Color Superconductivity in Schwinger-Dyson Approach -- Strange Quark Mass and Color-Flavor Unlocking Line --

description: Phase structure and phase transitions in dense QCD are studied using the Schwinger-Dyson (SD) method in the improved ladder approximation. We construct the Cornwall-Jackiw-Tomboulis (CJT) effective potentials at finite temperature for two types of pairing ansatz, namely the Color-Flavor locking (CFL) state and the two flavor superconducting (2SC) state. Strong coupling effects at low densities, such as the off-Fermi surface and antiquarks contribution to the pairing gap due to the large effective coupling, make the gap, critical temperature and those ratio deviate from those weak coupling values. Nevertheless, the ratio of the physical quantity for the CFL and that for the 2SC does not differ so much from the weak coupling value, as long as the pairing interaction is taken to be the same for the both cases. As a consequence, the CFL state always dominates over 2SC state and the critical temperatures to quark-gluon plasma (QGP) from both states coincides in the chiral limit. The energy gain in the CFL state relative to the 2SC state gets smaller towards the critical line dividing (mu, T) plane into the QGP and CFL phases, and thus small perturbations can remove the degeneracy of these critical lines. As one of such perturbations, the effect of the strange quark mass m_s on the quark-pairing is examined. In particular, using a simple kinematical criterion, we discuss the behaviour of the ``color-flavor unlocking line'' on which the CFL phase turns into the 2SC phase, against the variation of m_s.

description: Identifying bio-signals based-sleep stages requires time-consuming and tedious labor of skilled clinicians. Deep learning approaches have been introduced in order to challenge the automatic sleep stage classification conundrum. However, the difficulties can be posed in replacing the clinicians with the automatic system due to the differences in many aspects found in individual bio-signals, causing the inconsistency in the performance of the model on every incoming individual. Thus, we aim to explore the feasibility of using a novel approach, capable of assisting the clinicians and lessening the workload. We propose the transfer learning framework, entitled MetaSleepLearner, based on Model Agnostic Meta-Learning (MAML), in order to transfer the acquired sleep staging knowledge from a large dataset to new individual subjects. The framework was demonstrated to require the labelling of only a few sleep epochs by the clinicians and allow the remainder to be handled by the system. Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP) was also applied to understand the learning course of our approach. In all acquired datasets, in comparison to the conventional approach, MetaSleepLearner achieved a range of 5.4\% to 17.7\% improvement with statistical difference in the mean of both approaches. The illustration of the model interpretation after the adaptation to each subject also confirmed that the performance was directed towards reasonable learning. MetaSleepLearner outperformed the conventional approaches as a result from the fine-tuning using the recordings of both healthy subjects and patients. This is the first work that investigated a non-conventional pre-training method, MAML, resulting in a possibility for human-machine collaboration in sleep stage classification and easing the burden of the clinicians in labelling the sleep stages through only several epochs rather than an entire recording.

description: Phosphorus is a key ingredient in terrestrial biochemistry, but is rarely observed in the molecular ISM and therefore little is known about how it is inherited during the star and planet formation sequence. We present observations of the phosphorus-bearing molecules PO and PN towards the Class I low-mass protostar B1-a using the IRAM 30m telescope, representing the second detection of phosphorus carriers in a Solar-type star forming region. The P/H abundance contained in PO and PN is ~10$^{-10}$-10$^{-9}$ depending on the assumed source size, accounting for just 0.05-0.5% of the solar phosphorus abundance and implying significant sequestration of phosphorus in refractory material. Based on a comparison of the PO and PN line profiles with the shock tracers SiO, SO$_2$, and CH$_3$OH, the phosphorus molecule emission seems to originate from shocked gas and is likely associated with a protostellar outflow. We find a PO/PN column density ratio of ~1-3, which is consistent with the values measured in the shocked outflow of the low-mass protostar L1157, the massive star-forming regions W51 and W3(OH), and the galactic center GMC G+0.693-0.03. This narrow range of PO/PN ratios across sources with a range of environmental conditions is surprising, and likely encodes information on how phosphorus carriers are stored in grain mantles.

