description: Part of a collection of letters written by E.M. Forster to Sir Alec Randall. They concern, firstly, his trip to Rumania, where he stayed with the Randalls; a tour in France in 1928; and his journey home. Later letters include references to such literary people as Herbert Read, Harold Monro and T.S. Eliot, plus a mention of reading James Joyce's "Ulysses". He also refers to his visit to Africa and his sentiments about the Spanish Civil War and W.W.II. Most of the later letters are signed "Morgan". E. M. Forster was born in London. He is principally known as a novelist and was associated with the Bloomsbury Group, which included Virginia Woolf. Among his best known works are "A Room With A View" (1911) and "A Passage To India" (1924). Many of his novels have been dramatized. He also wrote short stories, drama, non-fiction and criticism. He died at King's College, Cambridge, where he had resided since the mid 1940s. His friend, Sir Alec Randall was with the British legation in Bucharest, Rumania, and was later appointed to serve in Rome. Forster did not find his trip to Africa interesting.

On New Proposal for Holographic BCFT

description: This paper is an extended version of our short letter on a new proposal for holographic boundary conformal field, i.e., BCFT. By using the Penrose-Brown-Henneaux (PBH) transformation, we successfully obtain the expected boundary Weyl anomaly. The obtained boundary central charges satisfy naturally a c-like theorem holographically. We then develop an approach of holographic renormalization for BCFT, and reproduce the correct boundary Weyl anomaly. This provides a non-trivial check of our proposal. We also investigate the holographic entanglement entropy of BCFT and find that our proposal gives the expected orthogonal condition that the minimal surface must be normal to the spacetime boundaries if they intersect. This is another support for our proposal. We also find that the entanglement entropy depends on the boundary conditions of BCFT and the distance to the boundary; and that the entanglement wedge behaves a phase transition, which is important for the self-consistency of AdS/BCFT. Finally, we show that the proposal of arXiv:1105.5165 is too restrictive that it always make vanishing some of the boundary central charges.
description: Introduction improved, references added, give the details of key calculations in appendix C, add a note to show the criticism of our results on Weyl anomaly in arXiv:1702.00566v1 is not correct and remind the readers that these authors have changed their results and reproduced our results in arXiv:1702.00566v2

description: In approval voting, individuals vote for all platforms that they find acceptable. In this situation it is natural to ask: When is agreement possible? What conditions guarantee that some fraction of the voters agree on even a single platform? Berg et. al. found such conditions when voters are asked to make a decision on a single issue that can be represented on a linear spectrum. In particular, they showed that if two out of every three voters agree on a platform, there is a platform that is acceptable to a majority of the voters. Hardin developed an analogous result when the issue can be represented on a circular spectrum. We examine scenarios in which voters must make two decisions simultaneously. For example, if voters must decide on the day of the week to hold a meeting and the length of the meeting, then the space of possible options forms a cylindrical spectrum. Previous results do not apply to these multi-dimensional voting societies because a voter's preference on one issue often impacts their preference on another. We present a general lower bound on agreement in a two-dimensional voting society, and then examine specific results for societies whose spectra are cylinders and tori.

On wormholes with long throats and the stability problem

description: We construct explicit examples of globally regular static, spherically symmetric solutions of general relativity with a phantom scalar field as the source of gravity, describing traversable wormholes with flat asymptotic regions on both sides of the throat as well as regular black holes, in particular, those called black universes. To explain why such phantom fields are not observed under usual conditions, we invoke the concept of "invisible ghosts," which means that the phantom field decays quickly enough at infinity and is there too weak to be observed. This approach leads to wormhole models in which the spherical radius is almost constant in some range of the radial coordinate near the throat, forming a "long throat". We discuss the peculiar features and difficulties of the stability problem for such configurations. It is shown that the limiting case of a "maximally long throat" has the form of an unstable model with the Nariai metric. This allows us to conjecture that a long throat does not stabilize wormholes with a scalar source.

