description: Kontsevich designed a scheme to generate infinitesimal symmetries $\dot{\mathcal{P}} = \mathcal{Q}(\mathcal{P})$ of Poisson brackets $\mathcal{P}$ on all affine manifolds $M^r$; every such deformation is encoded by oriented graphs on $n+2$ vertices and $2n$ edges. In particular, these symmetries can be obtained by orienting sums of non-oriented graphs $γ$ on $n$ vertices and $2n-2$ edges. The bi-vector flow $\dot{\mathcal{P}} = \text{Or}(γ)(\mathcal{P})$ preserves the space of Poisson structures if $γ$ is a cocycle with respect to the vertex-expanding differential in the graph complex. A class of such cocycles $\boldsymbolγ_{2\ell+1}$ is known to exist: marked by $\ell \in \mathbb{N}$, each of them contains a $(2\ell+1)$-gon wheel with a nonzero coefficient. At $\ell=1$ the tetrahedron $\boldsymbolγ_3$ itself is a cocycle; at $\ell=2$ the Kontsevich--Willwacher pentagon-wheel cocycle $\boldsymbolγ_5$ consists of two graphs. We reconstruct the symmetry $\mathcal{Q}_5(\mathcal{P}) = \text{Or}(\boldsymbolγ_5)(\mathcal{P})$ and verify that $\mathcal{Q}_5$ is a Poisson cocycle indeed: $[\![\mathcal{P},\mathcal{Q}_5(\mathcal{P})]\!]\doteq 0$ via $[\![\mathcal{P},\mathcal{P}]\!]=0$.

description: Congenital prosopagnosia refers to the deficit in face processing that is apparent from early childhood in the absence of any underlying neurological basis and in the presence of intact sensory and intellectual function. Several such cases have been described recently and elucidating the mechanisms giving rise to this impairment should aid our understanding of the psychological and neural mechanisms mediating face processing. Fundamental questions include: What is the nature and extent of the face-processing deficit in congenital prosopagnosia? Is the deficit related to a more general perceptual deficit such as the failure to process configural information? Are any neural alterations detectable using fMRI, ERP or structural analyses of the anatomy of the ventral visual cortex? We discuss these issues in relation to the existing literature and suggest directions for future research.

description: We study the effect of the rotation on a harmonically trapped Fermi gas at zero temperature under the assumption that vortices are not formed. We show that at unitarity the rotation produces a phase separation between a non rotating superfluid (S) core and a rigidly rotating normal (N) gas. The interface between the two phases is characterized by a density discontinuity $n_{\rm N}/n_{\rm S}= 0.85$, independent of the angular velocity. The depletion of the superfluid and the angular momentum of the rotating configuration are calculated as a function of the angular velocity. The conditions of stability are also discussed and the critical angular velocity for the onset of a spontaneous quadrupole deformation of the interface is evaluated.

description: Urbanisation alters biodiversity patterns and threatens to disrupt mutualistic interactions. Aside from pollination, however, little is known about how mutualisms change in cities. Our study aimed to assess how urbanisation affects the protective mutualism between ants and aphids, investigating potential behavioural changes in mutualistic ants and their implications for aphids in urban environments. To do so, we studied the protective mutualism between the pink tansy aphid (Metopeurum fuscoviride) and the black garden ant (Lasius niger) along an urbanisation gradient in Berlin, Germany. In nine locations along this gradient, we measured aphid colony dynamics and proxies for parasitism, quantified the investment of ants in tending aphids and conducted behavioural assays to test the aggressiveness of ant responses to a simulated attack on the aphids. We found that aphid colonies flourished and were equally tended by ants across the urbanisation gradient, with a consistent positive density dependence between aphid and ant numbers. However, ants from more urbanised sites responded more aggressively to the simulated attack. Our findings suggest that this protective mutualism is not only maintained in the city, but that ants might even rely more on it and defend it more aggressively, as other food resources may become scarce and more unpredictable with urbanisation. We thereby provide unique insights into this type of mutualism in the city, further diversifying the growing body of work on mutualisms across urbanisation gradients.

