description: Both airborne acoustic signals and substrate-borne vibrations are prevalent modes of animal communication, particularly in arthropods. While a wide variety of animals utilize one or both of these modalities, the connection between them is still ambiguous in many species. Spiders as a group are not known for using, or even perceiving, acoustic signals, despite being well-adapted for vibratory communication. Males of the “purring” wolf spider Gladicosa gulosa are reported to produce audible signals during courtship, although the literature on this species is largely anecdotal. Using a laser Doppler vibrometer and an omnidirectional microphone in controlled conditions, we recorded and characterized the visual and mechanical (both substrate-borne and airborne) signals of this species in an attempt to provide a qualitative and quantitative overview of its signal properties. We found that the vibratory signal is composed of two primary repeating and alternating elements, consisting of pulses of stridulation and percussive strikes, as well as a less common, but repeatable, third element. We also characterized a measurable airborne component to the signal that is significantly correlated with the amplitude of the vibratory signal, which we suggest is a by-product of the strong vibration. Neither modality correlated significantly with male body size or condition. Although the exact role of the acoustic component is unclear, we speculate that the unique properties of signalling in this species may have value in answering new questions about animal communication.
Phonological Primes: Gestures or Features?

Year: 1992

description: In their studies of the articulatory patterns that underlie speech, Browman and Goldstein (see e.g. Browman and Goldstein 1989, 1990, this issue) have brought to light some of the important respects in which the physical activity of s:peaking contributes to the way phonological systems are structured. From this point of view, their work has several interesting implications. One is that much of what has usually been considered as lying in the domain of discrete phonological rules may be better understood from the point of view of nondiscrete or gradient properties of articulatory organization. Thus, in various papers Browman and Goldstein have produced evidence suggesting that many types of prosodically- conditioned reduction, contextual allophony and casual speech variation reflect dynamic properties of the activity of speaking and are better modeled at the level of physical speech production than at that of more abstract categorical representation. Somewhat more ambitiously (and controversially), they propose that the dynamic properties of speech production, often viewed by phonologists as having little interest for the study of grammatical organization, playa large or even predominant role in shaping the structure of what is interpreted: the phonological system of rules and representations itself. In this issue of Phonetica, Browman and Goldstein propose that a gesture-based model of phonology and phonetics can provide an alternative to models taking segments and features as their basic units. Their explicit intention is to show that "gestures are basic units of contrast among lexical items as well as units of articulatory action" and to "help clarify the differences among gestures, features, and segments." This commentary will address both of these goals. It will examine several areas in which articulatory phonology as presently conceived by Browman and Goldstein appears insufficient to account for some of the generalizations. that are usually thought to lie in the domain of phonological (and phonetic) theory, and will suggest ways in which a theory of this son might be extended in order to accommodate these generalizations. It will finally consider the status of articulation-based models of phonetic interpretation in phonological theory as a whole.

description: The quinone compound 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone is hydroxylated in alkaline aqueous solution with pH above 12. Electron paramagnetic resonance experiments showed that two transient radicals are formed in this reaction. The radical appearing first is assigned to a one electron reduced 2,6-dimethoxy-1,4-benzoquinone, receiving the electron from an intermediate anionic hydroxylated species. For this primary radical, all proton couplings were determined (quinoid ring protons: 1.453 G, methyl protons: 0.795 G). The density functional theory method was applied to obtain electronic and structural information of the primary radical and a solution structure is suggested. For approaching the experimental hyperfine couplings in theoretical models, it was necessary to consider effects of external polarisation arising from water molecules near one carbonyl group, and the orientation of methoxy groups towards the quinone ring. With this approach, the secondary radical formed in the hydroxylation reaction, and the transient radicals found for other biologically important quinones (including coenzymes Q) and their hydroxylated species may become accessible.

