Abstract:

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) aims to determine neutrino mass ordering with a 20-kton liquidscintillator detector. To enhance its sensitivity, JUNO will combine the measurements of low-energy reactor antineutrinos and atmospheric neutrinos in the GeV region. The sensitivity from the atmospheric neutrino measurement relies on the performance of neutrino flavor identification, which is a very challenging task in a liquid scintillator detector.This flash talk will present a machine learning approach for the high-efficiency and high-purity flavor identification for atmospheric neutrinos in large unsegmented liquid scintillator detectors like JUNO. Our approach utilizes not only the topological properties of atmospheric neutrinos characterized by PMT waveform features, but also event-level information such as those from captured neutrons. Preliminary results show that this approach has great potential for utilizing atmospheric neutrinos to unearth JUNO's capabilities.

description: We propose to parametrize the configuration space of one-dimensional quantum systems of N identical particles by the elementary symmetric polynomials of bosonic and fermionic coordinates. It is shown that in this parametrization the Hamiltonians of the A_N, BC_N, B_N, C_N and D_N Calogero and Sutherland models, as well as their supersymmetric generalizations, can be expressed -- for arbitrary values of the coupling constants -- as quadratic polynomials in the generators of a Borel subalgebra of the Lie algebra gl(N+1) or the Lie superalgebra gl(N+1|N) for the supersymmetric case. These algebras are realized by first order differential operators. This fact establishes the exact solvability of the models according to the general definition given by one of the authors in 1994, and implies that the Calogero and Jack-Sutherland polynomials, as well as their supersymmetric generalizations, are related to finite-dimensional irreducible representations of the Lie algebra gl(N+1) and the Lie superalgebra gl(N+1|N).

Chloride Intracellular Channel (CLIC) proteins function to modulate Rac1 and RhoA downstream of endothelial G-protein coupled receptors signaling

description: Chloride intracellular channel proteins have homology to ion channels and omega class of glutathione-S-transferases but channel activity is not well established, suggesting roles in other signaling pathways. Among the six CLICs, CLIC1 and CLIC4 are expressed in endothelial cells (EC) and act to promote EC proliferation, capillary-like networks, and lumen formation. We and others determined that Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) signaling promotes transient CLIC4 membrane localization. We report that CLIC1 and CLIC4 have distinct roles in endothelial S1P signaling. In knockdown studies, CLIC1 and CLIC4 were independently required for S1PR1-mediated Rac1 activation, enhanced EC barrier integrity, and EC migration. CLIC1 was uniquely required for S1PR2/3-driven RhoA activation and actin stress fiber formation, while CLIC4 was uniquely required for thrombin/PAR-driven RhoA activation and endothelial permeability. CLICs were not required for other GPCR-mediated pathways measured, including S1PR1-mediated cAMP regulation downstream of Gαi, or Ras and ERK activation downstream of Gβγ. Endothelial β-adrenergic signaling, which uses Gαs, was unaltered by loss of CLICs. Further investigation of receptor tyrosine kinase signaling (VEGF, EGF) in endothelial cells reveals their signaling cascades do not depend on CLICs as well. We conclude that CLICs mediate S1PR-driven RhoA and Rac1 regulation, and thrombin/PAR-driven RhoA activation, and a possible mediator for endothelial GPCR by modulating Rac1 and RhoA.
      CLIC N-termini contain membrane insertion motifs and the putative ion channel domain, while the C-termini contain two predicted SH domains. Chimeric proteins generated by swapping N and C-termini of CLIC1 and CLIC4 were used in rescue experiments. The C-terminal domain was determined to confer S1PR1-CLIC-Rac1 mediated barrier function and migration.  We further characterized N-termini of CLIC4 and membrane localization of by generating CLIC4 C-termini truncated protein, along with CLIC4 C-termini fusing with Lck-peptide for myristylation and plasma membrane re-localization. CLIC4 C-termini alone fails to rescue S1PR1-CLIC-Rac1 mediated barrier function, while membrane localization of the CLIC4 C-terminal domain functions in S1P signaling, suggesting the N-terminal domain confers membrane localization but not signaling function. Thus, we conclude S1P promotes cell localization of CLIC4 to the EC plasma membrane through N-termini, which then regulates Rac1 mediated events through C-termini. Through these findings, our work defines a molecular mechanism through which CLICs function in endothelium.

