Serially-regulated biological networks fully realize a constrained set of functions

description: We show that biological networks with serial regulation (each node regulated by at most one other node) are constrained to {\it direct functionality}, in which the sign of the effect of an environmental input on a target species depends only on the direct path from the input to the target, even when there is a feedback loop allowing for multiple interaction pathways. Using a stochastic model for a set of small transcriptional regulatory networks that have been studied experimentally, we further find that all networks can achieve all functions permitted by this constraint under reasonable settings of biochemical parameters. This underscores the functional versatility of the networks.

Quantum theory of exciton-photon coupling in photonic crystal slabs with embedded quantum wells

description: A theoretical description of radiation-matter coupling for semiconductor-based photonic crystal slabs is presented, in which quantum wells are embedded within the waveguide core layer. A full quantum theory is developed, by quantizing both the electromagnetic field with a spatial modulation of the refractive index and the exciton center of mass field in a periodic piecewise constant potential. The second-quantized hamiltonian of the interacting system is diagonalized with a generalized Hopfield method, thus yielding the complex dispersion of mixed exciton-photon modes including losses. The occurrence of both weak and strong coupling regimes is studied, and it is concluded that the new eigenstates of the system are described by quasi-particles called photonic crystal polaritons, which can occur in two situations: (i) below the light line, when a resonance between exciton and non-radiative photon levels occurs (guided polaritons), (ii) above the light line, provided the exciton-photon coupling is larger than the intrinsic radiative damping of the resonant photonic mode (radiative polaritons). For a square lattice of air holes, it is found that the energy minimum of the lower polariton branch can occur around normal incidence. The latter result has potential implications for the realization of polariton parametric interactions in photonic crystal slabs.

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Based on information theory, we present a method to determine an optimal Markov approximation for modelling and prediction from time series data. The method finds a balance between minimal modelling errors by taking as much as possible memory into account and minimal statistical errors by working in embedding spaces of rather small dimension. A key ingredient is an estimate of the statistical error of entropy estimates. The method is illustrated with several examples and the consequences for prediction are evaluated by means of the root mean squard prediction error for point prediction.

Hairy black resonators and the AdS$_4$ superradiant instability

description: The superradiant instability of Kerr-AdS black holes is studied by numerically solving the full 3+1 dimensional Einstein equations. We find that the superradiant instability results in a two stage process with distinct initial and secondary instabilities. At the end of the secondary instability the geometry oscillates at several distinct fundamental frequencies -- a multi-oscillating black hole. The multi-oscillating black hole is remarkably close to a black resonator, albeit with a bit of gravitational hair. During the hairy black resonator epoch, the evolution of the horizon area is consistent with the exponential approach to a constant. By employing different seed perturbations in the initial Kerr-AdS geometry, we also demonstrate that the black resonator's hair is not unique. In the dual quantum field theory description, rotation invariance is spontaneously broken and the energy density is negative in some regions, signaling an exotic state of matter which does not relax to a stationary configuration.

Angular momentum projection in the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: The angular momentum projection (AMP) method is implemented in the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc) with the point-coupling density functional. The wave functions of angular momentum projected states are expanded in terms of the Dirac Woods-Saxon (WS) basis, providing a proper description of the asymptotic behavior of the wave functions for weakly bound nuclei. The contribution of continuum induced by the pairing is considered by treating the pairing correlation with the Bogoliubov transformation. We present the formulae and numerical checks for the DRHBc+AMP approach and use it to study low-lying excited states of weakly bound deformed nuclei. Our calculations show that neutron-rich magnesium isotopes $^{36,38,40}$Mg are all well deformed nuclei. The low-lying excited states of these three nuclei are obtained by performing the AMP on the mean-field ground-states. The ground-state rotational bands of $^{36,38,40}$Mg are reproduced reasonably well by using this new DRHBc+AMP approach with the density functional PC-F1.

