description: Using numerical simulations, we examine the structure of a cometary population near a massive planet, such as a giant planet of the Solar system, starting with one-planet approximation (the Sun plus one planet). By studying the distributions of comets in semimajor axis, eccentricity, pericenter, and apocenter distances, we have revealed several interesting features in these distributions. The most remarkable ones include (i) spatial accumulation of comets near the planetary orbit (which we call the `cometary belt') and (ii) avoidance of resonant orbits by comets. Then we abandon one-planet approximation and examine as to how a cometary belt is modified when the influence of all four giant planets is taken into consideration. To this end, we simulate a stationary distribution of comets, which results from the gravitational scattering of the Kuiper belt objects on the four giant planets and accounts for the effects of mean motion resonances. Accounting for the influence of four giant planets makes the cometary belts overlapping, but nevertheless keeping almost all their basic features found in one-planet approximation. In particular, the belts maintain the gaps in the (a,e)- and (a,i)-space similar to the Kirkwood gaps in the main asteroid belt. We conclude that the large-scale structure of the Solar system is featured by the four cometary belts expected to contain 20-30 millions of scattered comets, and only a tiny fraction of them is currently visible as Jupiter-, Saturn-, etc. family comets.

description: Methane gas hydrates have increasingly become a topic of interest because of their potential as a future energy resource. There are significant economical and environmental risks associated with extraction from hydrate reservoirs, so a variety of multiphysics models have been developed to analyze prospective risks and benefits. These models generally have a large number of empirical parameters which are not known a priori. Traditional optimization-based parameter estimation frameworks may be ill-posed or computationally prohibitive. Bayesian inference methods have increasingly been found effective for estimating parameters in complex geophysical systems. These methods often are not viable in cases of computationally expensive models and high-dimensional parameter spaces. Recently, methods have been developed to effectively reduce the dimension of Bayesian inverse problems by identifying low-dimensional structures that are most informed by data. Active subspaces is one of the most generally applicable methods of performing this dimension reduction. In this paper, Bayesian inference of the parameters of a state-of-the-art mathematical model for methane hydrates based on experimental data from a triaxial compression test with gas hydrate-bearing sand is performed in an efficient way by utilizing active subspaces. Active subspaces are used to identify low-dimensional structure in the parameter space which is exploited by generating a cheap regression-based surrogate model and implementing a modified Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm. Posterior densities having means that match the experimental data are approximated in a computationally efficient way.

description: The gravitational instability of cosmological pancakes composed of collisionless dark matter in an Einstein-de Sitter universe is investigated numerically to demonstrate that pancakes are unstable with respect to fragmentation and the formation of filaments. A ``pancake'' is defined here as the nonlinear outcome of the growth of a 1D, sinusoidal, plane-wave, adiabatic density perturbation. We have used high resolution, 2D, N-body simulations by the Particle-Mesh (PM) method to study the response of pancakes to perturbation by either symmetric (density) or antisymmetric (bending or rippling) modes, with corresponding wavevectors k_s and k_a transverse to the wavevector k_p of the unperturbed pancake plane-wave. We consider dark matter which is initially ``cold'' (i.e. with no random thermal velocity in the initial conditions). We also investigate the effect of a finite, random, isotropic, initial velocity dispersion (i.e. initial thermal velocity) on the fate of pancake collapse and instability. Pancakes are shown to be gravitationally unstable with respect to all perturbations of wavelength l

description: A comparison of the close-to-threshold total cross sections for the eta-prime meson production in both the pp --> pp eta-prime and pn --> pn eta-prime reactions should provide insight into the flavour-singlet (perhaps also into gluonium) content of the eta-prime meson and the relevance of quark-gluon or hadronic degrees of freedom in the creation process. The excitation function for the reaction pp --> pp eta-prime has been already established. At present, experimental investigations of the quasi-free pn --> pn X reactions are carried out at the COSY-11 facility using a beam of stochastically cooled protons and the deuteron cluster target. A method of measurement and preliminary results from the test experiments of the pn --> pn eta reaction are presented in this report.

description: Learning by demonstration can be a powerful and natural tool for developing robot control policies. That is, instead of tedious hand-coding, a robot may learn a control policy by interacting with a teacher. In this work we present an algorithm for learning by demonstration in which the teacher operates in two phases. The teacher first demonstrates the task to the learner. The teacher next critiques learner performance of the task. This critique is used by the learner to update its control policy. In our implementation we utilize a 1-Nearest Neighbor technique which incorporates both training dataset and teacher critique. Since the teacher critiques performance only, they do not need to guess at an effective critique for the underlying algorithm. We argue that this method is particularly well-suited to human teachers, who are generally better at assigning credit to performances than to algorithms. We have applied this algorithm to the simulated task of a robot intercepting a ball. Our results demonstrate improved performance with teacher critiquing, where performance is measured by both execution success and efficiency.

