description: We study finite-size corrections to the free energy of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick spin glass in the low temperature phase. We investigate the role of longitudinal fluctuations in these corrections, neglecting the transverse contribution. In particular, we are interested in the exponent $α$ defined by the relation $f-f_\infty\sim N^{-α}$. We perform both an analytical and numerical estimate of the analytical result for $α$. From both the approaches we get the result: $α=0.8$.

The dispersion of a single hole in an antiferromagnet

description: We revisit the problem of the dispersion of a single hole injected into a quantum antiferromagnet. We applied a spin-density-wave formalism extended to a large number of orbitals and obtained an integral equation for the full quasiparticle Green's function in the self-consistent "non-crossing" Born approximation. We found that for $t/J \gg 1$, the bare fermionic dispersion is completely overshadowed by the self-energy corrections. We obtain a broad incoherent continuum which extends over a frequency range of $\sim 6t$ and a narrow region of width $O(JS)$ below the top of the valence band, where the excitations are mostly coherent, though with a small quasiparticle residue $Z \sim J/t$. Furthermore, we argue in this paper that two-magnon Raman scattering as well as neutron scattering experiments strongly suggest that the zone boundary magnons are not free particles since a substantial portion of their spectral weight is transferred into an incoherent background. We modeled this effect by introducing a cutoff $q_c$ in the integration over magnon momenta. We found analytically that for small $q_c$, the strong coupling solution for the Green's function is universal, and both effective masses are equal to $(4JS)^{-1}$. We further computed the full fermionic dispersion for $J/t =0.4$ relevant for $Sr_2CuO_2Cl_2$, and $t^\prime=-0.4J$ and found not only that the masses are both equal to $(2J)^{-1}$, but also that the energies at $(0,0)$ and $(0,π)$ are equal, the energy at $(0,π/2)$ is about half of that at $(0,0)$, and the bandwidth for the coherent excitations is around $3J$. All of these results are in full agreement with the experimental data.

description: A primary goal of integral field spectroscopic (IFS) surveys is to provide a statistical census of galaxies classified by their internal kinematics. As a result, the observational spin parameter, $λ_R$, has become one of the most popular methods of quantifying the relative importance of velocity dispersion and rotation in supporting a galaxy's inner structure. The goal of this paper is to examine the relationship between the observationally deduced $λ_R$ and one of the most commonly used theoretical spin parameters in the literature, the Bullock et al. (2001) $λ'$. Using a set of $N$-body realisations of galaxies from which we construct mock IFS observations, we measure $λ_R$ as an observer would, incorporating the effects of beam smearing and seeing conditions. Assuming parameters typical of current IFS surveys, we confirm that there are strong positive correlations between $λ_R$ and measurement radius, and strong negative correlations between $λ_R$ and size of the PSF, for late-type galaxies; these biases can be reduced using a recently proposed empirical correction. Once observational biases are corrected for, we find that $λ_R$ provides a good approximation to $\sim \sqrt{3}/2 \; λ'(\rm R_{\rm eff})$, where $λ'$ is evaluated for the galactic stellar component within 1 R$_{\rm eff}$.

description: We develop a low-energy effective theory for spin-1/2 frustrated two-leg Heisenberg spin ladders. We obtain a new type of interchain coupling that breaks parity symmetry. In the presence of an XXZ-type anisotropy, this interaction gives rise to a novel ground state, characterized by incommensurate correlations. In the case of a single ladder, this state corresponds to a spin nematic phase. For a frustrated quasi-one-dimensional system of infinitely many weakly coupled chains, this state develops true three dimensional spiral order. We apply our theory to recent neutron scattering experiments on $Cs_2CuCl_4$.

description: Thousands of complex natural language questions are submitted to community question answering websites on a daily basis, rendering them as one of the most important information sources these days. However, oftentimes submitted questions are unclear and cannot be answered without further clarification questions by expert community members. This study is the first to investigate the complex task of classifying a question as clear or unclear, i.e., if it requires further clarification. We construct a novel dataset and propose a classification approach that is based on the notion of similar questions. This approach is compared to state-of-the-art text classification baselines. Our main finding is that the similar questions approach is a viable alternative that can be used as a stepping stone towards the development of supportive user interfaces for question formulation.

description: We propose a quantum version of a gedanken experiment which supports the generalized second law of black hole thermodynamics. A quantum measurement of particles in the region outside of the event horizon decreases the entropy of the outside matter due to the entanglement of the inside and outside particle states. This decrease is compensated, however, by the increase in the detector entropy. If the detector is conditionally dropped into the black hole depending on the experimental outcome, the decrease of the matter entropy is more than compensated by the increase of the black hole entropy via the increase of the black hole mass which is ultimately attributed to the work done by the measurement.

