description: Each living species carries a complex DNA sequence that determines their unique features and functionalities. It is generally assumed that life started from a random pool of oligonucleotides sequences, generated by a prebiotic polymerization of nucleotides. The mechanism that initially facilitated the emergence of sequences that code for the function of the first species from such a random pool of sequences remains unknown. It is a central problem of the origin of life. An interesting option would be a self-selection mechanism by spontaneous symmetry breaking. Initial concentration fluctuations of specific sequence motifs would have been amplified and outcompeted less abundant sequences, enhancing the signal to noise to replicate and select functional sequences. Here, we demonstrate with experimental and theoretical findings that templated ligation would provide such a self-selection. In templated ligation, two adjacent single sequences strands are chemically joined when a third complementary strand sequence brought them in close proximity. This simple mechanism was a likely side-product of a prebiotic polymerization chemistry once the strands reach the length to form double stranded species. As shown here, the ligation gave rise to a nonlinear replication process by the cooperative ligation of matching sequences which self-promoted their own elongation. This led to a cascade of enhanced template binding and faster ligation reactions. A requirement was the reshuffling of the strands by thermal cycling, enabled for example by microscale convection. Assuming that templated ligation was driven by the same chemical mechanism that generated prebiotic polymerization of oligonucleotides, the mechanism could function as a missing link between polymerization and the self-stabilized replication, offering a pathway to the autonomous emergence of Darwinian evolution for the origin of life.

title: Rethinking 'place': the 'non-place' in London literature and film
Creators: name: Madhvani, Jaya Shakira Kamlesh

description: Compelling theories as to the socially produced nature of ‘place’ exist, which open up the possibility for analysis of and reflection on the ways in which we construct ‘place’. Thinking about ‘place’ as socially produced, rather than as material, is valuable for exploring and for perhaps negotiating some of the problems and challenges associated with today’s globalised, interconnected spatial and human geographies, such as social inequality. This thesis contributes to these discussions on the constructed nature of ‘place’ through the literary and cultural analysis of two novels and two films set in London after the beginning of the twenty-first century, those being Ishtiyaq Shukri’s novel The Silent Minaret (2005), Rachid Bouchareb’s film London River (2009), Zadie Smith’s NW novel (2012) and Sally El Hosaini’s film My Brother The Devil (2012). The analyses of the case studies presented in this thesis are theoretically framed by Marc Aug.’s concept of the ‘non-place’ as discussed in his text Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity (1992). As Aug. states, the idea of the ‘non-place’ is directly associated with social isolation and the dissolution of community. This thesis therefore fills a gap in existing literary and cultural criticism by applying the framework of the ‘non-place’ to the analyses out of an understanding of ‘place’ as socially produced, and, moreover, by situating and validating the analyses of the primary material within a postcolonial methodology with a view to developing postcolonial scholarship. Given that the idea of the ‘non-place’ is linked to social polarisation and excessive individualisation, this piece of research concludes that the novels and films analysed here are of importance as they open up questions as to whether we might imagine ‘place’ differently in order to reflect on, if not to negotiate, the welfare and cohesion of contemporary human societies.

description: Hybridized magnonic-photonic systems are key components for future information processing technologies such as storage, manipulation or conversion of data both in the classical (mostly at room temperature) and quantum (cryogenic) regime. In this work, we investigate a YIG sphere coupled strongly to a microwave cavity over the full temperature range from $290\,\mathrm{K}$ down to $30\,\mathrm{mK}$. The cavity-magnon polaritons are studied from the classical to the quantum regime where the thermal energy is less than one resonant microwave quanta, i.e. at temperatures below $1\,\mathrm{K}$. We compare the temperature dependence of the coupling strength $g_{\rm{eff}}(T)$, describing the strength of coherent energy exchange between spin ensemble and cavity photon, to the temperature behavior of the saturation magnetization evolution $M_{\rm{s}}(T)$ and find strong deviations at low temperatures. The temperature dependence of magnonic disspation is governed at intermediate temperatures by rare earth impurity scattering leading to a strong peak at $40\,$K. The linewidth $κ_{\rm{m}}$ decreases to $1.2\,$MHz at $30\,$mK, making this system suitable as a building block for quantum electrodynamics experiments. We achieve an electromagnonic cooperativity in excess of $20$ over the entire temperature range, with values beyond $100$ in the milliKelvin regime as well as at room temperature. With our measurements, spectroscopy on strongly coupled magnon-photon systems is demonstrated as versatile tool for spin material studies over large temperature ranges. Key parameters are provided in a single measurement, thus simplifying investigations significantly.

