description: Various studies conducted on Centaurea species indicate that the relevant plant is good source of bioactive phytochemicals. In this study, in vitro studies were used to determine bioactivity properties of methanol extract of Centaurea mersinensis - endemic species in Turkey - on extensive basis. Furthermore, the interaction of target molecules, identified for breast cancer and phytochemicals in the extract, was investigated via in silico analyses to support findings received in vitro. Scutellarin, quercimeritrin, chlorogenic acid and baicalin were primary phytochemicals in the extract. Methanol extract and scutellarin had higher cytotoxic effects against MCF-7 (IC50=22.17 µg/mL, and IC50=8.25 µM, respectively), compared to other breast cancer cell lines (MDA-MB-231, SKBR-3). The extract had strong antioxidant properties and inhibited target enzymes, especially α-amylase (371.69 mg AKE/g extract). The results of molecular docking indicate that main compounds of extract show high-strength bonding to the c-Kit tyrosine among target molecules identified in breast cancer, compared to other target molecules (MMP-2, MMP-9, VEGFR2 kinase, Aurora-A kinase, HER2). The tyrosinase kinase (1T46)-Scutellarin complex showed considerable stability in 150 ns simulation as per MD findings, and it was coherent with optimal docking findings. Docking findings and HOMO-LUMO analysis results corresponds with in vitro experiments. Medicinal properties of phytochemicals, which was determined to be suitable for oral use along with ADMET, were found to be within normal limits except for their polarity properties. In conclusion, in vitro and in silico studies indicated that the relevant plant yields promising results regarding its potential to develop novel and effective medicational products.

description: The magnetic anisotropy of thin (~ 200 nm) and thick (~ 2 $μ$m) films and of polycrystalline (diameters ~ 60 nm) powders of the Prussian blue analogue Rb$_{0.7}$Ni$_{4.0}$[Cr(CN)$_6$]$_{2.9} \cdot n$H$_2$O, a ferromagnetic material with $T_c \sim 70$ K, have been investigated by magnetization, ESR at 50 GHz and 116 GHz, and variable-temperature x-ray diffraction (XRD). The origin of the anisotropic magnetic response cannot be attributed to the direct influence of the solid support, but the film growth protocol that preserves an organized two-dimensional film is important. In addition, the anisotropy does not arise from an anisotropic g-tensor nor from magneto-lattice variations above and below $T_c$. By considering effects due to magnetic domains and demagnetization factors, the analysis provides reasonable descriptions of the low and high field data, thereby identifying the origin of the magnetic anisotropy.

description: We generalise the problem of inverse reinforcement learning to multiple tasks, from multiple demonstrations. Each one may represent one expert trying to solve a different task, or as different experts trying to solve the same task. Our main contribution is to formalise the problem as statistical preference elicitation, via a number of structured priors, whose form captures our biases about the relatedness of different tasks or expert policies. In doing so, we introduce a prior on policy optimality, which is more natural to specify. We show that our framework allows us not only to learn to efficiently from multiple experts but to also effectively differentiate between the goals of each. Possible applications include analysing the intrinsic motivations of subjects in behavioural experiments and learning from multiple teachers.

description: We discuss how the wettability and roughness of a solid impacts its hydrodynamic properties. We see in particular that hydrophobic slippage can be dramatically affected by the presence of roughness. Owing to the development of refined methods for setting very well-controlled micro- or nanotextures on a solid, these effects are being exploited to induce novel hydrodynamic properties, such as giant interfacial slip, superfluidity, mixing, and low hydrodynamic drag, that could not be achieved without roughness.

description: The method of preliminary group classification is rigorously defined, enhanced and related to the theory of group classification of differential equations. Typical weaknesses in papers on this method are discussed and strategies to overcome them are presented. The preliminary group classification of the class of generalized diffusion equations of the form u_t=f(x,u)u_x^2+g(x,u)u_{xx} is carried out. This includes a justification for applying this method to the given class, the simultaneous computation of the equivalence algebra and equivalence group, as well as the classification of inequivalent appropriate subalgebras of the whole infinite-dimensional equivalence algebra. The extensions of the kernel algebra, which are induced by such subalgebras, are exhaustively described. These results improve those recently published in Commun. Nonlinear Sci. Numer. Simul.

