description: A variant of a gauge theory is formulated to describe disclinations on Riemannian surfaces that may change both the Gaussian (intrinsic) and mean (extrinsic) curvatures, which implies that both internal strains and a location of the surface in R^3 may vary. Besides, originally distributed disclinations are taken into account. For the flat surface, an extended variant of the Edelen-Kadic gauge theory is obtained. Within the linear scheme our model recovers the von Karman equations for membranes, with a disclination-induced source being generated by gauge fields. For a single disclination on an arbitrary elastic surface a covariant generalization of the von Karman equations is derived.

description: The two-dimensional free-boundary problem describing steady gravity waves with vorticity on water of finite depth is considered. Under the assumption that the vorticity is a negative constant whose absolute value is sufficiently large, we construct a solution with the following properties. The corresponding flow is unidirectional at infinity and has a solitary wave of elevation as its upper boundary; under this unidirectional flow, there is a bounded domain adjacent to the bottom, which surrounds an interior stagnation point and is divided into two subdomains with opposite directions of flow by a critical level curve connecting two stagnation points on the bottom.

The role of zero-clusters in exchange-driven growth with and without input

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The exchange-driven growth model describes the mean field kinetics of a population of composite particles (clusters) subject to pairwise exchange interactions. Exchange in this context means that upon interaction of two clusters, one loses a constituent unit (monomer) and the other gains this unit. Two variants of the exchange-driven growth model appear in applications. They differ in whether clusters of zero size are considered active or passive. In the active case, clusters of size zero can acquire a monomer from clusters of positive size. In the passive case they cannot, meaning that clusters reaching size zero are effectively removed from the system. The large time behaviour is very different for the two variants of the model. We first consider an isolated system. In the passive case, the cluster size distribution tends towards a self-similar evolution and the typical cluster size grows as a power of time. In the active case, we identify a broad class of kernels for which the the cluster size distribution tends to a non-trivial time-independent equilibrium in which the typical cluster size is finite. We next consider a non-isolated system in which monomers are input at a constant rate. In the passive case, the cluster size distribution again attains a self-similar profile in which the typical cluster size grows as a power of time. In the active case, a surprising new behavior is found: the cluster size distribution asymptotes to the same equilibrium profile found in the isolated case but with an amplitude that grows linearly in time.

description: We show that the method of separation of variables gives a natural generalisation of integral relations for classical special functions of one variable. The approach is illustrated by giving a new proof of the ``quadratic'' integral relations for the continuous q-ultraspherical polynomials. The separating integral operator M expressed in terms of the Askey-Wilson operator is studied in detail: apart from writing down the characteristic (``separation'') equations it satisfies, we find its spectrum, eigenfunctions, inversion, invariants (invariant q-difference operators), and give its interpretation as a fractional q-integration operator. We also give expansions of the A1 Macdonald polynomials into the eigenfunctions of the separating operator M and vice versa.

description: Abstract: Background: Epidemiological transition in high HIV-burden settings is resulting in a rise in HIV/NCD multimorbidity. The majority of NCD risk behaviours start during adolescence, making this an important target group for NCD prevention and multimorbidity prevention in adolescents with a chronic condition such as HIV. However, there is data paucity on NCD risk and prevention in adolescents with HIV in high HIV-burden settings. The aim of this study was to investigate the extent to which NCD comorbidity (prevention, diagnosis, and management) is incorporated within existing adolescent HIV primary healthcare services in Cape Town, South Africa. Methods: We reviewed medical records of 491 adolescents and youth living with HIV (AYLHIV) aged 10–24 years across nine primary care facilities in Cape Town from November 2018–March 2019. Folders were systematically sampled from a master list of all AYLHIV per facility and information on HIV management and care, NCDs, NCD risk and NCD-related health promotion extracted. Results: The median age was 20 years (IQR: 14–23); median age at ART initiation 18 years (IQR: 6–21) and median duration on ART 3 years (IQR: 1.1–8.9). Fifty five percent of participants had a documented comorbidity, of which 11% had an NCD diagnosis with chronic respiratory diseases (60%) and mental disorders (37%) most common. Of those with documented anthropometrics (62%), 48% were overweight or obese. Fifty nine percent of participants had a documented blood pressure, of which 27% were abnormal. Twenty-six percent had a documented health promoting intervention, 42% of which were NCD-related; ranging from alcohol or substance abuse (13%); smoking (9%); healthy weight or diet (9%) and mental health counselling (10%). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates limited NCD screening and health promotion in AYLHIV accessing healthcare services. Where documented, our data demonstrates existing NCD comorbidity and NCD risk factors highlighting a missed opportunity for multimorbidity prevention through NCD screening and health promotion. Addressing this missed opportunity requires an integrated health system and intersectoral action on upstream NCD determinants to turn the tide on the rising NCD and multimorbidity epidemic.

