description: The scattering amplitudes of string theory exhibit many extraordinary properties. But are they the unique mathematical objects to do so? Recently, it has been shown how the spectrum and amplitudes of open string theory follow directly from the assumptions of faster than power-law falloff at high energies and a property dubbed level truncation. At present there is no analogous principle for closed string scattering, which is famously rigid and naively impervious to modification. In this paper we analytically bootstrap the spectrum and four-point amplitudes of the closed string -- together with a parameterized space of deformations -- from conditions on high-energy falloff and level truncation. While these deformations exhibit the same Regge scaling as pure gravity, in the tensionless limit they reproduce remarkable extremal amplitudes that have appeared in bottom-up studies of positivity.

description: A phytochemical investigation of the stems and leaves of Piper wallichii led to the isolation of two new compounds, an aryl alkanone, piwalkanone (1) and a dioxoaporphine alkaloid, piwallidione (2), together with nine known compounds, a dioxoaporphine alkaloid, cepharadione A (3); two aristolactams, piperolactam A (4) and stigmalactam (5); a piperidine, piperine (6); four isobutylamides, piperlonguminine (7), pellitorine (8), N‐isobutyl‐2E,4E‐octadecadienamide (9), and guineensine (10); and a tyramine, N-trans-feruloyltyramine (11). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectroscopic evidence (IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 2 D NMR) and MS. Compounds 2 and 3 showed inhibitory activities against pathogenic bacteria, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus.

description: Amidst the rise of Large Multimodal Models (LMMs) and their widespread application in generating and interpreting complex content, the risk of propagating biased and harmful memes remains significant. Current safety measures often fail to detect subtly integrated hateful content within ``Confounder Memes''. To address this, we introduce \textsc{HateSieve}, a new framework designed to enhance the detection and segmentation of hateful elements in memes. \textsc{HateSieve} features a novel Contrastive Meme Generator that creates semantically paired memes, a customized triplet dataset for contrastive learning, and an Image-Text Alignment module that produces context-aware embeddings for accurate meme segmentation. Empirical experiments on the Hateful Meme Dataset show that \textsc{HateSieve} not only surpasses existing LMMs in performance with fewer trainable parameters but also offers a robust mechanism for precisely identifying and isolating hateful content. \textcolor{red}{Caution: Contains academic discussions of hate speech; viewer discretion advised.}

description: We adopt up-to-date yields of 7Li, 13C, 15N from classical novae and use a well tested model for the chemical evolution of the Milky Way in order to predict the temporal evolution of these elemental species in the solar neighborhood. In spite of major uncertainties due to our lack of knowledge of metallicity effects on the final products of explosive nucleosynthesis in nova outbursts, we find a satisfactory agreement between theoretical predictions and observations for 7Li and 13C. On the contrary, 15N turns out to be overproduced by about an order of magnitude.

description: Galaxies modeled as singular isothermal ellipsoids with an axis ratio distribution similar to the observed axis ratio distribution of E and S0 galaxies are statistically consistent with both the observed numbers of two-image and four-image lenses and the inferred ellipticities of individual lenses. However, no four-image lens is well fit by the model (typical $χ^2/N_{dof} \sim 20$), the axis ratio of the model can be significantly different from that of the observed lens galaxy, and the major axes of the model and the galaxy may be slightly misaligned. We found that models with a second, independent, external shear axis could fit the data well (typical $χ^2/N_{dof} \sim 1$), while adding the same number of extra parameters to the radial mass distribution does not produce such a dramatic improvement in the fit. An independent shear axis can be produced by misalignments between the luminous galaxy and its dark matter halo, or by external shear perturbations due to galaxies and clusters correlated with the primary lens or along the line of sight. We estimate that the external shear perturbations have no significant effect on the expected numbers of two-image and four-image lenses, but that they can be important perturbations in individual lens models. However, the amplitudes of the external shears required to produce the good fits are larger than our estimates for typical external shear perturbations (10-15% shear instead of 1-3% shear) suggesting that the origin of the extra angular structure must be intrinsic to the primary lens galaxy in most cases.