description: We study collective oscillations of a two-flavor neutrino system with arbitrary but fixed density. In the vacuum limit, modes with different energies quickly de-phase (kinematical decoherence), whereas in the limit of infinite density they lock to each other (synchronization). For intermediate densities, we find different classes of solutions. There is always a phase transition in the sense of partial synchronization occurring only above a density threshold. For small mixing angles, partial or complete decoherence can be induced by a parametric resonance, introducing a new time scale to the problem, the final outcome depending on the spectrum and mixing angle. We derive an analytic relation that allows us to calculate the late-time degree of coherence based on the spectrum alone.

description: Interwiners are the building blocks of spin-network states. The space of intertwiners is the quantization of a classical symplectic manifold introduced by Kapovich and Millson. Here we show that a theorem by Minkowski allows us to interpret generic configurations in this space as bounded convex polyhedra in Euclidean space: a polyhedron is uniquely described by the areas and normals to its faces. We provide a reconstruction of the geometry of the polyhedron: we give formulas for the edge lengths, the volume and the adjacency of its faces. At the quantum level, this correspondence allows us to identify an intertwiner with the state of a quantum polyhedron, thus generalizing the notion of quantum tetrahedron familiar in the loop quantum gravity literature. Moreover, coherent intertwiners result to be peaked on the classical geometry of polyhedra. We discuss the relevance of this result for loop quantum gravity. In particular, coherent spin-network states with nodes of arbitrary valence represent a collection of semiclassical polyhedra. Furthermore, we introduce an operator that measures the volume of a quantum polyhedron and examine its relation with the standard volume operator of loop quantum gravity. We also comment on the semiclassical limit of spinfoams with non-simplicial graphs.

description: The outcomes of measurements on entangled quantum systems can be nonlocally correlated. However, while it is easy to write down toy theories allowing arbitrary nonlocal correlations, those allowed in quantum mechanics are limited. Quantum correlations cannot, for example, violate a principle known as macroscopic locality, which implies that they cannot violate Tsirelson's bound. This work shows that there is a connection between the strength of nonlocal correlations in a physical theory, and the structure of the state spaces of individual systems. This is illustrated by a family of models in which local state spaces are regular polygons, where a natural analogue of a maximally entangled state of two systems exists. We characterize the nonlocal correlations obtainable from such states. The family allows us to study the transition between classical, quantum, and super-quantum correlations, by varying only the local state space. We show that the strength of nonlocal correlations - in particular whether the maximally entangled state violates Tsirelson's bound or not - depends crucially on a simple geometric property of the local state space, known as strong self-duality. This result is seen to be a special case of a general theorem, which states that a broad class of entangled states in probabilistic theories - including, by extension, all bipartite classical and quantum states - cannot violate macroscopic locality. Finally, our results show that there exist models which are locally almost indistinguishable from quantum mechanics, but can nevertheless generate maximally nonlocal correlations.

A minimal quasiparticle approach for the QGP and its large-$N_c$ limits

description: We propose a quasiparticle approach allowing to compute the equation of state of a generic gauge theory with gauge group SU($N_c$) and quarks in an arbitrary representation. Our formalism relies on the thermal quasiparticle masses (quarks and gluons) computed from Hard-Thermal-Loop techniques, in which the standard two-loop running coupling constant is used. Our model is minimal in the sense that we do not allow any extra ansatz concerning the temperature-dependence of the running coupling. We first show that it is able to reproduce the most recent equations of state computed on the lattice for temperatures higher than 2 $T_c$. In this range of temperatures, an ideal gas framework is indeed expected to be relevant. Then we study the accuracy of various inequivalent large-$N_c$ limits concerning the description of the QCD results, as well as the equivalence between the QCD$_{AS}$ limit and the ${\cal N}=1$ SUSY Yang-Mills theory. Finally, we estimate the dissociation temperature of the $Υ$-meson and comment on the estimations' stability regarding the different considered large-$N_c$ limits.

