description: Recently, Carlip proposed a derivation of the entropy of the two-dimensional dilatonic black hole by investigating the Virasoro algebra associated with a newly introduced near-horizon conformal symmetry. We point out not only that the algebra of these conformal transformations is not well defined on the horizon, but also that the correct use of the eigenvalue of the operator $L_0$ yields vanishing entropy. It has been shown that these problems can be resolved by choosing a different basis of the conformal transformations which is regular even at the horizon. We also show the generalization of Carlip's derivation to any higher dimensional case in pure Einstein gravity. The entropy obtained is proportional to the area of the event horizon, but it also depends linearly on the product of the surface gravity and the parameter length of a horizon segment in consideration. We finally point out that this derivation of black hole entropy is quite different from the ones proposed so far, and several features of this method and some open issues are also discussed.

description: We study the localized tachyon condensation (LTC) of non-supersymmetric orbifold backgrounds in their mirror Landau-Ginzburg picture. Using he existence of four copies of (2,2) worldsheet supersymmetry, we show at the CFT level, that the minimal tachyon mass in twisted sectors shows somewhat analogous properties of c- or g-function. Namely, $m := |α' M^2_{min}| $ satisfies $m(M) \geq m(D_1\oplus D_2)={\rm max} \{m(D_1),m(D_2)\}$. $c$- $g$- $m$- functions share the common property $ f(M)\geq f(D_1\oplus D_2)$ for $f=c,g,m$, although they have different behavior in detail.

description: A convenient for practical use new theoretical approach describing a nonlinear frequency response of the multi-resonant nonlinear ring cavities (RC) to an intense monochromatic wave action is developed. The approach closely relates the many-valuednesses of the RC frequency response and the dispersion relation of a waveguide, from which the cavity is produced. Arising of the multistability regime in the nonlinear RC is treated. The threshold and the dynamic range of the bistability and tristability regimes for an optical ring cavity with the Kerr nonlinearity are derived and discussed.

description: We find broad classes of solutions to the field equations for d-dimensional gravity coupled to an antisymmetric tensor of arbitrary rank and a scalar field with non-vanishing potential. Our construction generates these configurations from the solution of a single nonlinear ordinary differential equation, whose form depends on the scalar potential. For an exponential potential we find solutions corresponding to brane geometries, generalizing the black p-branes and S-branes known for the case of vanishing potential. These geometries are singular at the origin with up to two (regular) horizons. Their asymptotic behaviour depends on the parameters of the model. When the singularity has negative tension or the cosmological constant is positive we find time-dependent configurations describing accelerating universes. Special cases give explicit brane geometries for (compact and non-compact) gauged supergravities in various dimensions, as well as for massive 10D supergravity, and we discuss their interrelation. Some examples lift to give new solutions to 10D supergravity. Limiting cases with a domain wall structure preserve part of the supersymmetries of the vacuum. We also consider more general potentials, including sums of exponentials. Exact solutions are found for these with up to three horizons, having potentially interesting cosmological interpretation. We give several additional examples which illustrate the power of our techniques.

description: To assess evidence on the safety and efficacy of ABVD (doxorubicin [Adriamycin®], bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine), BEACOPP (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone), and A+AVD (brentuximab vedotin, with doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) for advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted on 29 July 2016 (updated 26 July 2018) to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-RCTs assessing the treatment of newly-diagnosed advanced-stage HL with ABVD and BEACOPP (and their variants), and A+AVD. The SLR identified 62 RCTs and 42 non-RCTs. Five-year overall survival rates for ABVD and BEACOPP were 60–97% and 84–99%, and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 58–81% and 83–96%, respectively. Both regimens were associated with tolerability issues and side effects. Discontinuation or dose reduction of bleomycin resulted in fewer adverse events, without significantly affecting efficacy. A head-to-head trial demonstrated improved efficacy for A+AVD vs ABVD, with an acceptable tolerability profile. No data from head-to-head trials comparing A+AVD with BEACOPP were available, and an indirect treatment comparison was not feasible. New therapies, such as A+AVD, maintain the efficacy observed with current treatments, and may provide a more tolerable treatment option for patients with advanced-stage HL.

