description: Microscopic nuclear theory is based on the tenet that atomic nuclei can be accurately described as collections of point-like nucleons interacting via two- and many-body forces obeying nonrelativistic quantum mechanics -- and the concept of the ab initio approach is to calculate nuclei accordingly. The forces are fixed in free-space scattering and must be accurate. We will critically review the history of this approach from the early beginnings until today. An analysis of current ab initio calculations reveals that some mistakes of history are being repeated today. The ultimate goal of nuclear theory are high-precision ab initio calculations which, as it turns out, may be possible only at the fifths order of the chiral expansion. Thus, for its fulfillment, nuclear theory is still facing an enormous task.

description: Results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) represent a potential resource for etiological and treatment research. GWAS of obesity-related phenotypes have been especially successful. To translate this success into a research tool, we developed and tested a “genetic risk score” (GRS) that summarizes an individual’s genetic predisposition to obesity.

description: Locally triangular graphs are known to be halved graphs of bipartite rectagraphs, which are connected triangle-free graphs in which every $2$-arc lies in a unique quadrangle. A graph $Γ$ is locally rank 3 if there exists $G\leq \mathrm{Aut}(Γ)$ such that for each vertex $u$, the permutation group induced by the vertex stabiliser $G_u$ on the neighbourhood $Γ(u)$ is transitive of rank 3. One natural place to seek locally rank 3 graphs is among the locally triangular graphs, where every induced neighbourhood graph is isomorphic to a triangular graph $T_n$. This is because the graph $T_n$, which has vertex set the $2$-subsets of $\{1,\ldots,n\}$ and edge set the pairs of $2$-subsets intersecting at one point, admits a rank 3 group of automorphisms. In this paper, we classify the locally $4$-homogeneous rectagraphs under some additional structural assumptions. We then use this result to classify the connected locally triangular graphs that are also locally rank 3.

Looking you in the mouth: abnormal gaze in autism resulting from impaired top-down modulation of visual attention

description: People with autism are impaired in their social behavior, including their eye contact with others, but the processes that underlie this impairment remain elusive. We combined high-resolution eye tracking with computational modeling in a group of 10 high-functioning individuals with autism to address this issue. The group fixated the location of the mouth in facial expressions more than did matched controls, even when the mouth was not shown, even in faces that were inverted and most noticeably at latencies of 200–400 ms. Comparisons with a computational model of visual saliency argue that the abnormal bias for fixating the mouth in autism is not driven by an exaggerated sensitivity to the bottom-up saliency of the features, but rather by an abnormal top-down strategy for allocating visual attention.
Happy and fearful emotion in cues and targets modulate event-related potential indices of gaze-directed attentional orienting

description: The goal of the present study was to characterize the effects of valence in facial cues and object targets on event-related potential (ERPs) indices of gaze-directed orienting. Participants were shown faces at fixation that concurrently displayed dynamic gaze shifts and expression changes from neutral to fearful or happy emotions. Emotionally-salient target objects subsequently appeared in the periphery and were spatially congruent or incongruent with the gaze direction. ERPs were time-locked to target presentation. Three sequential ERP components were modulated by happy emotion, indicating a progression from an expression effect to a gaze-by-expression interaction to a target emotion effect. These effects included larger P1 amplitude over contralateral occipital sites for targets following happy faces, larger centrally distributed N1 amplitude for targets following happy faces with leftward gaze, and faster P3 latency for positive targets. In addition, parietally distributed P3 amplitude was reduced for validly cued targets following fearful expressions. Results are consistent with accounts of attentional broadening and motivational approach by happy emotion, and facilitation of spatially directed attention in the presence of fearful cues. The findings have implications for understanding how socioemotional signals in faces interact with each other and with emotional features of objects in the environment to alter attentional processes.

GRB 221009A with an unconventional precursor: a typical two-stage collapsar scenario?

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: As the brightest Gamma-Ray burst (GRB) ever detected, GRB 221009A may offer a chance that reveals some interesting features which are hidden in those bursts that are not so bright. There seems a very weak emission with a flux of $10^{-8}\sim10^{-7}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ between the first pulse ($T_0\sim T_0+50$~s, $T_0$ is the trigger time) and the main burst (appears from $T_0+180$ s). Thus the gap time between them is not really quiescent, and the first pulse could be taken as an unconventional precursor, which may provide a peculiar case study for the GRB-precursor phenomena. A two-stage collapsar scenario is proposed as the most likely origin for this burst. In this model, the jet for the precursor is produced during the initial core-collapse phase, and should be weak enough not to disrupt the star when it breaks out of the envelope, so that the fallback accretion process and the forming of the disk could continue. We present an approach in which the duration and flux both provide constraints on the luminosity ($L_{\rm j}$) and the Lorentz factor at the breakout time ($Γ_{\rm b}$) of this weak jet. The estimated $L_{\rm j}\lesssim 10^{49}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and $Γ_{\rm b}$ has an order of ten, which are well consistent with the theoretical prediction. Besides, the weak emission in the gap time could be interpreted as a MHD outflow due to a magnetically driven wind during the period from the proto-neutron star phase to forming the accretion disk in this scenario.