Can LLMs Leverage Observational Data? Towards Data-Driven Causal Discovery with LLMs

description: Causal discovery traditionally relies on statistical methods applied to observational data, often requiring large datasets and assumptions about underlying causal structures. Recent advancements in Large Language Models (LLMs) have introduced new possibilities for causal discovery by providing domain expert knowledge. However, it remains unclear whether LLMs can effectively process observational data for causal discovery. In this work, we explore the potential of LLMs for data-driven causal discovery by integrating observational data for LLM-based reasoning. Specifically, we examine whether LLMs can effectively utilize observational data through two prompting strategies: pairwise prompting and breadth first search (BFS)-based prompting. In both approaches, we incorporate the observational data directly into the prompt to assess LLMs' ability to infer causal relationships from such data. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that incorporating observational data enhances causal discovery, boosting F1 scores by up to 0.11 point using both pairwise and BFS LLM-based prompting, while outperforming traditional statistical causal discovery baseline by up to 0.52 points. Our findings highlight the potential and limitations of LLMs for data-driven causal discovery, demonstrating their ability to move beyond textual metadata and effectively interpret and utilize observational data for more informed causal reasoning. Our studies lays the groundwork for future advancements toward fully LLM-driven causal discovery.
Furthering the Development of Virtual Agents and Communication Robot Devices through the Consideration of the Temporal Home: Figure and Table information

We recruited representatives from 15 households with varied compositions, ranging from single inhabitants to full nest families. Drawing upon P.G. Wodehouse’s The Inimitable Jeeves as inspiration, the methodology sought to imitate the relationship between a recruitment agency worker (researcher) and an employer (household participant) seeking to hire a human personal assistant (e.g., an ‘Amazon Echo Dot’ or ‘Google Home’ type of device) for their home. A ‘household audit’ comprising a guided household tour followed by an architectural survey was undertaken to determine the spatiotemporal routines within the home. Householder descriptions were scrutinized through the traditional Labovian narrative schema, with findings being discussed through Reddy et al’s notion of temporal features to examine how routine activities emerge and unfold within the home from a temporal perspective. We argue that the temporal concepts discussed by Reddy et al. are a useful lens for understanding the temporal nature of the activities that take place in a home and how VAs can better fulfil their roles as domesticated ‘human personal assistant’.

description: We construct a Lorentz-covariant connection in the context of first order canonical gravity with non-vanishing Barbero-Immirzi parameter. To do so, we start with the phase space formulation derived from the canonical analysis of the Holst action in which the second class constraints have been solved explicitly. This allows us to avoid the use of Dirac brackets. In this context, we show that there is a "unique" Lorentz-covariant connection which is commutative in the sense of the Poisson bracket, and which furthermore agrees with the connection found by Alexandrov using the Dirac bracket. This result opens a new way toward the understanding of Lorentz-covariant loop quantum gravity.

description: We construct explicitly deformations of Einstein's theory of gravity that are consistent and phenomenologically viable since they respect, in particular, cosmological backgrounds. We show that these deformations have unique symmetries in accordance with unitarity requirements, and give rise to a curvature induced self-stabilizing mechanism. As a consequence, any nonlinear completed deformation must incorporate self-stabilization on generic spacetimes already at lowest order in perturbation theory. Furthermore, our findings include the possibility of consistent and phenomenologically viable deformations of general relativity that are solely operative on curved spacetime geometries, reducing to Einstein's theory on the Minkowski background.

Game on: medieval players and their texts
Creators: name: Patterson, Serina Laureen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation addresses the social significance of parlour games as forms of cultural expression in medieval and early modern England and France by exploring how the convergence of textual materialities, players, and narratives manifested in interactive texts, board games, and playing cards. Medieval games, I argue, do not always fit neatly into traditional or modern theoretical game models, and modern blanket definitions of ‘game’—often stemming from the study of digital games—provide an anachronistic understanding of how medieval people imagined their games and game-worlds. Chapter 1 explores what the idea of ‘game’ meant for medieval authors, readers, and players in what I call ‘game-texts’—literary texts that blurred the modern boundaries between what we would consider ‘game’ and ‘literature’ and whose mechanics are often thought to be outside the definition of ‘game.’ Chapter 2 examines how recreational mathematics puzzles and chess problems penned in manuscript collections operate as sites of pleasure, edification, and meditative playspaces in different social contexts from the gentry households to clerical cloisters. The mechanics, layout, narrative, and compilation of chess problems rendered them useful for learning the art and skill of the game in England. Chapter 3 traces the circulation, manuscript contexts, and afterlives of two game-text genres in England—the demandes d’amour and the fortune-telling string games—in order to understand how they functioned as places of engagement and entertainment for poets, scribes, and players. Chapter 4 illustrates how narrative and geography became driving forces for the development and rise of the modern thematic game in Early Modern Europe. This chapter charts how changing ideas of spatiality enabled tabletop games to shift from abstract structures enjoyed by players in the Middle Ages, in which game narratives take place off a board, to ludic objects that incorporated real-life elements in their design of fictional worlds—thereby fashioning spaces that could visually accommodate narrative on the board itself. This dissertation places games into a more nuanced historical and cultural context, showing not only the varied methods by which medieval players enjoyed games but also how these ideas developed and changed over time.