description: I show that a model for the interaction of magnetic domains that includes a short range ferromagnetic and a long range dipolar anti-ferromagnetic interaction reproduces very well many characteristic features of two-dimensional magnetic domain patterns. In particular bubble and stripe phases are obtained, along with polygonal and labyrinthine morphologies. In addition, two puzzling phenomena, namely the so called `memory effect' and the `topological melting' observed experimentally are also qualitatively described. Very similar phenomenology is found in the case in which the model is changed to be represented by the Swift-Hohenberg equation driven by an external orienting field.

description: Prediction intervals in supervised Machine Learning bound the region where the true outputs of new samples may fall. They are necessary in the task of separating reliable predictions of a trained model from near random guesses, minimizing the rate of False Positives, and other problem-specific tasks in applied Machine Learning. Many real problems have heteroscedastic stochastic outputs, which explains the need of input-dependent prediction intervals. This paper proposes to estimate the input-dependent prediction intervals by a separate Extreme Learning Machine model, using variance of its predictions as a correction term accounting for the model uncertainty. The variance is estimated from the model's linear output layer with a weighted Jackknife method. The methodology is very fast, robust to heteroscedastic outputs, and handles both extremely large datasets and insufficient amount of training data.

description: We consider a plausible scenario in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) where all the genuine supersymmetric (SUSY) particles are heavier than the electroweak scale. In this situation, indirect searches via their radiative corrections to low energy observables are complementary to direct searches, and they can be crucial if the SUSY masses are at the TeV energy range. We summarize the most relevant heavy SUSY radiative effects in Higgs boson physics and emphasize those that manifest a non-decoupling behaviour. We focus, in particular, on the SUSY-QCD non-decoupling effects in fermionic Higgs decays, flavour changing Higgs decays and Yukawa couplings. Some of their phenomenological implications at future colliders are also studied.

description: Near-term studies of Venus-like atmospheres with JWST promise to advance our knowledge of terrestrial planet evolution. However, the remote study of Venus in the Solar System and the ongoing efforts to characterize gaseous exoplanets both suggest that high altitude aerosols could limit observational studies of lower atmospheres, and potentially make it challenging to recognize exoplanets as "Venus-like". To support practical approaches for exo-Venus characterization with JWST, we use Venus-like atmospheric models with self-consistent cloud formation of the seven TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets to investigate the atmospheric depth that can be probed using both transmission and emission spectroscopy. We find that JWST/MIRI LRS secondary eclipse emission spectroscopy in the 6 $μ$m opacity window could probe at least an order of magnitude deeper pressures than transmission spectroscopy, potentially allowing access to the sub-cloud atmosphere for the two hot innermost TRAPPIST-1 planets. In addition, we identify two confounding effects of sulfuric acid aerosols that may carry strong implications for the characterization of terrestrial exoplanets with transmission spectroscopy: (1) there exists an ambiguity between cloud-top and solid surface in producing the observed spectral continuum; and (2) the cloud-forming region drops in altitude with semi-major axis, causing an increase in the observable cloud-top pressure with decreasing stellar insolation. Taken together, these effects could produce a trend of thicker atmospheres observed at lower stellar insolation---a convincing false positive for atmospheric escape and an empirical "cosmic shoreline". However, developing observational and theoretical techniques to identify Venus-like exoplanets and discriminate them from stellar windswept worlds will enable advances in the emerging field of terrestrial comparative planetology.

description: Structure of cold nuclear matter at subnuclear densities for the proton fraction $x=0.5$, 0.3 and 0.1 is investigated by quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations. We demonstrate that the phases with slablike and rodlike nuclei, etc. can be formed dynamically from hot uniform nuclear matter without any assumptions on nuclear shape, and also systematically analyze the structure of cold matter using two-point correlation functions and Minkowski functionals. In our simulations, we also observe intermediate phases, which has complicated nuclear shapes. It is found out that these phases can be characterized as those with negative Euler characteristic. Our result implies the existence of these kinds of phases in addition to the simple ``pasta'' phases in neutron star crusts and supernova inner cores. In addition, we investigate the properties of the effective QMD interaction used in the present work to examine the validity of our results. The resultant energy per nucleon $ε_{n}$ of the pure neutron matter, the proton chemical $μ_{p}^{(0)}$ in pure neutron matter and the nuclear surface tension $E_{\rm surf}$ are generally reasonable in comparison with other nuclear interactions.