description: Developing cobalt-substituted perovskite electroactive membranes with an efficient Co/Cu combination mode is an important environmental challenge for removing drugs via peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation. In this work, cobalt (Co)-substituted calcium copper titanatewas synthesized with an easy ball milling process and used as an anode in electro-oxidation in the presence of PMS for paracetamol degradation. The Co-CCTO anode with a Co ratio of 0.5 showed the highest removal efficiency (100 % of 10 ppm paracetamol after 180 min) due to the increase of the active sites and the appearance of the Co2+/Co3+ cycle that accelerates the charge transfer with Co incorporation into the lattice. Scavenger experiments showed that sulfate radicals (SO4̇−), oxygen radicals (O2̇-), hydroxyl radicals (̇OH), and singlet oxygen (1O2) were generated in the electro-oxidation-PMS reaction system and that SO4̇−, 1O2, and O2̇- were the dominant active radicals. The toxicity tests with Vibrio fischeri confirmed paracetamol mineralization and decomposition and the elimination of harmful by-products. It is crucial to explore the substitution of CCTO with different metal dopants in order to optimize the membrane performance and overcome the limitations associated with cobalt substitution.

description: We present radio continuum maps of 12 nearby ($D\leq 27~\rm Mpc$), edge-on ($i\geq 76^{\circ}$), late-type spiral galaxies mostly at $1.4$ and 5 GHz, observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array, Very Large Array, Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope, Effelsberg 100-m and Parkes 64-m telescopes. All galaxies show clear evidence of radio haloes, including the first detection in the Magellanic-type galaxy NGC 55. In 11 galaxies, we find a thin and a thick disc that can be better fitted by exponential rather than Gaussian functions. We fit our SPINNAKER (SPectral INdex Numerical Analysis of K(c)osmic-ray Electron Radio-emission) 1D cosmic-ray transport models to the vertical model profiles of the non-thermal intensity and to the non-thermal radio spectral index in the halo. We simultaneously fit for the advection speed (or diffusion coefficient) and magnetic field scale height. In the thick disc, the magnetic field scale heights range from 2 to 8 kpc with an average across the sample of $3.0\pm 1.7~\rm kpc$; they show no correlation with either star-formation rate (SFR), SFR surface density ($Σ_{\rm SFR}$) or rotation speed ($V_{\rm rot}$). The advection speeds range from 100 to $700~\rm km\,s^{-1}$ and display correlations of $V\propto \rm SFR^{0.36\pm 0.06}$ and $V\propto Σ_{\rm SFR}^{0.39\pm 0.09}$; they agree remarkably well with the escape velocities ($0.5\leq V/V_{\rm esc}\leq 2$), which can be explained by cosmic-ray driven winds. Radio haloes show the presence of disc winds in galaxies with $Σ_{\rm SFR} > 10^{-3}~\rm M_{\odot}\,yr^{-1}\,kpc^{-2}$ that extend over several kpc and are driven by processes related to the distributed star formation in the disc.

description: We discuss two striking Large Hadron Collider (LHC) signatures of the constrained version of the exceptional supersymmetric standard model (cE6SSM), based on a universal high energy soft scalar mass m_0, soft trilinear coupling A_0 and soft gaugino mass M_{1/2}. The first signature we discuss is that of light exotic colour triplet charge 1/3 fermions, which we refer to as D-fermions. We calculate the LHC production cross section of D-fermions, and discuss their decay patterns. Secondly we discuss the E6 type U(1)_N spin-1 Z' gauge boson and show how it may decay into exotic states, increasing its width and modifying the line shape of the dilepton final state. We illustrate these features using two representative cE6SSM benchmark points, including an "early LHC discovery" point, giving the Feynman rules and numerical values for the relevant couplings in order to facilitate further studies.

description: Glioblastoma (GB) is one of the most lethal types of neoplasms with unique anatomic, physiologic, and pathologic features that usually persist after exposure to standard therapeutic modalities. It is biologically aggressive, and the existence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) limits the efficacy of standard therapies. In this work, we hypothesize the potential of surface-functionalized ultra-small nanostructured lipid carriers (usNLCs) with charge-switchable cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) to overcome this biological barrier and improve targeted delivery to brain tumor tissues. The big question is: what is the potential of CPPs in directing nanoparticles toward brain tumor tissue? To answer this question, the usNLCs were functionalized with distinct biomolecules [five CPPs, c(RGDfK) and transferrin, Tf] through electrostatic interaction and its ability as a targeting approach to BBB (HBMEC) and glioma cells (U87 cells) evaluated in terms of physicochemical properties, cellular uptake, permeability in a 2D-BBB model, and tumor growth inhibition. Monte Carlo simulations elucidated CPP adsorption patterns. The permeability studies revealed that targeted usNLCs, especially usNLCsTf and usNLCsCPP4, exhibited an increased permeability coefficient compared to the non-targeted usNLCs. Functionalized usNLCs evidenced enhanced uptake in BBB cells, with smaller CPPs showing higher internalization (CPP1 and CPP2). Similarly, functionalized usNLCs exhibited more significant cytotoxicity in glioma cells, with specific CPPs promoting favorable internalization. Analysis of the endocytic pathway indicated that usNLCsCPPs were mainly internalized by direct translocation and caveolae-mediated endocytosis. Optimal usNLCs with dual targeting capabilities to both BBB and GB cells provide a promising therapeutic strategy for GB.
A higher-dimensional model of the nucleon-nucleon central potential

