description: A snake path in a graph $G$ is a path in $G$ which is also an induced subgraph of $G$. For all $n$, we find the greatest length of a snake path in the $n \times n$ king graph and we give a complete description of the paths which attain this greatest length. The even and odd cases behave very differently. We also estimate the greatest length of a snake path or cycle in the $m \times n$ knight graph, for all $m$ and $n$.

description: Serotonin receptors are prevalent throughout the nervous system and the periphery, and remain one of the most lucrative and promising drug discovery targets for disorders ranging from migraine headaches to neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and depression. There are 14 distinct serotonin receptors, of which 13 are G protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), which are targets for approximately 40% of the approved medicines. Recent crystallographic and biochemical evidence has provided a converging understanding of the basic structure and functional mechanics of GPCR activation. Currently, two GPCR crystal structures exist for the serotonin family, the 5-HT1B and 5-HT2B receptor, with the antimigraine and valvulopathic drug ergotamine bound. The first serotonin crystal structures not only provide the first evidence of serotonin receptor topography but also provide mechanistic explanations into functional selectivity or biased agonism. This review will detail the findings of these crystal structures from a molecular and mutagenesis perspective for driving rational drug design for novel therapeutics incorporating biased signaling.

description: The Variational Auto-Encoder (VAE) is one of the most used unsupervised machine learning models. But although the default choice of a Gaussian distribution for both the prior and posterior represents a mathematically convenient distribution often leading to competitive results, we show that this parameterization fails to model data with a latent hyperspherical structure. To address this issue we propose using a von Mises-Fisher (vMF) distribution instead, leading to a hyperspherical latent space. Through a series of experiments we show how such a hyperspherical VAE, or $\mathcal{S}$-VAE, is more suitable for capturing data with a hyperspherical latent structure, while outperforming a normal, $\mathcal{N}$-VAE, in low dimensions on other data types.

description: This is number thirteen of 42 preservation briefs prepared by the Technical Preservation Services of the National Park Service. This brief focuses on the repair and thermal upgrading of historic steel windows. The National Park Service recommends the retention of significant historic metal windows whenever possible. Such windows, which can be a character-defining feature of a historic building, are too often replaced with inappropriate units that impair rather than complement the overall historic appearance. The repair and thermal upgrading of historic steel windows is more practicable than most people realize. Repaired and properly maintained metal windows have greatly extended service lives. They can be made energy efficient while maintaining their contribution to the historic character of the building.

description: Deep generative models for graph-structured data offer a new angle on the problem of chemical synthesis: by optimizing differentiable models that directly generate molecular graphs, it is possible to side-step expensive search procedures in the discrete and vast space of chemical structures. We introduce MolGAN, an implicit, likelihood-free generative model for small molecular graphs that circumvents the need for expensive graph matching procedures or node ordering heuristics of previous likelihood-based methods. Our method adapts generative adversarial networks (GANs) to operate directly on graph-structured data. We combine our approach with a reinforcement learning objective to encourage the generation of molecules with specific desired chemical properties. In experiments on the QM9 chemical database, we demonstrate that our model is capable of generating close to 100% valid compounds. MolGAN compares favorably both to recent proposals that use string-based (SMILES) representations of molecules and to a likelihood-based method that directly generates graphs, albeit being susceptible to mode collapse.

description: Movement within eukaryotic cells largely originates from localized forces exerted by myosin motors on scaffolds of actin filaments. Although individual motors locally exert both contractile and extensile forces, large actomyosin structures at the cellular scale are overwhelmingly contractile, suggesting that the scaffold serves to favor contraction over extension. While this mechanism is well understood in highly organized striated muscle, its origin in disordered networks such as the cell cortex is unknown. Here we develop a mathematical model of the actin scaffold's local two- or three-dimensional mechanics and identify four competing contraction mechanisms. We predict that one mechanism dominates, whereby local deformations of the actin break the balance between contraction and extension. In this mechanism, contractile forces result mostly from motors plucking the filaments transversely rather than buckling them longitudinally. These findings sheds light on recent $\textit{in vitro}$ experiments, and provides a new geometrical understanding of contractility in the myriad of disordered actomyosin systems found $\textit{in vivo}$.

