description: We have reexamined the thermally induced Co(NH_3)_6^{2+/3+} [Co(II/III)] redox reaction using the first principles density-functional-theory method, semiclassical Marcus theory, and known charge transfer parameters. We confirm a previously suggested mechanism involving excited state (^2E_g) of Co(II) which becomes lower than the ground state (^4T_1g) in the transition state region. This lowers the transition state barrier considerably by about 6.9 kcal/mol and leads to a spin-allowed and adiabatic electron exchange process. Our calculations are consistent with previous experimental results regarding the spin-excitation energy (^3T_1g) of Co(III), and the fact that an optical absorption peak (^2E_g) of the Co(II) species could not be found experimentally. Our rate is of order 6 10^{-3} 1/Ms and hence 2 orders of magnitude faster than determined previously by experiments.

description: We provide a continuous time limit analysis for the class of Ensemble Square Root Filter algorithms with deterministic model perturbations. In the particular linear case, we specify general conditions on the model perturbations implying convergence of the empirical mean and covariance matrix towards their respective counterparts of the Kalman-Bucy Filter. As a second main result we identify additional assumptions for the convergence of the whole ensemble towards solutions of the Ensemble Kalman-Bucy filtering equations introduced in [1]. The latter result can be generalized to nonlinear Lipschitz-continuous model operators. A striking implication of our results is the fact that the limiting equations for the ensemble members are universal for a large class of Ensemble Square Root Filters. This yields a mathematically rigorous justification for the analysis of these algorithms with the help of the Ensemble Kalman-Bucy Filter.

description: This article explores measurable factors that influence consumers’ willingness to pay for locally produced blueberry mixes: Pancake mix, Muffin mix and Banana Bread mix. The innovative aspect of this study is the experiential take-and-bake experiment survey used in order to evaluate consumers’ willingness to pay for the product. A survey, along with two of the three recipes – dry mixes to be combined with locally grown frozen fruit - was distributed to potential consumers at diverse locations of study. Participants were instructed to prepare the products at home, sample the prepared product and then evaluate the product and process. Sensory and preparation experience attributes for each recipe were considered as potential variables influencing overall WTP, including previous cooking experience for similar products, watching the Food Network, and related shopping choices. The post-preparation survey used a payment card approach to elicit WTP for each product tried as well as the hypothetical third product not tried. A total of 101 out of 102 participants (99.01%) completed the process and returned the survey. Average WTP for the blueberry pancake mix was $3.45, muffin mix $3.25, and the banana-blueberry bread $3.39. The estimate regression of Censored Tobit model of WTP suggests Trial of one product out of three is significant and Age of participant also is significant. The positive correlation of some variables estimate Trial, Baking of Blueberries Experience, Education, Income, Gender (Male), and Watching Food Network showed that these factors have positive effect on WTP for some products. The paper develops the WTP models and also examines the experience versus the hypothetical effects on stated WTP. The results provide some measure of market opportunity, suggest positioning strategies, and also suggest strong returns to home trial marketing incentives for these products.

description: Highlights: A new way to achieve high yield and large area oxide thin film transfer is developed. Three different film compositions are demonstrated: SrRuO3, CeO2, and CeO2/STO nanocomposite films. Cracks, wrinkles, and damages are prevented by the new transfer method. They are commonly introduced by conventional transfer processes. Vertically aligned nanocomposite (VAN) structures can further improve the transfer yield. Possible mechanisms related to increased fracture toughness are proposed. We have opened up a route to large-scale oxide thin-film-based electronic device applications.

description: We report on the emergence of bulk, valley-polarized currents in graphene-based devices, driven by spatially varying regions of broken sublattice symmetry, and revealed by non-local resistance ($R_\mathrm{NL}$) fingerprints. By using a combination of quantum transport formalisms, giving access to bulk properties as well as multi-terminal device responses, the presence of a non-uniform local bandgap is shown to give rise to valley-dependent scattering and a finite Fermi surface contribution to the valley Hall conductivity, related to characteristics of $R_\mathrm{NL}$. These features are robust against disorder and provide a plausible interpretation of controversial experiments in graphene/hBN superlattices. Our findings suggest both an alternative mechanism for the generation of valley Hall effect in graphene, and a route towards valley-dependent electron optics, by materials and device engineering.

