description: Utilizing the full CLEO-c data sample of 818 pb$^{-1}$ of $e^+e^-$ data taken at the $ψ(3770)$ resonance, we update our measurements of absolute hadronic branching fractions of charged and neutral $D$ mesons. We previously reportedresults from subsets of these data. Using a double tag technique we obtain branching fractions for three $D^0$ and six $D^+$ modes, including the reference branching fractions $\mathcal{B} (D^0\to K^-π^+)=(3.934 \pm 0.021 \pm 0.061)\%$ and $\mathcal{B} (D^+ \to K^- π^+π^+)=(9.224 \pm 0.059 \pm 0.157)\%$. The uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. In these measurements we include the effects of final-state radiation by allowing for additional unobserved photons in the final state, and the systematic errors include our estimates of the uncertainties of these effects. Furthermore, using an independent measurement of the luminosity, we obtain the cross sections $σ(e^+e^-\to D^0\overline{D}{}^0)=(3.607\pm 0.017 \pm 0.056) \ \mathrm{nb}$ and $σ(e^+e^-\to D^+D^-)=(2.882\pm 0.018 \pm 0.042) \ \mathrm{nb}$ at a center of mass energy, $E_\mathrm{cm} = 3774 \pm 1$ MeV.

Many Worlds, the Born Rule, and Self-Locating Uncertainty

description: We provide a derivation of the Born Rule in the context of the Everett (Many-Worlds) approach to quantum mechanics. Our argument is based on the idea of self-locating uncertainty: in the period between the wave function branching via decoherence and an observer registering the outcome of the measurement, that observer can know the state of the universe precisely without knowing which branch they are on. We show that there is a uniquely rational way to apportion credence in such cases, which leads directly to the Born Rule. Our analysis generalizes straightforwardly to cases of combined classical and quantum self-locating uncertainty, as in the cosmological multiverse.

description: Within a transport model coupled with a microscopic coalescence model, the directed and elliptic flows of protons and deuterons as well as their scalling properties are studied in the centrality of 20-30% Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.4$ GeV. It is found that the flows as well as their scaling properties simulated with the isospin- and momentum-dependent nuclear mean field with an incompressibility $K_{0}=230$ MeV fit fairly the HADES data, while those simulated with the commonly used momentum-independent nuclear mean field with an incompressibility $K_{0}=380$ MeV can only fit partially the HADES data. Moreover, by checking the rapidity distributions of both protons and deuterons in the centrality of 0-10% Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.4$ GeV, we find that the rapidity distributions of deuterons are underestimated while those of protons are overestimated by the simulations with the momentum-independent nuclear mean field. In contrast, the rapidity distributions of both protons and deuterons simulated with the isospin- and momentum-dependent nuclear mean field are in good agreement with the HADES data. Our findings imply that the momentum dependence of nuclear mean field is an unavoidable feature for a fundamental understanding of nuclear matter properties and for the successful interpretation of the HADES data.

description: When there is conspicuous under-exploitation of a limited resource, it is worth asking what mechanisms allow presumably valuable resources to be left unused? Evolutionary biologists have generated a wide range of hypotheses to explain this, ranging from interdemic group selection to selfishly prudent individual restraint. We consider a situation in which, in spite of high intraspecific competition, individuals leave most of a key resource unexploited. The parasitic wasp that does this finds virtually all host egg clusters in a landscape, but parasitizes only about a third of the eggs in each, and then leaves a deterrent mark around the cluster. We first test, and reject, a series of system-specific simple constraints that might limit full host exploitation, such as asynchronous maturation of host eggs. We then consider classical hypotheses for the evolution of restraint. Prudent predation and bet-hedging fail as explanations because the wasp lives as a large well-mixed population. Also, we find no individual benefits to the parasitoid of developing in a sparsely parasitized host nest. However an optimal foraging model, including empirically measured costs of superparasitism and hyperparasitism, can explain through individual selection, both the consistently low rate of parasitism and marking.

description: Excerpts: The Bureau of Agricultural Economics publishes annual rail, freight-rate index numbers for wheat, cotton, fresh fruits and vegetables, livestock and meats, and a combined index for farm commodities. Except for the meat index, which began in 1940, these series cover the period since 1913. The Interstate Commerce Commission publishes rail freight rate index series for various rail- freight classes beginning in 1947. This publication is intended to describe the current methods of making rail freight-rate indexes and to give transportation researchers and agricultural economists the information necessary to evaluate the utility of these tools in regard to particular problems or studies. In addition to the Bureau of Agricultural Economics index series, an analysis of the average rail freight-rate indexes of the Interstate Commerce Commission is included, in order that the methods used, and the measure of comparability and variations between the two series may be shown.

