description: The automation of map labeling is an ongoing research challenge. Currently, the map labeling algorithms are based on rules defined by experts for optimizing the placement of the text labels on maps. In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of using well-labeled map samples as a source of knowledge for automating the labeling process. The basic idea is to train deep learning models, specifically the generative models CycleGAN and Pix2Pix, on a large number of map examples. Then, the trained models are used to predict good locations of the labels given unlabeled raster maps. We compare the results obtained by the deep learning models to manual map labeling and a state-of-the-art optimization-based labeling method. A quantitative evaluation is performed in terms of legibility, association and map readability as well as a visual evaluation performed by three professional cartographers. The evaluation indicates that the deep learning models are capable of finding appropriate positions for the labels, but that they, in this implementation, are not well suited for selecting the labels to show and to determine the size of the labels. The result provides valuable insights into the current capabilities of generative models for such task, while also identifying the key challenges that will shape future research directions.

subject: Injury prevention

description: Background: Cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (MMECs) is one of the key
factors in the process of diabetic cardiomyopathy, a common chronic complication
of diabetes. Fibrinogen‐like protein 2 (FGL2) is linked to apoptosis, angiogenesis,
and inflammatory response, all of which also occur in diabetes. Thus, we investigate
the role of FGL 2 and other genes in the pathology of diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Methods: In the present study, we used high‐throughput microarray to profile gene
expression in rat myocardial MMECs with or without silencing the fgl2 gene and in
different glucose environments. We use volcanic maps to isolate genes with significantly
different expression levels between conditions, using the standard statistical
criteria of fold changes ≥1.5 and P‐values ≤0.05. From this list, we identified genes
with the most signicant changes in RNA levels and confirmed their protein‐level
changes with Western blot. Furthermore, bioinformatic analysis predicts possible
pathophysiology and clinical relevance of these proteins in diabetic cardiomyopathy.
Results: We identified 17 upregulated and 15 downregulated genes caused by
silencing fgl2 gene. Most of them are involved in metabolism, ion transport, cell membrane
surface recognition signal modification, inflammatory response, and immune
response. Using Western blot, we were able to confirm protein‐level expression
changes of three genes. Specifically, in both normal and high glucose conditions,
silencing fgl2 significantly decreased the expression levels of CCL3 and PLAGL1 while
increasing the expression level of CTSC. Significantly, bioinformatic analyses show
that CCL3 is related to type 1 diabetes, PLAGL1 to cardiomyocytes, and CTSC to
albuminuria in type 2 diabetes.
Conclusions: Our study provides clues for further studies on the mechanism of diabetic
cardiomyopathy as well as function of FGL2 in this process, potentially offering
new therapeutic strategies for treating diabetic cardiomyopathy.

description: Climate change and urbanization challenge utilities’ pursuit of water security worldwide. While water utilities are directly impacted by climate change, their operations also contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Digital technologies have proven effective in improving utilities’ operations, leading to a more sustainable urban water cycle. However, the global progress of digital water transformation remains largely understudied. Here, we present the results of an online survey involving 64 utilities from 28 countries investigating the impacts of digital transformation on the water utility sector, its drivers, and key-enabling technologies. We found that the water distribution system is the entry point to further adoption of digital technologies in the whole urban water cycle. Furthermore, technology adoption is driven primarily by economic benefits, followed by government regulation and hydroclimatic factors. Starting from the survey results, we point out avenues for further research targeting a better understanding of the influence of regulation, corporate mindset, and consumer involvement for successful digital transformation.

