description: We apply a force-directed spring embedding graph layout approach to electronic health records in order to visualise population-wide associations between human disorders as presented in an individual biological organism. The introduced visualisation is implemented on the basis of the Google maps platform and can be found at http://disease-map.net . We argue that the suggested method of visualisation can both validate already known specifics of associations between disorders and identify novel never noticed association patterns.

description: Ce travail de mémoire s’intéresse à la question du choix des options, des facteurs influençant celui-ci et le sentiment de liberté lié au choix lors des cours d’éducation physique (EPH) dispensés dans certains gymnases vaudois (S2). Effectivement, certains gymnases vaudois proposent des activités (entre 3 et 5) par cycle que peuvent choisir les étudiants. Dans ce travail, ce système est appelé « enseignement à options », en opposition au « système traditionnel » présent à l’école obligatoire (S1). Ces deux systèmes sont également comparés selon différents facteurs tels que la qualité des leçons, la motivation, etc… Afin de répondre à la problématique de ce travail, trois hypothèses ont été définies : • les étudiants se sentent libres de choisir les activités pratiquées pendant l’année en EPH. • les étudiants considèrent l’enseignement à options comme étant plus intéressant que l’enseignement traditionnel. • les activités proposées par l’enseignant permettent aux élèves de choisir une activité qui leur convient. Les résultats principaux ont montré qu’un fort sentiment de liberté est présent chez les étudiants lors du choix des options. Puis, l’enseignement à options est considéré, pour les étudiants, comme le plus intéressant des deux systèmes d’enseignement. Enfin, les propositions faites par les enseignants correspondent aux attentes des étudiants. Ces trois résultats majeurs ne rejettent donc aucunement nos hypothèses de départ. En conclusion, ce système à options mis en place dans certains gymnases vaudois semble être idéal pour permettre le développement personnel, l’épanouissement et le plaisir de l’activité physique en EPH pour les étudiants.
Do Women Undertake Interdisciplinary Research More Than Men?

description: In a context where funding for interdisciplinary research is gaining in importance to help solve the increasingly complex problems faced by modern societies (such as those being addressed through the UN SDGs), obtaining accurate measurements of interdisciplinarity by gender is highly relevant for funders in taking appropriate action(s) to level the playing field across genders. This is even more relevant given the conflicting evidence concerning the presence of women in interdisciplinary research, some of which could be biased by self-citations and other factors. The key result of this study is that the presence of women in scientific publications, within the large-scale dataset under investigation, is positively associated with interdisciplinarity even after controlling for a potential self-citation bias (shown to exert a slight negative effect on interdisciplinarity). This contradicts some of the prior literature on the topic but confirms results from other studies making use of different approaches—for example, using survey data. These results add to the body of literature that may suggest research performing and funding organizations should not be too concerned by women being potentially discouraged from taking part in interdisciplinary work. Nevertheless, further research would be warranted to better understand the potential impact of observed gender differences in interdisciplinarity on, for example, career progression. For instance, prior work has suggested that current evaluation practices underlying tenure decision may not be properly accounting for the specificities of interdisciplinary work. Also, further studies relying on alternative sources of information to capture interdisciplinarity (e.g., semantic analysis of full texts) could be useful to further test the robustness of this study’s results.

description: Network traffic data is huge, varying and imbalanced because various classes are not equally distributed. Machine learning (ML) algorithms for traffic analysis uses the samples from this data to recommend the actions to be taken by the network administrators as well as training. Due to imbalances in dataset, it is difficult to train machine learning algorithms for traffic analysis and these may give biased or false results leading to serious degradation in performance of these algorithms. Various techniques can be applied during sampling to minimize the effect of imbalanced instances. In this paper various sampling techniques have been analysed in order to compare the decrease in variation in imbalances of network traffic datasets sampled for these algorithms. Various parameters like missing classes in samples, probability of sampling of the different instances have been considered for comparison.

