Evidence for social role in a dolphin social network

subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Social animals have to take into consideration the behaviour of conspecifics when making decisions to go by their daily lives. These decisions affect their fitness and there is therefore an evolutionary pressure to try making the right choices. In many instances individuals will make their own choices and the behaviour of the group will be a democratic integration of all decisions. However, in some instances it can be advantageous to follow the choice of a few individuals in the group if they have more information regarding the situation that has arisen. Here I provide early evidence that decisions about shifts in activity states in a population of bottlenose dolphin follow such a decision making process. This unshared consensus is mediated by a non-vocal signal which can be communicated globally within the dolphin school. These signals are emitted by individuals that tend to have more information about the behaviour of potential competitors because of their position in the social network. I hypothesise that this decision making process emerged from the social structure of the population and the need to maintain mixed-sex schools.

description: We study a one-dimensional (1D) chain of $2N$ Majorana bound states, which interact through a local quartic interaction. This model describes for example the edge physics of a quasi 1D stack of $2N$ Kitaev chains with modified time-reversal symmetry $Tγ_iT^{-1}=γ_i$, which precludes the presence of quadratic coupling. The ground state of our 1D Majorana chain displays a four-fold periodicity in $N$, corresponding to the four distinct topological classes of the stacked Kitaev chains. We analyze the transport properties of the 1D Majorana chain, when probed by local conductors located at its ends. We find that for finite but large $N$, the scattering matrix partially reflects the four-fold periodicity, and the chain exhibits strikingly different transport properties for different chain lengths. In the thermodynamic limit, the 1D Majorana chain hosts a robust many-body zero mode, which indicates that the corresponding stacked two-dimensional bulk system realizes a weak topological phase.

Non--Abelian Duality, Parafermions and Supersymmetry

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Non--Abelian duality in relation to supersymmetry is examined. When the action of the isometry group on the complex structures is non--trivial, extended supersymmetry is realized non--locally after duality, using path ordered Wilson lines. Prototype examples considered in detail are, hyper--Kahler metrics with SO(3) isometry and supersymmetric WZW models. For the latter, the natural objects in the non--local realizations of supersymmetry arising after duality are the classical non--Abelian parafermions. The canonical equivalence of WZW models and their non--Abelian duals with respect to a vector subgroup is also established.

description: Corporate research and development (R&D) activities have long been highly concentrated in a handful of world cities. This is due to the fact that these cities (e.g., Tokyo, New York, London, and Paris) are home to the largest and most powerful transnational corporations and are globally important sites for innovative start-up firms that operate in the fastest growing industries. However, in tandem with the rapid technological changes of our age, corporate R&D activities have shifted towards newly emerging and now globally significant R&D centres, like San Jose, San Francisco, and Boston in the United States, and Beijing, Seoul, and Shenzhen in East Asia. In this paper, I will conduct a bibliometric analysis to define which cities are centres of corporate R&D activities, how different industries influence their performance, and what spatial tendencies characterise the period from 1980 to 2014. The bibliometric analysis is based upon an assumption that implies there is a close connection between the number of scientific articles published by a given firm and the volume of its R&D activity. Results show that firms headquartered in Tokyo, New York, London, and Paris published the largest combined number of scientific articles in the period from 1980 to 2014, but that the growth rate of the annual output of scientific articles was much greater in Boston, San Jose, Beijing, and Seoul, as well as some Taiwanese cities. Furthermore, it can also be seen that those cities that have the largest number of articles; i.e., that can be considered as the most significant sites of corporate R&D in which firms operate in fast-growing industries, are primarily in the pharmaceutical and information technology industries. For these reasons, some mid-sized cities that are home to globally significant pharmaceutical or information technology firms are also top corporate R&D hubs.

