description: We introduce a simple theoretical approach for an equilibrium study of proteins with known native state structures. We test our approach with results on well-studied globular proteins, Chymotrypsin Inhibitor (2ci2), Barnase and the alpha spectrin SH3 domain and present evidence for a hierarchical onset of order on lowering the temperature with significant organization at the local level even at high temperatures. A further application to the folding process of HIV-1 protease shows that the model can be reliably used to identify key folding sites that are responsible for the development of drug resistance .

description: We show that the nonequilibrium dynamics of systems with many interacting elements located on a small-world network can be much slower than on regular networks. As an example, we study the phase ordering dynamics of the Ising model on a Watts-Strogatz network, after a quench in the ferromagnetic phase at zero temperature. In one and two dimensions, small-world features produce dynamically frozen configurations, disordered at large length scales, analogous of random field models. This picture differs from the common knowledge (supported by equilibrium results) that ferromagnetic short-cuts connections favor order and uniformity. We briefly discuss some implications of these results regarding the dynamics of social changes.

Eye- or mouth lookers? Saccade and pupillary responses to diagnostic features of emotional facial expressions
Creators: name: Yu-Fang, Yang
name: Gamer Matthias
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: Facial expressions, Saccades, Pupillometry, Diagnostic facial features

description: Facial features convey important information on expressed emotions. However, the informative value of specific features differs between emotions with the eyes being more diagnostic for fear and the mouth region for happy facial expressions. Previous research has found sensitivity to the distribution of such diagnostic features in reflexive eye movements, but conflicting results have been reported for very brief viewing durations. Moreover, it is yet unknown whether autonomic activity also reflects the visual processing of these features. We briefly presented (50 or 150 ms) emotional faces (fearful, happy, and neutral) either in an upright or inverted fashion to elicit reflexive saccades. Furthermore, participants were foveated on specific facial features (i.e., eyes or mouth) by vertically shifting faces relative to the previous central fixation cross. In addition to behavioural performance, we analyzed the proportion of saccades towards facial features in the visual periphery as well as pupil size. While participants were generally very accurate and fast in classifying the emotional expressions, the initial fixation on diagnostic features did not significantly modulate their performance. However, we replicated the previously observed preferential visual orienting towards diagnostic features even for very brief presentation times. Pupil size was not modulated by the experimental manipulations. The results show that facial expression categorization can be accomplished with very restricted visual input. However, even in such conditions, first saccades were preferentially targeting diagnostic features of emotional expressions. The behavioural relevance and stability of such explorations patterns need to be examined in future studies.

description: Layered transition-metal trichalcogenides have become one of the research frontiers as two-dimensional magnets and candidate materials used for phase-change memory devices. Herein we report the high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction and resistivity measurements on Cr2Ge2Te6 (CGT) single crystal by using diamond anvil cell techniques, which reveal a mixture of crystalline-to-crystalline and crystalline-to-amorphous transitions taking place concurrently at 18.3-29.2 GPa. The polymorphic transition could be interpreted by atomic layer reconstruction and the amorphization could be understood in connection with randomly flipping atoms into van der Waals gaps. The amorphous (AM) phase is quenchable to ambient conditions. The electrical resistance of CGT shows a bouncing point at ~ 18 GPa, consistent with the polymorphism phase transition. Interestingly, the high-pressure AM phase exhibits metallic resistance with the magnitude comparable to that of high-pressure crystalline phases, whereas the resistance of the AM phase at ambient pressure fails to exceed that of the crystalline phase, indicating that the AM phase of CGT appeared under high pressure is quite unique and similar behavior has never been observed in other phase-change materials. The results definitely would have significant implications for the design of new functional materials.

description: Synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction measurements have been performed on unpoled ceramic samples of (1-x)PbMg(1/3)Nb(2/3)O3-xPbTiO3 (PMN-xPT) with 30%<= x<= 39% as a function of temperature around the morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), which is the line separating the rhombohedral and tetragonal phases in the phase diagram. The experiments have revealed very interesting features previously unknown in this or related systems. The sharp and well-defined diffraction profiles observed at high and intermediate temperatures in the cubic and tetragonal phases, respectively, are in contrast to the broad features encountered at low temperatures. These peculiar characteristics, which are associated with the monoclinic phase of MC-type previously reported by Kiat et al and Singh et al., can only be interpreted as multiple coexisting structures with MC as the major component. An analysis of the diffraction profiles has allowed us to properly characterize the PMN-xPT phase diagram and to determine the stability region of the monoclinic phase, which extends from x= 31% to x= 37% at 20 K. The complex lansdcape of observed phases points to an energy balance between the different PMN-xPT phases which is intrinsically much more delicate than that of related systems such as PbZr(1-x)TixO3 or (1-x)PbZn(1/3)Nb(1/3)O3-xPbTiO3. These observations are in good accord with an optical study of x= 33% by Xu et al., who observed monoclinic domains with several different polar directions coexisting with rhombohedral domains, in the same single crystal.

