description: In this paper, we prove that the dynamical model of a quadrotor subject to linear rotor drag effects is differentially flat in its position and heading. We use this property to compute feed-forward control terms directly from a reference trajectory to be tracked. The obtained feed-forward terms are then used in a cascaded, nonlinear feedback control law that enables accurate agile flight with quadrotors. Compared to state-of-the-art control methods, which treat the rotor drag as an unknown disturbance, our method reduces the trajectory tracking error significantly. Finally, we present a method based on a gradient-free optimization to identify the rotor drag coefficients, which are required to compute the feed-forward control terms. The new theoretical results are thoroughly validated trough extensive comparative experiments.

description: CCD images of Hα and R-band emission in 120 spiral galaxies were obtained using the now-retired No. 1-0.9 m telescope of Kitt Peak National Observatory. These images were used to derive the distribution and total flux of continuum-subtracted Hα line emission, and therefore the Hα surface brightnesses and high mass star formation rates in these galaxies. We find a small but significant variation in the mean Hα surface brightness for spiral galaxies along the Hubble sequence; the Sd-Ir galaxies exhibit a mean Hα surface brightness 1.4 times higher than the Sbc-Scd galaxies, and 2-3 times higher than the Sa-Sb galaxies. Estimates for the total formation rate for high mass stars have been compared with global molecular gas masses to determine the global efficiency of high mass star formation (= L_*_/M_gas_) as a function of morphological type and environment. We find that the mean efficiency of high mass star formation in this sample of spiral galaxies shows little dependence on morphological type for galaxies of type Sa through Scd, although there is a wide range in star formation efficiencies within each type. Galaxies in disturbed environments (i.e., strongly interacting systems) are found to have a mean star formation efficiency ~4 times higher than in isolated spiral galaxies, uncorrected for extinction. This confirms previous findings (Young et al. 1986a,b; Sanders et al. 1986; Solomon & Sage 1988; Tinney et al. 1990), based on the far-infrared luminosity rather than the Hα luminosity to trace the rate of high mass star formation, that the mean star formation efficiency among isolated galaxies is significantly lower than that among interacting systems. This result provides further confirmation that the rate of high mass star formation is reasonably well traced by both the Hα and the IR luminosity in spiral galaxies.

description: El contrato internacional es un mecanismo idóneo para establecer las bases de una negociación en el contexto internacional. Desde el momento en que se tornó necesario internacionalizar el derecho mercantil para favorecer la contratación internacional, se realizaron estudios y análisis de las diferentes normativas que regulan este tipo de contratos. La Convención de Viena surge con la finalidad de establecer un régimen moderno, con cierta uniformidad y con una mayor equidad respecto de los contratos internacionales de compraventa. Con el fin de contribuir con la seguridad jurídica a aquellos intercambios entre agentes internacionales y a la par intentar una disminución de los gastos operacionales. Los objetivos del presente trabajo están determinados por una revisión de la normativa. Por esto, para el desarrollo del presente trabajo, se expone el siguiente interrogante, sobre el incumplimiento esencial del contrato de mercancías a la luz de la Convención de Viena y los Principios UNIDROIT, como punto de estudio de esta temática: ¿Cuáles son los elementos que debe considerar, la víctima, el juez o el árbitro, para pedir y declarar la resolución del contrato de mercancías como consecuencia del incumplimiento esencial, teniendo en cuenta que no se encuentra contemplada expresamente por la Convención de Viena?
description: The international contract is an ideal mechanism for establishing the foundations of a negotiation in the international context. Since it became necessary to internationalize commercial law to facilitate international contracting, studies and analyses of the various regulations that govern such contracts have been conducted. The Vienna Convention emerged with the aim of establishing a modern regime, with some uniformity and greater fairness regarding international sales contracts. Its goal is to enhance legal certainty for exchanges between international parties while also attempting to reduce operational costs. The objectives of this work are determined by a review of the regulations. Therefore, in the course of this work, the following question is posed, regarding the essential breach of the goods contract in light of the Vienna Convention and the UNIDROIT Principles, as the focal point of this theme: What are the factors that the victim, the judge, or the arbitrator should consider when requesting and declaring the resolution of the goods contract as a result of an essential breach, considering that it is not expressly provided for by the Vienna Convention?