description: The computation of the single-differential top quark-antiquark pair ($\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$) production cross section at NLO in the fixed-order expansion is examined consistently using the MSR and $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$ short-distance top quark mass schemes. A thorough investigation of the dependence of different regions of the $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ invariant mass spectrum on the renormalization scales $R$ and $μ_m$ of the MSR mass $m_\mathrm{t}^{\textrm{MSR}}(R)$ and $\overline{\textrm{MS}}$ mass $\overline{m}_\mathrm{t}(μ_m)$, respectively, is carried out. We demonstrate that a scale choice of $R\sim 80$~GeV is important for the stability of the cross-section predictions for the low $\mathrm{t}\overline{\mathrm{t}}$ invariant mass range, which is important for a reliable extraction of the top quark mass. Furthermore, a choice of semi-dynamical renormalization and factorization scales is preferred. These findings are expected to remain valid once non-relativistic quasi-bound state effects are included in the low invariant mass region.

description: A presente pesquisa, trata-se de um estudo descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, realizado a partir da vivência no campus Princesa Isabel - IFPB, no projeto de extensão denominado “Inclusão social: Aprendizagem da Língua visual - LIBRAS - para alunos surdos”, e surgiu a partir de uma demanda da própria comunidade do município de Jurú – PB. Esse é um dos desafios enfrentados por esse grupo social. Para atender a essa demanda de inclusão linguística e social enfrentada pelos deficientes auditivos, foram ministradas de aulas de LIBRAS para a comunidade de Jurú, com foco nos alunos das escolas públicas da cidade que têm deficiência auditiva. Além disso, foi proporcionado a esse público tão carente a possibilidade de ter um acesso adequado à comunicação e, consequentemente, à inclusão social, pois, em cidades mais distantes dos grandes centros urbanos, é comum a escassez de conhecimento em LIBRAS devido à falta de profissionais especializados nessas localidades.

description: Most research in reading comprehension has focused on answering questions based on individual documents or even single paragraphs. We introduce a neural model which integrates and reasons relying on information spread within documents and across multiple documents. We frame it as an inference problem on a graph. Mentions of entities are nodes of this graph while edges encode relations between different mentions (e.g., within- and cross-document co-reference). Graph convolutional networks (GCNs) are applied to these graphs and trained to perform multi-step reasoning. Our Entity-GCN method is scalable and compact, and it achieves state-of-the-art results on a multi-document question answering dataset, WikiHop (Welbl et al., 2018).

description: Given a sequence of random variables ${\bf X}=X_1,X_2,\ldots$ suppose the aim is to maximize one's return by picking a `favorable' $X_i$. Obviously, the expected payoff crucially depends on the information at hand. An optimally informed person knows all the values $X_i=x_i$ and thus receives $E (\sup X_i)$. We will compare this return to the expected payoffs of a number of observers having less information, in particular $\sup_i (EX_i)$, the value of the sequence to a person who only knows the first moments of the random variables. In general, there is a stochastic environment (i.e. a class of random variables $\cal C$), and several levels of information. Given some ${\bf X} \in {\cal C}$, an observer possessing information $j$ obtains $r_j({\bf X})$. We are going to study `information sets' of the form $$ R_{\cal C}^{j,k} = \{ (x,y) | x = r_j({\bf X}), y=r_k({\bf X}), {\bf X} \in {\cal C} \}, $$ characterizing the advantage of $k$ relative to $j$. Since such a set measures the additional payoff by virtue of increased information, its analysis yields a number of interesting results, in particular `prophet-type' inequalities.

