description: Starspots and flares are indicators of stellar magnetic activity that can both be studied in greater detail by utilizing the long-term, space-based archive of the Kepler satellite. Here, we aim to investigate a subset of the Kepler archive to reveal a connection between the starspots and the stellar flares, in order to provide insight into the overall stellar magnetic field. We use the flare-finding algorithm FLATW'RM in conjunction with a new suite of algorithms that aim to locate the local minima caused by starspot groups. We compare the phase difference between the time of maximum flux of a flare and the time of minimum stellar flux due to a starspot group. The strongest flares do not appear to be correlated to the largest starspot group present, but are also not uniformly distributed in phase with respect to the starspot group. The weaker flares, however, do show an increased occurrence close to the starspot groups.

description: The sacred lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is widely cultured in East Asia for its horticultural, agricultural, and medicinal values. Although many molecular markers had been used to extrapolate population genetics of the sacred lotus, a study of large variations, such as copy number variation (CNV), are absent up to now. In this study, we applied whole-genome re-sequencing to 24 lotus accessions, and use read depth information to genotype and filter original CNV call. Totally 448 duplications and 4,267 deletions were identified in the final CNV set. Further analysis of population structure revealed that the population structure patterns revealed by CNV and SNP are largely consistent with each other. Our result indicated that deep sequencing followed by genotyping is a quick and straightforward way to mine out CNV from the population, and the CNV along with SNP could enable us to better comprehend the biology of the plant. Result of whole-genome re-sequencing to 24 lotus accessions indicates that deep sequencing followed by genotyping is a quick and straightforward way for CNV calling.
Skyrmions in quantum Hall ferromagnets as spin-waves bound to unbalanced magnetic flux quanta

description: A microscopic description of (baby)skyrmions in quantum Hall ferromagnets is derived from a scattering theory of collective (neutral) spin modes by a bare quasiparticle. We start by mapping the low lying spectrum of spin waves in the uniform ferromagnet onto that of free moving spin excitons, and then we study their scattering by the defect of charge. In the presence of this disturbance, the local spin stiffness varies in space, and we translate it into an inhomogeneus metric in the Hilbert space supporting the excitons. An attractive potencial is then required to preserve the symmetry under global spin rotations, and it traps the excitons around the charged defect. The quasiparticle now carries a spin texture. Textures containing more than one exciton are described within a mean-field theory, the interaction among the excitons being taken into account through a new renormalization of the metric. The number of excitons actually bound depends on the Zeeman coupling, that plays the same role as a chemical potencial. For small Zeeman energies, the defect binds many excitons which condensate. As the bound excitons have a unit of angular momentum, provided by the quantum of magnetic flux left unbalanced by the defect of charge, the resulting texture turns out to be a topological excitation of charge 1. Its energy is that given by the non-linear sigma model for the ground state in this topological sector, i.e. the texture is a skyrmion.

description: We address the intensively studied extended bosonic Hubbard model (EBHM) with truncation of the on-site Hilbert space to the three lowest occupation states n=0,1,2 in frames of the S=1 pseudospin formalism. Similar model was recently proposed to describe the charge degree of freedom in a model high-Tc cuprate with the on-site Hilbert space reduced to the three effective valence centers, nominally Cu^{1+;2+;3+} . With small corrections the model becomes equivalent to a strongly anisotropic S=1 quantum magnet in an external magnetic field. We have applied a generalized mean-field approach and quantum Monte-Carlo technique for the model 2D S=1 system with a two-particle transport to find the ground state phase with its evolution under deviation from half-filling.

Late-time creation of gravitinos from the vacuum

description: Starting with the vacuum fluctuation, it is known that gravitinos will be created just after inflation, with number density $\sim 10^{-2}M^3$ where $M$ is the mass of the inflaton. Here, we argue that creation may be expected to continue, maintaining about the same number density, until a usually much later epoch. This epoch is either the `intermediate epoch' when Hubble parameter falls below the gravitino mass, or the reheat epoch if that is earlier. We verify that such late-time creation indeed occurs if only a single chiral superfield is relevant, using the description of the helicity 1/2 gravitino provided recently by Kallosh et. al. (hep-th/9907124) and Giudice et. al. (hep-ph/9907510). Arguments are presented in favor of late-time creation in the general case. For the usual inflation models, $M$ is rather large and gravitinos from late-time creation are so abundant that a subsequent era of thermal inflation is needed to dilute them.