description: Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) has an attenuated effect on breast cancer (BC) risk amongst heavier women, but there are few data on a potential interaction with early adulthood body mass index (at age 20 years) and age of first pregnancy. We studied 56,489 women recruited to the PROCAS (Predicting Risk of Cancer at Screening) study in Manchester UK, 2009-15. Cox regression models estimated the effect of reported MHT use at entry on breast cancer (BC) risk, and potential interactions with a. self-reported current body mass index (BMI), b. BMI aged 20 and c. First pregnancy >30 years or nulliparity compared with first pregnancy 30 years. Analysis was adjusted for age, height, family history, age of menarche and menopause, menopausal status, oophorectomy, ethnicity, self-reported exercise and alcohol. With median follow up of 8 years, 1663 breast cancers occurred. BC risk was elevated amongst current users of combined MHT compared to never users (Hazard ratioHR 1.64, 95% CI 1.32–2.03), risk was higher than for oestrogen only users (HR 1.03, 95% CI 0.79–1.34). Risk of current MHT was attenuated by current BMI (interaction HR 0.80, 95% CI 0.65–0.99) per 5 unit increase in BMI. There was little evidence of an interaction between MHT use, breast cancer risk and early and current BMI or with age of first pregnancy.
Clay Bodies, Powerful Pots: On the Imagery and Ontology of Wari Faceneck Vessels

description: The faceneck vessel is a significant and prolific ceramic form in the visual culture of the Wari civilization, a powerful polity with formidable cultural influence during the Middle Horizon Period of Andean prehistory. Numerous large and elaborately modeled and painted examples have been unearthed from prominent Wari centers, and hundreds of smaller examples have been found in tombs or reside in collections without provenience. The faceneck form was produced in all epochs of the Middle Horizon and has been found at Wari sites across the entire region of Wari influence. Furthermore, this vessel type has antecedents that can be traced back to the second millennium B.C., was produced by various Middle Horizon societies, and continued to be produced after the collapse of the Wari Empire in A.D. 1000. Nevertheless, the faceneck vessel has never been at the center of any major study and little is known about the meaning or use of this elusive ceramic form. This study aims to shed light on the faceneck vessel in the context of Wari visual culture by bringing together more than 200 examples drawn from collections in Peru, the United States, and Europe. Through the formal analysis and stylistic comparison of facenecks from all over the Wari sphere of influence, this study looks closely at how the faceneck form may have functioned within an ancient Andean social network that included both human and non-human participants. Scholarship on ancient Andean visual culture has recently been undergoing an ontological turn as art historians, archaeologists, and anthropologists have been applying a localized ontological perspective to their interpretations of the material record. This study applies Andean perspectivism, an ontological viewpoint that considers the significance of feasting rituals and ancestor veneration within an animate world, to think through the potential for faceneck vessels to have participated as social agents in complex rituals involving valuable offerings and communion with the dead. Ultimately, I conclude that faceneck vessels, as anthropomorphized objects projecting a powerful sense of personhood, likely functioned as active participants in rituals involving the transfer of offerings between disparate parties. I argue that as full-bodied clay persons, faceneck vessels are well equipped to provide material bodies for the absent bodies of the recipients of offerings, such as disembodied ancestors. Serving as surrogate bodies, facenecks may have helped fulfill certain critical acts of reciprocity that were required by the Andean doctrine of ayni. This study brings attention to the prominent status of ceramics in the ancient Andes and calls for further study into how other uniquely Andean ceramic forms may have played similarly powerful roles in ritual activity.

description: Genetically identical plants growing in the same conditions can display heterogeneous phenotypes. Here we use Arabidopsis seed germination time as a model system to examine phenotypic variability and its underlying mechanisms. We show extensive variation in seed germination time variability between Arabidopsis accessions and use a multiparent recombinant inbred population to identify two genetic loci involved in this trait. Both loci include genes implicated in modulating abscisic acid (ABA) sensitivity. Mutually antagonistic regulation between ABA, which represses germination, and gibberellic acid (GA), which promotes germination, underlies the decision to germinate and can act as a bistable switch. A simple stochastic model of the ABA-GA network shows that modulating ABA sensitivity can generate the range of germination time distributions we observe experimentally. We validate the model by testing its predictions on the effects of exogenous hormone addition. Our work provides a foundation for understanding the mechanism and functional role of phenotypic variability in germination time.

