description: One of the major barriers that have restricted successful use of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells in the treatment of solid tumors is an unfavorable tumor microenvironment (TME). We engineered CAR-T cells targeting carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) to secrete anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody (mAb), termed immune-restoring (IR) CAR G36-PDL1. We tested CAR-T cells in a humanized clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) orthotopic mouse model with reconstituted human leukocyte antigen (HLA) partially matched human leukocytes derived from fetal CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and bearing human ccRCC skrc-59 cells under the kidney capsule. G36-PDL1 CAR-T cells, haploidentical to the tumor cells, had a potent antitumor effect compared to those without immune-restoring effect. Analysis of the TME revealed that G36-PDL1 CAR-T cells restored active antitumor immunity by promoting tumor-killing cytotoxicity, reducing immunosuppressive cell components such as M2 macrophages and exhausted CD8+ T cells, and enhancing T follicular helper (Tfh)-B cell crosstalk.
Incremental Transfer Learning in Two-pass Information Bottleneck based Speaker Diarization System for Meetings

description: The two-pass information bottleneck (TPIB) based speaker diarization system operates independently on different conversational recordings. TPIB system does not consider previously learned speaker discriminative information while diarizing new conversations. Hence, the real time factor (RTF) of TPIB system is high owing to the training time required for the artificial neural network (ANN). This paper attempts to improve the RTF of the TPIB system using an incremental transfer learning approach where the parameters learned by the ANN from other conversations are updated using current conversation rather than learning parameters from scratch. This reduces the RTF significantly. The effectiveness of the proposed approach compared to the baseline IB and the TPIB systems is demonstrated on standard NIST and AMI conversational meeting datasets. With a minor degradation in performance, the proposed system shows a significant improvement of 33.07% and 24.45% in RTF with respect to TPIB system on the NIST RT-04Eval and AMI-1 datasets, respectively.

description: Lattice Monte-Carlo simulations were performed to study the equilibrium ordering in a two-dimensional nematic system with quenched random disorder. When the disordering field, which competes against the aligning effect of the Frank elasticity, is sufficiently strong, the long-range correlation of the director orientation is found to decay as a simple exponential, Exp[-r/x]. The correlation length {x} itself also decays exponentially with increasing strength of the disordering field. This result represents a new type of behavior, distinct from the Gaussian and power-law decays predicted by some theories.

description: Planets and moons in our Solar System have strongly peaked reflected light phase curves at opposition. In this work, we produce a modified reflected light phase curve model and use it to fit the Cassini phase curves of Jupiter and Enceladus. This opposition effect is caused by shadow hiding (SH; particles or rough terrain cast shadows which are not seen at zero phase) and coherent backscattering (CB; incoming light constructively interferes with outgoing light). We find tentative evidence for CB preference in Jupiter compared to SH, and no evidence of preference in Enceladus. We show that the full-width half-maximum (FWHM) of Jupiter's opposition peak is an order of magnitude larger than that of Enceladus and conclude that this could be used as a solid-surface indicator for exoplanets. We investigate this and show that modelling the opposition peak FWHM in solid-surface exoplanets would be unfeasible with JWST or the Future Habitable Worlds Observatory due to the very large signal-to-noise required over a small phase range.

We show that the effective action of four-dimensional quantum geometry (4DQG) satisfying integrability has a manifestly diffeomorphism invariant and regularization scheme-independent form. We then generalize the arguments to six dimensions and propose a model of 6DQG. A hypothesized form of the 6DQG effective action is given.

Assessing technical and cost efficiency of research activities: A case study of the Italian university system

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Digital Libraries (cs.DL)

description: This paper employs data envelopment analysis (DEA) to assess both technical and cost efficiency of research activities of the Italian university system. Differently from both peer review and the top-down discipline-invariant bibliographic approaches used elsewhere, a bottom-up bibliometric methodology is applied. Publications are assigned first to authors and then to one of nine scientific and technical university disciplinary areas. Inputs are specified in terms of the numbers of full, associate and assistant professors and outputs as the number of publications, contributions to publications and their scientific impact as variously measured across the disciplines included. DEA is undertaken cross-sectionally using the averages of these inputs and outputs over the period 2001-2003. The results typically show much variation in the rankings of the disciplinary areas within and across universities, depending on the efficiency indicator employed.