Addressing the hypertriton lifetime puzzle with ALICE at the LHC

description: The ALICE Collaboration collected a large data sample of Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm{NN}}}$ = 5.02 TeV in 2015 at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the excellent particle identification (PID) capabilities allow for the detection of rarely produced (anti-)hypernuclei. In particular, the (anti-)hypertriton, $^3_Λ$H, which is a bound state of a proton, a neutron and a $Λ$, is the lightest known hypernucleus. The results on the $^3_Λ$H production are compared with the predictions from a model based on coalescence approach and from statistical-thermal models to investigate the production mechanisms in heavy-ion collisions. Emphasis will also be put on the latest and more precise determination of the $^3_Λ$H lifetime.

description: Recently, in Phys. Rev. D 98, 084002 (2018), an investigation was carried out on the gravitational radiation from binary systems in conformal gravity and massive conformal gravity. According to the authors of the paper, these two theories differ only by the sign of a parameter in the matter action of a general conformal theory. For a negative parameter the general conformal theory indeed corresponds to conformal gravity. However, here, we argue that for a positive parameter the general conformal theory does not correspond to massive conformal gravity.

description: Quantum fields on a stationary space-time in a rotating Killing reference frame are considered. Finding solutions of wave equations in this frame is reduced to a fiducial problem on a static background. The rotation results in a gauge connection in a way similar to appearance of gauge fields in Kaluza-Klein models. Such a Kaluza-Klein method in theory of rotating quantum fields enables one to simplify computations and get a number of new results similar to those established for static backgrounds. In particular, we find with its help functional form of free energy at high temperatures. Applications of these results to quantum fields near rotating black holes are briefly discussed.

description: We study dephasing of electrons induced by a which path detector and thus verify Bohr's complementarity principle for fermions. We utilize a double path interferometer with two slits, with one slit being replaced by a coherent quantum dot (QD). A short one dimensional channel, in the form of a quantum point contact (QPC), in close proximity to the QD, serves as a which path detector. We find that by varying the properties of the QPC detector we affect the visibility of the interference, inducing thus dephasing. We develop a simple model to explain the dephasing due to the nearby detector and find good agreement with the experiment.

description: We have analyzed the latest NA50 data on transverse energy distributions and $J/ψ$ suppression in Pb+Pb collisions. The transverse energy distribution was analysed in the geometric model of AA collisions. In the geometric model, fluctuations in the number of NN collisions at fixed impact parameter are taken into account. Analysis suggests that in Pb+Pb collisions, individual NN collisions produces less $$, than in other AA collisions. The nucleons are more transparent in Pb+Pb collisions. The transverse energy dependence of the $J/ψ$ suppression was obtained following the model of Blaizot et al, where charmonium suppression is assumed to be 100% effective above a threshold density. With fluctuations in number of NN collisions taken into account, good fit to the data is obtained, with a single parameter, the threshold density.

description: The evolution of the magnetic field in an accreting neutron star is investigated using a fully general relativistic treatment and assuming that initially the currents supporting the field are completely confined to the crust. We find that the field decay slows down due to the inclusion of the curvature of space-time but the final results do not differ significantly from those obtained assuming a flat space-time. We also find that such modifications are small compared to the uncertainties introduced by a lack of precise knowledge of the neutron star micro-physics.

description: We calculate the CMB anisotropy in compact hyperbolic universe models using the regularized method of images described in paper-I, including the 'line-of-sight `integrated Sachs-Wolfe' effect, as well as the last-scattering surface terms. We calculate the Bayesian probabilities for a selection of models by confronting our theoretical pixel-pixel temperature correlation functions with the COBE-DMR data. Our results demonstrate that strong constraints on compactness arise: if the universe is small compared to the `horizon' size, correlations appear in the maps that are irreconcilable with the observations. This conclusion is qualitatively insensitive to the matter content of the universe, in particular, the presence of a cosmological constant. If the universe is of comparable size to the 'horizon', the likelihood function is very dependent upon orientation of the manifold wrt the sky. While most orientations may be strongly ruled out, it sometimes happens that for a specific orientation the predicted correlation patterns are preferred over those for the conventional infinite models. The full Bayesian analysis we use is the most complete statistical test that can be done on the COBE maps, taking into account all possible signals and their variances in the theoretical skies, in particular the high degree of anisotropic correlation that can exist. We show that standard visual measures for comparing theoretical predictions with the data such as the isotropized power spectrum $C_\ell$ are not so useful in small compact spaces because of enhanced cosmic variance associated with the breakdown of statistical isotropy.

