description: Finding the distant source of an odor dispersed by a turbulent flow is a vital task for many organisms, either for foraging or for mating purposes. At the level of individual search, animals like moths have developed effective strategies to solve this very difficult navigation problem based on the noisy detection of odor concentration and wind velocity alone. When many individuals concurrently perform the same olfactory search task, without any centralized control, sharing information about the decisions made by the members of the group can potentially increase the performance. But how much of this information is actually valuable and exploitable for the collective task ? Here we show that, in a model of a swarm of agents inspired by moth behavior, there is an optimal way to blend the private information about odor and wind detections with the publicly available information about other agents' heading direction. At optimality, the time required for the first agent to reach the source is essentially the shortest flight time from the departure point to the target. Conversely, agents who discard public information are several fold slower and groups that do not put enough weight on private information perform even worse. Our results then suggest an efficient multi-agent olfactory search algorithm that could prove useful in robotics, for instance in the identification of sources of harmful volatile compounds.

Freezing of a soft-core fluid in a one-dimensional potential: Predictions based on a pressure-balance equation
Creators: name: Kraft, Alexander

description: Using concepts from classical density functional theory (DFT) we investigate the freezing of a two-dimensional (2D) system of ultra-soft particles in a one-dimensional (1D) external potential; a phenomenon often called laser-induced freezing (LIF). In the first part of the paper, we present numerical results from free minimization of a mean-field density functional for a system of particles interacting via the GEM-4 potential. We show that the system does indeed display a LIF transition, although the interaction potential is markedly different from the cases studied before. We also show that one may consider the (suitably defined) effective density within the potential wells, $\barρ_{\text{eff}}$, as a control parameter of LIF, rather than the amplitude of the external potential as in the common LIF scenario. In the second part, we suggest a new theoretical description of the onset of LIF which bases on the pressure balance equation relating the pressure tensor and the external potential. Evaluating this equation for the modulated liquid phase at effective density $\barρ_{\text{eff}}$ and combining it with the (known) stability threshold of the corresponding bulk fluid, we can predict the critical effective density or, equivalently, the potential amplitude related to the onset of LIF. Our approach yields very good results for the model at hand, and it is transferable, in principle, to other model systems.

description: Numerous members of the human microbiome including P. gingivalis, E. coli, H. pylori and F. nucleatum have been implicated in the onset of cancer. F. nucleatum, a gram-negative opportunistic bacterium, is implicated in establishing disease-favourable environment in colorectal cancer (CRC), breast cancer, esophageal cancer, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).  F. nucleatum is also reported to cause chronic inflammation in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) one of the most prevalent cancer groups in Pakistan. This study aims to highlight key players common in both CRC and HNSCC that interact with F. nucleatum indicating similar mechanism of that may favor the onset of cancer.
title: From Victim to Abuser an Analysis of Child Sex Offenders
Creators: name: Adinolfi, Ava M.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2011

description: The purpose of this study is to identify potential risk factors for becoming a child sex offender, more specifically for sexually offending against a girl versus a boy victim. The 2004 Survey of Inmates in State Correctional Facilities was used for this study. Data were drawn from 11,569 one-hour computer assisted interviews with male inmates.

The results from this study confirm one of the two hypotheses set out in this research. Compared to rapists and female object sex offenders, boy object sex offenders were more likely to report a history of sexual abuse prior to age 18. The etiological factors related to becoming a girl object sex offender are speculative. Future research should focus attention to this social problem as girls are disproportionately sexually victimized compared to boys. Regardless of type of sexual offense this study shows that those with violent offences, sexual or not, report a history of physical violence in childhood twice that of the general population. This suggests a pattern of learned violent behavior leads to future violent acts such as sexual offending. Policy should look to eliminate all violent acts against children to prevent the molding of future sexually violent adults.

description: We analyze transmission of electromagnetic waves through a periodic band-gap structure consisting of slabs of a left-handed metamaterial and air. Using the effective parameters of the metamaterial derived from its microscopic structure, we study, with the help of the transfer-matrix approach and by means of the finite-difference-time-domain numerical simulations, the transmission properties of such a left-handed photonic crystals in a novel type of band gap associated with the zero averaged refractive index. We demonstrate that the transmission can be made tunable by introducing defects, which allow to access selectively two different types of band gaps.

