description: Transforming growth factor-ß (TGF-ß) is a key factor for understanding the pathogenesis of fibrotic disorders such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We have demonstrated that interleukin-10 (IL-10) suppresses TGF-ß-induced expression of type I collagen (COL1) mRNA in a human lung fibroblast cell line (WI-38). However, the inhibitory mechanism has not yet been clearly elucidated. Thus, in the current study, we investigate the effects of IL-10 blockade of TGF-ß signaling which regulates COL1 mRNA expression. In WI-38 cells, IL-10 inhibits TGF-ß-mediated phosphorylation of both, c-Jun HN2-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38, but does not suppress TGF-ß- mediated phosphorylation of Smad2 or affect TGF-ß-upregulation of Smad7 mRNA expression. In addition, SP600125 and SB203580, specific inhibitors of JNK and p38, respectively, attenuate TGF-ß-induced COL1 mRNA expression in WI-38 cells. These results suggest that IL-10 inhibits TGF-ß-induced COL1 mRNA expression via both JNK and p38 pathways but not Smad pathways in WI-38 cells. This inhibitory mechanism may provide a novel insight into therapeutic strategies for fibrotic disorders such as IPF.

description: This paper contains three results about generating functions for Lie-theoretic integration of Poisson brackets and their relation to quantization. In the first, we show how to construct a generating function associated to the germ of any local symplectic groupoid and we provide an explicit (smooth, non-formal) universal formula $S_π$ for integrating any Poisson structure $π$ on a coordinate space. The second result involves the relation to semiclassical quantization. We show that the formal Taylor expansion of $S_{tπ}$ around $t=0$ yields an extract of Kontsevich's star product formula based on tree-graphs, recovering the formal family introduced by Cattaneo, Dherin and Felder in [6]. The third result involves the relation to semiclassical aspects of the Poisson Sigma model. We show that $S_π$ can be obtained by non-perturbative functional methods, evaluating a certain functional on families of solutions of a PDE on a disk, for which we show existence and classification.

Understanding Epileptiform After-Discharges as Rhythmic Oscillatory Transients

description: Electro-cortical activity in patients with epilepsy may show abnormal rhythmic transients in response to stimulation. Even when using the same stimulation parameters in the same patient, wide variability in the duration of transient response has been reported. These transients have long been considered important for the mapping of the excitability levels in the epileptic brain but their dynamic mechanism is still not well understood. To understand the occurrence of abnormal transients dynamically, we use a thalamo-cortical neural population model of epileptic spike-wave activity and study the interaction between slow and fast subsystems. In a reduced version of the thalamo-cortical model, slow wave oscillations arise from a fold of cycles (FoC) bifurcation. This marks the onset of a region of bistability between a high amplitude oscillatory rhythm and the background state. In vicinity of the bistability in parameter space, the model has excitable dynamics, showing prolonged rhythmic transients in response to suprathreshold pulse stimulation. We analyse the state space geometry of the bistable and excitable states, and find that the rhythmic transient arises when the impending FoC bifurcation deforms the state space and creates an area of locally reduced attraction to the fixed point. This area essentially allows trajectories to dwell there before escaping to the stable steady state, thus creating rhythmic transients. In the full thalamo-cortical model, we find a similar FoC bifurcation structure. Based on the analysis, we propose an explanation of why stimulation induced epileptiform activity may vary between trials, and predict how the variability could be related to ongoing oscillatory background activity.

description: The multi-measure model (MMM), in which one modifies the action to include both the Riemannian measure and a non-Riemannian one, has proven to be able to produce viable Universe evolution scenarios. In this article we consider two special cases of the multi-measure model, in which we first decouple the two kinetic terms in the Lagrangian entirely and later remove the dark charge of the model. We show numerically that those special cases still possess the needed evolutionary stages of the Universe and furthermore, for them one can obtain a sufficient number of e-folds of the early inflation. In the first case, the inflaton still moves backwards on the effective potential during inflation, while in the second, it does not, meaning that this behavior comes from the dark charge. We connect the model with hyperinflationary models and investigate how the different epochs are born from the interplay between the two scalar fields. We demonstrate that there is a dynamically induced slow-roll epoch, which is prolonged by the complicated movement of the two scalars in the field space. Finally, we show that while the adiabatic speed of sound can become imaginary, the phase speed of sound remains real.

