description: The recent productivity improvement in multi dwelling construction processes has opened for substituting on site construction with industrial processes. Increased prefabrication of components and systems have resulted in the development of industrial construction timber enterprises (house component and other woodworking industry enterprises) but also sawmills and their upgrading activities (pre cutting, planing and other upgrading) to gradually adopt new intra firm value creation activities including planning and assembling services. The prior major business model, processes cost minimizing for standard timber products, has been transferred towards client oriented tailor made solutions and services. The major contractors and other construction system integrators have been reluctant to introduce the upflow enterprises in value chains and to participate in the development of new industrialization with improved component and product offerings for multi dwelling house construction. This paper discusses the value creation positioning and coverage in the business model formation among the timber element production industry enterprises. The business models are based on the vision formation and implementation strategy with using, maintaining or selling construction enterprises as clients integrating multi dwelling house construction processes. Research task here is to extend a business model taxonomy for the three major industrial product offering types for timber construction products (components, elements and modules) by including further client types and market conditions in the multi dwelling construction Multi dwelling construction constitute annual house construction majority in both countries with aggregate volumes of the same magnitude. The core task is to discuss the future options to develop the business models that fit with the objectives of the major construction producers and real estate developers.

description: We developed a modified version of a conventional (BB84) quantum key distribution protocol that can be understood and implemented by students at a pre-university level. We intentionally introduce a subtle but critical simplification to the original protocol, allowing the experiment to be assembled at the skill level appropriate for the students, at the cost of creating a security loophole. The security vulnerability is then exploited by student hackers, allowing the participants to think deeper about the underlying physics that makes the protocol secure in its original form.

description: Using the technique of amalgamation-detachment, we show that the complete equipartite multigraph $λK_{n\times m}$ can be decomposed into cycles of lengths $c_1m,\dots,c_km$ (plus a 1-factor if the degree is odd) whenever there exists a decomposition of $λm K_n$ into cycles of lengths $c_1, \dots,c_k$ (plus a 1-factor if the degree is odd). In addition, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of some other, related cycle decompositions of the complete equipartite multigraph $λK_{n\times m}$.

Sources of carbon and the evolution of the abundance of CNO elements

description: Using the standard infall model of Galactic chemical evolution, we explore the origin of carbon and calculate the abundance evolution of CNO elements for 8 different models of stellar nucleosynthesis yields. The results show that, in the early stage of the Galaxy, massive stars are the main producer of carbon, and that as our Galaxy evolves to the late stage, the longer lived intermediate- and low-mass stars play an increasingly important role, while at the same time, metal-rich Wolf-Rayet stars eject a significant amount of carbon into the ISM by radiative-driven stellar winds. However, from the present published nucleosynthesis yields we cannot distinguish whether the main source of carbon in the late Galactic stage is just the massive stars ($M>8M_{\odot}$) alone, or just the intermediate-, low-mass stars and $M\leq 40M_{\odot}$ massive stars that do not go through the Wolf-Rayet stage. The $^{12}$C$(α,γ)^{16}$O reaction rate is very important in the stellar nucleosynthesis calculations: a lower rate will give a higher yield of carbon. The contribution to nitrogen is dominated by intermediate- and low-mass stars, and the secondary source of massive stars cannot explain the observed [N/Fe] in metal-poor stars. Most of oxygen is produced by massive stars. The fact that a higher O abundance in metal-poor stars is derived from the \ion{O}{i} 7771$-$7775 Åtriplet than from the forbidden [\ion{O}{i}] line at 6300 Åposes a problem.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Factorization, the light-cone distribution amplitude of the B-meson and the radiative decay B -> gamma l nu_l

description: We study the radiative decay B -> gamma l nu_l in the framework of QCD factorization. We demonstrate explicitly that, in the heavy-quark limit and at one-loop order in perturbation theory, the amplitude does factorize, i.e. that it can be written as a convolution of a perturbatively calculable hard-scattering amplitude with the (non-perturbative) light-cone distribution amplitude of the B-meson. We evaluate the hard-scattering amplitude at one-loop order and verify that the large logarithms are those expected from a study of the b->u transition in the Soft-Collinear Effective Theory. Assuming that this is also the case at higher orders, we resum the large logarithms and perform an exploratory phenomenological analysis. The questions addressed in this study are also relevant for the applications of the QCD factorization formalism to two-body non-leptonic B-decays, in particular to the component of the amplitude arising from hard spectator interactions.

