description: Gravitational waves (GWs) from merging binary black holes (BHs) enable unprecedented tests of gravitational theories beyond Einstein's General Relativity (GR) in highly nonlinear, dynamical regimes. Such GW measurements require an accurate description of GW signatures that may arise in alternative gravitational models. In this work, we focus on a class of higher-curvature extensions of GR, the scalar-Gauss-Bonnet theories, where BHs can develop scalar hair. In an inspiraling binary system, this leads to scalar-induced tidal effects in the dynamics and radiation. We calculate the dominant adiabatic dipolar tidal effects via an approximation scheme based on expansions in post-Newtonian, higher-curvature, and tidal corrections. The tidal effects depend on a characteristic scalar Love number, which we compute using BH perturbation theory, and have the same scaling with GW frequency as the higher-curvature corrections. We perform case studies to characterize the net size and parameter dependencies of these effects, showing that at low frequencies, tidal effects dominate over the higher-curvature contributions for small couplings within current bounds, regardless of the total BH mass, while at high frequencies they are subdominant. We further consider prospects observing both of these regimes, which would be interesting for breaking parameter degeneracies, with multiband detections of LISA and ground-based detectors or the Einstein Telescope alone. We also assess the frequency range of the transition between these regimes by numerically solving the energy balance law. Our results highlight the importance of the dipolar scalar tidal effects for BHs with scalar hair, which arise in several beyond-GR paradigms, and provide ready-to-use inputs for improved GW constraints on Gauss-Bonnet theories.

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The application of van der Waals equation of state to the asymmetric nuclear matter is considered in a critical state region. The corrections to the van der Waals pressure and free energy due to the Fermi statistics are obtained starting from the Thomas--Fermi entropy expression which ensures the fulfilment of Nernst theorem. The derived corrections account for the effective nucleon mass and neutron-proton isotopic asymmetry. The parameters of van der Waals equation of state are deduced taking the experimental value of critical temperature for symmetric nuclear matter and testing the model of van der Waals with statistics corrections included against the theory of Skyrme energy density functional. Critical line in pressure-temperature-composition space is considered. Incompressibility coefficient is determined along the critical line as a function of nuclear matter composition. Jump in the value of specific heat upon crossing critical line is discussed.

description: Neuroblastoma (NB) is a highly heterogenous paediatric malignancy of the developing sympathetic nervous system. Approximately half of patients have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, coinciding with a survival rate of less than 50%. Therefore, elucidating the molecular basis of the metastatic process may guide novel strategies for drug discovery and therapy. With this in mind, we aimed to explore the invasion of NB in an ex vivo culture system. To this end, we isolated NB organoids from patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) and embedded them in 3D extracellular matrix (ECM) hydrogels. We also cultured clonal clusters of NB cell lines as well as organoids isolated from cell line xenografts to compare their behaviour to that of PDX organoids. We used 3D culture assays to directly observe local invasion under different microenvironmental conditions in high-resolution and real-time. We found that the invasion of NB organoids was dependent on the composition of the matrix, where Matrigel was the preferred substratum. Based on organoid morphologies, we have identified and characterised four distinct invasive phenotypes used by NB cells to overcome environmental challenges. Culturing organoids in medium supplemented with FBS and bFGF induced the most aggressive cellular behaviour and the widest range of phenotypes. Unlike organoids isolated from PDXs, we found that NB cell lines were phenotypically confined during ECM invasion and while organoids isolated from cell line xenografts displayed a broader range of phenotypes compared to clonal cell line clusters, they could not recapitulate the diversity seen in PDX organoids. We also used 3D invasion assays to show that repression of the prognostic marker MYCN, resulted in less aggressive cellular behaviour in a NB cell line. Overall, we propose the pairing of PDX organoid culture and 3D invasion assays as a valuable tool to discover the molecular mechanisms controlling local invasion in NB.

description: In the real world, many topics are inter-correlated, making it challenging to investigate their structure and relationships. Understanding the interplay between topics and their relevance can provide valuable insights for researchers, guiding their studies and informing the direction of research. In this paper, we utilize the topic-words distribution, obtained from topic models, as item-response data to model the structure of topics using a latent space item response model. By estimating the latent positions of topics based on their distances toward words, we can capture the underlying topic structure and reveal their relationships. Visualizing the latent positions of topics in Euclidean space allows for an intuitive understanding of their proximity and associations. We interpret relationships among topics by characterizing each topic based on representative words selected using a newly proposed scoring scheme. Additionally, we assess the maturity of topics by tracking their latent positions using different word sets, providing insights into the robustness of topics. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we analyze the topic composition of COVID-19 studies during the early stage of its emergence using biomedical literature in the PubMed database.