description: Large-N QCD with heavy adjoint fermions emulates pure Yang-Mills theory at long distances. We study this theory on a four- and three-torus, and analytically argue the existence of a large-small volume equivalence. For any finite mass, center symmetry unbroken phase exists at sufficiently small volume and this phase can be used to study the large-volume limit through the Eguchi-Kawai equivalence. A finite temperature version of volume independence implies that thermodynamics on R^3 x S^1 can be studied via a unitary matrix quantum mechanics on S^1, by varying the temperature. To confirm this non-perturbatively, we numerically study both zero- and one-dimensional theories by using Monte-Carlo simulation. Order of finite-N corrections turns out to be 1/N. We introduce various twisted versions of the reduced QCD which systematically suppress finite-N corrections. Using a twisted model, we observe the confinement/deconfinement transition on a 1^3 x 2-lattice. The result agrees with large volume simulations of Yang-Mills theory. We also comment that the twisted model can serve as a non-perturbative formulation of the non-commutative Yang-Mills theory.

 information about the importance of these joint undertakings and the meticulous planning which went into them can be found in the archives and the ofttimes enthusiastic reports that have appeared in the Mitteilungen der VÖB and in Biblos over the years. The library landscape in Austria is colourful and heterogeneous. The VÖB or, to be more precise, the individual committed members, succeeded, first in post-war Austria by snail mail, later through the modest
Mitteilungen and nowadays by blog and a high quality peer-reviewed journal.

The characteristic scaling of the collective coupling strength with the square root of the number of emitters is observed directly. Additionally, we measure hyperfine coupling to 13C nuclear spins, which is a first step towards a nuclear ensemble quantum memory. Using the dispersive shift of the cavity resonance frequency, we measure the relaxation time T1 of the NV center at millikelvin temperatures in a non-destructive way.

description: We present a novel way of constructing reduced models for systems of ordinary differential equations. The reduced models we construct depend on coefficients which measure the importance of the different terms appearing in the model and need to be estimated. The proposed approach allows the estimation of these coefficients on the fly by enforcing the equality of integral quantities of the solution as computed from the original system and the reduced model. In particular, the approach combines the concepts of renormalization and effective field theory developed in the context of high energy physics and the Mori-Zwanzig formalism of irreversible statistical mechanics. It allows to construct stable reduced models of higher order than was previously possible. The method is applied to the problem of computing reduced models for ordinary differential equation systems resulting from Fourier expansions of singular (or near-singular) time-dependent partial differential equations. Results for the 1D Burgers and the 3D incompressible Euler equations are used to illustrate the construction. We also present, for the 1D Burgers and the 3D Euler equations, a simple and efficient recursive algorithm for calculating the higher order terms.

description: The Dirac nature of the gauginos (and also the Higgsinos) can be realized in $R$-symmetric supersymmetry models. In this class of models, the Dirac bino (or wino) with a small mixture of the Dirac Higgsinos is a good dark matter candidate. When the seesaw mechanism with Higgs triplet superfields is implemented to account for the neutrino masses and mixing, the leptogenesis driven by the heavy triplet decay is shown to produce not only the matter-antimatter asymmetry but also the asymmetric relic density of the Dirac gaugino dark matter. The dark matter mass turns out to be controlled by the Yukawa couplings of the heavy Higgs triplets, and it can be naturally at the weak scale for a mild hierarchy of the Yukawa couplings.

