description: The modulation of aggregation behaviour of ionic liquids (ILs) in aqueous media is one of the important research topics. In the present work, aggregation behaviour of 1-dodecyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C12mim]Br) modulated by beta-cyclodextrin (β-CD) has been investigated by using conductivity, volume, fluorescence, dynamic light scattering and transmission electron microscopy techniques. The results suggested that the addition of β-CD significantly affects the aggregation of [C12mim]Br in aqueous solutions. For example, the apparent critical micelle concentration increases with the increase of β-CD concentration; the average micellar size reduced with the increasing concentration of β-CD, and the process for micelle formation of [C12mim]Br in aqueous β-CD solution is driven by entropy at lower temperature, while driven by enthalpy at higher temperature. It is expected that findings in this study would shed light on the potential applications of IL in supramolecular chemistry.

description: By using numerical and semiclassical methods, we evaluate the quantum breaking, or Ehrenfest time for a wave packet localized around classical equilibrium points of autonomous one-dimensional systems with polynomial potentials. We find that the Ehrenfest time diverges logarithmically with the inverse of the Planck constant whenever the equilibrium point is exponentially unstable. For stable equilibrium points, we have a power law divergence with exponent determined by the degree of the potential near the equilibrium point.

description: With the appearance of “wellbeing stagnation”, the Chinese government has gradually realized the negative impact of increasingly severe environmental problem on people’s wellbeing, and has then has formulated a series of environmental policies. Based on the balanced panel data from2014 to 2018 from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS)and by means of the fixed effects model, we analyze the relationships between heterogeneous environmental regulations (ERs) and subjective wellbeing (SWB) from the perspective of diligent governance. Our results show that command-control environmental regulation (CER) and voluntary environmental regulation (VER)have positive effects on SWB, but there existthe heterogeneity effects in the links between ERs and SWB. Vulnerable populations, including those with rural hukou, less educated, have paidmore attention to VER, whereas the view of other groups is the opposite. Similarly, the people with low incomes or living in economically underdeveloped areas or western region, are sensitive to VER, while the others only pay attention to CER.The SWB of those with better health can be enhanced by CER, and the SWB of those with poor health are unaffected by CER and VER.Further channel analysis illustrates that CER can improve SWB by increasing people’s evaluation of the government, while VER cannot. Our results imply that the people would place more weight on environmental governance as their income rises, and can help the government institute more flexible environmental policies to improve people’s wellbeing.

Varying the explanatory span: scientific explanation for computer simulations

Subjects: subject: Other Computer Science (cs.OH)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This article aims to develop a new account of scientific explanation for computer simulations. To this end, two questions are answered: what is the explanatory relation for computer simulations? and what kind of epistemic gain should be expected? For several reasons tailored to the benefits and needs of computer simulations, these questions are better answered within the unificationist model of scientific explanation. Unlike previous efforts in the literature, I submit that the explanatory relation is between the simulation model and the results of the simulation. I also argue that our epistemic gain goes beyond the unificationist account, encompassing a practical dimension as well.

description: A mass scale $μ_c$ representing the boundary between effective theories of strong interactions and perturbative QCD (infrared and ultraviolet regimes) exists when the $β$-function is characterized by a simple pole. This behaviour, which is known to occur in N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories, leads to an infrared attractor in the evolution of the coupling constant, with the mass scale $μ_c$ of the attractor providing a natural boundary between the infrared and ultraviolet regimes. It is demonstrated that [2|2], [3|1] and [1|3] Pade-approximant versions of the three-flavour QCD $β$-function each contain a simple pole corresponding to such an infrared attractor. All three approximants, separately considered, are seen to lead to nearly equivalent estimates for the mass scale $μ_c$.

