Universal crossing probabilities and incipient spanning clusters in directed percolation

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Shape-dependent universal crossing probabilities are studied, via Monte Carlo simulations, for bond and site directed percolation on the square lattice in the diagonal direction, at the percolation threshold. Since the system is strongly anisotropic, the shape-dependence enters through the effective aspect ratio r_eff=cL^z/t, where c is a non-universal constant and z the anisotropy exponent. A particular attention is paid to the influence of the initial state on the universal behaviour of the crossing probability. Using anisotropic finite-size scaling and generalizing a simple argument given by Aizenman for isotropic percolation, we obtain the behaviour of the probability to find n incipient spanning clusters on a finite system at time t. The numerical results are in good agreement with the conjecture.

description: This article discusses how the language of causality can shed new light on the major challenges in machine learning for medical imaging: 1) data scarcity, which is the limited availability of high-quality annotations, and 2) data mismatch, whereby a trained algorithm may fail to generalize in clinical practice. Looking at these challenges through the lens of causality allows decisions about data collection, annotation procedures, and learning strategies to be made (and scrutinized) more transparently. We discuss how causal relationships between images and annotations can not only have profound effects on the performance of predictive models, but may even dictate which learning strategies should be considered in the first place. For example, we conclude that semi-supervision may be unsuitable for image segmentation---one of the possibly surprising insights from our causal analysis, which is illustrated with representative real-world examples of computer-aided diagnosis (skin lesion classification in dermatology) and radiotherapy (automated contouring of tumours). We highlight that being aware of and accounting for the causal relationships in medical imaging data is important for the safe development of machine learning and essential for regulation and responsible reporting. To facilitate this we provide step-by-step recommendations for future studies.

description: Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are now known to be the product of the merger of two compact objects. However, two possible formation channels exist: neutron star -- neutron star (NS -- NS) or NS -- black hole (BH). The landmark SGRB 170817A provided evidence for the NS -- NS channel, thanks to analysis of its gravitational wave signal. We investigate the complete population of SGRBs with an associated redshift (39 events), and search for any divisions that may indicate that a NS -- BH formation channel also contributes. Though no conclusive dichotomy is found, we find several lines of evidence that tentatively support the hypothesis that SGRBs with extended emission (EE; 7 events) constitute the missing merger population: they are unique in the large energy band-sensitivity of their durations, and have statistically distinct energies and host galaxy offsets when compared to regular (non-EE) SGRBs. If this is borne out via future gravitational wave detections it will conclusively disprove the magnetar model for SGRBs. Furthermore, we identify the first statistically significant anti-correlation between the offsets of SGRBs from their host galaxies and their prompt emission energies.

description: Radical-pair reactions pertinent to biological magnetic field sensing are an ideal system for demonstrating the paradigm of quantum biology, the exploration of quantum coherene effects in complex biological systems. We here provide yet another fundamental connection between this biochemical spin system and quantum information science. We introduce and explore a formal measure quantifying singlet-triplet coherence of radical-pairs using the concept of quantum relative entropy. The ability to quantify singlet-triplet coherence opens up a number of possibilities in the study of magnetic sensing with radical-pairs. We first use the explicit quantification of singlet-triplet coherence to affirmatively address the major premise of quantum biology, namely that quantum coherence provides an operational advantage to magnetoreception. Secondly, we use the concept of incoherent operations to show that incoherent manipulations of nuclear spins can have a dire effect on singlet-triplet coherence when the radical-pair exhibits electronic-nuclear entanglement. Finally, we unravel subtle effects related to exchange interactions and their role in promoting quantum coherence.

