Nucleon Form Factors in the Covariant Diquark-Quark Model

description: The nucleon is described as a bound state of a quark and an extended diquark. Hereby the notion ``diquark'' refers to the modelling of separable correlations in the two-quark Green's functions. Binding of quarks and diquarks takes place via an exchange interaction and is therefore related to the Pauli principle for three-quark states. Fully Poincare covariant nucleon amplitudes are calculated for free constituent propagators as well as for dressed propagators which parameterise confinement. The corresponding results for space-like form factors differ quantitatively but not qualitatively for various ansätze for the propagators. These results do not allow to draw definite conclusions on the permissibility of different dressing functions. Results for kaon photoproduction, on the other hand, exclude a whole class of constituent propagators.

description: Additional file 2. Fig. S2: Clinical course of a representative case treated with docetaxel, abiraterone, and cabazitaxel. A 54-year-old man was referred for a prostate biopsy due to a high PSA level. Prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 4 + 4 + = 8 was diagnosed by prostate biopsy. Imaging studies showed bone and multiple lymph node metastases. After treatment with CAB, including bicalutamide and flutamide, he developed CRPC and was treated with docetaxel. However, the patient had side effects from docetaxel and was switched to abiraterone. Due to PSA rising on abiraterone, he was switched to cabazitaxel, and PSA has been slowly declining since then. During the disease course, lymph node metastases continued to shrink, and bone metastases did not worsen on imaging.

description: In organic photovoltaic (OPV) systems, exciton dissociation and ultrafast charge separation at donor-acceptor heterojunctions both play a key role in controlling the efficiency of the conversion of excitation energy into free charge carriers. In this work, nonadiabatic dynamics simulations based on the quantum-classical Liouville equation, are employed to study the real-time dynamics of exciton dissociation and charge separation at a model donor-acceptor interface. Benchmark comparisons for a variety of low dimensional donor-acceptor chain models are performed to assess the accuracy of the quantum classical dynamics technique referred to as the forward-backward trajectory solution (FBTS). Although not always quantitative, the FBTS approach offers a reasonable balance between accuracy and computational cost. The short-time dynamics of exciton dissociation in related higher-dimensional lattice models for the interface are also investigated to assess the effect of the dimensionality on the first steps in the mechanism of charge carrier generation.

On the Orthogonality of Independently Propagating States as Occurring in the Lee-Oehme-Yang Theory

description: We generalize a theorem by Khalfin, originally derived for the states $| F_1 > = | M^0>$, $| F_2 > = |\bar M^0>$, where $M^0$ is a neutral flavoured meson (e.g., $K^0$ or $B_d^0$), by assuming CPT invariance. Dispensing with CPT invariance and allowing for an arbitrary pair of orthogonal states $| F_{1,2}>$, we show that any linear combinations $| P_a > = p_a | F_1 > + q_a | F_2>$ and $| P_b > = p_b | F_1 > - q_b | F_2>$, if postulated to be independently propagating in time, as in the Lee--Oehme--Yang Theory, must be mutually orthogonal. This implies a reciprocity relation: equality of the probabilities of the transitions $| F_1 > \leftrightarrow | F_2>$. Also implied is another relation involving the coefficients $p_{a,b}$, $q_{a,b}$, which can be interpreted as $\mathrm{Im} θ= 0$, where $θ$ is the rephasing-invariant parameter describing CPT violation in $M^0 \bar M^0$ mixing for Khalfin's choice of $| F_{1,2}>$. The states $| F_{1,2}>$ of \emph{our} theorem need not form a particle-antiparticle pair, nor even be restricted to particle physics.

SPRING: A Sparsity-Aware Reduced-Precision Monolithic 3D CNN Accelerator Architecture for Training and Inference

description: CNNs outperform traditional machine learning algorithms across a wide range of applications. However, their computational complexity makes it necessary to design efficient hardware accelerators. Most CNN accelerators focus on exploring dataflow styles that exploit computational parallelism. However, potential performance speedup from sparsity has not been adequately addressed. The computation and memory footprint of CNNs can be significantly reduced if sparsity is exploited in network evaluations. To take advantage of sparsity, some accelerator designs explore sparsity encoding and evaluation on CNN accelerators. However, sparsity encoding is just performed on activation or weight and only in inference. It has been shown that activation and weight also have high sparsity levels during training. Hence, sparsity-aware computation should also be considered in training. To further improve performance and energy efficiency, some accelerators evaluate CNNs with limited precision. However, this is limited to the inference since reduced precision sacrifices network accuracy if used in training. In addition, CNN evaluation is usually memory-intensive, especially in training. In this paper, we propose SPRING, a SParsity-aware Reduced-precision Monolithic 3D CNN accelerator for trainING and inference. SPRING supports both CNN training and inference. It uses a binary mask scheme to encode sparsities in activation and weight. It uses the stochastic rounding algorithm to train CNNs with reduced precision without accuracy loss. To alleviate the memory bottleneck in CNN evaluation, especially in training, SPRING uses an efficient monolithic 3D NVM interface to increase memory bandwidth. Compared to GTX 1080 Ti, SPRING achieves 15.6X, 4.2X and 66.0X improvements in performance, power reduction, and energy efficiency, respectively, for CNN training, and 15.5X, 4.5X and 69.1X improvements for inference.

