description: Using the level--spacing distribution and the total probability function of the numbers of levels in a given energy interval we analyze the crossover of the level statistics between the delocalized and the localized regimes. By numerically calculating the electron spectra of systems of up to $32^3$ lattice sites described by the Anderson Hamiltonian it is shown that the distribution $P(s)$ of neighboring spacings is {\em scale- independent} at the metal-insulator transition. For large spacings it has a Poisson-like asymptotic form $P(s)\propto \exp (- A\,s/Δ)$, where $A \approx 1.9$. At the critical point we obtain a linear relationship between the variance of the number of levels $\langle [δn(\varepsilon)]^2 \rangle $ and their average number $\langle n(\varepsilon)\rangle $ within the interval $\varepsilon$. The constant of proportionality is less than unity due to the repulsion of the levels. Both $P(s)$ and $\langle [δn(\varepsilon)]^2 \rangle $ are determined by the probability density $Q_{n}(\varepsilon)$ of having exactly $n$ levels in the energy interval $\varepsilon $. The distribution $Q_{n}(\varepsilon)$ at the critical point is found to be size--independent and to obey a Gaussian law near its maximum, where $n\sim \langle n \rangle $.

description: Inherited, age-related, and acute retinal diseases are often exacerbated by an aberrant or excessive activity of the complement system. Consequently, cells not directly affected by an acute event or genetic variants may degenerate, resulting in enhanced visual impairment. The therapeutic potential of supplementation of complement factor H (FH), a key regulator of the complement cascade, is therefore particularly promising in the context of retinal diseases caused by complement activation. In this study, we engineered adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) containing sequences of two truncated human FH variants. The expression of these variants was regulated by the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) promoter, which is selectively active in gliotic Müller cells. Both FH variants consisted of FH domains 19-20, which were connected to domains 1–4 and 1–7, respectively, by a polyglycine linker. These AAVs were intravitreally injected following ischemic injury of C57BL/6J mouse retinas. We observed transgene expression in gliotic Müller cells and to some extent in astrocytes. The expression correlated directly with damage severity. Interventions resulted in decreased complement activation, accelerated normalization of microglia activity and morphological improvements. Reduced levels of C3 transcripts and C3d protein in conjunction with higher transcript levels of inhibitory regulators like Cfi and Cfh, hinted at attenuated complement activity. This study demonstrates the great potential of complement regulatory gene addition therapy. With further in vivo testing it could be applied to treat a wide range of retinal diseases where no causative therapies are available.

description: We report an empirical study on the development and validation of a learning progression (LP) in quantum mechanics (QM) at university level. Drawing on research results about students’ reasoning in QM, we designed a hypothetical LP (HLP) consisting of three Big Ideas: Measurement, A toms and Electrons, Wave function. We then developed ten Ordered-Multiple-Choice (OMC) items to assess the construct validity and hierarchy of HLP levels. We administered the questionnaire to 244 students attending the Bachelor in Physics, divided into three groups under different instruction conditions: no course, introductory course, introductory and upper-level course. An additional group of 43 non-physics students, who attended an introductory QM course, was also involved to inspect the role of physics background knowledge . We used exploratory factor analysis and Rasch analysis to analyse collected data. The results provided evidence for the revision of the HLP around only two Big Ideas – Atomic description and measurement; Wave function and its properties in the measurement process – which roughly match the topics covered in the introductory and upper-level courses, respectively. However, the hierarchy of hypothesised levels was substantially confirmed. Implications of our findings for the teaching of QM, and the improvement of the revised LP are also discussed.

description: We have investigated the dilute magnetic impurity effect on the magnetic properties of a quantum spin liquid candidate Ba3ZnRu2O9 and a spin gapped compound Ba3CaRu2O9. The magnetic ground state of each compound stands against 2% substitution of magnetic impurities for Zn or Ca. We have found that the magnetic response of these impurities, which behave as paramagnetic spins, depends on the host materials and the difference of the two manifests itself in the Weiss temperature, which can hardly be explained by the dilute magnetic impurities alone in the case of Ba3ZnRu2O9. We consider a contribution from the Ru5+ ions which would appear only in the substituted Ba3ZnRu2O9 and discuss a possible physical meaning of the observed Weiss temperature.

