description: Recent work has characterised rigorously what it means for one quantum system to simulate another, and demonstrated the existence of universal Hamiltonians -- simple spin lattice Hamiltonians that can replicate the entire physics of any other quantum many body system. Previous universality results have required proofs involving complicated `chains' of perturbative `gadgets'. In this paper, we derive a significantly simpler and more powerful method of proving universality of Hamiltonians, directly leveraging the ability to encode quantum computation into ground states. This provides new insight into the origins of universal models, and suggests a deep connection between universality and complexity. We apply this new approach to show that there are universal models even in translationally invariant spin chains in 1D. This gives as a corollary a new Hamiltonian complexity result, that the local Hamiltonian problem for translationally-invariant spin chains in one dimension with an exponentially-small promise gap is PSPACE-complete. Finally, we use these new universal models to construct the first known toy model of 2D--1D holographic duality between local Hamiltonians.

description: Designing an incentive compatible auction that maximizes expected revenue is a central problem in Auction Design. Theoretical approaches to the problem have hit some limits in the past decades and analytical solutions are known for only a few simple settings. Computational approaches to the problem through the use of LPs have their own set of limitations. Building on the success of deep learning, a new approach was recently proposed by Duetting et al. (2019) in which the auction is modeled by a feed-forward neural network and the design problem is framed as a learning problem. The neural architectures used in that work are general purpose and do not take advantage of any of the symmetries the problem could present, such as permutation equivariance. In this work, we consider auction design problems that have permutation-equivariant symmetry and construct a neural architecture that is capable of perfectly recovering the permutation-equivariant optimal mechanism, which we show is not possible with the previous architecture. We demonstrate that permutation-equivariant architectures are not only capable of recovering previous results, they also have better generalization properties.

description: The ISOGAL project is an infrared survey of specific regions sampling the Galactic Plane selected to provide information on Galactic structure,stellar populations,stellar mass-loss and the recent star formation history of the inner disk and Bulge of the Galaxy. ISOGAL combines 7 and 15 micron ISOCAM observations - with a resolution of 6'' at worst - with DENIS IJKs data to determine the nature of the sources and theinterstellar extinction. We have observed about 16 square degrees with a sensitivity approaching 10-20mJy, detecting ~10^5 sources,mostly AGB stars,red giants and young stars. The main features of the ISOGAL survey and the observations are summarized in this paper,together with a brief discussion of data processing and quality. The primary ISOGAL products are described briefly (a full description is given in Schuller et al. 2003, astro-ph/0304309): viz. the images and theISOGAL-DENIS five-wavelength point source catalogue. The main scientific results already derived or in progress are summarized. These include astrometrically calibrated 7 and 15um images,determining structures of resolved sources; identification and properties of interstellar dark clouds; quantification of the infrared extinction law and source dereddening; analysis of red giant and (especially) AGB stellar populations in the central Bulge,determining luminosity,presence of circumstellar dust and mass--loss rate,and source classification,supplemented in some cases by ISO/CVF spectroscopy; detection of young stellar objects of diverse types,especially in the inner Bulge with information about the present and recent star formation rate; identification of foreground sources with mid-IR excess. These results are the subject of about 25 refereed papers published or in preparation.

description: In many democratic countries immigrants obtain voting rights only after several years. This paper provides an explanation for this phenomenon in the framework of a, dynamic migration model of two countries (North-South). In this framework individuals differ in their preferences regarding the supply of a public good, or more generally, regarding some public policy issue. The individual migration decision takes into account both the pecuniary opportunities and the supplies of the public good — which are determined by majority vote in the respective countries. Everyone has been an immigrant at some time in the past. In equilibrium, however, there is an intrinsic political conflict between residents of different "vintages," which implies that longer-time residents are better off postponing the granting of voting rights to more recent immigrants.

description: We present a new simple proof of the fact that certain group manifolds as well as certain homogeneous spaces G/H of dimension 4n admit a quaternionic triple of integrable complex structures that are covariantly constant with respect to the same torsionful Bismut connection, i.e. exhibit the HKT geometry. The key observation is that different complex structures are interrelated by automorphisms of the Lie algebra. To construct the quaternion triples, one only needs to construct the proper automorphisms, which is a more simple problem.

