description: In this paper, we explore aggregative games over networks of multi-integrator agents with coupled constraints. To reach the general Nash equilibrium of an aggregative game, a distributed strategy-updating rule is proposed by a combination of the coordination of Lagrange multipliers and the estimation of the aggregator. Each player has only access to partial-decision information and communicates with his neighbors in a weight-balanced digraph which characterizes players' preferences as to the values of information received from neighbors. We first consider networks of double-integrator agents and then focus on multi-integrator agents. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy-updating rules is demonstrated by analyzing the convergence of corresponding dynamical systems via the Lyapunov stability theory, singular perturbation theory and passive theory. Numerical examples are given to illustrate our results.

description: The computational handling of Modern Standard Arabic is a challenge in the field of natural language processing due to its highly rich morphology. However, several authors have pointed out that the Arabic morphological system is in fact extremely regular. The existing Arabic morphological analyzers have exploited this regularity to variable extent, yet we believe there is still some scope for improvement. Taking inspiration in traditional Arabic prosody, we have designed and implemented a compact and simple morphological system which in our opinion takes further advantage of the regularities encountered in the Arabic morphological system. The output of the system is a large-scale lexicon of inflected forms that has subsequently been used to create an Online Interface for a morphological analyzer of Arabic verbs. The Jabalin Online Interface is available at http://elvira.lllf.uam.es/jabalin/, hosted at the LLI-UAM lab. The generation system is also available under a GNU GPL 3 license.

description: On-demand mobility services are promising to revolutionise urban travel, but preliminary studies are showing they may actually increase total vehicle miles travelled, worsening road congestion in cities. In this study, we assess the demand for on-demand mobility services in urban areas, using a stated preference survey, to understand the potential impact of introducing on-demand services on the current modal split. The survey was carried out in the Netherlands and offered respondents a choice between bike, car, public transport and ondemand services. 1,063 valid responses are analysed with a multinomial logit and a latent class choice model. By means of the latter, we uncover four distinctive groups of travellers based on the observed choice behaviour. The majority of the sample, the Sharing-ready cyclists (55%), are avid cyclists and do not see on-demand mobility as an alternative for making urban trips. Two classes, Tech-ready individuals (27%) and Flex-ready individuals (9%) would potentially use on-demand services: the former is fairly time-sensitive and would thus use on-demand service if they were sufficiently fast. The latter is highly costsensitive, and would therefore use the service primarily if it is cheap. The fourth class, Flex-sceptic individuals (9%) shows very limited potential for using on-demand services.

description: Mucormycosis is a serious fungal infection caused by fungi in the order of Mucorales. Orbital mucormycosis occurs more frequently in rhino-orbital, sino-orbital, and rhino-orbito-cerebral forms of the disease, while isolated orbital mucormycosis is much less common. Herein, we present four cases of immunocompetent children who developed primary cutaneous mucormycosis, which subsequently invaded and progressed to orbital mucormycosis following direct traumatic injury caused by pecking from Acridotheres tristis (Common Myna). Given the low prevalence of orbital mucormycosis in healthy children, an unknown source of infection and delayed diagnosis followed by late therapeutic interventions could result in life-threatening conditions and serious sequelae.

description: Since the devastating effect of HEMP on electronics in the military field has been known for a long time, all military systems are equipped with efficient protection against the impact of HEMP. However, HEMP is equally dangerous for all civil electronics used in almost every section of today's most important infrastructure of any country, for instance the power industry. Therefore, the opinion that all technical problems have long been solved by the military and you just need to use their solutions and their experience in the civilian sector can be heard often. It is a very common and very dangerous illusion in the author opinion. The article describes the problems associated with the use of military technology in the civilian sector and proposes an author’s strategy for protecting the civilian infrastructure.

description: We study the median slope selection problem in the oblivious RAM model. In this model memory accesses have to be independent of the data processed, i.e., an adversary cannot use observed access patterns to derive additional information about the input. We show how to modify the randomized algorithm of Matoušek (1991) to obtain an oblivious version with $\mathcal{O}(n \log^2 n)$ expected time for $n$ points in $\mathbb{R}^2$. This complexity matches a theoretical upper bound that can be obtained through general oblivious transformation. In addition, results from a proof-of-concept implementation show that our algorithm is also practically efficient.

