description: We study the possible advantages of adopting of quantum strategies in multi-player evolutionary games. We base our study on the three-player Prisoner's Dilemma (PD) game. In order to model the simultaneous interaction between three agents we use hypergraphs and hypergraph networks. In particular, we study two types of networks: a random network and a SF-like network. The obtained results show that in the case of a three player game on a hypergraph network, quantum strategies are not necessarily stochastically stable strategies. In some cases, the defection strategy can be as good as a quantum one.

description: We prove a strengthening of the "reciprocity conjecture" of Khare and Wintenberger. The input to the original conjecture is an odd prime p, a CM number field F containing the pth roots of unity, and a pair of primes of the maximal totally real subfield E of F that are inert in the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of E. In analogy to a statement about generalized Jacobians of curves, the conjecture asserts the equality of two procyclic subgroups of the Galois group G of the maximal p-ramified abelian pro-p extension of E. The first is the intersection of the subgroup of G fixing the cyclotomic Z_p-extension with the closed subgroup of G generated by the two primes. The second is generated by the class of an exact sequence defining the minus part of the p-part of the ray class group of the cyclotomic Z_p-extension of F of conductor the product of the two primes of E.

description: We call a probabilistic theory "complete" if it cannot be further refined by no-signaling hidden-variable models, and name a theory "spooky" if every equivalent hidden-variable model violates Shimony's Outcome Independence. We prove that a complete theory is spooky if and only if it admits a pure steering state in the sense of Schrödinger. Finally we show that steering of complementary states leads to a Schrödinger's cat-like paradox.

description: A marginal problem asks whether a given family of marginal distributions for some set of random variables arises from some joint distribution of these variables. Here we point out that the existence of such a joint distribution imposes non-trivial conditions already on the level of Shannon entropies of the given marginals. These entropic inequalities are necessary (but not sufficient) criteria for the existence of a joint distribution. For every marginal problem, a list of such Shannon-type entropic inequalities can be calculated by Fourier-Motzkin elimination, and we offer a software interface to a Fourier-Motzkin solver for doing so. For the case that the hypergraph of given marginals is a cycle graph, we provide a complete analytic solution to the problem of classifying all relevant entropic inequalities, and use this result to bound the decay of correlations in stochastic processes. Furthermore, we show that Shannon-type inequalities for differential entropies are not relevant for continuous-variable marginal problems; non-Shannon-type inequalities are, both in the discrete and in the continuous case. In contrast to other approaches, our general framework easily adapts to situations where one has additional (conditional) independence requirements on the joint distribution, as in the case of graphical models. We end with a list of open problems. A complementary article discusses applications to quantum nonlocality and contextuality.

description: We give explicit estimates between the spectral radius and the densities of short cycles for finite d-regular graphs. This allows us to show that the essential girth of a finite d-regular Ramanujan graph G is at least c log log |G|. We prove that infinite d-regular Ramanujan unimodular random graphs are trees. Using Benjamini-Schramm convergence this leads to a rigidity result saying that if most eigenvalues of a d-regular finite graph G fall in the Alon-Boppana region, then the eigenvalue distribution of G is close to the spectral measure of the d-regular tree. Kesten showed that if a Cayley graph has the same spectral radius as its universal cover, then it must be a tree. We generalize this to unimodular random graphs.

description: We propose an alternative, nonsingular, cosmic scenario based on gravitationally induced particle production. The model is an attempt to evade the coincidence and cosmological constant problems of the standard model ($Λ$CDM) and also to connect the early and late time accelerating stages of the Universe. Our space-time emerges from a pure initial de Sitter stage thereby providing a natural solution to the horizon problem. Subsequently, due to an instability provoked by the production of massless particles, the Universe evolves smoothly to the standard radiation dominated era thereby ending the production of radiation as required by the conformal invariance. Next, the radiation becomes sub-dominant with the Universe entering in the cold dark matter dominated era. Finally, the negative pressure associated with the creation of cold dark matter (CCDM model) particles accelerates the expansion and drives the Universe to a final de Sitter stage. The late time cosmic expansion history of the CCDM model is exactly like in the standard $Λ$CDM model, however, there is no dark energy. This complete scenario is fully determined by two extreme energy densities, or equivalently, the associated de Sitter Hubble scales connected by $ρ_I/ρ_f=(H_I/H_f)^{2} \sim 10^{122}$, a result that has no correlation with the cosmological constant problem. We also study the linear growth of matter perturbations at the final accelerating stage. It is found that the CCDM growth index can be written as a function of the $Λ$ growth index, $γ_Λ \simeq 6/11$. In this framework, we also compare the observed growth rate of clustering with that predicted by the current CCDM model. Performing a $χ^{2}$ statistical test we show that the CCDM model provides growth rates that match sufficiently well with the observed growth rate of structure.

