The longest edge of the one-dimensional soft random geometric graph with boundaries

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The object of study is a soft random geometric graph with vertices given by a Poisson point process on a line and edges between vertices present with probability that has a polynomial decay in the distance between them. Various aspects of such models related to connectivity structures have been studied extensively. In this paper we study the random graph from the perspective of extreme value theory and focus on the occurrence of single long edges. The model we investigate has non-periodic boundary and is parameterized by a positive constant $α$, which is the power for the polynomial decay of the probabilities determining the presence of an edge. As a main result we provide a precise description of the magnitude of the longest edge in terms of asymptotic behavior in distribution. Thereby we illustrate a crucial dependence on the power $α$ and we recover a phase transition which coincides with exactly the same phases in [2].
Rotational ratchets with dipolar interactions

description: We report results from a computer simulation study on the rotational ratchet effect in systems of magnetic particles interacting via dipolar interactions. The ratchet effect consists of directed rotations of the particles in an oscillating magnetic field, which lacks a net rotating component. Our investigations are based on Brownian dynamics simulations of such many-particle systems. We investigate the influence of both, the random and deterministic contributions to the equations of motion on the ratchet effect. As a main result, we show that dipolar interactions can have an enhancing as well as a dampening effect on the ratchet behavior depending on the dipolar coupling strength of the system under consideration. The enhancement is shown to be caused by an increase in the effective field on a particle generated by neighboring magnetic particles, while the dampening is due to restricted rotational motion in the effective field. Moreover, we find a non-trivial influence of the short-range, repulsive interaction between the particles.

Why Musical Groove Makes Us Move: An Electroencephalographic Investigation
Creators: name: O'connell, Samantha Reina
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Moving to the groove of the music is a phenomenal and universal human behavior. Common characteristics to most dance music include a salient beat, rhythmic complexity, and a dynamic musical structure. What is unknown, however, is why music has the power to promote physical movement. Musical rhythm and motor processing are tightly linked activating brain areas important for motor preparation and execution. While studies demonstrate that the motor system is active during beat processing, it is still unclear how musical groove, a beat-influenced quality to music that makes us want to move, can engage these motor areas. Here, I performed a novel investigation to understand how high-groove music can enhance sensorimotor processing. In contrast to previous work that utilized transcranial magnetic stimulation, I used electroencephalography to measure motor-related neural activity on a fine temporal scale during continuous music listening. Specifically, I measured the lateralized readiness potential, an event-related potential related to motor activation and response execution. I predicted that music with high amounts of groove would promote sustained motor area engagement. Particularly, I hypothesized that high-groove music, as defined by Janata et al. (2012), would promote greater motor system priming than low-groove music, noise, or silence, resulting in faster neural activation during both response preparation and execution. Furthermore, I anticipated that neural measures would correlate with subjective music ratings, with earlier onsets and greater amplitudes of neural motor activity relating to higher musical groove scores.

Managing the Three-Party Entanglement Challenge

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce the challenges of multi-party quantum entanglement and explain a recent success in learning to take its measure. Given the widely accepted reputation of entanglement as a counter-intuitive feature of quantum theory, we first describe pure-state entanglement itself. We restrict attention to multi-party qubit states. Then we introduce the features that have made it challenging for several decades to extend an entanglement measure beyond the 2-qubit case of Bell states. We finish with a description of the current understanding that solves the 3-qubit entanglement challenge. This necessarily takes into account the fundamental division of the 3-qubit state space into two completely independent sectors identified with the so-called GHZ and $W$ states.

We found that quasinormal modes are purely imaginary for all dimensions.

The latter negative result follows from a local property of probability density functions. Moreover, we show that the Gaussian, ultraspherical and many of Student t-distributions have free divisibility indicator 1.

description: The current study investigates the factor structure of the Conners' Continuous Performance Test-II (CPT-II) in four pediatric samples of participants: (a) patients with traumatic brain injury, (b) healthy controls, (c) patients with various clinical diagnoses, and (d) all of the previously mentioned subjects combined. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were used to investigate a one-, three- and four-factor model fit of the data. None of the models examined were an adequate fit for the data; however, it appears that the four-factor model seemed to be the best fitting of the models examined. Failure to find reasonably adequate fit precluded further analyses.

