description: A general treatment of ultracold two-body scattering in the presence of isotropic spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is presented. Owing to the mixing of different partial wave channels, scattering with SOC is in general a coupled multichannel problem. A systematic method is introduced to analytically solve a class of coupled differential equations by recasting the coupled channel problem as a simple eigenvalue problem. The exact Green's matrix in the presence of SOC is found, which readily gives the scattering solutions for any two identical particles in any total angular momentum subspace having negligible center of mass momentum. Application of this formalism to two spin-1 bosons shows the ubiquitous low energy threshold behavior for systems with isotropic SOC. A modified threshold behavior shows up, which does not occur for the spin-orbit coupled spin-1/2 system. We also confirm the parity-breaking mechanism for the spontaneous emergency of handedness, that has been proposed by Duan et. al. [1]. Additionally, a two-body bound state is found for any arbitrarily small and negative scattering length. Our study sheds light on the few-body side of SOC physics and provides one step towards understanding ultracold scattering in a non-Abelian gauge field.

description: OBJECTIVE:
To examine whether a 10-year change in occupational standing is related to carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) 5 years later.
METHODS:
Data were obtained from 2350 participants in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) Study. Occupational standing was measured at the Year 5 and 15 CARDIA follow-up examinations when participants were 30.2 (standard deviation = 3.6) and 40.2 (standard deviation = 3.6) years of age, respectively. IMT (common carotid artery [CCA], internal carotid artery [ICA], and bulb) was measured at Year 20. Occupational mobility was defined as the change in occupational standing between Years 5 and 15 using two semicontinuous variables. Analyses controlled for demographics, CARDIA center, employment status, parents' medical history, own medical history, Year 5 Framingham Risk Score, physiological risk factors and health behaviors averaged across the follow-up, and sonography reader.
RESULTS:
Occupational mobility was unrelated to IMT save for an unexpected association of downward mobility with less CCA-IMT (β = -0.04, p = .04). However, associations differed depending on initial standing (Year 5) and sex. For those with lower initial standings, upward mobility was associated with less CCA-IMT (β = -0.07, p = .003), and downward mobility was associated with greater CCA-IMT and bulb-ICA-IMT (β = 0.14, p = .01 and β = 0.14, p = .03, respectively); for those with higher standings, upward mobility was associated with greater CCA-IMT (β = 0.15, p = .008), but downward mobility was unrelated to either IMT measure (p values > .20). Sex-specific analyses revealed associations of upward mobility with less CCA-IMT and bulb-ICA-IMT among men only (p values < .02).
CONCLUSIONS:
Occupational mobility may have implications for future cardiovascular health. Effects may differ depending on initial occupational standing and sex.

description: The real monomial representations of Clifford algebras give rise to two sequences of bent functions. For each of these sequences, the corresponding Cayley graphs are strongly regular graphs, and the corresponding sequences of strongly regular graph parameters coincide. Even so, the corresponding graphs in the two sequences are not isomorphic, except in the first 3 cases. The proof of this non-isomorphism is a simple consequence of a theorem of Radon.

description: Optimism is an individual difference variable that reflects the extent to which people hold generalized favorable expectancies for their future. Higher levels of optimism have been related prospectively to better subjective well-being in times of adversity or difficulty (i.e., controlling for previous well-being). Consistent with such findings, optimism has been linked to higher levels of engagement coping and lower levels of avoidance, or disengagement, coping. There is evidence that optimism is associated with taking proactive steps to protect one's health, whereas pessimism is associated with health-damaging behaviors. Consistent with such findings, optimism is also related to indicators of better physical health. The energetic, task-focused approach that optimists take to goals also relates to benefits in the socioeconomic world. Some evidence suggests that optimism relates to more persistence in educational efforts and to higher later income. Optimists also appear to fare better than pessimists in relationships. Although there are instances in which optimism fails to convey an advantage, and instances in which it may convey a disadvantage, those instances are relatively rare. In sum, the behavioral patterns of optimists appear to provide models of living for others to learn from.

