description: We use an elastic rod model with contact to study the extension versus rotation diagrams of single supercoiled DNA molecules. We reproduce quantitatively the supercoiling response of overtwisted DNA and, using experimental data, we get an estimation of the effective supercoiling radius and of the twist rigidity of B-DNA. We find that unlike the bending rigidity, the twist rigidity of DNA seems to vary widely with the nature and concentration of the salt buffer in which it is immerged.

description: O ProAlcool não foi precedido por um estágio de pesquisas com programas específicos e coordenados objetivando a otimização dos processos produtivos ou a minimização/aproveitamento dos resíduos. Apenas depois que a imensa quantidade de vinhaça, gerada com a expansão da produção de etanol, evidenciou as dimensões do problema de sua destinação é que foram mobilizados esforços no sentido de se desenvolver possibilidades tecnológicas para sua solução. Entre 1975 e 1990, observam-se os maiores esforços no sentido de desenvolvimento de soluções tecnológicas para a destinação da vinhaça. Este artigo consiste num estudo sobre processos de busca. O estudo é desenvolvido com base em um arcabouço teórico-metodológico de corte evolucionista e com o auxílio de alguns trabalhos de referência, de um levantamento bibliográfico sobre o tema e de uma série de entrevistas com especialistas. Dentre os processos estudados, particularmente promissora parecia a alternativa da digestão anaeróbia, que oferecia a perspectiva não apenas da redução drástica da carga poluidora do resíduo, mas abria a possibilidade de geração do biogás, numa promessa de trajetória tecnológica alimentada pela crença no advento do paradigma da biotecnologia. Em meados dos anos 80, entretanto, a fertirrigação se colocava como a alternativa amplamente difundida, associando à solução do problema da destinação da vinhaça a virtude da substituição de insumos químicos para a fertilização da própria lavoura da cana-de-açúcar. Embora tenha havido grande formação de competências técnico-científicas e mesmo a articulação de uma diversidade notável de agentes, a linha de pesquisa da digestão anaeróbia - que havia acalentado tantas esperanças quanto ao fortalecimento do paradigma - foi desmobilizada.

description: We perform a quantitative study of the microscopic effective shell-model interactions in the valence sd shell, obtained from modern nucleon-nucleon potentials, chiral N3LO, JISP16 and Daejeon16, using No-Core Shell-Model wave functions and the Okubo-Lee-Suzuki transformation. We investigate the monopole properties of those interactions in comparison with the phenomenological universal sd-shell interaction, USDB. Theoretical binding energies and low-energy spectra of O isotopes and of selected sd-shell nuclei, are presented. We conclude that there is a noticeable improvement in the quality of the effective interaction when it is derived from the Daejeon16 potential. We show that its proton-neutron centroids are consistent with those from USDB. We then propose monopole modifications of the Daejeon16 centroids in order to provide an adjusted interaction yielding significantly improved agreement with the experiment. A spin-tensor decomposition of two-body effective interactions is applied in order to extract more information on the structure of the centroids and to understand the reason for deficiencies arising from our current theoretical approximations. The issue of the possible role of the three-nucleon forces is addressed.

description: We report the magnetotransport properties of thin polycrystalline films of the recently discovered non-oxide perovskite superconductor MgCNi3. CNi3 precursor films were deposited onto sapphire substrates and subsequently exposed to Mg vapor at 700 C. We report transition temperatures (Tc) and critical field values (Hc2) of MgCNi3 films ranging in thickness from 7.5 nm to 100 nm. Films thicker than ~40 nm have a Tc ~ 8 K, and an upper critical field Hc2 ~ 14 T, which are both comparable to that of polycrystalline powders. Hall measurements in the normal state give a carrier density, n =-4.2 x 10^22 cm^-3, that is approximately 4 times that reported for bulk samples.