description: BackgroundFitness costs and slower disease progression are associated with a cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) escape mutation T242N in Gag in HIV-1-infected individuals carrying HLA-B*57/5801 alleles. However, the impact of different context in diverse HIV-1 strains on the fitness costs due to the T242N mutation has not been well characterized. To better understand the extent of fitness costs of the T242N mutation and the repair of fitness loss through compensatory amino acids, we investigated its fitness impact in different transmitted/founder (T/F) viruses.ResultsThe T242N mutation resulted in various levels of fitness loss in four different T/F viruses. However, the fitness costs were significantly compromised by preexisting compensatory amino acids in (Isoleucine at position 247) or outside (glutamine at position 219) the CTL epitope. Moreover, the transmitted T242N escape mutant in subject CH131 was as fit as the revertant N242T mutant and the elimination of the compensatory amino acid I247 in the T/F viral genome resulted in significant fitness cost, suggesting the fitness loss caused by the T242N mutation had been fully repaired in the donor at transmission. Analysis of the global circulating HIV-1 sequences in the Los Alamos HIV Sequence Database showed a high prevalence of compensatory amino acids for the T242N mutation and other T cell escape mutations.ConclusionsOur results show that the preexisting compensatory amino acids in the majority of circulating HIV-1 strains could significantly compromise the fitness loss due to CTL escape mutations and thus increase challenges for T cell based vaccines.

description: The pi-pi scattering amplitude calculated with a model for the quark-antiquark interaction in the framework of the Covariant Spectator Theory (CST) is shown to satisfy the Adler zero constraint imposed by chiral symmetry. The CST formalism is established in Minkowski space and our calculations are performed in momentum space. We prove that the axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identity is satisfied by our model. Then we show that, similar to what happens within the Bethe-Salpeter formalism, application of the axial-vector Ward-Takahashi identity to the CST pi-pi scattering amplitude allows us to sum the intermediate quark-quark interactions to all orders. The Adler self-consistency zero for pi-pi scattering in the chiral limit emerges as the result for this sum.

description: A number of productive oil and gas fields are located in the Apsheron Peninsula of Azerbaijan. The primary goal of the presented study was to quantitatively assess the ground deformation rates of oil and gas fields, determine natural and man-made influencing factors and predict deformation trends. The determined maximum displacement rates of subsidence and uplift processes were −26 mm/y and +23 mm/y, respectively. However spatial density analysis of deformation velocity presented the natural patterns of uplift and subsidence tectonic processes. This allowed to determine that two oil and gas fields hold a higher probability of being affected by man-made oil and gas exploration activities, whereas the one oil field is affected by both natural and man-made processes.

description: Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) are of great interest as components of optoelectronic devices that can operate at the quantum limit. The charge configuration, interdot coupling, and symmetry of complexes containing multiple QDs can all be tuned with applied electric fields, but the magnitude and angle of the electric field required to control each of these parameters depends on the orientation of the QD complex. We present a 4-electrode device compatible with optical excitation and emission that allows application of electric fields with arbitrary magnitudes and angles relative to isolated QD complexes. We demonstrate the electric field tunability of this device with numerical simulations.

description: Polymer fibers are currently exploited in tremendously important technologies. Their innovative properties are mainly determined by the behavior of the polymer macromolecules under the elongation induced by external mechanical or electrostatic forces, characterizing the fiber drawing process. Although enhanced physical properties were observed in polymer fibers produced under strong stretching conditions, studies of the process-induced nanoscale organization of the polymer molecules are not available, and most of fiber properties are still obtained on an empirical basis. Here we reveal the orientational properties of semiflexible polymers in electrospun nanofibers, which allow the polarization properties of active fibers to be finely controlled. Modeling and simulations of the conformational evolution of the polymer chains during electrostatic elongation of semidilute solutions demonstrate that the molecules stretch almost fully within less than 1 mm from jet start, increasing polymer axial orientation at the jet center. The nanoscale mapping of the local dichroism of individual fibers by polarized near-field optical microscopy unveils for the first time the presence of an internal spatial variation of the molecular order, namely the presence of a core with axially aligned molecules and a sheath with almost radially oriented molecules. These results allow important and specific fiber properties to be manipulated and tailored, as here demonstrated for the polarization of emitted light.