Semiclassical theory of anisotropic transport at LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interfaces under in-plane magnetic field

description: The unconventional magnetotransport at the interface between transition-metal oxides $LaAlO_3$ (LAO) and $SrTiO_3$ (STO) is frequently related to mobile electrons interacting with localized magnetic moments. However nature and properties of magnetism at this interface are not well understood so far. In this paper, we focus on transport effects driven by spin-orbit coupling and intentionally neglect possible strong correlations. The electrical resistivity tensor is calculated as a function of the magnitude and orientation of an external magnetic field parallel to the interface. The semiclassical Boltzmann equation is solved numerically for the two-dimensional system of spin-orbit coupled electrons accelerated by an electric field and scattered by spatially-correlated impurities. At temperatures of a few Kelvin and densities such that the chemical potential crosses the second pair of spin-orbit split bands, we find a strongly anisotropic modulation of the (negative) magnetoresistance above 10 T, characterized by multiple maxima and minima away from the crystalline axes. Along with the drop of the magnetoresistance, an abrupt enhancement of the transverse resistivity occurs. The angular modulation of the latter considerably deviates from a (low-field) sinusoidal dependence to a (high-field) step-like behaviour. These peculiar features are the consequences of the anisotropy of both (intra-band and inter-band ) scattering-amplitudes in the Brillouin zone when the relevant energy scales in the system - chemical potential, spin-orbit interaction and Zeeman energy - are all comparable to each other. The theory provides good qualitative agreement with experimental data in the literature.

description: In this paper, I investigate the nonlinear magnetized black holes of massive gravity's rainbow. In order to achieve this, I use the double-logarithmic electromagnetic field as a matter source and derive the new anti-de Sitter black hole solution. The effects of the massive graviton, rainbow functions, and nonlinearity of the electromagnetic field on the black hole's inner and outer horizons are also studied. The black hole's thermodynamic properties are studied, and the mathematical expressions for temperature, heat capacity, and Gibbs free energy are found. The extended first law and Smarr's formula are derived as well. Using the behaviour of thermodynamic quantities as a starting point, I also study the local and global thermodynamic stabilities.

description: The notion of singular generalized Finsler spacetime and singular generalized Berwald spacetime are introduced and their relevance for the description of classical gravity discussed. A method to construct examples of such generalized Berwald spacetimes is sketched. The method is applied at two different levels of generality. First, a class of flat, singular generalized Berwald spacetimes is obtained. Then in an attempt of further generalization, a class of non-flat generalized Berwald spacetimes is presented and the associated Einstein field equations are discussed. In this context, an argument in favour of a small value of the cosmological constant is given. The physical significance of the models is briefly discussed in the last section.

description: Second-order phase transitions have no latent heat and are characterized by a change in symmetry. In addition to the conventional symmetric and anti-symmetric states under permutations of bosons and fermions, mathematical group-representation theory allows for non-Abelian permutation symmetry. Such symmetry can be hidden in states with defined total spins of spinor gases, which can be formed in optical cavities. The present work shows that the symmetry reveals itself in spin-independent or coordinate-independent properties of these gases, namely as non-Abelian entropy in thermodynamic properties. In weakly interacting Fermi gases, two phases appear associated with fermionic and non-Abelian symmetry under permutations of particle states, respectively. The second-order transitions between the phases are characterized by discontinuities in specific heat. Unlike other phase transitions, the present ones are not caused by interactions and can appear even in ideal gases. Similar effects in Bose gases and strong interactions are discussed.