Self -concepts -as -learners of mainstreamed minority children with learning disabilities in regular classrooms and resource rooms

description: This study was designed to evaluate the self-concept-as-learner of thirty-four, third through sixth grade, mainstreamed African-American learning disabled students in two academic settings: The resource room and the regular classroom. Several hypotheses were tested: (1) Mainstreamed students with disabilities reflected a higher self-concept-as-learner in resource room than in the regular classroom; (2) The self-concept-as-learner declined as students progressed through school; (3) There is a relationship between reading achievement and self-concept-as-learners as measured by student's reading levels on their IEP's; (4) There is a correlation between student's reading levels and their self-concept-as-learners. Students were assessed twice using the The Florida Key: Inferred and professed version 1-12 (Purkey, Cage, & Stanley, 1993), once in the regular classroom and once in the resource room. Each student was assessed by one of twenty regular classroom teachers and by one of nine special educators. A variety of statistical instruments were used for testing the data from The Florida Key and reading scores from the IEP's. Descriptive analyses included measures of central tendency and variability, and frequency distributions. Inferential analyses included t-tests, Pearson r, Analysis of Variance, Student-Neuman-Keuls, and Least Significant Differences. The first hypothesis was supported for "teacher" responses with statistical results below the alpha level, that students in the resource room reflected a higher self-concept-as-learner. This finding adds empirical support for the theory that the self-concept-as learner changes from time to time. Responses for "students" showed moderate statistically significant correlations, an indication that students perceive themselves to possess high self-concepts-as-learners regardless of the academic setting. Findings for the second hypothesis that there would be a decline in the self-concept-as-learner as children progressed through school showed fifth grade students to have higher self-concepts-as-learners than fourth graders at a statistically significant level. An investigation of the tests sample indicated interesting data for further analysis. Tests for third and fourth hypotheses did not reveal significant results; however, valuable information was rendered for future studies. A major inference from this study is that students' self-concepts-as-learners are not fixed. Training for educators should include methods for enhancing the self-concept-as-learner of students regardless of the academic setting.

description: We investigate the electronic Raman scattering in pure, quasi-one dimensional conductors with density wave ground state. In particular, we develop the theory of light-scattering on spin and charge density waves, both conventional and unconventional. We calculate the electronic Raman response of the interacting electron system with a single, highly anisotropic conduction band. The calculation is carried out in the mean field approximation. Beside the quasiparticle contribution, the electron-electron interaction is also included on RPA level. The contribution of collective modes and the effect of Coulomb screening are investigated. In analogy with unconventional superconductivity, the obtained Raman spectra - which are finite in the low temperature phase possessing a gap, and vanish identically in the normal state - show unique and strong dependence on the polarization of the incoming and scattered light. We have found distinct, characteristic lineshapes, especially in the unconventional situation, depending on the various scattering geometries and the particular momentum dependence of the density wave order parameter.

title: Transcription regulation through chromatin structure and nuclear compartmentalization
Creators: name: Ferrai, Carmelo
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2007

description: Transcription is a very complex multi-step process presenting different levels of regulation. A large amount of general transcription factors and cofactors recruited on the promoters participate, together with the polymerases, in driving RNA production. The formation of chromatin loops allows their interaction with specific transcription factors bound to distant regulatory sequences and the fine tuning of the gene activity. A further level of complexity is provided by the structural and functional compartmentalization of the nucleus. In fact gene transcription takes place in a strongly localized fashion and nuclear architecture can influence genome regulation. One of the most intriguing findings is that an acto-myosin network plays a role in gene transcription. However, the in vivo role of such proteins in gene expression is still largely unclear. During my PhD I developed a technical approach coupling MNase digestion to ChIP by which I showed that the enhancer and minimal promoter of the human uPA gene function as a single transcription control unit forming a stable structure, that is required to sustain the early elongation step of RNAP-II. I next studied the uPA gene in an inducible cell system showing that it is associated with an inactive RNAP-II transcription factory before the onset of its expression while transcriptional induction promotes its association with an active transcription factory. This finding indicates inactive factories as distinct entities from the active ones supporting the notion of specialized transcription factories. I also studied the involvement of MyosinVI in transcription, characterizing its role in regulating RNAP-II activity. MyosinVI is required for phosphorylation of RNAP-II CTD at level of Serin-2 that, in turn, is required for the enzyme to proceed in the elongating phase. Finally, I showed that the transcription factor Prep1 and MyosinVI are associated in a complex and that the recruitment of MyosinVI on the Prep1-target genes is mediated by the transcription factor itself.