description: To set the stage, I discuss the $β$-function of the massless O(N) model in three dimensions, which can be calculated exactly in the large N limit. Then, I consider SU(N) Yang-Mills theory in 2+1 space-time dimensions. Relating the $β$-function to the expectation value of the action in lattice gauge theory, and the latter to the trace of the energy-momentum tensor, I show that $\frac{d \ln g^2/μ}{d\ln μ}=-1$ for all $g$ and all N in one particular renormalization scheme. As a consequence, I find that the Yang-Mills $β$-function in three dimensions must have the same sign for all finite and positive bare coupling parameters in any renormalization scheme, and all non-trivial infrared fixed points are unreachable in practice.

description: We show that separable nonlinear least squares (SNLLS) estimation is applicable to all linear structural equation models (SEMs) that can be specified in RAM notation. SNLLS is an estimation technique that has successfully been applied to a wide range of models, for example neural networks and dynamic systems, often leading to improvements in convergence and computation time. It is applicable to models of a special form, where a subset of parameters enters the objective linearly. Recently, Kreiberg et al. (Struct Equ Model Multidiscip J 28(5):725–739, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1080/10705511.2020.1835484) have shown that this is also the case for factor analysis models. We generalize this result to all linear SEMs. To that end, we show that undirected effects (variances and covariances) and mean parameters enter the objective linearly, and therefore, in the least squares estimation of structural equation models, only the directed effects have to be obtained iteratively. For model classes without unknown directed effects, SNLLS can be used to analytically compute least squares estimates. To provide deeper insight into the nature of this result, we employ trek rules that link graphical representations of structural equation models to their covariance parametrization. We further give an efficient expression for the gradient, which is crucial to make a fast implementation possible. Results from our simulation indicate that SNLLS leads to improved convergence rates and a reduced number of iterations.
Critical level statistics and anomalously localized states at the Anderson transition

description: We study the level-spacing distribution function $P(s)$ at the Anderson transition by paying attention to anomalously localized states (ALS) which contribute to statistical properties at the critical point. It is found that the distribution $P(s)$ for level pairs of ALS coincides with that for pairs of typical multifractal states. This implies that ALS do not affect the shape of the critical level-spacing distribution function. We also show that the insensitivity of $P(s)$ to ALS is a consequence of multifractality in tail structures of ALS.

description: We present the high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of two new extremely metal-poor stars (EMPS) candidates in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans. These targets were pre-selected from medium resolution spectra centered around the Ca II triplet in the near-infrared and followed-up at higher resolution with VLT/UVES. We confirm their low metallicities with [Fe/H]=-2.95 and [Fe/H]=-3.01, placing them among the most metal-poor stars known in Sextans. The abundances of 18 elements, including C, Na, the alpha-elements, Fe-peak, and neutron capture elements, are determined. In particular, we present the first measurements of Zn in a classical dwarf at extremely low metallicity. There has been previous hints of a large scatter in the abundance ratios of the Sextans stellar population around [Fe/H] -3 when compared to other galaxies. We took the opportunity of this work to re-analyse the full sample of EMPS and find a Milky-Way -like plateau and a normal dispersion at fixed metallicity.

description: Dysdera aculeata group
 The aculeata group, sensu Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman (1988: 231).
 Diagnosis. The group can be distinguished by the following characters: hexagonal carapace, leg femora equipped with spines, psembolus distinctly longer than tegulum, psembolus with a median crest and acuminate apex (Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman 1988).
 Composition. Eleven species are assigned to this species group: D. aculeata Kroneberg, 1875 (Central Asia, probably Iran, introduced to Croatia), D. afghana Denis, 1958 (Afghanistan), D. arabica Deeleman-Reinhold, 1988 (Oman), D. concinna L. Koch, 1878 (Azerbaijan), D. dushengi Lin, Chang et Li, 2020 (Kazakhstan and Xinjiang), D. dysderoides (Caporiacco, 1947) (Ethiopia), D. limitanea Dunin, 1985 (Turkmenistan), D. pamirica Dunin, 1992 (Tajikistan), D. pococki Dunin, 1985 (Iran and Turkmenistan), D. tartarica Kroneberg, 1875 (Central Asia) and D. zarudnyi Charitonov, 1956 (Central Asia and Afghanistan).
 Comments. Deeleman-Reinhold & Deeleman (1988) did not examine D. pamirica and therefore this species was not assigned to any of the species groups proposed by them. D. pamirica is here considered a member of the aculeata group based on the proportions and the shape of its bulb: viz., psembolus significantly longer than tegulum, having a median crest and a pointed apex; see figs 7–9 in Dunin (1992).

