description: In collective robotic systems, the automatic generation of controllers for complex tasks is still a challenging problem. Open-ended evolution of complex robot behaviors can be a possible solution whereby an intrinsic driver for pattern formation and self-organization may prove to be important. We implement such a driver in collective robot systems by evolving prediction networks as world models in pair with action-selection networks. Fitness is given for good predictions which causes a bias towards easily predictable environments and behaviors in the form of emergent patterns, that is, environments of minimal surprise. There is no task-dependent bias or any other explicit predetermination for the different qualities of the emerging patterns. A careful configuration of actions, sensor models, and the environment is required to stimulate the emergence of complex behaviors. We study self-assembly to increase the scenario's complexity for our minimal surprise approach and, at the same time, limit the complexity of our simulations to a grid world to manage the feasibility of this approach. We investigate the impact of different swarm densities and the shape of the environment on the emergent patterns. Furthermore, we study how evolution can be biased towards the emergence of desired patterns. We analyze the resilience of the resulting self-assembly behaviors by causing damages to the assembled pattern and observe the self-organized reassembly of the structure. In summary, we evolved swarm behaviors for resilient self-assembly and successfully engineered self-organization in simulation. In future work, we plan to transfer our approach to a swarm of real robots.

description: We show, within the framework of renormalized nuclear field theory and of the induced reaction surrogate formalism, that the highly debated $^{10}$Li structure, observed in a recent $^9$Li(d,p)$^{10}$Li one--neutron transfer experiment is consistent with or better, requires the presence of a virtual $1/2^+$ state of similar single--particle strength than that of the $1/2^-$ resonance at 0.45$\pm$ 0.03 MeV. Based on continuum spectroscopy self-energy techniques, we find that the physical mechanism responsible for parity inversion in $^{10}_3$Li is the same as that at the basis of the similar phenomenon observed in $^{11}_4$Be and to that needed in $^{11}$Li to have an important $s$--wave ground state component. Furthermore, it is also consistent with the (normal) sequence of the $1p_{1/2}$ and $2s_{1/2}$ levels in the $N=7$ isotones $^{12}_5$B and $^{13}_6$C.

description: The relationship between age at death and biological stress experience is vital to consider, especially in the bioarchaeology of Colonial Latin America, where drastic changes in indigenous health and population size followed European contact. This thesis shows that the long-term and cumulative consequences of stress in Colonial Period north coast Peru were diverse. At Mórrope and Eten (1532-1750), two contemporaneous Colonial Period communities in the Lambayeque region of northern coastal Peru separated by 50 kilometers and marked differences in ecogeographic diversity and Spanish influence, there was variation in stress-associated survivorship. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Mantel-Cox log rank tests show greater mortality risk among males with enamel hypoplasia relative to those without at Eten. Significant differences in survivorship of individuals with and without periostosis at Mórrope show that individuals (especially females) with periostosis lived longer than those without. These findings illustrate complex biocultural outcomes in Colonial Peru.

description: We introduce Disease Knowledge Transfer (DKT), a novel technique for transferring biomarker information between related neurodegenerative diseases. DKT infers robust multimodal biomarker trajectories in rare neurodegenerative diseases even when only limited, unimodal data is available, by transferring information from larger multimodal datasets from common neurodegenerative diseases. DKT is a joint-disease generative model of biomarker progressions, which exploits biomarker relationships that are shared across diseases. Our proposed method allows, for the first time, the estimation of plausible, multimodal biomarker trajectories in Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), a rare neurodegenerative disease where only unimodal MRI data is available. For this we train DKT on a combined dataset containing subjects with two distinct diseases and sizes of data available: 1) a larger, multimodal typical AD (tAD) dataset from the TADPOLE Challenge, and 2) a smaller unimodal Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) dataset from the Dementia Research Centre (DRC), for which only a limited number of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans are available. Although validation is challenging due to lack of data in PCA, we validate DKT on synthetic data and two patient datasets (TADPOLE and PCA cohorts), showing it can estimate the ground truth parameters in the simulation and predict unseen biomarkers on the two patient datasets. While we demonstrated DKT on Alzheimer's variants, we note DKT is generalisable to other forms of related neurodegenerative diseases. Source code for DKT is available online: https://github.com/mrazvan22/dkt.

title: Leadership Legitimation and Political Instability in U.S. Interventions
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation assesses the impact of legitimation on political instability where the United States intervenes to either support or remove an existing leader. Throughout its history, the United States has intervened in other states, often in the name of maintaining stability, to protect its interests. However, at the heart of political instability is a crisis of legitimacy; therefore, understanding how the United States impacts existing or installed leaders’ legitimacy and how this legitimacy impacts political instability is critical for future interventions. This dissertation analyzes 179 cases of U.S. leadership intervention from 1945-2008 and finds that despite positive advances toward rational and performance legitimation and democratization after the intervention, states in which the United States removes a leader experience higher levels of instability than failed attempts to remove a leader. Cases where the United States successfully supported an existing leader had significant increases in democratization and saw a decrease in instability over time. The quantitative analyses are complemented by cases studies of interventions in Chile (1960s-1980s), Iraq (2003), and Afghanistan (2001) to highlight specific strategies the United States takes to build or undermine legitimacy and how these efforts impact political instability.

