description: First-principles calculation of the standard formation enthalpy, $ΔH_f^\circ$ (298K), in such large scale as required by chemical space explorations, is amenable only with density functional approximations (DFAs) and some composite wave function theories (cWFTs). Alas, the accuracies of popular range-separated hybrid, `rung-4' DFAs, and cWFTs that offer the best accuracy-vs.-cost trade-off have as yet been established only for datasets predominantly comprising small molecules, hence, their transferability to larger datasets remains vague. In this study, we present an extended benchmark dataset of over 1600 values of $ΔH_f^\circ$ for structurally and electronically diverse molecules. We apply quartile-ranking based on boundary-corrected kernel density estimation to filter outliers and arrive at Probabilistically Pruned Enthalpies of 1694 compounds (PPE1694). For this dataset, we rank the prediction accuracies of G4, G4(MP2), ccCA, CBS-QB3 and 23 popular DFAs using conventional and probabilistic error metrics. We discuss systematic prediction errors and highlight the role an empirical higher-level correction (HLC) plays in the G4(MP2) model. Furthermore, we comment on uncertainties associated with the reference empirical data for atoms and the systematic errors stemming from these that grow with the molecular size. We believe these findings to aid in identifying meaningful application domains for quantum thermochemical methods.

description: The influence of surface small scale magnetic field on the heating of PSR J0250+5854 polar cap is considered. It is assumed that polar cap is heated only by reverse positrons, accelerated in pulsar diode. It is supposed that pulsar diode is in stationary state with lower plate nearby the star surface (polar cap model), occupies all pulsar tube crosssection and operates in regime of steady space charge limited electron flow. The influence of small scale magnetic field on electric field inside pulsar diode is taken into account. To calculate the electron-positron pairs production rate we take into account only the curvature radiation of primary electrons and its absorption in magnetic field. It is assumed that part of electro-positron pairs may be created in bound state (positronium). And later such positroniums are photoionized by thermal photons from star surface.

description: We consider algebraic geometrical properties of the integrable billiard on a quadric Q with elastic impacts along another quadric confocal to Q. These properties are in sharp contrast with those of the ellipsoidal Birkhoff billiards. Namely, generic complex invariant manifolds are not Abelian varieties, and the billiard map is no more algebraic. A Poncelet-like theorem for such system is known. We give explicit sufficient conditions both for closed geodesics and periodic billiard orbits on Q and discuss their relation with the elliptic KdV solutions and elliptic Calogero system

description: We investigate irreversible investment behavior under uncertainty of payoffs using U.S. firm-level panel data. We estimate the relationship between the firm’s investment to capital ratio and the interest rate, while controlling for investment opportunities, real option values, uncertainty and profitability. The results indicate the investment demand curve is a backward-bending function of the interest rate; at low interest rates, an increase in the interest rate leads to increased investment by increasing the cost of postponing investment. Firm investment behavior is also consistent with real options behavior. The investment behavior of agribusiness firms is significantly different from firms in other sectors.

description: The U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 mandates the production of 16 billion gallons of cellulosic biofuels by 2022. Desirable feedstock properties, biomass to biofuel conversion rate, and investment required in plant and equipment differs depending on which of several competing technologies is used. The objective is to determine the breakeven ethanol price for a cellulosic biorefinery. A comprehensive mathematical programming model that encompasses the chain from land acquisition to ethanol production was constructed and solved. For a capital requirement of $400 million for a 100 million gallons per year plant and a conversion rate of 100 gallons of ethanol per dry ton, the breakeven ethanol price is $1.91 per gallon: $0.20 for land rental and switchgrass production; $0.14 for feedstock harvest; $0.18 for feedstock storage and transportation; $0.75 for biorefinery operation and maintenance; and $0.64 for biorefinery investment. Biomass to ethanol conversion rate and the cost of biorefinery construction, operation, and maintenance are critical issues.

description: Centimeter scale aligned carbon nanotube arrays are grown from nanoparticle metal catalyst pads. We find the nanotubes grow both with and against the wind. A metal underlayer provides in-situ electrical contact to these long nanotubes with no post growth processing needed. Using the electrically contacted nanotubes, we study electrical transport of 0.4 cm long nanotubes. The source drain I-V curves are quantitatively described by a classical, diffusive model. Our measurements show that the outstanding transport properties of nanotubes can be extended to the cm scale and open the door to large scale integrated nanotube circuits with macroscopic dimensions.