description: In this paper we study submonoids of the monoid $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\,\Rsh\!\!\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ of almost monotone injective co-finite partial selfmaps of positive integers $\mathbb{N}$. Let $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ be a submonoid of $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\,\Rsh\!\!\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ which consists of cofinite monotone partial bijections of $\mathbb{N}$ and $\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{N}}$ be a subsemigroup $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\,\Rsh\!\!\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ which is generated by the partial shift $n\mapsto n+1$ and its inverse partial map. We show that every automorphism of a full inverse subsemigroup of $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ which contains the semigroup $\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{N}}$ is the identity map. We construct a submonoid $\mathbf{I}\mathbb{N}_\infty^{[\underline{1}]}$ of $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\,\Rsh\!\!\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ with the following property: if $S$ is an inverse submonoid of $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\,\Rsh\!\!\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ such that $S$ contains $\mathbf{I}\mathbb{N}_\infty^{[\underline{1}]}$ as a submonoid, then every non-identity congruence $\mathfrak{C}$ on $S$ is a group congruence. We show that if $S$ is an inverse submonoid of $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\,\Rsh\!\!\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ such that $S$ contains $\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{N}}$ as a submonoid then $S$ is simple and the quotient semigroup $S/\mathfrak{C}_{\mathbf{mg}}$, where $\mathfrak{C}_{\mathbf{mg}}$ is minimum group congruence on $S$, is isomorphic to the additive group of integers. Also, we study topologizations of inverse submonoids of $\mathscr{I}_\infty^{\,\Rsh\!\!\!\nearrow}(\mathbb{N})$ which contain $\mathscr{C}_{\mathbb{N}}$ and embeddings of such semigroups into compact-like topological semigroups.

description: We study the moduli space C^2 of unitary two-dimensional conformal field theories with central charge c=2. We construct all the 28 nonexceptional nonisolated irreducible components of C^2 that may be obtained by an orbifold procedure from toroidal theories. The parameter spaces and partition functions are calculated explicitly, and all multicritical points and lines are determined. We show that all but four of the 28 irreducible components of C^2 corresponding to nonexceptional orbifolds are directly or indirectly connected to the moduli space of toroidal theories in C^2. We relate our results to those by Dixon, Ginsparg, Harvey on the classification of c=3/2 superconformal field theories and thereby give geometric interpretations to all nonisolated orbifolds discussed there.

Chloride Intracellular Channels 1 and 4 function in distinct branches of S1P signaling to regulate endothelial cell behavior and vascular development

description: Chloride intracellular channels (CLICs), 1 and 4 are expressed in endothelial cells where they promote cell proliferation, migration and vessel morphogenesis in vitro. Clic4-/- mice exhibit defects in retinal angiogenesis suggesting CLIC4 functions as an angiogenic regulator. S1P signaling, through S1P receptors S1P1 and S1P2, is essential for endothelial cell functions during vascular development. S1P treatment promotes CLIC4 localization to cell surface suggesting a link between CLICs and S1P pathways.
      Here we demonstrate that CLICs function in embryonic development, retinal angiogenesis and vascular permeability regulation. Clic1-/-;Clic4-/- embryos die in utero and exhibit severe growth restriction with vascular defects prior to death. Loss of Clic4 in murine endothelium (Clic4ECKO) caused aberrant retinal angiogenesis characterized by reduced vascular outgrowth and increased vessel sprouting. Clic4ECKO mice exhibited increased vessel leakiness as assessed by a lung permeability assay.
      We establish that CLIC1 and CLIC4 function in distinct branches of the S1P pathway to promote angiogenesis. Knockdown of CLIC1 or CLIC4 in endothelial cells impeded S1P1-mediated induction of AKT and Rac1 and reduced endothelial cell migration and adherence junctions formation. CLIC1 knockdown alone inhibited RhoA activation and actin stress fibers downstream of S1P2. Using pharmacological perturbation of S1P signaling in Clic knockout mice we established that Clic4 is essential for S1P1-mediated regulation of retinal angiogenesis and vascular permeability. We conclude that CLIC1 and CLIC4 function as effectors in the S1P pathway, where they have overlapping functions in S1P1-PI3K signaling and CLIC1 uniquely acts as an effector in S1P2-RhoA signaling cascade. Through these findings, our work defines a molecular mechanism through which CLICs function in endothelium.