description: Data is the central asset of today's dynamically operating organization and their business. This data is usually stored in database. A major consideration is applied on the security of that data from the unauthorized access and intruders. Data encryption is a strong option for security of data in database and especially in those organizations where security risks are high. But there is a potential disadvantage of performance degradation. When we apply encryption on database then we should compromise between the security and efficient query processing. The work of this paper tries to fill this gap. It allows the users to query over the encrypted column directly without decrypting all the records. It's improves the performance of the system. The proposed algorithm works well in the case of range and fuzzy match queries.

description: VRChat is one of social virtual reality platforms and getting popular. Pseudo physical contacts are used for communication in VRChat. We performed a questionnaire survey for VRChat users (N=341) in Japan to take statistics of users and their avatars, and to investigate effects of pseudo physical contacts on interpersonal attractiveness and communication. Users were 87% male, 8% female, and 4% neutral genders in the real world, while their avatars were 4% male, 87% female, and 9% neutral. Participants answered that the interpersonal attractiveness increased and the communication difficulty decreased after pseudo physical contacts, suggesting that the pseudo physical contact may improve our social relationship without actual touch.

description: In this paper, we propose an augmented reality agent separated from the lecturer as his/her avatar to promote individual communication between the lecturer and the audience in parallel with one-to-many communication such as lectures. The proposed agent is expressed by 1-1) a shadow and 1-2) its trajectory drawn by projection mapping to the floor, as well as 2) localized footsteps using the parametric speaker. The agent approaches a particular audience member who seems to need to talk with the lecturer individually. To emphasize that the agent is the lecturer's avatar, the proposed system draws the trajectory from the lecturer's feet to the agent's current position and shakes the shadow's tail like will-o'-the-wisp. During the lecture, the agent approaches the audience member who wants individual communication with the lecturer. After that, the agent talks to the audience member as the lecturer. We expect that the proposed agent will aid in the individual communication between the lecturer and the audience without the audience's hesitation, and will be able to enable multiple and parallel communications with few additional resources required by the lecturer.

Large-scale analysis of frequency modulation in birdsong databases

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Sound (cs.SD)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Birdsong often contains large amounts of rapid frequency modulation (FM). It is believed that the use or otherwise of FM is adaptive to the acoustic environment, and also that there are specific social uses of FM such as trills in aggressive territorial encounters. Yet temporal fine detail of FM is often absent or obscured in standard audio signal analysis methods such as Fourier analysis or linear prediction. Hence it is important to consider high resolution signal processing techniques for analysis of FM in bird vocalisations. If such methods can be applied at big data scales, this offers a further advantage as large datasets become available. We introduce methods from the signal processing literature which can go beyond spectrogram representations to analyse the fine modulations present in a signal at very short timescales. Focusing primarily on the genus Phylloscopus, we investigate which of a set of four analysis methods most strongly captures the species signal encoded in birdsong. In order to find tools useful in practical analysis of large databases, we also study the computational time taken by the methods, and their robustness to additive noise and MP3 compression. We find three methods which can robustly represent species-correlated FM attributes, and that the simplest method tested also appears to perform the best. We find that features representing the extremes of FM encode species identity supplementary to that captured in frequency features, whereas bandwidth features do not encode additional information. Large-scale FM analysis can efficiently extract information useful for bioacoustic studies, in addition to measures more commonly used to characterise vocalisations.

description: Boson sampling, a computational problem conjectured to be hard to simulate on a classical machine, is a promising candidate for an experimental demonstration of quantum advantage using bosons. However, inevitable experimental noise and imperfections, such as loss in the interferometer and random counts at the detectors, could challenge the sampling task from entering the regime where quantum advantage is achievable. In this work we introduce higher order non-linearities as a mean to enhance the computational complexity of the problem and the protocol's robustness against noise, i.e. increase the noise threshold that allows to perform an efficient classical simulation of the problem. Using a phase-space method based on the negativity volume of the relevant quasi-probability distributions, we establish a necessary non-classicality condition that any experimental proof of quantum advantage must satisfy. Our results indicate that the addition of single-mode Kerr non-linearity at the input state preparation level, while retaining a linear-optical evolution, makes the Boson sampling protocol more robust against noise and consequently relaxes the constraints on noise parameters required to show quantum advantage.

