description: We demonstrate the interest of combining Finite Element calculations with the Vector Partial Wave formulation (used in T-matrix and Mie theory) in order to characterize the electromagnetic scattering properties of isolated individual scatterers. This method consists of individually feeding the finite element problem with incident Vector Partial Waves in order to numerically determine the T-matrix elements of the scatterer. For a sphere and an ellipsoid, we demonstrate that this method determines the scattering matrix to high accuracy. Recurrence relations for a fast determination of the vector partial waves are given explicitly, and an open-source code allowing the retrieval of the presented numerical results is provided.

description: As the field of single-cell transcriptomics matures, research is shifting focus from phenomenological descriptions of cellular phenotypes to a mechanistic understanding of the gene regulation underneath. This perspective considers the value of capturing dynamical information at single-cell resolution for gaining mechanistic insight; reviews the available technologies for recording and inferring temporal information in single cells; and explores whether better dynamical resolution is sufficient to adequately capture the causal relationships driving complex biological systems. This article is part of a discussion meeting issue 'Causes and consequences of stochastic processes in development and disease'.

description: We consider entanglement extraction into two two-level Unruh-DeWitt detectors from a vacuum of a neutral massless quantum scalar field in a four-dimensional spacetime, where the general monopole coupling to the scalar field is assumed. Based on the reduced density matrix of the two detectors derived within the perturbation theory, we show that the single copy of the entangled pair of the detectors can be utilized in quantum teleportation even when the detectors are separated acausally, while we observe no violation of the Bell-CHSH inequality. In the case of the Minkowski vacuum, in particular, we find that entanglement usable in quantum teleportation is extracted due to the special relativistic effect when the detectors are in a relative inertial motion, while it is not when they are comoving inertially and the switching of the detectors is executed adiabatically at infinite past and future.

description: The development of wavelet theory has in recent years spawned applications in signal processing, in fast algorithms for integral transforms, and in image and function representation methods. This last application has stimulated interest in wavelet applications to statistics and to the analysis of experimental data, with many successes in the efficient analysis, processing, and compression of noisy signals and images. This is a selective review article that attempts to synthesize some recent work on ``nonlinear'' wavelet methods in nonparametric curve estimation and their role on a variety of applications. After a short introduction to wavelet theory, we discuss in detail several wavelet shrinkage and wavelet thresholding estimators, scattered in the literature and developed, under more or less standard settings, for density estimation from i.i.d. observations or to denoise data modeled as observations of a signal with additive noise. Most of these methods are fitted into the general concept of regularization with appropriately chosen penalty functions. A narrow range of applications in major areas of statistics is also discussed such as partial linear regression models and functional index models. The usefulness of all these methods are illustrated by means of simulations and practical examples.

description: The description of quantum transport in a quadruple quantum-dot structure (QQD) is proposed taking into account the Coulomb correlations and nonzero bias voltages. To achieve this goal the combination of nonequilibrium Green's functions and equation-of-motion technique is used. It is shown that the anisotropy of kinetic processes in the QQD leads to negative differential conductance (NDC). The reason of the effect is an interplay of the Fano resonances which are induced by the interdot Coulomb correlations. Different ways to increase the peak-to-valley ratio related to the observed NDC are discussed.

Gravity-Matter Couplings from Liouville Theory

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1992
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The three-point functions for minimal models coupled to gravity are derived in the operator approach to Liouville theory which is based on its $U_q(sl(2))$ quantum group structure. The result is shown to agree with matrix-model calculations on the sphere. The precise definition of the corresponding cosmological constant is given in the operator solution of the quantum Liouville theory. It is shown that the symmetry between quantum-group spins $J$ and $-J-1$ previously put forward by the author is the explanation of the continuation in the number of screening operators discovered by Goulian and Li. Contrary to the previous discussions of this problem, the present approach clearly separates the emission operators for each leg. This clarifies the structure of the dressing by gravity. It is shown, in particular that the end points are not treated on the same footing as the mid point. Since the outcome is completely symmetric this suggests the existence of a picture-changing mechanism in two dimensional gravity.

description: The DAMA/LIBRA collaboration has recently released updated results from their search for the annual modulation signal expected from Dark Matter (DM) scattering in their NaI detectors. We have fitted the updated DAMA result for the modulation amplitudes in terms of a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) signal, parameterizing the interaction with nuclei in terms of the most general effective Lagrangian for a WIMP particle spin up to 1/2, systematically assuming dominance of one of the 14 possible interaction terms, and assuming for the WIMP velocity distribution a standard Maxwellian. We find that most of the couplings of the non-relativistic effective Hamiltonian can provide a better fit compared to the standard Spin Independent interaction case, and with a reduced fine-tuning of the three parameters (WIMP mass, WIMP-nucleon effective cross-section and ratio between the WIMP-neutron and the WIMP-proton couplings). Moreover, effective models for which the cross section depends explicitly on the WIMP incoming velocity can provide a better fit of the DAMA data at large values of $m_χ$ compared to the standard velocity-independent cross-section due to a different phase of the modulation amplitudes. All the best fit solutions are in tension with exclusion plots of both XENON1T and PICO60.