Optimistic Perception, Dangerous Reality: Dietary Supplement Regulation and Young-Adult Athlete Supplement Use
Creators: name: Martin, William Reid
Publisher: name: University of Chicago

Subjects: subject: UChicago Athletics
subject: Dietary Supplements

description: In 1994, Congress enacted the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act ( DSHEA ), which dramatically expanded the definition of a dietary supplement and established regulations for the marketing and manufacture of supplement products. The policy was intended to balance consumer access to supplements with consumer safety. However, DSHEA currently permits significant use of dietary supplements by uneducated young-adult athletes that were commonly provided or recommended a dietary supplement by an authority figure as a method to maximize their athletic potential. In order to understand the consumption habits of young-adult athletes, I utilized a mixed-methods approach, which included a survey of the University of Chicago Football team, which received eighty responses. Additionally, I conducted extensive interviews with four head coaches (two collegiate head football coaches, one collegiate head basketball coach, and one high school head football coach) and eight University of Chicago Football players. Following an aggregation of the quantitative survey data and an analysis of the qualitative interview findings, a common theme arose. There is currently a substantial disconnect between young-adult athletes’ knowledge of dietary supplement regulation in comparison to these athletes significant and diverse supplement consumption habits. As a result, I recommend a number of policy revisions, first at the federal level and, additionally, I recommend the creation of mandatory supplement education programs by the NCAA and high school athletic associations.

description: The oligopoly’s revenues from gold and hybrid APCs continue to increase, demonstrating a strong source of profits at the cost of authors, and like previous studies demonstrate, their control of the scholarly publishing market. Instead of making scholarly publishing sustainable and accessible for all, exorbitant APCs (and more recently transformative agreements) preserve the status quo of the academic publishing market. The author-pays model excludes large parts of the academic community from publishing, giving preference to well-funded authors, disciplines and countries. Instead of removing barriers from academic publishing, OA APCs have shifted inequities from readers to authors, often affecting those same individuals.
Seasonal evolution of the Arctic sea ice thickness distribution

description: The Thorndike et al., (\emph{J. Geophys. Res.} {\bf 80} 4501, 1975) theory of the ice thickness distribution, $g(h)$, treats the dynamic and thermodynamic aggregate properties of the ice pack in a novel and physically self-consistent manner. Therefore, it has provided the conceptual basis of the treatment of sea-ice thickness categories in climate models. The approach, however, is not mathematically closed due to the treatment of mechanical deformation using the redistribution function $ψ$, the authors noting ``The present theory suffers from a burdensome and arbitrary redistribution function $ψ.$'' Toppaladoddi and Wettlaufer (\emph{Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 115} 148501, 2015) showed how $ψ$ can be written in terms of $g(h)$, thereby solving the mathematical closure problem and writing the theory in terms of a Fokker-Planck equation, which they solved analytically to quantitatively reproduce the observed winter $g(h)$. Here, we extend this approach to include open water by formulating a new boundary condition for their Fokker-Planck equation, which is then coupled to the observationally consistent sea-ice growth model of Semtner (\emph{J. Phys. Oceanogr.} {\bf 6}(3), 379, 1976) to study the seasonal evolution of $g(h)$. We find that as the ice thins, $g(h)$ transitions from a single- to a double-peaked distribution, which is in agreement with observations. To understand the cause of this transition, we construct a simpler description of the system using the equivalent Langevin equation formulation and solve the resulting stochastic ordinary differential equation numerically. Finally, we solve the Fokker-Planck equation for $g(h)$ under different climatological conditions to study the evolution of the open-water fraction.