description: Does progress in simulation translate to progress on robots? If one method outperforms another in simulation, how likely is that trend to hold in reality on a robot? We examine this question for embodied PointGoal navigation, developing engineering tools and a research paradigm for evaluating a simulator by its sim2real predictivity. First, we develop Habitat-PyRobot Bridge (HaPy), a library for seamless execution of identical code on simulated agents and robots, transferring simulation-trained agents to a LoCoBot platform with a one-line code change. Second, we investigate the sim2real predictivity of Habitat-Sim for PointGoal navigation. We 3D-scan a physical lab space to create a virtualized replica, and run parallel tests of 9 different models in reality and simulation. We present a new metric called Sim-vs-Real Correlation Coefficient (SRCC) to quantify predictivity. We find that SRCC for Habitat as used for the CVPR19 challenge is low (0.18 for the success metric), suggesting that performance differences in this simulator-based challenge do not persist after physical deployment. This gap is largely due to AI agents learning to exploit simulator imperfections, abusing collision dynamics to 'slide' along walls, leading to shortcuts through otherwise non-navigable space. Naturally, such exploits do not work in the real world. Our experiments show that it is possible to tune simulation parameters to improve sim2real predictivity (e.g. improving $SRCC_{Succ}$ from 0.18 to 0.844), increasing confidence that in-simulation comparisons will translate to deployed systems in reality.

description: The evidence for the spin density wave (SDW) nature of the pseudogap in HTSC cuprates is presented from resistive and direct gap measurements (ARPES, tunneling experiments, etc.). Its d-wave symmetry mimics the symmetry of the order parameter measured in the SC state. The magnetic phase $H-T$ diagram for HTSC cuprates is formed. The possible influence of an additional (SDW) order parameter on the vortex structure in the applied magnetic field is analysed. The behavior is discussed in terms of itinerant electron systems with interplay between superconductivity and magnetism.

description: Preliminary evidence has documented functional connectivity during the cognitive task in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). However, evidence of effective neural connectivity with respect to information flow between different brain regions during complex tasks is missing. The present paper aims to provide insights into the cognition-based neural dynamics reflecting information exchange in brain network under cognitive load in ASD. Twenty-two individuals with ASD (8–18 years) and 18 Typically Developing (TD; 6–17 years) individuals participated in the cognitive task of differentiating risky from neutral stimuli. The Conditional Entropy (CE) technique is applied upon task-activated Electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure the causal influence of the activity of brain’s one Region of interest (ROI) over another. A higher CE in frontal ROI and left hemisphere reflected atypical brain complexity in ASD. The absence of causal effect, poor Coupling Strength (CS; measured using CE) and hemisphere lateralization is responsible for lower cognition in ASD. However, the persistent information exchange during the task reflects the existence of certain alternative paths when other direct paths remained disconnected due to cognitive impairment. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier showed that CE can identify the atypical information exchange with an accuracy of 96.89% and area under curve = 0.987. The statistical results reflect a significant change in the information flow between different ROIs in ASD. A correlation of CS and behavioral domain suggests that the cognitive decline could be predicted from the connectivity patterns. Thus, CS could be a potential biomarker to identify cognitive status at a higher discrimination rate in ASD.

description: The effective optical depth in the Ly-alpha forest region of 1061 low-resolution QSO spectra drawn from the SDSS database decreases with decreasing redshift over the range 2.5 < z < 4. Although the evolution is relatively smooth, tau_eff ~ (1+z)^{3.8 pm 0.2}, at z ~ 3.2 the effective optical depth decreases suddenly, by about ten percent with respect to this smoother evolution. It climbs back to the original smooth scaling again by z ~ 2.9. We describe two techniques, one of which is new, for quantifying this evolution which give consistent results. A variety of tests show that the feature is not likely to be a consequence of how the QSO sample was selected, nor the result of flux calibration or other systematic effects. Other authors have argued that, at this same epoch, the temperature of the IGM also shows a departure from an otherwise smooth decrease with time. These features in the evolution of the temperature and the optical depth are signatures of the reionization of He II.

description: We consider a game-theoretic model of a market where investors compete for payoffs yielded by several assets. The main result consists in a proof of the existence and uniqueness of a strategy, called relative growth optimal, such that the logarithm of the share of its wealth in the total wealth of the market is a submartingale for any strategies of the other investors. It is also shown that this strategy is asymptotically optimal in the sense that it achieves the maximal capital growth rate when compared to competing strategies. Based on the results obtained, we study the asymptotic structure of the market when all the investors use the relative growth optimal strategy.

