description: SBS0335-052 is a blue compact dwarf galaxy (BCD) with one of the lowest known metallicities, Z$\sim$Z$_{\sun}$/41, making it a local example of how primordial starburst galaxies and their precursors might appear. A spectrum obtained with the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on the Spitzer Space Telescope clearly shows silicate absorption features, emission lines of [SIV] and [NeIII], and puts strong upper limits on the PAH emission features. The observed low resolution spectrum (R~90) extends from 5.3 to 35microns and peaks at ~28microns. The spectrum is compared to IRS observations of the prototypical starburst nucleus NGC7714. SBS0335-052 is quite unlike normal starburst galaxies, which show strong PAH bands, low ionization emission lines, and a continuum peak near 80microns. The continuum difference for $λ>30 μ$m implies a substantial reduction in the mass of cold dust. If the spectrum of this very low metallicity galaxy is representative of star forming galaxies at higher redshifts, it may be difficult to distinguish them from AGNs which also show relatively featureless flat spectra in the mid-IR.

description: The so-called block-term decomposition (BTD) tensor model has been recently receiving increasing attention due to its enhanced ability of representing systems and signals that are composed of \emph{blocks} of rank higher than one, a scenario encountered in numerous and diverse applications. Its uniqueness and approximation have thus been thoroughly studied. Nevertheless, the challenging problem of estimating the BTD model structure, namely the number of block terms and their individual ranks, has only recently started to attract significant attention. In this paper, a novel method of BTD model selection and computation is proposed, based on the idea of imposing column sparsity \emph{jointly} on the factors and in a \emph{hierarchical} manner and estimating the ranks as the numbers of factor columns of non-negligible magnitude. Following a block successive upper bound minimization (BSUM) approach for the proposed optimization problem is shown to result in an alternating hierarchical iteratively reweighted least squares (HIRLS) algorithm, which is fast converging and enjoys high computational efficiency, as it relies in its iterations on small-sized sub-problems with closed-form solutions. Simulation results for both synthetic examples and a hyper-spectral image de-noising application are reported, which demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme over the state-of-the-art in terms of success rate in rank estimation as well as computation time and rate of convergence.

description: The experiment was conducted to study the effect of feeding urea molasses block on the productive and reproductive performance of Black Bengal Doe. In the present experiment, twelve does were blocked according to live weight and the blocked groups were assigned to four groups having 3 replications into each. Among these four groups, one group was assigned to control feeding (6 hours grazing) and another three groups were assigned to UMB feeding. These 3 treatments (Ti, T2, & T3) were 50 g, 100 g and 150 g UMB with 6 hours grazing respectively. Live weight of individual doe was recorded fortnightly and live weight of individual kid was recorded weekly to study their growth rate. Average initial live weight, live weight at first kidding and final live weight of To, T1, T2, and T3 were 11.63, 15.4 and 13.0 kg; 11.6, 15.9 and 14.4 kg; 11.6, 16.2 and 15.3 kg and 11.6, 15.6 and 14.3 kg respectively but the final weight differed significantly (p<0.05) among the treatment groups.. The average live weight gain of kid for treatments To, T1, T2, and T3 were 53.22, 67.51, 84.31 and 74.79 g/d respectively. Daily live weight gain was significantly (p<0.01) higher in UMB supplemented groups than control group. Milk yield also significantly (p<0.01) differed between the control and UMB supplemented group which valued 190, 224, 275 and 225 ml/day for To, T1, T2, and T3 treatments respectively. The average post partum heat period of treatments To, T1, T2, and T3 were 110, 88.6, 50.0 and 61.6 days respectively, which differed significantly (p<0.01). Cost benefit ratio estimated was 1:2.00, 1:2.50, 1:2.66 and 1:2.12 for the aforesaid treatments respectively. In conclusion, among 4 treatments overall performances of 100 g UMB/d fed goats were more satisfactory than others.

description: In this study we present a unified phenomenological analysis of the scalar glueball and scalar meson spectra within an AdS/QCD framework in the bottom up approach. For this purpose we generalize the recently developed graviton soft-wall (GSW) model, which has shown an excellent agreement with the lattice QCD glueball spectrum, to a description of glueballs and mesons with a unique energy scale. In this scheme, dilatonic effects, are incorporated in the metric as a deformation of the AdS space. We apply the model also to the heavy meson spectra with success. We obtain quadratic mass equations for all scalar mesons while the glueballs satisfy an almost linear mass equation. Besides their spectra, we also discuss the mixing of scalar glueball and light scalar meson states within a unified framework: the GSW model. To this aim, the light-front holographic approach, which connects the mode functions of AdS/QCD to the light-front wave functions, is applied. This relation provides the probabilistic interpretation required to properly investigate the mixing conditions.