Software Architecture Evolution

Subjects: subject: 80399 Computer Software not elsewhere classified

description: Many software systems eventually undergo changes to their basic architectural structure. Such changes may be prompted by new feature requests, new quality attribute requirements, changing technology, or other reasons. Whatever the causes, architecture evolution is commonplace in real-world software projects. Today’s software architects, however, have few techniques to help them plan such evolution. In particular, they have little assistance in planning alternatives, making trade-offs among these different alternatives, or applying best practices for particular domains. To address this, we have developed an approach for assisting architects in planning and reasoning about software architecture evolution. Our approach is based on modeling and analyzing potential evolution paths that represent different ways of evolving the system. We represent an evolution path as a sequence of transitional architectural states leading from the initial architecture to the target architecture, along with evolution operators that characterize the transitions among these states. We support analysis of evolution paths through the definition and application of constraints that express rules governing the evolution of the systemand evaluation functions that assess path quality. Finally, a set of these modeling elements may be grouped together into an evolution style that encapsulates a body of knowledge relevant to a particular domain of architecture evolution. We evaluate this approach in three ways. First, we evaluate its applicability to real-world architecture evolution projects. This is accomplished through case studies of two very different software organizations. Second, we undertake a formal evaluation of the computational complexity of verifying evolution constraints. Finally, we evaluate the implementability of the approach based on our experiences developing prototype tools for software architecture evolution.

description: Suppose a heavy neutral Higgs or scalar boson $H$ is discovered at the LHC, it is important to investigate its couplings to the standard model particles as much as possible. Here in this work we attempt to probe the CP-even and CP-odd couplings of the heavy Higgs boson to a pair of top quarks, through the decay $H \to t\bar t \to b W^+ \bar b W^-$. We use the helicity-amplitude method to write down the most general form for the angular distributions of the final-state $b$ quarks and $W$ bosons. We figure out that there are 6 types of angular observables and, under CP$\widetilde{\rm T}$ conservation, one-dimensional angular distributions can only reveal two of them. Nevertheless, the $H$ couplings to the $t\bar t$ pair can be fully determined by exploiting the one-dimensional angular distributions. A Higgs-boson mass of 380 GeV not too far above the $t\bar t$ threshold is illustrated with full details. With a total of $10^4$ events of $H \to t\bar t \to bW^+ \bar b W^+$, one can determine the couplings up to 10-20 % uncertainties.

Being There: Exploring the Role of 'Presence' in Designing Engaging Product/System Experiences
Creators: name: Cheung, Bryan
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Design

description: Contrary to the perception of connecting people and enhancing and extending the human experience, technology has made us more disconnected from each other and disoriented in our activities. The focus on building technical functionality, coupled with a lack of consideration for different user contexts and circumstances, has affected technology-mediated experiences through incoherent and inappropriate human-product interactions. The cohesiveness of function, context and action allows for a ‘present’ experience in which users are engaged on a cognitive, physical and psychological level. When there is a lack of cohesion, focus and clarity on the activity is replaced by continued attention on the enabling technology. This loss of ‘presence’ results in inefficient, disjointed and disengaging experiences. The objectives of this thesis are to 1) describe the loss of ‘presence’ in human-product interactions; 2) explore sources of knowledge relating to ‘presence’ and its applicability to interaction design; 3) present a framework for approaching design for ‘presence’ based on movement; and 4) apply this framework in a design exemplar

description: Modeling the propagation of radiative heat-waves in optically thick material using a diffusive approximation is a well-known problem. In optically thin material, classic methods, such as classic diffusion or classic $P_1$, yield the wrong heat wave propagation behavior, and higher order approximation might be required, making the solution harder to obtain. The asymptotic $P_1$ approximation [Heizler, {\em NSE} 166, 17 (2010)] yields the correct particle velocity but fails to model the correct behavior in highly anisotropic media, such as problems that involve sharp boundary between media or strong sources. However, the solution for the two-region Milne problem of two adjacent half-spaces divided by a sharp boundary, yields a discontinuity in the asymptotic solutions, that makes it possible to solve steady-state problems, especially in neutronics. In this work we expand the time-dependent asymptotic $P_1$ approximation to a highly anisotropic media, using the discontinuity jump conditions of the energy density, yielding a modified discontinuous $P_1$ equations in general geometry. We introduce numerical solutions for two fundamental benchmarks in plane symmetry. The results thus obtained are more accurate than those attained by other methods, such as Flux-Limiters or Variable Eddington Factor.

