description: [Abridged] We compute the canonical entropy of a quantum scalar field around static and spherically symmetric black holes through the brick wall approach at the higher orders (in fact, up to the sixth order in \hbar) in the WKB approximation. We explicitly show that the brick wall model generally predicts corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy in all spacetime dimensions. In four dimensions, we find that the corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy are of the form (A^n \log A), while, in six dimensions, the corrections behave as (A^m + A^n \log A), where A denotes the area of the black hole event horizon, and (m, n) < 1. We compare our results with the corrections to the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy that have been obtained through the other approaches in the literature, and discuss the implications.

Quasitoric stably normally split manifolds

description: A smooth stably complex manifold is called a totally tangentially/normally split manifold (TTS/TNS-manifold, for short, resp.) if the respective complex tangential/normal vector bundle is stably isomorphic to a Whitney sum of complex linear bundles, resp. In this paper we construct manifolds $M$ s.t. any complex vector bundle over $M$ is stably equivalent to a Whitney sum of complex linear bundles. A quasitoric manifold shares this property iff it is a TNS-manifold. We establish a new criterion of the TNS-property for a quasitoric manifold $M$ via non-semidefiniteness of certain higher-degree forms in the respective cohomology ring of $M$. In the family of quasitoric manifolds, this generalises the theorem of J. Lannes about the signature of a simply connected stably complex TNS $4$-manifold. We apply our criterion to show the flag property of the moment polytope for a nonsingular toric projective TNS-manifold of complex dimension $3$.

description: Individuals who are saving for retirement are likely to know that the level of savings and the asset allocation of their savings are two very important factors affecting wealth accumulation. Another factor called asset location — which refers to the placement of certain types of assets in tax-deferred accounts and other types of assets in taxable accounts — is far less understood The winners of the 2004 TIAA-CREF Paul A. Samuelson Award tackled this issue head-on, and concluded that equities are far better suited for taxable accounts than for tax-deferred accounts, and that bonds are far better suited for tax-deferred accounts than for taxable accounts. The reason for this preference is the different tax treatment of equity investments compared to fixed-income investments.

We also show that these sets are polyhedra. The latter result extends a theorem of Lovász characterizing maximal lattice-free convex sets in Rn
title: Stability and error estimates for non-linear Cahn-Hilliard-type equations on evolving surfaces
Creators: name: Beschle, Cedric Aaron

Publisher: name: Universität Stuttgart
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 510

description: In this paper, we consider a non-linear fourth-order evolution equation of Cahn-Hilliard-type on evolving surfaces with prescribed velocity, where the non-linear terms are only assumed to have locally Lipschitz derivatives. High-order evolving surface finite elements are used to discretise the weak equation system in space, and a modified matrix-vector formulation for the semi-discrete problem is derived. The anti-symmetric structure of the equation system is preserved by the spatial discretisation. A new stability proof, based on this structure, combined with consistency bounds proves optimal-order and uniform-in-time error estimates. The paper is concluded by a variety of numerical experiments.

description: The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) fluctuations at very small angular scales (less than $10'$) induced by matter sources are computed in a simplified way. The result corrects a previous formula appearing in the literature. The small scale power spectrum from cosmic strings is then calculated by a new analytic method. The result compares extremely well with the spectrum computed by numerical techniques (when the old, incorrect, formula is used). The upper bound on the string parameters derived from OVRO data is re-examined, taking into account the non-Gaussian nature of stringy perturbations on small scales. Assuming a conventional ionization history, the bound is $γGμ< 11\times 10^{-6}$, where $γ^2$ is the number of horizon lengths of string per horizon volume. Current simulations give $γ^2 = 31\pm 7$.

Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) by Superalkalis

description: NOx are major air pollutants, having negative impact on environment and consequently, human health. We propose here the single-electron reduction of NOx (x = 1, 2) using superalkalis. We study the interaction of NOx with FLi2, OLi3 and NLi4 superalkalis using density functional calculations, which lead to stable superalkali-NOx ionic complexes with negatively charged NOx. This clearly reveals that the NOx can successfully be reduced to NOx- anion due to electron transfer from superalkalis. It has been also noticed that the size of superalkalis plays a crucial in the single-electron reduction of NOx.

description: Comparing the center or spread of two samples is a common problem with established solutions in the statistics literature. There exist many methods for comparing two samples, including parametric and non-parametric hypothesis tests, equivalence tests, and the probability of agreement. In this paper, we propose a new probability of agreement solution that combines the merits of the existing methods to allow flexible comparisons across a variety of distributional characteristics, the ability for the user to specify and explore what sizes of difference are practically important, with a straightforward decision rule for easy implementation. We focus on applications where interest lies in comparing a new or “comparison” sample with an existing “reference” sample. The new approach introduces a baseline summary that allows one to contextualize an observed difference between two samples by also considering the anticipated difference between two samples taken from the same distribution, accounting for uncertainty due to sample size and the context-specific equivalence threshold. The method is evaluated with a detailed simulation study and then illustrated with an example comparing two samples of powder, where the goal is to evaluate if multiple aspects of the distribution of the particle sizes for a new sample match those of the established reference sample. A Shiny app implementing the methods is provided to facilitate convenient use for new applications.

description: Heat transport in spin-boson systems near the thermal equilibrium is systematically investigated. An asymptotically exact expression for the thermal conductance in a low-temperature regime wherein transport is described via a co-tunneling mechanism is derived. This formula predicts the power-law temperature dependence of thermal conductance $\propto T^{2s+1}$ for a thermal environment of spectral density with the exponent $s$. An accurate numerical simulation is performed using the quantum Monte Carlo method, and these predictions are confirmed for arbitrary thermal baths. Our numerical calculation classifies the transport mechanism, and shows that the noninteracting-blip approximation quantitatively describes thermal conductance in the incoherent transport regime.

description: We consider a common indivisible good allocation problem in which agents have both social and private endowments. Popular applications include student assignment to on-campus housing, kidney exchange, and particular school choice problems. In a series of experiments Chen and Sönmez (American Economic Review 92: 1669-1686, 2002) have shown that a popular mechanism from recent theory, the Top Trading Cycles (TTC) mechanism, induces a significantly higher participation rate by agents with private endowments and leads to significantly more efficient outcomes than the most commonly used real-life mechanism, the Random Serial Dictatorship with Squatting Rights We first show that a particular mechanism, the so-called New House 4 (NH4) mechanism, which has been in use at MIT since the 1980s, is in fact outcome-equivalent to a natural adaptation of the well-known Gale-Shapley mechanism of two-sided matching theory. This implies that the NH4 mechanism is the most efficient mechanism within the class of fair and individually rational mechanisms, and that it is essentially the only incentive compatible mechanism satisfying the two properties. We then experimentally compare NH4 and TTC. We find that under NH4, the participation rate is significantly higher than under TTC. We also propose a new efficiency test based on ordinal preference information and show that NH4 also outperforms TTC in terms of efficiency.

ElTetrado captures topological features of nucleic acid quadruplexes

description: Quadruplexes are unique tertiary structure motifs occurring in nucleic acid molecules. So far, they have been confirmed as promising therapeutic targets in many drug development strategies and contributors to various biological processes. Recent years, brought increasing interest in their structure and roles, especially in relation to biomedicine. Thus, new computational methods dedicated to these motifs started to appear. Most of them support quadruplex analysis on the sequence level. Some touch the 3D structure and its classification defined in [Webba da Silva, 2007]. Hereby presented computational tool ElTetrado applies an approach based on the secondary structure and draws from the functionality of RNApdbee 2.0 [Zok et al., 2018], our bioinformatics system for RNA secondary structure annotation. A new option in this tool to display and annotate non-canonical interactions in the secondary structure diagrams made us observe specific patterns in the visualization of RNA structures containing quadruplexes. Their observable recurrence in both RNAs and DNAs allowed for describing novel classes of tetrads and quadruplexes. We developed an algorithm to identify quadruplexes in the 3D structures and classify them according to our new nomenclature. We completed a statistical analysis of new classes’ coverage by tetrads and quadruplexes included in the PDB-deposited structures. We introduced a multiline dot-bracket encoding optimized to represent the secondary structure of these motifs. We believe, our methodology creates a new perspective in the research focusing on quadruplex motifs and opens the new paths in their analysis.