description: Intercalation offers a promising way to alter the physical properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials. Here we investigate the electronic and vibrational properties of 2D layered MoSe$_2$ intercalated with atomic manganese at ambient and high pressure up to 7 GPa by Raman scattering and electronic structure calculations. The behavior of optical phonons is studied experimentally with a diamond anvil cell and computationally through density functional theory calculations. Experiment and theory show excellent agreement in optical phonon behavior. The previously Raman inactive A$_{2u}$ mode is activated and enhanced with intercalation and pressure, and a new Raman mode appears upon decompression, indicating a possible onset of a localized structural transition, involving the bonding or trapping of intercalant in 2D layered materials. Density functional theory calculations reveal a shift of Fermi level into the conduction band and spin polarization in Mn$_x$MoSe$_2$ that increases at low Mn concentration and low pressure. Our results suggest that intercalation and pressurization of van der Waals materials may allow one to obtain dilute magnetic semiconductors with controllable properties, providing a viable route for the development of new materials for spintronic applications.

description: Mobile robotics is a rapidly growing field and has countless applications including exploration, logistics, rescue operations, as well as domestic and military use. One particularly interesting example of ist use is the construction of autonomous, "self-driving" cars. Imagine that car accidents caused by human error are a thing of the past, or that your car can find ist own parking spot after you have left the vehicle. In many cases, mobile robots need to plan and make decisions autonomously while interacting with their environment. A necessary prerequisite for them to execute most non-trivial tasks is to have a concept of their environment and their location in it. Determining this location is a fundamental problem in mobile robotics known as localization. Autonomous cars need to know where they are on the road, both on a small scale to stay in lane and on a large scale to navigate.

description: Intermediate mass black holes (10$^3$-10$^5$ M$_\odot$) in the center of dwarf galaxies are believed to be analogous to growing Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in the early Universe. Their characterization can provide insight about the early galaxies. We present optical and near-infrared integral field spectroscopy of the inner $\sim$50 pc of the dwarf galaxy NGC4395, known to harbor an AGN. NGC 4395 is an ideal candidate to investigate the nature of dwarf AGN, as it is nearby ($d\approx4.4$ Mpc) enough to allow a close look at its nucleus. The optical data were obtained with the Gemini GMOS-IFU covering the 4500 A to 7300 A spectral range at a spatial resolution of 10 pc. The J and K-band spectra were obtained with the Gemini NIFS at spatial resolutions of $\sim$5 pc. The gas kinematics show a compact, rotation disk component with a projected velocity amplitude of 25 km s$^{-1}$. We estimate a mass of $7.7\times10^5$ M$_\odot$ inside a radius of 10 pc. From the H$α$ broad line component, we estimate the AGN bolometric luminosity as $L_{ bol}=(9.9\pm1.4)\times10^{40}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and a mass $M_{ BH}=(2.5^{+1.0}_{-0.8})\times10^5$ M$_\odot$ for the central black hole. The mean surface mass densities for the ionized and molecular gas are in the ranges (1-2) M$_{\odot} $pc$^{-2}$ and (1-4)$\times10^{-3}$ M${_\odot}$ pc$^{-2}$ and the average ratio between ionized and hot molecular gas masses is $\sim$500. The emission-line flux distributions reveal an elongated structure at 24 pc west of the nucleus, which is blueshifted relative to the systemic velocity of the galaxy by $\approx$30 km s$^{-1}$. We speculate that this structure is originated by the accretion of a gas-rich small satellite or by a low metallicity cosmic cloud.

