description: We study cosmology in the bigravity formulation of the dRGT model where matter couples to both metrics. At linear order in perturbation theory two mass scales emerge: an hard one from the dRGT potential, and an environmental dependent one from the coupling of bigravity with matter. At early time, the dynamics is dictated by the second mass scale which is of order of the Hubble scale. The set of gauge invariant perturbations that couples to matter follow closely the same behaviour as in GR. The remaining perturbations show no issue in the scalar sector, while problems arise in the tensor and vector sectors. During radiation domination, a tensor mode grows power-like at super-horizon scales. More dangerously, the only propagating vector mode features an exponential instability on sub-horizon scales. We discuss the consequences of such instabilities and speculate on possible ways to deal with them.

description: This work proposes a detectability condition for linear time-varying systems based on the exponential dichotomy spectrum. The condition guarantees the existence of an observer, whose gain is determined only by the unstable modes of the system. This allows for an observer design with low computational complexity compared to classical estimation approaches. An extension of this observer design to a class of nonlinear systems is proposed and local convergence of the corresponding estimation error dynamics is proven. Numerical results show the efficacy of the proposed observer design technique.

description: We demonstrate a few unique dynamical properties of point-gap Weyl semimetal, an intrinsic non-Hermitian topological phase in three dimensions. We consider a concrete model where a pair of Weyl points reside on the imaginary axis of the complex energy plane, opening up a point gap characterized by a topological invariant, the three-winding number $W_3$. This gives rise to surface spectra and dynamical responses that differ fundamentally from those in Hermitian Weyl semimetals. First, we predict a time-dependent current flow along the magnetic field in the absence of an electric field, in sharp contrast to the current driven by the chiral anomaly, which requires both electric and magnetic fields. Second, we reveal a novel type of boundary-skin mode in the wire geometry which becomes localized at two corners of the wire cross section. We explain its origin and show its experimental signatures in wave-packet dynamics.

description: New tools for measuring the impact of research (altmetrics) bring much needed attention to changing scholarly communication practices. However, alternative forms of output are still widely excluded from the evaluation of individual researchers. The ACUMEN project addresses this problem in two ways. First, by creating a researcher portfolio framework that facilitates promotion of a broad range of scholarly output. And second, by shifting the orientation of evaluations from a top-down relationship, to a dialog between the researcher and evaluation committee. The ACUMEN Portfolio facilitates negotiation of included content and the means by which researchers prepare an evidence-based argument.

description: This special issue of Texas Education review showcases a snapshot of the most current pathways research is taking among emergent scholars from the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and the tensions that come with the new understandings of what it means to be trained as researchers in institutions that epitomize Western colonialism since their inception and to conduct research that attempts to recuperate onto-epistemologies that such training tries to invisibilize. This collection of transgressive articles speaks of a departure process at the intersections of the political, pedagogical, methodological, and personal levels that not only exemplifies the current issues in cultural studies but models praxical research as a contestation against the scarification process that academia inflicts on scholars that wish to research on their terms.

description: A chemometric data analysis challenge has been arranged during the first edition of the "International Workshop on Spectroscopy and Chemometrics", organized by the Vistamilk SFI Research Centre and held online in April 2021. The aim of the competition was to build a calibration model in order to predict milk quality traits exploiting the information contained in mid-infrared spectra only. Three different traits have been provided, presenting heterogeneous degrees of prediction complexity thus possibly requiring trait-specific modelling choices. In this paper the different approaches adopted by the participants are outlined and the insights obtained from the analyses are critically discussed.

