description: In this paper, we propose a novel cooperative scheme to enhance the performance of multiple-access (MA) differential-chaos-shift-keying (DCSK) systems. We provide the bit-error-rate (BER) performance and throughput analyses for the new system with a decode-and-forward (DF) protocol over Nakagami-$m$ fading channels. Our simulated results not only show that this system significantly improves the BER performance as compared to the existing DCSK non-cooperative (DCSK-NC) system and the multiple-input multiple-output DCSK (MIMO-DCSK) system, but also verify the theoretical analyses. Furthermore, we show that the throughput of this system approximately equals that of the DCSK-NC system, both of which have prominent improvements over the MIMO-DCSK system. We thus believe that the proposed system can be a good framework for chaos-modulation-based wireless communications.

description: Ratio control for two interacting processes is proposed with a PID feedforward design based on model predictive control (MPC) scheme. At each sampling instant, the MPC control action minimizes a state-dependent performance index associated with a PID-type state vector, thus yielding a PID-type control structure. Compared to the standard MPC formulations with separated single-variable control, such a control action allows one to take into account the non-uniformity of the two process outputs. After reformulating the MPC control law as a PID control law, we provide conditions for prediction horizon and weighting matrices so that the closed-loop control is asymptotically stable, and show the effectiveness of the approach with simulation and experiment results.

description: Estimating the mass of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in an active galactic nucleus (AGN) usually relies on the assumption that the broad line region (BLR) is virialized. However, this assumption seems invalid in BLR models that consists of an accretion disk and its wind. The disk is likely Keplerian and therefore virialized. However, the wind material must, beyond a certain point, be dominated by an outward force that is stronger than gravity. Here, we analyze hydrodynamic simulations of four different disk winds: an isothermal wind, a thermal wind from an X-ray heated disk, and two line-driven winds, one with and the other without X-ray heating and cooling. For each model, we check whether gravity governs the flow properties, by computing and analyzing the volume-integrated quantities that appear in the virial theorem: internal, kinetic, and gravitational energies, We find that in the first two models, the winds are non-virialized whereas the two line-driven disk winds are virialized up to a relatively large distance. The line-driven winds are virialized because they accelerate slowly so that the rotational velocity is dominant and the wind base is very dense. For the two virialized winds, the so-called projected virial factor scales with inclination angle as $1/ \sin^2{i}$. Finally, we demonstrate that an outflow from a Keplerian disk becomes unvirialized more slowly when it conserves the gas specific angular momentum -- as in the models considered here, than when it conserves the angular velocity -- as in the so-called magneto-centrifugal winds.

Chiral symmetry breaking patterns in the U_L(n)xU_R(n) meson model

Year: 2012

description: Chiral symmetry breaking patterns are investigated in the U_L(n)xU_R(n) meson model. It is shown that new classes of minima of the effective potential belonging to the center of the Lie algebra exist for arbitrary flavor number n. The true ground state of the system is searched nonperturbatively and although multiple local minima of the effective potential may exist, it is argued that in regions of the parameter space applicable for the strong interaction, strictly a U_L(n)xU_R(n)->U_V(n) spontaneous symmetry breaking is possible. The reason behind this is the existence of a discrete subset of axial symmetries, which connects various U_V(n) symmetric vacua of the theory. The results are in agreement with the Vafa-Witten theorem of QCD, illustrating that it remains valid, even without gauge fields, for an effective model of the strong interaction.

The scene I will be writing the blurb on is the scene where Rosa is speaking with her brother
about her dreams of competing in the worldwide art competition, but that she must be a U.S. citizen. This scene would be titled, “Mi Sueño Artistico”. This scene was created to give an initial twist to the plot of El Norte. The scene gives a new interpretation of the film ​El Norte. Enrique and Rosa have a different motive to leave their home, Guatemala. The motive no longer is violence, but an artistical dream. Knowlege from the class was incorporated as Rosa describes the obstacles that keep her from pursuing her artistical dream. The class and the film were able to help form the scene as we learned about other situations like Rosa’s.

description: The prophetic tradition of the Hebrew Bible maintains standard oral communication techniques when representing the words of YHWH, for example, “Thus says YHWH” or “The word of YHWH,” as the basis for the prophetic message to reach its audience. The departure from this normal communication technique is found in texts where YHWH is represented as physically manifest. The deviation from the normal prophetic medium between the divine and the intended listener to one where YHWH is depicted as manifest must carry a semantic purpose which is worthy of exploration. This project investigates the structural semiotic function of the theophany of YHWH in the prophetic book of Isaiah. Through a Structural Semiotic Exegesis of the texts, this project will seek to determine the function of the manifestation of YHWH in: Isaiah 6:1- 13; 35:1-10; 40:1-11; 60:1-22; and 66:1-24. It will also work towards a synthesis of the individual findings to determine the significance of YHWH’s theophany in the wider Isaianic tradition.

