description: Octupole deformation results in a strongly enhanced collective Schiff moment in 229Th nucleus. An additional enhancement of time reversal (T) and parity (P) violating effects (such as T,P-violating electric dipole moments) appears in the ground 1Sigma state and in the metastable 3Delta_1 state of diatomic molecule 229ThO. Similar enhancements exist in molecular ions 229ThOH+, 229ThF+ and 225,223RaOH+. Corresponding experiments may be used to test CP-violation theories predicting T,P-violating nuclear forces and to search for axions.

description: Context:Withania (Solanaceae) species are known to be a rich source of withanolides, which have shown several biological properties. Objective: To identify the compounds responsible for Withania adpressa Coss. antioxidant activity and further test them for their NF-κB inhibition and antiproliferative activity in multiple myeloma cells. Materials and methods: Compounds were obtained from the EtOAc extract of W. adpressa leaves. Structure elucidation was carried out mainly by 1D- and 2D-NMR, and mass spectrometry. Isolated compounds were tested in a dose-response for their in vitro NF-κB inhibition and antiproliferative activity in multiple myeloma cells after 5 and 72 h treatment, respectively. Results: The fractionation resulted in the isolation of a new glycowithanolide named wadpressine (5) together with withanolide F, withaferin A, coagulin L, and nicotiflorin. The latter showed a moderate ability to scavenge free radicals in DPPH (IC50 = 35.3 µM) and NO (IC50 = 41.3 µM) assays. Withanolide F and withaferin A exhibited low µM antiproliferative activity against both multiple myeloma cancer stem cells and RPMI 8226 cells. Furthermore, they inhibited NF-κB activity with IC50 values of 1.2 and 0.047 µM, respectively. The other compounds showed a moderate inhibition of cell proliferation in RPMI 8226 cells, but were inactive against cancer stem cells and did not inhibit NF-κB activity. Discussion and conclusions: One new glycowithanolide and four known compounds were isolated. Biological evaluation data gave further insight on the antitumor potential of withanolides for refractory cancers.

description: This paper investigates a new formalism to describe real time evolution of quantum systems at finite temperature. A time correlation function among subsystems will be derived which allows for a probabilistic interpretation. Our derivation is non-perturbative and fully quantized. Various numerical methods used to compute the needed path integrals in complex time were tested and their effectiveness was compared. For checking the formalism we used the harmonic oscillator where the numerical results could be compared with exact solutions. Interesting results were also obtained for a system that presents tunneling. A ring of coupled oscillators was treated in order to try to check selfconsistency in the thermodynamic limit. The short time distribution seems to propagate causally in the relativistic case. Our formalism can be extended easily to field theories where it remains to be seen if relevant models will be computable.

description: The differential cross sections for $π^- p \to γn$ and $π^+ n \to γp$ are computed up to $O(p^3)$ in heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory (HBChPT). The expressions at $O(p)$ and $O(p^2)$ have no free parameters. There are three unknown parameters at $O(p^3)$, low energy constants of the HBChPT Lagrangian, which are determined by fitting to experimental data. Two acceptable fits are obtained, which can be separated by comparing with earlier dispersion relation calculations of the inverse process. Expressions for the multipoles, with emphasis on the p-wave multipoles, are obtained and evaluated at threshold. Generally the results obtained from the best of the two fits are in good agreement with the dispersion relation predictions.

description: The cellular network of magnetic Induction (MI) communication holds promise in long-distance underground environments. In the traditional MI communication, there is no fast-fading channel since the MI channel is treated as a quasi-static channel. However, for the vehicle (mobile) MI (VMI) communication, the unpredictable antenna vibration brings the remarkable fast-fading. As such fast-fading cannot be modeled by the central limit theorem, it differs radically from other wireless fast-fading channels. Unfortunately, few studies focus on this phenomenon. In this paper, using a novel space modeling based on the electromagnetic field theorem, we propose a 3-dimension model of the VMI antenna vibration. By proposing ``conjugate pseudo-piecewise functions'' and boundary $p(x)$ distribution, we derive the cumulative distribution function (CDF), probability density function (PDF) and the expectation of the VMI fast-fading channel. We also theoretically analyze the effects of the VMI fast-fading on the network throughput, including the VMI outage probability which can be ignored in the traditional MI channel study. We draw several intriguing conclusions different from those in wireless fast-fading studies. For instance, the fast-fading brings more uniformly distributed channel coefficients. Finally, we propose the power control algorithm using the non-cooperative game and multiagent Q-learning methods to optimize the throughput of the cellular VMI network. Simulations validate the derivation and the proposed algorithm.