description: Propranolol, a non-selective beta-blocker medication, has been utilized in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases for several decades. Its hydroxynaphthyl metabolites have been recognized to possess varying degrees of beta-blocker activity due to the unaltered side-chain. This study achieved the successful separation and identification of diastereomeric glucuronic metabolites derived from 4-, 5-, and 7-hydroxypropranolol (4-OHP, 5-OHP, and 7-OHP) in human urine. Subsequently, reaction phenotyping of 5- and 7-hydroxypropranolol by different uridine 5’-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) was carried out, with a comparison to the glucuronidation of 4-hydroxypropranolol (4-OHP). Among the 19 UGT enzymes examined, UGT1A1, UGT1A3, UGT1A7, UGT1A8, UGT1A9, UGT1A10, UGT2A1, and UGT2A2 were found to be involved in the glucuronidation of 5-OHP. Furthermore, UGT1A6 exhibited glucuronidation activity towards 7-OHP, along with the aforementioned eight UGTs. Results obtained by glucuronidation of corresponding methoxypropranolols and MS/MS analysis of 1,2-dimethylimidazole-4-sulfonyl (DMIS) derivatives of hydroxypropranolol glucuronides suggest that both the aromatic and aliphatic hydroxy groups of the hydroxypropranolols may be glucuronidated in vitro. However, the analysis of human urine samples collected after the administration of propranolol leads us to conclude that aromatic-linked glucuronidation is the preferred pathway under physiological conditions.

description: Online experiments are the gold standard for evaluating impact on user experience and accelerating innovation in software. However, since experiments are typically limited in duration, observed treatment effects are not always stable, sometimes revealing increasing or decreasing patterns over time. There are multiple causes for a treatment effect to change over time. In this paper, we focus on a particular cause, user-learning, which is primarily associated with novelty or primacy. Novelty describes the desire to use new technology that tends to diminish over time. Primacy describes the growing engagement with technology as a result of adoption of the innovation. Estimating user-learning is critical because it holds experimentation responsible for trustworthiness, empowers organizations to make better decisions by providing a long-term view of expected impact, and prevents user dissatisfaction. In this paper, we propose an observational approach, based on difference-in-differences technique to estimate user-learning at scale. We use this approach to test and estimate user-learning in many experiments at Microsoft. We compare our approach with the existing experimental method to show its benefits in terms of ease of use and higher statistical power, and to discuss its limitation in presence of other forms of treatment interaction with time.

description: Baton Rouge, Louisiana is home to over 400,000 residents, of which 80,000 might become residents of a new city: St. George. In October 2019, a majority voted to incorporate their portion of East Baton Rouge Parish into a city which would become the richest and whitest city in Louisiana. The organizers of the incorporation say it was because of reasons such as the need for a better public school system and for financial sovereignty from the city of Baton Rouge, but it goes deeper than that. With a survey and personal interviews, this research suggests that residents were misled about the creation of this new city, as well as how much of an impact it would have on all of the surrounding areas. Residents were unaware of how they would receive city services, and how long it would take to get the new public schools operational. While the creation of this city could have happened and was legal, a lawsuit set it back and the incorporation has been denied on multiple technicalities. They are currently awaiting a decision from the Louisiana Supreme Court.

description: In this article, we aim to provide a statistical theory for object matching based on a lower bound of the Gromov-Wasserstein distance related to the distribution of (pairwise) distances of the considered objects. To this end, we model general objects as metric measure spaces. Based on this, we propose a simple and efficiently computable asymptotic statistical test for pose invariant object discrimination. This is based on a (β-trimmed) empirical version of the afore-mentioned lower bound. We derive the distributional limits of this test statistic for the trimmed and untrimmed case. For this purpose, we introduce a novel U-type process indexed in β and show its weak convergence. The theory developed is investigated in Monte Carlo simulations and applied to structural protein comparisons. Supplementary materials for this article are available online.

description: We perform a complete next-to-leading order calculation of the non-Abelian electric field correlator in a SU($N_c$) plasma, which encodes properties of the plasma relevant for heavy particle bound state formation and dissociation, and is different from the correlator for the heavy quark diffusion coefficient. The calculation is carried out in the real-time formalism of thermal field theory and includes both vacuum and finite temperature contributions. By working in the $R_ξ$ gauge, we explicitly show the results are gauge independent, infrared and collinear safe. The renormalization group equation of this electric field correlator is determined by that of the strong coupling constant. Our next-to-leading order calculation can be directly applied to any dipole singlet-adjoint transition of heavy particle pairs. For example, it can be used to describe dissociation and (re)generation of heavy quarkonia inside the quark-gluon plasma well below the melting temperature, as well as heavy dark matter pairs (or charged co-annihilating partners) in the early universe.

