description: Imagine that there is a gapless plane tessellated by irregular, convex pentagons with their side lengths at the sub-nanoscale, and tiny balls are placed at the vertices of each pentagon. If there are no interactions among these balls, one would expect that they stand still at the vertices of the pentagons. But what if these balls symbolize atoms? The electrons and nuclei of the atoms will start to interact following the laws of quantum mechanics. As a result, the atoms will relocate leading to a system of energy minimum. While performing an experiment of manipulating individual atoms and observing the resulting configurations may be challenging, we apply ab initio density functional theory (DFT) calculations to carry out a virtual experiment, where we assign carbon atoms at the vertices of 14 types of convex pentagons and then optimize the positions of these atoms. We obtain a variety of unexpected structures; almost all of them except types 2 and 4 structures{these two structures are equivalent{differ from the initial pentagonal geometries. We compute the band structure of each resulting geometry representing the crystal structure of a two-dimensional (2D) material. We find diverse electrical properties among these 2D materials: metallic, semiconducting, and semi-metallic with a Dirac cone. Our work shows that encoding quantum mechanics into the geometries of irregular, convex pentagons and with the help of DFT calculations open up a novel route for accelerating discovery of new 2D materials.

description: Sensitivity analysis quantifies how a model output responds to variations in its inputs. However, the following sensitivity question has never been rigorously answered: How sensitive is the mean or variance of a stochastic simulation output to the mean or variance of a stochastic input distribution? This question does not have a simple answer because there is often more than one way of changing the mean or variance of an input distribution, which leads to correspondingly different impacts on the simulation outputs. In this article we propose a new family of output-property-with-respect-to-input-property sensitivity measures for stochastic simulation. We focus on four useful members of this general family: sensitivity of output mean or variance with respect to input-distribution mean or variance. Based on problem-specific characteristics of the simulation we identify appropriate point and error estimators for these sensitivities that require no additional simulation effort beyond the nominal experiment. Two representative examples are provided to illustrate the family, estimators and interpretation of results.

It was tested whether the observed behavioural variation in the performance in the group emergence test originated from differences between the original AB and TL lines, which had been used to generate the AB/TL line used in the present study. For this purpose, the emergence test was repeated with 6 groups of each 10 fish consisting of 5 AB and 5 TL fish in a ratio of 1:1. The results show no significant difference between the number of AB (black bars) and TL fish (grey bars) per emergence rank, indicating no difference between the two lines.

description: Nonparametric estimation of the copula function using Bernstein polynomials is studied. Convergence in the uniform topology is established. From the nonparametric Bernstein copula, the nonparametric Bernstein copula density is derived. It is shown that the nonparametric Bernstein copula density is closely related to the histogram estimator, but has the smoothing properties of kernel estimators. The optimal order of polynomial under the L2 norm is shown to be closely related to the inverse of the optimal smoothing factor for common nonparametric estimator. In order of magnitude, this estimator has variance equal to the square root of other common nonparametric estimators, e.g. kernel smoothers, but it is biased as a histogram estimator.

description: It is shown that the next-to-leading order (NLO) corrections to the QCD Pomeron intercept obtained from the BFKL equation, when evaluated in non-Abelian physical renormalization schemes with BLM optimal scale setting do not exhibit the serious problems encountered in the $\overline{\mbox{MS}}$-scheme. A striking feature of the NLO BFKL Pomeron intercept in the BLM approach is its rather weak dependence on the virtuality of the reggeized gluon. This remarkable property yields an important approximate conformal invariance. The results obtained provide an opportunity for applications of NLO BFKL resummation to high-energy phenomenology.

description: The literature on informational cascades and herding theory has for a decade focused on the externality and suboptimal outcomes generated from decision-making when spaces are coarser than private information spaces. Much of the output has therefore been positive, not normative. This paper redresses this imbalance by detailing several direct applications for marketing and business arising from herding theory. We see that business practices such as encouraging early sales, or selling to groups rather than individual customers, can be justified theoretically by direct application of herding theory.

