description: The AdS/CFT correspondence between string theory in AdS space and conformal field theories in physical space-time leads to an analytic, semi-classical model for strongly-coupled QCD which has scale invariance and dimensional counting at short distances and color confinement at large distances. One can use holography to map the amplitude describing the hadronic state in the fifth dimension of Anti-de Sitter space to the light-front wavefunctions of hadrons in physical space-time, thus providing a relativistic description of hadrons in QCD at the amplitude level. In particular, we show that there is an exact correspondence between the fifth-dimensional coordinate of AdS space z and a specific impact variable zeta which measures the separation of the quark and gluonic constituents within the hadron in ordinary space-time. New relativistic light-front equations in ordinary space-time can then be derived which reproduce the results obtained using the 5-dimensional theory. The effective light-front equations possess elegant algebraic structures and integrability properties. This connection between the AdS and the light-front representations allows one to compute the analytic form of the frame-independent light-front wavefunctions, the fundamental entities which encode hadron properties and allow the computation of decay constants, form factors, deeply virtual Compton scattering, exclusive heavy hadron decays and other exclusive scattering amplitudes. As specific examples we compute the pion coupling constant and study the behavior of the pion form factor in the space and time-like regions. We also determine the Dirac form factors of the proton and neutron in the space-like region.

description: Context: Resistive Ohmic dissipation has been suggested as a mechanism for heating the solar chromosphere, but few studies have established this association. Aim: We aim to determine how Ohmic dissipation by electric currents can heat the solar chromosphere. Methods: We combine high-resolution spectroscopic Ca II data from the Dunn Solar Telescope and vector magnetic field observations from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) to investigate thermal enhancements in a sunspot light bridge. The photospheric magnetic field from HMI was extrapolated to the corona using a non-force-free field technique that provided the three-dimensional distribution of electric currents, while an inversion of the chromospheric Ca II line with a local thermodynamic equilibrium and a nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium spectral archive delivered the temperature stratifications from the photosphere to the chromosphere. Results: We find that the light bridge is a site of strong electric currents, of about 0.3 A/m^2 at the bottom boundary, which extend to about 0.7 Mm while decreasing monotonically with height. These currents produce a chromospheric temperature excess of about 600-800 K relative to the umbra. Only the light bridge, where relatively weak and highly inclined magnetic fields emerge over a duration of 13 hr, shows a spatial coincidence of thermal enhancements and electric currents. The temperature enhancements and the Cowling heating are primarily confined to a height range of 0.4-0.7 Mm above the light bridge. The corresponding increase in internal energy of 200 J/m^3 can be supplied by the heating in about 10 min. Conclusions: Our results provide direct evidence for currents heating the lower solar chromosphere through Ohmic dissipation.

Language Models at the Syntax-Semantics Interface: A Case Study of the Long-Distance Binding of Chinese Reflexive ziji
Creators: name: Yang, Xiulin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2025
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper explores whether language models can effectively resolve the complex binding patterns of the Mandarin Chinese reflexive ziji, which are constrained by both syntactic and semantic factors. We construct a dataset of 240 synthetic sentences using templates and examples from syntactic literature, along with 320 natural sentences from the BCC corpus. Evaluating 21 language models against this dataset and comparing their performance to judgments from native Mandarin speakers, we find that none of the models consistently replicates human-like judgments. The results indicate that existing language models tend to rely heavily on sequential cues, though not always favoring the closest strings, and often overlooking subtle semantic and syntactic constraints. They tend to be more sensitive to noun-related than verb-related semantics.

description: Item Response Theory (IRT) models have received growing interest in health science for analyzing latent constructs such as depression, anxiety, quality of life, or cognitive functioning from the information provided by each individual's items responses. However, in the presence of repeated item measures, IRT methods usually assume that the measurement occasions are made at the exact same time for all patients. In this paper, we show how the IRT methodology can be combined with the mixed model theory to provide a longitudinal IRT model which exploits the information of a measurement scale provided at the item level while simultaneously handling observation times that may vary across individuals and items. The latent construct is a latent process defined in continuous time that is linked to the observed item responses through a measurement model at each individual- and occasion-specific observation time; we focus here on a Graded Response Model for binary and ordinal items. The Maximum Likelihood Estimation procedure of the model is available in the R package lcmm. The proposed approach is contextualized in a clinical example in end-stage renal disease, the PREDIALA study. The objective is to study the trajectories of depressive symptomatology (as measured by 7 items of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale) according to the time from registration on the renal transplant waiting list and the renal replacement therapy. We also illustrate how the method can be used to assess Differential Item Functioning and lack of measurement invariance over time.
Covariant higher order perturbations of branes in curved spacetime