description: Cosmological models are obtained in a f (R) modified gravity with a coupled Gauss–Bonnet (GB) terms in the gravitational action. The dynamical role of the GB terms is explored with a coupled dilaton field in two different cases (I) f (R) = R + γR2 − λ ? R 3m2 s ?δ where γ, λ and δ are arbitrary constants and (II) f (R) = R and estimate the constraints on the model parameters. In the first case we choose GB terms coupled with a free scalar field in the presence of interacting fluid and in the second case GB terms coupled with scalar field in a self interacting potential to compare the observed Universe. The evolutionary scenario of the Universe is obtained adopting a numerical technique as the field equations are highly non-linear. Defining a new density parameter ΩH, a ratio of the dark energy (DE) density to the present energy density of the non-relativistic matter, we look for a late accelerating Universe. The state finder parameters ΩH, deceleration parameter (q), jerk parameter (j) are plotted. It is noted that a non?singular Universe with oscillating cosmological parameters for a given strength of interactions is admitted in model-I. The gravitational coupling constant λ is playing an important role. The Lagrangian density of f (R) is found to dominate over the GB terms when oscillating phase of DE arises. In model-II, we do not find oscillation of the cosmological parameters as the Universe evolves. In the presence of interaction the energy from radiation sector of matter cannot flow to the other two sectors of fluid. The range of values of the strengths of inter?action of the fluids are estimated for a stable Universe assuming the primordial gravitational wave speed equal to unity

description: Life emerged in an anoxic world, but the release of molecular oxygen, the by-product of photosynthesis, forced adaptive changes to counteract its toxicity. However, reactive oxygen species can damage all cellular components, including proteins. Therefore, several mechanisms have evolved to balance the intracellular redox state and maintain a reductive environment more compatible with many essential biological functions. In this study, we statistically interrogated the amino acid composition of E. coli proteins to investigate how the proneness or susceptibility to oxidation of amino acids biased their sequences. By sorting the proteins into five compartments (cytoplasm, internal membrane, periplasm, outer membrane, and extracellular), we found that various oxidative lesions constrain protein composition and depend on the cellular compartments, impacting the evenness of distribution or frequency. Our findings suggest that oxidative susceptibility could influence the observed differences in amino acid abundance across cellular compartments. This result reflects how the oxidative atmosphere could restrict protein amino acid composition and impose a codon bias trend.

description: In recent work, we provide computational arguments for expanding the class of proper cones recognized by conic optimization solvers, to permit simpler, smaller, more natural conic formulations. We define an exotic cone as a proper cone for which we can implement a small set of tractable (i.e. fast, numerically stable, analytic) oracles for a logarithmically homogeneous self-concordant barrier for the cone or for its dual cone. Our extensible, open source conic interior point solver, Hypatia, allows modeling and solving any conic optimization problem over a Cartesian product of exotic cones. In this paper, we introduce Hypatia's interior point algorithm. Our algorithm is based on that of Skajaa and Ye [2015], which we generalize by handling exotic cones without tractable primal oracles. With the goal of improving iteration count and solve time in practice, we propose a sequence of four enhancements to the interior point stepping procedure of Skajaa and Ye [2015]: (1) loosening the central path proximity condition, (2) adjusting the directions using a third order directional derivative barrier oracle, (3) performing a backtracking search on a curve, and (4) combining the prediction and centering directions. We implement 23 useful exotic cones in Hypatia. We summarize the complexity of computing oracles for these cones, showing that our new third order oracle is not a bottleneck, and we derive efficient and numerically stable oracle implementations for several cones. We generate a diverse benchmark set of 379 conic problems from 37 different applied examples. Our computational testing shows that each stepping enhancement improves Hypatia's iteration count and solve time. Altogether, the enhancements reduce the shifted geometric means of iteration count and solve time by over 80% and 70% respectively.