description: In this paper we present iron abundance analysis for 23 wide binaries with main sequence components in the temperture range 4900-6300 K, taken from the sample of the pairs currently included in the radial velocity planet search on going at the TNG. The use of a line-by-line differential analysis technique between the components of each pair allows to reach errors of about 0.02 dex in the iron content difference. Most of the pairs have abundance differences lower than 0.02 dex and there are no pairs with differences larger than 0.07 dex. The four cases of differences larger than 0.02 dex may be spouriuos because of the larger error bars affecting pairs with large temperature difference, cold stars and rotating stars. The pair HD 219542, previously reported by us to have different composition, results instead normal. For non-rotating stars warmer than 5500 K, we are able to exclude in most cases the ingestion of more than 1 Earth Mass of iron (about 5 Earth masses of meteoritic material) during the main sequence lifetime of the stars, placing more stringent limits (about 0.4 Earth masses of iron) in five cases of warm stars. This latter limit is similar to the estimates of rocky material accreted by the Sun during its main sequence lifetime. Combining the results of the present analysis with those for the Hyades and Pleiades, we conclude that the hypothesis that pollution by planetary material is the only responsible for the highest metallicity of the stars with planets may be rejected at more than 99% level of confidence if the incidence of planets in these samples is as high as 8% and similar to the field stars included in current radial velocity surveys. However, the significance of this result drops considerably if the incidence of planets around stars in binary systems and clusters is less than a half than around normal field stars.

description: In this paper, we show how product standardization, or its absence, affects the rate of technological progress. Two types of outcomesthose in which innovations are compatible with old products and those in which they are not - are market equilibria. The incompatible regime is characterized by more frequent product innovations and more rapid technological progress, on the one hand, and greater expenditure of resources in return for this progress on the other. In our framework, an absence of product standardization fulfills the role of "functional obsolescence," which may serve a socially desirable role by fostering more rapid technological progress.

description: The emerging quantum technological applications call for fast and accurate initialization of the corresponding devices to low-entropy quantum states. To this end, we theoretically study a recently demonstrated quantum-circuit refrigerator in the case of non-linear quantum electric circuits such as superconducting qubits. The maximum refrigeration rate of transmon and flux qubits is observed to be roughly an order of magnitude higher than that of usual linear resonators, increasing flexibility in the design. We find that for typical experimental parameters, the refrigerator is suitable for resetting different qubit types to fidelities above 99.99% in a few or a few tens of nanoseconds depending on the scenario. Thus the refrigerator appears to be a promising tool for quantum technology and for detailed studies of open quantum systems.

The study explored how students with severe cognitive disabilities are recognized in decision making and through self-determination in their interactions with others within the school community. Participant observations of students with severe cognitive disabilities in general education classrooms, self-contained classrooms, and within the school community, semi-structured interviews with teachers, students, parents, and administrators, and document analysis of individualized education plans (IEPs), descriptive county and school handouts, and other reports and documents provided an understanding of how students with severe cognitive disabilities are effectively served within a public high school. Through this examination, the interconnectedness of philosophy, policy, and practice of "others" ultimately influenced the opportunities students with severe cognitive disabilities had to deliberate and communicate their academic and social goals. Through an absence of acculturation or the transmission of cultural wealth (Martin, 2002) of the abilities of students with severe cognitive disabilities within North Mountain High School, students with severe cognitive disabilities are required to assimilate into the existing cultural framework and to often have their abilities defined and transmitted as limitations.

Measurement of the cross section for electroweak production of a Z boson, a photon and two jets in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV and constraints on anomalous quartic couplings

description: A measurement is presented of the cross section for electroweak production of a Z boson and a photon in association with two jets (Z$γ$jj) in proton-proton collisions. The Z boson candidates are selected through their decay into a pair of electrons or muons. The process of interest, electroweak Z$γ$jj production, is isolated by selecting events with a large dijet mass and a large pseudorapidity gap between the two jets. The measurement is based on data collected at the CMS experiment at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The observed significance of the signal is 3.9 standard deviations, where a significance of 5.2 standard deviations is expected in the standard model. These results are combined with published results by CMS at $\sqrt{s} =$ 8 TeV, which leads to observed and expected respective significances of 4.7 and 5.5 standard deviations. From the 13 TeV data, a value is obtained for the signal strength of electroweak Z$γ$jj production and bounds are given on quartic vector boson interactions in the framework of dimension-eight effective field theory operators.

