description: Although histogram methods have been extremely effective for analyzing data from Monte Carlo simulations, they do have certain limitations, including the range over which they are valid and the difficulties of combining data from independent simulations. In this paper, we describe an complementary approach to extracting information from Monte Carlo simulations that uses the matrix of transition probabilities. Combining the Transition Matrix with an N-fold way simulation technique produces an extremely flexible and efficient approach to rather general Monte Carlo simulations.

Implications of JLA data for $k-$essence model of dark energy with given equation of state

description: We investigated implications of recently released `Joint Light-curve Analysis' (JLA) supernova Ia (SNe Ia) data for dark energy models with time varying equation of state of dark energy, usually expressed as $w(z)$ in terms of variation with corresponding redshift $z$. From a comprehensive analysis of the JLA data, we obtain the observational constraints on the different functional forms of $w(z)$, corresponding to different varying dark energy models often considered in literature, \textit{viz.} CPL, JBP, BA and Logarithmic models. The constraints are expressed in terms of parameters ($w_a, w_b$) appearing in the chosen functional form for $w(z)$, corresponding to each of the above mentioned models. Realising dark energy with varying equation of state in terms of a homogeneous scalar field $ϕ$, with its dynamics driven by a $k-$essence Lagrangian $L=VF(X)$ with a constant potential $V$ and a dynamical term $F(X)$ with $X=(1/2)\nabla^μϕ\nabla_μϕ$ we reconstructed form of the function $F(X)$. This reconstruction has been performed for different varying dark energy models at best-fit values of parameters ($w_a, w_b$) obtained from analysis of JLA data. In the context of $k-$essence model, we also investigate the variation of adiabatic sound speed squared, $c_s^2(z)$, and obtained the domains in ($w_a, w_b$) parameter space corresponding to the physical bound $ c_s^2>0$ implying stability of density perturbations.

Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays

description: The current status of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECR) is reviewed, with emphasis given to theoretical interpretation of the observed events. The galactic and extragalactic origin, in case of astrophysical sources of UHE particles, have the problems either with acceleration to the observed energies or with the fluxes and spectra. Topological defects can naturally produce particles with energies as observed and much higher, but in most cases fail to produce the observed fluxes. Cosmic necklaces and monopole-antimonopole pairs are identified as most plausible sources, which can provide the observed flux and spectrum. The relic superheavy particles are shown to be clustering in the Galactic halo, producing UHECR without Greisen-Zatsepin-Kuzmin cutoff. The Lightest Supersymmetric Particles are discussed as UHE carriers in the Universe.

description: The collisional stability of ultracold polar molecules in electrostatic traps is considered. Rate constants for collisions that drive molecules from weak-field-seeking to strong-field-seeking states are estimated using a simple model. The rates are found to be quite large, of order 10^{-12} - 10^{-10} cm^3/sec, and moreover to grow rapidly in an externally applied electric field. It is argued that these results are generic for polar molecules, and that therefore polar molecules should be trapped by other than electrostatic means.

description: We investigate the autocorrelator of conductance peak heights for quantum dots in the Coulomb blockade regime. Analytical and numerical results based on Random Matrix Theory are presented and compared to exact numerical calculations based on a simple dynamical model. We consider the case of preserved time-reversal symmetry, which is realized experimentally by varying the shape of the quantum dot in the absence of magnetic fields. Upon a proper rescaling, the correlator becomes independent of the details of the system and its form is solely determined by symmetry properties and the number of channels in the leads. The magnitude of the scaling parameter is estimated by a semiclassical approach.

description: The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a leading experiment in neutrino physics which is presently under construction. DUNE aims to measure the yet unknown parameters in the three flavour oscillation scenario which includes discovery of leptonic CP violation, determination of the mass hierarchy and determination of the octant of $θ_{23}$. Additionally, the ancillary goals of DUNE include probing the sub-dominant effects induced by new physics. A widely studied new physics scenario is that of nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI) in propagation which impacts the oscillations of neutrinos. We consider some of the essential NSI parameters impacting the oscillation signals at DUNE and explore the space of NSI parameters as well as study their correlations among themselves and with the yet unknown CP violating phase, $δ$ appearing in the standard paradigm. The experiment utilizes a wide band beam and provides us with a unique opportunity to utilize different beam tunes at DUNE. We demonstrate that combining information from different beam tunes (low energy, LE and medium energy, ME) available at DUNE impacts the ability to probe some of these parameters and leads to altering the allowed regions in two-dimensional space of parameters considered.