description: Many models of Beyond the Standard Model physics contain particles that are charged under both Standard Model and Hidden Valley gauge groups, yet very little effort has been put into establishing their experimental signatures. We provide a general overview of the collider phenomenology of spin 0 or 1/2 mediators with non-trivial gauge numbers under both the Standard Model and a single new confining group. Due to the possibility of many unconventional signatures, the focus is on direct production with semivisible jets. For the mediators to be able to decay, a global $U(1)$ symmetry must be broken. This is best done by introducing a set of operators explicitly violating this symmetry. We find that there is only a finite number of such renormalizable operators and that the phenomenology can be classified into five distinct categories. We show that large regions of the parameter space are already excluded, while others are unconstrained by current search strategies. We also discuss how searches could be modified to better probe these unconstrained regions by exploiting special properties of semivisible jets.

description: Research has shown the highest level of understanding in the geosciences to be the ability to think about the Earth as a dynamic system. The Earth system contains four spheres: the geosphere, the hydrosphere, the biosphere, and the atmosphere. These spheres are linked through the biogeochemical cycles that move matter and energy through the various parts of the Earth system. This study aims to fill a gap in the literature by examining how undergraduate students perceive fluxes and reservoirs of important elements within the Earth system: namely carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Through interviews, concept drawings, and surveys, undergraduate students’ conceptions and alternate conceptions about the Earth System and biogeochemical cycles were collected. This study revealed that undergraduate students in both STEM and non-STEM fields tend to hold a “bio-centric” view of the carbon cycle and have more limited conceptions in terms of detail and breadth of the nitrogen and phosphorous cycles. Students who took more STEM courses and were in more interdisciplinary fields tended to have more nuanced (though not necessarily complete) conceptions of these cycles. Implications for this study involve the improvement of teaching biogeochemical concepts across disciplines, but also inform our knowledge about using these cycles in the context of systems thinking. This work also provides a baseline for future work on developing learning progressions for biogeochemical cycles and complex Earth systems and in assessing systems thinking abilities through student knowledge of biogeochemical cycles.

description: We present very deep WFPC2 images and FOS spectroscopy from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) together with numerous supporting ground-based observations of the field of the quasar 3C 336 ($z_{em}=0.927$). The observations are designed to investigate the nature of galaxies producing metal line absorption systems in the spectrum of the QSO. Along a single line of sight, we find at least 6 metal line absorption systems (of which 3 are newly discovered) ranging in redshift from 0.317 to 0.892. Through an extensive program of optical and IR imaging, QSO spectroscopy, and faint galaxy spectroscopy, we have identified 5 of the 6 metal line absorption systems with luminous (L_K > 0.1 L*_K) galaxies. These have morphologies ranging from very late-type spiral to S0, and exhibit a wide range of inclination and position angles with respect to the QSO sightline. The only unidentified absorber, despite our intensive search, is a damped Lyman $α$ system at $z_{abs}=0.656$. Analysis of the absorption spectrum suggests that the metal abundances ([Fe/H]$=-1.2$) in this system are similar to those in damped systems at $z \sim 2$, and to the two other damped systems for which abundances have been determined at $z <1$. We have found no examples of intrinsically faint galaxies ($L < 0.1 L^{\ast}$) at small impact parameters that might have been missed as absorber candidates in our previous ground-based imaging and spectroscopic programs on MgII absorbing galaxies. There are no bright galaxies (L > 0.1 L_K) within 50h^{-1} kpc which do not produce detectable metal lines (of Mg II 2796, 2803 and/or C IV 1548, 1550) in the QSO spectrum. All of these results generally support the inferences which we have previously reached from a larger survey for absorption-selected galaxies at $z\simlt 1$.

description: One of the many challenges in building robust and reliable autonomous systems is the large number of parameters and settings such systems often entail. The traditional approach to this task is simply to have system experts hand tune various parameter settings, and then validate them through simulation, offline playback, and field testing. However, this approach is tedious and time consuming for the expert, and typically produces subpar performance that does not generalize. Machine learning offers a solution to this problem in the form of learning from demonstration. Rather than ask an expert to explicitly encode his own preferences, he must simply demonstrate them, allowing the system to autonomously configure itself accordingly. This work extends this approach to the task of learning driving styles and maneuver preferences for an autonomous vehicle. Head to head experiments in simulation and with a live autonomous system demonstrate that this approach produces better autonomous performance, and with less expert interaction, than traditional hand tuning.

