description: This report describes Phase I of a two-phase study proposed and organized by the NOAA Climate Program Office (CPO) in early 2014 for the development of a NOAA Holistic Climate and Earth System Modeling Strategy. Defining NOAA’s strategy for global climate and earth system modeling for research and operations allows NOAA’s investments in this area to be optimally targeted and leveraged, facilitates linkages with broader environmental modeling efforts within NOAA and outside of NOAA, and enhances NOAA’s participation in the interagency Earth System Prediction Capability initiative. A strategy also helps to identify gaps and opportunities to advance NOAA’s global climate and earth system models and identify resources and synergies needed to maximize the return on those investments. In addition, the 2012 National Research Council report on “A National Strategy for Advancing Climate Modeling” prompts a careful reconsideration of NOAA’s strategy in this area. Phase I defines the current state of, and plans for, NOAA’s global climate and earth system models, developed at the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, the Earth System Research Laboratory, and the National Centers for Environmental Prediction Environmental Modeling Center. This report lays the necessary groundwork for the planned second phase of the CPO proposed study whose ultimate goal is to present potential future model development pathways contributing to the definition of a holistic strategy to advance NOAA global climate and earth system models for research and operations.

description: Sometimes a hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra admits an automorphic correction, meaning a generalized Kac-Moody algebra with the same real simple roots and whose denominator function has good automorphic properties; these for example allow one to work out the root multiplicities. Gritsenko and Nikulin have formalized this in their theory of Lorentzian Lie algebras and shown that the real simple roots must satisfy certain conditions in order for the algebra to admit an automorphic correction. We classify the hyperbolic root systems of rank 3 that satisfy their conditions and have only finite many simple roots, or equivalently a timelike Weyl vector. There are 994 of them, with as many as 24 simple roots. Patterns in the data suggest that some of the non-obvious cases may be the richest.
description: This is the unabridged version of the paper of the same title, which will appear in the Bulletin of the LMS. This version has the full table of root systems, rather than just those with 4 simple roots. It also has an additional explanatory example and a computer-readable version of the table (commented out in the TeX file)

description: Microvesicles can transfer their contents, proteins and RNA, to target cells and thereby transform them. This may induce apoptosis or survival depending on cell origin and the target cell. In this study, we investigate the effect of leukemic cell microvesicles on umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells to seek evidence of apoptosis or cell survival. Microvesicles were isolated from both healthy donor bone marrow samples and Jurkat cells by ultra-centrifugation and were added to hematopoietic stem cells sorted from umbilical cord blood samples by magnetic associated cell sorting (MACS) technique. After 7 days, cell count, cell viability, flow cytometry analysis for hematopoietic stem cell markers and qPCR for P53 gene expression were performed. The results showed higher cell number, higher cell viability rate and lower P53 gene expression in leukemia group in comparison with normal and control groups. Also, CD34 expression as the most important hematopoietic stem cell marker, did not change during the treatment and lineage differentiation was not observed. In conclusion, this study showed anti-apoptotic effect of leukemia cell derived microvesicles on umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells.

description: Semi-device-independent quantum protocols realize information tasks - e.g. secure key distribution, random access coding, and randomness generation - in a scenario where no assumption on the internal working of the devices used in the protocol is made, except their dimension. These protocols offer two main advantages: first, their implementation is often less demanding than fully-device-independent protocols. Second, they are more secure than their device-dependent counterparts. Their classical analogous is represented by random access codes, which provide a general framework for describing one-sided classical communication tasks. We discuss conditions under which detection inefficiencies can be exploited by a malicious provider to fake the performance of semi-device-independent quantum and classical protocols - and how to prevent it.