description: Molecular biology knowledge can be systematically represented in a computer-readable form as a comprehensive map of molecular interactions. There exist a number of maps of molecular interactions containing detailed description of various cell mechanisms. It is difficult to explore these large maps, to comment their content and to maintain them. Though there exist several tools addressing these problems individually, the scientific community still lacks an environment that combines these three capabilities together. NaviCell is a web-based environment for exploiting large maps of molecular interactions, created in CellDesigner, allowing their easy exploration, curation and maintenance. NaviCell combines three features: (1) efficient map browsing based on Google Maps engine; (2) semantic zooming for viewing different levels of details or of abstraction of the map and (3) integrated web-based blog for collecting the community feedback. NaviCell can be easily used by experts in the field of molecular biology for studying molecular entities of their interest in the context of signaling pathways and cross-talks between pathways within a global signaling network. NaviCell allows both exploration of detailed molecular mechanisms represented on the map and a more abstract view of the map up to a top-level modular representation. NaviCell facilitates curation, maintenance and updating the comprehensive maps of molecular interactions in an interactive fashion due to an imbedded blogging system. NaviCell provides an easy way to explore large-scale maps of molecular interactions, thanks to the Google Maps and WordPress interfaces, already familiar to many users. Semantic zooming used for navigating geographical maps is adopted for molecular maps in NaviCell, making any level of visualization meaningful to the user. In addition, NaviCell provides a framework for community-based map curation.

SiGe Raman spectra vs. local clustering/anticlustering : Percolation scheme and ab initio calculations

description: We formalize within the percolation scheme, that operates along the linear chain approximation, namely at one dimension (1D), an intrinsic ability behind Raman scattering to achieve a quantitative insight into local clustering or anticlustering in an alloy, using SiGe as a case study. For doing so, we derive general expressions of the individual fractions of the six SiGe percolation-type oscillators [1(Ge-Ge), 3(Si-Ge), 2(Si-Si)], which monitor directly the Raman intensities, via a relevant order parameter k. This is introduced by adapting to the 1D oscillators of the SiGe diamond version of the 1D percolation scheme, namely along a fully consistent 1D treatment, the approach originally used by Verleur and Barker for the three-dimensional (3D) oscillators of their 1D cluster scheme applying to zincblende alloys [H.W. Verleur and A.S. Barker, Phys. Rev. 149, 715 (1966)], a somehow problematic one in fact, due to its 3D vs. 1D ambivalence. Predictive k-dependent intensity interplays between the SiGe (50 at.%Si) Raman lines are confronted with existing experimental data and with ab initio Raman spectra obtained by using large (32 atom) disordered supercells matching the required k values, with special attention to the Si-Ge triplet and to the Si-Si doublet, respectively.

description: Explaining variability observed in the accretion flows of black hole X-ray binary systems remains challenging, especially concerning timescales less than, or comparable to, the viscous timescale but much larger than the inner orbital period despite decades of research identifying numerous relevant physical mechanisms. We take a simplified but broad approach to study several mechanisms likely relevant to patterns of variability observed in the persistently high-soft Roche-lobe overflow system LMC X-3. Based on simple estimates and upper bounds, we find that physics beyond varying disk/corona bifurcation at the disk edge, Compton-heated winds, modulation of total supply rate via irradiation of the companion, and the likely extent of the partial hydrogen ionization instability is needed to explain the degree, and especially the pattern, of variability in LMC X-3 largely due to viscous dampening. We then show how evaporation--condensation may resolve or compound the problem given the uncertainties associated with this complex mechanism and our current implementation. We briefly mention our plans to resolve the question, refine and extend our model, and alternatives we have not yet explored.

description: We study phenomenological implications of a radiative inverse seesaw dark matter model. In this model, because neutrino masses are generated at two loop level with inverse seesaw, the new physics mass scale can be as low as a few hundred GeV and the model also naturally contain dark matter candidate. The Yukawa couplings linking the SM leptons and new particles can be large. This can lead to large lepton flavor violating effects. We find that future experimental data on $μ\to e γ$ and $μ- e$ conversion can further test the model. The new charged particles can affect significantly the $h \to γγ$ branching ratio in the SM. The model is able to explain the deviation between the SM prediction and the LHC data. We also study some LHC signatures of the new particles in the model.

