description: A high-resolution study of the electromagnetic response of 206Pb below the neutron separation energy is performed using a (g,g) experiment at the HIgS facility. Nuclear resonance ﬂuorescence with 100% linearly polarized photon beams is used to measure spins, parities, branching ratios, and decay widths of excited states in 206Pb from 4.9to 8.1 MeV. The extracted B(E1) ↑ and B(M1) ↑ values for the total electric and magnetic dipole strength below the neutron separation energy are 0.9 ± 0.2e2 fm2 and 8.3 ± 2.0μ2N , respectively. These measurements are found to be in very good agreement with the predictions from an energy-density functional (EDF) plus quasiparticle phonon model (QPM). Such a detailed theoretical analysis allows to separate the pygmy dipole resonance from both the tail of the giant dipole resonance and multi-phonon excitations. Combined with earlier photonuclear experiments above the neutron separation energy, one extracts a value for the electric dipole polarizability of 206Pb of αD = 122 ± 10 mb/MeV. When compared to predictions from both the EDF+QPM aand a corresponding range for the slope of the symmetry energy of L = 48–60 MeV. This newly obtained information is also used to estimate the Maxwellian-averaged radiative cross section 205Pb(n, γ )206Pb at 30 keV to be σ = 130 ± 25 mb. The astrophysical impact of this measurement—on both the s-process in stellar nucleosynthesis and on the equation of state of neutron-rich matter—is discussed.

description: Motivated by the recent theoretical study of (bright) soliton diode effects in systems with multiple scatterers, as well as by experimental investigations of soliton-impurity interactions, we consider some prototypical case examples of interactions of dark solitons with a pair of scatterers. In a way fundamentally opposite to the case of bright solitons (but consonant to their “anti-particle character”), we find that dark solitons accelerate as they pass the first barrier and hence cannot be trapped by a second equal-height barrier. A pair of unequal barriers may lead to reflection from the second one, however trapping in the inter-barrier region cannot occur. We also give some examples of dynamical adjusting of the barriers to trap the dark soliton in the inter-barrier region, yet we show that this can only occur over finite time horizons, with the dark soliton always escaping eventually, contrary again to what is potentially the case with bright solitons.

description: In a network of nonlocally coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators with symmetry-breaking coupling, we study numerically, and explain analytically, a family of inhomogeneous steady states (oscillation death). They exhibit multi-cluster patterns, depending on the cluster distribution prescribed by the initial conditions. Besides stable oscillation death, we also find a regime of long transients asymptotically approaching synchronized oscillations. To explain these phenomena analytically in dependence on the coupling range and the coupling strength, we first use a mean-field approximation which works well for large coupling ranges but fails for coupling ranges which are small compared to the cluster size. Going beyond standard mean-field theory, we predict the boundaries of the different stability regimes as well as the transient times analytically in excellent agreement with numerical results.
Doubling of asymptotically flat half-spaces and the Riemannian Penrose inequality

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: Building on previous works of H. L. Bray, of P. Miao, and of S. Almaraz, E. Barbosa, and L. L. de Lima, we develop a doubling procedure for asymptotically flat half-spaces $(M,g)$ with horizon boundary $Σ\subset M$ and mass $m\in\mathbb{R}$. If $3\leq \dim(M)\leq 7$, $(M,g)$ has non-negative scalar curvature, and the boundary $\partial M$ is mean-convex, we obtain the Riemannian Penrose-type inequality $$ m\geq\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{n}{n-1}}\,\left(\frac{|Σ|}{ω_{n-1}}\right)^{\frac{n-2}{n-1}} $$ as a corollary. Moreover, in the case where $\partial M$ is not totally geodesic, we show how to construct local perturbations of $(M,g)$ that increase the scalar curvature. As a consequence, we show that equality holds in the above inequality if and only if the exterior region of $(M,g)$ is isometric to a Schwarzschild half-space. Previously, these results were only known in the case where $\dim(M)=3$ and $Σ$ is a connected free boundary hypersurface.

description: Dynamics of flexible non-Brownian fibers in shear flow at low-Reynolds-number are analyzed numerically for a wide range of the ratios A of the fiber bending force to the viscous drag force. Initially, the fibers are aligned with the flow, and later they move in the plane perpendicular to the flow vorticity. A surprisingly rich spectrum of different modes is observed when the value of A is systematically changed, with sharp transitions between coiled and straightening out modes, period-doubling bifurcations from periodic to migrating solutions, irregular dynamics and chaos.

