description: We have performed deformed Hartree-Fock+BCS calculations with the Skyrme SIII force for the ground states of even-even nuclei with 2 <= Z <= 114 and N ranging from outside the proton drip line to beyond the experimental frontier in the neutron-rich side. We obtained spatially localized solutions for 1029 nuclei, together with the second minima for 758 nuclei. The single-particle wavefunctions are expressed in a three-dimensional Cartesian-mesh representation, which is suitable to describe nucleon skins, halos, and exotic shapes as well as properties of ordinary stable nuclei. After explaining some of the practical procedures of the calculations, we compare the resulting nuclear masses with experimental data and the predictions of other models. We also discuss the quadrupole (m=0, 2) and hexadecapole (m=0, 2, 4) deformations, the skin thicknesses, the halo radii, and the energy difference between the oblate and the prolate solutions. Our results can be obtained via computer network.

description: In this brief sequel to a previous article, we recall the notion of a cut cellular surface (CCS), being a surface with boundary, which is cut in a specified way to be represented in the plane, and is composed of 0-, 1- and 2-cells. We obtain invariants of CCS's under Pachner-like moves on the cellular structure, by counting colourings of the 1- and 2-cells with elements of a finite 2-group, subject to a "fake flatness" condition for each 2-cell. These invariants, which extend Yetter's invariants to this class of surfaces, are also described in a TQFT setting. A result from the previous article concerning the commuting fraction of a group is generalized to the 2-group context.

description: We consider the dynamics of a protostellar disc in a binary system where the disc is misaligned with the orbital plane of the binary, with the aim of determining the observational consequences for such systems. The disc wobbles with a period approximately equal to half the binary's orbital period and precesses on a longer timescale. We determine the characteristic timescale for realignment of the disc with the orbital plane due to dissipation. If the dissipation is determined by a simple isotropic viscosity then we find, in line with previous studies, that the alignment timescale is of order the viscous evolution timescale. However, for typical protostellar disc parameters, if the disc tilt exceeds the opening angle of the disc, then tidally induced shearing within the disc is transonic. In general, hydrodynamic instabilities associated with the internally driven shear result in extra dissipation which is expected to drastically reduce the alignment timescale. For large disc tilts the alignment timescale is then comparable to the precession timescale, while for smaller tilt angles $δ$, the alignment timescale varies as $(\sin δ)^{-1}$. We discuss the consequences of the wobbling, precession and rapid realignment for observations of protostellar jets and the implications for binary star formation mechanisms.

description: Healthy aging is characterized by changes in the structure and quality of sleep. Cognitive decline can be accelerated when changes in sleep become substantial, even in the absence of obvious pathology. Studies with an epidemiological or clinical design have identified a significant relationship between the degree of sleep disturbance and the severity of the impairment of selective cognitive functions. It has been observed that there is a bi-directional relationship. The aim of the study was to explore the associations between specific sleep parameters and specific aspects of cognitive functioning in Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), in all of its subtypes. The review process was conducted according to the PRISMA statement. A total of 12 studies met inclusion criteria, among which age, diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment according to accepted criteria, sleep data, and measures of cognition. It was found that low sleep quality affects cognitive functions (such as learning and memory) in MCI patients. Poor sleep consolidation, lower amplitude, and faster frequency of spindles may be early sleep biomarkers of worsening cognitive decline in older adults.

Relativistic Spacetime Based on Absolute Background

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on the consideration of naturalness and physical facts in Einstein's theories of relativity, a nontrivial spacetime physical picture, which has a slight difference from the standard one, is introduced by making a further distinction on the absolute background of spacetime and the relative length or duration of base units of spacetime. In this picture, the coordinate base units in gravity-induced spacetime metric are defined by the standard clock and ruler equipped by the observer, and duplicated onto the every position of the whole universe. In contrast, the local intrinsic base units of spacetime in gravitational field are defined by the length and duration of physical events intervals in the same-type standard clock and ruler which are really located at every position of the universe. In principle, the reading number of the standard clock is counted by the undergone times of unit intervals defined depending on a certain kind of local intrinsic events. But the size of the base units of spacetime is essentially depicted by the length of the line segment, which is cut from the absolute background of spacetime by the local intrinsic events of unit interval. The effect of gravitation is just to change the length of this segment for base spacetime units. On the basis of such a physical picture of spacetime, in a fairly natural way we re-derive a new classical dynamical equation which satisfies a more realistic and moderately general principle of relativity. To further examine this physical picture including of gravitation and spacetime, we also reinterpret the gravitational redshifts for solar gravity tests.