description: International comparisons can be used to study relative efficiency of decision-making units in an industry in a wider context. In particular, cross-country comparisons can, help regulators of natural monopoly firms to assess the relative performance of their regulation regime and national firms with those of other countries. The relative performance of frontier firms is important as these may be subject to lax regulation and could constitute benchmarks for regulation of other firms. The results of empirical studies can be sensitive to the choice of techniques and models. The UK and Japanese electricity distribution utilities have been subject to yardstick regulation since 1990 and 1996 respectively. In this paper we present an analysis of the development and relative performance of electricity distribution utilities in the UK and Japan between 1985 and 1998. The results allow the examination of the impact of privatisation and regulation on the UK firms and their scope for further efficiency gains. The paper presents the findings from applying input distance functions with data envelopment analysis (DEA), stochastic frontier analysis (SFA), and corrected ordinary least square (COLS) techniques using cost based model specifications in a dynamic setting.

description: Resistance to azoles and amphotericin B especially in Aspergillus fumigatus is a growing concern towards the treatment of invasive fungal infection. At this critical juncture, intein splicing would be a productive, and innovative target to establish therapies against resistant strains. Intein splicing is the central event for the activation of host protein, essential for the growth and survival of various microorganisms including A. fumigatus. The splicing process is a four-step protease-like nucleophilic cascade. Thus, we hypothesise that protease inhibitors would successfully halt intein splicing and potentially restrict the growth of the aforementioned pathogen. Using Rosetta Fold and molecular dynamics simulations, we modelled Prp8 intein structure; resembling classic intein fold with horse shoe shaped splicing domain. To fully comprehend the active site of Afu Prp8 intein, C1, T62, H65, H818, N819 from intein sequences and S820, the first C-extein residue are selected. Molecular docking shows that two FDA-approved drugs, i.e. Lufotrelvir and Remdesivir triphosphate efficiently interact with Prp8 intein from the assortment of 212 protease inhibitors. MD simulation portrayed that Prp8 undergoes conformational change upon ligand binding, and inferred the molecular recognition and stability of the docked complexes. Per-residue decomposition analysis confirms the importance of F: block R802, V803, and Q807 binding pocket in intein splicing domain towards recognition of inhibitors, along with active site residues through strong hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic contacts. However, in vitro and in vivo assays are required to confirm the inhibitory action on Prp8 intein splicing; which may pave the way for the development of new antifungals for A. fumigatus.

description: Liberalisation of generation and supply activities in the electricity sectors is often followed by regulatory reform of distribution networks. In order to improve the efficiency of distribution utilities, some regulators have adopted incentive regulation schemes that rely on performance benchmarking. Although regulation benchmarking can influence the �regulation game�, the subject has received limited attention. This paper discusses how strategic behaviour can result in inefficient behaviour by firms. We also present a survey of issues encountered by electricity regulators. We then use the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method with US utility data to examine implications of selected cases of strategic behaviour. The results show that gaming can have significant effects on the measured performance and profitability of firms.

description: The renormalization group method is applied for obtaining the asymptotic form of the wave function of the quantum anharmonic oscillator by resumming the perturbation series. It is shown that the resumed series is the cumulant of the naive perturbation series. Working out up to the sixth order and performing a further resummation proposed by Bender and Bettencourt, we find that the agreement with the WKB result becomes worse in the higher orders than the fourth at which the agreement is the best.

We show that (1) the system with ODLRO in $ρ_2$ can not support a non uniform, cylindrically symmetric magnetic field; (2) the system with ODLRO in $ρ_2$ can not support a magnetic field slowly varying in space, and the magnetic flux trapped in it is quantized.

description: We present results from a pilot observation of nearby (~20 Mpc) galaxies with mass similar to that of the Milky Way (MW) to address the missing satellite problem. This is the first paper from an on-going project to address the problem with a statistical sample of galaxies outside of the Local Group (LG) without employing an assumption that the LG is a typical halo in the Universe. Thanks to the close distances of our targets, dwarf galaxies around them can be identified as extended, diffuse galaxies. By applying a surface brightness cut together with a careful visual screening to remove artifacts and background contamination, we construct a sample of dwarf galaxies. The luminosity function (LF) of one of the targets is broadly consistent with that of the MW, but the other has a more abundant dwarf population. Numerical simulations by Okamoto (2013) seem to overpredict the number of dwarfs on average, while more recent predictions from Copernicus Complexio are in a better agreement. In both observations and simulations, there is a large diversity in the LFs, demonstrating the importance of addressing the missing satellite problem with a statistically representative sample. We also characterize the projected spatial distributions of the satellites and do not observe strong evidence for alignments around the central galaxies. Based on this successful pilot observation, we are carrying out further observations to increase the sample of nearby galaxies, which we plan to report in our future paper.