description: In this work, we present the mass spectrum of higher charomona around and above 4.6 GeV by adopting the unquenched potential model. We perform a combined fit to the updated experimental data of $e^+e^- \to ψ(2S)π^+π^-$ and $e^+e^-\to Λ_c\barΛ_c$. To understand the "platform" structure observed in the range of $4.57 \sim 4.60$ GeV existing in the $Λ_c\barΛ_c$ invariant mass spectrum of $e^+e^-\to Λ_c\barΛ_c$ of BESIII, we introduce two resonances in this combined fit to the $e^+e^- \to ψ(2S)π^+π^-$ and $e^+e^-\to Λ_c\barΛ_c$, which have resonance parameters, $m_{Y_1}=4585\pm2$ MeV, $Γ_{Y_1}=29.8\pm8.0$ MeV, $m_{Y_2}=4676\pm7$ MeV, and $Γ_{Y_2}=85.7\pm15.0$ MeV. Furthermore, combining with our theoretical results, we indicate that the two charmonium-like $Y$ states can be due to two higher charmonia, which are mixtures of $6S$ and $5D$ $c\bar{c}$ states. Their two-body open-charm decay behaviors are given. Under the same framework, our analysis of the data of $e^+e^-\to D_{s}^+D_{s1}(2536)^-$ recently released by Belle supports to introduce these two higher charmonia around 4.6 GeV. Additionally, we predict the masses and two-body open-charm decays of six higher charmonia $ψ(nS)$ and $ψ(mD)$ with $n=7,8,9$ and $m=6,7,8$ above 4.6 GeV. Search for these higher charmonia will be an interesting issue for the running BESIII and BelleII, and even the possible Super Tau-Charm Factory discussed in China.

description: The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an independent global health research center at the University of Washington. In 2011, IHME launched the Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx), the world's most comprehensive health data catalog and repository. The GHDx includes entries (records) for surveys, censuses, vital statistics, and many other sources of health-related data and provides context for those datasets through pages on countries, series and systems, and organizations. For the 40th iASSIST Conference, IHME will provide a Track 1 Individual Proposal covering the development and implementation of the GHDx, showing how the GHDx enables the successful collection, storage, and attribution of social science data and demonstrating visualizations linking input data to research products. This session will cover the challenges of data sensitivity, management, and the "value chain" of data in research. Presenters will further explore how skilled cataloging, technology and data management improve data linkages, standardize attribution, integrate sources, and ensure data discovery for IHME's researchers, thereby improving IHME's publicly available estimates and reports.

Anisotropy of exchange stiffness and its effect on the properties of magnets

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using the spin-spiral formulation of the tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital method, the principal components of the exchange stiffness tensor are calculated for typical hard magnets including tetragonal CoPt-type and hexagonal YCo5 alloys. The exchange stiffness is strongly anisotropic in all studied alloys. This anisotropy makes the domain wall surface tension anisotropic. Competition between this anisotropic surface tension and magnetostatic energy controls the formation and dynamics of nanoscale domain structures in hard magnets. Anisotropic domain wall bending is described in detail from the general point of view and with application to cellular Sm-Co magnets. It is shown that the repulsive cell-boundary pinning mechanism in these magnets is feasible only due to the anisotropic exchange stiffness if suitably oriented initial pinning centers are available. In polytwinned CoPt-type magnets the exchange stiffness anisotropy controls the orientation of macrodomain wall segments. These segments may reorient both statically during microstructural coarsening and dynamically during the macrodomain wall splitting in external field. Reorientation of segments may facilitate their pinning at antiphase boundaries.