description: We present models of CO(1-0) emission from Milky Way-mass galaxies at redshift zero in the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-in simulations. We calculate the molecular abundances by post-processing the simulations with an equilibrium chemistry solver while accounting for the effects of local sources, and determine the emergent CO(1-0) emission using a line radiative transfer code. We find that the results depend strongly on the shielding length assumed, which in our models sets the attenuation of the incident UV radiation field. At the resolution of these simulations, commonly used choices for the shielding length, such as the Jeans length, result in CO abundances that are too high at a given H$_2$ abundance. We find that a model with a distribution of shielding lengths, which has a median shielding length of $\sim 3$ pc in cold gas ($T < 300$ K) for both CO and H$_{2}$, is able to reproduce both the observed CO(1-0) luminosity and inferred CO-to-H$_{2}$ conversion factor at a given star formation rate compared with observations. We suggest that this short shielding length can be thought of as a subgrid model which controls the amount of radiation that penetrates giant molecular clouds.

description: We study a class of growth processes in which clusters evolve via exchange of particles. We show that depending on the rate of exchange there are three possibilities: I) Growth: Clusters grow indefinitely; II) Gelation: All mass is transformed into an infinite gel in a finite time; and III) Instant Gelation. In regimes I and II, the cluster size distribution attains a self-similar form. The large size tail of the scaling distribution is Phi(x) ~ exp(-x^{2-ν}), where nu is a homogeneity degree of the rate of exchange. At the borderline case nu=2, the distribution exhibits a generic algebraic tail, Phi(x)\sim x^{-5}. In regime III, the gel nucleates immediately and consumes the entire system. For finite systems, the gelation time vanishes logarithmically, T\sim [\ln N]^{-(ν-2)}, in the large system size limit N\to\infty. The theory is applied to coarsening in the infinite range Ising-Kawasaki model and in electrostatically driven granular layers.

A complete family of separability criteria

description: We introduce a new family of separability criteria that are based on the existence of extensions of a bipartite quantum state $ρ$ to a larger number of parties satisfying certain symmetry properties. It can be easily shown that all separable states have the required extensions, so the non-existence of such an extension for a particular state implies that the state is entangled. One of the main advantages of this approach is that searching for the extension can be cast as a convex optimization problem known as a semidefinite program (SDP). Whenever an extension does not exist, the dual optimization constructs an explicit entanglement witness for the particular state. These separability tests can be ordered in a hierarchical structure whose first step corresponds to the well-known Positive Partial Transpose (Peres-Horodecki) criterion, and each test in the hierarchy is at least as powerful as the preceding one. This hierarchy is complete, in the sense that any entangled state is guaranteed to fail a test at some finite point in the hierarchy, thus showing it is entangled. The entanglement witnesses corresponding to each step of the hierarchy have well-defined and very interesting algebraic properties that in turn allow for a characterization of the interior of the set of positive maps. Coupled with some recent results on the computational complexity of the separability problem, which has been shown to be NP-hard, this hierarchy of tests gives a complete and also computationally and theoretically appealing characterization of mixed bipartite entangled states.

description: Microrheology experiments show that viscoelastic media composed by wormlike micellar networks display complex relaxations lasting seconds even at the scale of micrometers. By mapping a model of patchy colloids with suitable mesoscopic elementary motifs to a system of worm-like micelles, we are able to simulate its relaxation dynamics, upon a thermal quench, spanning many decades, from microseconds up to tens of seconds. After mapping the model to real units and to experimental scission energies, we show that the relaxation process develops through a sequence of non-local and energetically challenging arrangements. These adjustments remove undesired structures formed as a temporary energetic solution for stabilizing the thermodynamically unstable free caps of the network. We claim that the observed scale-free nature of this stagnant process may complicate the correct quantification of experimentally relevant time scales as the Weissenberg number.