description: The pinning properties of type-II superconductors can be efficiently controlled by using laterally nanostructured ferromagnet / superconductor bilayers. This will be illustrated by studying the flux pinning in thin superconducting Pb films which are deposited on top of two types of magnetic nanostructures with out-of-plane magnetisation: (i) an array of dots, and (ii) an array of antidots, both made from a Co/Pt multilayer. The magnetisation curves of the Pb film are extremely asymmetric with respect to the polarity of the magnetic field when the magnetic moments in the Co/Pt multilayer were aligned prior to measurement. This asymmetry proves that magnetic contributions dominate the pinning potential that the magnetic nanostructures induce in the superconductor.

description: In recent years, vanity license plates have become an increasingly popular way to raise awareness and show support for a myriad of issues with which the plate is linked. Several states along with various forestry education provider organizations have developed a forestry license plate. Vehicle owners can purchase the plates to show their support towards forestry by buying that license plate, which generates revenue for the provider organization. Using county level data from 4 states in the United States, a statistical model was developed examine explanatory factors of forestry based specialty license plate sales in 2014. Using linear OLS model and elasticity model, we observed that the significant predictor variables are—income, population density, area of county in acres, acres of timberland in the county, percentage of people who are 65 or older, and the number of people associated with forestry related jobs. All these variables are found to be positively related to the increase of plate sales. After a certain level, plate sales started to decline with increasing number of people associated with forestry related jobs.

description: We study the distributions of traveling length l and minimal traveling time t through two-dimensional percolation porous media characterized by long-range spatial correlations. We model the dynamics of fluid displacement by the convective movement of tracer particles driven by a pressure difference between two fixed sites (''wells'') separated by Euclidean distance r. For strongly correlated pore networks at criticality, we find that the probability distribution functions P(l) and P(t) follow the same scaling Ansatz originally proposed for the uncorrelated case, but with quite different scaling exponents. We relate these changes in dynamical behavior to the main morphological difference between correlated and uncorrelated clusters, namely, the compactness of their backbones. Our simulations reveal that the dynamical scaling exponents for correlated geometries take values intermediate between the uncorrelated and homogeneous limiting cases.

description: Organisms rely on inducible and constitutive immune defences to combat infection. Constitutive immunity enables a rapid response to infection but may carry a cost for uninfected individuals, leading to the prediction that it will be favoured when infection rates are high. When we exposed populations of Drosophila melanogaster to intense parasitism by the parasitoid wasp Leptopilina boulardi, they evolved resistance by developing a more reactive cellular immune response. Using single-cell RNA sequencing, we found that immune-inducible genes had become constitutively upregulated. This was the result of resistant larvae differentiating precursors of specialized immune cells called lamellocytes that were previously only produced after infection. Therefore, populations evolved resistance by genetically hard-wiring the first steps of an induced immune response to become constitutive.

description: The self-trapping transition due to a single and a dimer nonlinear impurity embedded in a Cayley tree is studied. In particular, the effect of a perfectly nonlinear Cayley tree is considered. A sharp self-trapping transition is observed in each case. It is also observed that the transition is much sharper compared to the case of one-dimensional lattices. For each system, the critical values of $χ$ for the self-trapping transitions are found to obey a power-law behavior as a function of the connectivity $K$ of the Cayley tree.

description: What would be the impacts of a viable market for corn stover? A partial equilibrium model and a linear programing model were used to determine to what extent the existence of a viable market for corn stover would affect the traditional corn-soybean crop rotation in the US. We find that with government support production of biofuel from corn stover could significantly increase. That boosts profitability of farming corn in combination with harvesting corn stover versus soybeans. We show that if corn stover is demanded for biofuel, then a major shift will be observed in crop rotations in the US.