description: The present thesis thoroughly examines the dynamics of the contemporary work environment, focusing on the organizational climate of businesses. From leadership styles and applied emotional intelligence to the impact of inevitable organizational changes and its management, this study provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of all factors contributing to the optimization of the organizational climate. By exploring issues such as work commitment and satisfaction, and professional empowerment, this work aims not only to contribute to academic dialogue but also to improve the well-being and productivity of employees in real conditions. The methodological approach is as follows: a literature review will be conducted on the organizational climate and the relevant parameters influencing it (leadership, emotional intelligence, work engagement, burnout phenomenon, theories of change, and mobilization of employees) to derive scales that shape the climate of an organization and practices that could contribute to its improvement. As a result, strategies will be proposed to reduce work empowerment and, more broadly, practices to improve the organizational climate and overall increase the effectiveness and well-being of employees.

description: A supervised topic model can use side information such as ratings or labels associated with documents or images to discover more predictive low dimensional topical representations of the data. However, existing supervised topic models predominantly employ likelihood-driven objective functions for learning and inference, leaving the popular and potentially powerful max-margin principle unexploited for seeking predictive representations of data and more discriminative topic bases for the corpus. In this paper, we propose the maximum entropy discrimination latent Dirichlet allocation (MedLDA) model, which integrates the mechanism behind the max-margin prediction models (e.g., SVMs) with the mechanism behind the hierarchical Bayesian topic models (e.g., LDA) under a unified constrained optimization framework, and yields latent topical representations that are more discriminative and more suitable for prediction tasks such as document classification or regression. The principle underlying the MedLDA formalism is quite general and can be applied for jointly max-margin and maximum likelihood learning of directed or undirected topic models when supervising side information is available. Efficient variational methods for posterior inference and parameter estimation are derived and extensive empirical studies on several real data sets are also provided. Our experimental results demonstrate qualitatively and quantitatively that MedLDA could: 1) discover sparse and highly discriminative topical representations; 2) achieve state of the art prediction performance; and 3) be more efficient than existing supervised topic models, especially for classification.
Comparison between Classical-Gas behaviours and Granular-Gas ones in micro-gravity

description: Recent vibration experiments in microgravity are re-examined. We show that they demonstrate that "granular-gas" state exists only in the Knudsen regime, that its excitation is "supersonic" and that the probability density function of the pressure of the gas scales as (Af) to the power 3/2, with A and f being the excitation amplitude and frequency. This paper pursues the description of the experimental results. Then, it compares these ones to what can be predicted from few simple modelling, which are (i) the classical-gas theory and (ii) the thermodynamics of a single particle in a 1d box. The anomalous scaling of pressure fluctuations (Af) to the 3/2 is explained by the crossover from the regime of a single collision during the sampling time, which imposes p scales as_ (Af) at small speed, to a multiple collision imposing p scales as_(Af)_ . Air effect and effect of g-jitter are discussed and quantified. Influence of grain-grain collisions is described on the distribution of speed. Pacs # : 5.40 ; 45.70 ; 62.20 ; 83.70.Fn

description: Negotiation is omnipresent in people’s lives, whether the context be arguing with a spouse, making a business deal, or buying a new car. This study aimed to investigate the role of emotions in both economic and social-psychological outcomes of negotiation. Thirty-eight undergraduate psychology students formed dyads and were randomly assigned to either the experimental or the control group. In the experimental condition, positive emotions were induced through loving-kindness meditation (LKM) to both parties in each dyad, while in the control condition participants were not exposed to any emotional manipulation. Then, all participants were engaged in a cell phone negotiation simulation. The results showed that LKM led to increased levels of positive emotions and decreased levels of negative emotions. Nevertheless, the levels of experimental group’s negative emotions increased after the negotiation. In addition, the present study provided evidence that positive emotions are linked to increased cooperation potential and reduced possibilities for impasse, whilst it was found that the higher the levels of positive emotions, the less time is needed for negotiators to make a deal. Furthermore, it was found that negative emotions are associated with worse economic outcomes, while positive emotions experienced after the negotiation relate to participants’ perceptions about their self, the economic outcomes, and the overall satisfaction derived from the negotiation. Finally, it was found that distinct positive and negative emotions serve different functions. Practical implications for designing and implementing interventions focusing on cultivating positive negotiation skills in several contexts, such as workplace, close relationships, and parenting, are discussed.

