description: Trade is one of the essential feature of human intelligence. The securities market is the ultimate expression of it. The fundamental indicators of stocks include information as well as the effects of noise and bias on the stock prices; however, identifying the effects of noise and bias is generally difficult. In this article, I present the true fundamentals hypothesis based on rational expectations and detect the global bias components from the actual fundamental indicators by using a log-normal distribution model based on the true fundamentals hypothesis. The analysis results show that biases generally exhibit the same characteristics, strongly supporting the true fundamentals hypothesis. Notably, the positive price-to-cash flows from the investing activities ratio is a proxy for the true fundamentals. Where do these biases come from? The answer is extremely simple: ``Cash is a fact, profit is an opinion.'' Namely, opinions of management and accounting are added to true fundamentals. As a result, Kesten process is realized and the Pareto distribution is to be obtained. This means that the market knows it and represents as a stable global bias in the stock market.

description: The PhiC31 integration system allows for targeted and efficient transgene integration and expression by recognizing pseudo attP sites in mammalian cells and integrating the exogenous genes into the open chromatin regions of active chromatin. In order to investigate the regulatory patterns of efficient gene expression in the open chromatin region of PhiC31 integration, this study utilized Ubiquitous Chromatin Opening Element (UCOE) and activating RNA (saRNA) to modulate the chromatin structure in the promoter region of the PhiC31 integration vector. The study analysed the effects of DNA methylation and nucleosome occupancy changes in the integrated promoter on gene expression levels. The results showed that for the OCT4 promoter with moderate CG density, DNA methylation had a smaller impact on expression compared to changes in nucleosome positioning near the transcription start site, which was crucial for enhancing downstream gene expression. On the other hand, for the SOX2 promoter with high CG density, increased methylation in the CpG island upstream of the transcription start site played a key role in affecting high expression, but the positioning and clustering of nucleosomes also had an important influence. In conclusion, analysing the DNA methylation patterns, nucleosome positioning, and quantity distribution of different promoters can determine whether the PhiC31 integration site possesses the potential to further enhance expression or overcome transgene silencing effects by utilizing chromatin regulatory elements.

description: In 1976, I met John Bell several times in CERN and we talked about a possible violation of optical theorem, purity tests, EPR paradox, Bell inequalities and their violation. I review our discussions, and explain how they were related to my earlier research. I also reproduce handwritten notes, which I gave to Bell during our first meeting and a handwritten letter he sent to me in 1982. We have never met again, but I have continued to discuss BI-CHSH inequalities and their violation in several papers. The research stimulated by Bell papers and experiments performed to check his inequalities led to several important applications of quantum entanglement in quantum information and quantum technologies. Unfortunately, it led also to extraordinary metaphysical claims and speculations about quantum nonlocality and retro-causality, which in our opinion John Bell would not endorse today. BI-CHSH inequalities are violated in physics and in cognitive science, but it neither proved the completeness of quantum mechanics nor its nonlocality. Quantum computing advantage is not due to some magical instantaneous influences between distant physical systems. Therefore one has to be cautious in drawing far-reaching philosophical conclusions from Bell inequalities.

description: In this paper, we systematically investigate the short periodic orbits of the Lorenz system by the aid of the similarity signature curve, and a novel method to find the short-period orbits of the Lorenz system is proposed. The similarity invariants are derived by the equivariant moving frame theory and then the similarity signature curve occurs along with them. The similarity signature curve of the Lorenz system presents a more regular behavior than the original one. By combining the sliding window method, the quasi-periodic orbits can be detected numerically, all periodic orbits with period $p \leqslant 8$ in the Lorenz system are found, and their period lengths and symbol sequences are calculated.