description: The treatment of higher order perturbations of branes is considered using a covariant variational approach. This covariant variational approach brings to the forefront the geometric structure of the underlying perturbation theory, as opposed to a more commonly used `direct approach', that ignores the variational origin. In addition, it offers a clear calculational advantage with respect to so called `gauge fixed' treatments that distinguish tangential and normal modes, as it emphasizes the symmetries of the geometric models that describe the brane dynamics. We restrict our attention to a brane action that depends at most on first derivatives of the embedding functions of the worldvolume spanned by the brane in its evolution. We consider first and second variations of the action that describes the brane dynamics. The first variation produces the equations of motion, as is well known. In the second variation we derive the Jacobi equations for these kind of models, and we emphasize the role of the Hessian matrix. This is extended to third order in variations, first in a flat and then in a curved spacetime background. Further, we specialize to the relevant case of the Dirac-Nambu-Goto action that describes extremal branes. The proper setting of a covariant variational approach allows to go in principle to geometric models that depend on higher derivatives of the embedding functions, and higher order perturbations, with the due complications involved, but with a solid framework in place.

On the laws of the iterated logarithm under the sub-linear expectations without the assumption on the continuity of capacities

description: In this paper, we establish some general forms of the law of the iterated logarithm for independent random variables in a sub-linear expectation space, where the random variables are not necessarily identically distributed. Exponential inequalities for the maximum sum of independent random variables and Kolmogorov's converse exponential inequalities are established as tools for showing the law of the iterated logarithm. As an application, the sufficient and necessary conditions of the law of iterated logarithm for independent and identically distributed random variables under the sub-linear expectation are obtained. In the paper, it is also shown that if the sub-linear expectation space is rich and regular enough, it will have no continuous capacity. The laws of the iterated logarithm are established without the assumption on the continuity of capacities. This revision fills a gap in the proof of Proposition 4.2 of arXiv:2103.01390 under an additional assumption.

description: Intrinsic magnetic topological insulators provide an ideal platform to achieve various exciting physical phenomena. However, this kind of materials and related research are still very rare. In this work, we reported the electronic and structural phase transitions in intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnSb2Te4 driven by hydrostatic pressure. Electric transport results revealed that temperature dependent resistance showed a minimum value near short-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering temperature TN', the TN' values decline with pressure, and the AFM ordering was strongly suppressed near 10 GPa and was not visible above 11.5 GPa. The intensity of three Raman vibration modes in MnSb2Te4 declined quickly starting from 7.5 GPa and these modes become undetectable above 9 GPa, suggesting possible insulator-metal transition, which is further confirmed by theoretical calculation. In situ x-ray diffraction (XRD) demonstrated that an extra diffraction peak appears near 9.1 GPa and MnSb2Te4 started to enter an amorphous-like state above 16.6 GPa, suggesting the structural origin of suppressed AFM ordering and metallization. This work has demonstrated the correlation among interlayer interaction, magnetic ordering, and electric behavior, which could be benefit for the understanding of the fundamental properties of this kind of materials and devices.

description: In this paper we prove, with details and in full generality, that the isomorphism induced on tangent homology by the Shoikhet-Tsygan formality $L_\infty$-quasi-isomorphism for Hochschild chains is compatible with cap-products. This is a homological analog of the compatibility with cup-products of the isomorphism induced on tangent cohomology by Kontsevich formality $L_\infty$-quasi-isomorphism for Hochschild cochains. As in the cohomological situation our proof relies on a homotopy argument involving a variant of {\bf Kontsevich eye}. In particular we clarify the rôle played by the {\bf I-cube} introduced in \cite{CR1}. Since we treat here the case of a most possibly general Maurer-Cartan element, not forced to be a bidifferential operator, then we take this opportunity to recall the natural algebraic structures on the pair of Hochschild cochain and chain complexes of an $A_\infty$-algebra. In particular we prove that they naturally inherit the structure of an $A_\infty$-algebra with an $A_\infty$-(bi)module.

