be used in large-scale simulations. The results in this paper can be used as a guideline by antenna designers or system engineers when using equivalent sources.

description: We provide characterizations of Lie groups as compact-like groups in which all closed zero-dimensional metric (compact) subgroups are discrete. The "compact-like" properties we consider include (local) compactness, (local) omega-boundedness, (local) countable compactness, (local) precompactness, (local) minimality and sequential completeness. Below is a sample of our characterizations: (i) A topological group is a Lie group if and only if it is locally compact and has no infinite compact metric zero-dimensional subgroups. (ii) An abelian topological group G is a Lie group if and only if G is locally minimal, locally precompact and all closed metric zero-dimensional subgroups of G are discrete. (iii) An abelian topological group is a compact Lie group if and only if it is minimal and has no infinite closed metric zero-dimensional subgroups. (iv) An infinite topological group is a compact Lie group if and only if it is sequentially complete, precompact, locally minimal, contains a non-empty open connected subset and all its compact metric zero-dimensional subgroups are finite.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Investigation in the changes in metalic materials as a result of heating

description: Steel and aluminium are two of the most commonly used metals, ans are used in many industries. As the manufacturing processes involved with these metals often involve high temperatures, it is important to understand the consequences of exposing the metals to these temperatures. Steel welding and aluminium extruding are manufacturing processes which involve the heating of the metal. Steel welding involves high temperatures in order to fuse two pieces of metal together, however these high temperatures cause the properties and microstructure of the metal in a localised area to change. On the other hand, aluminium extrusion requires the metal to be preheated before the process to reduce the forces required to shape the metal. As undesirable properties occur as a result of the elevated temperatures during steel welding, heat treatments may be applied to optimise the final properties and microstructure. During the aluminium extrusion process imperfections may occur, causing the final product to be flawed, this was the case at Capral with an extrusion of cladding causing the part to be rejected by the architect. AS a result an investigation on the cause of the imperfection was launched. In order to investigate the properties of both the welded steel joints and aluminium extrusion, specimens were created, cut, hot mounted, polished and chemical etched, so that the Vickers hardness test and microscopy analysis could be performed. The findings of this report suggest that annealing is the most appropriate heat treatment to optimise the properties of the welded steel joints. Further research should be conducted into the annealing conditions in order to optimise the properties and microstructure of the welded steel. Through testing it was found that the properties and microstructure of the aluminium extrusion were not the cause of the imperfection, however through further testing of the profile of the extrusion, it was found that the flow rate in the extrusion die caused the imperfections. As a result it is suggested that modifications be made on the design of the extrusion die to remove the imperfection.

description: We have computed the hadronic light-by-light (LbL) contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment $a_μ$ in the frame of Chiral Perturbation Theory with the inclusion of the lightest resonance multiplets as dynamical fields (R$χ$T). It is essential to give a more accurate prediction of this hadronic contribution due to the future projects of J-Parc and FNAL on reducing the uncertainty in this observable. We, therefore, computed the pseudoscalar transition form factor and proposed the measurement of the $e^+e^-\toμ^+μ^-π^0$ cross section and dimuon invariant mass spectrum to determine more accurately its parameters. Then, we evaluated the pion exchange contribution to $a_μ$, obtaining $(6.66\pm0.21)\cdot10^{-10}$. By comparing the pion exchange contribution and the pion-pole approximation to the corresponding transition form factor ($π$TFF) we recalled that the latter underestimates the complete $π$TFF by (15-20)\%. Then, we obtained the $η^({}'^)$ TFF, obtaining a total contribution of the lightest pseudoscalar exchanges of $(10.47\pm0.54)\cdot10^{-10}$, in agreement with previous results and with smaller error.

From conservative to dissipative systemsthrough quadratic change of time, with application to the curve-shortening flow

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: We provide several examples of dissipative systems that can be obtained from conservative ones through a simple, quadratic,change of time. A typical example is the curve-shortening flow in R^d, which is a particular case ofmean-curvature flow with co-dimension higher than one (except in the case d=2).Through such a change of time, this flow can be formally derived from the conservative model of vibrating strings obtainedfrom the Nambu-Goto action. Using the concept of "relative entropy" (or "modulated energy"), borrowed from the theoryof hyperbolic systems of conservation laws, we introduce a notion of generalized solutions,that we call dissipative solutions, for the curve-shortening flow. For given initial conditions, the set of generalized solutionsis convex, compact, if not empty. Smooth solutions to the curve-shortening flow are always unique in this setting.

