description: At present, millions of Ethereum smart contracts are created per year and attract financially motivated attackers. However, existing analyzers do not meet the need to precisely analyze the financial security of large numbers of contracts. In this paper, we propose and implement FASVERIF, an automated analyzer for fine-grained analysis of smart contracts' financial security. On the one hand, FASVERIF automatically generates models to be verified against security properties of smart contracts. On the other hand, our analyzer automatically generates the security properties, which is different from existing formal verifiers for smart contracts. As a result, FASVERIF can automatically process source code of smart contracts, and uses formal methods whenever possible to simultaneously maximize its accuracy.
 We evaluate FASVERIF on a vulnerabilities dataset by comparing it with other automatic tools. Our evaluation shows that FASVERIF greatly outperforms the representative tools using different technologies, with respect to accuracy and coverage of types of vulnerabilities.

description: Wood pellets have been used in domestic heating appliances for three decades. However, because the share of renewable energy for heating will likely rise over the next several years, alternative biomass fuels, such as short-rotation coppice or energy crops, will be utilized. We tested particulate emissions from the combustion of standard softwood pellets and three alternative pellets (poplar, Miscanthus sp., and wheat straw) for their ability to induce inflammatory, cytotoxic, and genotoxic responses in a mouse macrophage cell line. Our results showed clear differences in the chemical composition of the emissions, which was reflected in the toxicological effects. Standard softwood and straw pellet combustion resulted in the lowest PM1 mass emissions. Miscanthus sp. and poplar combustion emissions were approximately three times higher. Emissions from the herbaceous biomass pellets contained higher amounts of chloride and organic carbon than the emissions from standard softwood pellet combustion. Additionally, the emissions of the poplar pellet combustion contained the highest concentration of metals. The emissions from the biomass alternatives caused significantly higher genotoxicity than the emissions from the standard softwood pellets. Moreover, straw pellet emissions caused higher inflammation than the other samples. Regarding cytotoxicity, the differences between the samples were smaller. Relative toxicity was generally highest for the poplar and Miscanthus sp. samples, as their emission factors were much higher. Thus, in addition to possible technical problems, alternative pellet materials may cause higher emissions and toxicity. The long-term use of alternative fuels in residential-scale appliances will require technological developments in both burners and filtration.

description: This paper introduces the notion of mesh patterns in multidimensional permutations and initiates a systematic study of singleton mesh patterns (SMPs), which are multidimensional mesh patterns of length 1. A pattern is avoidable if there exist arbitrarily large permutations that do not contain it. As our main result, we give a complete characterization of avoidable SMPs using an invariant of a pattern that we call its rank. We show that determining avoidability for a $d$-dimensional SMP $P$ of cardinality $k$ is an $O(d\cdot k)$ problem, while determining rank of $P$ is an NP-complete problem. Additionally, using the notion of a minus-antipodal pattern, we characterize SMPs which occur at most once in any $d$-dimensional permutation. Lastly, we provide a number of enumerative results regarding the distributions of certain general projective, plus-antipodal, minus-antipodal and hyperplane SMPs.

description: Structure-preserving discretizations of the SIR model are presented by focusing on the hodograph transformation and the conditions for integrability for their discrete SIR models are given. For those integrable discrete SIR models, we derive their exact solutions as well as conserved quantities. If we choose the parameter appropriately for one of our proposed discrete SIR models, it conserves the conserved quantities of the SIR model. We also investigate an ultradiscretizable discrete SIR model.