description: Digital twin (DT), refers to a promising technique to digitally and accurately represent actual physical entities. One typical advantage of DT is that it can be used to not only virtually replicate a system's detailed operations but also analyze the current condition, predict future behaviour, and refine the control optimization. Although DT has been widely implemented in various fields, such as smart manufacturing and transportation, its conventional paradigm is limited to embody non-living entities, e.g., robots and vehicles. When adopted in human-centric systems, a novel concept, called human digital twin (HDT) has thus been proposed. Particularly, HDT allows in silico representation of individual human body with the ability to dynamically reflect molecular status, physiological status, emotional and psychological status, as well as lifestyle evolutions. These prompt the expected application of HDT in personalized healthcare (PH), which can facilitate remote monitoring, diagnosis, prescription, surgery and rehabilitation. However, despite the large potential, HDT faces substantial research challenges in different aspects, and becomes an increasingly popular topic recently. In this survey, with a specific focus on the networking architecture and key technologies for HDT in PH applications, we first discuss the differences between HDT and conventional DTs, followed by the universal framework and essential functions of HDT. We then analyze its design requirements and challenges in PH applications. After that, we provide an overview of the networking architecture of HDT, including data acquisition layer, data communication layer, computation layer, data management layer and data analysis and decision making layer. Besides reviewing the key technologies for implementing such networking architecture in detail, we conclude this survey by presenting future research directions of HDT.

description: We study the distribution of values of the Riemann zeta function $ζ(s)$ on vertical lines $\Re s + i \mathbb{R}$, by using the theory of Hilbert space. We show among other things, that, $ζ(s)$ has a Fourier expansion in the half-plane $\Re s \geq 1/2$ and its Fourier coefficients are the binomial transform involving the Stieltjes constants. As an application, we show explicit computation of the Poisson integral associated with the logarithm of $ζ(s) - s/(s-1)$. Moreover, we discuss our results with respect to the Riemann and Lindelöf hypotheses on the growth of the Fourier coefficients.

Comparison of the CNS effects induced by TRH and bicuculline after microinjection into medial septum, substantia nigra and inferior colliculus: Absence of support for a GABA antagonist action for TRH

description: Antagonism of ethanol-induced depression of locomotion was observed after intracisternal injection of thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) and bicuculline methiodide (BICM), as well as after microinjection of these drugs into the medial septum. The present investigation compared the behavioral and physiological consequence of administering TRH and BICM into the medial septum, inferior colliculus and substantia nigra to quantitate the similarities between these compounds. BICM produced a major increase in locomotor activity when injected into the medial septum and stereotypies when injected into the substantia nigra, suggesting that GABA-containing neurons have widespread influences on motor function. The wild running and seizure activity observed after BICM injection into the inferior colliculus was also consistent with this latter view. The marked increase in rectal temperature observed when BICM was injected into the medial septum may also implicate GABAergic mechanisms in temperature control at this brain site. TRH produced no such behavioral or physiological changes when administered into these three sites. Thus, this work strongly suggests that TRH does not exert a widespread action as a GABA antagonist because TRH did not produce the same changes induced by BICM. The actions of BICM and TRH to antagonize ethanol-induced depression when microinjected into the medial septum suggests that this brain area may be a critical site for the depressant action of ethanol.

description: Collective animal behaviors are paradigmatic examples of fully decentralized operations involving complex collective computations such as collective turns in flocks of birds or collective harvesting by ants. These systems offer a unique source of inspiration for the development of fault-tolerant and self-healing multi-robot systems capable of operating in dynamic environments. Specifically, swarm robotics emerged and is significantly growing on these premises. However, to date, most swarm robotics systems reported in the literature involve basic computational tasks---averages and other algebraic operations. In this paper, we introduce a novel Collective computing framework based on the swarming paradigm, which exhibits the key innate features of swarms: robustness, scalability and flexibility. Unlike Edge computing, the proposed Collective computing framework is truly decentralized and does not require user intervention or additional servers to sustain its operations. This Collective computing framework is applied to the complex task of collective mapping, in which multiple robots aim at cooperatively map a large area. Our results confirm the effectiveness of the cooperative strategy, its robustness to the loss of multiple units, as well as its scalability. Furthermore, the topology of the interconnecting network is found to greatly influence the performance of the collective action.