Year: 2004

description: This paper investigates the statistical properties of the Black-Scholes option price under a Bayesian approach. We incorporate randomness, both in the price process and in volatility, to derive the prior and posterior densities of a European call option. Expressions for the density of the option price conditional on the sample estimates of volatility and on the asset price respectively, are also derived. Numerical results are presented to compare how the dispersion of the option price changes in the transition from prior to posterior information, where information may be price or sample variance or both.

description: After the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in late 2019, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has undergone a dynamic evolution driven by the acquisition of genetic modifications, resulting in several variants that are further classified as variants of interest (VOIs), variants under monitoring (VUM) and variants of concern (VOC) by World Health Organization (WHO). Currently, there are five SARS-CoV-2 VOCs (Alpha, Beta, Delta, Gamma and Omicron), two VOIs (Lambda and Mu) and several other VOIs that have been reported globally. In this study, we report a natural compound, Curcumin, as the potential inhibitor to the interactions between receptor binding domain (RBD(S1)) and human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) domains and showcased its inhibitory potential for the Delta and Omicron variants through a computational approach by implementing state of the art methods. The study for the first time revealed a higher efficiency of Curcumin, especially for hindering the interaction between RBD(S1) and hACE-2 domains of Delta and Omicron variants as compared to other lead compounds. We investigated that the mutations in the RBD(S1) of VOC especially Delta and Omicron variants affect its structure compared to that of the wild type and other variants and therefore altered its binding to the hACE2 receptor. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation analyses substantially supported the findings in terms of the stability of the docked complexes. This study offers compelling evidence, warranting a more in-depth exploration into the impact of these alterations on the binding of identified drug molecules with the Spike protein. Further investigation into their potential therapeutic effects in vivo is highly recommended.

description: The copula function is considered within the context of financial multivariate data sets that are not normally distributed. The Bernstein polynomial approximation to copulae is given and motivated by its desirable properties. The multivariate convergence properties are analysed. The concept of Bernstein copula is introduced as a generalisation of some bivariate and higher dimensional families of copulae. Statistical properties of the Bernstein copula are studied together with implementation issues related to portfolio theory and expected utility optimisation.

description: Following the government�s decision to place Railtrack into administration (October 2001), attention has focused on what went wrong with privatisation, and how crucial network investment will be financed in future. This paper uses a social cost-benefit analysis framework to assess whether the restructuring and privatisation of British Rail has produced savings in operating costs. The paper shows that major efficiencies have been achieved, consumers have benefited through lower prices, whilst the increased government subsidy has been largely recouped through privatisation proceeds. We find that output quality has also improved (pre-Hatfield). The achievement of further savings will be key to delivering improved rail services in the future. This paper finds that a privatised structure, where shareholders demand a return on their investment, has led to significant improvements in operating efficiency - it remains to be seen whether the new regime, with a not-for-profit infrastructure owner, will deliver the same efficiency improvements.

description: This paper presents a neural network based methodology for examining the learning of game-playing rules in never-before seen games. A network is trained to pick Nash equilibria in a set of games and then released to play a larger set of new games. While faultlessly selecting Nash equilibria in never-before seen games is too complex a task for the network, Nash equilibria are chosen approximately 60% of the times. Furthermore, despite training the network to select Nash equilibria, what emerges are endogenously obtained bounded-rational rules which are closer to payoff dominance, and the best response to payoff dominance.

