Scaling laws for the largest Lyapunov exponent in long-range systems: A random matrix approach

description: We investigate the laws that rule the behavior of the largest Lyapunov exponent (LLE) in many particle systems with long range interactions. We consider as a representative system the so-called Hamiltonian alpha-XY model where the adjustable parameter alpha controls the range of the interactions of N ferromagnetic spins in a lattice of dimension d. In previous work the dependence of the LLE with the system size N, for sufficiently high energies, was established through numerical simulations. In the thermodynamic limit, the LLE becomes constant for alpha greater than d whereas it decays as an inverse power law of N for alpha smaller than d. A recent theoretical calculation based on Pettini's geometrization of the dynamics is consistent with these numerical results (M.-C. Firpo and S. Ruffo, cond-mat/0108158). Here we show that the scaling behavior can also be explained by a random matrix approach, in which the tangent mappings that define the Lyapunov exponents are modeled by random simplectic matrices drawn from a suitable ensemble.

description: Recently there has been a renewed interest in alternatives to shorten the food supply chain, allowing more direct links between producers and consumers and localizing food systems. This paper examines alternative local food chains as part of rural development and how to encourage and facilitate their growth in order to contribute to rural vitality and sustainable agriculture. It focuses on some research findings of the Bulgarian team in the project entitled “Farming transitions: Pathways towards regional sustainability of agriculture in Europe” (FarmPath), financed by the 7th FP of the EC. The innovative initiatives that define development of new alternative forms of agricultural local food supply chains, combined with nature-friendly production practices, rural tourism, traditional food production and development of the territory of three rural areas are presented and analysed. The sustainability dimensions that the alternative supply chains may lead up to in the rural regions were also drawn.

SOCIAL MEDIA SITES AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPING WRITING SKILLS OF STUDENTS IN ENGLISH LANGUGAE TEACHING
Creators: name: Abenova, Gulchexra
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The rise of social media platforms has fundamentally altered communication patterns, providing new opportunities for learning. As a tool for language development, social media holds significant potential, especially for developing written speech in English. This article explores how various social media platforms—such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and others—serve as effective tools for enhancing written language skills among learners of English. Through an examination of the dynamics of interaction, engagement, and peer feedback, the research investigates the pedagogical implications of incorporating social media into language learning. The findings suggest that social media fosters creativity, collaboration, and self-expression, offering students an environment to improve their writing abilities informally. The article also provides recommendations for educators on how to effectively utilize social media platforms as part of their language teaching strategies.

description: The occurrence of digits 1 through 9 as the leftmost nonzero digit of numbers from real-world sources is distributed unevenly according to an empirical law, known as Benford's law or the first digit law. It remains obscure why a variety of data sets generated from quite different dynamics obey this particular law. We perform a study of Benford's law from the application of the Laplace transform, and find that the logarithmic Laplace spectrum of the digital indicator function can be approximately taken as a constant. This particular constant, being exactly the Benford term, explains the prevalence of Benford's law. The slight variation from the Benford term leads to deviations from Benford's law for distributions which oscillate violently in the inverse Laplace space. We prove that the whole family of completely monotonic distributions can satisfy Benford's law within a small bound. Our study suggests that Benford's law originates from the way that we write numbers, thus should be taken as a basic mathematical knowledge.

An improved study of the structure of e+e- -> b bbar g events and limits on the anomalous chromomagnetic coupling of the b-quark

description: The structure of three-jet e+e- -> b bbar g events has been studied using hadronic Z0 decays recorded in the SLD experiment at SLAC. Three-jet final states were selected and the CCD-based vertex detector was used to identify two of the jets as b or bbar; the remaining jet in each event was tagged as the gluon jet. Distributions of the gluon energy and polar angle with respect to the electron beam were measured over the full kinematic range, and used to test the predictions of perturbative QCD. We find that beyond-leading-order QCD calculations are needed to reproduce the features seen in the data. The energy distribution is sensitive to an anomalous b chromomagnetic moment kappa at the b bbar g vertex. We measured kappa to be consistent with zero and set 95% C.L. limits on its value, -0.06 < kappa < 0.04.