description: This is a scanned copy of a document on Kogelberg research site KBE/3, site 3418BD, with photographs. The Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center (part of the former South African Forestry Research Institute) was established in 1935 at Jonkershoek, near Stellenbosch, under the directorship of Dr C. L. Wicht. The initial aim was to determine how forestry activities in state plantations would affect climate, water conservation and erosion, and was later expanded to include studies of fynbos ecology, fire and alien species. Studies from the 1930s to the early 1990s saw the accumulation of a large amount of data dealing with fire experiments, detailed vegetation plot surveys, rare plant surveys and ecological studies, hydrological studies and the development of management plans for catchments around the Western Cape. SAEON now houses the archive of data collected by the Jonkershoek Forestry Research Center, which was originally held by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).

description: Motivation: Prediction of phenotypes from high-dimensional data is a crucial task in precision biology and medicine. Many technologies employ genomic biomarkers to characterize phenotypes. However, such elements are not sufficient to explain the underlying biology. To improve this, pathway analysis techniques have been proposed. Nevertheless, such methods have shown lack of accuracy in phenotypes classification. Results: Here we propose a novel methodology called MITHrIL (Mirna enrIched paTHway Impact anaLysis) for the analysis of signaling pathways, which has built on top of the work of Tarca et al., 2009. MITHrIL extends pathways by adding missing regulatory elements, such as microRNAs, and their interactions with genes. The method takes as input the expression values of genes and/or microRNAs and returns a list of pathways sorted according to their deregulation degree, together with the corresponding statistical significance (p-values). Our analysis shows that MITHrIL outperforms its competitors even in the worst case. In addition, our method is able to correctly classify sets of tumor samples drawn from TCGA.

description: Slavery once served as the economic arteries of the American political Corpus. After gaining independence from Great Britain circa 1776, the former colonists needed a means to recover the societal devastation of war. The institution of slavery that had been imposed upon purported African Americans since 1619 served as the medium through which the American People reinvigorated their Body. Though undoubtedly lucrative and advantageous, it became an issue of violently divisive political intercourse, which gave way to the Civil War in 1861. As Union resources and personnel depleted, Abraham Lincoln strategically proclaimed freedom for "Black" men willing to assist in the military campaign against the Confederate States in 1863. It is the common misconception that slavery then ended and former slaves attained citizenship under the Constitution and laws of the United States of America. This paper explains why, legally, such is not the case.

description: Not all contracts are good, but all good contracts can be expressed as a finite-state transition system ("State-Transition Contracts"). Contracts that can be represented as State-Transition Contracts discretize fat-tailed risk to foreseeable, managed risk, define the boundary of relevant events governed by the relationship, and eliminate the potential of inconsistent contractual provisions. Additionally, State-Transition Contracts reap the substantial benefit of being able to be analyzed under the rules governing the science of the theory of computation. Simple State-Transition Contracts can be represented as discrete finite automata; more complicated State-Transition Contracts, such as those that have downstream effects on other agreements or complicated pathways of performance, benefit from representation as weighted finite-state transducers, with weights assigned as costs, penalties, or probabilities of transitions. This research paper (the "Research" or "Paper") presents a complex legal transaction represented as weighted finite-state transducers. Furthermore, we show that the mathematics/algorithms permitted by the algebraic structure of weighted finite-state transducers provides actionable, legal insight into the transaction.

description: With the rising demand for wireless services and increased awareness of the need for data protection, existing network traffic analysis and management architectures are facing unprecedented challenges in classifying and synthesizing the increasingly diverse services and applications. This paper proposes FS-GAN, a federated self-supervised learning framework to support automatic traffic analysis and synthesis over a large number of heterogeneous datasets. FS-GAN is composed of multiple distributed Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), with a set of generators, each being designed to generate synthesized data samples following the distribution of an individual service traffic, and each discriminator being trained to differentiate the synthesized data samples and the real data samples of a local dataset. A federated learning-based framework is adopted to coordinate local model training processes of different GANs across different datasets. FS-GAN can classify data of unknown types of service and create synthetic samples that capture the traffic distribution of the unknown types. We prove that FS-GAN can minimize the Jensen-Shannon Divergence (JSD) between the distribution of real data across all the datasets and that of the synthesized data samples. FS-GAN also maximizes the JSD among the distributions of data samples created by different generators, resulting in each generator producing synthetic data samples that follow the same distribution as one particular service type. Extensive simulation results show that the classification accuracy of FS-GAN achieves over 20% improvement in average compared to the state-of-the-art clustering-based traffic analysis algorithms. FS-GAN also has the capability to synthesize highly complex mixtures of traffic types without requiring any human-labeled data samples.