Digital signal processing of UHF radio echo sounding data from northern Ellesmere Island
Creators: name: Prager, Bradley Thomas
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis is a preliminary attempt to apply digital signal processing techniques to ice radar data. Seismic processing inspired many of the techniques: linear filtering, differentiating, automatic gain control, and stacking. The processing is designed to enhance the radar section by reducing noise and increasing the amplitude of small reflections, making reflections easier to locate. Once reflections have been located, ice thickness and reflector properties can be interpreted from the data. Ice thickness and power reflection coefficient (PRC) can always be obtained; if the depth to the reflector undergoes a sufficiently large change, the propagation loss rate of the ice can also be calculated. The processing and interpretation techniques are applied to ice radar data from a 1981 survey on northern Ellesmere Island. Ice thickness, PRC, and propagation loss rate for the following areas are calculated: Milne and Disraeli Glaciers, Milne and Ward Hunt Ice Shelves, and a small ice cap surrounding Mt. Oxford. The glaciers have a maximum thickness exceeding 700 m, a basal PRC of about -30 dB, and a typical propagation loss rate of 0.025 dB/m (at 840 MHz). The thinner ice areas of the Milne and Ward Hunt Ice Shelves produce either no basal reflection or only a faint reflection; this is taken to indicate basal accretion of brackish ice or brine soaking, produced by meltwater flowing out from the fiords underneath the ice shelves.

description: Stars in the narrow mass range of about 2.5 and 3.5 solar masses can develop a thermally unstable He-burning shell during its ignition phase. We study, from the point of view secular stability theory, these so called thermal micropulses and we investigate their properties; the thermal pulses constitute a convenient conceptual laboratory to look thoroughly into the physical properties of a helium-burning shell during the whole thermally pulsing episode. Linear stability analyses were performed on a large number of 3 solar-mass star models at around the end of their core helium-burning and the beginning of the double-shell burning phase. The stellar models were not assumed to be in thermal equilibrium. The thermal mircopulses, and we conjecture all other thermal pulse episodes encountered by shell-burning stars, can be understood as the nonlinear finite-amplitude realization of an oscillatory secular instability that prevails during the whole thermal pulsing episode. Hence, the cyclic nature of the thermal pulses can be traced back to a linear instability concept.

We also identify the clusters of nodes responsible for the structure of their containing network.

The consequent reduction in quasiparticle density causes a lower rate of quasiparticle tunneling onto the device. This rate is directly measured by radio-frequency reflectometry. Local cooling may be of direct benefit in reducing the effect of quasiparticles on coherent superconducting nanostructures.

description: This thesis explores several aspects of the Australian pharmacist workforce to support better integration and possible role expansion of community pharmacists in primary care. Firstly, it investigates the reasons why community pharmacists have not been better integrated into the Australian primary healthcare system to date. The preferences of community pharmacists for an expanded role in primary care are then explored, alongside policy implications of employment decisions, such as the likely effect on the geographic distribution of the workforce. As part of this analysis, a less burdensome way of asking about employment preferences is trialled. Lastly, the thesis explores the relationship between different roles in pharmacy and job satisfaction.

description: Biological systems, their physical structure and their functions, are built, maintained, and controlled by the activity of enzymes. Understanding how enzymes contribute to the regulation of various pathways and processes allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the entirety of the biological system. As changes in enzyme activity are often essential for the pathogenesis of multiple and varied diseases, identifying these changes represents a crucial step to both understanding the disease and preventing its progression within the individual. Enzymes’ functional output can be controlled by numerous different mechanisms, including control of transcription and translation, subcellular localisation, co-factor interactions, or chemical modification to specific amino acids. Activity-based protein profiling allows the potential for activity of target enzymes to be measured, thereby gaining a more accurate representation of the functional state of the biological system. In this work, profiling differential enzyme activity allows the discovery of previously unknown links between metabolic regulatory enzymes and infection by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). The novel probe wortmannin-yne is described and is shown to be able to report on the activity multiple kinases, including MAPK1, whose activity is dysregulated during HCV replication. Novel probes designed to target a smaller selection of kinases, phosphatidylinositol kinases, are reported and are shown to be capable of measuring HCV-induced changes to not only kinase activity but also regulatory protein-protein interactions with the phosphoinositide kinases. Lastly, the role of microRNA-27b in the HCV-induced dysregulation of lipid metabolic enzymes is examined. Three novel targets of microRNA-27b are identified, and their dysregulation is shown to have an effect on the life cycle of HCV. Altogether, this work has developed new tools for the study of metabolic enzymes and identified new avenues of investigation into the dysregulation of lipid metabolism.