description: Cosmological parameters from WMAP 7 year data are re-analyzed by substituting a pixel-based likelihood estimator to the one delivered publicly by the WMAP team. Our pixel based estimator handles exactly intensity and polarization in a joint manner, allowing to use low-resolution maps and noise covariance matrices in $T,Q,U$ at the same resolution, which in this work is 3.6$^\circ$. We describe the features and the performances of the code implementing our pixel-based likelihood estimator. We perform a battery of tests on the application of our pixel based likelihood routine to WMAP publicly available low resolution foreground cleaned products, in combination with the WMAP high-$\ell$ likelihood, reporting the differences on cosmological parameters evaluated by the full WMAP likelihood public package. The differences are not only due to the treatment of polarization, but also to the marginalization over monopole and dipole uncertainties implemented in the WMAP 7 year pixel likelihood code for temperature. The credible central value for the cosmological parameters change below the 1 $σ$ level with respect to the evaluation by the full WMAP 7 year likelihood code, with the largest difference in a shift to smaller values of the scalar spectral index $n_S$.

description: To benefit from the use of a waste product such as pine sawdust from a sawmill in Michoacán, Mexico, five different pretreatments for the production of reducing sugars by enzymatic hydrolysis were evaluated (sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, steam explosion, organosolv and combined method nitric acid / sodium hydroxide). The main finding of the study was that the pretreatment with 6 % HNO3 and 1 % NaOH led to better yields than those obtained with sodium hydroxide, dilute sulfuric acid, steam explosion, and organosolv pretreatments. Also, HNO3 yields were maximized by the factorial method. With those results the maxima concentration of reducing sugar found was 97.83 ± 1.59, obtained after pretreatment with 7.5 % HNO3 at 120 °C for 30 minutes; followed by 1 % of NaOH at 90 °C for 30 minutes at pH 4.5 for 168 hours with a load enzyme of 25 FPU/g of total carbohydrates. Comparing the results obtained by the authors with those reported in the literature, the combined method was found to be suitable for use in the exploitation of sawdust.

description: We show for even positive integers $n$ that the quotient of the Riemann zeta values $ζ(n+1)$ and $ζ(n)$ satisfies the equation $$\frac{ζ(n+1)}{ζ(n)} = (1-\frac{1}{n}) (1-\frac{1}{2^{n+1}-1}) \frac{\mathcal{L}^\star(\mathfrak{p}_n)}{\mathfrak{p}_n'(0)},$$ where $\mathfrak{p}_n \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ is a certain monic polynomial of degree $n$ and $\mathcal{L}^\star: \mathbb{C}[x] \to \mathbb{C}$ is a linear functional, which is connected with a special Dirichlet series. There exists the decomposition $\mathfrak{p}_n(x) = x(x+1) \mathfrak{q}_n(x)$. If $n = p+1$ where $p$ is an odd prime, then $\mathfrak{q}_n$ is an Eisenstein polynomial and therefore irreducible over $\mathbb{Z}[x]$.

description: The preserved successions from the Mesoproterozoic Era (1600 to 1000 Ma) are a relatively understudied part of Australian geological evolution, especially considering that this era has a greater time span than the entire Phanerozoic. These rocks are mostly known in variably-preserved sedimentary basins overlying Paleoproterozoic or Archean cratons or at the margins of these cratons. Some metamorphosed equivalents occur within the orogens between or marginal to these cratons. Both energy and mineral resources are hosted in Australian Mesoproterozoic basins, including the highly-prospective organic rich shale units within the Beetaloo Sub-basin (Northern Territory), which form part of the Beetaloo Petroleum Supersystem. The primary aim for this record is to provide a consolidated state of knowledge of Australian basins or successions similar in age to that of the Mesoproterozoic Beetaloo Petroleum Supersystem. The findings of this report will assist prioritising future work, through improved geological understanding and resource prospectivity. This report presents an overview of 14 Mesoproterozoic-age sedimentary basins or successions and their current level of understanding, including location, basin architecture, stratigraphy and depositional environments, age constraints and mineral and energy resources. Basins or successions included in this record are unmetamorphosed or metamorphosed to very low-grade conditions. Recommendations are made for future work to address the main knowledge gaps identified from this review. While some of these basins have been the focus of recent intense study and data acquisition, the extent of knowledge varies broadly across basins. All basins reviewed in this record would benefit from further geochemical and geochronological analyses, and stratigraphic study to better understand the timing of depositional events and their correlation with nearby basins. Elucidation of the post-depositional history of alteration, migration of fluids and/or hydrocarbons would facilitate future exploration and resource evaluation.