Radiation driven instability of rapidly rotating relativistic stars: criterion and evolution equations via multipolar expansion of gravitational waves

description: I suggest a novel approach for deriving evolution equations for rapidly rotating relativistic stars affected by radiation-driven Chandrasekhar-Friedman-Schutz (CFS) instability. This approach is based on the multipolar expansion of gravitational wave emission and appeals to the global physical properties of the star (energy, angular momentum, and thermal state), but not to canonical energy and angular momentum, which is traditional. It leads to simple derivation of the CFS instability criterion for normal modes and the evolution equations for a star, affected by this instability. The approach also gives a precise form to simple explanation of the CFS instability: it occurs when two conditions met: (a) gravitational wave emission removes angular momentum from the rotating star (thus releasing the rotation energy) and (b) gravitational waves carry less energy, than the released amount of the rotation energy. Results are illustrated by r-mode instability in slowly rotating Newtonian stars. In resulting evolution equations emission of gravitational waves directly affects the spin frequency, being in line with the arguments by Levin & Ushomirsky (2001), but in contrast to widely accepted equations by Lindblom et al. (1998); Ho & Lai (2000), there effective spin frequency decrease is coupled with dissipation of unstable mode. This problem, initially stressed by Levin & Ushomirsky (2001), is shown to be superficial, and arises as a result of definition of the effective spin frequency by Lindblom et al. (1998); Ho & Lai (2000). Namely, it is shown, that if this definition is taken into account properly, the evolution equations coincide with obtained here in the leading order in mode amplitude. I also argue that the next-to-leading order terms in evolution equations (which differ for Owen et al. 1998 and Ho & Lai 2000) require clarification and thus it would be more self-consistent to omit them.

Wavelet entropy as a measure of solar cycle complexity

description: Using wavelet analysis approach, we can derive a measure of the disorder content of solar activity, following the temporal evolution of the so-called wavelet entropy. The interesting feature of this parameter is its ability to extract a dynamical complexity information, in terms of frequency distribution of the energy content, avoiding restrictions, common in the nonlinear dynamics theory, such as stationarity. The analysis is performed on the monthly time series of sunspot numbers. From the time behaviour of the wavelet entropy we found a clear increase in the disorder content of solar activity for the current 23th solar cycle. This result suggests general low accuracies for current solar cycleprediction methods. Moreover, we pointed out a possible connection between wavelet entropy behaviour and solar excursion phases of solar dipole.

description: Many real world network problems often concern multivariate nodal attributes such as image, textual, and multi-view feature vectors on nodes, rather than simple univariate nodal attributes. The existing graph estimation methods built on Gaussian graphical models and covariance selection algorithms can not handle such data, neither can the theories developed around such methods be directly applied. In this paper, we propose a new principled framework for estimating multi-attribute graphs. Instead of estimating the partial correlation as in current literature, our method estimates the partial canonical correlations that naturally accommodate complex nodal features. Computationally, we provide an efficient algorithm which utilizes the multi-attribute structure. Theoretically, we provide sufficient conditions which guarantee consistent graph recovery. Extensive simulation studies demonstrate performance of our method under various conditions.

description: Our understanding of infectious disease and disease-causing organisms has been broadly shaped by two revolutions. The first was the advent of clinical microbiology of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, which saw the isolation, identification and classification of disease-causing organisms. In the middle of the twentieth century, the emerging field of molecular biology transformed our understanding of genes and their regulation. Starting in 1960, Stanley Falkow fused clinical microbiology with molecular biology, founding the new discipline of molecular microbial pathogenesis. Over the next half century, he led and shaped this new discipline, revolutionizing our understanding of how pathogenic bacteria cause disease and become resistant to antibiotics.

