description: With the newly measurements of $X(3872) \to J/ψπ^+π^-$ from LHCb Collaboration, in addition to the dominant contribution from the $ρ^0$ meson, we perform a theoretical study on the contribution of $ω$ meson in the $X(3872) \to J/ψπ^+π^-$ and $X(3872)\to J/ψπ^+π^-π^0$ processes. It is found that the recent experimental measurements on the $π^+ π^-$ invariant mass distributions can be well reproduced, and the ratio of the couplings between $X(3872) \to J/ψρ^0$ and $X(3872) \to J/ψω$ is also evaluated. Within the parameters extracted from the $π^+ π^-$ invariant mass distributions of the $X(3872) \to J/ψπ^+π^-$ process, the branching fractions of the $X(3872) \to J/ψω$ channel relative to that of the $X(3872) \to J/ψπ^+π^-π^0$ channel and the $π^+ π^- π^0$ invariant mass distributions of the $X(3872) \to J/ψπ^+π^-π^0$ decay are calculated, which gives a hint for the further high-statistic experiment.

description: This paper studies the performance of sparse regression codes for lossy compression with the squared-error distortion criterion. In a sparse regression code, codewords are linear combinations of subsets of columns of a design matrix. It is shown that with minimum-distance encoding, sparse regression codes achieve the Shannon rate-distortion function for i.i.d. Gaussian sources $R^*(D)$ as well as the optimal excess-distortion exponent. This completes a previous result which showed that $R^*(D)$ and the optimal exponent were achievable for distortions below a certain threshold. The proof of the rate-distortion result is based on the second moment method, a popular technique to show that a non-negative random variable $X$ is strictly positive with high probability. In our context, $X$ is the number of codewords within target distortion $D$ of the source sequence. We first identify the reason behind the failure of the standard second moment method for certain distortions, and illustrate the different failure modes via a stylized example. We then use a refinement of the second moment method to show that $R^*(D)$ is achievable for all distortion values. Finally, the refinement technique is applied to Suen's correlation inequality to prove the achievability of the optimal Gaussian excess-distortion exponent.

description: Truth code to compute acceptance for four lepton signal regions using SimpleAnalysis framework
description: Results from a search for supersymmetry in events with four or more charged leptons (electrons, muons and taus) are presented. The analysis uses a data sample corresponding to $36.1$ fb$^{-1}$ of proton--proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Four-lepton signal regions with up to two hadronically decaying taus are designed to target a range of supersymmetric scenarios that can be either enriched in or depleted of events involving the production and decay of a $Z$ boson. Data yields are consistent with Standard Model expectations and results are used to set upper limits on the event yields from processes beyond the Standard Model. Exclusion limits are set at the 95% confidence level in simplified models of General Gauge Mediated supersymmetry, where higgsino masses are excluded up to $295$ GeV. In $R$-parity-violating simplified models with decays of the lightest supersymmetric particle to charged leptons, lower limits of $1.46$ TeV, $1.06$ TeV, and $2.25$ TeV are placed on wino, slepton and gluino masses, respectively.

description: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) plays important roles in embryonic development, tissue regeneration and cancer metastasis. While several feedback loops have been shown to regulate EMT, it remains elusive how they coordinately modulate EMT response to TGF-βtreatment. We construct a mathematical model for the core regulatory network controlling TGF-β-induced EMT. Through deterministic analyses and stochastic simulations, we show that EMT is a sequential two-step program that an epithelial cell first transits to partial EMT then to the mesenchymal state, depending on the strength and duration of TGF-βstimulation. Mechanistically the system is governed by coupled reversible and irreversible bistable switches. The SNAIL1/miR-34 double negative feedback loop is responsible for the reversible switch and regulates the initiation of EMT, while the ZEB/miR-200 feedback loop is accountable for the irreversible switch and controls the establishment of the mesenchymal state. Furthermore, an autocrine TGF-β/miR-200 feedback loop makes the second switch irreversible, modulating the maintenance of EMT. Such coupled bistable switches are robust to parameter variation and molecular noise. We provide a mechanistic explanation on multiple experimental observations. The model makes several explicit predictions on hysteretic dynamic behaviors, system response to pulsed stimulation and various perturbations, which can be straightforwardly tested.