Creators: name: Pals, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: FOS: Psychology

description: There is limited work regarding multiple indicators of social status in the legal system (e.g., power and SES). The present study investigated the influence of defendant social status on case judgments in a first-degree rape case. The experiment used a 2 (defendant power: high vs. low) x 2 (defendant SES: high vs. low) x 2 (participant gender) between-subjects design. A sample of 282 community members were recruited via Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. Participants were presented with a case summary, asked to make guilt and credibility judgments, complete the system justification gender scale (gender SJ: Jost & Kay, 2005), and answer standard demographic questions. Main effects were found such that female participants and defendants rated higher in power (i.e., legal authority), led to increases in pro-victim judgments (i.e., guilty verdicts). No main effect of defendant SES was found. Further, the effects of power and wealth were mediated by victim credibility, such that increases in defendant power led to increased victim credibility, raising the number of guilty verdicts. However, this mediation varied based on participants’ gender SJ scores. Overall findings indicate that when a defendant was rated as high in legal authority, participants viewed rape as an abuse of power, and/or the victim as braver (i.e., credible) for coming forward.

description: We study in detail the barrier distributions extracted from large-angle quasi-elastic scattering of heavy ions at energies near the Coulomb barrier. Using a closed-form expression for scattering from a single barrier, we compare the quasi-elastic barrier distribution with the corresponding test function for fusion. We examine the isocentrifugal approximation in coupled-channels calculations of quasi-elastic scattering and find that for backward angles, it works well, justifying the concept of a barrier distribution for scattering processes. This method offers an interesting tool for investigating unstable nuclei. We illustrate this for the $^{32}$Mg + $^{208}$Pb reaction, where the quadrupole collectivity of the neutron-rich $^{32}$Mg remains to be clarified experimentally.

Motion of Particles in Solar and Galactic Systems by Using Neumann Boundary Condition
Creators: name: Shenavar, Hossein
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new equation of motion, which is derived previously by imposing Neumann boundary condition on cosmological perturbation equations (Shenavar 2016 a), is investigated. By studying the precession of perihelion, it is shown that the new equation of motion suggests a small, though detectable, correction in orbits of solar system objects. Then a system of particles is surveyed to have a better understanding of galactic structures. Also the general form of the force law is introduced by which the rotation curve and mass discrepancy of axisymmetric disks of stars are derived. In addition, it is suggested that the mass discrepancy as a function of centripetal acceleration becomes significant near a constant acceleration $ 2c_{1}a_{0} $ where $c_{1}$ is the Neumann constant and $ a_{0} = 6.59 \times 10^{-10} $ $m/s^{2}$ is a fundamental acceleration. Furthermore, it is shown that a critical surface density equal to $ σ_{0}=a_{0}/G $, in which G is the Newton gravitational constant, has a significant role in rotation curve and mass discrepancy plots. Also, the specific form of NFW mass density profile at small radii, $ ρ\propto 1/r $, is explained too. Finally, the present model will be tested by using a sample of 39 LSB galaxies for which we will show that the rotation curve fittings are generally acceptable. The derived mass to light ratios too are found within the plausible bound except for the galaxy F571-8.

description: By taking account of the alternation of structural parameters, we study bunching of impermeable steps induced by drift of adatoms on a vicinal face of Si(001). With the alternation of diffusion coefficient, the step bunching occurs irrespective of the direction of the drift if the step distance is large. Like the bunching of permeable steps, the type of large terraces is determined by the drift direction. With step-down drift, step bunches grows faster than those with step-up drift. The ratio of the growth rates is larger than the ratio of the diffusion coefficients. Evaporation of adatoms, which does not cause the step bunching, decreases the difference. If only the alternation of kinetic coefficient is taken into account, the step bunching occurs with step-down drift. In an early stage, the initial fluctuation of the step distance determines the type of large terraces, but in a late stage, the type of large terraces is opposite to the case of alternating diffusion coefficient.

description: With OSCC being ranked among the 5 most prevalent cancers in Pakistan, it is crucial to maximize the efficacy of presently prescribed treatment regimens. Currently, a lack of optimal treatment that considers factors such as comorbid conditions exposes the patient to a greater risk of side effects of chemotherapy. With a long-term aim to introduce personalized chemotherapy in Pakistan, we aim to screen effective drug combinations from those recommended by local oncologists through in vitro drug screening in local patient-derived primary OSCC cell lines.