Leaky ReLUs That Differ in Forward and Backward Pass Facilitate Activation Maximization in Deep Neural Networks

description: Activation maximization (AM) strives to generate optimal input stimuli, revealing features that trigger high responses in trained deep neural networks. AM is an important method of explainable AI. We demonstrate that AM fails to produce optimal input stimuli for simple functions containing ReLUs or Leaky ReLUs, casting doubt on the practical usefulness of AM and the visual interpretation of the generated images. This paper proposes a solution based on using Leaky ReLUs with a high negative slope in the backward pass while keeping the original, usually zero, slope in the forward pass. The approach significantly increases the maxima found by AM. The resulting ProxyGrad algorithm implements a novel optimization technique for neural networks that employs a secondary network as a proxy for gradient computation. This proxy network is designed to have a simpler loss landscape with fewer local maxima than the original network. Our chosen proxy network is an identical copy of the original network, including its weights, with distinct negative slopes in the Leaky ReLUs. Moreover, we show that ProxyGrad can be used to train the weights of Convolutional Neural Networks for classification such that, on some of the tested benchmarks, they outperform traditional networks.

Modulating outcomes of oil drops bursting at a water-air interface

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent studies have shown that capillary waves generated by bursting of an oil drop at the water-air interface produces a daughter droplet inside the bath while part of it floats above it. Successive bursting events produce next generations of daughter droplets, gradually diminishing in size until the entire volume of oil rests atop the water-air interface. In this work, we demonstrate two different ways to modulate this process by modifying the constitution of the drop. Firstly, we introduce hydrophilic clay particles inside the parent oil drop and show that it arrests the cascade of daughter droplet generation preventing it from floating over the water-air interface. Secondly, we show that bursting behavior can be modified by a compound water-oil-air interface made of a film of oil with finite thickness and design a regime map which displays each of these outcomes. We underpin both of these demonstrations by theoretical arguments providing criteria to predict outcomes resulting therein. Lastly, all our scenarios have a direct relation to control of oil-water separation and stability of emulsified solutions in a wide variety of applications which include drug delivery, enhanced oil recovery, oil spills and food processing where a dispersed oil phase tries to separate from a continuous phase.

Both cases in the absence of impurity and in the presence of impurity are solved and compared. It is indicated that both impurity and hard-core interaction do not affect the result of persistent current explicitly if there is a large number of electrons in the ring.

subject: Autoethnography

description: This thesis is an exploration of forgiveness in the aftermath of IPV. It argues that forgiveness plays a paradoxical role in the life of IPV victims, and identifies a specific rhetorical use of forgiveness that the author terms “silencing forgiveness.” “Silencing forgiveness” simultaneously diminishes the victim’s experience, marginalizes their voices, while placing the onus for conflict resolution on them. In the process of researching and writing this thesis, the author conducted a literature search and review in a broad array of disciplines including criminology, conflict resolution, psychology, sociology, and victims’ narratives. The author’s IPV narrative offers the reader an account of a victim’s emotional growth in the period leading up to separation from an IPV abuser. It provides a window into the intimate and social dynamics in which forgiveness has a place.

description: The main objective of the APPLICATE project is to develop enhanced predictive capacity for weather and climate in the Arctic and beyond, and to determine the influence of Arctic climate change on the Northern Hemisphere. WP7 integrates three main areas of action: communication and dissemination of the project results, user engagement and training. All the activities are being carefully targeted to different groups of potential audiences (e.g. research community, EU projects, general public) and stakeholders. The objectives of the project’s communication and dissemination activities are to increase the awareness about the impact of Arctic changes on the weather and climate of the Northern Hemisphere. This is being achieved by the development of relevant forms of communication within and outside the EU to adequately disseminate results that could be used for either policy or socioeconomic actions and maximising exposure and impact of the science produced and project results to end-users, stakeholders and the public at large. The communication and dissemination plan provides the framework for the development of this task during the project period, identifying and detailing target audiences, communication tools and channels, key messages, practical information and the organization of dedicated policy events. This plan has been revised and updated during the project lifetime and in accordance to the project periodic reports.

description: We explore the structure of a dipole-type vacuum field of a slowly rotating magnetic star near the horizon of a supermassive black hole, where the structure of field lines becomes highly distorted by effects of strong gravity. Such a situation may occur near a neutron star in the final stages of a plunging trajectory into a galactic center. We solve Maxwell's equations in the Rindler approximation for the rotating conducting source of dipolar magnetic field arbitrarily inclined with respect to the axis of rotation. For the fixed inclination angle we calculate the field including the radiative terms while in the general case we discuss the electromagnetic field considering the near-field terms only. In the latter case we investigate the emergence of magnetic null points within the vacuum magnetosphere. Null points become highly relevant in the presence of astrophysical plasma where they are connected with processes of magnetic reconnection and mass ejection.