description: We investigate theoretically the $K^{0} p$ invariant mass spectrum of the $K^{+} d \to K^{0} p p$ reaction and scrutinize how the signal of the "$Θ^{+}$" pentaquark, if it exists, emerges in the $K^{0} p$ spectrum. The most prominent advantage of this reaction is that we can clearly judge whether the "$Θ^{+}$" exists or not as a direct-formation production without significant backgrounds, in contrast to other reactions such as photoproduction and $π$-induced productions. We show that while the impulse or single-step scattering process can cover the "$Θ^{+}$" energy region with an initial kaon momentum $k_{\mathrm{lab}} \approx 0.40\, \mathrm{GeV} / c$ in the laboratory frame, the contributions from double-step processes may have a potential possibility to reach the "$Θ^{+}$" energy region with a higher kaon momentum $k_{\mathrm{lab}} \sim 1 \, \mathrm{GeV} / c$. Assuming that the full decay width of the "$Θ^{+}$" is around $0.5\, \mathrm{MeV}$, we predict that the magnitude of the peak corresponding to the "$Θ^+$" is around a few hundred $μ\mathrm{b}$ to $1\, \mathrm{mb}$ with the momentum of the kaon beam $k_{\mathrm{lab}} \approx 0.40\, \mathrm{GeV} / c$ while it is around $\lesssim 1\, μ\mathrm{b}$ with $k_{\mathrm{lab}} \approx 0.85\, \mathrm{GeV} / c$. Thus, the "$Θ^+$" peak is more likely to be seen at $k_{\mathrm{lab}} \approx 0.40\, \mathrm{GeV} / c$ than at $k_{\mathrm{lab}} \approx 0.85 \,\mathrm{GeV} / c$.

description: We present our recent spectrophotometric results of the infrared luminous Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7679. We find compelling evidence of the presence of a recent nuclear starburst, revealed by the observations of a) the spectral features of high order Balmer absorption lines, b) the weak equivalent widths for CaIIK $λ$3933, CN $λ$4200, G-band $λ$4300 and MgIb $λ$5173, and c) the suggested UV stellar wind resonance lines (N V $λ$1240, Si IV $λ$1400 and C IV $λ$1550) in the IUE spectrum. Using the simple stellar population synthesis model, we find that in the nuclear 2" $\times$ 2" region, the contributions from the old, intermediate and young components are 21.7%, 42.9% and 35.4%, respectively. These nuclear starburst activities might be triggered by the close encounter with NGC 7682, as suggested by recent numerical simulations.

description: Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus which infects 50-100% of humans worldwide. HCMV causes a lifelong subclinical infection in immunocompetent individuals, but is a serious cause of mortality and morbidity in the immunocompromised and in neonates. Like other herpesviruses, HCMV establishes latency in specific cell types following primary infection, and reactivates periodically during the lifetime of the host. One important site of HCMV latency is early myeloid lineage cells, including hematopoietic progenitor cells and monocytes, in which the critical viral lytic promoter, the major immediate early promoter (MIEP), is repressed. This is mediated by a combination of host and viral factors, including the viral G-protein coupled receptor US28. Here, I explore mechanisms by which US28 optimises host cells for latent carriage. Using an unbiased proteomic screen, I have assessed changes in total host proteins induced by US28 and find that interferon-inducible genes are downregulated by US28. I validate that MHC Class II and two PYHIN proteins, MNDA and IFI16, are downregulated during experimental latency in primary human CD14+ monocytes. By overexpressing IFI16, I show that IFI16 can activate the viral major immediate early promoter and immediate early gene expression during latency via NF-κB, a function which explains why downregulation of IFI16 during latency is advantageous for the virus. I also show that MNDA is a potential restriction factor for HCMV latency. Since PYHIN proteins are sensors of double stranded DNA, I also investigate whether US28 interferes with the sensing of dsDNA. I also examine the antiviral potential of two US28-targeting reagents during HCMV latency. Lowering latent viral loads in solid organ or hematopoietic stem cell transplant donors and recipients is likely to lead to lower incidence of HCMV-disease in transplant patients. The first reagent, a US28-specific nanobody, inhibits US28 function and partially reverses latency. This leads to lytic gene expression, and subsequent recognition and killing of latently infected cells by naturally existing T cells from seropositive individuals. The second, a US28-specific immunotoxin, has previously been shown to directly kill latently infected cells. I show that new derivatives of this immunotoxin are more efficacious and can kill latently infected cells after a short incubation, paving the way for their use in ex vivo normothermic perfusion of solid organs from seropositive individuals prior to transplantation.