description: People suffering from pain often express their experience in metaphor. Empirical research suggests that the metaphors they use may shed light on their adjustment to pain conditions. While linguistic agency and pain metaphors often co-occur, no study has examined how people assign agency when describing pain and the impact of agency assignment on message receivers’ perceptions and responses. This research investigated 1) patterns of linguistic agency assignment in individuals’ descriptions of pain differing in intensity and duration, and 2) the impact of linguistic cues (i.e., agency assignment and grammatical category) used in fictitious pain narratives on audience’s pain perception. Two studies are reported. Study 1 investigated the language people spontaneously use to articulate their experience of mild vs. severe and acute vs. chronic pain. The author hypothesized that participants would be more likely to assign agency to pain or body parts where pain is localized (e.g., back) when describing chronic and/or severe pain than when describing acute and/or mild pain. As predicted, pain/body agency assignment rate was higher in the chronic vs. acute pain condition. However, there was no significant difference in the pain/body agency assignment rate between the severe and mild pain conditions. Study 2 featured a 3 (pain location: back, head, or joint) × 2 (agency assignment: person or pain/body) × 2 (pain process encoding: verb or nominalization) factorial experimental design. Participants read a pain narrative differing in linguistic cues and then rated their perception of the speaker and their pain. Findings from univariate analyses of covariance indicated that pain/body agency predicted higher ratings of perceived pain intensity and duration and lower ratings of internal locus of control and pain responsibility than human agency. However, no significant effect of agency assignment and nominalization were found on perceived pain affect, pain-related disability, sympathy, and support for higher dose. Pain perception was also subjected to individual differences in medical expertise, personal pain history, and experience of caretaking. This research offers insight to researchers and healthcare professionals about the influence of various linguistic choices in pain description on others’ interpretation of sufferers’ experience and their subsequent reactions.

description: We investigate secret key rates for the quantum repeater using encoding [L. Jiang et al., Phys. Rev. A 79, 032325 (2009)] and compare them to the standard repeater scheme by Briegel, Dür, Cirac, and Zoller. The former scheme has the advantage of a minimal consumption of classical communication. We analyze the trade-off in the secret key rate between the communication time and the required resources. For this purpose, we introduce an error model for the repeater using encoding which allows for input Bell states with a fidelity smaller than one, in contrast to the model given in [L. Jiang et al., Phys. Rev. A 79, 032325 (2009)]. We show that one can correct additional errors in the encoded connection procedure of this repeater and develop a suitable decoding algorithm. Furthermore, we derive the rate of producing entangled pairs for the quantum repeater using encoding and give the minimal parameters (gate quality and initial fidelity) for establishing a nonzero secret key. We find that the generic quantum repeater is optimal regarding the secret key rate per memory per second and show that the encoded quantum repeater using the simple three-qubit repetition code can even have an advantage with respect to the resources compared to other recent quantum repeater schemes with encoding.

description: Galanin is a neuropeptide expressed by sensory neurones innervating the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Galanin displays inhibitory effects on vagal afferent signaling within the upper GI tract, and the goal of this study was to determine the actions of galanin on colonic spinal afferent function. Specifically, we sought to evaluate the effect of galanin on lumbar splanchnic nerve (LSN) mechanosensitivity to noxious distending pressures and the development of hypersensitivity in the presence of inflammatory stimuli and colitis. Using ex vivo electrophysiological recordings we show that galanin produces a dose-dependent suppression of colonic LSN responses to mechanical stimuli and prevents the development of hypersensitivity to acutely administered inflammatory mediators. Using galanin receptor (GalR) agonists, we show that GalR1 activation, but not GalR2/3 activation, suppresses mechanosensitivity. The effect of galanin on colonic afferent activity was not observed in tissue from mice with dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis. We conclude that galanin has a marked suppressive effect on colonic mechanosensitivity at noxious distending pressures and prevents the acute development of mechanical hypersensitivity to inflammatory mediators, an effect not seen in the inflamed colon. These actions highlight a potential role for galanin in the regulation of mechanical nociception in the bowel and the therapeutic potential of targeting galaninergic signaling to treat visceral hypersensitivity.