description: It is known that realistic neutrino masses for neutrino oscillations may be obtained from R parity nonconserving supersymmetry. It is also known that such interactions would erase any preexisting lepton or baryon asymmetry of the Universe because of the inevitable intervention of the electroweak sphalerons. We now show how a crucial subset of these R parity nonconserving terms may in fact create its own successful leptogenesis.

Theatricality in Installation Artworks: An Overview

description: The article is an investigation into theatricality from various standpoints (among others those of Michael Fried, Claire Bishop, Juliane Rebentisch and Samuel Weber) in order to focus on different views on theatricality considered as partially emancipated from theatre and to verify if and to what extent each of them can apply to installation artworks as environments and intermedial devices. Ultimately the article propounds the idea of a paradoxical anti-theatrical theatricality of installation art, grasped in its very connection to site-specificity, critically engaging Martin Heidegger’s insights regarding the «Gestell» and the «work-being» of the work of art, as a general theoretical basis through which a particular focus of ‘specificity’ of installation is endorsed.

description: Implementing quantum algorithms is essential for quantum computation. We study the implementation of three quantum algorithms by performing homodyne measurements on a two-dimensional temporal continuous-variable cluster state. We first review the generation of temporal cluster states and the implementation of gates using the measurement-based model. Alongside this we discuss methods to introduce non-Gaussianity into the cluster states. The first algorithm we consider is Gaussian Boson Sampling in which only Gaussian unitaries need to be implemented. Taking into account the fact that input states are also Gaussian, the errors due to the effect of finite squeezing can be corrected, provided a moderate amount of online squeezing is available. This helps to construct a large Gaussian Boson Sampling machine. The second algorithm is the continuous-variable Instantaneous Quantum Polynomial circuit in which one needs to implement non-Gaussian gates, such as the cubic phase gate. We discuss several methods of implementing the cubic phase gate and fit them into the temporal cluster state architecture. The third algorithm is the continuous-variable version of Grover's search algorithm, the main challenge of which is the implementation of the inversion operator. We propose a method to implement the inversion operator by injecting a resource state into a teleportation circuit. The resource state is simulated using the Strawberry Fields quantum software package.

The Sublime in Lutoslawski’s Three Poems of Henri Michaux (1961-63)
Creators: name: Calleja, Marianela

description: The sublime in classical aesthetics arrived at a famous formulation with Kant (CPJ, Part I, Section 1, Book 2, §23–29) as a subjective quality more elevated than beauty, linked to commotion and respect followed by reaffirmation. However, a new interpretation of the Schopenhauerian sublime is necessary in its transforming appreciation of the importance of this feeling as a psychological state, which is not yet metaphysical as usually understood, when dealing with struggling situations without resolution (Vandenabeele [2015]: 128). Here the focus will be on a variety of the sonorous sublime in contemporary music, which finds resonances with Schopenhauer’s sublime: Witold Lutoslawski’s Three Poems of Henri Michaux (1961–63) for mixed chorus and orchestra focuses on unpredictability and form-contrariness, “picturing” surrealist texts of uncertainty in Pensées, violence in Le Grand Combat, and resignation in Repos dans Malheur (Michaux [1928], [1938]).