description: Though the functional neural correlates of impaired cognitive control and social dysfunction in autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have been delineated, brain regions implicated in poor cognitive control of social information is a novel area of autism research. We recently reported in a non-clinical sample that detection of ‘social oddball’ targets activated a portion of the dorsal anterior cingulate gyrus and the supracalcarine cortex (Dichter, Felder, Bodfish, Sikich, and Belger, 2009). In the present investigation, we report functional magnetic resonance imaging results from individuals with ASD who completed the same social oddball task. Between-group comparisons revealed generally greater activation in the ASD group to both social and non-social targets. When responses to social and non-social targets were contrasted, the ASD group showed relatively greater activation in the right and middle inferior frontal gyri and a region in dorsomedial prefrontal cortex that abuts the dorsal anterior cingulate (Brodmann's Area 32). Further, dorsal anterior cingulate activation to social targets predicted the severity of social impairments in a subset of the ASD sample. These data suggest that the dorsal anterior cingulate mediates social target detection in neurotypical individuals and is implicated in deficits of cognitive control of social information in ASD.

-	de réexaminer le découpage des masses d’eau littorales pour la DCE à La Réunion,
-	de parachever la définition de l’ensemble des suivis des réseaux du contrôle de surveillance de la DCE à La Réunion, ce qui comprend l’identification et la bancarisation des données déjà acquises localement, et utiles à la DCE (et notamment des données acquises en zones coralliennes aujourd’hui stockées dans le logiciel CoReMo3), la définition (ou l’adaptation) d’indicateurs pertinents, le positionnement des points de suivi au sein des masses d’eau, et la fixation des fréquences de suivi,

description: We conduct a detailed case-study of the interstellar shell near the high-mass X-ray binary, Cygnus X-1. We present new WIYN optical spectroscopic and Chandra X-ray observations of this region, which we compare with detailed MAPPINGS III shock models, to investigate the outflow powering the shell. Our analysis places improved, physically motivated constraints on the nature of the shockwave and the interstellar medium (ISM) it is plowing through. We find that the shock is traveling at less than a few hundred km/s through a low-density ISM (< 5 cm^-3). We calculate a robust, 3 sigma upper limit to the total, time-averaged power needed to drive the shockwave and inflate the bubble, < 2 x 10^38 erg/s. We then review possible origins of the shockwave. We find that a supernova origin to the shockwave is unlikely and that the black hole jet and/or O-star wind can both be central drivers of the shockwave. We conclude that the source of the Cygnus X-1 shockwave is far from solved.

- et, en cas de manques trop importants dans les connaissances actuelles pour atteindre les objectifs listés ci-dessus, de définir les études à mener en 2011 afin de parachever la définition des réseaux et indicateurs pour la DCE.
Une organisation par Groupes de Travail thématiques (GT) a été mise en place, chaque groupe étant constitué des spécialistes et experts régionaux du domaine, ainsi que des référents et experts DCE nationaux.
Le présent rapport présente les résultats des investigations menées le long de la pente externe du récif réunionnais, ainsi que l’état d’avancement des réflexions et propositions des quatre groupes de Travail à la date du 30 octobre 2010.
Les indicateurs et réseaux de suivi sont en phase finale de définition dans les domaines de l’hydrologie, de la chimie marine et du benthos de substrat meuble. Des études complémentaires sont encore indispensables dans le domaine du substrat dur ; elles seront menées en 2011 de façon à ce que les 4 réseaux de suivi soient parfaitement définis fin 2011, et mis en œuvre dès 2012.