description: Two 2D Zn(II) coordination polymers, formulated as [Zn(μ2-tdc)(μ-pmid)] (1), {[Zn(μ2-tdc)(μ-pmmid)2·4H2O]}n (2) (H2tdc = 2,5-thiophenedicarboxylic acid, pmid = 1-(4-pyridylmethyl)imidazole; pmmid = 1-(4-pyridylmethyl)-2-methylimidazole) have been synthesized by reactions of Zn(OAc)2·2H2O and H2tdc with flexibleN-(4-pyridylmethyl)imidazole derivatives under the mild reaction conditions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and other physicochemical methods. Structure determination demonstrates compound 1 displays a 2-fold 2D → 2D parallel interpenetrating structure, while compound 2 shows a 2D non-interpenetrating network. These results reveal that the substitute group in such N-(4-pyridylmethyl)imidazole derivatives might be the main factor resulting in these interpenetrating/ non-interpenetrating structures.Furthermore, compounds 1 and 2 show different thermal stabilities and strong solid-state luminescence emissions.

description: The form factors of the rare $Λ_b\to n l^+l^-$ decays are calculated in the framework of the relativistic quark-diquark picture of baryons with the consistent account of the relativistic effects. Their momentum transfer squared dependence is determined explicitly in the whole accessible kinematical range. The decay branching fractions, forward-backward asymmetries and the fractions of longitudinally polarized dileptons are determined. The branching fraction of the rare $Λ_b\to nμ^+μ^-$ decay are found to be ${\rm Br}(Λ_b\to nμ^+μ^-)=(3.75\pm0.38)\times10^{-8}$ and thus could be measured at the LHC. Prediction for the branching fraction of the rare radiative $Λ_b\to n γ$ decay is also given.

Modelling the luminosity function of long Gamma Ray Bursts using SWIFT and FERMI
Creators: name: Paul, Debdutta
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I have used a sample of long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) common to both \emph{Swift} and \emph{Fermi} to re-derive the parameters of the Yonetoku correlation. This allowed me to self-consistently estimate pseudo redshifts of all the bursts with unknown redshifts. This is the first time such a large sample of GRBs from these two instruments are used, both individually and in conjunction, to model the long GRB luminosity function. The GRB formation rate is modelled as the product of the cosmic star formation rate and a GRB formation efficiency for a given stellar mass. An exponential cut-off powerlaw luminosity function fits the data reasonably well, with $ν= 0.6$ and $ L_b = 5.4 \times10^{52} \, \rm{erg.s^{-1}},$ and does not require a cosmological evolution. In the case of a broken powerlaw, it is required to incorporate a sharp evolution of the break given by $L_{b}\sim0.3\times10^{52}\left(1+z\right)^{2.90} \, \rm{erg.s^{-1}},$ and the GRB formation efficiency (degenerate up to a beaming factor of GRBs) decreases with redshift as $\propto\left(1+z\right)^{-0.80}.$ However it is not possible to distinguish between the two models. The derived models are then used as templates to predict the distribution of GRBs detectable by CZTI on board \emph{AstroSat}, as a function of redshift and luminosity. This demonstrates that via a quick localization and redshift measurement of even a few CZTI GRBs, \emph{AstroSat} will help in improving the statistics of GRBs both typical and peculiar.

description: First total synthesis of carpatamide-A 7a, cytotoxic arylamine derivative isolated from marine derived Streptomyces sp., was achieved in twelve steps with overall yield of 24% with seven longest linear steps. In the penultimate step, dienoic acid 13 and an amino-phenylpropionic acid methyl ester core 21 were coupled to synthesize methylated derivativative of carpatamide-A 22 followed by demethylation of the intermediate with BBr3 to accomplish carpatamide-A 7a. Both precursors 13 and 21 were synthesized from readily available starting materials i.e. isovaleraldehyde 8 and 2, 4-dihydroxy benzaldehyde 14.