description: We demonstrate a cryogenic optomechanical system comprising a flexible Si3N4 membrane placed at the center of a free-space optical cavity in a 400 mK cryogenic environment. We observe a mechanical quality factor Q > 4 x 10^6 for the 261-kHz fundamental drum-head mode of the membrane, and a cavity resonance halfwidth of 60 kHz. The optomechanical system therefore operates in the resolved sideband limit. We monitor the membrane's thermal motion using a heterodyne optical circuit capable of simultaneously measuring both of the mechanical sidebands, and find that the observed optical spring and damping quantitatively agree with theory. The mechanical sidebands exhibit a Fano lineshape, and to explain this we develop a theory describing heterodyne measurements in the presence of correlated classical laser noise. Finally, we discuss the use of a passive filter cavity to remove classical laser noise, and consider the future requirements for laser cooling this relatively large and low-frequency mechanical element to very near its quantum mechanical ground state.

Despite their proximity to the surface, doped NV centers with depths (d) ranging from 5 - 100 nm display long spin coherence times, T2 > 100 \mus at d = 5 nm and T2 > 600 \mus at d \geq 50 nm. The consistently long spin coherence observed in such shallow NV centers enables applications such as atomic-scale external spin sensing and hybrid quantum architectures.

title: Ocean Acidification Affects Larval Swimming in Ostrea lurida but not Crassostrea gigas
Creators: name: Buckham, Shannon
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2015

description:
The effects of ocean acidification (OA), which results from increased CO2 emissions, are of particular concern for calcifying marine organisms. In marine invertebrates, the larval stages are generally considered the most vulnerable to the effects of OA and many recent studies show negative impacts of OA on early developmental stages of calcifying marine invertebrates. I studied the impact of OA on larval swimming performance and behavior in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, and the Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida. Swimming studies can be used to understand how short-term performance and behavior changes may affect the long-term success of populations. In this study, digital larval tracking was used to test for changes in swimming performance and behavior in larvae reared at pCO2 levels of 400, 800, and 1200 ppm. Experiments were run on hatchery-bred larvae from the beginning of the larval period to the pediveliger stage. Morphological and energetic changes were analyzed to determine if they corresponded to swimming performance and behavior differences between pCO2 treatments. Results showed few swimming performance changes in C. gigas larvae and no changes in swimming behavior, suggesting that transport will not be affected by OA in this species. However, C. gigas was affected morphologically and energetically by OA. O. lurida increased swimming speeds in response to increased pCO2 levels, but vertical displacement velocity did not change. O. lurida also increased helical pitch and energy allocated to swimming in response to OA, but did not show any morphological changes. Swimming performance and behavior changes observed in O. lurida suggest that OA could affect larval transport and connectivity in this species, ultimately affecting the success of later developmental stages.

description: There is a generalized oscillator algebra associated with every class of orthogonal polynomials $\{Ψ_n(x)\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, on the real line, satisfying a three term recurrence relation $xΨ_n(x)=b_nΨ_{n+1}(x)+b_{n-1}Ψ_{n-1}(x), Ψ_0(x)=1, b_{-1}=0$. This note presents necessary and safficient conditions on $b_n$ for such algebras to be of finite dimension. As examples, we discuss the dimensions of oscillator algebras associated with Hermite, Legendre and Gegenbauer polynomials. In addition we shall also discuss the dimensions of some generalized deformed oscillator algebras. Some remarks on the dimensions of oscillator algebras associated with multi-boson systems are also presented.

description: Due to their unique electrical properties, graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) show great promise as the building blocks of novel electronic devices. However, these properties are strongly dependent on the geometry of the edges of the graphene devices. Thus far only zigzag and armchair edges have been extensively studied. However, several other self passivating edge reconstructions are possible, and were experimentally observed. Here we utilize the Nonequilibrium Green's Function (NEGF) technique in conjunction with tight binding methods to model quantum transport through armchair, zigzag, and several other self-passivated edge reconstructions. In addition we consider the experimentally relevant cases of mixed edges, where random combinations of possible terminations exist on a given GNR boundary. We find that transport through GNR's with self-passivating edge reconstructions is governed by the sublattice structure of the edges, in a manner similar to their parent zigzag or armchair configurations. Furthermore, we find that the reconstructed armchair GNR's have a larger band gap energy than pristine armchair edges and are more robust against edge disorder. These results offer novel insights into the transport in GNRs with realistic edges and are thus of paramount importance in the development of GNR based devices.