description: Die Didaktik an Hochschulen steht mit der Etablierung der digital vernetzten Informations- und Kommunikations-Medien in Lehr-Lernkontexten vor einem Dilemma - und damit zugleich vor zwei neuen Aufgaben. Hypermediale Lernsysteme, Lernplattformen, Kontentmanagementsysteme und virtuelle Environments für das Lernen erfordern didaktische Unterlegung. Elaborierte, medienspezifische Didaktiken sind gefragt und müssen als didaktische Modellierungen profiliert und eingeschrieben werden. Damit stellt sich ein Problem in Folge: Indem didaktische Modellierungen sich in die hypermedialen Umgebungen des Lernens einschreiben und in softwaretechnischen Lösungen aggregieren, verschwinden sie in den "black-boxes" technischer Artefakte als Selektionen, Modellierungen und Adaptationen. Beginnen sich gerade die Beschreibungen von Metakompetenzen im Kontext von IuK-Techniken als Metadaten und didaktische Modellierungen zu profilieren, drohen sie schon wieder an den Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstellen unsichtbar zu werden. Das Konzept der didaktischen Metamodellierung für ein virtuelles Coaching versucht einen Beitrag zur Lösung.

We construct stock trading networks based on the limit order book data and classify traders into $k$ classes using the $k$-shell decomposition method. We investigate the influences of trading behaviors on the price impact by comparing a closed national market (A-shares) with an international market (B-shares), individuals and institutions, partially filled and filled trades, buyer-initiated and seller-initiated trades, and trades at different positions of a trading network. Institutional traders professionally use some trading strategies to reduce the price impact and individuals at the same positions in the trading network have a higher price impact than institutions. We also find that trades in the core have higher price impacts than those in the peripheral shell.

description: Objective: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated promise in automated cardiac magnetic resonance image segmentation. However, when using CNNs in a large real-world dataset, it is important to quantify segmentation uncertainty and identify segmentations which could be problematic. In this work, we performed a systematic study of Bayesian and non-Bayesian methods for estimating uncertainty in segmentation neural networks. Methods: We evaluated Bayes by Backprop, Monte Carlo Dropout, Deep Ensembles, and Stochastic Segmentation Networks in terms of segmentation accuracy, probability calibration, uncertainty on out-of-distribution images, and segmentation quality control. Results: We observed that Deep Ensembles outperformed the other methods except for images with heavy noise and blurring distortions. We showed that Bayes by Backprop is more robust to noise distortions while Stochastic Segmentation Networks are more resistant to blurring distortions. For segmentation quality control, we showed that segmentation uncertainty is correlated with segmentation accuracy for all the methods. With the incorporation of uncertainty estimates, we were able to reduce the percentage of poor segmentation to 5% by flagging 31--48% of the most uncertain segmentations for manual review, substantially lower than random review without using neural network uncertainty (reviewing 75--78% of all images). Conclusion: This work provides a comprehensive evaluation of uncertainty estimation methods and showed that Deep Ensembles outperformed other methods in most cases. Significance: Neural network uncertainty measures can help identify potentially inaccurate segmentations and alert users for manual review.

description: We propose a numerical method for explicitly constructing a complete set of local integrals of motion (LIOM) and definitely show the existence of LIOM for strongly many-body localized systems. The method combines exact diagonalization and nonlinear minimization, and gradually deforms the LIOM for the noninteracting case to those for the interacting case. By using this method we find that for strongly disordered and weakly interacting systems, there are two characteristic lengths in the LIOM. The first one is governed by disorder and is of Anderson-localization nature. The second one is induced by interaction but shows a discontinuity at zero interaction, showing a nonperturbative nature. We prove that the entanglement and correlation in any eigenstate extend not longer than twice the second length and thus the eigenstates of the system are `quasi-product states' with such a localization length.