description: Progressivity in both marginal and average tax rates seems to be a universal phenomenon. Yet the optimal taxation literature does not, by and large, imply progressivity and most of the investigations of politically determined tax schedules deal with linear taxation. This paper considers the determination of the tax structure by majority rule when tax schedules are characterized by three parameters and individuals differ in ability. It is shown that if the rankings of income and of ability always coincide the set of schedules preferred by the individual with median ability is contained in the set of local majority winning schedules. Under some additional restrictions this result is extended to any (global) movement along the tax possibility frontier. The paper uses this result to demonstrate that the existence of both marginal and average progressivity of tax schedules can be explained as the outcome of a majority voting process in which the median individual is pivotal with respect to the tax schedule chosen by the political process. Marginal progressivity is more likely the stronger the right hand skewness and the larger the variance in the distribution of abilities. It is also more likely if the labor supply response to increased tax burdens of high ability individuals is smaller in absolute value than that of low ability individuals. The paper also discusses conditions for uniqueness of the tax schedule.

description: Small satellites are widely used today as cost effective means to perform Earth observation and other tasks that generate large amounts of high-dimensional data, such as multi-spectral imagery. These satellites typically operate in low earth orbit, which poses significant challenges for data transmission due to short contact times with ground stations, low bandwidth, and high packet loss probabilities. In this paper, we introduce JSCC-Sat, which applies joint source-and-channel coding using neural networks to provide efficient and robust transmission of compressed image data for satellite applications. We evaluate our mechanism against traditional transmission schemes with separate source and channel coding and demonstrate that it outperforms the existing approaches when applied to Earth observation data of the Sentinel-2 mission.

description: Individuals differ in abilities. Some are bequest constrained even in a neo- Ricardian world. They vote taxes to issue bonds to be paid by taxes on future generations, thereby increasing current consumption, crowding-out capital, reducing wage rates, and increasing the interest rate. Therefore even unconstrained individuals are not indifferent to the size of government debt Conditions conducive to larger debt and deficits are derived when each of the living generations determines current taxes, Social Security benefits and the national debt by majority rule.

Improving population-specific allele frequency estimates by adapting supplemental data: an empirical Bayes approach

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Estimation of the allele frequency at genetic markers is a key ingredient in biological and biomedical research, such as studies of human genetic variation or of the genetic etiology of heritable traits. As genetic data becomes increasingly available, investigators face a dilemma: when should data from other studies and population subgroups be pooled with the primary data? Pooling additional samples will generally reduce the variance of the frequency estimates; however, used inappropriately, pooled estimates can be severely biased due to population stratification. Because of this potential bias, most investigators avoid pooling, even for samples with the same ethnic background and residing on the same continent. Here, we propose an empirical Bayes approach for estimating allele frequencies of single nucleotide polymorphisms. This procedure adaptively incorporates genotypes from related samples, so that more similar samples have a greater influence on the estimates. In every example we have considered, our estimator achieves a mean squared error (MSE) that is smaller than either pooling or not, and sometimes substantially improves over both extremes. The bias introduced is small, as is shown by a simulation study that is carefully matched to a real data example. Our method is particularly useful when small groups of individuals are genotyped at a large number of markers, a situation we are likely to encounter in a genome-wide association study.

description: We present Shape Non-rigid Kinematics (SNK), a novel zero-shot method for non-rigid shape matching that eliminates the need for extensive training or ground truth data. SNK operates on a single pair of shapes, and employs a reconstruction-based strategy using an encoder-decoder architecture, which deforms the source shape to closely match the target shape. During the process, an unsupervised functional map is predicted and converted into a point-to-point map, serving as a supervisory mechanism for the reconstruction. To aid in training, we have designed a new decoder architecture that generates smooth, realistic deformations. SNK demonstrates competitive results on traditional benchmarks, simplifying the shape-matching process without compromising accuracy. Our code can be found online: https://github.com/pvnieo/SNK

description: This deliverable constitutes the intermediate results on the Lynx use case development for geothermal energy (GTE). Section 1 provides a brief introduction of the geothermal energy context which is used as a proxy for trends and future needs of multiple emerging alternative sustainable energy resources. The grand view that underpins this use case, is the applicability of emerging semantic technologies (knowledge graphs) for sustainable energy alternatives as they as subject to accelerated or even a transformative future growth for which friction in access to relevant regulatory data can cause delays (or require breakthroughs). Section 2 describes the use case and the progress made in engaging with the industry to learn if problems / issues are recognized and how they can be subject to this use case. It further elaborates on plausible user journeys and mock-ups of screen design how Lynx services can interact with the end-user. Section 3 describes the pilot architecture and system current in place. This section mainly talks about the front-end stack and the envisioned backend and integration with the Lynx services. Section 4 described the outlook of use case specific activities planned for the rest of the Lynx project. The report is supplemented by appendix A) Envisioned business model canvas.