description: We revisit the issue of period variation of the recently claimed red nova precursor candidate KIC 9832227. By using the data gathered during the main mission of the Kepler satellite, those collected by ground-based wide-field surveys and other monitoring programs (such as ASAS-SN), we find that the currently available timing data strongly support a model consisting of the known W UMa binary and a distant low-mass companion with an orbital period of ~13.5 years. The period of the W UMa component exhibits a linear period decrease with a pace of (1.10+/-0.05)x10^{-6} days per year, within the range of many other similar systems. This rate of decrease is several orders of magnitude lower than that of V1309 Sco, the first (and so far the only) well-established binary precursor of a nova observed a few years before the outburst. The high-fidelity fit of the timing data and the conformity of the derived minimum mass of (0.38+/-0.02) Msun of the outer companion from these data with the limit posed by the spectroscopic non-detection of this component, are in agreement with the suggested hierarchical nature of this system.

description: Forming high-mass stars have a significant effect on their natal environment. Their feedback pathways, including winds, outflows, and ionising radiation, shape the evolution of their surroundings which impacts the formation of the next generation of stars. They create or reveal dense pillars of gas and dust towards the edges of the cavities they clear. They are modelled in feedback simulations, and the sizes and shapes of the pillars produced are consistent with those observed. However, these models predict measurably different kinematics which provides testable discriminants. Here we present the first ALMA Compact Array (ACA) survey of 13 pillars in Carina, observed in $^{12}$CO, $^{13}$CO and C$^{18}$O J=2-1, and the 230 GHz continuum. The pillars in this survey were chosen to cover a wide range in properties relating to the amount and direction of incident radiation, proximity to nearby irradiating clusters and cloud rims, and whether they are detached from the cloud. With these data, we are able to discriminate between models. We generally find pillar velocity dispersions of $

description: The primary mechanism of optical memristive devices relies on the phase transitions between amorphous-crystalline states. The slow or energy hungry amorphous-crystalline transitions in optical phase-change materials are detrimental to the devices scalability and performance. Leveraging the integrated photonic platform, we demonstrate a single nanosecond pulse triggered nonvolatile and reversible switching between two layered structures of indium selenide (In2Se3). High resolution pair distribution function reveals the detailed atomistic transition pathways between the layered structures. With inter-layer shear glide and isosymmetric phase transition, the switching between alpha and beta structural states contain low re-configurational entropy, allowing reversible switching between layered structures. Broadband refractive index contrast, optical transparency, and volumetric effect in the crystalline-crystalline phase transition are experimentally characterized in molecular beam epitaxy-grown thin films and compared to ab initials calculations. The nonlinear resonator transmission spectra measure an incremental linear loss rate of 3.3 GHz introduced by 1.5 micrometer long In2Se3 covered lay-er, resulting from the combinations of material absorption and scattering.

description:
Background HIV self-testing (HIVST) was recommended to improve HIV testing services. China initiated some of the first HIVST pilots in the world, providing a unique opportunity for implementation research. We aim to investigate HIVST adoption and its following linkage to care among Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM). Methods Data were collected using an online questionnaire distributed on major social media platforms in 2018, one year after HIVST was officially endorsed and allowed for sale. MSM who were at least 16 years old, assigned as male at birth, and ever tested for HIV were eligible. Primary outcome, adoption was defined as ever use of HIVST. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were performed to explore the association between HIVST adoption and sociodemographic and behavioral factors. Linkage to care was also described via the following sequential events as indicators: (1) receiving result after recent test (2), seeking care from healthcare facility if test result was positive or indeterminate, and (3) delayed time before seeking care. Results A total of 540 participants were included with an average age of 27.4 ± 6.6. Most were never married (87.4%) and half completed college (52.2%). Overall, 75.2% had adopted HIVST. Self-test kits were commonly obtained from community-based organizations (54.4%) and from online (46.6%). HIVST adoption was positively associated with having college or higher education (OR = 1.66, 95%CI: 1.07–2.57), and negatively associated with age older than 30 (AOR = 0.52, 95%CI: 0.32–0.84). Adoption was not associated with other socio-demographic or behavioral factors. After receiving HIV-positive or indeterminate results, 25/25 of HIVST adopters sought care while 3 out of 7 (42.9%) non-adopters sought care (p < 0.001). Delays before seeking care were not significantly different between HIVST adopters compared to non-adopters (P = 0.366). Conclusion Many MSM adopted HIVST shortly after its launch. Our findings suggested that HIVST linkage to care is promising among MSM in China. Integration of HIVST with other essential sexual health services is needed.

