description: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been associated with pervasive difficulties in social interaction and communication, including impaired facial emotion recognition, aberrant social approach-avoidance tendencies, and emotion dysregulation. The project aims to examine brain and behavioral level differences in socio-emotional processing between individuals with ASD and non-autistic controls (NCs). The study will apply behavioral neuroimaging paradigms using functional (emotion perception, approach tendencies, emotion regulation, resting state) and structural MRI (cortical volume and thickness, white matter integrity), and a battery of behavioral tasks and measures targeting social cognition and ASD-related mental health. Associations between social interaction and cognition-related brain activations and behaviors, as well as emotional states, will be explored. The cross-sectional data set will be acquired in the context of an RCT on the effectiveness of psychotherapy on social functioning in adult ASD (DRKSID: DRKS00017817). In this large collaborative project, a group of research questions will be investigated using different methods and paradigms. For this reason, the results of these investigations will be published separately.

Transverse mass as a means of measuring the W width at the Tevatron
Creators: name: Summers, David J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: At the Tevatron the transverse mass is used to separate on mass shell from off mass shell W production; and the rate of off mass shell W production gives a measure of the W width. We look at alternative variables to see if the separation of on and off mass shell W's can be improved, and hence give a better measure of the W width. We find that the transverse mass is very close to the optimal variable for separating on from off mass shell W decay, and hence there is little to be gained by using other, more complicated, variables. This happens because if the transverse mass is above the W mass, the W is guaranteed to be produced off mass shell.

description: We report the conditional occurrences between three planetary types: super-Earths (m sin i $<$ 10 M$_\oplus$, P $<$ 100 days), warm Jupiters (m sin i $>$ 95 $M_\oplus$, 10 $<$ P $<$ 100 days), and cold Jupiters (m sin i $>$ 95 M$_\oplus$, P $>$ 400 days) for sun-like stars. We find that while the occurrence of cold Jupiters in systems with super-Earths is $22.2\substack{+8.3\\-5.4}$$\%$, compared to $10$$\%$ for the absolute occurrence rate of cold Jupiters, the occurrence of super-Earths in systems with cold Jupiters is $66.0\substack{+18.0\\-16.0}$$\%$, compared to $30$$\%$ for the absolute occurrence rate of super-Earths for sun-like stars. We find that the enhancement of super-Earths in systems with cold Jupiters is evident for sun-like stars, in agreement with several previous studies. We also conduct occurrence studies between warm Jupiters and super-Earths, and between warm Jupiters and cold Jupiters, to consolidate our methods. We conduct an independent observational test to study the effects of cold Jupiters against the inner multiplicity using the well-established giant planet host star metallicity correlation for all transiting planets found to date. The conditional occurrences we find here can be used to constrain the validity of various planetary formation models. The extremely interesting correlations between the super-Earths, cold Jupiters, and warm Jupiters can also be used to understand the formation histories of these planetary types.

Rates of multi-partite entanglement transformations and applications in quantum networks

description: The theory of the asymptotic manipulation of pure bipartite quantum systems can be considered completely understood: The rates at which bipartite entangled states can be asymptotically transformed into each other are fully determined by a single number each, the respective entanglement entropy. In the multi-partite setting, similar questions of the optimally achievable rates of transforming one pure state into another are notoriously open. This seems particularly unfortunate in the light of the revived interest in such questions due to the perspective of experimentally realizing multi-partite quantum networks. In this work, we report substantial progress by deriving surprisingly simple upper and lower bounds on the rates that can be achieved in asymptotic multi-partite entanglement transformations. These bounds are based on ideas of entanglement combing and state merging. We identify cases where the bounds coincide and hence provide the exact rates. As an example, we bound rates at which resource states for the cryptographic scheme of quantum secret sharing can be distilled from arbitrary pure tripartite quantum states, providing further scope for quantum internet applications beyond point-to-point.

