description: We study the internal dynamics of Ramond-Ramond solitons excited far from the BPS limit by leading Regge trajectory open strings. The simplest world volume process for such strings is splitting into two smaller pieces, and we calculate the corresponding decay rates. Compared to the conventional open superstring, the splitting of states polarized parallel to the brane is suppressed by powers of logarithms of the energy. The rate for states polarized transverse to the brane {\em decreases} with increasing energy. We also calculate the static force between a D-brane excited by a massive open string and an unexcited D-brane parallel to it. The result shows that transversely polarized massive open strings endow D-branes with a size of order the string scale.

description: We present the multiwavelength photometry of two Frontier Fields massive galaxy clusters MACS-J0717 and MACS-J1149 and their parallel fields, ranging from HST to ground based K and Spitzer IRAC bands, and the public release of photometric redshifts and rest frame properties of galaxies found in cluster and parallel pointings. This work was done within ASTRODEEP project and aims to provide a reference for future investigations of the extragalactic populations. To fully exploit the depth of the images and detect faint sources we used an accurate procedure which carefully removes the foreground light of bright cluster sources and the intra-cluster light thus enabling detection and measurement of accurate fluxes in crowded cluster regions. This same procedure has been successfully used to derive the photometric catalogue of MACS-J0416 and Abell-2744. The obtained multi-band photometry was used to derive photometric redshifts, magnification and physical properties of sources. In line with the first two FF catalogues released by ASTRODEEP, the photometric redshifts reach $\sim$4$\%$ accuracy. Moreover we extend the presently available samples to galaxies intrinsically as faint as H160$\sim$32-34 mag thanks the magnification factors induced to strong gravitational lensing. Our analysis allows us to probe galaxy masses larger then 10$^{7}$ M$\odot$ and/or SFR=0.1-1M$\odot$/yr out to redshift z$>6$.

Monitoring and evaluation strategy

description: This deliverable aims at presenting the gEnesys’ project monitoring and evaluation strategy (M&E), namely to lay out the principles upon which the assessment of the project’s activities, outcomes and outputs are based and the actions and instruments through which this assessment is performed. The evaluation is forward-looking, formative and intended to improve the project’s activities as they unfold (thus, it is process-oriented). It is also aimed at making the consortium and the project more responsive to internal and external demands. By doing so, the M&E team will detect and solve possible bottlenecks and challenges before they can negatively affect the project’s results.

description: Recursion relations for orthogonal polynominals, arising in the study of the one-matrix model of two-dimensional gravity, are shown to be equvalent to the equations of the Toda-chain hierarchy supplemented by additional Virasoro constraints. This is the case without the double scaling limit. A discrete time variable to the matrix model is introduced. The discrete time dependent partition functions are given by $τ$ functions which satisfy the discrete Toda molecule equation. Further the relations between the matrix model and the discrete time Toda theory are discussed.

Seismic Performance Assessment of Reinforced Concrete Skewed Bridges Retrofitted with Buckling Restrained Braces
Creators: name: Wang, Yuandong
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Civil engineering
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: This research investigates the feasibility of using buckling restrained brace (BRB) as a retrofit strategy to improve the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) skewed bridges. The evaluated base case system is a Californian three-span RC bridge with a length of 127.5 m (425 ft.). Initially, different BRBs were implemented in a straight bridge to assess the performance of the retrofitted bridge, and to optimize the BRB configuration. The ASCE 41 methodology was used to scale sets of far-field and near-field ground motions (GMs) to the maximum considered earthquake level. Because of the nonorthogonality of the skewed bridges' major axes, the major and minor GM principal directions were first obtained and then rotated to 11 incidence angles. Nonlinear time history analyses were performed with these different seismic input directions for the original and retrofitted bridges with different skew angles. The maximum seismic responses can be predicted by orienting first one of the principal GM directions to the longitudinal bridge axis, and then rotating the principal directions 90 degrees. It was observed that BRB retrofitting in the column bents mitigates the influence of GM incidence angle. Numerical simulations were performed on the bridges using distributed plasticity models with the hysteretic models that account for strength and stiffness deterioration. Nonlinear incremental dynamic analyses (IDAs) predicted the skewed bridge behavior before and after BRB retrofit until the global collapse limit state. These simulations indicate that BRB components can improve the seismic performance of bridges by decreasing the drift at the bents, and by reducing the steel and concrete strains of the RC columns. Moreover, BRB attracts more shear forces at the bents, reducing the seismic demands at the abutments. Although BRB components greatly improve the bridge's seismic performance, they have negligible effects on the ultimate collapse capacity of the bridges after BRB failure. Nevertheless, the probability of failure is reduced by using BRBs because of the improved performance at low and moderate seismic levels. Analytical methods to predict the additional seismic effects due to skew bridge configuration, as well as the influence of GMs incidence angle, are also proposed in this study.