description: Elliptic curve cryptography provides a secure means of implementing the Digital Signature Algorithm protocol through the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm scheme. The ECDSA upholds the data security objectives of information authentication and non-reputability. Similarly, the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman upholds information confidentiality and information integrity, are expensive to implement up to certain security standards, with timeliness and size of circuit required to perform either scheme being the main considerations. To have any appreciable speed, they must be implemented in digital hardware design. This project outlines the design methodology and procedure of simulating a generalisable implementation of an Elliptic Curve Cryptographic Processor, able to effectively utilise both the ECDH and ECDSA, over any chosen bit length.

description: We recently introduced a quantized fluctuational electrodynamics (QFED) formalism that provides a physically insightful definition of an effective position-dependent photon-number operator and the associated ladder operators. However, this far the formalism has been applicable only for the normal incidence of the electromagnetic field in planar structures. In this work, we overcome the main limitation of the one-dimensional QFED formalism by extending the model to three dimensions, allowing us to use the QFED method to study, e.g., plasmonic structures. To demonstrate the benefits of the developed formalism, we apply it to study the local steady-state photon numbers and field temperatures in a light-emitting near-surface InGaN quantum-well structure with a metallic coating supporting surface plasmons.

description: Vibrio splendidus is the main opportunistic pathogen that causes skin ulcer syndrome in Apostichopus japonicus. hppDIn the present study, mutant V. splendidus with an in-frame deletion of hppDV.s. (MTVs) was constructed. The median lethal doses of wild-type V. splendidus (WTVs) and MTVs were 5.129 × 106 and 2.606 × 1010 CFU mL−1, respectively. RNA-Seq was performed using WTVs and MTVs cells at different growth stages to explore the mechanisms of the pathogenesis mediated by hppDV.s. Gene Ontology analysis showed that the expression levels of 105 genes involved in amino acid metabolism and protein binding were remarkably different between MTVs and WTVs. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis showed that the pathways of glutamate metabolism and flagellum assembly involved in biofilm formation and swarming motility were suppressed in MTVs. Correspondingly, the swarming motility, biofilm formation and colonisation of MTVs were remarkably decreased compared with those of WTVs. The results showed that 4-hppD catalyses tyrosine into fumarate, which could enhance glutamate metabolism and ATP production; promote flagellum assembly through the TCA cycle and lead to higher swarming, biofilm formation and colonisation abilities, to contribute to the pathogenesis of V. splendidus.

There exists an infinite number of constant mean curvature tori, but we also deal with more general configurations. The marginally trapped toroids have been found analytically and numerically; they are unstable. The topologically toroidal trapped surfaces appear in a finite region surrounded by the Schwarzschild horizon.

description: In the Letter by Nanette N. Jarenwattananon and Louis-S. Bouchard [PRL 114, 197601 (2015)] an NMR experiment on gases in the presence of a magnetic-field gradient has been considered. As distinct from the traditional description of molecular self-diffusion, the authors calculate the decoherence of the signal taking into account the histories of molecular displacements. For this purpose the generalized Langevin equation (GLE) is applied. We show that the use of this equation is inappropriate. The calculations performed in the Letter are not correct and do not lead to the reported revised expression for line broadening that takes into account the autocorrelation effects in the diffusion process. The surprising temperature behavior of the observed NMR signal is thus not explained. In particular, the linewidth does not follow the power law f ~ T^(-1/2) at high temperatures. We give also Remarks on the Jarenwattananon and Bouchard Reply [Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 249702 (2016)].

description: A prominent feature of topological insulators (TIs) is the surface states comprising of spin-nondegenerate massless Dirac fermions. Recent technical advances have made it possible to address the surface transport properties of TI thin films while tuning the Fermi levels of both top and bottom surfaces across the Dirac point by electrostatic gating. This opened the window for studying the spin-nondegenerate Dirac physics peculiar to TIs. Here we report our discovery of a novel planar Hall effect (PHE) from the TI surface, which results from a hitherto-unknown resistivity anisotropy induced by an in-plane magnetic field. This effect is observed in dual-gated devices of bulk-insulating Bi$_{2-x}$Sb$_{x}$Te$_{3}$ thin films, in which both top and bottom surfaces are gated. The origin of PHE is the peculiar time-reversal-breaking effect of an in-plane magnetic field, which anisotropically lifts the protection of surface Dirac fermions from back-scattering. The key signature of the field-induced anisotropy is a strong dependence on the gate voltage with a characteristic two-peak structure near the Dirac point which is explained theoretically using a self-consistent T-matrix approximation. The observed PHE provides a new tool to analyze and manipulate the topological protection of the TI surface in future experiments.