description: From the first-principles calculations, we have studied the electronic and magnetic structures of compound Na$_2$Ti$_2$Pn$_2$O (Pn = As or Sb). We find that in the ground state Na$_2$Ti$_2$As$_2$O is a blocked checkerboard antiferromagnetic semiconductor with a small band gap of about 0.15 eV, in contrast, Na$_2$Ti$_2$Sb$_2$O is a bi-collinear antiferromagnetic semimetal, both with a small moment of about 0.5$μ_B$ around each Ti atom. We show that there is a strong Fermi surface nesting in Na$_2$Ti$_2$Pn$_2$O. And we verify that the blocked checkerboard and bi-collinear antiferromagnetic states both are the spin density waves induced by the Fermi surface nesting. A tetramer structural distortion is found in company with the formation of a blocked checkerboard antiferromagnetic order, in good agreement with the experimentally observed commensurate structural distortion but with space group symmetry retained after the anomaly happening. Further analysis and discussion in connection with experimental observations are given as well.

description: Demand outstrips available resources in most situations, which gives rise to competition, interaction and learning. In this article, we review a broad spectrum of multi-agent models of competition (El Farol Bar problem, Minority Game, Kolkata Paise Restaurant problem, Stable marriage problem, Parking space problem and others) and the methods used to understand them analytically. We emphasize the power of concepts and tools from statistical mechanics to understand and explain fully collective phenomena such as phase transitions and long memory, and the mapping between agent heterogeneity and physical disorder. As these methods can be applied to any large-scale model of competitive resource allocation made up of heterogeneous adaptive agent with non-linear interaction, they provide a prospective unifying paradigm for many scientific disciplines.

description: The sample-function regularity of the random-field solution to a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) depends naturally on the roughness of the external noise, as well as on the properties of the underlying integro-differential operator that is used to define the equation. In this paper, we consider parabolic and hyperbolic SPDEs on $0,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}^d$ of the form $\partial_t u = L u + g(u) + \dot{F} \qquad\text{and}\qquad \partial^2_t u = L u + c + \dot{F}, $ with suitable initial data, forced with a space-time homogeneous Gaussian noise $\dot{F}$ that is white in its time variable and correlated in its space variable, and driven by the generator $L$ of a genuinely $d$-dimensional Lévy process $X$. We find optimal Hölder conditions for the respective random-field solutions to these SPDEs. Our conditions are stated in terms of indices that describe thresholds on the integrability of some functionals of the characteristic exponent of the process $X$ with respect to the spectral measure of the spatial covariance of $\dot F$. Those indices are suggested by references [45, 46] on the particular case that $L$ is the Laplace operator on $\mathbb{R}^d$.

description: Blockchain technologies have drawn massive attention to the world these past few years mostly because of the burst of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Etherium, Ripple and many others. A Blockchain, also known as distributed ledger technology, has demonstrated huge potential in saving time and costs. This open-source technology which generates a decentralized public ledger of transactions is widely appreciated for ensuring a high level of privacy through encryption and thus sharing the transaction details only amongst the participants involved in the transactions. The Blockchain is used not only for cryptocurrency but also by various companies to meet their business ends, such as efficient management of supply chains and logistics. The rise and fall of numerous crypto-currencies based on blockchain technology have generated debate among tech-giants and regulatory bodies. There are various groups which are working on standardizing the blockchain technology. At the same time, numerous groups are actively working, developing and fine-tuning their own blockchain platforms. Platforms such as etherium, hyperledger, parity, etc. have their own pros and cons. This research is focused on the performance analysis of blockchain platforms which gives a comparative understanding of these platforms.

description: A recent paper by Souza, Oliveira and Sarthour (SOS) reports the experimental violation of a Leggett-Garg inequality (sometimes referred to as a temporal Bell inequality). The inequality tests for quantum mechanical superposition: if the inequality is violated, the dynamics cannot be explained by a large class of classical theories under the heading of macrorealism. Experimental tests of the LG inequality are beset by the difficulty of performing the necessary so-called 'non-invasive' measurements (which for the macrorealist will extract information from a system of interest without disturbing it). SOS argue that they nevertheless achieve this difficult goal by putting the system in a maximally mixed state. The system then allegedly undergoes no perturbation during their experiment. Unfortunately the method is ultimately unconvincing to a skeptical macrorealist, and so the conclusions drawn by SOS are unjustified.

