description: In the last years there has been a growing interest for nonlinear speech models. Several works have been published revealing the better performance of nonlinear techniques, but little attention has been dedicated to the implementation of the nonlinear model into real applications. This work is focused on the study of the behaviour of a nonlinear predictive model based on neural nets, in a speech waveform coder. Our novel scheme obtains an improvement in SEGSNR between 1 and 2 dB for an adaptive quantization ranging from 2 to 5 bits.

description: In this paper, we discuss new results related to the generalized discrete $q$-Hermite II polynomials $ \tilde h_{n,α}(x;q)$, introduced by Mezlini et al. in 2014. Our aim is to give a continuous orthogonality relation, a $q$-integral representation and an evaluation at unity of the Poisson kernel, for these polynomials. Furthermore, we introduce $q$-Schrödinger operators and give the raising and lowering operator algebra corresponding to these polynomials. Our results generate a new explicit realization of the quantum algebra $\mathsf{su}_{q}(1, 1)$, using the generators associated with a $q$-deformed generalized para-Bose oscillator.

description: This paper improves the speaker recognition rates of a MLP classifier and LPCC codebook alone, using a linear combination between both methods. In simulations we have obtained an improvement of 4.7% over a LPCC codebook of 32 vectors and 1.5% for a codebook of 128 vectors (error rate drops from 3.68% to 2.1%). Also we propose an efficient algorithm that reduces the computational complexity of the LPCC-VQ system by a factor of 4.

description: Using a unique dataset, this paper analyses the causes and impacts of bribery in the informal sector in West Africa. It investigates the determinants of the incidence of bribery and the magnitude of the bribes actually paid. Our results show that the mechanisms at play are no different than those found for the formal sector by other authors. With respect to the impacts of corruption on a firm’s performance, our findings show that experience of corruption increases business performance, but that this effect is driven by just one category of informal firm: constrained gazelles.

description: The Big Data phenomenon has spawned large-scale linear programming problems. In many cases, these problems are non-stationary. In this paper, we describe a new scalable algorithm called NSLP for solving high-dimensional, non-stationary linear programming problems on modern cluster computing systems. The algorithm consists of two phases: Quest and Targeting. The Quest phase calculates a solution of the system of inequalities defining the constraint system of the linear programming problem under the condition of dynamic changes in input data. To this end, the apparatus of Fejer mappings is used. The Targeting phase forms a special system of points having the shape of an n-dimensional axisymmetric cross. The cross moves in the n-dimensional space in such a way that the solution of the linear programming problem is located all the time in an "-vicinity of the central point of the cross.

description: Cytoskeletal filaments are capable of self-assembly in the absence of externally supplied chemical energy, but the rapid turnover rates essential for their biological function require a constant flux of ATP or GTP hydrolysis. The same is true for two-dimensional protein assemblies employed in the formation of vesicles from cellular membranes, which rely on ATP-hydrolyzing enzymes to rapidly disassemble upon completion of the process. Recent observations suggest that the nucleolus, p granules and other three-dimensional membraneless organelles may also demand dissipation of chemical energy to maintain their fluidity. Cooperative binding plays a crucial role in the dynamics of these higher-dimensional structures, but is absent from classic models of 1-dimensional cytoskeletal assembly. In this Letter, we present a thermodynamically consistent model of actively regeneration with cooperative assembly, and compute the maximum turnover rate and minimum disassembly time as a function of the chemical driving force and the binding energy. We find that these driven structures resemble different equilibrium states above and below the nucleation barrier. In particular, we show that the maximal acceleration under large binding energies unites infinite-temperature local fluctuations with low-temperature nucleation kinetics.

