description: An accurate, physically-based, and differentiable model of soft robots can unlock downstream applications in optimal control. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is an expressive approach for modeling highly deformable structures such as dynamic, elastomeric soft robots. In this paper, we compare virtual robot models simulated using differentiable FEM with measurements from their physical counterparts. In particular, we examine several soft structures with different morphologies: a clamped soft beam under external force, a pneumatically actuated soft robotic arm, and a soft robotic fish tail. We benchmark and analyze different meshing resolutions and elements (tetrahedra and hexahedra), numerical damping, and the efficacy of differentiability for parameter calibration using a simulator based on the fast Differentiable Projective Dynamics (DiffPD). We also advance FEM modeling in application to soft robotics by proposing a predictive model for pneumatic soft robotic actuation. Through our recipes and case studies, we provide strategies and algorithms for matching real-world physics in simulation, making FEM useful for soft robots

description: We propose a two-dimensional geometrical model, based on the concept of geometrical frustration, conceived for the study of compaction in granular media. The dynamics exhibits an interesting inverse logarithmic law that is well known from real experiments. Moreover we present a simple dynamical model of $N$ planes exchanging particles with excluded volume problems, which allows to clarify the origin of the logarithmic relaxations and the stationary density distribution. A simple mapping allows us to cast this Tetris-like model in the form of an Ising-like spin systems with vacancies.

description: We consider a classically chaotic system that is described by a Hamiltonian H(Q,P;x), where (Q,P) describes a particle moving inside a cavity, and x controls a deformation of the boundary. The quantum-eigenstates of the system are |n(x)>. We describe how the parametric kernel P(n|m) = , also known as the local density of states, evolves as a function of x-x0. We illuminate the non-unitary nature of this parametric evolution, the emergence of non-perturbative features, the final non-universal saturation, and the limitations of random-wave considerations. The parametric evolution is demonstrated numerically for two distinct representative deformation processes.

description: We show that in a generic scalar-tensor theory of gravity, the ``referenced'' quasilocal mass of a spatially bounded region in a classical solution is invariant under conformal transformations of the spacetime metric. We first extend the Brown-York quasilocal formalism to such theories to obtain the ``unreferenced'' quasilocal mass and prove it to be conformally invariant. The appropriate reference term in this case is defined by generalizing the Hawking-Horowitz prescription, which was originally proposed for general relativity. For such a choice of reference term, the referenced quasilocal mass for a general spacetime solution is obtained. This expression is shown to be a conformal invariant provided the conformal factor is a monotonic function of the scalar field. We apply this expression to the case of static spherically symmetric solutions with arbitrary asymptotics to obtain the referenced quasilocal mass of such solutions. Finally, we demonstrate the conformal invariance of our quasilocal mass formula by applying it to specific cases of four-dimensional charged black hole spacetimes, of both the asymptotically flat and non-flat kinds, in conformally related theories.

A single chain is described by a quantum Sine-Gordon model and dynamical staggered susceptibilities are determined by employing the formfactor approach to quantum correlation functions. We consider both antiferromagnetic order encountered in quasi-1D materials like $KCuF_3$ and spin-Peierls order as found in $CuGeO_3$.

description: With this research, we are increasing our understanding of how climate change factors may alter the vulnerability to deterioration of those assets. The project has looked at deterioration processes for 47 different FCERM asset types. Qualitative assessments for each asset type have been developed in the context of specific climate change factors and provide a core building block in assessing the potential vulnerability of those assets from climate change. These identify the key elements and deterioration processes likely to be affected by climate change and the factors that create that change in vulnerability.

description: The temperature dependence of the volume and surface components of the nuclear symmetry energy (NSE) and their ratio is investigated in the framework of the local density approximation (LDA). The results of these quantities for finite nuclei are obtained within the coherent density fluctuation model (CDFM). The CDFM weight function is obtained using the temperature-dependent proton and neutron densities calculated through the HFBTHO code that solves the nuclear Skyrme-Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov problem by using the cylindrical transformed deformed harmonic-oscillator basis. We present and discuss the values of the volume and surface contributions to the NSE and their ratio obtained for the Ni, Sn, and Pb isotopic chains around double-magic $^{78}$Ni, $^{132}$Sn, and $^{208}$Pb nuclei. The results for the $T$-dependence of the considered quantities are compared with estimations made previously for zero temperature showing the behavior of the NSE components and their ratio, as well as with the available experimental data. The sensitivity of the results on various forms of the density dependence of the symmetry energy is studied. We confirm the existence of `kinks' of these quantities as functions of the mass number at $T=0$ MeV for the double closed-shell nuclei $^{78}$Ni and $^{132}$Sn and the lack of `kinks' for the Pb isotopes, as well as the disappearance of these kinks as the temperature increases.