description: The observed two-point correlation functions of galaxies in redshift space become anisotropic due to the geometry of the universe as well as due to the presence of the peculiar velocity field. On the basis of linear perturbation theory, we expand the induced anisotropies of the correlation functions with respect to the redshift $z$, and obtain analytic formulae to infer the deceleration parameter $q_0$, the density parameter $Ω_0$ and the derivative of the bias parameter $d\ln b/dz$ at $z=0$ in terms of the observable statistical quantities. The present method does not require any assumption of the shape and amplitude of the underlying fluctuation spectrum, and thus can be applied to future redshift surveys of galaxies including the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We also evaluate quantitatively the systematic error in estimating the value of $β_0 \equiv Ω_0^{0.6}/b$ from a galaxy redshift survey on the basis of a conventional estimator for $β_0$ which neglects both the geometrical distortion effect and the time evolution of the parameter $β(z)$. If the magnitude limit of the survey is as faint as 18.5 (in B-band) as in the case of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the systematic error ranges between -20% and 10% depending on the cosmological parameters. Although such systematic errors are smaller than the statistical errors in the current surveys, they will dominate the expected statistical error for future surveys.

Culture and Affect in Aesthetic Experience of Pictorial Realism: An Eighteenth-Century Korean Literatus’ Reception of Western Religious Painting in Beijing
Creators: name: Hwang, Ju-Yeon
Publisher: name: Aisthesis. Pratiche, linguaggi e saperi dell’estetico
Year: 2019

description: Cultural factors are operating in the aesthetic experience of pictorial realism, occurring in a transcultural manner, and their effects are salient in beholder’s affective reaction correlated with perceptual-cognitive operation. This paper aims to demonstrate this hypothesis, by developing two analytical tools that might explain the anti-hedonic valence of Hong Taeyong, an eighteenth-century Korean literatus’ aesthetic experience of a Western religious fresco depicting the Lamentation of Christ in a Jesuit Catholic church in Beijing. First, a complex multifold conflict between «actual affect» and culturally modeled «ideal affect», operating simultaneously in his visual experience, might be translated into a highly negative valence of his global affective state. Second, the variance of processing fluencies at different levels would have made his global processing operation less fluid, and it might play a role in his negative affective valence, since the affect is inherent in processing fluency signal.

description: Intracluster stars are believed to be unbound from their progenitor galaxies and diffused throughout the galaxy cluster, creating intracluster light (ICL). However, when and how these stars form are still in debate. To directly constrain the origin, one powerful method is to study clusters at the epoch when mature galaxy clusters began to appear. We report measurements of the spatial distribution, color, and quantity of diffuse intracluster stars for a massive galaxy cluster at a redshift of 1.24. This is the most distant galaxy cluster to date for which those three properties of the ICL have been quantified simultaneously. Our detection of the significant ICL fraction in this unprecedentedly high redshift regime strongly indicates that intracluster stars, contrary to most previous studies, might have formed during a short period and early in the history of the Virgo-like massive cluster formation and might be concurrent with the formation of the brightest cluster galaxy.

Electric dipole moment of neutron in the Kobayashi-Maskawa model with four generations of quarks

description: We show that the existence of a possible fourth heavy generation of quarks gives rise to a significant enhancement to the neutron electric dipole moment in comparison with the Standard Model prediction. The smaller degree of suppression in this case is linked to the presence of the operators of dimension $\leq$ 6 which enter into the effective Lagrangian with coefficients proportional to the square of the top quark mass. Numerically, the enhancement is mainly associated with chromoelectric dipole moment of the s quark which appears at three loop level, of the order $\al_s\al_w^2m_sm_t^2/m^4_w$ from the CP-odd combination of mixing angles between second, third and fourth generations. Its value is calculated explicitly in the limit of large masses of the fourth generation of quarks. The corresponding contribution to the electric dipole moment of the neutron is $5\cdot10^{-30} e\cdot cm$ in the most optimistic scenarios about the values of the Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements. The additive renormalization of $θ$-term in this model is estimated as $10^{-13}$.