description: Background: Prehabilitation aims at enhancing patients’ functional capacity and overall health status to enable them to withstand a forthcoming stressor like surgery. Our aim was to synthesise the evidence on the cost-effectiveness of prehabilitation for patients awaiting elective surgery compared with usual preoperative care. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, the CRD database, ClinicalTrials.gov, the WHO ICTRP and the dissertation databases OADT and DART. Studies comparing prehabilitation for patients with elective surgery to usual preoperative care were included if they reported cost outcomes. All types of economic evaluations (EEs) were included. The primary outcome of the review was cost-effectiveness based on cost–utility analyses (CUAs). The risk of bias of trial-based EEs was assessed with the Cochrane risk of bias 2 tool and the ROBINS-I tool and the credibility of model-based EEs with the ISPOR checklist. Methodological quality of full EEs was assessed using the CHEC checklist. The EEs’ results were synthesised narratively using vote counting based on direction of effect. Results: We included 45 unique studies: 25 completed EEs and 20 ongoing studies. Of the completed EEs, 22 were trial-based and three model-based, corresponding to four CUAs, three cost-effectiveness analyses, two cost–benefit analyses, 12 cost–consequence analyses and four cost-minimization analyses. Three of the four trial-based CUAs (75%) found prehabilitation cost-effective, i.e. more effective and/or less costly than usual care. Overall, 16/25 (64.0%) EEs found prehabilitation cost-effective. When excluding studies of insufficient credibility/critical risk of bias, this number reduced to 14/23 (60.9%). In 8/25 (32.0%), cost-effectiveness was unclear, e.g. because prehabilitation was more effective and more costly, and in one EE prehabilitation was not cost-effective. Conclusions: We found some evidence that prehabilitation for patients awaiting elective surgery is cost-effective compared to usual preoperative care. However, we suspect a relevant risk of publication bias, and most EEs were of high risk of bias and/or low methodological quality. Furthermore, there was relevant heterogeneity depending on the population, intervention and methods. Future EEs should be performed over a longer time horizon and apply a more comprehensive perspective. Trial registration: PROSPERO CRD42020182813.

Testing Bell's inequality using Aharonov-Casher effect

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose the Aharonov-Casher (AC) effect for four entangled spin-half particles carrying magnetic moments in the presence of impenetrable line charge. The four particle state undergoes AC phase shift in two causually disconnected region which can show up in the correlations between different spin states of distant particles. This correlation can violate Bell's inequality, thus displaying the non-locality for four particle entangled states in an objective way. Also, we have suggested how to control the AC phase shift locally at two distant locations to test Bell's inequality. We belive that although the single particle AC effect may not be non-local but the entangled state AC effect is a non-local one.

description: Labile copper(II) ions (Cu2+) in serum are considered to be readily available for cellular uptake and to constitute the biologically active Cu2+ species in the blood. It might also be suitable to reflect copper dyshomeostasis during diseases such as Wilson’s disease (WD) or neurological disorders. So far, no direct quantification method has been described to determine this small Cu2+ subset. This study introduces a fluorometric high throughput assay using the novel Cu2+ binding fluoresceine-peptide sensor FP4 (Kd of the Cu2+-FP4-complex 0.38 pM) to determine labile Cu2+ in human and rat serum. Using 96 human serum samples, labile Cu2+was measured to be 0.14 ± 0.05 pM, showing no correlation with age or other serum trace elements. No sex-specific differences in labile Cu2+ concentrations were noted, in contrast to the total copper levels in serum. Analysis of the effect of drug therapy on labile Cu2+ in the sera of 19 patients with WD showed a significant decrease in labile Cu2+ following copper chelation therapy, suggesting that labile Cu2+ may be a specific marker of disease status and that the assay could be suitable for monitoring treatment progress.

description: Many-body localization (MBL) addresses the absence of thermalization in interacting quantum systems, with non-ergodic high-energy eigenstates behaving as ground states, only area-law entangled. However, computing highly excited many-body eigenstates using exact methods is very challenging. Instead, we show that one can address high-energy MBL physics using ground-state methods, which are much more amenable to many efficient algorithms. We find that a localized many-body ground state of a given interacting disordered Hamiltonian $\mathcal{H}_0$ is a very good approximation for a high-energy eigenstate of a parent Hamiltonian, close to $\mathcal{H}_0$ but more disordered. This construction relies on computing the covariance matrix, easily achieved using density-matrix renormalization group for disordered Heisenberg chains up to $L=256$ sites.

