description: The kinetic Glauber-Ising spin chain is one of the very few exactly solvable models of non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Nevertheless, existing solutions do not yield tractable expressions for two-time correlation and response functions of observables involving products of more than one or two spins. We use a new approach to solve explicitly the full hierarchy of differential equations for the correlation and response functions. From this general solution follow closed expressions for arbitrary multispin two-time correlation and response functions, for the case where the system is quenched from equilibrium at T_i > 0 to some arbitrary T >= 0. By way of application, we give the results for two and four-spin two-time correlation and response functions. From the standard mapping, these also imply new exact results for two-time particle correlation and response functions in one-dimensional diffusion limited annihilation.

description: In the analysis of empirical signals, detecting correlations that capture genuine interactions between the elements of a complex system is a challenging task with applications across disciplines. Here we analyze a global data set of surface air temperature (SAT) with daily resolution. Hilbert analysis is used to obtain phase, instantaneous frequency and amplitude information of SAT seasonal cycles in different geographical zones. The analysis of the phase dynamics reveals large regions with coherent seasonality. The analysis of the instantaneous frequencies uncovers clean wave patterns formed by alternating regions of negative and positive correlations. In contrast, the analysis of the amplitude dynamics uncovers wave patterns with additional large-scale structures. These structures are interpreted as due to the fact that the amplitude dynamics is affected by processes that act in long and short time scales, while the dynamics of the instantaneous frequency is mainly governed by fast processes. Therefore, Hilbert analysis allows to disentangle climatic processes and to track planetary atmospheric waves. Our results are relevant for the analysis of complex oscillatory signals because they offer a general strategy for uncovering interactions that act at different time scales.

description: The flexibility claimed by the next generation production systems induces a deep modification of the behaviour and the core itself of the control systems. Over-connectivity and data management abilities targeted by Industry 4.0 paradigm enable the emergence of more flexible and reactive control systems, based on the cooperation of autonomous and connected entities in the decision-making process. From most relevant articles extracted from existing literature, a list of 10 key enablers for Industry 4.0 is first presented. During the last 20 years, the holonic paradigm has become a major paradigm of Intelligent Manufacturing Systems. After the presentation of the holonic paradigm and holon properties, this article highlights how historical and current holonic control architectures can partly fulfil I4.0 key enablers. The remaining unfulfilled key enablers are then the subject of an extensive discussion on the remaining research perspectives on holonic architectures needed to achieve a complete support of Industry4.0.

description: Impaired mitochondrial translation or reduced mitochondrial protein import can lead to imbalances in mitochondrial protein composition. Such mitochondrial proteotoxic stresses can trigger a nuclear transcriptional response commonly described as the mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt). Despite extensive studies of UPRmt pathways in animal and fungal systems, very little is known about how the UPRmt is regulated in plants. Through comparison of Arabidopsis thaliana whole-genome transcriptome data, it was found that most genes induced by mitochondrial ribosome inhibitor doxycycline are also induced by Complex III inhibitor antimycin A. We demonstrate that transcriptional responses to a wide range of mitochondrial proteotoxic stress-triggers are regulated by the transcription factor ANAC017, which was shown to reside in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). By contrast, no consistent evidence was found for genes that are specifically induced by doxycycline but not antimycin A. Furthermore, ANAC017 gain- and loss-of-function mutants showed marked resistance or susceptibility, respectively, to mitochondrial stress-inducing treatments, demonstrating the physiological importance of ANAC017 during mitochondrial proteotoxic stress. Finally, it was shown that ethylene signalling promotes mitochondria-to-nucleus signalling, most likely independently of ANAC017. Overall, this study shows that in plants, the UPRmt is largely overlapping with, and perhaps identical to, ‘classical’ mitochondrial retrograde signalling, and is mediated by ER-anchored transcription factor ANAC017.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Retrograde signalling from endosymbiotic organelles’.

description: Helium atoms and hydrogen molecules can be strongly bound inside interstitial channels within bundles of carbon nanotubes. An exploration of the low energy and low temperature properties of He-3 atoms is presented here. Recent study of the analogous He-4 system has shown that the effect of heterogeneity is to yield a density of states N(E) that is qualitatively different from the one-dimensional (1D) form of N(E) that would occur for an ideal set of identical channels. In particular, the functional form of N(E) is that of a 4D gas near the very lowest energies and a 2D gas at somewhat higher energies. Similar behavior is found here for He-3. The resulting thermodynamic behavior of this fermi system is computed, yielding an anomalous form of the heat capacity and its dependence on coverage.