description: We propose a method for human pose estimation based on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). The pose estimation is formulated as a DNN-based regression problem towards body joints. We present a cascade of such DNN regressors which results in high precision pose estimates. The approach has the advantage of reasoning about pose in a holistic fashion and has a simple but yet powerful formulation which capitalizes on recent advances in Deep Learning. We present a detailed empirical analysis with state-of-art or better performance on four academic benchmarks of diverse real-world images.

description: We examine the defect gauge theory on two perpendicular D3-branes with a 1+1 dimensional intersection, consisting of $U(1)$ fields on the D3-branes and charged hypermultiplets on the intersection. We argue that this gauge theory must have a magnetically charged soliton corresponding to the D-string stretched between the branes. We show that the hypermultiplets do source magnetic as well as electric fields, but the magnetic charges are confined if the hypermultiplet action is canonical. Considerations of periodicity of the hypermultiplet space lead to a nontrivial Gibbons-Hawking metric, and we show that there is then the expected magnetic kink solution. The hypermultiplet metric has a singularity, which we argue must be resolved by embedding in the full string theory. Another interesting feature is that the classical field equations have logarithmic divergences at the intersection, which lead to a classical renormalization group flow in the action.

description: While developments in machine learning led to impressive performance gains on big data, many human subjects data are, in actuality, small and sparsely labeled. Existing methods applied to such data often do not easily generalize to out-of-sample subjects. Instead, models must make predictions on test data that may be drawn from a different distribution, a problem known as \textit{zero-shot learning}. To address this challenge, we develop an end-to-end framework using a meta-learning approach, which enables the model to rapidly adapt to a new prediction task with limited training data for out-of-sample test data. We use three real-world small-scale human subjects datasets (two randomized control studies and one observational study), for which we predict treatment outcomes for held-out treatment groups. Our model learns the latent treatment effects of each intervention and, by design, can naturally handle multi-task predictions. We show that our model performs the best holistically for each held-out group and especially when the test group is distinctly different from the training group. Our model has implications for improved generalization of small-size human studies to the wider population.

description: With the ultimate aim of using the fundamental or $f$-mode to study helioseismic aspects of turbulence-generated magnetic flux concentrations, we use randomly forced hydromagnetic simulations of a piecewise isothermal layer in two dimensions with reflecting boundaries at top and bottom. We compute numerically diagnostic wavenumber-frequency diagrams of the vertical velocity at the interface between the denser gas below and the less dense gas above. For an Alfvén-to-sound speed ratio of about 0.1, a 5% frequency increase of the $f$-mode can be measured when $k_xH_{\rm p}=3$-$4$, where $k_x$ is the horizontal wavenumber and $H_{\rm p}$ is the pressure scale height at the surface. Since the solar radius is about 2000 times larger than $H_{\rm p}$, the corresponding spherical harmonic degree would be 6000-8000. For weaker fields, a $k_x$-dependent frequency decrease by the turbulent motions becomes dominant. For vertical magnetic fields, the frequency is enhanced for $k_xH_{\rm p}\approx4$, but decreased relative to its nonmagnetic value for $k_xH_{\rm p}\approx9$.

Density dependence of elastic properties of graphynes

Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: Graphyne is a two-dimensional carbon allotrope of graphene. Its structure is composed of aromatic rings and/or carbon-carbon bonds connected by one or more acetylene chains. As some graphynes present the most of the excellent properties of graphene and non-null bandgap, they have been extensively studied. Recently, Kanegae and Fonseca reported calculations of four elastic properties of 70 graphynes, ten members of the seven families of graphynes [Carbon Trends 7, 100152 (2022)]. They showed that the acetylene chain length dependence of these properties can be simply modelled by a serial association of springs. Here, based on those results, we present the density dependence of these properties and show that the elastic moduli, $E$, of graphyne are less dependent on density, $ρ$, than porous cellular materials with an exponent of $E \sim ρ^{n}$, smaller than 2. We discuss the results in terms of the shape of the pores of the graphyne structures.

description: Two colloidal particles, driven around an optical vortex trap, have been recently shown to pair due to an interplay between hydrodynamic interactions and the curved path they are forced to follow. We demonstrate here, that this pairing interaction can be tuned experimentally, and study its effect on the collective excitations of many particles driven around such an optical trap. We find that even though the system is overdamped, hydrodynamic interactions due to driving give rise to non-decaying excitations with characteristic dispersion relations. The collective excitations of the colloidal ring reflect fluctuations of particle pairs rather than those of single particles.