description: The structural adjustments of the sugar-phosphate DNA backbone (switching of the γ angle (O5′–C5′–C4′–C3′) from canonical to alternative conformations and/or C2′-endo → C3′-endo transition of deoxyribose) lead to the sequence-specific changes in accessible surface area of both polar and non-polar atoms of the grooves and the polar/hydrophobic profile of the latter ones. The distribution of the minor groove electrostatic potential is likely to be changing as a result of such conformational rearrangements in sugar-phosphate DNA backbone. Our analysis of the crystal structures of the short free DNA fragments and calculation of their electrostatic potentials allowed us to determine: (1) the number of classical and alternative γ angle conformations in the free B-DNA; (2) changes in the minor groove electrostatic potential, depending on the conformation of the sugar-phosphate DNA backbone; (3) the effect of the DNA sequence on the minor groove electrostatic potential. We have demonstrated that the structural adjustments of the DNA double helix (the conformations of the sugar-phosphate backbone and the minor groove dimensions) induce changes in the distribution of the minor groove electrostatic potential and are sequence-specific. Therefore, these features of the minor groove sizes and distribution of minor groove electrostatic potential can be used as a signal for recognition of the target DNA sequence by protein in the implementation of the indirect readout mechanism.

description: We study the prospects for observing exotic decays of the Standard Model Higgs boson $h$ into light beyond the Standard Model scalars $a$ with mass $m_{a} \lesssim m_{h}/2$ in the single Higgs and Higgs pair production channels at the high luminosity run of the Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC). Discovery prospects for single Higgs production in the gluon-gluon fusion and vector boson fusion modes with the Higgs boson decaying via the exotic mode $h \to aa \to 4τ$ are analyzed at the HL-LHC. The projected sensitivity for exotic Higgs decays in the non-resonant Higgs pair production channel $pp \to hh \to (h \to b\bar{b})(h \to aa \to 4τ) \to 2b4τ$ at the HL-LHC and a future $\sqrt{s}=100~$TeV hadron collider (FCC-hh) are also estimated. Furthermore, we study HL-LHC's potential reach for the Higgs-strahlung process in the $2b4τ$ channel, taking into account the contamination from non-resonant Higgs pair production. Finally, the potential reach for resonant Higgs pair production in the $2b4τ$ channel %$pp \to H \to (h \to b\bar{b})(h \to aa \to 4τ)$ at the HL-LHC is also explored for several choices of $\{m_{H},m_{a}\}$. Our studies suggest that significant improvements over existing bounds are achievable in several production channels, motivating new dedicated searches for $h \rightarrow aa \rightarrow 4 τ$ at the HL-LHC and future colliders.

description: Large-scale landslide occurred in Margamukti village, Pangalengan, Bandung Regency, West Java Province,Indonesia. The landslide damaged geothermal gas pipeline along 300 m in Wayang Windu Geothermal Field. Based onfield observation, landslide occured in rotational sliding movement. Laboratory analysis were conducted to obtain the characteristics of the soil. Based on the condition of the landslide in this area, the Factor of Safety can be simulated by the soil mechanics approach. Factor of safety analysis based on soil cohesion and internal friction angle was conducted using manual sensitivity analysis for back analysis. The analysis resulted soil cohesion in critical condition (FS<1) is 6.01 kPa. This value is smaller than cohesion of undisturbed slope soil sample. Water from rainfall is the most important instability factors in research area. Because it decreases cohesion in soils and increases weight and pore water pressure in granular media.

This can be applied to prove the equidistribution of generic and small points with respect to a big and semipositive adelic line bundle. Our methods can be applied to the finite places of number fields as well. We also show the continuity of $χ$-volumes over function fields.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: This work explores the hypothesis that time is not a fundamental linear dimension but an emergent property arising from the nonlinear dynamics of spacetime curvature. Motivated by the limitations of classical time descriptions and the persistent challenges of quantum gravity, we extend the Einstein-Hilbert action by incorporating higher-order curvature corrections. This framework allows us to investigate temporal anomalies within a unified theoretical context. Analytical solutions are obtained via perturbation methods employing multiple scales, and their validity is confirmed through comprehensive numerical simulations. Recent approaches to emergent time in quantum gravity are reviewed to position our contribution within the broader landscape of current research.