description: Two-body dissipation usually gives rise to a complex interaction. Here, we study the effect of two-body dissipation on few-body physics, including the fundamental two-body effective scattering and the three-body Efimov physics. By employing a two-channel model that incorporates the decay of closed-channel molecules (generating the two-body dissipation), we explicitly relate the real and imaginary part of the inverse scattering length (a_s^{-1}) to closed-channel detuning and decay rate. In particular, we show that the imaginary part of a_s^{-1} is given by the product of the molecule decay rate and the effective range. Such complex scattering length is found to generate an additional imaginary Coulomb potential when three atoms come close to each other, thereby suppressing the formation of trimer bound states and modifying the conventional discrete scaling in Efimov physics.

description: Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) have become a popular tool for computational analysis of biological data in a variety of domains. But, what exactly are they and how do they work? How can we use PGMs to discover patterns that are biologically relevant? And to what extent can PGMs help us formulate new hypotheses that are testable at the bench? This note sketches out some answers and illustrates the main ideas behind the statistical approach to biological pattern discovery.

Plane-wave decomposition and reconstruction of spherical-wave seismograms as a linear inverse problem
Creators: name: Cabrera, Jose Julian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The plane-wave decomposition of the vertical displacement component of the spherical-wave field corresponding to a compressional point source is solved as a set of inverse problems. The solution utilizes the power and stability of the Backus & Gilbert (smallest and flattest) model-construction techniques, and achieves computational efficiency through the use of analytical solutions of the integrals which are involved. The theory and algorithms developed in this work allow stable and efficient reconstruction of the spherical-wave field from a relatively sparse set of their plane-wave components. However, the algorithms do not formally conserve the correct amplitudes of the seismograms. Comparison of the algorithms with direct integration of the Hankel transform shows very little or no advantage for the transformation from the time-distance (t-x) domain to the delay time - angle of emergence (τ-γ) domain if the seismograms are equi-sampled spatially. However, for cases where the observed seismograms are not equally spaced and for the transformation τ-γto t-x, the proposed schemes are superior to the direct integration of the Hankel transform. Applicability of the algorithms to reflection seismology is demonstrated via the solution to the problem of trace interpolation and that of separation of converted S modes from other modes presented in common-source gathers. In both cases the application of the algorithms to a set of synthetic reflection seismograms yields satisfactory results.

description: Additional file 1: Table S1: Comparison between methods on correctly detecting false associations. We computed the fraction (in percentage) of correctly detected false associations for each of the 1000 simulated datasets. There are only few edges that are detected by only one approach (first four rows). The most prominent groupings are highlighted in grey, e.g., SP, OL, and II agree on average on a third of edges. Less prominent groupings are aggregated with others. Table S2: Performance of environmentally-driven edge detection methods on simulated networks These include 50 microorganisms and 1225 possible associations. Values display median (standard deviation) for simulated networks and simulated networks incorporating noise. Combi refers to intersection combination of all four methods. The methods with highest or lowest median, respectively, are indicated with an asterisk. Table S3 Number of triplets an microbial edge is part of in the BBMO network. SP and OL not listed below because they remove 100% of microbial associations that are within at least one triplet. Table S4 The BBMO network based on real data It contained bacteria and eukaryotes from the picoplankton and nanoplankton. This table summarizes the number and fractions of microbial associations classified by EnDED as environmentally-driven. Combi refers to the intersection combination of all four methods, II to Interaction Information, and DPI to Data Processing Inequality. Both methods, sign Pattern and Overlap, are not shown because both remove all microbial edges found in at least one triplet. For example, 349 (14.9%) associations between bacteria from the picoplankton with eukaryotes from the nanoplankton were classified by intersection combination as environmentally-driven (indirect), II classified 30.6% and DPI 37.2% as environmentally-driven.

