description: NASA's Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) has been proposed with the aim to capture a small asteroid a few meters in size and redirect it into an orbit around the Moon. There it can be investigated at leisure by astronauts aboard an Orion or other spacecraft. The target for the mission has not yet been selected, and there are very few potential targets currently known. Though sufficiently small near-Earth asteroids (NEAs) are thought to be numerous, they are also difficult to detect and characterize with current observational facilities. Here we collect the most up-to-date information on the smallest known near-Earth asteroids to outline the properties of these small NEAs as currently understood, in order to examine what the eventual ARM target might be like. Observational biases certainly mean that our sample is not an ideal representation of the true population of small NEAs. However our sample is representative of the eventual target list for the ARM mission, which will be compiled under very similar observational constraints unless dramatic changes are made to the way near-Earth asteroids are searched for and studied. We find that the typical rotation period is 40 minutes. The mean and median axis ratios were 1.43 and 1.29. Rotation rates much faster than the spin barrier are seen, reaching below 30 seconds, and implying that most of these bodies are monoliths. Non-principal axis rotation is uncommon. Axial ratios often reach values as high as two, though no undisputed results reach above three. We find little correlation of axis ratio with size. The most common spectral type in the sample of small NEAs is S-type (> 90%), with only a handful of C and X types known.

description: Given a pair of number fields with isomorphic rings of adeles, we construct bijections between objects associated to the pair. For instance we construct an isomorphism of Brauer groups that commutes with restriction. We additionally construct bijections between central simple algebras, maximal orders, various Galois cohomology sets, and commensurability classes of arithmetic lattices in simple, inner algebraic groups. We show that under certain conditions, lattices corresponding to one another under our bijections have the same covolume and pro-congruence completion. We also make effective a finiteness result of Prasad and Rapinchuk.

Anomaly detection (Computer security)

description: Sensor measurements of distribution system are uncertain due to sensor malfunctions, communication failure and cyber attacks. This thesis aims to perform anomaly detection on measurements utilizing data-driven approaches. The measurements considered are individual smart meter real power measurements and network-wide primary voltage magnitudes. Anomaly detection in individual smart meter measurements using gaussian probabilistic thresholds is explored. It flags non-anomalous data as verified by the comparison of smart meter real power and individual appliance consumption. To perform a real-time comparison for detection, Non-Intrusive Load Monitoring (NILM) is needed, which is difficult due to the associated consumer privacy issues. Alternatively, forecasting can be used for anomaly detection. So, single layer neural network models such as Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) with different features are tried. Even in training data, a poor performance is seen in these models, due to the smart meter profile variability. Hence, aggregated smart meter forecasting using neural networks can be used to detect anomaly in such aggregated measurements with a reasonable accuracy. Network-wide primary voltage measurements are correlated for a phase of feeder for different buses at a given time-step; this is extensively validated empirically. To leverage this, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the dimensionality of this input data. Further, residual and subspace based methods are explored for network-level anomaly detection and identification. The results for the residual approach on missing and bad data cases are detailed for IEEE 13 bus and IEEE 8500 node test feeders. It is validated through simulations that residual-based approach on subspace projection matrix for the measurement data successfully performs anomaly detection and identification for primary network voltage measurements for the selected test cases. Further research is needed to validate the applicability and accuracy of the proposed framework during changes in the system operating conditions (topology changes, capacitor bank switching, etc.), and on real-world measurements form sensors deployed in the field.

Еще в молодости он мечтал о медицине, но революция 1917 г., а потом Гражданская война изменили его планы: он вступил в ряды Красной армии и стал строить карьеру военного. Однако тяжелое ранение сделало его инвалидом, негодным к дальнейшей службе. Тогда он вернулся к прежней мечте: стал дипломированным врачом, избрав своей специализацией физиологию высшей нервной деятельности. Знания ученого-теоретика и опыт врача Долин использовал во время Великой Отечественной войны. Он провел в Ленинграде всю блокаду: работал в госпиталях, лечил бойцов и мирных жителей, не оставляя научную работу.