description: Metagenomic approach permits us to obtain the latent resources from culturable and unculturable microorganisms in ecosystem. In this study, high-throughput sequencing was practiced to comprehensively probe prokaryotic community within extreme acidic environment of Baiyin open-pit mine stope, which varied in pH and other physicochemical parameters. Bioinformatics analysis was further accomplished to process millions of Illumina reads and analyzed alpha and beta diversities, and prokaryotic community profile in different samples obtained from the acidic mine stope. Diversity indices such as ACE, Chao, Shannon, and Simpson were varied among samples. Both taxon richness and evenness were significantly higher in the solid samples than that of the water samples. Taxonomic diversity was unexpectedly higher within confined pit ecosystem. Most of the sequences were assigned to phyla Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, and Acidobacteria. In archaea, Euryarchaeota and Thaumarchaeota were major phyla reported, however, archaea occupied very little share in the metagenome. At class level, variation in community structure was higher within samples. Among iron- and sulfur-related acidophiles, 30.8% of the sequences were unidentified at genera level, while the remaining were dominated by sulfur and/or iron oxidizing Acidithiobacillus and heterotrophic Acidiphilum related groups. The community profile of solid and water groups was different and metagenomic biomarkers were higher in solid, while acidophiles and archaea were reported only in water group by using LEfSe. Among samples, community structure and abundance was varied in terms of OTUs abundance, which clearly indicates spatial variation and proposed the influence of physicochemical and geochemical properties on phylogenetic diversity. This study offers numerous treasured datasets for better understanding the community composition under the influence of geochemical and physicochemical factors and possible novelty in terms of taxonomic/phylogenetic diversity in acidic ecosystem.

description: A profile comparison method with position-specific scoring matrix (PSSM) is one of the most accurate alignment methods. Currently, cosine similarity and correlation coefficient are used as scoring functions of dynamic programming to calculate similarity between PSSMs. However, it is unclear that these functions are optimal for profile alignment methods. At least, by definition, these functions cannot capture non-linear relationships between profiles. Therefore, in this study, we attempted to discover a novel scoring function, which was more suitable for the profile comparison method than the existing ones. Firstly we implemented a new derivative free neural network by combining the conventional neural network with evolutionary strategy optimization method. Next, using the framework, the scoring function was optimized for aligning remote sequence pairs. Nepal, the pairwise profile aligner with the novel scoring function significantly improved both alignment sensitivity and precision, compared to aligners with the existing functions. Nepal improved alignment quality because of adaptation to remote sequence alignment and increasing the expressive power of similarity score. The novel scoring function can be realized using a simple matrix operation and easily incorporated into other aligners. With our scoring function, the performance of homology detection and/or multiple sequence alignment for remote homologous sequences would be further improved.

description: Two new coordination polymers constructed from 5-sulfoisophthalic acid sodium salt (NaH2SIPA) and Co or Cu cations, [Co3(SIPA)2(4,4′-bpy)4(H2O)6]·4H2O (1) and [Cu6O3(HSIPA)3(4,4′-bpy)6(H2O)3]·7H2O (2), have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and elemental analysis. Compound 1 represents a twofold-interpenetrating 3-D framework based on Co, SIPA, and 4,4′-bipyridine ligands with a qzd topology. Different from 1, compound 2 shows a 3-D self-penetrating framework based on Cu, HSIPA, and 4,4′-bipyridine ligands. Furthermore, the photocatalytic performance in reduction of CO2 of 1 under visible light was investigated.

description: This work reports an experimental study on an antiferromagnetic honeycomb lattice of MnPS$_3$ that couples the valley degree of freedom to a macroscopic antiferromagnetic order. The crystal structure of MnPS$_3$ is identified by high resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy. Layer dependent angle resolved polarized Raman fingerprints of the MnPS$_3$ crystal are obtained and the Raman peak at 383 cm$^{-1}$ exhibits 100% polarity. Temperature dependences of anisotropic magnetic susceptibility of MnPS$_3$ crystal are measured in superconducting quantum interference device. Magnetic parameters like effective magnetic moment, and exchange interaction are extracted from the mean field approximation mode. Ambipolar electronic transport channels in MnPS$_3$ are realized by the liquid gating technique. The conducting channel of MnPS$_3$ offers a unique platform for exploring the spin/valleytronics and magnetic orders in 2D limitation.