description: A BPS exact wall solution is found in N=1 supergravity in four dimensions. The model uses chiral scalar field with a periodic superpotential admitting winding numbers. Maintaining the periodicity in supergravity requires a gravitational correction to superpotential which allows the exact solution. By introducing boundary cosmological constants, we construct non-BPS multi-wall solutions for which a systematic analytic approximation is worked out for small gravitational coupling.

description: The goal of the thesis is to solve the task of defining a flexible query language for distributed structured and semistructured data and to implement this language. For example, data can be represented as HTML files in the file system, whereby an XML document contains metadata about these files. Hence, these two data sources have to be merged appropriately. In order to satisfy the needs of the heterogeneous group of users, a flexible adaptable query language is required. Therefore a query model is developed which serves as a basis for an abstract syntax for query languages; this abstract syntax can be translated in concrete textual as well as graphical query languages. An implementation of the ideas proposed in the thesis is done in the area of virtual courses, especially in the project ”Virtual University of Applied Sciences”.

description: Species of Charopidae from mid-eastern Queensland in the collections of the Queensland and Australian Museums were reviewed primarily using aspects of shell morphology. Protoconch sculpture played a key role in this revision and 261 protoconchs were examined by scanning electron microscopy in order to develop a basic terminology that could be used in descriptions of genera and species. Eleven baseline patterns, some with subtle variations, were established. Eight of these are shown to be present in mid-eastern Queensland Charopidae. Studies of protoconch and teleoconch sculpture combined with shell coiling patterns showed that a number of genera and species, many newly documented, are represented. A cladistic analysis using a range of shell measurements was conducted to confirm these results. Additional verification, though limited, was sought through molecular analysis where animal tissue was available. Anatomical dissection of the male genitalia was performed on specimens of two species for which adequate preserved material was available. From an initial 13 known species, thirty-nine species of charopid are documented including a reallocation of the three ‘Gyrocochlea’ species currently described from the region resulting in three new genera, Whitcochlea gen. nov., Stanisicaropa gen. nov. and Radiolaropa gen. nov., and a new species, Radiolaropa eungella sp. nov. An additional four new Gyrocochlea-grade species are described in four new genera, Amfractaropa gen. nov., Comularopa gen. nov. Nodularopa gen. nov., and Xenoropa gen. nov. The genera Isolderopa Stanisic 2010 and Pereduropa Stanisic 2010 are expanded with the description of six new species. A new genus, Tristanoropa gen. nov. is diagnosed for the inclusion of three new species. Twelve additional species, some based on damaged specimens, are briefly described in order to complete the inventory. The majority of mid-eastern Queensland species appear to be endemic to the region. Biogeographical discussions focus on how the charopid fauna of the Central Mackay Coast Bioregion relates to similar faunas in bioregions to the north and south. Isolation of the region and its rainforests by dry corridors to the north and south that have developed as result of continental aridification since the Miocene may offer an explanation for the high endemicity of the mid-eastern Queensland charopid species.

description: The purpose of this qualitative study is to understand the beliefs and experiences of Korean immigrant parents who chose to send their children to a Korean dual language bilingual education (DLBE) program in the United States. Utilizing cultural historical activity theory and bilingualism as theoretical and conceptual frameworks, the author explored (a) how these parents’ prior experiences, transnational/transcultural knowledge, ethnic and cultural identities, and language ideologies have contributed to their educational decision and (b) how the parents are mobilizing their children’s heritage language education through a DLBE program. To honor and value the participants’ emic view, this study employed in-depth individual interviews, activity-based focused group interviews, home visits, and participant observations. Furthermore, for participants to experience and explore dynamic ways to share their stories and lived experiences, the author facilitated opportunities for multiple multimodal research activities such as a shared community walk, a word association activity, and a map drawing activity. The findings revealed that the most important motivation for choosing a Korean DLBE program over English-only programs came from their strong Korean ethnic pride and identity, which they all felt obliged to pass on to their children. Additionally, the participants became social, cultural, and educational resources for each other to compensate and overcome various challenges in supporting their children’s bilingual education due to the short bilingual teacher retention, isolated program configuration, and discontinuity of the program after elementary school. All the participants embodied the importance of maintaining heritage language and culture, actively supporting their children’s in and out of school experience and advocating for their children’s bilingual education. This study offers implications and suggestions for teaching and research as well as for ethnically, culturally, and linguistically marginalized immigrant bilingual communities. The author hopes to contribute to research and pedagogical practices in bilingual/bicultural education, heritage language learning, and community-based research, focusing on finding ways to better serve minoritized immigrant communities in the United States.