description: Monocytes and macrophages are key players in maintaining immune homeostasis. Identifying strategies to manipulate their functions via gene delivery is thus of great interest for immunological research and biomedical applications. We set out to establish conditions for mRNA transfection in hard-to-transfect primary human monocytes and monocyte-derived macrophages due to the great potential of gene expression from in vitro transcribed mRNA for modulating cell phenotypes. mRNA doses, nucleotide modifications, and different carriers were systematically explored in order to optimize high mRNA transfer rates while minimizing cell stress and immune activation. We selected three commercially available mRNA transfection reagents including liposome and polymer-based formulations, covering different application spectra. Our results demonstrate that liposomal reagents can particularly combine high gene transfer rates with only moderate immune cell activation. For the latter, use of specific nucleotide modifications proved essential. In addition to improving efficacy of gene transfer, our findings address discrete aspects of innate immune activation using cytokine and surface marker expression, as well as cell viability as key readouts to judge overall transfection efficiency. The impact of this study goes beyond optimizing transfection conditions for immune cells, by providing a framework for assessing new gene carrier systems for monocyte and macrophage, tailored to specific applications.

description: In this paper a novel biclustering algorithm based on artificial intelligence (AI) is introduced. The method called EBIC aims to detect biologically meaningful, order-preserving patterns in complex data. The proposed algorithm is probably the first one capable of discovering with accuracy exceeding 50% multiple complex patterns in real gene expression datasets. It is also one of the very few biclustering methods designed for parallel environments with multiple graphics processing units (GPUs). We demonstrate that EBIC outperforms state-of-the-art biclustering methods, in terms of recovery and relevance, on both synthetic and genetic datasets. EBIC also yields results over 12 times faster than the most accurate reference algorithms. The proposed algorithm is anticipated to be added to the repertoire of unsupervised machine learning algorithms for the analysis of datasets, including those from large-scale genomic studies.

description: Micro-air vehicles have been increasingly employed in diverse research projects in both military and civilian applications. That is because their high maneuverability and accurate mobility. Many of them have been successfully used in outdoor areas, while some have been operated indoors. However, very few have dedicated especial attention to the case of high pitch and roll movements while doing scan-line based odometry. In this paper, we present a general approach consisting of algorithms that enable small aerial robots to fly indoors. We solve the overall problem of large movement change in pitch and roll angles by improving the standard scan matching algorithm. We also validate the effectiveness of the upgraded algorithm by a set of experiments that demonstrate the ability of a small quad-rotor to autonomously operate in cluttered indoor scenarios.

It models the context-dependent utilities and underlying reasons that people take different actions. The model generalizes to unseen situations and scales to incorporate rich contextual information. We train our model using the route preferences of 25 taxi drivers demonstrated in over 100,000 miles of collected data, and demonstrate the performance of our model by inferring: (1) decision at next intersection, (2) route to known destination, and (3) destination given partially traveled route.

