Coset models and D-branes in group manifolds
Creators: name: Orlando, Domenico
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We conjecture the existence of a duality between heterotic closed strings on homogeneous spaces and symmetry-preserving D-branes on group manifolds, based on the observation about the coincidence of the low-energy field description for the two theories. For the closed string side we also give an explicit proof of a no-renormalization theorem as a consequence of a hidden symmetry and infer that the same property should hold true for the higher order terms of the DBI action.
Disease control as an optimization problem

description: In the context of epidemiology, policies for disease control are often devised through a mixture of intuition and brute-force, whereby the set of logically conceivable policies is narrowed down to a small family described by a few parameters, following which linearization or grid search is used to identify the optimal policy within the set. This scheme runs the risk of leaving out more complex (and perhaps counter-intuitive) policies for disease control that could tackle the disease more efficiently. In this article, we use techniques from convex optimization theory and machine learning to conduct optimizations over disease policies described by hundreds of parameters. In contrast to past approaches for policy optimization based on control theory, our framework can deal with arbitrary uncertainties on the initial conditions and model parameters controlling the spread of the disease, and stochastic models. In addition, our methods allow for optimization over policies which remain constant over weekly periods, specified by either continuous or discrete (e.g.: lockdown on/off) government measures. We illustrate our approach by minimizing the total time required to eradicate COVID-19 within the Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered (SEIR) model proposed by Kissler \emph{et al.} (March, 2020).

description: Despite the rapid progress of automatic speech recognition (ASR) technologies targeting normal speech, accurate recognition of dysarthric and elderly speech remains highly challenging tasks to date. It is difficult to collect large quantities of such data for ASR system development due to the mobility issues often found among these users. To this end, data augmentation techniques play a vital role. In contrast to existing data augmentation techniques only modifying the speaking rate or overall shape of spectral contour, fine-grained spectro-temporal differences between dysarthric, elderly and normal speech are modelled using a novel set of speaker dependent (SD) generative adversarial networks (GAN) based data augmentation approaches in this paper. These flexibly allow both: a) temporal or speed perturbed normal speech spectra to be modified and closer to those of an impaired speaker when parallel speech data is available; and b) for non-parallel data, the SVD decomposed normal speech spectral basis features to be transformed into those of a target elderly speaker before being re-composed with the temporal bases to produce the augmented data for state-of-the-art TDNN and Conformer ASR system training. Experiments are conducted on four tasks: the English UASpeech and TORGO dysarthric speech corpora; the English DementiaBank Pitt and Cantonese JCCOCC MoCA elderly speech datasets. The proposed GAN based data augmentation approaches consistently outperform the baseline speed perturbation method by up to 0.91% and 3.0% absolute (9.61% and 6.4% relative) WER reduction on the TORGO and DementiaBank data respectively. Consistent performance improvements are retained after applying LHUC based speaker adaptation.

A key to the spectral variability of prompt GRBs
Creators: name: Medvedev, Mikhail V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We demonstrate that the rapid spectral variability of prompt GRBs is an inherent property of radiation emitted from shock-generated, highly anisotropic small-scale magnetic fields. We interpret the hard-to-soft evolution and the correlation of the soft index $α$ with the photon flux observed in GRBs as a combined effect of temporal variation of the shock viewing angle and relativistic aberration of an individual thin, instantaneously illuminated shell. The model predicts that about a quarter of time-resolved spectra should have hard spectra, violating the synchrotron $α=-2/3$ limit. The model also naturally explains why the peak of the distribution of $α$ is at $α\sim-1$. The presence of a low-energy break in the jitter spectrum at oblique angles also explains the appearance of a soft X-ray component in some GRBs and their paucity. We emphasize that our theory is based solely on the first principles and contains no ad hoc (phenomenological) assumptions.

Исследование сосредоточено на том, как системы здравоохранения и медицинского образования как социальные институты отражаются на языке. Гипотеза состоит в том, что лингвистическое сравнительное исследование может дать более глубокое понимание иностранной культуры, включая ее медицинские и образовательные отрасли. Целью исследования является изучение сходства и различий британской и российской систем здравоохранения и образования путем определения основных словарных наименований, среди которых указаны основные профессиональные наименования британских и российских врачей, людей, которые оказывают медицинскую помощь и лиц, имеющих медицинское образование. Процедура исследования включала несколько этапов. Первый этап включал отбор английского словарного корпуса, состоящего из 15 существительных, которые называли британских врачей и занимаемые ими должности в области медицинского образования. На следующем этапе каждый элемент был ассоциирован с английским определением и русским переводом, если таковой имелся. Далее английские и русские термины сравнивались в отношении их определений и эквивалентов перевода. Выводы: лингвистические методы и исследования в целом, а также сравнительный лингвистический анализ в частности могут быть эффективно использованы в развитии профессиональных компетенций, а также в расширении культурных горизонтов. Словарный запас и определения можно было бы преподавать на занятиях по английскому языку для российских студентов-медиков.