description: We present results from a near/mid IR search for submillimetre galaxies over a region of 6230 sq deg. of the southern sky. We used a cross-correlation of the VISTA Hemispheric Survey (VHS) and the WISE database to identify bright galaxies (K_s <= 18.2) with near/mid IR colours similar to those of the high redshift lensed sub-mm galaxy SMM J2135-0102. We find 7 galaxies which fulfill all five adopted near/mid IR colour (NMIRQC) criteria and resemble the SED of the reference galaxy at these wavelengths. For these galaxies, which are broadly distributed in the sky, we determined photometric redshifts in the range z=1.6-3.2. We searched the VHS for clusters of galaxies, which may be acting as gravitational lenses, and found that 6 out of the 7 galaxies are located within 3.5 arcmin of a cluster/group of galaxies. Using the J-K_s vs J sequences we determine photometric redshifts for these clusters/groups in the range z=0.2-0.9. We propose the newly identified sources are ultra-bright high redshift lensed SMG candidates. Follow-up observations in the sub-mm and mm are key to determine the ultimate nature of these objects.

description: Social graph construction from various sources has been of interest to researchers due to its application potential and the broad range of technical challenges involved. The World Wide Web provides a huge amount of continuously updated data and information on a wide range of topics created by a variety of content providers, and makes the study of extracted people networks and their temporal evolution valuable for social as well as computer scientists. In this paper we present SocGraph - an extraction and exploration system for social relations from the content of around 2 billion web pages collected by the Internet Archive over the 17 years time period between 1996 and 2013. We describe methods for constructing large social graphs from extracted relations and introduce an interface to study their temporal evolution.

description: The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused a significant loss of human lives and a worldwide decline in quality of life. Treatment of COVID-19 patients is challenging, and specific treatments to reduce COVID-19 aggravation and mortality are still necessary. Here, we describe the discovery of a novel class of epiandrosterone steroidal compounds with cationic amphiphilic properties that present antiviral activity against SARS-CoV-2 in the low micromolar range. Compounds were identified in screening campaigns using a cytopathic effect-based assay in Vero CCL81 cells, followed by hit compound validation and characterization. Compounds LNB167 and LNB169 were selected due to their ability to reduce the levels of infectious viral progeny and viral RNA levels in Vero CCL81, HEK293, and HuH7.5 cell lines. Mechanistic studies in Vero CCL81 cells indicated that LNB167 and LNB169 inhibited the initial phase of viral replication through mechanisms involving modulation of membrane lipids and cholesterol in host cells. Selection of viral variants resistant to steroidal compound treatment revealed single mutations on transmembrane, lipid membrane-interacting Spike and Envelope proteins. Finally, in vivo testing using the hACE2 transgenic mouse model indicated that SARS-CoV-2 infection could not be ameliorated by LNB167 treatment. We conclude that anti-SARS-CoV-2 activities of steroidal compounds LNB167 and LNB169 are likely host-targeted, consistent with the properties of cationic amphiphilic compounds that modulate host cell lipid biology. Although effective in vitro, protective effects were cell-type specific and did not translate to protection in vivo, indicating that subversion of lipid membrane physiology is an important, yet complex mechanism involved in SARS-CoV-2 replication and pathogenesis.

description: We experimentally demonstrate four-wave-mixing spectroscopy using frequency combs. The experiment uses a geometry where excitation pulses and four-wave-mixing signals generated by a sample co-propagate. We separate them in the radio frequency domain by heterodyne detection with a local oscillator comb that has a different repetition frequency.

description: We introduce a method to create mock galaxy catalogues in redshift space including general relativistic effects to linear order in the cosmological perturbations. We dub our method LIGER, short for `light cones with general relativity'. LIGER takes a (N-body or hydrodynamic) Newtonian simulation as an input and outputs the distribution of galaxies in comoving redshift space. This result is achieved making use of a coordinate transformation and simultaneously accounting for lensing magnification. The calculation includes both local corrections and terms that have been integrated along the line of sight. Our fast implementation allows the production of many realizations that can be used to forecast the performance of forthcoming wide-angle surveys and to estimate the covariance matrix of the observables. To facilitate this use, we also present a variant of LIGER designed for large-volume simulations with low mass resolution. In this case, the galaxy distribution on large scales is obtained by biasing the matter-density field. Finally, we present two sample applications of LIGER. First, we discuss the impact of weak gravitational lensing onto the angular clustering of galaxies in a Euclid-like survey. In agreement with previous analytical studies, we find that magnification bias can be measured with high confidence. Second, we focus on two generally neglected Doppler-induced effects: magnification and the change of number counts with redshift. We show that the corresponding redshift-space distortions can be detected at 5.5$σ$ significance with the completed Square Kilometre Array.
