description: In this article we present a general security strategy for quantum secret sharing (QSS) protocols based on the HBB scheme presented by Hillery, Bužek and Berthiaume [Phys. Rev A \textbf{59}, 1829 (1999)]. We focus on a generalization of the HBB protocol to $n$ communication parties thus including $n$-partite GHZ states. We show that the multipartite version of the HBB scheme is insecure in certain settings and impractical when going to large $n$. To provide security for such QSS schemes in general we use the framework presented by some of the authors [M. Huber, F. Minert, A. Gabriel, B. C. Hiesmayr, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{104}, 210501 (2010)] to detect certain genuine $n$ partite entanglement between the communication parties. In particular, we present a simple inequality which tests the security.

title:  The role of an addictive tendency towards food and patterns of body fat distribution in obesity and metabolic health
Creators: name: Nelder, Matthew
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2020

description: Food addiction (FA) is a contributing factor to obesity. Individuals with similar total body fat (BF) %, exhibit a large amount of heterogeneity in how BF is distributed. Certain BF distribution (BFD) patterns produce different outcomes regarding metabolic health. Little is known about how FA influences BFD and metabolic profiles. The study was designed to evaluate the correlation between FA symptom counts and metabolic characteristics, the correlation between FA symptoms and BFD patterns with emphasis on central obesity and Visceral fat (VF), and the role of android fat (AF) in women’s metabolic health. Data from the CODING study was used for analysis. FA symptoms are correlated with HOMA-β, triglycerides (TG), inversely correlated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in men and are correlated with TG in post-menopausal women. FA symptom counts were also associated with central obesity markers in men and women, including trunk fat (TF) and VF. Women exhibited slightly stronger correlations for all BFD measures except for VF and AF than in men. AF to GF ratio (AGR) affected metabolic characteristics and metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk in women. When separated into AGR tertiles, women in each tertile differed significantly in levels of insulin, glucose, TG, HDL, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), total cholesterol (TC), blood pressure (BP), and waist circumference (WC). Women in the top tertile exhibited higher levels of HOMA-IR and HOMA-β. When women in the top AGR quartile, matched by age and body mass index (BMI) with a control group while controlling for VF, were 2.4x more likely to have MetS. In conclusion, FA symptoms exhibit correlations with markers of metabolic disturbance in men and to a smaller degree in women. FA symptoms are also correlated with central obesity in men and women. Women with high levels of AF are at increased risk of developing MetS when compared to women of similar age and BMI.

description: Clustering passive particles by active agents is a promising route for fabrication of colloidal structures. Here, we report the dynamic clustering of micrometric beads in a suspension of motile bacteria. We characterize the coarsening dynamics for various bead sizes, surface fractions and bacterial concentrations. We show that the time scale $τ$ for the onset of clustering is governed by the time of first encounter of diffusing beads. At large time ($t \gg τ$), we observe a robust cluster growth as $t^{1/3}$, similar to the Ostwald ripening mechanism. From bead tracking measurements, we extract the short-range bacteria-induced attractive force at the origin of this clustering.

description: In this work, we scrutinize the consistency of spacetime homogeneous Gödel-type metrics within $f(R,Q,P)$ theories of gravity for well-motivated matter sources. As it is well known, such geometries allow for causality violation. We provide general conditions to engender completely causal solutions in a manner completely different from general relativity. We take some specific models, for instance, $f(R,Q,P)=R -\dfrac{μ^{4n+2}}{\left(a R^2+b Q+c P\right)^n}$, to illustrate the general results. Notably, we also find an unusual completely causal vacuum solution in the presence of a non-trivial cosmological constant which corresponds to the case $m^2=4ω^2$.

description: We return to the question of how the choice of stabilizer generators affects the preservation of information on structures whose degenerate ground state encodes a classical redundancy code. Controlled-not gates are used to transform the stabilizer Hamiltonian into a Hamiltonian consisting of uncoupled single spins and/or pairs of spins. This transformation allows us to obtain an analytical partition function and derive closed form equations for the relative magnetization and susceptibility. These equations are in agreement with the numerical results presented in [arXiv:0907.0394v1] for finite size systems. Analytical solutions show that there is no finite critical temperature, Tc=0, for all of the memory structures in the thermodynamic limit. This is in contrast to the previously predicted finite critical temperatures based on extrapolation. The mismatch is a result of the infinite system being a poor approximation even for astronomically large finite size systems, where spontaneous magnetization still arises below an apparent finite critical temperature. We extend our analysis to the canonical stabilizer Hamiltonian. Interestingly, Hamiltonians with two-body interactions have a higher apparent critical temperature than the many-body Hamiltonian.