description: Die deutsche Energiewende wird weltweit als Erfolgsmodell für eine dezentrale Umstellung auf erneuerbare Energien (EE) diskutiert. Dabei wird oft übersehen, dass diese sich bisher weitgehend auf den Stromsektor beschränkt hat, während die Umstellung des Wärme- und Verkehrssektors nur zögerlich voranschreitet. Weiterhin gingen steigende EE-Anteile in der Stromerzeugung lange nicht mit einer entsprechenden Reduzierung der Treibhausgasemissionen einher. Der Beitrag erläutert die zugrunde-liegenden Governance-Strukturen und deren Einordnung im Schnittfeld von Raumplanung, Wirtschafts- und Klimapolitik. Anhand von zwei aktuelleren klima- und energiepolitischen Maßnahmen (Klimapaket 2019, SINTEG-Modellregionen 2017-2020) wird deutlich, dass der Fokus der jüngeren deutschen Energiewendepolitik – wie bisher – vor allem auf EE als Wirtschaftsfaktor liegt, wobei nun eine Ausweitung auf den Wärme- und Verkehrssektor angestrebt wird. Aus geographischer Perspektive lässt sich konstatieren, dass die Maßnahmen zwar dezentrale bzw. regionale Strukturen berücksichtigen und nutzen, jedoch insbesondere zur Effizienzsteigerung und weniger um damit partizipative Strukturen, zivilgesellschaftliches Engagement oder Debatten zur Nachhaltigkeit der Energiewende zu befördern.

description: In this paper we consider the isoperimetric problem with double density in an Euclidean space, that is, we study the minimisation of the perimeter among subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$ with fixed volume, where volume and perimeter are relative to two different densities. The case of a single density, or equivalently, when the two densities coincide, has been well studied in the last years; nonetheless, the problem with two different densities is an important generalisation, also in view of applications. We will prove the existence of isoperimetric sets in this context, extending the known results for the case of single density.

description: We consider thermal $n$-point Green functions in the framework of quantum field theory at finite temperature. We show how analytic continuations from imaginary to real energies relate these functions originally defined in the imaginary-time formalism to retarded and advanced real-time ones. The described method is valid to all orders of perturbation theory. It has the further advantage that it is independent of approximations often applied in actual finite-order calculations.

description: An analysis of three recently deregulated markets—California, PJM, and New York—finds that none of them can be regarded as highly competitive, contrary to what conventional measures of market power indicate. Auctions for generation are unlikely to be competitive and costly steps will be needed to mitigate market power, likely eroding any benefits from increased operating efficiency in deregulated markets. Thus, FERC and state legislators need to reexamine the desirability of deregulating the generation portion of the industry.

description: The hard clam (Meretrix meretrix) is a commercially and ecologically important benthic mollusk in South and Southeast Asia. Growth is one of the most important and complex traits affecting clam breeding. Therefore, identification of key growth factor genes and their association with growth traits are the primary prerequisites for in-depth study of the mechanisms of growth regulation and molecular marker-assisted selection of the hard clam. In the present study, we generated the full-length cDNA sequences of the growth-related genes BMP2 and BMP7 in M. meretrix (MmBMP2 and MmBMP7) and then investigated their gene expression patterns and associations with growth traits. The full-length cDNA of MmBMP2 was 2641 base pairs (bp), with a 1395 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding 464 amino acids. The full-length MmBMP7 cDNA was 3161 bp, with a 1257 bp ORF encoding 418 amino acids. In adult clams, expression of MmBMP2 and MmBMP7 were significantly higher in the mantle than in the other five tested tissues (p < 0.05). Among the seven developmental stages of M. meretrix, expression of MmBMP2 was the highest in juveniles (p < 0.05), and expression of MmBMP7 was very low in 4-cell embryo and eyespot larva stages (p < 0.05). Two hundred and sixty-three individuals from two populations were screened for MmBMP2 and MmBMP7 polymorphisms, and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with growth traits in MmBMP2 was found in both populations. Subsequent analysis revealed that two SNPs in MmBMP2 were shared between the populations. One was A726G, for which individuals with genotypes AG had significantly higher growth traits than those with genotype AA (p < 0.05). The other was A732T, for which individuals with genotype AT had significantly higher growth traits than those with genotype AA (p < 0.05). These results suggest that BMP2 markers may have potential value in molecular selective breeding to improve clam growth.

