description: This paper develops a theoretical framework for comparing religious ethics (from Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Islam) and secular ethics (based on duties vs. rights, current vs. future generations, humans vs. non-humans, intra- vs. inter-generational equity, teleological vs. deontological perspectives, anthropocentrism vs. biocentrism, cooperative vs. bargaining solutions, weak vs. strong sustainability, optimistic vs. current scenarios). I focused on the duties to nature (β) and future generations (γ), rights of future generations (δ), and aversion to intra- and inter-generational inequality (ε and ζ, respectively). To perform this analysis, I adopt an individual perspective to favor comparisons between religious and secular ethics. I also consider future scenarios for consumption preferences (α), population size (η), and improved technology (θ). I present empirical results for OECD and non-OECD countries, based on numerical simulations for current and maximum feasible parameter values and on statistical analyses for marginal reliable changes of parameters, within a single graphical framework. α, η, and θ are unessential for sustainability; β is beneficial but not feasible and unreliable in OECD countries; γ is detrimental in all countries; δ is beneficial, feasible and reliable in OECD countries, but inadequate; ε is detrimental and ζ is essential in all countries. The religious ethics were adequate, feasible and reliable for Hinduism or Buddhism, Islam, and Judaism.

description: We study the determination of market power at the firm and industry levels when heterogeneous firms compete for sales to ex ante homogeneous buyers in a market with both directed and random search and free entry of firms that differ in productivity. Search and the distribution of productivity across active firms generate distributions of equilibrium prices and markups that we relate to variation in the elasticity of demand at the firm level. With directed search at the outset, a shock that raises the matching rate for buyers improves conditions for them and tends to lower markups. Random matching follows sequentially, and the same shock can lower the productivity threshold for operation, pushing up prices and markups for all firms. The net effect on market power can be ambiguous depending on the forces driving matching rates. The distributions of prices and markups respond in equilibrium to changes in common and firm-specific costs, consumption utility, and fixed costs of both entry and operation. We characterize the differential pass-through of these changes to prices and markups at both the firm and market levels.
description: Nous étudions comment s’établit le pouvoir de marché chez les entreprises et dans les secteurs lorsque des entreprises hétérogènes se font concurrence pour vendre à des consommateurs homogènes ex ante dans un marché. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons la recherche ciblée et aléatoire et l’entrée libre sur le marché d’entreprises dont la productivité varie. La recherche et la distribution de la productivité chez les entreprises actives génèrent des distributions des prix et des marges à l’équilibre que nous lions à la variation de l’élasticité de la demande chez les entreprises. En effectuant une recherche ciblée au début, on constate qu’un choc qui accroît le taux d’appariement des acheteurs améliore les conditions pour eux et tend à réduire les marges. L’appariement aléatoire suit dans l’ordre, et le même choc peut abaisser le seuil de productivité des opérations, ce qui fait monter les prix et les marges de l’ensemble des entreprises. L’effet net sur le pouvoir de marché peut être ambigu selon les facteurs qui influent sur les taux d’appariement. Les distributions des prix et des marges réagissent symétriquement avec les changements des coûts communs et des coûts propres à l’entreprise, l’utilité de la consommation et les coûts fixes d’entrée et d’exploitation. Nous qualifions les différentes répercussions de ces changements de prix et de marges chez les entreprises et dans les marchés.

description: Noise-induced failures in the stabilization of an unstable orbit in the one-dimensional logistic map are considered as large fluctuations from a stable state. The properties of the large fluctuations are examined by determination and analysis of the optimal path and the optimal fluctuational force corresponding to the stabilization failure. The problem of controlling noise-induced large fluctuations is discussed, and methods of control have been developed.

description: Neoantigens are peptides on the surface of cancer cells that may activate the immune system. Multiple novel therapeutic approaches involve identifying neoantigens and predicting which neoantigens can be leveraged to trigger immunity-induced tumor regression.