description: Titanocene dichloride is a well-known organometallic compound that has been tested in Phase II clinical trials in patients with metastatic breast carcinoma and advanced renal cell carcinoma. However, its activity was not very good due to the low solubility and stability of the compound in physiological medium. Therefore, the incorporation of this complex in nanoparticles could be an alternative to improve its pharmacokinetics. In this work, the design of systems based on mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) was carried out, as well as biological assays in order to compare the biological activity with the isolated complex and the influence of the chlorine atoms.MSNs were synthesized by the sol-gel method when tetraethyl orthosilicate was used as silica precursor and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide was applied as surfactant. Titanocene derivatives were covalently incorporated on the surface of MSNs through grafting reactions trough mercapto ligand. Synthesized MSNs were characterized by analytical techniques such as FTIR spectroscopy (analysis of chemical bonds), TEM analysis (morphology of MSNs), BET analysis (textural properties), and ICP-MS analysis (content of functionalized metal). The biological effects of synthesized MSNs were tested on MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 triple-negative breast cancer cell lines by metabolic assay, CM-H2DCFDA assay, immunochemical analysis, and cell cycle analysis.Treatment of MSNs functionalized with titanocene derivatives caused a decrease in the viability, mainly in MDA MB 468 cells. Further, the application of synthesized MSNs introduced ROS production with influenced cell cycle progression manifested by significant increase of the sub-G1 population after treatment with functionalized MSNs. Subsequent analysis of proteins involved in key signalling pathways revealed increased level of LC3B, the protein associated with the induction of autophagy.MSNs were synthesized to determine how the appearance, or absence, of the chlorine atom influences the activity of titanocene derivatives and to compare the biological activity with respect to the isolated complex. The biological experiments showed that the chlorine atom is not necessary for titanocene dichloride activity, but its occurrence contributes to it. This information could be applied in future research focused on the development of novel and more efficient derivatives of titanocene dichloride supported on nanomaterials.

description: Within the framework of the color flux-tube model with a multibody confinement potential, we systematically investigate the hidden charmed states observed in recent years. It can be found that most of them can be described as the compact tetraquark states $[cq][\bar{c}\bar{q}]$ ($q=u,d$ and $s$) in the color flux-tube model. The multibody confinement potential based on the color flux-tube picture is a dynamical mechanism in the formation and decay of the compact tetraquark states.

description: In this paper, we address the problem of finding organized thin structures in three-dimensional (3-D) data. Linear and planar structures segmentation received much attention but thin structures organized in complex patterns remain a challenge for segmentation algorithms. We are interested especially in the problems posed by repetitive and symmetric structures acquired with a laser range finder. The method relies on 3-D data projections along specific directions and 2-D histograms comparison. The sensitivity of the classification algorithm to the parameter settings is evaluated and a segmentation method proposed. We illustrate our approach with data from a concertina wire in terrain with vegetation.

description: CO J = 5 - 4 and J = 2 - 1 emission lines were detected towards the extremely red galaxy (ERG) HR10 (J164502+4626.4) at z=1.44. The CO intensities imply a molecular gas mass M(H2) of 1.6 x 10^{11} h^{-2}_50 solar masses, and, combined with the intensity of the dust continuum, a gas-to-dust mass ratio around 200-400 (assuming galactic values for the conversion factors). The peak of the CO lines are at the same redshift as the [O II]3727 line, but blue- shifted by 430 km s^{-1} from the Halpha line. These CO detections confirm the previous results that HR10 is a highly obscured object with a large thermal far-infrared luminosity and a high star-formation rate. The overall properties of HR10 (CO detection, L_FIR to L'_CO ratio, and FIR to radio flux ratio) clearly favour the hypothesis that its extreme characteristics are related to star-formation processes rather than to a hidden AGN.

description: We present an analysis of new data from Experiment E850 at BNL. We have characterized the inclusive cross section near the endpoint for pp exclusive scattering in Hydrogen and in Carbon with incident beam energy of 6 GeV. We select events with a pair of back-to-back hadrons at large transverse momentum. These cross sections are parameterized with a form $\frac{d σ}{d X_{L}}$ $\sim(1-X_{L})^{p}$, where ${X_{L}}$ is the ratio of the longitudinal momentum of the observed pair to the total incident beam momentum. Small value of $p$ may suggest that the number of partons participating in the reaction is large and reaction has a strong dependence on the center-of-mass energy. We also discuss nuclear effects observed in our kinematic region.