description: Abstract: The TP53 genomic locus is a target of mutational events in at least half of cancers. Despite several decades of study, a full consensus on the relevance of the acquisition of p53 gain-of-function missense mutants has not been reached. Depending on cancer type, type of mutations and other unidentified factors, the relevance for tumour development and progression of the oncogenic signalling directed by p53 mutants might significantly vary, leading to inconsistent observations that have fuelled a long and fierce debate in the field. Here, we discuss how interaction with the microenvironment and stressors might dictate the gain-of-function effects exerted by individual mutants. We report evidence from the most recent literature in support of the context dependency of p53 mutant biology. This perspective article aims to raise a discussion in the field on the relevance that context might have on p53 gain-of-function mutants, assessing whether this should generally be considered a cell non-autonomous process.

description: Abstract: Elevated latent prenatal steroidogenic activity has been found in the amniotic fluid of autistic boys, based on measuring prenatal androgens and other steroid hormones. To date, it is unclear if other prenatal steroids also contribute to autism likelihood. Prenatal oestrogens need to be investigated, as they play a key role in synaptogenesis and corticogenesis during prenatal development, in both males and females. Here we test whether levels of prenatal oestriol, oestradiol, oestrone and oestrone sulphate in amniotic fluid are associated with autism, in the same Danish Historic Birth Cohort, in which prenatal androgens were measured, using univariate logistic regression (n = 98 cases, n = 177 controls). We also make a like-to-like comparison between the prenatal oestrogens and androgens. Oestradiol, oestrone, oestriol and progesterone each related to autism in univariate analyses after correction with false discovery rate. A comparison of standardised odds ratios showed that oestradiol, oestrone and progesterone had the largest effects on autism likelihood. These results for the first time show that prenatal oestrogens contribute to autism likelihood, extending the finding of elevated prenatal steroidogenic activity in autism. This likely affects sexual differentiation, brain development and function.

description: The AcerMC Monte Carlo generator gives a possibility to generate some of the Standard Model background processes which were recognised as very dangerous for the searches at LHC, and generation of which was either unavailable or not straightforward so far. The program itself provides a library of the massive matrix elements (coded by MADGRAPH) and native phase space modules for generation of a set of selected processes. The hard process event can be completed by the initial and final state radiation, hadronisation and decays through the existing interface with either PYTHIA 6.2 or HERWIG 6.3 event generators. A distinctive feature of AcerMC is the efficient phase-space sampling, achieved by a combination of multi-channel self-optimising approach and a modified ac-VEGAS routine.

description: We model the Class I source L1551 IRS 5, adopting a flattened infalling envelope surrounding a binary disk system and a circumbinary disk. With our composite model, we calculate self-consistently the spectral energy distribution of each component of the L1551 IRS 5 system, using additional constraints from recent observations by ISO, the water ice feature from observations with SpeX, the SCUBA extended spatial brightness distribution at sub-mm wavelengths, and the VLA spatial intensity distributions at 7 mm of the binary disks. We analyze the sensitivity of our results to the various parameters involved. Our results show that a flattened envelope collapse model is required to explain simultaneously the large scale fluxes and the water ice and silicate features. On the other hand, we find that the circumstellar disks are optically thick in the millimeter range and are inclined so that their outer parts hide the emission along the line of sight from their inner parts. We also find that these disks have lower mass accretion rates than the infall rate of the envelope.

description: Within a multicomponent dark matter scenario, novel gamma-ray signals may arise from the decay of the heavier dark matter component into the lighter. For a scalar dark sector of this kind, the decay $ϕ_2\rightarrowϕ_1 γ$ is forbidden by the conservation of angular momentum, but the decay $ϕ_2 \rightarrow ϕ_1 γγ$ can have a sizable or even dominant branching ratio. In this paper we present a detailed study of this decay channel. We determine the width and photon energy spectrum generated in the decay, employing an effective theory approach, and in UV complete models where the scalar dark matter components interact with heavy or light fermions. We also calculate limits on the inverse width from current data of the isotropic diffuse photon flux, both for a hierarchical and a degenerate dark matter spectrum. Finally, we briefly comment on the prospects of observing the diphoton signal from sneutrino decay in the minimal supersymmetric standard model extended with right-handed neutrino superfields ($\tildeν$MSSM).