Refining methods to map the central projections of the supraoptic nucleus
Creators: name: Nedelkoska, Teodora
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Introduction | The supraoptic nucleus (SON) is an anterior hypothalamic nucleus known for its release of vasopressin and oxytocin through the posterior pituitary. Evidence exists for the extra-pituitary efferent projections of SON neurons, however comprehensive mapping of the destinations and functions of these has not been established. We attempted to comprehensively map the SON’s connectome by refining an AAV vector-based mapping approach. Methods | AAVs were microinjected at the SON for reporter expression via a pan-cellular promoter CBA, or by endogenous promoters for CaMKIIα, oxytocin and vasopressin (Lewis rats: n = 24). We validated the phenotype specificity of CaMKIIα expression in glutamatergic neurons in the SON and lateral preoptic area using immunohistochemical colocalisation with VGLUT2. We designed and built a novel vector with a vasopressin promoter (AVP-cre) packaged into an AAV1/2 vector and tested its specificity for transfecting vasopressin neurons. We also used conventional tracers (retrograde CTB) to confirm putative central projections of SON neurons as proof of concept. Results | The CBA and CaMKIIα vectors effectively transduced SON neurons but were not SON exclusive. The CaMKIIα characterisation resulted in 88.5 % VGLUT2 colocalisation in the SON and 86.3 % in the lateral preoptic area. The AVP-cre vector was not specific to vasopressin neurons in the SON or PVN and failed to be taken up by magnocellular neurons. Anterograde mapping using CBA and CaMKIIα allowed for subtractive mapping of the transduced populations’ efferent projections. CTB retrograde mapping identified a major projection from SON to the median preoptic nucleus in rat that suggests involvement of the SON in thermoregulatory functions, and potentially other physiological responses. Conclusions | Exclusive anterograde labelling of SON central projections remains a challenge. The creation of a vasopressin-specific vector for expression of cre-recombinase remains of significance and will enable a variety of functional manipulation and projection mapping techniques. The identification of a central projection to the median preoptic nucleus allows for new avenues in SON physiological research.

description: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have advanced existing medical systems for automatic disease diagnosis. However, there are still concerns about the reliability of deep medical diagnosis systems against the potential threats of adversarial attacks since inaccurate diagnosis could lead to disastrous consequences in the safety realm. In this study, we propose a highly robust yet efficient CNN-Transformer hybrid model which is equipped with the locality of CNNs as well as the global connectivity of vision Transformers. To mitigate the high quadratic complexity of the self-attention mechanism while jointly attending to information in various representation subspaces, we construct our attention mechanism by means of an efficient convolution operation. Moreover, to alleviate the fragility of our Transformer model against adversarial attacks, we attempt to learn smoother decision boundaries. To this end, we augment the shape information of an image in the high-level feature space by permuting the feature mean and variance within mini-batches. With less computational complexity, our proposed hybrid model demonstrates its high robustness and generalization ability compared to the state-of-the-art studies on a large-scale collection of standardized MedMNIST-2D datasets.

description: Generative AI models have shown impressive ability to produce images with text prompts, which could benefit creativity in visual art creation and self-expression. However, it is unclear how precisely the generated images express contexts and emotions from the input texts. We explored the emotional expressiveness of AI-generated images and developed RePrompt, an automatic method to refine text prompts toward precise expression of the generated images. Inspired by crowdsourced editing strategies, we curated intuitive text features, such as the number and concreteness of nouns, and trained a proxy model to analyze the feature effects on the AI-generated image. With model explanations of the proxy model, we curated a rubric to adjust text prompts to optimize image generation for precise emotion expression. We conducted simulation and user studies, which showed that RePrompt significantly improves the emotional expressiveness of AI-generated images, especially for negative emotions.

The classical geometrization of the electromagnetism

Year: 2014

description: Following the line of the history, if by one side the electromagnetic theory was consolidated on the 19th century, the emergence of the special and the general relativity theories on the 20th century opened possibilities of further developments, with the search for the unification of the gravitation and the electromagnetism on a single unified theory. Some attempts to the geometrization of the electromagnetism emerged in this context, where these first models resided strictly on a classical basis. Posteriorly, they were followed by more complete and embracing quantum field theories. The present work reconsiders the classical viewpoint, with the purpose of showing that at first order of approximation the electromagnetism constitutes a geometric structure aside other phenomena as gravitation, and that magnetic monopoles do not exist at least up to this order of approximation. Even though being limited, the model is consistent and offers the possibility of an experimental test of validity.

