Nikishin systems on star-like sets: Ratio asymptotics of the associated multiple orthogonal polynomials

description: We investigate the ratio asymptotic behavior of the sequence $(Q_{n})_{n=0}^{\infty}$ of multiple orthogonal polynomials associated with a Nikishin system of $p\geq 1$ measures that are compactly supported on the star-like set of $p+1$ rays $S_{+}=\{z\in\mathbb{C}: z^{p+1}\geq 0\}$. The main algebraic property of these polynomials is that they satisfy a three-term recurrence relation of the form $zQ_{n}(z)=Q_{n+1}(z)+a_{n} Q_{n-p}(z)$ with $a_{n}>0$ for all $n\geq p$. Under a Rakhmanov-type condition on the measures generating the Nikishin system, we prove that the sequence of ratios $Q_{n+1}(z)/Q_{n}(z)$ and the sequence $a_{n}$ of recurrence coefficients are limit periodic with period $p(p+1)$. Our results complement some results obtained by the first author and Miña-Díaz in a recent paper in which algebraic properties and weak asymptotics of these polynomials were investigated. Our results also extend some results obtained by the first author in the case $p=2$.

description: Construction of artificial cells requires the development of straightforward methods for mimicking natural phospholipid membrane formation. Here we describe the use of direct aminolysis ligations to spontaneously generate biomimetic phospholipid membranes from water-soluble starting materials. Additionally, we explore the suitability of such biomimetic approaches for driving the in situ formation of native phospholipid membranes. Our studies suggest that non-enzymatic ligation reactions could have been important for the synthesis of phospholipid-like membranes during the origin of life, and might be harnessed as simplified methods to enable the generation of lipid compartments in artificial cells.

description: This paper addresses the stability and $\ell^2$-gain analysis of adaptive control systems with event-triggered try-once-discard protocols. At every sampling time, an event trigger evaluates an error between the current value and the last released value of each measurement and determines whether to transmit the measurements and which measurements to transmit, based on the try-once-discard protocol and given lower and upper thresholds. For gain-scheduling controllers and switching controllers that are adaptive to the maximum error of the measurements, we obtain sufficient conditions for the practical stability and upper bounds on the $\ell^2$-gain of the closed-loop system.

description: The main results of our work is determining the differences between limiting properties in various models of quantum stochastic walks. In particular, we prove that in the case of strongly connected and a class of weakly connected directed graphs, local environment interaction evolution is relaxing, and in the case of undirected graphs, global environment interaction evolution is convergent. For other classes of directed graphs we show, that the character of connectivity large influence on the limiting properties. We also study the limiting properties for the non-moralizing global interaction case. We demonstrate that the digraph observance is recovered in this case.

description: Cosmic ray (CR) physics has entered a precision-driven era. With the latest AMS-02 nuclei data (boron-to-carbon ratio, proton flux, helium flux and antiproton-to-proton ratio), we perform a global fitting and constrain the primary source and propagation parameters of cosmic rays in the Milky Way by considering 3 schemes with different data sets (with and without $\bar{\mathrm{p}}/\mathrm{p}$ data) and different propagation models (diffusion-reacceleration and diffusion-reacceleration-convection models). We find that the data set with $\bar{\mathrm{p}}/\mathrm{p}$ data can remove the degeneracy between the propagation parameters effectively and it favors the model with a very small value of convection (or disfavors the model with convection). The separated injection spectrum parameters are used for proton and other nucleus species, which reveal the different breaks and slopes among them. Moreover, the helium abundance, antiproton production cross sections and solar modulation are parametrized in our global fitting. Benefited from the self-consistence of the new data set, the fitting results show a little bias, and thus the disadvantages and limitations of the existed propagation models appear. Comparing to the best fit results for the local interstellar spectra ($ϕ= 0$) with the VOYAGER-1 data, we find that the primary sources or propagation mechanisms should be different between proton and helium (or other heavier nucleus species). Thus, how to explain these results properly is an interesting and challenging question.