description: Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune disease with heterogeneous background. FCGR2C mutations were defined in one third of the patients but genetic players have not been fully elucidated yet. Although childhood ITP present as benign, ITP in adulthood is chronic disease with treatment challenges. This study aimed to focus on adult ITP patients using a whole genome genotyping that is valuable approach to identify the responsible genomic regions for the disease. Herein 24 adult primary-refractory for ITP patients were evaluated using HumanCytoSNP12BeadChip,Illumina. Forty-six age and sex matched healthy individuals, and ptients awith nonhematological conditions were analyzed as controls. Identified CNV regions were verified by qRTPCR. T-cell receptor beta and delta (TCRB/TCRG) clonality were assessed by heteroduplex analysis in mosaic cases. Several CNV losses and gains were defined (losses:2q,7q,17q,19p, and gains: 1q,2p,3q,4q,7q,10q,12p,13q,14q,15q,17p,20q,21p,22q,Xp). Mosaic changes of different sizes (0.2-17.77Mb) were identified in five patients and three of them showed clonality. CNV regions that were unique to ITP patients were identified for the first time and among these genes, those related to immune regulation, and cellular trafficking were noteworthy. Conclusion: Identified CNV regions harbor several candidate genes, the functions of which might shed light on the pathogenesis of chronic ITP.

description: Η επαφή μου με το Άγιον Όρος και συγκεκριμένα με την Ιερά Μονή Δοχειαρίου και τους πατέρες της Μονής, μετέστρεψε όλη μου την γλυπτική δημιουργία σε έναν νέο εικαστικό δρόμο. Την αγιοπλαστική. Στην αναζήτηση αυτή καθοριστικό ήταν ένα περιστατικό που συνέβη στο αγιογραφείο της μονής. Εκεί που έκανα γλυπτική σε φυσικό κερί, βλέποντας με ο Ιερομόναχος Γαβριήλ παρατήρησε: εξαιρετική διαδικασία αυτή, κόνοντάς την μπορείτε να προσεύχεστε. Πλαστική- γλυπτική, είναι έννοιες που δεν είναι ιδιαίτερα οικείες στους Χριστιανούς Ορθοδόξους, μολονότι η γλυπτική, ως εργόχειρο είναι πράγματι μια πολύ καλή διαδικασία. Όμως με τις ευλογίες και τις ευχές του Γέροντα Γρηγορίου, Καθηγουμένου της Ιεράς Μονής Δοχειαρίου και με τις συμβουλές και τις ευχές των πατέρων της Μονής, δημιούργησα κατά παραγγελία της Μονής ορισμένα γλυπτά τα οποία μεταβάλλανε τον δημιουργικό μου προσανατολισμό. Ο νέος δρόμος που με οδηγήσανε καθορίζεται μεν από το Βυζαντινό σχέδιο και την αγιογραφία, προσπαθεί όμως να βγάλει τη μορφή στον χώρο, μεταποιώντας την όλη γλυπτική δημιουργία σε μια διαδικασία μετάνοιας και προσευχής. Στις παρακάτω παραγράφους, ιστορούνται τα έργα που έχουν δημιουργηθεί για την Ιερά Μονή Δοχειαρίου, για την Ιερά Μονή Παναγίας Θεοσκεπάστου Σοχού, καθώς και νεότερα έργα όπου πολλά από αυτά, στο παρών τεύχος, παρουσιάζονται ημιτελή ως προπλάσματα σε φυσικό κερί.