On the mean values of L-functions in orthogonal and symplectic families

description: Hybrid Euler-Hadamard products have previously been studied for the Riemann zeta function on its critical line and for Dirichlet L-functions in the context of the calculation of moments and connections with Random Matrix Theory. According to the Katz-Sarnak classification, these are believed to represent families of L-function with unitary symmetry. We here extend the formalism to families with orthogonal & symplectic symmetry. Specifically, we establish formulae for real quadratic Dirichlet L-functions and for the L-functions associated with primitive Hecke eigenforms of weight 2 in terms of partial Euler and Hadamard products. We then prove asymptotic formulae for some moments of these partial products and make general conjectures based on results for the moments of characteristic polynomials of random matrices.
Open Access 2020: Initiatives for Large-Scale Transition to Open Access

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2016
Subjects: Open Access, research, publishing

description: Over the course of the last ten to fifteen years, open access has become a shared vision of many, if not most, of the world’s national and international research councils. Open access as a principle is very well established in the international discourse on research policies; however, open access as a practice has yet to transform the traditional subscription-based publishing system, which is as vigorous and prosperous as ever, despite its inherent restrictions on access and usage and its remarkable detachment from the potentials of a 21st-century web-based publishing system. OA2020 aims to bring a new approach to the transactional side of the publishing system and the ways in which its cash flow is organized. The goal is to achieve on a larger scale what SCOAP3 has successfully done for some core journals in the field of High-Energy Physics: to convert journals from subscription to open access by re-directing the existing subscription spend into open access funds, and from these to finance the essential services that publishers provide for scholarly communication, i.e. the administration of peer review, editing, and open access article dissemination. OA2020 would enable an orderly transformation of the current publishing system, since the disruptions would affect only the underlying cash flows, rather than the publishing process itself or the roles of journals and publishers. The bonus is open access to research results from the moment of their publication. This presentation will describe the philosophical and practical considerations of this initiative and how momentum is expected to build up. Dr Ralf Schimmer, as Head of Scientific Information Provision at the Max Planck Digital Library, is responsible for the electronic resources licensing programme for the entire Max Planck Society and for a broad range of Open Access and other information services. He has been a frequent co-organiser of the Berlin conferences on Open Access since 2003 and manages the Open Access publication charge agreements of the Max Planck Society. Currently, he is Chair of the Governing Council of SCOAP3, the Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics, and the project manager for ‘Open Access 2020’, the Max Planck-initiated Open Access transformation initiative. He also serves on a variety of national and international committees and is a frequent member of the library advisory boards of publishers.

description: We describe in detail the quantum tunneling of massive particles from Kerr black hole by using complex trajectories, which are solutions to the Hamilton's equations of motion with imaginary proper time. The trajectories are smooth and cover the inner and outer horizon regions. Following the worldline approach, we compute the energy flux at the event horizon as a summation over these complex trajectories. Density of states is given with the aid of Carter's constant and it is shown to be linear in momenta in the leading order, as long as the phase portrait of the system stays uniform. Under this assumption, we obtain the thermal spectrum $\sim (T^{+}_H)^4$.

description: The present volume is the fifth in the series of yearbooks with the title Globalistics andGlobalization Studies. The subtitle of the present volume is Global Transformations and GlobalFuture. We become more and more accustomed to think globally and to see global processes. Andour future can all means be global. However, is this statement justified? Indeed, in recent years,many have begun to claim that globalization has stalled, that we are rather dealing with theprocess of anti-globalization. Will not we find ourselves at some point again in an edificespanning across the globe, but divided into national apartments, separated by walls of high tariffsand mutual suspicion? Of course, some setbacks are always possible, because the process ofglobalization cannot develop smoothly. It is a process which is itself emerging fromcontradictions and is shaped by a new contradiction. They often go much further than underlyingsystemic changes allow. They break forward, as the vanguard of a victorious army, and then oftenmeet resistance of various social and political forces and may suddenly start to roll back just at themoment when everyone expects their further offensive. We believe that this is what is happeningwith globalization at present.The yearbook will be interesting to a wide range of researchers, teachers, students and allthose who are concerned about global issues.

description: As more users turn to video-sharing platforms like YouTube as an information source, they may consume misinformation despite their best efforts. In this work, we investigate ways that users can better assess the credibility of videos by first exploring how users currently determine credibility using existing signals on platforms and then by introducing and evaluating new credibility-based signals. We conducted 12 contextual inquiry interviews with YouTube users, determining that participants used a combination of existing signals, such as the channel name, the production quality, and prior knowledge, to evaluate credibility, yet sometimes stumbled in their efforts to do so. We then developed Viblio, a prototype system that enables YouTube users to view and add citations and related information while watching a video based on our participants' needs. From an evaluation with 12 people, all participants found Viblio to be intuitive and useful in the process of evaluating a video's credibility and could see themselves using Viblio in the future.