The remnants of the armed conflict: the body in/after violence in contemporary Colombian cinema
Creators: name: Medina, Sandra Carolina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Contemporary Colombian cinema powerfully addresses 52 years of war between the nation’s leftist guerrillas, right-wing paramilitary forces, and military. The films in my project, produced since 2010 by filmmakers who experienced the conflict, (re)present assassinations, disappearances, kidnappings, and torture. They depict the fragmentation of bodies, the destruction of families, and the millions of people displaced by the war as well as the assaults and abuses endured by the most vulnerable groups, such as Afro-Colombians, women, and children. My research relies on theorists who explore viewers’ haptic experience (living in/through/as a body) and the silences and absences of trauma, race, gender, and physical disability, such as Jennifer Barker, Cathy Caruth, Aníbal Quijano, and Judith Butler. Chapter 1 evaluates the effects of violence in rural areas, the victimization of children, the use of empathy, and the traumatic events related to displacement through the study of the animated documentary Pequeñas voces (2010; dir. Jairo Carrillo). In chapter 2, I study sexual violence through the literal and metaphorical use of silence in the films Alias María (2015; dir. José Luis Rugeles) and Oscuro animal (2016; dir. Felipe Guerrero). Finally, I read La Playa D.C. (2012; dir. Juan Andrés Arango) as a map that records, writes, exhibits, and exposes possible avenues for Afro-Colombians after displacement and the underlying causes and effects of a traumatic experience. By analyzing a variety of film techniques, genres, and approaches, such as animation, silence, sound and music, I discuss the impact of film on fostering acceptance and a sense of community in its spectators, illustrating the difficult, long, and almost impossible task of achieving peace in Colombia.

description: A possible mechanism for the removal of the orbital degeneracy in RTiO3 (where R=La, Y, ...) is considered. The calculation is based on the Kugel-Khomskii Hamiltonian for electrons residing in the t2g orbitals of the Ti ions, and uses a self-consistent pe rturbation expansion in the interaction between the orbital and the spin degrees of freedom. The latter are assumed to be ordered in a Neel state, brought about by delicate interactions that are not included in the Kugel-Khomskii Hamiltonian. Within our model calculations, each of the t2g bands is found to acquire a finite, temperature-dependent dispersion, that lifts the orbital degeneracy. The orbital excitations are found to be heavily damped over a rather wide band. Consequently, they do not participate as a separate branch of excitations in the low-temperature thermodynamics.e

description: Since the start of the gravitational wave observation era, no joint high energy neutrino and gravitational wave event has been found. These non-detections could be used for setting an upper bound on the neutrino emission properties for gravitational wave events individually or for a set of them. Although in the previous joint high energy neutrino and gravitational wave event searches upper limits have been found, there is a lack of consistent method for the calculation. The problem addressed in this paper is finding those limits for astrophysical events which are localized poorly in the sky where the sensitivities of the neutrino detectors change significantly and can also emit neutrinos, for example the gravitational wave detections. Here we describe methods for assigning limits for expected neutrino count, emission fluence and isotropically equivalent emission based on maximum likelihood estimators. Then we apply described methods on the three GW detections from aLIGO's first observing run (O1) and find upper limits for them.

Power-law trapping in the volume-preserving Arnold-Beltrami-Childress map

description: Understanding stickiness and power-law behavior of Poincaré recurrence statistics is an open problem for higher-dimensional systems, in contrast to the well-understood case of systems with two degrees-of-freedom. We study such intermittent behavior of chaotic orbits in three-dimensional volume-preserving systems using the example of the Arnold-Beltrami-Childress map. The map has a mixed phase space with a cylindrical regular region surrounded by a chaotic sea for the considered parameters. We observe a characteristic overall power-law decay of the cumulative Poincaré recurrence statistics with significant oscillations superimposed. This slow decay is caused by orbits which spend long times close to the surface of the regular region. Representing such long-trapped orbits in frequency space shows clear signatures of partial barriers and reveals that coupled resonances play an essential role. Using a small number of the most relevant resonances allows for classifying long-trapped orbits. From this the Poincaré recurrence statistics can be divided into different exponentially decaying contributions which very accurately explains the overall power-law behavior including the oscillations.

description: It is still common wisdom amongst economists, politicians and lay people that economic growth is a necessity of our social systems, at least to avoid distributional conflicts. This paper challenges such belief moving from a purely physical theoretical perspective. It formally considers the constraints imposed by a finite environment on the prospect of continuous growth, including the dynamics of costs. As costs grow faster than production it is easy to deduce a final unavoidable global collapse. Then, analyzing and discussing the evolution of the unequal share of wealth under the premises of growth and competition, it is shown that the increase of inequalities is a necessary consequence of the premises.

