description: Functional variables are often used as predictors in regression problems. A commonly-used parametric approach, called {\it scalar-on-function regression}, uses the $\ltwo$ inner product to map functional predictors into scalar responses. This method can perform poorly when predictor functions contain undesired phase variability, causing phases to have disproportionately large influence on the response variable. One past solution has been to perform phase-amplitude separation (as a pre-processing step) and then use only the amplitudes in the regression model. Here we propose a more integrated approach, termed elastic functional regression model (EFRM), where phase-separation is performed inside the regression model, rather than as a pre-processing step. This approach generalizes the notion of phase in functional data, and is based on the norm-preserving time warping of predictors. Due to its invariance properties, this representation provides robustness to predictor phase variability and results in improved predictions of the response variable over traditional models. We demonstrate this framework using a number of datasets involving gait signals, NMR data, and stock market prices.

A spatial analog of the Ruelle-Takens-Newhouse scenario developing in reactive miscible fluids

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a theoretical study on pattern formation occurring in miscible fluids reacting by a second-order reaction $A + B \to S$ in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell under constant gravity. We have recently reported that concentration-dependent diffusion of species coupled with a frontal neutralization reaction can produce a multi-layer system where low density depleted zones could be embedded between the denser layers. This leads to the excitation of chemoconvective modes spatially separated from each other by a motionless fluid. In this paper, we show that the layers can interact via a diffusion mechanism. Since diffusively-coupled instabilities initially have different wavelengths, this causes a long-wave modulation of one pattern by another. We have developed a mathematical model which includes a system of reaction-diffusion-convection equations. The linear stability of a transient base state is studied by calculating the growth rate of the Lyapunov exponent for each unstable layer. Numerical simulations supported by the phase portrait reconstruction and Fourier spectra calculation have revealed that nonlinear dynamics consistently passes through (i) a perfect spatially periodic system of chemoconvective cells; (ii) a quasi-periodic system of the same cells; (iii) a disordered fingering structure. We show that in this system, the coordinate co-directed to the reaction front paradoxically plays the role of time, time itself acts as a bifurcation parameter, and a complete spatial analog of the Ruelle-Takens-Newhouse scenario of the chaos onset is observed.

description: The present study reports the role of pretreatment for the enhanced biodegradation of Low density polyethylene (LDPE) with Galleria mellonella (Greater waxworm). The pre-treatment of the LDPE film was carried out under solar radiation. The pretreated LDPE (PTLDPE) and untreated LDPE (UTLDPE) were characterized with AFM, FTIR and 1H NMR techniques. The qualitative analysis for the biodegradation of pretreated and untreated LDPE was examined by analyzing the Excreta residue (ER) of Galleria mellonella fed with LDPE. The mineralization of the ER of waxworm fed on Waxcomb (WC), UTLDPE and PTLDPE were studied by analysing the changes in physiochemical properties through FTIR, 1H NMR and GC-MS techniques in addition to weight loss percentage of PTLDPE and survival rates of the tested greater waxworms. Solar pre-treatment of LDPE led to increased surface roughness which favored the waxworms to feed voraciously on PTLDPE. The post degradation studies of Waxcomb (WC), PTLDPE and UTLDPE showed 92.03 ± 2.1%, 18.57 ± 1.8% and 55.8 ± 1.2% weight loss respectively. The FTIR, 1H NMR and GC-MS results confirms that the ER of waxworm fed on WC, UTLDPE and PTLDPE showed the presence of new carbonyl and alcoholic groups with increase in unsaturated hydrocarbon indicating enhanced mineralization of LDPE. The efficient mineralization of PTLDPE by waxworm was observed without affecting its survivability. A plausible mechanism of LDPE degradation has also been proposed. The rapid and cost effective biodegradation of PTLDPE through waxworm paves a new and facile route for hazardous plastic waste treatment.