title: Effect of Fabric on Stress-Strain Relation, Volume Change, and Dynamic Shear Modulus of Ottawa Sand
Creators: name: Chen, Ming-Tarng
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: To evaluate the effect of fabric on stress-strain behavior, volume change, and the dynamic shear modulus of Ottawa sand, four series of tests on hollow cylindrical specimens were performed by a torsional simple shear/resonant apparatus. All specimens were first isotropically consolidated, and then sheared along the different stress paths while keeping the mean effective stress constant. The test results showed that depositional fabric had a slight influence on the stress-strain behavior, and one half-cycle of preshearing created a clear anisotropy on the stress-strain response. The intermediate principal stress had a dominant effect on volume change characteristics but it might not affect the dynamic shear modulus on the principal stress axis rotation. In comparisons with similar experiments on ideal glass spheres, Ottawa sand showed a slightly stronger depositional fabric effect but more difficulty to induced fabric upon preshearing.

description: As fontes da época moderna para uma história natural das baleias em Portugal surgem agora como muito ricas pela variedade de formas que assumem - notícias, memórias, poemas e estudos com referências à ictiologia. Estes grandes cetáceos, quando arrojavam na costa portuguesa ou entravam acidentalmente no rio Tejo (Lisboa), suscitavam a curiosidade do povo, nobres e eruditos. As baleias e os recursos que destas se extraiam eram importantes para a alimentação, a iluminação e as boticas. Contudo, estes grandes e fascinantes animais também enriqueciam o espírito, sendo mote de poemas, quase sempre usados como metáfora para tratar de assuntos morais, mas também relatando as verdadeiras procissões de gente que ia observar as baleias. Pelo menos a partir do século XVIII, as suas características passaram a ser descritas minuciosamente, apontando-se as suas medidas e cores. Algumas fontes escritas eram acompanhadas de lustrações as quais corriam a Europa adaptadas a contextos locais e traduzidas para outras línguas vernaculares a partir do português. Mas em Lisboa as baleias ganharam uma
existência cultural para lá da sua vida biológica. Um destes animais foi embalsamado e armado para ser admirado pelo rei. Um grande quadro a óleo, agora perdido, estava exposto no Arsenal, em Lisboa. Assim, as fontes escritas e a iconografia revelam que a memória das baleias se expressava também em suportes visuais quer para satisfazer a curiosidade comum, quer a científica.
Este documento compila um conjunto de fontes manuscritas e impressas, algumas das quais até à data desconhecidas, que incluem informação sobre baleias e outros cetáceos que ocorreram na história de Portugal. Para cada fonte damos a sua referência
completa, incluindo localização em arquivo, uma breve contextualização sobre a obra e o autor, a transliteração de partes selecionadas e um resumo de enquadramento e interpretação dessas mesas partes. No entanto, outras fontes poderão ser relevantes para esta temática e o que aqui apresentamos não esgota, certamente, a investigação sobre a história natural e a história ambiental dos mamíferos marinhos em Portugal.

description: In modern data science problems, techniques for extracting value from big data require performing large-scale optimization over heterogenous, irregularly structured data. Much of this data is best represented as multi-relational graphs, making vertex programming abstractions such as those of Pregel and GraphLab ideal fits for modern large-scale data analysis. In this paper, we describe a vertex-programming implementation of a popular consensus optimization technique known as the alternating direction of multipliers (ADMM). ADMM consensus optimization allows elegant solution of complex objectives such as inference in rich probabilistic models. We also introduce a novel hypergraph partitioning technique that improves over state-of-the-art partitioning techniques for vertex programming and significantly reduces the communication cost by reducing the number of replicated nodes up to an order of magnitude. We implemented our algorithm in GraphLab and measure scaling performance on a variety of realistic bipartite graph distributions and a large synthetic voter-opinion analysis application. In our experiments, we are able to achieve a 50% improvement in runtime over the current state-of-the-art GraphLab partitioning scheme.

description: We are now moving into an era where multi-object wide-field surveys, which traditionally use single fibres to observe many targets simultaneously, can exploit compact integral field units in place of single fibres. Current multi-object integral field instruments such as SAMI (Croom et al. 2012; Bryant et al. 2012a) have driven the development of new imaging fibre bundles (hexabundles) for multi-object spectrographs. We have characterised the performance of hexabundles with different cladding thicknesses and compared them to that of the same type of bare fibre, across the range of fill-fractions and input f-ratios likely in an IFU instrument. Hexabundles with 7-cores and 61-cores were tested for focal ratio degradation (FRD), throughput and cross-talk when fed with inputs from F/3.4 to >F/8. The five 7-core bundles have cladding thickness ranging from 1 to 8 microns, and the 61-core bundles have 5micron cladding. As expected, the FRD improves as the input focal ratio decreases. We find that the FRD and throughput of the cores in the hexabundles match the performance of single fibres of the same material at low input f-ratios. The performance results presented can be used to set a limit on the f-ratio of a system based on the maximum loss allowable for a planned instrument. Our results confirm that hexabundles are a successful alternative for fibre imaging devices for multi-object spectroscopy on wide-field telescopes and have prompted further development of hexabundle designs with hexagonal packing and square cores.

