description: The fossil record of exceptionally preserved soft tissues in Konservat-Lagerstätten provides rare yet significant insight into past behaviours and ecologies. Such deposits are known to occur in bursts rather than evenly through time, but reasons for this pattern and implications for the origins of novel structures remain unclear. Previous assessments of these records focused on marine environments preserving chemically heterogeneous tissues from across animals. Here, we investigate the preservation of skin and keratinous integumentary structures in land-dwelling vertebrates (tetrapods) through time, and in distinct terrestrial and marine depositional environments. We also evaluate previously proposed biotic and abiotic controls on the distribution of 143 tetrapod Konservat-Lagerstätten from the Permian to the Pleistocene in a multivariate framework. Gap analyses taking into account sampling intensity and distribution indicate that feathers likely evolved close to their first appearance in the fossil record. By contrast, hair and archosaur filaments are weakly sampled (5× less common than feathers), and their origins may significantly predate earliest known occurrences in the fossil record. This work suggests that among-integument variation in preservation can bias the reconstructed first origins of integumentary novelties and has implications for predicting where, and in what depositional environments, to expect further discoveries of exquisitely preserved tetrapod integument.

description: We report the emergence of explosive synchronization in a multiplex network where oscillators on the first layer are coupled with attractive coupling and those on the second layer, coupled with repulsive coupling. With Stuart-Landau and FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators as the nodal dynamics, we consider non-local and mean-field intralayer couplings. We establish that explosive synchronization occurs in the multiplex network in the presence of Gaussian noise, and the transition is first order with hysteresis to a state of complete intra-layer and in-phase interlayer synchronization. The width of the hysteresis depends on the range of intralayer attractive coupling, strength of interlayer coupling and noise. We also see how to have control over this induced transition so that the explosive nature, if undesirable, can be converted to continuous type by tuning the strength of repulsive coupling or noise.

description: During the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Phase-I operation, 78 hydrogen-poor superluminous supernovae (SLSNe-I) were discovered in less than three years, making up the largest sample from a single survey. This paper (Paper I) presents the data, including the optical/ultraviolet light curves and classification spectra, while Paper II in this series will focus on the detailed analysis of the light curves and modeling. Our photometry is primarily taken by the ZTF in the $g,r,i$ bands, and with additional data from other ground-based facilities and Swift. The events of our sample cover a redshift range of $z = 0.06 - 0.67$, with a median and $1σ$ error (16\% and 84\% percentiles) $z_{\rm med} = 0.265^{+0.143}_{-0.135}$. The peak luminosity covers $-22.8\,{\rm mag} \leq M_{g,\rm peak} \leq -19.8$\,mag, with a median value of $-21.48^{+1.13}_{-0.61}$\,mag. Their light curves evolve slowly with the mean rest-frame rise time of $t_{\rm rise} = 41.9\pm17.8$\,days. The luminosity and time scale distributions suggest that low luminosity SLSNe-I with peak luminosity $\sim -20$\,mag or extremely fast rising events ($<10$\,days) exist but are rare. We confirm previous findings that slowly rising SLSNe-I also tend to fade slowly. The rest-frame color and temperature evolution show large scatters, suggesting that the SLSN-I population may have diverse spectral energy distributions. The peak rest-frame color shows a moderate correlation with the peak absolute magnitude, i.e. brighter SLSNe-I tend to have bluer colors. With optical and ultraviolet photometry, we construct bolometric luminosity and derive a bolometric correction relation generally applicable for converting $g,r$-band photometry to bolometric luminosity for SLSNe-I.

description: Being capable of characterizing DNA local bending is essential to understand thoroughly many biological processes because they involve a local bending of the double helix axis, either intrinsic to the sequence or induced by the binding of proteins. Developing a method to measure DNA bend angles that does not perturb the conformation of the DNA itself or the DNA-protein complex is a challenging task. Here, we propose a joint theory-experiment high throughput approach to rigorously measure such bend angles using the Tethered Particle Motion (TPM) technique. By carefully modeling the TPM geometry, we propose a simple formula based on a kinked Worm-Like Chain model to extract the bend angle from TPM measurements. Using constructs made of 575 base-pair DNAs with in-phase assemblies of 1 to 7 6A-tracts, we find that the sequence CA6CGG induces a bend angle of 19 [4] °. Our method is successfully compared to more theoretically complex or experimentally invasive ones such as cyclization, NMR, FRET or AFM. We further apply our procedure to TPM measurements from the literature and demonstrate that the angles of bends induced by proteins, such as Integration Host Factor (IHF) can be reliably evaluated as well.