description: Topological band insulators and (semi-) metals can arise out of atomic insulators when the hopping strength between electrons increases. Such topological phases are separated from the atomic insulator by a bulk gap closing. In this work, we show that in many (magnetic) space groups, the crystals with certain Wyckoff positions and orbitals being occupied must be semimetal or metals in the atomic limit, e.g. the hopping strength between electrons is infinite weak but not vanishing, which then are termed atomic (semi-)metals (ASMs). We derive a sufficient condition for realizing ASMs in spinless and spinful systems. Remarkably, we find that increasing the hopping strength between electrons may transform an ASM into an insulator with both symmetries and electron fillings of crystal are preserved. The induced insulators inevitably are topologically non-trivial and at least are obstructed atomic insulators (OAIs) that are labeled as trivial insulator in topological quantum chemistry website. Particularly, using silicon as an example, we show ASM criterion can discover the OAIs missed by the recently proposed criterion of filling enforced OAI. Our work not only establishes an efficient way to identify and design non-trivial insulators but also predicts that the group-IV elemental semiconductors are ideal candidate materials for OAI.

description: Von einem Bergwanderer wurde 1976 auf einem Weg in den Mallnitzer Tauern eine Bronzespitze gefunden. Da die Fundstelle bei einem bekannten Römerweg lag, wurde angenommen, dass es sich um ein Römisches Artefakt handelt. Die metallographische Untersuchung ergab, dass die Bronze eine hohe Porosität aufweist, was vermutlich auf Gasentwicklung durch Sauerstoff oder Wasserstoff zurückzuführen ist. Die Spitze ist korrodiert, und das ursprüngliche Metall hat einen Sn Gehalt von etwa 4 Gew.%. Die Bronze ist dendritisch erstarrt und zeigt in den interdendritischen Bereichen geringe Cu2 S Ausscheidungen. In den korrodierten Bereichen wurde eine übliche Anreicherung von Sn festgestellt.
description: In 1976 a mountain hiker found a bronze peak on a path in the Mallnitz Tauern. Since the site was near a well-known Roman route, it is assumed that it is a Roman artifact. A metallographic examination revealed that the bronze has high porosity, which is probably due to gas development caused by oxygen or hydrogen. The tip is corroded, and the original metal has a Sn content of about 4% by weight. The bronze has solidified dendritically and shows small Cu2 S precipitates in the interdendritic areas. Common enrichment of Sn was observed in the corroded areas.

description: We conduct a pseudo-$C_\ell$ analysis of the tomographic cross-correlation between 1000 deg$^2$ of weak lensing data from the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS-1000) and the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (tSZ) effect measured by Planck and the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT). Using HMx, a halo-model-based approach that consistently models the gas, star, and dark matter components, we are able to derive constraints on both cosmology and baryon feedback for the first time from these data, marginalising over redshift uncertainties, intrinsic alignment of galaxies, and contamination by the cosmic infrared background (CIB). We find our results to be insensitive to the CIB, while intrinsic alignment provides a small but significant contribution to the lensing--tSZ cross-correlation. The cosmological constraints are consistent with those of other low-redshift probes and prefer strong baryon feedback. The inferred amplitude of the lensing--tSZ cross-correlation signal, which scales as $σ_8(Ω_\mathrm{m}/0.3)^{0.2}$, is low by $\sim 2\,σ$ compared to the primary cosmic microwave background constraints by Planck. The lensing--tSZ measurements are then combined with pseudo-$C_\ell$ measurements of KiDS-1000 cosmic shear into a novel joint analysis, accounting for the full cross-covariance between the probes, providing tight cosmological constraints by breaking parameter degeneracies inherent to both probes. The joint analysis gives an improvement of 40% on the constraint of $S_8=σ_8\sqrt{Ω_\mathrm{m}/0.3}$ over cosmic shear alone, while providing constraints on baryon feedback consistent with hydrodynamical simulations, demonstrating the potential of such joint analyses with baryonic tracers such as the tSZ effect. We discuss remaining modelling challenges that need to be addressed if these baryonic probes are to be included in future precision-cosmology analyses.