description: Chang et al. (2006) reported millisecond duration dips in the X-ray intensity of Sco X-1 and attributed them to occultations of the source by small trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). We have found multiple lines of evidence that these dips are not astronomical in origin, but rather the result of high-energy charged particle events in the RXTE PCA detectors. Our analysis of the RXTE data indicates that at most 10% of the observed dips in Sco X-1 could be due to occultations by TNOs, and, furthermore, we find no positive or supporting evidence for any of them being due to TNOs. We therefore believe that it is a mistake to conclude that any TNOs have been detected via occultation of Sco X-1.

description: The extension of strongly anisotropic or dynamical scaling to local scale invariance is investigated. For the special case of an anisotropy or dynamical exponent $θ=z=2$, the group of local scale transformation considered is the Schrödinger group, which can be obtained as the non-relativistic limit of the conformal group. The requirement of Schrödinger invariance determines the two-point function in the bulk and reduces the three-point function to a scaling form of a single variable. Scaling forms are also derived for the two-point function close to a free surface which can be either space-like or time-like. These results are reproduced in several exactly solvable statistical systems, namely the kinetic Ising model with Glauber dynamics, lattice diffusion, Lifshitz points in the spherical model and critical dynamics of the spherical model with a non-conserved order parameter. For generic values of $θ$, evidence from higher order Lifshitz points in the spherical model and from directed percolation suggests a simple scaling form of the two-point function.

description: We demonstrate for the first time the strong temporal hysteresis effects in the kinetics of the pumped and scattered polariton populations in a planar semiconductor microcavity under a nano-second-long pulsed resonant (by frequency and angle) excitation above the lower polariton branch. The hysteresis effects are explained in the model of multi-mode scattering when the bistability of the nonlinear pumped polariton is accompanied by the explosive growth of the scattered polaritons population. Subsequent self-organization process in the nonlinear polariton system results in a new -- dynamically self-organized -- type of optical parametric oscillator.

Atlas: Practical Computational Literacy for Designers

Subjects: Design

description: Abstract. “Atlas: Practical Computational Literacy for Designers” is a masters thesis exploring the relationship between design learners and code. In this document, models of learning and motivation serve as a launch point for discussing goals and fears of designers as they relate to code and programming. Using models and interviews with design learners, design professionals, computer scientists, and developers, this document isolates three critical choke points for many design learners relating to code: lack of immediacy and feedback, lack of orientation, and a priori fear of failure. It goes on to explain how how only one of these, lack of immediacy, can be fully compensated for within code-learning contexts, and suggests that the other two originate in contradictions in design learners attitudes about code’s evolving relationship to design practice. The document concludes by introducing Atlas, a system to help designers model real-world computational systems, and better articulate their goals and interests relating to these systems.

description: The MSSM distinguishes itself from other GUT's by a successful prediction of many unrelated phenomena with a minimum number of parameters. Among them: a) Unification of the couplings constants; b)Unification of the masses; c) Proton decay; d) Electroweak symmetry breaking. A combined fit of the free parameters in the MSSM to these low energy constraints shows that the MSSM model can satisfy these constraints simultaneously. From the fitted parameters the masses of the as yet unobserved superpartners of the SM particles are predicted. The 2nd order QCD coupling constant is required to be between 0.108 and 0.132. It is shown that a top mass of $174\pm16$ GeV, as suggested recently by the CDF Collaboration, constrains the mixing angle between the Higgs doublets in the MSSM to: $1.2

The latest data released by the United States Department of Education was used. Specifically, 1,429 cohorts of graduates from three years (2001, 2003, and 2005) were included in the data analysis. Three attribute selection methods, including filter methods, forward selection, and Genetic Algorithm, were applied to the attribute selection from 30 relevant attributes. Five groups of machine learning algorithms were applied to the dataset for classification using the best selected attribute subsets. Based on our findings, we discuss the role of neighborhood professional degree attainment, parental income, SAT scores, and family college education in post-graduation incomes and the implications for social stratification.