title: Lipase B from Candida antartica : applications to industrial polyester synthesis.
Creators: name: Harffey, Paul.
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: In the early 1990s, enzymatic polymerization studies on an unactivated adipic acid (A) / butane-1,4-diol (B) system in anhydrous organic media suggested that in solvent-free conditions a step-growth mechanism operates involving the effective sequential addition of an 'AB' unit. Subsequent optimisation work led to development of an efficient solvent-free process using lipase B from Candida antarctica as catalyst at temperatures of around 60°C, producing polyesters with unique properties compared to their counterparts synthesised using conventional high temperature processes. The present work describes the synthesis and unambiguous characterisation by GPC of a series of key oligomers formed during the enzymatic process, enabling a clearer understanding of the polymer assembly route. Use of semi-quantitative methods to compare the reactivity of these oligomeric species along the proposed enzymatic reaction pathway further clarifies the polymerisation mechanism and explains the differences between the final products of conventional and enzymatic polymerisations. Comparison of polyesterifications performed in solvent-free and toluene-based media reveals a change in lipase specificity from a simple esterification to an esterification! transesterification mode. Addition of a variety of compounds to the enzymatic polyesterification process led to an enhancement of lipase activity and sometimes enabled recovery of lipase from the system with no loss in activity. Explanations for these effects are proffered with supporting experimental evidence. A variety of studies on the effect of changing the polarity of reaction medium have been performed, an apparent trend of decreasing lipase activity with increasing solvent polarity having been noted. The low temperatures employed in the enzymatic polymerisations enable access to a range of polyesters precluded by harsh conventional conditions. Studies on the polymerisation of novel polymers possessing unsaturation, labile groups such as epoxides and chirality are detailed, giving an indication of one of the potential advantages of an enzymatic system. In addition, studies on the more conventional uses of enzymes in organic synthesis are included, where an apparent switch in lipase stereoselectivity occurs, in line with the findings of other workers in the field.

description: Gender-specific knowledge – just like knowledge in general – is generated through discourses that are disseminated through (mass) media. Among the first mass media is the Spectator press (Moralische Wochenschriften) which spread all over Europe throughout the 18th century. With their gender-specific discourses, analyzed in Spectatoriale Geschlechterkonstruktionen (Völkl 2022), they decisively promote the development of a (bourgeois) gender model, shaping the social perception of gender until today. Against this background, the present article examines the gender-specific discourses in the French and Spanish Spectator periodicals by means of topic modeling which detects semantically related words. The study, which originates from the project Distant Spectators. Distant Reading for Periodicals of the Enlightenment (Scholger et al. 2019–2021), shows that topic modeling reinforces previous findings on gender-specific discourses in the Spectator periodicals. Moreover, it offers new perspectives concerning this research corpus.

description: We investigate pathways for the formation of icy super-Earth mass planets orbiting at 125-250 AU around a 1 solar mass star. An extensive suite of coagulation calculations demonstrates that swarms of 1 cm to 10 m planetesimals can form super-Earth mass planets on time scales of 1-3 Gyr. Collisional damping of 0.01-100 cm particles during oligarchic growth is a highlight of these simulations. In some situations, damping initiates a second runaway growth phase where 100-3000 km protoplanets grow to super-Earth sizes. Our results establish the initial conditions and physical processes required for in situ formation of super-Earth planets at large distances from the host star. For nearby dusty disks in HD 107146, HD 202628, and HD 207129, ongoing super-Earth formation at 80-150 AU could produce gaps and other structures in the debris. In the solar system, forming a putative planet X at a < 300 AU (a > 1000 AU) requires a modest (very massive) protosolar nebula.

description: This paper considers the problem of decentralized, personalized federated learning. For centralized personalized federated learning, a penalty that measures the deviation from the local model and its average, is often added to the objective function. However, in a decentralized setting this penalty is expensive in terms of communication costs, so here, a different penalty - one that is built to respect the structure of the underlying computational network - is used instead. We present lower bounds on the communication and local computation costs for this problem formulation and we also present provably optimal methods for decentralized personalized federated learning. Numerical experiments are presented to demonstrate the practical performance of our methods.

description: In this Letter, we present for the first time a calculation of the complete next-to-leading order corrections to the $gg \to ZH$ process. We use the method of small mass expansion to tackle the most challenging two-loop virtual amplitude, in which the top quark mass dependence is retained throughout the calculations. We show that our method provides reliable numeric results in all kinematic regions, and present phenomenological predictions for the total and differential cross sections at the Large Hadron Collider and its future upgrades. Our results are necessary ingredients towards reducing the theoretical uncertainties of the $pp \to ZH$ cross sections down to the percent-level, and provide important theoretical inputs for future precision experimental collider programs.

