description: Recent laboratory experiments with laser-produced plasmas have observed and studied a number of fundamental physical processes relevant to magnetized astrophysical plasmas, including magnetic reconnection, collisionless shocks, and magnetic field generation by Weibel instability, opening up new experimental platforms for laboratory astrophysics. We develop a fully kinetic simulation model for first-principles simulation of these systems including the dynamics of magnetic fields---magnetic field generation by the Biermann battery effect or Weibel instability; advection by the ion flow, Hall effect, and Nernst effect; and destruction of the field by dissipative mechanisms. Key dimensionless parameters describing the system are derived for scaling between kinetic simulation, recent experiments, and astrophysical plasmas. First, simulations are presented which model Biermann battery magnetic field generation in plasmas expanding from a thin target. Ablation of two neighboring plumes leads to the formation of a current sheet as the opposing Biermann-generated fields collide, modeling recent laser-driven magnetic reconnection experiments. Second, we simulate recent experiments on collisionless magnetized shock generation, by expanding a piston plasma into a pre-magnetized ambient plasma. For parameters considered, the Biermann effect generates additional magnetic fields in the curved shock front and thereby increases shock particle reflection. Both cases show the importance of kinetic processes in the interaction of plasmas with magnetic fields, and open opportunities to benchmark these important processes through comparison of theory and experiments.

description: Virtual world conferences have been shown to give users an increased sense of presence in a collaboration as opposed to teleconferences, video-conferences and web- conferences. Such telepresence encourages remote participants to engage in the collaboration. Current virtual world collaboration applications rely on mouse/keyboard interfaces to create pure-virtual collaborations. In this paper we propose HyPhIVE, a system to address hybrid collaboration between the physical world and virtual worlds. In hybrid collaboration scenarios, a group of people collaborate in the real world and others join them remotely via a virtual world. HyPhIVE uses non-intrusive mobile sensors to detect real world users’ collaboration context such as their position, direction of gaze, gestures and voice. HyPhIVE projects the sensed real world collaboration into a virtual world in a way that collaboration patterns are preserved. Remote users join the collaboration using virtual world clients and interact with other users’ avatars. User studies have shown that HyPhIVE effectively projects real world collaborations into a virtual world and it improves users’ experience of remote collaboration.
Search for heavy particles decaying into top-quark pairs using lepton-plus-jets events in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

description: A search for new heavy particles that decay into top-quark pairs is performed using data collected from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The integrated luminosity of the data sample is 36.1 fb$^{-1}$. Events consistent with top-quark pair production are selected by requiring a single isolated charged lepton, missing transverse momentum and jet activity compatible with a hadronic top-quark decay. Jets identified as likely to contain $b$-hadrons are required to reduce the background from other Standard Model processes. The invariant mass spectrum of the candidate top-quark pairs is examined for excesses above the background expectation. No significant deviations from the Standard Model predictions are found. Exclusion limits are set on the production cross-section times branching ratio for hypothetical $Z'$ bosons, Kaluza-Kein gluons and Kaluza-Klein gravitons that decay into top-quark pairs.

Bad metallic transport in a modified Hubbard model

description: Strongly correlated metals often display anomalous transport, including $T$-linear resistivity above the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit. We introduce a tractable microscopic model for such bad metals, by supplementing the well-known Hubbard model --- with hopping $t$ and on-site repulsion $U$ --- with a `screened Coulomb' interaction between charge densities that decays exponentially with spatial separation. This interaction entirely lifts the extensive degeneracy in the spectrum of the $t=0$ Hubbard model, allowing us to fully characterize the small $t$ electric, thermal and thermoelectric transport in our strongly correlated model. Throughout the phase diagram we observe $T$-linear resistivity above the Mott-Ioffe-Regel limit, together with strong violation of the Weidemann-Franz law and a large thermopower that can undergo sign change. At intermediate temperatures $t \ll k_B T \lesssim U$, the approximate $T$-linear resistivity arises from a cancellation between the nontrivial temperature dependence of both diffusivities and thermodynamic susceptibilities, as observed in recent transport experiments on cold atomic gases.