The free energy of the DWs is calculated to leading order beyond the Gaussian approximation. Thermodynamic instabilities (e.g. DNA unzipping and/or thermal denaturation) can be understood in terms of DW formation.

Probing the CP-violating light neutral Higgs in the charged Higgs decay at the LHC

description: The CP-violating MSSM allows existence of a light neutral Higgs boson ($M_{H_1} \lapp 50$ GeV) in the CPX scenario in the low $\tan β(\lapp 5)$ region, which could have escaped the LEP searches due to a strongly suppressed $H_1 Z Z$ coupling. This parameter space corresponds to a relatively light $H^\pm$ ($M_{H^\pm} < M_t$), which is predicted to decay dominantly into the $W H_1$ channel. Thus one expects to see a striking $t \bar t$ signal at the LHC, where one of the top quarks decays into the $bb \bar b W$ channel, via $t \to b H^\pm, H^\pm \to W H_1$ and $H_1 \to b \bar b$. The characteristic correlation between the $b \bar b$, $b \bar b W$ and $b b \bar b W$ invariant mass peaks is expected to make this signal practically free of the SM background. Our parton level Monte Carlo simulation yields upto 5000 events, for ${\cal L} = 30$ fb$^{-1}$, over the parameter space of interest, after taking into account the b-tagging efficiency for three or more b-tagged jets.

description: We conducted a systematic review to assess the effectiveness of TENS in the rehabilitation of limb motor dysfunction following stroke. We collected data from three databases, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, covering the earliest available date to April 2024, with a focus on randomized controlled trials that utilized TENS as an intervention for limb motor dysfunction after stroke, and extracted the main evaluation indicators before and after treatment, including the Fugl-Meyer Assessment for Upper Extremity (FMA-UE), Functional Independence Measure (FIM), and Composite Spasticity Scale (CSS). Meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4.1 software. This systematic review included a total of 513 participants from 10 studies. The analysis revealed that TENS was found to be statistically more effective than sham TENS in improving upper limb function, with a standardized mean difference (MD) of 3.58 (95% CI: 0.88, 6.27). TENS has shown potential in improving limb motor function in post-stroke patients based on FMA-UE, FIM, and CSS scores. However, variations in stimulation frequency, sites, treatment schedules, and devices make the evidence insufficient for its reliable clinical use. Registration: CRD42023421759. TENS is effective in reducing spasticity and improving muscle strength and gait performance in stroke patients with lower limb dysfunction.A 100 Hz stimulation frequency is recommended for TENS to achieve optimal motor recovery outcomes.Electrode placement for TENS can be flexibly applied to acupuncture points, such as ST36 and GB34, or anatomically targeted muscle sites, such as the tibialis anterior and quadriceps.TENS, when combined with task-specific training, may produce sustained improvements in functional mobility and independence post-stroke.

description: The process $e^+e^-\to K^+K^-π^0$ is studied with the SND detector at the VEPP-2000 $e^+e^-$ collider. Basing on data with an integrated luminosity of 26.4~pb$^{-1}$ we measure the $e^+e^-\to K^+K^-π^0$ cross section in the center-of-mass energy range from 1.28 up to 2 GeV. The measured mass spectrum of the $Kπ$ system indicates that the dominant mechanism of this reaction is the transition through the $K^{\ast}(892)K$ intermediate state. The cross section for the $ϕπ^0$ intermediate state is measured separately. The SND results are consistent with previous measurements in the BABAR experiment and have comparable accuracy. We study the effect of the interference between the $ϕπ^0$ and $K^\ast K$ amplitudes. It is found that the interference gives sizable contribution to the measured $e^+e^- \to ϕπ^0\to K^+K^-π^0$ cross section below 1.7 GeV.

description: Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a transmissible and fatal prion disease that affects cervids. While both oral and nasal routes of exposure to prions cause disease, the spatial and temporal details of how prions enter the central nervous system (CNS) are unknown. Carotid bodies (CBs) are structures that are exposed to blood-borne prions and are densely innervated by nerves that are directly connected to brainstem nuclei, known to be early sites of prion neuroinvasion. All CBs examined contained mast cells expressing the prion protein which is consistent with these cells playing a role in neuroinvasion following prionemia.