description: In binary-black-hole systems where the black-hole spins are misaligned with the orbital angular momentum, precession effects leave characteristic modulations in the emitted gravitational waveform. Here, we investigate where in the parameter space we will be able to accurately identify precession, for likely observations over coming LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observing runs. Despite the large number of parameters that characterise a precessing binary, we perform a large scale systematic study to identify the impact of each source parameter on the measurement of precession. We simulate a fiducial binary at moderate mass-ratio, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and spins, such that precession will be clearly identifiable, then successively vary each parameter while holding the remaining parameters fixed. As expected, evidence for precession increases with signal-to noise-ratio (SNR), higher in-plane spins, more unequal component masses, and higher inclination, but our study provides a quantitative illustration of each of these effects, and informs our intuition on parameter dependencies that have not yet been studied in detail, for example, the effect of varying the relative strength of the two polarisations, the total mass, and the aligned-spin components. We also measure the "precession SNR" $ρ_p$, which was introduced in Refs[1,2] to quantify the signal power associated with precession. By comparing $ρ_p$ with both Bayes factors and the recovered posterior distributions, we find it is a reliable metric for measurability that accurately predicts when the detected signal contains evidence for precession.

Further, we examine system performance in the low-count regime, likely to be encountered in the tomography of high-dimensional systems. Finally, we implement our quantum state reconstruction method on an IBM Q quantum computer, and compare against both unconstrained and constrained MLE state reconstruction.

description: Chemotaxis is the physical phenomenon that bacteria adjust their motions according to chemical stimulus. A classical model for this phenomenon is a kinetic equation that describes the velocity jump process whose tumbling/transition kernel uniquely determines the effect of chemical stimulus on bacteria. The model has been shown to be an accurate model that matches with bacteria motion qualitatively. For a quantitative modeling, biophysicists and practitioners are also highly interested in determining the explicit value of the tumbling kernel. Due to the experimental limitations, measurements are typically macroscopic in nature. Do macroscopic quantities contain enough information to recover microscopic behavior? In this paper, we give a positive answer. We show that when given a special design of initial data, the population density, one specific macroscopic quantity as a function of time, contains sufficient information to recover the tumbling kernel and its associated damping coefficient. Moreover, we can read off the chemotaxis tumbling kernel using the values of population density directly from this specific experimental design. This theoretical result using kinetic theory sheds light on how practitioners may conduct experiments in laboratories.

description: The Drell-Yan (DY) processes with unpolarized colliding hadrons and with the single transversally polarized hadron are considered. The possibility of direct (without any model assumptions) extraction of both transversity and its accompanying T-odd parton distribution functions (PDF) is discussed. For DY processes measurements planned at GSI the preliminary estimations demonstrate that it is quite real to extract both transversity and its accompanying T-odd PDF in the PAX conditions.

We introduce a bias-variance decomposition of the prediction error, using which it is shown that in the asymptotics the bias term dominates the variability term, providing an explanation of the gap. A geometric exposition is provided for intuitive understanding. The theoretical and geometric results are illustrated through a numerical example.

description: Full quantum-mechanical description of electrons moving in 3D structures with unidirectional periodic modulation subject to tilted magnetic fields requires an extensive numerical calculation. To understand magneto-oscillations in such systems it is in many cases sufficient to use the quasi-classical approach, in which the zero-magnetic-field Fermi surface is considered as a magnetic-field-independent rigid body in k-space and periods of oscillations are related to extremal cross-sections of the Fermi surface cut by planes perpendicular to the magnetic-field direction. We point out cases where the quasi-classical treatment fails and propose a simple tight-binding fully-quantum-mechanical model of the superlattice electronic structure.