description: During a full body illusion (FBI), participants experience a change in self-location towards a body that they see in front of them from a third-person perspective and experience touch to originate from this body. Multisensory integration is thought to underlie this illusion. In the present study we tested the redundant signals effect (RSE) as a new objective measure of the illusion that was designed to directly tap into the multisensory integration underlying the illusion. The illusion was induced by an experimenter who stroked and tapped the participant’s shoulder and underarm, while participants perceived the touch on the virtual body in front of them via a head-mounted display. Participants performed a speeded detection task, responding to visual stimuli on the virtual body, to tactile stimuli on the real body and to combined (multisensory) visual and tactile stimuli. Analysis of the RSE with a race model inequality test indicated that multisensory integration took place in both the synchronous and the asynchronous condition. This surprising finding suggests that simultaneous bodily stimuli from different (visual and tactile) modalities will be transiently integrated into a multisensory representation even when no illusion is induced. Furthermore, this finding suggests that the RSE is not a suitable objective measure of body illusions. Interestingly however, responses to the unisensory tactile stimuli in the speeded detection task were found to be slower and had a larger variance in the asynchronous condition than in the synchronous condition. The implications of this finding for the literature on body representations are discussed.

description: When a photon with well-defined polarization and momentum passes through a focusing device, these properties are no longer well defined. Their loss is captured by describing polarization by a 3x3 effective density matrix. Here we show that the effective density matrix corresponds to the actual photodetection model and we provide a simple formula to calculate it in terms of classical fields. Moreover, we explore several possible experimental consequences of the "longitudinal" term: limits on single-photon detection efficiency, polarization-dependent atomic transitions rates and the implications on quantum information processing.

description: We theoretically study the structure of a stationary soliton in the polar phase of spin-1 Bose--Einstein condensate in the presence of quadratic Zeeman effect at zero temperature. The phase diagram of such solitons is mapped out by finding the states of minimal soliton energy in the defining range of polar phase. The states are assorted into normal, anti-ferromagnetic, broken-axisymmetry, and ferromagnetic phases according to the number and spin densities in the core. The order of phase transitions between different solitons and the critical behaviour of relevant continuous transitions are proved within the mean-field theory.

description: To assess the quality of sweetened condensed milk of Bangladesh, four different brands of sweetened condensed milk were selected viz. Danish, Fresh milk, Star ship and Goalini. Five samples were analyzed for physical (organoleptic), chemical and microbiological qualities. From the physical test, it was observed that all samples were in good grade i.e. fresh, free from odour, viscous and smooth, rich cream to yellow in color and very sweet in taste .The average physical score was 88.20±4.15, 86.20±3.90, 89.20±3.90 and 87.60±5.55 for Danish, Fresh milk, Starship and Goalini, respectively, and these were not differ significantly (p>0.05). Sweetened condensed milk had a titrable acidity of 0.146 to 0.155 % and fat 78.40 to 78.80 (g/kg) that were not significant (p>0.05) for all brand of milk. Whereas significant (p<0.05 to p<0.01) difference was found for protein (g/kg) 75.50±0.02, 67.84±0.23, 78.54±0.07 and 74.04±0.13; ash (g/kg) 15.00±0.07, 16.60±0.06, 17.02±0.04, carbohydrate (g/kg) 550.76±0.38, 544.16±0.69, 553.58±0.034 and 545.70±0.46 and Total solids (g/kg) 720.86±0.60, 706.35±0.53, 727.14±0.52 and 715.84±0.52 for Danish, fresh milk, Starship and Goalini respectively. The total viable count was in the range of 13.60+2.51 and 16.60±2.41(102/g) and no. coliform bacteria were found. Among the brands no difference was found in physical test, but considering chemical properties star-ship was better than others.

We present the numerical results obtained from the type of spin-correlation imposed by the existence of the single-spin left-right asymmetries. We compare the results with the available data and make predictions for future experiments.