description: Spain has become one of the major powers in Astrophysics in the world. Fortunately for researchers in our country, the meritocratic system for promotion operates in general very well, but at the expense of countless hours invested by objective, diligent panels. In their deliberations, panelists have to take into account many factors including, but not limited to, teaching, supervising, project administration and funding acquisition, awards and honours, professional services, developing astronomical instrumentation, organising events, communicating to the public and, of course, what some ironically call "numerology": number of papers, number of citations, Hirsch index, impact factors, and a plethora of standard bibliometric indicators. We will be presenting a summary of useful indicators that can easily be retrieved from the NASA Astrophysics Data System, and impartially discuss their suitability and applicability in Spain.

The corresponding statistical mechanics for a gas of such particles is constructed. This procedure is used to define the statistical mechanics for particles with irrational $g$. Applications to strongly correlated systems such as the Hubbard and $t-J$ models are discussed.

We searched for evidence of parity violation at the b bbar g vertex by studying the asymmetries in the b-quark polar- and azimuthal-angle distributions, and for evidence of T-odd, CP-even or odd, final-state interactions by measuring angular correlations between the three-jet plane and the Z0 polarization. We found results consistent with Standard Model expectations, and set 95% C.L. limits on anomalous contributions.

description: Background: The final step in the anaerobic decomposition of biopolymers is methanogenesis. Rice field soils are a major anthropogenic source of methane, with straw commonly used as a fertilizer in rice farming. Here, we aimed to decipher the structural and functional responses of the methanogenic community to rice straw addition during an extended anoxic incubation (120 days) of Philippine paddy soil. The research combined process measurements, quantitative real-time PCR and RT-PCR of particular biomarkers (16S rRNA, mcrA), and meta-omics (environmental genomics and transcriptomics). Results: The analysis methods collectively revealed two major bacterial and methanogenic activity phases: early (days 7 to 21) and late (days 28 to 60) community responses, separated by a significant transient decline in microbial gene and transcript abundances and CH4 production rate. The two methanogenic activity phases corresponded to the greatest rRNA and mRNA abundances of the Methanosarcinaceae but differed in the methanogenic pathways expressed. While three genetically distinct Methanosarcina populations contributed to acetoclastic methanogenesis during the early activity phase, the late activity phase was defined by methylotrophic methanogenesis performed by a single Methanosarcina genomospecies. Closely related to Methanosarcina sp. MSH10X1, mapping of environmental transcripts onto metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and population-specific reference genomes revealed this genomospecies as the key player in acetoclastic and methylotrophic methanogenesis. The anaerobic food web was driven by a complex bacterial community, with Geobacteraceae and Peptococcaceae being putative candidates for a functional interplay with Methanosarcina. Members of the Methanocellaceae were the key players in hydrogenotrophic methanogenesis, while the acetoclastic activity of Methanotrichaceae members was detectable only during the very late community response. Conclusions: The predominant but time-shifted expression of acetoclastic and methylotrophic methanogenesis by a single Methanosarcina genomospecies represents a novel finding that expands our hitherto knowledge of the methanogenic pathways being highly expressed in paddy soils.