description: Trip destination prediction is an area of increasing importance in many applications such as trip planning, autonomous driving and electric vehicles. Even though this problem could be naturally addressed in an online learning paradigm where data is arriving in a sequential fashion, the majority of research has rather considered the offline setting. In this paper, we present a unified framework for trip destination prediction in an online setting, which is suitable for both online training and online prediction. For this purpose, we develop two clustering algorithms and integrate them within two online prediction models for this problem. We investigate the different configurations of clustering algorithms and prediction models on a real-world dataset. We demonstrate that both the clustering and the entire framework yield consistent results compared to the offline setting. Finally, we propose a novel regret metric for evaluating the entire online framework in comparison to its offline counterpart. This metric makes it possible to relate the source of erroneous predictions to either the clustering or the prediction model. Using this metric, we show that the proposed methods converge to a probability distribution resembling the true underlying distribution with a lower regret than all of the baselines.

description: Microgrids are localized electrical grids with control capability that are able to disconnect from the traditional grid to operate autonomously. They strengthen grid resilience, help mitigate grid disturbances, and support a flexible grid by enabling the integration of distributed energy resources. Given the likely presence of critical loads, the proper protection of microgrids is of vital importance; however, this is complicated in the case of inverter-interfaced microgrids where low fault currents preclude the use of conventional time-overcurrent protection. This paper introduces and investigates the application of dynamic state estimation, a generalization of differential protection, for the protection of radial portions of microgrids (or distribution networks); both phasor-based and dynamic approaches are investigated for protection. It is demonstrated through experiments on three case-study systems that dynamic state estimation is capable of correctly identifying model parameters for both normal and faulted operation.

description: We study the effects of short-range interactions on a generalized three-dimensional Weyl semimetal, where the band touching points act as the (anti)monopoles of Abelian Berry curvature of strength $n$. We show that any local interaction has a \emph{negative} scaling dimension $-2/n$. Consequently all Weyl semimetals are stable against weak short-range interactions. For sufficiently strong interactions, we demonstrate that the Weyl semimetal either undergoes a first order transition into a band insulator or a continuous transition into a symmetry breaking phase. A translational symmetry breaking axion insulator and a rotational symmetry breaking semimetal are two prominent candidates for the broken symmetry phase. At the one-loop order, the correlation length exponent for continuous transitions is $ν=n/2$, indicating their non-Gaussian nature for any $n>1$. We also discuss the scaling of the thermodynamic and transport quantities in general Weyl semimetals as well as inside the broken symmetry phases.

description: The effect of thermal fluctuations near a contact line of a liquid interface partially wetting an impenetrable substrate is studied analytically and numerically. Promoting both the interface profile and the contact line position to random variables, we explore the equilibrium properties of the corresponding fluctuating contact line problem based on an interfacial Hamiltonian involving a "contact" binding potential. To facilitate an analytical treatment we consider the case of a one-dimensional interface. The effective boundary condition at the contact line is determined by a dimensionless parameter that encodes the relative importance of thermal energy and substrate energy at the microscopic scale. We find that this parameter controls the transition from a partially wetting to a pseudo-partial wetting state, the latter being characterized by a thin prewetting film of fixed thickness. In the partial wetting regime, instead, the profile typically approaches the substrate via an exponentially thinning prewetting film. We show that, independently of the physics at the microscopic scale, Young's angle is recovered sufficiently far from the substrate. The fluctuations of the interface and of the contact line give rise to an effective disjoining pressure, exponentially decreasing with height. Fluctuations therefore provide a regularization of the singular contact forces occurring in the corresponding deterministic problem.

