description: We propose a new Stein self-repulsive dynamics for obtaining diversified samples from intractable un-normalized distributions. Our idea is to introduce Stein variational gradient as a repulsive force to push the samples of Langevin dynamics away from the past trajectories. This simple idea allows us to significantly decrease the auto-correlation in Langevin dynamics and hence increase the effective sample size. Importantly, as we establish in our theoretical analysis, the asymptotic stationary distribution remains correct even with the addition of the repulsive force, thanks to the special properties of the Stein variational gradient. We perform extensive empirical studies of our new algorithm, showing that our method yields much higher sample efficiency and better uncertainty estimation than vanilla Langevin dynamics.

description: While linagliptin is the most potent dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitor, its use is limited due to poor bioavailability and the potential risk of pancreatic injury. Here we investigated whether the sustained weekly administration of linagliptin could provide better effect compared to frequent daily oral administration. Type 2 diabetes was induced by feeding rats a high fructose/fat/salt diet followed by STZ injection. Compared to the partial glycemic control achieved with daily oral linagliptin, a weekly subcutaneous injection containing about one-fourth of the oral dose produced superior glycemic control, as evidenced by the 4-week postprandial glucose follow-up and oral glucose tolerance test. This was confirmed by the significant increase in serum insulin in the case of the sustained linagliptin administration. Higher levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine adiponectin and lower triglyceride levels were observed after sustained linagliptin administration compared with daily oral linagliptin. In addition, sustained linagliptin displayed a significant increase in β-cells’ insulin immunoreactivity when compared with daily linagliptin. More reduction in collagen deposition and caspase-3 immunoreactivity in pancreatic tissue were observed in sustained linagliptin compared with oral linagliptin. In conclusion, sustained linagliptin administration provided superior glycemic control, which seems to be mediated by more reduction in pancreatic injury.
SU_L(4) x U(1) model for electroweak unification

description: After some general remarks about SU_L(4) electroweak unification, the model is extended to SU_L(4)xU_X(1) to accomodate fractionally charged quarks. The unification scale is expected to be in TeV region. A right-handed Majorana neutrino along with known lepton are put in the fundamental representation of SU_L(4) with Y_X=0. The see-saw mechanism for neutrino masses and flavor mixing in neutrino sector is a natural feature of the model. The lepton number violating processes can occure through dilepton gauge bosons contained in the model.

Repeating fast radio bursts caused by small bodies orbiting a pulsar or a magnetar

description: Asteroids orbiting into the highly magnetized and highly relativistic wind of a pulsar offer a favourable configuration for repeating fast radio bursts (FRB). The body in direct contact with the wind develops a trail formed of a stationary Alfvén wave, called an \textit{Alfvén wing}. When an element of wind crosses the Alfvén wing, it sees a rotation of the ambient magnetic field that can cause radio-wave instabilities. In the observer's reference frame, the waves are collimated in a very narrow range of directions, and they have an extremely high intensity. A previous work, published in 2014, showed that planets orbiting a pulsar can cause FRB when they pass in our line of sight. We predicted periodic FRB. Since then random FRB repeaters have been discovered. We present an upgrade of this theory where repeaters can be explained by the interaction of smaller bodies with a pulsar wind. Considering the properties of relativistic Alfvén wings attached to a body in the pulsar wind, and taking thermal consideration into account we conduct a parametric study. We find that FRBs, including the Lorimer burst (30 Jy), can be explained by small size pulsar companions (1 to 10 km) between 0.03 and 1 AU from a highly magnetized millisecond pulsar. Some sets of parameters are also compatible with a magnetar. Our model is compatible with the high rotation measure of FRB121102. The bunched timing of the FRBs is the consequence of a moderate wind turbulence. As asteroid belt composed of less than 200 bodies would suffice for the FRB occurrence rate measured with FRB121102. This model, after the present upgrade, is compatible with the properties discovered since its first publication in 2014, when repeating FRB were still unknown. It is based on standard physics, and on common astrophysical objects that can be found in any kind of galaxy. It requires $10^{10}$ times less power than (common) isotropic-emission FRB models.