description: For a system of correlated electrons, the Luttinger-Ward functional provides a link between static thermodynamic quantities on the one hand and single-particle excitations on the other. The functional is useful to derive several general properties of the system as well as for the formulation of thermodynamically consistent approximations. Its original construction, however, is perturbative as it is based on the weak-coupling skeleton-diagram expansion. Here, it is shown that the Luttinger-Ward functional can be derived within a general functional-integral approach. This alternative and non-perturbative approach stresses the fact that the Luttinger-Ward functional is universal for a large class of models.

description: The search for supersymmetry with the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider intensified after the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. The search programme expanded in both breadth and depth, profiting from the increased integrated luminosity and higher centre-of-mass energy of Run 2, and gaining new sensitivity to unexplored areas of supersymmetry parameter space through the use of new experimental signatures and innovative analysis techniques. This report summarises the supersymmetry searches at ATLAS using up to 140 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV, including the limits set on the production of gluinos, squarks, and electroweakinos for scenarios either with or without R-parity conservation, and including models where some of the supersymmetric particles are long-lived.

description: Flag manifolds are generalizations of projective spaces and other Grassmannians: they parametrize flags, which are nested sequences of subspaces in a given vector space. These are important objects in algebraic and differential geometry, but are also increasingly being used in data science, where many types of data are properly understood as subspaces rather than vectors. In this paper we discuss partially oriented flag manifolds, which parametrize flags in which some of the subspaces may be endowed with an orientation. We compute the expected distance between random points on some low-dimensional examples, which we view as a statistical baseline against which to compare the distances between particular partially oriented flags coming from geometry or data.

description: The Amnesty International Research Data and Digital Collection Project is a collaborative venture involving Amnesty International USA (AI-USA), and Purdue University researchers. A Purdue University political scientist in her role as a member of the AI-USA's Archives Advisory Committee, discovered the need to preserve the early records of AI-USA, and in her professional capacity was also aware of the research value of the documents. In particular, she was interested in patterns of change in the culture of human rights appeals and legal instrumentation. Through contractual agreement, the researcher was able to obtain the documents. She was also able to obtain two data sources, both containing data about the Urgent Action Bulletins dating back to 1974. In addition to these data sources, through Nvivo coding, a third data source was created. This paper will discuss the collaborative relationship with AI-USA, the merging of the data sources, additional metadata development, and the final dataset created for the Purdue Researcher. Additionally, three research products resulting from the project will be discussed: a faceted research dataset, a raw dataset inclusive of the merged data sources and metadata, and a human rights controlled vocabulary honed from several existing vocabularies developed for this project.

The main questions are "What is left?" and "What is the next?" In the new phase, the phenomenological objectives of neutrino physics consist of accomplishing the program of reconstruction of the neutrino mass and flavor spectrum and searches for physics beyond the ``standard'' picture. The latter includes searches for new (sterile) neutrino states, new neutrino interactions, effects of violation of the fundamental symmetries in the neutrino sector.

description: The generalized Rabi model (gRM) with both one- and two-photon coupling terms has been successfully implemented in circuit quantum electrodynamics systems. In this paper, we examine theoretically multiphoton resonances in the gRM and derive their effective Hamiltonians. With different detunings in the system, we show that all three- to six-photon resonances can be achieved by involving two intermediate states. Furthermore, we study the interplay between multiphoton resonance and chiral transport of photon Fock states in a resonator junction with broken time-reversal symmetry. Depending on the qubit-photon interaction and photon-hopping amplitude, we find that the system can demonstrate different short-time dynamics.