description: We discuss the problem of the quantization and dynamic evolution of a scalar free field in the interior of a Schwarzschild black hole. A unitary approach to the dynamics of the quantized field is proposed: a time-dependent Hamiltonian governing the Heisenberg equations is derived. It is found that the system is represented by a set of harmonic oscillators coupled via terms corresponding to the creation and annihilation of pairs of particles and that the symmetry properties of the spacetime, homogeneity and isotropy are obeyed by the coupling terms in the Hamiltonian. It is shown that Heisenberg equations for annihilation and creation operators are transformed into ordinary differential equations for appropriate Bogolyubov coefficients. Such a formulation leads to a general question concerning the possibility of gravitationally driven instability, that is however excluded in this case.

description: The CBFA2T3-GLIS2 fusion oncogene is found in 18.4% of non-Down syndrome (DS) acute megakaryoblastic leukemia (AMKL) patients and is the oncogenic driver. These patients have the worst prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia patients (AML), having only a 14% overall survival, even with current treatments of chemotherapy and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. These poor treatment outcomes highlight the need for novel therapies for AMKL. Recent novel therapies in other cancers engineer the immune system to target cancerous cells. These therapies include monoclonal antibodies, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T), and engineered T-cell receptor T-cell (TCR-T) therapies that function by binding to tumor-specific or tumor-associated antigens and stimulating a cytotoxic immune response. However, in the context of AMKL, there are currently no immunotherapy options. To explore potential AMKL targetable antigens, we screened the surfaceome of CBFA2T3-GLIS2+ patient cells that were expanded in a patient-derived xenograft (PDX) murine model. We eluted peptides from surface HLA:peptide complexes and utilized mass spectrometry for immunopeptidomics analysis. We identified 242 total peptides, 141 of which were not found in the human ligand atlas, indicating these peptides are leukemia-specific and not presented on normal cells. Of particular interest, we found a peptide from the BMP2 protein, which we have shown contributes to CBFA2T3-GLIS2 driven enhanced self-renewal, and a peptide from the DDX3X protein, which has been reported immunogenic in melanoma.

In an additional PDX murine model, mice engrafted with patient AMKL cells received healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a 6/6 HLA class I match individual. We observed variable reduction in leukemic burden and found those with the most significant reduction also showed a decrease in TCR clonotype diversity, suggesting the healthy T cells underwent clonal expansion directed against leukemia antigens. The clonally expanded TCRs were cloned into expression vectors and will be overexpressed in human CD8+ T cells to test functional response against artificial antigen-presenting cells (aAPCs) presenting the aforementioned peptides of interest through tandem minigene (TMG) assays and peptide stimulation assays. The identification of AMKL- directed effector CD8+ T cells and their corresponding immunogenic antigens will contribute towards the development of an immunotherapy for AMKL to improve patient outcomes.

description: Precise measurement of Higgs boson couplings is an important task for International Linear Collider (ILC) experiments and will facilitate the understanding of the particle mass generation mechanism. In this study, the measurement accuracies of the Higgs boson branching fractions to the $b$ and $c$ quarks and gluons, $ΔBr(H\to b\bar{b},\sim c\bar{c},\sim gg)/Br$, were evaluated with the full International Large Detector model (\texttt{ILD\_00}) for the Higgs mass of 120 GeV at the center-of-mass (CM) energies of 250 and 350 GeV using neutrino, hadronic and leptonic channels and assuming an integrated luminosity of $250 {\rm fb^{-1}}$, and an electron (positron) beam polarization of -80% (+30%). We obtained the following measurement accuracies of the Higgs cross section times branching fraction ($Δ(σ\cdot Br)/σ\cdot Br$) for decay of the Higgs into $b\bar{b}$, $c\bar{c}$, and $gg$; as 1.0%, 6.9%, and 8.5% at a CM energy of 250 GeV and 1.0%, 6.2%, and 7.3% at 350 GeV, respectively. After the measurement accuracy of the cross section ($Δσ/σ$) was corrected using the results of studies at 250 GeV and their extrapolation to 350 GeV, the derived measurement accuracies of the branching fractions ($ΔBr/Br$) to $b\bar{b}$, $c\bar{c}$, and gg were 2.7%, 7.3%, and 8.9% at a CM energy of 250 GeV and 3.6%, 7.2%, and 8.1% at 350 GeV, respectively.