description: Generally, the dissipationless Hall effect in solids requires time-reversal symmetry breaking (TRSB), where TRSB induced by external magnetic field results in ordinary Hall effect, while TRSB caused by spontaneous magnetization gives rise to anomalous Hall effect (AHE) which scales with the net magnetization. The AHE is therefore not expected in antiferromagnets with vanishing small magnetization. However, large AHE was recently observed in certain antiferromagnets with noncolinear spin structure and nonvanishing Berry curvature. Here, we report another origin of AHE in a layered antiferromagnet EuAl2Si2, namely the domain wall (DW) skew scattering with Weyl points near the Fermi level, in experiments for the first time. Interestingly, the DWs form a unique periodic stripe structure with controllable periodicity by external magnetic field, which decreases nearly monotonically from 975 nm at 0 T to 232 nm at 4 T. Electrons incident on DW with topological bound states experience strong asymmetric scattering, leading to a giant AHE, with the DW Hall conductivity (DWHC) at 2 K and 1.2 T reaching a record value of ~ 1,5100 S cm-1 among bulk systems and being two orders of magnitude larger than the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity. The observation not only sets a new paradigm for exploration of large anomalous Hall effect, but also provides potential applications in spintronic devices.

description: Globular clusters (GCs) in the outer Milky Way halo are important tracers of the assembly history of our Galaxy. Only a few of these objects show spreads in heavier elements beyond the canonical light-element variations that have essentially been found throughout the entire Galactic GC system, suggesting a more complex origin and evolution of these objects. Here, we present the first abundance analysis of three red giants in the remote ($R_{\rm GC}=38$ kpc) outer halo GC Palomar 15, based on medium-resolution spectra obtained with the Keck/ESI instrument. Our results ascertain a low iron abundance of $-$1.94$\pm$0.06 dex with no evidence of any significant abundance spreads, although this is based on low number statistics. Overall, abundance ratios of 16 species were measured, including carbon, Na, Al, $α$-peak (Mg,Si,Ca,Ti) and Fe-peak (Sc,V,Cr,Fe,Co,Ni) elements, and the three neutron-capture elements Sr, Ba, and Eu. The majority of abundances are compatible with those of halo field stars and those found in other GCs in the outer and inner halos at similar metallicity. Pal 15 is enhanced to [Mg/Fe]=0.45 dex, while other $α$-elements, Ca and Ti, are lower by 0.3 dex. Taking Mg as a representative for [$α$/Fe], and coupled with the lack of any significant spread in any of the studied elements we conclude that Pal 15 is typical of the outer halo, as is bolstered by its chemical similarity to the benchmark outer halo cluster NGC 7492. One star shows evidence of elevated Na and Al abundances, hinting at the presence of multiple stellar populations in this cluster.

description: We show that the Newton polytope of a polynomial has a strong impact on the distribution of its mass and zeros. The basic theme is that Newton polytopes determine allowed and forbidden regions for these distributions. We equip the space of (holomorphic) polynomials of degree $\leq p$ in $m$ complex variables with its usual $SU(m + 1)$-invariant Gaussian probability measure and then consider the conditional measure induced on the subspace of polynomials with fixed Newton polytope $P$. We then determine the asymptotics of the conditional expectation $E_{|N P}(Z^k)$ of simultaneous zeros of $k$ polynomials with Newton polytope $NP$ as $N \to \infty$. When $P = Σ$, the unit simplex, then it is obvious and well-known that the expected zero distribution $E_{|NΣ}(Z^k)$ is uniform relative to the Fubini-Study form. For a convex polytope $P\subset pΣ$, we show that there is an allowed region on which $N^{-k}E_{|N P}(Z^k)$ is asymptotically uniform as the scaling factor $N\to\infty$. However, the zeros have an exotic distribution in the complementary forbidden region, and when $k=m$, the expected percentage of simultaneous zeros in the forbidden region approaches 0 as $N\to\infty$, yielding a quantitative version of the Kouchnirenko-Bernstein theorem.

description: Aerobic biodegradation of biocomposites has been studied in both solid and liquid media. The research was concentrated on the biodegradation under aerobic and mesophilic conditions using poly-D-lactic acid (PDLA) and PDLA/cellulose microfibers (CMFs) samples as the sole carbon source. To determine the efficiency of the biodegradation, quantitative (mass variations, optical density (OD)) and qualitative (FTIR, NMR and SEM) analyses have been used to follow the polymer changes after degradation. The weight loss and OD of the biocomposites samples PDLA/CMFs were slower than that of pristine PDLA. The PDLA displayed the most important loss of weight (7.09%, 8.95%) compared to its initial weight and the lowest weight loss was detected in PDLA/CMF300 (1.04%, 2.19%) in solid and liquid mediums respectively. Also, the OD value of PDLA was increased from the seven days (0.381) to the last day (0.969). It appears that the major rate-determining factor affecting material degradation was its crystallinity without or with minimal assistance from abiotic factor because crystalline phases inhibit the diffusion of small water molecules. Otherwise, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated from Mediterranean soil has been found to be a novel candidate to biodegrade PDLA under mesophilic conditions.

