The publication offers simplified technical guidance directed to any good-faith promoter of formal negotiation with one or more violent criminal groups when the proposed endgame of the negotiation is to reduce or end the criminal violence in question. In doing so, the paper draws on key ideas developed in IFIT’s ground-breaking report, Negotiating with Violent Criminal Groups: Lessons and Guidelines from Global Practice (Freeman & Felbab-Brown, 2021), which covers the most diverse set of negotiations with criminal groups ever examined in one place.

The first part of the paper examines threshold questions a good-faith promoter would be wise to consider before outwardly exploring or proposing any negotiation involving a criminal group; the second part discusses internal and external actions a good-faith promoter ought to contemplate as part of any initial phase of formal engagement or negotiation with members of a criminal group.

description: We prove a Pontryagin Maximum Principle for optimal control problems in the space of probability measures, where the dynamics is given by a transport equation with non-local velocity. We formulate this first-order optimality condition using the formalism of subdifferential calculus in Wasserstein spaces. We show that the geometric approach based on needle variations and on the evolution of the covector (here replaced by the evolution of a mesure on the dual space) can be translated into this formalism.

description: Identification of microscopic configuration of point defects acting as quantum bits is a key step in the advance of quantum information processing and sensing. Among the numerous candidates, silicon vacancy related centers in silicon carbide (SiC) have shown remarkable properties owing to their particular spin-3/2 ground and excited states. Although, these centers were observed decades ago, still two competing models, the isolated negatively charged silicon vacancy and the complex of negatively charged silicon vacancy and neutral carbon vacancy [Phys. Rev. Lett.\ \textbf{115}, 247602 (2015)] are argued as an origin. By means of high precision first principles calculations and high resolution electron spin resonance measurements, we here unambiguously identify the Si-vacancy related qubits in hexagonal SiC as isolated negatively charged silicon vacancies. Moreover, we identify the Si-vacancy qubit configurations that provide room temperature optical readout.

description: In this note, we introduce and study a new class of "half integrands" in Cachazo-He-Yuan (CHY) formula, which naturally generalize the so-called Parke-Taylor factors; these are dubbed Cayley functions as each of them corresponds to a labelled tree graph. The CHY formula with a Cayley function squared gives a sum of Feynman diagrams, and we represent it by a combinatoric polytope whose vertices correspond to Feynman diagrams. We provide a simple graphic rule to derive the polytope from a labelled tree graph, and classify such polytopes ranging from the associahedron to the permutohedron. Furthermore, we study the linear space of such half integrands and find (1) a nice formula reducing any Cayley function to a sum of Parke-Taylor factors in the Kleiss-Kuijf basis (2) a set of Cayley functions as a new basis of the space; each element has the remarkable property that its CHY formula with a given Parke-Taylor factor gives either a single Feynman diagram or zero. We also briefly discuss applications of Cayley functions and the new basis in certain disk integrals of superstring theory.

description: Mission-Critical Communication Networks (MCCNs) are wireless networks whose malfunction can cause significant problems. The nature of MCCNs puts an extremely high standard on the Quality of Service (QoS). QoS assurance starts from monitoring and change/anomaly detection of network packets data. This problem has been primarily studied by the research community of communication networks, in which the existing methods fall short for providing a privacy-preserving, minimum-disruption, global monitoring tool. Another relevant research area is Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC), in which generic methods have been developed for monitoring high-dimensional data streams. These methods do not account for the special data distribution and correlation structure of packet streams. Nor are they efficient enough to suit real-time analytics in MCCNs. We propose a method called Sparse Singular Value Decomposition (SSVD)-MSPC. SSVD-MSPC addresses the aforementioned limitations and additionally provides key capabilities toward QoS improvement, including monitoring, fault identification, and fault characterization. Extensive case studies are conducted for MCCNs that experience faults of different magnitudes and various temporal shapes. SSVD-MSPC achieves good performance across the different settings in comparison with existing methods.