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)

description: Based on a theory of extra dimensional confinement of quantum particles [E. R. Hedin, Physics Essays 25, 2 (2012)], a simple model of a nucleon-nucleon (NN) central potential is derived which quantitatively reproduces the radial profile of other models, without adjusting any free parameters. It is postulated that a higher-dimensional simple harmonic oscillator confining potential localizes particles into 3d space, but allows for an evanescent penetration of the particles into two higher spatial dimensions. Producing an effect identical with the relativistic quantum phenomenon of zitterbewegung, the higher-dimensional oscillations of amplitude h/(2πmc) can be alternatively viewed as a localized curvature of 3d space back and forth into the higher dimensions. The overall spatial curvature is proportional to the particle`s extra dimensional ground state wave function in the higher dimensional harmonic confining potential well. Minimizing the overlapping curvature (proportional to the energy) of two particles in proximity to each other, subject to the constraint that for the two particles to occupy the same spatial location one of them must be excited into the first excited state of the harmonic potential well, gives the desired NN potential. Specifying only the nucleon masses, the resulting potential well and repulsive core reproduces the radial profile of several published NN central potential models. In addition, the predicted height of the repulsive core, when used to estimate the maximum neutron star mass, matches well with the best estimates from relativistic theory incorporating standard nuclear matter equations of state. Nucleon spin, Coulomb interactions, and internal nucleon structure are not considered in the theory as presented in this article.

description: The attraction of insects to artificial light is a global environmental problem with far-reaching implications for ecosystems. Since light pollution is rarely integrated into conservation approaches, effective mitigation strategies towards environmentally friendly lighting that drastically reduce insect attraction are urgently needed. Here, we tested novel luminaires in two experiments (i) at a controlled experimental field site and (ii) on streets within three municipalities. The luminaires are individually tailored to only emit light onto the target area and to reduce spill light. In addition, a customized shielding renders the light source nearly invisible beyond the lit area. We show that these novel luminaires significantly reduce the attraction effect on flying insects compared to different conventional luminaires with the same illuminance on the ground. This underlines the huge potential of spatially optimized lighting to help to bend the curve of global insect decline without compromising human safety aspects. A customized light distribution should therefore be part of sustainable future lighting concepts, most relevant in the vicinity of protected areas.

description: An Electroencephalography (EEG) dataset utilizing rich text stimuli can advance the understanding of how the brain encodes semantic information and contribute to semantic decoding in brain-computer interface (BCI). Addressing the scarcity of EEG datasets featuring Chinese linguistic stimuli, we present the ChineseEEG dataset, a high-density EEG dataset complemented by simultaneous eye-tracking recordings. This dataset was compiled while 10 participants silently read approximately 13 hours of Chinese text from two well-known novels. This dataset provides long-duration EEG recordings, along with pre-processed EEG sensor-level data and semantic embeddings of reading materials extracted by a pre-trained natural language processing (NLP) model. As a pilot EEG dataset derived from natural Chinese linguistic stimuli, ChineseEEG can significantly support research across neuroscience, NLP, and linguistics. It establishes a benchmark dataset for Chinese semantic decoding, aids in the development of BCIs, and facilitates the exploration of alignment between large language models and human cognitive processes. It can also aid research into the brain’s mechanisms of language processing within the context of the Chinese natural language.

description: In order to determine optimal parameters of vacuum thermal processing of superconducting radiofrequency niobium cavities exhaustive information on the initial chemical state of niobium and its modification upon a vacuum heat treatment is required. In the present work the chemical composition of the niobium surface upon ultra-high vacuum baking at 200 C-degrees-400 C-degrees similar to 'medium-temperature baking' and 'furnace baking' of cavities is explored in-situ by synchrotron x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Our findings imply that below the critical thickness of the Nb2O5 layer (approximate to 1nm) niobium starts to interact actively with surface impurities, such as carbon and phosphorus. By studying the kinetics of the native oxide reduction, the activation energy and the rate-constant relation have been determined and used for the calculation of the oxygen-concentration depth profiles. It has been established that the controlled diffusion of oxygen is realized at temperatures 200 C-degrees-300 C-degrees, and the native-oxide layer represents an oxygen source, while at 400 C-degrees the pentoxide is completely reduced and the doping level is determined by an ambient oxygen partial pressure. Fluorine (F to Nb atomic ratio is 0.2) after the buffered chemical polishing was found to be incorporated into the surface layer probed by XPS (approximate to 4.6nm), and its concentration increased during the low-temperature baking (F/Nb = 0.35 at 230 C-degrees) and depleted at higher temperatures (F/Nb = 0.11 at 400 C-degrees). Thus, the influence of fluorine on the performance of mid-T baked, nitrogen-doped and particularly mild-baked (120 C-degrees/48 h) cavities must be considered. The possible role of fluorine in the educed Nb+5 -> Nb+4 reaction under the impact of an x-ray beam at room temperature and during the thermal treatment is also discussed. The range of temperature and duration parameters of the thermal treatment at which the niobium surface would not be contaminated with impurities is determined.