description: Exposure to air pollution is a leading cause of premature death worldwide. An increasing part of air pollution results from industrial activity and the production of energy. When unregulated, emissions of air pollutants constitute a market failure as polluters do not bear the costs imposed on society at large. My dissertation develops empirical methods to test the effectiveness and distributional effects of environmental policies designed to address this externality. To do so, I apply econometrics and data science techniques on large datasets from cutting-edge research in environmental science and engineering that I match with microeconomic data. The dissertation makes use of new datasets on air pollution derived from satellite imagery, as well as micro-level data on power plant operations and housing transactions across the United States. Chapter 1 assembles unit-level data to disentangle the factors that led US power plants to achieve the unprecedented reductions in emissions of the past fifteen years. I calculate the costs incurred by the electricity generation sector and compare these costs to the correspond- ing health benefits. In hedonic regressions, I use these shocks to emissions to estimate the demand for clean air with micro-level data on housing transactions. Chapter 2 studies the causal impacts and evaluates the distributional effects of stringent emissions markets that were put in place to target power plants emissions of air pollutants in the Eastern US. Chapter 3 uses new satellite imagery to document the inequalities in the exposure to air pollution in American cities and their recent evolutions.

description: Abstract: Atmospheric retrievals of exoplanetary transmission spectra provide important constraints on various properties, such as chemical abundances, cloud/haze properties, and characteristic temperatures, at the day–night atmospheric terminator. To date, most spectra have been observed for giant exoplanets due to which retrievals typically assume hydrogen-rich atmospheres. However, recent observations of mini Neptunes/super-Earths, and the promise of upcoming facilities including the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), call for a new generation of retrievals that can address a wide range of atmospheric compositions and related complexities. Here we report Aurora, a next-generation atmospheric retrieval framework that builds upon state-of-the-art architectures and incorporates the following key advancements: (a) a generalized compositional retrieval allowing for H-rich and H-poor atmospheres, (b) a generalized prescription for inhomogeneous clouds/hazes, (c) multiple Bayesian inference algorithms for high-dimensional retrievals, (d) modular considerations for refraction, forward scattering, and Mie scattering, and (e) noise modeling functionalities. We demonstrate Aurora on current and/or synthetic observations of the hot Jupiter HD 209458 b, mini Neptune K2-18b, and rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 d. Using current HD 209458 b spectra, we demonstrate the robustness of our framework and cloud/haze prescription against assumptions of H-rich/H-poor atmospheres, improving on previous treatments. Using real and synthetic spectra of K2-18b, we demonstrate an agnostic approach to confidently constrain its bulk atmospheric composition and obtain precise abundance estimates. For TRAPPIST-1 d, 10 JWST-NIRSpec transits can enable identification of the main atmospheric component for cloud-free, CO2-rich, and N2-rich atmospheres and abundance constraints on trace gases, including initial indications of O3 if present at enhanced levels (∼10×–100× Earth levels).

description: We adapt a technique of Kisin to construct and study crystalline deformation rings of $G_K$ for a finite extension $K/\mathbb{Q}_p$. This is done by considering a moduli space of Breuil--Kisin modules, satisfying an additional Galois condition, over the universal deformation ring. For $K$ unramified over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and Hodge--Tate weights in $[0,p]$, we study the geometry of this space. As a consequence we prove that, under a mild cyclotomic-freeness assumption, all crystalline representations of an unramified extension of $\mathbb{Q}_p$, with Hodge--Tate weights in $[0,p]$, are potentially diagonalisable.

A sufficient condition for this to occur is given, and applied to the case of generalized Airy operators of arbitrary order $r>1$. As a result, the bispectrality of a large family of algebras of rank $r$ is demonstrated. An involution on these algebras is exhibited which exchanges the role of spatial and spectral parameters, generalizing Wilson's rank one bispectral involution. Spectral geometry and the relationship to the Sato grassmannian are discussed.

description: The internal spin structure of the Lambda is of special importance for the understanding of the spin structure of hadrons in general. The comparison between the nucleon and Lambda allows for a test of the relevant flavour-symmetry breaking effects. Using nonperturbatively O(a) improved Wilson fermions in the quenched approximation we have calculated the first moments of the unpolarised, longitudinally polarised and transversity quark distribution functions in the Lambda. The results indicate that flavour symmetry breaking has little effect on the internal spin structure, in accordance with model based expectations.