description: Abstract: To understand brain function it is necessary to characterize both the underlying structural connectivity between neurons and the physiological integrity of these connections. Previous research exploring insect brain connectivity has typically used electron microscopy techniques, but this methodology cannot be applied to living animals and so cannot be used to understand dynamic physiological processes. The relatively large brain of the desert locust, Schistercera gregaria (Forksȧl) is ideal for exploring a novel methodology; micro diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (micro-dMRI) for the characterization of neuronal connectivity in an insect brain. The diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) data were acquired on a preclinical system using a customised multi-shell diffusion MRI scheme optimized to image the locust brain. Endogenous imaging contrasts from the averaged DWIs and Diffusion Kurtosis Imaging (DKI) scheme were applied to classify various anatomical features and diffusion patterns in neuropils, respectively. The application of micro-dMRI modelling to the locust brain provides a novel means of identifying anatomical regions and inferring connectivity of large tracts in an insect brain. Furthermore, quantitative imaging indices derived from the kurtosis model that include fractional anisotropy (FA), mean diffusivity (MD) and kurtosis anisotropy (KA) can be extracted. These metrics could, in future, be used to quantify longitudinal structural changes in the nervous system of the locust brain that occur due to environmental stressors or ageing.

description: Although the gender gap in non-compulsory science attracts much attention, few studies compare factors that shape it at subsequent life stages. Here, a life-course approach is used to examine the gender gap in science career expectations at ages 16, 23 and 26 for a recent student cohort. Then, a decomposition is applied to assess what share of the gender gap in Year 12 science, university science and post-university employment depends on earlier expectations to pursue a science career. The data, collected between 2006 and 2016, come from the population-representative Longitudinal Survey of Australian Youth, initiated with the Australian sample of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). Pathways into two science domains are contrasted. The first is biological and health sciences (BAH), the second entails computing, engineering, physics and mathematical sciences (CEM). The gender gap in occupational plans to work in science is widest in adolescence before stabilising in young adulthood. Yet, adolescence is also a life stage at which science is most popular as a potential career. Prior to university entry, up to one third of the gender gap in science can be attributed to individual motivation or characteristics. What can be explained, depends predominantly on occupational goals.

description: The multinucleon transfer reaction in the collisions of $^{40}$Ca+$^{124}$Sn at $E_{\textrm{c.m.}}=128.5$ MeV is investigated by using the improved quantum molecular dynamics model. The measured angular distributions and isotopic distributions of the products are reproduced reasonably well by the calculations. The multinucleon transfer reactions of $^{40}$Ca+$^{112}$Sn, $^{58}$Ni+$^{112}$Sn, $^{106}$Cd+$^{112}$Sn, and $^{48}$Ca+$^{112}$Sn are also studied. It shows that the combinations of neutron-deficient projectile and target are advantageous to produce the exotic neutron-deficient nuclei near $N, Z$ = 50. The charged particles emission plays an important role at small impact parameters in the deexcitation processes of the system. The production cross sections of the exotic neutron-deficient nuclei in multinucleon transfer reactions are much larger than those measured in the fragmentation and fusion-evaporation reactions. Several new neutron-deficient nuclei can be produced in $^{106}$Cd+$^{112}$Sn reaction. The corresponding production cross sections for the new neutron-deficient nuclei, $^{101,102}$Sb, $^{103}$Te, and $^{106,107}$I, are 2.0 nb, 4.1 nb, 6.5 nb, 0.4 $μ$b and 1.0 $μ$b, respectively.