Leptonic CP violation phases using an ansatz for the neutrino mass matrix and application to leptogenesis

description: We further study the previously proposed Ansatz, Tr(M)=0, for a prediagonal light Majorana type neutrino mass matrix. If CP violation is neglected this enables one to use the existing data on squared mass differences to estimate (up to a discrete ambiguity)the neutrino masses themselves. If it is assumed that only the conventional CP phase is present, the ansatz enables us to estimate this phase in addition to all three masses. If it is assumed that only the two Majorana CP phases are present, the Ansatz enables us to obtain a one parameter family of solutions for the masses and phases. This enables us to obtain a simple "global" view of lepton number violation effects. Furthermore, using an SO(10) motivation for the Ansatz suggests an amusing toy (clone) model in which the heavy neutrinos have the same mixing pattern and mass ratios as the light ones. In this case only their overall mass scale is not known (although it is constrained by the initial motivation). Using this toy model we make a rough estimate of the baryon to photon ratio induced by the leptogenesis mechanism. Solutions close to the CP conserving cases seem to be favored.

description: We present the spin and orbitally resolved local density of states (LDOS) for a single Mn impurity and for two nearby Mn impurities in GaAs. The GaAs host is described by a sp^3 tight-binding Hamiltonian, and the Mn impurity is described by a local p-d hybridization and on-site potential. Local spin-polarized resonances within the valence bands significantly enhance the LDOS near the band edge. For two nearby parallel Mn moments the acceptor states hybridize and split in energy. Thus scanning tunneling spectroscopy can directly measure the Mn-Mn interaction as a function of distance.

description: To examine the role of eosinophils in the pre-diagnostic phase of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), we studied the influence of genetic and shared environmental risk factors in a twin cohort of IBD. We analysed eosinophil derived neurotoxin (EDN) and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in faecal samples from twin pairs with Crohn’s disease (n = 37) or ulcerative colitis (n = 21) and from external healthy controls (n = 44). Eosinophils stained with eosinophil peroxidase (EPO) were quantified in rectal biopsies. Ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Twins with Crohn’ disease displayed higher levels of EDN (Ratio = 2.98, 1.65–5.37) and ECP (Ratio 1.83, 1.24–2.70) than their healthy siblings. Levels did not differ between healthy twin-siblings and external controls (EDN, Ratio = 1.52, 0.79–2.94 and ECP, Ratio = 0.93, 0.56–1.54). Higher levels of EDN (Ratio = 2.43, 1.13–5.24) and ECP (Ratio = 1.53, 0.92–2.53) were observed among twins with ulcerative colitis vs their healthy siblings. Levels did not differ between healthy twin-siblings and external controls (EDN, Ratio = 1.08, 0.51–2.25 and ECP, Ratio = 1.29, 0.74–2.26). Using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), we found no agreement in levels of EDN or ECP in discordant pairs, except for ECP in monozygotic Crohn’s disease pairs (ICC = 0.63). In contrast, agreement was observed in monozygotic pairs concordant for Crohn’s disease (EDN, ICC = 0.67 and ECP, ICC = 0.66). The number of eosinophils in rectum was increased in twins with ulcerative colitis vs their healthy sibling (Ratio = 2.22, 1.50–3.27). Activation of eosinophils in IBD seems to be a consequence of inflammation rather than an effect of genetic and shared environmental risk factors alone.