description: The aim of this paper is to give an introductory review of the cryoelectron microscopy as a complex data source for the most of the system biology branches, including the most perspective non-local approaches known as "localomics" and "dynamomics". A brief summary of various cryoelectron mi-croscopy methods and corresponding system biological ap-proaches is given in the text. The above classification can be considered as a useful framework for the primary comprehen-sions about cryoelectron microscopy aims and instrumental tools. We do not discuss any of these concepts in details, but merely point out that their methodological complexity follows only from the structure-functional complexity of biological systems which are investigated in this manner. We also postu-late that one can employ some of the cryoelectron microscopic techniques not only for observation, but also for modification and structural refunctionalization of some biological and similar soft matter objects and microscopic samples. In other worlds, we start with the cryoelectron microscopy as a tool for the sys-tem biology and progress to its applying as an instrument for system biology and functional biomimetics; i.e. "system cryobi-ology" goes over into "synthetic cryobiology" or "cryogenic biomimetics". All these conclusions can be deduced from the most recent works of the latest years, including just submitted foreign papers. This article provides an up-to-date description of the conceptual basis for the novel view on the computational cryoelectron microscopy (in silico) approaches and the data mining principles which lie at the very foundation of modern structural analysis and reconstruction.

description: Near-duplicate detection in a dataset involves finding the elements that are closest to a new query element according to a given similarity function and proximity threshold. The brute force approach is very computationally intensive as it evaluates the similarity between the queried item and all items in the dataset. The potential application domain is an image sharing website that checks for plagiarism or piracy every time a new image is uploaded. Among the various approaches, near-duplicate detection was effectively addressed by SimPair LSH (Fisichella et al., in Decker, Lhotská, Link, Spies, Wagner (eds) Database and expert systems applications, Springer, 2014). As the name suggests, SimPair LSH uses locality sensitive hashing (LSH) and computes and stores in advance a small set of near-duplicate pairs present in the dataset and uses them to reduce the candidate set returned for a given query using the Triangle inequality. We develop an algorithm that predicts how the candidate set will be reduced. We also develop a new efficient method for near-duplicate image detection using a deep Siamese coding neural network that is able to extract effective features from images useful for building LSH indices. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets confirm the effectiveness of our deep Siamese coding network and prediction algorithm.

description: Bernard, Gervais, Allen, Campomizzi, and Klein (2012) report an inversion effect only when participants viewed sexualized male body images and not when they viewed sexualized female body images. On the basis of a belief that face and person recognition is subject to an inversion effect (Rossion, 2008; Yin, 1969) but that object recognition is not, the authors concluded that “at a basic cognitive level, sexualized men were perceived as persons, whereas sexualized women were perceived as objects” (p. 470). The inference is that different visual-recognition processes are applied to images of males and images of females. This conclusion is unwarranted on empirical, methodological, and logical grounds.

description: The milling of titanium and nickel-based alloys leads to high tool wear due to the high thermomechanical load on the tool. By modifying the flank face on end mills, it is possible to limit the increase in the width of flank wear land, thus increasing tool life, component quality and increasing the allowable productivity of the tools. The flank face modification is characterized by the width and depth of the undercut and the rounding in the undercut of the modification. Through a simulation-based approach, a method is created to design the flank face modification in a load-optimized way and thus to use the full potential in the respective application cases.