Reflection coefficient and localization length of waves in one-dimensional random media

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We develop a novel and powerful method of exactly calculating various transport characteristics of waves in one-dimensional random media with (or without) coherent absorption or amplification. Using the method, we compute the probability densities of the reflectance and of the phase of the reflection coefficient, together with the localization length, of electromagnetic waves in sufficiently long random dielectric media. We find substantial differences between our exact results and the previous results obtained using the random phase approximation (RPA). The probabilty density of the phase of the reflection coefficient is highly nonuniform when either disorder or absorption (or amplification) is strong. The probability density of the reflectance when the absorption or amplification parameter is large is also quite different from the RPA result. We prove that the probability densities in the amplifying case are related to those in the absorbing case with the same magnitude of the imaginary part of the dielectric permeability by exact dual relationships. From the analysis of the average reflectance that shows a nonmonotonic dependence on the absorption or amplification parameter, we obtain a useful criterion for the applicability of the RPA. In the parameter regime where the RPA is invalid, we find the exact localization length is substantially larger than the RPA localization length.

These weights take 5-year age group, sex and month of donation into account. Month of donation is included as the age group and sex distribution of the donations can change considerably from month to month. The age range in the MBTS data spans from 15 years to 63 years. For this reason we used 5-year age band from 15-19 up to 60-64. The total population size is calculated for these age bands only. The table shows the first 20 rows of the population weights used to compute the estimate of the overall seroprevalence and for weighting.

Apart from ordinary solitons and single particle impurity band states, the many-particle spectrum of the system contains massive pairs of confined gap excitations and their bound complexes - gap solitons. In addition, ``composite'' solitons are predicted as bound states of ordinary and gap solitons. Quantum gap and composite solitons propagate without dissipation, and should be associated with self-induced transparency pulses in a FGM.

description: Background: Fluctuations in emergency medical services (EMS) responses can have a substantial impact on the ability of agencies to meet resource needs within an EMS system. We aimed to identify weather characteristics as potentially predictable factors associated with EMS responses. Methods: We reviewed hourly counts of scene responses documented by 24 EMS agencies in Western Pennsylvania from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2017 and compared rates of responses to weather characteristics. Responses to counties nonadjacent to the studied weather reporting station and interfacility/scheduled transports were excluded. We identified the mean temperature, meters visibility, dew point, wind speed, total millimeters of precipitation, and presence of rain or snow in 6-hour windows prior to dispatch, in addition to temporal factors of time of day and weekend vs. weekday. Analysis was performed using multivariable linear regression of a negative binomial distribution, reporting incidence rate ratios (IRR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). Secondary analyses were performed for transports to the hospital and cases involving transports for traumatic complaints and pediatric patients (age <18 years). Results: We included 529,058 responses (54.8% female, mean age 57.2 ± SD 24.7 years). In our multivariable model, responses were associated with (IRR, 95% CI) rain (1.10, 1.08–1.11) snow (1.07, 1.05–1.09), and both rain and snow (1.15, 1.11–1.19). A lower incidence of responses occurred on weekends (0.84, 0.83–0.85) and at night (0.62, 0.61–0.62). Increasing temperature in 5 °C increments was associated with an increase in responses across seasons with an effect that varied between 1.16 (1.15–1.17) in winter to 1.31 (1.28–1.33) in summer. Windy weather was associated with increased responses from light breeze (1.10, 1.09–1.11) to fresh breeze or greater (1.23, 1.16–1.30). Transports occurred in a similar pattern to responses. Trauma transports (n = 64,235) occurred more during weekends (1.04, 1.02–1.06). Pediatric transports (n = 21,880) were not significantly associated with precipitation or season. Conclusion: EMS responses increased with rising temperature and following rain and snow. These findings may assist in planning by EMS agencies and emergency departments to identify periods of greatest resource utilization.
Two-Pion Decay Widths of Excited Charm Mesons

description: The widths for $ππ$ decay of the L=1 charm mesons are calculated by describing the pion coupling to light constituents quarks by the lowest order chiral interaction. The wavefunctions of the charm mesons are obtained as solutions to the covariant Blankenbecler-Sugar equation. These solutions correspond to an interaction Hamiltonian modeled as the sum of a linear scalar confining and a screened one-gluon exchange (OGE) interaction. This interaction induces a two-quark contribution to the amplitude for two-pion decay, which is found to interfere destructively with the single quark amplitude. For the currently known L=1 $D$ mesons, the total $ππ$ decay widths are found to be $\sim 1$ MeV for the $D_1(2420)$ and $\sim 3$ MeV for the $D^*_2(2460)$ if the axial coupling of the constituent quark is taken to be $g_A^q=1$. The as yet undiscovered spin singlet $D_1^*$ state is predicted to have a larger width of 7 - 10 MeV for $ππ$ decay.