description: As a fact, China is now losing its competitiveness in the global industrial chain as the labor and land cost are increasing while the its industrial structure remains backward. Thus, big efforts will need to be made for China to upgrade within global value chains so as to achieve a sustainable growth in the near future. According to the latest National 12th Five-Year Plan (from 2011 to 2015), it is urgent to tackle this problem by “Transformation and upgrading, enhancing the competitiveness of Industrial core”, and “Foster and develop strategic emerging sectors”. Chongqing is one of the four ventral government direct-controlled cities in China, which was created in 1997 and significant change has been made since that time. From 1997 to 2010, the annual average growth rate of GDP in Chongqing is more than 10% and the annual average growth rate of fixed assets is more than 20%. Given the background of the new round of national industrial reconstructing and the critical role the city plays, it is essential to do an industrial targeting in Chongqing. In this paper, I used several indicators to identify (1) the local industrial and innovation strength and (2) the local knowledge infrastructure so as to find the high-technology industrial clusters and sectors that with greatest potential to develop in the future. After a set of screening process, two industrials have been identified as the development target: (1) Medical and Pharmaceutical and (2) Transportation.

description: If a liquid is cooled rapidly to form a glass, its structural relaxation becomes retarded, producing a drastic increase in viscosity. In two dimensions, strong long-wavelength fluctuations persist, even at low temperature, making it difficult to evaluate the microscopic structural relaxation time. This Letter shows that, in a 2D glass-forming liquid, relative displacement between neighbor particles yields a relaxation time that grows in proportion to the viscosity. In addition to thermal elastic vibrations, hydrodynamic fluctuations are found to affect the long-wavelength dynamics, yielding a logarithmically diverging diffusivity in the long-time limit.

description: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have enabled the state-of-the-art performance in many computer vision tasks. However, little effort has been devoted to establishing convolution in non-linear space. Existing works mainly leverage on the activation layers, which can only provide point-wise non-linearity. To solve this problem, a new operation, kervolution (kernel convolution), is introduced to approximate complex behaviors of human perception systems leveraging on the kernel trick. It generalizes convolution, enhances the model capacity, and captures higher order interactions of features, via patch-wise kernel functions, but without introducing additional parameters. Extensive experiments show that kervolutional neural networks (KNN) achieve higher accuracy and faster convergence than baseline CNN.

description: My thesis focuses on the problem of civil wars, which are marked by high levels of violence and an extreme inability to bargain for peace. The literature on bargaining failure in civil wars has identified several reasons to explain this situation: asymmetric information, problem of credible commitment, and issue indivisibility. These studies, however, neglect to consider the legal/institutional environment where bargaining occurs. In contrast, I argue that this is a crucial factor in determining whether or not bargaining might be successful. In my thesis, I start off by formalizing the situation of conflict: this consists of two interdependent games, a War Game and a Bargaining Game, whose specifications incorporates the distinguishing features of civil wars: the nature of the actors involved, the way they fight (i.e. fighting without committing crimes and fighting by committing crimes), the type of government (democratic, non-democratic), etc. The key observation is that the full specification of these games (i.e., action available, payoffs, etc) depends on the legal regime in place. The study of how the War/Bargaining game varies with the legal regime in place allows one to compare the different regimes with respect to their ability of achieving the goals of peace and/or justice. I, then, apply these ideas to compare the relative performance of international criminal tribunals designed according to the principles of state sovereignty, human/cosmopolitan rights, and domestic tort litigation. A novel result is that the careful choice of the legal regime might substantially reduce the problems associated with the presence of asymmetric information in civil wars. I give an example of a situation where the domestic tort litigation model outperforms the other legal models, thus lending support to a thesis proposed by Anthony D'Amato (1994) during the civil war in the former Yugoslavia.