description: Rock Your Body is a first-year learning community at a small liberal arts college integrating a case-based introductory geology class with a fitness and wellness class. The learning community provides opportunities for 18 students per year to combine active learning in geology with physical activity and embodied learning. This article describes the theoretical background and practical considerations of this integrated pedagogy as well as providing detailed instructions for implementing three embodied learning exercises. The first uses paddleboard yoga as an analogy for tectonic plates on the mantle. The second uses slacklining as an analogy for seismic wave behavior. The third uses dodgeball to model chemical equilibrium. Assessment data show that students who enroll in the Rock Your Body learning community have a better understanding of basic geological concepts than students in non-learning community sections of the same geology class, and students in another geology learning community. The learning community has also been a driver of enrollment for the geology program. Students who complete Rock Your Body are more likely than their peers in other introductory geology classes to enroll in future geology classes and to declare a major in geology.

description: We propose two models of social segregation inspired by the Schelling model. Agents in our models are nodes of evolving social networks. The total number of social connections of each node remains constant in time, though may vary from one node to the other. The first model describes a "polychromatic" society, in which colors designate different social categories of agents. The parameter $μ$ favors/disfavors connected "monochromatic triads", i.e. connected groups of three individuals \emph{within the same social category}, while the parameter $ν$ controls the preference of interactions between two individuals \emph{from different social categories}. The polychromatic model has several distinct regimes in $(μ,ν)$-parameter space. In $ν$-dominated region, the phase diagram is characterized by the plateau in the number of the inter-color connections, where the network is bipartite, while in $μ$-dominated region, the network looks as two weakly connected unicolor clusters. At $μ>μ_{crit}$ and $ν>ν_{crit}$ two phases are separated by a critical line, while at small values of $μ$ and $ν$, a gradual crossover between the two phases occurs. The second "colorless" model describes a society in which the advantage/disadvantage of forming small fully connected communities (short cycles or cliques in a graph) is controlled by a parameter $γ$. We analyze the topological structure of a social network in this model and demonstrate that above a critical threshold, $γ^+>0$, the entire network splits into a set of weakly connected clusters, while below another threshold, $γ^-<0$, the network acquires a bipartite graph structure. Our results propose mechanisms of formation of self-organized communities in international communication between countries, as well as in crime clans and prehistoric societies.

description: We report a new measurement of the neutron decay lifetime by the absolute counting of in-beam neutrons and their decay protons. Protons were confined in a quasi-Penning trap and counted with a silicon detector. The neutron beam fluence was measured by capture in a thin 6LiF foil detector with known absolute efficiency. The combination of these simultaneous measurements gives the neutron lifetime: tau_n = 886.8 +/- 1.2[stat] +/- 3.2[sys] seconds. The systematic uncertainty is dominated by uncertainties in the mass of the 6LiF deposit and the 6Li(n,t) cross section. This is the most precise measurement of the neutron lifetime to date using an in-beam method.

Neutrino Mass Models with an Abelian Family Symmetry

description: Abelian family symmetries provide a predictive framework for neutrino mass models. In seesaw models based on an abelian family symmetry, the structures of the Dirac and the Majorana matrices are derived from the symmetry, and the neutrino masses and mixing angles are determined by the lepton charges under the family symmetry. Such models can lead to mass degeneracies and large mixing angles as well as mass hierarchies, the squared mass difference between quasi-degenerate neutrinos being determined by the symmetry. We present two models illustrating this approach.

A linearised model for calculating inertial forces on a particle in the presence of a permeate flow

description: Understanding particle transport and localisation in porous channels, especially at moderate Reynolds numbers, is relevant for many applications ranging from water reclamation to biological studies. Recently, researchers experimentally demonstrated that the interplay between axial and permeate flow in a porous microchannel results in a wide range of focussing positions of finite sized particles (Garcia & Pennathur 2017) . We numerically explore this interplay by computing the lateral forces on a neutrally buoyant spherical particle that is subject to both inertial and permeate forces over a range of experimentally relevant particle sizes and channel Reynolds numbers (Re). Interestingly, we show that the lateral forces on the particle is well represented using a linearised model across a range of permeate-to-axial flow rate ratios, $γ$. Specifically, our model linearises the effects of the permeate flow, which suggests that the interplay between axial and permeate flow on the lateral force on a particle can be represented as a superposition between the lateral (inertial) forces in pure axial flow and the viscous forces in pure permeate flow. We experimentally validate this observation for a range of flow conditions. The linearised behaviour observed significantly reduces the complexity and time required to predict the migration of inertial particles in permeate channels.