description: We discuss the generation of entangled states of two two-level atoms coupled simultaneously with a dissipated atom. The dissipation of the atom is supposed to come from its coupling to a noise with adjustable intensity. We describe how the entanglement between the atoms arise in such a situation, and wether a noise except the white one could help preparation of entanglement. Besides, we confirm that the entanglement is maximized for intermediate values of the noise intensity, while it is a monotonic function of the spontaneous rates. This resembles the phenomenon of stochastic resonance and sheds more light on the idea to exploit noise in quantum information processing.

description: We study a model of two coupled two-level atoms (qubits) interacting off-resonance (at non-zero detuning) with a single mode radiation field. This system is of special interest in the field of quantum information processing (QIP) and can be realized in electron spin states in quantum dots or Rydberg atoms in optical cavities and superconducting qubits in linear resonators. We present an exact analytical solution for the time evolution of the system starting from any initial state. Utilizing this solution, we show how the entanglement sudden death (ESD), which represents a major threat to QIP, can be efficiently controlled by tuning atom-atom coupling and non-zero detuning. We demonstrate that while one of these two system parameters may not separately affect the ESD, combining the two can be very effective, as in the case of an initial correlated Bell state. However in other cases, such as a W-like initial state, they may have a competing impacts on ESD. Moreover, their combined effect can be used to create ESD in the system as in the case of an anti-correlated initial Bell state. A clear synchronization between the population inversion collapse-revival pattern and the entanglement dynamics is observed at all system parameter combinations. Nevertheless, only for initial states that may evolve to ESD, the population inversion revival oscillations, where exchange of energy between the atoms and the field takes place, temporally coincide with the entanglement revival peaks, whereas the population collapse periods match the ESD intervals. The variation of the radiation field intensity has a clear impact on the duration of the ESD at any combination of the other system parameters.

Efficient and Robust Models for Trust Evaluation in Open, Dynamic, and Sociable Environments

description: Trust evaluation is widely used as an assistance for decision-making in sociable environments, such as social networks, sensor networks, web services, e-commerce, Crowdsourcing, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing, where entities cooperate to accomplish their objectives. However, due to the open, dynamic and decentralised properties of sociable environments, entities only have a local view of the environment, making it difficult to evaluate other’s trustworthiness based on their limited interaction experiences. In this situation, entities usually search for trusted paths between a source entity and a target entity based on neighbours, which incurs problems of being disturbed by unreliable trust paths and subjective neighbours. Besides, entities will seek information about target entities from third-party advisors, which incurs problems like being misled by subjective advisors and being deceived by dishonest advisors. Overall, there are two challenging problems for trust valuation in sociable environments: 1) uncertainties caused by decentralization and subjective neighbours/advisors; and 2) risks caused by dishonest advisors.

description: We extend an earlier proposal for a gauge invariant description of off-shell open strings (at tree level), using loop variables, to off-shell closed strings (at tree level). The basic idea is to describe the closed string amplitudes as a product of two open string amplitudes (using the technique of kawai, Lewellen and Tye). The loop variable techniques that were used earlier for open strings can be applied here {\it mutatis mutandis}. It is a proposal for a theory whose on-shell amplitudes coincide with those of the closed bosonic string in 26 dimensions. It is also gauge invariant off-shell. As was the case with the open string, the interacting closed string looks like a free closed string thickened to a band.

We observe the signatures of Pauli spin blockade (PSB) with a large singlet-triplet energy splitting of ~1.1 meV and extract the g factor. By analyzing the the PSB leakage current, we obtain a spin-orbit length l_so of ~ 40-100 nm. Furthermore, we demonstrate the electric dipole spin resonance. These results lay a solid foundation for implementing high quality tunable hole spin-orbit qubits.