description: Recent years have witnessed the advances of e-money systems such as Bitcoin, PayPal and various forms of stored-value cards. This paper adopts a mechanism design approach to identify some essential features of different payment systems that implement and improve the constrained optimal resource allocation. We find that, compared to cash, emoney technologies allowing limited participation, limited transferability and non-zerosum transfers can help mitigate fundamental frictions and enhance social welfare, if they satisfy conditions in terms of parameters such as trade frequency and bargaining powers. An optimally designed e-money system exhibits realistic arrangements including nonlinear pricing, cross-subsidization and positive interchange fees even when the technologies incur no costs. Regulations such as a cap on interchange fees (à la the Dodd- Frank Act) can distort the optimal mechanism and reduce welfare.
description: Ces dernières années ont été marquées par la percée des systèmes de monnaie électronique comme Bitcoin, PayPal et divers types de cartes prépayées. Nous adoptons une démarche axée sur la conception de mécanismes pour repérer certains des éléments essentiels de différents systèmes de paiement qui permettent sous certaines contraintes d’opérer une répartition optimale des ressources et de l’améliorer. D’après nos conclusions, les technologies des systèmes de monnaie électronique qui prévoient des participations limitées, des possibilités de transfert restreintes et des transferts à somme non nulle peuvent, comparativement à l’argent comptant, contribuer à réduire les frictions fondamentales et à accroître le bien-être social, dans la mesure où elles respectent certaines conditions exprimées sous forme de paramètres tels la fréquence des transactions et les pouvoirs de négociation. Un système optimisé de monnaie électronique est assorti de modalités réalistes, parmi lesquelles la tarification non linéaire, l’interfinancement et les frais d’interchange positifs, même si les technologies impliquées n’occasionnent pas de coûts. L’instauration d’une réglementation, comme l’imposition d’un plafond pour les frais d’interchange (sur le modèle de la loi Dodd-Frank), peut altérer le mécanisme optimal et réduire le bien-être.

description: We continue our program of mapping data of 4D $\mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal field theories (SCFTs) onto observables of 2D chiral rational conformal field theories (RCFTs) by revisiting an infinite set of strongly coupled Argyres-Douglas (AD) SCFTs and their associated logarithmic 2D chiral algebras. First, we turn on discrete flavor fugacities (for continuous flavor symmetries) in a known correspondence between certain unrefined characters of these logarithmic theories and unrefined characters of a set of unitary 2D chiral RCFTs. Motivated by this discussion, we then study 4D Higgs branch renormalization group flows (i.e., flows activated by vevs for which only $su(2)_R\subset su(2)_R\times u(1)_R$ is spontaneously broken) emanating from our AD theories from the point of view of the unitary 2D theories and find some surprises. In particular, we argue that certain universal pieces of the topological data underlying the 2D chiral algebra representations associated with the 4D infrared (IR) theory can be computed, via Galois conjugation, in the topological quantum field theory (TQFT) underlying the unitary ultraviolet (UV) chiral RCFT. The mapping of this topological data from UV to IR agrees with the fact that, in our theories, the moduli spaces we study consist of free hypermultiplets at generic points if and only if the UV TQFT is a theory of abelian anyons.

description: We present a phase-field model for the dynamics of the interface between two inmiscible fluids with arbitrary viscosity contrast in a rectangular Hele-Shaw cell. With asymptotic matching techniques we check the model to yield the right Hele-Shaw equations in the sharp-interface limit and compute the corrections to these equations to first order in the interface thickness. We also compute the effect of such corrections on the linear dispersion relation of the planar interface. We discuss in detail the conditions on the interface thickness to control the accuracy and convergence of the phase-field model to the limiting Hele-Shaw dynamics. In particular, the convergence appears to be slower for high viscosity contrasts.

description: We analyze data from 2005 through 2009 that uniquely identify categories of traders to assess how speculators such as hedge funds and swap dealers relate to volatility and price changes. Examining various subperiods where price trends are strong, we find little evidence that speculators destabilize financial markets. To the contrary, hedge funds facilitate price discovery by trading with contemporaneous returns while serving to reduce volatility. Swap dealer activity, however, is largely unrelated to both contemporaneous returns and volatility. Our evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that hedge funds provide valuable liquidity and largely serve to stabilize futures markets.
description: Les auteurs analysent des données de la période 2005-2009, qui distinguent de façon unique les catégories d’opérateurs, afin d’étudier les relations qui existent entre les activités des spéculateurs (tels les fonds spéculatifs et les opérateurs sur contrats de swap) et la volatilité et mouvements des prix. En examinant diverses sous-périodes où les prix suivaient des tendances marquées, ils constatent qu’à peu près rien n’indique que les spéculateurs déstabilisent les marchés financiers. Au contraire, les fonds spéculatifs – dont les opérations reposent sur des rendements contemporains – favoriseraient la découverte des prix et contribueraient à réduire la volatilité. Les activités des opérateurs sur contrats de swap, en revanche, ne semblent présenter aucun lien avec les rendements contemporains et la volatilité. Ces résultats cadrent avec l’hypothèse selon laquelle les fonds spéculatifs sont d’importants fournisseurs de liquidités et jouent un grand rôle dans la stabilisation des marchés de contrats à terme.

