description: Quantum mechanics is a fundamental field of physics that examines the behavior ofmicroscopic particles such as electrons and photons. With the rapid advancement of machinelearning (ML) technologies, there are significant opportunities to enhance quantum modelsand improve predictive accuracy. This study explores the application of machine learning topredict particle positions based on energy and velocity data, and to identify the type ofparticle (electron or photon) based on energy measurements.In this research, a linear regression model was developed to predict three-dimensionalparticle positions (x, y, z) from quantum mechanics data. The data was carefully prepared,including splitting into training and testing sets. The model's performance was evaluatedusing metrics such as Mean Squared Error (MSE) and R-squared (R²) to assess predictionaccuracy.Results indicate that the model provides high accuracy in predicting particle positions, withpredictions aligning closely with experimental data due to machine learning enhancements.Additionally, the model successfully identifies particle types based on energy with highaccuracy, presenting a robust tool for quantum data analysis.This study contributes significantly by integrating machine learning with quantummechanics, improving the precision of quantum models and expanding their application.Future research should explore advanced ML techniques on larger datasets and developmodels capable of handling various particles and quantum conditions, including potentialapplications in advanced quantum research and new measurement technologie

description: We introduce shaken lattice interferometry with atoms trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice. By phase modulating (shaking) the lattice, we control the momentum state of the atoms. Through a sequence of shaking functions, the atoms undergo an interferometer sequence of splitting, propagation, reflection, reverse propagation, and recombination. Each shaking function in the sequence is optimized with a genetic algorithm to achieve the desired momentum state transitions. As with conventional atom interferometers, the sensitivity of the shaken lattice interferometer increases with interrogation time. The shaken lattice interferometer may also be optimized to sense signals of interest while rejecting others, such as the measurement of an AC inertial signal in the presence of an unwanted DC signal.

description: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram-negative bacillus that causes wide spectrum clinical infections. However, it is most frequently associated with hospital-acquired infection. In this case a 58-year-old male with underlying hypertension and dyslipidaemia was admitted for acute right leg cellulitis. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified from the case, though it was not a usual suspected organism. It might be due to community-acquired infection.

description: Die Arbeit beschreibt die Synthese naturstoffabgeleiteter Verbindungen am polymeren Träger und Palladium-katalysierte Kreuzkupplungsreaktionen an Peptiden und Proteinen. Naturstoffe mit einer α,β-ungesättigten -Lakton-Einheit weisen eine Vielzahl biologischer Ak-ti--vitäten auf, z.B. Phosphatase-Inhibtion, Cytotoxizität gegen Krebszellen oder Modulation des Cytoskeletts. Diese Eigenschaften machen Verbindungen dieses Typs zum Aus-gangs-punkt für die naturstoffabgeleitete Synthese. In einem Ansatz konnten die Zielverbindungen ausgehend von einfachen, polymer-gebundenen Aldehyden durch iterativen Einsatz des Brownschen Allylborans und einer ab-schlie-ßenden Ringschlussmetathese in hoher Enantio- und Diastereoselektivität erhalten werden. Auf diese Weise ließ sich die in Naturstoffen häufig angetroffene 1,3-Diol-Untereinheit stereochemisch variabel an der festen Phase synthetisieren. Der beschriebene Weg bewährte sich in der Synthese aller Diastereomere von Naturstoffgrundgerüsten wie z.B. Cryptocarya Diacetat. Die Zielverbindungen konnten nach bis zu 14 Stufen am polymeren Träger nach einem Aufreinigungsschritt erhalten werden. Ein zweiter Weg zu Verbindungen mit einer α,β-ungesättigten -Lakton-Einheit beruht auf ei-ner enantioselektiven oxa-Diels-Alder-Reaktion von polymergebundenen Dienen mit Gly-oxal-säureethylester. Diese Reaktion wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit ausgiebig untersucht, besonders im Hinblick auf Katalysatoren, die auf Kupfer(II)-haltigen Lewis-Säuren basierten. Im zweiten Teil der Arbeit wurde die Möglichkeit untersucht, Palladium-katalysierte Kreuz-kupplung-sreaktionen an Proteinen mit geeigneten funktionellen Gruppen durchzuführen. Am Bei-spiel der Sonogashira-Reaktion konnte gezeigt werden, dass Übergangsmetall-Katalyse unter wässrig-neutralen Bedingungen an peptidischen Substraten möglich ist. Der Transfer der Reaktionsbedingungen auf vollständige Proteine, die mit einem Aryliodid funktionalisiert worden waren, erbrachte jedoch die gewünschten Produkte nur in geringer Ausbeute.