description: Stellar-mass primordial black holes (PBHs) from the early Universe can directly contribute to the gravitational wave (GW) events observed by LIGO, but can only comprise a subdominant component of the dark matter (DM). The primary DM constituent will generically form massive halos around seeding stellar-mass PBHs. We demonstrate that gravitational lensing of sources at cosmological ($\gtrsim$Gpc) distances can directly explore DM halo dresses engulfing PBHs, challenging for lensing of local sources in the vicinity of Milky Way. Strong lensing analysis of fast radio bursts detected by CHIME survey already starts to probe parameter space of dressed stellar-mass PBHs, and upcoming searches can efficiently explore dressed PBHs over $\sim 10-10^5 M_{\odot}$ mass-range and provide a stringent test of the PBH scenario for the GW events. Our findings establish a general test for a broad class of DM models with stellar-mass PBHs, including those where QCD axions or WIMP-like particles comprise predominant DM. The results open a new route for exploring dressed PBHs with various types of lensing events at cosmological distances, such as supernovae and caustic crossings.

description: We present a new numerical algorithm for the calculation of pulse profiles from spinning neutron stars in the Hartle-Thorne approximation. Our approach allows us to formally take into account the effects of Doppler shifts and aberration, of frame dragging, as well as of the oblateness of the stellar surface and of its quadrupole moment. We confirm an earlier result that neglecting the oblateness of the neutron-star surface leads to ~5-30% errors in the calculated profiles and further show that neglecting the quadrupole moment of its spacetime leads to ~1-5% errors at a spin frequency of 600 Hz. We discuss the implications of our results for the measurements of neutron-star masses and radii with upcoming X-ray missions, such as NASA's NICER and ESA's LOFT.

Machine Learning Approach for Prediction of Bone Mineral Density and Fragility Fracture in Osteoporosis
Creators: name: Bhattarai, Bibek
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2019

description: Osteoporosis is a prevailing bone disease, which weakens the bone and is one of the
major factors of disability, especially in elderly persons. In this thesis, we developed
various machine learning models to predict fracture risk of osteoporosis. These mod-
els were built to base their predictions on genotype and phenotype data of patients.
We performed two dierent types of analysis: fracture risk prediction (a classica-
tion model) and bone mineral density (BMD) prediction (a regression model). For
fracture risk prediction we implemented four dierent algorithms: logistic regression,
random forest, gradient boosting, and multi-layer perceptron (MLP) based on dier-
ent risk factors identied. We performed our experiments using 307 and 1103 Single
Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) with data from 5133 patients. For both 307 and
1103 SNPs the performance of MLP was the best with area under curve (AUC) of
0.970 and 0.981 respectively. Logistic regression had the worst performance among
four models with AUC of 0.816 and 0.904. For BMD prediction we implemented linear
regression, random forest, gradient boosting and MLP and as a performance metric
we plotted mean squared error (MSE) versus number of iterations for both train and
test set of data. The random forest performed the best in both cases with MSE of
0.004 and linear regression was the worst with MSE of 0.104 in the test data for both
sets of SNPs.

description: We revisit the Bose-Marletto-Vedral (BMV) table-top experimental proposal - which aims to witness quantum gravity using gravity mediated entanglement - analyzing the role of locality in the experiment. We first carry out a fully quantum modelling of the interaction of matter and gravity and then show in what way gravity mediated entanglement in the BMV experiment could be accounted for without appealing to quantum degrees of freedom of the gravitational field. We discuss what assumptions are needed in order to interpret the current BMV experiment proposals as a proof of quantum gravity, and also identify the modifications that a BMV-like experiment could have in order to serve as proof of quantum gravity without having to assume the existence of a local mediators in the gravitational field.

description: Matrix tablets are drug delivery devices designed to release a drug in a controlled manner over an extended period of time. We develop a cellular automaton (CA) model for the dissolution and release of a water-soluble drug and excipient from a matrix tablet of water-insoluble polymer. Cells of the CA are occupied by drug, excipient, water or polymer and the CA updating rules simulate the dissolution of drug and excipient and the subsequent diffusion of the dissolved substances. In addition we simulate the possible fracture of brittle drug and excipient powders during the tablet compression and the melting of the polymer during a possible thermal curing process. Different stirring mechanisms that facilitate the transport of dissolved drug in the fluid in which the tablet is immersed are modeled in the water cells adjacent to the boundary of the tablet. We find that our simulations can reproduce experimental drug release profiles. Our simulation tool can be used to streamline the formulation and production of sustained release tablets.