description: We present a description of the capabilities and performance of the NAval Ultra-Trace Isotope Laboratory's Universal Spectrometer (NAUTILUS) at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory. The NAUTILUS combines secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and single-stage accelerator mass spectrometry (SSAMS) into a single unified instrument for spatially resolved trace element and isotope analysis. The NAUTILUS instrument is essentially a fully functional SIMS instrument with an additional molecule-filtering detector, the SSAMS. The combination of these two techniques mitigates the drawbacks of each and enables new measurement paradigms for SIMS-like microanalysis. Highlighted capabilities include molecule-free raster ion imaging for direct spatially resolved analysis of heterogeneous materials with or without perturbed isotopic compositions. The NAUTILUS' sensitivity to trace elements is at least 10x better than commercial SIMS instruments due to near-zero background conditions. We describe the design and construction of the NAUTILUS, and its performance applied to topics in nuclear materials analysis, cosmochemistry, and geochemistry.

description: The Wilsonian renormalization group (WRG) equation is used to derive a new class of scale invariant field theories with nonvanishing anomalous dimensions in 2-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric nonlinear sigma models. When the coordinates of the target manifolds have nontrivial anomalous dimensions, vanishing of the $β$ function suggest the existence of novel conformal field theories whose target space is not Ricci flat. We construct such conformal field theories with ${\bf U}(N)$ symmetry. The theory has one free parameter a corresponding to the anomalous dimension of the scalar fields. The new conformal field theories are well behaved for positive a and have the central charge 3N, while they have curvature singularities at the boundary for a<0. When the target space is of complex 1-dimension, we obtain the explicit form of the Lagrangian, which reduces to two different kinds of free field theories in weak and in strong coupling limit. As a consistency test, the anomalous dimensions are reproduced in these two limits. The target space in this case looks like a semi-infinite cigar with one-dimension compactified to a circle.

description: Effects of nutritional intake on inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) flare resolution are unknown. We hypothesised that nutritional factors during hospitalisation for acute severe IBD are associated with risk of subsequent relapse. We also studied risk factors for inadequate energy intake. Patients admitted to the Karolinska Hospital Gastroenterology ward with IBD flare during 2015–2016 were retrospectively identified. In total, 91 patients were included. Data on nutrition, disease factors, inflammatory markers, and daily energy requirement were extracted. Requirement of new systemic steroid prescription, intensification of biological therapy, readmission, surgery, and calprotectin level were individually used as proxies for disease relapse. Follow-up was one year after discharge. Adjustments for age and sex were made where appropriate. Overall, 19%, 31%, and 45% of patients had days with energy intake <30, <50, and <70% of calculated requirement. Older age was associated with a higher number of days with energy intake <30, <50, and <70% of calculated requirement (regression coefficient 0.03, 0.04, 0.06 respectively, p = .012, .017, .008). The number of days with energy intake <30 and <70% of the calculated requirement and the length of the hospitalisation were associated with shorter time to new steroid prescription (hazard ratio 1.3, 1.1, 1.04 respectively, p = .016, .034, .011). CRP and calprotectin were not associated with relapse. Older age is a predictor of inadequate energy intake during hospitalisation for acute severe IBD. Inadequate energy intake adjusted for age and sex during IBD flare was better predictor of time to the next steroid-requiring relapse than inflammatory markers.

description: In current transport systems, short-term travel behaviour is to a large extent governed by long- term choices of mobility tool ownership. Such mobility tools usually require a substantial investment up-front and subsequently allow to travel with the specific modes at low (or zero) marginal cost. Eventually, distinct mobility portfolios arise dividing a population into car drivers and transit riders.

description: Primary importance is devoted to Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDI) of electrical machine and drive systems in modern industrial automation. The widespread use of Machine Learning techniques has made it possible to replace traditional motor fault detection techniques with more efficient solutions that are capable of early fault recognition by using large amounts of sensory data. However, the detection of concurrent failures is still a challenge in the presence of disturbing noises or when the multiple faults cause overlapping features. The contribution of this work is to propose a novel methodology using multi-label classification method for simultaneously diagnosing multiple faults and evaluating the fault severity under noisy conditions. Performance of various multi-label classification models are compared. Current and vibration signals are acquired under normal and fault conditions. The applicability of the proposed method is experimentally validated under diverse fault conditions such as unbalance and misalignment.