description: Functionalization of photocatalytic metal oxide nanoparticles of TiO2, ZnO, WO3 and CuO with amine-terminated (oleylamine) and thiol-terminated (1-dodecanethiol) alkyl chained ligands was studied under ambient conditions. A high selectivity was observed in the binding specificity of a ligand towards nanoparticles of these different oxides. It was observed that oleylamine binds stably to only TiO2 and WO3, while 1-dodecanethiol binds stably only to ZnO and CuO. Similarly, polar to non-polar solvent phase transfer of TiO2 and WO3 nanoparticles could be achieved by using oleylamine, but not by 1-dodecanethiol, while the contrary holds for ZnO and CuO. The surface chemistry of ligand functionalized nanoparticles was probed by ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, that enabled to elucidate the occupation of the ligands at the active sites. The photo-stability of the ligands on the nanoparticle surface was determined by the photocatalytic self-cleaning properties of the material. While TiO2 and WO3 degrade the ligands within 24 hours under both UV and visible light, ligands on ZnO and CuO remain unaffected. The gathered insights are also highly relevant from an application point of view. As an example, since the ligand functionalized nanoparticles are hydrophobic in nature, they can thus be self-assembled at the air-water interface, for obtaining nanoparticle films with demonstrated photocatalytic as well as anti-fogging properties.

description: Rainfed lowland rice fields are characterized by soil moisture fluctuations (SMF) and the presence of hardpan that impedes deep rooting and thus limits water extraction from deep soil layer during the periods of drought. In this study, we used rootboxes with three layers; shallow layer, artificial hardpan, and deep and wet layer below the hardpan, to evaluate differences in the plasticity of nodal roots elongation through the hardpan and promote root branching below the hardpan in response to SMF among four rice varieties; Sasanishiki, Habataki, Nipponbare, and Kasalath. Experiments were conducted during the summer and autumn seasons. Plasticity was computed as the difference in root traits within each variety between the SMF and continuously well-watered treatments. In both experiments, Habataki consistently tended to exhibit higher root plasticity than the other three varieties by increasing number of nodal roots that penetrated the hardpan during rewatering period in SMF, when the soil moisture increased and penetration resistance decreased. This root plasticity then contributed to greater water use at the deeper soil during the subsequent drought period and overall shoot dry matter production. Habataki had significantly higher δ13C value in roots at deep layer than roots at the shallow and hardpan layers under SMF, which may indicate that these were relatively newly grown roots as a consequence of root plasticity. This study also indicates that CSSLs derived from Sasanishiki and Habataki varieties may be suitable for the analysis of QTLs associated with root plasticity expression in rainfed lowland with hardpan and experiencing SMF.

description: We investigate the capabilities of the ESA Gaia mission for detecting and character- izing short timescale variability, from tens of seconds to a dozen hours. We assess the efficiency of the variogram analysis, for both detecting short timescale variability and estimating the underlying characteristic timescales from Gaia photometry, through extensive light-curve simulations for various periodic and transient short timescale variable types. We show that, with this approach, we can detect fast periodic variabil- ity, with amplitudes down to a few millimagnitudes, as well as some M dwarf flares and supernovae explosions, with limited contamination from longer timescale variables or constant sources. Timescale estimates from the variogram give valuable informa- tion on the rapidity of the underlying variation, which could complement timescale estimates from other methods, like Fourier-based periodograms, and be reinvested in preparation of ground-based photometric follow-up of short timescale candidates evi- denced by Gaia. The next step will be to find new short timescale variable candidates from real Gaia data, and to further characterize them using all the Gaia information, including color and spectrum.