description: The photoionization process of nitrogen was studied using the helium resonance line (584 Å) to excite nitrogen from the ground state to an excited ionic state. The transitions from the second excited state of the ion, N+2B2Σt+u to the ground state of the ion, N+2X2Σ+g, were of particular interest. The nitrogen fluorescence was spectrally analyzed in the region from 2000 Å to 5000 Å , to determine the most prominent bands of the first negative system. Two unresolved bands were observed: the v = 0 to v =.O band at 3914 Å, and the v = 0 to v = 1 band at 4278 Å. The intensity of the band at 3914 Å was greater by a factor of 40 from the intensity of the band at 4278 Å. Although the rotational structure of neither band was resolved, the shapes of the P and R branch envelopes were in agreement with calculated profiles.

title: Reasons for rescuing orphans, destitute, neglected or imperilled children : analysis of the work of the Waifs and Strays Society in the late nineteenth century
Creators: name: Skinner, Annie
Publisher: name: Strathprints - University of Strathclyde
Year: 2017

description: This article examines the early work of The Church of England Incorporated Society for Providing Homes for Waifs and Strays by assessing 6824 applications for children's admission to care in the late nineteenth-century. It is based on an archive study of records kept by the Children's Society in England and Wales between 1882 and 1899. A consistent in-depth analysis of the Waifs and Strays Society's policies in practice over 12 years is provided in parallel with the pressures families experienced during a time of harsh Poor Law policies. The focus identifies reasons why children were received into care from poor families when strong moral and political philosophies underpinned privileged professionals in power and in control of children's destinies. Also examined is how the Waifs and Strays Society's policies are reflected in the applications for care. The research addresses the gaps about the practice of the work of early social workers in the community.
Flow field tomography with uncertainty quantification using a Bayesian physics-informed neural network

description: We report a new approach to flow field tomography that uses the Navier-Stokes and advection-diffusion equations to regularize reconstructions. Tomography is increasingly employed to infer 2D or 3D fluid flow and combustion structures from a series of line-of-sight (LoS) integrated measurements using a wide array of imaging modalities. The high-dimensional flow field is reconstructed from low-dimensional measurements by inverting a projection model that comprises path integrals along each LoS through the region of interest. Regularization techniques are needed to obtain realistic estimates, but current methods rely on truncating an iterative solution or adding a penalty term that is incompatible with the flow physics to varying degrees. Physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) are new tools for inverse analysis that enable regularization of the flow field estimates using the governing physics. We demonstrate how a PINN can be leveraged to reconstruct a 2D flow field from sparse LoS-integrated measurements with no knowledge of the boundary conditions by incorporating the measurement model into the loss function used to train the network. The resulting reconstructions are remarkably superior to reconstructions produced by state-of-the-art algorithms, even when a PINN is used for post-processing. However, as with conventional iterative algorithms, our approach is susceptible to semi-convergence when there is a high level of noise. We address this issue through the use of a Bayesian PINN, which facilitates comprehensive uncertainty quantification of the reconstructions, enables the use of a more intuitive loss function, and reveals the source of semi-convergence.

On the momentum of solitons and vortex rings in a superfluid

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Gases (cond-mat.quant-gas)

description: This paper is devoted to the calculation of the momentum of localized excitations, such as solitons and vortex rings, moving in a superfluid. The direct calculation of the momentum by integration of the mass flux density results in a badly-converging integral. I suggest a method for the renormalization of the integral with the explicit separation of a term related to the vortex line. This term can be calculated explicitly and gives the main contribution for the rings whose size is large compared to the healing length. I compare my method with the Jones and Roberts prescription for the renormalization. I investigate the case of a uniform superfluid, and that of a superfluid in a cylindrical trap. I discuss the calculation of the jump in the phase of the order parameter and obtain a simple estimate for this jump for a large ring in the trap.