description: Modern cutting tools like end mills, drilling tools, and reamers underlie high requirements regarding geometrical accuracy, cutting edge quality, and production costs. However, the potential for process optimization is limited due to the process kinematics during grinding. Consequently, a novel tool grinding process for the manufacture of cutting tools has been developed recently at the Institute for Production Engineering and Machine Tools (IFW). This continuous generating grinding process allows the simultaneous production of all flutes and circumferential flank faces of rotational symmetrical cutting tools. The present paper focuses on the geometrical process design and develops a method to determine the necessary basic rack and process parameters in order to create a desired cutting edge geometry by continuous generating grinding. The developed method can define all parameters with an accuracy of up to 5 µm and 0.2° within a simulation in five iteration steps and allows not only the quantitative design of the cutting tool geometry but a qualitative modification of the flute geometry as well. Subsequently performed grinding tests showed that the presented method allows the design of grinding worms for continuous generating grinding of cutting tools and enables the successful implementation of these processes.

description: Given evidence that silhouette information can be used by adults to form categorical representations at the basic level, four experiments utilizing the familiarization-novelty preference procedure were performed to examine whether 3- and 4-month-old infants could form categorical representations for cats versus dogs from the perceptual information available in silhouettes (e.g., global shape and external outline). Experiments 1 and 2 showed that infants could form individuated categorical representations for cat and dog silhouettes, whereas Experiments 3 and 4 revealed that infants could use silhouette information from the head, but not the body, to categorically separate the two species. These results indicate that general shape or external contour information that is centered about the head is sufficient for young infants to form individuated categorical representations for cats and dogs. The data thus provide information regarding the nature of the perceptual information that can be used by infants to form category representations for individual animal species and are discussed in terms of domain-general versus domain-specific processing accounts.

description: Under the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP), high-income countries grant unilateral trade preferences to developing countries. These preferences are subject to political conditionality, but little is known about the trade impact of loss of preferential access. We study the EU's complete withdrawal of GSP preferences from Belarus in 2007 in response to labour rights violations to fill this void. The withdrawal caused a significant drop in trade for affected products (25%–27% trade decline) and some trade reduction at the extensive margin. For products where trade was affected at the intensive margin, there is some evidence of adjustment through falls in quantities but also through prices for larger export sectors. The impact was uneven across sectors, with textiles and plastics particularly strongly affected by the withdrawal.

description: The role of stress in the pathogenesis of childhood wheeze remains
controversial. Caretaker stress might influence wheeze
through stress-induced behavioral changes in caregivers (e.g.,
smoking, breast-feeding) or biologic processes impacting infant
development (e.g., immune response, susceptibility to lower respiratory
infections). The influence of caregiver stress on wheeze
in infancy was studied in a genetically predisposed prospective
birth-cohort (n equals
496). Caregiver-perceived stress and wheeze in
the children were ascertained bimonthly from the first 2 to 3 mo
of life. Greater levels of caregiver-perceived stress at 2 to 3 mo was
associated with increased risk of subsequent repeated wheeze
among the children during the first 14 mo of life (RR, 1.6; 95% CI,
1.3 to 1.9). Caregiver-perceived stress remained significant (RR,
1.4; 95% CI, 1.1 to 1.9) when controlling for factors potentially associated
with both stress and wheeze (parental asthma, socioeconomic
status, birth weight, and race/ethnicity) as well as mediators
through which stress might influence wheeze (maternal
smoking, breast-feeding, indoor allergen exposures, and lower respiratory
infections). Furthermore, caregiver stress prospectively
predicted wheeze in the infants, whereas wheeze in the children
did not predict subsequent caregiver stress. The effect of caregiver
stress on early childhood wheeze was independent of caregiver
smoking and breast-feeding behaviors, as well as allergen exposure,
birth weight, and lower respiratory infections. These findings
suggest a more direct mechanism may be operating between
stress and wheeze in early childhood. Stress may contribute significantly
to the population burden of preventable childhood respiratory
illness.