We present a novel method (workflow) for neoantigen discovery and prioritization using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data which process tumor-normal pairs of whole exome sequencing (WES) samples and tumor gene expression data. Our method considers multiple dimensions of genomic features including phasing of mutations, the influence of both somatic and germline mutations, and positions of all transcripts and mutations on start and stop codons. This Neoantigen workflow (also known as a pipeline) is a combination of tools (e.g. BWA, GATK4) and is described in Common Workflow Language (CWL). Here, individual tools are associated with Docker containers enabling both configurability of all relevant parameters and full reproducibility across an abundance of computational environments.

description: The dynamics-from-permutations of classical Ising spins is studied for a chain of four spins. We obtain the Hamiltonian operator which is equivalent to the unitary permutation matrix that encodes assumed pairwise exchange interactions. It is shown how this can be summarized by an exact terminating Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff formula, which relates the Hamiltonian to a product of exponentiated two-spin exchange permutations. We briefly comment upon physical motivation and implications of this study.

description: We propose an entanglement-based quantum bit string commitment protocol whose composability is proven in the random oracle model. This protocol has the additional property of preserving the privacy of the committed message. Even though this property is not resilient against man-in-the-middle attacks, this threat can be circumvented by considering that the parties communicate through an authenticated channel. The protocol remains secure (but not private) if we realize the random oracles as physical unclonable functions in the so-called bad PUF model with access before the opening phase.

description: In November and December 2020 we surveyed a sample of 3,510 adult Australians to understand the different types of media they use, the value they place on different media activities, their confidence in their own media abilities and their access to media literacy support. The findings show that most Australians use several different types of media each day, they believe a diverse range of media activities are important in their lives, but their confidence in their own media abilities is unexpectedly low. We also find that far too many Australians don’t have access to any media literacy support when they need it. The findings demonstrate that if we accept that media is integral to all aspects of our lives, far more needs to be done to address the needs of groups who are the least confident about their media abilities and who have access to the least support. The findings also show that increasing media literacy can yield direct benefits for increasing people’s civic engagement.

description: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a serious medical condition that impacts the lives of millions of people around the world. Complications of both micro- (small blood vessels) and macro- (large blood vessels) vascular nature occur later in life due to hyperglycemia. Increased hyperglycemia causes increased inflammation globally throughout the CNS and, more locally, in retinal microvasculature leading to downregulated tight-junction proteins. This leads to cognitive and visual decline later in life in Type 2 DM patients. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a nonpsychoactive cannabinoid with known medicinal properties. CBD has shown potential use in lowering inflammation and blood-glucose levels. Therefore, we wanted to test this agent to see if concurrent use of CBD during hyperglycemic induction would lower the risk for cognitive and visual deficits. Using behavioral (Three-Chamber Choice – Cognition; Optomotor Response – Vision), molecular (RT-qPCR and Western Blot), and physiological (Electroretinograms) techniques, we measured the response of CBD treatment on cognition and vision. Overall, we found that CBD had no impact on preventing cognitive decline, and that there was no significant difference between any of the groups in inflammatory pathways or cytokines in brain tissue. However, CBD successfully increased performance on the optomotor response task in hyperglycemic fish and increased the time to b-wave peak response on electroretinograms. Hyperglycemic fish treated with CBD also had decreased inflammation via the JNK inflammatory pathway and increased response in cell survival pathway AKT in retinal homogenates compared to hyperglycemic fish not treated with CBD. These results therefore suggest, that while CBD does not prevent hyperglycemic insult in the brain, it does have an impact in the retina, protecting against visual-based deficits.

description: For n an even number of qubits and v a unitary evolution, a matrix decomposition v=k1 a k2 of the unitary group is explicitly computable and allows for study of the dynamics of the concurrence entanglement monotone. The side factors k1 and k2 of this Concurrence Canonical Decomposition (CCD) are concurrence symmetries, so the dynamics reduce to consideration of the a factor. In this work, we provide an explicit numerical algorithm computing v=k1 a k2 for n odd. Further, in the odd case we lift the monotone to a two-argument function, allowing for a theory of concurrence dynamics in odd qubits. The generalization may also be studied using the CCD, leading again to maximal concurrence capacity for most unitaries. The key technique is to consider the spin-flip as a time reversal symmetry operator in Wigner's axiomatization; the original CCD derivation may be restated entirely in terms of this time reversal. En route, we observe a Kramers' nondegeneracy: the existence of a nondegenerate eigenstate of any time reversal symmetric n-qubit Hamiltonian demands (i) n even and (ii) maximal concurrence of said eigenstate. We provide examples of how to apply this work to study the kinematics and dynamics of entanglement in spin chain Hamiltonians.