Согласно федеральным образовательным стандартам студенты-медики изучают анатомию, биологию, химию и другие базовые предметы, чтобы понять, как работает человеческий организм. Тем не менее, есть гуманитарные науки, в том числе английский язык, которые дают дополнительные знания помимо конкретных медицинских наук. Для этого есть несколько важных причин. Вот почему в данной статье автор обращает внимание на основные цели и преимущества изучения медицинского английского языка, а также освещает некоторые проблемы, которые могут возникнуть в ходе этого процесса. Каждая страна имеет свою историю, язык, уникальные национальные и культурные особенности. В то же время исследования в области медицины и здравоохранения имеют аспекты, общие для всех стран. Основными задачами здравоохранения и медицины являются профилактика и лечение заболеваний, укрепление здоровья и продление жизни. Это глобальные цели. Автор статьи утверждает, что английский, наряду с профессиональными компетенциями, может быть эффективным инструментом для достижения этих целей. Медицина это международная наука, и, говоря на одном языке, врачи могут успешно решать глобальные проблемы и угрозы для здоровья.

description: Conservation and consistency are fundamental properties of discretizations of systems of hyperbolic conservation laws. Here, these concepts are extended to the realm of iterative methods by formally defining locally conservative and flux consistent iterations. These concepts are of both theoretical and practical importance: Based on recent work by the authors, it is shown that pseudo-time iterations using explicit Runge-Kutta methods are locally conservative but not necessarily flux consistent. An extension of the Lax-Wendroff theorem is presented, revealing convergence towards weak solutions of a temporally retarded system of conservation laws. Each equation is modified in the same way, namely by a particular scalar factor multiplying the spatial flux terms. A technique for enforcing flux consistency, and thereby recovering convergence, is presented. Further, local conservation is established for all Krylov subspace methods, with and without restarts, and for Newton's method under certain assumptions on the discretization. Thus it is shown that Newton-Krylov methods are locally conservative, although not necessarily flux consistent. Numerical experiments with the 2D compressible Euler equations corroborate the theoretical results. Further numerical investigations of the impact of flux consistency on Newton-Krylov methods indicate that its effect is case dependent, and diminishes as the number of iterations grow.

description: In this paper we study the thermodynamics of black branes at quantum scales. We analyze both perturbative and non-perturbative corrections to the thermodynamics of such black branes. It will be observed that these corrections will modify the relation between the entropy and area of these black branes. This will in turn modify their specific heat, and thus their stability. So, such corrections can have important consequences for the stability of black branes at quantum scales. We also analyze the effect of these perturbative and non-perturbative quantum corrections on various other thermodynamic quantities. Then, we obtain the metric for the quantum corrected geometry for black branes.

description: A local linear kernel estimator of the regression function x\mapsto g(x):=E[Y_i|X_i=x], x\in R^d, of a stationary (d+1)-dimensional spatial process {(Y_i,X_i),i\in Z^N} observed over a rectangular domain of the form I_n:={i=(i_1,...,i_N)\in Z^N| 1\leq i_k\leq n_k,k=1,...,N}, n=(n_1,...,n_N)\in Z^N, is proposed and investigated. Under mild regularity assumptions, asymptotic normality of the estimators of g(x) and its derivatives is established. Appropriate choices of the bandwidths are proposed. The spatial process is assumed to satisfy some very general mixing conditions, generalizing classical time-series strong mixing concepts. The size of the rectangular domain I_n is allowed to tend to infinity at different rates depending on the direction in Z^N.

description:

This article focuses on Bram Stoker’s landmark novel Dracula (1897), in order to better assess how the phenomenology of the monstrous emerges as inextricably interfused with a late-Victorian socio-cultural background. Attention is drawn to a discursive framework pivoting on scientific discoveries and medical research, as well as degeneration theories and the motif of atavistic regression. Taking its cue from recent trends in literary criticism, this paper also examines how the resort to a cutting-edge technological equipment, such as Mina’s portable typewriter and Dr Seward’s phonograph, can be instrumental in abating Dracula’s vampiric threat.

subject: dynamic panel model

description: Traditionally, farm households have relatively high saving and low marginal propensity to consume (MPC). In the last decades, this seems to have changed. To investigate these matters, a dynamic consumption model is estimated using a GMM-system estimator and a panel of 258 Norwegian farm households followed from 1976-1997. The main findings are that the MPC of farm income is lower than for off-farm income and that average MPC is low but increasing over time in these households. This may imply that some of the observed reduction in farm saving is explained by reduced need for precautionary saving.