Lens covariance effects on likelihood analyses of CMB power spectra

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Non-Gaussian correlations induced in CMB power spectra by gravitational lensing must be included in likelihood analyses for future CMB experiments. We present a simple but accurate likelihood model which includes these correlations and use it for Markov Chain Monte Carlo parameter estimation from simulated lensed CMB maps in the context of $Λ$CDM and extensions which include the sum of neutrino masses or the dark energy equation of state $w$. If lensing-induced covariance is not taken into account for a CMB-S4 type experiment, the errors for one combination of parameters in each case would be underestimated by more then a factor of two and lower limits on $w$ could be misestimated substantially. The frequency of falsely ruling out the true model or finding tension with other data sets would also substantially increase. Our analysis also enables a separation of lens and unlensed information from CMB power spectra, which provides for consistency tests of the model and, if combined with other such measurements, a nearly lens-sample-variance free test for systematics and new physics in the unlensed spectrum. This parameterization also leads to a simple effective likelihood that can be used to assist model building in case consistency tests of $Λ$CDM fail.

Significantly Improving Lossy Compression for Scientific Data Sets Based on Multidimensional Prediction and Error-Controlled Quantization

description: Today's HPC applications are producing extremely large amounts of data, such that data storage and analysis are becoming more challenging for scientific research. In this work, we design a new error-controlled lossy compression algorithm for large-scale scientific data. Our key contribution is significantly improving the prediction hitting rate (or prediction accuracy) for each data point based on its nearby data values along multiple dimensions. We derive a series of multilayer prediction formulas and their unified formula in the context of data compression. One serious challenge is that the data prediction has to be performed based on the preceding decompressed values during the compression in order to guarantee the error bounds, which may degrade the prediction accuracy in turn. We explore the best layer for the prediction by considering the impact of compression errors on the prediction accuracy. Moreover, we propose an adaptive error-controlled quantization encoder, which can further improve the prediction hitting rate considerably. The data size can be reduced significantly after performing the variable-length encoding because of the uneven distribution produced by our quantization encoder. We evaluate the new compressor on production scientific data sets and compare it with many other state-of-the-art compressors: GZIP, FPZIP, ZFP, SZ-1.1, and ISABELA. Experiments show that our compressor is the best in class, especially with regard to compression factors (or bit-rates) and compression errors (including RMSE, NRMSE, and PSNR). Our solution is better than the second-best solution by more than a 2x increase in the compression factor and 3.8x reduction in the normalized root mean squared error on average, with reasonable error bounds and user-desired bit-rates.

description: We study a class of eight-supercharge little string theories (LSTs) on the world-volume of $N$ M5-branes with transverse space $\mathbb{S}^{1}\times (\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_M)$. These M-brane configurations compactified on a circle are dual to $M$ D5-branes intersecting $N$ NS5-branes on $\mathbb{T}^2\times \mathbb{R}^{7,1}$ as well as to F-theory compactified on a toric Calabi-Yau threefold $X_{N,M}$. We argue that the Kähler cone of $X_{N,M}$ admits three regions associated with weakly coupled quiver gauge theories of gauge groups $[U(N)]^M, [U(M)]^N$ and $[U(\frac{NM}{k})]^k$ where $k=\mbox{gcd}(N,M)$. These provide low-energy descriptions of different LSTs. The duality between the first two gauge theories is well known and is a consequence of the S-duality between D5- and NS5-branes or the T-duality of the LSTs. The triality involving the third gauge theory is new and we demonstrate it using several examples. We also discuss implications of this triality for the W-algebras associated with the Alday-Gaiotto-Tachikawa dual theories.