description: Stochastic microstructure reconstruction involves digital generation of microstructures that match key statistics and characteristics of a (set of) target microstructure(s). This process enables computational analyses on ensembles of microstructures without having to perform exhaustive and costly experimental characterizations. Statistical functions-based and deep learning-based methods are among the stochastic microstructure reconstruction approaches applicable to a wide range of material systems. In this paper, we integrate statistical descriptors as well as feature maps from a pre-trained deep neural network into an overall loss function for an optimization based reconstruction procedure. This helps us to achieve significant computational efficiency in reconstructing microstructures that retain the critically important physical properties of the target microstructure. A numerical example for the microstructure reconstruction of bi-phase random porous ceramic material demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed methodology. We further perform a detailed finite element analysis (FEA) of the reconstructed microstructures to calculate effective elastic modulus, effective thermal conductivity and effective hydraulic conductivity, in order to analyse the algorithm's capacity to capture the variability of these material properties with respect to those of the target microstructure. This method provides an economic, efficient and easy-to-use approach for reconstructing random multiphase materials in 2D which has the potential to be extended to 3D structures.
Quantum quenching of radiation losses in short laser pulses

description: Accelerated charges radiate, and therefore must lose energy. The impact of this energy loss on particle motion, called radiation reaction, becomes significant in intense-laser matter interactions, where it can reduce collision energies, hinder particle acceleration schemes, and is seemingly unavoidable. Here we show that this common belief breaks down in short laser pulses, and that energy losses and radiation reaction can be controlled and effectively switched off by appropriate tuning of the pulse length. This "quenching" of emission is impossible in classical physics, but becomes possible in QED due to the discrete nature of quantum emissions.

description: This study investigated the potential protective effects of ginseng on gamma-irradiation-induced oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction in rats. Twenty four male albino rats were divided into four groups. In the control group, rats were administered vehicle by tube for 7 consecutive days. The second group was administered ginseng extract (100 mg/kg, by gavage) for 7 consecutive days. Animals in the third group were administered vehicle by tube for 7 consecutive days, then exposed to single dose gamma-irradiation (6 Gy). The Fourth group received ginseng extract for 7 consecutive days, one hour later rats were exposed to gamma-irradiation. Oral administration of ginseng extract prior to irradiation produced a significant protection which was evidenced by a significant reduction in serum creatine kinase (CPK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), urea and creatinine levels with significant increase in serum total nitrate/nitrite (NO(x)) level. Moreover, ginseng significantly increased cardiac and renal superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) activities, and reduced glutathione (GSH) content, associated with a significant depletion in malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO(x) levels compared to irradiated group. This study suggests that ginseng may serve as a potential protective agent against gamma-irradiation-induced cardio-nephrotoxicity via enhancing the antioxidant activity and inhibition of endothelial dysfunction.

description: An important problem in quantum information is the practical demonstration of non-classical long-range order on quantum computers. One of the best known examples of a quantum system with non-classical long-range order is a superconductor. Here we achieve Cooper pairing of qubits on a quantum computer to represent superconducting or superfluid states. We rigorously confirm the quantum long-range order by measuring the large $O(N)$ eigenvalue of the two-electron reduced density matrix. The demonstration of maximal quantum long-range order is an important step towards more complex modeling of superconductivity and superfluidity as well as other phenomena with significant quantum long-range order on quantum computers.

description: The Ising model in two dimensions with special toroidal boundary conditions is analyzed. These boundary condition, which we call duality twisted boundary conditions, may be interpreted as inserting a specific defect line ("seam") in the system, along non-contractible circles of the cylinder, before closing it into a torus. We derive exact expressions for the eigenvalues of the transfer matrix for the critical ferromagnetic Ising model on the M x N square lattice wrapped on the torus with a specific defect line. As result we have obtained analytically the partition function for the Ising model with such boundary conditions. In the case of infinitely long cylinders of circumference L with duality twisted boundary conditions we obtain the asymptotic expansion of the free energy and the inverse correlation lengths. We find that the ratio of subdominant finite-size correction terms in the asymptotic expansion of the free energy and the inverse correlation lengths should be universal. We verify such universal behavior in the framework of perturbating conformal approach by calculating the universal structure constant Cn1n for descendent states generated by the operator product expansion (OPE) of the primary fields. For such states the calculations of the universal structure constants is difficult task, since its involve the knowledge of the four-point correlation function, which in general does not fix by conformal invariance except for some particular cases, including the Ising model.