description: Based on the recent paper hep-th/0503045, we derive a formula of calculating conserved charges in even dimensional asymptotically {\it locally} anti-de Sitter space-times by using the definition of Wald and Zoupas. This formula generalizes the one proposed by Ashtekar {\it et al}. Using the new formula we compute the masses of Taub-Bolt-AdS space-times by treating Taub-Nut-AdS space-times as the reference solution. Our result agrees with those resulting from "background subtraction" method or "boundary counterterm" method. We also calculate the conserved charges of Kerr-Taub-Nut-AdS solutions in four dimensions and higher dimensional Kerr-AdS solutions with Nut charges. The mass of (un)wrapped brane solutions in any dimension is given.

description: Given that existing food eco-labels are still not well defined in consumers' experience, there is potential for new labels to generate more confusion. Consumers incur fixed costs to learn about a label's meaning. Market shares for existing certifications may be eroded by perceptions that new products are good substitutes for them. The eco-label certifier must respond with information that reduces these costs or lose consumer and producer confidence in the label. Using a model of spatial competition in attribute space, the effect of search costs and educational expenditures on market share and price for competing certifiers is simulated. The results show that educational spending and/or improvements in efficiency of educational spending increase market share when consumer search costs are positive. Underspending on consumer education reduces the price a firm is able to charge within its market niche. The consumer and producer surplus effects of new certifier entry are calculated using a simulation model of market segmentation. Under the assumptions made, segmentation reduces producer surplus while keeping consumer surplus about the same. Market prices decline due to associated search costs as share is captured from the conventional segment by eco-labels. Within segments, consumers gain at the expense of producers, even if market share is maintained by existing eco-labelers after entry of new labels, and even if consumer search costs decline.

description:

“Olalla” (1885) by Robert Louis Stevenson has usually been neglected by critics interested in late-Victorian culture. Preceding of just a few weeks the publication of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), this novella has been judged as a derivative work, a story whose interest lies in its different sources, ranging from Edward Bulwer Lytton’s A Strange Story to E.A. Poe’s tales. My analysis aims to prove that in writing this work, Stevenson is probably drawing inspiration from the imagery exploited by some members of the Aesthetic Movement, among them Walter Pater and Edward Burne-Jones.

description: Ground states of local Hamiltonians are of key interest in many-body physics and also in quantum information processing. Efficient verification of these states are crucial to many applications, but very challenging. Here we propose a simple, but powerful recipe for verifying the ground states of general frustration-free Hamiltonians based on local measurements. Moreover, we derive rigorous bounds on the sample complexity by virtue of the quantum detectability lemma (with improvement) and quantum union bound. Notably, the number of samples required does not increase with the system size when the underlying Hamiltonian is local and gapped, which is the case of most interest. As an application, we propose a general approach for verifying Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) states on arbitrary graphs based on local spin measurements, which requires only a constant number of samples for AKLT states defined on various lattices. Our work is of interest not only to many tasks in quantum information processing, but also to the study of many-body physics.

description:

This article explores the way in which at the fin de siècle, Doyle, Stevenson and Wells chose to set their works on marginal islands in order to spatially escape not only from the bleak reality of the modern world, but also from the constraints of realism, and to reconnect with more imaginative forms of writing. It thus aims to shed new light on the relationship between geographical space and literary aesthetics, and to demonstrate that the island space is especially conducive to generic excursions out of realism and towards the fantastic, the marvellous and even the monstrous, leading to the creation of eminently hybrid literary texts.

description: Cotton farmers in the Piedmont region incorrectly believe conservation systems with winter cover crop and no-till cultivation yield less than conventional systems. We model the effect of organic matter on productivity and show how ignoring this effect causes returns to be underestimated. Farmers with imperfect information underinvest in residue management.

description: The central mean subspace (CMS) and iterative Hessian transformation (IHT) have been introduced recently for dimension reduction when the conditional mean is of interest. Suppose that X is a vector-valued predictor and Y is a scalar response. The basic problem is to find a lower-dimensional predictor η^TX such that E(Y|X)=E(Y|η^TX). The CMS defines the inferential object for this problem and IHT provides an estimating procedure. Compared with other methods, IHT requires fewer assumptions and has been shown to perform well when the additional assumptions required by those methods fail. In this paper we give an asymptotic analysis of IHT and provide stepwise asymptotic hypothesis tests to determine the dimension of the CMS, as estimated by IHT. Here, the original IHT method has been modified to be invariant under location and scale transformations. To provide empirical support for our asymptotic results, we will present a series of simulation studies. These agree well with the theory. The method is applied to analyze an ozone data set.