Radiatively Induced Neutrino Masses and Oscillations in an SU(3)_LxU(1)_N Gauge Model

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We have constructed an $SU(3)_L \times U(1)_N$ gauge model utilizing an $U(1)_{L^\prime}$ symmetry, where $L^\prime$ = $L_e-L_μ-L_τ$, which accommodates tiny neutrino masses generated by $L^\prime$-conserving one-loop and $L^\prime$-breaking two-loop radiative mechanisms. The generic smallness of two-loop radiative effects compared with one-loop radiative effects describes the observed hierarchy of $Δm_{atm}^2$ $\gg$ $Δm_\odot^2$. A key ingredient for radiative mechanisms is a charged scalar ($h^+$) that couples to charged lepton-neutrino pairs and $h^+$ together with the standard Higgs scalar ($ϕ$) can be unified into a Higgs triplet as ($ϕ^0$, $ϕ^-$, $h^+$)$^T$. This assignment in turn requires lepton triplets ($ψ_L^i$) with heavy charged leptons ($κ_L^{+i}$) as the third member: $ψ_L^i=(ν^i_L,\ell^i_L,κ^{+i}_L)^T$, where $i$ ($=1,2,3$) denotes three families. It is found that our model is relevant to yield quasi-vacuum oscillations for solar neutrinos.

We provide a classification, up to equivalence, of all of the bilinear maps $f:{\mathbb V} \times {\mathbb V} \to {\mathbb V}$ such that $dim(rad(f)) =n-2$. This is equivalent to give a complete classification (up to isomorphism) of all $n$-dimensional algebras with annihilator of dimension $n-2$ or, in other words, a classification of the annihilator extensions of all $2$-dimensional algebras.
The growth of stellar mass black hole binaries trapped in an accretion disk of active galactic nuclei

description: Among the four black hole binary merger events detected by LIGO, six progenitor black holes have masses greater than 20\,$M_\odot$. The existence of such massive BHs calls for extreme metal-poor stars as the progenitors. An alternative possibility that a pair of stellar mass black holes each with mass $\sim7\,M_\odot$ increases to $>20\,M_\odot$ via accretion from a disk surrounding a super massive black hole in an active galactic nucleus is considered. The growth of mass of the binary and the transfer of orbital angular momentum to the disk accelerates the merger. Based on the recent numerical work of Tang et al. (2017), it is found that, in the disk of a low mass AGN with mass $\sim10^6\,M_\odot$ and Eddington ratio $>0.01$, the mass of an individual BH in the binary can grow to $>20\,M_\odot$ before coalescence provided that accretion takes place at a rate more than 10 times the Eddington value. The mechanism predicts a new class of gravitational wave sources involving the merger of two extreme Kerr black holes associated with active galactic nuclei and a possible electromagnetic wave counterpart.

description: We have discussed the quark-lepton mass matrices with the U(1) flavor symmetry in SU(5), which lead to the large mixing angle MSW solution of solar neutrinos. The solar neutrino solution depends on the next-leading terms in the neutrino mass matrix. We have found the lepton mass matrices with the $U(1)\times Z_2$ symmetry, which give the LMA-MSW solution uniquely. The coefficients of the matrix elements of the charged leptons are constrained strongly due to the bound of $U_{e3}$ in the CHOOZ experiment.

description: Most recently, theoretical calculations predicted the stability of a novel two-dimensional phosphorus honeycomb lattice named blue phosphorus. Here, we report on the growth of blue phosphorus on Au(111) and unravel its structural details using diffraction, microscopy and theoretical calculations. Most importantly, by utilizing angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy we identify its momentum-resolved electronic structure. We find that Au(111) breaks the sublattice symmetry of blue phosphorus leading to an orbital-dependent band renormalization upon the formation of a (4 × 4) superstructure. Notably, the semiconducting two-dimensional phosphorus realizes its valence band maximum at 0.9 eV binding energy, however, shifted in momentum space due to the substrate-induced band renormalization.