Gauge Coupling Unification in GUT with Anomalous U(1) Symmetry

description: We show that in the framework of grand unified theory (GUT) with anomalous $U(1)_A$ gauge symmetry, the success of the gauge coupling unification in the minimal SU(5) GUT is naturally explained, even if the mass spectrum of superheavy fields does not respect SU(5) symmetry. Because the unification scale for most realizations of the theory becomes smaller than the usual GUT scale, it suggests that the present level of experiments is close to that sufficient to observe proton decay via dimension 6 operators, $p\to e+π$.

description: A temporal analysis was performed on a sample of 100 bright short GRBs with T90 < 2s from the BATSE Current Catalog along with a similar analysis on 319 long bright GRBs with T90 > 2s from the same catalog. The short GRBs were denoised using a median filter and the long GRBs were denoised using a wavelet method. Both samples were subjected to an automated pulse selection algorithm to objectively determine the effects of neighbouring pulses. The rise times, fall times, FWHM, pulse amplitudes and areas were measured and their frequency distributions are presented. The time intervals between pulses were also measured. The frequency distributions of the pulse properties were found to be similar and consistent with lognormal distributions for both the short and long GRBs. The time intervals between the pulses and the pulse amplitudes of neighbouring pulses were found to be correlated with each other. The same emission mechanism can account for the two sub-classes of GRBs.

description: Nonlinear optical response is well studied in the context of semiconductors and has gained a renaissance in studies of topological materials in the recent decade. So far it mainly deals with non-magnetic materials and it is believed to root in the Berry curvature of the material band structure. In this work, we revisit the general formalism for the second-order optical response and focus on the consequences of the time-reversal-symmetry ($\mathcal{T}$) breaking, by a diagrammatic approach. We have identified three physical mechanisms to generate a dc photocurrent, i.e. the Berry curvature, the quantum metric, and the diabatic motion. All three effects can be understood intuitively from the anomalous acceleration. The first two terms are respectively the antisymmetric and symmetric parts of the quantum geometric tensor. The last term is due to the dynamical antilocalization that appears from the phase accumulation between time-reversed fermion loops. Additionally, we derive the semiclassical conductivity that includes both intra- and interband effects. We find that $\mathcal{T}$-breaking can lead to a greatly enhanced non-linear anomalous Hall effect that is beyond the contribution by the Berry curvature dipole.

Enhancement of the upper critical field by nonmagnetic impurities in dirty two-gap superconductors

description: Quasiclassic Uzadel equations for two-band superconductors in the dirty limit with the account of both intraband and interband scattering by nonmagnetic impurities are derived for any anisotropic Fermi surface. From these equations the Ginzburg-Landau equations, and the critical temperature $T_c$ are obtained. An equation for the upper critical field, which determines both the temperature dependence of $H_{c2}(T)$ and the orientational dependence of $H_{c2}(θ)$ as a function of the angle $θ$ between ${\bf H}$ and the c-axis is obtained. It is shown that the shape of the $H_{c2}(T)$ curve essentially depends on the ratio of the intraband electron diffusivities $D_1$ and $D_1$, and can be very different from the standard one-gap dirty limit theory. In particular, the value $H_{c2}(0)$ can considerably exceed $0.7T_cdH_{c2}/dT_c$, which can have important consequences for applications of $MgB_2$. A scaling relation is proposed which enables one to obtain the angular dependence of $H_{c2}(θ)$ from the equation for $H_{c2}$ at ${\bf H}\| c$. It is shown that, depending on the relation between $D_1$ and $D_2$, the ratio of the upper critical field $H_{c2}^\|/H_{c2}^\perp$ for ${\bf H}\| ab$ and ${\bf H}\perp ab$ can both increase and decrease as the temperature decreases. Implications of the obtained results for $MgB_2$ are discussed.

description: Glioblastoma is one of the most lethal tumors in adult central nervous system with a median survival of a year and half and effective therapeutic strategy is urgently needed. For that reason, stem cell-based suicide gene therapies have attracted much interest because of potent tumor tropism of stem cells and bystander effect. In this current clinical situation, stem cells are promising delivery tool of suicide genes for glioma therapy. Since habitual cigarette smoking still prevails worldwide, we investigated the effect of nicotine on stem cell tropism toward glioma and gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) function between glioma and stem cells, both of which are important for suicide gene therapies. Methods: Mouse induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural stem cells (iPS-NSCs) and human dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells (DPSCs) were used. The effect of nicotine on tumor tropism to glioma-conditioned medium (CM) at a non-cytotoxic concentration was assessed with Matrigel invasion assay. Nicotine effect on GJIC was assessed with the scrape loading/dye transfer (SL/DT) assay for co-culture of glioma and stem cells and the parachute assay among glioma cells using high-content analysis. Results: Tumor tropism of iPS-NSCs toward GL261-CM and DPSCs toward U251-CM was not affected by nicotine (0.1 and 1 µM). Nicotine at the concentrations equivalent to habitual smoking (1 µM) did not affect GJIC of iPS-NSC/GL261 and DPSC/U251 and GJIC among each glioma cells. Conclusions: The study demonstrated that non-cytotoxic concentrations of nicotine did not significantly change the stem cell properties requisite for stem cell-based suicide gene therapy.