description: The continued accessibility of technologies for single-cell transcriptomics has led to the increased production of single-cell datasets and the development of computational methods for analysing them. Several efforts have now been made to bring together the available data to construct reference atlases that attempt to catalogue the cell types present in various tissues and organs. While these atlases have the potential to be valuable resources, their usefulness depends on the quality of integration of multiple datasets from different labs and experimental conditions to create the atlas, as well as the ability to map new query samples to the completed reference. Previous benchmarking studies have compared integration methods and found that there were significant differences in performance and that methods generally perform better when applied to a subset of highly-variable genes rather than the full feature set. While the field has converged on this approach it is not clear how these genes should be selected to generate the best integrated reference or how feature selection affects the mapping of query datasets. Here, we propose a study that benchmarks feature selection methods for single-cell cell integration and reference usage. We investigate deep learning integration methods as these methods have been found to be among the top performers and have been used to construct existing large-scale atlases as well as an integration approach based on a corrected PCA space. Our benchmark will evaluate the most commonly-used highly-variable gene selection methods in popular packages such as Seurat and scanpy as well as alternative approaches. Variants of methods that differ in the number of genes selected or whether they are selected across all the datasets to be integrated rather than in a batch-aware fashion will also be tested. To extend beyond the integration step to how a reference is used we include evaluation metrics for assessing the quality of query mapping, label transfer and the detection of previously unseen populations. 1 The results of this study will be of broad interest and importance to the single-cell analysis community as data integration has been named a key challenge in single-cell data science and most studies now include several batches or conditions. We also expect comprehensive, well-annotated references to play a bigger role in future analyses. These questions are also vitally important for large-scale initiatives such as the Human Cell Atlas as encountered during the construction of the Human Lung Cell Atlas, both for informing how to construct tissue-scale atlases as well as how they can be used as resources.

description: This paper models a game-theoretic interaction between the monetary authority and a strategically active private sector. It aims to explore the real effects of monetary policy, wage setting behaviour and the consequences of stabilization and indexation policy. We find that when the private sector has an active role, "rules" and "discretion" are not as far apart as implied by the standard model prevalent in the literature. Both regimes are not Pareto-optimal equilibria and inflation may be positive even under "rules." We show that monetary policy may have real effects on output in the short-run due to strategic considerations by rational, petfectly informed wage-setters. The latter may act "tough" or "soft" depending upon the preferences of the policymaker facing them. We investigate the consequences of inflation stabilization policy and the means open to the government to mitigate its output costs. We also find that the prevalent intuition whereby more indexation should lead to more inflation is not always correct.

description: Present time-domain astronomy efforts will unveil a variety of rare transients. We focus here on pulsational pair-instability evolution, which can result in signatures observable with electromagnetic and gravitational waves. We simulate grids of bare helium stars to characterize the resulting black hole (BH) masses and ejecta composition, velocity, and thermal state. The stars do not react "elastically" to the thermonuclear explosion: there is not a one-to-one correspondence between pair-instability driven ignition and mass ejections, causing ambiguity in what is an observable pulse. In agreement with previous studies, we find that for carbon-oxygen core masses 28Msun< M_CO<30.5Msun the explosions are not strong enough to affect the surface. With increasing mass, they first cause large radial expansion (30.5Msun31.4Msun). The lowest mass to be fully disrupted in a pair-instability supernova is M_CO=57Msun. Models with M_CO>121Msun reach the photodisintegration regime, resulting in BHs with M_BH>125Msun. If the pulsating models produce BHs via (weak) explosions, the previously-ejected material might be hit by the blast wave. We characterize the H-free circumstellar material from the pulsational pair-instability of helium cores assuming simply that the ejecta maintain a constant velocity after ejection. Our models produce He-rich ejecta with mass 10^{-3}Msun

description: The relative distribution of the populations of the top 40 urban areas of France and Japan remained very constant during these countries' periods of industrialization and urbanization. Moreover, projection of their future distributions based on past growth indicates that their size—distributions in steady state will not differ essentially from what they have been historically. Urbanization consequently appears to have taken the form of the parallel growth of cities, rather than convergence to an optimal city size or the divergent growth of the largest cities. We develop a model of urbanization and growth based on the accumulation of human capital consistent with these observations. Our model predicts that larger cities will have higher levels of human capital, higher rents, and higher wages per worker, even though workers are homogeneous and free to migrate between cities. Cities grow at a common growth rate, with relative city size depending upon the environment that they provide for learning.
Chiral symmetry breaking solutions for QCD in the truncated Coulomb gauge

description: In this paper we study the power-like confining potentials r^alpha. The region of allowed alphas is identified, the mass-gap equation is constructed for an arbitrary alpha and solved for several values of the latter, and the vacuum energy and the chiral condensate are calculated. The question of replica solutions to the mass-gap equation for such potentials is addressed and it is demonstrated that the number of replicas is infinite for any alpha, as a consequence of the peculiar behaviour of the quark self-energy in the infrared domain.