description: We investigate the phenomenology of warm inflation and present generic results about the evolution of the inflaton and radiation fields. The general conditions required for warm inflation to take place are derived and discussed. A comprehensive approach is presented for the generation of thermally induced adiabatic and isocurvature perturbations and the amplitude of their spectra calculated. In addition we derive the ratio of tensor-to-scalar perturbations and find the spectral indices for adiabatic, isocurvature and tensor perturbations formed in the warm inflationary era. These results are presented in a simplified and compact approach that is generally applicable. Our results are illustrated by inflation models with polynomial and exponential potentials. We compare our analytic results against numerical models and find excellent agreement. Finally, presently available data is used to put constraints on warm inflation and we discuss how near--future observations may distinguish the warm inflationary scenario from standard supercooled inflation. The main observable difference is the different scalar-to- tensor ratio, and that the consistency relation between this and the slope of tensor perturbations does not hold for warm inflation.

description: The aim of this paper is to present the impact achieved by Frascati Scienza Association on society and research through the European Researchers' Night project funded by the European Commission within the years 2006-2015. The project has been devoted to raise awareness of researchers' work, encourage the dialogue between researchers and citizens and the choice of young people to pursue a career in science. The first scientific activities and cultural events took shape in 2006, under the coordination of the National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN), through the European Researchers' Night project, the most important and significant event to promote the role of the researcher and bring people of all ages closer to the scientific world. The positive and successful experience of the first two events, pushed the researchers and citizens of Frascati, where most of Italian research centers and infrastructures are located, to formally associate in the Frascati Scienza in 2008, who started to coordinate the event from 2008. Frascati Scienza was driven by the need to promote educational activities to citizens, young people and schools, in order to involve the general public in science and to bring researchers closer to society.

description: Macrophage foam cell formation and inflammation are a pathological hallmark of atherosclerosis. ClC-2 has been implicated in various pathological processes, including inflammation and lipid metabolic disorder. However, the functional role of ClC-2 in macrophage foam cell formation and inflammation is unclear. Here, we found that ClC-2 was dominantly expressed in macrophages of atherosclerotic plaque and increased in atherogenesis. Knockdown of ClC-2 inhibited ox-LDL -induced lipid uptake and deposition in macrophages. The increase in CD36 expression and the decrease in ABCA1 expression induced by ox-LDL were alleviated by ClC-2 downregulation. Further, ClC-2 lacking limited the ox-LDL-induced secretion of inflammatory cytokines and chemokine, and suppressed Nlrp3 inflammasome activation. Restoration of Nlrp3 expression reversed the effect of ClC-2 downregulation on macrophage lipid accumulation and inflammation. Collectively, our study demonstrates that ClC-2 knockdown ameliorates ox-LDL-induced macrophage foam cell formation and inflammation by inhibiting Nlrp3 inflammasome activation. Macrophage ClC-2 lacking limits inflammation and foam cell formation, suggesting that ClC-2 may be a therapeutic target for atherosclerosis treatment.
Shot noise in diffusive conductors: A quantitative analysis of electron-phonon interaction effects

description: Using the 'drift-diffusion-Langevin' equation, we have quantitatively analyzed the effects of electron energy relaxation via their interaction with phonons, generally in presence of electron-electron interaction, on shot noise in diffusive conductors. We have found that the noise power $ S_I(ω)$ (both at low and high observation frequencies $ω$) drops to half of its 'mesoscopic' value only at $β\gtrsim 100,$ where $β$ is the ratio of the sample length $L$ to the energy relaxation length $l_{% {\rm ph}}$ (the latter may be much larger then the dephasing length). It means in particular that at low temperatures the shot noise may be substantial even when $L\sim 10^{-2}$ -- $10^{-1}$ cm, and the conductor is 'macroscopic' in any other respect.

active flow control

description: Active flow control has the potential of achieving remarkable drag reductions in applications for fluid mechanics, when combined with deep reinforcement learning (DRL). The high computational demands for CFD simulations currently limits the applicability of DRL to rather simple cases, such as the flow past a cylinder, as a consequence of the large amount of simulations which have to be carried out throughout the training. One possible approach of reducing the computational requirements is to substitute the simulations partially with models, e.g. deep neural networks; however, model uncertainties and error propagation may lead an unstable training and deteriorated performance compared to the model-free counterpart. The present thesis aims to modify the model-free training routine for controlling the flow past a cylinder towards a model-based one. Therefore, the policy training alternates between the CFD environment and environment models, which are trained successively over the course of the policy optimization. In order to reduce uncertainties and consequently improve the prediction accuracy, the CFD environment is represented by two model ensembles responsible for predicting the states and lift force as well as the aerodynamic drag, respectively. It could have been shown that this approach is able to yield a comparable performance to the model-free training routine at a Reynolds number of Re = 100 while reducing the overall runtime by up to 68.91%. The model-based training, however, showed a high dependency of the performance and stability on the initialization, which needs to be investigated further.
"Lattice-Free" Simulations of Topological Defect Formation

