description: If a chain is initially at rest in a beaker at a height h1 above the ground, and the end of the chain is pulled over the rim of the beaker and down towards the ground and then released, the chain will spontaneously "flow" out of the beaker under gravity. Furthermore, the beads do not simply drag over the edge of the beaker but form a fountain reaching a height h2 above it. We show that the formation of a fountain requires that the beads come into motion not only by being pulled upwards by the part of the chain immediately above the pile, but also by being pushed upwards by an anomalous reaction force from the pile of stationary chain. We propose possible origins for this force, argue that its magnitude will be proportional to the square of the chain velocity, and predict and verify experimentally that h2 is proportional to h1.

Parental-Reported Attitudes toward Children’s School Performances, Children-Perceived Parental Attitudes, and Academic Achievements：Evidence from China

description: Parental-child interactions are highly relevant for child development. However, there exists little evidence for a causal relationship between the two, and researchers do not usually separate different forms of interactions when studying the effectiveness. This paper is an attempt to establish causality while focusing on a specific form. It uses survey panel data from China to study how parental-reported attitudes toward school performances affect educational outcomes. An essential feature of this paper is that the reduced form analysis controls for child-perceived parental attitudes, previous educational outcomes, and schools’ characteristics, all of which are confounders that most previous researchers have left out in their studies. The result shows that a unit increase in the constructed parental-reported attitude variable, i.e. parents are more concerned about school performances, leads to a 0.0531-point increase and a 0.0111-point increase in children’s total subject score and cognitive test score. Additionally, the paper uses instruments to address concerns about measurement errors and omitted variable bias. The result is again statistically significant and confirms the conventional wisdom that “tiger parents” produce children with higher academic achievement. Interestingly, while children’s perceptions are significant and sometimes have a stronger correlation with educational outcomes than parental-reported attitudes do, perceptions do not matter once endogeneity is accounted for.

description: Chronic postpartum uterine infection detrimentally affects subsequent fertility. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) are used to alleviate pain and treat inflammatory conditions in transition dairy cows with varying success. To screen the efficacy of NSAID in the absence of animal experiments, we have established an in vitro model to study uterine inflammation. Inflammation was induced in cultured bovine endometrial epithelial cells by challenging cells with an inflammation cocktail: lipopolysaccharide and proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1β (IL1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα). Release of the inflammation markers, serum amyloid A (SAA) and α-1-acid glycoprotein (αAGP), was measured by ELISA. Concentration of these markers was used to indicate the effectiveness in dampening inflammation of 5 NSAID: meloxicam, flunixin meglumine, aspirin, ketoprofen, and tolfenamic acid. Three NSAID, meloxicam, flunixin meglumine, and tolfenamic acid, were successful at dampening the release of SAA and αAGP into cell-culture supernatant, and the corresponding treated cells were selected for down-stream mRNA expression analysis. Expression of 192 genes involved in regulation of inflammatory pathways were investigated using Nanostring. Of the genes investigated, 81 were above the mRNA expression-analysis threshold criteria and were included in expression analysis. All SAA genes investigated (SAA2, SAA3, M-SAA3.2) were upregulated in response to the inflammation cocktail, relative to mRNA expression in control cells; however, AGP mRNA expression was below the expression analysis threshold and was, therefore, excluded from analysis. Treatment with NSAID downregulated genes involved in regulating chemokine signaling (e.g., CXCL2, CXCR4, CXCL5, and CXCL16) and genes that regulate the eicosanoid pathway (e.g., LTA4H, PTGS2, PLA2G4A, and PTGDS). Of the 5 NSAID investigated, meloxicam, flunixin meglumine, and tolfenamic acid are recommended for further investigation into treatment of postpartum uterine inflammation. The results from this study confirm the immunomodulatory properties of the endometrial epithelium in response to inflammatory stimuli and suggest that NSAID may be beneficial in alleviating uterine inflammation.

description: We present mathematical models based on persistent homology for analyzing force distributions in particulate systems. We define three distinct chain complexes: digital, position, and interaction, motivated by different capabilities of collecting experimental or numerical data, e.g. digital images, location of the particles, and normal forces between particles, respectively. We describe how algebraic topology, in particular, homology allows one to obtain algebraic representations of the geometry captured by these complexes. To each complexes we define an associated force network from which persistent homology is computed. Using numerical data obtained from molecular dynamics simulations of a system of particles being slowly compressed we demonstrate how persistent homology can be used to compare the geometries of the force distributions in different granular systems. We also discuss the properties of force networks as a function of the underlying complexes, and hence, as a function of the type of experimental or numerical data provided.
title: An analysis of the duration of non-local muscle fatigue effects
Creators: name: Zahiri, Ali
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2023