description: In this paper we present a novel gait analysis technique which can directly be used to synthesize gaits for a broad class of mechanical systems. We build upon prior work in locomotion mechanics, however we take a different approach to generate gaits that yield absolute motion of the mechanical system.We present a systematic analysis to control all parameters of a proposed type of gait which eliminates the need for intuition and guesswork as was required in the prior work. The main contribution of the paper is relating position change or motion in the ber space to a volume integral bounded by closed curves on a two dimensional manifold embedded in the base space or shape space of the robot. Not only does our method remove the restriction of using sinusoidal gaits as was the case in the prior work but it also allows for generating optimal gaits by solving a variational problem rather than solving a dynamic programming problem as was the case in the prior work.
Effective theory approach to the Schrodinger-Poisson problem in semiconductor Majorana devices

description: We propose a method for solving the Schrodinger-Poisson problem that can be efficiently implemented in realistic 3D tight-binding models of semiconductor-based Majorana devices. The method is based on two key ideas: i) For a given geometry, the Poisson problem is only solved once (for each local orbital) and the results are stored as an interaction tensor; using this Green's function scheme, the Poisson component of the iteration procedure is reduced to a few simple summations. ii) The 3D problem is mapped into an effective multi-orbital 1D problem with molecular orbitals calculated self-consistently as the transverse modes of an infinite wire with the same electrostatic potential as the local electrostatic potential of the finite 3D device. To demonstrate the capabilities of our approach, we calculate the response of the system to an external magnetic field, the dependence of the effective chemical potential on the work function difference, and the dependence of the effective semiconductor-superconductor coupling on the applied gate potential. We find that different low-energy bands are characterized by similar effective couplings, which results in induced gap features characterized by a single energy scale. We also find that electrostatic effects are responsible for a partial suppression of the Majorana energy splitting oscillations. Finally, we show that a position-dependent work function difference can produce a non-homogeneous effective potential that is not affected by the screening due to the superconductor and is only partially suppressed by the charge inside the wire. In turn, this potential can induce trivial low-energy states that mimic the phenomenology of Majorana zero modes. Thus, any position-dependent work function difference (even at the 1% level) along the nanowire must be avoided through carefully engineered semiconductor-superconductor interfaces.

description: Most of the sky has been imaged with NOAO's telescopes from both hemispheres. While the large majority of these data were obtained for PI-led projects and almost all of the images are publicly available, only a small fraction have been released to the community via well-calibrated and easily accessible catalogs. We are remedying this by creating a catalog of sources from most of the public data taken on the CTIO-4m+DECam and the KPNO-4m+Mosaic3. This catalog, called the NOAO Source Catalog (NSC), contains over 2.9 billion unique objects, 34 billion individual source measurements, covers ~30,000 square degrees of the sky, has depths of ~23rd magnitude in most broadband filters with ~1-2% photometric precision, and astrometric accuracy of ~7 mas. In addition, ~2 billion objects and ~21,000 square degrees of sky have photometry in three or more bands. The NSC will be useful for exploring stellar streams, dwarf satellite galaxies, QSOs, high-proper motion stars, variable stars and other transients. The NSC catalog is publicly available via the NOAO Data Lab service.

Some Integrated Properties of Galactic Globular Clusters

description: The luminosities of globular clusters are found to correlate with their half-light radii. The most luminous clusters have half-light radii r ~ 3 pc. Mean cluster luminosities are < Mv > = -6.64 +/- 0.26 for r < 2.0, < Mv > = -7.44 +/- 0.20 for 2.0 < r < 4.0 pc, and < Mv > = -6.57 +/- 0.21 for clusters with r > 4.0 pc. An even fainter value < Mv > = -5.85 +/- 0.36 is found for large clusters with r > 8.0 pc. These results possibly weaken confidence in the conclusion that the peak of the globular cluster luminosity distribution is a universal standard candle. In the outer Galactic halo globular clusters with red horizontal branches are fainter by about a factor of ten than are clusters with blue and intermediate color horizontal branches. Among clusters with Galactocentric distances > 10 kpc there appears to be a clear dichotomy between normal clusters (which all have [Fe/H] < -1.2) and the anomalous relatively metal-rich clusters Pal 1, Pal 12 and Ter 7, which are both unusually faint (Mv > -5) and relatively metal-rich ([Fe/H] > - 1.0). This suggests that these relatively metal-rich halo clusters may have had an unusual evolutionary history.