description: In vitro acetylholinesterase (AChE) inhibitory activity of an autochthonous sample of the mushroom Coprinus comatus (encompassing fruiting body FB, mycelia M and filtrate F from the submerged cultivation) was the subject of this study. C. comatus F extract exhibited rather potent anti-AChE activity (73.0 ± 1.5%) at in liquid conditions, comparable to those of the conventional drug donepezil (80.6 ± 1.4%). Also, the same extract exhibited high anti-AChE activity (1 µg) in solid. While its FTIR spectrum indicated the presence of phenolic compounds, quercetin (28.1 µg g−1 d.w.) was found to affect the observed bioactivity (59.8 ± 0.9%). This is the first report of profound anti-AChE activity of any C. comatus extract, a medicinal mushroom that has been successfully cultivated in P.R. China, due to the demanding needs of food industry.

description: As part of the QUADROS project to quantify the impact of AGN-driven outflows in rapidly evolving galaxies in the local universe, we present observations of 8 nearby ULIRGs ($0.04 < z < 0.2$) taken with the ISIS spectrograph on the \textit{William Herschel Telescope} (WHT), and also summarise the results of the project as a whole. Consistent with \cite{Rose2018}, we find that the outflow regions are compact (0.08 < $R_{[OIII]}$ < 1.5 kpc), and the electron densities measured using the [SII], [OII] trans-auroral emission-line ratios are relatively high (2.5 < log n$_{e}$(cm$^{-3}$) < 4.5, median log n$_{e}$(cm$^{-3})\sim 3.1$). Many of the outflow regions are also significantly reddened (median E(B-V) $\sim$ 0.5). Assuming that the de-projected outflow velocities are represented by the 5$\rm^{th}$ percentile velocities ($v_{05}$) of the broad, blueshifted components of [OIII]$λ$5007, we calculate relatively modest mass outflow rates ($0.1 < \dot{M} < 20$ M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$, median $\dot{M}$ $\sim$ 2 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$), and find kinetic powers as a fraction of the AGN bolometric luminosity ($\dot{F} = \dot{E}/L_{bol}$) in the range 0.02 < $\dot{F}$ < 3 \%, median $\dot{F}$ $\sim$ 0.3 \%). The latter estimates are in line with the predictions of multi-stage outflow models, or single-stage models in which only a modest fraction of the initial kinetic power of the inner disk winds is transferred to the larger-scale outflows. Considering the QUADROS sample as a whole, we find no clear evidence for correlations between the properties of the outflows and the bolometric luminosities of the AGN, albeit based on a sample that covers a relatively small range in $L_{bol}$. Overall, our results suggest that there is a significant intrinsic scatter in outflow properties of ULIRGs for a given AGN luminosity.

description: Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is closely linked with cardiovascular diseases. However, the underlying mechanism of PM2.5 on cardiac function remains unknown. This study was aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-205 (miR-205) on PM2.5-induced myocardial inflammation and cardiac dysfunction. PM2.5 increased the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and malondialdehyde (MDA), following by decreased cell viability and antioxidant enzymes, resulting in apoptosis of cardiomyocytes (AC16). The histopathological and ultrastructural analysis demonstrated that PM2.5 caused myocardial damage via interstitial edema, inflammatory cell infiltration, and myocardial fiber destruction. PM2.5 enhanced the release of inflammatory factors in AC16 cells and heart tissue. Microarray analysis and dual-luciferase reporter gene assays demonstrated that PM2.5-induced down-regulation of miR-205 regulated interleukin 1 receptor-associated kinase 2 (IRAK2), which further activated the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)/nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway in vivo. Moreover, the chemical mimics of miR-205 markedly inhibited the IRAK2/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathway, whereas the chemical inhibitors of miR-205 amplified PM2.5-induced activation of the IRAK2 signaling pathway in vitro. In summary, our results found that PM2.5 could trigger myocardial toxicity via miR-205 negative regulating the IRAK2/TRAF6/NF-κB signaling pathway. Our study suggests that miR-205 could be a promising target molecule for mitigating the hazardous effects of PM2.5 on the cardiovascular system.