description: Introduction Non-local muscle fatigue (NLMF) refers to a transient decline in the functioning of a non-exercised muscle following the fatigue of a different muscle group. Most studies examining NLMF conducted post-tests immediately after the fatiguing protocols, leaving the duration of these effects uncertain. Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the duration of NLMF effects by examining post-test durations of 1-, 3-, and 5-minutes as well as a Control condition, Methods In this randomized crossover study, 17 recreationally trained participants (four females) were recruited. The study aimed to investigate the acute effects of unilateral knee extensor (KE) muscle fatigue on the contralateral homologous muscle strength, activation, and fatigue resistance (endurance). The participants underwent four sessions, with a minimum 48- hour interval between visits. Each session included testing at one-, three-, or five-minutes posttest, or for a Control condition. Measurements included non-dominant KE muscle force, endurance, and electromyography (EMG) from the vastus lateralis and biceps femoris muscles. The fatigue protocol involved two sets of continuous 100-seconds maximal voluntary isometric contractions (MVIC) performed by the dominant KE, separated by 1-minute of rest. Results Non-dominant KE MVIC forces showed reductions of 15.81% (p<0.0001, d=0.72) at 1-min and 8.54% (p=0.005, d=0.30) at 3-min post-test. The KE MVIC instantaneous strength revealed a significant reduction between 1-min (p=0.021, d=1.33), and 3-min (p=0.041, d=1.13) compared with the control. In addition, EMG revealed large magnitude increases with the 1-minute versus control condition (p=0.03, d=1.10). Conclusions Recovery duration (recovery time was 5-min) plays a crucial role in the manifestation of NLMF. Moreover, the influence of factors such as familiarity with high intensity resistance training loads and the specific muscle group targeted during fatigue protocols were also highlighted.

description: We present firstly the master equation of an electromagnetic perturbation with Weyl correction in the four-dimensional black hole spacetime, which depends not only on the Weyl correction parameter, but also on the parity of the electromagnetic field. It is quite different from that of the usual electromagnetic perturbation without Weyl correction in the four-dimensional spacetime. And then we have investigated numerically the dynamical evolution of the electromagnetic perturbation with Weyl correction in the background of a four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole spacetime. Our results show that the Weyl correction parameter $α$ and the parities imprint in the wave dynamics of the electromagnetic perturbation. For the odd parity electromagnetic perturbation, we find it grows with exponential rate if the value of $α$ is below the negative critical value $α_c$. However, for the electromagnetic perturbation with even parity, we find that there does not exist such a critical threshold value and the electromagnetic field always decays in the allowed range of $α$.

description: We present the results of NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of the two ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) NGC 1313 X-1 and X-2. The combined spectral bandpass of the two satellites enables us to produce the first spectrum of X-1 between 0.3 and 30 keV, while X-2 is not significantly detected by NuSTAR above 10 keV. The NuSTAR data demonstrate that X-1 has a clear cutoff above 10 keV, whose presence was only marginally detectable with previous X-ray observations. This cutoff rules out the interpretation of X-1 as a black hole in a standard low/hard state, and it is deeper than predicted for the downturn of a broadened iron line in a reflection-dominated regime. The cutoff differs from the prediction of a single-temperature Comptonization model. Further, a cold disk-like black body component at ~0.3 keV is required by the data, confirming previous measurements by XMM-Newton only. We observe a spectral transition in X-2, from a state with high luminosity and strong variability to a lower-luminosity state with no detectable variability, and we link this behavior to a transition from a super-Eddington to a sub-Eddington regime.

description: Printed and flexible electronics promises smart devices for application domains, such as smart fast moving consumer goods and medical wearables, which are generally untouchable by conventional rigid silicon technologies. This is due to their remarkable properties such as flexibility, non-toxic materials, and having low-cost per area. Combined with neuromorphic computing, printed neuromorphic circuits pose an attractive solution for these application domains. Particularly, the additive printing technologies can reduce large amount of fabrication complexities and costs. On the one hand, high-throughput additive printing processes, such as roll-to-roll printing, can reduce the per-device fabrication time and cost. On the other hand, jet-printing can provide point-of-use customization at the expense of lower fabrication throughput. In this work, we propose a machine learning based design framework, that respects the objective and physical constraints of split additive manufacturing for printed neuromorphic circuits. With the proposed framework, multiple printed neural networks are trained jointly with the aim to sensibly combine multiple fabrication techniques (e.g., roll-to-roll and jet-printing). This should lead to a cost-effective fabrication of multiple different printed neuromorphic circuits and achieve high fabrication throughput, lower cost, and point-of-use customization.
DEIMOS Throughput Upgrade