description: New data force us to raise previous estimates of oceanic denitrification. Our revised estimate of ~ 450 Tg N yr -1 (Tg = 10 12 g) produces an oceanic fixed N budget with a large deficit (~ 200 Tg N yr -1 ) that can be explained only by positing an ocean that has deviated far from a steady-state, the need for a major upwards revision of fixed N inputs, particularly nitrogen fixation, or both. Oceanic denitrification can be significantly altered by small re-distributions of carbon and dissolved oxygen. Since fixed N is a limiting nutrient, uncompensated changes in denitrification affect the ocean´s ability to sequester atmospheric CO 2 via the "biological pump". We have also had to modify our concepts of the oceanic N 2 O regime to take better account of the extremely high N 2 O saturations that can arise in productive, low oxygen waters. Recent results from the western Indian Shelf during a period when hypoxic, suboxic and anoxic waters were present produced a maximum surface N 2 O saturation of > 8000%, a likely consequence of "stop and go" denitrification. The sensitivity of N 2 O production and consumption to small changes in the oceanic dissolved oxygen distribution and to the "spin-up" phase of denitrification suggests that the oceanic source term for N 2 O could change rapidly.

description: There is growing experimental interest in coupling cavity photons to the cyclotron resonance excitations of electron liquids in high-mobility semiconductor quantum wells or graphene sheets. These media offer unique platforms to carry out fundamental studies of exciton-polariton condensation and cavity quantum electrodynamics in a regime in which electron-electron interactions are expected to play a pivotal role. Focusing on graphene, we present a theoretical study of the impact of electron-electron interactions on a quantum Hall polariton fluid, that is a fluid of magneto-excitons resonantly coupled to cavity photons. We show that electron-electron interactions are responsible for an instability of graphene integer quantum Hall polariton fluids towards a modulated phase. We demonstrate that this phase can be detected by measuring the collective excitation spectra, which soften at a characteristic wave vector of the order of the inverse magnetic length.

description: We obtain relaxation times for field theories with Lifshitz scaling and with holographic duals Einstein-Maxwell-Dilaton gravity theories. This is done by computing quasinormal modes of a bulk scalar field in the presence of Lifshitz black branes. We determine the relation between relaxation time and dynamical exponent z, for various values of boundary dimension d and operator scaling dimension. It is found that for d>z+1, at zero momenta, the modes are non-overdamped, whereas for d<=z+1 the system is always overdamped. For d=z+1 and zero momenta, we present analytical results.

Exhumation of basement-cored uplifts: Example of the Kyrgyz Range quantified with apatite fission track thermochronology

description: 1] The Kyrgyz Range, the northernmost portion of the Kyrgyzstan Tien Shan, displays topographic evidence for lateral propagation of surface uplift and exhumation. The highest, most deeply dissected segment lies in the center of the range. To the east, topography and relief decrease, and preserved remnants of a Cretaceous regional erosion surface imply minimal amounts of bedrock exhumation. The timing of exhumation of range segments defines the lateral propagation rate of the range-bounding reverse fault and quantifies the time and erosion depth needed to transform a mountain range from a juvenile to a mature morphology. New multicompositional apatite fission track (AFT) data from three transects from the eastern Kyrgyz Range, combined with published AFT data, demonstrate that the range has propagated over 110 km eastward over the last $7–11 Myr. On the basis of the thermal and topographic evolutionary history, we present a model for a time-varying exhumation rate driven by rock uplift and changes in erodability and the timescale of geomorphic adjustment to surface uplift. Easily eroded, Cenozoic sedimentary rocks overlying resistant basement control early, rapid exhumation and exhibit slow surface uplift rates. As increasing amounts of resistant basement are exposed, exhumation rates decrease while surface uplift rates are sustained or increase, thereby growing topography. As the range becomes high enough to cause ice accumulation and to develop steep river valleys, fluvial and glacial erosion becomes more powerful, and exhumation rates once again increase. Independently determined range-normal shortening rates also varied over time, suggesting a feedback between erosional efficiency and shortening rate. Citation: Sobel, E. R., M. Oskin, D.

description: The present study adopts a prototype approach (Russell & Fehr, 1994; Shaver et al., 1987) to investigate the differences between justified and unjustified anger in terms of established dimensions relevant to moral, emotional, and relational experiences. Following a prototype approach, participants first write about their experience of justified or unjustified anger. Next, they are instructed to complete a series of questionnaires designed to evaluate various theoretically relevant aspects of the anger event they had described. The overarching goal of this study is to provide a multi-dimensional comparison of justified and unjustified anger. These dimensions fall under four broad categories. Informed by the literature, a series of research questions and hypotheses have been developed will be examined (as described in the preregistration document) to provide a more granular understanding of each of these two anger variants.