description: • By 2050, global agricultural demand is projected to grow by 70-100 percent due to population growth, energy demands, and higher incomes in developing countries. Meeting this demand from existing agricultural resources will require raising global agricultural total factor productivity (TFP)1 by a similar level. Maintaining the U.S. contribution to global food supply would also require a similar rise in U.S. agricultural TFP. • TFP growth in U.S. agriculture is predicated on long-term investments in public agricultural research and development (R&D). Productivity growth also springs from agricultural extension, farmer education, rural infrastructure, private agricultural R&D, and technology transfers, but the force of these factors is compounded by public agricultural research. • The rate of TFP growth (and therefore output growth) of U.S. agriculture has averaged about 1.5 percent annually over the past 50 years. Stagnant (inflation-adjusted) funding for public agricultural research since the 1980s may be causing agricultural TFP growth to slow down, although statistical analyses of productivity growth trends are inconclusive. • ERS simulations indicate that if U.S. public agricultural R&D spending remains constant (in nominal terms) until 2050, the annual rate of agricultural TFP growth will fall to under 0.75 percent and U.S. agricultural output will increase by only 40 percent by 2050. Under this scenario, raising output beyond this level would require bringing more land, labor, capital, materials, and other resources into production. • Additional public agricultural R&D spending would raise U.S. agricultural productivity and output growth. Raising R&D spending by 3.73 percent annually (offsetting the historical rate of inflation in research costs) would increase U.S. agricultural output by 73 percent by 2050. Raising R&D spending by 4.73 percent per year (1-percent annual growth in inflation-adjusted spending) would increase output by 83 percent by 2050.

description: The form factors parameterizing the weak $D$ and $D_s$ transitions to light pseudoscalar and vector mesons are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark model based on the quasipotential approach. The special attention is paid to the systematic account of the relativistic effects including transformation of the meson wave function from the rest to moving reference frame and contributions of the intermediate negative-energy states. The form factors are expressed through the overlap integrals of the meson wave functions, which are taken from previous studies of meson spectroscopy. They are calculated in the whole range of the transferred momentum $q^2$. Convenient parameterization of the form factors which accurately reproduces numerical results is given. The obtained values of the form factors and their ratios at $q^2=0$ agree well with the ones extracted form the experimental data. On the basis of these form factors and helicity formalism, differential and total semileptonic decay rates of $D$ and $D_s$ mesons as well as different asymmetries and polarization parameters are calculated. The detailed comparison of the obtained results with other theoretical calculations and experimental data is given.

description: The quantum superalgebra $U_q[gl(2/1)]$ is given as both a Drinfel'd--Jimbo deformation of $U[gl(2/1)]$ and a Hopf superalgebra. Finite--dimensional representations of this quantum superalgebra are constructed and investigated in a basis of its even subalgebra $U_q[gl(2)\oplus gl(1)]$. The present method for constructing representations of a quantum superalgebra combines previously suggested ones for the cases of superalgebras and quantum superalgebras, and, therefore, has an advantage in comparison with the latter.

description: We propose a model that can account for the experimentally observed phase behavior of DNA-nanoparticle assemblies (R. Jin et al., JACS 125, 1643 (2003); T. A. Taton et al., Science 289, 1757 (2000)). The binding of DNA-coated nano-particles by dissolved DNA linker can be described by exploiting an analogy with quantum particles obeying fractional statistics. In accordance with experimental findings, we predict that the phase-separation temperature of the nano-colloids increases with the DNA coverage of the colloidal surface. Upon the addition of salt, the demixing temperature increases logarithmically with the salt concentration. Our analysis suggests an experimental strategy to map microscopic DNA sequences onto the macroscopic phase behavior of the DNA-nanoparticle solutions. Such an approach should enhance the efficiency of methods to detect (single) mutations in specific DNA sequences.