description: We test the precision with which weak lensing data can provide characteristic cluster mass profiles within Cold Dark Matter scenarios. Using a parallel treecode to simulate volumes as large as 500h-1 Mpc with good resolution, we generate samples of large clusters within a standard CDM model and an open CDM model with Omega_o=0.3. We mock high-quality lensing data by including realistic errors, selecting cluster samples based on velocity dispersion, and fitting profiles within a realistic range in radius. We find that a sample of ten clusters can determine logarithmic profile slopes with 1 sigma errors of about 7%. Increasing the sample size to twenty brings this error down to less than 5%, but this is still insufficient to distinguish the two models. However, measures of cluster profiles obtained with weak lensing do place strong constraints for general CDM--like models of structure formation, and we discuss the optimal strategy for obtaining data samples to use for this purpose.

description: With the growing popularity of microblogging services such as Twitter in recent years, an increasing number of users are using these services in their daily lives. The huge volume of information generated by users raises new opportunities in various applications and areas. Inferring user interests plays a significant role in providing personalized recommendations on microblogging services, and also on third-party applications providing social logins via these services, especially in cold-start situations. In this survey, we review user modeling strategies with respect to inferring user interests from previous studies. To this end, we focus on four dimensions of inferring user interest profiles: (1) data collection, (2) representation of user interest profiles, (3) construction and enhancement of user interest profiles, and (4) the evaluation of the constructed profiles. Through this survey, we aim to provide an overview of state-of-the-art user modeling strategies for inferring user interest profiles on microblogging social networks with respect to the four dimensions. For each dimension, we review and summarize previous studies based on specified criteria. Finally, we discuss some challenges and opportunities for future work in this research domain.

description: We report the detection of a 9.7 $μ$m silicate dust absorption feature toward the Cygnus A nucleus. Its optical depth is, however, significantly smaller than that expected from the dust extinction toward the background $L$-band emission region ($A_{\rm V}$ $\sim$ 150 mag). We argue that the most likely explanation for the small optical depth is that the obscuring dust exists so close to the central engine that a temperature gradient occurs. Our calculation confirms that the small optical depth and the spectral energy distribution at 3--30 $μ$m can be quantitatively reproduced by this explanation. Combining this picture with the huge AGN luminosity, the emission properties of Cygnus A are consistent with those of a type 2 quasar, that is, a highly luminous AGN that is highly obscured ($A_{\rm V}$ $>$ 50 mag) by a dusty torus with an inner radius of $$ a few 100 pc scale dust in the host galaxy.

description: Collective anisotropic particle flow, a general phenomenon present in relativistic heavy-ion collisions, can be separated from direct particle-particle correlations of different physics origin by virtue of its specific azimuthal pattern. We provide expressions for flow-induced two-particle azimuthal correlations, if one of the particles is detected under fixed directions with respect to the reaction plane. We consider an ideal case when the reaction plane angle is exactly known, as well as present the general expressions in case of finite event-plane resolution. We foresee applications for the study of generic two-particle correlations at large transverse momentum originating from jet fragmentation.

description: It is appealing to imagine software packages that provide personally tailored product recommendations to a consumer. One way to predict the rating of a particular product by a particular consumer is through inference from a database of previous ratings by many consumers of many products. Such a database consists of triplets of the forms: (product-identifier, consumer-identifier, rating) Generally such databases will be sparse, but nevertheless we may hope to derive considerable predictive information from them. A number of groups have begun developing distributed systems to collect and predict consumer preferences. Some have put significant effort into implementation issues to do with user interfaces, and the gathering and communicating of data via Internet and Usenet. Rather that launching into the development of a distributed system to address a particular consumer preference domain, our goal is to first understand the computational and statistical nature of the general problem. In this paper we develop two algorithms for this purpose and also relate them to a nearest-neighbor based algorithm of [Resnick et al., 1994]. We then examine their predictive performance and quality of recommendations on a number of synthetic and real-world databases. The real-world results suggest that a significant improvement can be obtained over simply recommending the most popular product in some but not all domains. At the end of the paper we discuss computational expense on large databases, the use of explicit features, and our ideas for improved inference algorithms.