Dispersion relations for hadronic light-by-light scattering in triangle kinematics

description: We present a new strategy for the dispersive evaluation of the hadronic light-by-light contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon $a_μ$. The new approach directly applies in the kinematic limit relevant for $a_μ$: one of the photons is treated as an external electromagnetic field with vanishing momentum, so that the kinematics corresponds to a triangle. We derive expressions for the relevant single-particle intermediate states, as well as the tensor decompositions of the two-pion sub-processes that appear in addition to those needed in the established dispersive approach. The existing approach is based on a set of dispersion relations for the hadronic light-by-light tensor in four-point kinematics. At present it is not known how to consistently include in this framework resonant intermediate states of spin 2 or larger, due to the appearance of kinematic singularities that can be traced back to the redundancy of the tensor decomposition. We show that our new approach circumvents this problem and enables dispersion relations in the limit of triangle kinematics that are manifestly free from kinematic singularities, paving the way towards a data-driven evaluation of all relevant exclusive hadronic intermediate states.

Voter models and external influence
Creators: name: Majmudar, Jimit
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Opinions, and subsequently opinion dynamics, depend not just on interactions among individuals, but also on external influences such as the mass media. The dependence on local interactions, however, has received considerably more attention. In this work, we extend the classical voter model, the biased voter model, and the threshold voter model to include external influences. We study the new models both analytically and computationally, and we show that some of the new models can be understood after employing diffusion approximations and mean field approximations. We derive results pertaining to the probability of reaching consensus on a particular opinion and also the expected consensus time for the different models. We find that although including an external influence leads a faster consensus in general, this effect is more pronounced in the classical voter model as compared to the threshold voter model. Some of our findings suggest the potential importance of “macro-level” phenomena such as the external influences as compared to the “micro-level” local interactions, in modelling opinion dynamics.
Measurement of Event Shapes in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at Center-of-Mass Energy 1.96 TeV

description: A study of event shape observables in proton-antiproton collisions at 1.96 TeV is presented. The data for this analysis were recorded by the CDF II detector at the Tevatron collider. The variables studied are the transverse thrust and thrust minor, both defined in the plane perpendicular to the beam direction. The observables are measured using energies from unclustered calorimeter cells. In addition to studies of the differential distributions, we present the dependence of event shape mean values on the leading jet transverse energy. Data are compared with pythia Tune A and to resummed parton level predictions that were matched to fixed order results at NLO accuracy (NLO+NLL). Predictions from pythia Tune A agree fairly well with the data. However, the underlying event contributes significantly to these observables, making it difficult to make direct comparisons to the NLO+NLL predictions, which do not account for the underlying event. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce a new observable, a weighted difference of the mean values of the thrust and thrust minor, which is less sensitive to the underlying event, allowing for a comparison with NLO+NLL. Both pythia Tune A and the NLO+NLL calculations agree well within the 20% theoretical uncertainty with the data for this observable, indicating that perturbative QCD successfully describes shapes of the hadronic final states.

description: Detecting stochastic background radiation of cosmological origin is an exciting possibility for current and future gravitational-wave (GW) detectors. However, distinguishing it from other stochastic processes, such as instrumental noise and astrophysical backgrounds, is challenging. It is even more delicate for the space-based GW observatory LISA since it cannot correlate its observations with other detectors, unlike today's terrestrial network. Nonetheless, with multiple measurements across the constellation and high accuracy in the noise level, detection is still possible. In the context of GW background detection, previous studies have assumed that instrumental noise has a known, possibly parameterized, spectral shape. To make our analysis robust against imperfect knowledge of the instrumental noise, we challenge this crucial assumption and assume that the single-link interferometric noises have an arbitrary and unknown spectrum. We investigate possible ways of separating instrumental and GW contributions by using realistic LISA data simulations with time-varying arms and second-generation time-delay interferometry. By fitting a generic spline model to the interferometer noise and a power-law template to the signal, we can detect GW stochastic backgrounds up to energy density levels comparable with fixed-shape models. We also demonstrate that we can probe a region of the GW background parameter space that today's detectors cannot access.