description: We continue the study of glider representations of finite groups $G$ with given structure chain of subgroups $e \subset G_1 \subset \ldots \subset G_d = G$. We give a characterization of irreducible gliders of essential length $e \leq d$ which in the case of $p$-groups allows to prove some results about classical representation theory. The paper also contains an introduction to generalized character theory for glider representations and an extension of the decomposition groups in the Clifford theory. Furthermore, we study irreducible glider representations for finite nilpotent groups.

description: In this paper we consider the three-dimensional Schrödinger operator with a $δ$-interaction of strength $α> 0$ supported on an unbounded surface parametrized by the mapping $\mathbb{R}^2\ni x\mapsto (x,βf(x))$, where $β\in [0,\infty)$ and $f\colon \mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, $f\not\equiv 0$, is a $C^2$-smooth, compactly supported function. The surface supporting the interaction can be viewed as a local deformation of the plane. It is known that the essential spectrum of this Schrödinger operator coincides with $[-\frac14α^2,+\infty)$. We prove that for all sufficiently small $β> 0$ its discrete spectrum is non-empty and consists of a unique simple eigenvalue. Moreover, we obtain an asymptotic expansion of this eigenvalue in the limit $β\rightarrow 0+$. In particular, this eigenvalue tends to $-\frac14α^2$ exponentially fast as $β\rightarrow 0+$.

description: In this paper, we would like to obtain quantum gravity effects by using Hořava-Lifshitz black hole. We consider logarithmic corrected thermodynamics quantities and investigate the effects of logarithmic correction term. Logarithmic correction comes from thermal fluctuation and may be interpreted as quantum loop corrections. As black hole is a gravitational system, hence we can investigate quantum gravity effect. We find such effects on the black hole stability and obtain domain of correction coefficient.

description: Detection of subtle deficits in everyday functioning due to cognitive impairment is important for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease. However, current standards for assessment of everyday functioning are based on qualitative, subjective ratings. Speech has been shown to provide good objective markers for cognitive impairments, but the association with cognition-relevant everyday functioning remains uninvestigated. In this study, we demonstrate the feasibility of using a smartwatch-based application to collect acoustic features as objective markers for detecting deficits in everyday functioning. We collected voice data during the performance of cognitive tasks and daily conversation, as possible application scenarios, from 54 older adults, along with a measure of everyday functioning. Machine learning models using acoustic features could detect individuals with deficits in everyday functioning with up to 77.8% accuracy, which was higher than the 68.5% accuracy with standard neuropsychological tests. We also identified common acoustic features for robustly discriminating deficits in everyday functioning across both types of voice data (cognitive tasks and daily conversation). Our results suggest that common acoustic features extracted from different types of voice data can be used as markers for deficits in everyday functioning.
Anomalous ^{125}Te Nuclear Spin Relaxation Coincident with Charge Kondo Behavior in Superconducting Pb_{1-x}Tl_{x}Te

description: We report a ^{125}Te-NMR study of single-crystalline Pb_{1-x}Tl_{x}Te for x= 0 (undoped non-superconducting "parent"), 0.35 at% (doped but on the borderline of superconductivity), and 1.0 at% (superconducting, with a critical temperature Tc ~ 1.0 K). The Knight shift in the normal state is enhanced as x increases, corresponding to an increase in the average density of states (DOS). The NMR line-width also increases significantly with increasing x, indicative of a strong spatial variation in the local DOS surrounding each Tl dopant. Remarkably, for the superconducting composition, the ^{125}Te nuclear spin relaxation rate (1/T1T) for Te ions that are close to the Tl dopants is unexpectedly enhanced in the normal state below a characteristic temperature of ~10 K. This temperature coincides with the temperature below which the normal state resistivity experiences an upturn. Such a simultaneous upturn in both the resistivity and (1/T1T) is highly anomalous, and puts Pb_{1-x}Tl_{x}Te in a distinct new class of doped semiconductors. These observations provide microscopic evidence for dynamical charge fluctuations in the absence of paramagnetism, and are consistent with expectations for charge Kondo behavior associated with the Tl dopant ions. In contrast, such anomalies were not detected in the non-superconducting samples (x=0 and 0.35 at%), suggesting a connection between dynamical valence fluctuations and the occurrence of superconductivity in Pb_{1-x}Tl_{x}Te.