description: The aim of the present study was to determine whether physical attributes of a memory representation would affect explicit memory performance and, if so, what type of factors would affect the size of a perceptual match effect. Subjects studied words in different, uncommon fonts and were later asked whether the word had been studied earlier. Words could be re-presented in the original font, a font studied with another word, or a font not seen earlier. In two additional experiments, we varied the numbers of words studied in the same unusual font (1 vs. 12 words per font). Recognition memory for the words was better if the test and study fonts matched, and this effect was larger for fonts not shared with other words. Moreover, old judgments were most likely to be classified as remember responses when words were re-presented in the same font when it had not been studied with other words. Although we found a significant effect of levels of processing, this factor did not interact with whether the font matched between study and test. These results are consistent with the predictions of the source of activation confusion model of memory and suggest that perceptual information operates according to the same memory principles as conceptual information.
The Transnistria's ethnic Germans and the Holocaust, 1941-1942

description: In the eyes of Nazi Germany, the ethnic Germans or die Volksdeutschen-people of German ancestry who lived beyond the prewar borders of the German state-inhabited an ambiguous racial territory. Because the SS alone controlled the ethnic German settlements in the Transnistria, a region that encompasses much of present-day Moldova and western Ukraine, it was able to enact radical policies that constricted the decision-making space in which ethnic Germans chose to become Holocaust perpetrators. In contrast to their endangered position under Soviet rule, those ethnic Germans who supported the Transnistria's new Nazi order received material rewards from their SS overlords. But those ethnic Germans whom the SS found politically and racially objectionable felt the regime's unrestrained brutality. Using both German and Soviet sources, this thesis examines the relationship between this exceptional context and the crimes of the Transnistria's ethnic German auxiliary police during the winter of 1941-42.

description: The numerical knowledge of children from low-income backgrounds trails behind that of peers from middle-income backgrounds even before the children enter school. This gap may reflect differing prior experience with informal numerical activities, such as numerical board games. Experiment 1 indicated that the numerical magnitude knowledge of preschoolers from low-income families lagged behind that of peers from more affluent backgrounds. Experiment 2 indicated that playing a simple numerical board game for four 15-minute sessions eliminated the differences in numerical estimation proficiency. Playing games that substituted colors for numbers did not have this effect. Thus, playing numerical board games offers an inexpensive means for reducing the gap in numerical knowledge that separates less and more affluent children when they begin school.

description: Discussions about funding research grants by lottery have centered on weighing the pros and cons of peer review, but this focus does not fully account for how an idea comes across in the field of science to those researchers directly dependent on research funding. Not only do researchers have personal perspectives, but they are also shaped by their experiences and the positions they occupy in the field of science. Applying Bourdieu’s field theory, the authors explore the question of which field-specific problems and conflicts scientists identify and for which they could imagine using a grant lottery in the allocation of research funding. Under what conditions does such a solution, which is external to the field of science, seem justified to them? The results show that different areas of application are conceivable for a lottery mechanism in the field of science but that its use seems justifiable only for legitimate field-specific quandaries.

description: We derive an equality for non-equilibrium statistical mechanics in finite-dimensional quantum systems. The equality concerns the worst-case work output of a time-dependent Hamiltonian protocol in the presence of a Markovian heat bath. It has has the form "worst-case work = penalty - optimum". The equality holds for all rates of changing the Hamiltonian and can be used to derive the optimum by setting the penalty to 0. The optimum term contains the max entropy of the initial state, rather than the von Neumann entropy, thus recovering recent results from single-shot statistical mechanics. Energy coherences can arise during the protocol but are assumed not to be present initially. We apply the equality to an electron box.

description: Novel aluminum-copper compound castings devoid of oxide layers at the interface between the joining partners were developed in order to increase the thermal conductivity of the hybrid component. Due to the natural oxide layers of both aluminum and copper, metallurgical bonds between such bi-metal castings cannot be easily achieved in conventional processes. However, in an atmosphere comparable to extreme high vacuum created by using silane-doped inert gas, metallurgical bonds between the active surfaces of both aluminum and copper can be realized without additional coatings or fluxes. An intermetallic was created between aluminum and copper. Thus, very high thermal conductivities could be obtained for these hybrid castings, exceeding those of conventionally joined samples considerably. The intermetallic phase seams emerging between the joining partners were investigated using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The reduction of casting temperatures resulted in narrower intermetallic phase seams and these in turn in a much lower contact resistance between the two joining partners. This effect can be utilized for increasing the heat transfer capabilities of compound casting components employed for cooling heat sources such as high-power light-emitting diodes.