description: The past, present and future of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy research is discussed, with emphasis on the Boomerang and Maxima balloon experiments. These data are combined with large scale structure (LSS) information and high redshift supernova (SN1) observations to explore the inflation-based cosmic structure formation paradigm. Here we primarily focus on a simplified inflation parameter set, {omega_b,omega_{cdm},Omega_{tot}, Omega_Q,w_Q, n_s,tau_C, sigma_8}. After marginalizing over the other cosmic and experimental variables, we find the current CMB+LSS+SN1 data gives Omega_{tot}=1.04\pm 0.05, consistent with (non-baroque) inflation theory. Restricting to Omega_{tot}=1, we find a nearly scale invariant spectrum, n_s =1.03 \pm 0.07. The CDM density, omega_{cdm}=0.17\pm 0.02, is in the expected range, but the baryon density, omega_b=0.030\pm 0.004, is slightly larger than the current nucleosynthesis estimate. Substantial dark energy is inferred, Omega_Q\approx 0.68\pm 0.05, and CMB+LSS Omega_Q values are compatible with the independent SN1 estimates. The dark energy equation of state, parameterized by a quintessence-field pressure-to-density ratio w_Q, is not well determined by CMB+LSS (w_Q

description: Os desastres ambientais causados por alagamentos geram prejuízos ambientais e socioeconômicos nas áreas urbanas. A configuração topográfica da região tem influência no escoamento ou no acúmulo de águas. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo foi gerar a carta de hipsometria do município de Maringá, Paraná e verificar se há influência da sua configuração topográfica na ocorrência de alagamentos. Para tanto, foram adquiridos, junto ao Corpo de Bombeiros de Maringá, os dados sobre as ocorrências de alagamentos na cidade. Com imagens de satélite disponíveis no site USGS e o programa computacional ArcGIS 10, foram gerados os mapas de ocupação do solo e de elevação do terreno de Maringá, sobre os quais foram sobrepostos os pontos de alagamentos. Foram escolhidas três áreas de estudos para as quais foram traçadas as sub-bacias hidrográficas. Na sub-bacia 1, observou-se que os pontos de alagamento encontraram-se na porção central da subbacia; na sub-bacia 2, os pontos mostraram-se concentrados na cabeceira da bacia; e na sub-bacia 3, os pontos localizaram-se na região central. Após análise da carta hipsométrica, verificou-se que os alagamentos em Maringá ocorrem independentemente da posição topográfica, contrariando a hipótese de trabalho de que os alagamentos ocorreriam nos pontos mais baixos da topografia.

description: If particles interact according to isotropic pair potentials that favor multiple length scales, in principle a large variety of different complex structures can be achieved by self-assembly. We present, motivate, and discuss a conjecture for the occurrence of non-trivial (i.e., non-triangular) orderings based on newly-introduced enthalpy-like pair potentials, the capability of which we demonstrate for the specific example of colloid-polymer mixtures. Upon examining the phase behavior of two-dimensional colloid-polymer mixtures, which can also be realized in experiments, we observe that non-trivial structures only occur in the vicinity of selected densities where triangular ordering is suppressed by the pair potential. Close to these densities, a large number of different phases self-assemble that correspond to tilings containing triangular, rhombic, square, hexagonal, and pentagonal tiles, and including some of the Archimedean tilings. We obtain the ground-state energies by minimizing the corresponding lattice sums with respect to particle positions in a unit cell as well as cell geometry and verify the occurrence of selected phases at finite temperatures by using Brownian Dynamics simulations. All reported phases should be accessible in experiments and, in addition, our work provides a manual on how to find the regions of non-trivial phases in parameter space for complex pair interactions in general.

Critical lessons from practices for improving the quality of communication between parents and schools

Publisher: name: Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Year: 2013

description: At the request of Better Performing, the collaboration programme of school boards and the municipality of Rotterdam, research institute ITS of the Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands conducted a study into the functioning of the parental involvement policies in primary and secondary schools in Rotterdam.In Rotterdam, a city with 600,000 inhabitants and some 180 nationalities, two-thirds of the youth grows up in immigrant families. In many homes of these second- and third-generation immigrants Dutch is not the language normally spoken among parents and children. One in three children grow up in a family with low educated parents. These youngsters rarely go to higher forms of education and many of them acquire only a basic qualification for the labour market. The socioethnic composition of the city’s population thus poses a particular challenge for policymakers and school staff.One of the objectives of the Better Performing programme is that every school in Rotterdam should demonstrate progress in parental support of their children’s learning process. Parents should exhibit more effective teaching supportive behaviour at home and more parents should be actively involved in the school career and job choices of their children. Basic ingredients of the Rotterdam approach are partnership and two-way communication, with an emphasis on intake interviews and discussion of the role of parents in choosing a school and school career.

