description: Spectroscopic Eclipsing Binaries (SEBs) are fundamental benchmarks in stellar astrophysics and today are observed in breathtaking detail by missions like TESS, Kepler, and APOGEE. We develop a methodology for simultaneous analysis of high precision Kepler light curves and high resolution near-IR spectra from APOGEE and present orbital solutions and evolutionary histories for a subset of SEBs within this overlap. Radial velocities extracted from APOGEE spectra using the Broadening Function technique are combined with Kepler light curves and to yield binary orbital solutions. The Broadening Function approach yields more precise radial velocities than the standard Cross-Correlation Function, which in turn yields more precise orbital parameters and enables the identification of tertiary stars. The orbital periods of these seven SEBs range from 4 to 40 days. Four of the systems (KIC 5285607, KIC 6864859, KIC 6778289, and KIC 4285087) are well-detached binaries. The remaining three systems have apparent tertiary companions, but each exhibits two eclipses along with at least one spectroscopically varying component (KIC 6449358, KIC 6131659, and KIC 6781535). Gaia distances are available for four targets which we use to estimate temperatures of both members of these SEBs. We explore evolutionary histories in H-R diagram space and estimate ages for this subset of our sample. Finally, we consider the implications for the formation pathways of close binary systems via interactions with tertiary companions. Our methodology combined with the era of big data and observation overlap opens up the possibility of discovering and analyzing large numbers of diverse SEBs, including those with high flux ratios and those in triple systems.

description: We develop a framework to examine the extent to which farmers’ risk and time preferences, availability of credit to cover establishment cost, and crop insurance for conventional crops may influence farmers’ decision to allocate land to a perennial energy crop and, therefore, the total costs of meeting a cellulosic biofuel mandate using this crop. We also investigate the cost-effectiveness of two supplementary policies to the mandate: an establishment cost subsidy and subsidized energy crop insurance, which may achieve the targeted level of biomass production more cost-effectively than the mandate alone. We apply this framework to examine the total costs and land requirements of providing biomass for meeting a one-billion-gallon cellulosic biofuel mandate by using miscanthus as a feedstock while accounting for temporal and spatial variability in miscanthus yields relative to those of conventional crops at a county level across the U.S. rainfed region.
A Model For Infall Around Virialized Halos

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Motivated by the recent direct detection of cosmological gas infall, we develop an analytical model for calculating the mean density profile around an initial overdensity that later forms a dark matter halo. We account for the problem of peaks within peaks; when considering a halo of a given mass we ensure that this halo is not a part of a larger virialized halo. For halos that represent high-sigma fluctuations we recover the usual result that such halos preferentially lie within highly overdense regions; in the limit of very low-sigma fluctuations, on the other hand, we show that halos tend to lie within voids. Combined with spherical collapse, our results yield the typical density and velocity profiles of the gas and dark matter that surround virialized halos.

description: Abstract: Rare protein-truncating variants (PTVs) in PALB2 confer increased risk to breast cancer, but relatively few studies have reported the characteristics of tumours with PALB2 PTVs. In this study, we describe molecular characteristics of tumours with either germline or somatic alterations in PALB2. DNA from fresh frozen tumour tissues and matched peripheral blood lymphocytes for 560 breast cancer patients was subjected for whole-exome sequencing (WES), and RNA from tumour tissues was subjected to RNA sequencing (RNA-seq). We found six cases with germline and three with somatic protein-truncating variants in PALB2. The characteristics of tumours in patients with PALB2 PTVs were similar to those with BRCA1 and BRCA2 PTVs, having significantly more somatic alterations, and a high proportion of the mutational signature and genomic scar scores characteristic of deficiencies in homologous recombination (HR), compared to tumours arising in non-carriers. Unlike tumours arising in patients with BRCA1 and BRCA2 PTVs, PALB2 tumours did not have high prevalence of TP53 somatic alterations or an enriched immune microenvironment. In summary, PALB2 tumours show the homologous recombination deficiencies characteristic of BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumours, and highlight the potential clinical relevance of PALB2 mutational status in guiding therapeutic choices.
Formation of 2D single-component correlated electron system and band engineering in the nickelate superconductor NdNiO2