description: Aerial spraying of herbicides is an option for treating undesirable woody species on grasslands and rangelands, but few studies have determined the effects of these products on non-target woody plants important to wildlife. A recently introduced herbicide containing a mixture of clopyralid and aminopyralid ("CA") is thought to be specific to honey mesquite (Prosopis glandulosa) control. Our objective was to document the effects of CA alone and mixed with other brush herbicides, including picloram and triclopyr, on two target species, honey mesquite and pricklypear (Opuntia spp.), and two non-target woody plants, lotebush (Zizyphus obtusifolia) and hackberry (Celtis laevigata var reticulata). Treatments were 1) CA, 2) CA + triclopyr (CA+Tr), 3) CA + picloram (CA+Pc), and 4) clopyralid + triclopyr (Cp+Tr). We applied aerial spray treatments on four, 4-ha replicated plots of mature mesquite thickets that also contained pricklypear in each of 3 consecutive years in north-central Texas and evaluated plots at 1 year and 2 years post-treatment (YPT). We developed a tolerance-rating model with 5 levels (highly tolerant, tolerant, moderately tolerant, moderately susceptible, and susceptible) that integrated stand-level percent whole plant mortality (root-kill) and percent canopy reduction of surviving plants. Mesquite was susceptible to all treatments in all spray years. Pricklypear was susceptible to CA+Pc [root-kill more than doubled (33 to 84%) from 1 to 2 YPT], but highly tolerant of the other treatments. Lotebush was highly tolerant or tolerant of all treatments. Hackberry was tolerant of CA and Cp+Tr but susceptible to CA+Pc. The negative effect of CA+Pc on hackberry was greater when hackberry was drought-stressed. We recommend inspection of drought status, foliage condition, and abundance of non-target woody species prior to broadcast spraying for control of targeted woody species or cacti.

description: The realization of strong photon-photon interactions has presented an enduring challenge across photonics, particularly in quantum computing, where two-photon gates form essential components for scalable quantum information processing (QIP). While linear-optic schemes have enabled probabilistic entangling gates in spatio-polarization encoding, solutions for many other useful degrees of freedom remain missing. In particular, no two-photon gate for the important platform of frequency encoding has been experimentally demonstrated, due in large part to the additional challenges imparted by the mismatched wavelengths of the interacting photons. In this article, we design and implement the first entangling gate for frequency-bin qubits, a coincidence-basis controlled-NOT (CNOT), using line-by-line pulse shaping and electro-optic modulation. We extract a quantum gate fidelity of $0.91 \pm 0.01$ via a novel parameter inference approach based on Bayesian machine learning, which enables accurate gate reconstruction from measurements in the two-photon computational basis alone. Our CNOT imparts a single-photon frequency shift controlled by the frequency of another photon---an important capability in itself---and should enable new directions in fiber-compatible QIP.

description: We pursue further an approach to lattice chiral fermions in which the fermions are treated in the continuum. To render the effective action gauge invariant, counterterms have to be introduced. We determine the counterterms for smooth gauge fields, both analytically and numerically. The final result is that the imaginary part of the effective action can be computed analytically from the lattice gauge field, while the real part is given by one half of the action of the corresponding vector model.

Formalizing Constructive Quantifier Elimination in Agda

description: In this paper a constructive formalization of quantifier elimination is presented, based on a classical formalization by Tobias Nipkow. The formalization is implemented and verified in the programming language/proof assistant Agda. It is shown that, as in the classical case, the ability to eliminate a single existential quantifier may be generalized to full quantifier elimination and consequently a decision procedure. The latter is shown to have strong properties under a constructive metatheory, such as the generation of witnesses and counterexamples. Finally, this is demonstrated on a minimal theory on the natural numbers.

description: We investigate the $ΔS = 1,2$ effective weak chiral Lagrangian within the framework of the chiral quark model. Starting from the effective four-quark operators, we derive the effective weak chiral action by integrating out the constituent quark fields. Employing the derivative expansion, we obtain the effective weak chiral Lagrangian to order ${\cal O} (p^4)$. We examine the contributions of the order ${\cal O} (N_c)$ to the ratio $g_{\underline{8}}/g_{\underline{27}}$, considering e.g. the quark axial-vector constant $g_{\rm A}$ different from unity. The low energy constants of the counterterms are also presented and discussed.

We employ monoidal categories of finitary functors and profunctors on finite sets as models of these notions of computation, and develop the connections between them through adjunctions. As a result, we obtain a categorical version of Lindley, Yallop and Wadler's characterisation of monads and idioms as arrows satisfying an isomorphism.

