description: We study the nature of the scalar D_0 meson from the viewpoint of chiral symmetry. With the linear representation of chiral symmetry, we construct the D pi scattering amplitude satisfying the chiral low-energy theorem, in which the D_0 meson appears as an s-wave resonance. We show that the properties of the D_0 meson can be successfully reproduced as the chiral partner of the D meson coupled with the D pi scattering states. At the same time, we find that the spectral function and the pole position of D_0 are not very sensitive to the reduction of the chiral condensate, indicating the importance of the dressing of the bare state by the D pi molecular component.

description: Numerous aspects of early hominin biology remain debated or simply unknown. However, recent developments in high-resolution imaging techniques have opened new avenues in the field of paleoanthropology. More specifically, X-ray synchrotron-based analytical imaging techniques have the potential to provide crucial details on the ontogeny, physiology, biomechanics, and biological identity of fossil specimens. Here we present preliminary results of our X-ray synchrotron-based investigation of the skull of the 3.67-million-year-old Australopithecus specimen StW 573 (‘Little Foot’) at the I12 beamline of the Diamond Light Source (United Kingdom). Besides showing fine details of the enamel (i.e., hypoplasias) and cementum (i.e., incremental lines), as well as of the cranial bone microarchitecture (e.g., diploic channels), our synchrotron-based investigation reveals for the first time the 3D spatial organization of the Haversian systems in the mandibular symphysis of an early hominin.

description: We use HST near-infrared imaging to explore the shapes of the surface brightness profiles of bulges of S0-Sbc galaxies at high resolution. Modeling extends to the outer bulge via bulge-disk decompositions of combined HST - ground based profiles. Compact, central unresolved components similar to those reported by others are found in ~84% of the sample. We also detect a moderate frequency (~34%) of nuclear components with exponential profiles which may be disks or bars. Adopting the Sérsic r^{1/n} functional form for the bulge, none of the bulges have an r^{1/4} behaviour; derived Sérsic shape-indices are = 1.7 \pm 0.7. For the same sample, fits to NIR ground-based profiles yield Sérsic indices up to n = 4-6. The high-$n$ of ground-based profiles are a result of nuclear point sources blending with the bulge extended light due to seeing. The low Sérsic indices are not expected from merger violent relaxation, and argue against significant merger growth for most bulges.

description: We report measurements of the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectra of arrays of submicron size periodic particle arrays of permalloy produced by electron-beam lithography. In contrast to plane ferromagnetic films, the spectra of the arrays show a number of additional resonance peaks, whose position depends strongly on the orientation of the external magnetic field and the interparticle interaction. Time-dependent micromagnetic simulation of the ac response show that these peaks are associated with coupled exchange and dipolar spin wave modes

description: Abstract: Known risk variants explain only a small proportion of breast cancer heritability, particularly in Asian women. To search for additional genetic susceptibility loci for breast cancer, here we perform a meta-analysis of data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) conducted in Asians (24,206 cases and 24,775 controls) and European descendants (122,977 cases and 105,974 controls). We identified 31 potential novel loci with the lead variant showing an association with breast cancer risk at P < 5 × 10−8. The associations for 10 of these loci were replicated in an independent sample of 16,787 cases and 16,680 controls of Asian women (P < 0.05). In addition, we replicated the associations for 78 of the 166 known risk variants at P < 0.05 in Asians. These findings improve our understanding of breast cancer genetics and etiology and extend previous findings from studies of European descendants to Asian women.

description: A study of perturbative QCD calculations combined with power corrections to model hadronisation effects is presented. The QCD predictions are fitted to differential distributions and mean values of event shape observables measured in e+e- annihilation at centre-of-mass energies from 14 to 189 GeV. We investigate the event shape observables thrust, heavy jet mass, C-parameter, total and wide jet broadening and differential 2-jet rate and observe a good description of the data by the QCD predictions. The strong coupling constant alpha_S(M_Z) and the free parameter of the power correction calculations alpha_0(2 GeV) are measured to be alpha_S(M_Z) = 0.1171 +/- 0.0032/0.0020 and alpha_0(2 GeV) = 0.513 +/- 0.066/0.045. The predicted universality of alpha_0 is confirmed within the uncertainties of the measurements.