description: The origin of subluminous B stars is still an unsolved problem in stellar evolution. Single star as well as close binary evolution scenarios have been invoked but until now have met with little success. We have carried out a small survey of spectroscopic binary candidates (19 systems consisting of an sdB star and late type companion) with the Planetary Camera of the WFPC2 onboard Hubble Space Telescope to test these scenarios. Monte Carlo simulations indicate that by imaging the programme stars in the R-band about one third of the sample (6-7 stars) should be resolved at a limiting angular resolution of 0.1" if they have linear separations like main sequence stars ("single star evolution"). None should be resolvable if all systems were produced by close binary evolution. In addition we expect three triple systems to be present in our sample. Most of these, if not all, should be resolvable. Components were resolved in 6 systems with separations between 0.2" and 4.5". However, only in two systems do the magnitudes of the resolved components match the expectations from the deconvolution of the spectral energy distribution. These two stars could be physical binaries whereas in the other cases the nearby star may be a chance projection or a third component. Radial velocity measurements indicate that the resolved system TON 139 is a triple system, with the sdB having a close companion that does not contribute detectably to the integrated light of the system. Accordingly the success rate would be only 5% which is clearly below the prediction for single star evolution. We conclude that the distribution of separations of sdB binaries deviates strongly from that of normal stars. Our results add further evidence that close binary evolution is fundamental for the evolution of sdB stars. (abbreviated)

description: Domain-specific hardware to solve computationally hard optimization problems has generated tremendous excitement. Here, we evaluate probabilistic bit (p-bit) based Ising Machines (IM) on the 3-regular 3-Exclusive OR Satisfiability (3R3X), as a representative hard optimization problem. We first introduce a multiplexed architecture that emulates all-to-all network functionality while maintaining highly parallelized chromatic Gibbs sampling. We implement this architecture in single Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) and show that running the adaptive parallel tempering algorithm demonstrates competitive algorithmic and prefactor advantages over alternative IMs by D-Wave, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. We also implement higher-order interactions that lead to better prefactors without changing algorithmic scaling for the XORSAT problem. Even though FPGA implementations of p-bits are still not quite as fast as the best possible greedy algorithms accelerated on Graphics Processing Units (GPU), scaled magnetic versions of p-bit IMs could lead to orders of magnitude improvements over the state of the art for generic optimization.

description: This study aimed to quantity total numbers of bacteria, fungi and archaea in different types of commercial liquid anaerobic digestates, and to identify common patterns in their microbial numbers post-digestion and possible implications of their use as biofertiliser. Relationships between microbial numbers and physical–chemical traits of the digestates were also investigated. Quantification was performed using culturable and molecular (quantitative PCR) approaches. Bacterial and fungal CFUs ranged up to five orders of magnitude (105–1010; 0–105 g−1 DW, respectively) between different types of anaerobic digestates. Bacterial, archaeal and fungal gene copy numbers (GCN) varied by two orders of magnitude (108–1010; 107–109; 104–106 g−1 DW, respectively) between digestates. All microbial variables analysed showed significant differences between the different types of anaerobic digestate investigated (p 4 CFU g−1 DW) were much lower than for bacteria (2.23 × 109 CFU g−1 DW). Gene copy numbers were highest for bacteria (16S) (1.09 × 1010 g−1 DW), followed by archaea (16S) (5.87 × 108 g−1 DW), and fungi (18S) (1.77 × 106 g−1 DW). Liquid anaerobic digestates were predominantly dominated by bacteria, followed by archaeal and fungal populations. At 50% similarity level, the microbial profiles of the eleven anaerobic digestates tested separated into just two groups, indicating a broad relative degree of similarity in terms of microbial numbers. Higher bacterial (16S) GCN was associated with low OM and C/N ratio in digestates.

description: Flood recovery is an important period in the flood risk management cycle. Recently, flood recovery has become viewed as an opportunity for future flood damage mitigation. Financial flows to cover flood damages and rules regarding their allocation are crucial for supporting or undermining mitigation efforts. In this paper, we map and compare state flood recovery funding in the so-called Visegrad Group Countries (V4), i.e. Czechia, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, over the past 30 years of their democratic history. We apply a qualitative comparative approach to identify differences and similarities in risk sharing and state flood recovery funding approaches among these countries. Additionally, we reveal how risk sharing is addressed by existing flood recovery funding schemes. The results indicate that national governments have a low willingness to institutionalise ex-ante compensation schemes. Ad hoc instruments initiated shortly after disastrous flooding usually do not provide incentives to reduce future flood damages.