Contacts and Edge State Equilibration in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect

Year: 1995

description: We develop a simple kinetic equation description of edge state dynamics in the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE), which allows us to examine in detail equilibration processes between multiple edge modes. As in the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE), inter-mode equilibration is a prerequisite for quantization of the Hall conductance. Two sources for such equilibration are considered: Edge impurity scattering and equilibration by the electrical contacts. Several specific models for electrical contacts are introduced and analyzed. For FQHE states in which edge channels move in both directions, such as $ν=2/3$, these models for the electrical contacts {\it do not} equilibrate the edge modes, resulting in a non-quantized Hall conductance, even in a four-terminal measurement. Inclusion of edge-impurity scattering, which {\it directly} transfers charge between channels, is shown to restore the four-terminal quantized conductance. For specific filling factors, notably $ν=4/5$ and $ν=4/3$, the equilibration length due to impurity scattering diverges in the zero temperature limit, which should lead to a breakdown of quantization for small samples at low temperatures. Experimental implications are discussed.

description: The key to any nameless representation of syntax is how it indicates the variables we choose to use and thus, implicitly, those we discard. Standard de Bruijn representations delay discarding maximally till the leaves of terms where one is chosen from the variables in scope at the expense of the rest. Consequently, introducing new but unused variables requires term traversal. This paper introduces a nameless 'co-de-Bruijn' representation which makes the opposite canonical choice, delaying discarding minimally, as near as possible to the root. It is literate Agda: dependent types make it a practical joy to express and be driven by strong intrinsic invariants which ensure that scope is aggressively whittled down to just the support of each subterm, in which every remaining variable occurs somewhere. The construction is generic, delivering a universe of syntaxes with higher-order metavariables, for which the appropriate notion of substitution is hereditary. The implementation of simultaneous substitution exploits tight scope control to avoid busywork and shift terms without traversal. Surprisingly, it is also intrinsically terminating, by structural recursion alone.

description: We compute the fixed point action of a properly defined renormalization group transformation for the Schwinger model through an expansion in the gauge field. It is local, with couplings exponentially suppressed with the distance. We check its perfection by computing the 1-loop mass gap at finite spatial volume, finding only exponentially vanishing cut off effects, in contrast with the standard action, which is affected by large power-like cut off effects. We point out that the 1-loop mass gap calculation provides a check of the classical perfection of the fixed point action, and not of the 1-loop perfection, as could be naively expected.

description: Introduction: Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation of adipose tissue (AT) and an increase of AT macrophages (ATMs) that is linked to the onset of type 2 diabetes. We have recently shown that neutralization of interleukin (IL)-6 in obese AT organ cultures inhibits proliferation of ATMs, which occurs preferentially in alternatively activated macrophage phenotype. Methods: In this study, we investigated AT biology and the metabolic phenotype of mice with myeloid cell-specific IL-6Rα deficiency (Il6raΔmyel) after normal chow and 20 weeks of high-fat diet focusing on AT inflammation, ATM polarization and proliferation. Using organotypical AT culture and bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) of IL-4Rα knockout mice (Il4ra-/-) we studied IL-6 signaling. Results: Obese Il6raΔmyel mice exhibited no differences in insulin sensitivity or histological markers of AT inflammation. Notably, we found a reduction of ATMs expressing the mannose receptor 1 (CD206), as well as a decrease of the proliferation marker Ki67 in ATMs of Il6raΔmyel mice. Importantly, organotypical AT culture and BMDM data of Il4ra-/- mice revealed that IL-6 mediates a shift towards the M2 phenotype independent from the IL-6/IL-4Rα axis. Discussion: Our results demonstrate IL-4Rα-independent anti-inflammatory effects of IL-6 on macrophages and the ability of IL-6 to maintain proliferation rates in obese AT.

description: Background: Hearing in noise is challenging for cochlear implant users and requires significant listening effort. This study investigated the influence of ForwardFocus and number of maxima of the Advanced Combination Encoder (ACE) strategy, as well as age, on speech recognition threshold and listening effort in noise. Methods: A total of 33 cochlear implant recipients were included (age ≤ 40 years: n = 15, >40 years: n = 18). The Oldenburg Sentence Test was used to measure 50% speech recognition thresholds (SRT50) in fluctuating and stationary noise. Speech was presented frontally, while three frontal or rear noise sources were used, and the number of ACE maxima varied between 8 and 12. Results: ForwardFocus significantly improved the SRT50 when noise was presented from the back, independent of subject age. The use of 12 maxima further improved the SRT50 when ForwardFocus was activated and when noise and speech were presented frontally. Listening effort was significantly worse in the older age group compared to the younger age group and was reduced by ForwardFocus but not by increasing the number of ACE maxima. Conclusion: Forward Focus can improve speech recognition in noisy environments and reduce listening effort, especially in older cochlear implant users.
Transitional CP Violation in the MSSM and Electroweak Baryogenesis