description: We study two semiclassical limits of $SU(2)$ Yang-Mills theory on a spatial torus with a 't Hooft twist: the ``femtouniverse,'' where all $\mathbb{T}^3$ directions are small, and deformed Yang-Mills theory on $\mathbb{T}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^1$, with small $\mathbb{S}^1$ and large or infinite $\mathbb{T}^2$. Carefully defining the symmetries, we show that the classical ground states, while different, have the same transformation properties under the 1-form center symmetry and parity. We argue that this is behind the identical multi-branch $θ$-dependent vacuum structure of these theories. We then calculate the one-loop potential for the $\mathbb{S}^1$-holonomy in the presence of twists on $\mathbb{T}^2$. We use it to study the quantum stability of the semiclassical ground states in gauge theories with massive or massless adjoint fermions on spatial $\mathbb{T}^2 \times \mathbb{S}^1$, with a twist in the $\mathbb{T}^2$. The results point towards some interesting features worthy of further study.

description: This paper studies convergence properties of inexact iterative solution schemes for bilevel optimization problems. Bilevel optimization problems emerge in control-aware design optimization, where the system design parameters are optimized in the outer loop and a discrete-time control trajectory is optimized in the inner loop, but also arise in other domains including machine learning. In the paper an interconnection of proximal gradient algorithms is proposed to solve the inner loop and outer loop optimization problems in the setting of control-aware design optimization and robustness is analyzed from a control-theoretic perspective. By employing input-to-state stability arguments, conditions are derived that ensure convergence of the interconnected scheme to the optimal solution for a class of the bilevel optimization problem.

description: We investigate the distributed dense coding (DC) protocol, involving multiple senders and a single or two receivers under the influence of non-Markovian noise, acting on the encoded qubits transmitted from senders to the receiver(s). We compare the effects of non-Markovianity on DC both for the dephasing and depolarising channels. In the case of dephasing channels, we illustrate that for some classes of states, high non-Markovian strength can eradicate the negative influence of noisy channels which is not observed for depolarizing noise. Furthermore, we incorporate randomness into the noise models by replacing the Pauli matrices with random unitaries and demonstrate the constructive impact of stochastic noise models on the quenched averaged dense coding capacity. Interestingly, we report that the detrimental effect of non-Markovian depolarising channels in the DC protocol can be eliminated when randomness is added to the channel.

description: Accurate uncertainty quantification is necessary to enhance the reliability of deep learning models in real-world applications. In the case of regression tasks, prediction intervals (PIs) should be provided along with the deterministic predictions of deep learning models. Such PIs are useful or "high-quality" as long as they are sufficiently narrow and capture most of the probability density. In this paper, we present a method to learn prediction intervals for regression-based neural networks automatically in addition to the conventional target predictions. In particular, we train two companion neural networks: one that uses one output, the target estimate, and another that uses two outputs, the upper and lower bounds of the corresponding PI. Our main contribution is the design of a novel loss function for the PI-generation network that takes into account the output of the target-estimation network and has two optimization objectives: minimizing the mean prediction interval width and ensuring the PI integrity using constraints that maximize the prediction interval probability coverage implicitly. Furthermore, we introduce a self-adaptive coefficient that balances both objectives within the loss function, which alleviates the task of fine-tuning. Experiments using a synthetic dataset, eight benchmark datasets, and a real-world crop yield prediction dataset showed that our method was able to maintain a nominal probability coverage and produce significantly narrower PIs without detriment to its target estimation accuracy when compared to those PIs generated by three state-of-the-art neural-network-based methods. In other words, our method was shown to produce higher-quality PIs.

description: For multivariate data, tandem clustering is a well-known technique aiming to improve cluster identification through initial dimension reduction. Nevertheless, the usual approach using principal component analysis (PCA) has been criticized for focusing solely on inertia so that the first components do not necessarily retain the structure of interest for clustering. To address this limitation, a new tandem clustering approach based on invariant coordinate selection (ICS) is proposed. By jointly diagonalizing two scatter matrices, ICS is designed to find structure in the data while providing affine invariant components. Certain theoretical results have been previously derived and guarantee that under some elliptical mixture models, the group structure can be highlighted on a subset of the first and/or last components. However, ICS has garnered minimal attention within the context of clustering. Two challenges associated with ICS include choosing the pair of scatter matrices and selecting the components to retain. For effective clustering purposes, it is demonstrated that the best scatter pairs consist of one scatter matrix capturing the within-cluster structure and another capturing the global structure. For the former, local shape or pairwise scatters are of great interest, as is the minimum covariance determinant (MCD) estimator based on a carefully chosen subset size that is smaller than usual. The performance of ICS as a dimension reduction method is evaluated in terms of preserving the cluster structure in the data. In an extensive simulation study and empirical applications with benchmark data sets, various combinations of scatter matrices as well as component selection criteria are compared in situations with and without outliers. Overall, the new approach of tandem clustering with ICS shows promising results and clearly outperforms the PCA-based approach.