description: This thesis describes the rehabilitation and reintegration process for children who served as child soldiers in the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in Northern Uganda. It examines the rehabilitation and reintegration process, arguing that a more clearly gendered approach should be in place because the current process does not adequately deal with the range of psychological effects or the particular kinds of traumas that the girls experience. Even though rehabilitation programs describe their programs as individualistic where girls’ needs are addressed, there are many reasons why different rehabilitation and reintegration protocols should be in place for handling the differences for girls. This thesis examines the background of the conflict, modes of abduction and coercion into the LRA, the roles of the children in the LRA, and the ways they leave the rebel forces. This thesis serves as a reference and resource for individuals interested in the conflict in Northern Uganda and the complex rehabilitation and reintegration processes that follow.

description: Mixed data comprises both numeric and categorical features, and mixed datasets occur frequently in many domains, such as health, finance, and marketing. Clustering is often applied to mixed datasets to find structures and to group similar objects for further analysis. However, clustering mixed data is challenging because it is difficult to directly apply mathematical operations, such as summation or averaging, to the feature values of these datasets. In this paper, we present a taxonomy for the study of mixed data clustering algorithms by identifying five major research themes. We then present a state-of-the-art review of the research works within each research theme. We analyze the strengths and weaknesses of these methods with pointers for future research directions. Lastly, we present an in-depth analysis of the overall challenges in this field, highlight open research questions and discuss guidelines to make progress in the field.

description: The researcher examines the alignment between a teacher’s pedagogical justification for student learning and that of the American institutional discourse of education by studying the relationship between the localized rhetorical choices of three teachers’ instructional speech and the tacit institutional discourses as observed in the teacher’s linguistic delivery in the classroom. Through institutional critique, the researcher historicizes education to reveal the original aims of education in antiquity as a moral endeavor, then establishes the American educational institutional discourse as one that privileges industry and economy. By utilizing rhetorical analysis to inform critical pedagogy, the researcher asserts that teachers can reclaim their pedagogical beliefs that are currently being dominated by institutional discourses and actively make changes within their institutions.

 DISTRIBUTION. — Denmark, Germany, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, as Cryptosphaeria millepunctata (synonym of Cryptosphaeria eunomia), United States Marine based specimens from Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia western Pacific Ocean.   NOTES
 Cryptosphaeria eunomia possesses a widely effused stroma within bark tissues that is slightly elevated, light colored or darkened, with separate, rounded or stellate ostioles at the surface. Asci are clavate or cylindrical, 8-spored, usually with long stalks, and paraphysate with allantoid, hyaline or brownish ascospores. It is widely known from Fraxinus spp., Juglans regia, and Robinia pseudoacacia (Rappaz 1987; Grand 1985; Dudka et al. 2004; Farr & Rossman 2018). It has also been isolated from an unidentified marine sponge from Pohnpei, and which yielded the anti-mycobacterial compounds diaporthein A and B (Kim 2013). Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain herbarium material of Cryptosphaeria eunomia collected from a marine habitat and there are no sequences generated from marine based strains.
 We used two strains of Cr. eunomia var. eunomia (CBS 216.87) and Cr. eunomia var. fraxini (CBS223.87) in our phylogenetic analyses.They grouped apart from all other Cryptosphaeria species and were located in a clade comprising Eutypa species (Figs 1; 2).

description: In this work, the conversion of linear polarization of a laser beam to circular one through its forward scattering by a TeV order charged lepton beam in the presence of Lorentz violation correction is explored. We calculate the ratio of circular polarization to linear one (Faraday Conversion phase $Δϕ_{\rm{FC}}$) of the laser beam interacting with either electron or the muon beam in the framework of the quantum Boltzmann equation. Regarding the experimentally available sensitivity to the Faraday conversion $Δϕ_{\rm{FC}}\simeq 10^{-3}-10^{-2}$, we show that the scattering of a linearly polarized laser beam with energy $k_0\sim 0.1$ eV and an electron/muon beam with flux $\barε_{e,μ}\sim 10^{10}/10^{12}$ TeV cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ places an upper bound on the combination of lepton sector Lorentz violation coefficients $c_{μν}$ components $(c_{TT}+1.4~c_{(TZ)}+0.25(c_{XX}+c_{YY}+2~c_{ZZ}))$. The obtained bound on the combination for the electron beam is at the $4.35\times 10^{-15}$ level and for the muon beam at the $3.9\times 10^{-13}$ level. It should be mentioned that the laser and charged lepton beams considered here to reach the experimentally measurable $Δϕ_{\rm{FC}}$ are currently available or will be accessible in the near future. This study provides a valuable supplementary to other theoretical and experimental frameworks for measuring and constraining Lorentz violation coefficients.

description: We obtain analytical formulae for the cross section and the angular distributions of the b(bbar) quarks in the process e+e- -> t tbar, with t -> W+ b (tbar -> W- bbar) assuming CP violation in the γt tbar and Z t tbar vertices. We present CP violating asymmetries, which measure separately the real and imaginary parts of the electroweak dipole moment form factors of the top, d^γ(s) and d^{Z}(s). We give a numerical analysis of these asymmetries within the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with complex parameters. They turn out to be of order <= 10^{-3}.