description: We developed a general non-perturbative framework for the BFKL spectrum of planar N=4 SYM, based on the Quantum Spectral Curve (QSC). It allows one to study the spectrum in the whole generality, extending previously known methods to arbitrary values of conformal spin $n$. We show how to apply our approach to reproduce all known perturbative results for the Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov (BFKL) Pomeron eigenvalue and get new predictions. In particular, we re-derived the Faddeev-Korchemsky Baxter equation for the Lipatov spin chain with non-zero conformal spin reproducing the corresponding BFKL kernel eigenvalue. We also get new non-perturbative analytic results for the Pomeron eigenvalue in the vicinity of $|n|=1,\;Δ=0$ point and we obtained an explicit formula for the BFKL intercept function for arbitrary conformal spin up to the 3-loop order in the small coupling expansion and partial result at the 4-loop order. In addition, we implemented the numerical algorithm of arXiv:1504.06640 as an auxiliary file to this arXiv submission. From the numerical result we managed to deduce an analytic formula for the strong coupling expansion of the intercept function for arbitrary conformal spin.

One of the principles of democracy is to uphold the principle of good governance. This means creating a nation by which the society has an active role in the political process from the election to decisions made that will affect their day to day lives. One of the ways this can be achieved is for every Somali citizen to live in a nation where the Somali government ascertains free, fair and credible elections. The beauty of a democratic society lies within its strict adherence to the rule of law. It is commonly understood that good governance, which is achieved through free and fair elections, is the core of an electoral process

description: The use of multi-particle entangled states has the potential to drastically increase the sensitivity of atom interferometers and atomic clocks. The Twist-and-Turn (TNT) Hamiltonian can create multi-particle entanglement much more rapidly than ubiquitous one-axis twisting (OAT) Hamiltonian in the same spin system. In this paper, we consider the effects of detection noise - a key limitation in current experiments - on the metrological usefulness of these nonclassical states and also consider a variety of interaction-based readouts to maximize their performance. Interestingly, the optimum interaction-based readout is not the obvious case of perfect time reversal.

description: Diboson production at the LHC is a process of great importance both in the context of tests of the SM and for direct searches for new physics. In this paper we present a phenomenological study of WW, WZ, and ZZ production considering event selections of interest for the anomalous triple-gauge-boson-coupling searches at the LHC: we provide theoretical predictions within the Standard Model at NLO QCD and NLO EW accuracy and study the effect of the anomalous triple-gauge-boson interactions at NLO QCD. For WW and ZZ production, the contribution of the gluon-initiated loop-induced processes is included. Anomalous triple-gauge-boson interactions are parametrized in the EFT framework. This paper is the first application of RECOLA2 in the EFT context.

description: Aims: Recently, salinomycin (SAL) has been reported to inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in various tumors. The aim of this study was to deliver SAL to orthotopic model of pancreatic cancer by the aid of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs). Methods: The NPs were physico-chemically characterized and evaluated for cytotoxicity on luciferase-transduced AsPC-1 cells in vitro as well as implanted orthotopically into the pancreas of nude mice. Results: SAL (3.5 mg/kg every other day) blocked tumor growth by 52% compared to the control group after 3 weeks of therapy. Western blotting of tumor protein extracts indicated that SAL treatment leads to up-regulation of E-cadherin, β-catenin, and transforming growth factor beta receptor (TGFβR) expressions in AsPC-1 orthotopic tumor. Noteworthy, immunofluorescence staining of adjacent tumor sections showed that treatment with SAL NPs cause significant apoptosis in the tumor cells rather than the stroma. Further investigations also revealed that TGFβR2 over-expression was induced in stroma cells after treatment with SAL NPs. Conclusion: These results highlight SAL-loaded PLGA NPs as a promising system for pancreatic cancer treatment, while the mechanistic questions need to be subsequently tested.

description: People use rich prior knowledge about the world in order to efficiently learn new concepts. These priors - also known as "inductive biases" - pertain to the space of internal models considered by a learner, and they help the learner make inferences that go beyond the observed data. A recent study found that deep neural networks optimized for object recognition develop the shape bias (Ritter et al., 2017), an inductive bias possessed by children that plays an important role in early word learning. However, these networks use unrealistically large quantities of training data, and the conditions required for these biases to develop are not well understood. Moreover, it is unclear how the learning dynamics of these networks relate to developmental processes in childhood. We investigate the development and influence of the shape bias in neural networks using controlled datasets of abstract patterns and synthetic images, allowing us to systematically vary the quantity and form of the experience provided to the learning algorithms. We find that simple neural networks develop a shape bias after seeing as few as 3 examples of 4 object categories. The development of these biases predicts the onset of vocabulary acceleration in our networks, consistent with the developmental process in children.