description: Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells, long proposed for HIV-1 treatment, has yet to achieve desirable therapeutic efficacy. In our study, M10 CAR-T cells were used for treating 18 HIV-1 patients via a regimen combining two M10 infusions and repeat chidamide stimulation for HIV reservoir activation. Consequently, 74.3% of M10 infusions resulted in significant suppression of viral rebound (averaging 77.4% decline), with 10 patients showing persistently reduced cell-associated HIV-1 RNA levels (averaging > 1.15 log10) over the 150-day observation period. To evaluate the genetic change, the PCR products were sequenced on a PacBio sequel platform by Genewiz (Genewiz, Suzhou, China) in 8 HIV patients treated by M10 CAR-T immunotherapy and 2 controls only applied with HAART therapy. High-throughput sequencing of partial pol gene and env gene amplified from whole blood samples at baseline or final visit.The results demonstrated that several participants showed a genetic shift in the composition of viral reservoir populations after treatment. Additionally, in some participants, the remaining proviruses showed reduced overall diversity in the virus pol gene. The results also reveal the selective pressure mainly targeted the env gene. This comprehensive survey supported the potential of M10 CAR-T cells as a new, safe, and effective therapeutic option toward HIV-1 eradication in AIDS patients.
Weighing neutrinos in the scenario of vacuum energy interacting with cold dark matter: application of the parameterized post-Friedmann approach

description: We constrain the neutrino mass in the scenario of vacuum energy interacting with cold dark matter by using current cosmological observations. To avoid the large-scale instability problem in interacting dark energy models, we employ the parameterized post-Friedmann (PPF) approach to do the calculation of perturbation evolution, for the $Q=βHρ_{\rm c}$ and $Q=βHρ_Λ$ models. The current observational data sets used in this work include Planck (cosmic microwave background), BSH (baryon acoustic oscillations, type Ia supernovae, and Hubble constant), and LSS (redshift space distortions and weak lensing). According to the constraint results, we find that $β>0$ at more than $1σ$ level for the $Q=βHρ_{\rm c}$ model, which indicates that cold dark matter decays into vacuum energy; while $β=0$ is consistent with the current data at $1σ$ level for the $Q=βHρ_Λ$ model. Taking the $Λ$CDM model as a baseline model, we find that a smaller upper limit, $\sum m_ν<0.11$ eV ($2σ$), is induced by the latest BAO BOSS DR12 data and the Hubble constant measurement $H_{0} = 73.00 \pm 1.75$ km~s$^{-1}$~Mpc$^{-1}$. For the $Q=βHρ_{\rm c}$ model, we obtain $\sum m_ν<0.20$ eV ($2σ$) from Planck+BSH. For the $Q=βHρ_Λ$ model, $\sum m_ν<0.10$ eV ($2σ$) and $\sum m_ν<0.14$ eV ($2σ$) are derived from Planck+BSH and Planck+BSH+LSS, respectively. We show that these smaller upper limits on $\sum m_ν$ are affected more or less by the tension between $H_{0}$ and other observational data.

description: Using high-resolution observations from the 1.6 m New Solar Telescope (NST) operating at the Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO), we report direct evidence of merging/reconnection of cool H$α$ loops in the chromosphere during two homologous flares (B- and C-class) caused by a shear motion at the footpoint of two loops. The reconnection between these loops caused the formation of an unstable flux rope which showed counterclockwise rotation. The flux rope could not reach the height of torus instability and failed to form a coronal mass ejection. The HMI magnetograms revealed rotation of the negative/positive (N1/P2) polarity sunspots in the opposite directions, which increased the right and left-handed twist in the magnetic structures rooted at N1/P2. Rapid photospheric flux cancellation (duration$\sim$20-30 min, rate$\approx$3.44$\times$10$^{20}$ Mx h$^{-1}$) was observed during and even after the first B6.0 flare and continued until the end of the second C2.3 flare. The RHESSI X-ray sources were located at the site of the loop's coalescence. To the best of our knowledge, such a clear interaction of chromospheric loops along with rapid flux cancellation has not been reported before. These high-resolution observations suggest the formation of a small flux rope by a series of magnetic reconnection within chromospheric loops associated with very rapid flux cancellation.

Intercalation kinetics in multiphase layered materials

description: Many intercalation compounds possess layered structures or inter-penetrating lattices that enable phase separation into three or more stable phases, or "stages," driven by competing intra-layer and inter-layer forces. While these structures are often well characterized in equilibrium, their effects on intercalation kinetics and transport far from equilibrium are typically neglected or approximated by empirical solid solution models. Here, we formulate a general phase-field model with thermodynamically consistent reaction kinetics and cooperative transport to capture the dynamics of intercalation in layered materials. As an important case for Li-ion batteries, we model single particles of lithium intercalated graphite as having a periodic two-layer structure with three stable phases, corresponding to zero, one, or two layers full of lithium. The electrochemical intercalation reaction is described by a generalized Butler-Volmer equation with thermodynamic factors to account for the flexible structure of the graphene planes. The model naturally captures the "voltage staircase" discharge curves as a result of staging dynamics with internal "checkerboard" domains, which cannot be described by solid-solution models based on Fickian diffusion. On the other hand, the two-layer model is computationally expensive and excludes low-density stable phases with longer-range periodicity, so we also present a reduced model for graphite, which captures the high-density stages while fitting the low-density voltage profile as an effective solid solution. The two models illustrate the general tradeoff between the explicit modeling of periodic layers or lattices and the needs for computational efficiency and accurate fitting of experimental data.