Quantum caustics and the hierarchy of light cones in quenched spin chains

description: We show that the light cone-like structures that form in spin chains after a quench are quantum caustics. Their natural description is in terms of catastrophe theory and this implies: 1) a hierarchy of light cone structures corresponding to the different catastrophes; 2) dressing by characteristic wave functions that obey scaling laws determined by the Arnol'd and Berry indices; 3) a network of vortex-antivortex pairs in space-time inside the cone. We illustrate the theory by giving explicit calculations for the transverse field Ising model and the XY model, finding fold catastrophes dressed by Airy functions and cusp catastrophes dressed by Pearcey functions; multisite correlation functions are described by higher catastrophes such as the hyperbolic umbilic. Furthermore, we find that the vortex pairs created inside the cone are sensitive to phase transitions in these spin models with their rate of production being determined by the dynamical critical exponent. More broadly, this work illustrates how catastrophe theory can be applied to singularities in quantum fields.

description: ????Data are stored in many different shapes and sizes everywhere across the internet, and often without consistency. The goal of the Australian Reference Genome Atlas (ARGA) project is to show users where to obtain data they may be interested in, and how it compares to data in other locations. To do this, we first need to collect the metadata and standardise it such that all pieces of metadata can be interpreted similarly.  ARGA has created a bespoke in-house data retrieval pipeline for this purpose.

The data retrieval pipeline consists of three phases: download, processing, and conversion; this pipeline is driven by configuration files outlined for each database of interest.  Downloading is currently split into distinct categories: URL, crawling, and script retrieval. Script retrieval is the most diverse, being used for both API access and scraping static data from web pages. Processing is then implemented based on specific file processing, processing that needs to be applied to all files, and final stage processing that combines files into a final output file representative of the entire target database. Some datasets require little to no processing, but are always represented with a single output file.  Using this final file, mapping is implemented to convert columns to standardised names within the ARGA schema through the conversion process.

Here we detail the data ingestion pipeline and demonstrate how it will be implemented to index more datasets and adapt to handle any complex data challenges ahead.

description: Plasmodium falciparum has a complex life cycle that involves interaction with multiple tissues inside the human and mosquito hosts. Identification of essential genes at all different stages of the P. falciparum life cycle is urgently required for clinical development of tools for malaria control and eradication. However, the study of P. falciparum is limited by the inability to genetically modify the parasite throughout its life cycle with the currently available genetic tools. Here, we describe the detailed characterization of a new marker-free P. falciparum parasite line that expresses rapamycin-inducible Cre recombinase across the full life cycle. Using this parasite line, we were able to conditionally delete the essential invasion ligand AMA1 in three different developmental stages for the first time. We further confirm efficient gene deletion by targeting the nonessential kinase FIKK7.1.IMPORTANCE One of the major limitations in studying P. falciparum is that so far only asexual stages are amenable to rapid conditional genetic modification. The most promising drug targets and vaccine candidates, however, have been refractory to genetic modification because they are essential during the blood stage or for transmission in the mosquito vector. This leaves a major gap in our understanding of parasite proteins in most life cycle stages and hinders genetic validation of drug and vaccine targets. Here, we describe a method that supports conditional gene deletion across the P. falciparum life cycle for the first time. We demonstrate its potential by deleting essential and nonessential genes at different parasite stages, which opens up completely new avenues for the study of malaria and drug development. It may also allow the realization of novel vaccination strategies using attenuated parasites.

We do this using Angluin's L* algorithm as a learner and the trained RNN as an oracle. Our technique efficiently extracts accurate automata from trained RNNs, even when the state vectors are large and require fine differentiation.