We prove that it is NP-complete to determine whether a given graph has a strict confluent drawing but polynomial to determine whether it has an outerplanar strict confluent drawing with a fixed vertex ordering (a drawing within a disk, with the vertices placed in a given order on the boundary).

description: This paper presents a taxonomy that allows defining the fault tolerance regimes fail-operational, fail-degraded, and fail-safe in the context of automotive systems. Fault tolerance regimes such as these are widely used in recent publications related to automated driving, yet without definitions. This largely holds true for automotive safety standards, too. We show that fault tolerance regimes defined in scientific publications related to the automotive domain are partially ambiguous as well as taxonomically unrelated. The presented taxonomy is based on terminology stemming from ISO 26262 as well as from systems engineering. It uses four criteria to distinguish fault tolerance regimes. In addition to fail-operational, fail-degraded, and fail-safe, the core terminology consists of operational and fail-unsafe. These terms are supported by definitions of available performance, nominal performance, functionality, and a concise definition of the safe state. For verification, we show by means of two examples from the automotive domain that the taxonomy can be applied to hierarchical systems of different complexity.

description: Context. HCN is the most abundant molecule after H$_{2}$ and CO in the circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of carbon-rich asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. Its rotational lines within vibrationally excited states are exceptional tracers of the innermost region of C-rich CSEs. Aims. We aim to constrain the physical conditions of CSEs of C-rich stars using thermal lines of the HCN molecule. Additionally, we also search for new HCN masers and probe the temporal variations for HCN masers, which should shed light on their pumping mechanisms. Methods. We observed 16 C-rich AGB stars in various HCN rotational transitions within the ground and 12 vibrationally excited states with the APEX 12 m submillimeter telescope. Results. We detect 68 vibrationally excited HCN lines from 13 C-rich stars, including 39 thermal transitions and 29 maser lines, which suggests that vibrationally excited HCN lines are ubiquitous in C-rich stars. Population diagrams constructed, for two objects from the sample, for thermal transitions from different vibrationally excited states give excitation temperature around 800-900 K, confirming that they arise from the hot innermost regions of CSEs (i.e., r<20$R_{*}$). Among the detected masers, 23 are newly detected, and the results expand the total number of known HCN masers lines toward C-rich stars by 47%. In particular, the J=2-1 (0, 3$^{1e}$, 0), J=3-2 (0, 2, 0), J=4-3 (0, 1$^{1f}$, 0) masers are detected in an astronomical source for the first time. Our observations confirm temporal variations of the 2-1 (0, 1$^{1e}$, 0) maser on a timescale of a few years. Our analysis of the data suggests that all detected HCN masers are unsaturated. A gas kinetic temperature of ${\gtrsim}$700K and an H$_{2}$ number density of >10$^{8}$cm$^{-3}$ are required to excite the HCN masers. In some ways, HCN masers in C-rich stars might be regarded as an analogy of SiO masers in O-rich stars.

description: We construct the spectral functions for light vector mesons at finite density and temperature in the presence of a novel mixing between parity partners, induced by baryon density via the Wess-Zumino-Witten action. As the main origin of in-medium broadening, a set of baryon resonances that strongly couple to the vector mesons and the modifications of kaons and anti-kaons due to the Kaplan-Nelson term are included. It is shown that the vector spectra, even with the broadening effects, exhibit sizable signatures of chiral symmetry restoration thanks to the chiral mixing depending on three-momenta carried by the vector mesons. Those spectral functions are used to calculate the integrated production rates of lepton pairs, and a proper binning in momenta and potential decrease in the vector-meson masses due to chiral symmetry restoration are discussed in quantifying the signatures.

description: We mainly establish a monotonicity property between some special Riemann sums of a convex function $f$ on $[a,b]$, which in particular yields that $\frac{b-a}{n+1}\sum_{i=0}^n f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is decreasing while $\frac{b-a}{n-1}\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} f\left(a+i\frac{b-a}{n}\right)$ is an increasing sequence. These give us a new refinement of the Hermitt-Hadamard inequality. Moreover, we give a refinement of the classical Alzer's inequality together with a suitable converse to it. Applications regarding to some important convex functions are also included.