description: Entanglement-assisted classical communication and transmission of a quantum system are the two quantum resources for information processing. Many information tasks can be performed using either quantum resource. However, this equivalence is not always present since entanglement assisted classical communication is known to sometimes be the better performing resource. Here, we show not only the opposite phenomenon; that there exists tasks for which transmission of a quantum system is a more powerful resource than entanglement assisted classical communication, but also that such phenomena can have a surprisingly strong dependence on the dimension of Hilbert space. We introduce a family of communication complexity problems parametrized by dimension of Hilbert space and study the performance of each quantum resource. We find that for low dimensions, the two resources perform equally well, whereas for dimension seven and above, the equivalence is suddenly broken and transmission of a quantum system becomes more powerful than entanglement assisted classical communication. Moreover, we find that transmission of a quantum system may even outperform classical communication assisted by the stronger-than-quantum correlations obtained from the principle of Macroscopic Locality.

description: Fractional (Lévy-type) operators are known to be spatially nonlocal. This becomes an issue if confronted with a priori imposed exterior Dirichlet boundary data. We address spectral properties of the prototype example of the Cauchy operator $(-Δ)^{1/2}$ in the interval $D=(-1,1) \subset R$, with a focus on functional shapes of lowest eigenfunctions and their fall-off at the boundaries of $D$. New high accuracy formulas are deduced for approximate eigenfunctions. We analyze how their shape reproduction fidelity is correlated with the evaluation finesse of the corresponding eigenvalues.

Actin-membrane interaction in fibroblasts: what proteins are involved in this association?
Creators: name: Burridge, Keith
name: Meangeat, Paul
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1984

description: In this review we discuss some of the proteins for which a role in linking actin to the fibroblast plasma membrane has been suggested. We focus on the family of proteins related to erythrocyte spectrin, proteins that have generally been viewed as having an organization and a function in actin-membrane attachment similar to those of erythrocyte spectrin. Experiments in which we precipitated the nonerythrocyte spectrin within living fibroblasts have led us to question this supposed similarity of organization and function of the nonerythrocyte and erythrocyte spectrins. Intracellular precipitation of fibroblast spectrin does not affect the integrity of the major actin-containing structures, the stress fiber microfilament bundles. Unexpectedly, however, we found that the precipitation of spectrin results in a condensation and altered distribution of the vimentin class of intermediate filaments in most cells examined. Although fibroblast spectrin may have a role in the attachment of some of the cortical, submembranous actin, it is surprising how little the intracellular immunoprecipitation of the spectrin affects the cells. Several proteins have been found concentrated at the ends of stress fibers, where the actin filaments terminate at focal contacts. Two of these proteins, alpha-actinin and fimbrin, have properties that suggest that they are not involved in the attachment of the ends of the bundles to the membrane but are more probably involved in the organization and cross-linking of the filaments within the bundles. On the other hand, vinculin and talin are two proteins that interact with each other and may form part of a chain of attachments between the ends of the microfilament bundles and the focal contact membrane. Their role in this attachment, however, has not been established and further work is needed to examine their interaction with actin and to identify any other components with which they may interact, particularly in the plasma membrane.

description: This paper presents a family of new methods for locating/fitting hyperplanes with respect to a given set of points. We introduce a general framework for a family of aggregation criteria of different distance-based errors. The most popular methods found in the specialized literature can be cast within this family as particular choices of the errors and the aggregation criteria. Mathematical programming formulations for these methods are stated and some interesting cases are analyzed. It is also proposed a new goodness of fitting index which extends the classical coefficient of determination. A series of illustrative examples and extensive computational experiments implemented in R are provided to show the performances of some of the proposed methods.

description: Nuclear spins in the solid state environment of diamond are highly coherent, but difficult to rapidly control due to the small nuclear gyromagnetic ratio. Here we demonstrate a more than 50-fold enhancement of the effective nuclear gyromagnetic ratio by coupling the nuclear spin to an electronic spin of a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond. The enhancement allows for faster nuclear spin rotations and is in good agreement with second-order perturbation theory. The method may be applied to other systems with similar electron-nuclear spin interactions, such as phosphorous donors in silicon, opening up the possibility of fast and direct nuclear spin control in coupled spin systems.