description: First, we establish which measures of large-scale perturbations are least afflicted by gauge artifacts and directly map the apparent evolution of inhomogeneities to local interactions of cosmological species. Considering nonlinear and linear perturbations of phase-space distribution, radiation intensity and arbitrary species' density, we require that: (i) the dynamics of perturbations defined by these measures is determined by observables within the local Hubble volume; (ii) the measures are practically applicable on microscopic scales and in an unperturbed geometry retain their microscopic meaning on all scales. We prove that all measures of linear overdensity that satisfy (i) and (ii) coincide in the superhorizon limit. Their dynamical equations are simpler than the traditional ones, have a nonsingular superhorizon limit and explicit Cauchy form. Then we show that, contrary to the popular view, the perturbations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in the radiation era are not resonantly boosted self-gravitationally during horizon entry. (Consequently, the CMB signatures of uncoupled species which may be abundant in the radiation era, e.g. neutrinos or early quintessence, are mild; albeit non-degenerate and robust to cosmic variance.) On the other hand, dark matter perturbations in the matter era gravitationally suppress large-angle CMB anisotropy by an order of magnitude stronger than presently believed. If cold dark matter were the only dominant component then, for adiabatic perturbations, the CMB temperature power spectrum C_l would be suppressed 25-fold.

This species was originally described by Linton (1901) from Phycis tenuis (= Urophycis tenuis) from the Atlantic coast of America (Nantucket) as Filaria serrata Linton, 1892. Various workers including Berland (1961), Rahman (1964), Scott (1987), Køie (1993) and Moravec & Klimpel (2007) concluded that the description is inadequate. According to Linton, S. cristatus males show the following features: length 5.8; maximum breadth 0.1; over 100 transverse rows of spines; spines 0.01 long; four precloacal and six post-cloacal papillae; tail ends blindly, rounded extremity; cloacal aperture 0.16 from tail tip. Apart from the inadequacy of the description, there is an inconsistency in the lengths recorded for the spicules (0.06 and 0.03) and the illustrations of them. Site: intestinal lumen

description: Die vorliegende kumulative Habilitationsarbeit befasste sich mit prognostischen und prädiktiven Biomarkern sowie mit seltenen Metastasierungswegen beim kolorektalen Karzinom (KRK). Alle im Folgenden aufgeführten Arbeiten dieses Habilitationsprojekts wurden an Patientenkollektiven mit primär nicht-resektablem metastasiertem kolorektalen Karzinom (mKRK) durchgeführt. Im Fokus der wissenschaftlichen Tätigkeit und Publikationsaktivität standen Untersuchungen zum Serum-Tumormarker CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen) und dessen Stellenwert in der Beurteilung des Therapieansprechens auf eine Systemtherapie. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass sich das Serum-CEA konkordant zur radiologischen Bildgebung, dem heute immer noch gültigen Staging-Goldstandard, verhält. In Analogie zum Depth-of-Response-Modell wurde herausgearbeitet, dass das Ausmaß des CEA-Abfalls von prognostischer Bedeutung für das Überleben ist und hierfür ein CEA-cutoff definiert. Ein weiterer Fokus lag in der Untersuchung seltener Metastasierungswege, im Speziellen der Entwicklung von ZNS-Metastasen. Hier wurde das bisher größte Patientenkollektiv identifiziert und Überlebenszeiten, prognostische Faktoren und Metastasierungswege analysiert. Des Weiteren konnten Tumorproben aus diesem Patientenkollektiv hinsichtlich prognostischer Biomarker untersucht werden. Ziel dieser Zusammenfassung der kumulativen Habilitationsschrift ist es, die Ergebnisse der einzelnen Publikationen thematisch im wissenschaftlichen Kontext darzustellen und zu diskutieren. Daher wird im Rahmen dieser Arbeit nicht auf alle Aspekte des mKRK in gleicher Wichtung eingegangen.

description: With the ever-growing interest in the area of mobile information retrieval and the ongoing fast development of mobile devices and, as a consequence, mobile apps, an active research area lies in studying users' behavior and search queries users submit on mobile devices. However, many researchers require to develop an app that collects useful information from users while they search on their phones or participate in a user study. In this paper, we aim to address this need by providing a comprehensive Android app, called Omicron, which can be used to collect mobile query logs and perform user studies on mobile devices. Omicron, at its current version, can collect users' mobile queries, relevant documents, sensor data as well as user activity and interaction data in various study settings. Furthermore, we designed Omicron in such a way that it is conveniently extendable to conduct more specific studies and collect other types of sensor data. Finally, we provide a tool to monitor the participants and their data both during and after the collection process.