description: We have studied the $N^*(1875) (3/2^-)$ resonance with a multichannel unitary scheme, considering the $Δπ$ and $Σ^* K$, with their interaction extracted from chiral Lagrangians, and then have added two more channels, the $N^*(1535) π$ and $N σ$, which proceed via triangle diagrams involving the $Σ^* K$ and $Δπ$ respectively in the intermediate states. The triangle diagram in the $N^*(1535) π$ case develops a singularity at the same energy as the resonance mass. We determine the couplings of the resonance to the different channels and the partial decay widths. We find a very large decay width to $Σ^* K$, and also see that, due to interference with other terms, the $N σ$ channel has an important role in the $ππ$ mass distributions at low invariant masses, leading to an apparently large $N σ$ decay width. A discussion is done, justifying the convenience of an experimental reanalysis of this resonance to the light of the findings of the paper, using multichannel unitary schemes.

Structural Characterization of Human Norovirus Strain VA387 Virus-like Particles

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other biological sciences not elsewhere classified

description: Human noroviruses (HuNoVs) are the leading cause of an acute form of non-bacterial gastroenteritis, where strains belonging to genogroup (G) II are dominant. Upon expression with the baculovirus culture system, virus-like particles (VLPs) of HuNoVs are expected to assemble into T = 3 icosahedral capsid particles resembling the structure of the infectious virion particles. However, some strains were found to assemble into either T = 1 or T = 4 capsids, or a combination of two different capsid forms. In this study, we showed that VLPs of the Virginia 1997 387 (VA387) GII.4 outbreak strain assembled into T = 1, T = 3, and T = 4 capsids upon expression in insect cell culture, the first case for a naturally occurring HuNoV strain to assemble into all three capsid states. TEM analysis revealed that T = 1 icosahedral particles were the most abundant in purified samples, which contrasts previous findings where either T = 3 or T = 4 were the most abundant. We resolved the cryo-EM structures of the T = 1 shell (S) domain, T = 3, and T = 4 particles to 2.24, 2.44, and 3.43 Å, respectively, making them the most resolved norovirus (NoV) structures to date. Single particle cryo-EM 3D analysis showed that the protruding (P) domain of T = 1 and T = 4 VLPs are highly dynamic. Additionally, we showed that T = 3 VLPs are resistant while T = 1 and T = 4 VLPs are sensitive to digestion in the presence of trypsin. This suggested that T = 1 and T = 4 capsids are less stable among the VLPs, which is consistent with the highly dynamic P domain inferred from our cryo-EM 3D analysis. During infection, HuNoVs travel through the gastrointestinal (GI) tract where they encounter a broad range of variable conditions that include pH, ionic strength, and host defenses (e.g., proteases). Our analyses suggest that virions are T = 3 particles as they can survive the GI tract upon exiting the host. We determined the first cryo-EM structure of T = 3 VLPs in complex with the known HuNoV host cell receptor, histo-blood group antigen (HBGA), to a resolution of 2.51 Å, demonstrating that NoV VLPs can serve as a platform in the structural characterization of small ligand molecules. Lastly, we identified a histidine residue retained in the S domain of all identified caliciviruses critical in the assembly of capsids. Our structures and their characterization will contribute to the development of therapeutic agents to combat noroviruses.

Later letters include references to such literary people as Herbert Read, Harold Monro and T.S. Eliot, plus a mention of reading James Joyce's "Ulysses". He also refers to his visit to Africa and his sentiments about the Spanish Civil War and W.W.II. Most of the later letters are signed "Morgan". E. M. Forster was born in London. He is principally known as a novelist and was associated with the Bloomsbury Group, which included Virginia Woolf. Among his best known works are "A Room With A View" (1911) and "A Passage To India" (1924). Many of his novels have been dramatized. He also wrote short stories, drama, non-fiction and criticism. He died at King's College, Cambridge, where he had resided since the mid 1940s. His friend, Sir Alec Randall was with the British legation in Bucharest, Rumania, and was later appointed to serve in Rome. Forster discusses the evening clothes he has packed for Bucharest.
PHENIX measurements of single electrons from charm and bottom decays at midrapidity in Au+Au collisions