description: We present constraints on the formation and evolution of early-type galaxies (ETGs) with the empirical model EMERGE. The parameters of this model are adjusted so that it reproduces the evolution of stellar mass functions, specific star formation rates, and cosmic star formation rates since $z\approx10$ as well as 'quenched' galaxy fractions and correlation functions. We find that at fixed halo mass present-day ETGs are more massive than late-type galaxies, whereas at fixed stellar mass ETGs populate more massive halos in agreement with lensing results. This effect naturally results from the shape and scatter of the stellar-to-halo mass relation and the galaxy formation histories. The ETG stellar mass assembly is dominated by 'in-situ' star formation below a stellar mass of $3\times10^{11}\mathrm{M}_\odot$ and by merging and accretion of 'ex-situ' formed stars at higher mass. The mass dependence is in tension with current cosmological simulations. Lower mass ETGs show extended star formation towards low redshift in agreement with recent estimates from IFU surveys. All ETGs have main progenitors on the 'main sequence of star formation' with the 'red sequence' appearing at $z \approx 2$. Above this redshift, over 95 per cent of the ETG progenitors are star-forming. More than 90 per cent of $z \approx 2$ 'main sequence' galaxies with $m_* > 10^{10}\mathrm{M}_\odot$ evolve into present-day ETGs. Above redshift 6, more than 80 per cent of the observed stellar mass functions above $10^{9}\mathrm{M}_\odot$ can be accounted for by ETG progenitors with $m_* > 10^{10}\mathrm{M}_\odot$. This implies that current and future high redshift observations mainly probe the birth of present-day ETGs. The source code and documentation of EMERGE are available at github.com/bmoster/emerge.

On the secondly quantized theory of many-electron atom

description: Traditional theory of many-electron atoms and ions is based on the coefficients of fractional parentage and matrix elements of tensorial operators, composed of unit tensors. Then the calculation of spin-angular coefficients of radial integrals appearing in the expressions of matrix elements of arbitrary physical operators of atomic quantities has two main disadvantages: (i) The numerical codes for the calculation of spin-angular coefficients are usually very time-consuming; (ii) f-shells are often omitted from programs for matrix element calculation since the tables for their coefficients of fractional parentage are very extensive. The authors suppose that a series of difficulties persisting in the traditional approach to the calculation of spin-angular parts of matrix elements could be avoided by using this secondly quantized methodology, based on angular momentum theory, on the concept of the irreducible tensorial sets, on a generalized graphical method, on quasispin and on the reduced coefficients of fractional parentage.

description: Acquiring High Resolution (HR) Magnetic Resonance (MR) images requires the patient to remain still for long periods of time, which causes patient discomfort and increases the probability of motion induced image artifacts. A possible solution is to acquire low resolution (LR) images and to process them with the Super Resolution Generative Adversarial Network (SRGAN) to create a super-resolved version. This work applies SRGAN to MR images of the prostate and performs three experiments. The first experiment explores improving the in-plane MR image resolution by factors of 4 and 8, and shows that, while the PSNR and SSIM (Structural SIMilarity) metrics are lower than the isotropic bicubic interpolation baseline, the SRGAN is able to create images that have high edge fidelity. The second experiment explores anisotropic super-resolution via synthetic images, in that the input images to the network are anisotropically downsampled versions of HR images. This experiment demonstrates the ability of the modified SRGAN to perform anisotropic super-resolution, with quantitative image metrics that are comparable to those of the anisotropic bicubic interpolation baseline. Finally, the third experiment applies a modified version of the SRGAN to super-resolve anisotropic images obtained from the through-plane slices of the volumetric MR data. The output super-resolved images contain a significant amount of high frequency information that make them visually close to their HR counterparts. Overall, the promising results from each experiment show that super-resolution for MR images is a successful technique and that producing isotropic MR image volumes from anisotropic slices is an achievable goal.

description: A comprehensive set of criteria for evaluation of price determination specifications is proposed. A generalized theoretical relationship is developed to facilitate the search of appropriate structural models. Price elasticities, price flexibilities, and demand shares of the model are used to test the price response behavior of simultaneous structural models. A wheat model is used for empirical comparison of three popular inverse demand (price-dependent) structural model specifications: domestic demand model, export demand model, and stock demand model. Results indicate that price-depent domestic demand and price-dependent export demand are inappropriate, while the price-depend stock demand model generates credible results.