Overview

Au sein des réseaux criminels, là où régnent puissance, meurtre et pouvoir, il y avait elles. Les captives. Dangereuses, malignes, et mortelles, elles sont les ombres des plus grands réseaux, les représentantes de leurs chefs, aussi appelés possesseurs. Depuis son adolescence, Ella est une captive contre son gré. John, son possesseur, préfère utiliser son corps plutôt que ses talents, plongeant sa vie dans un cauchemar éveillé. Jusqu'au jour où il lui annonce qu'elle va travailler pour quelqu'un d'autre... Si Ella pensait qu'il ne pouvait y avoir pire que John, elle réalise très vite que son nouveau possesseur joue dans une tout autre catégorie. Ce certain " Ash " , leader charismatique du réseau des Scott, refuse la présence d'une captive à ses côtés. Pour une raison obscure, il voue une haine viscérale à ces femmes. Un jeu dangereux s'installe alors entre eux, car Asher entend bien faire payer Ella, mais celle-ci ne compte pas céder...

description: This article bridges the gap in studies of the social bases of democratization between qualitative studies focused on social groups and quantitative studies focused on national characteristics. Qualitative historical evidence suggests the importance of classes-in particular, the emerging class of intellectuals-in the wave of democratizations in the decade before World War I. Quantitative cross-national data on a more recent wave of democratizations, from 1989 to 1996, confirm these findings. Models using direct maximum-likelihood estimation find that the ratio of adults with higher education has a significant positive effect on change in democracy levels, as measured by two longitudinal scales (Polity IV and Polyarchy). Proxies for the working class and the middle class-candidates proposed in previous studies as the social basis of democratization-also have significant effects.

description: A core axiom of sociology is that social structure affects and is affected by human behavior. The term "social structure" conveys two quite different meanings. One meaning is relational, involving networks of ties between individuals or groups of individuals. A second meaning refers to the contexts containing these individuals. Studies of neighborhood and community effects depend on variability in both types of social structure. Using data from multiple villages in Nang Rong, Thailand, this article documents substantial variability in network structure and shows that network structure covaries with context in meaningful ways, suggesting reciprocal effects of changes in both. Finally, it considers implications of variability in network structure, showing that social cohesion affects the likelihood of finding and interviewing former village residents.

description: We present the DLR Planetary Stereo, Solid-State LiDAR, Inertial (S3LI) dataset, recorded on Mt. Etna, Sicily, an environment analogous to the Moon and Mars, using a hand-held sensor suite with attributes suitable for implementation on a space-like mobile rover. The environment is characterized by challenging conditions regarding both the visual and structural appearance: severe visual aliasing poses significant limitations to the ability of visual SLAM systems to perform place recognition, while the absence of outstanding structural details, joined with the limited Field-of-View of the utilized Solid-State LiDAR sensor, challenges traditional LiDAR SLAM for the task of pose estimation using point clouds alone. With this data, that covers more than 4 kilometers of travel on soft volcanic slopes, we aim to: 1) provide a tool to expose limitations of state-of-the-art SLAM systems with respect to environments, which are not present in widely available datasets and 2) motivate the development of novel localization and mapping approaches, that rely efficiently on the complementary capabilities of the two sensors.

Group Threat and Policy Change: The Spatial Dynamics of Prohibition Politics, 1890–1919
Creators: name: Andrews, Kenneth T.
name: Seguin, Charles
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: The authors argue that group threat is a key driver of the adoption of new and controversial policies. Conceptualizing threat in spatial terms, they argue that group threat is activated through the joint occurrence of (1) proximity to threatening groups and (2) the population density of threatened groups. By analyzing the adoption of county and state "dry laws" banning alcohol from 1890 to 1919, they first show that prohibition victories were driven by the relative strength of supportive constituencies such as native whites and rural residents, vis-à-vis opponents such as Irish, Italian, or German immigrants or Catholics. Second, they show that threat contributed to prohibition victories: counties bordering large immigrant or urban populations, which did not themselves contain similar populations, were more likely to adopt dry laws. Threat arises primarily from interactions between spatially proximate units at the local level, and therefore higher-level policy change is not reducible to the variables driving local policy.
On 1-skeleton of the polytope of pyramidal tours with step-backs