Statistically enhanced self-attraction of random patterns

description: In this work we develop a theory of interaction of randomly patterned surfaces as a generic prototype model of protein-protein interactions. The theory predicts that pairs of randomly superimposed identical (homodimeric) random patterns have always twice as large magnitude of the energy fluctuations with respect to their mutual orientation, as compared with pairs of different (heterodimeric) random patterns. The amplitude of the energy fluctuations is proportional to the square of the average pattern density, to the square of the amplitude of the potential and its characteristic length, and scales linearly with the area of surfaces. The greater dispersion of interaction energies in the ensemble of homodimers implies that strongly attractive complexes of random surfaces are much more likely to be homodimers, rather than heterodimers. Our findings suggest a plausible physical reason for the anomalously high fraction of homodimers observed in real protein interaction networks.

description: We analyze the microscopic few-body properties of dipolar particles confined in two parallel quasi-one-dimensional harmonic traps. In particular, we show that an adiabatic rotation of the dipole orientation about the trap axes can drive an initially non-localized few-fermion state into a localized state with strong inter-trap pairing. For an instant, non-adiabatic rotation, however, localization is inhibited and a highly excited state is reached. This state may be interpreted as the few-body analog of a super-Tonks-Girardeau state, known from one-dimensional systems with contact interactions.

description: The radiant environment in open spaces is very sensitive to the surrounding built form, which determines their openness to the sky and exposure to the sun. This paper presents the analysis of 132 urban forms in London and Paris, two cities at similar geographical latitude, but of different urban geometry, focusing on the relationship between urban geometry and insolation of open spaces at neighbourhood scale. The method consists of three stages: (1) the geometric analysis of the urban forms, (2) their solar access analysis and (3) the statistical exploration of the results. Special emphasis is on the sky view factor (SVF), which is employed as an integrated geometry variable and environmental performance indicator. The comparative analysis of the two cities underlines the significance of urban layout for modifying the outdoor radiant environment, and reveals temporal characteristics of the relation between urban geometry and insolation of urban forms, induced by the varying solar geometry. Indicatively, the average mean ground SVF (mSVF) was found to be primarily affected by the quantitative characteristics of the open space, and able to predict average daytime insolation on March 21 and June 21 (R2 > 0.8), in both cities.

description: For the RAEGE network to operate autonomously the ERDF project YNART (Infrastructures for updating the radio telescopes at Yebes Observatory) have provided ascalable and flexible software VLBI correlator based on a High Performance Cluster. The base design is intendedfor the correlation of VGOS data from four stations with a weekly observation cadence, but the design allowsfor the easy addition of more compute nodes to handle larger sessions in terms of number of baselines. Thiscorrelator is now completed and ready to operate. Although its main focus is the RAEGE network, some of theavailable time can be offered to the geodetic VLBI community. Here we present the correlator, its architectureand the hardware that has been used together with the tests carried out to check its correct functioning (real VLBIsessions) and benchmarking analysis. We have tested different working scenarios as a function of the number ofthreads and we have explored the execution time when increasing the number of stations from 4 to 10.

description: We present VLT FORS1 spectroscopy that temporally resolves the second caustic crossing of the Bulge K giant source of microlensing event EROS 2000-BLG-5, the first time this has been accomplished for several phases of a caustic transit. The ~1 angstrom H-alpha equivalent width of the source star increases slightly as the center of the star egresses the caustic and then plummets by 30% during the final limb crossing. These changes are not seen in contemporaneous spectra of control stars in the FORS1 slit, but are qualitatively consistent with expectations from stellar atmosphere models as the caustic differentially magnifies different portions of the stellar face of the target. Observations such as these in a variety of stellar lines are equivalent to atmospheric tomography and are expected to provide a direct test of stellar models.