description: We study the discovery and discriminating prospects of the Higgs portal dark matter (DM) models for scalar, fermion and vector DM and their extensions in proton-proton ($pp$) collisions. The $t\bar{t}+$DM associated production in dileptonic final states is considered, in which the stransverse mass of two leptons is found to be effective in suppressing the Standard Model backgrounds along with the missing transverse energy and the angle between two leptons. The distributions of missing transverse energy and polar angle between two leptons are used for a discrimination of the spin nature of DM. For the proposed benchmark points, the discovery/exclusion can be made with an integrated luminosity less than 1 ab$^{-1}$ given a 1\% systematic uncertainty, while the spin discrimination require integrated luminosity of a few O(10) ab$^{-1}$ given a 0.5\% systematic uncertainty. The DM phenomenology is also discussed. A consistent DM candidate can be obtained either by extending our model where the Higgs portal couples to excited dark states that decay into DM, or modifying the coupling form into pseudoscalar.

description: The dependence of the rescaled equilibration time on different parameters of the field theories with a holographic dual has been investigated in this paper. We consider field theories with nonzero chemical potential at finite temperature which are dual to asymptotically AdS charged black holes. We examine a dynamical probe scalar operator where its dynamics is due to a time-dependent source, quantum quench, or out-of-equilibrium initial condition in field theory with fixed or varying temperature and chemical potential. We observe that the behavior of the scalar operator equilibration time with respect to temperature or chemical potential can not be predicted merely by field theory parameters and depends on how fast the energy is injected into the system. It is shown that in field theories with critical point the rescaled equilibration time is shorter for thermodynamically stable systems. We also observe that the rescaled equilibration time as one approaches the critical point enhances and acquires an infinite slope though its value remains finite. We show that for fast quenches, even though the system is far from equilibrium, the dynamical critical exponent is the same as the one reported for quasi-normal modes in the same background. However for slow quenches the dynamical critical exponent picks up a different value.

description: Several computer vision algorithms rely on detecting a compact but representative set of interest regions and their associated descriptors from input data. When the input is in the form of an unorganized 3D point cloud, current practice is to compute shape descriptors either exhaustively or at randomly chosen locations using one or more preset neighborhood sizes. Such a strategy ignores the relative variation in the spatial extent of geometric structures and also risks introducing redundancy in the representation. This paper pursues multi-scale operators on point clouds that allow detection of interest regions whose locations as well as spatial extent are completely data-driven. The approach distinguishes itself from related work by operating directly in the input 3D space without assuming an available polygon mesh or resorting to an intermediate global 2D parameterization. Results are shown to demonstrate the utility and robustness of the proposed method.

description: We present a new measurement of the energy dependence of nuclear transparency from AGS experiment E850, performed using the EVA solenoidal spectrometer, upgraded since 1995. Using a secondary beam from the AGS accelerator, we simultaneously measured $pp$ elastic scattering from hydrogen and $(p,2p)$ quasi-elastic scattering in carbon at incoming momenta of 5.9, 8.0, 9.0, 11.7 and 14.4 GeV/c. This incident momentum range corresponds to a $Q^{2}$ region between 4.8 and 12.7 (GeV/c)$^{2}$. The detector allowed us to do a complete kinematic analysis for the center-of-mass polar angles in the range $85^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$. We report on the measured variation of the nuclear transparency with energy and compare the new results with previous measurements.