Optical pumping cycle of the negative nitrogen-vacancy centre in diamond

description: The negative Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) colour centre in diamond is an atomic-level impurity that is remarkably well suited for quantum information processing and quantum metrology applications. Underlying these properties is the fact that optical illumination causes the NV centre to preferentially populate one of its three spin levels. The mechanism that gives rise to this spin polarisation has not been well understood, despite intense research interest in the NV centre and its applications. This thesis arrives at an account of the spin polarisation mechanism, although a detailed theoretical treatment remains outstanding. The energy level structure of the NV centre is investigated using techniques of solid state spectroscopy. These include absorption and photoluminescence measurements made on diamonds at cryogenic and room temperatures in the presence of uniaxial stress, magnetic fields, and microwaves. Pulsed light experiments allow the dynamic processes within the NV centre to be measured. It is shown that at room temperature the orbital doublet excited state behaves like an orbital singlet, and this description is elegantly confirmed by single-site observations. This picture of the excited state is inconsistent with cryogenic measurements, and its behaviour is examined across a range of temperatures in order to resolve this tension. It is shown that electron-vibration interaction accounts for the quenching of orbital properties in the excited state with temperature. A new optical transition within the NV centre is reported at a wavelength of 1042 nm. It is established that this transition occurs between the intermediate singlet levels which are thought to provide the decay pathway that produces spin polarisation. The results are consistent with this understanding, and the order and properties of these singlet levels are established. Electron-vibration interaction is observed to be important within the singlet system. It is shown that electron-vibration interaction is an important detail in the NV optical pumping cycle. Taking it into consideration leads to the first plausible physical description of the spin polarisation mechanism. -- provided by Candidate.

description: Understanding the non-adiabatic pressure, or relative entropy, perturbation is crucial for studies of early-universe vorticity and Cosmic Microwave Background observations. We calculate the evolution of the linear non-adiabatic pressure perturbation from radiation domination to late times, numerically solving the linear governing equations for a wide range of wavenumbers. Using adiabatic initial conditions consistent with WMAP seven year data, we find nevertheless that the non-adiabatic pressure perturbation is non-zero and grows at early times, peaking around the epoch of matter/radiation equality and decaying in matter domination. At early times or large redshifts (z=10,000) its power spectrum peaks at a comoving wavenumber k~0.2h/Mpc, while at late times (z=500) it peaks at k~0.02 h/Mpc.

description: The mechanisms underlying mast seeding have traditionally been studied by collecting long-term observational data on seed crops and correlating seedfall with environmental variables. Significant progress in ecological genomics will improve our understanding of the evolution of masting by clarifying the genetic basis of masting traits and the role of natural selection in shaping those traits. Here, we summarize three important aspects in studying the evolution of masting at the genetic level: which traits govern masting, whether those traits are genetically regulated, and which taxa show wide variation in these traits. We then introduce recent studies on the molecular mechanisms of masting. Those studies measure seasonal changes in gene expression in natural conditions to quantify how multiple environmental factors combine to regulate floral initiation, which in many masting plant species is the single largest contributor to among-year variation in seed crops. We show that Fagaceae offers exceptional opportunities for evolutionary investigations because of its diversity at both at the phenotypic and genetic levels and existing documented genome sequences.This article is part of the theme issue ‘The ecology and evolution of synchronized seed production in plants’.

description: Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on making predictions about some outcome based on information from a dataset. In cybersecurity, machine learning is often used to improve intrusion detection systems and identify trends in data that could indicate an oncoming cyber attack. Data privacy is an extremely important aspect of cybersecurity, and there are many industries that have more demanding laws to ensure the security of user data. Due to these regulations, machine learning algorithms can not be widely utilized in these industries to improve outcomes and accuracy of predictions. However, federated learning is a recent development in the field of machine learning that allows for the training of a model using decentralized data. Federated learning is a practical solution in cases where a machine learning model needs to be trained with data from different servers, devices, or organizations and the data from one party can not be shared with the other parties. Federated learning is also a form of cybersecurity in itself, as it improves the security of machine learning models in terms of data privacy. This paper explains the concept of federated learning and its specific applications to cybersecurity, with a focus on federated learning’s impact on the healthcare industry. Cyber threats to machine learning models as well as recent improvements in federated learning algorithms and their implications in the field of cybersecurity are also discussed.