description: Materials exhibiting topological order host exotic phenomena that could form the basis for novel developments in areas ranging from low-power electronics to quantum computers. The past decade has witnessed multiple experimental realizations and thousands of predictions of topological materials. However, it has been determined that increasing temperature destroys topological order, restricting many topological materials to very low temperatures and thus hampering practical applications. Here, we propose a material realization of temperature promoted topological order. We show that a semiconducting oxide that has been widely used in lead-acid batteries, $β$-PbO$_2$, hosts a topological semimetallic phase driven by both thermal expansion and electron-phonon coupling upon increasing temperature. We identify the interplay between the quasi-two-dimensional nature of the charge distribution of the valence band with the three-dimensional nature of the charge distribution of the conduction band as the microscopic mechanism driving this unconventional temperature dependence. Thus, we propose a general principle to search for and design novel topological materials whose topological order is stabilized by increasing temperature. This provides a clear roadmap for taking topological materials from the laboratory to technological devices.

description: We have obtained HST WFPC2 and ground-based images of two low surface brightness dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the M81 group, FM1 and KKH57. Their colour-magnitude diagrams show red giant branches with tips at I = 23.77 +- 0.14 and I = 23.97 +- 0.17, respectively. The derived true distance moduli, 27.66 +- 0.16 and 27.96 +- 0.19, agree well with the mean distance modulus of the M81 group, 27.84 +- 0.05. Absolute V magnitudes of the galaxies (-11.46 and -10.85), their colours ((B-V) = 0.88 and 0.80), and central surface brightnesses ($Σ_{0,V}$ = 24.8 and 24.4 mag/$\sq\arcsec$) are in the range of other dSph companions of M81, M31, and Milky Way. With two new objects the maximum projected radius of the dwarf spheroidal subsystem around M81 is 380 kpc.

description: Quantum many-body systems have been extensively studied from the perspective of quantum technology, and conversely, critical phenomena in such systems have been characterized by operationally relevant resources like entanglement. In this paper, we investigate robustness of magic (RoM), the resource in magic state injection based quantum computation schemes in the context of the transverse field anisotropic XY model. We show that the the factorizable ground state in the symmetry broken configuration is composed of an enormous number of highly magical $H$ states. We find the existence of a point very near the quantum critical point where magic contained explicitly in the correlation between two distant qubits attains a sharp maxima. Unlike bipartite entanglement, this persists over very long distances, capturing the presence of long range correlation near the phase transition. We derive scaling laws and extract corresponding exponents around criticality. Finally, we study the effect of temperature on two-qubit RoM and show that it reveals a crossover between dominance of quantum and thermal fluctuations.

description: 66. Blainvillia Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830: 514.
 ORIGINALLY INCLUDED SPECIES: Blainvillia palpata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830.
 TYPE SPECIES: Blainvillia palpata Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, by monotypy.
 CURRENT STATUS: Junior synonym of Hydrotaea Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 [teste Pont (1986b: 74)].
FAMILY: MUSCIDAE.
 REMARKS: Robineau-Desvoidy (1830) proposed this name twice for two different genera in this work. The Blainvillia on page 514 was for a single species collected in 1828, two years after he presented his original draft of the Myodaires to the Académie des Sciences, with an etymology “ Je dédie ce genre à M. Ducrotay de Blainville, un de mes maîtres, et l’auteur du rapport qui m’a valu les honneurs de l’impression pour les Myodaires ”. The second Blainvillia (on page 713, see entry below) has no date of collection and only a short dedication to “ M. de Blainville, auteur du Rapport sur mes Myodaires ”. It is possible that the second Blainvillia (on page 713) originally had another name and Robineau-Desvoidy changed it soon after Blainville gave his report to the Académie in 1826 in order to honor him. Two years later (in 1828), he collected a new genus in Saint-Sauveur and wanted to add it to his paper with a name honoring his “ maître ” but forgot he had already changed the name of one of his genera to honor the same person. While it is possible to synonymize this Blainvillia (1830: 514) with Hydrotaea because of its position in the text between Hydrotaea and Ophyra Robineau-Desvoidy (also a junior synonym of Hydrotaea), the type species cannot be interpreted because Robineau-Desvoidy clearly described two different species (one with plumose arista, one with pubescent arista) as the male and female of his Blainvillia palpata.