description: Studies of the perceptual performance of individuals with autism have focused, to a large extent, on two domains of visual behavior, one associated with face processing and the other associated with global or holistic processing. Whether autistic individuals differ from neurotypical individuals in these domains is debatable and, moreover, the relationship between the behaviors in these two domains remains unclear. We first compared the face processing ability of 14 adult individuals with autism with that of neurotypical controls and showed that the autistic individuals were slowed in their speed of face discrimination.We then showed that the two groups differed in their ability to derive the global whole in two different tasks, one using hierarchical compound letters and the other using a microgenetic primed matching task with geometric shapes, with the autistic group showing a bias in favor of local information. A significant correlation was also observed between performance on the face task and the configural tasks. We then confirmed the prediction that the ability to derive the global whole is not only critical for faces but also for other objects as well, as the autistic individuals performed more slowly than the control group in discriminating between objects. Taken together, the results suggest that the bias for local processing seen in autistic individuals might have an adverse impact on their ability to process faces and objects.

description: This paper reports on liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) growth and characterization of monocrystalline dilute nitride InGaAs(Sb)N and GaAsSbN layers in view of their photovoltaic applications. To obtain high quality epitaxial layers without phase separation the low-temperature variant of the LPE method is used. The structural characterization of the samples is carried out by means of scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements. The optical bandgap is studied by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy at low and room temperature. Surface photovoltage spectroscopy (SPV) is applied to determine the optical absorption edge. Both PL and SPV spectra reveal a decrease of the band gap of GaAsSbN as compared to InGaAs(Sb)N, which is of value for its application in solar cells.

description: We estimate the present-day value of the matter density parameter ΩM by combining constraints from the galaxy cluster mass function with Croft et al.'s recent measurement of the mass power spectrum, P(k), from Lyα forest data. The key assumption of the method is that cosmic structure formed by gravitational instability from Gaussian primordial fluctuations. For a specified value of ΩM, matching the observed cluster mass function then fixes the value of σ8, the rms amplitude of mass fluctuations in 8 h-1 Mpc spheres, and it thus determines the normalization of P(k) at z = 0. The value of ΩM also determines the ratio of P(k) at z = 0 to P(k) at z = 2.5, the central redshift of the Lyα forest data; the ratio is different for an open universe (Λ = 0) or a flat universe. Because the Lyα forest measurement only reaches comoving scales 2π/k ~ 15-20 h-1 Mpc, the derived value of ΩM depends on the value of the power spectrum shape parameter Γ, which determines the relative contribution of larger scale modes to σ8. Adopting Γ = 0.2, a value favored by galaxy clustering data, we find ΩM = 0.46+0.12-0.10 for an open universe and ΩM = 0.34+0.13-0.09 for a flat universe (1 σ errors, not including the uncertainty in cluster normalization). Cluster-normalized models with ΩM = 1 predict too low an amplitude for P(k) at z = 2.5, while models with ΩM = 0.1 predict too high an amplitude. The more general best-fit parameter combination is ΩM + 0.2ΩΛ 0.46 + 1.3(Γ - 0.2), where ΩΛ ≡ Λ/3H20. Analysis of larger, existing samples of QSO spectra could greatly improve the measurement of P(k) from the Lyα forest, allowing a determination of ΩM by this method with a precision of ~15%, limited mainly by uncertainty in the cluster mass function.