Particularly critical was the reservoir of maritime expertise and experience mobilized to master wartime logistics. Meanwhile command of the seas, blockade, and blacklisting effectively cut Central Power over sea supply lines.

description: We investigate the possibility of fast, accurate and reliable computation of the Cauchy principal value integrals $\mathrm{P}\!\int_{a}^{b} f(x)(x-τ)^{-1} dx$ $(a < τ< b)$ using standard adaptive quadratures. In order to properly control the error tolerance for the adaptive quadrature and to obtain a~reliable estimation of the approximation error, we research the possible influence of round-off errors on the computed result. As the numerical experiments confirm, the proposed method can successfully compete with other algorithms for computing such type integrals. Moreover, the presented method is very easy to implement on any system equipped with a reliable adaptive integration subroutine.

description: A leading approach to the modelling of extreme mass ratio inspirals involves the treatment of the smaller mass as a point particle and the computation of a regularized self-force acting on that particle. In turn, this computation requires knowledge of the regularized retarded field generated by the particle. A direct calculation of this regularized field may be achieved by replacing the point particle with an effective source and solving directly a wave equation for the regularized field. This has the advantage that all quantities are finite and require no further regularization. In this work, we present a method for computing an effective source which is finite and continuous everywhere, and which is valid for a scalar point particle in arbitrary geodesic motion in an arbitrary background spacetime. We explain in detail various technical and practical considerations that underlie its use in several numerical self-force calculations. We consider as examples the cases of a particle in a circular orbit about Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes, and also the case of a particle following a generic time-like geodesic about a highly spinning Kerr black hole. We provide numerical C code for computing an effective source for various orbital configurations about Schwarzschild and Kerr black holes.

description: In Newfoundland, the cult of the fallen followed the military disaster that befell the Newfoundland Regiment at Beaumont Hamel on 1 July 1916. Newfoundland and imperial officials portrayed the tragedy as a glorious sacrifice, beginning a wartime tradition of honouring the dead as martyrs. While supportive of the veneration of the fallen, William Coaker, the leader of the Fishermen’s Protective Union, was uncomfortable with their commemoration as crusaders for British “liberty,” by which local elites meant liberal democracy and laissez faire, and which focused on remembering the dead with monuments. Coaker’s views triggered a bitter debate about the meaning of the fallen, fostering divisive politics and the end of responsible government in 1934.

The substrate specificity and conformational flexibility of ketosteroid hydroxylases
Creators: name: Penfield, Jonathan

description: 3-Ketosteroid-9α-hydroxylase (KshAB) is a Rieske oxygenase involved in bacterial steroid degradation. Bacteria such as Rhodococcus rhodochrous DSM43269 harbor up to five KshA homologues (numbered 1 to 5) that appear to be involved in degrading different steroids. Previous work indicated that KshA5 (DSM43269) transforms an unusually broad range of 3-ketosteroids while KshA1 (DSM43269) and KshAMtb of Mycobacterium tuberculosis have strong preference for 3-ketosteroids with side chains at C-17. To better understand KshAs in general, KshA1 and KshA5 were purified anaerobically and characterized. Steady-state kinetic studies revealed that KshA1 has 10- to 100-fold higher apparent specificity constant for ketosteroids possessing long C17 side chain such as 3-oxo-23,24-bisnorchola-1,4-dien-22-oate (4-BNC), and is thus similar to KshAMtb. By contrast, KshA5 had highest specificity for substrates with C17-oxo (e.g., apparent kcat/Km > 10⁵ s-¹ M-¹ for 4-estrendione and 5α-androstandione vs. 10² s-¹ M-¹ for 1,4-BNC-CoA). However, KshA5 displayed very strong substrate inhibition with 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione (ADD) and 4-BNC (KSS ~110 μM) despite hydroxylation well coupled to O₂ consumption and turnover occurring at reasonable rates (apparent kcat ~0.7 s-¹). Crystallographic structures of four KshA:substrate complexes were determined: KshA1:ADD (2.4 Å), KshAMtb:ADD (2.3 Å), KshA5:ADD (1.8 Å) and KshA5:1,4-BNC-CoA (2.6 Å). In each, the substrate was bound in a similar orientation with the steroid’s C9 closest to the active site iron. In comparison to a structure of substrate-free KshA5 (2.6 Å resolution), the catalytic iron was displaced up to 3.1 Å in the complexes with ADD and 1,4-BNC-CoA. This was accompanied by similar magnitude shift in the helices harboring the iron-coordinating residues. The net effect was an unusually large distance between the iron and C9 of the substrate (6.3 Å). Additionally, the active site opening of KshA5 was occluded from bulk solvent by a loop comprising residues 217 to 233 in substrate-free and ADD-bound structures while the KshA5:1,4-BNC-CoA complex exhibited an open active site, as observed in KshA1 and KshAMtb structures, containing a similar disordered loop region. The loop conformation in these structures and the ability of KshA5 to turnover CoA thioesters demonstrate unexpected conformational flexibility in correlation with interesting kinetic behavior in a Rieske oxygenase.