description: We construct new solutions of the vacuum Einstein field equations with cosmological constant. These solutions describe spacetimes with non-trivial topology that are asymptotically dS, AdS or flat. For a negative cosmological constant these solutions are NUT charged generalizations of the topological black hole solutions in higher dimensions. We also point out the existence of such NUT charged spacetimes in odd dimensions and we explicitly construct such spaces in 5 and 7 dimensions. The existence of such spacetimes with non-trivial topology is closely related to the existence of the cosmological constant. Finally, we discuss the global structure of such solutions and possible applications in string theory.

description: Let $A$ be an element of the copositive cone $coposn$. A zero $vu$ of $A$ is a nonnegative vector whose elements sum up to one and such that $vu^TAvu = 0$. The support of $vu$ is the index set $Suppvu subset 1,dots,n$ corresponding to the nonzero entries of $vu$. A zero $vu$ of $A$ is called minimal if there does not exist another zero $vv$ of $A$ such that its support $Suppvv$ is a strict subset of $Suppvu$. Our main result is a characterization of the cone of feasible directions at $A$, i.e., the convex cone $VarKA$ of real symmetric $n times n$ matrices $B$ such that there exists $delta > 0$ satisfying $A + delta B in coposn$. This cone is described by a set of linear inequalities on the elements of $B$ constructed from the set of zeros of $A$ and their supports. This characterization furnishes descriptions of the minimal face of $A$ in $coposn$, and of the minimal exposed face of $A$ in $coposn$, by sets of linear equalities and inequalities constructed from the set of minimal zeros of $A$ and their supports. In particular, we can check whether $A$ lies on an extreme ray of $coposn$ by examining the solution set of a system of linear equations. In addition, we deduce a simple necessary and sufficient condition on the irreducibility of $A$ with respect to a copositive matrix $C$. Here $A$ is called irreducible with respect to $C$ if for all $delta > 0$ we have $A - delta C notin coposn$.

description: The purpose of this study was the pilot implementation and investigation of the effectiveness of an internet-delivered group counselling intervention called "What is your superpower?", which aimed to enhance career calling, well-being, and character strengths among young adults. Twenty-five Greek undergraduate university students participated in the study and were divided into two groups. The experimental group attended the six-week program, while the control group did not participate in any intervention. All participants completed self-report measures before and after the intervention, while the experimental group completed the questionnaires also a month later. The results showed that the intervention group reported increased levels of career calling, well-being, and character strengths in the measurements after the program. The increased levels were maintained up to one month later, unlike the control group that had no significant difference in any of the variables of the study. Further research is required to confirm these findings.

CSSV/TPGS-NPs showed smaller sizes and better stability compared with that of CUR-s-s-vitamin E conjugate prodrug-nanoparticles (CSSV-NPs). Significantly, the absorption constant and effective permeability of CSSV/TPGS-NPs in different intestinal tracts increased 1.31–2.78 times and 1.81–6.95 times than that of CUR suspension, respectively. Pharmacokinetic study in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats demonstrated that orally administered CSSV/TPGS-NPs displayed a prolonged plasma circulation with 8.06-fold increase in relative bioavailability compared to that of the CUR suspension. Altogether, conjugation of hydrophobic native CUR with vitamin E to form CSSV/TPGS-NPs is a promising technology for sustained and controlled drug delivery of CUR with improved oral bioavailability in vivo.

description: In this paper, we used the 8-band k$\cdot$p model with valence force field considerations to investigate the effect of size and shape on electronic and optical properties of cadmium selenide quantum dots. Major factors related to their properties including band mixing probabilities, spatial charge distributions, transition matrix elements and Fermi factors were studied. Volumetrically larger CdSe dots were found to have smaller band-gaps but higher transition matrix elements and Fermi factors. The maximum optical gain for dots was observed to have an initially positive and then negative correlation with their real-space size as a result of combined effects of various factors. For the shape effects, cubic dots were found to have smaller band-gaps, Fermi factors and transition matrix elements than spherical dots due to higher level of asymmetry and different surface effects. Consequently, cubic dots have lower emission energy, smaller amplification. The occurrence of near E1-H1 transition broadens the gain spectrum of cubic dots. Cubic and spherical dots are both proven to be promising candidates for optical devices under visible range. We have demonstrated that size and shape change could both effectively alter the properties of quantum dots and therefore recommend consideration of both when optimizing the performance for any desired application.