description: We study the correlation between the specific star formation rate of central galaxies and neighbour galaxies, also known as 'galactic conformity', out to 20 Mpc/h using three semi-analytic models (SAMs, one from L-GALAXIES and other two from GALFORM). The aim is to establish whether SAMs are able to show galactic conformity using different models and selection criteria. In all the models, when the selection of primary galaxies is based on an isolation criterion in real space, the mean fraction of quenched galaxies around quenched primary galaxies is higher than that around star-forming primary galaxies of the same stellar mass. The overall signal of conformity decreases when we remove satellites selected as primary galaxies, but the effect is much stronger in GALFORM models compared with the L-GALAXIES model. We find this difference is partially explained by the fact that in GALFORM once a galaxy becomes a satellite remains as such, whereas satellites can become centrals at a later time in L-GALAXIES. The signal of conformity decreases down to 60% in the L-GALAXIES model after removing central galaxies that were ejected from their host halo in the past. Galactic conformity is also influenced by primary galaxies at fixed stellar mass that reside in dark matter haloes of different masses. Finally, we explore a proxy of conformity between distinct haloes. In this case the conformity is weak beyond ~ 3 Mpc/h (<3% in L-GALAXIES, <1-2% in GALFORM models). Therefore, it seems difficult that conformity is directly related with a long-range effect.

description: This paper introduces Stringesthesia, an interactive and improvised performance paradigm. Stringesthesia uses real-time neuroimaging to connect performers and audiences, enabling direct access to the performers mental state and determining audience participation during the performance. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, a noninvasive neuroimaging tool, was used to assess metabolic activity of brain areas collectively associated with a metric we call trust. A visualization representing the real-time measurement of the performers level of trust was projected behind the performer and used to dynamically restrict or promote audience participation. Throughout the paper we discuss prior work that heavily influenced our design, conceptual and methodological issues with using fNIRS technology, system architecture, and feedback from the audience and performer.

description: Context. The observation of >100 MeV γ-rays in the minutes to hours following solar flares suggests that high-energy particles interacting in the solar atmosphere can be stored and/or accelerated for long time periods. The occasions when γ-rays are detected even when the solar eruptions occurred beyond the solar limb as viewed from Earth provide favorable viewing conditions for studying the role of coronal shocks driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the acceleration of these particles. Aims: In this paper, we investigate the spatial and temporal evolution of the coronal shocks inferred from stereoscopic observations of behind-the-limb flares to determine if they could be the source of the particles producing the γ-rays. Methods: We analyzed the CMEs and early formation of coronal shocks associated with γ-ray events measured by the Fermi-Large Area Telescope (LAT) from three eruptions behind the solar limb as viewed from Earth on 2013 Oct. 11, 2014 Jan. 06 and Sep. 01. We used a 3D triangulation technique, based on remote-sensing observations to model the expansion of the CME shocks from above the solar surface to the upper corona. Coupling the expansion model to various models of the coronal magnetic field allowed us to derive the time-dependent distribution of shock Mach numbers and the magnetic connection of particles produced by the shock to the solar surface visible from Earth. Results: The reconstructed shock fronts for the three events became magnetically connected to the visible solar surface after the start of the flare and just before the onset of the >100 MeV γ-ray emission. The shock surface at these connections also exhibited supercritical Mach numbers required for significant particle energization. [...] (Abridged)

Bias to CMB Lensing Reconstruction from Temperature Anisotropies due to Large-Scale Galaxy Motions

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: Gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is expected to be amongst the most powerful cosmological tools for ongoing and upcoming CMB experiments. In this work, we investigate a bias to CMB lensing reconstruction from temperature anisotropies due to the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect, that is, the Doppler shift of CMB photons induced by Compton-scattering off moving electrons. The kSZ signal yields biases due to both its own intrinsic non-Gaussianity and its non-zero cross-correlation with the CMB lensing field (and other fields that trace the large-scale structure). This kSZ-induced bias affects both the CMB lensing auto-power spectrum and its cross-correlation with low-redshift tracers. Furthermore, it cannot be removed by multifrequency foreground separation techniques because the kSZ effect preserves the blackbody spectrum of the CMB. While statistically negligible for current datasets, we show that it will be important for upcoming surveys, and failure to account for it can lead to large biases in constraints on neutrino masses or the properties of dark energy. For a Stage 4 CMB experiment, the bias can be as large as $\approx$ 15% or 12% in cross-correlation with LSST galaxy lensing convergence or galaxy overdensity maps, respectively, when the maximum temperature multipole used in the reconstruction is $\ell_{\rm max} = 4000$, and about half of that when $\ell_{\rm max} = 3000$. Similarly, we find that the CMB lensing auto-power spectrum can be biased by up to several percent. These biases are many times larger than the expected statistical errors. Reducing $\ell_{\rm max}$ can significantly mitigate the bias at the cost of a decrease in the overall lensing reconstruction signal-to-noise. Polarization-only reconstruction may be the most robust mitigation strategy.