description: First derivatives of the Whittaker function $\mathrm{M}_{κ,μ}\left(x\right) $ with respect to the parameters are calculated. Using the confluent hypergeometric function, these derivarives can be expressed as infinite sums of quotients of the digamma and gamma functions. Also, it is possible to obtain these parameter derivatives in terms of finite and infinite integrals with integrands containing elementary functions (products of algebraic, exponential and logarithmic functions) from the integral representation of $\mathrm{M}_{κ,μ}\left( x\right) $. These infinite sums and integrals can be expressed in closed-form for particular values of the parameters. For this purpose, we have obtained the parameter derivative of the incomplete gamma function in closed-form. As an application, reduction formulas for parameter derivatives of the confluent hypergeometric function has been derived, as well as some finite and infinite integrals containing products of algebraic, exponential, logarithmic and Bessel functions. Finally, some reduction formulas for the Whittaker functions $\mathrm{M}_{κ,μ}\left( x\right) $ and integral Whittaker functions $\mathrm{Mi}_{κ,μ}\left( x\right) $ and $\mathrm{mi}_{κ,μ}\left( x\right) $ are calculated.
The role of Pannexin 2 in mitochondrial functions and cell death
Creators: name: Le Vasseur, Maxence
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Pannexins constitute a small family of membrane channels homologous to the invertebrate gap junction proteins. Three distinct isoforms, called Panx1, Panx2, and Panx3, are expressed alongside connexins in chordates. Unlike connexins, pannexins do not connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells but function as unitary channels regulating the exchange of ions and small molecules between the cytoplasm and extracellular milieu. The biochemical properties and functions of Panx1 and Panx3 channels have been investigated, but our understanding on Panx2 channels has progressed at a much slower pace. The first objective of this thesis was to comprehensively map the expression and distribution of Panx2 protein in mammalian tissues. Prior to this work, Panx2 distribution had been studied exclusively by analyzing the expression of its transcript which was found to be largely restricted to the central nervous system (CNS). In this thesis, Panx2 mRNA and protein levels were analyzed in different tissues and Panx2 transcriptional activity was found to poorly predict Panx2 protein abundance. Panx2 protein levels were lower in nervous tissues although transcriptional analysis showed disproportionately high Panx2 mRNA levels in the CNS. Furthermore, endogenous Panx2 channels were found to be sequestered within the endomembrane system of the cell. The second objective focused on characterizing the subcellular localization and biological function of Panx2 channels. Using subcellular fractionation, it was determined that Panx2 co-fractionates with mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) markers thereby suggesting that Panx2-containing compartments can associate, at least transiently, with the ER and mitochondria. The analysis of Panx2 dynamics in living cells combined with immunogold electron microscopy confirmed that Panx2 is not randomly distributed within the cytoplasm but preferentially localizes at membrane contact sites called mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) which physically and functionally tether the ER to mitochondria. Finally, the biological function of Panx2 was partially elucidated by showing that Panx2 expression is modulated by the energetic requirements of the cell and can regulate apoptosis.

I present selected results for different isospin, spin and parity combinations of the individual B mesons mainly focusing on those channels relevant to determine, whether two B mesons may form a bound tetraquark state.

description: The generating function of energy counting statistics is derived for phononic junction systems. It is expressed in terms of the contour-ordered self-energy of the lead with shifted arguments, $Σ^A(τ, τ') = Σ_L\bigl(τ+\hbar x(τ), τ' + \hbar x(τ')\bigr) - Σ_L(τ, τ')$, where $Σ_L(τ,τ')$ is the usual contour-ordered self-energy of the left lead. The cumulants of the energy transferred in a given time $t_M$ from the lead to the center is obtained by taking derivatives. A transient result of the first four cumulants of a graphene junction is presented. It is found that measurements cause the energy to flow into the lead.