description: The experience with the implementation of PINTEC Semiannual Innovation Survey constitutes an effort to advance in the collection of systematic information with less periodicity about the performance and innovative efforts of Brazilian industrial firms, incorporating the contributions of a growing debate about the most adequate procedures to capture an phenomenon essentially complex. In this sense, three main guidelines emerge from the analysis carried out: i) the importance of adapting to methodological guidelines that guarantee an effective international comparability; ii) the incorporation of the general guiding principles of concepts of conciseness and simplicity, comparability, timeliness and friendliness.; iii) the importance of considering the specific needs of each country, reflecting the evolutionary stage of innovative activities in each context and the resulting implications both in terms of the need to monitor business efforts and evaluate the impact of the public policies; iv) the concern with an instrument for collecting information that is sufficiently flexible and capable of adaptation, both in terms of the results obtained and in terms of the learning process inherent to the application and evaluation of this type of research. In fact, the inherent nature of the theme -innovation- implies a permanently oriented focus to moving targets, and, in this context, innovation surveys should be conceived as a flexible tool to address new business issues in a dynamic world, being synthetic but keeping the possibility of including new topics according to the environmental circumstance, academic interests and policy issues.

description: The analysis of APCs and Gold OA publishing suggests there may be a significant correlation, at the country-level, in APC expenses and the citation impact of resulting publications. High APC-values are then a disadvantage for low and middle-income countries, and they are even worse than what their nominal value reveals, as exchange rates based on purchase power parity indicators show how much more costly it can be to publish in US dollars. Thus, while OA publishing was intended to further equality, we now witness a higher chance of scholars being excluded from publishing.

description: Кратко описана антиоксидантная способность молока и молочных продуктов. Рассмотрено влияние различных факторов, в том числе процесса ферментации молока молочнокислыми микроорганизмами, на антиоксидантную активность кисломолочных продуктов. Общеизвестна полезность кисломолочных продуктов, тем не менее для оценки их влияния на различные группы населения с целью выявления наиболее эффективных штаммов микроорганизмов, функциональных компонентов, условий производства, определения сроков годности необходимо проведение многоаспектных исследований. Важно оценивать также собственную антиоксидантную способность молока и молочных продуктов, так как в случае дисбаланса между присутствием реактивных окислителей и механизмом антиоксидантной защиты могут происходить окислительные процессы, негативно влияющие на качество продукта. Для определения антиоксидантной активности существуют различные прямые и косвенные методы определения биологически активных соединений. В настоящее время особую важность приобретает комплексный подход к изучению их свойств, включающий тестирование на биообъектах. Использование относительно простых тест-систем для оценки антиоксидантной активности in vivo в сочетании с физико-химическими методами позволяет получить представление о механизмах антиоксидантного действия разных субстанций в живых клетках. В последнее время во многих областях научных исследований все более широкое применение находят различные культуры клеток в качестве предварительных тестов для замены дорогих и длительных тестов на животных. К настоящему времени создана целостная концепция биотестирования как метода научного познания. Цель данного обзора литературных данных – формирование представления о биотестировании с использованием тест-культур как методе научного исследования.

description: We study natural cluster structures in the rings of regular functions on simple complex Lie groups and Poisson-Lie structures compatible with these cluster structures. According to our main conjecture, each class in the Belavin-Drinfeld classification of Poisson-Lie structures on $\G$ corresponds to a cluster structure in $Ø(\G)$. We have shown before that this conjecture holds for any $\G$ in the case of the standard Poisson--Lie structure and for all Belavin-Drinfeld classes in $SL_n$, $n<5$. In this paper we establish it for the Cremmer-Gervais Poisson-Lie structure on $SL_n$, which is the least similar to the standard one. Besides, we prove that on $SL_3$ the cluster algebra and the upper cluster algebra corresponding to the Cremmer-Gervais cluster structure do not coincide, unlike the case of the standard cluster structure. Finally, we show that the positive locus with respect to the Cremmer-Gervais cluster structure is contained in the set of totally positive matrices.
description: The proofs of the statements in Section 3 are contained in the companion paper arXiv:1307.1020. The results in Sections 4 and 5 are new. Restates a conjecture from arXiv:1101.0015 and proves it in a particular case