description: The direct transfer of flame-synthesized aerosols of silica nanoparticles into aqueous suspensions is investigated. Silica nanoparticle aerosols with production rates of 0.5 g/h and different mean diameters and degrees of agglomeration are transferred into liquid suspensions by means of a novel wet electrostatic precipitator. Particle collection efficiencies above 99.999% were measured. The influence of the transfer on the particle size distribution was investigated by comparison of aerosol and suspensions size measurements. Aerosol sizes were measured with the scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS), and suspension size measurements were conducted by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and by SMPS measurements of the aerosolized suspension employing a novel nebulizer. Depending on the aerosol and stabilization conditions, particle transfer with nearly no influence on the particle size distribution is possible. Suspensions generated from the same particle aerosol by direct transfer and by sonication of the respective powder were compared. In contrast to the direct transfer, the aerosol particle size distribution could not be restored by ultrasonication. Copyright © 2015 American Association for Aerosol Research

description: Word sense induction (WSI) is a difficult problem in natural language processing that involves the unsupervised automatic detection of a word's senses (i.e. meanings). Recent work achieves significant results on the WSI task by pre-training a language model that can exclusively disambiguate word senses, whereas others employ previously pre-trained language models in conjunction with additional strategies to induce senses. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised method based on hierarchical clustering and invariant information clustering (IIC). The IIC is used to train a small model to optimize the mutual information between two vector representations of a target word occurring in a pair of synthetic paraphrases. This model is later used in inference mode to extract a higher quality vector representation to be used in the hierarchical clustering. We evaluate our method on two WSI tasks and in two distinct clustering configurations (fixed and dynamic number of clusters). We empirically demonstrate that, in certain cases, our approach outperforms prior WSI state-of-the-art methods, while in others, it achieves a competitive performance.

description: We explore the fixed-point structure of QED-like theories upon the inclusion of a Pauli spin-field coupling. We concentrate on the fate of UV-stable fixed points recently discovered in $d=4$ spacetime dimensions upon generalizations to lower as well as higher dimensions for an arbitrary number of fermion flavors $N_\mathrm{f}$. As an overall trend, we observe that going away from $d=4$ dimensions and increasing the flavor number tends to destabilize the non-Gaussian fixed points discovered in four spacetime dimensions. A notable exception is a non-Gaussian fixed point at finite Pauli spin-field coupling but vanishing gauge coupling, which also remains stable down to $d=3$ dimensions and for small flavor numbers. This includes also the range of degrees of freedom used in effective theories of layered condensed-matter systems. As an application, we construct renormalization group trajectories that emanate from the non-Gaussian fixed point and approach a long-range regime in the conventional QED${}_3$ universality class that is governed by the interacting (quasi) fixed point in the gauge coupling.

description: The present study aimed to investigate microbial communities in seven Indian composts and their potential for biocontrol of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. In addition, identification of bioactive substances in disease suppressive composts was also attempted. Composts were chosen based on disease suppressiveness and subjected to molecular microbial analyses. Total genomic DNA from the composts was extracted and amplified with polymerase chain reaction using primers targeting the 18S rRNA and 16S rRNA genes of fungi and bacteria, respectively. Denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) fingerprinting and DNA sequencing were used to identify the fungal and bacterial targets. Phylogenetic analysis of the fungal 18S rRNA ITS gene sequences showed that phylum Ascomycota was dominant in all composts, while in the bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences, the phylum Proteobacteria was dominant. Some fungi in disease suppressive composts grouped phylogenetically close to F. oxysporum. Bacterial sequences with close similarity (>95% identity) with Actinobacterium showed a strong presence only in disease suppressive composts. Disease suppressive composts formed a separate group in the cluster analysis of 18S rRNA ITS and 16S rRNA gene sequences. Gas chromatography-time of flight-mass spectrometry was performed with compost extracts to determine if bioactive substances were present in disease suppressive composts. The analysis of compost organic matter showed a negative association of disease suppressiveness with phloroglucinol, sitosterol, and monoenoic fatty acid, while cholesterol and certain organic acids were positively associated with suppressiveness.