Organized chaos : middle school home economics

description: Middle school learners in British Columbia are offered a variety of explorations or exploratory courses offered in modules. These modules fall under the Applied Skills, Design and Technology portion of the curriculum. Two of the modules suggested are Textiles and Food Studies, both of which fall under the home economics umbrella. The challenge I have found lies in how to connect and make sense of the 2016 BC Ministry of Education curriculum for Middle School Home Economics in a way that can be done in the short time frame allotted. My inquiry for this project lies in the pragmatic research paradigm. Through researching for years I have found few resources specifically tailored to middle school. As a result, I felt there was a gap that needed to be filled. In this graduating project have provided some insight and ideas for middle school HE teachers who need some assistance with what can be done realistically, within the constructs of the time frame and organization of the middle school exploratory model. Using a mixed methods approach I share my experiences, outline a day in the life of a middle school HE exploratory teacher and discuss the developmental characteristics of middle schoolers as well as middle school organization. I analyzed past and present curriculum for recommendations for teaching home economics in middle school. I created a website of resources for teachers who find themselves in this role. Finally, I reflect and conclude my experiences from my research.

description: A patient’s preference may guide their behavior and influence their willingness to take medication or undergo treatment affecting outcomes, such as health-related quality of life, or survival. The importance of understanding patient preferences within oncology is unclear and few adherence studies exist compared with other therapeutic areas. This study was designed to review the literature regarding patient preferences, adherence and their link to outcomes specifically in the oncology setting and to propose a theoretical model. An in-depth review was conducted, using Embase, MEDLINE and Cochrane Library databases to search for published data examining patient preference, adherence and oncology-specific outcomes, from 1982–2012. Articles were reviewed independently by two authors and rated for relevance and quality. Information from high-quality articles and discussion with oncology and patient preference experts were used to identify associations between important individual concepts as a basis for a theoretical model. In total, 1362 abstracts were identified. After removal of duplicates and initial review, 1269 were excluded and 93 reviewed in detail. Of these publications, 18 were deemed ‘high-quality’ and used to develop the final model. Variables associated with patient preference, adherence and outcome were identified. External variables included communication, treatment and mode of administration; patient beliefs and values were identified as cognitive variables; and adherence was attributed as a behavioral variable. Relationships between patient preference, adherence and clinical outcomes were established. Adverse events had a strong relationship with adherence; patient beliefs and values were identified as having a moderating effect on adherence. Adherence behavior had a direct relationship to outcomes. Improving our understanding of patient preference may improve clinical outcomes in oncology patients. Although the proposed theoretical model is limited, it provides a basis to develop testable hypotheses for the relationships between patient preference, adherence and outcomes specific to oncology.
ClimoBase: lessons learned while rescuing observational data from extinction

Year: 2014

description: ClimoBase is a dataset that includes approximately 7000 files of climate-related measurements collected over a 14-year period at sites in Churchill, Manitoba, Marantz Lake, Manitoba, and Inuvik, Northwest Territories. The original dataset was created in 1999 with an extraction program built in Fortran. In 2013, this valuable data is barely machine-readable and in dire need of rescue. This paper will describe the steps that were taken to rescue, migrate and preserve the unique observational data within ClimoBase for future use in climate science, and the many lessons that were learned in the process. It will address best practices for a data rescue workflow and the importance of preserving research datasets and their metadata.

description: To investigate the long term smoking cessation behaviors in a population of Japanese current smokers (CS) and former smokers (FS). Retrospective survey of Japanese men and women ≥20 years of age who were CS (those who smoked any number of cigarettes at the time of the survey, 24–27 June 2013) or FS (those who had smoked any number of cigarettes in the past but did not consider themselves smokers at the time of the survey). CS/FS were selected from a prescreened source population recruited by online advertisement that was age- and gender-matched, to represent Japanese smokers. Clinical and socio-demographic characteristics and smoking/smoking cessation history were assessed through a web-based questionnaire. Main outcome measures were number of past quit attempts and time to relapse; others included methods used to achieve smoking cessation, and reasons for wanting to quit. Overall, 1261 Japanese subjects were surveyed (CS, n = 631; FS, n = 630). Nearly half (45.6%) of CS had never attempted to quit smoking. Of those who had attempted to quit smoking, one single quit attempt was the most common for both CS and FS (19.0 vs. 39.0%). Estimated median time to relapse was 105 days (FS and CS combined). Unaided smoking cessation was the most common method both for CS and FS (78.2 vs. 63.4%). In our survey, >70% of smokers used unaided smoking cessation methods, which may have resulted in a lower success rate. Participants relapsed after a median of 105 days of abstinence (25% within 7 days; the remainder had resumed smoking after 1260 days). As with all surveys, recall bias may have influenced the results. Our observations could be combined with other data in health economic models of smoking cessation to identify appropriate measures to reduce the prevalence of smoking in Japan.