description: In the last decade, crowd counting and localization attract much attention of researchers due to its wide-spread applications, including crowd monitoring, public safety, space design, etc. Many Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are designed for tackling this task. However, currently released datasets are so small-scale that they can not meet the needs of the supervised CNN-based algorithms. To remedy this problem, we construct a large-scale congested crowd counting and localization dataset, NWPU-Crowd, consisting of 5,109 images, in a total of 2,133,375 annotated heads with points and boxes. Compared with other real-world datasets, it contains various illumination scenes and has the largest density range (0~20,033). Besides, a benchmark website is developed for impartially evaluating the different methods, which allows researchers to submit the results of the test set. Based on the proposed dataset, we further describe the data characteristics, evaluate the performance of some mainstream state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods, and analyze the new problems that arise on the new data. What's more, the benchmark is deployed at \url{https://www.crowdbenchmark.com/}, and the dataset/code/models/results are available at \url{https://gjy3035.github.io/NWPU-Crowd-Sample-Code/}.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a wide-bandgap van der Waals crystal with a unique combination of properties, including exceptional strength, large oxidation resistance at high temperatures and optical functionalities. Furthermore, in recent years hBN crystals have become the material of choice for encapsulating other 2D crystals in a variety of technological applications, from optoelectronic and tunnelling devices to composites. Monolayer hBN, which has no center of symmetry, has been predicted to exhibit piezoelectric properties, yet experimental evidence is lacking. Here, by using electrostatic force microscopy, we observed this effect as a strain-induced change in the local electric field around bubbles and creases, in agreement with theoretical calculations. No piezoelectricity was found in bilayer and bulk hBN, where the centre of symmetry is restored. These results add piezoelectricity to the known properties of monolayer hBN, which makes it a desirable candidate for novel electromechanical and stretchable optoelectronic devices, and pave a way to control the local electric field and carrier concentration in van der Waals heterostructures via strain. The experimental approach used here also shows a way to investigate the piezoelectric properties of other materials on the nanoscale by using electrostatic scanning probe techniques.

description: The magnetoplasmon spectrum of Landau level transitions in hexagonal boron nitride-encapsulated graphene is explored via infrared transmission magnetospectroscopy, as a function of the filling factor at fixed magnetic field. As the lowest Landau level occupancy is increased from half-filling, a non-monotonic progression of multiple cyclotron resonance peaks is observed, with a single peak evolving into four peaks and back to two, all with linewidths of order 0.5 meV. This provides a novel window on the interplay of electron interactions with broken spin and valley symmetries in the quantum Hall regime. Analysis of the peak energies shows an indirect enhancement of spin gaps below the Fermi energy, a Dirac mass at half-filling that is nearly 50\% larger than when the lowest Landau level is completely full, and a small but clear particle-hole asymmetry. We suggest a key role is played by the boron nitride in enabling interaction-enhanced broken symmetries to be observed in graphene cyclotron resonance.

description: (Abridged) We study the internal color properties of a morphologically selected sample of spheroidal galaxies taken from HST/ACS ERO program of UGC 10214 (``The Tadpole''). By taking advantage of the unprecedented high resolution of the ACS in this very deep dataset we are able to characterize spheroids at sub-arcseconds scales. Using the V_606W and I_814W bands, we construct V-I color maps and extract color gradients for a sample of spheroids at I_814W < 24 mag. We investigate the existence of a population of morphologically classified spheroids which show extreme variation in their internal color properties similar to the ones reported in the HDFs. These are displayed as blue cores and inverse color gradients with respect to those accounted from metallicity variations. Following the same analysis we find a similar fraction of early-type systems (~30%-40%) that show non-homologous internal colors, suggestive of recent star formation activity. We present two statistics to quantify the internal color variation in galaxies and for tracing blue cores, from which we estimate the fraction of non-homogeneous to homogeneous internal colors as a function of redshift up to z<1.2. We find that it can be described as about constant as a function of redshift, with a small increase with redshift for the fraction of spheroids that present strong color dispersions. The implications of a constant fraction at all redshifts suggests the existence of a relatively permanent population of evolving spheroids up to z~1. We discuss the implications of this in the context of spheroidal formation.