Strong magnetic field induces superconductivity in Weyl semi - metal

description: Microscopic theory of the normal-to-superconductor coexistence line of a 2D two-band Weyl superconductor subjected to magnetic field is constructed. It is shown that a Weyl semi-metal that is nonsuperconducting or having a small critical temperature $T_{c}$ at zero field, might become a superconductor at higher temperature when the magnetic field is tuned to a series of quantized values $H_{n}$. The pairing occurs on Landau levels. It is argued that the phenomenon is much easier detectable in Weyl semi - metals than in parabolic band metals since the quantum limit already has been approaches in several Weyl materials.. An experimental signature of the superconductivity on Landau levels is the reduction of magnetoresistivity. This has already been observed in $Cd_{3}As_{2}$ and several other compounds. The novel kind of quantum oscillations of magnetoresistance detected in $ZrTe_{5}$ is discussed along these lines.

description: Written by IFIT Founder and Executive Director Mark Freeman, this publication draws on wide-ranging research, consultations and convenings conducted in the context of IFIT’s and the Ford Foundation’s Global Initiative on Polarization.The first part of the publication focuses at the level of ideas, examining persistent ambiguities in our understanding of polarisation and offering a ‘hallmarks’ definition that might facilitate a more shared baseline among academics and practitioners alike. The second part draws on a global survey of de-polarisation practice, and on IFIT’s own fieldwork, to formulate an indicative solutions spectrum. The third part briefly explores the impact of the absence of any organised global network of scholars and practitioners working collaboratively on polarisation, and reflects on what it might mean for a ‘field’ of polarisation to emerge.

While there are worse evils in the world, polarisation is a problem ignored at one’s own peril. One might call it a ‘hyper-problem’: the special category of problem that makes the solution to every other problem harder. Inconspicuously and incrementally, polarisation can come to threaten everything – from the ideal of a tolerant society, to the practice of ordinary politics, to the prospects for peaceful coexistence and basic liberties. Achieving greater consensus on what polarisation is (and is not) is a critical step in avoiding this fate.

description: The essential ingredients of nuclear astrophysics are the thermonuclear reactions which shape the life and death of stars and which are responsible for the synthesis of the chemical elements in the Universe. Deep underground in the Gran Sasso Laboratory the cross sections of the key reactions responsible for the hydrogen burning in stars have been measured with two accelerators of 50 and 400 kV voltage right down to the energies of astrophysical interest. As a matter of fact, the main advantage of the underground laboratory is the reduction of the background. Such a reduction has allowed, for the first time, to measure relevant cross sections at the Gamow energy. The qualifying features of underground nuclear astrophysics are exhaustively reviewed before discussing the current LUNA program which is mainly devoted to the study of the Big-Bang nucleosynthesis and of the synthesis of the light elements in AGB stars and classical novae. The main results obtained during the study of reactions relevant to the Sun are also reviewed and their influence on our understanding of the properties of the neutrino, of the Sun and of the Universe itself is discussed. Finally, the future of LUNA during the next decade is outlined. It will be mainly focused on the study of the nuclear burning stages after hydrogen burning: helium and carbon burning. All this will be accomplished thanks to a new 3.5 MV accelerator able to deliver high current beams of proton, helium and carbon which will start running under Gran Sasso in 2019. In particular, we will discuss the first phase of the scientific case of the 3.5 MV accelerator focused on the study of $^{12}$C+$^{12}$C and of the two reactions which generate free neutrons inside stars: $^{13}$C($α$,n)$^{16}$O and $^{22}$Ne($α$,n)$^{25}$Mg.