Pati-Salam unification with a spontaneous CP violation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent neutrino oscillation experiments suggest that the PMNS matrix in the lepton sector has a $CP$ violating phase as the CKM matrix in the quark sector. However, origin of these phases in both matrices are not clarified by now. Although complex Yukawa couplings could induce these phases, they remain as free parameters of the model even in that case. If the $CP$ symmetry is considered to be spontaneously broken, they are expected to be determined by some physics at a much lower energy scale than the Planck scale. We study such a possibility in a framework of Pati-Salam type unification. We also discuss other phenomenological issues in it.

Low scale leptogenesis in a hybrid model of the scotogenic type I and III seesaw
Creators: name: Suematsu, Daijiro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The scotogenic type I and type III seesaw models are good candidates to explain the existence of neutrino masses and dark matter simultaneously. However, since triplet fermions have SU(2) gauge interaction, they cannot be out of equilibrium before the electroweak symmetry breaking. Thus, leptogenesis seems to be difficult within a framework of the pure type III seesaw model. Some extension seems to be required to solve this fault. A model extended by introducing a singlet fermion could be such a simple example. If the singlet fermion is in the thermal equilibrium even for its extremely small neutrino Yukawa coupling, leptogenesis could be shown to occur successfully for a rather low mass of the singlet fermion. The required mass could be lowered to $10^4$~GeV.

description: We investigate the modular transformation properties of observable (light) fields in heterotic orbifolds, in the light of recent calculations of CP-violating quantities. Measurable quantities must be modular invariant functions of string moduli, even if the light fields are noninvariant. We show that physical invariance may arise by patching smooth functions that are separately noninvariant. CP violation for on the unit circle, which requires light and heavy states to mix under transformation, is allowed in principle, although the Jarlskog parameter J_CP(T) must be amended relative to previous results. However, a toy model of modular invariant mass terms indicates that the assumption underlying these results is unrealistic. In general the mass eigenstate basis is manifestly modular invariant and coupling constants are smooth invariant functions of T, thus CP is unbroken on the unit circle. We also discuss the status of CP-odd quantities when CP is a discrete gauge symmetry, and point out a link with baryogenesis.

description: Nature uses an Mn cluster for water oxidation, and thus, water oxidation using Mn clusters is interesting when used in artificial water-splitting systems. An important question is whether an Mn cluster is a true catalyst for water oxidation or not. Herein, an Mn–K cluster was investigated for electrochemical water oxidation to find the true and the kinetically dominant catalyst using X-ray absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electrochemical methods. The experiments showed that conversion into nanosized Mn oxide occurred for the cluster, and the nanosized Mn oxides are the true catalyst for water oxidation.

description: Nowadays, image processing is mostly denoted to the processing of digital images. Image processing has two branches: improving images and machine vision. Improving images are the methods that use blurring and increase contrast to improve the visual quality of images and ensure that they are displayed correctly in the destination environment (such as a printer or monitor), while machine vision deals with methods that can be used to mean and understand the content of images to be used in robotics. Image segmentation is one of the greatest significant steps on digital image processing. Image segmentation is separation of picture pixels into separate zones that are identical or as closely correlated as possible in terms of brightness, texture, or color. Image segmentation has lots of applications in many image processing tasks, such as image therapy, machine vision, image compression, object detection. This paper, will provide comprehensive review about different image segmentation techniques. We will compare each of the existing methods with each other and will investigate the positive potentials and drawbacks of each of these methods.

description: To realize the practical implementation of device-independent quantum key distribution~(DIQKD), the main difficulty is that its security relies on the detection-loophole-free violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt~(CHSH) inequality, i.e. the CHSH value $S>2$, which is easily destroyed by the loss in transmission channels. One of the simplest methods to circumvent it is to utilize the entanglement swapping relay~(ESR). Here, we propose and experimentally test an improved version of the heralded nonlocality amplifier protocol based on the ESR, and numerically show that our scheme is much more robust against the transmission loss than the previously developed protocol. In the experiment, we observe that the obtained probability distribution is in excellent agreement with those expected by the numerical simulation with experimental parameters which are precisely characterized in a separate measurement. Moreover, we experimentally estimate the nonlocality of the heralded state after the transmission of 10~dB loss just before detection. It is estimated to be $S=2.104>2$, which indicates that our final state possesses strong nonlocality even with various experimental imperfections. Our result clarifies an important benchmark of the ESR protocol, and paves the way towards the long-distance realization of the loophole-free CHSH-violation as well as DIQKD.