description: With its last observing run, the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA collaboration has detected almost one hundred gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences. A common approach to studying the population properties of the observed binaries is to use phenomenological models to describe the spin, mass, and redshift distributions. More recently, with the aim of providing a clearer link to astrophysical processes forming the observed compact binaries coalescences, several authors have proposed to employ synthetic catalogs for population studies. In this paper, we review how to employ and interpret synthetic binary catalogs for gravitational-wave progenitors studies. We describe how to build multi-channel merger rates and describe their associated probabilities focusing on stellar progenitor properties. We introduce a method to quantify the match between the phenomenological reconstruction of merger rates with synthetic catalogs. We detail the implementation of synthetic catalogs for multi-channel hierarchical Bayesian inference, highlighting computational aspects and issues related to hyper-prior choice. We find that when inferring stellar progenitors' properties from gravitational-wave observations, the relative efficiency in compact objects production should be taken into account. Finally, by simulating binary black hole detections with LIGO and Virgo sensitivity expected for the O4 observing run, we present two case studies related to the inference of the common envelope efficiency and progenitor metallicity of the binary black holes. We finally discuss how progenitors' properties can be linked to binary black hole properties.

description: While scientific performance is an important aspect of a stable and healthy economy, measures for it have yet to gain their place in economic country profiles. As useful indicators for this performance dimension, this paper introduces the concept of milestones for research excellence, as points of transition to higher-level contributions at the leading edge of science. The proposed milestones are based on two indicators associated with research excellence, the impact vitality profile and the production of review type publications, both applied to a country's publications in the top journals Nature and Science. The milestones are determined for two distinct groups of emerging market economies: the BRIC countries, which outperformed the relative growth expected at their identification in 2001, and the N-11 or Next Eleven countries, identified in 2005 as potential candidates for a BRIC-like evolution. Results show how these two groups at different economic levels can be clearly distinguished based on the research milestones, indicating a potential utility as parameters in an economic context.

title: A Model to Investigate the Influence of Suspended Sediment on the Mass Transport of a Pollutant in Open Channel Flow
Creators: name: Chapman, Raymond Scott
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 1977

description: The environmental impact of the transport of pollutants in open channel flow has for many years been of interest due to the continuous introduction of heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and other foreign substances into natural waterways. In order to fully understand this transport process, it-is necessary to examine the significance of its individual components. In the present study an explicit two-dimensional finite difference model, designed to investigate the influence of suspended sediment on the pollutant transport process, is presented. Specific attention is directed toward examining the role of suspended sediment in 1) the turbulent vertical transport mechanism in a stratified flow, and 2) pollutant uptake due to sorption. Results presented indicate that suspended sediment plays a major, role in the pollutant transport process, and subsequently, any meaningful attempt to model the fate of a pollutant in an alluvial channel must account for the presence of a suspended sediment concentration profile. Similarly, the vertical and longitudinal pollutant concentration distributions provided by the model may be utilized to improve upon the predictive capacities of existing water quality models.

description: The analysis of existing institutional research proposal databases can provide novel insights into science funding parity. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between race/ethnicity and extramural research proposal and award rates across a medical school faculty and to determine whether there was evidence that researchers changed their submission strategies because of differential inequities across submission categories. The authors performed an analysis of 14,263 biomedical research proposals with proposed start dates between 2010-2022 from the University of Michigan Medical School, measuring the proposal submission and award rates for each racial/ethnic group across 4 possible submission categories (R01 & Equivalent programs, other federal, industry, and non-profit). Biomedical researchers from different racial/ethnic groups follow markedly different proposal submission strategies within the University of Michigan Medical School. There is also a clear relationship between race/ethnicity and rates of proposal award. Black/African American and Asian researchers appear disadvantaged across all submission categories relative to White researchers. This study can be easily replicated by other academic research institutions, revealing opportunities for positive intervention.

description: We construct the Perelomov number coherent states for any three $su(1,1)$ Lie algebra generators and study some of their properties. We introduce three operators which act on Perelomov number coherent states and close the $su(1,1)$ Lie algebra. We show that the most general $SU(1,1)$ coherence-preserving Hamiltonian has the Perelomov number coherent states as eigenfunctions, and we obtain their time evolution. We apply our results to obtain the non-degenerate parametric amplifier eigenfunctions, which are shown to be the Perelomov number coherent states of the two-dimensional harmonic oscillator.