description: We apply one of the formalisms of noncommutative geometry to $R^N_q$, the quantum space covariant under the quantum group $SO_q(N)$. Over $R^N_q$ there are two $SO_q(N)$-covariant differential calculi. For each we find a frame, a metric and two torsion-free covariant derivatives which are metric compatible up to a conformal factor and which have a vanishing linear curvature. This generalizes results found in a previous article for the case of $R^3_q$. As in the case N=3, one has to slightly enlarge the algebra $R^N_q$; for N odd one needs only one new generator whereas for N even one needs two. As in the particular case N=3 there is a conformal ambiguity in the natural metrics on the differential calculi over $R^N_q$. While in our previous article the frame was found `by hand', here we disclose the crucial role of the quantum group covariance and exploit it in the construction. As an intermediate step, we find a homomorphism from the cross product of $R^N_q$ with $U_qso(N)$ into $R^N_q$, an interesting result in itself.

description: We investigate the combinatorial analogues, in the context of normal surfaces, of taut and transversely measured (codimension 1) foliations of 3-manifolds. We establish that the existence of certain combinatorial structures, a priori weaker than the existence of the corresponding foliation, is sufficient to guarantee that the manifold in question satisfies certain properties, e.g. irreducibility. The finiteness of our combinatorial structures allows us to make our results quantitative in nature and has (coarse) geometrical consequences for the manifold. Furthermore, our techniques give a straightforward combinatorial proof of Novikov's theorem.

description: In this work, for a finite group $G$ and a 4-cocycle $ω\in Z^4(G, \mathbf{k}^\times)$, we compute explicitly the center of the monoidal 2-category $\operatorname{2Vec}_G^ω$ of $ω$-twisted $G$-graded 1-categories of finite dimensional $\mathbf{k}$-vector spaces. This center gives a precise mathematical description of the topological defects in the associated 3+1D Dijkgraaf-Witten TQFT. We prove that this center is a braided monoidal 2-category with a trivial sylleptic center.

description: We recently developed ‘cellular’ reagents–lyophilized bacteria overexpressing proteins of interest–that can replace commercial pure enzymes in typical diagnostic and molecular biology reactions. To make cellular reagent technology widely accessible and amenable to local production with minimal instrumentation, we now report a significantly simplified method for preparing cellular reagents that requires only a common bacterial incubator to grow and subsequently dry enzyme-expressing bacteria at 37°C with the aid of inexpensive chemical desiccants. We demonstrate application of such dried cellular reagents in common molecular and synthetic biology processes, such as PCR, qPCR, reverse transcription, isothermal amplification, and Golden Gate DNA assembly, in building easy-to-use testing kits, and in rapid reagent production for meeting extraordinary diagnostic demands such as those being faced in the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Furthermore, we demonstrate feasibility of local production by successfully implementing this minimized procedure and preparing cellular reagents in several countries, including the United Kingdom, Cameroon, and Ghana. Our results demonstrate possibilities for readily scalable local and distributed reagent production, and further instantiate the opportunities available via synthetic biology in general.

description: We present a comparative study of two qualitative imaging methods in an acoustic waveguide with sound hard walls. The waveguide terminates at one end and contains unknown obstacles of compact support, to be determined from data gathered by an array of sensors that probe the obstacles with waves and measure the scattered response. The first imaging method, known as the factorization method, is based on the factorization of the far field operator. It is designed to image at single frequency and estimates the support of the obstacles by a Picard range criterion. The second imaging method, known as migration, works either with one or multiple frequencies. It forms an image by backpropagating the measured scattered wave to the search points, using the Green's function in the empty waveguide. We study the connection between these methods with analysis and numerical simulations.

description: Orthogonal polynomials and multiple orthogonal polynomials are interesting special functions because there is a beautiful theory for them, with many examples and useful applications in mathematical physics, numerical analysis, statistics and probability and many other disciplines. In these notes we give an introduction to the use of orthogonal polynomials in random matrix theory, we explain the notion of multiple orthogonal polynomials, and we show the link with certain non-linear difference and differential equations known as Painlevé equations.