description: Abstract: Background: In an effort to complement the current chemotherapy based schistosomiasis control interventions in Shinyanga district, community knowledge, perceptions and water contact practices were qualitatively assessed using focus group discussions and semi structured interviews involving 271 participants in one S. haematobium prevalent community of Ikingwamanoti village, Shinyanga district, Northwestern, Tanzania. Methods: In October, 2016 we conducted 29 parent semi structured interviews and 16 focus group discussions with a total of 168 parent informants. Adult participants were conveniently selected from three sub-villages of Butini, Miyu, and Bomani of Ikingwamanoti village, Shinyanga district. In March, 2017, a total of 103 children informants participated in 10 focus group discussions and 20 semi structured interviews, administered to children from standard four, five, six and seven attending Ikingwamanoti Primary School. Note taking and digital recorders were used to collect narrative data for thematic analysis of emergent themes. Results: Among participants, 75% parents and 50% children considered urinary schistosomiasis as a low priority health problem. Of the informants, 70% children and 48.3% parents had misconceptions about the cause, modes of transmission and control of schistosomiasis demonstrating gaps in their biomedical knowledge of the disease. Assessment of treatment seeking behavior for urinary schistosomiasis revealed a combination of traditional and modern health care sectors. However, modern medicines were considered effective in the treatment of urinary schistosomiasis. Lack of alternative sources of water for domestic and recreational activities and unhygienic water use habits exposed community members to high risk of acquiring urinary schistosomiasis. Conclusion: Use of Schistosoma haematobium contaminated water sources for daily domestic and recreational use facilitated contraction of urinary schistosomiasis among community members in Shinyanga district. People’s perceptions of urinary schistosomiasis as a less priority health problem promoted persistence of the disease. Future efforts to control urinary schistosomiasis should take into account integrated approaches combining water, sanitation and hygiene, health education, alternative sources of clean and safe water to facilitate behavior change.

description: Funder: Arm
description: Abstract: Robotics competitions stimulate the next generation of cutting edge robotics solutions and innovative technologies. The World Robot Summit (WRS) Industrial Assembly challenge posed a key research challenge: how to develop adaptive industrial assembly robots. The overall goal is to develop robots where minimal hardware or software changes are required to manufacture a new or altered product. This will minimise waste and allow the industry to move towards a far more flexible approach to manufacturing; this will provide exciting new technologies for the manufacturing industry and support many new business models and approaches. In this paper, we present an approach where general-purpose grippers and adaptive control approaches have been developed to move towards this research goal. These approaches enable highly flexible and adaptive assembly of a belt drive system. The abilities of this approach were demonstrated by taking part in the WRS Industrial Assembly Challenge. We achieved second place in the kitting challenge and second place in the adaptive manufacturing challenge and were presented with the Innovation Award.

description: Quantum contextuality turns out to be a necessary resource for universal quantum computation and also has applications in quantum communication. Thus it becomes important to generate contextual sets of arbitrary structure and complexity to enable a variety of implementations. In recent years, such generation has been done for contextual sets known as Kochen-Specker sets. Up to now, two approaches have been used for massive generation of non-isomorphic Kochen-Specker sets: exhaustive generation up to a given size and downward generation from master sets and their associated coordinatizations. Master sets were obtained earlier from serendipitous or intuitive connections with polytopes or Pauli operators, and more recently from arbitrary vector components using an algorithm that generates orthogonal vector groupings from them. However, both upward and downward generation face an inherent exponential complexity barrier. In contrast, in this paper we present methods and algorithms that we apply to downward generation that can overcome the exponential barrier in many cases of interest. These involve tailoring and manipulating Kochen-Specker master sets obtained from a small number of simple vector components, filtered by the features of the sets we aim to obtain. Some of the classes of Kochen-Specker sets we generate contain all previously known ones, and others are completely novel. We provide examples of both kinds in 4- and 6-dim Hilbert spaces. We also give a brief introduction for a wider audience and a novice reader.

description: The spread of traffic jams in urban networks has long been viewed as a complex spatio-temporal phenomenon that often requires computationally intensive microscopic models for analysis purposes. In this study, we present a framework to describe the dynamics of congestion propagation and dissipation of traffic in cities using a simple contagion process, inspired by those used to model infectious disease spread in a population. We introduce two novel macroscopic characteristics of network traffic, namely congestion propagation rate \b{eta} and congestion dissipation rate μ. We describe the dynamics of congestion propagation and dissipation using these new parameters, \b{eta}, and μ, embedded within a system of ordinary differential equations, analogous to the well-known Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) model. The proposed contagion-based dynamics are verified through an empirical multi-city analysis, and can be used to monitor, predict and control the fraction of congested links in the network over time.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Neutralino as the lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) is a candidate for supersymmetric dark matter. It is known that coannihilation effects could be important in neutralino relic density calculation. Here we present some results on neutralino-stop coannihilation in the CMSSM. In this model, the lighter stop can be degenerate with the lightest neutralino chi when |A_0| is not equal to 0 and large, more specifically when the lighter stop mass is suppressed by large off-diagonal terms in the stop square mass matrix. In the region where the stop is slightly heavier than the neutralino, the coannihilation effect brings the relic density into the range favored by cosmology. While the neutralino-stop coannihilation channels do not increase the range of m_chi, they do extend the cosmologically preferred region to larger values of m_0.