description: On December 23, 2003, the first confirmed United States case of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, or BSE, was discovered in Washington State. Following this incident, weekly exports of United States beef fell from 13,819 metric tons of beef the week before the incident to 130 metric tons of beef to by the second week of January of 2004. Since 2004, annual United States beef exports have increased from 460 million pounds to 2.6 billion pounds in 2014. Cattle priced on formulas or on grids are discounted if older than 30 months. BSE related regulations limit the ability to export beef from cattle over 30 months old. Data on over thirty month price discounts began in January 2004. The discount is also related to maturity grading with A maturity being younger animals and B maturity capturing older animals. This analysis indicates that the discount has grown steadily larger since 2004. Yet, the discount has become smaller relative to fed cattle price as beef supplies have tightened. Changing trade regulations are shown to have had a statistically significant effect on the discount magnitude.

suprachiasmatic nucleus

description: Sleep is regulated by circadian and homeostatic processes. Whereas the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is viewed as the principal mediator of circadian control, the contributions of sub-ordinate local circadian clocks distributed across the brain are unknown. To test whether the SCN and local brain clocks interact to regulate sleep, we used intersectional genetics to create temporally chimeric CK1ε Tau mice, in which dopamine 1a receptor (Drd1a)-expressing cells, a powerful pacemaking sub-population of the SCN, had a cell-autonomous circadian period of 24 h whereas the rest of the SCN and the brain had intrinsic periods of 20 h. We compared these mice with non-chimeric 24 h wild-types (WT) and 20 h CK1ε Tau mutants. The periods of the SCN ex vivo and the in vivo circadian behavior of chimeric mice were 24 h, as with WT, whereas other tissues in the chimeras had ex vivo periods of 20 h, as did all tissues from Tau mice. Nevertheless, the chimeric SCN imposed its 24 h period on the circadian patterning of sleep. When compared to 24 h WT and 20 h Tau mice, however, the sleep/wake cycle of chimeric mice under free-running conditions was disrupted, with more fragmented sleep and an increased number of short NREMS and REMS episodes. Even though the chimeras could entrain to 20 h light:dark cycles, the onset of activity and wakefulness was delayed, suggesting that SCN Drd1a-Cre cells regulate the sleep/wake transition. Chimeric mice also displayed a blunted homeostatic response to 6 h sleep deprivation (SD) with an impaired ability to recover lost sleep. Furthermore, sleep-dependent memory was compromised in chimeras, which performed significantly worse than 24 h WT and 20 h Tau mice. These results demonstrate a central role for the circadian clocks of SCN Drd1a cells in circadian sleep regulation, but they also indicate a role for extra-SCN clocks. In circumstances where the SCN and sub-ordinate local clocks are temporally mis-aligned, the SCN can maintain overall circadian control, but sleep consolidation and recovery from SD are compromised. The importance of temporal alignment between SCN and extra-SCN clocks for maintaining vigilance state, restorative sleep and memory may have relevance to circadian misalignment in humans, with environmental (e.g., shift work) causes.

description: The paper summarizes the concept of business performance and the performance measurement. The concept of business performance has changed a lot over the past decades. The managers have understood that in order to achieve organizational goals, more emphasis should be placed outside the owners, on other market participants, on the stakeholders (eg: customers, clients, employees, suppliers and other partners, local communities, …). The ’90s are also called „The performance measurement revolution”, because a lot of new performance measurement methods, systems appeared. The performance measurements have the prominent role: to collect information about where we are going to achieve the goals, if needed for intervention.
Charging Interacting Rotating Black Holes in Heterotic String Theory