description: A significant role in national economy and socio-economic development of the country is played by dairy industry. This industry is an important source of employment in country especially in the rural India. One of the major challenges of this industry is to increase the milk production in order to meet the needs and wants of the growing population because milk, which is a complete food is also a key element in household security. Moreover, milk is the basic needed item of many dairy products like curd, ghee, ice-cream, lassi etc. Under such conditions, the maintenance of high-quality milk production under hygienic conditions at farms generally located in rural places in India and then bringing it hygienically to milk plants is a super challenging job. Clean milk is generally defined as “milk drawn from the udder of healthy animals, which is collected in clean dry milking pails and free from extraneous matters like dust, dirt, flies, hay, manure etc. Clean milk has a normal composition, possess a natural milk flavor with low bacterial count and is safe for human consumption”. Quality of milk is not an option but an obligation and thus ‘quality of milk’ has been placed superior to the ‘quantity of milk’.

In both cases we propose a spectrum of operators motivated by Virasoro symmetry which is devoid of a stress energy tensor as an approximate means of enforcing $c=0$. Percolation is treated in $2\leq D \leq 6$ dimensions, and the self-avoiding walk in $2 \leq D \leq 4$.

description: We study the trapping of Abelian anyons (quasiholes and quasiparticles) by a local potential (e.g., induced by an AFM tip) in a microscopic model of fractional quantum Hall liquids with long-range Coulomb interaction and edge confining potential. We find, in particular, at Laughlin filling fraction $ν= 1/3$, both quasihole and quasiparticle states can emerge as the ground state of the system in the presence of the trapping potential. As expected, we find the presence of an Abelian quasihole has no effect on the edge spectrum of the quantum liquid, unlike in the non-Abelian case [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 97}, 256804 (2006)]. Although quasiholes and quasiparticles can emerge generically in the system, their stability depends on the strength of the confining potential, the strength and the range of the trapping potential. We discuss the relevance of the calculation to the high-accuracy generation and control of individual anyons in potential experiments, in particular, in the context of topological quantum computing.

description: We study the application of limited-width MDDs (multi-valued decision diagrams) as discrete relaxations for combinatorial optimization problems. These relaxations are used for the purpose of generating lower bounds. We introduce a new compilation method for constructing such MDDs, as well as algorithms that manipulate the MDDs to obtain stronger relaxations and hence provide stronger lower bounds. We apply our methodology to set covering problems, and evaluate the strength of MDD relaxations to relaxations based on linear programming. Our experimental results indicate that the MDD relaxation is particularly effective on structured problems, being able to outperform state-of-the-art integer programming technology by several orders of magnitude.

description: The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas is an important species living in the intertidal zones. It is of great significance to study the mechanism of oysters to adapt air exposure. In the present study, weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) with the transcriptome data of gills and adductor muscle was conducted to investigate the metabolic transformation of C. gigas under air exposure. GO enrichment of modules specifically expressed in adductor muscle of oysters exposed to air for five, seven and nine days revealed the phased expression of respiratory chain, protein turnover and lipid metabolism, indicating the conversion of energy metabolism. During air exposure, “respiratory chain” and “ribosome biogenesis” were enriched in the muscle on the fifth day, suggesting that glycogen metabolism was dominant in the early stages of air exposure. On the seventh day, many terms about the regulation of proteolysis were enriched, indicating that carbohydrates were not be able to meet the metabolic needs in the oyster adductor muscle, and proteins began to be degraded for energy supply. The processes related to lipid metabolism were enriched on the ninth day. The extremely high glycogen content of C. gigas allowed it to maintain a basic metabolic activity for a long time with a conservative compensation strategy. GO and KEGG enrichments of the modules sensitive to air exposure in gills were mainly involved in “response to endoplasmic reticulum stress”, “Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) to Golgi transport vesicle membrane” and “protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum”. It revealed that the mechanism of oyster adapting to air exposure was a complex regulatory network depending on the ER. Hub gene network and PPI network analyses found that some transcription factors containing zinc finger domains regulated the biochemical reactions for stress adaptation, indicating that the ER, as a regulatory element sensitive to external stress, could regulate apoptosis, autophagy and protein degradation in gills of C. gigas under air exposure. These results would provide new insights into the adaptation of C. gigas to air exposure in terms of energy metabolism and homeostasis.