description: 2,2-bis(chloromethyl) trimethylene bis[bis(2-chloroethyl) phosphate] (V6) has been widely used as an additive in a variety of plastics due to its extremely low toxicity. However, we showed in the study that once mixed with nanopolystyrene particles (NPs), the nontoxic V6 could exhibit significant toxicity to HeLa cells. The enhanced toxicity was much higher than the toxicity of NPs alone and was related to the size of NPs. The mixture of V6 and small polystyrene NPs (10 nm and 15 nm in radius) showed obvious toxicity to HeLa cells. The toxicity increased with the concentrations of both V6 and NPs. On the contrary, the mixture of V6 and larger NPs (25 nm, 50 nm, 100 nm, and 500 nm in radius) showed almost no toxicity even at extremely high concentrations (NPs: 100 mg/L; V6: 50 mg/L). The small NPs could enter the cells and accumulated in cytoplasm. However, the larger NPs did not distribute inside the cells. NPs efficiently adsorbed V6 on the surface. The mechanism of the enhanced toxicity was attributed to the increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and the regulation of gene expression concerning apoptosis and ROS scavenging. Our study not only showed that a safe chemical V6 could be turned to be toxic by NPs, but also pointed out a potential risk caused by the joint toxicity of ‘safe’ chemicals and plastic particles with small size.

Entanglement in Higher-Radix Quantum Systems

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

description: Entanglement is an important phenomenon that enables quantum information processing algorithms and quantum communications protocols. Although entangled quantum states are often described in radix-2, higher-radix qudits can become entangled as well. In this work, we both introduce partial entanglement, a concept that does not exist for radix-2 quantum systems, and differentiate between partial and maximal entanglement within non-binary quantum information processing systems. We also develop and present higher-radix maximal entanglement generator circuits that are analogous to the well-known Bell state generator for binary quantum systems. Because higher-dimensioned qudits can be subjected to entangling processes that result in either partially or maximally entangled states, we demonstrate how higher-radix qudit circuits can be composed to generate these varying degrees of partial quantum entanglement. Theoretical results are provided for the general case where the radix is greater than two, and specific results based on a pair of radix-4 qudits are described.

Exploiting numerical results of these programs and cross-checks with experimental fitting procedures, we estimate that the theoretical uncertainty of the value of λdue to electroweak corrections, as obtained at LEP2 with the help of these programs, is ~0.005, about half of the expected experimental error for the combined LEP2 experiments (~0.010). We use certain idealized event selections; however, we argue that these results are valid for realistic LEP2 measurements.

description: We study the most recently observed excited $B_{c}$ states with the Dyson-Schwinger equation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation approach of continuum QCD. The obtained $M_{B^+_{c}(2S)}=6.813(16)\text{GeV}$, $M_{B^{*+}_{c}(2S)}=6.841(18)\text{GeV}$ and the mass splitting $M_{B_c^+(2S)}-M^{\text{rec}}_{B_c^{*+}(2S)} \approx 0.039 \text{GeV}$ agree with the observations very well. Moreover we predict the leptonic decay constant $f_{B^+_{c}(2S)}=-0.165(10)\text{GeV}$, $f_{B^{*+}_{c}(2S)}=-0.161(7)\text{GeV}$ respectively.

Varying time step-based approach
Large-scale simulation

description: Abstract: Coupling activity-based models with dynamic traffic assignment appears to form a promising approach to investigating travel demand. However, such an integrated framework is generally time-consuming, especially for large-scale scenarios. This paper attempts to improve the performance of these kinds of integrated frameworks through some simple adjustments using MATSim as an example. We focus on two specific areas of the model—replanning and time stepping. In the first case we adjust the scoring system for agents to use in assessing their travel plans to include only agents with low plan scores, rather than selecting agents at random, as is the case in the current model. Secondly, we vary the model time step to account for network loading in the execution module of MATSim. The city of Baoding, China is used as a case study. The performance of the proposed methods was assessed through comparison between the improved and original MATSim, calibrated using Cadyts. The results suggest that the first solution can significantly decrease the computing time at the cost of slight increase of model error, but the second solution makes the improved MATSim outperform the original one, both in terms of computing time and model accuracy; Integrating all new proposed methods takes still less computing time and obtains relatively accurate outcomes, compared with those only incorporating one new method.

description: Non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) minimizes the Euclidean distance between the data matrix and its low rank approximation, and it fails when applied to corrupted data because the loss function is sensitive to outliers. In this paper, we propose a Truncated CauchyNMF loss that handle outliers by truncating large errors, and develop a Truncated CauchyNMF to robustly learn the subspace on noisy datasets contaminated by outliers. We theoretically analyze the robustness of Truncated CauchyNMF comparing with the competing models and theoretically prove that Truncated CauchyNMF has a generalization bound which converges at a rate of order $O(\sqrt{{\ln n}/{n}})$, where $n$ is the sample size. We evaluate Truncated CauchyNMF by image clustering on both simulated and real datasets. The experimental results on the datasets containing gross corruptions validate the effectiveness and robustness of Truncated CauchyNMF for learning robust subspaces.