description: Objective: In an earlier study, positive emotional style (PES) was associated with resistance to the common cold and a bias to underreport (relative to objective disease markers) symptom severity. This work did not control for social and cognitive factors closely associated with PES. We replicate the original study using a different virus and controls for these alternative explanations. Methods: One hundred ninety-three healthy volunteers ages 21 to 55 years were assessed for a PES characterized by being happy, lively, and calm; a negative emotional style (NES) characterized by being anxious, hostile, and depressed; other cognitive and social dispositions; and self-reported health. Subsequently, they were exposed by nasal drops to a rhinovirus or influenza virus and monitored in quarantine for objective signs of illness and self-reported symptoms. Results: For both viruses, increased PES was associated with lower risk of developing an upper respiratory illness as defined by objective criteria (adjusted odds ratio comparing lowest with highest tertile  equa 2.9) and with reportine equals 2.0) fewer symptoms than expected from concurrent objective markers of illness. These associations were independent of prechallenge virus-specific antibody, virus type, age, sex, education, race, body mass, season, and NES. They were also independent of optimism, extraversion, mastery, self-esteem, purpose, and self-reported health. Conclusions: We replicated the prospective association of PES and colds and PES and biased symptom reporting, extended those results to infection with an influenza virus, and “ruled out” alternative hypotheses. These results indicate that PES may play a more important role in health than previously thought.

CCN Forwarding Strategies for Multihomed Mobile Terminals

Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)

description: Current IP-based networks are unable to fully exploit the capabilities of the increasing number of multihomed mobile terminals. We argue that Content-Centric Networking (CCN), a novel networking architecture based on named information objects, can fill the gap. In this paper, we elicit requirements for CCN packet forwarding on multihomed mobile terminals. We categorize CCN forwarding strategies according to their ability to fulfill these requirements and provide a real-world performance evaluation in the current CCNx prototype implementation. Moreover, we describe the initial design of an advanced multipath forwarding strategy.

description: Reflective equilibrium (RE)—the idea that we have to justify our judgments and principles through a process of mutual adjustment—is taken to be a central method in philosophy. Nonetheless, conceptions of RE often stay sketchy, and there is a striking lack of explicit and traceable applications of it. This paper presents an explicit case study for the application of an elaborate RE conception. RE is used to reconstruct the arguments from Thomson’s paper “Turning the Trolley” for why a bystander must not divert a runaway trolley from five workmen onto one. Analyzing Thomson’s resulting position with the RE-criteria has two main results: Firstly, the adjustment of one of her commitments can be defended. Secondly, no justified position in RE was reached. With respect to RE as a method, the main results from this application are: (1) There is at least one conception of RE that is sufficiently specified to be applicable; (2) the RE criteria put real constraints on the process of justification; and (3) an explicit application of RE has benefits in terms of clarity while at the same time providing guidance for how the justificatory process could be continued.
Practice Enables Successful Learning Under Minimal Guidance

description: Two experiments were conducted, contrasting a minimally guided discovery condition with a variety of instructional conditions. College students interacted with a computer-based tutor that presented algebra-like problems in a novel graphical representation. Although the tutor provided no instruction in a discovery condition, it constrained the possible actions sufficiently that students could always discover the algebraic transformations they needed to learn. In Experiment 1, with ample practice for each new transformation, students performed better in the discovery condition than any instructional condition. In Experiment 2, with only a little practice for each transformation, students performed worst in the discovery condition. The authors suggest that the high levels of practice in the 1st experiment made students more efficient at discovering the algebraic transformations. When the cognitive demands were manageable, the discovery students may have more often encoded the algebraic transformations in mathematically correct ways.
Semiclassical energy conditions and wormholes

description: We consider the nonlinear energy conditions and their quantum extensions. These new energy conditions behave much better than the usual pointwise energy conditions in the presence of semiclassical quantum effects. Analogous quantum extensions for the linear energy conditions are not always satisfied as one enters the quantum realm, but they can be used to constrain the violation of the classical conditions. Thus, the existence of wormholes supported by a fluid which violates the null energy condition in a controlled way is of particular interest.