description: In a wide range of applications it is desirable to optimally control a dynamical system with respect to concurrent, potentially competing goals. This gives rise to a multiobjective optimal control problem where, instead of computing a single optimal solution, the set of optimal compromises, the so-called Pareto set, has to be approximated. When the problem under consideration is described by a partial differential equation (PDE), as is the case for fluid flow, the computational cost rapidly increases and makes its direct treatment infeasible. Reduced order modeling is a very popular method to reduce the computational cost, in particular in a multi query context such as uncertainty quantification, parameter estimation or optimization. In this article, we show how to combine reduced order modeling and multiobjective optimal control techniques in order to efficiently solve multiobjective optimal control problems constrained by PDEs. We consider a global, derivative free optimization method as well as a local, gradient based approach for which the optimality system is derived in two different ways. The methods are compared with regard to the solution quality as well as the computational effort and they are illustrated using the example of the two-dimensional incompressible flow around a cylinder.

description: The Alaska Arctic Vegetation Archive (AVA-AK, GIVD-ID: NA-US-014) is a free, publically available database archive of vegetation-plot data from the Arctic tundra region of northern Alaska. The archive currently contains 24 datasets with 3,026 non-overlapping plots. Of these, 74% have geolocation data with 25-m or better precision. Species cover data and header data are stored in a Turboveg database. A standardized Pan Arctic Species List provides a consistent nomenclature for vascular plants, bryophytes, and lichens in the archive. A web-based online Alaska Arctic Geoecological Atlas (AGA-AK) allows viewing and downloading the species data in a variety of formats, and provides access to a wide variety of ancillary data. We conducted a preliminary cluster analysis of the first 16 datasets (1,613 plots) to examine how the spectrum of derived clusters is related to the suite of datasets, habitat types, and environmental gradients. Here, we present the contents of the archive, assess its strengths and weaknesses, and provide three supplementary files that include the data dictionary, a list of habitat types, an overview of the datasets, and details of the cluster analysis.

description: This paper introduces a novel data-driven motion in-betweening system to reach target poses of characters by making use of phases variables learned by a Periodic Autoencoder. Our approach utilizes a mixture-of-experts neural network model, in which the phases cluster movements in both space and time with different expert weights. Each generated set of weights then produces a sequence of poses in an autoregressive manner between the current and target state of the character. In addition, to satisfy poses which are manually modified by the animators or where certain end effectors serve as constraints to be reached by the animation, a learned bi-directional control scheme is implemented to satisfy such constraints. The results demonstrate that using phases for motion in-betweening tasks sharpen the interpolated movements, and furthermore stabilizes the learning process. Moreover, using phases for motion in-betweening tasks can also synthesize more challenging movements beyond locomotion behaviors. Additionally, style control is enabled between given target keyframes. Our proposed framework can compete with popular state-of-the-art methods for motion in-betweening in terms of motion quality and generalization, especially in the existence of long transition durations. Our framework contributes to faster prototyping workflows for creating animated character sequences, which is of enormous interest for the game and film industry.

description: In the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico (NWGMx), subtidal rhodolith beds offshore Louisiana at 45–80 m depth harbor a diverse community of uncharacterized non-geniculate coralline algae including both biogenic and autogenic rhodoliths and other encrusting taxa. Identifying specimens to their correct genus and species is an ongoing process because many available names remain to be validated by comparison to type specimens. Here, comparative DNA sequencing ( psb A, UPA, and COI) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to assess the molecular and morphological diversity of the rhodolith-forming specimens belonging to the generic concept of Lithothamnion . Phylogenetic and species delimitation analyses of the newly generated sequences from recently dredged specimens at Ewing and Sackett Banks offshore Louisiana reveal the presence of at least six species of Lithothamnion , whose generic placement is confirmed by SEM images of features considered characteristic for the genus. More broadly, our analyses indicate at least eight Lithothamnion species are found in the Gulf of Mexico. Phylogenetic analyses of single ( psb A and COI) and concatenated markers ( psb A, COI and UPA) show that Lithothamnion is polyphyletic.