description: Strongly self-dual Yang-Mills fields in even dimensional spaces are characterised by a set of constraints on the eigenvalues of the Yang-Mills fields $F_{μν}$. We derive a topological bound on ${\bf R}^8$, $\int_{M} ( F,F )^2 \geq k \int_{M} p_1^2$ where $p_1$ is the first Pontrjagin class of the SO(n) Yang-Mills bundle and $k$ is a constant. Strongly self-dual Yang-Mills fields realise the lower bound.

description: This paper proposes an automated method to detect, group and rectify arbitrarily-arranged coplanar repeated elements via energy minimization. The proposed energy functional combines several features that model how planes with coplanar repeats are projected into images and captures global interactions between different coplanar repeat groups and scene planes. An inference framework based on a recent variant of $α$-expansion is described and fast convergence is demonstrated. We compare the proposed method to two widely-used geometric multi-model fitting methods using a new dataset of annotated images containing multiple scene planes with coplanar repeats in varied arrangements. The evaluation shows a significant improvement in the accuracy of rectifications computed from coplanar repeats detected with the proposed method versus those detected with the baseline methods.

description: Many cell types exhibit oscillatory activity, such as repetitive action potential firing due to the Hodgkin-Huxley dynamics of ion channels in the cell membrane or reveal intracellular inositol triphosphate (IP$_3$) mediated calcium oscillations (CaOs) by calcium-induced calcium release channels (IP$_3$-receptor) in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The dynamics of the excitable membrane and that of the IP$_3$-mediated CaOs have been the subject of many studies. However, the interaction between the excitable cell membrane and IP$_3$-mediated CaOs, which are coupled by cytosolic calcium which affects the dynamics of both, has not been studied. This study for the first time applied stability analysis to investigate the dynamic behavior of a model, which includes both an excitable membrane and an intracellular IP$_3$-mediated calcium oscillator. Taking the IP$_3$ concentration as a control parameter, the model exhibits a novel rich spectrum of stable and unstable states with hysteresis. The four stable states of the model correspond in detail to previously reported growth-state dependent states of the membrane potential of normal rat kidney fibroblasts in cell culture. The hysteresis is most pronounced for experimentally observed parameter values of the model, suggesting a functional importance of hysteresis. This study shows that the four growth-dependent cell states may not reflect the behavior of cells that have differentiated into different cell types with different properties, but simply reflect four different states of a single cell type, that is characterized by a single model.

description: This paper highlights a work under development on a regional competitiveness project. We report on a multi-lateral, multi-scale perspective for building cooperative relationships that enhance competitiveness Regionally. The approach mimics a System of Systems methodology whereby entity relationships are captured and defined along several dimensions involving multiple constituents and multiple domain concerns. We build a serious game that is a distributed business simulator to approach the prototyping of this crossroads between supply chain management, geographical economics and information systems.

description: Understanding how young stars and their circumstellar disks form and evolve is key to explain how planets form. The evolution of the star and the disk is regulated by different processes, both internal to the system or related to their environment. The former include accretion of material onto the central star, wind emission, and photoevaporation of the disk due to high-energy radiation from the central star. These are best studied spectroscopically, and the distance to the star is a key parameter in all these studies. Here we present new estimates of the distance to a complex of nearby star-forming clouds obtained combining TGAS distances with measurement of extinction on the line of sight. Furthermore, we show how we plan to study the effects of the environment on the evolution of disks with Gaia, using a kinematic modelling code we have developed to model young star-forming regions.