description: Heavy quarks (charm and bottom) are a sensitive probe of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) created in high-energy nuclear collisions. The modification of their phase-space in the QGP reflects the physical property of the QGP because they are generated in the early stage of collisions and subsequently propagate through the QGP. PHENIX has published the first measurement of the nuclear modification factors $R_{\rm{AA}}$ of separated charm and bottom hadron decay electrons in minimum bias Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ $=$ 200 GeV using the 2011 data set. In these proceedings, we present $R_{\rm{AA}}({c{\rightarrow}e})$ and $R_{\rm{AA}}({b{\rightarrow}e})$ in most central Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ $=$ 200 GeV using 1/8 of our large 2014-2016 data set.

description: Few-layer black phosphorus possesses unique electronic properties giving rise to distinct quantum phenomena and thus offers a fertile platform to explore the emergent correlation phenomena in low dimensions. A great progress has been demonstrated in improving the quality of hole-doped few-layer black phosphorus and its quantum transport studies, whereas the same achievements are rather modest for electron-doped few-layer black phosphorus. Here, we report the ambipolar quantum transport in few-layer black phosphorus exhibiting undoubtedly the quantum Hall effect for hole transport and showing clear signatures of the quantum Hall effect for electron transport. By bringing the spin-resolved Landau levels of the electron-doped black phosphorus to the coincidence, we measure the spin susceptibility $χ_s=m^\ast g^\ast=1.1\pm0.03$. This value is larger than for hole-doped black phosphorus and illustrates an energetically equidistant arrangement of spin-resolved Landau levels. Evidently, the n-type black phosphorus offers a unique platform with equidistant sequence of spin-up and spin-down states for exploring the quantum spintronic.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence between Sir Herbert Read and Alfred Richard Orage. Orage is most well-known for editing the magazine “The New Age”. These letters, spanning 1921 and 1922, primarily discuss Read’s work as a Readers and Writers columnist for the magazine in that time. In these letters Orage also frequently mentions P. D. Ouspensky, who studied under philosopher G. I. Gurdjieff. In 1922 Orage sold “The New Age” and moved to Paris in order to also study under Gurdjieff. In this letter Orage arranges a meeting with Read and Flint to discuss the T. E. Hulme manuscript.
AutoSVD++: An Efficient Hybrid Collaborative Filtering Model via Contractive Auto-encoders

description: Collaborative filtering (CF) has been successfully used to provide users with personalized products and services. However, dealing with the increasing sparseness of user-item matrix still remains a challenge. To tackle such issue, hybrid CF such as combining with content based filtering and leveraging side information of users and items has been extensively studied to enhance performance. However, most of these approaches depend on hand-crafted feature engineering, which are usually noise-prone and biased by different feature extraction and selection schemes. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid model by generalizing contractive auto-encoder paradigm into matrix factorization framework with good scalability and computational efficiency, which jointly model content information as representations of effectiveness and compactness, and leverage implicit user feedback to make accurate recommendations. Extensive experiments conducted over three large scale real datasets indicate the proposed approach outperforms the compared methods for item recommendation.

description: Based on sub-arcsecond Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and Submillimeter Array (SMA) 1.3 mm continuum images of the massive protocluster NGC 6334I obtained in 2015 and 2008, we find that the dust emission from MM1 has increased by a factor of 4.0$\pm$0.3 during the intervening years, and undergone a significant change in morphology. The continuum emission from the other cluster members (MM2, MM4 and the UCHII region MM3 = NGC 6334F) has remained constant. Long term single-dish maser monitoring at HartRAO finds that multiple maser species toward NGC 6334I flared beginning in early 2015, a few months before our ALMA observation, and some persist in that state. New ALMA images obtained in 2016 July-August at 1.1 and 0.87 mm confirm the changes with respect to SMA 0.87 mm images from 2008, and indicate that the (sub)millimeter flaring has continued for at least a year. The excess continuum emission, centered on the hypercompact HII region MM1B, is extended and elongated ($1.6" \times 1.0" \approx 2100 \times 1300$ au) with multiple peaks, suggestive of general heating of the surrounding subcomponents of MM1, some of which may trace clumps in a fragmented disk rather than separate protostars. In either case, these remarkable increases in maser and dust emission provide direct observational evidence of a sudden accretion event in the growth of a massive protostar yielding a sustained luminosity surge by a factor of $70\pm20$, analogous to the largest events in simulations by Meyer et al. (2017). This target provides an excellent opportunity to assess the impact of such a rare event on a protocluster over many years.