description: How many times does a human have to drive through the same area to become familiar with it? To begin with, we might first build a mental model of our surroundings. Upon revisiting this area, we can use this model to extrapolate to new unseen locations and imagine their appearance. Based on this, we propose an approach where an agent is capable of modelling new environments after a single visitation. To this end, we introduce "Deep Imagination", a combination of classical Visual-based Monte Carlo Localisation and deep learning. By making use of a feature embedded 3D map, the system can "imagine" the view from any novel location. These "imagined" views are contrasted with the current observation in order to estimate the agent's current location. In order to build the embedded map, we train a deep Siamese Fully Convolutional U-Net to perform dense feature extraction. By training these features to be generic, no additional training or fine tuning is required to adapt to new environments. Our results demonstrate the generality and transfer capability of our learnt dense features by training and evaluating on multiple datasets. Additionally, we include several visualizations of the feature representations and resulting 3D maps, as well as their application to localisation.

description: A nonuniform system is considered consisting of two phases with different densities of particles. At each given time the distribution of the phases in space is chaotic: each phase filling a set of regions with random shapes and locations. A chaotic diffusion process intermixes these regions by varying their shapes and locations in a random way. To investigate the statistical properties of such a system, it is exemplified by a lattice-gas model. Conditions are analysed when this chaotic lattice-gas model can become thermodynamically more stable than the usual model describing a pure one-phase system.

description: We investigate a simple model of dry friction based on extremal dynamics of asperities. At small velocities, correlations develop between the asperities, whose range becomes infinite in the limit of infinitely slow driving, where the system is self-organized critical. This collective phenomenon leads to effective aging of the asperities and results in velocity dependence of the friction force in the form $F\sim 1- \exp(-1/v)$.

description: This research explores teachers’ perceptions of a blended professional development course at a Hong Kong university. This course supports teachers’ knowledge and application of blended learning and teaching approaches, and follows teachers’ inquiry and reflection of their blended learning experience to support student learning. Few studies have investigated teachers’ perceptions of blended professional development courses to support their understanding and implementation of blended learning. Addressing this gap, this qualitative research uses the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework as its theoretical lens. Teachers’ perceptions are explored through data combining aspects of blended course designs and related experiences. This data includes participants’ interview transcripts, learning journals, commentaries and reflections via Pecha Kucha presentation slides. Applying thematic and image-theme analysis on the data collected provides a multimodal representation of teachers’ experiences of blended learning including their reflective practice through inquiry based learning. Findings suggest evidence connecting to the CoI three presences: social presence; teaching presence and cognitive presence. These findings are complemented and presented metaphorically through a Confucian proverb to acknowledge the study’s Asian context. This study contributes to the knowledge of blended learning approaches ii for professional development courses and how these act as an effective means to build teachers’ knowledge and competence in blended learning. The data also reveal the importance of providing meaningful tasks for teachers to experience the benefits and challenges as online learners. The effectiveness of these tasks is further evidenced when teachers implement their blended learning designs through inquiry and peer-based collaborations. The study also identifies the use of image-based reflection as an useful approach to understand and support reflection in teachers’ continuing professional development. The study recommends further research targeting blended professional development for teachers. These findings can inform teacher training and staff development in relation to blended learning design and implementation.

description: The inner product provides a conceptually and algorithmically simple method for calculating the comoving distance between two cosmological objects given their redshifts, right ascension and declination, and arbitrary constant curvature. The key to this is that just as a distance between two points `on' the surface of the ordinary 2-sphere ${\cal S}^2$ is simply an arc-length (angle multiplied by radius) in ordinary Euclidean 3-space ${\cal E}^3$, the distance between two points `on' a 3-sphere ${\cal S}^3$ (a 3-hyperboloid ${\cal H}^3$) is simply an `arc-length' in Euclidean 4-space ${\cal E}^4$ (Minkowski 4-space ${\cal M}^4$), i.e. an `hyper-angle' multiplied by the curvature radius of the 3-sphere (3-hyperboloid).

description: We discuss toy models where supersymmetry is broken due to non-vanishing time-varying vacuum expectation value of the inflaton field during preheating. We discuss the production of inflatino the superpartner of inflaton due to vacuum fluctuations and then we argue that they do not survive until nucleosynthesis and decay along with the inflaton to produce a thermal bath after preheating. Thus the only relevant remnant is the helicity \pm 3/2 gravitinos which can genuinely cause problem to nucleosynthesis.