The cases considered are M-fivebranes wrapped on (i) a complex Lagrangian four-cycle in a D=8 hyper-Kaehler manifold corresponding to a D=2 field theory with (2,1) supersymmetry (ii) a product of two holomorphic two-cycles in a product of two Calabi-Yau two-folds corresponding to a D=2 field theory with (2,2) supersymmetry and (iii) a product of a holomorphic two-cycle and a SLAG three-cycle in a product of a Calabi-Yau two-fold and a Calabi-Yau three-fold corresponding to a quantum mechanics with two supercharges. In each case we construct BPS equations and find IR superconformal fixed points corresponding to new examples of AdS/CFT duality arising from the twisted field theories.

description: We show that most classes of shift-symmetric degenerate higher-order scalar-tensor (DHOST) theories which satisfy certain degeneracy conditions are not compatible with the conditions for the existence of exact black hole solutions with a linearly time-dependent scalar field whose canonical kinetic term takes a constant value. Combined with constraints from the propagation speed of gravitational waves, our results imply that cubic DHOST theories are strongly disfavoured and that pure quadratic theories are likely to be the most viable class of DHOST theories. We find exact static and spherically symmetric (Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-(anti-)de Sitter) black hole solutions in all shift-symmetric higher-derivative scalar-tensor theories which contain up to cubic order terms of the second-order derivatives of the scalar field, especially the full class of Horndeski and Gleyzes-Langlois-Piazza-Vernizzi theories. After deriving the conditions for the coupling functions in the DHOST Lagrangian that allow the exact solutions, we clarify their compatibility with the degeneracy conditions.

description: Objective: To describe the prevalence, by weeks of gestation, of post-maturity signs in newborns by ethnic origins. Study design: Observational cohort study (2001–2018), of all consecutive singleton births delivered at Center Hospitalier Universitaire Hospitalier Sud Reunion’s maternity (Reunion Island, French overseas department, Indian Ocean). The presence of clinical post-maturity signs was recorded by a week of gestation using Clifford’s clinical post-maturity signs in newborns (desquamation, dry skin, wrinkling fingers and cracked skin). Results: Of the 67,463 singleton births during the period, 58,503 newborns were from Reunion island, 5756 were of European origin (mainland France), and 4061 newborns from the archipelago of Comoros (North of Madagascar). Mean duration of gestation was 276 days in Caucasian women, 272 days in Comorian mothers and 273 days in Reunionese (p p Conclusion: Among African (Black) pregnancies, duration of gestation was approximately 7 days shorter than in Caucasian (White) pregnancies. In the Reunionese intermixed population and Comorians, the gestation was shorter by 3–4 days. Black newborns presented severe clinical post-maturity signs beginning around 40 weeks and 4–6 days, while it was 1 week later in white infants. Consequences of these differences, with respect to clinical outcomes, are discussed.

description: Analytical continuation is a central step in the simulation of finite-temperature field theories in which numerically obtained Matsubara data is continued to the real frequency axis for physical interpretation. Numerical analytic continuation is considered to be an ill-posed problem where uncertainties on the Matsubara axis are aplified exponentially. Here, we present a systematic and controlled procedure that approximates any Matsubara function by a minimal pole representation to within a predefined precision. We then show systematic convergence to the exact spectral function on the real axis as a function of our control parameter for a range of physically relevant setups. Our methodology is robust to noise and paves the way towards reliable analytic continuation in many-body theory and, by providing access to the analytic structure of the functions, direct theoretical interpretation of physical properties.

description: Anoxic-aerobic sequential moving-bed reactors were operated for the degradation of synthetic petroleum refinery wastewater containing phenol (750 mg/L), hydrocarbons (1250 mg/L), S2− (750 mg/L), NH4+–N (350 mg/L), NO3–N (1000 mg/L) and surfactant as nonylphenol-monoethoxylate (0.2 mmol/L). Kerosene, heavy oil and their mixture were used as hydrocarbon source. Anoxic reactor was a disc-bed reactor and aerobic reactor was moving-bed reactor operated at hydraulic retention times (HRT) of 48 and 16 h respectively at 27 ± 3°C. In anoxic reactor, removals of S2− and NO3–N were more than 99% along with 50–60% removal of hydrocarbons and phenol. Removal of organics deteriorated in anoxic reactor with heavy oil in feed having higher density and viscosity. Residual organics and NH4+–N were removed in aerobic reactor with more than 99% efficiency. Biomass activity decreased in anoxic reactor and increased in aerobic reactor with an increase in density and viscosity of hydrocarbon in feed. Abiotic study confirmed most of the removals were due to biodegradation.