description: Pyramidal tours with step-backs are Hamiltonian tours of a special kind: the salesperson starts in city 1, then visits some cities in ascending order, reaches city $n$, and returns to city 1 visiting the remaining cities in descending order. However, in the ascending and descending direction, the order of neighboring cities can be inverted (a step-back). It is known that on pyramidal tours with step-backs the traveling salesperson problem can be solved by dynamic programming in polynomial time. We define the polytope of pyramidal tours with step-backs $\operatorname{PSB}(n)$ as the convex hull of the characteristic vectors of all possible pyramidal tours with step-backs in a complete directed graph. The 1-skeleton of $\operatorname{PSB}(n)$ is the graph whose vertex set is the vertex set of the polytope, and the edge set is the set of geometric edges or one-dimensional faces of the polytope. We present a linear-time algorithm to verify vertex adjacencies in 1-skeleton of the polytope $\operatorname{PSB}(n)$ and estimate the diameter and the clique number of 1-skeleton: the diameter is bounded above by 4 and the clique number grows quadratically in the parameter $n$.

description: The authors draw data from the College Roommate Study (ROOM) and the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to investigate gene-environment interaction effects on youth binge drinking. In ROOM, the environmental influence was measured by the precollege drinking behavior of randomly assigned roommates. Random assignment safeguards against friend selection and removes the threat of gene-environment correlation that makes gene-environment interaction effects difficult to interpret. On average, being randomly assigned a drinking peer as opposed to a nondrinking peer increased college binge drinking by 0.5-1.0 episodes per month, or 20%-40% the average amount of binge drinking. However, this peer influence was found only among youths with a medium level of genetic propensity for alcohol use; those with either a low or high genetic propensity were not influenced by peer drinking. A replication of the findings is provided in data drawn from Add Health. The study shows that gene-environment interaction analysis can uncover social-contextual effects likely to be missed by traditional sociological approaches.

description: Seismic imaging in challenging sedimentary basins and reservoirs requires acquiring, processing, and imaging very large volumes of data (tens of terabytes). To reduce the cost of acquisition and the time from acquiring the data to producing a subsurface image, novel acquisition systems based on compressive sensing, low-rank matrix recovery, and randomized sampling have been developed and implemented. These approaches allow practitioners to achieve dense wavefield reconstruction from a substantially reduced number of field samples. However, designing acquisition surveys suited for this new sampling paradigm remains a critical and challenging role in oil, gas, and geothermal exploration. Typical random designs studied in the low-rank matrix recovery and compressive sensing literature are difficult to achieve by standard industry hardware. For practical purposes, a compromise between stochastic and realizable samples is needed. In this paper, we propose a deterministic and computationally cheap tool to alleviate randomized acquisition design, prior to survey deployment and large-scale optimization. We consider universal and deterministic matrix completion results in the context of seismology, where a bipartite graph representation of the source-receiver layout allows for the respective spectral gap to act as a quality metric for wavefield reconstruction. We provide realistic scenarios to demonstrate the utility of the spectral gap as a flexible tool that can be incorporated into existing survey design workflows for successful seismic data acquisition via low-rank and sparse signal recovery.

Memetic Elitist Pareto Evolutionary Algorithm for Virtual Network Embedding

Subjects: subject: Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing (cs.DC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Assigning virtual network resources to physical network components, called Virtual Network Embedding, is a major challenge in cloud computing platforms. In this paper, we propose a memetic elitist pareto evolutionary algorithm for virtual network embedding problem, which is called MEPE-VNE. MEPE-VNE applies a non-dominated sorting-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, called NSGA-II, to reduce computational complexity of constructing a hierarchy of non-dominated Pareto fronts and assign a rank value to each virtual network embedding solution based on its dominance level and crowding distance value. Local search is applied to enhance virtual network embedding solutions and speed up convergence of the proposed algorithm. To reduce loss of good solutions, MEPE-VNE ensures elitism by passing virtual network embedding solutions with best fitness values to next generation. Performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated and compared with existing algorithms using extensive simulations, which show that the proposed algorithm improves virtual network embedding by increasing acceptance ratio and revenue while decreasing the cost incurred by substrate network.

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The efficient decomposition of multi-controlled gates is a significant factor in quantum compiling, both in circuit depth and T-gate count. Recent work has demonstrated that qudits have the potential to reduce resource requirements from linear to logarithmic depth and to avoid fractional phase rotations. Here we argue, based on the scaling of decoherence in high-index states, that circuit depth is not the primary factor, and that both the choice of entangling gate and interaction network topology act together to determine the spread of errors and ultimate failure rate in a circuit. We further show that for certain linear-depth circuits, additional error mitigation is possible via selective application of resources.