description: The incidence of extramural collaboration in academic research activities is increasing as a result of various factors. These factors include policy measures aimed at fostering partnership and networking among the various components of the research system, policies which are in turn justified by the idea that knowledge sharing could increase the effectiveness of the system. Over the last two decades, the scientific community has also stepped up activities to assess the actual impact of collaboration intensity on the performance of research systems. This study draws on a number of empirical analyses, with the intention of measuring the effects of extramural collaboration on research performance and, indirectly, verifying the legitimacy of policies that support this type of collaboration. The analysis focuses on the Italian academic research system. The aim of the work is to assess the level of correlation, at institutional level, between scientific productivity and collaboration intensity as a whole, both internationally and with private organizations. This will be carried out using a bibliometric type of approach, which equates collaboration with the co-authorship of scientific publications.
title: Credit Conditions and Consumption, House Prices and Debt: What Makes Canada Different?

description: There is widespread agreement that, in the United States, higher house prices raise consumption via collateral or possibly wealth effects. The presence of similar channels in Canada would have important implications for monetary policy transmission. We trace the impact of shifts in non-price household credit conditions through joint estimation of a system of error-correction equations for Canadian aggregate consumption, house prices and mortgage debt. We find strong evidence that, after controlling for income and household portfolios, easier credit conditions raise house prices, debt and consumption. However, unlike in the United States, housing collateral effects on consumption are absent. Given credit conditions, rising house prices increase the mortgage down-payment requirement and reduce consumption, although there is evidence for some attenuation of this effect over the 2000s. We also find that high and rising levels of both house prices and debt since the late-1990s can be mostly explained by movements in incomes, housing supply, mortgage interest rates and credit conditions, suggesting that the outlook for house prices and debt could depend mainly on the future paths of these variables.
description: Il est communément admis qu’aux États-Unis, une hausse des prix des logements induit un accroissement de la consommation par le biais d’effets de garantie, et peut-être de richesse. Or, l’existence de tels canaux au Canada aurait des conséquences considérables pour la transmission de la politique monétaire. Nous retraçons les effets de variations des modalités non tarifaires du crédit à la consommation, grâce à l’estimation simultanée d’un système d’équations à correction d’erreurs de la consommation globale, des prix des logements et de la dette hypothécaire intérieurs. Notre analyse, qui tient compte des effets du revenu et des portefeuilles des ménages, nous permet de conclure qu’un assouplissement des conditions du crédit fait augmenter les prix des logements, la dette et la consommation. Toutefois, contrairement à ce qui est observé aux États-Unis, des effets de garantie immobilière ne se font pas sentir sur la consommation au Canada. Dans des conditions de crédit données, le renchérissement des logements resserre les exigences de mise de fond des prêteurs hypothécaires et réduit la consommation, quoique l’on note des signes d’atténuation de cet effet dans les années 2000. Nous constatons en outre que les niveaux élevés et croissants des prix des logements et de la dette des ménages depuis la fin des années 1990 peuvent en grande partie s’expliquer par des variations des revenus, de l’offre de logements, des taux d’intérêt hypothécaires et des conditions du crédit, ce qui donne à penser que les perspectives d’évolution des prix des logements et de la dette pourraient dépendre surtout de la trajectoire future de ces variables.
Effects of resonant tunneling in electromagnetic wave propagation through a polariton gap

description: We consider tunneling of electromagnetic waves through a polariton band gap of a 1-D chain of atoms. We analytically show that a defect embedded in the structure gives rise to the resonance transmission at the frequency of a local polariton state associated with the defect. Numerical Monte-Carlo simulations are used to examine properties of the electromagnetic band arising inside the polariton gap due to finite concentration of defects.

description: A new measurement technique for investigation of vortex dynamics is introduced. The distribution of the transport current across a crystal is derived by a sensitive measurement of the self-induced magnetic field of the transport current. We are able to clearly mark where the flow of the transport current is characterized by bulk pinning, surface barrier, or a uniform current distribution. One of the novel results is that in BSCCO crystals most of the vortex liquid phase is affected by surface barriers resulting in a thermally activated apparent resistivity. As a result the standard transport measurements in BSCCO do not probe the dynamics of vortices in the bulk, but rather measure surface barrier properties.

description: The optical turbulence above Dome C in winter is mainly concentrated in the first tens of meters above the ground. Properties of this so-called surface layer (SL) were investigated during the period 2007-2012 by a set of sonics anemometers placed on a 45 m high tower. We present the results of this long-term monitoring of the refractive index structure constant Cn2 within the SL, and confirm its thickness of 35m. We give statistics of the contribution of the SL to the seeing and coherence time. We also investigate properties of large scale structure functions of the temperature and show evidence of a second inertial zone at kilometric spatial scales.