description: Body dissatisfaction is associated with subsequent eating disorders and weight gain. One-off exposure to bodies of different sizes changes perception of other's bodies, and perception of and satisfaction with own body size. The effect of repeated exposure to bodies of different sizes has not been assessed. We randomized women into three groups, and they spent 5 min twice a day for a week completing a one-back task using images of women modified to appear either under, over, or neither over- nor underweight. We tested the effects on their perception of their own and others' body size, and satisfaction with own size. Measures at follow up were compared between groups, adjusted for baseline measurements. In 93 women aged 18–30 years, images of other women were perceived as larger following exposure to underweight women (and vice versa) (p p = 0.03) and avatar-constructed perceived own body size (p = 0.007) both decreased following exposure to underweight women, possibly due to adaptation affecting how the avatar was perceived. Repeated exposure to different sized bodies changes perception of the size of others' bodies, but we did not find evidence that it changes perceived own size.

description: In this paper we briefly outline the quadrature method for estimating uncertainties in a function of several variables and apply it to estimate the numerical uncertainties in QCD-QED rescaling factors. We employ here the one-loop order in QED and three-loop order in QCD evolution equations of fermion mass renormalization. Our present calculations are found to be new and also reliable compared to the earlier values employed by various authors.

description: Epeolus mesillae (Cockerell, 1895)
[Neotype: UCMC; ♂ Mesilla Park, Las Cruces, Doña Ana Co., New Mexico, USA]
The range of Epeolus mesillae spans from northwestern Mexico to the southwestern USA. In the BCP, it has been documented across various ecoregions, including the Coastal Sage Matorral, Chaparral (BC), Magdalena Plains, and the Sarcocaulescent Shrubland in BCS (Onuferko 2018; GBIF 2023). Additionally, we examined four specimens (CASC): three males collected in the Lower Colorado Desert, two at 20 mi. S Palacio in April 1939, and one at 10 mi. S. San Felipe in March 1961, along with one in Chaparral in April 1960. See fig. 130.

description: We study distributions which have both fractal and non-fractal scale regions by introducing a typical scale into a scale invariant system. As one of models in which distributions follow power law in the large scale region and deviate further from the power law in the smaller scale region, we employ 2-dim quantum gravity modified by the $R^2$ term. As examples of distributions in the real world which have similar property to this model, we consider those of personal income in Japan over latest twenty fiscal years. We find relations between the typical scale and several kinds of averages in this model, and observe that these relations are also valid in recent personal income distributions in Japan with sufficient accuracy. We show the existence of the fiscal years so called bubble term in which the gap has arisen in power law, by observing that the data are away from one of these relations. We confirm, therefore, that the distribution of this model has close similarity to those of personal income. In addition, we can estimate the value of Pareto index and whether a big gap exists in power law by using only these relations. As a result, we point out that the typical scale is an useful concept different from average value and that the distribution function derived in this model is an effective tool to investigate these kinds of distributions.

description: A graph neural network transforms features in each vertex's neighborhood into a vector representation of the vertex. Afterward, each vertex's representation is used independently for predicting its label. This standard pipeline implicitly assumes that vertex labels are conditionally independent given their neighborhood features. However, this is a strong assumption, and we show that it is far from true on many real-world graph datasets. Focusing on regression tasks, we find that this conditional independence assumption severely limits predictive power. This should not be that surprising, given that traditional graph-based semi-supervised learning methods such as label propagation work in the opposite fashion by explicitly modeling the correlation in predicted outcomes. Here, we address this problem with an interpretable and efficient framework that can improve any graph neural network architecture simply by exploiting correlation structure in the regression residuals. In particular, we model the joint distribution of residuals on vertices with a parameterized multivariate Gaussian, and estimate the parameters by maximizing the marginal likelihood of the observed labels. Our framework achieves substantially higher accuracy than competing baselines, and the learned parameters can be interpreted as the strength of correlation among connected vertices. Furthermore, we develop linear time algorithms for low-variance, unbiased model parameter estimates, allowing us to scale to large networks. We also provide a basic version of our method that makes stronger assumptions on correlation structure but is painless to implement, often leading to great practical performance with minimal overhead.