Light scattering by optically anisotropic scatterers I: T--matrix theory for radial and uniform anisotropies

description: We extend the T-matrix approach to light scattering by spherical particles to some simple cases in which the scatterers are optically anisotropic. Specifically we consider cases in which the spherical particles include radially and uniformly anisotropic layers. We find that in both cases the T-matrix theory can be formulated using a modified T-matrix ansatz with suitably defined modes. In a uniformly anisotropic medium we derive these modes by relating the wave packet representation and expansions of electromagnetic field over spherical harmonics. The resulting wave functions are deformed spherical harmonics that represent solutions of the Maxwell equations. We use these modes to express the equations for the T-matrix elements in terms of computationally tractable coefficient functions.

description: Lattices of compatibly embedded finite fields are useful in computer algebra systems for managing many extensions of a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ at once. They can also be used to represent the algebraic closure $\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p$, and to represent all finite fields in a standard manner. The most well known constructions are Conway polynomials, and the Bosma-Cannon-Steel framework used in Magma. In this work, leveraging the theory of the Lenstra-Allombert isomorphism algorithm, we generalize both at the same time. Compared to Conway polynomials, our construction defines a much larger set of field extensions from a small pre-computed table; however it is provably as inefficient as Conway polynomials if one wants to represent all field extensions, and thus yields no asymptotic improvement for representing $\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p$. Compared to Bosma-Cannon-Steel lattices, it is considerably more efficient both in computation time and storage: all algorithms have at worst quadratic complexity, and storage is linear in the number of represented field extensions and their degrees. Our implementation written in C/Flint/Julia/Nemo shows that our construction in indeed practical.

description: Menispermi Rhizoma is the dried rhizome of Menispermum dauricum DC. (Menispermaceae), which commonly used to treat sore throat, enteritis, and dysentery in traditional Chinese medicine. To clarify the chemical basis of the total alkaloids of M. Rhizoma, HPLC was used to analyze total alkaloids, and then representative chemical constituents were separated by tracking. Nineteen compounds, including two new alkaloids (1R-methymenidaurine A-α-N-oxide (1) and 1R-7’-hydroxymethyl-menidaurine A (2)), thirteen known alkaloids, and four known flavonoids were isolated and identified using spectroscopic methods. Meanwhile, seven characteristic peaks were identified from the total alkaloids using HPLC analysis. Furthermore, compounds 1–18 were screened in vitro for their inhibitory effect against nitric oxide production in BV-2 microglia cells stimulated by lipopolysaccharide. Among them, six compounds showed weak inhibition, and the IC50 values of compounds 1 and 2 were 56.87 ± 1.61 and 53.67 ± 1.52 mM, respectively.

description: Chondral knee defects have a limited ability to be repaired. Current surgical interventions have been unable to regenerate articular cartilage with the mechanical properties of native hyaline cartilage. The use of a scaffold-based approach is a potential solution. Scaffolds are often implanted with cells to stimulate cartilage regeneration, but cell-based therapies are associated with additional regulatory restrictions, an additional surgical procedure for cell harvest, time for cell expansion, and the associated costs. To overcome these disadvantages, cell-free scaffolds can be used in isolation allowing native cells to attach over time. This review discusses the optimal properties of scaffolds used for chondral defects, and the evidence for the use of hydrogel scaffolds and hydrogel−synthetic polymer hybrid scaffolds. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that cell-free scaffolds can support articular cartilage regeneration and have the potential to treat chondral defects. However, there are very few studies in this area and, despite the many biomaterials tested in cell-based scaffolds, most cell-free studies focused on a specific type I collagen scaffold. Future studies on cell-free scaffolds should adopt the modifications made to cell-based scaffolds and replicate them in the clinical setting. More studies are also needed to understand the underlying mechanism of cell-free scaffolds.