description: Differential privacy has emerged as a promising probabilistic formulation of privacy, generating intense interest within academia and industry. We present a push-button, automated technique for verifying $\varepsilon$-differential privacy of sophisticated randomized algorithms. We make several conceptual, algorithmic, and practical contributions: (i) Inspired by the recent advances on approximate couplings and randomness alignment, we present a new proof technique called coupling strategies, which casts differential privacy proofs as a winning strategy in a game where we have finite privacy resources to expend. (ii) To discover a winning strategy, we present a constraint-based formulation of the problem as a set of Horn modulo couplings (HMC) constraints, a novel combination of first-order Horn clauses and probabilistic constraints. (iii) We present a technique for solving HMC constraints by transforming probabilistic constraints into logical constraints with uninterpreted functions. (iv) Finally, we implement our technique in the FairSquare verifier and provide the first automated privacy proofs for a number of challenging algorithms from the differential privacy literature, including Report Noisy Max, the Exponential Mechanism, and the Sparse Vector Mechanism.

description: We discuss the fine structure and spin dynamics of spin-3/2 centers associated with silicon vacancies in silicon carbide. The centers have optically addressable spin states which makes them highly promising for quantum technologies. The fine structure of the spin centers turns out to be highly sensitive to mechanical pressure, external magnetic and electric fields, temperature variation, etc., which can be utilized for efficient room-temperature sensing, particularly by purely optical means or through the optically detected magnetic resonance. We discuss the experimental achievements in magnetometry and thermometry based on the spin state mixing at level anticrossings in an external magnetic field and the underlying microscopic mechanisms. We also discuss spin fluctuations in an ensemble of vacancies caused by interaction with environment.

description: Energy-time entangled photons are critical in many quantum optical phenomena and have emerged as important elements in quantum information protocols. Entanglement in this degree of freedom often manifests itself on ultrafast timescales making it very difficult to detect, whether one employs direct or interferometric techniques, as photon-counting detectors have insufficient time resolution. Here, we implement ultrafast photon counters based on nonlinear interactions and strong femtosecond laser pulses to probe energy-time entanglement in this important regime. Using this technique and single-photon spectrometers, we characterize all the spectral and temporal correlations of two entangled photons with femtosecond resolution. This enables the witnessing of energy-time entanglement using uncertainty relations and the direct observation of nonlocal dispersion cancellation on ultrafast timescales. These techniques are essential to understand and control the energy-time degree of freedom of light for ultrafast quantum optics.

description: In the left-right symmetric model based on $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry, there appear heavy neutral scalar particles mediating quark flavor changing neutral currents (FCNCs) at tree level. We consider a situation where such FCNCs give the only sign of the left-right model while $W_R$ gauge boson is decoupled, and name it "semi-aligned two Higgs doublet model" because the model resembles a two Higgs doublet model with mildly-aligned Yukawa couplings to quarks. We predict a correlation among processes induced by quark FCNCs in the model, and argue that future precise calculation of meson-antimeson mixings and CP violation therein may hint at the semi-aligned two Higgs doublet model and the left-right model behind it.

description: We present microlensing planet OGLE-2017-BLG-0173Lb, with planet-host mass ratio either $q\simeq 2.5\times 10^{-5}$ or $q\simeq 6.5\times 10^{-5}$, the lowest or among the lowest ever detected. The planetary perturbation is strongly detected, $Δχ^2\sim 10,000$, because it arises from a bright (therefore, large) source passing over and enveloping the planetary caustic: a so-called "Hollywood" event. The factor $\sim 2.5$ offset in $q$ arises because of a previously unrecognized discrete degeneracy between Hollywood events in which the caustic is fully enveloped and those in which only one flank is enveloped, which we dub "Cannae" and "von Schlieffen", respectively. This degeneracy is "accidental" in that it arises from gaps in the data. Nevertheless, the fact that it appears in a $Δχ^2=10,000$ planetary anomaly is striking. We present a simple formalism to estimate the sensitivity of other Hollywood events to planets and show that they can lead to detections close to, but perhaps not quite reaching, the Earth/Sun mass ratio of $3\times 10^{-6}$. This formalism also enables an analytic understanding of the factor $\sim 2.5$ offset in $q$ between the Cannae and von Schlieffen solutions. The Bayesian estimates for the host-mass, system distance, and planet-host projected separation are $M=0.39^{+0.40}_{-0.24}\,M_\odot$, $D_L=4.8^{+1.5}_{-1.8}\,\kpc$, and $a_\perp=3.8\pm 1.6\,\au$. The two estimates of the planet mass are $m_p=3.3^{+3.8}_{-2.1}\,M_\oplus$ and $m_p=8^{+11}_{-6}\,M_\oplus$. The measured lens-source relative proper motion $μ=6\,\masyr$ will permit imaging of the lens in about 15 years or at first light on adaptive-optics imagers on next-generation telescopes. These will allow to measure the host mass but probably cannot resolve the planet-host mass-ratio degeneracy.

description: The purpose of this Letter is to present a computation of the interaction energy of gauged O(3) Chern-Simons vortices which are infinitely separated. The results will show the behaviour of the interaction energy as a function of the constant coupling the potential, which measures the relative strength of the matter self-coupling and the electromagnetic coupling. We find that vortices attract each other for $λ> 1 $ and repel when $λ< 1 $. When $λ=1 $ there is a topological lower bound on the energy. It is possible to saturate the bound if the fields satisfy a set of first order partial differential equations.