description: Mitochondrial disorders affect 1/5,000 and have no cure. Inducing mitochondrial biogenesis with bezafibrate improves mitochondrial function in animal models, but there are no comparable human studies. We performed an open-label observational experimental medicine study of six patients with mitochondrial myopathy caused by the m.3243A>G MTTL1 mutation. Our primary aim was to determine the effects of bezafibrate on mitochondrial metabolism, whilst providing preliminary evidence of safety and efficacy using biomarkers. The participants received 600-1,200 mg bezafibrate daily for 12 weeks. There were no clinically significant adverse events, and liver function was not affected. We detected a reduction in the number of complex IV-immunodeficient muscle fibres and improved cardiac function. However, this was accompanied by an increase in serum biomarkers of mitochondrial disease, including fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21), growth and differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), plus dysregulation of fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. Thus, although potentially beneficial in short term, inducing mitochondrial biogenesis with bezafibrate altered the metabolomic signature of mitochondrial disease, raising concerns about long-term sequelae.

description: Emission from an accretion disc around compact objects, such as neutron stars and black holes, is expected to be significantly polarized. The polarization can be used to put constraints on geometrical and physical parameters of the compact sources -- their radii, masses and spins -- as well as to determine the orbital parameters. The radiation escaping from the innermost parts of the disc is strongly affected by the gravitational field of the compact object and relativistic velocities of the matter. The straightforward calculation of the observed polarization signatures involves computationally expensive ray-tracing technique. At the same time, having fast computational routines for direct data fitting becomes increasingly important in light of the currently observed images of the accretion flow around supermassive black hole in M87 by the Event Horizon Telescope, infrared polarization signatures coming from Sgr A*, as well as for the upcoming X-ray polarization measurements by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer and enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission. In this work, we obtain an exact analytical expression for the rotation angle of polarization plane in Schwarzschild metric accounting for the effects of light bending and relativistic aberration. We show that the calculation of the observed flux, polarization degree and polarization angle as a function of energy can be performed analytically with high accuracy using approximate light-bending formula, lifting the need for the pre-computed tabular models in fitting routines.

description: A many-mode laser with nonlinear modal interaction could serve as a model system to study many-body physics. However, precise and continuous tuning of the interaction strength over a wide range is challenging. Here, we present a unique method for controlling lasing mode structures by introducing random phase fluctuation to a nearly degenerate cavity. We show numerically and experimentally that as the characteristic scale of phase fluctuation decreases by two orders of magnitude, the transverse modes become fragmented and the reduction of their spatial overlap suppresses modal competition for gain, allowing more modes to lase. The tunability, flexibility and robustness of our system provides a powerful platform for investigating many-body phenomena.

Enhanced Linear Dichroism of Flattened-Edge Black Phosphorus Nanoribbons

Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: Black phosphorus is a material with an intrinsic anisotropy in electronic and optical properties due to its puckered honeycomb lattice. Optical absorption is different for incident light with linear polarization in the armchair and zigzag directions (linear dichroism). These directions are also used in the cuts of materials to create black phosphorus nanoribbons. Edges of nanoribbons usually have small reconstruction effects, with minor electronic effects. Here, we show a reconstruction of the armchair edge that introduces a new valence band, which flattens the puckered lattice and increases the linear dichroism extrinsically in the visible spectrum. This enhancement in linear dichroism is explained by the polarization selection rule, which considers the parity of the wave function to a reflection plane. The flattened-edge reconstruction originates from the inversion of chirality of the P atoms at the edges and significantly alters the entire optical absorption of the material. The flattened edges have potential applications in pseudospintronics, photodetectors and might provide new functionalities in optoelectronic and photonic devices.

description: We propose a procedure to derive quantum spectral curves of AdS/CFT type by requiring that a specially designed analytic continuation around the branch point results in an automorphism of the underlying algebraic structure. In this way we derive four new curves. Two are based on SU(2|2) symmetry, and we show that one of them, under the assumption of square root branch points, describes Hubbard model. Two more are based on SU(2|2) x SU(2|2). In the special subcase of zero central charge, they both reduce to the unique nontrivial curve which furthermore has analytic properties compatible with PSU(1,1|2) x PSU(1,1|2) real form. A natural conjecture follows that this is the quantum spectral curve of AdS/CFT integrable system with AdS3 x S3 x T4 background supported by RR-flux. We support the conjecture by verifying its consistency with the massive sector of asymptotic Bethe equations in the large volume regime. For this spectral curve, it is compulsory that branch points are not of the square root type which qualitatively distinguishes it from the previously known cases.