Silver-Gold Bimetallic Alloy versus Core-Shell Nanoparticles: Implications for Plasmonic Enhancement and Photothermal Applications

description: Bimetallic plasmonic nanoparticles enable tuning of the optical response and chemical stability by variation of the composition. The present numerical simulation study compares Ag-Au alloy, Ag@Au core-shell, and Au@Ag core-shell bimetallic plasmonic nanoparticles of both spherical and anisotropic (nanotriangle and nanorods) shapes. By studying both spherical and anisotropic (with LSPR in the near-infrared region) shapes, cases with and without interband transitions of Au can be decoupled. Explicit comparisons are facilitated by numerical models supported by careful validation and examination of optical constants of Au-Ag alloys reported in literature. Although both Au-Ag core-shell and alloy nanoparticles exhibit an intermediary optical response between that of pure Ag and Au nanoparticles, there are noticeable differences in the spectral characteristics. Also, the effect of the bimetallic constitution in anisotropic nanoparticles is starkly different from that in spherical nanoparticles due to the absence of Au interband transitions in the former case. In general, the improved chemical stability of Ag nanoparticles by incorporation of Au comes with a cost of reduction in plasmonic enhancement, also applicable to anisotropic nanoparticles with a weaker effect. A photothermal heat transfer study confirms that increased absorption by the incorporation of Au in spherical Ag nanoparticles also results in an increased steady state temperature. On the other hand, anisotropic nanoparticles are inherently better absorbers, hence better photothermal sources and their photothermal properties are apparently not strongly affected by the incorporation of one metal in the other.

description: Large expansions of a noncoding GGGGCC repeat in the C9orf72 gene are the main cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The GGGGCC repeat is contiguous with another GC-rich region. Recent studies reported a significantly higher frequency of insertions/deletions within the GC-rich region in patients carrying the GGGGCC expansion. A GTGGT motif comprised within the GC-rich region, which joins two 100% GC sequences, was frequently deleted, supporting the hypothesis that these deletions could make the region more prone to slippage and pathological expansion. To confirm this hypothesis, we sequenced the GC-rich region adjacent the GGGGCC repeat in ALS patients, 116 C9orf72 expansion carriers, 219 non-carriers, and 223 healthy controls, from Italian and Turkish cohorts. Deletions were significantly more frequent in C9orf72 expansion carriers (6%) compared to non-carrier ALS patients (0.46%, OR =14.00, 95% CI =1.71–306.59, p = 0.003), to controls (0%, OR =16.29, 95% CI =2.12–725.99, p = 4.86 × 10−4) and to the whole cohort of non-carriers (0.2%, OR =28.51, 95% CI =3.47–618.91, p = 9.58 × 10−5). Among expansion carriers, deletions with or without the GTGGT motif were equally distributed (4 vs. 3). The frequency of insertions was not statistically different between C9orf72 expansion carriers and any other group including the whole cohort of non-carriers (p = 0.439, Fisher’s exact test). Our data confirmed the association between deletions within GC-rich region and the GGGGCC expansion in Italian and Turkish cases, although we did not confirm a role of the GTGGT element deletion. Further studies will be therefore necessary to assess the causal relationships between contiguous deletions of the GC-rich region and the GGGGCC expansion.

description: We consider a class of magnetic fields defined over the interior of a manifold $M$ which go to infinity at its boundary and whose direction near the boundary of $M$ is controlled by a closed 1-form $σ_\infty \in Γ(T^*\partial M)$. We are able to show that charged particles in the interior of $M$ under the influence of such fields can only escape the manifold through the zero locus of $σ_\infty$. In particular in the case where the 1-form is nowhere vanishing we conclude that the particles become confined to its interior for all time.

description: Electricity plays a special role in our lives and life. Equations of electron dynamics are nearly exact and apply from nuclear particles to stars. These Maxwell equations include a special term the displacement current (of vacuum). Displacement current allows electrical signals to propagate through space. Displacement current guarantees that current is exactly conserved from inside atoms to between stars, as long as current is defined as Maxwell did, as the entire source of the curl of the magnetic field. We show how the Bohm formulation of quantum mechanics allows easy definition of current. We show how conservation of current can be derived without mention of the polarization or dielectric properties of matter. Matter does not behave the way physicists of the 1800's thought it does with a single dielectric constant, a real positive number independent of everything. Charge moves in enormously complicated ways that cannot be described in that way, when studied on time scales important today for electronic technology and molecular biology. Life occurs in ionic solutions in which charge moves in response to forces not mentioned or described in the Maxwell equations, like convection and diffusion. Classical derivations of conservation of current involve classical treatments of dielectrics and polarization in nearly every textbook. Because real dielectrics do not behave in a classical way, classical derivations of conservation of current are often distrusted or even ignored. We show that current is conserved exactly in any material no matter how complex the dielectric, polarization or conduction currents are. We believe models, simulations, and computations should conserve current on all scales, as accurately as possible, because physics conserves current that way. We believe models will be much more successful if they conserve current at every level of resolution, the way physics does.