description: While static symmetry breaking has been explored in the SAT community for decades, only as of 2010 research has focused on exploiting the same discovered symmetry dynamically, during the run of the SAT solver, by learning extra clauses. The two methods are distinct and not compatible. The former may prune solutions, whereas the latter does not – it only prunes areas of the search that are guaranteed not to have solutions, like standard conflict clauses. Both approaches, however, require what we call full symmetry, namely a propositionally-consistent mapping σ between the literals, such that σ(φ) ≡ φ, where here ≡ means syntactic equivalence modulo clause ordering and literal ordering within the clauses. In this article we show that such full symmetry is not a necessary condition for adding extra clauses: isomorphism between possibly-overlapping subgraphs of the colored incidence graph is sufficient. While finding such subgraphs is a computationally hard problem, there are many cases in which they can be detected a priori by analyzing the high-level structure of the problem from which the CNF was derived. We demonstrate this principle with several well-known problems.

description: We study the net dielectron production rates from an ensemble of thermal mesons, using an effective Lagrangian to model their interaction. The coupling between the electromagnetic and the hadronic sectors is done through the vector meson dominance approach. For the first time, a complete set of light mesons is considered. We include contributions from decays of the type V~(PS)~$\rightarrow$~PS~(V)~+~$e^+~e^-$, where V is a vector meson and PS is a pseudoscalar, as well as those from binary reactions PS~+~PS, V~+~V, and V~+~PS~$\rightarrow~e^+e^-$. Direct decays of the type V~$\rightarrow~e^+ e^-$ are included and shown to be important. We find that the dielectron invariant mass spectrum naturally divides in distinct regions: in the low mass domain the decays from vector and pseudoscalar mesons form the dominant contribution. The pion--pion annihilation and direct decays then pick up and form the leading signal in an invariant mass region that includes the $ρ- ω$ complex and extends up to the $ϕ$. Above invariant mass $M\ \approx$~1~GeV other two-body reactions take over as the prominent mechanisms for lepton pair generation. These facts will have quantitative bearing on the eventual identification of the quark--gluon plasma.

description: Polychaetes play a prominent role in marine systems, but little is known about their secondary metabolites compared with other benthic taxa. In the present study, we investigated the toxicity of hallachrome, an unusual 1-2 anthraquinone identified from the skin of some polychaetes, including the Mediterranean infaunal species Halla parthenopeia. Under stress conditions, this worm releases a harmful purple mucus, whose noxious compounds were still unknown. We hypothesized that hallachrome also occurs in the purple mucus, giving rise to its color and toxicity. Soon after the production of the purple exudate, H. parthenopeia also secretes a harmless, transparent mucus, which pushes away the toxic one, suggesting protective functions for the worm itself. LC-MS and 1H-NMR analyses confirmed the presence of the pigment hallachrome in the purple mucus. The average concentration of the pigment in the purple mucus was about 310 mg L-1. Ecotoxicological bioassays on representative species of bacteria, protozoans, rotifers, crustaceans (Artemia franciscana) and polychaetes (Dinophilus gyrociliatus) revealed its severe toxic effects: LC50/EC50 values ranged from 0.11-5.67 mg L-1. Hallachrome showed higher toxicity for A. franciscana than other naturally occurring anthraquinones. Tests on encapsulated embryos of D. gyrociliatus evidenced the ability of a mucus layer to limit hallachrome diffusion, confirming the protective role of the transparent mucus. Given the information available on polychaetes anti-predator strategies, hallachrome cannot be considered a consumer deterrent. However its toxicity and wide range of activity suggest chemical defensive functions against potential competitors, parasites and/or pathogens.

description: We show that there is a constraint on the parameter space of two Higgs doublet models that comes from the existence of the stable vortex-domain wall systems. The constraint is quite universal in the sense that it depends on only two combinations of Lagrangian parameters and does not depend on how fermions couple to two Higgs fields. Numerical solutions of field configurations of domain wall-vortex system are obtained, which provide a basis for further quantitative study of cosmology which involve such topological objects.