description: We consider the localization landscape function $u$ and ground state eigenvalue $λ$ for operators on graphs. We first show that the maximum of the landscape function is comparable to the reciprocal of the ground state eigenvalue if the operator satisfies certain semigroup kernel upper bounds. This implies general upper and lower bounds on the landscape product $λ\|u\|_\infty$ for several models, including the Anderson model and random hopping (bond-disordered) models, on graphs that are roughly isometric to $\mathbb{Z}^d$, as well as on some fractal-like graphs such as the Sierpinski gasket graph. Next, we specialize to a random hopping model on $\mathbb{Z}$, and show that as the size of the chain grows, the landscape product $λ\|u\|_\infty$ approaches $π^2/8$ for Bernoulli off-diagonal disorder, and has the same upper bound of $π^2/8$ for Uniform([0,1]) off-diagonal disorder. We also numerically study the random hopping model when the band width (hopping distance) is greater than one, and provide strong numerical evidence that a similar approximation holds for low-lying energies in the spectrum.

description: The main aim of the study was to establish in vivo a correlation between equol (EQU) production and a number of intestinal bacteria able to perform the transformation. Thus, healthy female volunteers were selected for their ability to convert slowly (n = 6, 105–109 cells/g wet feces) or quickly (n = 6, 1010–1012 cells/g wet feces) daidzein (DAI) in EQU. After oral administration of 100 mg DAI in soymilk, plasma (0–99 h) and urine (0–96 h) samples were collected. DAI and its metabolites were determined by LC-MS/MS and EQU -conjugates by UPLC-High Resolution-MS. Only for EQU a direct correlation was found between the number of transforming microorganisms and parameters such as tmax and t1/2 (p = 0.027). Peak serum concentration time, Cmax, AUC0–72 h and t1/2 for total EQU (n = 12) were 36 ± 10 h, 89 ± 78 nM, 2.4 ± 1.7 (μmol × h/L) and 15.6 ± 3.3 h, respectively. In plasma and urine EQU was found mainly as 7-O-glucuronide.

description: We study the impact of neutrino magnetic moments on astrophysical neutrinos, in particular supernova neutrinos and ultra-high energy neutrinos from extragalactic sources. We show that magnetic moment-induced conversion of left-handed neutrinos into unobservable right-handed singlet states can substantially change the flux and flavour composition of these neutrinos at Earth. Notably, neutrinos from a supernova's neutronisation burst, whose flux can be predicted with O(10%) accuracy, offer a discovery reach to neutrino magnetic moments $\sim \text{few} \times 10^{-13} μ_B$, up to one order of magnitude below current limits. For high-energy neutrinos from distant sources, for which no robust flux prediction exists, we show how the flavour composition at Earth can be used as a handle to establish the presence of non-negligible magnetic moments, potentially down to $\text{few} \times 10^{-17} μ_B$ if the measurement can be performed on neutrinos from a single source. In both cases, the sensitivity strongly depends on the galactic resp. intergalactic magnetic field profiles along the line of sight. Therefore, while a discovery is possible down to very small values of the magnetic moment, the absence of a discovery does not imply an equally strong limit. We also comment on the dependence of our results on the right-handed neutrino mass, paying special attention to the transition from coherent deflection by a classical magnetic field to incoherent scattering on individual scattering targets. Finally, we show that a measurement of Standard Model Dirac neutrino magnetic moments, of order $10^{-19} μ_B$, could be possible under rather optimistic, but not completely outrageous, assumptions using flavour ratios of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos.