description: The best laboratory constraints on strongly coupled chameleon fields come not from tests of gravity per se but from precision measurements of the Casimir force. The chameleonic force between two nearby bodies is more akin to a Casimir-like force than a gravitational one: The chameleon force behaves as an inverse power of the distance of separation between the surfaces of two bodies, just as the Casimir force does. Additionally, experimental tests of gravity often employ a thin metallic sheet to shield electrostatic forces, however this sheet mask any detectable signal due to the presence of a strongly coupled chameleon field. As a result of this shielding, experiments that are designed to specifically test the behaviour of gravity are often unable to place any constraint on chameleon fields with a strong coupling to matter. Casimir force measurements do not employ a physical electrostatic shield and as such are able to put tighter constraints on the properties of chameleons fields with a strong matter coupling than tests of gravity. Motivated by this, we perform a full investigation on the possibility of testing chameleon model with both present and future Casimir experiments. We find that present days measurements are not able to detect the chameleon. However, future experiments have a strong possibility of detecting or rule out a whole class of chameleon models.

Cosmic Microwave Background Anisotropy from Nonlinear Structures in Accelerating Universes

description: We study the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy due to spherically symmetric nonlinear structures in flat universes with dust and a cosmological constant. By modeling a time-evolving spherical compensated void/lump by Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi spacetimes, we numerically solve the null geodesic equations with the Einstein equations. We find that a nonlinear void redshifts the CMB photons that pass through it regardless of the distance to it. In contrast, a nonlinear lump blueshifts (or redshifts) the CMB photons if it is located near (or sufficiently far from) us. The present analysis comprehensively covers previous works based on a thin-shell approximation and a linear/second order perturbation method and the effects of shell thickness and full nonlinearity. Our results indicate that, if quasi-linear and large ($>100$Mpc) voids/lumps would exist, they could be observed as cold or hot spots with temperature variance $>10^{-5}$K in the CMB sky.

Disappearing cosmological constant in f(R) gravity

description: For higher-derivative f(R) gravity where R is the Ricci scalar, a class of models is proposed which produce viable cosmology different from the LambdaCDM one at recent times and satisfy cosmological, Solar system and laboratory tests. These models have both flat and de Sitter space-times as particular solutions in the absence of matter. Thus, a cosmological constant is zero in flat space-time, but appears effectively in a curved one for sufficiently large R. A 'smoking gun' for these models would be small discrepancy in values of the slope of the primordial perturbation power spectrum determined from galaxy surveys and CMB fluctuations. On the other hand, a new problem for dark energy models based on f(R) gravity is pointed which is connected with possible overproduction of new massive scalar particles (scalarons) arising in this theory in the very early Universe.

Adding flavor on the Higgs branch

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the holographic dual of the Higgs branch of N=4 SYM in four dimensions coupled to quenched fundamental matter. The fundamentals are added via flavor D7-branes and the Higgs phase is obtained when the color D3-branes and the flavor D7-branes recombine with each other. The holographic dual consists of D7-brane probes in the background generated by the color D3-branes. In this supergravity dual the Higgs phase is realized by switching on a selfdual field strength on the worldvolume of the D7-branes. A complementary microscopic description in terms of dielectric D3-branes is also possible. This microscopic approach permits a better matching with the dual field theory analysis. Finally, the meson mass spectrum is computed by studying the fluctuations of the flavor D7-branes.

The spectrum of marginally-deformed ${\cal N} = 2$ CFTs with AdS$_4$ S-fold duals of type IIB

description: A holographic duality was recently established between an ${\cal N} =4$ non-geometric AdS$_4$ solution of type IIB supergravity in the so-called S-fold class, and a three-dimensional conformal field theory (CFT) defined as a limit of ${\cal N} =4$ super-Yang-Mills at an interface. Using gauged supergravity, the ${\cal N} =2$ conformal manifold (CM) of this CFT has been assessed to be two-dimensional. Here, we holographically characterise the large-$N$ operator spectrum of the marginally-deformed CFT. We do this by, firstly, providing the algebraic structure of the complete Kaluza-Klein (KK) spectrum on the associated two-parameter family of AdS$_4$ solutions. And, secondly, by computing the ${\cal N} =2$ supermultiplet dimensions at the first few KK levels on a lattice in the CM, using new exceptional field theory techniques. Our KK analysis also allows us to establish that, at least at large $N$, this ${\cal N} =2$ CM is topologically a non-compact cylindrical Riemann surface bounded on only one side.