Information Super-Diffusion on Structured Networks

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study diffusion of information packets on several classes of structured networks. Packets diffuse from a randomly chosen node to a specified destination in the network. As local transport rules we consider random diffusion and an improved local search method. Numerical simulations are performed in the regime of stationary workloads away from the jamming transition. We find that graph topology determines the properties of diffusion in a universal way, which is reflected by power-laws in the transit-time and velocity distributions of packets. With the use of multifractal scaling analysis and arguments of non-extensive statistics we find that these power-laws are compatible with super-diffusive traffic for random diffusion and for improved local search. We are able to quantify the role of network topology on overall transport efficiency. Further, we demonstrate the implications of improved transport rules and discuss the importance of matching (global) topology with (local) transport rules for the optimal function of networks. The presented model should be applicable to a wide range of phenomena ranging from Internet traffic to protein transport along the cytoskeleton in biological cells.

A long walk for justice
Creators: name: Andrés Díaz Pabón, Fabio
Publisher: name: Routledge
Year: 2018

description: This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book recognizes the importance of both retributive and restorative justice practices, but advocates that a more holistic understanding of peacebuilding should transcend dichotomies between these pre-defined categories. Peacebuilding and justice can be exercises of post-colonial thinking. However, even more balanced interpretations of the approaches to peace and justice advanced in the North are unlikely to apply across the South. The promise of peace and justice brought by the transitional justice agreement is tempered by the challenges that lay ahead. Colombia is a country that has sought peace for more than three decades, with multiple attempts involving different actors, approaches, and negotiation schemes, and with differing degrees of success. Inequality and class in Colombia marginalize millions of Colombians on the basis of their accent or skin colour.

description: Breaking the dilemma between small size and room temperature stability is a necessary prerequisite for skyrmion-based information technology. Here we demonstrate by means of rate theory and an atomistic spin Hamiltonian that the stability of isolated skyrmions in ultrathin ferromagnetic films can be enhanced by the concerted variation of magnetic interactions while keeping the skyrmion size unchanged. We predict film systems where the lifetime of sub-10 nm skyrmions can reach years at ambient conditions. The long lifetime of such small skyrmions is due to exceptionally large Arrhenius pre-exponential and the stabilizing effect of the energy barrier is insignificant at room temperature. A dramatic increase in the pre-exponential is achieved thanks to softening of magnon modes of the skyrmion, thereby increasing the entropy of the skyrmion with respect to the transition state for collapse. Increasing the number of skyrmion deformation modes should be a guiding principle for the realization of nanoscale, room-temperature stable skyrmions.

description: We study the cosmological consequences of generic scalar fields like moduli which decay only through gravitationally suppressed interactions. We consider a new production mechanism of gravitinos from moduli decay, which might be more effective than previously known mechanisms, and calculate the final gravitino-to-entropy ratio to compare with the constraints imposed by successful big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) etc., taking possible hadronic decays of gravitinos into account. We find the modulus mass smaller than $\sim 10^4$ TeV is excluded. On the other hand, inflation models with high reheating temperatures $T_{R,\rm inf} \sim 10^{16}$ GeV can be compatible with BBN thanks to the late-time entropy production from the moduli decay if model parameters are appropriately chosen.

description: The SoLid experiment, short for Search for Oscillations with a Lithium-6 detector, is a new generation neutrino experiment which tries to address the key challenges for high precision reactor neutrino measurements at very short distances from a reactor core and with little or no overburden. The primary goal of the SoLid experiment is to perform a precise measurement of the electron antineutrino energy spectrum and flux and to search for very short distance neutrino oscillations as a probe of eV-scale sterile neutrinos. This paper describes the SoLid detection principle, the mechanical design and the construction of the detector. It then reports on the installation and commissioning on site near the BR2 reactor, Belgium, and finally highlights its performance in terms of detector response and calibration.