Neutrinoless double beta decay in Left-Right symmetric model with double seesaw mechanism

description: We discuss a left-right (L-R) symmetric model with the double seesaw mechanism at the TeV scale generating Majorana masses for the active left-handed (LH) flavour neutrinos $ν_{αL}$ and the heavy right-handed (RH) neutrinos $N_{βR}$, $α,β= e,μ,τ$, which in turn mediate lepton number violating processes, including neutrinoless double beta decay. The Higgs sector is composed of two Higgs doublets $H_L$, $H_R$, and a bi-doublet $Φ$. The fermion sector has the usual for the L-R symmetric models quarks and leptons, along with three $SU(2)$ singlet fermion $S_{γL}$. The choice of bare Majorana mass term for these sterile fermions induces large Majorana masses for the heavy RH neutrinos leading to two sets of heavy Majorana particles $N_j$ and $S_k$, $j,k=1,2,3$, with masses $m_{N_j} \ll m_{S_k}$. Working with a specific version of the model in which the $ν_{αL} - N_{βR}$ and the $N_{βR} - S_{γL}$ Dirac mass terms are diagonal, and assuming that $m_{N_j} \sim (1 - 1000)$ GeV and ${\rm max}(m_{S_k}) \sim (1 - 10)$ TeV, $m_{N_j} \ll m_{S_k}$, we study in detail the new ``non-standard'' contributions to the $0νββ$ decay amplitude and half-life arising due to the exchange of virtual $N_j$ and $S_k$. We find that in both cases of NO and IO light neutrino mass spectra, these contributions are strongly enhanced and are dominant at relatively small values of the lightest neutrino mass $m_{1(3)} \sim (10^{-4} - 10^{-2})$ eV over the light Majorana neutrino exchange contribution. In large part of the parameter space, the predictions of the model for the $0νββ$ decay generalised effective Majorana mass and half-life are within the sensitivity range of the planned next generation of neutrinoless double beta decay experiments LEGEND-200 (LEGEND-1000), nEXO, KamlAND-Zen-II, CUPID, NEXT-HD.

Complex Action Support from Coincidences of Couplings
Creators: name: Nielsen, Holger Bech
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Our model \cite{ownmMPP}\cite{SIMPP} with complex action in a functional integral formulation with path integrals extending over all times, past and future, is reviewed. Several numerical relations between coupling constants are presented as supporting evidence. The new evidence is that some more unexplained coincidences are explained in our model: 1) The "scale problem" is solved because the Higgs field expectation value is predicted to be very small compared to say some fundamental scale, that might be the Planck scale. 2) The Higgs VEV need not, however, to be just zero, but rather is predicted to be so that the running top-Yukawa coupling just is about to be unity at this scale; in this way the (weak) scale easily becomes "exponentially small". Instead of the top-Yukawa we should rather say the highest flavour Yukawa coupling here. These predictions are only achieved by allowing the principle of minimization of the imaginary part of the action SI(history) to to a certain extent adjust some coupling constants in addition to the initial conditions. If Susy-partners are not found in LHC, it would strengthen the need for "solution" of the hierarchy or rather scale problem along the lines of the present article.

description: The hydrodynamic effects of macromolecular crowding inside cells is often studied in vitro by using polymers as crowding reagents. Confinement of polymers inside cell-sized droplets has been shown to affect the diffusion of small molecules. Here we develop a method, based on digital holographic microscopy, to measure the diffusion of polystyrene microspheres that are confined within lipid vesicles containing a high concentration of solute. We apply the method to three solutes of varying complexity: sucrose, dextran, and PEG, prepared at ~7 % (w/w). We find that diffusion inside and outside the vesicles is the same when the solute is sucrose or dextran that is prepared below the critical overlap concentration. For polyethylene glycol, which is present at a concentration higher than the critical overlap concentration, the diffusion of microspheres inside vesicles is slower, hinting at the potential effects of confinement on crowding agents.