description: We describe a percolation problem on lattices (graphs, networks), with edge weights drawn from disorder distributions that allow for weights (or distances) of either sign, i.e. including negative weights. We are interested whether there are spanning paths or loops of total negative weight. This kind of percolation problem is fundamentally different from conventional percolation problems, e.g. it does not exhibit transitivity, hence no simple definition of clusters, and several spanning paths/loops might coexist in the percolation regime at the same time. Furthermore, to study this percolation problem numerically, one has to perform a non-trivial transformation of the original graph and apply sophisticated matching algorithms. Using this approach, we study the corresponding percolation transitions on large square, hexagonal and cubic lattices for two types of disorder distributions and determine the critical exponents. The results show that negative-weight percolation is in a different universality class compared to conventional bond/site percolation. On the other hand, negative-weight percolation seems to be related to the ferromagnet/spin-glass transition of random-bond Ising systems, at least in two dimensions.

description: We study the influence of global baryon number conservation on the non-critical baseline of net baryon cumulants in heavy-ion collisions in a given acceptance, accounting for the asymmetry between the mean-numbers of baryons and antibaryons. We derive the probability distribution of net baryon number in a restricted phase space from the canonical partition function that incorporates exact conservation of baryon number in the full system. Furthermore, we provide tools to compute cumulants of any order from the generating function of uncorrelated baryons constrained by exact baryon number conservation. The results are applied to quantify the non-critical baseline for cumulants of net proton number fluctuations obtained in heavy-ion collisions by the STAR collaboration at different RHIC energies and by the ALICE collaboration at the LHC. Furthermore, volume fluctuations are added by a Monte Carlo procedure based on the centrality dependence of charged particle production as measured experimentally. Compared to the predictions based on the hadron resonance gas model or Skellam distribution a clear suppression of fluctuations is observed due to exact baryon-number conservation. The suppression increases with the order of the cumulant and towards lower collision energies. Predictions for net proton cumulants up to the eight order in heavy-ion collisions are given for experimentally accessible collision energies.

Supplementary document to the article "Rad6 regulates the conidiation by affecting the biotin metabolism in Beauveria bassiana"
Creators: name: Wang, Dingyi

subject: Mycology

description: Rad6 is a canonical ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme known for its role in regulating chromosome-related cellular processes in yeast and been proven in multiple functions in Beauveria bassiana, including insect-pathogenic lifestyle, UV damage repair and conidiation. However, previous studies only reported the key role of Rad6 in regulating spore production in a nutrition-rich medium, without deep mechanism analysis. In this study, we found that the disruption of Rad6 leads to a profound reduction in spore production, irrespective of whether the fungus is cultivated in nutrient-rich or nutrient-poor environments. The absence of rad6 exerts a suppressive effect on the transcription of essential genes in the central developmental pathway, namely brlA, abaA, and wetA, resulting in a direct downregulation of conidiation capacity. Additionally, mutant strains exhibit a more pronounced decline in both spore generation and hyphal development when cultured in nutrient-rich conditions. This observation correlates with the downregulation of the CDP downstream gene vosA and the upregulation of flaA in nutrition-rich cultures. Moreover, single-transcriptomics analyses indicate that irregularities in biotin metabolism, DNA repair, and tryptophan metabolism are the underlying factors contributing to the reduced spore production. Comprehensive dual transcriptomics analyses pinpoint abnormal biotin metabolism as the primary cause of spore production decline. Subsequently, we successfully restored spore production in the Rad6 mutant strain through the supplementation of biotin, further confirming the transcriptomic evidence. Altogether, our findings underscore the pivotal role of Rad6 in influencing biotin metabolism, subsequently impacting the expression of CDP genes and ultimately shaping the asexual life cycle of B. bassiana.

description: We study the Green function of the Poisson equation in two, three and four dimensions. The solution g of the equation nabla^2 g(x - x') = delta^(D)(x - x'), where x and x are D-dimensional position vectors, is customarily expanded into radial and angular coordinates. For the two-dimensional case (D=2), we find a subtle interplay of the necessarily introduced scale L with the radial component of zero magnetic quantum number. For D=3, the well-known expressions are briefly recalled; this is done in order to highlight the analogy with the four-dimensional case, where we uncover analogies of the four-dimensional spherical harmonics with the familiar three-dimensional case. Remarks on the SO(4) symmetry of the hydrogen atom complete the investigations.