Hearing Diverse Voices in Well-Being Research: A Call for Qualitative Methodologies
Creators: name: Buckwald, Laura
Publisher: name: Journal of Mason Graduate Research
Year: 2019

description: Research in the field of human well-being currently relies heavily on quantitative methodologies. In comparison, research on resilience has made considerable use of mixed methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative, which has resulted in the complexities and nuances of resilience are better understood. Drawing from this example, I argue that greater use of qualitative methodologies would provide a richer understanding of well-being and the causes of human flourishing. Pilot research using qualitative methodologies provides support for this argument and reveals several aspects of adult well-being which have not been well explored. Additional use of qualitative methods would likely provide a deeper understanding of the context in which well-being factors operate in people's lives. In addition, there is a lack of diversity in the cadre of well-being researchers and research participant pools, leaving segments of the population underserved. As well-being research is increasingly being used by leaders in the business and policy making arenas, several recommendations are made to improve the understanding of the complexities and nuances of well-being and to increase the utility of this research in order to promote public policies of greater benefit to our society and the world.

description: This paper examines whether adoption of precision technologies, farm and farmer characteristics influence perceived improvements in cotton quality. Using data from cotton producers in twelve U.S. Southeastern states and discrete choice models, we find that the use of soil sampling, maps, participating in agricultural easement programs, farm size, university publications, and expected profitability of precision agriculture are positively associated with the probability that farmers experienced improved cotton quality. This implies that farmers should also consider the potential cotton quality benefits from these technologies, in addition to potential yield and environmental improvements, when deciding whether or not to adopt precision technologies.
Estimates of the Quantum Fisher Information in the $S=1$ Anti-Ferromagnetic Heisenberg Spin Chain with Uniaxial Anisotropy

description: The quantum Fisher information is of considerable interest not only for quantum metrology but also because it is a useful entanglement measure for finite temperature mixed states. In particular, it estimates the degree to which multipartite entanglement is present. Recent results have related the quantum Fisher information to experimentally measurable probes. While in principle possible, a direct evaluation of the quantum Fisher information at finite temperatures is technically challenging and here we show that a simple estimate can be obtained for materials where the single mode approximation is valid. We focus on the $S=1$ anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg model with uniaxial anisotropy. Quantum Monte Carlo thechniques are used to determine low temperature correlations from which the quantum Fisher information can be estimated within the single mode approximation. The quantum Fisher information is compared to the quantum variance for the staggered magnetization operators in the transverse direction and inequalities between the quantum Fisher information, the quantum variance and the full variance are discussed. Both the quantum and full variance as well as the quantum Fisher information are examined at finite temperatures above the isotropic point and at the quantum critical point for the Haldane-Néel transtion. A finite size scaling study of the quantum Fisher information is performed at the quantum critical point and used to confirm the Ising nature of the Haldane-Néel transition.

description: The expression rhythms of clock genes, such as Per1, Per2, Bmal1, and Rev-erb α, in mouse peripheral clocks, are entrained by a scheduled feeding paradigm. In terms of food composition, a carbohydrate-containing diet is reported to cause strong entrainment through insulin secretion. However, it is unknown whether human diets entrain peripheral circadian clocks. In this study, we used freeze-dried diets for type 2 diabetes (DB) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), as well as low-carbohydrate diets. After 24 h of fasting, PER2::LUC knock-in mice were given access to food for 2 days during inactive periods, and bioluminescence rhythm was then measured using an in vivo imaging system. AIN-93M, the control mouse diet with a protein:fat:carbohydrate (PFC) ratio of 14.7:9.5:75.8, caused a significant phase advance (7.3 h) in the liver clock compared with that in 24 h fasted mice, whereas human diets caused significant but smaller phase advances (4.7–6.2 h). Compared with healthy and high fat/sucrose-induced DB mice, adenine-induced CKD mice showed attenuation of a phase-advance with a normal diet. There were no significant differences in phase-advance values between human diets (normal, DB, and CKD). In addition, a normal-carbohydrate diet (PFC ratio of 20.3:23.3:56.4) and a low-carbohydrate diet (PFC ratio of 36.4:42.9:20.7) caused similar phase advances in peripheral clocks. The present results strongly suggest that scheduled feeding with human diets can cause phase advances in the peripheral clocks of not only healthy, but also DB and CKD mice. This discovery provides support to the food-induced entrainment of peripheral clocks in human clinical trials.

description: A scan of the superconductor -- nonsuperconductor transformation in single crystals YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x} (x about 0.37) was done in two alternative ways, namely, by applying the magnetic field and by reducing the hole concentration through the oxygen rearrangement. The in-plane normal-state resistivity ρ_{ab} obtained in both cases was quite similar; its temperature dependence can be fitted by logarithmic law in the temperature range of almost two decades. However, a different representation of the σ_{ab}=1/ρ_{ab} by a power law typical for a 3D-material near a metal -- insulator transition is also plausible. The vertical conductivity σ_c=1/ρ_c followed the power law and neither σ_c(T), nor ρ_c(T) could be fitted by log(T). It follows from the ρ_c measurements that the transformation at T=0 is split into two transitions: superconductor -- normal-metal and normal-metal -- insulator. In our samples, they are distanced in the oxygen content by Δx\approx0.025.