Stimuli-Responsive Polymers and Their Applications in Gene Delivery
Creators: name: Hwang, Hee Sook
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Polymeric gene delivery is introducing specific genes to enhance or silence gene expression using synthesized polymers which have low immunogenicity and good biocompatibility. This dissertations specifically focused on the synthesis and characterization of stimuli-responsive polymers for gene delivery. The polymers are designed to respond to specific biological stimuli such as redox potential and pH changes. In the first stimuli-responsive polymer, a reducible poly(L-lysine) (RPLL) was constructed and mediated gene delivery. Polyplex, polymer/gene complex, biocompatibility can be improved by using amino acids as nontoxic building blocks.To synthesize an amino-acid-based reducible polymer, a decapeptide composed of lysine and cysteine (Cys-Lys8-Cys) has been selected due to primary amines and sulfhydryl functional groups, respectively. A reducible polymer introduced with disulfide bonds enables control of the rate of biodegradation and decomplexation of polyplex which will impact plasmid DNA (pDNA) release. In the second stimuli-responsive polymer, a pH-dependent polymeric-mediated gene delivery was conducted via PLL grafted with either mono-L-histidine (PLL-g-mHis) or poly(L-histidine) (PLL-g-PHis). The pH-sensitive ionizable groups in histidine were used as an endosomolytic agent to construct a pH-sensitive polymeric gene carrier. Two types of histidine grafted PLL, PLL-g-mHis and PLL-g-PHis, were synthesized with the same number of imidazole groups to compare the effective arrangement of histidine in terms of iv endosomolytic activity and transfection efficiency. A wide range of observations have been made to conclude that a stimuli-sensitive property in polymer imparts a rapid response to specific stimulus compared to a nonsensitive polymer and the improved gene transfer activityshows much promise for gene delivery. Since gene carriers have been applied in cancer gene therapy to safely and efficiently deliver a therapeutic gene into the target site, these stimuli-sensitive polymers will bring efficient translation levels of the therapeutic protein to treat cancer. Therefore, it is essential to further investigate the gene expression in vivo applications in an engaging and accessible way.

Strategies Towards the Mitigation of Shunting in Implanted Neural Arrays to Improve Device Stability for Chronic Applications

description: By enabling neuroprosthetic technologies, neural microelectrodes can greatly improve diagnostic and treatment options for millions of individuals living with limb loss, paralysis, and sensory and autonomic neural disorders. However, clinical use of these devices is restricted by the limited functional lifetimes of implanted electrodes, which are commonly less than a few years. One cause is the evolution of damage to dielectric encapsulation that insulates microelectrodes from the physiological environment. Fluid penetration and exposure to an aggressive immunological response over time may weaken encapsulating films and cause electrical shunting. This reduces electrode impedance, diverts electrical signal away from target tissue, and causes multi-channel crosstalk. To date, no neural microelectrode encapsulating material or design approach has reliably resolved this issue. We employ the parylene C-encapsulated Utah Electrode Array (UEA), a silicon-micromachined neural interface FDA-cleared for human use, to execute three aims that address this challenge through investigations of new materials, electrode designs, and testing methods. We first evaluate a novel bilayer encapsulating film comprised of atomic layer deposited Al2O3 and parylene C, testing this film using UEAs and devices with UEA-relevant topography. Contrasting with previous work employing simplified planar structures, the incorporation of neural electrode features on test structures revealed failure modes pointing to the dissolution of Al2O3 over time. Our results emphasize the need for dielectric coatings resistant to water degradation as well as test methods that take electrode features into account. In our second aim, we show through finite element modeling and aggressive in vitro testing that use of degenerately doped silicon as a conductive neural electrode material can mitigate the consequences of encapsulation damage, owing to the high electrochemical impedance of silicon. Our final aim compares oxidative in vitro aging to long-term in vivo material damages and finds clear evidence that such in vitro testbeds may help predict certain in vivo damage modes. By pairing this testing with absorption and emission spectroscopic characterization modalities, we identify contributors to material damage and future design solutions. Our results will inform future material and testing choices, to improve the resilience of neural electrode dielectric encapsulation and enhance the longevity of neuroprostheses.