description: Basierend auf qualitativen Erhebungen (teilnehmende Beobachtung, themenzentriert-narratives Interview) in den ‚Orientierungsphasen‘ der Studienfächer Physik, Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Sozialwissenschaften werden Göttinger Praxen studentischer Hochschuleinführung rekonstruiert. Diese erfahren in öffentlich-medialen wie hochschulinternen Diskursen eine zunehmende Kritik. Der Beitrag folgt den sich andeutenden Diskursbewegungen, die auf Basis der strukturellen Eigenlogiken der sog. O-Phase verortet und kontrastiert werden. Erörtert werden eine Grundstruktur des Exzesses, darin eingebettete, gewaltförmige vergeschlechtlichte und sexualisierte Praxen sowie die Funktionalität und Anschlussfähigkeit dieser Form des Studieneinstiegs innerhalb gegenwärtiger Transformationen der Hochschule. Der Beitrag entwickelt eine empirisch fundierte Perspektivierung, Zusammenführung und Reformulierung von Kritik. Based on qualitative field work (participant observation, narrative interviews), this paper reconstructs practices of student university initiation for the Physics, Economics and Social Sciences programs in Göttingen. These initiation rites (‘O-Phase’) have increasingly drawn criticism both in the public as well as in discussions within the university itself. The article follows emerging movements of discourse, con- trasting them with the rites’ intrinsic logic. Regarding their underlying structure of excess and their vio- lently gendered and sexualized practices, it discusses whether this way of beginning academic programs is appropriate in the context of the university’s current transformations. The article develops an empiri- cally grounded localization, compilation and reformulation of this criticism.

description: Wartime science and technology developed in the context of the Second Industrial Revolution, with far-reaching consequences for national and international scientific institutions and social structures. Trench warfare posed new problems requiring scientific and technical expertise in areas such as artillery, chemical warfare, cartography and reconnaissance, aviation, infantry weapons and body armor, armored vehicles, communications, logistics, and military medicine. Meanwhile, the submarine revolutionized naval warfare. The greater integration of science and warfare set the pattern for modern “total war” by blurring the line between soldiers and civilians, as well as by nullifying pre-war international conventions intended to limit wartime excesses.

X-ray Properties of Young Early Type Galaxies: II. Abundance Ratio in the Hot ISM

description: Using Chandra X-ray observations of young, post-merger elliptical galaxies, we present X-ray characteristics of age-related observational results, by comparing with typical old elliptical galaxies in terms of metal abundances in the hot interstellar matter (ISM). While the absolute element abundances may be uncertain because of unknown systematic errors and partly because of the smaller amount of hot gas in young ellipticals, the relative abundance ratios (e.g., the alpha-element to Fe ratio, most importantly Si/Fe ratio) can be relatively well constrained. We find that in two young elliptical galaxies (NGC 720 and NGC 3923) the Si to Fe abundance ratio is super-solar (at a 99% significance level), in contrast to typical old elliptical galaxies where the Si to Fe abundance ratio is close to solar. Also the O/Mg ratio is close to solar in the two young elliptical galaxies, as opposed to the sub-solar O/Mg ratio reported in old elliptical galaxies. Both features appear to be less significant outside the effective radius (roughly 30" for the galaxies under study), consistent with the observations that confine to the centermost regions the signatures of recent star formation in elliptical galaxies. Observed differences between young and old elliptical galaxies can be explained by the additional contribution from SNe II ejecta in the former. In young elliptical galaxies, the later star formation associated with recent mergers would have a dual effect, resulting both in galaxy scale winds - and therefore smaller observed amounts of hot ISM - because of the additional SNII heating, and in different metal abundances, because of the additional SNII yields.

Evidence for two neutrino mass eigenstates from SN 1987A and the possibility of superluminal neutrinos

Year: 2011

description: This paper reports a new phenomenological analysis of the neutrino burst detected from SN 1987 A, and it reveals the presence of two mass eigenstates. The heavier mass eigenstate has $m_H=21.4 \pm 1.2 eV/c^2$, while the lighter one has $m_L=4.0 \pm0.5 eV/c^2 $. It is not the first paper to make such a claim, but it expands on a 1988 conditional analysis by Cowsik, and it attempts to make the evidence more robust through an improved statistical analysis, and through providing reasons why alternative explanations are unlikely. It also shows how the result can be made consistent with existing smaller electron neutrino mass limits with the existence of a third tachyonic (superluminal) mass eigenstate.

description: Since 1905 Britain had paid the Afghan ruler, Amir Habibullah, a subsidy and had controlled Afghanistan’s foreign relations, and he maintained Afghanistan’s neutrality throughout World War I in spite of strong pressure to induce him to join the Central Powers. The war did not have much of an impact on most Afghans (although there were shortages of some commodities), but many died in the global influenza outbreak which began in 1918. When the war ended, Britain failed to reward the Amir for his refusal to take advantage of British weakness during it, and he was assassinated early in 1919. His successor, Amir Amanullah, launched the third Anglo-Afghan War, following which the country became fully independent, but Amanullah’s hasty modernization was to lead to his overthrow in 1929.