description: The mechanical properties of the extracellular matrix dictate tissue behaviour. In epithelial tissues, laminin is a very abundant extracellular matrix component and a key supporting element. Here we show that laminin hinders the mechanoresponses of breast epithelial cells by shielding the nucleus from mechanical deformation. Coating substrates with laminin-111-unlike fibronectin or collagen I-impairs cell response to substrate rigidity and YAP nuclear localization. Blocking the laminin-specific integrin β4 increases nuclear YAP ratios in a rigidity-dependent manner without affecting the cell forces or focal adhesions. By combining mechanical perturbations and mathematical modelling, we show that β4 integrins establish a mechanical linkage between the substrate and keratin cytoskeleton, which stiffens the network and shields the nucleus from actomyosin-mediated mechanical deformation. In turn, this affects the nuclear YAP mechanoresponses, chromatin methylation and cell invasion in three dimensions. Our results demonstrate a mechanism by which tissues can regulate their sensitivity to mechanical signals.
Enhancement of laser-driven electron acceleration in an ion channel

description: A long laser beam propagating through an underdense plasma produces a positively charged ion channel by expelling plasma electrons in the transverse direction. We consider the dynamics of a test electron in a resulting two-dimensional channel under the action of the laser field and the transverse electric field of the channel. A considerable enhancement of the axial momentum can be achieved in this case via amplification of betatron oscillations. It is shown that the oscillations can be parametrically amplified when the betatron frequency, which increases with the wave amplitude, becomes comparable to the frequency of its modulations. The modulations are caused by non-inertial (accelerated/decelerated) relativistic axial motion induced by the wave regardless of the angle between the laser electric field and the field of the channel. We have performed a parameter scan for a wide range of wave amplitudes and ion densities and we have found that, for a given density, there is a well pronounced wave amplitude threshold above which the maximum electron energy is considerably enhanced. We have also calculated a time-integrated electron spectrum produced by an ensemble of electrons with a spread in the initial transverse momentum. The numerical results show that the considerable energy enhancement is accompanied by spectrum broadening. The presented mechanism of energy enhancement is robust with respect to an axial increase of ion density, because it relies on a threshold phenomenon rather than on a narrow linear resonance.
Autistic Communication and Imagination Sub-Traits are Related to Audiovisual Temporal Integration in the Stream–Bounce Illusion

description: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by atypical social communication and restricted and repetitive behaviors; such traits are continuously distributed across nonclinical and clinical populations. Recently, relationships between ASD traits and low-level multisensory processing have been investigated, because atypical sensory reactivity has been regarded as a diagnostic criterion of ASD. Studies regarding an audiovisual illusion (the double-flash illusion) reported that social communication difficulties are related to temporal aspects of audiovisual integration. This study investigated whether similar relationships exist in another audiovisual illusion (the stream–bounce effect). In this illusion, two visual objects move toward each other, coincide, and pass each other, and the presentation of a transient sound at their coincidence induces a dominant perception that they bounce away from each other. Typically developing adults were recruited to perform experimental trials involving the stream–bounce effect. We measured their ASD traits using the Autism-Spectrum Quotient. The total quotient score was not related to any behavioral measurements of the effect. In contrast, for participants with higher difficulty in communication, the greatest magnitude of the stream–bounce effect occurred when the presentation timing of the sound tended to follow the visual coincidence. Participants with higher difficulty in imagination also showed the greatest magnitude of the effect when the presentation timing of the sound preceded that of the visual coincidence. Our findings regarding the stream–bounce effect, along with previous findings regarding the double-flash illusion, suggest that atypical temporal audiovisual integration is uniquely related to ASD sub-traits, especially in social communication.
Understanding Y(4274) and X(4320) in the $J/ψϕ$ invariant mass spectrum

description: In this work we study the structures near 4.3 GeV in the $J/ψϕ$ invariant mass spectra in B meson decay process $B^+\to J/ψϕK^+$ and two photon fusion process $γγ\to J/ψϕ$. The Y(4274) as a $D_sD_{s0}$ $(2317)$ molecular is studied in the Bethe-Salpeter equation approach with quasipotential approximation. The absence of Y(4274) in $γγ\to J/ψϕ$ channel can be well explained by the decay widths of Y(4274) decaying to $γγ$ and $J/ψϕ$. The distribution of mass difference released by CMS collaboration is reproduced by two resonances near 4.3 GeV, Y(4274) and X(4320). The different production mechanism suggests X(4320) observed in the B decay should be the missing $3^3P_1$ charmonium state $χ''_{c1}$ and different from X(4350) observed in two photon fusion which can be assigned as $χ''_{c2}$.

description: Eventually positive matrices are real matrices whose powers become and remain strictly positive. As such, eventually positive matrices are a fortiori matrix roots of positive matrices, which motivates us to study the matrix roots of primitive matrices. Using classical matrix function theory and Perron-Frobenius theory, we characterize, classify, and describe in terms of the real Jordan canonical form the $p$th-roots of eventually positive matrices.