description: When rats were pretreated with ethanol (3.0 g/kg, IP), subsequent microinjection of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) (500 or 1000 ng) into the medial septum, 30 minutes later, significantly shortened the time necessary for the rats to regain their righting reflex. Conversely, microinjection of TRH into the nucleus accumbens (1000 ng/side) or the area of the raphe obscurus (1000 ng) had no effect on ethanol-induced depression, although both of these structures mediate specific TRH effects in the CNS. In order to determine if this antagonism was due to a specific TRH interaction, TRH Fab fragments were microinjected into the medial septum just prior to the microinjection of TRH. Under these conditions, TRH did not alter ethanol’s depressant actions. Finally, this TRH antagonism of ethanol-induced depression appears attributable to a net increase in neuronal activity, because electrical stimulation (160 μA, 120 Hz, 1.5 msec duration) of the medial septum antagonized ethanol’s impairment of the righting reflex. These results are discussed in relationship to a potential CNS site for the action of ethanol.

description: Belief propagation is a well-studied algorithm for approximating local marginals of multivariate probability distribution over complex networks, while tensor network states are powerful tools for quantum and classical many-body problems. Building on a recent connection between the belief propagation algorithm and the problem of tensor network contraction, we propose a block belief propagation algorithm for contracting two-dimensional tensor networks and approximating the ground state of $2D$ systems. The advantages of our method are three-fold: 1) the same algorithm works for both finite and infinite systems; 2) it allows natural and efficient parallelization; 3) given its flexibility it would allow to deal with different unit cells. As applications, we use our algorithm to study the $2D$ Heisenberg and transverse Ising models, and show that the accuracy of the method is on par with state-of-the-art results.

description: The idea of reusing or transferring information from previously learned tasks (source tasks) for the learning of new tasks (target tasks) has the potential to significantly improve the sample efficiency of a reinforcement learning agent. In this work, we describe a novel approach for reusing previously acquired knowledge by using it to guide the exploration of an agent while it learns new tasks. In order to do so, we employ a variant of the growing self-organizing map algorithm, which is trained using a measure of similarity that is defined directly in the space of the vectorized representations of the value functions. In addition to enabling transfer across tasks, the resulting map is simultaneously used to enable the efficient storage of previously acquired task knowledge in an adaptive and scalable manner. We empirically validate our approach in a simulated navigation environment, and also demonstrate its utility through simple experiments using a mobile micro-robotics platform. In addition, we demonstrate the scalability of this approach, and analytically examine its relation to the proposed network growth mechanism. Further, we briefly discuss some of the possible improvements and extensions to this approach, as well as its relevance to real world scenarios in the context of continual learning.

description: We present an analysis of the Raman spectra of optimally doped ${\rm Ba_{0.6}K_{0.4}Fe_2As_2}$ based on LDA band structure calculations and the subsequent estimation of effective Raman vertices. Experimentally a narrow, emergent mode appears in the $B_{1g}$ ($d_{x^2-y^2}$) Raman spectra only below $T_c$, well into the superconducting state and at an energy below twice the energy gap on the electron Fermi surface sheets. The Raman spectra can be reproduced quantitatively with estimates for the magnitude and momentum space structure of the s$_{+-}$ pairing gap on different Fermi surface sheets, as well as the identification of the emergent sharp feature as a Bardasis-Schrieffer exciton, formed as a Cooper pair bound state in a subdominant $d_{x^2-y^2}$ channel. The binding energy of the exciton relative to the gap edge shows that the coupling strength in this subdominant $d_{x^2-y^2}$ channel is as strong as 60% of that in the dominant $s_{+-}$ channel. This result suggests that $d_{x^2-y^2}$ may be the dominant pairing symmetry in Fe-based sperconductors which lack central hole bands.