description: With the proliferation of ultra-high-speed mobile networks and internet-connected devices, along with the rise of artificial intelligence, the world is generating exponentially increasing amounts of data - data that needs to be processed in a fast, efficient and smart way. These developments are pushing the limits of existing computing paradigms, and highly parallelized, fast and scalable hardware concepts are becoming progressively more important. Here, we demonstrate a computational specific integrated photonic tensor core - the optical analog of an ASIC-capable of operating at Tera-Multiply-Accumulate per second (TMAC/s) speeds. The photonic core achieves parallelized photonic in-memory computing using phase-change memory arrays and photonic chip-based optical frequency combs (soliton microcombs). The computation is reduced to measuring the optical transmission of reconfigurable and non-resonant passive components and can operate at a bandwidth exceeding 14 GHz, limited only by the speed of the modulators and photodetectors. Given recent advances in hybrid integration of soliton microcombs at microwave line rates, ultra-low loss silicon nitride waveguides, and high speed on-chip detectors and modulators, our approach provides a path towards full CMOS wafer-scale integration of the photonic tensor core. While we focus on convolution processing, more generally our results indicate the major potential of integrated photonics for parallel, fast, and efficient computational hardware in demanding AI applications such as autonomous driving, live video processing, and next generation cloud computing services.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Scattering and absorption properties at optical and ultraviolet wavelengths are calculated for an interstellar dust model consisting of carbonaceous grains and amorphous silicate grains. Polarization as a function of scattering angle is calculated for selected wavelengths from the IR to the vacuum UV. The widely-used Henyey-Greenstein phase function provides a good approximation for the scattering phase function between ~0.4 and 1 micron, but fails to fit the calculated phase functions at shorter wavelengths and longer wavelengths. A new analytic phase function is presented. It is exact at long wavelengths, and provides a good fit to the numerically-calculated phase function for lambda > 0.27um. Observational determinations of the scattering albedo and show considerable disagreement, especially in the ultraviolet. Possible reasons for this are discussed.
description: ApJ, accepted. 19 pages, 10 figures. This version includes a new analytic scattering phase function which is an improvement on the Henyey-Greenstein phase function. Sections on X-ray scattering in previous version of this astro-ph submission have been relocated to a separate paper (Draine 2003: astro-ph/0308251)

description: It is known that if $p>37$ is a prime number and $E/\mathbb{Q}$ is an elliptic curve without complex multiplication, then the image of the mod $p$ Galois representation $$ \barρ_{E,p}:\operatorname{Gal}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}}/\mathbb{Q})\rightarrow \operatorname{GL}(E[p]) $$ of $E$ is either the whole of $\operatorname{GL}(E[p])$, or is \emph{contained} in the normaliser of a non-split Cartan subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}(E[p])$. In this paper, we show that when $p>1.4\times 10^7$, the image of $\barρ_{E,p}$ is either $\operatorname{GL}(E[p])$, or the \emph{full} normaliser of a non-split Cartan subgroup. We use this to show the following result, partially settling a question of Najman. For $d\geq 1$, let $I(d)$ denote the set of primes $p$ for which there exists an elliptic curve defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ and without complex multiplication admitting a degree $p$ isogeny defined over a number field of degree $\leq d$. We show that, for $d\geq 1.4\times 10^7$, we have $$ I(d)=\{p\text{ prime}:p\leq d-1\}. $$

description: We derive simple forms for saddle-node singular points of analytic foliations in the real or complex plane just by gluing foliated complex manifolds. We give the versal analytic deformation of the simplest model. We also derive a unique analytic form for those saddle-node having a central manifold. By this way, we recover and generalize results earlier proved by J. Ecalle by using mould theory and partially answer to some questions asked by J. Martinet and J.-P. Ramis in the 80's.

description: The experiment was conducted to find out semen quantity and quality in relation to age, body weight and scrotal circumference (SC) of Black Bengal buck, the most important goat breed in Bangladesh. Semen was collected from four bucks by the method of ariificial vagina (AV). After collection semen was evaluated for volume per ejaculate (ml), mass motility (%), individual motility (%), morphology (% normal and abnormal sperm) and concentration (million/cc) in relation to age, body weight and SC. Age, body weight and SC of four different bucks were 34 to 45 months, 20.0 to 33.6 kg and 20.1 to 21.0 cm, respectively. The mean volumes per ejaculate were 0.4±0.03 to 0.5±0.22 ml and mass motility was found 76.0±1.5 to 78.0±1.1%. On the other hand individual motility in terms of progressive, oscillatory and rotatory were 65.7±0.1 to 68.0±1.3%, 5.0±0.6 to 6.1±0.4% and 4.0±0.4% to 5.4±0.3%, respectively. While the (normal and abnormal sperm) and sperm concentration were found to be 89.7±0.35 to 91.2±0.4% and 8.8±0.4 to 10.3±0.4% and 2434.0±52.8 to 2853.0±90.1 (million/ml), respectively.

description: Medicinal plants are becoming very popular for the treatment of different diseases all over the world. Some medicinal plants are being used for the treatment of diabetes. The present study investigated the effects of Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) leaves in terms of their hypoglycemic activity and effects of Glimepiride (800pg/kg ) considered as a standard drug. The' effects of aqueous extracts of Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) leaves was evaluated in the Streptozotocin (STZ; 55 mg/kg b. wt., as single intraperitoneal injection) induced diabetic rats and for this, test extracts were administered orally once a day, after 15 days of STZ-dosing, at lml/kg, 2m1/kg and 3m1/kg b. wt. dose levels for 3 weeks. CharTges in the blood glucose levels and body weights were measured and the results were compared statistically with control group by using Student's unpaired t-test. The aqueous extracts of Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) leaves, like Glimepiride although less, showed significant (p<0.05) hypoglycemic effect and extracts at 3m1/kg b. wt. showed more potent effects. The extracts also nonsignificantly (P>0.05) reduced body weight, as compared to the significant (p<0.001) increasing body weight effect of Glimepiride. From this experiment it was observed that Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni) leaves extracts had hypoglycemic and body weight reducing effect. Detail study is needed for definite conclusion.
Physical limits to the validity of synthesis models: The Lowest Luminosity Limit