description: Alkynyl-functionalized graphene oxide (A-GO) is an integral part of the click chemistry of graphene. However, this kind of functionalization often occurs in organic solvent system. In this study, a simple method was used to prepare alkynyl-functionalized graphene oxide under mild and environmental-friendly conditions. The results showed that graphene oxide was successfully modified by propargylamine. When the mass ratio of graphene oxide to propargylamine is 1:4, the highest grafting rate is 4.91%. The resulting sample became rougher in microscopic morphology, but still had a lamellar structure. In addition, it can be obtained from XPS that in addition to the ring-opening reaction between the epoxy group and the amino group, there is also the interaction between the carboxyl group and alkynyl ammonium. The present work provides a facile and environmental-friendly strategy toward alkynyl-functionalized graphene oxide.

Beam defining plastic scintillation counters were operated in a ~1 MHz stopped $π^+$ beam for a period of 297 days, accumulating radiation doses of up to 2 Mrad. Detectors in the charged particle tracking system--a pair of cylindrical multi-wire proportional chambers and a thin plastic scintillation barrel-shaped hodoscope array--were irradiated during the same running period with an average dose of ~40 krad. Individual CsI(undoped crystal) calorimeter detectors received an average dose of ~120 rad, mainly from photons, positrons and protons originating from $π^+$ hadronic interactions as well as from $π^+$ and $μ^+$ weak decays at rest in the active target.

description: Abstract: Background: Genome-wide association studies have identified 196 high confidence independent signals associated with breast cancer susceptibility. Variants within these signals frequently fall in distal regulatory DNA elements that control gene expression. Results: We designed a Capture Hi-C array to enrich for chromatin interactions between the credible causal variants and target genes in six human mammary epithelial and breast cancer cell lines. We show that interacting regions are enriched for open chromatin, histone marks for active enhancers, and transcription factors relevant to breast biology. We exploit this comprehensive resource to identify candidate target genes at 139 independent breast cancer risk signals and explore the functional mechanism underlying altered risk at the 12q24 risk region. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate the power of combining genetics, computational genomics, and molecular studies to rationalize the identification of key variants and candidate target genes at breast cancer GWAS signals.

description: We study the decoherence of a single electron spin in an isolated quantum dot induced by hyperfine interaction with nuclei for times smaller than the nuclear spin relaxation time. The decay is caused by the spatial variation of the electron envelope wave function within the dot, leading to a non-uniform hyperfine coupling. We evaluate the spin correlation function with and without magnetic fields and find that the decay of the spin precession amplitude is not exponential but rather power (inverse logarithm) law-like. For fully polarized nuclei we find an exact solution and show that the precession amplitude and the decay behavior can be tuned by the magnetic field. The corresponding decay time is given by $\hbar N/A$, where $A$ is a hyperfine interaction constant and $N$ the number of nuclei inside the dot. The amplitude of precession, reached as a result of the decay, is finite. We show that there is a striking difference between the decoherence time for a single dot and the dephasing time for an ensemble of dots.

description: The preparation of carbon dots (CDs) from different biomass source represents an interesting alternative to obtain these nanoparticles, mainly when they can be prepared using low-cost methods. In this work we have used a nitrogen-rich precursor, chitosan, to obtain CDs using two different methods, acid dehydration (AD) and hydrothermal carbonization (HC), with the aim to study the different characteristics of the obtained nanoparticles. Also, a simple method to functionalize the CDs was applied to enhance the optical properties of the carbon nanoparticles. The obtained CDs were characterized by several techniques including FTIR, Elemental Analysis, TEM, UV-Vis, Fluorescence, and Potentiometric Titration. Size distribution measurements showed that the CDs had a narrow size distribution, with the diameters in the range 1.0–3.6 nm. Also, the CDs obtained by the HC method showed a greater amount of nitrogen functional groups than the nanoparticles prepared by the AD route. The functionalized CDs obtained from the HC method reached 15.3% of quantum yield. Furthermore, the obtained CDs were used as fluorescent sensors for different metal ions. Finally, these results represent an alternative to obtain biomass-derived CDs prepared via a low-cost method, presenting a relatively high quantum yield with potential applications in different areas.