description: Abstract: Background: Multi-arm designs provide an effective means of evaluating several treatments within the same clinical trial. Given the large number of treatments now available for testing in many disease areas, it has been argued that their utilisation should increase. However, for any given clinical trial there are numerous possible multi-arm designs that could be used, and choosing between them can be a difficult task. This task is complicated further by a lack of available easy-to-use software for designing multi-arm trials. Results: To aid the wider implementation of multi-arm clinical trial designs, we have developed a web application for sample size calculation when using a variety of popular multiple comparison corrections. Furthermore, the application supports sample size calculation to control several varieties of power, as well as the determination of optimised arm-wise allocation ratios. It is built using the Shiny package in the R programming language, is free to access on any device with an internet browser, and requires no programming knowledge to use. It incorporates a variety of features to make it easier to use, including help boxes and warning messages. Using design parameters motivated by a recently completed phase II oncology trial, we demonstrate that the application can effectively determine and evaluate complex multi-arm trial designs. Conclusions: The application provides the core information required by statisticians and clinicians to review the operating characteristics of a chosen multi-arm clinical trial design. The range of designs supported by the application is broader than other currently available software solutions. Its primary limitation, particularly from a regulatory agency point of view, is its lack of validation. However, we present an approach to efficiently confirming its results via simulation.

description: Music Inpainting is the task of filling in missing or lost information in a piece of music. We investigate this task from an interactive music creation perspective. To this end, a novel deep learning-based approach for musical score inpainting is proposed. The designed model takes both past and future musical context into account and is capable of suggesting ways to connect them in a musically meaningful manner. To achieve this, we leverage the representational power of the latent space of a Variational Auto-Encoder and train a Recurrent Neural Network which learns to traverse this latent space conditioned on the past and future musical contexts. Consequently, the designed model is capable of generating several measures of music to connect two musical excerpts. The capabilities and performance of the model are showcased by comparison with competitive baselines using several objective and subjective evaluation methods. The results show that the model generates meaningful inpaintings and can be used in interactive music creation applications. Overall, the method demonstrates the merit of learning complex trajectories in the latent spaces of deep generative models.

description: Motivated by theories of Neutral Naturalness, we argue that \emph{Mirror Stars} are a generic possibility in any hidden sector with analogues of Standard Model (SM) electromagnetism and nuclear physics. We show that if there exists a tiny kinetic mixing between the dark photon and the SM photon, Mirror Stars capture SM matter from the interstellar medium, which accumulates in the core of the Mirror Star and radiates in the visible spectrum. This signature is similar to, but in most cases much fainter than, ordinary white dwarfs. We also show for the first time that in the presence of captured SM matter, a fraction of dark photons from the core of the Mirror Star convert directly to SM photons, which leads to an X-ray signal that represents a direct probe of the properties of the Mirror Star core. These two signatures together are a highly distinctive, smoking gun signature of Mirror Stars. We show that Mirror Stars could be discovered in both optical and X-ray searches up to approximately 100-1000 light years away, for a range of well-motivated values of the kinetic mixing parameter.

description: Using a slave boson representation of multi-band Hubbard models, we investigate a two-band model relevant to layered perovskites in the vicinity of half-filling. Beside the strong influence of the Hund's rule coupling, we obtain that the phase diagram separates into two regions: a weak to moderate coupling region where the effective mass is weakly renormalized, and a strong coupling regime where it is strongly renormalized. The transition between these two regimes is very sharp. It takes place in a (vanishingly) small domain. A ferromagnetic instability in only found in the strongly correlated regime, and is triggered by the Hund's rule coupling. The results are compared to La-doped layered ruthenates.