description: We study charge fluctuations within the statistical hadronization model. Considering both the particle yield ratios and the charge fluctuations we show that it is possible to differentiate between chemical equilibrium and non-equilibrium freeze-out conditions. As an example of the procedure we show quantitatively how the relative yield ratio $Λ/K^-$ together with the normalized net charge fluctuation $v(Q)=\ave{ΔQ^2}/\ave{\Nch}$ constrain the chemical conditions at freeze-out. We also discuss the influence of the limited detector acceptance on fluctuation measurements, and show how this can be accounted for within a quantitative analysis.

description: The evolution of a dark matter halo in a dark matter only simulation is governed purely byNewtonian gravity, making a clean testbed to determine what halo properties drive its fate.Using machine learning, we predict the survival, mass loss, final position, and merging time of subhalos within a cosmological N-body simulation, focusing on what instantaneous initial features of the halo, interaction, and environment matter most. Survival is well predicted, with our model achieving 96.5% accuracy using only 3 model inputs from the initial interaction.However, the mass loss, final location, and merging times are much more stochastic processes, with significant margins of error between the true and predicted quantities for much of our sample. The redshift, impact angle, relative velocity, and the masses of the host and subhalo are the only relevant initial inputs for determining subhalo evolution. In general, subhalos that enter their hosts at a mid-range of redshifts (typically z = 0.67-0.43) are the most challenging to make predictions for, across all of our final outcomes. Subhalo orbits that come in more perpendicular to the host are also easier to predict, except for in the case of predicting disruption, where the opposite appears to be true. We conclude that the detailed evolution of individual subhalos within N-body simulations is quite difficult to predict, pointing to a stochasticity in the merging process. We discuss implications for both simulations and observations

description: There is increasing circumstantial evidence that the cuprate superconductors, and correlated-electron materials generally, defy simple materials categorization because of their proximity to one or more continuous zero-temperature phase transitions. This implies that the fifteen-year confusion about the cuprates is not fundamental at all but simply overinterpreted quantum criticality--an effect that seems mysterious by virtue of its hypersensitivity to perturbations, i.e. to sample imperfections in experiment and small modifications of approximation schemes in theoretical modeling, but is really just an unremarkable phase transition of some kind masquerading as something important, a sheep in wolf's clothing. This conclusion is extremely difficult for most physicists even to think about because it requires admitting that an identifiable physical phenomenon might cause the scientific method to fail in some cases. For this reason I have decided to explain the problem in a way that is nonthreatening, easy to read, and fun--as a satire modeled after a similar piece of Lewis Carroll's I once read. My story is humorous fiction. Any similarity of the characters to living persons is accidental. My apologies to Henry W. Longfellow.

description: Rapidly progressive dementias (RPDs) are a type of fatal dementias that cause rapid progression of neuronal dysfunction. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of APOE genotypes (ε2, ε3, ε4) and PRNP mutations (E200K, M129V) in the general population of Pakistan because of their association with RPDs, including Rapidly Progressive Alzheimer’s Disease (rpAD) and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD). Blood samples (n = 100) were collected from healthy Pakistani population and the stated mutations were assessed using polymerase chain reaction. In the analysis of the APOE genotype, ε3/ε3 genotype was the most common (95%), followed by ε3/ε4 (5%) and ε2 allele was completely absent. A low frequency of ε4 allele and the absence of a protective ε2 allele is associated with an increased risk of rpAD. In the case of PRNP mutations, the most common genotype was M129-Ε200 (71%) and V129-Ε200 (29%). E200K mutation was completely absent from the given population. It is noteworthy that the MM homozygous genotype was present in 71 samples, VV genotype was present in 29. Homozygosity on codon 129, as observed in most of our samples, has been associated with more efficient production of PrPSc and disease pathology. This study provides preliminary data indicating that rpAD and CJD pose a significant threat to the Pakistani population.

description: We analyze the peculiar velocity field for 2400 flat spiral galaxies selected from an infrared sky survey (2MFGC). The distances to the galaxies have been determined from the Tully-Fisher relation in the photometric J band with a dispersion of 0.45 mag. The bulk motion of this sample relative to the cosmic microwave background (3K) frame has an amplitude of 199+/-37 km/s in the direction l = 290 +/- 11, b = +1 +/- 9 degree. The amplitude of the dipole motion tends to decrease with distance in accordance with the expected convergence of bulk flows in the 3K frame. We believe that external massive attractors similar to the Shapley cluster concentration are responsible for \~60% of the local flow velocity in the z = 0.03 volume.