description: Recently, from 12 $γ$-ray Galactic sources, the LHAASO has detected ultrahigh-energy photons up to 1.4PeV. The $γ$-ray spectra of the sources J2226+6057, J1908+0621, J1825-1326 and the suggested origin pulsars near the sources have been published. In our previous work, we studied the hadronic $γ$-ray spectra of the sources J2226+6057, J1908+0621, J1825-1326 in terms of the Hertzian dipole model of pulsar. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of the leptonic origin of the $γ$-ray. We use the Hertzian dipole model to describe the pulsars around the sources. The electrons around the pulsars can be accelerated to PeV by the electromagnetic fields of pulsars. Under the assumption that the initial electrons are uniform distributed in a spherical shell between $10^{7}$ to $10^{9}$m around the pulsar, we obtain the energy distribution of electrons. The leptonic $γ$-ray spectra can be calculated through inverse Compton scattering processes. The leptonic $γ$-ray can roughly conform to the observation of LHAASO.

description: The horizontal branch (HB) morphology of globular clusters (GC) is mainly governed by metallicity. The second parameter problem, well known since the 60's, states that metallicity alone is not enough to describe the observed HB morphology of many GCs. Despite many efforts to resolve this issue, the second parameter phenomenon still remains without a satisfactory explanation. We have analyzed blue, red-HB, and RR-Lyrae stars in the GC M4 and studied their Fe, Na, and O abundances. Our goal is to investigate possible connections between the bimodal HB of M4 and the chemical signatures of the two stellar populations recently discovered among red giants of this cluster. We obtained FLAMES-UVES/GIRAFFE spectra of a sample of 22 stars covering the HB from the red to the blue region. While iron has the same abundance in both the red and blue-HB segment, the red-HB is composed of stars with scaled-solar sodium abundances, while the blue-HB stars are all sodium enhanced and oxygen depleted. The RR-Lyrae are Na-poor, as the red-HB stars, and O-rich. This is what we expect if the blue-HB consists of a second generation of stars formed from the ejecta produced by an earlier stellar population through high-temperature hydrogen-burning processes that include the CNO, NeNa, and MgAl cycles and are therefore expected to be He-rich. According to this scenario, the sodium and oxygen pattern detected in the blue and red-HB segments suggests helium as the second parameter that rules the HB morphology in M4.

description: In this article, we present an explicit formula for the $c$th nilpotent multiplier (the Baer invariant with respect to the variety of nilpotent groups of class at most $c\geq 1$) of the $n$th nilpotent product of some cyclic groups $G={\mathbb {Z}}\stackrel{n}{*} ... \stackrel{n}{*}{\mathbb {Z}}\stackrel{n}{*} {\mathbb {Z}}_{r_1}\stackrel{n}{*} ... \stackrel{n}{*}{\mathbb{Z}}_{r_t}$, (m-copies of $\mathbb {Z}$), where $r_{i+1} | r_i$ for $1 \leq i \leq t-1$ and $c \geq n$ such that $ (p,r_1)=1$ for all primes $p$ less than or equal to $n$. Also, we compute the polynilpotent multiplier of the group $G$ with respect to the polynilpotent variety ${\mathcal N}_{c_1,c_2,...,c_t}$, where $c_1 \geq n.$

Supporting Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Youth Co-Production: An Exploration of Practitioner Views

description: The UK Government’s Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) Code of Practice: 0 to 25 years (Department for Education & Department of Health, 2015), highlights the need for children and young people (CYP) to participate in decisions that affect their lives. However, concerns have been raised around failures to support those with SEND in participating effectively (United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, 2016). In 2017, practitioners in the North West set up an interest group to explore practices around the participation and co-production with CYP with SEND, from which Participation Learning Events were subsequently created. Data from practitioners from two events, using World Café and storyboard methods led to the creation of Principles of Co-Production: Practitioners' Perspectives (see Figure 1) in order to fill the knowledge gap in this area, hoping these principles could be used to support their practice and that of others. The overarching principle includes the development of a co-production culture, which is supported by other principles of: understanding of co-production; developing engagement opportunities; accessibility and representation; evidence-based practice; creating sustainable systems; creating goals and assigning responsibility; reviewing goals and challenging practice; and sharing practice. It is hoped that these principles along with reflective questioning will support thoughtful discussions and, in turn, co-produced practices at individual and strategic levels. Research implications, limitations and areas for further research are considered.