description: Motivated by the recent experimental discovery of superconductivity in the infinite-layer nickelate Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 [Li et al., Nature 572, 624 (2019)], we study how the correlated Ni 3dx2-y2 electrons in the NiO2 layer interact with the electrons in the Nd layer. We show that three orbitals are necessary to represent the electronic structure around the Fermi level: Ni 3dx2-y2, Nd 5d3z2-r2, and a bonding orbital made from an interstitial s orbital in the Nd layer and the Nd 5dxy orbital. By constructing a three-orbital model for these states, we find that the hybridization between the Ni 3dx2-y2 state and the states in the Nd layer is tiny. We also find that the metallic screening by the Nd layer is not so effective in that it reduces the Hubbard U between the Ni 3dx2-y2 electrons just by 10--20 %. On the other hand, the electron-phonon coupling is not strong enough to mediate superconductivity of Tc ~ 10 K. These results indicate that NdNiO2 hosts an almost isolated correlated 3dx2-y2 orbital system. We further study the possibility of realizing a more ideal single-orbital system in the Mott-Hubbard regime. We find that the Fermi pockets formed by the Nd-layer states dramatically shrink when the hybridization between the interstitial s state and Nd 5dxy state becomes small. By an extensive materials search, we find that the Fermi pockets almost disappear in NaNd2NiO4 and NaCa2NiO3.

description: Abstract: Another person’s gaze direction is a rich source of social information, especially eyes gazing toward prominent or relevant objects. To guide attention to these important stimuli, visual search mechanisms may incorporate sophisticated coding of eye-gaze and its spatial relationship to other objects. Alternatively, any guidance might reflect the action of simple perceptual ‘templates’ tuned to visual features of socially relevant objects, or intrinsic salience of direct-gazing eyes for human vision. Previous findings that direct gaze (toward oneself) is prioritised over averted gaze do not distinguish between these accounts. To resolve this issue, we compared search for eyes gazing toward a prominent object versus gazing away, finding more efficient search for eyes ‘gazing toward’ the object. This effect was most clearly seen in target-present trials when gaze was task-relevant. Visual search mechanisms appear to specify gazer-object relations, a computational building-block of theory of mind.

description: This article answers the empirical question: what is the relationship between the choice to specialize or diversify in crop production and household poverty status? We use household panel data from Ethiopia and a recently developed parametric method for estimating dynamic binary response models with endogenous contemporaneous regres- sors. Our results provide evidence that households which grow a diverse set of crops are less likely to be poor. Additionally, crop diversity reduces the probability that a house- hold will fall into poverty and reduces the probability that a household will remain in poverty. We conclude that policies which encourage households to specialize in cash crops may be counter-productive while policies which encourage crop diversification may reduce poverty.

description: Abstract: Starting from the 3-wave interaction equations in 2+1 dimensions (i.e., two space dimensions and one time dimension), we complexify the independent variables, thus doubling the number of real variables, and hence we work in 4+2 dimensions: x1, x2, y1, y2 and t1, t2. In this paper we solve the initial value problem of the 3-wave interaction equations in 4+2 dimensions.

description: Steady state properties in the absorbing phase of the $1d$ pair contact process (PCP) model are investigated. It is shown that, in typical absorbing states (reached by the system's dynamic rules), the density of isolated particles, $ρ_1$, approaches a stationary value which depends on the annihilation probability ($p$); the deviation from its 'natural' value at criticality, $ρ_1^{nat}$, follows a power law: $ρ_1^{nat}-ρ_1 \sim (p-p_c)^{β_1}$ for $p>p_c$. Monte Carlo simulations yield $β_1=0.81$. A cluster approximation is developed for this model, qualitatively confirming the numerical results and predicting $β_1=1$. The singular behavior of the isolated particles density in the inactive phase is explained using a phenomenological approach.

description: We perform a numerical study of a spin-1/2 model with $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry in one dimension which demonstrates an interesting similarity to the physics of two-dimensional deconfined quantum critical points (DQCP). Specifically, we investigate the quantum phase transition between Ising ferromagnetic and valence bond solid (VBS) symmetry-breaking phases. Working directly in the thermodynamic limit using uniform matrix product states, we find evidence for a direct continuous phase transition that lies outside of the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm. In our model, the continuous transition is found everywhere on the phase boundary. We find that the magnetic and VBS correlations show very close power law exponents, which is expected from the self-duality of the parton description of this DQCP. Critical exponents vary continuously along the phase boundary in a manner consistent with the predictions of the field theory for this transition. We also find a regime where the phase boundary splits, as suggested by the theory, introducing an intermediate phase of coexisting ferromagnetic and VBS order parameters. Interestingly, we discover a transition involving this coexistence phase which is similar to the DQCP, being also disallowed by Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson symmetry-breaking theory.