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a formulation of the stationary bosonic string sector of the whole toroidally compactified effective field theory of the heterotic string as a double Ernst system which, in the framework of General Relativity describes, in particular, a pair of interacting spinning black holes; however, in the framework of low--energy string theory the double Ernst system can be particularly interpreted as the rotating field configuration of two interacting sources of black hole type coupled to dilaton and Kalb--Ramond fields. We clarify the rotating character of the $B_{tϕ}$--component of the antisymmetric tensor field of Kalb--Ramond and discuss on its possible torsion nature. We also recall the fact that the double Ernst system possesses a discrete symmetry which is used to relate physically different string vacua. Therefore we apply the normalized Harrison transformation (a charging symmetry which acts on the target space of the low--energy heterotic string theory preserving the asymptotics of the transformed fields and endowing them with multiple electromagnetic charges) on a generic solution of the double Ernst system and compute the generated field configurations for the 4D effective field theory of the heterotic string. This transformation generates the $U(1)^n$ vector field content of the whole low--energy heterotic string spectrum and gives rise to a pair of interacting rotating black holes endowed with dilaton, Kalb--Ramond and multiple electromagnetic fields where the charge vectors are orthogonal to each other.

description: Given a continuum $X$ and $p\in X$, we will consider the hyperspace $C(p,X)$ of all subcontinua of $X$ containing $p$ and the family $K(X)$ of all hyperspaces $C(q,X)$, where $q\in X$. In this paper we give some conditions on the points $p,q\in X$ to guarantee that $C(p,X)$ and $C(q,X)$ are homeomorphic, for finite graphs $X$. Also, we study the relationship between the homogeneity degree of a finite graph $X$ and the number of topologically distinct spaces in $K(X)$, called the size of $K(X)$. In addition, we construct for each positive integer $n$, a finite graph $X_n$ such that $K(X_n)$ has size $n$, and we present a theorem that allows to construct finite graphs $X$ with a degree of homogeneity different from the size of the family $K(X)$.

description: The latest reform of the Common Agricultural Policy has just been accepted, identifying important challenges for EU agriculture but proposing only limited changes to the previous CAP. Now it is time for the implementation of the new measures. However, from a theoretical point of view, it seems that the CAP can hardly meet the challenges it faces due to the inconsistencies between the predefined challenges and the measures proposed to meet them. The aim of the paper is to analyse the consistency between the challenges of European agriculture and the policy measures aimed at meeting them. It seems that not all measures are consistent with the challenges.

description: Abstract: Big Data will be an integral part of the next generation of technological developments—allowing us to gain new insights from the vast quantities of data being produced by modern life. There is significant potential for the application of Big Data to healthcare, but there are still some impediments to overcome, such as fragmentation, high costs, and questions around data ownership. Envisioning a future role for Big Data within the digital healthcare context means balancing the benefits of improving patient outcomes with the potential pitfalls of increasing physician burnout due to poor implementation leading to added complexity. Oncology, the field where Big Data collection and utilization got a heard start with programs like TCGA and the Cancer Moon Shot, provides an instructive example as we see different perspectives provided by the United States (US), the United Kingdom (UK) and other nations in the implementation of Big Data in patient care with regards to their centralization and regulatory approach to data. By drawing upon global approaches, we propose recommendations for guidelines and regulations of data use in healthcare centering on the creation of a unique global patient ID that can integrate data from a variety of healthcare providers. In addition, we expand upon the topic by discussing potential pitfalls to Big Data such as the lack of diversity in Big Data research, and the security and transparency risks posed by machine learning algorithms.

description: Abstract: Osteoarthritis is an increasingly important health problem for which the main treatment remains joint replacement. Therapy developments have been hampered by a lack of biomarkers that can reliably predict disease, while 2D radiographs interpreted by human observers are still the gold standard for clinical trial imaging assessment. We propose a 3D approach using computed tomography—a fast, readily available clinical technique—that can be applied in the assessment of osteoarthritis using a new quantitative 3D analysis technique called joint space mapping (JSM). We demonstrate the application of JSM at the hip in 263 healthy older adults from the AGES-Reykjavík cohort, examining relationships between 3D joint space width, 3D joint shape, and future joint replacement. Using JSM, statistical shape modelling, and statistical parametric mapping, we show an 18% improvement in prediction of joint replacement using 3D metrics combined with radiographic Kellgren & Lawrence grade (AUC 0.86) over the existing 2D FDA-approved gold standard of minimum 2D joint space width (AUC 0.73). We also show that assessment of joint asymmetry can reveal significant differences between individuals destined for joint replacement versus controls at regions of the joint that are not captured by radiographs. This technique is immediately implementable with standard imaging technologies.