description: Major mid-winter stratospheric sudden warmings (SSWs) are the largest instance of wintertime variability in the Arctic stratosphere. Because SSWs are able to cause significant surface weather anomalies on intra-seasonal timescales, several previous studies have focused on their potential future change, as might be induced by anthropogenic forcings. However, a wide range of results have been reported, from a future increase in the frequency of SSWs to an actual decrease. Several factors might explain these contradictory results, notably the use of different metrics for the identification of SSWs and the impact of large climatological biases in single-model studies. To bring some clarity, we here revisit the question of future SSW changes, using an identical set of metrics applied consistently across 12 different models participating in the Chemistry–Climate Model Initiative. Our analysis reveals that no statistically significant change in the frequency of SSWs will occur over the 21st century, irrespective of the metric used for the identification of the event. Changes in other SSW characteristics – such as their duration, deceleration of the polar night jet, and the tropospheric forcing – are also assessed: again, we find no evidence of future changes over the 21st century.

description: As is well known, both massive gravity and bigravity exhibit the linear van Dam-Veltman-Zakharov (vDVZ) discontinuity that is cured classically by the nonlinear Vainshtein mechanism due to certain low scale strongly coupled interactions. Here we show how both the vDVZ and strong coupling problems can be removed by embedding 4D covariant massive gravity into a certain 5D warped geometry. The 4D theory is a nonlinear strongly coupled massive gravity, that is being coupled to a 5D bulk theory that generates a bulk graviton mass via a one loop diagram. This induced mass leads to an additional 4D kinetic term for the 4D longitudinal mode, even on flat space. Due to this kinetic term the 4D massive theory becomes weakly coupled all the way up to a high energy scale set by the bulk cosmological constant. The same effect leads to a suppression of the interactions of the 4D longitudinal mode with a 4D matter stress-tensor, thus removing the vDVZ discontinuity. The proposed mechanism has a pure 4D holographic interpretation: a 4D nonlinear massive gravity mixes to a non-conserved symmetric tensor of a 4D CFT that has a cutoff; the latter mixing generates a large kinetic term for the longitudinal mode, and this makes the longitudinal mode be weakly coupled to a matter stress-tensor, and weakly self-coupled, all the way up to the scale of the 4D CFT cutoff.

description: The calculation of the hindered roton-phonon energy levels of a hydrogen molecule in a confining potential with different symmetries is systematized for the case when the rotational angular momentum $J$ is a good quantum number. One goal of this program is to interpret the energy-resolved neutron time of flight spectrum previously obtained for H$_{2}$C$_{60}$. This spectrum gives direct information on the energy level spectrum of H$_2$ molecules confined to the octahedral interstitial sites of solid C$_{60}$. We treat this problem of coupled translational and orientational degrees of freedom a) by construction of an effective Hamiltonian to describe the splitting of the manifold of states characterized by a given value of $J$ and having a fixed total number of phonon excitations, b) by numerical solutions of the coupled translation-rotation problem on a discrete mesh of points in position space, and c) by a group theoretical symmetry analysis. Results obtained from these three different approaches are mutually consistent. The results of our calculations explain several hitherto uninterpreted aspects of the experimental observations, but show that a truly satisfactory orientational potential for the interaction of an H$_2$ molecule with a surrounding array of C atoms has not yet been developed.

description: This paper presents the results of an investigation on the spectral losses of photovoltaic (PV) soiling. The transmittance of a glass coupon exposed to natural soiling outdoors in Jaén, southern Spain, has been measured weekly and used to estimate the soiling losses that various types of photovoltaic materials would experience if installed in the same location. The results suggest that measuring the hemispherical transmittance of the soiling accumulated on a PV glass coupon can give enough information to quantify the impact of soiling on energy production. Each PV technology is found to have a preferred spectral region, or a specific single wavelength, for which the transmittance through a PV glass coupon could be used for the best estimation of soiling losses. Overall, considering the average spectral transmittance between the extreme wavelengths of the material-specific absorption band, or the transmittance of soiling at a single wavelength between 500 and 600 nm yields the best estimations for different PV technologies. The results of this work can lead to innovative approaches to detect soiling in the field and to estimate the impact of spectral changes induced by soiling on PV energy production.