description: Five cobalt(II) complexes based on 1H-indazole-3-carboxylic acid (H2L), [Co(phen)(HL)2]·2H2O (1), [Co(5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipy)(HL)2] (2), [Co(2,2′-bipy)2(HL)2]·5H2O (3), [Co2(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phen)2(L)2] (4) and [Co2(6,6′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipy)2(L)2]·H2O (5) (2,2'-bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline), have been synthesized and structurally characterized by elemental analyses, IR and UV-vis spectroscopies and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. The results indicate that 1–3 possess mononuclear Co(II) structures, while 4 and 5 exhibit binuclear structure. 1D water tape which is linked by the multiple hydrogen bonds was embedded in the 3D motif of complex 3. Complexes 4 and 5 show two orthogonal planes of motif that was constituted by phen/2,2′-bipy and indazole acid, respectively. The intermolecular interactions including hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking interactions are stabilizing these complexes. The interactions of the synthesized complexes with calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) have been investigated by UV-vis absorption titration, ethidium bromide displacement assay and viscosity measurements. The results reveal that the complexes could interact with CT-DNA via a groove binding mode. Their behavior rationalization was further theoretically studied by molecular docking.

description: Purpose: To report the feasibility and preliminary effects of a psychosocial care program entitled “coping-oriented supportive program” (COSP) for people with spinal cord injury (SCI) during inpatient rehabilitation. Methods: This was a pilot test of the COSP using a convenience sample of 22 participants with SCI (11 participants per group) with pre- and post-test, comparison group design. The feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of the COSP were examined. Results: Nine patients with SCI in the intervention group and 11 in the comparison group who completed five or more sessions of the intervention were included in the data analysis. The COSP was feasible with high levels of recruitment, retention and protocol adherence. Good acceptability was suggested by the participants’ feedback on the intervention program. The intervention group had a statistically significant greater improvement in self-efficacy (z = –1.978, p = 0.048), life enjoyment and satisfaction (z = –2.801, p = 0.005), and satisfaction of social support (z = –2.298, p = 0.022) at post-test, when compared to the comparison group. Whereas, no significant improvement was found for coping. Conclusions: Our findings support the feasibility and acceptability of the COSP, and suggest that this intervention is a promising psychosocial care program to enhance people’s life satisfaction and well-being as well as the satisfaction of social support after SCI. Further testing of this program with a larger-sized and diverse sample of people with SCI is needed.Implications for RehabilitationThe Chinese culturally-sensitive psychosocial care program (coping-oriented supportive program) is feasible, and has the potential to enhance people’s self-efficacy in coping with spinal cord injury, and improve their psychosocial well-being and life satisfaction.The conventional inpatient spinal cord injury rehabilitation services could be improved by providing this “first-line” psychosocial care program in line with the current medical rehabilitation service.

description: We consider the so-called simplest correlation function of four infinitely heavy half-BPS operators in planar N=4 SYM in the limit when the operators are light-like separated in a sequential manner. We find a closed-form expression for the correlation function in this limit as a function of the 't Hooft coupling and residual cross ratios. Our analysis heavily relies on the factorization of the correlation function into the product of null octagons and on the recently established determinant representation for the latter. We show that the null octagon is given by a Fredholm determinant of a certain integral operator which has a striking similarity to those previously encountered in the study of two-point correlation functions in exactly solvable models at finite temperature and of level spacing distributions for random matrices. This allows us to compute the null octagon exactly by employing a method of differential equations.

description: We report the first investigation of the QCD transition temperature, T_c, for two flavours of staggered quarks with unequal masses at lattice spacings of 1/4T. On changing the u/d quark mass ratio in such a way that m(pi_0)^2/m(pi_+)^2 changes from 1 to 0.78, thus bracketing the physical value of this ratio, we find that T_c remains unchanged in units of both m_rho and Lambda_MSbar.

description: A notion of rational Baker-Akhiezer (BA) function related to a configuration of hyperplanes in C^n is introduced. It is proved that BA function exists only for very special configurations (locus configurations), which satisfy certain overdetermined algebraic system. The BA functions satisfy some algebraically integrable Schrodinger equations, so any locus configuration determines such an equation. Some results towards the classification of all locus configurations are presented. This theory is applied to the famous Hadamard's problem of description of all hyperbolic equations satisfying Huygens' Principle. We show that in a certain class all such equations are related to locus configurations and the corresponding fundamental solutions can be constructed explicitly from the BA functions.

description: A hyperbolic lattice is called \textit{$(1{,}2)$-reflective} if its automorphism group is generated by $1$- and $2$-reflections up to finite index. In this paper we prove that the fundamental polyhedron of a $\mathbb{Q}$-arithmetic cocompact reflection group in the three-dimensional Lobachevsky space contains an edge such that the distance between its framing faces is small enough. Using this fact we obtain a classification of $(1{,}2)$-reflective anisotropic hyperbolic lattices of rank $4$.