The title of the paper has been changed accordingly. Other parts, that are unaffected by the error, were refined as well. v3 matches published version in Phys. Lett. B

description: Taylor diffusion (or dispersion) refers to a phenomenon discovered experimentally by Taylor in the 1950s where a solute dropped into a pipe with a background shear flow experiences diffusion at a rate proportional to $1/ν$, which is much faster than what would be produced by the static fluid if its viscosity is $0 < ν\ll 1$. This phenomenon is analyzed rigorously using the linear PDE governing the evolution of the solute. It is shown that the solution can be split into two pieces, an approximate solution and a remainder term. The approximate solution is governed by an infinite-dimensional system of ODEs that possesses a finite-dimensional center manifold, on which the dynamics correspond to diffusion at a rate proportional to $1/ν$. The remainder term is shown to decay at a rate that is much faster than the leading order behavior of the approximate solution. This is proven using a spectral decomposition in Fourier space and a hypocoercive estimate to control the intermediate Fourier modes.

description: Restoring soil carbon is essential to enhancing soil quality, sustaining and improving food production, maintaining clean water,and reducing increases in atmospheric CO2. Short-sighted farming practices have resulted in loss of an estimated 4 + 1 gigatons (Gt) of carbon from soils of the United States, and 78 + 12 Gt from the world's soils, a large fraction of which ended up in the atmosphere( 1). Soil carbon loss has come principally from plowing that turns over the soil, making it susceptible to accelerated erosion( 2). This is exemplified by the Dust Bowl era in the United States and is a serious issue in most developing countries

description: We show that some types of sudden singularities admit a natural explanation in terms of regular changes of signature on brane-worlds in AdS$_{5}$. The present accelerated expansion of the Universe and its possible ending at a sudden singularity may therefore simply be an indication that our braneworld is about to change its Lorentzian signature to an Euclidean one, while remaining fully regular. An explicit example of this behaviour satisfying the weak and strong energy conditions is presented.

description: Analysing and modelling pedestrian activity in built environments allows us to understand, assess, predict, and manage its dynamics. Nonetheless, pedestrian activity data might not be available everywhere. An alternative can suggest predicting pedestrian activity by considering environmental characteristics and the geometrical configuration of the environment. This paper presents a Machine Learning pedestrian activity level prediction model, which is trained and tested using data extracted from smart city sensor systems from multiple cities. The proposed model was applied to Greater London, UK, and the prediction results were compared with pedestrian activity data provided by Transport for London. Our results show that the model has high potential to predict pedestrian activity levels in a city, but that further research is needed to obtain more reliable results.

description: An important difference between high dimensional smooth manifolds and smooth 4-manifolds that in a 4-manifold it is not always possible to represent every middle dimensional homology class with a smoothly embedded sphere. This is true even among the simplest 4-manifolds: $X_0(K)$ obtained by attaching an $0$-framed 2-handle to the 4-ball along a knot $K$ in $S^3$. The $0$-shake genus of $K$ records the minimal genus among all smooth embedded surfaces representing a generator of the second homology of $X_0(K)$ and is clearly bounded above by the slice genus of $K$. We prove that slice genus is not an invariant of $X_0(K)$, and thereby provide infinitely many examples of knots with $0$-shake genus strictly less than slice genus. This resolves Problem 1.41 of [Kir97]. As corollaries we show that Rasmussen's $s$ invariant is not a $0$-trace invariant and we give examples, via the satellite operation, of bijective maps on the smooth concordance group which fix the identity but do not preserve slice genus. These corollaries resolve some questions from [4MKC16].