description: We study the effect of gate-induced electric fields on the properties of semiconductor-superconductor hybrid nanowires which represent a promising platform for realizing topological superconductivity and Majorana zero modes. Using a self-consistent Schrödinger-Poisson approach that describes the semiconductor and the superconductor on equal footing, we are able to access the strong tunneling regime and identify the impact of an applied gate voltage on the coupling between semiconductor and superconductor. We discuss how physical parameters such as the induced superconducting gap and Landé g-factor in the semiconductor are modified by redistributing the density of states across the interface upon application of an external gate voltage. Finally, we map out the topological phase diagram as a function of magnetic field and gate voltage for InAs/Al nanowires.

description: To compare healthcare resource utilization (HCRU), costs, and treatment adherence and persistence for patients with bipolar disorder treated with lurasidone or cariprazine. Adult patients with bipolar disorder who initiated lurasidone or cariprazine as monotherapy or adjunctive therapy between 1 January 2016 and 30 June 2019 were identified from the IBM MarketScan Commercial and Medicare Supplemental Database. The date of the first claim for lurasidone or cariprazine was defined as the index date. A difference-in-difference (DID) analysis, which mitigated bias by using each cohort as its own control, compared the changes in HCRU and costs from 6-months pre-treatment (baseline) to 6-months post-treatment (follow-up) between the two cohorts. Treatment adherence (medication possession ratio and proportion of days covered) and persistence (time to discontinuation) were assessed during the 6-month post-treatment period. Adjusted analyses were conducted using inverse probability of treatment weighting on HCRU, costs, and time to discontinuation. A total of 16,683 patients treated with lurasidone and 4,128 patients treated with cariprazine were identified. Average age (39–40) and proportion female (68–71%) were similar between cohorts. Both cohorts had reductions in hospitalizations from baseline to follow-up, and the decrease was significantly greater for the lurasidone cohort compared to the cariprazine cohort (change in the proportions of patients with all-cause hospitalizations: −5.3% vs. −2.5%, DID = −2.8%, p<.001). The total healthcare costs increased from baseline to follow-up in both cohorts, and the increase was significantly lower for the lurasidone cohort (change in total all-cause healthcare cost per person: $3,413 vs. $4,642, DID=-$1,228, p = .022). The lurasidone cohort had significantly lower risk of discontinuing treatment (hazard ratio = 0.86, p<.001) than the cariprazine cohort. Patients with bipolar disorder treated with lurasidone had greater reductions in hospitalizations from 6-months pre-treatment to 6-months post-treatment and had a lower increase in total costs compared to patients treated with cariprazine.
Learning and Predicting Moving Object Trajectory: A Piecewise Trajectory Segment Approach

description: This paper presents an approach to predict future motion of a moving object based on its past movement. This approach is capable of learning object movement in an open environment, which is one of the limitions in some prior works. The proposed approach exploits the similarities of short-term movement behaviors by modeling a trajectory as concatenation of short segments. These short segments are assumed to be noisy realizations of latent segments. The transitions between the underlying latent segments are assumed to follow a Markov model. This predictive model was applied to two real-world applications and yielded favorable performance on both tasks.

description: A study was performed on phytoplanktonic flora, mainly diatoms,collected from the Hooghly estuarine area on the northeast coast of Bay ofBengal to observe the monthly and spatial variations in relative abundance,surface area of individual species, biovolume and total biovolume ofphytoplankton and the detailed effect of physico-chemical parameters onphytoplankton communities. Various meteorological, physico-chemical andbiological variables were considered in the accurate interpretation of the datagenerated during the study tenure. Since phytoplankton species are at the baseof aquatic ecological niches serving as producers, any change in physicochemicalfactors alter the biovolume of phytoplankton. In this study the mostprominent parameters to observe were biovolume and chlorophyll a and alsothe focus was on the role of the other environmental parameters in governanceof the two as they represent the health of the primary producer communities andin turn the health of the aquatic ecosystem most precisely. The phytoplanktonpopulations were found to be highly affected by water temperature, pH, salinityand the dissolved plant nutrients such as nitrate-nitrogen, phosphate-phosphorusand silicates. From the study it was also noted that a very significant positivecorrelation persists between the amount of chlorophyll a and the biovolume ofthe phytoplankters. The centric diatoms have been found to exceed theirpennate counterparts in individual biovolumes which is a direct reflection oftheir superior ability to utilize the available resources better than pennate one.