description: Relations between the string topology of Chas and Sullivan and the homotopy skein modules of Hoste and Przytycki are studied. This provides new insight into the structure of homotopy skein modules and their meaning in the framework of quantum topology. Our results can be considered as weak extensions to all orientable 3-manifolds of classical results by Turaev and Goldman concerning intersection and skein theory on oriented surfaces.

description: This study examines the role of the various mechanisms that are employed to smooth consumption in village economies in less developed countries. Since intra-temporal remittances are only capable of smoothing the idiosyncratic component of risk, we include inter-temporal smoothing mechanisms into our analysis that are capable of smoothing the aggregate risk component. We develop a theoretical framework for our analysis that integrates two central strands of the village economy literature, risk sharing and buffer-stock saving. Using this framework we ask if transfers are targeted to liquidity constrained households, and we examine the relative use of the two types of mechanism by adding transaction costs in the use of intra-temporal remittances. We also analyze the relationship between remittances, household income and asset holdings using simulated data generated from the mode1. Our results suggest that within a risk sharing framework, remittances will be targeted to liquidity constrained households only under certain conditions; that there will be a positive relationship between asset accumulation and remittances; and that household income will be inversely related to remittances.

description: In order to alleviate the computational costs of fully quantum nonadiabatic dynamics, we present a mixed quantum-classical (MQC) particle method based on the theory of Koopman wavefunctions. Although conventional MQC models often suffer from consistency issues such as the violation of Heisenberg's principle, we overcame these difficulties by blending Koopman's classical mechanics on Hilbert spaces with methods in symplectic geometry. The resulting continuum model enjoys both a variational and a Hamiltonian structure, while its nonlinear character calls for suitable closures. Benefiting from the underlying action principle, here we apply a regularization technique previously developed within our team. This step allows for a singular solution ansatz which introduces the trajectories of computational particles - the koopmons - sampling the Lagrangian classical paths in phase space. In the case of Tully's nonadiabatic problems, the method reproduces the results of fully quantum simulations with levels of accuracy that are not achieved by standard MQC Ehrenfest simulations. In addition, the koopmon method is computationally advantageous over similar fully quantum approaches, which are also considered in our study. As a further step, we probe the limits of the method by considering the Rabi problem in both the ultrastrong and the deep strong coupling regimes, where MQC treatments appear hardly applicable. In this case, the method succeeds in reproducing parts of the fully quantum results.

description: Gravitational waves from binary neutron star coalescences contain rich information about matter at supranuclear densities encoded by the neutron star equation of state. We can measure the equation of state by analyzing the tidal interactions between neutron stars, which is quantified by the tidal deformability. Multiple merger events are required to probe the equation of state over a range of neutron star masses. The more events included in the analysis, the stronger the constraints on the equation of state. In this paper, we build on previous work to explore the constraints that LIGO and Virgo are likely to place on the neutron star equation of state by combining the first forty binary neutron star detections, a milestone we project to be reached during the first year of accumulated design-sensitivity data. We carry out Bayesian inference on a realistic mock dataset of binaries to obtain posterior distributions for neutron star tidal parameters. In order to combine posterior samples from multiple observations, we employ a random forest regressor, which allows us to efficiently interpolate the likelihood distribution. Assuming a merger rate of 1540 Gpc$^{-3}$ yr$^{-1}$ and a LIGO-Virgo detector network operating for one year at the sensitivity of the third-observation run, plus an additional eight months of design sensitivity, we find that the radius of a 1.4 $M_\odot$ neutron star can be constrained to $\sim 10$% at 90% confidence. At the same time, the pressure at twice the nuclear saturation density can be constrained to $\sim 45$ % at 90% confidence. Finally, we add an appendix following publication of the paper in the journal, showing the posterior distribution of the maximum neutron star mass allowed by the equation of state. We find that the maximum mass can be constrained to $\sim 0.3$ $M_\odot$ at 90% confidence.