description: As inertial microfluidics is a proven technique for manipulating particles within microchannels, a deep understanding of hydrodynamics forces acting on particles in these systems is crucial for optimal manipulation. However, existing numerical techniques for examining particle equilibrium positions are often time-intensive and require high-memory systems, limiting accessibility due to complexity and cost. To address this issue, this study proposes a method to develop a correlation for fast estimation of particle equilibrium positions. An algorithm is devised to develop the correlation in three main steps: first, a dataset is created by conducting simulations using the finite element method, considering width, height, flow rate, particle size, and curvature radius. The computed distance between the equilibrium position of the particle and the inner channel wall serves as input for the next step where a general form of the correlation is established using Buckingham’s Π-theorem. The unknown coefficients of the correlation are calculated using 80 percent of the dataset from the first step and the least sum squares errors method. Finally, the obtained correlation is validated using the remaining data and previous experimental studies. The proposed correlation reduces the computational burden associated with predicting particle focus positions, with a 3.7 percent mean absolute error.

Young rotation-powered pulsars as ultra-luminous X-ray sources

description: The aim of the present paper is to investigate a possible contribution of the rotation-powered pulsars and pulsar wind nebulae to the population of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs). We first develop an analytical model for the evolution of the distribution function of pulsars over the spin period and find both the steady-state and the time-dependent solutions. Using the recent results on the X-ray efficiency dependence on pulsar characteristic age, we then compute the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of rotation-powered pulsars. In a general case it has a broken power-law shape with a high luminosity cutoff, which depends on the distributions of the birth spin period and the magnetic field. Using the observed XLF of sources in the nearby galaxies and the condition that the pulsar XLF does not exceed that, we find the allowed region for the parameters describing the birth period distribution. We find that the mean pulsar period should be greater than 10-40 ms. These results are consistent with the constraints obtained from the X-ray luminosity of core-collapse supernovae. We estimate that the contribution of the rotation-powered pulsars to the ULX population is at a level exceeding 3 per cent. For a wide birth period distribution, this fraction grows with luminosity and above 10E40 erg/s pulsars can dominate the ULX population.

description: Background: Segmenting the population into homogenous groups according to their healthcare needs may help to understand the population’s demand for healthcare services and thus support health systems to properly allocate healthcare resources and plan interventions. It may also help to reduce the fragmented provision of healthcare services. The aim of this study was to apply a data-driven utilisation-based cluster analysis to segment a defined population in the south of Germany. Methods: Based on claims data of one big German health insurance a two-stage clustering approach was applied to group the population into segments. A hierarchical method (Ward's linkage) was performed to determine the optimal number of clusters, followed by a k-means cluster analysis using age and healthcare utilisation data in 2019. The resulting segments were described in terms of their morbidity, costs and demographic characteristics. Results: The 126,046 patients were divided into six distinct population segments. Healthcare utilisation, morbidity and demographic characteristics differed significantly across the segments. The segment “High overall care use” comprised the smallest share of patients (2.03%) but accounted for 24.04% of total cost. The overall utilisation of services was higher than the population average. In contrast, the segment “Low overall care use” included 42.89% of the study population, accounting for 9.94% of total cost. Utilisation of services by patients in this segment was lower than population average. Conclusion: Population segmentation offers the opportunity to identify patient groups with similar healthcare utilisation patterns, patient demographics and morbidity. Thereby, healthcare services could be tailored for groups of patients with similar healthcare needs.

description: A novel regularizer of the PARAFAC decomposition factors capturing the tensor's rank is proposed in this paper, as the key enabler for completion of three-way data arrays with missing entries. Set in a Bayesian framework, the tensor completion method incorporates prior information to enhance its smoothing and prediction capabilities. This probabilistic approach can naturally accommodate general models for the data distribution, lending itself to various fitting criteria that yield optimum estimates in the maximum-a-posteriori sense. In particular, two algorithms are devised for Gaussian- and Poisson-distributed data, that minimize the rank-regularized least-squares error and Kullback-Leibler divergence, respectively. The proposed technique is able to recover the "ground-truth'' tensor rank when tested on synthetic data, and to complete brain imaging and yeast gene expression datasets with 50% and 15% of missing entries respectively, resulting in recovery errors at -10dB and -15dB.