description: We feel embarrassed not only when we are embarrassed but also when we are watching others embarrassed. Humans show empathy for pain not only human others but also robots. However, it has not been investigated whether humans show empathy for robot's embarrassment. Thus, we aimed to test whether humans can empathize with robot's embarrassment in virtual environments. Four situations both of non-embarrassing and embarrassing stimuli were presented on an HMD, and participants were asked to rate their own feeling of embarrassment and the actor's feeling of embarrassment. We found that the own feeling of embarrassment was higher in human than robot actors, and higher in embarrassing than non-embarrassing conditions. The actor's feeling of embarrassment was rated higher in embarrassing than non-embarrassing conditions, and the effect was much larger in human than robot actors. These results suggest that participants could show empathy with both for human and robot in the embarrassing situations, but they infer that the robot feels less embarrassed than humans.

description: It is shown that for any fixed $i>0$, the $Σ_{i+1}$-fragment of Presburger arithmetic, i.e., its restriction to $i+1$ quantifier alternations beginning with an existential quantifier, is complete for $\mathsfΣ^{\mathsf{EXP}}_{i}$, the $i$-th level of the weak EXP hierarchy, an analogue to the polynomial-time hierarchy residing between $\mathsf{NEXP}$ and $\mathsf{EXPSPACE}$. This result completes the computational complexity landscape for Presburger arithmetic, a line of research which dates back to the seminal work by Fischer & Rabin in 1974. Moreover, we apply some of the techniques developed in the proof of the lower bound in order to establish bounds on sets of naturals definable in the $Σ_1$-fragment of Presburger arithmetic: given a $Σ_1$-formula $Φ(x)$, it is shown that the set of non-negative solutions is an ultimately periodic set whose period is at most doubly-exponential and that this bound is tight.

description: Homochirality is a signature of life on Earth yet its origins remain an unsolved puzzle. Achieving homochirality is essential for a high-yielding prebiotic network capable of producing functional polymers like ribonucleic acid (RNA) and peptides. However, a prebiotically plausible and robust mechanism to reach homochirality has not been shown to this date. The chiral-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect has established a strong coupling between electron spin and molecular chirality and this coupling paves the way for breaking the chiral molecular symmetry by spin-selective processes. Magnetic surfaces can act as chiral agents due to the CISS effect and they can be templates for the enantioselective crystallization of chiral molecules. Here we studied the spin-selective crystallization of racemic ribo aminooxazoline (RAO), an RNA precursor, on magnetite ($Fe_3O_4$) surfaces, achieving an unprecedented enantiomeric excess of about 60$\%$. Following the initial enrichment, we then obtained homochiral crystals of RAO after a subsequent crystallization. Our work combines two necessary features for reaching homochirality: chiral symmetry-breaking induced by the magnetic surface and self-amplification by conglomerate crystallization of RAO. Our results demonstrate a prebiotically plausible way of achieving systems level homochirality from completely racemic starting materials.

description: A permutation of size $n$ can be identified to its diagram in which there is exactly one point per row and column in the grid $[n]^2$. In this paper we consider multidimensional permutations (or $d$-permutations), which are identified to their diagrams on the grid $[n]^d$ in which there is exactly one point per hyperplane $x_i=j$ for $i\in[d]$ and $j\in[n]$. We first investigate exhaustively all small pattern avoiding classes. We provide some bijection to enumerate some of these classes and we propose some conjectures for others. We then give a generalization of well-studied Baxter permutations into this multidimensional setting. In addition, we provide a vincular pattern avoidance characterization of Baxter $d$-permutations.

description: We aimed to investigate the effects of motion pattern and hand shape on social impressions of a massage robot. The experiment was performed in a virtual environment as an exploratory study. Participants observed a massage robot touching their body, and answered the Robot Social Attributes Scale. There were two motion patterns (discontinuous and smooth) and three types of end effectors (ball, robot hand, and human hand). We found that the massage robot was perceived more competent, warmer, and more comfortable when it moved smoothly than when it moved discontinuously, and the impression of warmth was higher for the human hand than the ball end effector. These results suggest that the massage robot should move smoothly and it would be better if its end effector is like a human hand.