description: millimeter wave (mmWave) and sub-terahertz (THz) communications have the potential of increasing mobile network throughput drastically. However, the challenging propagation conditions experienced at mmWave and beyond frequencies can potentially limit the range of the wireless link down to a few meters, compared to up to kilometers for sub-6GHz links. Thus, increasing the density of base station deployments is required to achieve sufficient coverage in the Radio Access Network (RAN). To such end, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) introduced wireless backhauled base stations with Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), a key technology to achieve dense networks while preventing the need for costly fiber deployments. In this paper, we introduce SeBaSi, a system-level simulator for IAB networks, and demonstrate its functionality by simulating IAB deployments in Manhattan, New York City and Padova. Finally, we show how SeBaSi can represent a useful tool for the performance evaluation of self-backhauled cellular networks, thanks to its high level of network abstraction, coupled with its open and customizable design, which allows users to extend it to support novel technologies such as Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RISs)

description: Background: The accurate determination of atomic final states following nuclear $β$ decay plays an important role in many experiments. In particular, the charge state distributions of ions following nuclear $β$ decay are important for determinations of the $β-ν$ angular correlation with improved precision. Purpose: Our measurement aims at providing benchmarks to test theoretical calculations. Method: The kinematics of Li$^{n+}$ ions produced following the $β$ decay of $^6{\rm He}$ within an electric field were measured using $^6{\rm He}$ atoms in the metastable $(1s2s,~{^3S_1})$ and in the $(1s2p,~{^3P_2})$ states confined by a magneto-optical trap. The electron shake-off probabilities were deduced including their dependence on ion energy. Results: We find significant discrepancies on the fractions of Li ions in the different charge states with respect to a recent calculation and discuss a plausible explanation. We also point out that there is no explanation for a large discrepancy between the same calculation and a previous measurement of the Li-ion energy dependence of the charge distribution from decays of the electronic ground state.

description: Nambu-Jona-Lasinio-type models are frequently employed as low-energy models in various research fields. With respect to the theory of the strong interaction, this class of models is indeed often used to analyze the structure of the phase diagram at finite temperature and quark chemical potential. The predictions from such models for the phase structure at finite quark chemical potential are of particular interest as this regime is difficult to access with lattice Monte Carlo approaches. In this work, we consider a Fierz-complete version of a Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. By studying its renormalization group flow, we analyze in detail how Fierz-incomplete approximations affect the predictive power of such model studies. In particular, we investigate the curvature of the phase boundary at small chemical potential, the critical value of the chemical potential above which no spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs, and the possible interpretation of the underlying dynamics in terms of difermion-type degrees of freedom. We find that the inclusion of four-fermion channels other than the conventional scalar-pseudoscalar channel is not only important at large chemical potential but also leaves a significant imprint on the dynamics at small chemical potential as measured by the curvature of the finite-temperature phase boundary.