Dyslexia or Literacy Difficulties: What Difference Does a Label Make? Exploring the Perceptions and Experiences of Young People

description: This study explores the views of young people (YP), with and without self-reported dyslexia or literacy difficulties, focussing on the impact of labels. Qualitative data were gathered through an online survey and individual interviews. The study highlights how the presence or absence of a label can impact people’s perceptions. Dyslexia was perceived as biological in origin; therefore, YP with the label were seen as not to blame for their difficulties. However, more negative judgements were made about YP without the label but with the same difficulties. Participants viewed the label as important for gaining support, yet highlighted the potential for discrimination in terms of access to diagnosis and resources. What was important to participants with dyslexia was not necessarily the label but the support that they received and how they were viewed by others. Implications for school professionals are discussed in terms of ensuring that YP feel empowered by the way they are described.
A method for metropolitan landscape characterization; case study Rotterdam

description: This paper presents a theoretical and methodological framework for a comprehensive landscape characterization, focussing on the largest and most complex urban realm: the metropolitan region. Landscape character has in recent years emerged as a new paradigm to understand, monitor and evaluate cultural landscapes undergoing change. The scope of characterization methods however, is by and large limited to the non-urban realm. In physical terms, the border between the urban and non-urban realms is becoming increasingly diffuse, particularly in metropolitan regions.

Metropolitan regions thus conceptually challenge the scope of landscape characterization, as cities can also be understood to be in and of themselves a form of cultural landscape. Moreover, territories where urban and rural realms merge, result in new ‘hybrid’ types of space that fall outside existing characterization methods. The method developed and presented in this paper is aimed at producing a comprehensive landscape characterization tool for metropolitan regions in order to understand, evaluate and monitor their spatial form. The method developed combines elements from conventional landscape character assessment with urban morphology, mapping, and cluster analyses.

The first version of the method was tested using the metropolitan region of Rotterdam and resulted in a preliminary categorization of thirty-six metropolitan landscape types. Twenty-four of the thirty-six types are defined as ‘hybrid’ or mixed landscape types, which occupy approximately 30% of the territory. Their make-up is determined by formal varying densities of topographic elements, land use categories, and heights. The hybrid landscape types that have emerged as a result of applying this method are of particular interest, as they were not recognized as a specific category by other classification methods.

The extent and character of these landscapes is not yet fully understood and therefore not used in the landscape policy forming. The method also reveals a substantial disparity between the assumed threshold of city and countryside in the Rotterdam region, and the one that has resulted from this study. The distribution of hybrid landscape types also shows that patterns of dispersion, diffusion, periphery and fragmentation have exceeded what is considered the peri-urban area of Rotterdam in administrative and planning circles.

description: Phase transitions with spontaneous symmetry breaking and vector order parameter are considered in multidimensional theory of general relativity. Covariant equations, describing the gravitational properties of topological defects, are derived. The topological defects are classified in accordance with the symmetry of the covariant derivative of the vector order parameter. The abilities of the derived equations are demonstrated in application to the brane world concept. New solutions of the Einstein equations with a transverse vector order parameter are presented. In the vicinity of phase transition the solutions are found analytically. Comparison with the commonly used scalar multiplet approach demonstrates the advantages of the vector order parameter.

description: A long-standing issue in astrobiology is whether planets orbiting the most abundant type of stars, M-dwarfs, can support liquid water and eventually life. A new study shows that subglacial melting may provide an answer, significantly extending the habitability region, in particular around M-dwarf stars, which are also the most promising for biosignature detection with the present and near-future technology.

description: The propagation of known prions relies on a protein fragment called the prion domain (PrD). These domains are often enriched in glutamine and asparagine residues and are usually found in the disordered fragments of proteins. Leveraging these principles, bioinformatic algorithms can be used to predict novel PrDs. In our short study, we aim to enumerate PrD’s in classes of human proteome.