description: Methamphetamine (METH) causes partial dopamine (DA) loss in the caudate/putamen and has long-term detrimental effects on cognitive function. We have previously shown that the positive correlation between expression of the immediate-early gene Arc in dorsomedial (DM) striatum and learning on a motor response reversal task is lost in rats with METH-induced striatal DA loss, despite normal behavioral performance. This discrepancy suggests that METH-pretreated rats no longer use DM striatum in this task. When function of or Arc expression in DM striatum of saline (SAL)-pretreated rats is disrupted, reversal learning and retention of learning, respectively, are impaired. However, METH-pretreated rats are unaffected by either treatment, suggesting that METH-pretreated rats no longer use DM striatum to perform this task. In situ hybridization histochemical staining for Arc mRNA expression in various brain regions of rats revealed a correlation between Arc and response reversal learning in nucleus accumbens (NAc) shell of METH-pretreated rats that did not exist in SAL-pretreated rats. When Arc was knocked down in the NAc shell, memory consolidation on the reversal task in METH-pretreated rats was impaired, whereas it was unaffected in SAL-pretreated rats, suggesting that METH-pretreated rats are relying on the NAc shell instead of DM striatum to consolidate reversal memories. Since the above evidence strongly suggests that METH-induced damage to the striatum forces rats to rely on a different brain region to complete this reversal task, we attempted to restore striatal function in METH-pretreated rats by manipulating extracellular DA levels. METH-pretreated rats are selectively deficient in phasic DA signaling, which generates transient DA changes in response to rewards and their cues. We stimulated the brains of METH- and SAL-pretreated rats in a phasic-like manner and found that the reduced striatal preprotachykinin gene expression in METH-pretreated rats was restored to control levels. Furthermore, we found that L-DOPA, the biochemical precursor to DA, restored phasic DA signals in METH-pretreated rats back to the baseline levels in SAL-pretreated rats. These results suggest that METH-induced neurotoxicity results in altered circuitry used in the brain during a reversal learning task, but that restoration of phasic DA signaling may be able to rescue striatal function.
Using geometric algebra to represent curvature in shell theory with applications to Starling resistors

description: We present a novel application of rotors in geometric algebra to represent the change of curvature tensor, that is used in shell theory as part of the constitutive law. We introduce a new decomposition of the change of curvature tensor, which has explicit terms for changes of curvature due to initial curvature combined with strain, and changes in rotation over the surface. We use this decomposition to perform a scaling analysis of the relative importance of bending and stretching in flexible tubes undergoing self excited oscillations. These oscillations have relevance to the lung, in which it is believed that they are responsible for wheezing. The new analysis is necessitated by the fact that the working fluid is air, compared to water in most previous work. We use stereographic imaging to empirically measure the relative importance of bending and stretching energy in observed self excited oscillations. This enables us to validate our scaling analysis. We show that bending energy is dominated by stretching energy, and the scaling analysis makes clear that this will remain true for tubes in the airways of the lung.

description: Quantum information offers the promise of being able to perform certain communication and computation tasks that cannot be done with conventional information technology (IT). Optical Quantum Information Processing (QIP) holds particular appeal, since it offers the prospect of communicating and computing with the same type of qubit. Linear optical techniques have been shown to be scalable, but the corresponding quantum computing circuits need many auxiliary resources. Here we present an alternative approach to optical QIP, based on the use of weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities and homodyne measurements. We show how this approach provides the fundamental building blocks for highly efficient non-absorbing single photon number resolving detectors, two qubit parity detectors, Bell state measurements and finally near deterministic control-not (CNOT) gates. These are essential QIP devices