description: Increased reaction times (RT) during choice-RT tasks stem from a requirement for additional processing as well as reduced motor-specific preparatory activation. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can modulate primary motor cortex excitability, increasing (anodal stimulation) or decreasing (cathodal stimulation) excitability in underlying cortical tissue. The present study investigated whether lateralized differences in choice-RT would result from the concurrent modulation of left and right motor cortices using bi-hemispheric tDCS. Participants completed a choice-RT task requiring either a left or right wrist extension. In forced-choice trials an illuminated target indicated the required response, whereas in free-choice trials participants freely selected either response upon illumination of a central fixation. Following a pre-test trial block, offline bi-hemispheric tDCS (1 mA) was applied over the left and right motor cortices for 10 minutes, which was followed by a post-tDCS block of RT trials. Twelve participants completed three experimental sessions, two with real tDCS (anode right, anode left), as well as a sham tDCS session. Post-tDCS results showed faster RTs for both right and left responses irrespective of tDCS polarity during forced-choice trials, while sham tDCS had no effect. In contrast, no stimulation-related RT or response selection differences were observed in free-choice trials. The present study shows evidence of an effector-independent speeding of response initiation in a forced-choice RT task following bi-hemispheric tDCS and yields novel information regarding the functional effect of bi-hemispheric tDCS.

description: Recently, it was suggested that the polarization dependence of light absorption to a single-walled carbon nanotube is altered by carrier doping. We specify theoretically the doping level at which the polarization anisotropy is reversed by plasmon excitation. The plasmon energy is mainly determined by the diameter of a nanotube, because pseudospin makes the energy independent of the details of the band structure. We find that the effect of doping on the Coulomb interaction appears through the screened exchange energy, which can be observed as changes in the absorption peak positions. Our results strongly suggest the possibility that oriented nanotubes function as a polarization switch.

How Much Land Does a Man Need? The Prospects of a Hegemonic War between the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America over Taiwan
Creators: name: Lee, Andy S.
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2022

description: Current cross-strait relations between the People’s Republic of China (China) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) present a worrying dynamic due to uncertainties about Taiwan’s political status. This raises the risk that China may seek to impose its reunification preferences through military force, and in so doing, trigger a hegemonic war between the ascendent China, and the current global hegemon, the United States of America (U.S.), due to Washington’s defence commitments to Taiwan. Thus, this paper explores the following research question: what are the prospects that Taiwan could be a flashpoint for a Sino-U.S. hegemonic war? This paper explores this question in three sections. Section I examines China’s, Taiwan’s, and the U.S.’ domestic and international level considerations, win-sets, and ranks their preferred decisions. It argues that the prospect of a conflict is conditional upon Taiwan’s decision. Section II uses a multinomial logistic regression to examine the Taiwanese public’s preference regarding their country’s political status, and suggests that a growing Taiwanese identity and pan-Green partisan affinity in younger generations is reducing the feasibility of the status quo and reunification win-sets. Section III assesses the prospect that a hegemonic war may occur over Taiwan, and argues that the existing framework, ceteris paribus, could culminate in the outbreak of a hegemonic war. This paper argues that new options are required in regard to Taiwan’s political status to reduce the risk of war, but that this requires China to broaden its One China principle to enable outcomes such as a commonwealth, confederation, or brotherhood framework. Furthermore, the U.S. can help defuse this situation by revising the U.S.’ defence commitments to Taiwan. Keywords: China, Taiwan, U.S., Taiwan Strait, hegemonic war

Scoping review

description: Introduction: Patients presenting with acute intracerebral hemorrhage are at a high risk of exhibiting hematoma expansion, a phenomenon that can significantly worsen long-term functioning. Numerous clinical and radiological factors are associated with expansion. In a bid to better select patients at increased risk of expanding, these factors have been collated together into clinical scores. Several clinical scores have been developed, but comparisons of diagnostic potential between these scores are limited and the frequency of use in clinical trial enrollment is unknown. Objective: To perform a scoping review of hematoma expansion scores and explore numerous factors such as methodology of development, and diagnostic capabilities. Methods and Analysis: MEDLINE, PUBMED, EMBASE, CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.org will be searched with assistance from an experienced information specialist. Eligible studies will involve adults presenting with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage who received baseline assessments, follow-up imaging, and risk stratification through a hematoma expansion score. Reviewers will independently extract data from the included studies and will collect data on patient demographics and medical history, details on score development, diagnostic capabilities, and usage proportions. Analysis of extracted data will focus on comparing the predictive capability of each score and similarities/differences in score development. The exact analysis technique will be dictated on the type of data extracted. Ethics and dissemination: Formal ethics is not required as primary data will not be collected. The findings of this study will be disseminated through conference presentations, and peer-reviewed publications.

description: We give an upper bound for the posterior probability of a measurable set A when the prior lies in a class of probability measures P. The bound is a rational function of two Choquet integrals. If P is weakly compact and is closed with respect to majorization, then the bound is sharp if and only if the upper prior probability is 2-alternating. The result is used to compute -bounds for several sets of priors used in robust Bayesian inference. The result may be regarded as a characterization of 2-alternating Choquet capacities.