A whale and the whaling ship and whale boat are both visible, along with the whale boat crew. Annie's father William Cooper built whale boats. The title was added by Boyd, although since the last whaling ship to leave Sag Harbor left in 1871, this title may reflect Annie's appreciation for romanticized history. A date for this painting is estimated based on Annie's lifespan.

Lower bounds on nonnegative rank via nonnegative nuclear norms

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The nonnegative rank of an entrywise nonnegative matrix A of size mxn is the smallest integer r such that A can be written as A=UV where U is mxr and V is rxn and U and V are both nonnegative. The nonnegative rank arises in different areas such as combinatorial optimization and communication complexity. Computing this quantity is NP-hard in general and it is thus important to find efficient bounding techniques especially in the context of the aforementioned applications. In this paper we propose a new lower bound on the nonnegative rank which, unlike most existing lower bounds, does not explicitly rely on the matrix sparsity pattern and applies to nonnegative matrices with arbitrary support. The idea involves computing a certain nuclear norm with nonnegativity constraints which allows to lower bound the nonnegative rank, in the same way the standard nuclear norm gives lower bounds on the standard rank. Our lower bound is expressed as the solution of a copositive programming problem and can be relaxed to obtain polynomial-time computable lower bounds using semidefinite programming. We compare our lower bound with existing ones, and we show examples of matrices where our lower bound performs better than currently known ones.

description: In this paper, we propose a simple hybrid WENO scheme to increase computational efficiency and decrease numerical dissipation. Based on the characteristic-wise approach, the scheme switches the numerical flux of each characteristic variables between that of WENO scheme and its optimal linear scheme according to a discontinuity detector measuring the non-resolvability of the linear scheme. A number of numerical examples computed with 5th-order WENO scheme suggested that, while achieving very small numerical dissipation and good robustness, the computational effort on WENO flux used in the hybrid scheme is negligible.

description: The use of large-scale supercomputing architectures is a hard requirement for scientific computing Big-Data applications. An example is genomics analytics, where millions of data transformations and tests per patient need to be done to find relevant clinical indicators. Therefore, to ensure open and broad access to high-performance technologies, governments, and academia are pushing toward the introduction of novel computing architectures in large-scale scientific environments. This is the case of RISC-V, an open-source and royalty-free instruction-set architecture. To evaluate such technologies, here we present the Variant-Interaction Analytics use case benchmarking suite and datasets. Through this use case, we search for possible genetic interactions using computational and statistical methods, providing a representative case for heavy ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) data processing. Current implementations are implemented in x86-based supercomputers (e.g. MareNostrum-IV at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC)), and future steps propose RISC-V as part of the next MareNostrum generations. Here we describe the Variant Interaction Use Case, highlighting the characteristics leveraging high-performance computing, indicating the caveats and challenges towards the next RISC-V developments and designs to come from a first comparison between x86 and RISC-V architectures on real Variant Interaction executions over real hardware implementations.