Investigation of these features at Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaiʻi, using an integrative crystallographic and chemical approach places quantitative constraints on mush pile thicknesses. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) reveals that the microstructural features of distorted olivines, whose chemical composition is distinct from undistorted olivines, are remarkably similar to olivines within deformed mantle peridotites, but inconsistent with an origin from dendritic growth. This, alongside the spatial distribution of distorted grains and the absence of adcumulate textures, suggests that olivines were deformed within melt-rich mush piles accumulating within the summit reservoir. Quantitative analysis of subgrain geometry reveals that olivines experienced differential stresses of ∼3–12 MPa, consistent with their storage in mush piles with thicknesses of a few hundred metres. Overall, our microstructural analysis of erupted crystals provides novel insights into mush-rich magmatic systems.

description: Integral representations are considered of solutions of the inhomogeneous Airy differential equation $w''-z w=\pm1/π$. The solutions of these equations are also known as Scorer functions. Certain functional relations for these functions are used to confine the discussion to one function and to a certain sector in the complex plane. By using steepest descent methods from asymptotics, the standard integral representations of the Scorer functions are modified in order to obtain non-oscillating integrals for complex values of $z$. In this way stable representations for numerical evaluations of the functions are obtained. The methods are illustrated with numerical results.

description: Abstract: Mobile eye-tracking was used to investigate the link between teacher gaze and student-rated teacher interpersonal behaviour. Teacher gaze was recorded for 10 min during a teacher-centred part of a naturally occurring lesson. The Questionnaire on Teacher Interaction was then administered to assess how UK students evaluated their teacher interpersonally in that lesson. Teachers conveyed greater dominance (or interpersonal agency) through increasing eye contact while asking questions (‘attentional gaze’). Teachers conveyed more interpersonal friendliness (or communion) through increasing eye contact while lecturing (‘communicative gaze’). Culture did not affect the way gaze was associated with students’ interpersonal perceptions.

description: Neural architecture search (NAS) aims to automate the search procedure of architecture instead of manual design. Even if recent NAS approaches finish the search within days, lengthy training is still required for a specific architecture candidate to get the parameters for its accurate evaluation. Recently one-shot NAS methods are proposed to largely squeeze the tedious training process by sharing parameters across candidates. In this way, the parameters for each candidate can be directly extracted from the shared parameters instead of training them from scratch. However, they have no sense of which candidate will perform better until evaluation so that the candidates to evaluate are randomly sampled and the top-1 candidate is considered the best. In this paper, we propose a Self-Evaluated Template Network (SETN) to improve the quality of the architecture candidates for evaluation so that it is more likely to cover competitive candidates. SETN consists of two components: (1) an evaluator, which learns to indicate the probability of each individual architecture being likely to have a lower validation loss. The candidates for evaluation can thus be selectively sampled according to this evaluator. (2) a template network, which shares parameters among all candidates to amortize the training cost of generated candidates. In experiments, the architecture found by SETN achieves state-of-the-art performance on CIFAR and ImageNet benchmarks within comparable computation costs.

description: This thesis explores leveraging adversarial machine learning to safeguard emotional privacy in the era of pervasive social media. It proposes a method that introduces subtle modifications, or “adversarial perturbations,” to video-based emotion recognition, making emotions more difficult to detect while preserving natural content. The study examines the applicability of these techniques across multimodal systems combining text, images, and video. A novel architecture for universal adversarial attacks is presented, with evaluations demonstrating its effectiveness in maintaining privacy, robustness, and transferability. This study emphasizes the potential of machine learning in responsibly safeguarding privacy in real-world affective computing applications.
Barycenters for the Hellinger--Kantorovich distance over $\mathbb{R}^d$

description: We study the barycenter of the Hellinger--Kantorovich metric over non-negative measures on compact, convex subsets of $\mathbb{R}^d$. The article establishes existence, uniqueness (under suitable assumptions) and equivalence between a coupled-two-marginal and a multi-marginal formulation. We analyze the HK barycenter between Dirac measures in detail, and find that it differs substantially from the Wasserstein barycenter by exhibiting a local `clustering' behaviour, depending on the length scale of the input measures. In applications it makes sense to simultaneously consider all choices of this scale, leading to a 1-parameter family of barycenters. We demonstrate the usefulness of this family by analyzing point clouds sampled from a mixture of Gaussians and inferring the number and location of the underlying Gaussians.