Effective log-free zero density estimates for automorphic $L$-functions and the Sato-Tate conjecture

description: Let $K/\mathbb{Q}$ be a number field. Let $π$ and $π^\prime$ be cuspidal automorphic representations of $\mathrm{GL}_d(\mathbb{A}_K)$ and $\mathrm{GL}_{d^\prime}(\mathbb{A}_K)$, and suppose that either both $d$ and $d'$ are at most 2 or at least one of $π$ and $π^\prime$ is self-dual. When $d=d^\prime=2$, we prove an unconditional and effective log-free zero density estimate for the Rankin-Selberg $L$-function $L(s,π\otimesπ^\prime,K)$. For other choices of $d$ and $d^\prime$, we obtain similar results assuming that either $π$ or $π^\prime$ satisfies the generalized Ramanujan conjecture. With these density estimates, we make effective the Hoheisel phenomenon of Moreno regarding primes in short intervals and extend it to the context of the Sato-Tate conjecture; additionally, we bound the least prime in the Sato-Tate conjecture in analogy with Linnik's theorem on the least prime in an arithmetic progression. When $K=\mathbb{Q}$, we also prove an effective log-free density estimate for $L(s,π\otimesπ^\prime,\mathbb{Q})$ averaged over twists by Dirichlet characters. With this second density estimate, we prove an averaged form of the prime number theorem in short intervals for $L(s,π\otimes\tildeπ,\mathbb{Q})$ when $π$ is a cuspidal automorphic representation of $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{Q}})$.
Genomic insights into the population history and biological adaptation of Southwestern Chinese Hmong-Mien people

description: Hmong-Mien-speaking (HM) populations, widely distributed in South China, North of Thailand, Laos and Vietnam, have experienced different settlement environments, dietary habits and pathogen exposure. However, their specific biological adaptation remained largely uncharacterized, which is important in the population evolutionary genetics and Trans-Omics for regional Precision Medicine. Besides, the origin and genetic diversity of HM people and their phylogenetic relationship with surrounding modern and ancient populations are also unknown. Here, we reported genome-wide SNPs in 52 representative Miao people and combined them with 144 HM people from 13 geographically representative populations to characterize the full genetic admixture and adaptive landscape of HM speakers. We found that obvious genetic substructures existed in geographically different HM populations, one localized in the HM clines and others possessed affinity with Han Chinese. We also identified one new ancestral lineage specifically existed in HM people, which spatially distributed from Sichuan and Guizhou in the North to Thailand in the South. The sharing patterns of the newly-identified homogeneous ancestry component combined the estimated admixture times via the decay of Linkage Disequilibrium and haplotype sharing in GLOBETROTTER suggested that the modern HM-speaking populations originated from Southwest China and migrated southward in the historic period, which is consistent with the reconstructed phenomena of linguistic and archeological documents. Additionally, we identified specific adaptive signatures associated with several important human nervous system biological functions. Our pilot work emphasized the importance of anthropologically-informed sampling and deeply genetic structure reconstruction via whole-genome sequencing in the next step in the deep Chinese population genomic diversity project (CPGDP), especially in the regions with rich ethnolinguistic diversity.

description: Dynamic hydrogels have recently demonstrated utility as versatile biomaterials. Characterized by the spontaneous rearrangement of crosslinks at ambient conditions, dynamic hydrogels more closely mimic the native extracellular matrix better than their static hydrogel counterparts, and the wide parameter space allows for a high degree of control for drug release applications. Despite the promising applicability that these hydrogels demonstrate, the structure-property relationships that govern the effects of the hydrogel composition on the mechanics remain poorly understood. An ideal system for investigating both the relationship of crosslinking on hydrogel mechanics in addition to biomaterial applications are hydrogels crosslinked through reversible covalent crosslinks. A number of reversible covalent bonds have well defined mechanisms that allow for facile determination of their rate constants via kinetic model fitting. Oscillatory rheometry also provides a robust mechanical method to characterize both the overall stiffness and dynamics of the dynamic hydrogels. In order to investigate the structure-property relationships in reversible covalently crosslinked hydrogels, this work first incorporated a reversible thia-conjugate addition reaction into a hydrogel. Previous small molecule research established this reaction as a reversible covalent reaction under standard biological conditions, and the first part of this project functionalized macromers and analyzed how chemical changes to the functional groups influenced the kinetics and mechanics of the resulting hydrogel. The accepted mechanism of this reaction reveals a deprotonation step in the forward and reverse direction which lead to the second area of research, wherein pH values from 3 to 7 were used to alter the kinetics and mechanics of a reversible thia-conjugate addition crosslinked hydrogels. Additionally, a gastrointestinal molecular release study was performed to demonstrate the drug delivery applications of this hydrogel. Finally, the temperature dependence of the crosslinking reaction was analyzed, and reaction parameters were determined from the mechanical analysis. In summary, three stimuli; chemistry, pH, and temperature, were used to investigate the structure-property relationships in reversible thia-conjugate addition crosslinked hydrogels with additional focus placed on the biomaterial applications of these materials.