description: This paper addresses a gap in the current state of the art by providing a solution for modeling causal relationships that evolve over time and occur at different time scales. Specifically, we introduce the multiscale non-stationary directed acyclic graph (MN-DAG), a framework for modeling multivariate time series data. Our contribution is twofold. Firstly, we expose a probabilistic generative model by leveraging results from spectral and causality theories. Our model allows sampling an MN-DAG according to user-specified priors on the time-dependence and multiscale properties of the causal graph. Secondly, we devise a Bayesian method named Multiscale Non-stationary Causal Structure Learner (MN-CASTLE) that uses stochastic variational inference to estimate MN-DAGs. The method also exploits information from the local partial correlation between time series over different time resolutions. The data generated from an MN-DAG reproduces well-known features of time series in different domains, such as volatility clustering and serial correlation. Additionally, we show the superior performance of MN-CASTLE on synthetic data with different multiscale and non-stationary properties compared to baseline models. Finally, we apply MN-CASTLE to identify the drivers of the natural gas prices in the US market. Causal relationships have strengthened during the COVID-19 outbreak and the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a fact that baseline methods fail to capture. MN-CASTLE identifies the causal impact of critical economic drivers on natural gas prices, such as seasonal factors, economic uncertainty, oil prices, and gas storage deviations.
Induction of Differentiation of Dental Pulp-Derived Mesenchymal Stem cells (DPSC)
Creators: name: Young, Aubrey
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2014

description: Mesenchymal stem cells are derived from a variety of human tissues and are being bioengineered and studied for possible uses in the advancement of medicine. Recent efforts are being focused on Dental Pulp Stem Cells (DPSC's) due to the accessibility of this tissue. Many factors in?uence DPSC quality and quantity, including the speci?c methods used to isolate, collect, concentrate, and store these isolates once they are removed. Ancillary factors, such as the choice of media, the selection of early versus late passage cells, and cryopreservation techniques may also influence the differentiation potential and proliferative capacity of DPSC isolates.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential to induce differentiation of DPSC isolates in vitro by the adding of exogenous growth factors (GF), and by the coating of specific extracellular matrix molecules (ECM) onto the surface of tissue-culture dishes. Photomicroscopy and mRNA analysis demonstrated the addition of TGF-?1 notably increased pluripotency biomarkers in DPSC lines. The addition of Dexamethasone (Dex) or plating on Laminin-5 (LN5) was correlated with changes to cellular morphology and cell size in different subsets of cells. RNA isolated from these DPSCs for relative endpoint (RE) reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed mRNA DPSC specific intracellular biomarkers (Klf4, Sox-2, Bin-1, Rnf12, Oct-4 and NANOG) and the cell surface marker (CD133) were enhanced following the administration of TGF- ? 1 and were differentially down-regulated following Dexamethasone and Laminin-5 administration. This study provides some initial evidence that randomly selected DPSC isolates may be induced by established protocols to change phenotype and expression of pluripotent biomarkers with variable susceptibility between differing types of DPSCs. More studies will be needed to determine the range of cell types that can be successfully re-engineered in laboratory settings.

Critical Slowing Down along the Separatrix of Lotka-Volterra Model of Competition
Creators: name: Chatterjee, Sauvik

Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: The Lotka-Volterra model of competition has been studied by numerical simulations using the Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg algorithm. The stable fixed points, unstable fixed point, saddle node, basins of attraction, and the separatices are found. The transient behaviours associated with reaching the stable fixed point are studied systematically. It is observed that the time of reaching the stable fixed point in any one of the basins of attraction, depends strongly on the initial distance from the separatrix. As the initial point approached the separatrix, this time was found to diverge logarithmically. The divergence of the time, required to reach the stable fixed point, indicates the critical slowing down near the critical point in equilibrium phase transition. A metastable behaviour was also observed near the saddle fixed point before reaching the stable fixed point.

description: We present measurements of the branching fractions of 3-prong and 5-prong tau decay modes using a sample of 430 million tau lepton pairs, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 468 fb-1, collected with the BaBar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric energy e+e- storage rings. The τ- --> (3π)- ην, τ- --> (3π)- ων, and τ- --> π- f_1(1285)ν, branching fractions are presented as well as a new limit on the branching fraction of the isospin-forbidden, second-class current, τ- --> π-η'(958)ν, decay. We find no evidence for charged kaons in these decay modes and place the first upper limits on their branching fractions.