description: This report is a response to the call for evidence from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy and the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles on the future of connected and automated mobility in the UK.
Executive Summary:Despite relative weaknesses in global collaboration and co-creation platforms, smart road and communication infrastructure, urban planning, and public awareness, the United Kingdom (UK) has a substantial strength in the area of Connected and Automated Mobility (CAM) by investing in research and innovation platforms for developing the underlying technologies, creating impact, and co-creation leading to innovative solutions. Many UK legal and policymaking initiatives in this domain are world leading. To sustain the UK's leading position, we make the following recommendations:â¢ The development of financial and policy-related incentive schemes for research and innovation in the foundations and applications of autonomous systems as well as schemes for proof of concepts, and commercialisation.â¢ Supporting policy and standardisation initiatives as well as engagement and community-building activities to increase public awareness and trust.â¢ Giving greater attention to integrating CAM/Connected Autonomous Shared Electric vehicles (CASE) policy with related government priorities for mobility, including supporting active transport and public transport, and improving air quality.â¢ Further investment in updating liability and risk models and coming up with innovative liability schemes covering the Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) ecosystem.â¢ Investing in training and retraining of the work force in the automotive, mobility, and transport sectors, particularly with skills concerning Artificial Intelligence (AI), software and computer systems, in order to ensure employability and an adequate response to the drastically changing industrial landscape

description: Stellar models rely on a number of free parameters. High-quality observations of eclipsing binary stars observed by Kepler offer a great opportunity to calibrate model parameters for evolved stars. Our study focuses on six Kepler red giants with the goal of calibrating the mixing-length parameter of convection as well as the asteroseismic surface term in models. We introduce a new method to improve the identification of oscillation modes which exploits theoretical frequencies to guide the mode identification ('peak-bagging') stage of the data analysis. Our results indicate that the convective mixing-length parameter (alpha) is about 14% larger for red giants than for the Sun, in agreement with recent results from modelling the APOGEE stars. We found that the asteroseismic surface term (i.e. the frequency offset between the observed and predicted modes) correlates with stellar parameters (Teff, log g) and the mixing-length parameter. This frequency offset generally decreases as giants evolve. The two coefficients a_-1 and a_3 for the inverse and cubic terms that have been used to describe the surface term correction are found to correlate linearly. The effect of the surface term is also seen in the p-g mixed modes, however, established methods for correcting the effect are not able to properly correct the g-dominated modes in late evolved stars.

description: The United States Treasury has been giving Japan bad advice for several years. Repeatedly, the message has been to reduce tax rates permanently and maintain the exchange rate for the yen in its recent range, about 125 to 135 yen per dollar. A permanent tax cut was supposed to do what previous fiscal efforts had failed to do -- generate sustained expansion of the Japanese economy. No one should doubt that Japanese expansion is desirable for Japan, its neighbors, and the rest of the world. The Treasury is right about that. The Japanese government has watched the economy stagnate much too long. A policy change is long overdue

description: The motion of doped electrons or holes in an antiferromagnetic lattice with strong on-site Coulomb interactions touches one of the most fundamental open problems in contemporary condensed matter physics. The doped charge may strongly couple to elementary spin excitations resulting in a dressed quasiparticle which is subject to confinement. This 'spin-polaron' possesses internal degrees of freedom with a characteristic 'ladder' excitation spectrum. Despite its fundamental importance for understanding high-temperature superconductivity, clear experimental spectroscopic signatures of these internal degrees of freedom are scarce. Here we present scanning tunneling spectroscopy results of the spin-orbit-induced Mott insulator Sr$_2$IrO$_{4}$. Our spectroscopy data reveal distinct shoulder-like features for occupied and unoccupied states beyond a measured Mott gap of $Δ\approx620$~meV. Using the self-consistent Born approximation we assign the anomalies in the unoccupied states to the spin-polaronic ladder spectrum with excellent quantitative agreement and estimate the Coulomb repulsion $U$ = 2.05 ...2.28 eV in this material. These results confirm the strongly correlated electronic structure of this compound and underpin the previously conjectured paradigm of emergent unconventional superconductivity in doped Sr$_2$IrO$_{4}$.

description: The control of impurity accumulation is one of the main challenges for future stellarator fusion reactors. The standard argument to explain this accumulation relies on the, in principle, large inward pinch in the neoclassical impurity flux caused by the typically negative radial electric field in stellarators. This simplified interpretation was proven to be flawed by Helander et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 155002 (2017)], who showed that in a relevant regime (low-collisionality main ions and collisional impurities) the radial electric field does not drive impurity transport. In that reference, the effect of the component of the electric field that is tangent to the magnetic surface was not included. In this Letter, an analytical calculation of the neoclassical radial impurity flux incorporating such effect is given, showing that it can be very strong for highly charged impurities and that, once it is taken into account, the dependence of the impurity flux on the radial electric field reappears. Realistic examples are provided in which the inclusion of the tangential electric field leads to impurity expulsion.