Interval vs. Point Temporal Logic Model Checking: an Expressiveness Comparison

description: In the last years, model checking with interval temporal logics is emerging as a viable alternative to model checking with standard point-based temporal logics, such as LTL, CTL, CTL*, and the like. The behavior of the system is modeled by means of (finite) Kripke structures, as usual. However, while temporal logics which are interpreted "point-wise" describe how the system evolves state-by-state, and predicate properties of system states, those which are interpreted "interval-wise" express properties of computation stretches, spanning a sequence of states. A proposition letter is assumed to hold over a computation stretch (interval) if and only if it holds over each component state (homogeneity assumption). A natural question arises: is there any advantage in replacing points by intervals as the primary temporal entities, or is it just a matter of taste? In this paper, we study the expressiveness of Halpern and Shoham's interval temporal logic (HS) in model checking, in comparison with those of LTL, CTL, and CTL*. To this end, we consider three semantic variants of HS: the state-based one, introduced by Montanari et al., that allows time to branch both in the past and in the future, the computation-tree-based one, that allows time to branch in the future only, and the trace-based variant, that disallows time to branch. These variants are compared among themselves and to the aforementioned standard logics, getting a complete picture. In particular, we show that HS with trace-based semantics is equivalent to LTL (but at least exponentially more succinct), HS with computation-tree-based semantics is equivalent to finitary CTL*, and HS with state-based semantics is incomparable with all of them (LTL, CTL, and CTL*).

description: We use interstellar scattering of the Vela pulsar to determine the size of its emission region. From interferometric phase variations on short baselines, we find that radio-wave scattering broadens the source by 3.4+/-0.3 milliarcseconds along the major axis at position angle 81+/-3 degrees. The ratio of minor axis to major axis is 0.51+/-0.03. Comparison of angular and temporal broadening indicates that the scattering material lies in the Vela-X supernova remnant surrounding the pulsar. From the modulation of the pulsar's scintillation on very short baselines, we infer a size of 500 km for the pulsar's emission region. We suggest that radio-wave refraction within the pulsar's magnetosphere may plausibly explain this size.

description: We report experimental and theoretical results on spatiotemporal pattern formation in cell populations, where the parameters vary in space and time due to mechanisms intrinsic to the system, namely Dictyostelium discoideum (D.d.) in the starvation phase. We find that different patterns are formed when the populations are initialized at different developmental stages, or, when populations at different initial developmental stages are mixed. The experimentally observed patterns can be understood with a modified Kessler-Levine model that takes into account the initial spatial heterogeneity of the cell populations and a developmental path introduced by us, i.e., the time dependence of the various biochemical parameters. The dynamics of the parameter agree with known biochemical studies. Most importantly the modified model reproduces not only our results, but also the observations of an independent experiment published earlier. This shows that pattern formation can be used to understand and quantify the temporal evolution of the system parameters.

description: In the present paper, on the basis of the theory of production principles and production revolutions, we reveal the interrelation between K-waves and major technological breakthroughs in history and make forecasts about features of the sixth Kondratieff wave in the light of the Cybernetic Revolution that, from our point of view, started in the 1950s. We assume that the sixth K-wave in the 2030s and 2040s will merge with the final phase of the Cybernetic Revolution (which we call a phase of self-regulating systems). This period will be characterized by the breakthrough in medical technologies which will be capable to combine many other technologies into a single complex of MANBRIC-technologies (med-bio-nano-robo-info-cognitive technologies). The article offers some forecasts concerning the development of these technologies.

description: The afterglow of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) has been widely argued to arise from the interaction of a relativistic outflow with its ambient medium. During such an interaction, a pair of shocks are generated: a forward shock that propagates into the medium, and a reverse shock that propagates into the outflow. Extensive studies have been conducted on the emission from the forward shock viewed off-axis. Furthermore, the observation of a reverse shock in an on-axis short GRB suggests that the reverse shock can produce an electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave-detected merger. In this paper, we investigate the contribution of the reverse shock to the afterglow from a top-hat jet viewed off-axis, and apply our model to some short GRBs previously modeled by an off-axis emission. We employ the Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method to get the model parameters (i.e., the jet's half-opening angle $θ_j$, the viewing angle $θ_\text{obs}$, the initial Lorentz factor $Γ_0$, and the isotropic energy $E_\mathrm{iso}$). Our model successfully reproduces off-axis afterglow emission without a structured jet. In addition, our calculations suggest that the reverse shock may produce a prominent feature in an early afterglow, which can be potentially observed in an orphan optical afterglow.