We find that the dominant effect is given by the contributions of the mass insertions deltaU_LL(32) and deltaU_RL(32) to the Wilson coefficient of the chromomagnetic operator. By considering both these contributions simultaneously, the CP asymmetry in B -> Phi K(S) process is significantly reduced and negative values, which are within the 1-sigma experimental range and satisfy the b -> s gamma constraints, can be obtained.

description: As a part of our continuous effort to find new therapeutic agents from natural sources, the hydroalcoholic (1:1) extract of Citrus maxima (Burm.) Merr. root was selected for the identification of possible antimalarial phytoconstituents. From the extract, three flavonoids including luteolin were isolated and evaluated for in vitro antimalarial activity against the chloroquine-sensitive (Pf3D7) and resistant (PfRKL-9) strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Among these, luteolin (CM3) showed the highest antimalarial activity with IC50 values of 2.315 ± 0.489 and 2.691 ± 0.454 µg/ml against the Pf3D7 and PfRKL-9 strains respectively. To assess the safety of luteolin (CM3), a cytotoxicity study against a normal human embryonic kidney cell line (HEK-293) was performed and the compound was found to be safe with a CC50 value of 222.3 ± 1.443 µg/ml. The docking study against 26 target proteins of P. falciparum revealed that luteolin (CM3) has a better binding affinity with two proteins, viz. P. falciparum lactate dehydrogenase (PfLDG) and P. falciparum enoyl-ACP reductase (PfEAR) in comparison to the co-crystallized ligands. Furthermore, the molecular dynamics simulation study of the protein-ligand complexes also supported the binding affinity and interactions of luteolin (CM3) at the active sites. Finally, the binding free energy calculation revealed that the luteolin formed a thermodynamically more stable complex with PfLDG (-50.955 ± 17.184 kJ/mol) than PfEAR (-24.856 ± 13.739 kJ/mol). Overall, in this study, we identified an antimalarial marker in the hydroalcoholic extract of C. maxima root which may act by inhibiting PfLDG.

description: An electric power distribution system is operated in several distinct radial topologies by opening and closing of system's sectionalizing and tie switches. The estimation of the system's current operational topology is a precursor to implementing any optimal control actions (during normal operation) or restorative actions (during outage condition). This paper presents a mathematical programming approach to estimate the operational topology of a three-phase unbalanced power distribution system under both outage and normal operating conditions. Specifically, a minimum weighted least absolute value estimator is proposed that uses the line flow measurements, historical/forecasted load data, and ping measurements and solves a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) to estimate the operational topology and any outaged sections simultaneously. We thoroughly validate the accuracy of the proposed approach using IEEE 123-bus and a 1069-bus three-phase multi-feeder test system with the help of numerous simulations. It is observed that the approach performs well even at high percentages of measurement errors.

description: The Enhancing and Enriching Historic Census Microdata (EEHCM) project is a joint project between the UK Data Archive, the Office for National Statistics (ONS), National Records of Scotland (NRS) and the Northern Ireland Statistics Research Agency (NISRA). The project consists of two phases; the first phase focusses on the restoration and preservation of the 1961, 1966, 1971 and 1981 census of Great Britain; the second phase will create public use and researcher samples for each census. This paper will outline the key issues on the restoration of the original data, first read from backup tapes earlier in the millennium and discuss the key issues surrounding the necessity for documentation in the successful recovery of historic data. It will also discuss the key lessons learned in both restoring files, and preserving and documenting current datasets for future use. The second part of the paper will explain what public use and researcher samples have been made available, and the principles behind their construction.

description: The 4D compact U(1) lattice gauge theory (LGT) in the confinement phase is studied with the multi-level algorithm. The static potential, force and flux-tube profile between two static charges are precisely measured from correlation functions involving the Polyakov loop. Universality of the coefficient of the 1/r correction to the static potential, known as the Luescher term, and the transversal width of the flux-tube profile are investigated.