Trading away what kind of jobs? Globalization, trade and tasks in the US economy

description: Economists and other social scientists are calling for a reassessment of the impact of international trade on labor markets in developed and developing countries. Classical models of globalization and trade, based upon the international exchange of finished goods, fail to capture the fragmentation of much commodity production and the geographical separation of individual production tasks. This fragmentation, captured in the growing volume of intra-industry trade, prompts investigation of the effects of trade within, rather than between, sectors of the economy. In this paper we examine the relationship between international trade and the task structure of US employment. We link disaggregate US trade data from 1972 to 2006, the NBER manufacturing database, the Decennial Census, and occupational and task data from the Dictionary of Occupational Titles. Within-industry shifts in task characteristics are linked to import competition and technological change. Our results suggest that trade has played a major role in the growth in relative demand for nonroutine tasks, particularly those requiring high levels of interpersonal interaction.

These findings, which are surprising, reveal that physics ideas applied to biological problems ranging from folding to gene expression to cellular movement and communication between cells might lead to discovery of universal principles operating in adoptable living systems.

description: Seismic push causes low-frequency oscillations of structures. Since the structures have a large mass, inertia forces occur during oscillations, resulting in high mechanical stresses (compression-tension and shear)at different places of the structures, which can exceed the strength of the material at one place or another and lead to damage or even collapse of the entire structure. Under seismic influences, as a result of inertial forces, low-frequency vibrations of structures occur in structures, mechanical stresses are generated in various places of structures that exceed the strength of the material, and can lead to damage or to the collapse of the entire structure. For this reason, buildings with anti-seismic reinforcement of structural elements are being erected in seismic areas. A structure, as a free body in space, has six degrees of freedom and the corresponding vibration modes: three translational displacements (vertical and two horizontal) and three rotational displacements: pendulum oscillations, oscillations around the longitudinal axis; vibrations around the transverse axis; vibrations around the vertical axis. The vibrations of an arbitrary structure with a foundation are the result of the superposition of different vibration modes with free vibration frequencies. In this work for the first time the crustal layer oscillation is described, frequency of oscillations from wavelength is determined.

description: Cities need to cater for its citizens' needs. During the COVID-19 pandemic the value of urban space became evident. We questioned the use of space in our cities. From bottom-down tactical urbanism to top-down street interventions. Our streets saw a temporary redesign and often a transformation in its use - often without any planning and assessment. Planning practitioners need suitable tools in order to find neighbourhoods which are lacking to fulfil the walkable access to basic needs. With this in mind we developed an open-access 15-Minute accessibility score which can provide a quick scan in order to find vulnerable neighbourhoods in order to start the participation process. The neighbours should have the last say on the redesign of their neighbourhoods. Hence, co-designing and co-creating the ideal ±15-Minute City with its inhabitants is crucial. The Flowers of Proximity (where everyone is empowered to sketch their ideal ±15-Minute City) have been proven to be an easy and fun way of starting this discussion. All opinions from old to young, from locals to migrants, from mobility-reduced and gender inclusive need to be acknowledged and taking into account. Creating liveable, sustainable and resilient neighbourhoods should not be limited to the urban core, but might even more needed in the outskirts and rural areas. At the end it is not about 15-minutes, but about creating open and inclusive urban spaces for social interaction, while fulfilling citizens' needs.