description: В процессе убоя сельскохозяйственных животных образуется значительное количество побочных продуктов, которые богаты питательными и биологически активными веществами. Некоторые субпродукты употребляются людьми в качестве продуктов питания или подлежат использованию на различные цели, что способствует рациональной переработке сельхозсырья, но это зависит как от традиций и религий, так и от нормативных актов, действующих в стране. В работе был изучен антиоксидантный потенциал экстрактов селезенки, сердца и аорты свиней путем определения их общей антиоксидантной емкости методом Ferric Reducing/Antioxidant Power и концентрации активных продуктов, реагирующих с 2-тиобарбитуровой кислотой. Методом кинетической хемилюминесценции был проведен сравнительный анализ антиоксидантной активности нативных экстрактов с их ультрафильтратами и стандартным низкомолекулярным антиоксидантом Trolox. Наибольшая общая антиоксидантная емкость наблюдалась у экстракта селезенки и составляла 3,93±0,04 мкмоль-экв. дигидрокверцетина/г сырья, что превышало аналогичные показатели для сердца и аорты в 4,0 (Р<0.05) и 1,27 (Р<0.05) раза соответственно. Наибольшая антиоксидантная активность была также отмечена у нативного экстракта селезенки и равнялась 9,10± 1,07 kPPS, что выше в 1,8 (Р<0.05) и 2,6 (Р<0.05) раза для сердца и аорты. Было показано, что при изучении нативных экстрактов и их ультрафильтратов метод хемилюминесценции позволяет не только определить антиоксидантную активность, но и оценить вклад высокомолекулярных белковых, в том числе ферментативных, и низкомолекулярных антиоксидантов. Отмечалась обратная корреляция концентраций вторичных продуктов перекисного окисления липидов с антиоксидантным потенциалом исследуемого сырья, что вызывает некоторые сомнения целесообразности применения такого сырья в пищевой промышленности. Тем не менее возможна переработка этого сырья в качестве источника биоактивных компонентов.

description: The thermal structure of the upper ocean (0–1000 m) is set by surface heat fluxes, shallow wind-driven circulation, and the deeper thermohaline circulation. Its long-term variability can be reconstructed using deep-dwelling planktonic foraminifera that record subsurface conditions. Here we used six species (Neogloboquadrina dutertrei, Globorotalia tumida, Globorotalia inflata, Globorotalia truncatulinoides, Globorotalia hirsuta, and Globorotalia crassaformis) from 66 core tops along a meridional transect spanning the mid-Atlantic (42°N to 25°S) to develop a method for reconstructing past thermocline conditions. We estimated the calcification depths from δ18O measurements and the Mg/Ca-temperature relationships for each species. This systematic strategy over this large latitudinal section reveals distinct populations with different Mg/Ca-temperature relationships for G. inflata, G. truncatulinoides, and G. hirsuta in different areas. The calcification depths do not differ among the different populations, except for G. hirsuta, where the northern population calcifies much shallower than the southern population. N. dutertrei and G. tumida show a remarkably constant calcification depth independent of oceanographic conditions. The deepest dweller, G. crassaformis, apparently calcifies in the oxygen-depleted zone, where it may find refuge from predators and abundant aggregated matter to feed on. We found a good match between its calcification depth and the 3.2 ml/l oxygen level. The results of this multispecies, multiproxy study can now be applied down-core to facilitate the reconstruction of open-ocean thermocline changes in the past.

description: Masses and radii of stars can be derived by combining eclipsing binary light curves with spectroscopic orbits. In our previous work, we modeled the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) light curves of more than 30,000 detached eclipsing binaries using PHOEBE. Here we combine our results with 128 double-lined spectroscopic orbits from Gaia Data Release 3. We visually inspect ASAS-SN light curves of double-lined spectroscopic binaries on the lower main sequence and the giant branch, adding 11 binaries to our sample. We find that only 50% of systems have Gaia periods and eccentricities consistent with the ASAS-SN values. We use emcee and PHOEBE to determine masses and radii for a total of 122 stars with median fractional uncertainties of 7.9% and 6.3%, respectively.