description: Let $n$ be a maximal nilpotent subalgebra of a complex symmetric Kac-Moody Lie algebra. Lusztig has introduced a basis of U(n) called the semicanonical basis, whose elements can be seen as certain constructible functions on varieties of nilpotent modules over a preprojective algebra of the same type as $n$. We prove a formula for the product of two elements of the dual of this semicanonical basis, and more generally for the product of two evaluation forms associated to arbitrary modules over the preprojective algebra. This formula plays an important role in our work on the relationship between semicanonical bases, representation theory of preprojective algebras, and Fomin and Zelevinsky's theory of cluster algebras. It was inspired by recent results of Caldero and Keller.

CAMILLE PISSARRO BETWEEN IMPRESSIONISM AND REALISM: THE TEMPORALITIES OF WORK AND REST
Creators: name: Haines, Leah

Year: 2023

description: Camille Pissarro has long been associated with the Impressionist movement. However, while his paintings of the 1870s and early 1880s employed the “sketchy” brushwork that typified Impressionism, he by and large did not choose to represent subjects drawn from modern, urban life, as did his Impressionist peers. Instead, while living in the small town of Pontoise, Pissarro repeatedly depicted rural agricultural laborers, an un-modern, or even anti-modern subject. These images of peasants typify the Realist school of painting, which originated around mid-century but continued to depict rural subjects through the 1870s and 80 and thus coexisted with Impressionism. As Marnin Young has shown, Realist painters of this later generation often chose motifs that exemplified the “slow time” associated with life in the countryside. I argue that Pissarro’s paintings of agricultural workers combine Impressionist instantaneity and ephemerality with Realist subjects that connote the “slow time” of rural France. In so doing, I complicate our understanding of Pissarro’s relationship to the Impressionist movement.

description: Elevated blood pressure (BP) in childhood has been associated with increased adulthood BP. However, BP and its change from childhood to adulthood and the risk of exaggerated adulthood exercise BP response are largely unknown. Therefore, we studied the association of childhood and adulthood BP with adulthood exercise BP response. This investigation consisted of 406 individuals participating in the ongoing Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study (baseline in 1980, at age of 6–18 years; follow-up in adulthood in 27–29 years since baseline). In childhood BP was classified as elevated according to the tables from the International Child Blood Pressure References Establishment Consortium, while in adulthood BP was considered elevated if systolic BP was ≥120 mmHg or diastolic BP was ≥80 mmHg or if use of antihypertensive medications was self-reported. A maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test with BP measurements was performed by participants in 2008–2009, and exercise BP was considered exaggerated (EEBP) if peak systolic blood pressure exceeded 210 mmHg in men and 190 mmHg in women. Participants with consistently high BP from childhood to adulthood and individuals with normal childhood but high adulthood BP had an increased risk of EEBP response in adulthood (relative risk [95% confidence interval], 3.32 [2.05–5.40] and 3.03 [1.77–5.17], respectively) in comparison with individuals with normal BP both in childhood and adulthood. Interestingly, individuals with elevated BP in childhood but not in adulthood also had an increased risk of EEBP [relative risk [95% confidence interval], 2.17 [1.35–3.50]). These findings reinforce the importance of achieving and sustaining normal blood pressure from childhood through adulthood.

description: We report complex impedance measurements in an untwinned YBaCuO crystal. Our broad frequency range covers both the quasi static response and the resistive response of the vortex lattice. It allow us to characterize the irreversibility line without the need of any frequency dependent pinning parameters. We confirm the validity of the two modes model of vortex dynamic, and extract both the surface critical current and the flux flow resistivity around the first order transition $T_{m}$. This latter is identified by the abrupt loss of pinning and by an unexpected step of $ρ_{ff}(T)$ at $T_{m}$.