Flag fault-tolerant error correction for any stabilizer code
Creators: name: Chao, Rui

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Conventional fault-tolerant quantum error-correction schemes require a number of extra qubits that grows linearly with the code's maximum stabilizer generator weight. For some common distance-three codes, the recent "flag paradigm" uses just two extra qubits. Chamberland and Beverland (2018) provide a framework for flag error correction of arbitrary-distance codes. However, their construction requires conditions that only some code families are known to satisfy. We give a flag error-correction scheme that works for any stabilizer code, unconditionally. With fast qubit measurement and reset, it uses $d+1$ extra qubits for a distance-$d$ code.

description: Asteroseismic methods offer a means to investigate stellar activity and activity cycles as well as to identify those properties of stars which are crucial for the operation of stellar dynamos. With data from CoRoT and \textit{Kepler}, signatures of magnetic activity have been found in the seismic properties of a few dozen stars. Now, NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission offers the possibility to expand this, so far, rather exclusive group of stars. This promises to deliver new insight into the parameters that govern stellar magnetic activity as a function of stellar mass, age, and rotation rate. We derive a new scaling relation for the amplitude of the activity-related acoustic (p-mode) frequency shifts that can be expected over a full stellar cycle. Building on a catalogue of synthetic TESS time series, we use the shifts obtained from this relation and simulate the yield of detectable frequency shifts in an extended TESS mission. We find that, according to our scaling relation, we can expect to find significant p-mode frequency shifts for a couple hundred main-sequence and early subgiant stars and for a few thousand late subgiant and low-luminosity red giant stars.

The Ambiguity in the Definition and Behavior of the Gravitational and Cosmological `Coupling Constants' in the Theory of Induced Gravity

description: This work is the extension of author`s research, where the modified theory of induced gravity (MTIG) is proposed. The theory describes two systems (stages): Einstein (ES) and "restructuring" (RS). We consider equations with quadratic potential that are symmetric with respect to scale transformations. The solutions of the equations obtained for the case of spaces defined by the Friedman-Robertson-Walker metric, as well as for a centrally symmetric space are investigated. In our model arise effective gravitational and cosmological "constants", which are defined by the "mean square" of the scalar fields. In obtained solutions the values of such parameters as "Hubble parameter", gravitational and cosmological "constants" in the RS stage fluctuate near monotonically evolving mean values. These parameters are matched with observational data, described as phenomena of dark energy and dark matter. The MTIG equations for the case of a centrally symmetric gravitational field, in addition to the Schwarzschild-de Sitter solutions, contain solutions that lead to the new physical effects at large distances from the center. The Schwarzschild-Sitter solution becomes unstable and enters the oscillatory regime. For distances greater than a certain critical value, the following effects can appear: deviation from General relativity and Newton's law of gravitational interaction, antigravity.

Abelian Projection of Massive SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We derive an effective Abelian gauge theory (EAGT) of a modified SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. The modification is made by explicitly introducing mass terms of the off-diagonal gluon fields into pure SU(2) Yang-Mills theory, in order that Abelian dominance at a long-distance scale is realized in the modified theory. In deriving the EAGT, the off-diagonal gluon fields involving longitudinal modes are treated as fields that produce quantum effects on the diagonal gluon field and other fields relevant at a long-distance scale. Unlike earlier papers, a necessary gauge fixing is carried out without spoiling the global SU(2) gauge symmetry. We show that the EAGT allows a composite of the Yukawa and the linear potentials which also occurs in an extended dual Abelian Higgs model. This composite potential is understood to be a static potential between color-electric charges. In addition, we point out that the EAGT involves the Skyrme-Faddeev model.