Specifically we prove that given any compact Lagrangian $L\subset \mathbb{C}^n$ with a finite number of singularities, each asymptotic to a pair of non-area-minimising, transversally intersecting Lagrangian planes, there is a smooth Lagrangian mean curvature flow existing for some positive time, that attains $L$ as $t \searrow 0$ as varifolds, and smoothly locally away from the singularities.

description: This contribution exemplifies a workflow for the quantitative operationalization and analysis of historical literary reception. We will show how to encode literary historical information in a dataset that is suitable for quantitative analysis and present a nuanced and theory-based perspective on automated sentiment detection in historical literary reviews. Applying our method to corpora of English and German novels and narratives published from 1688 to 1914 and corresponding reviews and circulating library catalogs, we investigate if a text’s popularity with lay audiences, the attention from contemporary experts or the sentiment in experts’ reviews can be predicted from textual features, with the aim of contributing to the understanding of how literary reception as a social process can be linked to textual qualities.

description: We investigate the cosmological behavior of mimetic F(R) gravity. This scenario is the F(R) extension of usual mimetic gravity classes, which are based on re-parametrizations of the metric using new, but not propagating, degrees of freedom, that can lead to a wider family of solutions. Performing a detailed dynamical analysis for exponential, power-law, and arbitrary F(R) forms, we extracted the corresponding critical points. Interestingly enough, we found that although the new features of mimetic F(R) gravity can affect the universe evolution at early and intermediate times, at late times they will not have any effect, and the universe will result at stable states that coincide with those of usual F(R) gravity. However, this feature holds for the late-time background evolution only. On the contrary, the behavior of the perturbations is expected to be different since the new term contributes to the perturbations even if it does not contribute at the background level.

title: Textile production and structural crisis : the case of the late colonial Peru.

description: Large-scale production of woollen cloth represented colonial Peru's predominant manufacturing sector. In an economy largely based on barter trade, cloth ranked among the means of exchange of the highest estimation and formed part of the wages of many workers throughout the viceroyalty. Principal domestic purchasers were the urban conglomerations and the silver mining centres. Consignments to other American destinations along the routes of inter-regional trade supplemented the extensive distribution of domesticallymanufactured cloth within the viceroyalty. Contemporary observers unanimously perceived the introduction of comercio libre in 1778, with its extended transatlantic imports of cheaper and superior textiles, as the immediate cause of a subsequent decline of the sector. However, a careful analysis of primary documentation contradicts this general assumption. The cloth manufacturers of the northern and central Andean region - Huamachuco, for example - experienced, in fact, a period of continuing and substantial growth after 1778, primarily as a reflection of the prosperity of the silver mining economy in 1770-1810. Thereafter, cloth production spiralled down to a lower level but still superseded the volume realized in the 1750s, when the legalization of the reparto system had initiated a first pull towards expansion. The two chief cloth centres of the southern sierra, the areas of Huamanga and Cuzco, by contrast, clearly displayed symptoms of decline during the same late colonial era. Dramatic price reductions in their main outlets in Upper Peru particularly from the 1760s as well as the repercussions of the Tupac Amaru rebellion in 1780-1783 fundamentally debilitated the industry. The onset of the struggle for independence in Upper Peru in 1809 and the 1814 upheaval in Cuzco further drained the sector of manpower and capital and frustrated the movement of merchandise along traditional routes. Factors like the incorporation of the Upper Peruvian silver mining centres into the newly established viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata in 1776 and the ensuing liberalization of transatlantic trade, which might have severely damaged the sector in a politically undisturbed period, were under the actual circumstances of no significant consequence. Large-scal~ textile production in viceregal Peru, formally supervl.sed and controlled by the crown, was performed in obrajes and chorrillos, manufacturing establishments distinguished from each other by the type of fulling mill in use. The plants were in general operated on the basis of a rigid division and control of labour and usually comprised a relatively large workforce.· Being the central part of a hacienda network, they were essentially a manifestation of the rural Spanish economy.~