description: RESUMO

Este artigo faz uma abordagem expositiva da atuação do poder judiciário do Tocantins no que se refere ao enfrentamento da violência doméstica e familiar contra a mulher. O estudo foi desenvolvido mediante revisão bibliográfica, tendo os resultados sido apreciados qualitativamente. O objetivo principal foi estabelecer o parâmetro de atuação do judiciário tocantinense, com foco na prevenção e punição dos atos de violência de gênero contra a mulher dentro das relações domésticas e familiares. Especificamente, este estudo analisa a estrutura, as ações e programas implementados pelo judiciário do Tocantins para o enfrentamento da matéria, bem como avalia a efetividade dessas medidas. A partir da discussão e reflexão sobre o tema, é possível depreender que o judiciário tocantinense tem se portado atuante diante da violência de gênero contra a mulher, porém, ainda não superou alguns percalços estruturais para a ampliação e concretização da tutela jurisdicional específica da mulher vítima de violência doméstica e familiar.

description: Collective organisation of patterns into ring-like configurations has been well-studied when patterns are subject to either weak or semi-strong interactions. However, little is known numerically or analytically about their formation when the patterns are strongly interacting. We prove that approximate strongly interacting patterns can emerge in various ring-like dihedral configurations, bifurcating from quiescence near a Turing instability in generic two-component reaction-diffusion systems. The methods used are constructive and provide accurate initial conditions for numerical continuation methods to path-follow these ring-like patterns in parameter space. Our analysis is complemented by numerical investigations that illustrate our findings.

description: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) converting enzyme (TACE) has been considered one of the principal therapeutic targets for the treatment of TNF-dependent pathologies. Several TACE inhibitors have been reported, but none of them has been successfully passed to phase II clinical trials. In the present work, we attempted to design highly selective new non-hydroxamate sulfonamide TACE inhibitors. The docking study was performed on one of the crystal structures of TACE, selected based on its resolution and R value, to tackle the flexibility issue of the active site. The results allowed us to distinguish the analogues with a higher binding affinity toward the active site of TACE and to identify the substituent of analogues needed for binding with the surrounding site of the enzyme. Finally the analogues were docked on crystal structures of six different matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) for a selectivity study of TACE over MMPs. Some of these analogues were synthesized and subjected to preliminary testing for in vivo anti-inflammatory activity and TACE inhibitory activity.

description: Climate change is the leading cause in the acidification of marine ecosystems, which may influence the chemo-detection of prey by the sea star Pycnopodia helianthoides. Interference with predation may negatively impact marine food-web dynamics in P. helianthoides habitats. We explored how the detection of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis varied in 15 P. helianthoides specimens in lowered pH seawater and 15 specimens in current pH seawater. We observed that there was no significant difference in the number of prey detected by P. helianthoides between the treatments and that no significant difference was present between the durations of successful trials. These results indicate that future marine acidification may not have as large of an impact on Pycnopodia helianthoides foraging as expected.

description: Tumor microenvironment-responsive nano drug delivery vehicles are gaining mounting attention in the field of biomedical sciences. The hypoxic response of the tumorous cells due to very low partial pressure of oxygen (some time less than 2.5 mm of Hg) in the tumor tissues makes hypoxia-responsive drug delivery system as the more appealing in cancer chemotherapy. Based on these considerations, we synthesized hypoxia-responsive polymeric materials methoxy poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (glutamic acid)-graft-6-(2-nitroimidazole) hexyl amine (mPEG-b-PLG-g-NID) by conjugation of the hydrophobic nitro imidazole derivative (NID)[6-(2-nitroimidazole) hexyl amine] with the pendant carboxylic group of poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (L-glutamic acid)(mPEG-b-PLG). The structure and degree of substitution were confirmed by proton NMR, FTIR, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The degree of substitution was found to enhance with the increase in NID to polymer ratio. The hypoxia response of the material was evaluated by UV–Vis spectroscopy and zeta potential measurements. Doxorubicin was hydrophobically encapsulated in the micellar core of the hypoxia-responsive nanoparticles. The drug-loaded micelles showed faster release in hypoxic condition as compared to normoxic conditions. Moreover, the developed polymeric system was found non-toxic to MCF-7 cell line, thus suggesting its biocompatibility and suitability as drug delivery device.