title: Examining The Effects of Social Reintroduction on Neuropathology Developed in 129 Mice on Account of Social Isolation

description: The presence of socialization amongst several species has proven to be not only be prevalent in the daily workings of neurological and behavioral processes, but also crucial. Both humans and mice alike are identified as social species due to their proclivity towards collective intraspecies involvement. Conversely, the upheaval of this social engagement has been suggested to result in detriments towards proper behavioral and thus neurological performance. This study investigated the neurobehavioral effects of different social conditions in mice models, consisting of continually isolated, continually group-housed, and socially reintroduced mice groups. Mice in these different conditions were tested by means of thorough behavioral analyses with histological analyses conducted at the study’s close to determine the presence of any subsequent neuropathology developed on account of social isolation, and/or any potential alleviation provided by social reintroduction. The majority of the behavioral results in this study did not yield statistical significance, though mice in the social conditions (both group-housed and socially reintroduced), on average, were observed to perform better than their socially isolated counterparts. Additionally, the results which did prove statistically significant at the 12-week period, namely the Open Field, and Circadian Rhythm tests, were in line with our previous isolation study results suggesting that isolation leads to heightened anxiety and disturbed circadian activity. The significant results from the Elevated Zero Maze at the 20-week period may suggest that the provision of social opportunity at least enables higher protections against deficits in anxiety-related behaviors. Significant results for sex in the EZM test may also suggest a sex-based influence in regards to the aforementioned behaviors.
Anomalous aging phenomena caused by drift velocities

description: We demonstrate via several examples that a uniform drift velocity gives rise to anomalous aging, characterized by a specific form for the two-time correlation functions, in a variety of statistical-mechanical systems far from equilibrium. Our first example concerns the oscillatory phase observed recently in a model of competitive learning. Further examples, where the proposed theory is exact, include the voter model and the Ohta-Jasnow-Kawasaki theory for domain growth in any dimension, and a theory for the smoothing of sandpile surfaces.

 Cryptovalsa contains 24 species, which are reported on woody substrates in a wide range of terrestrial habitats (Wijayawardene et al. 2017). The generic type, Cryptovalsa protracta lacks sequence data in GenBank (Abdel-Wahab et al. 2017). Four Cryptovalsa species have been described from marine habitats namely, C. avicenniae, C. halosarceiicola, C. mangrovei, C. suaedicola (Spooner 1981, Inderbitzin et al. 1999, Abdel-Wahab et al. 2017). However, based on morphological and phylogenetic data C. avicenniae is transferred to the new genus, Halocryptovalsa Dayarathne & K.D.Hyde, gen. nov. Cryptovalsa is in need of further revision, with detailed modern descriptions, and better illustrations of species, their epitypification, isolation and sequencing to establish phylogenetic relationships to other genera in the family (Abdel-Wahab et al. 2017).

description: Pseudo-Goldstone dark matter coupled to the Standard Model via the Higgs portal offers an attractive framework for phenomenologically viable pseudo-scalar dark matter. It enjoys natural suppression of the direct detection rate due to the vanishing of the relevant (tree level) Goldstone boson vertex at zero momentum transfer, which makes light WIMP-like dark matter consistent with the strong current bounds. In this work, we explore prospects of detecting pseudo-Goldstone dark matter at the LHC, focusing on the vector boson fusion (VBF) channel with missing energy. We find that, in substantial regions of parameter space, relatively light dark matter ($m_χ< 100$ GeV) can be discovered in the high luminosity run as long as it is produced in decays of the Higgs-like bosons.

Expected X-ray emission from a failed supernova and fallback heating effect
Creators: name: Hayakawa, Tomoyasu
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Thanks to detections of gravitational wave and other follow-up observations made us confirm stellar mass black holes (BHs). However, how these stellar mass BHs are formed is still under the debate. Solving this problem, one of key events is a failed supernova (SN). It is suggested by theoretical works that SNe whose progenitor mass is around twenty solar masses or more fails to explode, indeed BH masses from gravitational waves has almost same mass range and several failed SN candidates were observed. However, to detect the failed SNe is very hard because of its low luminosity. To detect more failed SNe and related transient events, more theoretical predictions with other wavelength are needed. So, we focus on X-ray emission from them. Because, X-ray is more transparent than other wave length and still active engine with super Eddington accretion rate is expected in the center after the collapse. We calculated 1DRHD by SNEC and estimated transparency for X-ray as post-process. As a result, we found that X-rays are luminous comparable to that observed in SNe and last several months. In addition, we found outflows from active BH accretion support the ejecta transparent rapidly.