description: Lipid management is one of the cornerstones of cardiovascular risk reduction. Treatment of HIV infection with protease inhibitors (PIs) may cause dyslipidaemia, whilst the integrase inhibitor raltegravir (RAL) has a relatively favorable effect on plasma lipids. We examined the effect of switching from PIs to RAL on endothelial function, and its effect on immunological and inflammatory parameters. We performed a 16-week open-label prospective crossover study: 8 weeks intervention (switch PIs to RAL) and 8 weeks control (unchanged cART regimen). Flow-mediated dilatation (FMD), inflammatory plasma, and cellular markers of immune activation were measured at weeks 0, 8, and 16. Study participants (n = 22) with a median age of 50 years (IQR 42–60) and known HIV infection of 6.5 years (IQR 5.0–17.3) were on stable cART with undetectable HIV viral loads. After 8 weeks of RAL therapy, a reduction in FMD of −0.81% was seen, compared to +0.54% control (pairwise, p = 0.051), while fasting total cholesterol (−17% versus +10%; p p = 0.026), and triglycerides (−41% versus +18%; p = 0.001) significantly decreased during RAL therapy compared to the control. Furthermore, a relation between the change in percentage of B-1 cells and the change in FMD was found (β 0.40, 95%CI 0.16; 0.64, p = 0.005) during treatment with RAL. Finally, during RAL therapy, 27% of the patients experienced an increased ALT rise. We present an overall negative study, where switching from PIs to RAL slightly reduced the endothelial function while decreasing plasma lipids, thus possibly decreasing the CVD risk in the long term. A transient elevation of ALT was seen upon switch to RAL.
Emotion-Recognition Using Smart Watch Accelerometer Data: Preliminary Findings

description: This study investigates the use of accelerometer data from a smart watch to infer an individual's emotional state. We present our preliminary findings on a user study with 50 participants. Participants were primed either with audio-visual (movie clips) or audio (classical music) to elicit emotional responses. Participants then walked while wearing a smart watch on one wrist and a heart rate strap on their chest. Our hypothesis is that the accelerometer signal will exhibit different patterns for participants in response to different emotion priming. We divided the accelerometer data using sliding windows, extracted features from each window, and used the features to train supervised machine learning algorithms to infer an individual's emotion from their walking pattern. Our discussion includes a description of the methodology, data collected, and early results.

description: We propose radar image classification via pseudo-Zernike moments based sparse representations. We exploit invariance properties of pseudo-Zernike moments to augment redundancy in the sparsity representative dictionary by introducing auxiliary atoms. We employ complex radar signatures. We prove the validity of our proposed methods on the publicly available MSTAR dataset.

description: We describe the implications of cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations and galaxy and cluster surveys of large scale structure (LSS) for theories of cosmic structure formation, especially emphasizing the recent Boomerang and Maxima CMB balloon experiments. The inflation-based cosmic structure formation paradigm we have been operating with for two decades has never been in better shape. Here we primarily focus on a simplified inflation parameter set, {omega_b,omega_{cdm},Omega_{tot}, Omega_Λ,n_s,τ_C, σ_8}. Combining all of the current CMB+LSS data points to the remarkable conclusion that the local Hubble patch we can access has little mean curvature (Omega_{tot}=1.08\pm 0.06) and the initial fluctuations were nearly scale invariant (n_s=1.03\pm 0.08), both predictions of (non-baroque) inflation theory. The baryon density is found to be slightly larger than that preferred by independent Big Bang Nucleosynthesis estimates (omega_b=0.030\pm 0.005 cf. 0.019\pm 0.002). The CDM density is in the expected range (omega_{cdm}=0.17 \pm 0.02). Even stranger is the CMB+LSS evidence that the density of the universe is dominated by unclustered energy akin to the cosmological constant (Omega_Λ=0.66\pm 0.06), at the same level as that inferred from high redshift supernova observations. We also sketch the CMB+LSS implications for massive neutrinos.

description: We present a systematical study via scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) on the effect of the exposure of Lithium (Li) on graphene on silicon carbide (SiC). We have investigated Li deposition both on epitaxial monolayer graphene and on buffer layer surfaces on the Si-face of SiC. At room temperature, Li immediately intercalates at the interface between the SiC substrate and the buffer layer and transforms the buffer layer into a quasi-free-standing graphene. This conclusion is substantiated by LEED and STM evidence. We show that intercalation occurs through the SiC step sites or graphene defects. We obtain a good quantitative agreement between the number of Li atoms deposited and the number of available Si bonds at the surface of the SiC crystal. Through STM analysis, we are able to determine the interlayer distance induced by Li-intercalation at the interface between the SiC substrate and the buffer layer.