Gribov ambiguity and non-trivial vacuum structure of gauge theories on a cylinder

description: Using the hamiltonian framework, we analyze the Gribov problem for U(N) and SU(N) gauge theories on a cylinder (= (1+1) dimensional spacetime with compact space S^1). The space of gauge orbits is found to be an orbifold. We show by explicit construction that a proper treatment of the Gribov ambiguity leads to a highly non-trivial structure of all physical states in these quantum field theory models. The especially interesting example of massless QCD is discussed in more detail: There, some of the special static gauge transformations which are responsible for the Gribov ambiguity also lead to a spectral flow, and this implies a chiral condensate in all physical states. We also show that the latter is closely related to the Schwinger term and the chiral anomaly.

description: We study the effect of one-loop vacuum polarization on photon propagation in Siklos spacetimes in the geometric optics limit. We show that for photons with a general polarization in the transverse plane, the quantum correction vanishes in spacetimes with $H_{xy}=0$. For photons polarized along a transverse axis, subluminal and superluminal solutions are admitted for certain subclasses of Siklos spacetimes. We investigate the results in the Kaigorodov and Defrise spacetimes and obtain explicit expressions for the phase velocities. In Kaigorodov spacetime with $H\sim x^3$, photons polarized along $x$-axis are subluminal in regions where $H$ is positive, and superluminal in regions where $H$ is negative, while photons polarized along $y$-axis are superluminal in $H>0$ regions and subluminal in $H<0$ regions. In Defrise spacetime, $H\sim x^{-2}$, $x$-polarized and $y$-polarized photons are superluminal for $H<0$ and subluminal for $H>0$. We comment on motion in other Siklos spacetimes.

description: The study of finite J effects for the light-cone AdS superstring by means of the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz requires an understanding of a companion 2d theory which we call the mirror model. It is obtained from the original string model by the double Wick rotation. The S-matrices describing the scattering of physical excitations in the string and mirror models are related to each other by an analytic continuation. We show that the unitarity requirement for the mirror S-matrix fixes the S-matrices of both theories essentially uniquely. The resulting string S-matrix S(z_1,z_2) satisfies the generalized unitarity condition and, up to a scalar factor, is a meromorphic function on the elliptic curve associated to each variable z. The double Wick rotation is then accomplished by shifting the variables z by quarter of the imaginary period of the torus. We discuss the apparent bound states of the string and mirror models, and show that depending on a choice of the physical region there are one, two or 2^{M-1} solutions of the M-particle bound state equations sharing the same conserved charges. For very large but finite values of J, most of these solutions, however, exhibit various signs of pathological behavior. In particular, they might receive a finite J correction to their energy which is complex, or the energy correction might exceed corrections arising due to finite J modifications of the Bethe equations thus making the asymptotic Bethe ansatz inapplicable.

description: Rankings are ubiquitous in the online world today. As we have transitioned from finding books in libraries to ranking products, jobs, job applicants, opinions and potential romantic partners, there is a substantial precedent that ranking systems have a responsibility not only to their users but also to the items being ranked. To address these often conflicting responsibilities, we propose a conceptual and computational framework that allows the formulation of fairness constraints on rankings in terms of exposure allocation. As part of this framework, we develop efficient algorithms for finding rankings that maximize the utility for the user while provably satisfying a specifiable notion of fairness. Since fairness goals can be application specific, we show how a broad range of fairness constraints can be implemented using our framework, including forms of demographic parity, disparate treatment, and disparate impact constraints. We illustrate the effect of these constraints by providing empirical results on two ranking problems.

description: The importance of properly taking into account the factorization scheme dependence of parton distribution functions is emphasized. A serious error in the usual handling of this topic is pointed out and the correct procedure for transforming parton distribution functions from one factorisation scheme to another recalled. It is shown that the conventional $\overline{\rm {MS}}$ and DIS definitions thereof are ill-defined due to the lack of distinction between the factorisation scheme dependence of parton distribution functions and renormalisation scheme dependence of the strong coupling constant $α_s$. A novel definition of parton distribution functions is suggested and its role in the construction of consistent next-to-leading order event generators briefly outlined.

description: European Society for Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Colloquium, February 2024 (online)

Your brain has its own waterscape: whether you are reading, thinking or sleeping, fluid flows through or around the brain tissue, clearing waste in the process. These biophysical processes are crucial for the well-being and function of the brain. In spite of their importance we understand them but little, and mathematical and computational modelling could play a crucial role in gaining new insight. In this talk, I will give an overview of mathematical, mechanical and numerical approaches to understand mechanisms underlying pulsatility, fluid flow and solute transport in the human brain. Topics include fluid-structure interactions, generalized poroelasticity, mixed finite element discretizations and preconditioning, uncertainty quantification, and optimal control.