description: Alongside huge volumes of research on deep learning models in NLP in the recent years, there has been also much work on benchmark datasets needed to track modeling progress. Question answering and reading comprehension have been particularly prolific in this regard, with over 80 new datasets appearing in the past two years. This study is the largest survey of the field to date. We provide an overview of the various formats and domains of the current resources, highlighting the current lacunae for future work. We further discuss the current classifications of "skills" that question answering/reading comprehension systems are supposed to acquire, and propose a new taxonomy. The supplementary materials survey the current multilingual resources and monolingual resources for languages other than English, and we discuss the implications of over-focusing on English. The study is aimed at both practitioners looking for pointers to the wealth of existing data, and at researchers working on new resources.

Locally smeared operator product expansions in scalar field theory

description: We propose a new locally smeared operator product expansion to decompose nonlocal operators in terms of a basis of smeared operators. The smeared operator product expansion formally connects nonperturbative matrix elements determined numerically using lattice field theory to matrix elements of nonlocal operators in the continuum. These nonperturbative matrix elements do not suffer from power-divergent mixing on the lattice, which significantly complicates calculations of quantities such as the moments of parton distribution functions, provided the smearing scale is kept fixed in the continuum limit. The presence of this smearing scale complicates the connection to the Wilson coefficients of the standard operator product expansion and requires the construction of a suitable formalism. We demonstrate the feasibility of our approach with examples in real scalar field theory.

Topological Order, Quantum Codes and Quantum Computation on Fractal Geometries

description: We investigate topological order on fractal geometries embedded in $n$ dimensions. In particular, we diagnose the existence of the topological order through the lens of quantum information and geometry, i.e., via its equivalence to a quantum error-correcting code with a macroscopic code distance or the presence of macroscopic systoles in systolic geometry. We first prove a no-go theorem that $\mathbb{Z}_N$ topological order cannot survive on any fractal embedded in 2D. For fractal lattice models embedded in 3D or higher spatial dimensions, $\mathbb{Z}_N$ topological order survives if the boundaries of the interior holes condense only loop or membrane excitations. Moreover, for a class of models containing only loop or membrane excitations, and are hence self-correcting on an $n$-dimensional manifold, we prove that topological order survives on a large class of fractal geometries independent of the type of hole boundaries. We further construct fault-tolerant logical gates using their connection to global and higher-form topological symmetries. In particular, we have discovered a logical CCZ gate corresponding to a global symmetry in a class of fractal codes embedded in 3D with Hausdorff dimension asymptotically approaching $D_H=2+ε$ for arbitrarily small $ε$, which hence only requires a space-overhead $Ω(d^{2+ε})$ with $d$ being the code distance. This in turn leads to the surprising discovery of certain exotic gapped boundaries that only condense the combination of loop excitations and gapped domain walls. We further obtain logical $\text{C}^{p}\text{Z}$ gates with $p\le n-1$ on fractal codes embedded in $n$D. In particular, for the logical $\text{C}^{n-1}\text{Z}$ in the $n^\text{th}$ level of Clifford hierarchy, we can reduce the space overhead to $Ω(d^{n-1+ε})$. Mathematically, our findings correspond to macroscopic relative systoles in fractals.

description: Investigation of the correlation between factors associated with crash development has enabled the implementation of methods aiming to avert and control crash causation at various points within the crash sequence (Evans, 2006). Partitioning the crash sequence is important because intricated crash causation sequences can be deconstructed and effective prevention strategies can be suggested (Wu & Thor, 2015). Towards this purpose, Tingvall et al. (2009) documented the so-called integrated safety chain which described the change of crash risk on the basis of a developing sequence of events that led to a collision. This thesis examines the crash sequence development and thus, the transition from normal driving to safety critical scenarios. [Continues.]