description: Electroweak baryogenesis depends on the profile of the bubble wall created in the first-order phase transition. It is pointed out that CP violation in the Higgs sector of the MSSM could become large enough to explain the baryon asymmetry. We confirm this by solving the equations of motion for the Higgs fields with the effective potential at the transition temperature. That is, we present an example such that the transitional CP violation is realized and show the possibility that the baryon asymmetry of the universe may be produced, if marginally, by the $τ$ lepton interacting with the wall, when an explicit CP breaking in the Higgs sector, which is consistent with experimental bounds, is induced at the phase transition.

Intensive pasture management alters the composition and structure of plant-pollinator interactions in Sibiu, Romania

description: Background: Land management change towards intensive grazing has been shown to alter plant and pollinator communities and the structure of plant-pollinator interactions in different ways across the world. Land-use intensification in Eastern Europe is shifting highly diverse, traditionally managed hay meadows towards intensive pastures, but few studies have examined how this influences plant-pollinator networks. We hypothesized that the effects of intensive grazing on networks will depend on how plant communities and their floral traits change. Methods: We investigated plant and pollinator diversity and composition and the structure of plant-pollinator interactions near Sibiu, Romania at sites that were traditionally managed as hay meadows or intensive pastures. We quantified the identity and abundance of flowering plants, and used transect walks to observe pollinator genera interacting with flowering plant species. We evaluated the effects of management on diversity, composition and several indices of network structure. Results: Pollinator but not plant diversity declined in pastures and both plant and pollinator taxonomic composition shifted. Functional diversity and composition remained unchanged, with rather specialized flowers having been found to dominate in both hay meadows and pastures. Apis mellifera was found to be the most abundant pollinator. Its foraging preferences played a crucial role in shaping plant-pollinator network structure. Apis mellifera thus preferred the highly abundant Dorycnium herbaceum in hay meadows, leading to hay meadows networks with lower Shannon diversity and interaction evenness. In pastures, however, it preferred less abundant and more generalized flower resources. With pollinators being overall less abundant and more generalized in pastures, we found that niche overlap between plants was higher. Discussion: With both hay meadows and pastures being dominated by plant species with similar floral traits, shifts in pollinator preferences seem to have driven the observed changes in plant-pollinator interaction networks. We thus conclude that the effects of grazing on pollinators and their interactions are likely to depend on the traits of plant species present in different management types as well as on the effects of grazing on plant community composition. We thereby highlight the need for better understanding how floral abundance shapes pollinator visitation rates and how floral traits may influence this relationship.

description: In the present work, polarizability of 34 C60 fullerene dimers with different bridges between the cages has been studied by the PBE/3ζ density functional theory method and relevant additive scheme. All studied compounds reveal the exaltation polarizability Δα (positive deviation of the DFT-calculated mean polarizability from the additive value), which was previously found for the fullerene dimers with the direct linkage of the fullerene moieties, so it is a common property of fullerene dimers regardless of their chemical nature. The Δα values depend on intercage distance L and the type of the bridging group and almost independent of topological features of the structures.
Basis independent study of Supersymmetry without R-parity and the tau neutrino mass

description: In the most general R-parity violating model, including both bilinear and trilinear terms, the sneutrino receives a vacuum expectation value. We investigate the constraints on this vev following a basis independent approach, highlighting the relations between the three most popular basis. We study the prediction for the tau neutrino mass which follows from the minimization of the scalar potential in a SUGRA model with universality of the soft parameters at the GUT scale. Finally we show that the tau neutrino mass controls the R-parity violating effects both in the fermionic and scalar sectors.