description: A preference order or ranking aggregated from pairwise comparison data is commonly understood as a strict total order. However, in real-world scenarios, some items are intrinsically ambiguous in comparisons, which may very well be an inherent uncertainty of the data. In this case, the conventional total order ranking can not capture such uncertainty with mere global ranking or utility scores. In this paper, we are specifically interested in the recent surge in crowdsourcing applications to predict partial but more accurate (i.e., making less incorrect statements) orders rather than complete ones. To do so, we propose a novel framework to learn some probabilistic models of partial orders as a \emph{margin-based Maximum Likelihood Estimate} (MLE) method. We prove that the induced MLE is a joint convex optimization problem with respect to all the parameters, including the global ranking scores and margin parameter. Moreover, three kinds of generalized linear models are studied, including the basic uniform model, Bradley-Terry model, and Thurstone-Mosteller model, equipped with some theoretical analysis on FDR and Power control for the proposed methods. The validity of these models are supported by experiments with both simulated and real-world datasets, which shows that the proposed models exhibit improvements compared with traditional state-of-the-art algorithms.

description: Covariant (Lorentz invariant) fracton matter, minimally coupled and charged under a symmetric rank two gauge tensor, is considered. The gauge transformations correspond to linearized longitudinal diffeomorphisms. Consistent possible anomalies are computed using the BRST cohomology method. They depend only on the gauge field, treated as a background field, and on the gauge parameter, promoted to an anticommuting scalar ghost field. The problem is phrased in terms of polyforms, whose total degree is the sum of the form degree and of the ghost number. The most general anomaly in two dimensions and in four dimensions is computed and an anomaly in arbitrary dimensions is individuated. In conclusion, it is shown that a simple higher-derivative scalar field theory is an example of covariant fracton matter.

While the state vectors of J/psi and O are constructed from the wave functions of few-body Schroedinger equations, the mixing dynamics is governed by perturbative QCD. We obtain a value of the mixing angle of |\tan θ_{Oψ}| \approx 0.015 and the mixing amplitude of |f_{Oψ}(m_{Oψ}^2)| \approx 0.008 GeV^2, which is compatible with phenomenological analysis.

description: The living organism is considered as an open system, whereas Prigogine's approach to the thermodynamics of such systems is used. The approach allows one to formulate the law of individual growth and development (ontogenesis) of the living organism, whereas it has taken into account that the development and functioning of the system are occurring under the special internal program. The thermodynamic equation of growth is followed a method of estimation of the specific entropy of organism. The theory is compared with experimental data, whereas estimates of the specific entropy of some species were done; it shows a reduction of specific entropy in the evolutionary row: yeast - insects - reptiles - birds.

description: Five new coordination complexes [MnII (L1)2(4,4′-bpy)]n (1), [NiII (L1)2(4,4′-bpy)]n (2), [ZnII (L1)2(4,4′-bpy)]n (3), [CuII (L1)2(phen)2]Cl2 (4) and [CuII 2(L1)2(2,2′-bpy)2]Cl2 (5) (HL1 = 3,4,5-trifluorobenzeneseleninic acid, 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine, 2,2′-bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Complexes 1–3 display similar layers structures. In 1–3, the adjacent layers are further connected through π···π interactions to form three-dimensional supramolecular structures. Complexes 4 and 5 show a dimer containing an eight-membered ring. The dimer extends into three-dimensional supramolecular structures through π···π interactions, C–H···F and C–H···Cl interactions.
A Radiative Transfer Framework for Spatially-Correlated Materials

description: We introduce a non-exponential radiative framework that takes into account the local spatial correlation of scattering particles in a medium. Most previous works in graphics have ignored this, assuming uncorrelated media with a uniform, random local distribution of particles. However, positive and negative correlation lead to slower- and faster-than-exponential attenuation respectively, which cannot be predicted by the Beer-Lambert law. As our results show, this has a major effect on extinction, and thus appearance. From recent advances in neutron transport, we first introduce our Extended Generalized Boltzmann Equation, and develop a general framework for light transport in correlated media. We lift the limitations of the original formulation, including an analysis of the boundary conditions, and present a model suitable for computer graphics, based on optical properties of the media and statistical distributions of scatterers. In addition, we present an analytic expression for transmittance in the case of positive correlation, and show how to incorporate it efficiently into a Monte Carlo renderer. We show results with a wide range of both positive and negative correlation, and demonstrate the differences compared to classic light transport.