description: The concepts of symmetry and its breakdown are investigated in two different terms according to whether the resulting asymmetry is universal or only obtained for a special configuration: we shall illustrate this by considering in the first case an example from the standard model of particles with some consequences for cosmological scenarios related to inflation and the problem of the cosmological constant, and in the second case we consider an example from specific solutions for particle dynamics and an example for a toy model of entangled spins.

description: Recently Bandos, Lechner, Sorokin, and Townsend [Phys. Rev. D \textbf{102}, 121703 (2020)] proposed Modified Maxwell (ModMax) model of nonlinear duality-invariant conformal electrodynamics. Here, Generalized ModMax (GenModMax) model of nonlinear electrodynamics coupled to general relativity is studied. The metric and mass functions, and their asymptotic as $r\rightarrow\infty$ and $r\rightarrow 0$ of a magnetic black hole are obtained. Corrections to the Reissner--Nordström solution are found and we show that for some model parameters the black hole is regular. The Hawking temperature and heat capacity of black holes are calculated and phase transitions are investigated. We demonstrate that black holes are not stable for certain model parameters.

description: A cylindrical GEM detector is under development, to serve as an upgraded inner tracker at the BESIII spectrometer. It will consist of three layers of cylindrically-shaped triple GEMs surrounding the interaction point. The experiment is taking data at the e+e- collider BEPCII in Beijing (China) and the GEM tracker will be installed in 2018. Tests on the performances of triple GEMs in strong magnetic field have been run by means of the muon beam available in the H4 line of SPS (CERN) with both planar chambers and the first cylindrical prototype. Efficiencies and resolutions have been evaluated using different gains, gas mixtures, with and without magnetic field. The obtained efficiency is 97-98% on single coordinate view, in many operational arrangements. The spatial resolution for planar GEMs has been evaluated with two different algorithms for the position determination: the charge centroid and the micro time projection chamber (mu-TPC) methods. The two modes are complementary and are able to cope with the asymmetry of the electron avalanche when running in magnetic field, and with non-orthogonal incident tracks. With the charge centroid, a resolution lower than 100 micron has been reached without magnetic field and lower than 200 micron with a magnetic field up to 1 T. The mu-TPC mode showed to be able to improve those results. In the first beam test with the cylindrical prototype, the detector had a very good stability under different voltage configurations and particle intensities. The resolution evaluation is in progress.

"His blood be on us and on our children!” Matthean irony and the ratification of covenant through blood

description: This thesis addresses the interpretive problem of Matt 27:25: And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” Historically, the verse has been understood as condemning all Israel and so associated with anti-Judaism, anti-Semitism and sometimes justifying Jewish persecution. While recent scholarship attempts to distance the verse’s meaning from a tradition of “national curse” or “blood guilt” by instead directing the author’s intention in judgement upon Jerusalem, its cultic system and/or the Matthean community’s ideological opponents, such interpretations fail to do justice to the narrative. This is primarily due to the use of language in Matt 27:25 (πᾶς ὁ λαὸς, “all the people”), which seems to intentionally signify “Israel”. The interpretation favoured by this thesis is one grounded in an ironic, particularly double-entendre, reading of the text. Its is argued that Matt 27:25 is part of the Gospel’s recapitulation of the Mosaic covenant at Sinai, signalled at the Last Supper and fulfilling Jesus’ function in the narrative as a second Moses. The people’s cry is an anticipated response that seals the compact (the sacrificial blood is upon them and their children); however, remaining within Christ’s reformed covenant requires obeying his commandments (to find blessing) or else fall under judgement.