description: We were having lunch in the kitchen when we heard the droning noise. My father said "That's a Doodlebug! Quick outside. We raced out of the front door just in time to see the Doodlebug skirting the seashore but heading towards the town. It was being chased by two aircraft (my father said there were Spitfires, and to me, at 5 years old they're exciting to watch). Just as we returned to the kitchen there was a big explosion. "I hope they tipped it into the sea and not on the town", said my dad.I never saw another Doodlebug but I heard one It was at night and I was curled up between my mother and father in the improvised 'shelter bed 'downstairs. In fact, the bed was upside down and on top of the upright legs, my father had placed mattresses and pillows right up to the ceiling. This was his idea of a shelter.As the Doodlebug passed over our house, my father started counting and said "Any moment now" I held my breath waiting for the explosion. But we heard it far away from our house.Soon after there was the all-clear siren and I crawled into my own bed alongside that of my parents. Our curtains were always drawn at night and during the odd air raid, I could remember watching the searchlights flash across our windows and onto our walls and ceiling. I think the year must have been 1944.

This result provides a lower bound on the distance between the images of relatively compact subsets of $D_1$ and the boundary of $D_2$. This is a natural improvement of an old estimate by Bernal-González that takes into account the geometry of $\partial{D_1}$. Using similar techniques, we also provide a new estimate for the Kobayashi metric on bounded convex domains.

description: We identify a new mechanism in supergravity theories which leads to successful inflation without any need for fine tuning. The simplest model yields a spectrum of density fluctuations tilted away from scale-invariance and negligible gravitational waves. We demonstrate that this is consistent with the observed large-scale structure for a cold dark matter dominated, critical density universe. The model can be tested through measurements of microwave background anisotropy on small angular scales.

description: The present article analyzes the world order in the past, present and future as well as the main factors, foundations and ideas underlying the maintaining and change of the international and global order. The first two sections investigate the evolution of the world order starting from the ancient times up to the late twentieth century. The third section analyzes the origin and decline of the world order based on the American hegemony. The authors reveal the contradictions of the current unipolar world and explain in what way globalization has become more profitable for the developing countries but not for the developed ones. The authors also explain the strengthening belief that the US leading status will inevitably weaken. In this connection we discuss the alternatives of the American strategy and the possibility of the renaissance of the American leadership. The last section presents a factor analysis which allows stating that the world is shifting toward a new balance of power and is likely to become the world without a leader. The new world order will consist of a number of large blocks, coalitions and countries acting within a framework of rules and mutual responsibility. However, the transition to a new world order will take certain time (about two decades). This period, which we denote as the epoch of new coalitions, will involve a reconfiguration of the World System and bring an increasing turbulence and conflict intensity.

description: For the first time, we construct a catalog of compact groups selected from a complete, magnitude-limited redshift survey. We select groups with $N \geq 3$ members based on projected separation and association in redshift space alone. We evaluate the characteristics of the Redshift Survey Compact Groups (RSCG's). Their physical properties (membership frequency, velocity dispersion, density) are similar to those of the Hickson [ApJ, 255, 382 (1982)] Compact Groups. Hickson's isolation criterion is a strong function of the physical and angular group radii and is a poor predictor of the group environment. In fact, most RSCG's are embedded in dense environments. The luminosity function for RSCG's is mildly inconsistent with the survey luminosity function --- the characteristic luminosity is brighter and the faint end shallower for the RSCG galaxies. We construct a model of the selection function of compact groups. Using this selection function, we estimate the abundance of RSCG's; for groups with $N \geq 4$ members the abundance is $3.8 \times 10^{-5} h^3 Mpc^{-3}$. For all RSCG's ($N \geq 3$) the abundance is $1.4 \times 10^{-4} h^3 Mpc^{-3}$.

description: In this paper we find estimates for the optimal constant in the critical Sobolev trace inequality $S\|u\|^p_{L^{p_*}(\partialΩ) \hookrightarrow \|u\|^p_{W^{1,p}(Ω)}$ that are independent of $Ω$. This estimates generalized those of [3] for general $p$. Here $p_* := p(N-1)/(N-p)$ is the critical exponent for the immersion and $N$ is the space dimension. Then we apply our results first to prove existence of positive solutions to a nonlinear elliptic problem with a nonlinear boundary condition with critical growth on the boundary, generalizing the results of [16]. Finally, we study an optimal design problem with critical exponent.