description: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a notorious pathogen that has emerged as a serious global health concern over the past few decades. Staphylococcal accessory regulator A (SarA) and 4,4′-diapophytoene synthase (CrtM) play a crucial role in biofilm formation and staphyloxanthin biosynthesis. Thus, the present study used a machine learning-based QSAR model to screen 1261 plant-derived natural organic compounds in order to identify a medication candidate with both biofilm and virulence inhibitory potential. Additionally, the in-silico molecular docking analysis has demonstrated significant binding efficacy of the identified hit compound, that is 85137543, with SarA and CrtM when compared to the control compound, hesperidin. Post-MD simulation analysis of the complexes depicted strong binding of 85137543 to both SarA and CrtM. Moreover, 85137543 showed hydrogen bonding with the key residues of both proteins during docking (ALA138 of SarA and ALA134 of CrtM) and post-MD simulation (LYS273 of CrtM and ASN212 of SarA). The RMSD of 85137543 was stable and consistent when bound to both CrtM and SarA with RMSDs of 1.3 and 1 nm, respectively. In addition, principal component analysis and the free energy landscape showed stable complex formation with both proteins. Low binding free energy (ΔGTotal) was observed by 85137543 for SarA (−47.92 kcal/mol) and CrtM (−36.43 kcal/mol), which showed strong binding. Overall, this study identified 85137543 as a potential inhibitor of both SarA and CrtM in MRSA.

description: It is shown that the high-energy expansion of the scattering amplitude calculated from Feynman diagrams factorizes in such a way that it can be reduced to the eikonalized form up to the terms of inverse power in energy in accordance with results obtained by solving the Klein-Gordon equation. Therefore the two approaches when applied to the suppression of the emission of soft photons by fast charged particles in dense matter should give rise to the same results. A particular limit of thin targets is briefly discussed.

description: With this study we investigate the accuracy of deep learning models for the inference of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes solutions. We focus on a modernized U-net architecture, and evaluate a large number of trained neural networks with respect to their accuracy for the calculation of pressure and velocity distributions. In particular, we illustrate how training data size and the number of weights influence the accuracy of the solutions. With our best models we arrive at a mean relative pressure and velocity error of less than 3% across a range of previously unseen airfoil shapes. In addition all source code is publicly available in order to ensure reproducibility and to provide a starting point for researchers interested in deep learning methods for physics problems. While this work focuses on RANS solutions, the neural network architecture and learning setup are very generic, and applicable to a wide range of PDE boundary value problems on Cartesian grids.

description: We study the dependence on $\tanβ$ of the event kinematics of final states with $e^+e^- /μ^+μ^- /e^{\pm}μ^{\mp} + E_T^{\rm miss} + jets$, as expected in $pp$ collisions at CERN LHC, within the framework of the minimal supergravity model. With increase of $\tanβ$, the third generation sparticle masses $m_{\tildeτ_1}$ and $m_{\tilde{b}_1}$ decrease due to the increase of the tau and bottom Yukawa couplings. As a result, gluino, stop, sbottom, chargino and neutralino decays to third generation particles and sparticles are enhanced. With $\tanβ$ rising, we observe a characteristic change in the shape of the dilepton mass spectra in $e^+e^- /μ^+μ^- +E_T^{\rm miss} + jets$ versus $e^{\pm}μ^{\mp} + E_T^{\rm miss} + jets$ final states, reflecting the presence of the decays $\tildeχ_2^0\to \tilde{\ell}_{L,R}^{\pm}\ell^{\mp}\to \tildeχ_1^0 \ell^+\ell^-, \tildeχ_2^0\to \tildeχ_1^0 \ell^+\ell^-$ and $\tildeχ_2^0\to \tildeτ^{\pm}_1τ^{\mp}\to \tildeχ_1^0 τ^+ τ^-$, $\tildeχ_2^0\to τ^+ τ^- \tildeχ_1^0$, respectively. We exploit this effect for constraining the value of $\tanβ$.