Power-law dependencies have been found between correlation measures and party size, and different scaling behaviour has been found for large and small parties.

A Plan for Subduing Inflation

subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: The difficulties of settling on a national policy for coping with inflation are compounded by a prolonged Battle of the Books among economists. Those who think of themselves as fiscalists (or Keynesians or New Economists) often underestimate the importance of changes in the rate of money-supply growth. And those who think of themselves as monetarists often overestimate the possibilities of using changes in the rate of moneysupply growth as an instrument for controlling inflation. Actually, monetary tightness pushes interest rates and unemployment up before it has any discernible effect on inflation. In this dialogue, economist Allan H. Meltzer presents a specific plan for using a combination of monetary and fiscal restraint to subdue inflation. Meltzer is Maurice Falk Professor of Economics and Social Science at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. While unmistakably a monetarist, he recognizes that the federal budget (fiscal policy) heavily influences the decisions of the Fed (monetary policy). The dialogue is a shortened version of a conversation between Professor Meltzer and two members of the FORTUNE editorial staff. Meltzer's words are printed in black, and those of the FORTUNE staffers in blue

description: This thesis examines the role of a National Oil Company (NOC) in promoting local content within Malaysia’s oil and gas industry. Much scholarly attention focused on local content policies and firm upgrading in supply chains of private International Oil Companies (IOCs), despite few success stories from late industrialisers. However, a state-owned NOC as a local content tool is dismissed by prevailing neoclassical, new institutional, and resource curse frameworks. This study explores the mechanisms of state capitalism in Malaysia’s petroleum sector from a political economy perspective, focusing on the interaction between ideas and power configurations. Specifically, it analyses inter-firm relations between Malaysia’s NOC Petronas and the largest, politically connected, and globally competitive suppliers. Challenging new institutional theories, Petronas emerged as an effective NOC against all the odds. This thesis finds that Petronas’s high performance resulted from the state’s imperative for a cash cow. Given the ruling coalition’s dependence on Petronas’s rents to manage an internal conflict, Petronas faced a hard budget constraint while being disciplined by its partnerships with IOCs. Defying the enclave thesis, Petronas has successfully created a domestic supplier market. In contrast to the conventional wisdom that stresses the importance of a single mission, it was precisely the coexistence of Petronas’s conflicting commercial and developmental missions that resulted in a successful outcome. Concentrating missions into one NOC was a crucial organisational precondition of their successful management that resulted in credible commitments and disciplining of suppliers. As a main contribution, this thesis finds that petronage or Petronas allocating rents to insider firms has led to productivity-enhancing outcomes. Petronas has nurtured insiders, which were selected as ‘winners’ ex-post their initial formation. A different reciprocal control mechanism than highlighted by the developmental state literature counterbalanced this selection problem. Petronas’s institutionalised role as a powerful, domestic monopoly prevented rent capture among insider firms.

description: Действующая Стратегия национальной безопасности Российской Федерации, принятая в 2015 году, в ближайшее время должна подвергнуться серьезному обновлению. Формальной посылкой к этому можно считать положение статьи ФЗ № 172 о стратегическом планировании, согласно которой Стратегия национальной безопасности должна корректироваться не реже, чем раз в шесть лет. Уже сейчас потребность основательно пересмотреть содержание данного документа диктуется не только формальными требованиями законодательного характера и пробелами, которые выявили в нем аналитика национальной безопасности и практика государственного управления. Насущная необходимость пересмотра Стратегии диктуется формированием в настоящее время качественно новых представлений об угрозах национальной и в том числе экономической безопасности страны и даже формированием такого феномена современного мира, как «экономика высоких рисков». Объективность таких представлений, во всяком случае, для экономики Российской Федерации, стала очевидной в начале 2020 года, когда на страну спроецировался негативный эффект двух, во многом взаимосвязанных, факторов: пандемия COVID-19 и обвал цен на нефтегазовые ресурсы. Масштабы воздействия на тренды социально-экономического развития страны показали, что наши представления о рисках и угрозах национальной безопасности как минимум неполны, а системы их прогнозирования, а также компенсации их последствий нуждаются в серьезном совершенствовании.