description: The uncertainty of the energy measurement of the electron beam on circular electron positron collider (CEPC) must be smaller than 10$\mathrm{MeV}$ to make sure the accurate measurement of the mass of the Higgs boson. In order to simplify the energy measurement system, a new method is proposed by fitting the Compton edge of the energy distribution of the gamma ray from a microwave-electron Compton scattering. With our method, the uncertainty of the energy measurement is 6$\mathrm{MeV}$ for the electron energy of $120\mathrm{GeV}$ in the Higgs mode. In this system, the energy resolution of the gamma detection needs to reach $10^{-4}$. Therefore, only the high-purity germanium (HPGe) detector can meet the critical requirement. In a head-on collision mode, the initial photons should be microwave photons with the wavelength of 3.04 centimeters. A cylindrical resonant cavity with selected ${TM_{010}}$ mode is used to transmit microwaves. After the microwave-electron Compton backscattering, the scattered photons and the synchrotron-radiation background transmit a shielding structure and then are detected by a HPGe detector at the end of the beam line of the synchrotron-radiation applications. The hole radius in the side wall of the cavity is about $1.5\mathrm{mm}$ to allow the electron beam passing through. The results of the computer simulation technology (CST) software shows that the influence of the hole radius on the cavity field is negligible. The change of the resonance frequency can be easily corrected by fine-tuning the cavity size.

description: One of the major motivations to search for a dark gauge boson of MeV-GeV scale is the long-standing muon g-2 anomaly. Because of active searches such as fixed target experiments and rare meson decays, the muon g-2 favored parameter region has been rapidly reduced. With the most recent data, it is practically excluded now in the popular dark photon model. We overview the issue and investigate a potentially alternative model based on the gauged lepton number or U(1)_L. The muon g-2 favored parameter region of the U(1)_L survives all the constraints that were critical in the dark photon case, yet it is disfavored by the new constraints from the large flux neutrino experiments.

The UVMag space project: UV and visible spectropolarimetry of massive stars
Creators: name: Neiner, Coralie

Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)

description: UVMag is a medium-size space telescope equipped with a high-resolution spectropolarimeter working in the UV and visible domains. It will be proposed to ESA for a future M mission. It will allow scientists to study all types of stars as well as e.g. exoplanets and the interstellar medium. It will be particularly useful for massive stars, since their spectral energy distribution peaks in the UV. UVMag will allow us to study massive stars and their circumstellar environment (in particular the stellar wind) spectroscopically in great details. Moreover, with UVMag's polarimetric capabilities we will be able, for the first time, to measure the magnetic field of massive stars simultaneously at the stellar surface and in the wind lines, i.e. to completely map their magnetosphere.

Adiponectin signaling in the liver

Year: 2014

description: High glucose production contributes to fed and fasted hyperglycemia in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and Type 2 Diabetes (T2D). The breakdown of the adiponectin signaling pathway in T1D and the reduction of circulating adiponectin in T2D contribute to this abnormal increase in glucose production. Sufficient amounts of insulin could compensate for the loss of adiponectin signaling in T1D and T2D and reduce hyperglycemia. However, the combination of low adiponectin signaling and high insulin resembles an insulin resistance state associated with cardiovascular disease and decreased life expectancy. Future development of medications that correct the deficiency of adiponectin signaling in the liver could restore the metabolic balance in T1D and T2D and reduce the need for insulin. This article reviews the adiponectin signaling pathway in the liver through T-cadherin, AdipoR1, AdipoR2, AMPK, ceramidase activity, APPL1 and the recently discovered Suppressor Of Glucose from Autophagy (SOGA).

description: The embankment dam on Lake Boyuk-Shor is designed for a highway and divides the lake into two parts. Engineering and geological studies have revealed a complex structure of the soil base of the dam and high seismicity. Studies of the stability of the dam slopes under the PLAXIS 2D program have shown their reliable stability. Studies of the sediment of the body of the dam and its soil base according to the PLAXIS 2D program have shown that the sediment of both the dam and its soil base is acceptable for this class of structures.