description: We analytically study the superradiant instability of a charged massless scalar field in the background of D-dimensional Reissner-Nordström (RN) black hole caused by the mirror's boundary condition. By using the asymptotic matching method to solve the Klein-Gordon equation that govern the dynamics of the scalar field, we have derived the expressions of the complex parts of the boxed quasinormal frequencies, and shown they are positive in the regime of superradiance. This indicates the charged scalar field is unstable in D-dimensional Reissner-Nordström (RN) black hole surrounded by mirror. The numerical work to calculate the boxed quasinormal frequencies in this system is still required in the future.

description: Excerpts: This is a series of talks on rural zoning made by Erling D. Solberg, Farm Economics Research Division, Agricultural Research Service, between 1951 and 1959. Most of the talks have been quoted from or cited in zoning, planning, and economic literature. Although each talk deals with rural zoning, the contents of the talks differ. Each speech was a vehicle for developing a different aspect of zoning. For example, in the first, Rural Zoning, Present and Future (page 3), the functional and geographic scope of zoning authority and of zoning regulations in unincorporated areas were discussed, and some emerging land use problems were examined. Then came such talks as Roadside Zoning (page 14), to assure safer and more efficient highways; Rural Zoning Tools and Objectives (page 26), in which was discussed pioneer zoning in the cutover counties of Wisconsin, and later zoning to protect farming areas; Shall Our Better Soils Grow Crops or Houses (page 39), which depicted the loss to agriculture of the more fertile lands on an expanding urban fringe; Some Limitations and Possibilities of Rural Zoning (page 42), Some Agricultural Zoning Problems (page 47), in which were discussed the obstacles that prevent a wider and more effective use of zoning tools for the protection of agriculture; and Cities and Farms, Side by Side (page 52), which debated the advisability of reserving our more productive soils to meet probable future food and fiber needs, described the incidence of benefits from such reservation, and suggested several protective measures. The more recent talks were concerned with Reshaping Zoning Tools to Serve Agriculture, (page 65), with the idea of making them more effective for agriculture, including avoidance of urban-agricultural land use conflicts; Zoning of Prospective Land Use Areas (page 72), which discussed urban- agricultural conflicts and remedial zoning measures from the viewpoint of the suburbanite; and Farmers Too Can Benefit From Zoning (page 84), in which the use of old and new zoning tools for the protection of agriculture, with special reference to the exploding urban fringe, was outlined.

description: The time-of-flight method is a fundamental approach for characterizing the transport properties of semiconductors. Recently, the transient photocurrent and optical absorption kinetics have been simultaneously measured for thin films; pulsed-light excitation of thin films should give rise to non-negligible in-depth carrier injection. Yet, the effects of in-depth carrier injection on the transient currents and optical absorption have not yet been elucidated theoretically. Here, by considering the in-depth carrier injection in simulations, we found a 1/t^{1-alpha/2} initial time (t) dependence rather than the conventional $1/t^{1-alpha}$ dependence under a weak external electric field, where alpha<1 is the index of dispersive diffusion.The asymptotic transient currents are not influenced by the initial in-depth carrier injection and follow the conventional 1/t^{1+alpha} time dependence. We also present the relation between the field-dependent mobility coefficient and the diffusion coefficient when the transport is dispersive. The field dependence of the transport coefficients influences the transit time in the photocurrent kinetics dividing two power-law decay regimes. The classical Scher--Montroll theory predicts a_1+a_2=2 when the initial photocurrent decay is given by 1/t^{a_1} and the asymptotic photocurrent decay is given by 1/t^{a_2}. The results shed light on the interpretation of the power-law exponent of 1/t^{a_1} when a_1+a_2neq 2.

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION ON DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF BUS STRUCTURE BY OPTIMIZING THE FRAME SIZE
Creators: name: TEWODROS GAMEA
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: This research presents the numerical investigation of the dynamic response of bus structure by optimizing the frame size. The study is very important to fill the gap in the area of vehicle structure response due to maneuverability. Here it is aimed to optimize the weight of bus body structure by evaluating its stress and deformation. The study worked at Bishoftu bus model ZK6118HGA, modeled with solid work 18 and analysis has been done with ANSYS 19.0. Braking left corner, and right cornering test has been performed. Optimization has been done by replacing overdesigned RHS (rectangular hollow section) with lower-sized RHS. The improved structure was also investigated with the cornering and braking tests.