Thinking with Oysters in Times of Uncertainty
Creators: name: Yoshida, Mariko
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: This dissertation is an ethnography of the transnational life of oysters, viewed through the lens of Japanese aquaculture, where ecological emergences, alterations, and disruptions unfold across both inter- and intra-species dynamics. Oyster culture forms a landscape of uncertainties, marked by the escalating rise in intense ecological upheaval and socio-economic precariousness. These uncertainties are manifested as everyday encounters with and responses to unforeseen climate change impacts on oyster mortality, human depopulation and aging in the fisheries sector, and shifts in seafood consumption patterns. The simultaneous proliferation of these uncertainties has given rise to: bioengineering, such as selective breeding for high water temperature tolerance and disease resistance, aimed at optimizing cost efficiency and creating high-value-added products; techno-scientific innovations in seafood safety and security, such as virus-free oyster farming using microalgae engineering; and the re-establishment of oyster seasonality grounded in value creation for the consumption market. Drawing on years of ethnographic and archival research in Japan, Australia, Poland, and the USA, I address the transformation of the modes of production, circulation, and consumption of the Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas; magaki), a species endemic to East Asia that presently constitutes 80 percent of the total world production of edible oysters. Attentive to the spatio-temporal, material, metabolic, and affective relationalities of human-nonhuman-environment interactions, this thesis grapples with the contingent practices of more-than-human entanglements that constitute contemporary Japanese aquaculture. I pose the following questions: How have these unevenly distributed uncertainties been addressed by various epistemic communities, including oyster producers, marine biologists, market authorities, distributors, and consumers? How do more-than-human entanglements at multi-scalar levels lead to the creation of new forces and agents? Ultimately, I inquire into how the values and meanings of contemporary Japanese aquaculture have been reformulated in the face of ecological precariousness. By tracing this far-reaching knowledge-making, I argue that these practices are situated through interdependent enmeshments of networks in action, dynamics, and stabilization - in which multiple heterogeneous actors (oysters, viruses, local producers, marine biologists, biotech ventures, farming equipment, market distributors, and consumers) are entangled. Finally, this thesis explores the theoretical implications of multispecies ethnography in which oysters play vital roles in intention-forming and place-making, rather than being merely a passive consumable resource.

description: Panoramic video provides immersive and interactive experience by enabling humans to control the field of view (FoV) through head movement (HM). Thus, HM plays a key role in modeling human attention on panoramic video. This paper establishes a database collecting subjects' HM in panoramic video sequences. From this database, we find that the HM data are highly consistent across subjects. Furthermore, we find that deep reinforcement learning (DRL) can be applied to predict HM positions, via maximizing the reward of imitating human HM scanpaths through the agent's actions. Based on our findings, we propose a DRL-based HM prediction (DHP) approach with offline and online versions, called offline-DHP and online-DHP. In offline-DHP, multiple DRL workflows are run to determine potential HM positions at each panoramic frame. Then, a heat map of the potential HM positions, named the HM map, is generated as the output of offline-DHP. In online-DHP, the next HM position of one subject is estimated given the currently observed HM position, which is achieved by developing a DRL algorithm upon the learned offline-DHP model. Finally, the experiments validate that our approach is effective in both offline and online prediction of HM positions for panoramic video, and that the learned offline-DHP model can improve the performance of online-DHP.

description: Although many plants are dispersed by wind and seeds can travel long distances across unsuitable matrix areas, a large proportion relies on co-evolved zoochorous seed dispersal to connect populations in isolated habitat islands. Particularly in agricultural landscapes, where remaining habitat patches are often very small and highly isolated, mobile linkers as zoochorous seed dispersers are critical for the population dynamics of numerous plant species. However, knowledge about the quali- or quantification of such mobile link processes, especially in agricultural landscapes, is still limited. In a controlled feeding experiment, we recorded the seed intake and germination success after complete digestion by the European brown hare (Lepus europaeus) and explored its mobile link potential as an endozoochoric seed disperser. Utilizing a suite of common, rare, and potentially invasive plant species, we disentangled the effects of seed morphological traits on germination success while controlling for phylogenetic relatedness. Further, we measured the landscape connectivity via hares in two contrasting agricultural landscapes (simple: few natural and semi-natural structures, large fields; complex: high amount of natural and semi-natural structures, small fields) using GPS-based movement data. With 34,710 seeds of 44 plant species fed, one of 200 seeds (0.51%) with seedlings of 33 species germinated from feces. Germination after complete digestion was positively related to denser seeds with comparatively small surface area and a relatively slender and elongated shape, suggesting that, for hares, the most critical seed characteristics for successful endozoochorous seed dispersal minimize exposure of the seed to the stomach and the associated digestive system. Furthermore, we could show that a hare's retention time is long enough to interconnect different habitats, especially grasslands and fields. Thus, besides other seed dispersal mechanisms, this most likely allows hares to act as effective mobile linkers contributing to ecosystem stability in times of agricultural intensification, not only in complex but also in simple landscapes.