Chronic Early Childhood Exposure to Inorganic Arsenic is Associated with a TNF-mediated Proteomic Signaling Response

description: Exposure to inorganic arsenic (iAs) in drinking water remains a global issue of concern and is associated with a range of health outcomes, including immune dysfunction. Young children have been identified as a particularly sensitive population, yet mechanisms of adverse health outcomes are understudied. Here we set out to examine the effects of iAs exposure on circulating serum proteins in adolescents. To identify proteins as potential indicators of disease, levels of total urinary arsenic (U-tAs) and its methylated metabolites were determined and serum proteins assessed for differences in expression. The results indicate an enrichment of TNF-regulated immune and inflammatory response proteins that display decreased expression levels in relation to increasing U-tAs. Notably, when analyzed in the context of the arsenical proportions, there was minimal overlap between the protein lists, with the most robust response observed in relation to %MMAs. These data represent the first assessment of protein expression in serum in adolescents exposed to inorganic arsenic.

description: Perception of the near environment gives rise to spatial images in working memory that continue to represent the spatial layout even after cessation of sensory input. As the observer moves, these spatial images are continuously updated. This research is concerned with (1) whether spatial images of targets are formed when they are sensed using extended touch (i.e., using a probe to extend the reach of the arm) and (2) the accuracy with which such targets are perceived. In Experiment 1, participants perceived the 3-D locations of individual targets from a fixed origin and were then tested with an updating task involving blindfolded walking followed by placement of the hand at the remembered target location. Twenty-four target locations, representing all combinations of two distances, two heights, and six azimuths, were perceived by vision or by blindfolded exploration with the bare hand, a 1-m probe, or a 2-m probe. Systematic errors in azimuth were observed for all targets, reflecting errors in representing the target locations and updating. Overall, updating after visual perception was best, but the quantitative differences between conditions were small. Experiment 2 demonstrated that auditory information signifying contact with the target was not a factor. Overall, the results indicate that 3-D spatial images can be formed of targets sensed by extended touch and that perception by extended touch, even out to 1.75 m, is surprisingly accurate.
Law-Invariant Functionals that Collapse to the Mean: Beyond Convexity

description: We establish general “collapse to the mean” principles that provide conditions under which a law-invariant functional reduces to an expectation. In the convex setting, we retrieve and sharpen known results from the literature. However, our results also apply beyond the convex setting. We illustrate this by providing a complete account of the “collapse to the mean” for quasiconvex functionals. In the special cases of consistent risk measures and Choquet integrals, we can even dispense with quasiconvexity. In addition, we relate the “collapse to the mean” to the study of solutions of a broad class of optimisation problems with law-invariant objectives that appear in mathematical finance, insurance, and economics. We show that the corresponding quantile formulations studied in the literature are sometimes illegitimate and require further analysis.

description: The assembly of CdSe/CdS dot/rod nanocrystals (NCs) with variable length of ZnS tips into aerogel networks is presented. To this end, a partial region selective cation exchange procedure is performed replacing Cd by Zn starting at the NC tip. The produced aerogel networks are investigated structurally and optically. The networks of tip-to-tip connected NCs have an intricate band structure with holes confined to the CdSe cores while electrons are delocalized within the CdS also within connected building blocks. However, the ZnS tips act as a barrier of variable length and strength between the NC building blocks partly confining the electrons. This results in NC based aerogel networks with tunable strength of coupling between building blocks.