description: Perturbative QCD in mass independent schemes leads in general to running coupling $a(Q^2)$ which is nonanalytic (nonholomorphic) in the regime of low spacelike momenta $|Q^2| \lesssim 1 \ {\rm GeV}^2$. Such (Landau) singularities are inconvenient in the following sense: evaluations of spacelike physical quantities ${\cal D}(Q^2)$ with such a running coupling $a(κQ^2)$ ($κ\sim 1$) give us expressions with the same kind of singularities, while the general principles of local quantum field theory require that the mentioned physical quantities have no such singularities. In a previous work, certain classes of perturbative mass independent beta functions were found such that the resulting coupling was holomorphic. However, the resulting perturbation series showed explosive increase of coefficients already at ${\rm N}^4{\rm LO}$ order, as a consequence of the requirement that the theory reproduce the correct value of the $τ$ lepton semihadronic strangeless decay ratio $r_τ$. In this work we successfully extend the construction to specific classes of perturbative beta functions such that the perturbation series do not show explosive increase of coefficients, the perturbative coupling is holomorphic, and the correct value of $r_τ$ is reproduced. In addition, we extract, with Borel sum rule analysis of the V+A channel of the semihadronic strangeless decays of $τ$ lepton, reasonable values of the corresponding D=4 and D=6 condensates.

description: The homogeneity of filter media is important for material selection and quality control, along with the specific weight (nominal grammage) and the distribution of the local weight. Cloudiness or formation is a concept used to describe deviations from homogeneity in filter media. We suggest to derive the cloudiness index from the power spectrum of the relative local areal weight, integrated over a selected frequency range. The power spectrum captures the energy density in a broad spectral range. Moreover, under certain conditions, the structure of a nonwoven is fully characterized by the areal weight, the variance of the local areal weight, and the power spectrum. Consequently, the power spectrum is the parameter that exclusively reflects the cloudiness. Here, we address questions arising from practical application. The most prominent is the choice of the spectral band. It certainly depends on the characteristic "size of the clouds", but is limited by the size and lateral resolution of the images. We show that the cloudiness index based on the power spectrum of the relative local areal weight is theoretically well founded and can be robustly measured from image data. Choosing the spectral band allows to capture the cloudiness either visually perceived or found to be decisive for product properties. It is thus well suited to build a technical standard on it.

Economic Analysis of Flood Detention Storage by Digital Computer
Creators: name: Villines, James Ray

Publisher: name: Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute, University of Kentucky
Year: 1968

description: Abstract:
The objective of this study was to develop a digital computer procedure for preliminary analysis of the economic justification of reservoir detention storage for flood control and to present a sample study illustrating its application. A computer program called the University of Kentucky Flood Control Planning Program III was developed and tested on the flood plain of the South Fork of the Licking River in northeastern Kentucky.
Given a specified reservoir site and a downstream flood plain divided into planning units, Program III selects the economically efficient combination of reservoir detention storage and the associated combination of channel improvement, flood proofing, land-use management, and residual flooding for each downstream planning unit. The Program does not attempt final measure design but isolates those combinations of measures for which detailed data collection and analysis is warranted.
This study presents a description of the basic Program logic and the results of its application along the South Fork, Licking River, as well as a FORTRAN IV listing of the computer program and a listing of the input data used in the South Fork, Licking River analysis.

description: Transport in complex systems is characterized by a fractal dimension -- the walk dimension -- that indicates the diffusive or anomalous nature of the underlying random walk process. Here we report on the experimental retrieval of this key quantity, using light waves propagating in disordered media. The approach is based on measurements of the time-resolved transmission, in particular on how the lifetime scales with sample size. We show that this allows one to retrieve the walk dimension and apply the concept to samples with varying degree of fractal heterogeneity. In addition, the method provides the first experimental demonstration of anomalous light dynamics in a random medium.
A Search For Long Lived Particles that Decay to Muons Using the ATLAS Detector
Creators: name: Yexley, Melissa
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis presents an analysis that uses the ATLAS detector to search for long-lived particles decaying to muons using 139 inverse femtobarns of √s = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions produced by the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) between 2015 and 2018. The analysis specifically searches for a pair of isolated, opposite sign muons whose tracks have an absolute transverse impact parameter, with respect to the centre of the beam spot, between 0.6 mm and 3 mm. This signature has sensitivity to the production of theoretical supersymmetric muon particles with lifetimes between 1 ps and 100 ps. The analysis uses a data driven background estimate. Results are consistent with the background estimate, therefore limits on production are determined in the context of a simplified Gauge Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking (GMSB) model where pair produced smuons each decay to a gravitino and a muon. Left- and right-handed muon super-partners with masses of at least 50 GeV have been excluded at 95% CLs for proper decay times between 1 ps and 120 ps, with a maximum exclusion of 520 GeV occurring at a proper decay time of 10 ps. This is the first study that uses ATLAS to search for opposite sign muon pairs in this transverse impact parameter region that does not require the leptons to come from a common displaced vertex.