We used the fully relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock (MCDF) method approximating the plasma electron-nucleus and electron-electron screenings with a time-averaged Debye-Huckel potential. Results. We report modified ionization potentials, K-threshold energies, wavelengths, radiative emission rates, and Auger widths for plasmas characterized by electron temperatures and densities in the ranges $10^5$ - $10^7$ K and $10^{18}$ - $10^{22}$ cm$^{-3}$. Conclusions. This study confirms that the high-resolution X-ray spectrometers onboard the future XRISM and ATHENA space missions will be capable of detecting the lowering of the K edges of these ions due to the extreme plasma conditions occurring in accretion disks around compact objects.

description: Taking the standard zero curvature approach we derive an infinite set of integrable equations, which taken together form the negative Volterra hierarchy. The resulting equations turn out to be nonlocal, which is usual for the negative flows. However, in some cases the nonlocality can be eliminated. Studying the combined action of both positive (classical) and negative Volterra flows, i.e. considering the differential consequences of equations of the extended Volterra hierarchy, we deduce local equations which seem to be promising from the viewpoint of applications. The presented results give answers to some questions related to the classification of integrable differential-difference equations. We also obtain dark solitons of the negative Volterra hierarchy using an elementary approach.

description: We discuss a few old results concerning embedding theorems for Campanato and Sobolev-Morrey spaces adapting the formulations to the case of domains of class $C^{0,γ}$, and we present more recent results concerning the extension of functions from Sobolev-Morrey spaces defined on those domains. As a corollary of the extension theorem we obtain an embedding theorem for Sobolev-Morrey spaces on arbitrary $C^{0,γ}$ domains.

description: We present an estimate of the cosmological evolution of the field galaxy luminosity function (LF) in the rest frame 4400 Angstrom B -band up to redshift z=3.5. To this purpose, we use a composite sample of 1541 I--selected galaxies selected down to I_(AB)=27.2 and 138 galaxies selected down to K_(AB)=25 from ground-based and HST multicolor surveys, most notably the new deep JHK images in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S) taken with the ISAAC instrument at the ESO-VLT telescope. About 21% of the sample has spectroscopic redshifts, and the remaining fraction well calibrated photometric redshifts. The resulting blue LF shows little density evolution at the faint end with respect to the local values, while at the bright end (M_B(AB)

description: We theoretically explore the transfer of vortex states between atomic Bose-Einstein condensates and optical pulses using ultra-slow and stopped light techniques. We find shining a coupling laser on a rotating two-component ground state condensate with a vortex lattice generates a probe laser field with optical vortices. We also find that optical vortex states can be robustly stored in the atomic superfluids for long times (>100 ms).

description: Photon strength functions describing the average response of the nucleus to an electromagnetic probe are key input information in the theoretical modelling of nuclear reactions. Consequently they are important for a wide range of fields such as nuclear structure, nuclear astrophysics, medical isotope production, fission and fusion reactor technologies. They are also sources of information for widely used reaction libraries such as the IAEA Reference Input Parameter Library and evaluated data files such as EGAF. In the past two decades, the amount of reaction gamma-ray data measured to determine photon strength functions has grown rapidly. Different experimental techniques have led to discrepant results and users are faced with the dilemma which (if any) of the divergent data to adopt. We report on a coordinated effort to compile and assess the existing experimental data on photon strength functions from the giant dipole resonance region to energies below the neutron separation energy. The assessment of the discrepant data at energies around or below the neutron separation energy has been possible only in a few cases where adequate information on the model-dependent analysis and estimation of uncertainties was available. In the giant dipole resonance region, we adopt the recommendations of the new IAEA photonuclear data library. We also present global empirical and semi-microscopic models that describe the photon strength functions in the entire energy region and reproduce reasonably well most of the experimental data. The compiled experimental photon strengths and recommended model calculations are available from the PSF database hosted at the IAEA (URL:www-nds.iaea.org/PSFdatabase).

Renormalization Group Reduction of the Henon Map and Application to the Transverse Betatron Motion in Cyclic Accelerators

description: The renormalization group method is applied to the study of discrete dynamical systems. As a particular example, the Henon map is considered as applied to describe the transverse betatron oscillations in a cyclic accelerator or storage ring possessing a FODO-cell structure with a single thin sextupole. A powerful renormalization group method is developed that is valid correct to fourth order in the perturbation amplitude, and a technique for resolving the resonance structure of the Henon map is also presented. This calculation represents the first successful application of a renormalization group method to the study of discrete dynamical system in a unified manner capable of reducing the dynamics of the system both far from and close to resonances, thus preserving the symplectic symmetry of the original map.