description: The introduction of electronic payment systems for public transport in many cities all over the world enabled collection of detailed and comprehensive data records of public transport journeys. Processing and mining of these data opens new opportunities in transport modelling and travel behaviour research. In particular its potential for identification and analysis of activities, which cause regular travels, represents a highly interesting research question. In this paper, opportunities for detection of primary activities, as home and work activities, and their locations based on records of smart card fare payment system for public transport are investigated. Thereby the city-state of Singapore is used as a case-study. In order to gain information about country specific activity characteristics and allow accurate model calibration, data from household travel survey is used. In particular, two major activity detection models are considered: a simple rule-based model using only activity duration for detection of work activities and more involved discrete choice modelling approach using additional variables as activity start-time and land-use information, and distinguishing between home, work and other activities. In particular, the benefit resulting from including land-use information into the discrete choice model is evaluated and models with and without it are compared.  The developed models are applied to the full record of public transport journeys in Singapore and outcomes are compared against each other. In conclusion, challenges associated with analysis of longer time periods consisting out of journey data for several days are discussed.

description: Spiking Neural Network (SNN), as a brain-inspired approach, is attracting attention due to its potential to produce ultra-high-energy-efficient hardware. Competitive learning based on Spike-Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) is a popular method to train an unsupervised SNN. However, previous unsupervised SNNs trained through this method are limited to a shallow network with only one learnable layer and cannot achieve satisfactory results when compared with multi-layer SNNs. In this paper, we eased this limitation by: 1)We proposed a Spiking Inception (Sp-Inception) module, inspired by the Inception module in the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) literature. This module is trained through STDP-based competitive learning and outperforms the baseline modules on learning capability, learning efficiency, and robustness. 2)We proposed a Pooling-Reshape-Activate (PRA) layer to make the Sp-Inception module stackable. 3)We stacked multiple Sp-Inception modules to construct multi-layer SNNs. Our algorithm outperforms the baseline algorithms on the hand-written digit classification task, and reaches state-of-the-art results on the MNIST dataset among the existing unsupervised SNNs.

description: Di-n-octyl phthalate (DOP), a plasticizer used in many different industrial products, is a frequently observed pollutant in the environment. Biodegradation by microorganisms is considered to be a realistic choice for the remediation of DOP contamination. In the present research, the halotolerant bacterial consortium (LF) enriched in our previous research was used to degrade DOP. It was found that the optimal conditions for LF to degrade DOP was temperature 30oC, pH 6.0, inoculum size >5%, and salt content <3%. LF could degrade a high concentration of DOP (2000 mg/L) with the removal efficiency of 96.33%. Substrate inhibition analyses indicated that the inhibition constant, maximum speciﬁc degradation rate and half-saturation constant were 2544.6 mg/L, 0.7 d−1 and 59.1 mg/L, respectively. Based on the analysis of the gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), the biodegradation pathway for DOP by LF was proposed. Furthermore, LF could degrade DOP in soil (100 mg/kg) with the highest removal efficiency of 89.3%. This study is the first report on DOP biodegradation by bacterial consortium. These results suggest that LF can be used to remediate DOP-contaminated environment.

description: We present an observation of the decay $B^{0} \to π^{0} π^{0}$ based on a sample of 124 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs recorded by the BABAR detector at the PEP-II asymmetric-energy $B$ Factory at SLAC. We observe $46 \pm 13 \pm 3$ events, where the first error is statistical and the second is systematic, corresponding to a significance of 4.2 standard deviations including systematic uncertainties. We measure the branching fraction $\BR(B^{0} \to π^{0} π^{0}) = (2.1 \pm 0.6 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{-6}$, averaged over $B^{0}$ and $\bar{B}^{0}$ decays.

description: Microsphere-based subwavelength imaging technique was first demonstrated in 2011. After nearly a decade of efforts, such technique has spawned numerous interests in fields such as laser nano-machining, imaging, sensing and biological detection. For wider industrial scale application of the technique, a robust, low-cost objective lens incorporating microsphere lens is highly desired and sought by many researchers. In this work, we demonstrate a unibody microscope objective lens formed by tipping a high-index microsphere onto a Plano-Convex lens and subsequently fitting them into a conventional objective lens. We call such new objective the Plano-Convex-Microsphere (PCM) objective, which resembles the appearance and operation of an ordinary microscope objective, while providing super-resolving power in discerning subwavelength nanoscale features in air condition. The imaging performance of PCM-objective along with the working distance has been systematically investigated. With the assistance of scanning process, larger area imaging is realized. The PCM-objective can be easily adaptive to many existing microscope systems and appealing for commercialization.