Analytic continuation of the generalized hypergeometric series near unit argument with emphasis on the zero-balanced series

description: Various methods to obtain the analytic continuation near $z=1$ of the hypergeometric series $_{p+1}F_p(z)$ are reviewed together with some of the results. One approach is to establish a recurrence relation with respect to $p$ and then, after its repeated use, to resort to the well-known properties of the Gaussian hypergeometric series. Another approach is based on the properties of the underlying generalized hypergeometric differential equation: For the coefficients in the power series expansion around $z=1$ a general formula, valid for any $p$, is found in terms of a limit of a terminating Saalschützian hypergeometric series of unit argument. Final results may then be obtained for each particular $p$ after application of an appropriate transformation formula of the Saalschützian hypergeometric series. The behaviour at unit argument of zero-balanced hypergeometric series, which have received particular attention in recent years, is discussed in more detail. The related problem involving the behaviour of partial sums of such series is addressed briefly.

Comparison of two models of tethered motion

description: We consider a random walker whose motion is tethered around a focal point. We use two models that exhibit the same spatial dependence in the steady state but widely different dynamics. In one case, the walker is subject to a deterministic bias towards the focal point, while in the other case, it resets its position to the focal point at random times. The deterministic tendency of the biased walker makes the forays away from the focal point more unlikely when compared to the random nature of the returns of the resetting walker. This difference has consequences on the spatio-temporal dynamics at intermediate times. To show the differences in the two models, we analyze their probability distribution and their dynamics in presence and absence of partially or fully absorbing traps. We derive analytically various quantities: (i) mean first-passage times to one target, where we recover results obtained earlier by a different technique, (ii) splitting probabilities to either of two targets as well as survival probabilities when one or either target is partially absorbing. The interplay between confinement, diffusion and absorbing traps produces interesting non-monotonic effects in various quantities, all potentially accessible in experiments. The formalism developed here may have a diverse range of applications, from study of animals roaming within home ranges and of electronic excitations moving in organic crystals to developing efficient search algorithms for locating targets in a crowded environment.

Where the Guns Are Aimed on Election Day

description: Scholars have long debated whether militant or terrorist groups reduce or end armed violence upon entering elections. This paper pivots the debate toward whether groups change the character of violence upon entering elections; specifically, whether groups reduce indiscriminate violence. Using a typology of possible relationships between political parties and militant groups, I hypothesize that those groups with more direct and public ties with political parties will have lower civilian casualty rates. I test the hypothesis by studying the Republican and Loyalist armed groups active during the Troubles of Northern Ireland. While the quantitative data partially supports the hypothesis, qualitative findings lend new insight into the complex relationship between political parties and militant groups.

description: The mathematically correct approach to constructing quantum geometrodynamics of a closed universe formulated in Part I is realized on the cosmological Bianchi-IX model with scalar fields. The physical adequacy of the obtained gauge-noninvariant theory to existing concepts about possible cosmological scenarios is shown. It is demonstrated that the Wheeler-DeWitt quantum geometrodynamics based on general quantum theoretical principles with probability interpretation of a closed universe wave function does not exist. The problem of the creation of the Universe is considered as a computational problem of a quantum reduction of the singular state "Nothing" to one of possible initial physical quantum states.

A New Generation of Cool White Dwarf Atmosphere Models. III. WD J2356$-$209: Accretion of a Planetesimal with an Unusual Composition

description: WD J2356$-$209 is a cool metal-polluted white dwarf whose visible spectrum is dominated by a strong and broad sodium feature. Although discovered nearly two decades ago, no detailed and realistic analysis of this star had yet been realized. In the absence of atmosphere models taking into account the nonideal high-density effects arising at the photosphere of WD J2356$-$209, the origin of its unique spectrum had remained nebulous. We use the cool white dwarf atmosphere code presented in the first paper of this series to finally reveal the secrets of this peculiar object and details about the planetesimal that polluted its atmosphere. Thanks to the improved input physics of our models, we find a solution that is in excellent agreement with the photometric observations and the visible spectrum. Our solution reveals that the photosphere of WD J2356$-$209 has a number density ratio of $\log\,{\rm Na/Ca}= 1.0 \pm 0.2$, which is the highest ever found in a white dwarf. Since we do not know how long ago the accretion episode stopped (if it has), we cannot precisely determine the composition nor the mass of the accreted planetesimal. Nevertheless, all scenarios considered indicate that its composition is incompatible with that of chondrite-like material and that its mass was at least $10^{21}\,{\rm g}$.