description: We consider the application of relative self-calibration using overlap regions to spectroscopic galaxy surveys that use slit-less spectroscopy. This method is based on that developed for the SDSS by Padmanabhan at al. (2008) in that we consider jointly fitting and marginalising over calibrator brightness, rather than treating these as free parameters. However, we separate the calibration of the detector-to-detector from the full-focal-plane exposure-to-exposure calibration. To demonstrate how the calibration procedure will work, we simulate the procedure for a potential implementation of the spectroscopic component of the wide Euclid survey. We study the change of coverage and the determination of relative multiplicative errors in flux measurements for different dithering configurations. We use the new method to study the case where the flat-field across each exposure or detector is measured precisely and only exposure-to-exposure or detector-to-detector variation in the flux error remains. We consider several base dither patterns and find that they strongly influence the ability to calibrate, using this methodology. To enable self-calibration, it is important that the survey strategy connects different observations with at least a minimum amount of overlap, and we propose an "S"-pattern for dithering that fulfills this requirement. The final survey strategy adopted by Euclid will have to optimise for a number of different science goals and requirements. The large-scale calibration of the spectroscopic galaxy survey is clearly cosmologically crucial, but is not the only one.

Polarizers, optical bridges and Sagnac interferometers for nanoradian polarization rotation measurements

description: The ability to measure nanoradian polarization rotations, $θ_F$, in the photon shot noise limit is investigated for partially crossed polarizers (PCP), a static Sagnac interferometer and an optical bridge, each of which can in principal be used in this limit with near equivalent figures-of-merit (FOM). In practice a bridge to PCP/Sagnac source noise rejection ratio of $1/4θ_F^2$ enables the bridge to operate in the photon shot noise limit even at high light intensities. The superior performance of the bridge is illustrated via the measurement of a 3 nrad rotation arising from an axial magnetic field of 0.9 nT applied to a terbium gallium garnet. While the Sagnac is functionally equivalent to the PCP in terms of the FOM, unlike the PCP it is able to discriminate between rotations with different time ($T$) and parity ($P$) symmetries. The Sagnac geometry implemented here is similar to that used elsewhere to detect non-reciprocal ($\overline{T}P$) rotations like those due to the Faraday effect. Using a Jones matrix approach, novel Sagnac geometries uniquely sensitive to non-reciprocal $\overline{TP}$ (e.g. magneto-electric or magneto-chiral) rotations, as well as to reciprocal rotations (e.g. due to linear birefringence, $TP$, or to chirality, $T\overline{P}$) are proposed.

description: Stigma and discrimination have a profound psychological and societal impact on individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their communities. This research offers an in-depth exploration of these challenges, drawing insights from a vast array of sources, such as articles, books, films, documentaries, websites, reports, resolutions, and famous stories. In order to provide valuable insights into building resilience and fostering supportive environments, the study simultaneously examines the coping mechanisms and strategies employed by the infected, as depicted in the literature used therein. The example of Miha, a young woman who faced societal biases despite her achievements, serves as a poignant reminder of the many sad narratives behind the statistics. This paper ultimately emphasizes the urgent need for continued efforts in awareness, education, and advocacy of combating HIV/AIDS-related stigma and discrimination, and culminates in a call for collective action, empathy, and a shared vision of an inclusive world.

description: Reproducibility package for "Machine Learning Classification of Price Extrema Based on Market Microstructure and Price Action Features. A Case Study of S&P500 E-mini Futures." paper. Abstract The study introduces an automated trading system for S&P500 E-mini futures (ES) based on state-of-the-art machine learning. Concretely: we extract a set of scenarios from the tick market data to train the models and further use the predictions to statistically assess the soundness of the approach.
 We define the scenarios from the local extrema of the price action. Price extrema is a commonly traded pattern, however, to the best of our knowledge, there is no study presenting a pipeline for automated classification and profitability evaluation. Additionally, we evaluate the approach in the simulated trading environment on the historical data. Our study is filling this gap by presenting a broad evaluation of the approach supported by statistical tools which make it generalisable to unseen data and comparable to other approaches.