description: The relationship between the initial viral load in respiratory specimens and the severity of COVID-19 is not fully elucidated. Studies on the impact of patient age on the SARS-CoV-2 load have yielded divergent results. We aimed to investigate the impact of viral load in COVID-19. We mined a dataset of 259,511 SARS-CoV-2-infected individuals 0-105 years old in which virus RNA was quantified in nasopharyngeal swabs (viral load) using PCR at first healthcare contact. Subjects were stratified by vaccination and pandemic variant wave. Severity was assessed by hospital admission or death. Multivariable models analysed the influence of age on viral load, and viral load on severity. Among non-vaccinated (n = 140,905), viral loads of SARS-CoV-2 were lowest in children 1-9 years old and highest in infants (<1 year old) and in subjects 70–105 years, with similar results across pandemic waves and in vaccinated individuals. High viral load (≥9log10viral RNA copies/swab) associated with elevated risk of hospital admission across age groups. In adults (20-69 years old), mortality was largely confined to those with high viral load (odds ratio [OR] 5.3, 95%CI 3.6–7.3). Among subjects ≥ 70 years old, deaths occurred across viral loads but were more frequent at high viral loads (OR 2.2, 95% CI 1.9–2.6). High viral load associated with hospitalisation and mortality also in vaccinated individuals (n = 118,606). This study identified high viral load at first sampling as a predictor of severe infection and/or death across age groups of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients.

(Fig. 342)
 Description. Forewings 2.1 times longer than wide, about 4.0 mm long. Colour stramineous; mesonotum, pronotum, facial carinae, frons, fore femora, and fore- and middle tibiae dark reddish brown. Forewings clouded in middle, along apical cross-veins and apical margin, two light marks at R-Rs1 and M-Ms4 forks, veins stramineous to light brown. Hindwings colourless. Rostrum not reaching post trochanter. Forewings with bases of Cu and Ms1 touching but not merging; near the hindmargin, at the point where the cross-vein from Cu meets Cu1, another vein originates running towards, but not quite reaching the hind margin. Male genitalia with pygofer narrow. Genital styles widening towards end, which is truncated; proximal dorsal process short; distal dorsal process elongated, widening towards tip. Aedeagus with apical part short, ending in two short lobes, the right one flatter.
 Etymology. The species name is a Latin adjective (badius, -a, -um = chestnut-coloured).

Matrix-tree theorems and the Alexander-Conway polynomial

description: This talk is a report on joint work with A. Vaintrob [arXiv:math.CO/0109104 and math.GT/0111102]. It is organised as follows. We begin by recalling how the classical Matrix-Tree Theorem relates two different expressions for the lowest degree coefficient of the Alexander-Conway polynomial of a link. We then state our formula for the lowest degree coefficient of an algebraically split link in terms of Milnor's triple linking numbers. We explain how this formula can be deduced from a determinantal expression due to Traldi and Levine by means of our Pfaffian Matrix-Tree Theorem [arXiv:math.CO/0109104]. We also discuss the approach via finite type invariants, which allowed us in [arXiv:math.GT/0111102] to obtain the same result directly from some properties of the Alexander-Conway weight system. This approach also gives similar results if all Milnor numbers up to a given order vanish.

description: Topological superconductivity supports exotic Majorana bound states (MBS) which are chargeless zero-energy emergent quasiparticles. With their non-Abelian exchange statistics and fractionalization of a single electron stored nonlocally as a spatially separated MBS, they are particularly suitable for implementing fault-tolerant topological quantum computing. While the main efforts to realize MBS have focused on one-dimensional systems, the onset of topological superconductivity requires delicate parameter tuning and geometric constraints pose significant challenges for their control and demonstration of non-Abelian statistics. To overcome these challenges, building on recent experimental advances in planar Josephson junctions (JJs), we propose a MBS platform of X-shaped JJs. This versatile implementation reveals how external flux control of the superconducting phase difference can generate and manipulate multiple MBS pairs to probe non-Abelian statistics. The underlying topological superconductivity exists over a large parameter space, consistent with materials used in our fabrication of such X junctions, as an important step towards scalable topological quantum computing.