description: This study investigates the long-run relationship between Ghana’s exports and imports for the period of 1948 to 2012. Using the Engle Granger two-step procedure we find that Ghana’s exports and imports are cointegrated. However, the slope coefficients from the cointegration equations were not statistically equal to 1. Furthermore, application of the error correction model reveals that 1% increase in the imports will significantly result in 0.56% increase in exports, suggesting that the exports’ responsiveness to imports is low. The estimated error correction coefficient suggests that 32% of the deviation from the long run equilibrium relation is eliminated, leaving 68% to persist into the next period. These results suggest persistence in the trade deficit and an option of curbing the deficit is to re-order the relationship between imports and exports with a view to reducing imports demand. These results imply that though Ghana’s past macroeconomic policies have been effective in bringing its imports and exports into a long run equilibrium, it is yet to satisfy the sufficient condition for sustainability of foreign deficit.
A faster implementation of the pivot algorithm for self-avoiding walks

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The pivot algorithm is a Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm for simulating the self-avoiding walk. At each iteration a pivot which produces a global change in the walk is proposed. If the resulting walk is self-avoiding, the new walk is accepted; otherwise, it is rejected. Past implementations of the algorithm required a time O(N) per accepted pivot, where N is the number of steps in the walk. We show how to implement the algorithm so that the time required per accepted pivot is O(N^q) with q<1. We estimate that q is less than 0.57 in two dimensions, and less than 0.85 in three dimensions. Corrections to the O(N^q) make an accurate estimate of q impossible. They also imply that the asymptotic behavior of O(N^q) cannot be seen for walk lengths which can be simulated. In simulations the effective q is around 0.7 in two dimensions and 0.9 in three dimensions. Comparisons with simulations that use the standard implementation of the pivot algorithm using a hash table indicate that our implementation is faster by as much as a factor of 80 in two dimensions and as much as a factor of 7 in three dimensions. Our method does not require the use of a hash table and should also be applicable to the pivot algorithm for off-lattice models.

description: We consider the quasilocal thermodynamics of rotating black holes in asymptotic de Sitter spacetimes. Using the minimal number of intrinsic boundary counterterms, we carry out an analysis of the quasilocal thermodynamics of Kerr-de Sitter black holes for virtually all possible values of the mass, rotation parameter and cosmological constant that leave the quasilocal boundary inside the cosmological event horizon. Specifically, we compute the quasilocal energy, the conserved charges, the temperature and the heat capacity for the $(3+1)$-dimensional Kerr-dS black holes. We perform a quasilocal stability analysis and find phase behavior that is commensurate with previous analysis carried out through the use of Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) parameters. Finally, we investigate the non-rotating case analytically.

description: Agricultural produce certification is synonymous to farm assurance of which cocoa certification is an example; dealing with issues of Good Agricultural, Environmental and Social Practices (GAP, GEP and GSP) in cocoa production. Essentially, GAP, GEP and GSP packages had in-built mechanism that can aid farmers mitigate factors that could lead to farm income risks in cocoa production. Consequently, this study examined the influence of cocoa certification on income risks of cocoa farming households in South-west Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 180 cocoa farming households from whose heads data were obtained with interview schedule in Southwest Nigeria. Data were analyzed with Chi-square Statistic, Income Risk Management Diversification Index (IRD) and Mann-Whitney-U Test Statistic. Chi-square analysis shows that (52.3%) certified cocoa farming households employed more risk management strategies than (94.2%) uncertified cocoa farming households (p<0.01). The Mann-Whitney-U test revealed a significant difference (p>0.05) between the income risk management practices of certified and uncertified cocoa farming households. Therefore, produce certification has been helping cocoa farming households in mitigating farm income risk in cocoa production through the employment of diverse (risk) management strategies. Hence, stakeholders should intensify efforts in encouraging farming households to embrace (cocoa) produce certification.