description: Up to today, there is no effective, specific and non-invasive evaluation method to assess the endometrial receptivity. This study aimed to establish a non-invasive and effective model with the clinical indicators to evaluate endometrial receptivity. Ultrasound elastography can reflect the overall state of the endometrium. Ultrasonic elastography images from 78 hormonally prepared frozen embryo transfer (FET) patients were assessed in this study. Meanwhile, the clinical indicators reflecting endometrium in the transplantation cycle were collected. The patients were received to transfer only one high-quality blastocyst. A novel code rule that can generate a large number of 0–1 symbols was designed to collect data on different factors. At the same time, a logistic regression model of the machine learning process with an automatic combination of factors was designed for analysis. The logistic regression model was based on age, body mass index, waist-hip ratio, endometrial thickness, perfusion index (PI), resistance index (RI), elastic grade, elastic ratio cutoff value, serum estradiol level and 9 other indicators. The accuracy rate of predicting pregnancy outcome of the logistic regression model was 76.92%. Elastic ultrasound can reflect the endometrial receptivity of patients in FET cycles. We established a prediction model including ultrasound elastography and the model precisely predicted the pregnancy outcome. The predictive accuracy of endometrial receptivity by the predictive model is significantly higher than that of the single clinical indicator. The prediction model by integrating the clinical indicators to evaluate endometrial receptivity may be a non-invasive and worthwhile method for evaluating endometrial receptivity.

description: Hydrogenated graphene edges are assumed to be either armchair, zigzag or a combination of the two. We show that the zigzag is not the most stable fully hydrogenated structure along the <2-1-10> direction. Instead hydrogenated Klein and reconstructed Klein based edges are found to be energetically more favourable, with stabilities approaching that of armchair edges. These new structures "unify" graphene edge topology, the most stable flat hydrogenated graphene edges always consisting of pairwise bonded C2H4 edge groups, irrespective the edge orientation. When edge rippling is included, CH3 edge groups are most stable. These new fundamental hydrogen terminated edges have important implications for graphene edge imaging and spectroscopy, as well as mechanisms for graphene growth, nanotube cutting, and nanoribbon formation and behaviour.

description: Movie project: Las Esporas de Salvación
Scene:Un Salón de Hinton James
The opening scene of our project is an interpretation of the scene in “El Norte” where Arturo is killed by Guatemalan soldiers. We decided to make this our opening scene because this was a very powerful event which spurs the rest of the movie. Enrique was traumatized by what he saw happen to his father (in the original movie and our own), and this leads him to go search for a better life. Arturo as speaking about issues about living in Guatemala, so we adapted that to discussing problems about living on campus. We also included information from the reading “Borderlands” in their discussion. I really enjoyed this project because it allowed us to think critically on the issues plaguing Central America and how we can find common ground with the people struggling.

description: Sedative and analgesic drugs are commonly used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. Analyzing the impact of these drugs on the prognosis of cancer patients can help improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the use of propofol, benzodiazepines, and opioids on the survival of cancer patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database. A total of 2,567 cancer patients from the MIMIC-III database between 2001 and 2012 were included in this retrospective cohort study. Logistic regression analyses were utilized to assess the relationship between propofol, benzodiazepine, and opioid and survival in cancer patients. The follow-up was 1 year from the patient’s first admission to the ICU. Outcomes were ICU mortality, 28-day mortality, and 1-year mortality. Stratified analyses were based on patients’ metastatic status. The use of propofol [odds ratio (OR) = 0.66; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.53–0.80] and opioids (OR = 0.65; 95%CI, 0.54–0.79) were associated with a decreased risk of 1-year mortality. Both benzodiazepines and opioids use were related to an increased risk of ICU mortality and 28-day mortality (all P < 0.05), whereas propofol use was associated with a decreased risk of 28-day mortality (OR = 0.59; 95%CI, 0.45–0.78). Compared with the use of benzodiazepines combined with opioids, patients who used propofol and opioids were related to a decreased risk of 1-year mortality (OR = 0.74; 95%CI, 0.55–0.98). Similar results were found in patients with metastasis and metastasis-free. Cancer patients who used propofol may experience a lower risk of mortality than benzodiazepine use.