description: We study the Kondo screening effect generated by a single-electron transistor or quantum dot embedded in a small metallic ring. When the ring circumference $L$ becomes comparable to the fundamental length scale $ξ_K^0=\hbar \upsilon _F/T_K^0$ associated with the {\it bulk} Kondo tempe the Kondo resonance is strongly affected, depending on the total number of electrons ({\it modulo} 4) and magnetic flux threading the ring. The resulting Kondo-assisted persistent currents are also calculated in both Kondo and mixed valence regimes, and the maximum values are found in the crossover region.

description: Abstract: Modern high-throughput experiments provide a rich resource to investigate causal determinants of disease risk. Mendelian randomization (MR) is the use of genetic variants as instrumental variables to infer the causal effect of a specific risk factor on an outcome. Multivariable MR is an extension of the standard MR framework to consider multiple potential risk factors in a single model. However, current implementations of multivariable MR use standard linear regression and hence perform poorly with many risk factors. Here, we propose a two-sample multivariable MR approach based on Bayesian model averaging (MR-BMA) that scales to high-throughput experiments. In a realistic simulation study, we show that MR-BMA can detect true causal risk factors even when the candidate risk factors are highly correlated. We illustrate MR-BMA by analysing publicly-available summarized data on metabolites to prioritise likely causal biomarkers for age-related macular degeneration.
Modelling Bose-condensed gases at finite temperatures with $N$-body simulations

description: We consider a model of a dilute Bose-Einstein condensed gas at finite temperatures, where the condensate coexists in a trap with a cloud of thermal excitations. Within the ZGN formalism, the dynamics of the condensate is described by a generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation, while the thermal cloud is represented by a semiclassical kinetic equation. Our numerical approach simulates the kinetic equation using a cloud of representative test particles, while collisions are treated by means of a Monte Carlo sampling technique. A full 3D split-operator Fast Fourier Transform method is used to evolve the condensate wavefunction. We give details regarding the numerical methods used and discuss simulations carried out to test the accuracy of the numerics. We use this scheme to simulate the monopole mode in a spherical trap. The dynamical coupling between the condensate and thermal cloud is responsible for frequency shifts and damping of the condensate collective mode. We compare our results to previous theoretical approaches, not only to confirm the reliability of our numerical scheme, but also to check the validity of approximations which have been used in the past.

description: Abstract: Background: Genetic variants identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are predominantly non-coding and typically attributed to altered regulatory elements such as enhancers and promoters. However, the contribution of non-coding RNAs to complex traits is not clear. Results: Using targeted RNA sequencing, we systematically annotated multi-exonic non-coding RNA (mencRNA) genes transcribed from 1.5-Mb intervals surrounding 139 breast cancer GWAS signals and assessed their contribution to breast cancer risk. We identify more than 4000 mencRNA genes and show their expression distinguishes normal breast tissue from tumors and different breast cancer subtypes. Importantly, breast cancer risk variants, identified through genetic fine-mapping, are significantly enriched in mencRNA exons, but not the promoters or introns. eQTL analyses identify mencRNAs whose expression is associated with risk variants. Furthermore, chromatin interaction data identify hundreds of mencRNA promoters that loop to regions that contain breast cancer risk variants. Conclusions: We have compiled the largest catalog of breast cancer-associated mencRNAs to date and provide evidence that modulation of mencRNAs by GWAS variants may provide an alternative mechanism underlying complex traits.