Fully Distributed Actor-Critic Architecture for Multitask Deep Reinforcement Learning

description: We propose a fully distributed actor-critic architecture, named Diff-DAC, with application to multitask reinforcement learning (MRL). During the learning process, agents communicate their value and policy parameters to their neighbours, diffusing the information across a network of agents with no need for a central station. Each agent can only access data from its local task, but aims to learn a common policy that performs well for the whole set of tasks. The architecture is scalable, since the computational and communication cost per agent depends on the number of neighbours rather than the overall number of agents. We derive Diff-DAC from duality theory and provide novel insights into the actor-critic framework, showing that it is actually an instance of the dual ascent method. We prove almost sure convergence of Diff-DAC to a common policy under general assumptions that hold even for deep-neural network approximations. For more restrictive assumptions, we also prove that this common policy is a stationary point of an approximation of the original problem. Numerical results on multitask extensions of common continuous control benchmarks demonstrate that Diff-DAC stabilises learning and has a regularising effect that induces higher performance and better generalisation properties than previous architectures.

AID-Purifier: A Light Auxiliary Network for Boosting Adversarial Defense

description: We propose an AID-purifier that can boost the robustness of adversarially-trained networks by purifying their inputs. AID-purifier is an auxiliary network that works as an add-on to an already trained main classifier. To keep it computationally light, it is trained as a discriminator with a binary cross-entropy loss. To obtain additionally useful information from the adversarial examples, the architecture design is closely related to information maximization principles where two layers of the main classification network are piped to the auxiliary network. To assist the iterative optimization procedure of purification, the auxiliary network is trained with AVmixup. AID-purifier can be used together with other purifiers such as PixelDefend for an extra enhancement. The overall results indicate that the best performing adversarially-trained networks can be enhanced by the best performing purification networks, where AID-purifier is a competitive candidate that is light and robust.

The profile of the amplitude oscillations of the electric field component of such waves is peculiar: initially, it increases toward the center of the superconductor and, after reaching a crossover point, decreases exponentially.

description: This study investigates the ductile-to-brittle transition behavior in elliptical vibration cutting (EVC) of silicon and identifies the practical process window for ductile-regime cutting. EVC has been reported to increase the critical depth of ductile-regime cutting of silicon. This study demonstrates that the enhanced ductile cutting performance, however, is only optimal in a carefully-determined process window. The vibration amplitudes and nominal cutting velocity have significant impacts on the ductile-to-brittle transition behaviors. Systematic experiments covering a wide span of vibration amplitudes and cutting velocity have been conducted to investigate their effects. Two quantitative performance indices, the critical depth and ductile ratio, are utilized to analyze cutting performance by considering two unique characteristics of elliptical vibration cutting, i.e., the time-varying undeformed chip thickness and effective cutting direction angle. The results show that there exists a lower bound for the nominal cutting velocity to ensure the ductile-regime material removal, besides the well-known upper bound. Besides, the increases of vibration amplitudes in both the cutting and depth-of-cut (DOC) directions first enhance but then deteriorate the cutting performance. Based on the theoretical analysis and experimental results, the optimal process parameters have been recommended for the elliptical vibration cutting of silicon.

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) offers an unconditionally secure means of communication based on the laws of quantum mechanics. Currently, a major challenge is to achieve a QKD system with a 40 dB channel loss, which is required if we are to realize global scale QKD networks using communication satellites. Here we report the first QKD experiment in which secure keys were distributed over 42 dB channel loss and 200 km of optical fibre. We employed the differential phase shift quantum key distribution (DPS-QKD) protocol implemented with a 10-GHz clock frequency, and superconducting single photon detectors (SSPD) based on NbN nanowire. The SSPD offers a very low dark count rate (a few Hz) and small timing jitter (60 ps full width at half maximum). These characteristics allowed us to construct a 10-GHz clock QKD system and thus distribute secure keys over channel loss of 42 dB. In addition, we achieved a 17 kbit/s secure key rate over 105 km of optical fibre, which is two orders of magnitude higher than the previous record, and a 12.1 bit/s secure key rate over 200 km of optical fibre, which is the longest terrestrial QKD yet demonstrated. The keys generated in our experiment are secure against both general collective attacks on individual photons and a specific collective attack on multi-photons, known as a sequential unambiguous state discrimination (USD) attack.