description: When building large-scale machine learning (ML) programs, such as big topic models or deep neural nets, one usually assumes such tasks can only be attempted with industrial-sized clusters with thousands of nodes, which are out of reach for most practitioners or academic researchers. We consider this challenge in the context of topic modeling on web-scale corpora, and show that with a modest cluster of as few as 8 machines, we can train a topic model with 1 million topics and a 1-million-word vocabulary (for a total of 1 trillion parameters), on a document collection with 200 billion tokens -- a scale not yet reported even with thousands of machines. Our major contributions include: 1) a new, highly efficient O(1) Metropolis-Hastings sampling algorithm, whose running cost is (surprisingly) agnostic of model size, and empirically converges nearly an order of magnitude faster than current state-of-the-art Gibbs samplers; 2) a structure-aware model-parallel scheme, which leverages dependencies within the topic model, yielding a sampling strategy that is frugal on machine memory and network communication; 3) a differential data-structure for model storage, which uses separate data structures for high- and low-frequency words to allow extremely large models to fit in memory, while maintaining high inference speed; and 4) a bounded asynchronous data-parallel scheme, which allows efficient distributed processing of massive data via a parameter server. Our distribution strategy is an instance of the model-and-data-parallel programming model underlying the Petuum framework for general distributed ML, and was implemented on top of the Petuum open-source system. We provide experimental evidence showing how this development puts massive models within reach on a small cluster while still enjoying proportional time cost reductions with increasing cluster size, in comparison with alternative options.

description: In this paper we address density properties of intersections of convex sets in several function spaces. Using the concept of Gamma-convergence, it is shown in a general framework, how these density issues naturally arise from the regularization, discretization or dualization of constrained optimization problems and from perturbed variational inequalities. A variety of density results (and counterexamples) for pointwise constraints in Sobolev spaces are presented and the corresponding regularity requirements on the upper bound are identified. The results are further discussed in the context of finite element discretizations of sets associated to convex constraints. Finally, two applications are provided, which include elasto-plasticity and image restoration problems.

description: The collective yrast band and the high spin states of the nucleus 50Cr are studied using the spherical shell model and the HFB method. The two descriptions lead to nearly the same values for the relevant observables. A first backbending is predicted at I=10\hbar corresponding to a collective to non-collective transition. At I=16\hbar a second backbending occurs, associated to a configuration change that can also be interpreted as an spherical to triaxial transition.

description: This study aimed to examine the relationship between family functionality and alcohol and drug abuse among adolescents in Ecuador. The study used a descriptive, correlational, and explanatory methodology using structural modeling (SEM) techniques. The sample comprised 416 adolescents. Females constituted 61.2% of the sample, with their age ranging from 12 to 18 years (M = 16.33; SD = 0.95) from Ecuador. The findings revealed that the participants exhibited a moderate degree of family functionality, paralleled by a low level of alcohol consumption and substance misuse. Structural equation modeling revealed a relationship between family functionality and both alcohol and substance use. The data indicated that family functionality explained 13% of the observed variability in alcohol use and 22% of the variability in substance misuse. Overall, family functionality proved to be a significant predictor of alcohol consumption and drug misuse among adolescents, but caution should be drawn to the interpretation of the findings as the sample comprised adolescents who did not have major problem with either alcohol or drug abuse.

description: Hamiltonian dynamics has been applied to study the slip-stacking dynamics. The canonical-perturbation method is employed to obtain the second-harmonic correction term in the slip-stacking Hamiltonian. The Hamiltonian approach provides a clear optimal method for choosing the slip-stacking parameter and improving stacking efficiency. The dynamics are applied specifically to the Fermilab Booster-Recycler complex. The dynamics can also be applied to other accelerator complexes.