description: The effect of low energy excitation on the dynamics of Josephson phase in SNS junction is investigated. From the microscopic Hamiltonian, the effective action for the phase variable is derived. The retardation effects due to low energy excitation in normal(N) region are seen to play important roles in the dynamics of the phase. By the self consistent harmonic approximation, renormalization of mass and dissipation constant are calculated, revealing the enhancement of the former and the suppression of the latter in general. Various situation appears depending on these renormalized values.

description: We present a new set of 3.5 Post-Newtonian equations in which Newtonian hydrodynamics is coupled to the nonconservative effects of gravitational radiation emission. Our formalism differs in two significant ways from a similar 3.5 Post-Newtonian approach proposed by Blanchet (1993, 1997). Firstly we concentrate only on the radiation-reaction effects produced by a time-varying mass-current quadrupole $S_{ij}$. Secondly, we adopt a gauge in which the radiation-reaction force densities depend on the fourth time derivative of $S_{ij}$, rather than on the fifth, as in Blanchet's approach. This difference makes our formalism particularly well-suited to numerical implementation and could prove useful in performing fully numerical simulations of the recently discovered $r$-mode instability for rotating neutron stars subject to axial perturbations.

description: We present the most general sum rules reflecting the cancellation of ultraviolet divergences in the Higgs potential in weakly-coupled, natural extensions of the Standard Model. There is a separate sum rule for the cancellation of the quadratic and logarithmic divergences, and their forms depend on whether the divergences are canceled by same-spin or opposite-spin partners. These sum rules can be applied to mass eigenstates and conveniently used for direct collider tests of naturalness. We study in detail the feasibility of testing these sum rules in the top sector at a future $100\TeV$ proton collider within two benchmark models, the Little Higgs (LH) and the Maximally Symmetric Composite Higgs (MSCH). We show how the two ingredients of the sum rules, the top partner masses and their Yukawa couplings to the Higgs, can be measured with sufficient accuracy to provide a highly non-trivial quantitative test of the sum rules. In particular, we study observables sensitive to the sign of the top partner Yukawa, which is crucial for verifying the sum rules but is notoriously difficult to measure. We demonstrate that in the benchmark models under study, a statistically significant discrimination between the two possible signs of each Yukawa will be feasible with a 30 ab$^{-1}$ data set at $100\TeV$.

description: Deligne has conjectured that certain mixed Hodge theoretic invariants of complex algebraic invariants are motivic. This conjecture specializes to an algebraic construction of the Jacobian for smooth projective curves, which was done by A. Weil. The conjecture (and one-motives) are motivated by means of Jacobians, generalized Jacobians of Rosenlicht, and Serre's generalized Albanese varieties. We discuss the connections with the Hodge and the generalized Hodge conjecture. We end with some applications to number theory by providing partial answers to questions of Serre, Katz and Jannsen.

An Artificial Intelligence Tool to Detect and Classify Skin Cancer

Publisher: name: Manara - Qatar Research Repository

Subjects: classificationCode: 40
subject: Engineering

description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being used to facilitate and automate traditional processes in different fields, including healthcare. Specifically, AI can be used to improve medical imaging and the diagnosis of skin-related diseases. In this work, we implement an AI-based solution to improve the current skin cancer diagnostic methods, including screening, self-examination, and microspectroscopy. These methods are costly, time-consuming, and depend on the availability of a professional physician. We conduct a scoping review to identify existing works on the used AI tools to diagnose skin cancer and we review 28 relevant attempts. However, there are still some issues with these techniques, such as accuracy, reliability, usability, and privacy. To overcome these issues, we build a deep learning model using the fast.ai Python library. The model is trained and tested on the ISIC dataset, which is anonymized and contains 11,720 dermoscopic images from seven different types of skin lesions. The model is then transferred into an iOS application that can be installed on any device with Apple’s A12 Bionic processor. Our tool overcomes issues in existing solutions as patients can securely take or import pictures of skin lesions using their iOS devices anywhere to get accurate diagnoses instantly. The tool is also affordable, compact, easy to use, quick, and provides diagnoses with relatively high performance. It outperforms the accuracy of existing works by 5 - 10% with a score of 95%. Existing works rely on one or two performance metrics to evaluate their models. However, to capture different aspects and to further ensure the reliability of our model, we include ten statistical measures with a grand mean score of 90%.