IMPLEMENTATION OF A NURSE-DRIVEN VENTILATOR WEANING PROTOCOL AT A COMMUNITY HOSPITAL
Creators: name: Regidor Ronnell
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: This paper will review the benefits of a nurse-driven ventilator weaning protocol (NDVWP) in a community hospital that currently utilizes a physician led weaning approach. Physicians have traditionally guided ventilator weaning, however their weaning trials typically occur once a day. Because of this, there are missed opportunities during the day in which patients could be weaned off the ventilator. Nurse-driven ventilator weaning protocols have been developed to assess clinical factors indicating a patient’s eligibility to wean off the ventilator. Nurses are readily available to evaluate patients by virtue of their job. As such, a NDVWP can be utilized in the hospital to expediently start ventilator weaning trials for patients and prevent adverse events associated with prolonged mechanical ventilation.

description: We predict a new class of excitations propagating along a Josephson vortex in two-dimensional Josephson junctions. These excitations are associated with the distortion of a Josephson vortex line and have an analogy with shear waves in solid mechanics. Their shapes can have an arbitrary profile, which is retained when propagating. We derive a universal analytical expression for the energy of arbitrary shape excitations, investigate their influence on the dynamics of a vortex line, and discuss conditions where such excitations can be created. Finally, we show that such excitations play the role of a clock for a relativistically-moving Josephson vortex and suggest an experiment to measure a time dilation effect analogous to that in special relativity.

description: We discuss scattering between a bright soliton and a soliton dimer in coupled quasi-one-dimensional dipolar Bose-Einstein condensates. The dimer is formed by each soliton from both tubes due to the attractive inter-layer dipole-dipole interaction. The dipoles within each tube repel each other, and a stable, bright soliton is stabilized via attractive contact interactions. In general, the scattering is inelastic, transferring the kinetic energy into internal modes of both soliton dimer and single soliton. Our studies reveal rich scattering scenarios, including dimer-soliton repulsion at small initial velocities, exchange of atoms between dimer and single soliton and soliton fusion at intermediate velocities. Interestingly, for some particular initial velocities, the dimer-soliton scattering results in a state of two dimers. At large initial velocities, the scattering is elastic as expected.

description: We include fermions to the model proposed in hep-th/0606021, and obtain a renormalizable 4-dimensional SU(N) gauge theory which spontaneously generates fuzzy extra dimensions and behaves like Yang-Mills theory on M^4 \times S^2. We find a truncated tower of fermionic Kaluza-Klein states transforming under the low-energy gauge group, which is found to be either SU(n), or SU(n_1) x SU(n_2) x U(1). The latter case implies a nontrivial U(1) flux on S^2, leading to would-be zero modes for the bifundamental fermions. In the non-chiral case they may pair up to acquire a mass, and the emerging picture is that of mirror fermions. We discuss the possible implementation of a chirality constraint in 6 dimensions, which is nontrivial at the quantum level due to the fuzzy nature of the extra dimensions.