description: Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and irritability commonly co-occur, and follow similar developmental trajectories from childhood to adolescence. Understanding of the developmental relationship between these co-occurrences is limited. This study provides a longitudinal assessment of how ADHD diagnostic status and symptom patterns predict change in irritability. Methods: A community sample of 337 participants (45.2% ADHD), recruited for the Childhood Attention Project, completed the Affective Reactivity Index (ARI) to measure irritability at baseline (mean age 10.5 years) and follow-up after 18-months. Latent change score models were used to assess how (a) baseline ADHD vs. control group status, (b) baseline symptom domain (inattention, hyperactivity–impulsivity) and (c) longitudinal change in ADHD symptom severity predicted change in irritability. Results: Irritability was significantly higher among the ADHD group than controls; however, change in irritability over time did not differ between groups. When assessed across the entire cohort, change in irritability was predicted by higher symptom count in the hyperactive–impulsive domain, but not the inattentive domain. Greater declines in ADHD symptoms over time significantly predicted greater declines in irritability. Baseline ADHD symptom severity was found to significantly predict change in irritability; however, baseline irritability did not significantly predict change in ADHD symptoms. Conclusions: ADHD symptoms—particularly hyperactive–impulsive symptoms—predict the degree and trajectory of irritability during childhood and adolescence, even when symptoms are below diagnostic thresholds. The use of longitudinal, dimensional and symptom domain-specific measures provides additional insight into this relationship.
An assist for cognitive diagnostics in soccer (Part II): Development and validation of a task to measure working memory in a soccer-specific setting

description: Cognitive diagnostics is of increasing interest to researchers and practitioners in the context of talent identification and performance enhancement in professional soccer. Research addressing the relevance of cognitive skills for sports performance has been based on the cognitive component approach (i.e., general cognitive processes) and the expert performance approach (i.e., sport-specific cognitive processes). Following the aim to combine the strengths of both approaches, we have previously developed and validated tasks to measure inhibition and cognitive flexibility in a soccer-specific setting, including a soccer-specific motor response. In line with the broad consistency on three core executive functions, this further development of diagnosing executive functions is to be completed with a task for the assessment of working memory. For this purpose, 60 amateur players with a soccer experience of at least one competitive season (Mage = 25.95, SDage = 4.59) first conducted a computer-based version of the n-back (3-back) task followed by a 3-back task that required a soccer-specific motor response (i.e., pass) performed in a soccer-specific setting (i.e., SoccerBot100). Results show good reliability for both tasks. With regard to convergent validity, significant correlations between the computerized and soccer-specific task could be determined in target trials for response time (r = 0.446) and accuracy (r = 0.401). Thus, the soccer-specific n-back task can be considered a potentially valid instrument for assessing working memory and potentially allows soccer clubs to diagnose the three core executive functions in a consistent soccer-specific setting.

We focus our discussion on the sample with $x$=0.19 viz. at the optimal substitution level, where bulk superconductivity ($T_{\text{SC}}=28$ K) sets in above static europium order ($T^{\text{Eu}}=20$K) but well below the onset of the iron antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition ($\sim$100 K). We find enhanced spin dynamics in the Fe sublattice closely above $T_{\text{SC}}$ and propose that these are related to enhanced Eu fluctuations due to the evident coupling of both sublattices observed in our experiments.

description: The neural correlates of cognitive control and social processing functions, as well as the characteristic patterns of anomalous brain activation patterns in psychiatric conditions associated with impairment in these functions, have been well characterized. However, these domains have primarily been examined in isolation. The present study used event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging to map brain areas recruited during a target-detection task designed to evaluate responses to both non-social (i.e. shape) and social (i.e. face) target stimuli. Both shape and face targets activated a similar brain network, including the postcentral gyrus, the anterior and posterior cingulate gyri and the right midfrontal gyrus, whereas face targets additionally activated the thalamus, fusiform and temporooccipital cortex, lingual gyrus and paracingulate gyrus. Comparison of activations to social and non-social target events revealed that a small portion of the dorsal anterior cingulate gyrus (Brodmann's area 32) and the supracalcarine cortex were preferentially activated to face targets. These findings indicate that non-social and social stimuli embedded within a cognitive control task activate overlapping and distinct brain regions. Clinical cognitive neuroscience research of disorders characterized by cognitive dysfunction and impaired social processing would benefit from the use of tasks that evaluate the combined effects of deficits in these two domains.

description: In two-party quantum communication complexity, Alice and Bob receive some classical inputs and wish to compute some function that depends on both these inputs, while minimizing the communication. This model has found numerous applications in many areas of computer science. One question that has received a lot of attention recently is whether it is possible to perform such protocols in a private way. We show that defining privacy for quantum protocols is not so straightforward and it depends on whether we assume that the registers where Alice and Bob receive their classical inputs are in fact classical registers (and hence unentangled with the rest of the protocol) or quantum registers (and hence can be entangled with the rest of the protocol or the environment). We provide new quantum protocols for the Inner Product function and for Private Information Retrieval, and show that the privacy assuming classical input registers can be exponentially smaller than the privacy assuming quantum input registers. We also argue that the right notion of privacy of a communication protocol is the one assuming classical input registers, since otherwise the players can deviate considerably from the protocol.