description: The subject of this paper are two Hopf algebras which are the non-commutative analogues of two different groups of formal power series. The first group is the set of invertible series with the multiplication, while the second group is the set of formal diffeomorphisms with the composition. The motivation to introduce these Hopf algebras comes from the study of formal series with non-commutative coefficients. Invertible series with non-commutative coefficients still form a group, and we interpret the corresponding new non-commutative Hopf algebra as an alternative to the natural Hopf algebra given by the co-ordinate ring of the group, which has the advantage of being functorial in the algebra of coefficients. For the formal diffeomorphisms with non-commutative coefficients, this interpretation fails, because in this case the composition is not associative anymore. However, we show that for the dual non-commutative algebra there exists a natural co-associative co-product defining a non-commutative Hopf algebra. Moreover, we give an explicit formula for the antipode, which represents a non-commutative version of the Lagrange inversion formula, and we show that its coefficients are related to planar binary trees. Then we extend these results to the semi-direct co-product of the previous Hopf algebras, and to series in several variables. Finally, we show how the non-commutative Hopf algebras of formal series are related to some renormalization Hopf algebras, which are combinatorial Hopf algebras motivated by the renormalization in quantum field theory, and to the renormalization functor given by the double tensor algebra on a bi-algebra.

description: Understanding drug behavior within the skin, especially for photosensitive compounds, is crucial for developing effective and safe topical therapies. This study employs Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging (MALDI-MSI) and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to investigate the skin permeation and photostability of selumetinib, a MEK inhibitor used in treating type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF1). The highest amounts of selumetinib in the skin sections were obtained when using the gel formulation, suggesting that it is to be preferred to cream formulations to achieve higher permeation of the drug. Our study also revealed that selumetinib is amenable to photodegradation in ex vivo skin explants, and yields one main degradation product, whose degradation is likely triggered by hydrogen abstraction. MALDI-MSI results showed selumetinib and its degradation product concentrate in skin appendages, indicating these structures might serve as drug reservoirs, potentially prolonging retention and efficacy. This study demonstrates that combining MALDI-MSI with LC/MS-MS can highly contribute to the characterization of the fate of photosensitive compounds in the skin, an essential prerequisite to the development of compound-specific photoprotective measures. It will also pave the way for innovative topical delivery strategies for NF1 treatment.

description: Previous studies have discovered that in a decision making process with a large number of options can result in choice paralysis. Our current study seeks to investigate the relationship between the number of choices and its effect on people’s motivation towards donating to climate change mitigation actions. This experiment consists of three conditions with varying number of options of one, three, and six choices, to find the effect of choices on motivation to donate to a hypothetical $100 towards various climate change actions by measuring the amount of money donated. Results showed that the number of options do influence people’s motivation towards donating. A significant difference was observed while comparing the condition with three donation options to the condition with one option as well as the condition with six options. Our results show that including 3 options might be the optimal amount for people to make decisions on donation. However, results need to be replicated with further experimental designs involving in-person questionnaire and interviews.

description: Scattering resonances play a central role in collision processes in physics and chemistry. They help building an intuitive understanding of the collision dynamics due to the spatial localization of the scattering wavefunctions. For resonances that are localized in the reaction region, located at short separation behind the centrifugal barrier, sharp peaks in the reaction rates are the characteristic signature, observed recently with state-of-the-art experiments in low energy collisions. If, however, the localization occurs outside of the reaction region, mostly the elastic scattering is modified. This may occur due to above barrier resonances, the quantum analogue of classical orbiting. By probing both elastic and inelastic scattering of metastable helium with deuterium molecules in merged beam experiments, we differentiate between the nature of quantum resonances -- tunneling vs above barrier -- and corroborate our findings by calculating the corresponding scattering wavefunctions.

description: The origin of the local population of young, cooling neutron stars is investigated with a population synthesis model taking into account the contribution of neutron stars born in the Gould Belt, in addition to those originating in the Galactic disk. We estimate their emission in the soft X-ray band as a function of distance and age and construct the Log N -- Log S distribution. It is shown that the inclusion of neutron stars from the Gould Belt provides a good fit to the observed Log N -- Log S distribution. As the Sun is situated inside the Gould Belt, one can naturally explain the comparative local overabundance of massive progenitors and can remove the difficulty of the deficit of relatively bright ($\ga 0.1$ ROSAT PSPC cts s$^{-1}$) cooling neutron stars previously reported from models where only neutron stars from the Galactic disk were accounted for.