On the rapid orbital expansion in the compact low-mass X-ray binary 2A 1822$-$371
Creators: name: Xing, Ze-Pei

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 2A 1822$-$371 has an orbital period of 5.57 hr. Mass transfer in such short-period binaries is thought to be driven by magnetic braking with orbital shrinking. However, 2A 1822$-$371 shows a very rapid orbital expansion, implying that mass transfer occurs rapidly in this system. The accretion rate of the neutron star is observationally estimated to be higher than the Eddington limit, which is also hard to be explained by the standard magnetic braking mechanism. In this work, we construct a model to account for the peculiar properties of 2A 1822$-$371. We assume that the donor star possesses a relatively strong magnetic field, which is coupled with the stellar winds excited by the X-ray radiation from the neutron star. This would generate efficient angular momentum loss, leading to a high mass transfer rate and hence orbital expansion. We provide possible evolutionary tracks of 2A 1822$-$371 and study how the input parameters affect the results. The observational implications of the irradiation-driven mass loss are also briefly discussed in the context of evolution of low-mass X-ray binaries and millisecond pulsars.

The remarkable rapid X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, and IR variability in the black hole XTE J1118+480

description: The transient black hole binary XTE J1118+480 exhibited dramatic rapid variability at all wavelengths which were suitably observed during its 2000 April-July outburst. We examine time-resolved X-ray, ultraviolet, optical, and infrared data spanning the plateau phase of the outburst. We find that both X-ray and infrared bands show large amplitude variability. The ultraviolet and optical variability is more subdued, but clearly correlated with that seen in the X-rays. The ultraviolet, at least, appears to be dominated by the continuum, although the lines are also variable. Using the X-ray variations as a reference point, we find that the UV variability at long wavelengths occurs later than that at short wavelengths. Uncertainty in HST timing prohibits a determination of the absolute lag with respect to the X-rays, however. The transfer function is clearly not a delta-function, exhibiting significant repeatable structure. For the main signal we can rule out an origin in reprocessing on the companion star - the lack of variation in the lags is not consistent with this given a relatively high orbital inclination. Weak reprocessing from the disc and/or companion star may be present, but is not required, and another component must dominate the variability. This could be variable synchrotron emission correlated with X-ray variability, consistent with our earlier interpretation of the IR flux as due to synchrotron emission rather than thermal disc emission. In fact the broad-band energy distribution of the variability from IR to X-rays is consistent with expectations of optically thin synchrotron emission. We also follow the evolution of the low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillation in X-rays, UV, and optical. Its properties at all wavelengths are similar indicating a common origin.

description: In this review, we highlight the role of intratumoral heterogeneity, focusing on the clinical and biological ramifications this phenomenon poses. Intratumoral heterogeneity arises through complex genetic, epigenetic, and protein modifications that drive phenotypic selection in response to environmental pressures. Functionally, heterogeneity provides tumors with significant adaptability. This ranges from mutual beneficial cooperation between cells, which nurture features such as growth and metastasis, to the narrow escape and survival of clonal cell populations that have adapted to thrive under specific conditions such as hypoxia or chemotherapy. These dynamic intercellular interplays are guided by a Darwinian selection landscape between clonal tumor cell populations and the tumor microenvironment. Understanding the involved drivers and functional consequences of such tumor heterogeneity is challenging but also promises to provide novel insight needed to confront the problem of therapeutic resistance in tumors.

description: In this study, by means of classical molecular dynamics simulations, we investigated the thermal transport properties of hexagonal single-layer, zinc-blend and wurtzite phases of BN, AlN, and GaN crystals, which are very promising for the application and design of high-quality electronic devices. With this in mind, we generated fully transferable Tersoff-type empirical inter-atomic potential parameter sets by utilizing an optimization procedure based on particle swarm optimization. The predicted thermal properties as well as the structural, mechanical and vibrational properties of all materials are in very good agreement with existing experimental and first-principles data. The impact of isotopes on thermal transport is also investigated and between $\sim$10 and 50\% reduction in phonon thermal transport with random isotope distribution is observed in BN and GaN crystals. Our investigation distinctly shows that the generated parameter sets are fully transferable and very useful in exploring the thermal properties of systems containing these nitrides.