description: Using numerically exact methods we study transport in an interacting spin chain which for sufficiently strong spatially constant electric field is expected to experience Stark many-body localization. We show that starting from a generic initial state, a spin-excitation remains localized only up to a finite delocalization time, which depends exponentially on the size of the system and the strength of the electric field. This suggests that bona fide Stark many-body localization occurs only in the thermodynamic limit. We also demonstrate that the transient localization in a finite system and for electric fields stronger than the interaction strength can be well approximated by a Magnus expansion up-to times which grow with the electric field strength.

description: Neo-sex chromosomes are found in many taxa, but the forces driving their emergence and spread are poorly understood. The female-specific neo-W chromosome of the African monarch (or queen) butterfly Danaus chrysippus presents an intriguing case study because it is restricted to a single 'contact zone' population, involves a putative colour patterning supergene, and co-occurs with infection by the male-killing endosymbiont Spiroplasma. We investigated the origin and evolution of this system using whole genome sequencing. We first identify the 'BC supergene', a broad region of suppressed recombination across nearly half a chromosome, which links two colour patterning loci. Association analysis suggests that the genes yellow and arrow in this region control the forewing colour pattern differences between D. chrysippus subspecies. We then show that the same chromosome has recently formed a neo-W that has spread through the contact zone within approximately 2,200 years. We also assembled the genome of the male-killing Spiroplasma, and find that it shows perfect genealogical congruence with the neo-W, suggesting that the neo-W has hitchhiked to high frequency as the male-killer has spread through the population. The complete absence of female crossing-over in the Lepidoptera causes whole-chromosome hitchhiking of a single neo-W haplotype, carrying a single allele of the BC supergene and dragging multiple non-synonymous mutations to high frequency. This has created a population of infected females that all carry the same recessive colour patterning allele, making the phenotypes of each successive generation highly dependent on uninfected male immigrants. Our findings show how hitchhiking can occur between the physically unlinked genomes of host and endosymbiont, with dramatic consequences.

description: Prion diseases are fatal transmissible neurodegenerative conditions of humans and animals that arise through neurotoxicity induced by PrP misfolding. The cellular and molecular mechanisms of prion-induced neurotoxicity remain undefined. Understanding these processes will underpin therapeutic and control strategies for human and animal prion diseases, respectively. Prion diseases are difficult to study in their natural hosts and require the use of tractable animal models. Here we used RNA-Seq-based transcriptome analysis of prion-exposed Drosophila to probe the mechanism of prion-induced neurotoxicity. Adult Drosophila transgenic for pan neuronal expression of ovine PrP targeted to the plasma membrane exhibit a neurotoxic phenotype evidenced by decreased locomotor activity after exposure to ovine prions at the larval stage. Pathway analysis and quantitative PCR of genes differentially expressed in prion-infected Drosophila revealed up-regulation of cell cycle activity and DNA damage response, followed by down-regulation of eIF2 and mTOR signalling. Mitochondrial dysfunction was identified as the principal toxicity pathway in prion-exposed PrP transgenic Drosophila. The transcriptomic changes we observed were specific to PrP targeted to the plasma membrane since these prion-induced gene expression changes were not evident in similarly treated Drosophila transgenic for cytosolic pan neuronal PrP expression, or in non-transgenic control flies. Collectively, our data indicate that aberrant cell cycle activity, repression of protein synthesis and altered mitochondrial function are key events involved in prion-induced neurotoxicity, and correlate with those identified in mammalian hosts undergoing prion disease. These studies highlight the use of PrP transgenic Drosophila as a genetically well-defined tractable host to study mammalian prion biology.

description: Indoor localization is a critical task in many embedded applications, such as asset tracking, emergency response, and realtime navigation. In this article, we propose a novel fingerprintingbased framework for indoor localization called SANGRIA that uses stacked autoencoder neural networks with gradient boosted trees. Our approach is designed to overcome the device heterogeneity challenge that can create uncertainty in wireless signal measurements across embedded devices used for localization. We compare SANGRIA to several state-of-the-art frameworks and demonstrate 42.96% lower average localization error across diverse indoor locales and heterogeneous devices.