description: A systematic way of data reduction for the Nishiharima Infrared Camera (NIC) polarimetry mode has been devised and implemented to an open software called NICpolpy in the programming language python (tested on version 3.8--3.10 as of writing). On top of the classical methods, including vertical pattern removal, a new way of diagonal pattern (Fourier pattern) removal has been implemented. Each image undergoes four reduction steps, resulting in "level 1" to "level 4" products, as well as nightly calibration frames. A simple tutorial and in-depth descriptions are provided, as well as the descriptions of algorithms. The dome flat frames (taken on UT 2020-06-03) were analyzed, and the pixel positions vulnerable to flat error were found. Using the dark and flat frames, the detector parameters, gain factor (the conversion factor), and readout noise are also updated. We found gain factor and readout noise are likely constants over pixel or "quadrant".

description: A butanol-type ultrafine condensation particle counter (UCPC, Model 3776, TSI, Inc., Shoreview, MN, USA), which can achieve a 50% detection efficiency diameter (d50) of 2.5 nm using a capillary-sheath structure, was modified and tested in the laboratory for airborne measurements. The aerosol flow rate through the capillary is a key factor affecting the quantification of aerosol particle number concentrations. A pressure-dependent correction factor for the aerosol flow rate was determined using a newly added mass flow meter for the sheath flow and the external calibration system. The effect of particle coincidence in the optical sensing volume was evaluated using an aerosol electrometer (AE, Model 3068B, TSI, Inc.) as a reference. An additional correction factor for the coincidence effect was derived to improve the quantification accuracy at higher concentrations. The particle detection efficiency relative to the AE was measured for mobility diameters of 3.1–50 nm and inlet absolute pressures of 101–40 kPa. The pressure dependence of the d50 value, asymptotic detection efficiency, and shape of the particle detection efficiency curve is discussed, along with simple theoretical calculations for the diffusion loss of particles and the butanol saturation ratio in the condenser. © 2017 American Association for Aerosol Science

description: Weak gravitational lensing is one of the most important probes of the nature of dark matter and dark energy. In order to extract cosmological information from next-generation weak lensing surveys (e.g., Euclid, Roman, LSST, and CSST) as much as possible, accurate measurements of weak lensing shear are required. There are existing algorithms to measure the weak lensing shear on imaging data, which have been successfully applied in previous surveys. In the meantime, machine learning (ML) has been widely recognized in various astrophysics applications in modeling and observations. In this work, we present a fully deep-learning-based approach to measuring weak lensing shear accurately. Our approach comprises two modules. The first one contains a convolutional neural network (CNN) with two branches for taking galaxy images and point spread function (PSF) simultaneously, and the output of this module includes the galaxy's magnitude, size, and shape. The second module includes a multiple-layer neural network (NN) to calibrate weak-lensing shear measurements. We name the program Forklens and make it publicly available online. Applying Forklens to CSST-like mock images, we achieve consistent accuracy with traditional approaches (such as moment-based measurement and forward model fitting) on the sources with high signal-to-noise ratios (S/N, > 20). For the sources with S/N < 10, Forklens exhibits an $\sim 36\%$ higher Pearson coefficient on galaxy ellipticity measurements. After adopting galaxy weighting, the shear measurements with Forklens deliver accuracy levels to $0.2\%$. The whole procedure of Forklens is automated and costs about $0.7$ milliseconds per galaxy, which is appropriate for adequately taking advantage of the sky coverage and depth of the upcoming weak lensing surveys.

description: The dimeric assembly of 5,11,17,23-tetrabromo-25,26,27,28-tetrahydroxy thiacalix[4]arene (2) was constructed with several interesting noncovalent interactions such as halogen bonding, sulfur···sulfur (S···S), C=O···π, and hydrogen bonding which were also supported by DFT calculations. In addition, we studied the conformational preferences of 2 using variable temperature NMR experiments. The results revealed that the compound exists in various conformations in a solution state and in a partial cone conformation in a solid state.

description: An efficient and environmentally benign method for one-pot three-component synthesis of 2-Amino-4H-chromenes has been developed by cyclocondensation of benzaldehyde, malononitrile and resorcinol using newly modified mesolite-type natural zeolite as green catalyst. The catalyst was structurally modified by sulfuric acid treatment and characterized by X-ray diffraction, FT-IR, NH3-TPD, SEM-EDS and BET. This method offers several advantages over the reported methods such as simple and inexpensive modification of catalyst, mild reaction conditions, excellent yield and reusability of catalyst.