description: Atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease is a common and debilitating condition, which results in reduced blood flow to the lower limb. 15% of patients with peripheral arterial disease go on to develop “end stage” critical limb ischaemia. Current treatment options include bypass surgery or endovascular techniques such as stenting and angioplasty. These treatments carry risks and cannot be used in all patients. Therefore, a not insignificant cohort will go on to need an amputation which creates a huge burden for individuals and health care systems. Therapeutic angiogenesis aims to use pro-angiogenic agents such as genes, proteins, mesenchymal stem cells, and small molecule drugs to bring about angiogenesis or new blood vessel growth in ischaemic tissues.
The following experimental chapters describe the results of a multimodal pro-angiogenic treatment comprising human mesenchymal stem cells and the small molecule drug desferrioxamine in a chitosan gel carrier. Promising results are demonstrated in a murine model of hindlimb ischaemia both in terms of real time improvement in perfusion and in terms of increased cellular markers of new blood vessel formation. The addition of thermosensitive liposomes to deliver pro-angiogenic agents in a temporally and spatially controlled manner adds a further level of sophistication in the second experimental chapter. By combining lysolipid-based thermosensitive liposomes and an injectable chitosan hydrogel matrix, the “Lipogel” compound allows a localised, adjustable and time dependent delivery of multiple therapeutics. This approach represents an exciting delivery platform which could potentially be used to deliver a vast array of therapeutics in any number of disease processes.

description: We study a special kind of singular vorticities in ideal 2D fluids that combine features of point vortices and vortex sheets, namely pointed vortex loops. We focus on the coadjoint orbits of the area-preserving diffeomorphism group of ${\mathbb R}^2$ determined by them. We show that a polarization subgroup consists of diffeomorphisms that preserve the loop as a set, thus the configuration space is the space of loops that enclose a fixed area, without information on vorticity distribution and attached points.

description: La Suisse, capitale européenne du fédéralisme, possède un système d’éducation calqué sur les libertés décisionnelles laissées aux cantons dans la régulation et la mise en place de différentes thématiques telles que la fiscalité, la santé ou, justement, l’éducation. Cette autonomie, en ce qui concerne les compétences laissées aux cantons, impacte notamment l’enseignement de la géographie en école de maturité au secondaire II. L’existence, depuis 1994, d’un plan d’études cadre présentant des recommandations à l’échelle nationale à l’intention des cantons laisse tout de même le soin à ceux-ci de mettre sur pieds leur propre plan d’études. Ce travail de mémoire part de ce constat pour tenter de mettre à jour les différences jalonnant les plans d’études de trois cantons romands : Vaud, Neuchâtel et Berne. De là, un intérêt est porté à l’influence que peuvent avoir ces différences cantonales sur les pratiques enseignantes au sein des différentes écoles de maturité concernées. Une partie empirique, construite autour de trois entretiens vient soutenir les deux hypothèses posées dans la problématique de cette recherche. Celles-ci tentent de répondre à la question centrale de ce mémoire : les différences entre les plans d’études des cantons de Neuchâtel, Vaud et Berne pour l’enseignement de la géographie en école de maturité influent-elles sur les pratiques enseignantes ? L’objectif de ce travail est finalement d’établir un constat de départ et d’y chercher des impacts sur les pratiques enseignantes. Cette thématique, encore peu abordée, paraît centrale dans un pays où les spécificités cantonales sont souvent vues comme des acquis et où, d’un autre côté, on cherche de plus en plus à uniformiser les aspérités liées aux différents pouvoirs des cantons, notamment en ce qui concerne l’éducation (l’adoption du concordat HarmoS pour la scolarité obligatoire illustre parfaitement cela). Les différentes pistes de recherche évoquées ici ont donc pour ambition de défricher ce champ d’étude et de motiver d’éventuels futurs travaux plus conséquents sur le sujet.
Hydrologic Impacts of Past Shifts of Earth’s Thermal Equator Offer Insight into Those to be Produced by Fossil Fuel CO2