Model-driven generation of artificial yeast promoters

description: Supplementary Data for "Model-driven generation of artificial yeast promoters" (Kotopka BJ, Smolke CD. Model-driven generation of artificial yeast promoters. Nat Commun. 2020;11(1):2113.) Abstract: Promoters play a central role in controlling gene regulation; however, a small set of promoters is used for most genetic construct design in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Generating and utilizing models that accurately predict protein expression from promoter sequences would enable rapid generation of useful promoters and facilitate synthetic biology efforts in this model organism. We measure the gene expression activity of over 675,000 sequences in a constitutive promoter library, and over 327,000 sequences in an inducible promoter library. Training an ensemble of convolutional neural networks jointly on the two datasets enables very high (R2 > 0.79) predictive accuracies on multiple sequence-activity prediction tasks. We describe model-guided design strategies which yield large, sequence-diverse sets of promoters exhibiting activities higher than those represented in training data and similar to current best-in-class sequences. Our results show the value of model-guided design as an approach for generating useful DNA parts.

Year: 2014

description: Open source geographic information systems (GIS) tools are maturing to the point of being viable for widespread use. QGIS is a desktop GIS system that is cross-platform, free, extensible and interoperates well with other GIS tools. Data services that support desktop GIS software packages are increasingly supporting QGIS, and ideas for promoting open source desktop GIS use and support will be discussed.In this workshop, participants will gain hands on experience with QGIS. Exercises will include working with vector and raster data, doing very basic spatial analysis, and producing maps. Participants will leave with resources for learning more QGIS. No previous GIS experience is required.

description: Confinement induced resonance (CIR) is a useful tool for the control of the interaction between ultracold atoms. In most cases the CIR occurs when the characteristic length atrap of the confinement is similar as the scattering length as of the two atoms in the free three-dimensional (3D) space. If there is a CIR which can occur with weak bare interaction, i.e., under the condition $a_{\rm{trap}}\gg a_s$, then it can be realized for much more systems, even without the help of a magnetic Feshbach resonance, and would be very useful. In a previous research by Massignan and Castin (Phys Rev A 74:013616, 2006), it was shown that it is possible to realize such a CIR in a quasi-(3+0)D system, where one ultracold atom is moving in the 3D space and another one is localized by a 3D harmonic trap. In this work we carefully investigate the properties of the CIRs in this system. We show that the CIR with $a_{\rm{trap}}\gg a_s$ can really occur, and the number of the CIRs of this type increases with the mass ratio between the moving and localized atoms. However, when $a_{\rm{trap}}\gg a_s$ the CIR becomes extremely narrow, and thus are difficult to be controlled in realistic experiments.
Exact scattering theory for any straight reflectors in two dimensions

Year: 2003

description: The exact Green function for the scalar wave equation in a plane with any set of perfectly reflecting straight mirrors, which may be joined to form corners, is given as a diffraction scattering series. Instances would be slit diffraction in optics, or the Schrodinger equation inside (or outside) a general polygonal enclosure ('quantum polygon billiards'). The method is based on the seminal 1896 Riemann helicoid surface solution by Sommerfeld for optical diffraction by a single corner. It is generalised to account for multiple scatter by adapting the analysis of Stovicek for a closely related problem: a collection of magnetic flux lines (points) in a plane, the multi-flux Aharonov-Bohm effect. The short wavelength limit is shown to yield the 'geometrical theory of diffraction'. For slit diffraction the exact series is shown to coincide with that of Schwarzschild in 1902.