description: Several methods are available to compute the anharmonicity in semi-rigid molecules. However, such methods are not routinely employed yet because of their large computational cost, especially for large molecules. The potential energy surface is required and generally approximated by a quartic force field potential based on ab initio calculation, thus limiting this approach to medium-sized molecules. We developed a new, fast and accurate hybrid Quantum Mechanic/Machine learning (QM//ML) approach to reduce the computational time for large systems. With this novel approach, we evaluated anharmonic frequencies of 37 molecules thus covering a broad range of vibrational modes and chemical environments. The obtained fundamental frequencies reproduce results obtained using B2PLYP/def2tzvpp with a root-mean-square deviation (RMSD) of 21 cm-1 and experimental results with a RMSD of 23 cm-1. Along with this very good accuracy, the computational time with our hybrid QM//ML approach scales linearly with N while the traditional full ab initio method scales as N2, where N is the number of atoms.

description: Genome-wide association studies have revealed a locus at 8p12 that is associated with breast cancer risk. Fine-mapping of this locus identified 16 candidate causal variants (CCVs). However, as these variants are intergenic, their function is unclear. To map chromatin looping from this risk locus to a previously identified candidate target gene, DUSP4, we performed chromatin conformation capture analyses in normal and tumoural breast cell lines. We identified putative regulatory elements, containing CCVs, which looped to the DUSP4 promoter region. Using reporter gene assays, we found that the risk allele of CCV rs7461885 reduced the activity of a DUSP4 enhancer element, consistent with the function of DUSP4 as a tumour suppressor gene. Furthermore, the risk allele of CCV rs12155535, located in another DUSP4 enhancer element, was negatively correlated with looping of this element to the DUSP4 promoter region, suggesting that this allele would be associated with reduced expression. These findings provide the first evidence that CCV risk alleles downregulate DUSP4 expression, suggesting that this gene is a regulatory target of the 8p12 breast cancer risk locus.

description: We determine, in the context of five-dimensional ${\cal N}=2$ gauged supergravity with vector and hypermultiplets, the conditions under which curved (non Ricci flat) supersymmetric domain wall solutions may exist. These curved BPS domain wall solutions may, in general, be supported by non-constant vector and hyper scalar fields. We establish our results by a careful analysis of the BPS equations as well as of the associated integrability conditions and the equations of motion. We construct an example of a curved BPS solution in a gauged supergravity model with one hypermultiplet. We also discuss the dual description of curved BPS domain walls in terms of RG flows.

Our solution is a magnetic monopole string with finite energy, and length equal to the size of the extra dimension.

description: The demand for sensors in response to oxygen partial pressure in air is increasingly high in recent years and small-size sensors on a micrometer scale and even a nanometer scale are particularly desirable. In this paper, the sensing of oxygen partial pressure in air was realized by a solution-processed ZnO nanoparticle (NP). Thin-film ZnO NP was prepared by spin-coating and a highly sensitive sensor was then fabricated. The oxygen sensing performance was characterized in air and compared with that in nitrogen, which showed an increase in electrical conductance by more than 100 times as a result of decreasing oxygen partial pressure from 103 mBar to 10−5 mBar. Moreover, higher sensitivity was achieved by increasing the annealing temperature and the effect of thermal annealing was also investigated. Furthermore, ZnO NP lines with 7 μm in width were successfully patterned with low cost by a mould-guided drying technique from ZnO NP dispersion, which makes ZnO NP extremely promising for miniaturized and integrated sensing applications.
Dirac equation on a G_2 manifold

description: We find a large family of solutions to the Dirac equation on a manifold of $G_2$ holonomy asymptotic to a cone over $S^3 \times S^3$, including all radial solutions. The behaviour of these solutions is studied as the manifold developes a conical singularity. None of the solutions found are both localised and square integrable at the origin. This result is consistent with the absence of chiral fermions in M-theory on the conifold over $S^3\times S^3$. The approach here is complementary to previous analyses using dualities and anomaly cancellation.

description: An anisotropic quantum vacuum (AQV) has been predicted to induce quantum interferences during the spontaneous emission process in an atomic $V$-transition [G. S. Agarwal, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 5500 (2000)]. Nevertheless, the finite lifetime of the excited states is expected to strongly limit the observability of this phenomenon. In this paper, we predict that an AQV can induce a long-lifetime coherence in an atomic $Λ$-transition from the process of spontaneous emission, which has an additional advantage of removing the need for coherent laser excitation. We also carry out two metasurface designs and compare their respective efficiencies for creating an AQV over remote distances. The detection of this coherence induced by a metasurface, in addition to being yet another vindication of quantum electrodynamics, could pave the way towards the remote distance control of coherent coupling between quantum emitters, which is a key requirement to produce entanglement in quantum technology applications.