description: We present a novel electrical technique to measure the tension of wires in multi-wire drift chambers. We create alternating electric fields by biasing adjacent wires on both sides of a test wire with a superposition of positive and negative DC voltages on an AC signal ($V_{\rm AC} \pm V_{\rm DC}$). The resulting oscillations of the wire will display a resonance at its natural frequency, and the corresponding change of the capacitance will lead to a measurable current. This scheme is scalable to multiple wires and therefore enables us to precisely measure the tension of a large number of wires in a short time. This technique can also be applied at cryogenic temperatures making it an attractive solution for future large time-projection chambers such as the DUNE detector. We present the concept, an example implementation and its performance in a real-world scenario and discuss the limitations of the sensitivity of the system in terms of voltage and wire length.

description: The longitudinal double spin asymmetry A_LL in the reaction pp --> pi X has been measured at RHIC with extremely interesting consequences. If the gluon polarization in a proton were as big as needed to resolve the famous "spin crisis" then A_LL would be large and positive. Latest RHIC results indicate that A_LL is small and disfavour large positive values of the gluon polarization. We examine whether the soft mechanisms (Collins, Sivers, Boer-Mulders), essential for generating transverse single spin asymmetries, have any significant influence on A_LL, and whether they could alter the conclusion that the gluon polarization is necessarily small. It turns out that the contribution from these effects is essentially negligible.

description: Coherent exclusive vector meson electroproduction is a key physics channel at an electron-ion collider. It probes the gluon structure of nuclei over a wide range of $Q^2$, and can be used to measure nuclear shadowing and to search for gluon saturation and/or the colored glass condensate. In this paper, we present calculations of the kinematic distributions for a variety of exclusive vector meson final states: the $ρ$, $ϕ$, J/$ψ$, $ψ'$ and the $Υ$ states. The cross-sections for light and $c\overline c$ mesons are large, while $Υ$ states should be produced in moderate numbers at a medium energy EIC (the proposed U.S. designs) and in large numbers at the LHeC. We investigate the acceptances for these states, as a function of detector rapidity coverage. A large-acceptance detector is needed to cover the full range photon-nucleon collision energies produced at an EIC; a forward detector is required to observe vector mesons from the most energetic photon interactions, and thereby probe gluons at the lowest possible Bjorken-$x$ values.

This research presents the methods that are used to examine the dynamics and potential spillover effects of various global environmental conservation programs. We specifically show the data and models that we use to analyze the interactions and mutual influences between the U.S.'s Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), as well as those between China's Grain-to-Green Program (GTGP) and Forest Ecological Benefit Compensation (FEBC). Additionally, this study illustrates information about global initiatives, their interconnected impacts, and the associated policy strategies for environmental conservation. By utilizing multivariate regression, logistic regression, eigenvector spatial filtering, and scenario modeling, the research aims to understand the collective influence of these initiatives on broader environmental objectives. The findings of this study provide valuable insights for improving conservation policy designs and effectiveness.

description: There is an undeniable communication barrier between deaf people and people with normal hearing ability. Although innovations in sign language translation technology aim to tear down this communication barrier, the majority of existing sign language translation systems are either intrusive or constrained by resolution or ambient lighting conditions. Moreover, these existing systems can only perform single-sign ASL translation rather than sentence-level translation, making them much less useful in daily-life communication scenarios. In this work, we fill this critical gap by presenting DeepASL, a transformative deep learning-based sign language translation technology that enables ubiquitous and non-intrusive American Sign Language (ASL) translation at both word and sentence levels. DeepASL uses infrared light as its sensing mechanism to non-intrusively capture the ASL signs. It incorporates a novel hierarchical bidirectional deep recurrent neural network (HB-RNN) and a probabilistic framework based on Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) for word-level and sentence-level ASL translation respectively. To evaluate its performance, we have collected 7,306 samples from 11 participants, covering 56 commonly used ASL words and 100 ASL sentences. DeepASL achieves an average 94.5% word-level translation accuracy and an average 8.2% word error rate on translating unseen ASL sentences. Given its promising performance, we believe DeepASL represents a significant step towards breaking the communication barrier between deaf people and hearing majority, and thus has the significant potential to fundamentally change deaf people's lives.

description: Sarmatian sediments on the territory of Kakheti are oil-bearing. In recent years, for the purpose of prospecting oil and gas, deep oil wells have been bored. Processing the muddy material allowed the foraminifera complexes to alternate in the sediments revealed by the wells.The material was studied in the oil wells: Vashliani No.1, Vashliani No.10, Taribana No.39, Taribana 40.So middle and lower Sarmatian and Konkian are determined according to foraminifera complexes in oilwells. Middle Sarmatian sediments are divided into three parts, and lower Sarmatian – into two. The lower part of lower Sarmatian is transitional, and its fauna complex proves successive connections between Konkian and Sarmatian faunas.