description: Controlling molecules in direct contact with surfaces is central to molecular electronics. Photochromic molecules immobilized and contacted by a surface promise to provide remote control on the molecular level using light. Combining X-ray absorption spectroscopy, differential reflectance spectroscopy, and density functional theory, we demonstrate highly efficient and bidirectional photochromism of a spirooxazine molecular switch in direct contact with a Au(111) surface. The ring-opening reaction by UV light is 2 orders of magnitude more efficient than previously reported for other surface-adsorbed systems, and even more importantly, the red-light-induced ring-closing is accessible even in contact with a metal surface. This opens new prospects for applications by utilizing the gold surface with directly adsorbed functional units consisting of molecular photochromic switches.

description: A search for the Higgs boson decaying to two oppositely charged muons is presented using data recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in 2016 at a center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. Data are found to be compatible with the predicted background. For a Higgs boson with a mass of 125.09 GeV, the 95% confidence level observed (background-only expected) upper limit on the production cross section times branching fraction to a pair of muons is found to be 3.0 (2.5) times the standard model expectation. In combination with data recorded at center-of-mass energies $\sqrt{s} =$ 7 and 8 TeV, the background-only expected upper limit improves to 2.2 times the standard model value with a standard model expected significance of 1.0 standard deviations. The corresponding observed upper limit is 2.9 with an observed significance of 0.9 standard deviations. This corresponds to an observed upper limit on the standard model Higgs boson branching fraction to muons of 6.4 $\times$ 10$^{-4}$ and to an observed signal strength of 1.0 $\pm$ 1.0 (stat) $\pm$ 0.1 (syst).

On Deuteron Spin Dependent Structure Function $ g_{2}(x)$ in Relativistic Model of Deuteron

description: The spin dependent deuteron structure functions are investigated in the relativistic model of deuteron. It is shown that the deuteron structure function $g_{2}(X)$ can be considered properly only in the infinite momentum frame where the virtual photon has pure transverse components ($q_{0}=-q_{3}\rightarrow 0$ at $ P\rightarrow \infty $), whereas in the conventional Breit frame the impulse approximation for $g_{2}(X)$ may be violated due to $q\bar{q}$ pair creation by the virtual photon. It is shown that due to relativistic effects the deuteron structure function $g_{2}(X)$ has a nontrivial contribution determined by first derivative of the nucleon structure function $g_{1}(x)$. Such contribution is small but it increases when $X \rightarrow 1$. It may achieve about 10 \% at $ X \sim 0.75$ and could be essentially larger for the transverse structure function $g_{\perp}(X).$

description: Does overall thermal equilibrium exist between ions and electrons in a weakly collisional, magnetised, turbulent plasma---and, if not, how is thermal energy partitioned between ions and electrons? This is a fundamental question in plasma physics, the answer to which is also crucial for predicting the properties of far-distant astronomical objects such as accretion discs around black holes. In the context of discs, this question was posed nearly two decades ago and has since generated a sizeable literature. Here we provide the answer for the case in which energy is injected into the plasma via Alfvénic turbulence: collisionless turbulent heating typically acts to disequilibrate the ion and electron temperatures. Numerical simulations using a hybrid fluid-gyrokinetic model indicate that the ion-electron heating-rate ratio is an increasing function of the thermal-to-magnetic energy ratio, $β_\mathrm{i}$: it ranges from $\sim0.05$ at $β_\mathrm{i}=0.1$ to at least $30$ for $β_\mathrm{i} \gtrsim 10$. This energy partition is approximately insensitive to the ion-to-electron temperature ratio $T_\mathrm{i}/T_\mathrm{e}$. Thus, in the absence of other equilibrating mechanisms, a collisionless plasma system heated via Alfvénic turbulence will tend towards a nonequilibrium state in which one of the species is significantly hotter than the other, viz., hotter ions at high $β_\mathrm{i}$, hotter electrons at low $β_\mathrm{i}$. Spectra of electromagnetic fields and the ion distribution function in 5D phase space exhibit an interesting new magnetically dominated regime at high $β_i$ and a tendency for the ion heating to be mediated by nonlinear phase mixing ("entropy cascade") when $β_\mathrm{i}\lesssim1$ and by linear phase mixing (Landau damping) when $β_\mathrm{i}\gg1$