description: Concerns about population ageing apply to both developed and many developing countries and it has turned into a global issue. In the forthcoming decades the population ageing is likely to become one of the most important processes determining the future society characteristics and the direction of technological development. The present paper analyzes some aspects of the population ageing and its important consequences for particular societies and the whole world. Basing on this analysis, we can draw a conclusion that the future technological breakthrough is likely to take place in the 2030s (which we define as the final phase of the Cybernetic Revolution). In the 2020s – 2030s we will expect the upswing of the forthcoming sixth Kondratieff wave, which will introduce the sixth technological paradigm (system). All those revolutionary technological changes will be connected, first of all, with breakthroughs in medicine and related technologies. We also present our ideas about the financial instruments that can help to solve the problem of pension provision for an increasing elderly population in the developed countries. We think that a more purposeful use of pension funds' assets together with an allocation (with necessary guarantees) of the latter into education and upgrading skills of young people in developing countries, perhaps, can partially solve the indicated problem in the developed states

Finite temperature effects in helical quantum turbulence

description: We perform a study on the evolution of helical quantum turbulence at different temperatures by solving numerically the Gross-Pitaevskii and the Stochastic Ginzburg-Landau equations, using up to $4096^3$ grid points with a pseudospectral method. We show that for temperatures close to the critical the fluid described by these equations can act as a classical viscous flow, with the decay of the incompressible kinetic energy and the helicity becoming exponential. The transition from this behavior to the one observed at zero temperature is smooth as a function of temperature. Moreover, the presence of strong thermal effects can inhibit the development of a proper turbulent cascade. We provide anzats for the effective viscosity and friction as a function of the temperature
4. PASTEUR4OA: Open Access Policy Alignment Strategies for European Union Research

Subjects: policies, Europe, Open Access, European Union

description: PASTEUR4OA, a project funded by the Science with and for Society programme in FP7, brings together 15 partners from ten European countries to expedite policy developments at national level and establish a network of expert organizations across Europe to work together for advocacy and coordination (Knowledge Net) in support of the European Commission’s 2012 Recommendation on access to, dissemination of and preservation of scientific information. The project builds on and capitalizes the results of another successful European project (MedOANet) that established a network in the Mediterranean region involving many of the current project partners. PASTEUR4OA has identified expert organizations in member states (Key Node organizations) who engage national policy-makers (namely funders and research institution officials) and assists them in improving and/or developing coordinated policies on open access. Policy-maker engagement will take place through the organization of national meetings, ten regional workshops organized by the project and a European conference bringing together all major stakeholders. The policy engagement programmes developed by various countries will be supported by advocacy material tailored to the needs of each country/ region that the project produces. PASTEUR4OA has already produced policy-focused case-studies of various European countries and a study of policy effectiveness based on an extensive upgrading of the ROARMAP, the main tool that tracks open access policies at the funder and institutional level. The proposed poster outlines work already performed and planned work until the end of the project in July 2016. The project is coordinated by the National Documentation Centre/ NHRF.

description: The stability of socio-political systems and the risks of destabilisationin the process of political transformation are among the most importantissues of social development; the transition to democracy may posea serious threat to the stability of a respective socio-political system. Thisarticle studies the issue of democratisation. It highlights the high economicand social costs of a rapid transition to democracy for countries unpreparedfor it—democracy resulting from revolutions or similar large-scaleevents. The authors believe that in a number of cases authoritarian regimesturn out to be more effective in economic and social terms than emergingdemocracies, especially those of a revolutionary type, which are often incapableof ensuring social order and may have a swing to authoritarianism.Effective authoritarian regimes can also be a suitable form of transitionto an efficient and stable democracy. Using historical and contemporaryexamples, particularly the recent events in Egypt, the article investigatesvarious correlations between revolutionary events and the possibility of establishingdemocracy in a society.

description: Hot subdwarf-B (sdB) stars in long-period binaries are found to be on eccentric orbits, even though current binary-evolution theory predicts these objects to be circularised before the onset of Roche-lobe overflow (RLOF). To increase our understanding of binary interaction processes during the RLOF phase, we started a long term observing campaign to study wide sdB binaries. In this article we present a composite-binary-sdB sample, and the results of the spectral analysis of 9 such systems. The grid search in stellar parameters (GSSP) code is used to derive atmospheric parameters for the cool companions. To cross-check our results and also characterize the hot subdwarfs we used the independent XTgrid code, which employs Tlusty non-local thermodynamic equilibrium models to derive atmospheric parameters for the sdB component and Phoenix synthetic spectra for the cool companions. The independent GSSP and XTgrid codes are found to show good agreement for three test systems that have atmospheric parameters available in the literature. Based on the rotational velocity of the companions, an estimate for the mass accreted during the RLOF phase and the miminum duration of that phase is made. It is found that the mass transfer to the companion is minimal during the subdwarf formation.