Realism and the Supernatural in Ghost Stories of the  Fin de Siècle
Creators: name: Freeman, Nick
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description:

This article examines the uses of realism in fin-de-siècle ghost stories by Vernon Lee, Ella D’Arcy, Rudyard Kipling, and Gertrude Atherton, It argues that forms of realist practice were central to the sophistication of these stories, and draws connections between their use in supernatural fiction and the work of modernists such as Joseph Conrad. Examining works from the late 1880s to 1905, it maintains that the dismissal of realism by modernists such as Woolf underestimated its importance and its versatility, and that the ghost story’s importance as a vehicle for literary experiment is insufficiently acknowledged.

Multivariate trace estimation in constant quantum depth

description: There is a folkloric belief that a depth-$Θ(m)$ quantum circuit is needed to estimate the trace of the product of $m$ density matrices (i.e., a multivariate trace), a subroutine crucial to applications in condensed matter and quantum information science. We prove that this belief is overly conservative by constructing a constant quantum-depth circuit for the task, inspired by the method of Shor error correction. Furthermore, our circuit demands only local gates in a two dimensional circuit -- we show how to implement it in a highly parallelized way on an architecture similar to that of Google's Sycamore processor. With these features, our algorithm brings the central task of multivariate trace estimation closer to the capabilities of near-term quantum processors. We instantiate the latter application with a theorem on estimating nonlinear functions of quantum states with "well-behaved" polynomial approximations.

description: In 1986, the American Soybean Association filed a Section 301 petition under the Trade Act of 1974, alleging that European Community oilseed subsidies nullified and impaired benefits of previous trade concessions, specifically the tariff binding of 1962. Two bilateral trade agreements were negotiated to remedy the dispute, the Blair House Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding on Oilseeds. The impacts of these trade agreements were simulated using a three region trade model. Results indicated that neither supply constraints nor penalties for overproduction will contribute to a recovery of U.S. soybean exports to the EC. (Missing 6 tables)

description: One of the most debated issues in the theoretical modeling of cosmic reionization is the impact of small-mass gravitationally-bound structures. We carry out the first numerical investigation of the role of such sterile `minihaloes', which serve as self-shielding screens of ionizing photons. Minihaloes are too small to be properly resolved in current large-scale cosmological simulations, and thus we estimate their effects using a sub-grid model, considering two cases that bracket their effect within this framework. In the `extreme suppression' case in which minihalo formation ceases once a region is partially ionized, their effect on cosmic reionization is modest, reducing the volume-averaged ionization fraction by an overall factor of less than 15%. In the other extreme, in which minihalo formation is never suppressed, they delay complete reionization as much as Delta z~2, in rough agreement with the results from a previous semi-analytical study by the authors. Thus, depending on the details of the minihalo formation process, their effect on the overall progress of reionization can range from modest to significant, but the minihalo photon consumption is by itself insufficient to force an extended reionization epoch.

Temperature dependence of the damping parameter in the ferrimagnet Gd$_3$Fe$_5$O$_{12}$

description: The damping parameter $α_{\text{FM}}$ in ferrimagnets defined according to the conventional practice for ferromagnets is known to be strongly temperature dependent and diverge at the angular momentum compensation temperature, where the net angular momentum vanishes. However, recent theoretical and experimental developments on ferrimagnetic metals suggest that the damping parameter can be defined in such a way, which we denote by $α_{\text{FiM}}$, that it is free of the diverging anomaly at the angular momentum compensation point and is little dependent on temperature. To further understand the temperature dependence of the damping parameter in ferrimagnets, we analyze several data sets from literature for a ferrimagnetic insulator, gadolinium iron garnet, by using the two different definitions of the damping parameter. Using two methods to estimate the individual sublattice magnetizations, which yield results consistent with each other, we found that in all the used data sets, the damping parameter $α_{\text{FiM}}$ does not increase at the angular compensation temperature and shows no anomaly whereas the conventionally defined $α_{\text{FM}}$ is strongly dependent on the temperature.

“Our Filthy Liues in Swines are Shewd”: Deformed Pigs, Religious Disquiet and Propaganda in Elizabethan England
Creators: name: Baratta, Luca
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2020

description:

This article takes into account some broadsheets published in London between 1562 and 1570, a span of time in which the birth of deformed pigs is read in the light of the conflicts that destabilised the auroral decade of Elizabeth I’s reign. In this period, both Protestants and Catholics fostered a symbolic imagery, as a result of which deformed animals (and humans) were deciphered instrumentally as signs of God’s wrath against the religious and political enemy. The pig – a dirty and obscene beast – embodied further meanings when its anatomy exceeded the laws of nature, and could be interpreted as a mirror of moral and social non-conformity.