Depinning and heterogeneous dynamics of colloidal crystal layers under shear flow

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Using Brownian dynamics (BD) simulations and an analytical approach we investigate the shear-induced, nonequilibrium dynamics of dense colloidal suspensions confined to a narrow slit-pore. Focusing on situations where the colloids arrange in well-defined layers with solidlike in-plane structure, the confined films display complex, nonlinear behavior such as collective depinning and local transport via density excitations. These phenomena are reminiscent of colloidal monolayers driven over a periodic substrate potential. In order to deepen this connection, we present an effective model which maps the dynamics of the shear-driven colloidal layers to the motion of a single particle driven over an effective substrate potential. This model allows to estimate the critical shear rate of the depinning transition based on the equilibrium configuration, revealing the impact of important parameters such as the slit-pore width and the interaction strength. We then turn to heterogeneous systems where a layer of small colloids is sheared with respect to bottom layers of large particles. For these incommensurate systems we find that the particle transport is dominated by density excitations resembling the so-called "kink" solutions of the Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) model. In contrast to the FK model, however, the corresponding "antikinks" do not move.

description: A city is a whole, as are all cities in a country. Within a whole, individual cities possess different degrees of wholeness, defined by Christopher Alexander as a life-giving order or simply a living structure. To characterize the wholeness and in particular to advocate for wholeness as an effective design principle, this paper develops a geographic representation that views cities as a whole. This geographic representation is topology-oriented, so fundamentally differs from existing geometry-based geographic representations. With the topological representation, all cities are abstracted as individual points and put into different hierarchical levels, according to their sizes and based on head/tail breaks - a classification scheme and visualization tool for data with a heavy tailed distribution. These points of different hierarchical levels are respectively used to create Thiessen polygons. Based on polygon-polygon relationships, we set up a complex network. In this network, small polygons point to adjacent large polygons at the same hierarchical level and contained polygons point to containing polygons across two consecutive hierarchical levels. We computed the degrees of wholeness for individual cities, and subsequently found that the degrees of wholeness possess both properties of differentiation and adaptation. To demonstrate, we developed four case studies of all China and UK natural cities, as well as Beijing and London natural cities, using massive amounts of street nodes and Tweet locations. The topological representation and the kind of topological analysis in general can be applied to any design or pattern, such as carpets, Baroque architecture and artifacts, and fractals in order to assess their beauty, echoing the introductory quote from Christopher Alexander.

The experience of power could facilitate healthy food consumption

Subjects: psychological power

description: Despite the many negative consequences of unhealthy eating, many people nevertheless give in to temptations in the form of unhealthy snacks and fail to consume healthy foods. Following the social distance theory of power, we argue that power plays an important role in prioritizing healthy-eating. Indeed, four studies showed that individuals’ sense of power was linked to them placing more importance on eating healthily and indirectly affected their willingness to pay for healthy and unhealthy food in line with their goal to eat healthily. Furthermore, this effect was evident in individuals who experienced greater power across different life situations, and less so among individuals in which the experience of power was situationally evoked. Our results contribute to a recent theoretical debate in the power literature about the role of power in goal pursuit and suggest that in the context of food consumption, superordinate goals are prioritized over immediate rewards.

Using a framework similar to that of Krumholz and Thompson (2007), we model emission for a set of common extragalactic lines from lognormal and power law density distributions. We consider the median density of gas producing emission and the ability to predict density variations from observed line ratios. We emphasize line ratio variations, because these do not require knowing the absolute abundance of our tracers. Patterns of line ratio variations have the prospect to illuminate the high-end shape of the density distribution, and to capture changes in the dense gas fraction and median volume density. Our results with and without a high density power law tail differ appreciably; we highlight better knowledge of the PDF shape as an important area. We also show the implications of sub-beam density distributions for isotopologue studies targeting dense gas tracers. Differential excitation often implies a significant correction to the naive case. We provide tabulated versions of many of our results, which can be used to interpret changes in mm-wave line ratios in terms of changes in the underlying density distributions.

description: We consider generic pure $n$-qubit states and a general class of pure states of arbitrary dimensions and arbitrarily many subsystems. We characterize those states which can be reached from some other state via Local Operations assisted by finitely many rounds of Classical Communication ($LOCC_{\mathbb{N}}$). For $n$ qubits with $n>3$ we show that this set of states is of measure zero, which implies that the maximally entangled set is generically of full measure if restricted to the practical scenario of $LOCC_{\mathbb{N}}$. Moreover, we identify a class of states for which any $LOCC_{\mathbb{N}}$ protocol can be realized via a concatenation of deterministic steps. We show, however, that in general there exist state transformations which require a probabilistic step within the protocol, which highlights the difference between bipartite and multipartite LOCC.