description: Axions are a popular dark matter candidate which are often searched for in experiments known as ``haloscopes" which exploit a putative axion-photon coupling. These experiments typically rely on Transverse Magnetic (TM) modes in resonant cavities to capture and detect photons generated via axion conversion. We present a study of a resonant cavity design for application in haloscope searches, of particular use in the push to higher mass axion searches (above $\sim$60$\,μ$eV). In particular, we take advantage of azimuthally varying TM$_{m10}$ modes which, whilst typically insensitive to axions due to field non-uniformity, can be made axion-sensitive (and frequency tunable) through strategic placement of dielectric wedges, becoming a type of resonator known as a Dielectric Boosted Axion Sensitivity (DBAS) resonator. Results from finite-element modelling are presented, and compared with a simple proof-of-concept experiment. The results show a significant increase in axion sensitivity for these DBAS resonators over their empty cavity counterparts, and high potential for application in high mass axion searches when benchmarked against simpler, more traditional designs relying on fundamental TM modes.

description: Historically, wine production and consumption have been at home in Europe. The most important countries mentionable are France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Moldova, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. The European Union (EU 27) occupies a leading position on the world wine market. Globally, it accounts for 49.9% of growing areas and 39.1% of grape production, according to FAO data for the year 2006. The European Union (EU 27) produces 60.0%of wine and accounts for 55.4%of wine imports and 72.8%of exports. Wine production and consumption is increasing in Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, South Africa, Uruguay and in the United States, and decreasing in many traditionally wine growing countries. As a result of growing globalization, the EU wine market has to face changing circumstances and increasingly sharp competition. In the last 10 years, European imports from non-EU countries have doubled, and countries such as the United States, Chile, Argentina, South Africa and Australia have developed aggressive marketing policies, while promoting products at highly competitive prices. Wine production in 2006 represented 5 percent of the value of EU agricultural output. EU wine consumption is falling steadily, although sales of quality wines are increasing. Over the last ten years, imports have grown by 10 percent per annum, while exports are increasing slowly. According to current trends, excess wine production will exceed 10-15% of annual production by 2010, although the EU spends around half a billion euros every year to solve the problem of its wine surplus. The European Union and the United States signed a bilateral accord in 2005, which helps EU winemakers to build on their current success. The annual EU wine exports to the USA are worth more than 2 billion US$, which is around 40% of EU wine exports in term of value. The new provisions on the common organisation of the wine market are also discussed in this paper. The intention is to develop leadership in this specific, lifestyle-associated market segment. The objectives of new reform are to maintain EU dominance over the world wine export markets, to simplify the legislation in this field and to assist rural development objectives within the Common Agricultural Policy. EU regulations favour the wine industry and European wine will meet the demand of consumers for individualised, customised products, which are natural, environmentally-friendly and healthy.

description: Energy use is a key concern when deploying deep learning models on mobile and embedded platforms. Current studies develop energy predictive models based on application-level features to provide researchers a way to estimate the energy consumption of their deep learning models. This information is useful for building resource-aware models that can make efficient use of the hard-ware resources. However, previous works on predictive modelling provide little insight into the trade-offs involved in the choice of features on the final predictive model accuracy and model complexity. To address this issue, we provide a comprehensive analysis of building regression-based predictive models for deep learning on mobile devices, based on empirical measurements gathered from the SyNERGY framework.Our predictive modelling strategy is based on two types of predictive models used in the literature:individual layers and layer-type. Our analysis of predictive models show that simple layer-type features achieve a model complexity of 4 to 32 times less for convolutional layer predictions for a similar accuracy compared to predictive models using more complex features adopted by previous approaches. To obtain an overall energy estimate of the inference phase, we build layer-type predictive models for the fully-connected and pooling layers using 12 representative Convolutional NeuralNetworks (ConvNets) on the Jetson TX1 and the Snapdragon 820using software backends such as OpenBLAS, Eigen and CuDNN. We obtain an accuracy between 76% to 85% and a model complexity of 1 for the overall energy prediction of the test ConvNets across different hardware-software combinations.