description: We develop a systematic method for renormalizing the AdS/CFT prescription for computing correlation functions. This involves regularizing the bulk on-shell supergravity action in a covariant way, computing all divergences, adding counterterms to cancel them and then removing the regulator. We explicitly work out the case of pure gravity up to six dimensions and of gravity coupled to scalars. The method can also be viewed as providing a holographic reconstruction of the bulk spacetime metric and of bulk fields on this spacetime, out of conformal field theory data. Knowing which sources are turned on is sufficient in order to obtain an asymptotic expansion of the bulk metric and of bulk fields near the boundary to high enough order so that all infrared divergences of the on-shell action are obtained. To continue the holographic reconstruction of the bulk fields one needs new CFT data: the expectation value of the dual operator. In particular, in order to obtain the bulk metric one needs to know the expectation value of stress-energy tensor of the boundary theory. We provide completely explicit formulae for the holographic stress-energy tensors up to six dimensions. We show that both the gravitational and matter conformal anomalies of the boundary theory are correctly reproduced. We also obtain the conformal transformation properties of the boundary stress-energy tensors.

description: We present an accurate theoretical prediction for the production of Higgs boson through bottom quark annihilation at the LHC up to next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (N$^3$LO) plus next-to-next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (N$^3$LL) accuracy. We determine the third order perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) correction to the process dependent constant in the resummed expression using the three loop bottom quark form factor and third order quark soft distribution function. Thanks to the recent computation of N$^3$LO corrections to this production cross-section from all the partonic channels, an accurate matching can be obtained for a consistent predictions at N$^3$LO+N$^3$LL accuracy in QCD. We have studied in detail the impact of resummed threshold contributions to inclusive cross-sections at various centre-of-mass energies and also discussed their sensitivity to renormalization and factorization scales at next-to-next-to leading order (NNLO) matched with next-to-next-to leading logarithm (NNLL). At N$^3$LO+N$^3$LL, we predict the cross-section for different centre-of-mass energies using the recently available results in \cite{Duhr:2019kwi} as well as study the renormalization scale dependence at the same order.

description: We describe a new kind of transition between topologically distinct $N=2$ type II Calabi--Yau vacua through points with enhanced non-abelian gauge symmetries together with fundamental charged matter hypermultiplets. We connect the appearance of matter to the local geometry of the singularity and discuss the relation between the instanton numbers of the Calabi--Yau manifolds taking part in the transition. In a dual heterotic string theory on $K3\times T^2$ the process corresponds to Higgsing a semi-classical gauge group or equivalently to a variation of the gauge bundle. In special cases the situation reduces to simple conifold transitions in the Coulomb phase of the non-abelian gauge symmetries.

description: In this work the complete L-emission spectrum of gadolinium with respect to line energies, natural line widths, and relative transition probabilities was investigated using monochromatized synchrotron radiation. The measurements were realized in the PTB laboratory at BESSY II by means of an in-house built von Hamos spectrometer based on up to two full-cylinder HAPG mosaic crystal. The von Hamos spectrometer is calibrated by means of elastically scattered photons from the employed synchrotron radiation beamline leading to a well-defined energy scale and an experimentally determined spectrometer response. A selective excitation of the gadolinium L subshells was carried out to ensure a robust deconvolution of neighboring emission lines of different L subshells. The experimental results are discussed in the context of existing data from common databases and published values since significant deviations, especially for the L$γ_2$ and L$γ_3$ emission lines, are observed. We further substantiate and discuss two satellite lines at the low-energy side of the L$β_{2,15}$ and L$γ_1$ emission lines arising from the N$_{4,5}$ subshell.