description: This research delves into the intricate landscape of Islamophobia, with a specific focus on Pakistan's proactive stance in the global discourse. Amid the shrinking distances and cultural amalgamation in our globalized society, regrettably, prejudiced beliefs persist. This study seeks to explore how Pakistan is actively countering Islamophobia, elucidating why it deems this struggle a collective Ummah issue and examining the pivotal role students can play in this endeavor. Pakistan has consistently championed and spearheaded international initiatives to combat religious bias and violence rooted in religious intolerance. Despite strides toward a more interconnected world, archaic tribal biases continue to fuel racism, religious bigotry, and sectarian violence in ostensibly modern societies. This research aims to answer critical questions surrounding Pakistan's commitment to combating Islamophobia, emphasizing its significance as a global issue. The role of Pakistan in positively portraying Islam to mitigate hostility and prejudice against Muslims is integral to this study. The nation's efforts extend beyond addressing anti-Muslim bigotry to combating any form of exclusion or restriction hindering Muslims from exercising their fundamental human rights and freedoms on an equal footing with others across societal domains. To counter prevalent Islamophobic tendencies in Western nations, it is imperative to dissect how the West perceives Islam and how Pakistan actively counters these perceptions. The findings of this research offer specific and actionable recommendations for academics and policymakers, benefiting the broader Muslim community. By fostering awareness, the study aims to underscore the critical importance of the current global climate and the urgency to address Islamophobia comprehensively. In conclusion, this research endeavors to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on Islamophobia, shedding light on Pakistan's role as a proactive advocate for change. Through comprehensive insights and recommendations, the study strives to empower students and the public alike to actively participate in combating Islamophobia, fostering a more inclusive and tolerant global society.

description: In general neutron stars in binaries are spinning. Recently, a new quasi-equilibrium approximation that includes a rotational velocity piece for each star has been proposed to describe binary neutron stars with arbitrary rotation states in quasi-circular orbits. We have implemented this approximation numerically for the first time, to generate initial data for neutron star binaries with spin. If we choose the rotational velocity piece such that it equals the Newtonian rigid rotation law, we obtain stars with fluid 4-velocities that have expansion and shear of approximately zero, as one would expect for quasi-equilibrium configurations. We also use the new approach to construct and study initial data sequences for irrotational, corotating and fixed rotation binaries.

description: Excerpts from the report: Brown rot, caused by Monilina fructicola (Wint.) Honey, is a serious postharvest disease of sweet cherries and peaches. Fruits may be infected in the orchard before harvest or in contaminated containers or packing houses after harvest. Control of this disease, therefore, cannot depend on proper orchard practices alone. After harvest, low-temperature refrigeration, chemical treatments, and heat treatments are the principal methods for controlling decay of most produce. In the United States, heat treatments to control postharvest decays of peaches and other fruits have been limited mostly to hot-water treatments or heated chemical suspensions. In Australia, on the other hand, exposing peaches to 105° F. air for 24 hours is the major heat treatment tested and used commercially. This study compares the effectiveness of unheated and heated suspensions of chemicals with hot-water or hot-air treatments to control decay in sweet cherries and of hot-water or hot-air treatments to control decay in peaches.

description: This research delves into the intricate landscape of Islamophobia, with a specific focus on Pakistan's proactive stance in the global discourse. Amid the shrinking distances and cultural amalgamation in our globalized society, regrettably, prejudiced beliefs persist. This study seeks to explore how Pakistan is actively countering Islamophobia, elucidating why it deems this struggle a collective Ummah issue and examining the pivotal role students can play in this endeavor. Pakistan has consistently championed and spearheaded international initiatives to combat religious bias and violence rooted in religious intolerance. Despite strides toward a more interconnected world, archaic tribal biases continue to fuel racism, religious bigotry, and sectarian violence in ostensibly modern societies. This research aims to answer critical questions surrounding Pakistan's commitment to combating Islamophobia, emphasizing its significance as a global issue. The role of Pakistan in positively portraying Islam to mitigate hostility and prejudice against Muslims is integral to this study. The nation's efforts extend beyond addressing anti-Muslim bigotry to combating any form of exclusion or restriction hindering Muslims from exercising their fundamental human rights and freedoms on an equal footing with others across societal domains. To counter prevalent Islamophobic tendencies in Western nations, it is imperative to dissect how the West perceives Islam and how Pakistan actively counters these perceptions. The findings of this research offer specific and actionable recommendations for academics and policymakers, benefiting the broader Muslim community. By fostering awareness, the study aims to underscore the critical importance of the current global climate and the urgency to address Islamophobia comprehensively. In conclusion, this research endeavors to contribute to the ongoing dialogue on Islamophobia, shedding light on Pakistan's role as a proactive advocate for change. Through comprehensive insights and recommendations, the study strives to empower students and the public alike to actively participate in combating Islamophobia, fostering a more inclusive and tolerant global society.