Implications of the large OVI columns around low-redshift $L_*$ galaxies

description: Observations reveal massive amounts of OVI around star-forming $L_*$ galaxies, with covering fractions of near unity extending to the host halo's virial radius. This OVI absorption is typically kinematically centered upon photoionized gas, with line widths that are suprathermal and kinematically offset from the galaxy. We discuss various scenarios and whether they could result in the observed phenomenology (cooling gas flows, boundary layers, shocks, virialized gas, photoionized clouds in thermal equilibrium). If predominantly collisionally ionized, as we argue is most probable, the OVI observations require that the circumgalactic medium (CGM) of $L_*$ galaxies holds nearly all the associated baryons within a virial radius ($\sim 10^{11}M_\odot$) and hosts massive flows of cooling gas with $\approx30[nT/30{\rm~cm^{-3}K}]~M_\odot~$yr$^{-1}$, which must be largely prevented from accreting onto the host galaxy. Cooling and feedback energetics considerations require $10

description: Optimal transport (OT) theory is applied in deep learning for domain adaptation, aligning distributions between a source and target domain. This adaptation addresses performance decline due to domain differences. OT quantifies divergence using Wasserstein distance and transports source to target distributions, enhancing model performance on the target domain. However, existing methods struggle with domain shifts. This thesis introduces innovative OT-based approaches to address data and label shift problems, and achieve superior unsupervised domain adaptation results compared to recent baselines. This highlights OT's effectiveness in addressing domain adaptation and transfer learning challenges.

description: Suppose that the surfaces K0 and Kr are the boundaries of two convex, complete, connected C^2 bodies in R^3. Assume further that the (Euclidean) distance between any point x in Kr and K0 is always r (r > 0). For x in Kr, let Π(x) denote the nearest point to x in K0. We show that the projection Π preserves geodesics in these surfaces if and only if both surfaces are concentric spheres or co-axial round cylinders. This is optimal in the sense that the main step to establish this result is false for C^{1,1} surfaces. Finally, we give a non-trivial example of a geodesic preserving projection of two C^2 non-constant distance surfaces. The question whether for any C^2 convex surface S0, there is a surface S whose projection to S0 preserves geodesics is open.

description: Данная работа посвящена сравнительно-правовому анализу законодательства Российской Федерации и Украины в отношении противоправной деятельности «черных копателей» в контексте незаконного оборота и торговли оружием. Автор осуществляет разграничение противоправной деятельности «черных копателей» и «черных археологов»; последние, в свою очередь, характеризуются определенными специфическими признаками ввиду их незаконных действий в отношении археологических ценностей. Рассматриваются конкретные случаи правоприменительной практики государственных органов по делам о привлечении к уголовной ответственности лиц, занимавшихся поиском, реконструкцией и продажей оружия времен Великой Отечественной войны. Выделяются определенные правовые пробелы в законодательстве, препятствующие полному и эффективному регулированию данной сферы правоотношений со стороны государства. Обосновывается необходимость совершенствования механизмов правового регулирования незаконного оборота оружия среди «черных копателей» на законодательном уровне.
title: Using virtual reality in the structural measurement of plantation Pinus radiata

description: Point cloud is a set of data points that is generally used for big data visualisation. Point cloud can render massive and complex data points in 3D space to represent objects or structures. Advanced user interfaces are widely integrated into modern computing devices enabling interaction between human and large data. Virtual Reality (VR) technologies have demonstrated their potential to provide virtual environment as a medium in exploration of large point cloud data, which is crucial in data analysis. VR technologies have showed positive results when integrated as training/simulation to some domains such as economic, military defence, and education. Integrating point cloud data into immersive VR could potentially support structural estimation of point cloud. This research focuses on the structural estimation of the point cloud data in VR using radiata pine plantation data. This research compares task performance between VR-point cloud assessment and field assessment, focusing on radiata pine plantation data. In addition to the task performance comparison, feedback about experience and impression of assessing radiata pine in VR-point cloud was collected from practitioners and analysed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Results from this research are useful to reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the VR-point cloud for structural estimation tasks in radiata pine trees.

description: This study focused on the comprehensive characterization of twenty-two grapevine accessions newly introduced and maintained ex-situ in the germplasm repository of the NRDIBH Stefanesti, in Romania. The results obtained with twelve SSR markers, 49 OIV traits and descriptions from old reference documents were put together to obtain a complete characterization. By comparison of the obtained molecular profiles with those collected in the Vitis International Variety Catalogue SSR database, two new synonyms, four misnomers and four new genotypes were found. One previously questionable variety was identified ('Negru tinctorial') and the correct name was associated to a genotype previously believed of Egyptian origin. The 22 accessions were morphologically described, the distinct characteristics for each genotype were highlighted and seven accessions were described for the first time.