An iterative scheme for the generalized Peierls-Nabarro model based on the inverse Hilbert transform

description: A new semi-analytical iterative scheme is proposed in this work for solving the generalized Peierls-Nabarro model. The numerical method developed here exploits certain basic properties of the Hilbert transform to achieve the desired reduction of the non-local and non-linear equations characterizing the generalized Peierls-Nabarro model to a local fixed point iteration scheme. The method is validated with simple examples involving the 1D Peierls-Nabarro model corresponding to a sinusoidal stacking fault energy, and with calculations of the core structure of both edge and screw dislocations on the close-packed $\{111\}$ planes in Aluminium. An approximate technique to incorporate external stresses within the framework of the proposed iterative scheme is also discussed with applications to the equilibration of a dislocation dipole. Finally, the advantages, limitations and avenues for future extension of the proposed method are discussed.

description: Sumangala distanti Zelazny, sp. nov.
(Fig. 344)
 Description. Forewings 2.3 times longer than wide, length about 2.8 mm. Colour stramineous; margins of facial carinae orange; tibiae and tarsi tinted with orange. Forewings white, powdered; clouds of faint infuscation in clavus near hind margin, around first costal sector, from apex of Cu to base of Ms2, and along apical cross-veins; veins white to stramineous, but middle part of M, basal parts of Ms3 and Ms4, and all margins orange. Hindwings including veins white. Forewings with Sc+R fork just distad of basal third. Male genitalia with pygofer narrow. Genital styles widening towards end which is truncated. Aedeagus ending in two elongated, contiguous lobes.
 Etymology. The species is named for William Lucas Distant (1845-1922) who made important contributions to the knowledge of the Auchenorrhyncha and ' distanti ' is a latinized noun used in the genitive case.
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 2.8 mm), EAST MALAYSIA; labels: 1) NORTH BORNEO (SE)/ Forest Camp, 19 km / N. of Kalabakan / 60m, 21.XI.1962 2) K.J. Kuncheria / Collector / Bishop (BPBM).
 Distribution. Borneo (Sabah).
 Diagnosis. Sumangala distanti comes closest to Su. nubila sp. nov., also from Borneo, and to Su. delicatula Distant from Sri Lanka. It can be distinguished from these by the absence of red marks on the head and by most forewing veins being white to stramineous.

Charged lepton flavour change and Non-Standard neutrino Interactions
Creators: name: Davidson, Sacha
name: Gorbahn, Martin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Non-Standard neutrino Interactions (NSI) are vector contact interactions involving two neutrinos and two first generation fermions, which can affect neutrino propagation in matter. SU(2) gauge invariance suggests that NSI should be accompanied by more observable charged lepton contact interactions. However, these can be avoided at tree level in various ways. We focus on lepton flavour-changing NSI, suppose they are generated by New Physics heavier than $m_W$ that does not induce (charged) Lepton Flavour Violation (LFV) at tree level, and show that LFV is generated at one loop in most cases. The current constraints on charged Lepton Flavour Violation therefore suggest that mu e flavour-changing NSI are unobservable and tau l flavour-changing NSI are an order of magnitude weaker than the weak interactions. This conclusion can be avoided if the heavy New Physics conspires to cancel the one-loop LFV, or if NSI are generated by light New Physics to which our analysis does not apply.

description: Neutrino-nucleus reactions cross sections, obtained for neutrino energies in the range $\varepsilon_ν\leq 100-120$ MeV (low- and intermediate-energy range), which refer to promising neutrino detection targets of current terrestrial neutrino experiments, are presented and discussed. At first, we evaluated original cross sections for elastic scattering of neutrinos produced from various astrophysical and laboratory neutrino sources with the most abundant Cd isotopes $^{112}$Cd, $^{114}$Cd and $^{116}$Cd. These isotopes constitute the main material of the COBRA detector aiming to search for neutrinoless double beta decay events and neutrino-nucleus scattering events at the Gran Sasso laboratory (LNGS). The coherent $ν$-nucleus reaction channel addressed with emphasis here, dominates the neutral current $ν$-nucleus scattering, events of which have only recently been observed for a first time in the COHERENT experiment at Oak Ridge. Subsequently, simulated $ν$-signals expected to be recorded at Cd detectors are derived through the application of modern simulation techniques and employment of reliable neutrino distributions of astrophysical $ν$-sources (as the solar, supernova and Earth neutrinos), as well as laboratory neutrinos (like the reactor neutrinos, the neutrinos produced from pion-muon decay at rest and the $β$-beam neutrinos produced from the acceleration of radioactive isotopes at storage rings as e.g. at CERN).

description: The axial form factor G_A of the nucleon is investigated for the Goldstone-boson-exchange constituent quark model using the point-form approach to relativistic quantum mechanics. The results, being covariant, show large contributions from relativistic boost effects. The predictions are obtained directly from the quark-model wave functions, without any further input such as vertex or constituent-quark form factors, and fall remarkably close to the available experimental data.