description: Solid-state electronic spins are extensively studied in quantum information science, as their large magnetic moments offer fast operations for computing and communication, and high sensitivity for sensing. However, electronic spins are more sensitive to magnetic noise, but engineering of their spectroscopic properties, e.g. using clock transitions and isotopic engineering, can yield remarkable spin coherence times, as for electronic spins in GaAs, donors in silicon and vacancy centres in diamond. Here we demonstrate simultaneously induced clock transitions for both microwave and optical domains in an isotopically purified $^{171}$Yb$^{3+}$:Y$_2$SiO$_5$ crystal, reaching coherence times of above 100 $μ$s and 1 ms in the optical and microwave domain, respectively. This effect is due to the highly anisotropic hyperfine interaction, which makes each electronic-nuclear state an entangled Bell state. Our results underline the potential of $^{171}$Yb$^{3+}$:Y$_2$SiO$_5$ for quantum processing applications relying on both optical and spin manipulation, such as optical quantum memories, microwave-tooptical quantum transducers, and single spin detection, while they should also be observable in a range of different materials with anisotropic hyperfine interaction.

description: We describe an approach to the classification of 3-D objects using a multi-scale representation. This approach starts with a smoothing algorithm for representing objects at different scales. Smoothing is applied in curvature space directly, thus avoiding the usual shrinkage problems and allowing for efficient implementations. A 3-D similarity measure that integrates the representations of the objects at multiple scales is introduced. Given a library of models, objects that are similar based on this multi-scale measure are grouped together into classes. The objects that are in the same class are combined into a single prototype object. Finally, the prototypes are used for hierarchical recognition by first comparing the scene representation to the prototypes and then matching it only to the objects in the most likely class rather than to the entire library of models. Beyond its application to object recognition, this approach provides an attractive implementation of the intuitive notions of scale and approximate similarity for 3-D shapes.

description: We describe an approach to the classification of 3-D objects using a multi-scale representation. This approach starts with a smoothing algorithm for representing objects at different scales. In a way similar to the classical scale space representations, larger amount of smoothing removes more details from the surfaces. Smoothing is applied in curvature space directly, thus avoiding the usual shrinkage problems and allowing for efficient implementations. A 3-D similarity measure that integrates the representations of the objects at multiple scales is introduced. This similarity measure is designed to give higher weight to the coarse scale representations, while ignoring the finer scale details of the surfaces. Given a library of models, objects that are similar based on this multi-scale measure are grouped together into classes. We show how shapes in a given class can be combined into a single prototype object. This is achieved by using a powerful property, introduced earlier, of inverse mapping from representation to shape. Finally, the prototypes are used for hierarchical recognition by first comparing the scene representation to the prototypes and then matching it only to the objects in the most likely class rather than to the entire library of models. Beyond its application to object recognition, this approach provides an attractive implementation of the intuitive notions of scale and approximate similarity for 3-D shapes.

description: We present the results of a 22 cm radio survey carried out with the A3558 complex, a chain formed by the merging ACO clusters A3556-A3558-A3562 and thetwo groups SC1327-312 and SC1323-313, located in the central region of the complex, a chain formed by the merging ACO clusters A3556-A3558-A3562 and the two groups SC1327-312 and SC1323-313, located in the central region of the Shapley Concentration. The purpose of our survey is to study the effects of cluster mergers on the statistical properties of radio galaxies and to investigate the connection between mergers and the presence of radio halos and relic sources. We found that the radio source counts in the A3558 complex are consistent with the background source counts. Furthermore, we found that no correlation exists between the local density and the radio source power, and that steep spectrum radio galaxies are not segregated in denser optical regions. The radio luminosity function for elliptical and S0 galaxies is significantly lower than that for cluster type galaxies and for those not selected to be in clusters at radio powers logP(1.4) > 22.5, implying that the probability of a galaxy becoming a radio source above this power limit is lower in the Shapley Concentration compared with any other environment. The detection of a head-tail source in the centre of A3562, coupled with careful inspection of the 20 cm NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) and of 36 cm MOST observations, allowed us to spot two extended sources in the region between A3562 and SC1329-313, i.e. a candidate radio halo at the centre of A3562, and low brightness extended emission around a 14.96 magnitude Shapley galaxy.