description: PS-DVB-TiO2 modifying with amino (polyethyleneimine or polyaniline) were synthesized, and they were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and Brunauer Emmett Teller. The obtained polymers were used for purification of myricetin and quercetin from Epipremnum aureum rhizome by pipette-tip solid-phase extraction. The satisfactory extraction recoveries for the two targets (myricetin 86.39% and quercetin 83.67%) were obtained by changing different washing and eluted solvents. The result showed that the obtained modified PS-DVB exhibited high mechanical strength and special selectivity to the targets, and the proposed method was successfully applied for purifying complex samples with PT-SPE.

Quantum strategies

description: We consider game theory from the perspective of quantum algorithms. Strategies in classical game theory are either pure (deterministic) or mixed (probabilistic). We introduce these basic ideas in the context of a simple example, closely related to the traditional Matching Pennies game. While not every two-person zero-sum finite game has an equilibrium in the set of pure strategies, von Neumann showed that there is always an equilibrium at which each player follows a mixed strategy. A mixed strategy deviating from the equilibrium strategy cannot increase a player's expected payoff. We show, however, that in our example a player who implements a quantum strategy can increase his expected payoff, and explain the relation to efficient quantum algorithms. We prove that in general a quantum strategy is always at least as good as a classical one, and furthermore that when both players use quantum strategies there need not be any equilibrium, but if both are allowed mixed quantum strategies there must be.

description: Quantitative assessment of a treatment progress in the Achilles tendon healing process - one of the most common musculoskeletal disorder in modern medical practice - is typically a long and complex process: multiple MRI protocols need to be acquired and analysed by radiology experts. In this paper, we propose to significantly reduce the complexity of this assessment using a novel method based on a pre-trained convolutional neural network. We first train our neural network on over 500,000 2D axial cross-sections from over 3000 3D MRI studies to classify MRI images as belonging to a healthy or injured class, depending on the patient's condition. We then take the outputs of modified pre-trained network and apply linear regression on the PCA-reduced space of the features to assess treatment progress. Our method allows to reduce up to 5-fold the amount of data needed to be registered during the MRI scan without any information loss. Furthermore, we are able to predict the healing process phase with equal accuracy to human experts in 3 out of 6 main criteria. Finally, contrary to the current approaches to regeneration assessment that rely on radiologist subjective opinion, our method allows to objectively compare different treatments methods which can lead to improved diagnostics and patient's recovery.

description: Massive multiple-input--multiple-output (MIMO) systems can suffer from coherent intercell interference due to the phenomenon of pilot contamination. This paper investigates a two-layer decoding method that mitigates both coherent and non-coherent interference in multi-cell Massive MIMO. To this end, each base station (BS) first estimates the channels to intra-cell users using either minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) or element-wise MMSE (EW-MMSE) estimation based on uplink pilots. The estimates are used for local decoding on each BS followed by a second decoding layer where the BSs cooperate to mitigate inter-cell interference. An uplink achievable spectral efficiency (SE) expression is computed for arbitrary two-layer decoding schemes. A closed-form expression is then obtained for correlated Rayleigh fading, maximum-ratio combining, and the proposed large-scale fading decoding (LSFD) in the second layer. We also formulate a sum SE maximization problem with both the data power and LSFD vectors as optimization variables. Since this is an NP-hard problem, we develop a low-complexity algorithm based on the weighted MMSE approach to obtain a local optimum. The numerical results show that both data power control and LSFD improves the sum SE performance over single-layer decoding multi-cell Massive MIMO systems.