A new approach to strongly correlated fermion systems: the spin-particle-hole coherent-state path integral
Creators: name: Dupuis, N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: We describe a new path integral approach to strongly correlated fermion systems, considering the Hubbard model as a specific example. Our approach is based on the introduction of spin-particle-hole coherent states which generalize the spin-1/2 coherent states by allowing the creation of a hole or an additional particle. The action of the fermion system $S[γ^*,γ;{\bfΩ}]$ can be expressed as a function of two Grassmann variables ($γ_\uparrow$,$γ_\downarrow$) describing particles propagating in the lower and upper Hubbard bands, and a unit vector field ${\bfΩ}$ whose dynamics arises from spin fluctuations. In the strong correlation limit, $S[γ^*,γ;{\bfΩ}]$ can be truncated to quartic order in the fermionic fields and used as the starting point of a strong-coupling diagrammatic expansion in $t/U$ ($t$ being the intersite hopping amplitude and $U$ the on-site Coulomb repulsion). We discuss possible applications of this formalism and its connection to the t-J model and the spin-fermion model.

description: We investigate the sources of variance in crop output and measure their relative im- portance in the context of weather index insurance for smallholder farmers. We use parcel-level panel data from South Asia and a multilevel modeling approach to isolate the different sources of variance. We then measure how large a role weather plays in explaining variance in yields. Using Bayesian methods, we draw the underlying distri- bution of the random error term responsible for weather uncertainty, which is highly skewed and non-normal. We find that variance in weather accounts for a small but important fraction of total variance in crop output. We also derive pricing and payout schedules for actuarially fair weather index insurance. Our results shed light on the low uptake rates of index insurance in South Asia and provide direction for designing index insurance with less basis risk for farmers.

description: Inspirational quotes from famous individuals are often used to convey thoughts in news articles, essays, and everyday conversations. In this paper, we propose a novel context-based quote extraction system that aims to extract the most relevant quote from a long text. We formulate this quote extraction as an open domain question answering problem first by employing a vector-store based retriever and then applying a multi-task reader. We curate three context-based quote extraction datasets and introduce a novel multi-task framework RA-MTR that improves the state-of-the-art performance, achieving a maximum improvement of 5.08% in BoW F1-score.

Due to the Kondo scattering off the effective spin on a side-connected quantum dot the conductance is suppressed at low temperatures and at low source-drain bias voltages. This zero-bias anomaly is understood as enhanced Kondo scattering with decreasing temperature.

description: Abstract: Background: The binding of transcription factors (TF) to genomic targets is critical in the regulation of gene expression. Short, double-stranded DNA sequence motifs are routinely implicated in TF recruitment, but many questions remain on how binding site specificity is governed. Results: Herein, we reveal a previously unappreciated role for DNA secondary structures as key features for TF recruitment. In a systematic, genome-wide study, we discover that endogenous G-quadruplex secondary structures (G4s) are prevalent TF binding sites in human chromatin. Certain TFs bind G4s with affinities comparable to double-stranded DNA targets. We demonstrate that, in a chromatin context, this binding interaction is competed out with a small molecule. Notably, endogenous G4s are prominent binding sites for a large number of TFs, particularly at promoters of highly expressed genes. Conclusions: Our results reveal a novel non-canonical mechanism for TF binding whereby G4s operate as common binding hubs for many different TFs to promote increased transcription.

description: This study adopted the economic surplus model to evaluate the impact of the biological control program (BC), implemented by the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (icipe), on cereal crops production in Kenya, Mozambique and Zambia. The BC was implemented in East and Southern Africa between 1993 and 2008, with the aim of helping small scale farmers to reduce cereal yield losses due to stem-borers and improve their well-being. Findings show that BC-intervention substantially contributes to consumer and producer welfare in the three countries. The net present value of $US 271.76 million, the attractive Internal Rate of Return of 67%, as well as the estimated Benefit Cost Ration of 33.47, imply the efficiency of investment in BC-program. Moreover, 0.35%, 0.25% and 0.20% of poor are yearly lifted out of poverty respectively in Kenya, Mozambique and Zambia. These findings underscore the need for increased investment in BC in the sub-region.

description: The long-term evolution of massive black hole binaries at the centers of galaxies is studied in a variety of physical regimes, with the aim of resolving the ``final parsec problem,'' i.e., how black hole binaries manage to shrink to separations at which emission of gravity waves becomes efficient. A binary ejects stars by the gravitational slingshot and carves out a loss cone in the host galaxy. Continued decay of the binary requires a refilling of the loss cone. We show that the standard treatment of loss cone refilling, derived for collisionally relaxed systems like globular clusters, can substantially underestimate the refilling rates in galactic nuclei. We derive expressions for non-equilibrium loss-cone dynamics and calculate time scales for the decay of massive black hole binaries following galaxy mergers, obtaining significantly higher decay rates than heretofore. Even in the absence of two-body relaxation, decay of binaries can persist due to repeated ejection of stars returning to the nucleus on eccentric orbits. We show that this recycling of stars leads to a gradual, approximately logarithmic dependence of the binary binding energy on time. We derive an expression for the loss cone refilling induced by the Brownian motion of a black hole binary. We also show that numerical N-body experiments are not well suited to probe these mechanisms over long times due to spurious relaxation.