description: Bulk La_wCoO3 particles with w=1.1, 1.0, 0.9, 0.8, and 0.7 were synthesized using starting materials with varying molar ratios of La2O3 and Co3O4. The resulting particles are characterized as LaCoO3 crystals interfaced with a crystalline Co3O4 phase. X-ray and neutron scattering data show little effect on the average structure and lattice parameters of the LaCoO3 phase resulting from the Co3O4 content, but magnetization data indicate that the amount of Co3O4 strongly affects the ferromagnetic ordering at the interfaces below T_C ~89K. In addition to ferromagnetic long-range order, LaCoO3 exhibits antiferromagnetic behavior with an unusual temperature dependence. The magnetization for fields 20 Oe < H < 5 kOe is fit to a combination of a power law ((T-T_C)/T_C)^beta behavior representing the ferromagnetic long-range order and sigmoid-convoluted Curie-Weiss-like behavior representing the antiferromagnetic behavior. The critical exponent beta=0.63 +- 0.02 is consistent with 2D (surface) ordering. Increased Co3O4 correlates well to increased ferromagnetism. The weakening of the antiferromagnetism below T ~ 40K is a consequence of the lattice reaching a critical rhombahedral distortion as T is decreased for core regions far from the Co3O4 interfaces. We introduce a model that describes the ferromagnetic behavior of the interface regions and the unusual antiferromagnetism of the core regions.

description: We introduce an extended class of cross-Toeplitz operators which act between Fock--Segal--Bargmann spaces with different weights. It is natural to consider these operators in the framework of representation theory of the Heisenberg group. Our main technique is representation of cross-Toeplitz by two-sided relative convolutions from the Heisenberg group. In turn, two-sided convolutions are reduced to usual (one-sided) convolutions on the Heisenberg group of the doubled dimensionality. This allows us to utilise the powerful group-representation technique of coherent states, co- and contra-variant transforms, twisted convolutions, symplectic Fourier transform, etc.We discuss connections of (cross-)Toeplitz operators with pseudo-differential operators, localisation operators in time-frequency analysis, and characterisation of kernels in terms of ladder operators. The paper is written in detailed and reasonably self-contained manner to be suitable as an introduction into group-theoretical methods in phase space and time-frequency operator theory.

description: The new scheme of the energy measurement of the extremely high energy electron beam with the inverse Compton scattering between electrons and microwave photons requires the precise calculation of the interaction cross section of electrons and microwave photons in a resonant cavity. In the local space of the cavity, the electromagnetic field is expressed by Bessel functions. Although Bessel functions can form a complete set of orthogonal basis, it is difficult to quantify them directly as fundamental wave functions. Fortunately, with the Fourier expansion of Bessel functions, the local electromagnetic field can be considered as the superposition of a series of plane waves. Therefore, with corresponding corrections of the cross section formula of the classical Compton scattering, the cross section of the linear or nonlinear microwave Compton scattering in the local space can be described accurately. As an important application of our results in astrophysics, corresponding ground verification devices can be designed to perform experimental verifications on the prediction of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Our results could also provide a new way to generate wave sources with strong practical value, such as the terahertz waves, the ultra-violet (EUV) waves, or the mid-infrared beams.

HIV-1 pathogenesis and therapeutic intervention in the SCID-hu Thy/Liv mouse: a model for primary HIV-1 infection in the human thymus
Creators: name: Su, Lishan
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries

description: The SCID-hu Thy/Liv mouse is a model for the analysis of human thymopoiesis. It has been constructed by engrafting fragments of human fetal liver and thymus into the immunodeficient C.B-17 scid/scid (SCID) mouse. The resulting ‘Thy/Liv’ organ promotes long-term differentiation of human T cells. Given the apparently normal physiology of the SCID-hu Thy/Liv organ, it has been used to explore the pathophysiologic mechanisms of HIV-1 infection in vivo, and to test therapeutic modalities such as anti-HIV-1 drugs and haematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-based gene therapy. In this review, I will summarise what we have learned from the SCID-hu Thy/Liv model, with a focus on recent findings in HIV-1 replication and therapy. Unique HIV-1 determinants have been identified which are required for replication in the Thy/Liv organ but not for replication in PBMC or in T cell lines in vitro. The mechanism of HIV-1 induced thymus depletion is not clear. It is correlated with high levels of HIV-1 replication. Both direct and indirect mechanisms may be involved. In addition to preclinical evaluation of anti-HIV-1 drugs, the SCID-hu Thy/Liv mouse has also been successfully used to test the feasibility of HSC-based gene therapy.