description: We present a study of the trade-off between depth and resolution using a large number of U-band imaging observations in the GOODS-North field (Giavalisco et al. 2004) from the Large Binocular Camera (LBC) on the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). Having acquired over 30 hours of data (315 images with 5-6 mins exposures), we generated multiple image mosaics, starting with the best atmospheric seeing images (FWHM $\lesssim$0.8"), which constitute $\sim$10% of the total data set. For subsequent mosaics, we added in data with larger seeing values until the final, deepest mosaic included all images with FWHM $\lesssim$1.8" ($\sim$94% of the total data set). From the mosaics, we made object catalogs to compare the optimal-resolution, yet shallower image to the lower-resolution but deeper image. We show that the number counts for both images are $\sim$90% complete to $U_{AB}$ $\lesssim26$. Fainter than $U_{AB}$$\sim$ 27, the object counts from the optimal-resolution image start to drop-off dramatically (90% between $U_{AB}$ = 27 and 28 mag), while the deepest image with better surface-brightness sensitivity ($μ^{AB}_{U}$$\lesssim$ 32 mag arcsec$^{-2}$) show a more gradual drop (10% between $U_{AB}$ $\simeq$ 27 and 28 mag). For the brightest galaxies within the GOODS-N field, structure and clumpy features within the galaxies are more prominent in the optimal-resolution image compared to the deeper mosaics. Finally, we find - for 220 brighter galaxies with $U_{AB}$$\lesssim$ 24 mag - only marginal differences in total flux between the optimal-resolution and lower-resolution light-profiles to $μ^{AB}_{U}$$\lesssim$ 32 mag arcsec$^{-2}$. In only 10% of the cases are the total-flux differences larger than 0.5 mag. This helps constrain how much flux can be missed from galaxy outskirts, which is important for studies of the Extragalactic Background Light.

A Possible Time-Delayed Brightening of the Sgr A* Accretion Flow after the Pericenter Passage of G2 Cloud

description: A possibility of time-delayed radio brightenings of Sgr A* triggered by the pericenter passage of the G2 cloud is studied by carrying out global three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations taking into account the radiative cooling of the tidal debris of the G2 cloud. Magnetic fields in the accretion flow are strongly perturbed and re-organized after the passage of G2. We have found that the magnetic energy in the accretion flow increases by a factor 3-4 in 5-10 years after the pericenter passage of G2 by a dynamo mechanism driven by the magneto-rotational instability. Since this B-field amplification enhances the synchrotron emission from the disk and the outflow, the radio and the infrared luminosity of Sgr A* is expected to increase around A.D. 2020. The time-delay of the radio brightening enables us to determine the rotation axis of the preexisting disk.

description: A review of the mechanisms of speciation is performed. The mechanisms of the evolution of species, taking into account the feedback of the state of the environment and mechanisms of the emergence of complexity, are considered. It is shown that these mechanisms, at the molecular level, cannot work steadily in terms of classical mechanics. Quantum mechanisms of changes in the genome, based on the long-range interaction potential between biologically important molecules, are proposed as one of possible explanation. Different variants of interactions of the organism and environment based on molecular recognition and leading to new species origins are considered. Experiments to verify the model are proposed. This bio-physical study is completed by the general operational model of based on quantum information theory. The latter is applied to model epigenetic evolution.

description: Object detection in videos has drawn increasing attention recently with the introduction of the large-scale ImageNet VID dataset. Different from object detection in static images, temporal information in videos is vital for object detection. To fully utilize temporal information, state-of-the-art methods are based on spatiotemporal tubelets, which are essentially sequences of associated bounding boxes across time. However, the existing methods have major limitations in generating tubelets in terms of quality and efficiency. Motion-based methods are able to obtain dense tubelets efficiently, but the lengths are generally only several frames, which is not optimal for incorporating long-term temporal information. Appearance-based methods, usually involving generic object tracking, could generate long tubelets, but are usually computationally expensive. In this work, we propose a framework for object detection in videos, which consists of a novel tubelet proposal network to efficiently generate spatiotemporal proposals, and a Long Short-term Memory (LSTM) network that incorporates temporal information from tubelet proposals for achieving high object detection accuracy in videos. Experiments on the large-scale ImageNet VID dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework for object detection in videos.