description: Chimera states in spatiotemporal dynamical systems have been investigated in physical, chemical, and biological systems, and have been shown to be robust against random perturbations. How do chimera states achieve their robustness? We uncover a self-adaptation behavior by which, upon a spatially localized perturbation, the coherent component of the chimera state spontaneously drifts to an optimal location as far away from the perturbation as possible, exposing only its incoherent component to the perturbation to minimize the disturbance. A systematic numerical analysis of the evolution of the spatiotemporal pattern of the chimera state towards the optimal stable state reveals an exponential relaxation process independent of the spatial location of the perturbation, implying that its effects can be modeled as restoring and damping forces in a mechanical system and enabling the articulation of a phenomenological model. Not only is the model able to reproduce the numerical results, it can also predict the trajectory of drifting. Our finding is striking as it reveals that, inherently, chimera states possess a kind of "intelligence" in achieving robustness through self adaptation. The behavior can be exploited for controlled generation of chimera states with their coherent component placed in any desired spatial region of the system.

Massive Type IIA Theory on K3

description: In this paper we study K3 compactification of ten-dimensional massive type IIA theory with all possible Ramond-Ramond background fluxes turned on. The resulting six-dimensional theory is a new massive (gauged) supergravity with an action that is manifestly invariant under an O(4,20) / (O(4) times O(20)) duality symmetry. We discover that this six-dimensional theory interpolates between vacua of ten-dimensional massive IIA supergravity and vacua of massless IIA supergravity with appropriate background fluxes turned on. This in turn suggests a new 11-dimensional interpretation for the massive type IIA theory.

Diagnosis
Shell very small, spire raised; protoconch smooth, at most microscopically shagreened (diameter 320– 350 μm); teleoconch texture silky; sculpture comprising simple, very fine and close-set axial riblets of alternating strength; spiral sculpture of indistinct threads in riblet intervals; parietal region lacking dentition; baso-columellar region typically with a strong, transversely-elongate denticle, its apex rounded or flat; palatal region with a single robust trigonal lamella just below periphery, angled upward and with a thickened crest; shape and strength of denticles somewhat variable; umbilicus relatively narrow. Shell corneous to golden-brown when fresh; diameter up to 1.5 mm.
Material examined
Holotype SOUTH AFRICA • KwaZulu-Natal, Inhluzani Mountain [Dargle area, Nhlosane]; prior to 1912; H.C. Burnup leg.; NHMUK 1912.3.25.2.
Paratypes SOUTH AFRICA • 3 specimens; same collection data as for holotype; NMSA 2607/T614.
Distribution and conservation
Endemic to eastern South Africa (Fig. 5), ranging widely from the Soutpansberg and Wolkberg in Limpopo, along the Mpumalanga escarpment, and throughout much of the KwaZulu-Natal interior, at altitudes in excess of 1000 m; in leaf-litter of mistbelt and northern afrotemperate forest. Not of conservation concern.
Remarks
Specimens from the northern mistbelt forest in Mpumalanga and Limpopo closely resemble typical specimens from the KwaZulu-Natal interior. They retain a single baso-columellar denticle, but it is less robust than in the typical form and the palatal lamella is slender, strongly trigonal and its crest only slightly thickened. In addition, they rarely attain as large a size as those from KwaZulu-Natal and usually have a proportionately more elevated shell (H/D ratio closer to 0.65 compared with 0.55). Since these differences are relative and exhibit some overlap, I do not consider these northern populations worthy of recognition as a separate entity.

description: The hybrid ﬂowshop scheduling problem with unrelated parallel machines exists in many industrial manufacturers, which is an NP-hard combinatorial optimisation problem. To solve this problem more effectively, an improved gravitational search (IGS) algorithm is proposed which combines three strategies: generate new individuals using the mutation strategy of the standard differential evolution (DE) algorithm and preserve the optimal solution via a greedy strategy; substitute the exponential gravitational constant of the standard gravitational search (GS) algorithm with a linear function; improve the velocity update formula of the standard GS algorithm by mixing an adaptive weight and the global search strategy of the standard particle swarm optimisation (PSO) algorithm. Benchmark examples are solved to demonstrate the proposed IGS algorithm is superior to the standard genetic algorithm, DE, GS, DE with local search, estimation of distribution algorithm and artificial bee colony algorithms. Two more examples from a real-world water-meter manufacturing enterprise are effectively solved.