On the QED Effective Action in Time Dependent Electric Backgrounds
Creators: name: Dunne, Gerald
name: Hall, Theodore
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We apply the resolvent technique to the computation of the QED effective action in time dependent electric field backgrounds. The effective action has both real and imaginary parts, and the imaginary part is related to the pair production probability in such a background. The resolvent technique has been applied previously to spatially inhomogeneous magnetic backgrounds, for which the effective action is real. We explain how dispersion relations connect these two cases, the magnetic case which is essentially perturbative in nature, and the electric case where the imaginary part is nonperturbative. Finally, we use a uniform semiclassical approximation to find an expression for very general time dependence for the background field. This expression is remarkably similar in form to Schwinger's classic result for the constant electric background.

description: Background: Postural instability is a condition affecting many people during normal ageing or those suffering from neurological or orthopaedic diseases. Posturography has become an important tool to assess balance. Standards of performing posturography, however, are not sufficiently elaborated. Purpose: To investigate the influence of different foot positions, specifically a self-selected foot position, on maximal sway amplitudes during static and dynamic (limits of stability) standing balance tasks. Materials and methods: In this cohort study with repeated measurements 24 healthy young adults completed five conditions: a condition with self-selected foot position and four conditions with set feet distances (feet together, 10 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm). Maximal sway amplitudes of the centre of pressure recordings were analyzed in antero-posterior and medio-lateral axes. Results: Analysis of the self-selected position showed a mean foot distance of 20.3 (4.6) cm, which significantly positively correlated with the participants’ body height and sex. Repeated measurement ANOVAs revealed a significant effect of foot position on the sway parameter in both directions, which was more pronounced in the medio-lateral axis. Pairwise comparisons in this axis showed two homogeneous subgroups. One composed the ‘feet together’ and ‘10 cm’ conditions, and the other the remaining three conditions. The self-selected position did not lead to the lowest sway values in static trials nor to the largest values in dynamic trials. Conclusions: Taking these results into account we recommend using a self-selected foot position when performing posturography. The sway parameters are not different to predefined stable foot positions. Furthermore, the self-selected position reflects a more natural and individually optimized stance and also takes body geometry into account.
Famiglie, bambini e insegnanti: verso un’idea integrata di educazione, di benessere e di sviluppo tra contesti
Creators: name: Zaninelli, Francesca Linda

description: The paper presents a brief overview of the curricula of four European Countries which have long adopted an integrated model of education, having as a focus of deepening the topic of the relationship between educational services and families, between educators/teachers and parents. The holistic and integrated approach of education, well-being and child development expressed in these documents is the background and supports a complex and inclusive discursiveness towards the plurality of family histories and configurations, giving form to original and quality modes of cooperation, understanding and collaboration for educational contexts. The focus on some concepts and the lexical choices supporting them is considered useful to “project” us into a next integrated national curriculum, capable of expressing both a culture of continuity and change, and a real interdependence between contexts and subjects, which are relevant for child development.

Gravitino Dark Matter without R-parity

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: Cosmological issues are examined when gravitino is the lightest superparticle (LSP) and R-parity is broken. Decays of the next lightest superparticles occur rapidly via R-parity violating interaction, and thus they do not upset the big-bang nucleosynthesis, unlike the R-parity conserving case. The gravitino LSP becomes unstable, but its lifetime is typically much longer than the age of the Universe. It turns out that observations of diffuse photon background coming from radiative decays of the gravitino do not severely constrain the gravitino abundance, and thus the gravitino weighing less than around 1 GeV can be dark matter of the Universe when bilinear R-parity violation generates a neutrino mass which accounts for the atmospheric neutrino anomaly.