description: It has been proposed recently by Loureiro & Boldyrev [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 245101 (2017)] and Mallet et al. [Mon. Not. R. Astron. Soc. 468, 4862 (2017)] that strongly anisotropic current sheets formed in the inertial range of magnetohydrodynamic turbulence become affected by the tearing instability at scales smaller than a critical scale $λ_\mathrm{c}$, and larger than the dissipation scale of turbulence. If true, this process can modify the nature of energy cascade at smaller scales, leading to a new, tearing-mediated regime of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. In this work we present a numerical study of strongly anisotropic, two-dimensional turbulent eddies, and we demonstrate that the tearing instability can indeed compete with their nonlinear evolution. The results, therefore, provide direct numerical support for the picture that a new regime of MHD turbulence can exist below $λ_\mathrm{c}$.

description: Crowding is a technique used in genetic algorithms to preserve diversity in the population and to prevent premature convergence to local optima. It consists of pairing each offspring with a similar individual in the current population (pairing phase) and deciding which of the two will remain in the population (replacement phase). The present work focuses on the replacement phase of crowding, which usually has been carried out by one of the following three approaches: Deterministic, Probabilistic, and Simulated Annealing. These approaches present some limitations regarding the way replacement is conducted. On the one hand, the first two apply the same selective pressure regardless of the problem being solved or the stage of the genetic algorithm. On the other hand, the third does not apply a uniform selective pressure over all the individuals in the population, which makes the control of selective pressure over the generations somewhat difficult. This work presents a Generalized Crowding approach that allows selective pressure to be controlled in a simple way in the replacement phase of crowding, thus overcoming limitations of the other approaches. Furthermore, the understanding of existing approaches is greatly improved, since both Deterministic and Probabilistic Crowding turn out to be special cases of Generalized Crowding. In addition, the temperature parameter used in Simulated Annealing is replaced by a parameter called scaling factor that controls the selective pressure applied. Theoretical analysis using Markov chains and empirical evaluation using Bayesian networks demonstrate the potential of this novel Generalized Crowding approach.
Quark Spin and the Theta-Term for the QCD String

description: We describe a way in which spin of quarks can enter a consistent QCD string theory. We show that the spin factor of the 4d massless, spin 1/2 fermions is related to the self-intersection number of a 2d surfaces immersed in the 4d space. We argue that the latter quantity should appear in a consistent description of the QCD string. We also calculate the chiral anomaly and show that the self-intersection number corresponds to the topological charge $F{\tilde F}$ of QCD.

description: A susceptibility propagation that is constructed by combining a belief propagation and a linear response method is used for approximate computation for Markov random fields. Herein, we formulate a new, improved susceptibility propagation by using the concept of a diagonal matching method that is based on mean-field approaches to inverse Ising problems. The proposed susceptibility propagation is robust for various network structures, and it is reduced to the ordinary susceptibility propagation and to the adaptive Thouless-Anderson-Palmer equation in special cases.