description: Molecular docking techniques are routinely employed for predicting ligand binding conformations and affinities in the in silico phase of the drug design and development process. In this study, a reliable semiempirical quantum mechanics (SQM) method, PM7, was employed for geometry optimization of top-ranked poses obtained from two widely used docking programs, AutoDock4 and AutoDock Vina. The PDBbind core set (version 2016), which contains high-quality crystal protein − ligand complexes with their corresponding experimental binding affinities, was used as an initial dataset in this research. It was shown that docking pose optimization improves the accuracy of pose predictions and is very useful for the refinement of docked complexes via removing clashes between ligands and proteins. It was also demonstrated that AutoDock Vina achieves a higher sampling power than AutoDock4 in generating accurate ligand poses (RMSD ≤ 2.0 Å), while AutoDock4 exhibits a better ranking power than AutoDock Vina. Finally, a new protocol based on a combination of the results obtained from the two docking programs was proposed for structure-based virtual screening studies, which benefits from the robust sampling abilities of AutoDock Vina and the reliable ranking performance of AutoDock4.

description: In a recent letter -Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 3331 (1995)-, the conclusion was reached that, in the one-dimensional Calogero model, only the second virial coefficient is affected by the statistical parameter $α$, where $α$ is related to the coupling constant $κ/ x_{ij}^2$ of the Calogero interaction by $κ=α(α+1)$. We argue that it is not so, i.e. all virial coefficients are affected, if the thermodynamic limit is properly taken.

description: Explicit modelling of factor markets clarifies two fundamental aspects of the New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC). First, we clarify the relationship between output and marginal cost. Second, for the NKPC in inflation-output space, we identify the key stochastic influences on inflation without recourse to ad hoc cost or excess demand shocks. The econometric implementation of this clarified NKPC, based on Campbell (1987), allows us jointly to derive inflation as a forecast of future variables and infer the degree of price stickiness in real-world data. Our approach clarifies the empirical successes and failures of the NKPC.
Operator Manifold Approach to Geometry and Particle Physics

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The question that guides our discussion is how did the geometry and particles come into being. The present theory reveals primordial deeper structures underlying fundamental concepts of contemporary physics. We begin with a drastic revision of a role of local internal symmetries in physical concept of curved geometry. A standard gauge principle of local internal symmetries is generalized. The gravitation gauge group is proposed, which is generated by hidden local internal symmetries. Last two parts address to the question of physical origin of geometry and basic concepts of particle physics such as the fields of quarks with the spins and various quantum numbers, internal symmetries and so forth; also four basic principles of Relativity, Quantum, Gauge and Color Confinement, which are, as it was proven, all derivative and come into being simultaneously. The most promising aspect of our approach so far is the fact that many of the important anticipated properties, basic concepts and principles of particle physics are appeared quite naturally in the framework of suggested theory.

description: We report on a search for D0-D0B mixing made by studying the `wrong-sign' process D0->K^+pi^-. The data come from an integrated luminosity of 9.0 1/fb of e^+e^- collisions at s^(1/2) of approximately 10 GeV recorded with the CLEO II.V detector. We measure the time integrated rate of the `wrong-sign' process D0->K^+pi^- relative to that of the Cabibbo-favored process D0B->K^+pi^- to be R=(0.332^{+0.063}_{-0.065}+-0.040)%. We study D0->K^+pi^- as a function of decay time to distinguish direct doubly Cabibbo-suppressed decay from D0-D0B mixing. The amplitudes that describe D0-D0B mixing, x' and y', are consistent with zero. At the 95% C.L. and without assumptions concerning charge-parity (CP) violating parameters, we find (1/2)x'^2 < 0.041% and -5.8% < y' < 1.0%.

description: Two UK business services companies are compared both to each other and to their common state-owned industry background in order to assess the implications of trade union recognition and changed bargaining structure. Union recognition had been abandoned by one company under the agenda of "individualization" and "personal contracts" but retained by the other under the agenda of "partnership". Changes in the level at which employment relationships are regulated occurred at both companies relative to their ancestral public enterprises. The similarity of the companies in terms of products, technologies and institutional history provides an approximation to a natural experiment. The evidence suggests only secondary effects from union presence upon operational attributes and economic performance, but major effects from the decentralization of employment relations, which formed part of a wider and more radical set of changes in the relevant markets, technologies, ownership structures and labour law.