description: In an eminently connected, networked and anonymous digital world, the individual sense of identity becomes a composition of personal and increasingly public layers of influences, likes, follows, and shares. To the digital native, this multi-layer composition is, in some cases, complimentary, and in others, entirely opposing manifestations of interests, tastes, preferences and experiences, canvased across multiple systems, apps and social networks. With an interest in enabling a digital archaeology of this information – exploring and understanding it in a more complete sense – this thesis will explore both the theoretical and philosophical basis on which modern identity is considered in the context of user experience design and online social networks. With a theoretical basis in storytelling, curation, and myth, building towards a technical and research basis in information assessability, natural language processing and data visualization, it will explore the notion of “personal digital identity” – both in the form of personal experience and personal story – under the context of online social network platforms that are prevalent today. Finally, it will propose and demonstrate a fully functional tool for the above mentioned “archaeology” of personal digital identity, within the context of a specific online social network – Reddit.com “Ask Me Anything” interview. As a design research project, the focus of the project will be on realizing the full potential for online knowledge sharing platforms in helping shape, develop, and share personal stories and experiences.

description: We present an analysis of the gas-poor circumstellar material in the HD 113766 binary system (F3/F5, 10 - 16 Myr), recently observed by the Spitzer Space Telescope. For our study we have used the infrared mineralogical model derived from observations of the Deep Impact experiment. We find the dust dominated by warm, fine (~1 um) particles, abundant in Mg-rich olivine, crystalline pyroxenes, amorphous silicates, Fe-rich sulfides, amorphous carbon, and colder water-ice. The warm dust material mix is akin to an inner main belt asteroid of S-type composition. The ~440 K effective temperature of the warm dust implies that the bulk of the observed material is in a narrow belt ~1.8 AU from the 4.4 L_solar central source, in the terrestrial planet-forming region and habitable zone of the system (equivalent to 0.9 AU in the solar system). The icy dust lies in 2 belts, located at 4-9 AU and at 30 - 80 AU. The lower bound of warm dust mass in 0.1 - 20 um, dn/da ~ a^-3.5 particles is very large, at least 3 x 10^20 kg, equivalent to a 320 km radius asteroid of 2.5 g cm^-3 density. Assuming 10m largest particles present, the lower bound of warm dust mass is at least 0.5 M_Mars The dust around HD 113766A originates from catastrophic disruption of terrestrial planet embryo(s) and subsequent grinding of the fragments, or from collisions in a young, extremely dense asteroid belt undergoing aggregation. The persistence of the strong IR excess over the last two decades argues for a mechanism to provide replenishment of the circumstellar material on yearly timescales.

description: We show how the distances to binary black holes measured in gravitational wave observations with ground-based interferometers can be used to constrain the redshift-distance relation and, thereby, measure the Hubble constant ($H_0$). Gravitational wave observations of stellar-mass binary black holes are not expected to be accompanied by any electro-magnetic event that may help in accessing their redshifts. We address this deficiency by using an optical catalog to get the distribution of galaxies in redshift. Assuming that the clustering of the binaries is correlated with that of the galaxies, we propose using that correlation to measure $H_0$. We show that employing this method on simulated data obtained for second-generation networks comprising at least three detectors, e.g., advanced LIGO - advanced VIRGO network, one can measure $H_0$ with an accuracy of $\sim$8% with detection of a reference population of 25 binaries, each with black holes of mass 10$M_\odot$. As expected, with third-generation detectors like the Einstein telescope (ET), which will measure distances much more accurately and to greater depths, one can obtain better estimates for $H_0$. Specifically, we show that with 25 observations, ET can constrain $H_0$ to an accuracy of $\sim$7%. This method can also be used to estimate other cosmological parameters like the matter density $Ω_m$ and the dark energy equation of state.

description: We present Sense Clustering over Time (SCoT), a novel network-based tool for analysing lexical change. SCoT represents the meanings of a word as clusters of similar words. It visualises their formation, change, and demise. There are two main approaches to the exploration of dynamic networks: the discrete one compares a series of clustered graphs from separate points in time. The continuous one analyses the changes of one dynamic network over a time-span. SCoT offers a new hybrid solution. First, it aggregates time-stamped documents into intervals and calculates one sense graph per discrete interval. Then, it merges the static graphs to a new type of dynamic semantic neighbourhood graph over time. The resulting sense clusters offer uniquely detailed insights into lexical change over continuous intervals with model transparency and provenance. SCoT has been successfully used in a European study on the changing meaning of `crisis'.