description: The Tonks-Girardeau model is a quantum mechanical model of N impenetrable bosons in 1+1 dimensions. A Vandermonde determinant provides the exact N-particle wave function of the ground state, or equivalently the matrix elements with respect to position eigenstates. We consider the large $N$ limit of these matrix elements. We present a binning prescription which calculates the leading terms of the matrix elements in a time which is independent of $N$, and so is suitable for this limit. In this sense, it allows one to solve for the ground state of a strongly coupled continuum quantum field theory in the field eigenstate basis. As examples, we calculate the matrix elements with respect to states with uniform density and also states consisting of two regions with distinct densities.

description: The proper time path integral representation is derived explicitly for Green's functions in QCD. After an introductory analysis of perturbative properties, the total gluonic field is separated in a rigorous way into a nonperturbative background and valence gluon part. For nonperturbative contributions the background perturbation theory is used systematically, yielding two types of expansions,illustrated by direct physical applications. As an application, we discuss the collinear singularities in the Feynman-Schwinger representation formalism. Moreover, the generalization to nonzero temperature is made and expressions for partition functions in perturbation theory and nonperturbative background are explicitly written down.

description: Abstract: Realistic model Hamiltonians for quantum spin liquids frequently exhibit a large separation of energy scales between their elementary excitations. At intermediate, experimentally relevant temperatures, some excitations are sparse and hop coherently, whereas others are thermally incoherent and dense. Here, we study the interplay of two such species of quasiparticle, dubbed spinons and visons, which are subject to nontrivial mutual statistics – one of the hallmarks of quantum spin liquid behaviour. Our results for Z2 quantum spin liquids show an intriguing feedback mechanism, akin to the Nagaoka effect, whereby spinons become localised on temperature-dependent patches of expelled visons. This phenomenon has important consequences for the thermodynamic and transport properties of the system, as well as for its response to quenches in temperature. We argue that these effects can be measured in experiments and may provide viable avenues for obtaining signatures of quantum spin liquid behaviour.
Quantum spin glass transition in the two-dimensional electron gas

description: We discuss the possibility of spin glass order in the vicinity of the unexpected metallic state of the two-dimensional electron gas in zero applied magnetic field. An average ferromagnetic moment may also be present, and the spin glass order then resides in the plane orthogonal to the ferromagnetic moment. We argue that a quantum transition involving the destruction of the spin glass order in an applied in-plane magnetic field offers a natural explanation of some features of recent magnetoconductance measurements. We present a quantum field theory for such a transition and compute its mean field properties.

description: We derive the analytical expression of local quantum uncertainty for three-qubit X-states. We give also the expressions of quantum discord and the negativity. A comparison of these three quantum correlations quantifiers is discussed in the special cases of mixed GHZ states and Bell-type states. We find that local quantum uncertainty gives the same amount of non-classical correlations as are measured by entropic quantum discord and goes beyond negativity. We also discuss the dynamics of non-classical correlations under the effect of phase damping, depolarizing and phase reversal channels. We find the local quantum uncertainty shows more robustness and exhibits, under phase reversal effect, revival and frozen phenomena. The monogamy property of local quantum uncertainty is also discussed. It is shown that it is monogamous for three-qubit states.

title: Quantum Cognitively Motivated Context-Aware Multimodal Representation Learning for Human Language Analysis
Creators: name: Gkoumas, Dimitris
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: A long-standing goal in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is to develop systems that can perceive and understand human multimodal language. This requires both the consideration of context in the form of surrounding utterances in a conversation, i.e., context modelling, as well as the impact of different modalities (e.g., linguistic, visual acoustic), i.e., multimodal fusion. In the last few years, significant strides have been made towards the interpretation of human language due to simultaneous advancement in deep learning, data gathering and computing infrastructure. AI models have been investigated to either model interactions across distinct modalities, i.e., linguistic, visual and acoustic, or model interactions across parties in a conversation, achieving unprecedented levels of performance. However, AI models are often designed with only performance as their design target, leaving aside other essential factors such as transparency, interpretability, and how humans understand and reason about cognitive states.