description: Major changes in global rainfall patterns accompanied a northward shift of Earth’s thermal equator at the onset of an abrupt climate change 14.6 kya. This northward pull of Earth’s wind and rain belts stemmed from disintegration of North Atlantic winter sea ice cover, which steepened the interhemispheric meridional temperature gradient. A southward migration of Earth’s thermal equator may have accompanied the more recent Medieval Warm to Little Ice Age climate transition in the Northern Hemisphere. As fossil fuel CO2 warms the planet, the continents of the Northern Hemisphere are expected to warm faster than the Southern Hemisphere oceans. Therefore, we predict that a northward shift of Earth’s thermal equator, initiated by an increased interhemispheric temperature contrast, may well produce hydrologic changes similar to those that occurred during past Northern Hemisphere warm periods. If so, the American West, the Middle East, and southern Amazonia will become drier, and monsoonal Asia, Venezuela, and equatorial Africa will become wetter. Additional paleoclimate data should be acquired and model simulations should be conducted to evaluate the reliability of this analog.

description: (Abridged) We study the host galaxy regions in close proximity to Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) to analyze relations between the properties of SN Ia events and environments most similar to where their progenitors formed. We focus on local Hα emission as an indicator of young environments. The Nearby Supernova Factory has obtained flux-calibrated spectral timeseries for SNe Ia using integral field spectroscopy, allowing the simultaneous measurement of the SN and its immediate vicinity. For 89 SNe Ia we measure Hα emission tracing ongoing star formation within a 1 kpc radius around each SN. This constitutes the first direct study of the local environment for a large sample of SNe Ia also having accurate luminosity, color and stretch measurements. We find that SNe Ia with local Hα emission are redder by 0.036+/-0.017 mag, and that the previously-noted correlation between stretch and host mass is entirely driven by the SNe Ia coming from passive regions. Most importantly, the mean standardized brightness for SNe Ia with local Hα emission is 0.094+/-0.031 mag fainter than for those without. This offset arises from a bimodal structure in the Hubble residuals, that also explains the previously-known host-mass bias. We combine this bimodality with the cosmic star-formation rate to predict changes with redshift in the mean SN Ia brightness and the host-mass bias. This change is confirmed using high-redshift SNe Ia from the literature. These environmental dependences point to remaining systematic errors in SNe Ia standardization. The observed brightness offset is predicted to cause a significant bias in measurements of the dark energy equation of state. Recognition of these effects offers new opportunities to improve SNe Ia as cosmological probes - e.g. SNe Ia having local Hα emission are more homogeneous, having a brightness dispersion of 0.105+/-0.012 mag.

description: Passing from a microscopic discrete lattice system with many degrees of freedom to a mesoscopic continuum system described by a few coarse-grained equations is challenging. The common folklore is to take the thermodynamic limit so that the physics of the discrete lattice describes the continuum results. The analytical procedure to do so relies on defining a small length scale (typically the lattice spacing) to coarse-grain the microscopic evolution equations. Moving from the microscopic scale to the mesoscopic scale then requires careful approximations. In this work, we numerically test the coarsening in a Toda chain, which is an interacting integrable system, i.e. a system with a macroscopic number of conserved charges. Specifically, we study the spreading of fluctuations by computing the spatiotemporal thermal correlations with three different methods: (a) Using microscopic molecular dynamics simulation with a large number of particles; (b) solving the generalized hydrodynamics equation; (c) solving the linear Euler scale equations for each conserved quantities. Surprisingly, the results for the small systems (c) match the thermodynamic results in (a) and (b) for macroscopic systems. This reiterates the importance and validity of integrable hydrodynamics in describing experiments in the laboratory, where we typically have microscopic systems.