description: We propose an unsupervised learning methodology with descriptors based on Topological Data Analysis (TDA) concepts to describe the local structural properties of materials at the atomic scale. Based only on atomic positions and without a priori knowledge, our method allows for an autonomous identification of clusters of atomic structures through a Gaussian mixture model. We apply successfully this approach to the analysis of elemental Zr in the crystalline and liquid states as well as homogeneous nucleation events under deep undercooling conditions. This opens the way to deeper and autonomous study of complex phenomena in materials at the atomic scale.

description: In the intricate domain of software systems verification, dynamically model checking multifaceted system characteristics remains paramount, yet challenging. This research proposes the advanced observe-based statistical model-checking (OSM) framework, devised to craft executable formal models directly from foundational system code. Leveraging model checking predicates, the framework melds seamlessly with aspect-oriented programming paradigms, yielding a potent method for the analytical verification of varied behavioral attributes. Exploiting the transformative capacity of OSM framework, primary system code undergoes a systematic metamorphosis into multifaceted analysis constructs. This not only simplifies the model verification process but also orchestrates feature interactions using an innovative observing join point abstraction mechanism. Within this framework, components encompassing parsing, formal verification, computational analytics, and rigorous validation are intrinsically interwoven. Marrying the principles of model checking with aspect-oriented (AO) modularization, OSM framework stands as a paragon, proficiently scrutinizing and affirming system specifications. This ensures the unyielding performance of electronic health record systems amidst shifting preconditions. OSM framework offers runtime verification of both object-oriented and AO deployments, positioning itself as an indispensable open-source resource, poised to automate the enhancement of system performance and scalability.

description: We apply the theory of semiparametric estimation to a Hong-Ou-Mandel interference experiment with a spectrally entangled two-photon state generated by spontaneous parametric downconversion. Thanks to the semiparametric approach we can evaluate the Cramér-Rao bound and find an optimal estimator for a particular parameter of interest without assuming perfect knowledge of the two-photon wave function, formally treated as an infinity of nuisance parameters. In particular, we focus on the estimation of the Hermite-Gauss components of the marginal symmetrised wavefunction, whose Fourier transform governs the shape of the temporal coincidence profile. We show that negativity of these components is an entanglement witness of the two-photon state.
Emergence of Lie group symmetric classical spacetimes in canonical tensor model

description: We analyze a wave function of a tensor model in the canonical formalism, when the argument of the wave function takes Lie group invariant or nearby values. Numerical computations show that there are two phases, which we call the quantum and the classical phases, respectively. In the classical phase, fluctuations are suppressed, and there emerge configurations which are discretizations of the classical geometric spaces invariant under the Lie group symmetries. This is explicitly demonstrated for the emergence of $S^n\ (n=1,2,3)$ for $SO(n+1)$ symmetries by checking the topological and the geometric (Laplacian) properties of the emerging configurations. The transition between the two phases has the form of splitting/merging of distributions of variables, resembling a matrix model counterpart, namely, the transition between one-cut and two-cut solutions. However this resemblance is obscured by a difference of the mechanism of the distribution in our setup from that in the matrix model. We also discuss this transition as a replica symmetry breaking. We perform various preliminary studies of the properties of the phases and the transition for such values of the argument.

description: Optimizing ferroelectrics for contemporary high-frequency applications asks for the fundamental understanding of ferroelectric switching and domain wall (DW) motion in ultrafast field pulses while the microscopic understanding of the latter is so far incomplete. To close this gap in knowledge, ab initio-based molecular dynamics simulations are utilized to analyze the dynamics of 180$^\grad# DWs in the prototypical ferroelectric material BaTiO 3 . How ultrafast field application initially excites the dipoles in the system and how they relax to their steady state via transient negative capacitance are discussed. Excitingly, a giant boost of the DW velocity related to the nonequilibrium switching of local dipoles acting as nucleation centers for the wall movement is found. This boost may allow to tune the local ferroelectric switching rate by the shape of an applied field pulse.