 In line with this observation, in this dissertation, we develop quantum probabilistic neural models and techniques that allow us to capture rational and irrational cognitive biases, without requiring a priori understanding and identification of them. First, we present a comprehensive empirical comparison of state-of-the-art (SOTA) modality fusion strategies for video sentiment analysis. The findings provide us helpful insights into the development of more effective modality fusion models incorporating quantum-inspired components. Second, we introduce an end-to-end complex-valued neural model for video sentiment analysis, simulating quantum procedural steps, outside of physics, into the neural network modelling paradigm. Third, we investigate non-classical correlations across different modalities. In particular, we describe a methodology to model interactions between image and text for an information retrieval scenario. The results provide us with theoretical and empirical insights to develop a transparent end-to-end probabilistic neural model for video emotion detection in conversations, capturing non-classical correlations across distinct modalities. Fourth, we introduce a theoretical framework to model user's cognitive states underlying their multimodal decision perspectives, and propose a methodology to capture interference of modalities in decision making.

 Overall, we show that our models advance the SOTA on various affective analysis tasks, achieve high transparency due to the mapping to quantum physics meanings, and improve post-hoc interpretability, unearthing useful and explainable knowledge about cross-modal interactions.
Revealing the chemical structure of the Class I disc Oph-IRS 67

description: (Abridged) The purpose of this paper is to explore the structure of a line-rich Class I protobinary source, Oph-IRS 67, and analyse the differences and similarities with Class 0 and Class II sources. We present a systematic molecular line study of IRS 67 with the Submillimeter Array (SMA) on 1 - 2" (150 - 300 AU) scales. The wide instantaneous band-width of the SMA observations (~30 GHz) provide detections of a range of molecular transitions that trace different physics, such as CO isotopologues, sulphur-bearing species, deuterated species, and carbon-chain molecules. We see significant differences between different groups of species. For example, the CO isotopologues and sulphur-bearing species show a rotational profile and are tracing the larger-scale circumbinary disc structure, while CN, DCN, and carbon-chain molecules peak at the southern edge of the disc at blue-shifted velocities. In addition, the cold gas tracer DCO+ is seen beyond the extent of the circumbinary disc. The detected molecular transitions can be grouped into three main components: cold regions far from the system, the circumbinary disc, and a UV-irradiated region likely associated with the surface layers of the disc that are reached by the UV radiation from the sources. The different components are consistent with the temperature structure derived from the ratio of two H2CO transitions, that is, warm temperatures are seen towards the outflow direction, lukewarm temperatures are associated with the UV-radiated region, and cold temperatures are related with the circumbinary disc structure. The chemistry towards IRS 67 shares similarities with both Class 0 and Class II sources, possibly due to the high gas column density and the strong UV radiation arising from the binary system. IRS 67 is, therefore, highlighting the intermediate chemistry between deeply embedded sources and T-Tauri discs.

description:    Background

Cash Transfer Programs where cash is given directly to poor and vulnerable households are a tool that is increasingly being used inhumanitarian response. While they comprise only 6 per cent of total relief budgets to date, this figure is expected to rise in the future as bothfunders and implementers see their value and impact. The interest in CBIs for humanitarian response comes from robust evidence in thedevelopment sector that regular, predictable cash transfers can help reduce the depth and severity of poverty improve food security and positively impact certain education and health outcomes. Potential positive outcomes for cash- based programs also exist in humanitariancontexts. For beneficiary families, cash may enable households to recover more quickly from shocks, equip them with more dignity by providing choice in spending and help stimulate local economies. For donors and implementers, cash may reduce logistical challenges in provisioning food and other in-kind supplies; lessen risks of looting and leakage and increase the accountability and efficiency ofhumanitarian aid