description: Purpose: To investigate the presence of the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and its receptor (VEGFR) in human orbital preadipocytes, and to evaluate the effect of VEGF on human orbital preadipocyte differentiation and adipogenesis in vitro.Results: Four isoforms of VEGF (VEGF121, 155, 189, and 206), VEGFR-1, VEGF-2, and neuropilin-1 were expressed in human orbital preadipocytes. Treatment with 100 ng/ml VEGF induced higher expressions of C/EBPα and LPL than the non-treated control (p = 0.03 and p = 0.01) or treatment with 50ng/ml (p = 0.04 for both). At both concentrations VEGF enhanced the accumulation of intra-cytoplasmic lipid versus the control, and treatment with 100 ng/ml VEGF induced more lipid accumulation than treatment with 50 ng/ml VEGF (p = 0.03).Conclusions: VEGF and VEGFR were observed in human orbital preadipocytes, and exogenous VEGF enhanced adipogenesis in these cells. These results suggest that VEGF plays a role as an autocrine or paracrine growth factor during human orbital preadipocyte differentiation.

description: We attempt to answer whether Birkhoff's theorem (BT) is valid in the Einstein-Aether (EA) theory. The BT states that any spherically symmetric solution of the vacuum field equations must be static, unique, and asymptotically flat. For a general spherically symmetric metric with metric functions $A(r,t)$ \& $B(r,t)$, and aether components $a(r,t)$ \& $b(r,t)$, we prove the conditions for the staticity of spacetime using two different methods. We point out that BT is valid in EA theory only for special values of $c_1+c_3$, $c_1+c_4$, and $c_2$, where we can show that all these special cases are asymptotically flat. In particular, when the aether has only a temporal component, i.e., $b(r,t)=0$ and the $c_{14} \neq 0$ case gives us spherically symmetric static black holes without horizons; that is, they have naked singularities, at least for special values of $c_{14}$. Thus, the cosmic censorship conjecture is violated for the case BT holds. However, when we have an aether vector with temporal and radial components, we only prove that the staticity and the flatness at infinity hold for a special metric and particular combination of the aether parameters. For this case, there exist universal horizons instead of naked singularities.

description: In the presence of extra neutrino states at high scales, the low-energy effective $3\times 3$ leptonic mixing matrix (LMM) is in general nonunitary. We revisit the question of what is our current knowledge of individual LMM matrix elements without assuming unitarity. We first demonstrate that a minimal set of experimental constraints suffices in bounding LMM nonunitarity parameters to the level of ${\cal O}(10^{-3})$, without the use of neutrino oscillation data. We then revisit oscillation results as a complementary cross-check, using different physics and different experimental techniques to probe a similar parameter space. We correct some common misconceptions in the neutrino nonunitarity literature resulting from an incautious treatment of input parameters. We find that neutrino oscillation experiments can constrain LMM nonclosure, but, contrary to claims in the literature, are completely insensitive to the overall normalization of the LMM. Thus we conclude that oscillation experiments, including the future DUNE experiment, have no power in excluding nonunitarity altogether.

description: Projects on GitHub rely on the automation provided by software development bots to uphold quality and alleviate developers' workload. Nevertheless, the presence of bots can be annoying and disruptive to the community. Backed by multiple studies with practitioners, this paper provides guidelines for developing and maintaining software bots. These guidelines aim to support the development of future and current bots and social coding platforms.
Falsifiable analog model predictions of $W$ mass in CDF II and ATLAS

description: The CDF II measurement of $W$ boson mass is at significant ($6.9\,σ$) tension with the Standard Model, and moderate ($4.0\,σ$) tension with recent results from ATLAS. Any attempt to interpret this as a signature of new physics requires high-precision, robust, falsifiable predictions. The Classical Analogue to the Standard Model In pseudo-Riemannian spacetime (CASMIR) is an analogue model predicting $W$ and $Z$ boson masses of $80.3587(22)~\mathrm{GeV}/c^2$ and $91.1877(35)~\mathrm{GeV}/c^2$ respectively. During baryon collisions satisfying $\sqrt{s}< 3.09~\mathrm{TeV}$, CASMIR predicts a color-mediated enhancement of $W$ and $Z$ boson masses, becoming $80.4340(22)~\mathrm{GeV}/c^2$ and $91.1922(35)~\mathrm{GeV}/c^2$ respectively. The unenhanced masses are consistent with ATLAS data collected at $\sqrt{s}=7~\mathrm{TeV}$, and the enhanced masses are consistent with CDF II data collected at $\sqrt{s}=1.96~\mathrm{TeV}$. According to CASMIR, operation of the LHC at centre-of-mass energies small compared with $3.09~\mathrm{TeV}$ but large enough for $W$ boson formation should permit ATLAS to replicate the result from CDF II.