description: Over the past few decades, conservation programs have provided incentives to farmers to make production decisions that place a priority on environmental improvements in addition to production of commodities (Claassen et al., 2007). More recently, markets have been developed or proposed that allow farmers to sell “credits” for environmental improvements in water quality, carbon sequestration, wetlands restoration, and other areas. These markets use an environmental baseline to help determine whether the proposed improvements qualify for market credits, and, if so, the number that should be awarded. Selection of a baseline emissions level is often a critical and contentious element of program design for carbon or water-quality credit markets. Baselines help ensure that credits generated for sale through markets are “additional” (i.e., the environmental improvements qualifying for offset credits would not have taken place in the absence of the market or program incentive). Additionality is frequently cited as a requirement in defining the integrity of environmental improvement credits (Three-Regions Offsets Working Group, 2010). Giving credits or payments for changes that have already been implemented, or are likely to be implemented soon even in the absence of the program, can undermine the environmental gains expected from the program. Due to the complexity and costs associated with defining, measuring, and verifying environmental baseline levels across heterogeneous landscapes, program managers may face a tradeoff between the precision with which changes in environmental performance can be estimated and the cost of refining those estimates. Balancing these two considerations is often the motivation behind selection of a particular baseline in environmental market design. Other market design considerations include those related to program eligibility restrictions, scope of measurement (i.e., accounting for leakage), offset permanence, and measurement uncertainty.1 This brief focuses exclusively on baselines to clarify their role in the larger context of offset market design.

description: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown good performance in polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification due to the automation of feature engineering. Excellent hand-crafted architectures of CNNs incorporated the wisdom of human experts, which is an important reason for CNN's success. However, the design of the architectures is a difficult problem, which needs a lot of professional knowledge as well as computational resources. Moreover, the architecture designed by hand might be suboptimal, because it is only one of thousands of unobserved but objective existed paths. Considering that the success of deep learning is largely due to its automation of the feature engineering process, how to design automatic architecture searching methods to replace the hand-crafted ones is an interesting topic. In this paper, we explore the application of neural architecture search (NAS) in PolSAR area for the first time. Different from the utilization of existing NAS methods, we propose a differentiable architecture search (DAS) method which is customized for PolSAR classification. The proposed DAS is equipped with a PolSAR tailored search space and an improved one-shot search strategy. By DAS, the weights parameters and architecture parameters (corresponds to the hyperparameters but not the topologies) can be optimized by stochastic gradient descent method during the training. The optimized architecture parameters should be transformed into corresponding CNN architecture and re-train to achieve high-precision PolSAR classification. In addition, complex-valued DAS is developed to take into account the characteristics of PolSAR images so as to further improve the performance. Experiments on three PolSAR benchmark datasets show that the CNNs obtained by searching have better classification performance than the hand-crafted ones.

description: The treatment of pregnant ewes with persistent macrocyclic lactone (ML) anthelmintic products is common in some countries, with the intent of alleviating the potential negative impacts of gastrointestinal nematode parasites on production, health and welfare. However, some MLs such as moxidectin, are lipophilic compounds that can cross the placenta, and many are secreted into colostrum and milk, yet the effect of MLs on neonatal lamb behaviour remains unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of prenatal administration of persistent ML anthelmintics on the behaviour of ewes and their new-born lambs. Sixty mixed-age pregnant twin-bearing ewes were randomly allocated to one of three groups (n = 20/group): 1) administered a subcutaneous injection containing moxidectin 2–3 weeks prior to lambing (MOX), 2) administered one controlled-release capsule containing abamectin and albendazole 2–3 weeks prior to lambing (CRC), and 3) a control group that was not treated or handled other than routine care (CON). The ewes were housed indoors 4 weeks before parturition was expected to commence and remained in the same pens (n = 2 ewes / treatment) until 1 week after lambing. Behaviour of the ewes and lambs was monitored continuously using security cameras positioned above each pen. Ewe and lamb behaviour was evaluated for 3 h after parturition. Ewe grooming of the lamb, and lamb head shaking, standing, udder seeking and suckling behaviour was assessed using Cox Proportional hazard models. There was no evidence that abamectin (and albendazole) affected ewe or lamb behaviour (P > 0.10). Neonatal lambs from ewes administered moxidectin tended to be slower to shake their heads after parturition (hazard ratio: 0.65; P = 0.08), and were slower to attempt to stand (hazard ratio: 0.61; P = 0.05) compared with lambs from control ewes. These are the first known data to indicate changes in neonatal lamb behaviour associated with anthelmintic treatment of their dam. Further research is required to validate these findings and understand whether the delayed neonatal lamb behavioural development associated with moxidectin has implications for lamb vigour or survivability.