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: DEIMOS is Keck II’s workhorse optical spectrograph.  It acts as an imager, a longslit spectrograph, and a multislit spectrograph.  Its field of view (approximately 5' × 16') and multiplexing factor (up to about 200 slitlets) are the largest of Keck's instruments.  However, the CCDs that comprise the science focal plane of DEIMOS are over two decades old.  They no longer deliver state-of-the-art quantum efficiency (QE).  Their QE is 60% at 420 nm and 920 nm, and it peaks at 87% at 780 nm.  In 2025A, our team will replace the detectors with modern CCDs that will boost the throughput of DEIMOS by 70% at 400 nm, 10% at 700 nm, and 110% at 1000 nm.  Replacing the cryostat also affords us the opportunity to modernize portions of DEIMOS's Flexure Compensation System.  Most notably, the present focal plane moves within the cryostat for focus and flexure compensation.  This upgrade will enclose the entire cryostat in a hexapod so that there will no longer be any cryogenic moving parts.  This upgrade is a collaboration between the University of Notre Dame, Caltech Optical Observatories, Keck Observatory, and University of California Observatories.  It is funded by the California Association for Research in Astronomy.

description: The Hamilton-Jacobi equation for test particles in the Kerr geometry is separable. Using action-angle variables, we establish several relations between various physical quantities that characterize bound timelike geodesic orbits around a spinning black hole, including the particle's rest mass, energy, angular momentum, mean redshift and fundamental frequencies. These relations are explicitly checked to hold true in the particular case of equatorial circular orbits. An application to the gravitational wave-driven, adiabatic inspiral of extreme-mass-ratio compact binaries is briefly discussed.

description: CWISE J124909.08+362116.0 is a hypervelocity ultracool subdwarf discovered in the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) images by citizen scientists in the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 program. At the estimated galactocentric velocity of 460±30 km/s and stellar mass of ~0.08 M☉, CWISE J1249+3621 is the lowest-mass hypervelocity star known. The origin of this object and its unusual kinematics remain uncertain. Using a follow-up observation of CWISE J1249+3621 with the Near-Infrared Echellette Spectrometer (NIRES) on the Keck II telescope and a grid of custom model atmospheres, we carried out a detailed chemical characterization of this object. In particular, we assessed the likelihood of CWISE J1249+3621 being an ejected member of a globular cluster. Large densities of stars in globular clusters provide suitable conditions for high-velocity scattering of low-mass members in three-body interactions. If the origin of CWISE J1249+3621 indeed lies in one of Milky Way globular clusters, this object may represent a large undiscovered population of chemically peculiar subdwarfs in the solar neighborhood. We also assess the possibility of CWISE J1249+3621 being a surviving companion to a Type 1a supernova.

description: Observed declines in the distribution and abundance of various insect species have moved the topic of biodiversity and the protection of honey bees, an insect species of particular economic interest, into the focus of public attention. This also resulted in an increasing public pressure to reform the European agricultural policy and as part of this to minimise the amount of synthetic plant protection products used. In this context, so-called ‘precision farming’ offers a considerable potential for a reduced application of plant protection products by using precision application techniques that allow to adjust applications to the actual scale of target distribution within a field. Is however currently not possible to exactly quantify the subsequent decrease of exposure of non-target organisms. Focusing on honey bees, the authors are therefore in a first step proposing a field study design to quantify the direct and indirect exposure of honey bees and their colonies in relation to the ratio of treated to untreated field area and the application pattern used. Furthermore, parameters of the bee risk assessment scheme are discussed that could be suitable to describe exposure reduction by precision application.

description: Using numerical simulations, we show that atomic high order harmonic generation, HHG, with a circularly polarized laser field offers an ideal framework for quantum-classical correspondence in strong field physics. With an appropriate initialization of the system, corresponding to a superposition of ground and excited state(s), simulated HHG spectra display a narrow strip of strong harmonic radiation preceded by a gap of missing harmonics in the lower part of the spectrum. In specific regions of the spectra, HHG tends to lock to circularly polarized harmonic emission. All these properties are shown to be closely related to a set of key classical periodic orbits that organize the recollision dynamics in an intense, circularly polarized field.
Generalized event-chain Monte Carlo: Constructing rejection-free global-balance algorithms from infinitesimal steps

description: In this article, we present an event-driven algorithm that generalizes the recent hard-sphere event-chain Monte Carlo method without introducing discretizations in time or in space. A factorization of the Metropolis filter and the concept of infinitesimal Monte Carlo moves are used to design a rejection-free Markov-chain Monte Carlo algorithm for particle systems with arbitrary pairwise interactions. The algorithm breaks detailed balance, but satisfies maximal global balance and performs better than the classic, local Metropolis algorithm in large systems. The new algorithm generates a continuum of samples of the stationary probability density. This allows us to compute the pressure and stress tensor as a byproduct of the simulation without any additional computations.