description: Fault localization is challenging in an online service system due to its monitoring data's large volume and variety and complex dependencies across or within its components (e.g., services or databases). Furthermore, engineers require fault localization solutions to be actionable and interpretable, which existing research approaches cannot satisfy. Therefore, the common industry practice is that, for a specific online service system, its experienced engineers focus on localization for recurring failures based on the knowledge accumulated about the system and historical failures. Although the above common practice is actionable and interpretable, it is largely manual, thus slow and sometimes inaccurate. In this paper, we aim to automate this practice through machine learning. That is, we propose an actionable and interpretable fault localization approach, DejaVu, for recurring failures in online service systems. For a specific online service system, DejaVu takes historical failures and dependencies in the system as input and trains a localization model offline; for an incoming failure, the trained model online recommends where the failure occurs (i.e., the faulty components) and which kind of failure occurs (i.e., the indicative group of metrics) (thus actionable), which are further interpreted by both global and local interpretation methods (thus interpretable). Based on the evaluation on 601 failures from three production systems and one open-source benchmark, in less than one second, DejaVu can on average rank the ground truths at 1.66-th to 5.03-th among a long candidate list, outperforming baselines by at least 51.51%.

description: Scattering amplitudes in quantum field theory are independent of the field parameterization, which has a natural geometric interpretation as a form of `coordinate invariance.' Amplitudes can be expressed in terms of Riemannian curvature tensors, which makes the covariance of amplitudes under non-derivative field redefinitions manifest. We present a generalized geometric framework that extends this manifest covariance to $all$ allowed field redefinitions. Amplitudes satisfy a recursion relation that closely resembles the application of covariant derivatives to increase the rank of a tensor. This allows us to argue that (tree-level) amplitudes possess a notion of `on-shell covariance,' in that they transform as a tensor under any allowed field redefinition up to a set of terms that vanish when the equations of motion and on-shell momentum constraints are imposed. We highlight a variety of immediate applications to effective field theories.

Identification of periodic and cyclic fractional stable motions

Year: 2008

description: Self-similar stable mixed moving average processes can be related to nonsingular flows through their minimal representations. Self-similar stable mixed moving averages related to dissipative flows have been studied, as well as processes associated with identity flows which are the simplest type of conservative flows. The focus here is on self-similar stable mixed moving averages related to periodic and cyclic flows. Periodic flows are conservative flows such that each point in the space comes back to its initial position in finite time, either positive or null. The flow is cyclic if the return time is positive. Self-similar mixed moving averages are called periodic, respectively cyclic, fractional stable motions if their minimal representations are generated by periodic, respectively cyclic, flows. These processes, however, are often defined by a nonminimal representation. We provide a way to detect whether they are periodic or cyclic even if their representation is nonminimal. By using these identification results, we obtain a more refined decomposition of self-similar mixed moving averages.

description: While user's perception & performance are predominantly examined independently in virtual reality, the Action-Specific Perception (ASP) theory postulates that the performance of an individual on a task modulates this individual's spatial & time perception pertinent to the task's components & procedures. This paper examines the association between performance & perception & the potential effects that tactile feedback modalities could generate. This paper reports a user study (N=24), in which participants performed a Fitts's law target acquisition task by using three feedback modalities: visual, visuo-electrotactile, & visuo-vibrotactile. The users completed 3 Target Sizes X 2 Distances X 3 feedback modalities = 18 trials. The size perception, distance perception, & (movement) time perception were assessed at the end of each trial. Performance-wise, the results showed that electrotactile feedback facilitates a significantly better accuracy compared to vibrotactile & visual feedback, while vibrotactile provided the worst accuracy. Electrotactile & visual feedback enabled a comparable reaction time, while the vibrotactile offered a substantially slower reaction time than visual feedback. Although amongst feedback types the pattern of differences in perceptual aspects were comparable to performance differences, none of them was statistically significant. However, performance indeed modulated perception. Significant action-specific effects on spatial & time perception were detected. Changes in accuracy modulate both size perception & time perception, while changes in movement speed modulate distance perception. Also, the index of difficulty was found to modulate perception. These outcomes highlighted the importance of haptic feedback on performance, & importantly the significance of action-specific effects on spatial & time perception in VR, which should be considered in future VR studies.

description: We experimentally demonstrated entanglement extraction scheme by using photons at the telecommunication band for optical-fiber-based quantum communications. We generated two pairs of non-degenerate polarization entangled photons at 780~nm and 1551~nm by spontaneous parametric down-conversion and distributed the two photons at 1551~nm through a collective phase damping channel which gives the same amount of random phase shift on the two photons. Through local operation and classical communication, we extracted an entangled photon pair from two phase-disturbed photon pairs. An observed fidelity of the extracted photon pair to a maximally entangled photon pair was 0.73 $\pm$ 0.07 which clearly shows the recovery of entanglement.