description: Although there is much research on sleep and emotion, few studies have examined the role of sleep as a potentially important context for stress recovery from one day to the next. Such daily processes might also be particularly important to adolescents, an age-group notorious for its lack of sufficient sleep. Eighty-nine adolescents recorded their emotions and stress for two-weeks through daily surveys. Sleep was monitored with Fitbit devices. Results show that objectively measured sleep (total sleep time, latency to sleep onset, and accumulated sleep debt) moderated affective responses to previous-day stress, suggesting that sleep quantity could have an impact on overnight stress recovery. Moreover, we found that sleep variables not only moderated cross-day negative affect spillover effects but cross-day positive affect bounce-back effects. Specifically, with more sleep, adolescents’ morning positive affect on days following high stress tended to “bounce-back” to the levels that were common following low stress days. Sleep seemed to help them recover from the emotional effects of the stressor. In contrast, if sleep was short following high stress days, adolescent positive affect remained low on the following morning. We did not find evidence that subjective sleep quality moderated spillover/ bounce-back effects. This research highlighted the importance of considering sleep and stress as daily processes to fully understand both daily contextual factors of stress recovery and the dynamic cross-day relationships between stress, sleep, and affect.

description: We implement the dynamical Ising model on the large scale architecture of white matter connections of healthy subjects in the age range 4-85 years, and analyze the dynamics in terms of the synergy, a quantity measuring the extent to which the joint state of pairs of variables is projected onto the dynamics of a target one. We find that the amount of synergy in explaining the dynamics of the hubs of the structural connectivity (in terms of degree strength) peaks before the critical temperature, and can thus be considered as a precursor of a critical transition. Conversely the greatest amount of synergy goes into explaining the dynamics of more central nodes. We also find that the aging of the structural connectivity is associated to significant changes in the simulated dynamics: there are brain regions whose synergy decreases with age, in particular the frontal pole, the Subcallosal area and the Supplementary Motor area; these areas could then be more likely to show a decline in terms of the capability to perform higher order computation (if structural connectivity was the sole variable). On the other hand, several regions in the temporal cortex show a positive correlation with age in the first 30 years of life, i.e. during brain maturation.

description: The problem of quantum criticality in the context of itinerant ferro- or metamagnetism has received considerable attention [S. A. Grigera et. al., Science 294, 329 (2001); C. Pfleiderer et. al., Nature, 414, 427 (2001)]. It has been proposed that a new kind of quantum criticality is realised in materials such as MnSi or Sr_3Ru_2O_7. We show based on a mean-field theory that the low-temperature behaviour of the n-layer ruthenates Sr_{n+1}Ru_nO_{3n+1} can be understood as a result of a Van Hove singularity (VHS). We consider a single band whose Fermi energy, E_F, is close to the VHS and deduce a complex phase diagram for the magnetism as a function of temperature, magnetic field and E_F. The location of E_F with respect to the VHS depends on the number of layers or can be tuned by pressure. We find that the ferromagnetic quantum phase transition in this case is not of second but of first order, with a metamagnetic quantum critical endpoint at high magnetic field. Despite its simplicity this model describes well the properties of the uniform magnetism in the single, double and triple layer ruthenates. We would like to emphasise that the origin of this behaviour lies in the band structure.

description: In this chapter, I review the main methods and techniques of complex systems science. As a first step, I distinguish among the broad patterns which recur across complex systems, the topics complex systems science commonly studies, the tools employed, and the foundational science of complex systems. The focus of this chapter is overwhelmingly on the third heading, that of tools. These in turn divide, roughly, into tools for analyzing data, tools for constructing and evaluating models, and tools for measuring complexity. I discuss the principles of statistical learning and model selection; time series analysis; cellular automata; agent-based models; the evaluation of complex-systems models; information theory; and ways of measuring complexity. Throughout, I give only rough outlines of techniques, so that readers, confronted with new problems, will have a sense of which ones might be suitable, and which ones definitely are not.