The Origin of the Multiwavelength Emission of PKS 0502+049

description: The origin of the multiwavelength emission from PKS 0502+049 neighboring the first cosmic neutrino source TXS 0506+056 is studied using the data observed by Fermi-LAT and Swift UVOT/XRT. This source was in a flaring state in the considered bands before and after the neutrino observations in 2014-2015, characterized by hard emission spectra in the X-ray and $γ$-ray bands, $1.5-1.8$ and $\leq2.0$, respectively. During the neutrino observations, the $γ$-ray spectrum shows a deviation from a simple power-law shape, indicating a spectral cutoff at $E_c =8.50\pm2.06$ GeV. The spectral energy distributions of PKS 0502+049 are modeled within a one-zone leptonic scenario assuming that high energy $γ$-ray emission is produced either by IC scattering of synchrotron or dusty torus photons by the electron population that produce the radio-to-optical emission. Alternatively, the observed $γ$-rays are modeled considering inelastic interaction of protons, when the jet interacts with a dense gaseous target. During the neutrino observations, the $γ$-ray data are best described when the proton energy distribution is $E_p^{-2.61}$ and if the protons are effectively accelerated up to 10 PeV, the expected neutrino rate is $\sim1.1$ events within 110 days. In principle, if the $γ$-ray emission with a hard photon index observed during the flaring periods extends up to TeV, the expected rate can be somewhat higher, but such conditions are hardly possible. Within the hadronic interpretation, the $γ$-ray data can be reproduced only when the accretion rate of PKS 0502+049 is in the supper-Eddington regime, as opposed to the leptonic scenario. From the point of view of the necessary energetics as well as considering that the required parameters are physically reasonable, when the neutrinos were observed, the broadband emission from PKS 0502+049 is most likely of a leptonic origin.

description: Stroke is a major public health problem leading to high rates of death and disability worldwide, but no effective pharmacological therapy is currently available except for the use of PLAT (plasminogen activator, tissue). Here we show that PARP14 (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase family, member 14) level was significantly increased in the peri-infarct zone of photothrombotic stroke (PT) mice. Genetic knockdown and pharmacological inhibition of PARP14 aggravated functional impairment and increased infarct volume in PT mice, while overexpression of PARP14 displayed the opposite effects. Furthermore, PARP14 was abundant in microglia, and downregulation of PARP14 increased post-stroke microglial activation, whereas overexpression of PARP14 alleviated microglial activation, possibly through microglial macroautophagy/autophagy modulation. Mechanistically, overexpression of PARP14 suppressed Lpar5 (lysophosphatidic acid receptor 5) gene transcription to inhibit microglial activation post stroke.

description: Superior locomotor performance confers advantages in terms of male combat success, survival and fitness in a variety of organisms. In humans, investment in increased performance via the exercise response is also associated with numerous health benefits, and aerobic capacity is an important predictor of longevity. Although the response to exercise is conserved across vertebrates, no studies have tested whether non-human animals that invest in increased athletic performance through exercise realize a survival advantage in nature. Green anole lizards respond to exercise training, and enhanced performance drives trade-offs with reproduction and immunocompetence. We released sprint-trained, endurance-trained and untrained-control male and female green anole lizards into an isolated, urban island in New Orleans, LA, USA and monitored their survival. Sedentary controls realized a significant survivorship advantage compared to trained lizards. Our results suggest that locomotor capacity is currently optimized to maximize survival in green anoles, and that forcing additional investment in performance moves them into a suboptimal phenotypic space relative to their current environmental demands.

description: Topological quantum matter is characterized by non-trivial global invariants of the bulk which induce gapless electronic states at its boundaries. A case in point are two-dimensional topological insulators (2D-TI) which host one-dimensional (1D) conducting helical edge states protected by time-reversal symmetry (TRS) against single-particle backscattering (SPB). However, as two-particle scattering is not forbidden by TRS [1], the existence of electronic interactions at the edge and their notoriously strong impact on 1D states may lead to an intriguing interplay between topology and electronic correlations. In particular, it is directly relevant to the question in which parameter regime the quantum spin Hall effect (QSHE) expected for 2D-TIs becomes obscured by these correlation effects that prevail at low temperatures [2]. Here we study the problem on bismuthene on SiC(0001) which has recently been synthesized and proposed to be a candidate material for a room-temperature QSHE [3]. By utilizing the accessibility of this monolayer-substrate system on atomic length scales by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) we observe metallic edge channels which display 1D electronic correlation effects. Specifically, we prove the correspondence with a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL), and, based on the observed universal scaling of the differential tunneling conductivity (dI/dV), we derive a TLL parameter K reflecting intermediate electronic interaction strength in the edge states of bismuthene. This establishes the first spectroscopic identification of 1D electronic correlation effects in the topological edge states of a 2D-TI.