On the correspondence between symmetries of two-dimensional autonomous dynamical systems and their phase plane realisations

description: We consider the relationship between symmetries of two-dimensional autonomous dynamical system in two common formulations; as a set of differential equations for the derivative of each state with respect to time, and a single differential equation in the phase plane representing the dynamics restricted to the state space of the system. Both representations can be analysed with respect to the symmetries of their governing differential equations, and we establish the correspondence between the set of infinitesimal generators of the respective formulations. Our main result is to show that every generator of a symmetry of the autonomous system induces a well-defined vector field generating a symmetry in the phase plane and, conversely, that every symmetry generator in the phase plane can be lifted to a generator of a symmetry of the original autonomous system, which is unique up to constant translations in time. The process of lifting requires the solution of a linear partial differential equation, which we refer to as the lifting condition. We discuss in detail the solution of this equation in general, and exemplify the lift of symmetries in two commonly occurring examples; a mass conserved linear model and a non-linear oscillator model.

description: Quantum information scrambling is a unitary process that destroys local correlations and spreads information throughout the system, effectively hiding it in nonlocal degrees of freedom. In principle, unscrambling this information is possible with perfect knowledge of the unitary dynamics [B. Yoshida and A. Kitaev, arXiv:1710.03363.]. However, this Letter demonstrates that even without previous knowledge of the internal dynamics, information can be efficiently decoded from an unknown scrambler by monitoring the outgoing information of a local subsystem. Surprisingly, we show that scramblers with unknown internal dynamics, which are rapidly mixing but not fully chaotic, can be decoded using Clifford decoders. The essential properties of a scrambling unitary can be efficiently recovered, even if the process is exponentially complex. Specifically, we establish that a unitary operator composed of $t$ non-Clifford gates admits a Clifford decoder up to $t\le n$.

description: Scrambling of quantum information is an important feature at the root of randomization and benchmarking protocols, the onset of quantum chaos, and black-hole physics. Unscrambling this information is possible given perfect knowledge of the scrambler [arXiv:1710.03363.]. We show that one can retrieve the scrambled information even without any previous knowledge of the scrambler, by a learning algorithm that allows the building of an efficient decoder. Remarkably, the decoder is classical in the sense that it can be efficiently represented on a classical computer as a Clifford operator. It is striking that a classical decoder can retrieve with fidelity one all the information scrambled by a random unitary that cannot be efficiently simulated on a classical computer, as long as there is no full-fledged quantum chaos. This result shows that one can learn the salient properties of quantum unitaries in a classical form, and sheds a new light on the meaning of quantum chaos. Furthermore, we obtain results concerning the algebraic structure of $t$-doped Clifford circuits, i.e., Clifford circuits containing t non-Clifford gates, their gate complexity, and learnability that are of independent interest. In particular, we show that a $t$-doped Clifford circuit $U_t$ can be decomposed into two Clifford circuits $U_{0},U^{\prime}_0$ that sandwich a local unitary operator $u_t$, i.e., $U_t=U_{0} u_{t}U_{0}^{\prime}$. The local unitary operator $u_t$ contains $t$ non-Clifford gates and acts nontrivially on at most $t$ qubits. As simple corollaries, the gate complexity of the $t$-doped Clifford circuit $U_t$ is $O(n^2+t^3)$, and it admits a efficient process tomography using $\mathrm{poly}(n,2^t)$ resources.