Quantum phase transitions in attractive extended Bose-Hubbard Model with three-body constraint

description: The effect of nearest-neighbor repulsion on the ground-state phase diagrams of three-body constrained attractive Bose lattice gases is explored numerically. When the repulsion is turned on, in addition to the uniform Mott insulating state and two superfluid phases (the atomic and the dimer superfluids), a dimer checkerboard solid state appears at unit filling, where boson pairs form a solid with checkerboard structure. We find also that the first-order transitions between the uniform Mott insulating state and the atomic superfluid state can be turned into the continuous ones as the repulsion is increased. Moreover, the stability regions of the dimer superfluid phase can be extended to modest values of the hopping parameter by tuning the strength of the repulsion. Our conclusions hence shed light on the search of the dimer superfluid phase in real ultracold Bose gases in optical lattices.

Renormalization of transition matrix elements of particle number operators due to strong electron correlation

description: Renormalization of non-magnetic and magnetic impurities due to electron double occupancy prohibition is derived analytically by an improved Gutzwiller approximation. Non-magnetic impurities are effectively weakened by the same renormalization factor as that for the hopping amplitude, whereas magnetic impurities are strengthened by the square root of the spin-exchange renormalization factor, in contrast to results by the conventional Gutzwiller approximation. We demonstrate it by showing that transition matrix elements of number operators between assumed excited states and between an assumed ground state and excited states are renormalized differently than diagonal matrix elements. Deviation from such simple renormalization with a factor is also discussed. In addition, as related calculation, we correct an error in treatment of renormalization of charge interaction in the literature. Namely, terms from the second order of the transition matrix elements are strongly suppressed. Since all these results do not depend on the signs of impurity potential or charge interaction parameter, they are valid both in attractive and repulsive cases.

“They Don’t Know What it’s Like to be Blind”: Assessing Healthcare Access for Visually Impaired New Yorkers
Creators: name: Balachandran, Uma
Publisher: name: University of Chicago

description: Disabled individuals at large, and visually impaired individuals in particular, encounter a range of obstacles when attempting to access healthcare in the United States. However, the few studies that have documented the experiences of visually impaired patients as they access healthcare either fail to capture the voices of a diverse range of participants or focus on documenting the opinions of healthcare providers and not of their patients. In this paper, I identify the strengths and weaknesses that visually impaired adults residing in New York State encounter when accessing healthcare. Using Community Based Participatory Action Research (CBPAR) methods, I interviewed 47 visually impaired adults residing in New York State to document strengths/solutions and weaknesses/obstacles they encountered when visiting a healthcare provider. Specifically, I found that visually impaired patients were most impacted by the environmental factors of transportation, design of facilities, and the format of written information, as well as the personal factors of staff’s sensitivity toward and familiarity with appropriately assisting disabled individuals. Participants also noted encountering an array of illegal obstacles, ranging from inaccessible buildings to one instance of sexual assault by a physician. Based on these findings, I offer recommendations for both government actors and healthcare providers and argue that both sets of actors must work to improve compliance with existing accessibility legislation. The findings presented here may help guide these actors as they work to develop more comprehensive policies and legislation in the future to ensure improved access to healthcare for visually impaired individuals.

description: The quantum transport of Dirac cone states in the iron pnictide Ba(FeAs)$_2$ with a d-\,multiband system is studied by using single crystal samples. The transverse magnetoresistance develops linearly against magnetic field at low temperatures. The transport phenomena are interpreted in terms of the 0$^{th}$ Landau level by applying the theory predicted by Abrikosov. The results of the semiclassical analyses of a two carrier system under low magnetic field limit show that both electron and hole reside as the high mobility states, being indicative to the fact that both electron- and hole Dirac cone states should be taken into account in pairs for having the real interpretation of low temperature electronic states in iron pnictides, being in contrast to the previous reports.

description: We construct a Lagrangian formulation of \Nf supersymmetric mechanics with hyper-Kähler sigma models in a bosonic sector in the non-Abelian background gauge field. The resulting action includes a wide class of \Nf supersymmetric mechanics describing the motion of an isospin-carrying particle over spaces with non-trivial geometry. In two examples we discuss in details, the background fields are identified with the field of BPST instantons in the flat and Taub-NUT spaces.