description: Time series of groundwater and stream water quality often exhibit substantial temporal and spatial variability, whereas typical existing monitoring data sets, e.g. from environmental agencies, are usually characterized by relatively low sampling frequency and irregular sampling in space and/or time. This complicates the differentiation between anthropogenic influence and natural variability as well as the detection of changes in water quality which indicate changes in single drivers. We suggest the new term "dominant changes" for changes in multivariate water quality data which concern (1) multiple variables, (2) multiple sites and (3) long-term patterns and present an exploratory framework for the detection of such dominant changes in data sets with irregular sampling in space and time. Firstly, a non-linear dimension-reduction technique was used to summarize the dominant spatiotemporal dynamics in the multivariate water quality data set in a few components. Those were used to derive hypotheses on the dominant drivers influencing water quality. Secondly, different sampling sites were compared with respect to median component values. Thirdly, time series of the components at single sites were analysed for long-term patterns. We tested the approach with a joint stream water and groundwater data set quality consisting of 1572 samples, each comprising sixteen variables, sampled with a spatially and temporally irregular sampling scheme at 29 sites in northeast Germany from 1998 to 2009. The first four components were interpreted as (1) an agriculturally induced enhancement of the natural background level of solute concentration, (2) a redox sequence from reducing conditions in deep groundwater to post-oxic conditions in shallow groundwater and oxic conditions in stream water, (3) a mixing ratio of deep and shallow groundwater to the streamflow and (4) sporadic events of slurry application in the agricultural practice. Dominant changes were observed for the first two components. The changing intensity of the first component was interpreted as response to the temporal variability of the thickness of the unsaturated zone. A steady increase in the second component at most stream water sites pointed towards progressing depletion of the denitrification capacity of the deep aquifer.

description: We investiaged the optical properties of four-layer BaRuO$_{3}$, which shows a fermi-liquid-like behavior at low temperature. Its optical conductivity spectra clearly displayed the formation of a pseudogap and the development of a coherent peak with decreasing temperature. Temperature-dependences of the density $n$ and the scattering rate $1/τ$ of the coherent component were also derived. As the temperature decreases, both $n$ and $1/τ$ decrease for four-layer BaRuO$_{3}$. These electrodynamic responses were compared with those of nine-layer BaRuO$_{3}$, which also shows a pseudogap formation but has an insulator-like state at low temperature. It was found that the relative rates of change of both $n$ and $1/τ$ determine either metallic or insulator-like responses in the ruthenates. The optical properties of the four-layer ruthenate were also compared with those of other pseudogap systems, such as high $T_{c}$ cuprates and heavy electron systems.

description: Background: Resistance to 3rd-generation cephalosporins in Escherichia coli is mostly mediated by extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) or AmpC beta-lactamases. Besides overexpression of the species-specific chromosomal ampC gene, acquisition of plasmid-encoded ampC genes, e.g. blaCMY-2, has been described worldwide in E. coli from humans and animals. To investigate a possible transmission of blaCMY-2 along the food production chain, we conducted a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based analysis of 164 CMY-2-producing E. coli isolates from humans, livestock animals and foodstuff from Germany. Results: The data of the 164 sequenced isolates revealed 59 different sequence types (STs); the most prevalent ones were ST38 (n = 19), ST131 (n = 16) and ST117 (n = 13). Two STs were present in all reservoirs: ST131 (human n = 8; food n = 2; animal n = 6) and ST38 (human n = 3; animal n = 9; food n = 7). All but one CMY-2-producing ST131 isolates belonged to the clade B (fimH22) that differed substantially from the worldwide dominant CTX-M-15-producing clonal lineage ST131-O25b clade C (fimH30). Plasmid replicon types IncI1 (n = 61) and IncK (n = 72) were identified for the majority of blaCMY-2-carrying plasmids. Plasmid sequence comparisons showed a remarkable sequence identity, especially for IncK plasmids. Associations of replicon types and distinct STs were shown for IncK and ST57, ST429 and ST38 as well as for IncI1 and ST58. Additional β-lactamase genes (blaTEM, blaCTX-M, blaOXA, blaSHV) were detected in 50% of the isolates, and twelve E. coli from chicken and retail chicken meat carried the colistin resistance gene mcr-1. Conclusion: We found isolates of distinct E. coli clonal lineages (ST131 and ST38) in all three reservoirs. However, a direct clonal relationship of isolates from food animals and humans was only noticeable for a few cases. The CMY-2-producing E. coli-ST131 represents a clonal lineage different from the CTX-M-15-producing ST131-O25b cluster. Apart from the ST-driven spread, plasmid-mediated spread, especially via IncI1 and IncK plasmids, likely plays an important role for emergence and transmission of blaCMY-2 between animals and humans.