description: We report on the first X-ray observations of the neutron star soft X-ray transient (SXT) XTE J2123-058 in quiescence, made by Chandra and BeppoSAX, as well as contemporaneous optical observations. In 2002, the Chandra spectrum of XTE J2123-058 is consistent with a power-law model, or the combination of a blackbody plus a power-law, but it is not well-described by a pure blackbody. Using the interstellar column density, the power-law fit gives photon index of 3.1 (+0.7,-0.6) and indicates a 0.3-8 keV unabsorbed luminosity of 9(+4,-3)E31 (d/8.5 kpc)^2 ergs/s (90% confidence errors). Fits with models consisting of thermal plus power-law components indicate that the upper limit on the temperature of a 1.4 solar mass, 10 km radius neutron star with a hydrogen atmosphere is kT_eff < 66 eV, and the upper limit on the bolometric luminosity is L_infinity < 1.4E32 ergs/s, assuming d = 8.5 kpc. Of the neutron star SXTs that exhibit short (< 1 year) outbursts, including Aql X-1, 4U 1608-522, Cen X-4, and SAX J1810.8-2609, the lowest temperatures and luminosities are found for XTE J2123-058 and SAX J1810.8-2609. From the BeppoSAX observation of XTE J2123-058 in 2000, we obtained an upper limit on the 1-10 keV unabsorbed luminosity of 9E32 ergs/s. Although this upper limit allows that the X-ray luminosity may have decreased between 2000 and 2002, that possibility is not supported by our contemporaneous R-band observations, which indicate that the optical flux increased significantly. Motivated by the theory of deep crustal heating by Brown and co-workers, we characterize the outburst histories of the five SXTs. The low quiescent luminosity for XTE J2123-058 is consistent with the theory of deep crustal heating without requiring enhanced neutron star cooling if the outburst recurrence time is >~ 70 years.

Creators: name: Nanovic, Sarah

description: Williams Syndrome (WS) is a rare developmental disorder for which problems with mental health and executive function (EF) are common. Literature on the subject has identified specific problems, such as problems with anxiety and inhibition in individuals with WS. While mental health problems and EF deficits are clear, most research has small samples due to the rarity of WS, so predictors of EF and mental health have not been adequately studied. This study focused on the how the factors of age and cognitive ability affect mental health and executive functioning in a large sample of individuals with WS (N=66). In the domain of mental health, somatic problems, thought problems, and attention problems were relative weaknesses. Individual differences analyses showed that age was related to withdrawn/depressed symptoms and aggression symptoms such that older individuals have more withdrawn/depressed symptoms and fewer aggression symptoms. In the domain of EF, initiation, working memory, planning/organization, and monitoring were relative weaknesses. Individual differences analyses showed that age was related to inhibition and working memory such that older individuals have fewer problems with inhibition and working memory than their younger counterparts. Results also showed that people with WS with lower cognitive ability have more problems in thought problems within mental health and inhibition and monitoring within EF. These results expand the knowledge base regarding the cognitive correlates and developmental trajectory of mental health and EF in WS. This line of work is particularly important for giving guidance and preparing families and caretakers to manage possible future problems.

description: Raised blood pressure, with the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) as a central regulatory component, is one of the most important contributors to early development of left ventricular hypertrophy. Factors such as increased age, sex, black ethnicity and a low socio-economic status also contribute to left ventricular remodelling. To better understand early contributors to left ventricular mass, we investigated the relationship between left ventricular mass index (LVMi) and the components of the RAS in young healthy adults while considering ethnicity, sex and socio-economic status. Black and white women and men (N = 1186) between the ages of 20–30 years were included. By using standard echocardiography, we determined LVMi. Ultra-pressure-liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to measure the RAS-fingerprint®. Components of the RAS such as plasma renin activity (PRA-S), angiotensin I (Ang I), angiotensin II (Ang II) and aldosterone were suppressed in the black compared to the white group (all p β= −0.168; p = 0.017), Ang I (β= −0.155; p = 0.028) and Ang II (β= −0.172; p = 0.015) were found only in low socio-economic black women. Despite a suppressed RAS in the black compared to the white group, components of the RAS were not associated with LVMi in this young cohort. The low socio-economic black women of this study population may be vulnerable to future RAS-related increases in left ventricular mass.