description: We examine simulations of the formation of domain walls, cosmic strings, and monopoles on a cubic lattice, in which the topological defects are assumed to lie at the zeros of a piecewise constant 1, 2, or 3 component Gaussian random field, respectively. We derive analytic expressions for the corresponding topological defect densities in the continuum limit and show that they fail to agree with simulation results, even when the fields are smoothed on small scales to eliminate lattice effects. We demonstrate that this discrepancy, which is related to a classic geometric fallacy, is due to the anisotropy of the cubic lattice, which cannot be eliminated by smoothing. This problem can be resolved by linearly interpolating the field values on the lattice, which gives results in good agreement with the continuum predictions. We use this procedure to obtain a lattice-free estimate (for Gaussian smoothing) of the fraction of the total length of string in the form of infinite strings: $f_\infty = 0.716 \pm 0.015$.

description: We report first-principles calculations that clarify the formation energies and charge transition levels of native point defects and carbon clusters in the 4H polytype of silicon carbide (4H-SiC) under a carbon-rich condition. We applied a hybrid functional that reproduces the experimental bandgap of SiC well and offers reliable defect properties. For point defects, we investigated single vacancies, antisites, and interstitials of Si and C on relevant sites. For carbon clusters, we systematically introduced two additional C atoms into the perfect 4H-SiC lattice with and without removing Si atoms and performed structural optimization to identify stable defect configurations. We found that neutral Si antisites are energetically favorable among Si-point defects in a wide range of the Fermi level position around the intrinsic regime, whereas negatively-charged Si vacancies and a positively-charged Si interstitial on a site surrounded by three Si and three C atoms become favorable under n- and p-type conditions, respectively. For C-point defects, neutral C antisites are favorable under intrinsic and n-type conditions, whereas positively-charged C vacancies become favorable under p-type conditions. We also found that a di-carbon antisite is more favorable than a C-split interstitial, which is the most stable form of single C interstitials.

description: The eating disorder clinical and scientific community advocates for the use of a shared approach to healthcare that actively involves patients and carers. A systematic review of the literature on guided self-help or self-help in anorexia nervosa (targeting either the individual affected by the illness or their carers) and meta-analyses of studies using randomised controlled designs for the evaluation of the outcomes: (1) drop-out from end-of-treatment assessment, (2) body mass index (BMI), (3) anxiety, (4) depression and (5) quality of life, were undertaken. Guided self-help was directed to patients in 15 studies and to carers in seven studies. The interventions were based on a variety of theoretical models, used different formats (books and digital materials), and were delivered by individuals with a range of experiences and expertise (e.g. individuals with lived experience of the illness, graduate students, or clinically trained professionals). Guided self-help was associated with significantly lower drop-out from the completion of end-of-treatment assessments compared to a control condition. There was an improvement in carers’ wellbeing from skill-sharing interventions. Guided self-help may facilitate patients' treatment engagement and also improve carers' wellbeing.

description: In vivo wireless body area networks (WBANs) and their associated technologies are shaping the future of healthcare by providing continuous health monitoring and noninvasive surgical capabilities, in addition to remote diagnostic and treatment of diseases. To fully exploit the potential of such devices, it is necessary to characterize the communication channel which will help to build reliable and high-performance communication systems. This paper presents an in vivo wireless communication channel characterization for male torso both numerically and experimentally (on a human cadaver) considering various organs at 915 MHz and 2.4 GHz. A statistical path loss (PL) model is introduced, and the anatomical region-specific parameters are provided. It is found that the mean PL in dB scale exhibits a linear decaying characteristic rather than an exponential decaying profile inside the body, and the power decay rate is approximately twice at 2.4 GHz as compared to 915 MHz. Moreover, the variance of shadowing increases significantly as the in vivo antenna is placed deeper inside the body since the main scatterers are present in the vicinity of the antenna. Multipath propagation characteristics are also investigated to facilitate proper waveform designs in the future wireless healthcare systems, and a root-mean-square (RMS) delay spread of 2.76 ns is observed at 5 cm depth. Results show that the in vivo channel exhibit different characteristics than the classical communication channels, and location dependency is very critical for accurate, reliable, and energy-efficient link budget calculations.