On the Complexity of Scheduling Problems With a Fixed Number of Parallel Identical Machines

description: In parallel machine scheduling, we are given a set of jobs, together with a number of machines and our goal is to decide for each job, when and on which machine(s) it should be scheduled in order to minimize some objective function. Different machine models, job characteristics and objective functions result in a multitude of scheduling problems and many of them are NP-hard, even for a fixed number of identical machines. In this work, we give conditional running time lower bounds for a large number of scheduling problems, indicating the optimality of some classical algorithms. Most notably, we show that the algorithm by Lawler and Moore for $1||\sum w_jU_j$ and $Pm||C_{max}$, as well as the algorithm by Lee and Uzsoy for $P2||\sum w_jC_j$ are probably optimal. There is still small room for improvement for the $1|Rej\leq Q|\sum w_jU_j$ algorithm by Zhang et al., the algorithm for $1||\sum T_j$ by Lawler and the FPTAS for $1||\sum w_jU_j$ by Gens and Levner. We also give a lower bound for $P2|any|C_{max}$ and improve the dynamic program by Du and Leung from $\mathcal{O}(nP^2)$ to $\mathcal{O}(nP)$, matching this new lower bound. Here, $P$ is the sum of all processing times. The same idea also improves the algorithm for $P3|any|C_{max}$ by Du and Leung from $\mathcal{O}(nP^5)$ to $\mathcal{O}(nP^2)$. While our results suggest the optimality of some classical algorithms, they also motivate future research in cases where the best known algorithms do not quite match the lower bounds.

description: There is only one fully supported ergodic invariant probability measure for the adic transformation on the space of infinite paths in the graph that underlies the Eulerian numbers. This result may partially justify a frequent assumption about the equidistribution of random permutations.
QCD improved top-quark decay at next-to-next-to-leading order

description: We analyse the top-quark decay at the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD by using the Principle of Maximum Conformality (PMC) which provides a systematic way to eliminate renormalization scheme and scale ambiguities in perturbative QCD predictions. The PMC renormalization scales of the coupling constant $α_s$ are determined by absorbing the non-conformal $β$ terms that govern the behavior of the running coupling by using the Renormalization Group Equation (RGE). We obtain the PMC scale $Q_\star=15.5$ GeV for the top-quark decay, which is an order of magnitude smaller than the conventional choice $μ_r=m_t$, reflecting the small virtuality of the QCD dynamics of the top-quark decay process. Moreover, due to the non-conformal $β$ terms disappear in the pQCD series, there is no renormalon divergence and the NLO QCD correction term is greatly increased while the NNLO QCD correction term is suppressed compared to the conventional results obtained at $μ_r=m_t$. By further including the next-to-leading (NLO) electroweak corrections, the finite $W$ boson width and the finite bottom quark mass, we obtain the top-quark total decay width $Γ^{\rm tot}_t=1.3112^{+0.0190}_{-0.0189}$ GeV, where the error is the squared averages of the top-quark mass $Δm_t=\pm0.7$ GeV, the coupling constant $Δα_s(M_Z)=\pm0.0009$ and the estimation of unknown higher-order terms using the PAA method with [N/M]=[1/1]. The PMC improved predictions for the top-quark decay are complementary to the previous PMC calculations for top-quark pair production and helpful for detailed studies of properties of the top-quark.

The effect of combined roundness and polydispersity on the phase behavior of hard-rectangle fluids

description: We introduce a model for a fluid of polydisperse rounded hard rectangles where the length and width of the rectangular core are fixed, while the roundness is taken into account by the convex envelope of a disk displaced along the perimeter of the core. The diameter of the disk has a continuous polydispersity described by a Schultz distribution function. We implemented the scaled particle theory for this model with the aim to studying: (i) the effect of roundness on the phase behavior of the one-component hard-rectangle fluid, and (ii) how polydispersity affects phase transitions between isotropic, nematic and tetratic phases. We found that roundness greatly affects the tetratic phase, whose region of stability in the phase diagram strongly decreases as the roundness parameter is increased. Also the interval of aspect ratios where the tetratic-nematic and isotropic-nematic phase transitions are of first order considerably reduces with roundness, both transitions becoming weaker. Polydispersity induces strong fractionation between the coexisting phases, with the nematic phase enriched in particles of lower roundness. Finally, for high enough polydispersity and certain mean aspect ratios, the isotropic-to-nematic transition can change from second (for the one-component fluid) to first order. We also found a packing-fraction inversion phenomenon for large polydispersities: the coexisting isotropic phase has a higher packing fraction than the nematic.