description: Chronic gestational cocaine administration has been correlated with high levels of postpartum maternal aggression towards intruders and altered levels of oxytocin in the amygdala. Cocaine may alter both oxytocin and maternal aggression either directly or indirectly through changes in monoamine levels in relevant brain regions. In this study, pregnant female rats were randomly assigned to one of four groups; three cocaine dose groups (7.5, 15 or 30 mg/kg), or a saline-treated group (0.9% normal saline) and given subcutaneous injections twice daily (total volume 2 ml/kg) throughout gestation. Behavioral responses to an inanimate object placed in the homecage were assessed on Postpartum Day (PPD) 6. Immediately following testing, animals were sacrificed and four brain regions implicated in maternal/aggressive behavior (medial preoptic area [MPOA], ventral tegmental area [VTA], hippocampus, and amygdala) were removed for monoamine level analyses using high-performance liquid chromatography. Dams given 30 mg/kg cocaine throughout gestation had significantly higher levels of dopamine (DA) and nonsignificantly elevated serotonin (5-HT) levels relative to saline-treated controls. These dams also exhibited higher frequencies of defensive behavior toward an inanimate object compared to saline-treated controls. Potential mechanisms mediating cocaine-induced increases in responding are proposed.

Anisotropic Segre [(11)(1,1)] dark energy following a particular equation of state

description: A generally anisotropic equation of state originally derived in the context of Newman-Janis rotating systems allows for vacuum energy at a specific density. In this paper we examine the possibility of using that equation of state for cosmological dark energy. We treat the case of large scale ordering of the directions of the energy-momentum tensor eigenvectors with a Bianchi cosmological model, and treat the case where the ordering is random on small scales with an effectively isotropic FLRW system. We find particular spacetimes which evolve towards a vacuum energy/ de Sitter like configuration in either case. In the anisotropic Bianchi case, the system can have behavior reminiscent of big bounce cosmologies, in which the matter content approaches vacuum energy at large scale factor and can behave in a variety of ways at small scale factor. For particular conditions in the effectively isotropic case, we can evolve between true and false vacuum configurations, or between radiation like and vacuum energy configurations. We also show how some simpler equations of state behave under the same assumptions to elucidate the methods for analysis.

Game Tree Search in a Robust Multistage Optimization Framework: Exploiting Pruning Mechanisms

description: We investigate pruning in search trees of so-called quantified integer linear programs (QIPs). QIPs consist of a set of linear inequalities and a minimax objective function, where some variables are existentially and others are universally quantified. They can be interpreted as two-person zero-sum games between an existential and a universal player on the one hand, or multistage optimization problems under uncertainty on the other hand. Solutions are so-called winning strategies for the existential player that specify how to react on moves of the universal player - i.e. certain assignments of universally quantified variables - to certainly win the game. QIPs can be solved with the help of game tree search that is enhanced with non-chronological back-jumping. We develop and theoretically substantiate pruning techniques based upon (algebraic) properties similar to pruning mechanisms known from linear programming and quantified boolean formulas. The presented Strategic Copy-Pruning mechanism allows to \textit{implicitly} deduce the existence of a strategy in linear time (by static examination of the QIP-matrix) without explicitly traversing the strategy itself. We show that the implementation of our findings can massively speed up the search process.
Identifying AGN's Balmer-Absorptions and stratified NLR kinematics in SDSSJ112611.63+425246.4

description: Balmer absorption is a rare phenomenon in active galactic nuclei (AGNs). So far, only seven Balmer-absorption AGNs have been reported in literature. We here report the identification of SDSS\,J112611.63+425246 as a new Balmer-absorption AGN through our spectral analysis, and study the kinematics of its narrow emission-line region (NLR). We model the continuum by a linear combination of a starlight component, a powerlaw from the central AGN and the emission from the FeII complex. After the subtraction of the modeled continuum, each emission/absorption line is profiled by a sum of multi Gaussian functions. All the line shifts are determined with respect to the modeled starlight component. By using the host starlight as a reference for the local system, both H$α$ and H$β$ show AGN's absorptions with a blueshift of $\sim300\mathrm{km\ s^{-1}}$. We identify a strong anti-correlation between the inferred velocity shifts and ionization potential for various narrow emission lines, which suggests a stratified NLR kinematics. A de-accelerated outflow is implied for the inner NLR gas, while an accelerated inflow for the outer NLR gas. This complicated NLR kinematics additionally implies that AGN's narrow emission lines, even for the low-ionized lines, might not be a reliable surrogate for the velocity of the local system.