description: A modified method of functional constraints is used to construct the exact solutions of nonlinear equations of reaction-diffusion type with delay and which are associated with variable coefficients. This study considers a most generalized form of nonlinear equations of reaction-diffusion type with delay and which are nonlinear and associated with variable coefficients. A novel technique is used in this study to obtain the exact solutions which are new and are of the form of traveling-wave solutions. Arbitrary functions are present in the solutions and they also contain free parameters, which make them suitable for usage in solving certain modeling problems, testing numerical and approximate analytical methods. The results of this study also find applications in obtaining the exact solutions of other forms of partial differential equations which are more complex. Specific examples of nonlinear equations of reaction-diffusion type with delay are given and their exact solutions are presented. Solutions of certain reaction-diffusion equations are also displayed graphically.
L'économie circulaire :  Un défi pour une économie durable en RD Congo en 2025

description: Le concept d'économie circulaire est le fruit d'une évolution progressive des théories économiques, écologiques et industrielles, visant à repenser le modèle économique linéaire traditionnel, basé sur l'extraction, la production, la consommation et le rejet des déchets, qui s'est révélé inefficace et insoutenable à long terme. En s'appuyant sur des principes de durabilité, d'innovation et de collaboration, l'économie circulaire propose une alternative pertinente au modèle linéaire. C’est une opportunité majeure pour répondre aux défis mondiaux de finitude et/ou de raréfaction des ressources, de changement climatique et de gestion des déchets.

description: Cognitive impairment by changes in the sleep-wake cycle may be present in individuals with migraine. Adjuvant evaluation methods in this area may favor the search for new treatments. We investigated the relationship between possible changes in the rest-activity rhythm (RAR) and visuospatial memory in individuals with chronic migraine (CM) using actigraphy and the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCFT), respectively. Actigraphy was analyzed in healthy individuals (CG) and patients with CM (CMG) for 15 days. The CMG had a longer latency time to start copying, copying time and visuospatial memory recall in comparison to the CG. However, there were no differences regarding short-term memory between groups. The lower relative amplitude and rhythmic percentage of the RAR contributed to the higher latency to initiate copying in CMG. In conclusion, misalignment of the RAR could be associated with a slower mnemonic processing speed in individuals with CM than in healthy individuals.

description: As deep learning becomes more expensive, both in terms of time and compute, inefficiencies in machine learning (ML) training prevent practical usage of state-of-the-art models for most users. The newest model architectures are simply too large to be fit onto a single processor. To address the issue, many ML practitioners have turned to model parallelism as a method of distributing the computational requirements across several devices. Unfortunately, the sequential nature of neural networks causes very low efficiency and device utilization in model parallel training jobs. We propose a new form of "shard parallelism" combining task and model parallelism, then package it into a framework we name Hydra. Hydra recasts the problem of model parallelism in the multi-model context to produce a fine-grained parallel workload of independent model shards, rather than independent models. This new parallel design promises dramatic speedups relative to the traditional model parallelism paradigm.

description: We expound the impact of extra sterile species on the ultra high energy neutrino fluxes in neutrino telescopes. We use three types of well-known flux ratios and compare the values of these flux ratios in presence of sterile neutrinos, with those predicted by deviation from the tribimaximal mixing scheme. We show that in the upcoming neutrino telescopes, its easy to confuse between the signature of sterile neutrinos with that of the deviation from tribimaximal mixing. We also show that if the measured flux ratios acquire a value well outside the range predicted by the standard scenario with three active neutrinos only, it might be possible to tell the presence of extra sterile neutrinos by observing ultra high energy neutrinos in future neutrino telescopes.

description: Using the Duffing equation to model body temperature’s circadian rhythms, we simulated four cases with varying driving force parameters γ (0.32, 0.33, 0.34, and 0.35). We compared these simulations to published experimental data using Fourier and entropy analyses along Poincaré sections. For normal work-sleep conditions (γ = 0.35), the system showed precise resetting at specific times. Under shift work conditions (γ = 0.34), resetting behavior was reduced, causing a phase shift in the rhythm. Long-term constant temperature conditions (γ = 0.33) displayed a reset at the period’s start, similar to normal conditions. With no external driving forces (γ = 0.32), multiple resets occurred within the period, emphasizing the need for frequent resets to maintain stability. The simulation results align partially with experimental data, highlighting the system’s adaptability to external changes.