description: A thorough understanding of many astrophysical phenomena associated with compact objects requires reliable knowledge about both the equation of state (EOS)of super-dense nuclear matter and the theory of strong-field gravity simultaneously because of the EOS-gravity degeneracy. Currently, variations of the neutron star (NS) mass-radius correlation from using alternative gravity theories are much larger than those from changing the NS matter EOS within known constraints. At least two independent observables are required to break the EOS-gravity degeneracy. Using model EOSs for hybrid stars and a Yukawa-type non-Newtonian gravity, we investigate both the mass-radius correlation and pulsating frequencies of NSs. While the maximum mass of NSs increases, the frequencies of the $f$, $p_1$, $p_2$, and $w_I$ pulsating modes are found to decrease with the increasing strength of the Yukawa-type non-Newtonian gravity, providing a useful reference for future determination simultaneously of both the strong-field gravity and the supranuclear EOS by combining data of x-ray and gravitational wave emissions of neutron stars.

description: We study the three-dimensional theory of two Chern-Simons gauge fields coupled to a scalar field in the bifundamental representation of the $SU(N)_k \times SU(M)_{-k}$ gauge group. At small but fixed $M \ll N$, this system approaches the theory of a Chern-Simons field coupled to fundamental matter, conjectured to be dual to a parity-violating version of Vasiliev's higher-spin gauge theory in $AdS_4$. At finite $M/N$ and large 't Hooft coupling this theory (or its SUSY version) is expected to be dual to an Einstein-like gravity. We show at two loops that this theory possesses a line of fixed points at any value of $M/N$. We also prove that turning on a finite but small $M/N$ gaps out the light states that Chern-Simons theory coupled to fundamental matter develops when placed on a torus. We also comment on the higher genus case.

Particle Acceleration And Emission Processes In Mrk 421

Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the X-ray and $γ$-ray flares of Mrk 421 on 2008 June 6-15 using the synchrotron self- Compton(SSC) model with electron acceleration, in which an evident correlation between the X-ray and $γ$-ray bands appears, while no significant correlation between the optical and X-ray band is observed. We argue that the emission from Mrk 421 may originate from two different components. One is the steady component from the outer region that is mainly attributed to the optical band, in which the electrons are accelerated by first-order Fermi acceleration mechanism. We use a steady electron spectrum to produce the synchrotron self-Compton emission. The other is the variable component from the inner region, in which the electrons are accelerated by the stochastic acceleration process. We use the time-dependent SSC model to produce the emission from the variable component. We suggest that the flares are due to the hardening of the electron spectrum under the process of the stochastic acceleration, which leads to the hardening of the observed spectrum in the X-ray and $γ$-ray bands. Furthermore, we find that the energy densities of electrons and magnetic fields are near equipartition in both jet regions.

description: We complete the analysis of part I in this series (Ref. \cite{Stotyn:2013yka}) by numerically constructing boson stars in 2+1 dimensional Einstein gravity with negative cosmological constant, minimally coupled to a complex scalar field. These lower dimensional boson stars have strikingly different properties than their higher dimensional counterparts, most noticeably that there exists a finite central energy density, above which an extremal BTZ black hole forms. In this limit, all of the scalar field becomes enclosed by the horizon; it does not contract to a singularity, but rather the origin remains smooth and regular and the solution represents a spinning boson star trapped inside a degenerate horizon. Additionally, whereas in higher dimensions the mass, angular momentum, and angular velocity all display damped harmonic oscillations as functions of the central energy density, in $D=3$ these quantities change monotonically up to the bound on the central energy density. Some implications for the holographic dual of these objects are discussed and it is argued that the boson star and extremal BTZ black hole phases are dual to a spontaneous symmetry breaking at zero temperature but finite energy scale.

description: We study the time evolution of entanglement entropy and entanglement spectrum in a finite-size system which crosses a quantum phase transition at different speeds. We focus on the Ising model with a time-dependent magnetic field, which is linearly tuned on a time scale $τ$ . The time evolution of the entanglement entropy displays different regimes depending on the value of $τ$, showing also oscillations which depend on the instantaneous energy spectrum. The entanglement spectrum is characterized by a rich dynamics where multiple crossings take place with a gap-dependent frequency. Moreover, we investigate the Kibble-Zurek scaling of entanglement entropy and Schmidt gap.