description: In the recently discovered Co-oxide superconductor Na_xCoO_2*yH_2O, the edge-shared CoO6 octahedra are trigonally contracted along the c-axis in the CoO2-plane. We study how this CoO6 distortion affects the magnetic properties and superconductivity in this compound by analyzing the multiorbital Hubbard model using the fluctuation-exchange approximation. It is shown that through generating the trigonal crystal field, the distortion pushes the Co e'g bands up and consequently gives rise to the hole-pocket Fermi surfaces, which have been predicted in the band calculations. As the distortion increases, the hole pockets are enlarged and the ferromagnetic fluctuation as well as the pairing instability increases, which is in good agreement with recent NQR results.

description: We establish a bialgebra theory for anti-flexible algebras in this paper. We introduce the notion of an anti-flexible bialgebra which is equivalent to a Manin triple of anti-flexible algebras. The study of a special case of anti-flexible bialgebras leads to the introduction of anti-flexible Yang-Baxter equation in an anti-flexible algebra which is an analogue of the classical Yang-Baxter equation in a Lie algebra or the associative Yang-Baxter equation in an associative algebra. It is a unexpected consequence that both the anti-flexible Yang-Baxter equation and the associative Yang-Baxter equation have the same form. A skew-symmetric solution of anti-flexible Yang-Baxter equation gives an anti-flexible bialgebra. Finally the notions of an $\mathcal O$-operator of an anti-flexible algebra and a pre-anti-flexible algebra are introduced to construct skew-symmetric solutions of anti-flexible Yang-Baxter equation.

description: Most calibration schemes for reflection-based tissue spectroscopy in the mm-wave/THz-frequency range are based on homogenized, frequency-dependent tissue models where macroscopic material parameters have either been determined by measurement or calculated using effective material theory. However, as the resolution of measurement at these frequencies captures the underlying microstructure of the tissue, here we will investigate the validity limits of such effective material models over a wide frequency range (10 MHz - 200 GHz) . Embedded in a parameterizable virtual workbench, we implemented a numerical homogenization method using a hierarchical multiscale approach to capture both the dispersive and tensorial electromagnetic properties of the tissue, and determined at which frequency this homogenized model deviated from a full-wave electromagnetic reference model within the framework of a Monte Carlo analysis. Simulations were carried out using a generic hypodermal tissue that emulated the morphology of the microstructure. Results showed that the validity limit occurred at surprisingly low frequencies and thus contradicted the traditional usage of homogenized tissue models. The reasons for this are explained in detail and thus it is shown how both the lower "allowed" and upper "forbidden" frequency ranges can be used for frequency-selective classification/identification of specific material and structural properties employing a supervised machine-learning approach. Using the implemented classifier, we developed a method to identify specific frequency bands in the forbidden frequency range to optimize the reliability of material classification.

description: African and Caribbean literatures written by women had their beginnings during the fifties, but did not find firmer literary anchoring until the seventies. They have now come into their own, significantly changing the intransigent view of the established patriarchal literary canon. Through the use of spaces attributed to women (the kitchen and the bedroom) and roles assigned to them by an androcratic society, writers such as Calixthe Beyala, Edwidge Danticat and Myriam Warner-Vieyra have brought to light the socio-cultural condition of the African and Caribbean woman. Their works illustrate how women are the keepers, yet the prisoners of tradition. They demonstrate the juxtaposition of modernity with the aforementioned tradition, showing how women are left in a socio-cultural limbo, having rather stark choices when it comes to mastering their lives, not to mention finding equal social footing with their masculine counterparts. Beyala, Danticat, and Warner-Vieyra textually demonstrate socio-cultural dilemmas which women must confront. The women they represent must also indicate ways in which to achieve their "becoming" without putting either their aspirations of freedom or what they perceive to be their womanhood in jeopardy. Using a spatio-socio-cultural approach tempered with consideration of the formalistic aspects of their work, our intention is to show how these writers depict women on the verge of revolt, or in revolt as well as those classified as phallocratic, all of whom underscore the necessity for feminine harmony and collectivity if success in enhancing the condition of women on both the social and cultural levels is to be achieved. These writers illustrate avenues of freedom that are extraordinarily non-traditional in their perception and execution: notably madness and prostitution. These authoresses, and many others of their ilk, have chosen the power of the word as their arm of socio-cultural empowerment and are doing much to change the status of not only African and Caribbean women, but women in general.