Advances in the Characterization, Modeling and Simulation of Materials Subjected to High Strain Rates

description: Abstract: The aim of the research reported here was to investigate the strain rate and temperature sensitivity of Rowanex 1100 Type 1A, a polymer-bonded explosive (PBX). The stress supported by this PBX at high rates of deformation (1750 ± 225 s−1) was found to be about an order of magnitude greater than that supported at low rates (0.015 s−1). Temperature was also found to have a large effect, with the strength of the material decreasing exponentially with temperature over the range studied (–60 to +60 °C). The exponents for the decay of the PBX’s strength with temperature at both low and high strain rates were the same within experimental error. So a temperature/strain rate shift factor could be determined and was found to be 31.2 ± 2.4 K/decade of strain rate.

description: Price expectation plays an indispensable role in production, marketing and the agricultural technology adoption decisions of farmers. Using household survey data, this paper analyses the price expectations of farmers growing cereals and horse beans in Ethiopia. Our findings show that current and past output prices in local markets, central wholesale prices and seasonal rainfall are strongly correlated with smallholders’ price expectations. Reliable information on these variables assists farmers to form better price expectations, thereby improving their production decisions. This supports the recent developments in using information and communication technologies (ICTs) and market information systems (MIS) to convey market and weather information to farmers.

description: The condensation heat transfer coefficient of the multi-channel dryer, one of the key component of paper-making machine, directly determines the efficiency of heat energy utilization. However, the prediction of condensation heat transfer coefficient remains a challenge because the heat transfer characteristics in multi-channel dryer is a complex fundamental issue involving the thermal behavior of two-phase fluid systems. Herein, we successfully developed the four supervised machine learning models to predict the heat transfer coefficient of a multi-channel cylinder dryer under different working conditions. The multi-channel cylinder dryer experiments under different steam mass flux and cooling water mass flow rates were performed and the measured data is used as the input data for training. Interestingly, the four trained Bayesian-optimized machine models present the excellent capability of prediction for condensation heat transfer coefficient of multi-channel cylinder dryer, where the values of R2 for tested Bayesian-optimized-based SVR, ANN, linear SVR, and RF are 0.983, 0.997, 0.996, and 0.953, respectively. In addition, the feature importance of descriptors is quantified based on a random forest algorithm. Our study suggests that machine learning models can effectively predict the condensate heat transfer coefficient of two-phase fluid systems, which not only would be beneficial to optimizing the structures and operation parameters of multi-channel cylinder dryer in the industry but to develop a reasonable correlation of heat transfer coefficient in fundamental research.

description: We consider $B_s \to μ^+ μ^-$ and the muon $(g-2)_μ$ in various SUSY breaking mediation mechanisms. If the decay $B_s \to μ^+ μ^-$ is observed at Tevatron Run II with a branching ratio larger than $\sim 2 \times 10^{-8} $, the noscale supergravity (including the gaugino mediation), the gauge mediation scenario with small number of messenger fields and low messenger scale, and a class of anomaly mediation scenarios will be excluded, even if they can accommodate a large muon $(g-2)_μ$. On the other hand, the minimal supergravity scenario and similar mechanisms derived from string models can accommodate this observation.

Approximately125 million high-quality reads were assembled using the trinity denovo assembly pipeline and after filtering 76,152 transcripts were used for the differential gene expression study.
Bent BPS domain walls of D=5 N=2 gauged supergravity coupled to hypermultiplets

description: Within D=5 N=2 gauged supergravity coupled to hypermultiplets we derive consistency conditions for BPS domain walls with constant negative curvature on the wall. For such wall solutions to exist, the covariant derivative of the projector, governing the constraint on the Killing spinor, has to be non-zero and proportional to the cosmological constant on the domain walls. We also prove that in this case solutions of the Killing spinor equations are solutions of the equations of motion. We present explicit, analytically solved examples of such domain walls, employing the universal hypermultiplet fields. These examples involve the running of two scalar fields and the space-time in the transverse direction that is cut off at a critical distance, governed by the magnitude of the negative cosmological constant on the wall.