description: In this article, we present the concept of jagged numbers, a novel way of representing real numbers using jagged natural numbers, which are a combination of vectors and differential forms. Using jagged numbers, we define a bijection between the natural numbers and the unit square, providing a new method for enumerating real numbers. We then use this bijection to prove two main theorems: the first stating that the only rational curve on the unit square is the identity, and the second showing the uniqueness of the copula isometric to the unit square. Our results have implications in mathematical logic, set theory, and geometric measure theory. Potential applications include computer science, statistics, and cryptography. Overall, we demonstrate the value of developing new mathematical structures for its own sake, as it may yield results that are not only aesthetically appealing but also useful in practical applications.
Postharvest Wax-Fungicide Treatments of Nectarines, Peaches, and Plums for: Reducing Decay, Reducing Moisture Loss, Enhancing External Appearance

description: Excerpts from the report: Peaches and nectarines also are waxed to prevent shriveling due to moisture loss, and to enhance their appearance. At retail level, fruits may lose 5 to 10 percent of their original fresh weight, and their luster and firmness. Waxes are generally sprayed on the fruit as diluted emulsions. No reports have been published on the relative effectiveness of different types of wax coating in preventing moisture loss from peaches, plums, and nectarines. The type of wax used may also affect the gloss and appearance of the fruit in the market. This report describes the effect of different wax-fungicide combinations on the incidence of postharvest decay of peaches and nectarines and the effects of different types of waxes on the preventing moisture loss and enhancing the external appearance of treated fruit.

description: We study holographic models describing an RG flow between two fixed points driven by a relevant scalar operator. We show how to introduce a spurion field to restore Weyl invariance and compute the anomalous contribution to the generating functional in even dimensional theories. We find that the coefficient of the anomalous term is proportional to the difference of the conformal anomalies of the UV and IR fixed points, as expected from anomaly matching arguments in field theory. For any even dimensions the coefficient is positive as implied by the holographic a-theorem. For flows corresponding to spontaneous breaking of conformal invariance, we also compute the two-point functions of the energy-momentum tensor and the scalar operator and identify the dilaton mode. Surprisingly we find that in the simplest models with just one scalar field there is no dilaton pole in the two-point function of the scalar operator but a stronger singularity. We discuss the possible implications.

description: This is the second part in a series of papers concerned with principal Lyapunov exponents and principal Floquet subspaces of positive random dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces. The current part focuses on applications of general theory, developed in the authors' paper "Principal Lyapunov exponents and principal Floquet spaces of positive random dynamical systems. I. General theory," Trans. Amer. Math. Soc., in press, to positive random dynamical systems on finite-dimensional ordered Banach spaces. It is shown under some quite general assumptions that measurable linear skew-product semidynamical systems generated by measurable families of positive matrices and by strongly cooperative or type-K strongly monotone systems of linear ordinary differential equations admit measurable families of generalized principal Floquet subspaces, generalized principal Lyapunov exponents, and generalized exponential separations.

We investigate the existence of pluriclosed metric in connection with such a classification.

description: This is the first of a series of papers concerned with principal Lyapunov exponents and principal Floquet subspaces of positive random dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces. It focuses on the development of general theory. First, the notions of generalized principal Floquet subspaces, generalized principal Lyapunov exponents, and generalized exponential separations for general positive random dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces are introduced, which extend the classical notions of principal Floquet subspaces, principal Lyapunov exponents, and exponential separations for strongly positive deterministic systems in strongly ordered Banach to general positive random dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces. Under some quite general assumptions, it is then shown that a positive random dynamical system in an ordered Banach space admits a family of generalized principal Floquet subspaces, a generalized principal Lyapunov exponent, and a generalized exponential separation. We will consider in the forthcoming parts applications of the general theory developed in this part to positive random dynamical systems arising from a variety of random mappings and differential equations, including random Leslie matrix models, random cooperative systems of ordinary differential equations, and random parabolic equations.