description: Short-range forces have important real-world relevance across a range of settings in the nano world, from colloids and possibly for protein folding to nano-mechanical devices, but also for detection of weak long-range forces, such as gravity, at short distances and of candidates to solve the problem of dark energy. Short-range forces, such as Casimir-Polder or van der Waals are in general difficult to calculate as a consequence of their non-additive nature, and challenging to measure due to their small magnitude - especially for charged particles where dispersion forces are normally many orders of magnitude smaller than electrostatic image forces. Therefore short-range forces have represented a continuing theoretical and experimental challenge over the last half-century. Here we report on experiments with a single glass nanoparticle levitated in close proximity to a neutral silicon surface in vacuum, which allow for direct measurement of short-range forces in a new distance and sensitivity regime - outperforming existing force microscopies.

description: This paper considers estimation of a univariate density from an individual numerical sequence. It is assumed that (i) the limiting relative frequencies of the numerical sequence are governed by an unknown density, and (ii) there is a known upper bound for the variation of the density on an increasing sequence of intervals. A simple estimation scheme is proposed, and is shown to be $L_1$ consistent when (i) and (ii) apply. In addition it is shown that there is no consistent estimation scheme for the set of individual sequences satisfying only condition (i).
Mass spectrum of $2$-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ super Yang-Mills theory on the lattice

description: In the present work we analyse $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory in two dimensions by means of lattice simulations. The theory arises as dimensional reduction of $\mathcal{N}=1$ SYM theory in four dimensions. As in other gauge theories with extended supersymmetry, the classical scalar potential has flat directions which may destabilize numerical simulations. In addition, the fermion determinant need not be positive and this sign-problem may cause further problems in a stochastic treatment. We demonstrate that $\mathcal{N}=(2,2)$ super Yang-Mills theory has actually no sign problem and that the flat directions are lifted and thus stabilized by quantum corrections. Only the bare mass of the scalars experience a finite additive renormalization in this finite theory. On various lattices with different lattice constants we determine the scalar masses and hopping parameters for which the supersymmetry violating terms are minimal. By studying four Ward identities and by monitoring the $π$-mass we show that supersymmetry is indeed restored in the continuum limit. In the second part we calculate the masses of the low-lying bound states. We find that in the infinite-volume and supersymmetric continuum limit the Veneziano-Yankielowicz super-multiplet becomes massless and the Farrar-Gabadadze-Schwetz super-multiplet decouples from the theory. In addition, we estimate the masses of the excited mesons in the Veneziano-Yankielowicz multiplet. We observe that the gluino-glueballs have comparable masses to the excited mesons.

description: Satisfiability algorithms for propositional logic have improved enormously in recent years. This increases the attractiveness of satisfiability methods for first order logic that reduce the problem to a series of ground-level satisfiability problems. Partial Instantiation for first order satisfiability differs radically from standard resolution based methods. Two approaches to partial instantiation based first order theorem provers have been studied by R. Jeroslow and by Plaisted and Zhu. Hooker and Rago have described improvements of Jeroslow's approach by a) extending it to logic with functions b) accelerating it through use of satisfiers as introduced by Gallo and Rago, and c) simplifying it to obtain further speedup. The correctness of the Partial Instantiation algorithms described here for full first-order logic with functions as well as termination on unsatisfiable formulas are shown in [9] This paper describes the implementation of a theorem prover based on the primal algorithm and applied it to solving planning problems as also developed techniques for answer generation when using partial instantiation. We obtained improved efficiency by incorporating incrementality into the primal algorithm (incremental blockage testing). This extended abstract describes the Partial Primal Instantiation algorithm its implementation and preliminary results on first order formulation of planning problems.

description: В статье рассмотрен опыт управления рисками в деятельности органов Федерального казначейства в условиях влияния определенных внешних факторов на примере двух территориальных органов ведомства (Управление Федерального казначейства по Свердловской области, Управление Федерального казначейства по Республике Хакасия) с целью изучения адаптивности данных структур к внешним вызовам. В основу исследования положена гипотеза об устойчивости системы управления рисками, вне зависимости от особенностей последних, характерных для деятельности организаций, а также влияния взаимосвязи внешних и внутренних рисков с позиции импульсного воздействия внешних на внутренние в ситуации повышения угрозы коронавирусной инфекции (COVID-2019). В целях исследования проведен анализ данных, свидетельствующих о результатах комплексного управления рисками в конкретной ситуации. В контексте риск-менеджмента подчеркнута значимость превентивных мер, направленных на недопущение фактов фактического влияния внешних рисковых событий на вероятность реализации внутренних рисков в деятельности рассматриваемых организаций.