description: aB-crystallin, a major small heat shock protein, has recently been shown to exert inhibitory effects on apoptosis, while the responsible mechanisms remain largely unknown. In the present study, we discovered that aB-crystallin protected mouse myoblast C2C12 cells against oxidative stress-induced apoptosis. During hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptosis, aBcrystallin showed that it decreased the redistribution level of phosphatidylserine (PS), reduced the release of cytochrome C and Smac/Diablo from mitochondria into cytoplasm, and decreased the cleavage of Bid. Interestingly, immunoprecipitation experiments with anti-aBcrystallin and anti-myc-tag antibodies demonstrated respectively an interaction between aBcrystallin and p53 during hydrogen peroxide induced apoptosis. Both the NH2-terminal and COOH-terminal regions of aB-crystallin could interact with p53, suggesting two domains of aB-crystallin are necessary for the interaction. Electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) and luciferase assay further demonstrated that aB-crystallin inhibited the upregulation of the DNA-binding, as well as the transactivation activity of p53 induced by hydrogen peroxide. Our results show that aB-crystallin has a protective role in oxidative stress induced apoptosis by interference with the mitochondrial death pathway.

description: We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of integers $\leq x$ which can be written as the product of $k ~(\geq 2)$ distinct primes $p_1\cdots p_k$ with each prime factor in an arithmetic progression $p_j\equiv a_j \bmod q$, $(a_j, q)=1$ $(q \geq 3, 1\leq j\leq k)$. For any $A>0$, our result is uniform for $2\leq k\leq A\log\log x$. Moreover, we show that, there are large biases toward certain arithmetic progressions $(a_1 \bmod q, \cdots, a_k \bmod q)$, and such biases have connections with Mertens' theorem and the least prime in arithmetic progressions.

description: Phosphodiesterase (PDE) IV inhibitors have been shown to inhibit various inflammatory reactions in pulmonary diseases such as bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive lung diseases (COPD). However, there have been no studies evaluating the effect of PDE IV inhibitors on airway fibrosis, which is a critical feature of airway remodeling in asthma and COPD. We therefore examined whether ONO-EF-345 (ONO), a PDE IV inhibitor, affected the function of lung fibroblasts. ONO suppressed TGF-ß-induced type I collagen (COL1) mRNA expression in lung fibroblasts and also inhibited TGF-ß-induced a- smooth muscle actin (SMA) protein expression. ONO did not affect Smad2 phosphorylation or Smad7 expression. However, ONO reduced JNK and p38 activation, which regulates TGF-ß-induced COL1 expression. These results indicate that PDE IV inhibitors exert anti-fibrotic effects through the JNK and/or p38 pathways.

Adaptive broadening to improve spectral resolution in the numerical renormalization group

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose an adaptive scheme of broadening the discrete spectral data from numerical renormalization group (NRG) calculations to improve the resolution of dynamical properties at finite energies. While the conventional scheme overbroadens narrow features at large frequency by broadening discrete weights with constant width in log-frequency, our scheme broadens each discrete contribution individually based on its sensitivity to a z-shift in the logarithmic discretization intervals. We demonstrate that the adaptive broadening better resolves various features in non-interacting and interacting models at comparable computational cost. The resolution enhancement is more significant for coarser discretization as typically required in multi-band calculations. At low frequency below the energy scale of temperature, the discrete NRG data necessarily needs to be broadened on a linear scale. Here we provide a method that minimizes transition artefacts in between these broadening kernels.

An epidemic model for cholera with optimal control treatment

description: We propose a mathematical model for cholera with treatment through quarantine. The model is shown to be both epidemiologically and mathematically well posed. In particular, we prove that all solutions of the model are positive and bounded; and that every solution with initial conditions in a certain meaningful set remains in that set for all time. The existence of unique disease-free and endemic equilibrium points is proved and the basic reproduction number is computed. Then, we study the local asymptotic stability of these equilibrium points. An optimal control problem is proposed and analyzed, whose goal is to obtain a successful treatment through quarantine. We provide the optimal quarantine strategy for the minimization of the number of infectious individuals and bacteria concentration, as well as the costs associated with the quarantine. Finally, a numerical simulation of the cholera outbreak in the Department of Artibonite (Haiti), in 2010, is carried out, illustrating the usefulness of the model and its analysis.

The Kinetic and Dynamic Regulation of Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) Family Receptors

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: classificationCode: 321499
subject: Pharmacology and pharmaceutical sciences not elsewhere classified

description: Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptors (R) are G protein coupled receptors that communicate information across the cell membrane to mediate physiological functions. CGRP family receptors are an important class of receptor; involved in migraine, cardiovascular diseases and inflammation, and consist of two proteins, a receptor activity modifying protein (RAMP) and a GPCR (CLR). However, few drugs are approved to act at the CGRP family receptors. These receptors are dynamic and to understand how they work, we need to be able to visualise these dynamics and how that relates to cellular signalling. The project combines multidisciplinary approaches to mechanistic understanding of how RAMPs and CGRP family agonists modulate CLR to fine-tune cellular responses.