description: The application of mortar methods in the framework of isogeometric analysis is investigated theoretically as well as numerically. For the Lagrange multiplier two choices of uniformly stable spaces are presented, both of them are spline spaces but of a different degree. In one case, we consider an equal order pairing for which a cross point modification based on a local degree reduction is required. In the other case, the degree of the dual space is reduced by two compared to the primal. This pairing is proven to be inf-sup stable without any necessary cross point modification. Several numerical examples confirm the theoretical results and illustrate additional aspects. Keywords: isogeometric analysis, mortar methods, inf-sup stability, cross point modification.

From the result, it was revealed that the downstream oil deregulation policy has a significant impact on petroleum products availability in Nigeria and the downstream oil deregulation policy has a significant impact on the removal of petroleum products subsidies in Nigeria. The study recommended that the government and independent marketers should make petroleum products available through efficient liberalization of the downstream sector, remove subsidies, build additional refining firms or maintain the available companies as well as regulate the prices of petroleum products in the country; the Nigerian government should put in place mechanisms to monitor the utilization of subsidy programmes to enhance the scrutinization of expenditure by citizens. Furthermore, the removal of subsidies should be preceded by the efficient functioning of the power sector, thereby reducing the burden on the citizens. Besides, the activities of independent marketers should be adequately regulated and monitored to efface some dishonest elements in the sector. In addition, the government should use the Petroleum Product Regulatory Agency to fix the prices of petroleum products in the country. Any defaulters who extort the system through rent-seeking behaviour should be tenaciously penalized, among others.

description: Meta, formerly the Facebook Company, faces immense pressure from users, governments and civil society to act transparently and with accountability. Responding to such calls, in 2018, it announced plans to create an independent oversight body to review content decisions. Such a forum is now in place in the form of the Oversight Board. To Meta’s credit, the speed at which the Oversight Board has been established is remarkable. Within two years, a global consultation process was completed with input obtained from users as well as experts, the regulatory infrastructure for the Oversight Board built, its members selected, and the first decisions of the Board already rendered in January 2021. No expense has been spared. Facebook has created a trust worth 130 million US dollars to fund the Oversight Board. With its institutional structure in place, and plenty of resources to tap into, the Oversight Board could have a real impact on how some transnational disputes are resolved. Thus, the Oversight Board may very well be setting the direction for how tech companies in particular, and multinational corporations in general, go about providing grievance mechanisms to individuals who their actions adversely impact. Through a study of the Oversight Board, this paper considers whether we are witnessing the birth of a special type of ‘transnational hybrid adjudication’. The paper first clarifies what is meant by the phrase ‘transnational hybrid adjudication’. And then using the example of the Oversight Board, it considers whether the Oversight Board can properly be characterised as a transnational adjudicative body that joins the myriad of other international dispute resolution mechanisms that exist today. Giving an affirmative answer to that question, the paper finally discusses whether the Oversight Board is a new type of adjudicative mechanism that could have a systemic impact on international law, or an experiment with limited relevance.

description: Social interaction deficits and restricted repetitive behaviors and interests that characterize autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) may both reflect aberrant functioning of brain reward circuits. However, no neuroimaging study to date has investigated the integrity of reward circuits using an incentive delay paradigm in individuals with ASDs. In the present study, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging to assess blood-oxygen level-dependent activation during reward anticipation and outcomes in 15 participants with an ASD and 16 matched control participants. Brain activation was assessed during anticipation of and in response to monetary incentives and object image incentives previously shown to be visually salient for individuals with ASDs (e.g. trains, electronics). Participants with ASDs showed decreased nucleus accumbens activation during monetary anticipation and outcomes, but not during object anticipation or outcomes. Group × reward-type-interaction tests revealed robust interaction effects in bilateral nucleus accumbens during reward anticipation and in ventromedial prefrontal cortex during reward outcomes, indicating differential responses contingent on reward type in these regions. Results suggest that ASDs are characterized by reward-circuitry hypoactivation in response to monetary incentives but not in response to autism-relevant object images. The clinical implications of the double dissociation of reward type and temporal phase in reward circuitry function in ASD are discussed.