description: Mit dem neuen internationalen Strategischen Rahmenplan 2021-2030 haben sich erstmals alle sechs WHO-Regionen zum Eliminationsziel für Masern und Röteln verpflichtet oder unterstützen dieses Ziel. Die Elimination ist erreicht, wenn die Mitgliedsstaaten eine Unterbrechung der endemischen Transmission der Viren für mindestens 36 Monate mit Hilfe eines qualitativ hochwertigen Surveillancesystems nachweisen können. Dann kann die Regionale Verifizierungskommission (RVC) der WHO den Status der Elimination für dieses Land aussprechen. Wie das Epidemiologische Bulletin 15/2021 ausführt, ist 2020 die Masernfallzahl in Deutschland bedingt durch die COVID-19-Pandemie um 85,5% zurückgegangen, dennoch gelten sie lauf RVC nach wie vor als endemisch. Die endemischen Röteln hingegen gelten seit 2020 in Deutschland nach Auffassung der RVC als eliminiert.

description: We report the first demonstration that carbon nanotubes can be trapped and manipulated by optical tweezers. This observation is surprising because individual nanotubes are substantially smaller than the wavelength of light, and thus should not be amenable to optical trapping. Even so, nanotube bundles, and perhaps even individual nanotubes, can be transported at high speeds, deposited onto substrates, untangled, and selectively ablated, all with visible light. The use of holographic optical tweezers, capable of creating hundreds of independent traps simultaneously, suggests opportunities for highly parallel nanotube processing with light.

description: This paper determines the benefits and costs of firm-level advertising in a monopolistically competitive industry. The model is useful in an environment in which firm-level costs may be absent or imprecise. The empirical example uses data on the advertising for a new line of prune snacks by Sunsweet Growers between 2008 and 2010, revealing average benefit-cost estimates from $1.26 to $4.35 for every dollar allocated to the new product line.

Institutional Imbalance, Marketized Mentality, and the Justification of Instrumental Offenses: A Cross-National Application of Institutional Anomie Theory

description: The present study builds upon prior research that has suggested that the social psychological concept of “marketized mentality” (MM) can serve as a conceptual lynchpin to facilitate multilevel analyses informed by Institutional Anomie Theory (IAT), a macro-sociological theory of crime. We examine the connection between a societal indicator of institutional imbalance – a key IAT concept – and a measure of the prevalence of MM with a much larger sample of nations than analyzed previously (58 countries). In addition, we broaden the domain of “outcomes” related to MM to include an attitudinal variable relevant to crime – the willingness to justify instrumental offenses. Consistent with theoretical expectations, the results reveal significant relations between MM, the degree of institutional imbalance, and the willingness to justify instrumental offenses. These findings indicate the potential promise of developing an integrated, micro-macro approach to understanding criminological phenomena by incorporating MM within the IAT-analytic framework.

description: Traditionally, music was treated as an analogue signal and was generated manually. In recent years, music is conspicuous to technology which can generate a suite of music automatically without any human intervention. To accomplish this task, we need to overcome some technical challenges which are discussed descriptively in this paper. A brief introduction about music and its components is provided in the paper along with the citation and analysis of related work accomplished by different authors in this domain. Main objective of this paper is to propose an algorithm which can be used to generate musical notes using Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), principally Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. A model is designed to execute this algorithm where data is represented with the help of musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) file format for easier access and better understanding. Preprocessing of data before feeding it into the model, revealing methods to read, process and prepare MIDI files for input are also discussed. The model used in this paper is used to learn the sequences of polyphonic musical notes over a single-layered LSTM network. The model must have the potential to recall past details of a musical sequence and its structure for better learning. Description of layered architecture used in LSTM model and its intertwining connections to develop a neural network is presented in this work. This paper imparts a peek view of distributions of weights and biases in every layer of the model along with a precise representation of losses and accuracy at each step and batches. When the model was thoroughly analyzed, it produced stellar results in composing new melodies.