description: Spiking neural networks (SNNs) with event-based computation are promising brain-inspired models for energy-efficient applications on neuromorphic hardware. However, most supervised SNN training methods, such as conversion from artificial neural networks or direct training with surrogate gradients, require complex computation rather than spike-based operations of spiking neurons during training. In this paper, we study spike-based implicit differentiation on the equilibrium state (SPIDE) that extends the recently proposed training method, implicit differentiation on the equilibrium state (IDE), for supervised learning with purely spike-based computation, which demonstrates the potential for energy-efficient training of SNNs. Specifically, we introduce ternary spiking neuron couples and prove that implicit differentiation can be solved by spikes based on this design, so the whole training procedure, including both forward and backward passes, is made as event-driven spike computation, and weights are updated locally with two-stage average firing rates. Then we propose to modify the reset membrane potential to reduce the approximation error of spikes. With these key components, we can train SNNs with flexible structures in a small number of time steps and with firing sparsity during training, and the theoretical estimation of energy costs demonstrates the potential for high efficiency. Meanwhile, experiments show that even with these constraints, our trained models can still achieve competitive results on MNIST, CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and CIFAR10-DVS.

description: Luke Delaney interviews grandmother Suzanne Angelus, sharing her thoughts on energy, historical events, and personal spiritual experiences. Defining "subtle energy" as carried and radiated by the soul, Suzanne explains how her background in acupuncture and hypnosis released emotional traumas, including those from past lives. She reflects on living in Anchorage during Alaska’s oil boom, her father's work with the Federal Aviation Administration, and her involvement in real estate and politics. Suzanne recounts her experience during the 1964 Alaska earthquake, describing the devastation and challenges of survival. She also recalls her journey to Maui in the late 1970s, exploring alternative medicine and becoming certified in hypnosis. Suzanne touches on her trip to Moscow during the Cold War and surviving the Chernobyl disaster. A firm believer in past life regression, Suzanne discusses how these spiritual insights help sever generational patterns of trauma. She also expresses her distrust of nuclear energy and concern over its environmental impact.

description: The objective of this study was to assess potential functional attenuation or inactivation of the intra-S checkpoint during melanoma development. Proliferating cultures of skin melanocytes, fibroblasts and melanoma cell lines were exposed to increasing fluences of UVC and intra-S checkpoint responses were quantified. Melanocytes displayed stereotypic intra-S checkpoint responses to UVC qualitatively and quantitatively equivalent to those previously demonstrated in skin fibroblasts. In comparison to fibroblasts, primary melanocytes displayed reduced UVC-induced inhibition of DNA strand growth and enhanced degradation of p21Waf1 after UVC, suggestive of enhanced bypass of UVC-induced DNA photoproducts. All nine melanoma cell lines examined, including those with activating mutations in BRAF or and NRAS oncogenes, also displayed proficiency in activation of the intra-S checkpoint in response to UVC irradiation. The results indicate that bypass of oncogene-induced senescence during melanoma development was not associated with inactivation of the intra-S checkpoint response to UVC-induced DNA replication stress.

description: For a general class of gas models ---which includes discrete and continuous Gibbsian models as well as contour or polymer ensembles--- we determine a \emph{diluteness condition} that implies: (1) Uniqueness of the infinite-volume equilibrium measure; (2) stability of this measure under perturbations of parameters and discretization schemes, and (3) existence of a coupled perfect-simulation scheme for the infinite-volume measure together with its perturbations and discretizations. Some of these results have previously been obtained through methods based on cluster expansions. In contrast, our treatment is purely probabilistic and its diluteness condition is weaker than existing convergence conditions for cluster expansions.

description: We present the systematic analysis of the behavior of elastic pp scattering cross section in the region of the diffraction peak and the first diffraction minimum in the framework of quasi-eikonal Gribov-Regge approach, taking into account the unitarity condition. We use the formalism taking into consideration the dependence of pomeron signature factor on $t$. We show that although in this approach one can describe the general features of pp scattering, the behavior of pp elastic differential cross section in the vicinity of the first diffraction minimum measured by the TOTEM experiment at LHC can not be reproduced under any parameter values at standard assumptions of the model. Physically, in the quasi-eikonal Regge approach the proton proved to be "gray" and rather large, whereas the TOTEM data indicate that it is smaller and closer to "black" at LHC energies.

description: The concordance model of cosmology favours a universe with a tiny positive cosmological constant. A tiniest positive constant curvature, profoundly alters the asymptotic structure, forcing a re-look at a theory of gravitational radiation. Even for compact astrophysical sources, the intuition from Minkowski background is challenged at every step. Nevertheless, at least for candidate sources such as compact binaries, it is possible to quantify influence of the cosmological constant, as small corrections to the leading order Minkowski background results. Employing suitably chosen Fermi normal coordinates in the static patch of the de Sitter background, we compute the field due to a compact source to first order in $Λ$. For contrast, we also present the field in the Poincare patch where the leading correction is in $\sqrtΛ$. We introduce a gauge invariant quantity, {\em deviation scalar}, containing polarization information and compute it in both charts for a comparison.