description: Abstract: Background: We describe temporal trends in breast cancer incidence by molecular subtypes in Scotland because public health prevention programmes, diagnostic and therapeutic services are shaped by differences in tumour biology. Methods: Population-based cancer registry data on 72,217 women diagnosed with incident primary breast cancer from 1997 to 2016 were analysed. Age-standardised rates (ASR) and age-specific incidence were estimated by tumour subtype after imputing the 8% of missing oestrogen receptor (ER) status. Joinpoint regression and age–period–cohort models were used to assess whether significant differences were observed in incidence trends by ER status. Results: Overall, ER-positive tumour incidence increased by 0.4%/year (95% confidence interval (CI): −0.1, 1.0). Among routinely screened women aged 50–69 years, we observed an increase in ASR from 1997 to 2011 (1.6%/year, 95% CI: 1.2–2.1). ER-negative tumour incidence decreased among all ages by 2.5%/year (95% CI: −3.9 to −1.1%) over the study period. Compared with the 1941–1959 birth cohort, women born in 1912–1940 had lower incidence rate ratios (IRR) for ER+ tumours and women born in 1960–1986 had lower IRR for ER− tumours. Conclusions: Future incidence and survival reporting should be monitored by molecular subtypes to inform clinical planning and cancer control programmes.

description: Most people are risk-averse (risk-seeking) when they expect to gain (lose). Based on a generalization of ``expected utility theory'' which takes this into account, we introduce an automaton mimicking the dynamics of economic operations. Each operator is characterized by a parameter q which gauges people's attitude under risky choices; this index q is in fact the entropic one which plays a central role in nonextensive statistical mechanics. Different long term patterns of average asset redistribution are observed according to the distribution of parameter q (chosen once for ever for each operator) and the rules (e.g., the probabilities involved in the gamble and the indebtedness restrictions) governing the values that are exchanged in the transactions. Analytical and numerical results are discussed in terms of how the sensitivity to risk affects the dynamics of economic transactions.

description: In this work, we present a new dataset to advance the state-of-the-art in fruit detection, segmentation, and counting in orchard environments. While there has been significant recent interest in solving these problems, the lack of a unified dataset has made it difficult to compare results. We hope to enable direct comparisons by providing a large variety of high-resolution images acquired in orchards, together with human annotations of the fruit on trees. The fruits are labeled using polygonal masks for each object instance to aid in precise object detection, localization, and segmentation. Additionally, we provide data for patch-based counting of clustered fruits. Our dataset contains over 41, 000 annotated object instances in 1000 images. We present a detailed overview of the dataset together with baseline performance analysis for bounding box detection, segmentation, and fruit counting as well as representative results for yield estimation. We make this dataset publicly available and host a CodaLab challenge to encourage comparison of results on a common dataset.

description: Abstract: Recent developments in stem cell biology have enabled the study of cell fate decisions in early human development that are impossible to study in vivo. However, understanding how development varies across individuals and, in particular, the influence of common genetic variants during this process has not been characterised. Here, we exploit human iPS cell lines from 125 donors, a pooled experimental design, and single-cell RNA-sequencing to study population variation of endoderm differentiation. We identify molecular markers that are predictive of differentiation efficiency of individual lines, and utilise heterogeneity in the genetic background across individuals to map hundreds of expression quantitative trait loci that influence expression dynamically during differentiation and across cellular contexts.

description: This paper examines the competitiveness of the soybean processing industry. A model of multinational firms with scale economies is specified. An index of the way in which firms compete (conjectural variations) is included and the model is calibrated to market data to estimate the competitiveness of the industry. The results imply that despite its oligopolistic structure, the soybean processing sector may be fairly price competitive. This result is shown to be robust to changes in elasticities of demand in meal and oil, the soybean supply elasticity, and the number of multinational firms. However, it is sensitive to changes in the processing profit margin.