description: Elevated serum uric acid (UA) is frequently observed in adults with high blood pressure (BP); however, data from adolescents are limited. We examined the association between serum UA and BP in a nationally representative sample of Taiwan adolescents. Some 1384 participants, aged 14–19 years, from the Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan 2010–2011 were included for the study. Elevated BP was defined as systolic or diastolic BP ≥120/80 mmHg. The analyses examined the relationship between serum UA and BP using linear regression and odds ratios of having an elevated BP using logistic regression. In this study population, the mean age was 16.0 years, mean serum UA was 5.8 mg/dL, 22.5% were obese (body mass index ≥24 kg/m2) and 9.8% had an elevated BP. Compared to girls, boys are more likely to be obese and to have higher serum UA and BP. After full adjustments, systolic BP, diastolic BP and mean arterial pressure increased 0.45, 0.48 and 0.47 mmHg, respectively, for each 1-mg/dL increase in UA (p = 0.07, 0.03 and 0.02, respectively). The odds of having an elevated BP were 3.4 times higher in subjects of the upper tertile of serum UA than those of the lower tertile (p = 0.02). Adolescents with factors as male, obesity, and UA ≥5.5 mg/dL were prone to have an elevated BP, regardless of age and family history of hypertension. The present study found that serum UA levels are significantly correlated to BP in Taiwanese adolescents.

description: Software is a key element on modern research, to the extent that a big part of it will not be possible - or will be much more difficult - without it. There is a strong interest and many initiatives worldwide to ensure that any piece of software - and data - used in research, contributing to papers or in grant applications, is properly accounted for and receives the corresponding credit, including to their creators and contributors. However, there is a flip side: software often implements algorithms and theory described in research papers and books. Sometimes, this use of existing material is referenced in the documentation or in a paper associated to the software, but the software itself remains largely references-free, and the sources it uses, unaccredited for. In this poster we present the Research References Tracking Tool, R2T2, a small tool written in Python that, still in its early stages, aims to fill this gap.

description: We examine the relevance to the New Partnership of Africa’s Development (NEPAD) of IMF and the World Bank’s economic reform programs on inflation and the uncertainty of inflation in Ghana, Senegal and Uganda. The study period is from 1964-2009. GARCH (1, 1) framework is used to generate a time series of conditional variances of inflation as proxies for the uncertainty of inflation and use the granger causality procedure to establish the direction of the relationship between the two variables. We divide the years covered in this study into three segments, the pre-adjustment, adjustment and post-adjustment periods. The granger causality test results show in all three economies sensitivity of the direction of relationship between inflation and its uncertainty to IMF and World Bank inspired policies. Ghana shows significant evidence of the Friedman-Ball hypothesis in all regimes except the post-adjustment period and Senegal confirm the Cukierman-Meltzer proposition in the pre-adjustment and overall periods. In Uganda, results show bi-directional relationships dominating the links between the two variables. Also, evidence is presented indicating the reduction of both inflation and uncertainty of inflation in the countries during the adjustment period

description: To clarify the clinical significance of development of urinary abnormality in mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). Forty-one patients with an initial diagnosis of MCTD, followed at five hospitals between April 1, 2000 and December 31, 2013, were included. The relationship between urinary abnormality and various clinical parameters were retrospectively analyzed. Urinary abnormality was defined as proteinuria and/or hematuria detected by urinalysis. Development of other connective tissue diseases (CTDs) was defined as satisfaction of the criteria of each respective disease. Of 41 patients (34 females, 7 males, mean age at diagnosis 42.2 ± 15.2 years), 16 developed urinary abnormality (UrA(+) patients). The total incidences of development of other CTDs were higher in the UrA(+) patients than UrA(-) (62.5% versus 16.0%, p = .01). In the comparison between UrA(+) and UrA(-) patients, there were no significant differences in follow-up duration or last determined estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), although eGFR decreased more significantly in the UrA(+) patients than UrA(-). (−20.2 ± 17.2 vs −6.1 ± 13.8 ml/min/1.73m2, p = .01; −21.0 ± 18.9 vs −6.7 ± 14.1%, p = .03) Urinary abnormality during the clinical course in MCTD is predictive of a higher incidence of developing other CTDs. Furthermore, it might also predict long-term renal prognosis in patients with an initial diagnosis of MCTD.

description: In this paper, we analyze different decay observables of semileptonic $ B_c$ decays into $(D_(s,d)^((*)))μ^+ μ^-$ such as branching ratio, forward-backward asymmetry, polarization fraction and lepton polarization asymmetry in the non-universal Z' model. We have also studied the dependence of branching fraction to the new model parameters. Here, we have found that the values of different decay parameters increase in the Z' model, which provides a possible way out for the search of new physics as well as the unknown phenomena of charm B meson.