description: Real-time scene parsing is a fundamental feature for autonomous driving vehicles with multiple cameras. In this letter we demonstrate that sharing semantics between cameras with different perspectives and overlapped views can boost the parsing performance when compared with traditional methods, which individually process the frames from each camera. Our framework is based on a deep neural network for semantic segmentation but with two kinds of additional modules for sharing and fusing semantics. On the one hand, a semantics sharing module is designed to establish the pixel-wise mapping between the input images. Features as well as semantics are shared by the map to reduce duplicated workload which leads to more efficient computation. On the other hand, feature fusion modules are designed to combine different modal of semantic features, which leverage the information from both inputs for better accuracy. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we have applied our network to a dual-camera vision system for driving scene parsing. Experimental results show that our network outperforms the baseline method on the parsing accuracy with comparable computations.

description: The leading-log order QCD hard scattering Monte-Carlo models of HERWIG, ISAJET, and PYTHIA are used to study the sources of b-quarks at the Tevatron. The reactions responsible for producing b and bbar quarks are separated into three categories; flavor creation, flavor excitation, and parton-shower/fragmentation. Flavor creation corresponds to the production of a b-bbar pair by gluon fusion or by annihilation of light quarks, while flavor excitation corresponds to a b or bbar quark being knocked out of the initial-state by a gluon or a light quark or antiquark. The third source occurs when a b-bbar pair is produced within a parton shower or during the fragmentation process of a gluon or a light quark or antiquark (includes gluon splitting). The QCD Monte-Carlo models indicate that all three sources of b-quarks are important at the Tevatron and when combined they qualitatively describe the inclusive cross-section data. Correlations between the b and bbar quark are very different for the three sources and can be used to isolate the individual contributions.

Velocity Correlations, Diffusion and Stochasticity in a One-Dimensional System

description: We consider the motion of a test particle in a one-dimensional system of equal-mass point particles. The test particle plays the role of a microscopic "piston" that separates two hard-point gases with different concentrations and arbitrary initial velocity distributions. In the homogeneous case when the gases on either side of the piston are in the same macroscopic state, we compute and analyze the stationary velocity autocorrelation function C(t). Explicit expressions are obtained for certain typical velocity distributions, serving to elucidate in particular the asymptotic behavior of C(t). It is shown that the occurrence of a non-vanishing probability mass at zero velocity is necessary for the occurrence of a long-time tail in C(t). The conditions under which this is a $t^{-3}$ tail are determined. Turning to the inhomogeneous system with different macroscopic states on either side of the piston, we determine its effective diffusion coefficient from the asymptotic behavior of the variance of its position, as well as the leading behavior of the other moments about the mean. Finally, we present an interpretation of the effective noise arising from the dynamics of the two gases, and thence that of the stochastic process to which the position of any particle in the system reduces in the thermodynamic limit.

description: A new electromagnetic plasma mode has been discovered in the hybrid system formed by a highly conductive gate strip placed in proximity to the two-dimensional electron system. The new plasmon mode propagates along the gate strip with no potential nodes present in transverse direction. Its unique spectrum combines characteristic features of both gated and ungated 2D plasmons. The new plasma excitation has been found to exhibit anomalously strong interaction with light.

description: Objective: To assess urinary tract function and complications in a regional prevalence group of patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI), and to estimate risk factors for recurring complications. Materials and methods: A total of 412 patients who attended a yearly check-up at the Spinalis SCI clinic were included. A regional follow-up programme for neurogenic bladder dysfunction was applied, including S-creatinine and S-cystatin-C, urine culture, residual urine, ultrasound of kidneys, urodynamic studies, and a questionnaire regarding complications during the preceding year. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used to estimate risk factors. Results: All patients completed blood tests and the questionnaire. A urine culture was completed by 96%, ultrasound by 88%, residual urine by 75%, urodynamics by 51%, and all parts of the study by 47%. One quarter of patients displayed pathological findings regarding kidney function. Urodynamics verified neurogenic overactive bladder in a majority, and a high proportion with intravesical filling pressures above 40 cm H2O, a commonly used cut-off level for kidney safety. Subjectively, 47% of patients reported complications during the past year with urinary tract infection (UTI) as the most common one. Other complications were rare. Conclusions: With the aid of a regular follow-up programme, SCI patients can achieve a relatively stable situation regarding urinary tract function. UTI is the most common complication. Indicators of renal complications are frequent but not clearly related to the number of UTIs, nor to intravesical filling pressures. Main risk factors for complications are cervical levels and more complete neurological lesions.