description: Currently, insects represent a sustainable alternative to animal-based ingredients for pet food, but there is little information on the willingness of cat owners to incorporate insects into their pet diets. The objective of this study was to assess the perception of cat owners to feed insect-based feed. Between June and August 2021, an on-line survey was provided to cat owners in Chile; of the total number of participants (1,684), the majority were female (89.2%), with university education (73%) and omnivorous eating habits (63.7%). Participants had an average of 2 cats per household with indoor lifestyle (70.2%). Most participants (63.6%) were willing to feed insects to their cats. Participants were more willing to feed their cats treats containing 20% insect meal (Overall willingness (OW) = 7.1±3.1, on a scale of 1 to 10), than pure insect meal (OW = 4.9±3.3) or whole insects (OW = 4.4±3.3). Cricket meal treats were the most acceptable. Acceptance toward insects increased when mentioning the environmental benefits of insect production (OW= 7.6±2.9). Participants more willing to offer insect-based treats to their cats were also more willing to use pure insect meal and even whole insects. The reasons for not wanting to include insects in cat feed were disgust, unfamiliarity and preference for traditional pet foods.

description: Tin Sulphide (SnS) thin films have been recognized as a potential candidate for solar cells. Many fabrication techniques have been used to grow SnS thin films. The band-gap, ${\rm E_g}$ of SnS films as reported in literature, were found to vary from 1.2-2.5 eV depending on the film fabrication technique. The present work reports the structural, compositional, morphological and optical characterization of SnS thin films fabricated by thermal evaporation at room temperature. Results show that for the given fabrication technique/ condition, the band-gap functionally depends on the lattice parameter and grain size. The well-defined variation allows for tailoring SnS film as per requirement.

description: As part of the investigation of the stress distribution in metal covered wings leading to the most efficient distribution of materials, experiments have been made with flat plates reinforced with stiffeners under concentrated edge loads.  Two theoretical solutions have been proposed: one by means of differential equations, considering the sheet between the stiffeners as the medium of transfer and the amount of load transferred to be proportional to the differences in the deflections; the other method, using the principle of the minimum of energy, approximates the accurate solution by considering the loaded system to be composed of columns (stiffeners acting with an effective width of sheet) under compression, the sheet being under shear.
A Wind Interaction System from the Real to the Virtual World

description: We propose a wind interaction system from the real to the virtual world. Specifically, when the spectator waves the VIVE controller to the VR player, a wind is generated according to the direction and acceleration of waving in both real and virtual side. In flight content of this system, the aircraft tilts under the influence of the wind, and the motion platform reproduces the actual tilt. With this system, it is expected that spectators waiting for a VR experience and people who do not want to wear an HMD due to VR sickness etc. can enjoy one VR content together by disturbing or supporting the VR player.

description: We address the difference between integrable and chaotic motion in quantum theory as manifested by the complexity of the corresponding evolution operators. Complexity is understood here as the shortest geodesic distance between the time-dependent evolution operator and the origin within the group of unitaries. (An appropriate `complexity metric' must be used that takes into account the relative difficulty of performing `nonlocal' operations that act on many degrees of freedom at once.) While simply formulated and geometrically attractive, this notion of complexity is numerically intractable save for toy models with Hilbert spaces of very low dimensions. To bypass this difficulty, we trade the exact definition in terms of geodesics for an upper bound on complexity, obtained by minimizing the distance over an explicitly prescribed infinite set of curves, rather than over all possible curves. Identifying this upper bound turns out equivalent to the closest vector problem (CVP) previously studied in integer optimization theory, in particular, in relation to lattice-based cryptography. Effective approximate algorithms are hence provided by the existing mathematical considerations, and they can be utilized in our analysis of the upper bounds on quantum evolution complexity. The resulting algorithmically implemented complexity bound systematically assigns lower values to integrable than to chaotic systems, as we demonstrate by explicit numerical work for Hilbert spaces of dimensions up to ~10^4.