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: (abriged) In this paper we establish a Lowest Luminosity Limit (LLL) for the use of synthesis codes. The limit is defined by the following statement: The total luminosity of the cluster modeled must be larger than the individual contribution of any of the stars included in the assumed isochrones. This limit is independent of the assumptions on the IMF and almost independent on the star formation history. We have obtained the LLL for a wide range of ages (5 Myr to 20 Gyr) and metallicities (Z=0 to Z=0.019) from Girardi et al. (2002) isochrones. Using the LLL and the results of evolutionary synthesis models we have also obtained the minimal cluster mass, Mmin, for which the results of synthesis models may suffer from a severe bias in the computation of colors. We show that the results of synthesis models for clusters with mass equal to Mmin have a relative dispersion about or larger than 32% (i.e. a dispersion of 0.35 mag) in the corresponding photometric bands. This effect is more important for near infrared bands (except in the case where Asymptotic Giant Branch stars dominate the luminosity in optical bands). In particular, Mmin takes values between 10^4 and 10^5 Mo for the K band. From the observational point of view, we show that in surveys that reach luminosities near the LLL, the color distributions will be skewed toward the color with lower effective sources (toward the red in general), and that the skewness is a signature of the distribution of initial cluster masses in the survey. We also apply the LLL to Globular Clusters showing that sampling effects are relevant in these clusters and that they can explain (at least partially) the bias of the observed colors with respect to the predictions of synthesis models.

description: Machine learning models for radiology benefit from large-scale data sets with high quality labels for abnormalities. We curated and analyzed a chest computed tomography (CT) data set of 36,316 volumes from 19,993 unique patients. This is the largest multiply-annotated volumetric medical imaging data set reported. To annotate this data set, we developed a rule-based method for automatically extracting abnormality labels from free-text radiology reports with an average F-score of 0.976 (min 0.941, max 1.0). We also developed a model for multi-organ, multi-disease classification of chest CT volumes that uses a deep convolutional neural network (CNN). This model reached a classification performance of AUROC greater than 0.90 for 18 abnormalities, with an average AUROC of 0.773 for all 83 abnormalities, demonstrating the feasibility of learning from unfiltered whole volume CT data. We show that training on more labels improves performance significantly: for a subset of 9 labels - nodule, opacity, atelectasis, pleural effusion, consolidation, mass, pericardial effusion, cardiomegaly, and pneumothorax - the model's average AUROC increased by 10% when the number of training labels was increased from 9 to all 83. All code for volume preprocessing, automated label extraction, and the volume abnormality prediction model will be made publicly available. The 36,316 CT volumes and labels will also be made publicly available pending institutional approval.

description: Despite substantial research on the economic impacts of Bt cotton, there is still limited work on the technology s impacts on human health, particularly the impacts associated with reductions in pesticide use. Using household and biophysical survey data collected in 2013-14, this study provides the first evidence of a direct association between Bt expression and farmers health benefits in Pakistan. We employ a cost-of-illness approach and double-hurdle model to estimate the relationship between Bt cotton and health costs incurred by a representative sample of cotton farmers. Double hurdle estimates show that farmers self-reported adoption of Bt technology could not reduce pesticide induced cost of illness due to inconsistencies between their Bt beliefs and levels of Bt expression in a developing country context. Results with more effective Bt gene expression drawn from laboratory tests show that Bt expression is associated with 33 percent reduction in the cost of illness. Extrapolating the results to the entire Bt cotton area in Pakistan reveals that 1 ?g/g increase in Bt expression is associated with health cost savings of US$ 0.82 million. Hence, better seed regulation and monitoring of seed quality would enhance Bt technology s health effects, which could have important implications for farmers overall welfare.

description: This paper deals with wall elements from massive timber, which are modified for thermal activation – multifunctional cross laminated timber (multifunctional CLT). This wood product is currently developed towards maturity for application, by determining e.g. the mechanical properties. The multifunctional CLT elements feature channels in which conditioned air circulates, reducing the cross-sectional area. In this paper we investigate e.g. the compression strength and stiffness, the buckling load, the in-plane shear strength and stiffness and the torsional stiffness properties of multifunctional CLT by means of extensive series of mechanical testing. In addition, the deformation behavior of multifunctional CLT under moisture changes as well as possible cracking in the front layers will be analyzed.