title: Differences in external match load metrics between professional and semi-professional football players
Creators: name: Watson, Thomas
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This study aimed to investigate the differences in external match load between professional and semi-professional footballers, and also aimed to investigate whether periods of fixture congestion throughout the season had an effect on the external match load of players at either the professional or semi-professional level. This study consisted of data from 51 football players, 21 professional and 30 semi-professional footballers, playing in the 2019/2020 football season. The data collected was obtained via MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) devices, which measured the players’ total distance, high-speed distance, accelerations, decelerations and player load. Once the external match load data was quantified, a comparison between playing levels took place using a univariate ANOVA. A two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to examine if significant differences existed in external match load variables across player performance level (2 levels) and time of the season (3 levels) during periods of time when teams experienced fixture congestion. This study found that professional players travelled significantly greater distances in a 90 minute match (10.93 ± 2.46 vs 9.02 ± 1.56 km respectively; P<0.001). No differences in high-speed distance were observed between playing level (P=0.70), whereas semiprofessional players recorded significantly greater player load value than the professional players (88.6 ± 12.2 vs 68.8 ± 18.9% respectively; P<0.001). Periods of fixture congestion were not found to significantly affect any of the match load variables at either playing level despite the time of the season. In conclusion, neither playing level was found to exhibit a superior level of external match load. The other major finding of this thesis was that fixture congestion did not affect match load. Further research is required to quantify and compare the external match load at the non-elite professional and semi-professional level of football, as these levels of football are largely ignored in this field of literature.
Path integral formulation of the tunneling dynamics of a superfluid Fermi gas in an optical potential

description: To describe the tunneling dynamics of a stack of two-dimensional fermionic superfluids in an optical potential, we derive an effective action functional from a path integral treatment. This effective action leads, in the saddle point approximation, to equations of motion for the density and the phase of the superfluid Fermi gas in each layer. In the strong coupling limit (where bosonic molecules are formed) these equations reduce to a discrete nonlinear Schrodinger equation, where the molecular tunneling amplitude is reduced for large binding energies. In the weak coupling (BCS) regime, we study the evolution of the stacked superfluids and derive an approximate analytical expression for the Josephson oscillation frequency in an external harmonic potential. Both in the weak and intermediate coupling regimes the detection of the Josephson oscillations described by our path integral treatment constitutes experimental evidence for the fermionic superfluid regime.

description: Weakly magnetized, relativistic collisionless shock waves are not only the natural offsprings of relativistic jets in high-energy astrophysical sources, they are also associated with some of the most outstanding displays of energy dissipation through particle acceleration and radiation. Perhaps their most peculiar and exciting feature is that the magnetized turbulence that sustains the acceleration process, and (possibly) the secondary radiation itself, is self-excited by the accelerated particles themselves, so that the phenomenology of these shock waves hinges strongly on the microphysics of the shock. In this review, we draw a status report of this microphysics, benchmarking analytical arguments with particle-in-cell simulations, and extract consequences of direct interest to the phenomenology, regarding in particular the so-called microphysical parameters used in phenomenological studies.

Separation of variables for rational gl(n) spin chains in any compact representation, via fusion, embedding morphism and Backlund flow

description: We propose a way to separate variables in a rational integrable $\mathfrak{gl}(n)$ spin chain with an arbitrary finite-dimensional irreducible representation at each site and with generic twisted periodic boundary conditions. Firstly, we construct a basis that diagonalises a higher-rank version of the Sklyanin B-operator; the construction is based on recursive usage of an embedding of a $\mathfrak{gl}(k)$ spin chain into a $\mathfrak{gl}(k+1)$ spin chain which is induced from a Yangian homomorphism and controlled by dual diagonals of Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns. Then, we show that the same basis can be equivalently constructed by action of Backlund-transformed fused transfer matricies, whence the Bethe wave functions factorise into a product of ascending Slater determinants in Baxter Q-functions. Finally, we construct raising and lowering operators -- the conjugate momenta -- as normal-ordered Wronskian expressions in Baxter Q-operators evaluated at zeros of B -- the separated variables. It is an immediate consequence of the proposed construction that the Bethe algebra comprises the maximal possible number of mutually commuting charges -- a necessary property for Bethe equations to be complete.

description: Discretization of phase space usually nullifies chaos in dynamical systems. We show that if randomness is associated with discretization dynamical chaos may survive and be indistinguishable from that of the original chaotic system, when an entropic, coarse-grained analysis is performed. Relevance of this phenomenon to the problem of quantum chaos is discussed.