description: We show that a criterion for confinement, based on the BRST invariance, holds in four dimensions, by solving a non-Abelian gauge theory with a set of exact solutions. The confinement condition we consider was obtained by Kugo and Ojima some decades ago. The current understanding of gauge theories permits us to apply the techniques straightforwardly for checking the validity of this criterion. In this way, we are able to show that the non-Abelian gauge theory is confining and that confinement is rooted in the BRST invariance and asymptotic freedom.

description: La ciencia económica se ha decantado por la intrínseca relación existente entre los procesos de bienestar social y desarrollo y la garantía jurídica de los derechos de propiedad. No obstante, aplicar esta hipótesis en contextos específicos de la ruralidad colombiana caracterizados por fenómenos complejos de colonización-expulsión, los impactos generados por el conflicto armado interno y el narcotráfico, resulta problemático. El municipio de Cumaribo (departamento de Vichada) presenta una serie de particularidades que lo convierten en un objeto de estudio interesante para abordar esta problemática. El Acuerdo Final de Paz consagró una serie de medidas para lograr el cierre y estabilización de la frontera agrícola, de manera tal que sea posible generar un equilibrio entre garantizar el acceso a la tierra y al territorio de las comunidades rurales, al mismo tiempo que se logra la conservación de los elementos de biodiversidad que ofrecen estas áreas. En esta perspectiva, el presente trabajo tendrá por objetivo analizar la relación existente entre la garantía del derecho a la propiedad de la tierra y el cierre de la frontera agrícola a partir de la implementación de la titulación de bienes baldíos en Cumaribo, departamento del Vichada, durante el periodo 2017-2021.

The municipality of Cumaribo (department of Vichada) presents a series of particularities that will help it in an interesting object of study to address this problem. The Final Peace Agreement enshrined a series of measures to achieve the closure and extension of the agricultural frontier, in such a way that it is possible to strike a balance between guaranteeing access to land and territory for rural communities, while achieves the conservation of the elements of biodiversity that these areas offer. In this perspective, the present work will aim to analyze the relationship between the guarantee of the right to land ownership and the closure of the agricultural frontier from the implementation of the titling of vacant assets in Cumaribo, department of Vichada, during the period 2017-2021.

description: The first neutron star-neutron star (NS-NS) merger was discovered on August 17, 2017 through gravitational waves (GW170817) and followed with electromagnetic observations. This merger was detected in an old elliptical galaxy with no recent star formation. We perform a suite of numerical calculations to understand the formation mechanism of this merger. We probe three leading formation mechanisms of double compact objects: classical isolated binary star evolution, dynamical evolution in globular clusters and nuclear cluster formation to test whether they are likely to produce NS-NS mergers in old host galaxies. Our simulations with optimistic assumptions show current NS-NS merger rates at the level of 10^-2 yr^-1 from binary stars, 5 x 10^-5 yr^-1 from globular clusters and 10^-5 yr^-1 from nuclear clusters for all local elliptical galaxies (within 100 Mpc^3). These models are thus in tension with the detection of GW170817 with an observed rate 1.5 yr^-1 (per 100 Mpc^3; LIGO/Virgo estimate). Our results imply that either (i) the detection of GW170817 by LIGO/Virgo at their current sensitivity in an elliptical galaxy is a statistical coincidence; or that (ii) physics in at least one of our three models is incomplete in the context of the evolution of stars that can form NS-NS mergers; or that (iii) another very efficient (unknown) formation channel with a long delay time between star formation and merger is at play.

Romans 1:26-27

description: Scholarly discussions of patristic interpretations of Romans 1:26-27 have overlooked the fact that Ambrosiaster revised his reading of the passage. In the first version of his commentary on Romans, Ambrosiaster understands verse 26 to refer to “unnatural” sexual relations between women and men, whereas in the second and third versions he understands the verse to refer to “unnatural” sexual relations between women. The paper examines the differences between the three versions, explains Ambrosiaster’s remarks, and situates his interpretation within the moral outlook and exegetical tradition of Latin Christian writers.