description: Farmer-induced collective action (co-operatives) or buyer-driven contracts are often in place in global agrifood chains. Their economic contribution is well recognised, although the exclusion of smallholders remains. This paper pays particular attention to the impact of co-operatives and contracts on dairy production and the income of dairy farmers in the local food chains in Northern Ethiopia. A structured survey of 415 dairy farmers was undertaken in four districts of Northern Ethiopia. Propensity score matching, regression on observables and regression on propensity scores were implemented to control selection bias. Both models yielded consistent treatment effect estimates, implying that milk production, cow productivity and household income for the members of co-operatives are larger in contrast to dairy farmers employing the spot market. We suggest that strengthening co-operatives may enhance and upgrade the dairy sector/chain, improve the livelihoods of smallholders, and facilitate the link to global food chains.
Light scattering by optically anisotropic scatterers II: T--matrix computations for radially and uniformly anisotropic droplets

description: This is the second paper in a series on light scattering from optically anisotropic scatterers embedded in an isotropic medium. The apparently complex T-matrix theory involving mixing of angular momentum components turns out to be an efficient approach to calculating scattering in these systems. We present preliminary results of numerical calculations of the scattering by spherical droplets in some simple cases. The droplets contain optically anisotropic material with local radial or uniform anisotropy. We concentrate on cases in which the scattering is due only to the local optical anisotropy within the scatterer. For radial anisotropy we find non-monotonic dependence of the scattering cross-section on the degree of anisotropy can occur in a regime for which both the Rayleigh and semi-classical theories are inapplicable. For uniform anisotropy the cross-section is strongly dependent on the angle between the incident light and the optical axis, and for larger droplets this dependence is non-monotonic.

description: A complex structural, magnetic and electric transport investigation shows that the Cr doping on Mn sites in the A-type antiferromagnet Pr0.44Sr0.56MnO3 provokes a non-uniform magnetic state with coexisting FM and AFM regions. Irrespective of the ratio of magnetic phases, the samples exhibit a non-metallic behavior of resistivity and thermopower, pointing to the nanoscopic nature of the phase separation. A particularly large magnetoresistance encountered in a broad range of temperatures for samples with Cr doping of 4 - 6 % supports such idea.

description: This paper examines the relative financial strength and endurance of several paired classes of farmers according to business maturity (beginning versus mature farm businesses), farm operators’ age and experience (young versus older, more experienced farm operators), and farm size (small versus large farm businesses) by utilizing transition probability approach. Results show that the financial stress resulting from the late 2000s recession did not significantly influence the financial vitality of farms in general, regardless of the farm types. The financial strength of small farms, young farm operators, and beginning farms during the recessionary period remained at favorable levels, although their performances were lower to their counterparts.

description: We consider transverse momentum distributions in B-decays. The O(alpha_S) coefficients for soft and collinear logarithms are computed to next-to-leading accuracy. Resummation of large logarithmic contributions is performed in impact parameter space within the general formalism for transverese momentum distributions. It is shown that the shape-function approach as used for the threshold distribution case cannot be extended to the transverse momentum one.

Torsion and anomalies in the warped limit of Lifschitz theories

description: We describe the physics of fermionic Lifschitz theories once the anisotropicscaling exponent is made arbitrarily small. In this limit the system acquires an enhanced(Carrollian) boost symmetry. We show, both through the explicit computation of the pathintegral Jacobian and through the solution of the Wess-Zumino consistency conditions, thatthe translation symmetry in the anisotropic direction becomes anomalous. This turns outto be a mixed anomaly between boosts and translations. In a Newton-Cartan formulationof the space-time geometry such anomaly is sourced by torsion. We use these results togive an effective field theory description of the anomalous transport coefficients, which wereoriginally computed through Kubo formulas in [1]. Along the way we provide a link withwarped CFTs.

Advances in the Characterization, Modeling and Simulation of Materials Subjected to High Strain Rates

description: Abstract: Tissues of the upper airways of critically ill patients are particularly vulnerable to mechanical damage associated with the use of ventilators. Ventilation is known to disrupt the structural integrity of respiratory tissues and their function. This damage contributes to the vulnerability of these tissues to infection. We are currently developing tissue models of damage and infection to the upper airways. As part of our studies, we have compared how tissue storage conditions affect mechanical properties of excised respiratory tissues using a quasi-static platform. Data presented here show considerable differences in mechanical responses of stored specimens compared to freshly excised specimens. These data indicate that implementation of storage and maintenance procedures that minimize rapid degradation of tissue structure are essential for retaining the material properties in our tissue trauma models.
The History of Us
Creators: name: Kaylor, Marley
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: "The History of Us" is an original, creative work of nonfiction. The work is seven chapters that explore the relationships I have been involved in throughout my life. Five of the chapters investigate my relationship with friends and family members and how they evolved and in some cases, ended. The other two chapters deal with my relationship to the places that have defined who I am today; the different houses I've lived in and the swimming pools I've trained and competed in. The writing of this piece was sometimes difficult, but ultimately cathartic. I learned about myself: how I have changed through different periods in my life and how the different relationships in my life have made me, me.