Enhanced optical Kerr effect method for a detailed characterization of the third order nonlinearity of 2D materials applied to graphene

description: Using an enhanced optically heterodyned optical Kerr effect method and a theoretical description of the interactions between an optical beam, a single layer of graphene, and its substrate, we provide experimental answers to questions raised by theoretical models of graphene third-order nonlinear optical response. In particular, we measure separately the time response of the two main tensor components of the nonlinear susceptibility, we validate the assumption that the out-of plane tensor components are small, and we quantify the optical impact of the substrate on the measured coefficients. Our method can be applied to other 2D materials, as it relies mainly on the small ratio between the thickness and the wavelength.

description: Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $\neq 2$. In this paper we study squares, cubes and their products in split and anisotropic groups of type $A_1$. In split case, we show that computing $n^{\rm th}$ roots is equivalent to finding solutions of certain polynomial equations in at most two variables over the base field $k$. The description of these polynomials involves generalised Fibonacci polynomials. Using this we obtain asymptotic proportions of $n^{\rm th}$ powers, and conjugacy classes which are $n^{\rm th}$ powers, in ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$ when $n$ is a prime or $n = 4$. We also extend already known Waring type result for ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$, that every element of ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$ is a product of two squares, to ${\rm SL}_2(k)$ for an arbitrary $k$. For anisotropic groups of type $A_1$, namely ${\rm SL}_1(Q)$ where $Q$ is a quaternion division algebra, we prove that when $2$ is a square in $k$, every element of ${\rm SL}_1(Q)$ is a product of two squares if and only if $-1$ is a square in ${\rm SL}_1(Q)$.

description: In this study, silver nanoparticles-based surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy combined with a serum protein purification method was employed to screen liver tumors. The cellulose acetate membrane was used to separate proteins from human serum, and then the purified serum proteins were mixed with silver nanoparticles for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy detection. High-quality spectra were recorded from serum protein samples belonging to 45 healthy volunteers and 42 liver cancer patients, and the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of liver cancer were 90.5% and 95.6%, respectively, indicating that this method has great application potential for the detection and screening of liver cancer.

description: We propose a phenomenological formula relating the Cabibbo--Kobayashi--Masukawa matrix $V_{CKM}$ and quark masses in the form $(\sqrt{m_d} \, \sqrt{m_s} \, \sqrt{m_b}) \propto (\sqrt{m_u} \, \sqrt{m_c} \, \sqrt{m_t})V_{CKM}$. The results of the proposed formula are in agreement with experimental data. Under the constraint of the formula, we show that the invariant amplitude of the charged current weak interactions is maximized.

On the Casimir interaction between two smoothly deformed cylindrical surfaces

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We generalize the derivative expansion (DE) approach to the interaction between almost-flat smooth surfaces, to the case of surfaces which are optimally described in cylindrical coordinates. As in the original form of the DE, the obtained method does not depend on the nature of the interaction. We apply our results to the study of the static, zero-temperature Casimir effect between two cylindrical surfaces, obtaining approximate expressions which are reliable under the assumption that the distance between those surfaces is always much smaller than their local curvature radii. To obtain the zero-point energy, we apply known results about the thermal Casimir effect for a planar geometry. To that effect, we relate the time coordinate in the latter to the angular variable in the cylindrical case, as well as the temperature to the radius of the cylinders. We study the dependence of the applicability of the DE on the kind of interaction, considering the particular cases where Dirichlet or Neumann conditions are applied to a scalar field.