description: The present study aims to understand the impact of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) on a coastal area with different lithology and degrees of SGD. Sampling campaigns took place in Puck Bay and the Gulf of Gdańsk, southern Baltic Sea encompassing years between 2009 and 2021. The methodological approach combined geophysical characterization of the surface sediments with detailed spatial and temporal (isotope) biogeochemical investigations of pore and surface waters, and was supported by nearshore groundwater and river surveys. Acoustic investigations identified areas of disturbance that may indicate zones of preferential SGD release. The composition of porewater and the differences in the bay's surface waters disclosed SGD as common phenomenon in the study area. Regional SGD was estimated through a radium mass balance. Local estimation of SGD, based on porewater profiles, revealed highest SGD fluxes at the sandy shoreline, but relatively low elemental fluxes. Though SGD was low at the muddy sites corresponding elemental fluxes of nutrients and dissolved carbon exceeded those determined at the sandy sites due to intense diagenesis in the top sediments. SGD appears to be sourced from different freshwater endmembers; however, diagenesis in surface sediments substantially modified the composition of the mixed solutions that are finally discharged to coastal waters. Overall, this study provides a better understanding of the SGD dynamics in the region by a multi-approach and emphasizes the need to understand the processes occurring at the sediment-water interface when estimating SGD.

description: Feshbach resonances in ultra-cold atomic gases have led to some of the most important advances in atomic physics. They did not only enable ground breaking work in the BEC-BCS crossover regime [1], but are also widely used for the association of ultra-cold molecules [2], leading to the formation of molecular Bose-Einstein condensates [3,4] and ultra-cold dipolar molecular systems [5]. Here, we demonstrate the experimental realization of an optical Feshbach resonance using ultra-long range Rydberg molecules [6]. We show their practical use by tuning the revival time of a quantum many-body system quenched into a deep optical lattice. Our results open up many applications for Rydberg optical Feshbach resonances as ultra-long range Rydberg molecules have a plenitude of available resonances for nearly all atomic species. Among the most intriguing prospects is the engineering of genuine three- and four-body interactions via coupling to trimer and tetramer molecular states [7].

description: Altered heart rate (HR) and heart rate variability (HRV) are common observations in psychiatric disorders. Yet, few studies have examined these cardiac measures in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The current study aimed to investigate HR and HRV, indexed by the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) and further time domain indices, as putative biological characteristics of OCD. Electrocardiogram was recorded during a five-minute resting state. Group differences between patients with OCD (n = 96), healthy participants (n = 112), and unaffected first-degree relatives of patients with OCD (n = 47) were analyzed. As potential moderators of group differences, we examined the influence of age and medication, respectively. As results indicated, patients with OCD showed higher HR and lower HRV compared to healthy participants. These group differences were not moderated by age. Importantly, subgroup analyses showed that only medicated patients displayed lower HRV compared to healthy individuals, while HR alterations were evident in unmedicated patients. Regarding unaffected first-degree relatives, group differences in HRV remained at trend level. Further, an age-moderated group differentiation showed that higher HRV distinguished relatives from healthy individuals in young adulthood, whereas at higher age lower HRV was indicative of relatives. Both the role of familial risk and medication in HRV alterations need further elucidation. Pending future studies, alterations in HR and potentially HRV might serve as useful indices to characterize the pathophysiology of OCD.

description: Implicit particle filters for data assimilation generate high-probability samples by representing each particle location as a separate function of a common reference variable. This representation requires that a certain underdetermined equation be solved for each particle and at each time an observation becomes available. We present a new implementation of implicit filters in which we find the solution of the equation via a random map. As examples, we assimilate data for a stochastically driven Lorenz system with sparse observations and for a stochastic Kuramoto-Sivashinski equation with observations that are sparse in both space and time.

description: We study a sample composed of 28 of the brightest stars in the Arches cluster. We analyze K-band spectra obtained with the integral field spectrograph SINFONI on the VLT. Atmosphere models computed with the code CMFGEN are used to derive the effective temperatures, luminosities, stellar abundances, mass loss rates and wind terminal velocities. We find that the stars in our sample are either H-rich WN7-9 stars (WN7-9h) or O supergiants, two being classified as OIf+. All stars are 2-4 Myr old. There is marginal evidence for a younger age among the most massive stars. The WN7-9h stars reach luminosities as large as 2 x 1e6 Lsun, consistent with initial masses of ~ 120 Msun. They are still quite H-rich, but show both N enhancement and C depletion. They are thus identified as core H-burning objects showing products of the CNO equilibrium at their surface. Their progenitors are most likely supergiants of spectral types earlier than O4-6 and initial masses > 60 Msun. Their winds follow a well defined modified wind momentum - luminosity relation (WLR): this is a strong indication that they are radiatively driven. Stellar abundances tend to favor a slightly super solar metallicity, at least for the lightest metals. We note however that the evolutionary models seem to under-predict the degree of N enrichment.