Bei dieser Vielfalt geht es nicht nur um die ursprünglichen, durch die verschiedensten landschaftsökologischen Gegebenheiten bedingten Moortypen, sondern auch um die schwerwiegenden Veränderungen, die in den Mooren während der letzten Jahrzehnte infolge tiefgreifender "Meliorationen" und landwirtschaftlicher Intensivnutzung vor sich gegangen sind und die zu einer Vielzahl von negativen Ökologischen (und auch Ökonomischen) Auswirkungen geführt haben.

description: The problem of the quantitative degradation of the performance of a quantum computer due to noisy unitary gates (imperfect external control) is studied. It is shown that quite general conclusions on the evolution of the fidelity can be reached by using the conjecture that the set of states visited by a quantum algorithm can be replaced by the uniform (Haar) ensemble. These general results are tested numerically against quantum computer simulations of two particular periodically driven quantum systems.

description: Eine Veranstaltung der Sektionen I (Geowissenschaften) und V (Naturschutz und Raumordnung) fand – drei Jahre nach der Tagung in Greifswald – wiederum im östlichen Teil Deutschlands statt, dieses Mal im mittleren Erzgebirge, und zwar in Niederlauterstein, einem kleinen, nordöstlich der Stadt Marienberg gelegenen Ort. Sie wurde gemeinsam mit der Sächsischen Akademie für Natur und Umwelt durchgeführt; die Sächsische Landesstiftung Natur und Umwelt, zu der die Akademie gehört, hatte dankenswerterweise beträchtliche Mittel dafür zur Verfügung gestellt. Sachsen gehört mit knapp 100 km2 Moor-boden)-fläche zu den recht moorarmen Bundesländern; im Erzgebirge gibt es jedoch, vor allem in den Kammlagen, sehr zahlreiche Moore. Im deutschen Teil des Gebirges nehmen bereits die als Naturschutzgebiete ausgewiesenen Hochmoore gegen 10 km2 ein, die Hochmoor-Gesamtﬂäche dürfte hier jedoch noch um einiges größer sein; die Moorﬂäche im tschechischen Teil des Erzgebirges beläuft sich auf etwa 40 km2.

description: If a point mass moves through a uniform gas cloud, at what rate does it accrete material? This is the question studied by Bondi, Hoyle and Lyttleton. This paper draws together the work performed in this area since the problem was first studied. Time has shown that, despite the simplifications made, Bondi, Hoyle and Lyttleton made quite accurate predictions for the accretion rate. Bondi--Hoyle--Lyttleton accretion has found application in many fields of astronomy, and these are also discussed.

description: We study a non-linear dynamical system on networks inspired by the pitchfork bifurcation normal form. The system has several interesting interpretations: as an interconnection of several pitchfork systems, a gradient dynamical system and the dominating behaviour of a general class of non-linear dynamical systems. The equilibrium behaviour of the system exhibits a global bifurcation with respect to the system parameter, with a transition from a single constant stationary state to a large range of possible stationary states. Our main result classifies the stability of (a subset of) these stationary states in terms of the effective resistances of the underlying graph; this classification clearly discerns the influence of the specific topology in which the local pitchfork systems are interconnected. We further describe exact solutions for graphs with external equitable partitions and characterize the basins of attraction on tree graphs. Our technical analysis is supplemented by a study of the system on a number of prototypical networks: tree graphs, complete graphs and barbell graphs. We describe a number of qualitative properties of the dynamics on these networks, with promising modeling consequences.