A Study of Miocene Vulcanism in Southern California
Creators: name: Bonillas, Ygnacio, III
Publisher: name: California Institute of Technology
Year: 1935
Subjects: subject: Geology
subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: The widespread Miocene volcanic rocks of Southern California represent at least four distinct epochs of activity. Lower Miocene vulcanism is represented by the basic hypersthene andesite flows north of Soledad Canyon and east of Mint Canyon. Lower middle Miocene flows are found in the Santa Monica Mountains and the Verdugo Hills; they are olivine poor basalts. Upper middle Miocene intrusives are abundant in the Santa Monica Mountains; they are usually olivine rich basalts. Upper Miocene siliceous andesite and dacite flows occur in the San Jose Hills. It is found that the distinction between the lower, middle, and upper Miocene volcanics is sharp, but that the two epochs of middle Miocene vulcanism resulted in quite similar rooks. The latter rocks are the most abundant in this region, and volcanics of lower or upper Miocene age are rare.
Multiscale linearization of nonautonomous systems

Subjects: subject: Classical Analysis and ODEs (math.CA)

description: We present sufficient conditions under which a given linear nonautonomous system and its nonlinear perturbation are topologically conjugated. Our conditions are of a very general form and provided that the nonlinear perturbations are well-behaved, we do not assume any asymptotic behaviour of the linear system. Moreover, the control on the nonlinear perturbations may differ along finitely many mutually complementary directions. We consider both the cases of one-sided discrete and continuous dynamics.
Vector-bilepton Contribution to Four Lepton Production at the LHC

description: Some extensions of the standard model predict the existence of particles having two units of leptonic charge, known as bileptons. One of such models is based on the $SU(3)_c\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ symmetry group (3-3-1 model, for short). Our search uses the minimal version of the 3-3-1 model, having exotic charges for the quarks and new gauge bosons. This model predicts the existence of bileptons as vector particles having one ($V^{\pm}$) and two ($Y^{\pm\pm}$) units of electric charge. We study the signatures for the production of four leptons by considering the contribution of a pair of bileptons in $p p $ collisions for three energy and luminosity regimes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). We present invariant mass and transverse momentum distributions, the total cross section and we determine the expected number of events for each bilepton type. Finally we analyze the LHC potential for discovering singly and doubly charged vector bileptons at 95$%$ C.L.. We conclude that the LHC collider can show a clear signature for the existence of bileptons as a signal of new physics.

User interface design

description: In the fields of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), many applications involve user interfaces (UIs) to display various types of information to users. Such UIs are an important component that influences user experience and human factors in AR/VR because the users are directly facing and interacting with them to absorb the visualized information and manipulate the content. While consumer's interests in different forms of near-eye displays, such as AR/VR head-mounted displays (HMDs), are increasing, research on the design standard for AR/VR UIs and human factors becomes more and more interesting and timely important. Although UI configurations, such as dark mode and light mode, have increased in popularity on other display types over the last several years, they have yet to make their way into AR/VR devices as built in features. This demo showcases several use cases of dark mode and light mode UIs on AR/VR HMDs, and provides general guidelines for when they should be used to provide perceptual benefits to the user.

description: We describe a theoretical proposal of a nanofibre-based trap for a Rb$_2$ molecule prepared in the metastable state $(1)^3Σ^+_u$. The trapping potential results from the combination of a travelling and a standing-wave fields, both carried by the fundamental guided mode HE$_{11}$ of the fibre. We show that, with an experimentally realistic choice of laser frequencies and powers, one can implement a $\approx 200$ $μ$K-deep well at $\approx 140$ nm from the fibre surface accomodating for $\approx 500$ translational molecular states.

description: Digital/human encounter is explored through a suite of experiences that comprises common/room, an art installation that uses various modes of Extended Reality (XR) to support social engagement and generate connections with a view to reversing processes of societal atomisation and intercultural discomfort (racism). common/room is exhibited as an informal dining room where each table hosts a distinct experience, designed to bring people together for discussion, active listening and considered response. Although XR is my tool, real encounter is my aim. Each experience, be it using 360 3D video in a headset or projection, or AR, simulates informal face-to-face encounters in the setting of a domestic kitchen or dining room. Visitors to one such experience, First Contact - Take 2, are invited to sit at a dining table where, by wearing a head-mounted Augmented Reality display, they encounter a volumetric representation of an indigenous Maori woman seated opposite. She speaks out of her culture that has refined collective endeavour and relational psychology over millennia.