description: Monte Carlo simulations are a powerful tool for elucidating the properties of complex systems across many disciplines. Not requiring any a priori knowledge, they are particularly well suited for exploring new phenomena. However, when applied to fermionic quantum systems, quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) algorithms suffer from the so-called "negative sign problem", which causes the computational effort to grow exponentially with problem size. Here we demonstrate that the fermion sign problem originates in topological properties of the configurations. In particular, we show that in the widely used auxiliary field approaches the negative sign of a configuration is a geometric phase that is the imaginary time counterpart of the Aharonov-Anandan phase, and reduces to a Berry phase in the adiabatic limit. This provides an intriguing connection between QMC simulations and classification of topological states. Our results shed clarify the controversially debated origin of the sign problem in fermionic lattice models.

description: In this talk, recent measurements of charmonium decays of BESIII are presented. Using 448 million $ψ(3686)$ events collected with the BESIII detector, the branching fractions of the decays $χ_{cJ} \to ϕϕ(J=0,1,2)$ have been measured most precisely, and the polarization parameters of $χ_{cJ} \to ϕϕ$ have been determined for the first time via a helicity amplitude analysis. Using the same data sample as in the previous study, first evidence of $η_c(2S) \to π^+ π^- η$ has been found in the decay sequence $ψ(3686) \to γη_c(2S)(\to π^+ π^- η)$. The product of the branching fractions of $ψ(3686) \to γη_c(2S)$ and $η_c(2S) \to π^+ π^- η$ is reported as well as the individual branching fraction of $η_c(2S) \to π^+ π^- η$. The process $e^+ e^- \to ηJ/ψ$ at a center-of-mass energy $3.773~{\rm GeV}$ is observed for the first time. Its Born cross-section is measured, and the branching fraction of $ψ(3770) \to ηJ/ψ$ is determined by a combined fit with the cross sections at other energy points, after considering the interference effect for the first time. Utilizing 2708 million $ψ(3686)$ events collected by the BESIII detector, the decays $χ_{cJ} \to Ω^- \barΩ^+(J=0,1,2)$ have been observed for the first time with high significance via the radiative decays of $ψ(3686) \to γχ_{cJ}$. The relevant branching fractions have been provided.

description: Using the attractor mechanism for extremal solutions in ${\cal N}=2$ gauged supergravity, we construct a $c$-function that interpolates between the central charges of theories at ultraviolet and infrared conformal fixed points corresponding to anti-de Sitter geometries. The $c$-function we obtain is couched purely in terms of bulk quantities and connects two different dimensional CFTs at the stable conformal fixed points under the RG flow.

description: Motivated by the recent discovery of superconductivity in the kagome $A$V$_3$Sb$_5$ ($A$: K, Rb, Cs) metals, we perform a theoretical study of the symmetry-allowed superconducting orders on the two-dimensional kagome lattice with focus on their response to disorder. We uncover a qualitative difference between the robustness of intraband spin-singlet (even-parity) and spin-triplet (odd-parity) unconventional superconductivity to atomic-scale nonmagnetic disorder. Due to the particular sublattice character of the electronic states on the kagome lattice, disorder in spin-singlet superconducting phases is only weakly pair-breaking despite the fact that the gap structure features sign changes. By contrast, spin-triplet condensates remain fragile to disorder on the kagome lattice. We demonstrate these effects in terms of the absence of impurity bound states and an associated weak disorder-induced $T_c$-suppression for spin-singlet order. We also discuss the consequences for quasi-particle interference and their inherent tendency for momentum-space anisotropy due to sublattice effects on the kagome lattice. For unconventional kagome superconductors, our results imply that any allowed spin-singlet order, including for example $d+id$-wave superconductivity, exhibits a disorder-response qualitatively similar to standard conventional $s$-wave superconductors.

On the threefold minimal model program in positive and mixed characteristic
Creators: name: Stigant, Liam
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: This dissertation explores the Minimal Model Program (MMP) in positive and mixed characteristic in dimension three with a particular focus on outputs of the program. In purely positive characteristic we combine the program with a detailed study of conic bundles to prove a birational boundedness result. We show that given a suitable set of log Calabi-Yau varieties, we can construct a bounded family containing bres birational to any member of the chosen set. For threefolds over a base of dimension at least one, we resolve the Abundance Conjecture for klt pairs in joint work with F. Bernasconi and I. Brivio. Showing in particular that every klt minimal model in mixed characteristic admits an Iitaka Fibration. This is then applied to prove an Invariance of Plurigenera result for suitable families of surfaces. Finally we consider outstanding questions around Mori brations in mixed characteristic. We show that every klt threefold MMP terminates and that any two Mori bre space outputs of an MMP from the same starting pair are connected by a series of Sarkisov links. As part of this we prove a mixed characteristic Finiteness of Minimal Models result. While the proof is focused in dimension three, the arguments work in any generality given that the requisite MMP results are known.