description: Este estudio de caso, realizado por un profesor de tiempo completo, analizó los hallazgos de las prácticas de evaluación formativa por parte de profesores de inglés en un instituto de idiomas, teniendo en cuenta los resultados de aprendizaje. El estudio fue llevado a cabo con 15 profesores experimentados en un instituto de inglés. Los instrumentos empleados para recolectar la información fueron cuestionarios, entrevista en profundidad, y artefactos de los profesores. Los hallazgos encontrados revelaron que la falta de orientación adecuada frena el proceso de implementación de evaluación formativa. Adicionalmente, se evidenció que el uso de rubricas, si se aplican debidamente, apoyan las prácticas de evaluación formativa. Estos dos hallazgos se conectan al uso mecánico que los profesores le dan a este tipo de evaluación. Además, otros hallazgos hablan de puntos de vista conflictivos que existen en las prácticas de evaluación formativa; esto significa que algunos profesores creen que este tipo de evaluación no sirve y necesita la evaluación sumativa como complemento; mientras otros profesores creen firmemente en este tipo de evaluación. Finalmente, el último hallazgo habla de los resultados poco probables que los estudiantes obtienen por medio de la evaluación formativa. Los participantes en este estudio aseguraron que, por medio de esta evaluación, los estudiantes pasan a cursos superiores sin tener el nivel de inglés necesario.
description: This qualitative case study, conducted by a full-time teacher, aimed to analyze what the teachers’ formative assessment practices in a private EFL institute revealed about English learning outcomes. The study was carried out with a group of fifteen senior English teachers at a language school. The information-gathering instruments were questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and teachers’ artifacts. Findings revealed that lack of proper orientation hinders the implementation process of formative assessment. Additionally, it was noticed that the use of rubrics, if properly applied, supports formative assessment practices. These two findings connect to the mechanical approach of teachers’ formative assessment practices. Moreover, other findings unveil conflicting views of formative assessment practices, meaning some teachers think this kind of assessment is useless and needs the aid of summative assessment, and other teachers believe in this practice inside their classrooms. Finally, the last finding connects to unreliable students’ learning outcomes because, as asserted by the participants, this kind of assessment does not reveal students’ real learning achievements, meaning students go from course to course without reaching the expected level of proficiency.

description: The quantum origin of cosmological primordial perturbations is a cornerstone framework in the interplay between gravity and quantum physics. In this paper we study the mutual information between two spatial regions in a radiation-dominated universe filled by a curvature perturbation field in a squeezed state. We find an enhancement with respect to the usual mutual information of the Minkowski vacuum due to momentum modes affected by particle production during inflation. This result supports our previous claim of the existence of long-range correlations between Primordial Black Holes (PBH) at formation during the radiation era.

The Spectral Structure of Correlator Matrices

description: In lattice QCD spectrum calculations, it is desirable to obtain multiple excited state energies in each symmetry channel. Typically, one constructs several interpolating operators for the symmetry channel of interest, forms the `correlator matrix' of all possible two-point functions, and uses the variational method to obtain as many energy levels as possible. We present a detailed look at this last step, starting from a discussion of the symmetry properties and spectral structure of the correlator matrix. We continue by motivating and describing the variational method, before discussing some conceptual and practical challenges concerning the light baryon sector. We conclude by mentioning some alternate spectrum extraction methods currently under study. Throughout, we attempt to quantify all approximations and assumptions, and we illustrate our points using a nucleon correlator matrix estimated on dynamical two-flavor lattice data.

zinc finger antiviral protein

description: Wild mammalian species, including bats, constitute the natural reservoir of Betacoronavirus (including SARS, MERS, and the deadly SARS-CoV-2). Different hosts or host tissues provide different cellular environments, especially different antiviral and RNA modification activities that can alter RNA modification signatures observed in the viral RNA genome. The zinc finger antiviral protein (ZAP) binds specifically to CpG dinucleotides and recruits other proteins to degrade a variety of viral RNA genomes. Many mammalian RNA viruses have evolved CpG deficiency. Increasing CpG dinucleotides in these low-CpG viral genomes in the presence of ZAP consistently leads to decreased viral replication and virulence. Because ZAP exhibits tissue-specific expression, viruses infecting different tissues are expected to have different CpG signatures, suggesting a means to identify viral tissue-switching events. I show that SARS-CoV-2 has the most extreme CpG deficiency in all known Betacoronavirus genomes. This suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may have evolved in a new host (or new host tissue) with high ZAP expression. A survey of CpG deficiency in viral genomes identified a virulent canine coronavirus (Alphacoronavirus) as possessing the most extreme CpG deficiency, comparable to that observed in SARS-CoV-2. This suggests that the canine tissue infected by the canine coronavirus may provide a cellular environment strongly selecting against CpG. Thus, viral surveys focused on decreasing CpG in viral RNA genomes may provide important clues about the selective environments and viral defenses in the original hosts.