description: We develop a theoretical framework to study the influences of coupling asymmetry on the thermoelectrics of a strongly coupled SU($N$) Kondo impurity based on a local Fermi liquid theory. Applying non-equilibrium Keldysh formalism, we investigate charge current driven by the voltage bias and temperature gradient in the strong coupling regime of an asymmetrically coupled SU($N$) quantum impurity. The thermoelectric characterizations are made via non-linear Seebeck effects. We demonstrate that the beyond particle-hole (PH) symmetric SU($N$) Kondo variants are highly desirable with respect to the corresponding PH symmetric setups in order to have significantly improved thermoelectric performance. The greatly enhanced Seebeck coefficients by tailoring the coupling asymmetry of beyond PH symmetric SU($N$) Kondo effects are explored. Apart from presenting the analytical expressions of asymmetry dependent transport coefficients for general SU($N$) Kondo effects, we make a close connection of our findings with the experimentally studied SU(2) and SU(4) Kondo effects in quantum dot nano structures. Seebeck effects associated with the theoretically proposed SU(3) Kondo effects are discussed in detail.

description: Current observational results show that both late-and-early-type galaxies follow tight mass-size planes, on which physical properties such as age, velocity dispersion and metallicities correlate with the scatter on the plane. We study the mass-size plane of galaxies in cosmological hydrodynamical simulations, as a function of velocity dispersion, age, chemical abundances, ellipticity and spin parameters with the aim at assessing to what extent the current cosmological paradigm can reproduce these observations and provide a physical interpretation of them. We select a sample of well-resolved galaxies from the (100 Mpc)^3 simulation of the EAGLE Project. This sample is composed by 508 spheroid-dominated galaxies and 1213 disc-dominated galaxies. The distributions of velocity dispersion, age, metallicity indicators and gradients and spin parameters across the mass-size plane are analysed. Furthermore, we study the relation between shape and kinematic parameters. The results are compared with observations. The mass-weighted ages of the EAGLE galaxies are found to vary along lines of constant velocity dispersion on the mass-size plane, except for galaxies with velocity dispersion larger than aprox 150 km s^(-1) . Negative age gradients tend to be found in extended disc galaxies in agreement with observations. However, the age distributions of early-type galaxies show a larger fraction with inverted radial profiles. The distribution of metallicity gradients does not show any clear dependence on this plane. Galaxies with similar spin parameters (λ) display larger sizes as their dynamical masses increase. Stellar-weighted ages are found to be good proxies for λ in galaxies with low ellipticity (ε).

description: The SiEUGreen project brings together a multi-disciplinary consortium of European and Chinese researchers, technology providers, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), financiers, local and regional authorities and resident communities, to apply novel urban agricultural techniques and new approaches for social engagement and investigate the economic, environmental and social benefits of Urban Agriculture (UA). Environmental, behavioral and economic data will be collected from the showcase communities and “feedback” to the researchers for analysis and improvement. SiEUGreen activities will involve human participants and institutions and their social, cultural, political and economic actions and behavior in generating urban agricultural techniques and waste recycling and reuse methods in selected European and Chinese urban and peri-urban areas. The data type generated from the showcases documenting the social and economic benefits of the SiEUGreen project will be of both qualitative and quantitative nature. SiEUGreen will adhere to the guideline outlined in the FAIR data management in Horizon 2020, andthisdatamanagementplanwill helpresearchpartnersmaketheirresearchdata findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (European Commission, 2016) to ensure that data are properly managed. The SiEUGreen project participates in the Pilot on Open Research Data launched by the European Commission along with the H2020. In open access SiEUGreen project, the partners will publish scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and then selfarchive a version of the article for free public use in the designated repository. This document provides the data management framework for the project. The Data Management Plan (DMP) describes the type of research data that will be collected or generated during the project, how the research data are preserved and re-used and how scientific publications and other articles will be made publicly available, for example through free on-line access. It also provides the general guideline the consortium will follow on data management. The DMP will be updated whenever there is significant changes during the lifespanofthe project. The overview ofthe datatype that will be produced by the project is included in this first version. The next version of the DMP will get into more detail on the specific datasets and describe the practical data management procedure.