description: Εισαγωγή: Η προετοιμασία των γονέων για την έξοδο του νεογνού από τη Μονάδα Εντατικής Νοσηλείας Νεογνών (ΜΕΝΝ) είναι μία διαδικασία που στοχεύει στην ενίσχυση της αυτοπεποίθησης για την φροντίδα του νεογνού τους, καθώς και στην απόκτηση γνώσεων και δεξιοτήτων για την ετοιμότητά τους και την επιτυχή μετάβαση από τη ΜΕΝΝ στο σπίτι. Σκοπός: Σκοπός της παρούσας συστηματικής ανασκόπησης ήταν η διερεύνηση της ετοιμότητας των γονέων προώρων νεογνών για έξοδο από τη ΜΕΝΝ. Δευτερεύοντες στόχοι ήταν η διερεύνηση των αναγκών των γονέων, των παραγόντων και των παρεμβάσεων που επηρεάζουν την ετοιμότητά τους για την έξοδο από τη ΜΕΝΝ. Μεθοδολογία: Πραγματοποιήθηκε συστηματική ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας από 12-2-21 έως 11-3-2021, για τα έτη 2015-2021, με τη χρήση λέξεων κλειδιών: “ NICU, neonatal intensive care unit, preparation, discharge, readiness, preparing, parents”, σε διεθνείς βάσεις δεδομένων PUBMED, SCOPUS και GOOGLE SCHOLAR. Μετά την αναζήτηση στις βάσεις δεδομένων και την εφαρμογή των φίλτρων προέκυψαν 106 άρθρα και ύστερα από αξιολόγηση συμπεριλήφθηκαν 28 άρθρα. Αποτελέσματα: Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι η πλειοψηφία των γονέων ένιωθαν προετοιμασμένοι για έξοδο. Οι παράγοντες που επηρεάζουν την ετοιμότητα των γονέων για έξοδο είναι η κοινωνικοοινομική κατάσταση, η συμμετοχή της οικογένειας στην φροντίδα του προώρου, η χωροταξική κατανομή της ΜΕΝΝ, η οργάνωση και ποιότητα της διδασκαλίας εξόδου, η εγγραμματοσύνη της υγείας, η γλωσσική επάρκεια, η χρήση τυποποιημένων εργαλείων, ο διαθέσιμος χρόνος των νοσηλευτών, η μη αποτελεσματική επικοινωνία προσωπικού-γονέων σχετικά με την καθημερινή φροντίδα του νεογνού, η ηλικία κύησης και οι διαταραχές ψυχικής υγείας της μητέρας. Οι γονείς έχουν ανάγκες: συναισθηματικές, εκπαιδευτικές, κοινωνικές, οικονομικές και ενημερωτικές. Επίσης επιθυμούν παραμονή στη ΜΕΝΝ όλο το εικοσιτετράωρο, σαφείς γονεϊκούς ρόλους, επαρκή χρόνο προετοιμασίας και συμμετοχή στη φροντίδα του νεογνού τους. Παρεμβάσεις, όπως η τακτική μέτρηση της ετοιμότητας των γονέων με αξιολόγηση των αποτελεσμάτων των μετρήσεων και εφαρμογή αλλαγών στην προετοιμασία εξόδου, εκπαιδευτικές συνεδρίες, εξατομικευμένα προγράμματα προετοιμασίας, εξάσκησης και προσομοίωσης της νεογνικής φροντίδας, εφαρμογές για smartphone βασισμένες στις γονικές ανάγκες και γραφήματα με εκτιμώμενο εύρος ημερομηνιών της εξόδου από το νοσοκομείο, μπορούν να αυξήσουν την γονική ετοιμότητα. Συμπεράσματα: Η ετοιμότητα των γονέων για την έξοδο του νεογνού από τη ΜΕΝΝ επηρεάζεται από διάφορους παράγοντες και προϋποθέτει την εξατομικευμένη αξιολόγηση και ικανοποίηση των αναγκών των γονέων από τη διεπιστημονική ομάδα, καθώς και την εφαρμογή στοχευμένων παρεμβάσεων.
Geometry of sets of quantum maps: a generic positive map acting on a high-dimensional system is not completely positive

description: We investigate the set a) of positive, trace preserving maps acting on density matrices of size N, and a sequence of its nested subsets: the sets of maps which are b) decomposable, c) completely positive, d) extended by identity impose positive partial transpose and e) are superpositive. Working with the Hilbert-Schmidt (Euclidean) measure we derive tight explicit two-sided bounds for the volumes of all five sets. A sample consequence is the fact that, as N increases, a generic positive map becomes not decomposable and, a fortiori, not completely positive. Due to the Jamiolkowski isomorphism, the results obtained for quantum maps are closely connected to similar relations between the volume of the set of quantum states and the volumes of its subsets (such as states with positive partial transpose or separable states) or supersets. Our approach depends on systematic use of duality to derive quantitative estimates, and on various tools of classical convexity, high-dimensional probability and geometry of Banach spaces, some of which are not standard.

description: External temperature change has been shown to modify epigenetic patterns, such as DNA methylation, which regulates gene expression. DNA methylation is heritable, and as such provides a mechanism to convey environmental information to subsequent generations. Studies on epigenetic response to temperature increase are still scarce in wild mammals, even more so studies that compare tissue-specific epigenetic responses. Here, we aim to address differential epigenetic responses on a gene and gene pathway level in two organs, liver and testis. We chose these organs, because the liver is the main metabolic and thermoregulation organ, and epigenetic modifications in testis are potentially transmitted to the F2 generation. We focused on the transmission of DNA methylation changes to naive male offspring after paternal exposure to an ambient temperature increase of 10 degrees C, and investigated differential methylated regions of sons sired before and after the paternal exposure using Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing. We detected both a highly tissue-specific epigenetic response, reflected in genes involved in organ-specific metabolic pathways, and a more general regulation of single genes epigenetically modified in both organs. We conclude that genomes are context-specifically differentially epigenetically regulated in response to temperature increase. These findings emphasize the epigenetic relevance in cell differentiation, which is essential for the specific function(s) of complex organs, and is represented in a diverse molecular regulation of genes and gene pathways. The results also emphasize the paternal contribution to adaptive processes.