description: We have exactly solved the relaxational dynamics of a model protein which possesses a kinetically perfect funnel-like energy landscape. We find that the dependence of the relaxation time, $τ$, on the density of states (DOS) and the energy level spacing distributions of the model displays several main types of behavior depending on the temperature $T$. This allows us to identify possible generic features of the relaxation. For some ranges of $T$, $τ$ is insensitive to the density of states; for intermediate values of $T$ it depends on the energy level spacing distribution rather than on the DOS directly, and it becomes gradually more dependent on DOS with increasing temperature; finally, the relaxation can also be determined exclusively by the presence of a deep gap in the energy spectrum rather than by the detailed features of the density of states. We found that the behavior of $τ$ crucially depends on the degeneracy of the energy spectrum. For the special case of exponentially increasing degeneracy, we were able to identify a characteristic temperature which roughly separates the relaxational regimes controlled by energetics and by entropy, respectively. Finally, the validity of our theory is discussed when roughness of energy landscape is added.

description: Two new pregnane glycosides (1 and 2), together with four known ones (3– 6), were isolated from the roots of Cynanchum auriculatum Royle ex Wight (Asclepiadaceae). On the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis and chemical method, the structures of new compounds were characterized to be metaplexigenin 3-O-β-D-cymaropyranosyl- (1→4)-α-L-diginopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-cymaropyranoside (1), metaplexigenin 3-O-α-L-diginopyranosyl-(1→4)-β-D-cymaropyranoside (2). All the isolated compounds (1–6) were tested for their in vitro inhibitory activity against the growth of human colon cancer cell lines HCT-116. Compounds 5 and 6 showed significant cytoxicities with IC50 values of 43.58 µM and 52.21 µM.

Diagnosis
Shell very small, spire distinctly raised, last adult whorl relatively deep, lenticular to almost subglobose; protoconch smooth, at most microscopically shagreened or malleate (diameter ±320 μm); teleoconch texture silky; sculpture comprising simple, very fine and close-set axial riblets of alternating strength; spiral sculpture of fine threads in riblet intervals; parietal region with two well-developed, in-running lamellae; baso-columellar region with a strong, ridge-like denticle; palatal region with 5–8 in-running lamellae, those above periphery weaker; umbilicus relatively narrow. Shell whitish to dark purplishbrown when fresh; diameter up to 1.45 mm.
Material examined
Holotype SOUTH AFRICA • E. Cape, Grahamstown; prior to 1912; J. Farquhar leg.; NHMUK 1912.3.25.4.
Paratypes SOUTH AFRICA – E. Cape • 1 specimen; Grahamstown, Mountain Drive; prior to 1912; NMSA A9214/T2178 • 1 specimen; Kowie [Port Alfred]; NHMUK 1937.12.30.2763 • 2 specimens; Bathurst, Trappes Valley; NMSA A9619/T615.
Distribution and conservation
The widest ranging of all aperturally dentate charopid snails in southern Africa (Fig. 3) Recorded from Grootvadersbosch in W. Cape through much of E. Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, the escarpment of Mpumalanga, and the Soutpansberg and Wolkberg massifs in Limpopo. Ranges beyond South Africa to Mount Vengo (Monte Panga) in the highlands between Zimbabwe and Mozambique (Connolly 1925), and northward to Malaŵi (Bruggen & Meredith 1984; Bruggen 2007). An isolated record (Connolly 1939) from Kimberley (N. Cape) requires confirmation. Lives in leaf-litter of a wide variety of forest and woodland habitats, from the coast to 1800 m a.s.l.. Not of conservation concern.
Remarks
Closest to Af. farquhari, but that species has fewer palatal lamellae and a weaker baso-columellar denticle, and the last adult whorl is not as deep.

description: Inspired by Mott's (1929) analysis of particle tracks in a cloud chamber, we consider a simple model for quantum cosmology which includes, in the total Hamiltonian, model detectors registering whether or not the system, at any stage in its entire history, passes through a series of regions in configuration space. We thus derive a variety of well-defined formulas for the probabilities for trajectories associated with the solutions to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation. The probability distribution is peaked about classical trajectories in configuration space. The ``measured'' wave functions still satisfy the Wheeler-DeWitt equation, except for small corrections due to the disturbance of the measuring device. With modified boundary conditions, the measurement amplitudes essentially agree with an earlier result of Hartle derived on rather different grounds. In the special case where the system is a collection of harmonic oscillators, the interpretation of the results is aided by the introduction of ``timeless'' coherent states -- eigenstates of the Hamiltonian which are concentrated about entire classical trajectories.