Bubble propagation in Hele-Shaw channels with centred constrictions

description: We study the propagation of finite bubbles in a Hele-Shaw channel, where a centred occlusion (termed a rail) is introduced to provide a small axially-uniform depth constriction. For bubbles wide enough to span the channel, the system's behaviour is similar to that of semi-infinite fingers and a symmetric static solution is stable. Here, we focus on smaller bubbles, in which case the symmetric static solution is unstable and the static bubble is displaced towards one of the deeper regions of the channel on either side of the rail. Using a combination of experiments and numerical simulations of a depth-averaged model, we show that a bubble propagating axially due to a small imposed flow rate can be stabilised in a steady symmetric mode centred on the rail through a subtle interaction between stabilising viscous forces and destabilising surface tension forces. However, for sufficiently large capillary numbers Ca, the ratio of viscous to surface tension forces, viscous forces in turn become destabilising thus returning the bubble to an off-centred propagation regime. With decreasing bubble size, the range of Ca for which steady centred propagation is stable decreases, and eventually vanishes through the coalescence of two supercritical pitchfork bifurcations. The depth-averaged model is found to accurately predict all the steady modes of propagation observed experimentally, and provides a comprehensive picture of the underlying steady bifurcation structure. However, for sufficiently large imposed flow rates, we find that initially centred bubbles do not converge onto a steady mode of propagation. Instead they transiently explore weakly unstable steady modes, an evolution which results in their break-up and eventual settling into a steady propagating state of changed topology.

Tentative Identification of Interstellar Dust in the Nose of the Heliosphere

description: Observations of the weak polarization of light from nearby stars, reported by Tinbergen (1982), are consistent with polarization by small, radius <0.14 microm, interstellar dust grains entrained in the magnetic wall of the heliosphere. The direction of maximum polarization is offset by ~35 deg from the heliosphere nose, and extends to low ecliptic latitudes. An offset is found between the direction of the best aligned dust grains, and the upwind direction of the undeflected large interstellar grains seen by Ulysses and Galileo. In the aligned-grain region, the strength of polarization anti-correlates with ecliptic latitude, indicating that the magnetic wall is predominantly at negative ecliptic latitudes, which is consistent with predictions of Linde (1998). These data are consistent with an interstellar magnetic field tilt of 60 deg with respect to the ecliptic plane, and parallel to the galactic plane. Interstellar dust grains captured in the heliosheath may also introduce a weak, but important, large scale contaminant for the cosmic microwave background signal with a symmetry consistent with the relative tilts of \Bis and the ecliptic.

description: This article is the result of theoretical reflections and empirical research and investigates the dynamics between two factors that are currently considered inductors of entrepreneurial activity: necessity and opportunity, on the other. Its theoretical basis stems from the literature available on entrepreneurial motivations. Its empirical evidence derives from a qualitative field survey carried out with two successful entrepreneurs who rose from lower socio-economic backgrounds and who live in the County of Belo Horizonte. The results obtained suggest that: i.) the original inductor factor seems to neither impose limitations nor condition the performance of either the individuals involved or their ventures; ii.) as time goes by, there is juxtaposition and complementarity between both motivations. This article contributes towards a better understanding of certain entrepreneurship dimensions, while also demonstrating the usefulness of a methodology that has been little explored to investigate the phenomenon that was analyzed.

description: Several physics aspects of the Seiberg-Witten solution of N=2 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with SU(2) gauge group, supplemented with a small mass term for the "matter" fields which leads to an $N=1$ theory with confinement, are discussed. The light spectrum of the theory is understood on the basis of current algebra relations, and CP invariance of the massless and massive theories is studied. We find that in the massive (confining) theory the low energy physics has an exact CP symmetry, while in a generic vacuum in the massless theory CP invarince is spontaneously broken.

description: Report on the incorporation of a gender dimension into the 400 Energy-SHIFTs research priority questions through application of the Gender Innovation Approach (GIA). The aim was to demonstrate how implementing gender sensitive research may help achieve gender equality and justice in the context of energy transitions. The results show that the GIA was applicable to some 69% of all questions, with application being illustrated by published research in 38% of them. Gender remains to be mainstreamed into research on energy and energy transitions, but mainstreaming is imperative if research is to help advance gender equality in energy transitions.

description: Network intrusion detection systems are an active area of research to identify threats that face computer networks. Network packets comprise of high dimensions which require huge effort to be examined effectively. As these dimensions contain some irrelevant features, they cause a high False Alarm Rate (FAR). In this paper, we propose a hybrid method as a feature selection, based on the central points of attribute values and an Association Rule Mining algorithm to decrease the FAR. This algorithm is designed to be implemented in a short processing time, due to its dependency on the central points of feature values with partitioning data records into equal parts. This algorithm is applied on the UNSW-NB15 and the NSLKDD data sets to adopt the highest ranked features. Some existing techniques are used to measure the accuracy and FAR. The experimental results show the proposed model is able to improve the accuracy and decrease the FAR. Furthermore, its processing time is extremely short.