description: Using recent values of the QCD (non-) perturbative parameters given in Table 1, we reconsider the extraction of f_B and the on-shell mass M_b from HQET Laplace spectral sum rules known to N2LO PT series and including dimension 7 condensates in the OPE. We especially study the convergence of the PT series, the effects on "different spectral sum rules data" of the continuum threshold and subtraction point varied in a larger range than in the existing literature and include in the error an estimate of the N3LO PT series based on a geometric growth of the PT series. We obtain the Renormalization Group Invariant (RGI) universal coupling : \hat f_B^\infty=0.416(60) GeV^{3/2} in the static limit M_b \to \infty and the physical decay constant including 1/M_b corrections: f_B^{hqet}=199(29) MeV. Using the ratio of sum rules, we obtain, to order α_s^2, the running mass m_b(m_b)=4213(59) MeV. The previous results are in good agreement with the ones from QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR) in full QCD to the same order from the same channel [1]: f_B^{qcd}=206(7) MeV and m_b(m_b)^{qcd}=4236(69) MeV.

description: Gradual verification, which supports explicitly partial specifications and verifies them with a combination of static and dynamic checks, makes verification more incremental and provides earlier feedback to developers. While an abstract, weakest precondition-based approach to gradual verification was previously proven sound, the approach did not provide sufficient guidance for implementation and optimization of the required run-time checks. More recently, gradual verification was implemented using symbolic execution techniques, but the soundness of the approach (as with related static checkers based on implicit dynamic frames) was an open question. This paper puts practical gradual verification on a sound footing with a formalization of symbolic execution, optimized run-time check generation, and run time execution. We prove our approach is sound; our proof also covers a core subset of the Viper tool, for which we are aware of no previous soundness result. Our formalization enabled us to find a soundness bug in an implemented gradual verification tool and describe the fix necessary to make it sound.

description: Diazotrophic microorganisms are free-living groups of organisms that can convert atmospheric nitrogen (N) into bioavailable nitrogen for plants, which increases crop development and production. The purpose of the current study was to ascertain how diazotrophic plant growth promoting (PGP) Pseudomonas strains (P. koreensis CY4 and P. entomophila CN11) enhanced nitrogen fixation, defense activity, and PGP attributes of sugarcane varieties; GT11 and G×B9. A 15N isotope-dilution study was conducted to confirm the sugarcane strains’ capacity to fix nitrogen, and the results indicated that between 21 to 35% of plant, nitrogen is fixed biologically by selected rhizobacteria. In comparison to the control, after 30, 60, and 90 days, both CY4 and CN11 strains significantly increased defense-related enzymes (catalase, peroxidase, phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, superoxide dismutase, glucanase, and chitinase) and phytohormones (abscisic acid, ABA, cytokinin, etc.) in GT11 and GXB. Additionally, the expression of SuCHI, SuGLU, SuCAT, SuSOD, and SuPAL genes was found to be elevated in Pseudomonas strains inoculated plants using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Both bacterial strains increased all physiological parameters and chlorophyll content in sugarcane plants more than their control. The effects of P. koreensis CY4 and P. entomophila CN11 strains on sugarcane growth promotion and nitrogen fixation under greenhouse conditions are described here for the first time systematically. The results of confirmation studies demonstrated that P. koreensis CY4 and P. entomophila are PGP bacterial strains with the potential to be employed as a biofertilizer for sugarcane growth, nitrogen nutrient absorption, and reduced application of chemical nitrogenous fertilizers in agricultural fields.
Feedback regulated star formation: II. dual constraints on the SFE and the age spread of stars in massive clusters

description: We show that the termination of the star formation process by winds from massive stars in protocluster forming clumps imposes dual constraints on the star formation efficiencies (SFEs) and stellar age spreads ($Δτ_{*}$) in stellar clusters. We have considered two main classes of clump models. One class of models in one in which the core formation efficiency (CFE) per unit time and as a consequence the star formation rate (SFR) is constant in time and another class of models in which the CFE per unit time, and as a consequence the SFR, increases with time. Models with an increasing mode of star formation yield shorter age spreads (a few 0.1 Myrs) and typically higher SFEs than models in which star formation is uniform in time. We find that the former models reproduce remarkably well the SFE$-Δτ_{*}$ values of starburst clusters such as NGC 3603 YC and Westerlund 1, while the latter describe better the star formation process in lower density environments such as in the Orion Nebula Cluster. We also show that the SFE and $Δτ_{*}$ of massive clusters are expected to be higher in low metallicity environments. This could be tested with future large extragalactic surveys of stellar clusters. We advocate that placing a stellar cluster on the SFE-$Δτ_{*}$ diagram is a powerful method to distinguish between different stellar clusters formation scenarios such as between generic gravitational instability of a gas cloud/clump or as the result of cloud-cloud collisions. It is also a very useful tool for testing star formation theories and numerical models versus the observations.