Interplay of superconductivity and magnetism in strong coupling

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: A model is introduced describing the interplay between superconductivity and spin-ordering. It is characterized by on-site repulsive electron-electron interactions, causing antiferromagnetism, and nearest-neighbor attractive interactions, giving rise to d-wave superconductivity. Due to a special choice for the lattice, this model has a strong-coupling limit where the superconductivity can be described by a bosonic theory, similar to the strongly coupled negative U Hubbard model. This limit is analyzed in the present paper. A rich mean-field phase diagram is found and the leading quantum corrections to the mean-field results are calculated. The first-order line between the antiferromagnetic- and the superconducting phase is found to terminate at a tricritical point, where two second-order lines originate. At these lines, the system undergoes a transition to- and from a phase exhibiting both antiferromagnetic order and superconductivity. At finite temperatures above the spin-disordering line, quantum-critical behavior is found. For specific values of the model parameters, it is possible to obtain SO(5) symmetry involving the spin- and the phase-sector at the tricritical point. Although this symmetry is explicitly broken by the projection to the lower Hubbard band, it survives on the mean-field level, and modes related to a spontaneously broken SO(5) symmetry are present on the level of the random phase approximation in the superconducting phase.

Gluon Polarization in Nucleons

description: In QCD the gauge-invariant gluon polarization Delta G in a nucleon can be defined either in a non-local way as the integral over the Ioffe-time distribution of polarized gluons, or in light-cone gauge as the forward matrix element of the local topological current. We have investigated both possibilities within the framework of QCD sum rules. Although the topological current is built from local fields, we have found that its matrix element retains sensitivity to large longitudinal distances. Because QCD sum rules produce artificial oscillations of the Ioffe-time distribution of polarized glue at moderate and large light-like distances, the calculation of the matrix element of the topological current results in a small value of Delta G(mu^2 = 1 GeV^2) = 0.6 \pm 0.2. In a more consistent approach QCD sum rules are used to describe the polarized gluon distribution only at small light-like distances. Assuming that significant contributions to Delta G arise only from longitudinal length scales not larger than the nucleon size leads to Delta G(mu^2 = 1 GeV^2) = 2 \pm 1.

description: We report the preparation and verification of a genuine 12-qubit entanglement in a superconducting processor. The processor that we designed and fabricated has qubits lying on a 1D chain with relaxation times ranging from 29.6 to 54.6 $μ$s. The fidelity of the 12-qubit entanglement was measured to be above $0.5544\pm0.0025$, exceeding the genuine multipartite entanglement threshold by 21 statistical standard deviations. Our entangling circuit to generate linear cluster states is depth-invariant in the number of qubits and uses single- and double-qubit gates instead of collective interactions. Our results are a substantial step towards large-scale random circuit sampling and scalable measurement-based quantum computing.

description: Recent experiments on aligned DNA show hexatic order with no sign of macroscopic chirality. I make the analogy between smectic liquid crystals and chiral hexatics and show how the absence of chirality cannot occur in a thermodynamic phase of chiral molecules. In addition, I discuss the microscopic origin of chiral mesophases in liquid crystals and show that, within the context of central forces between "atoms" on "molecules", chiral interactions can occur only if there are biaxial correlations between the mesogens. Weak biaxial correlations can therefore lead to small cholesteric pitches.

Die Genomsequenzen dieser Listerien-Isolate sind sehr nah verwandt, so dass davon auszugehen ist, dass die Patienten sich an einer gemeinsamen Quelle infiziert haben. In den Jahren 2014, 2016 und 2017 wurden wenige sporadische Fälle übermittelt, die retrospektiv dem Ausbruch zugeordnet werden konnten. Mitte 2018 gab es einen Anstieg an Fällen (n=21), die durch die Genomsequenzierung am RKI detektiert wurden. Im Jahr 2019 wurden 8 weitere Fälle detektiert, das letzte bekannte Erkrankungsdatum eines gemeldeten Falles ist der 13.07.2019. Im Bericht des Epidemiologischen Bulletins wird weiter darauf hingewiesen, dass die bisher gemeldeten Fälle sich auf 12 Bundesländer verteilen.

description: It is known that Horndeski theories, like many other scalar-tensor gravities, do not support static, spherically symmetric wormholes: they always have either ghosts or gradient instabilities among parity-even linearized perturbations. Here we address the issue of whether or not this no-go theorem is valid in "beyond Horndeski" theories. We derive, in the latter class of theories, the conditions for the absence of ghost and gradient instabilities for non-spherical parity even perturbations propagating in the radial direction. We find, in agreement with existing arguments, that the proof of the above no-go theorem does not go through beyond Horndeski. We also obtain conditions ensuring the absence of ghosts and gradient instabilities for all parity odd modes. We give an example of beyond Horndeski Lagrangian which admits a wormhole solution obeying our (incomplete set of) stability conditions. Even though our stability analysis is incomplete, as we do not consider spherically symmetric parity even modes and parity even perturbations propagating in angular directions, as well as "slow" tachyonic instabilities, our findings indicate that beyond Horndeski theories may be viable candidates to support traversable wormholes.

Instability of a Bose-Einstein Condensate with Attractive Interaction

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)

description: We study the stability of a Bose-Einstein condensate of harmonically trapped atoms with negative scattering length, specifically lithium 7. Our method is to solve the time-dependent nonlinear Schrodinger equation numerically. For an isolated condensate, with no gain or loss, we find that the system is stable (apart from quantum tunneling) if the particle number N is less than a critical number N_c. For N > N_c, the system collapses to high-density clumps in a region near the center of the trap. The time for the onset of collapse is on the order of 1 trap period. Within numerical uncertainty, the results are consistent with the formation of a "black hole" of infinite density fluctuations, as predicted by Ueda and Huang. We obtain numerically N_c approximately 1251. We then include gain-loss mechanisms, i.e., the gain of atoms from a surrounding "thermal cloud", and the loss due to two- and three-body collisions. The number N now oscillates in a steady state, with a period of about 145 trap periods. We obtain N_c approximately 1260 as the maximum value in the oscillations.

description: We give two reasons why we believe that non-central ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions are the place to look for the disoriented chiral condensates (DCC). First, we argue that the most probable quench scenario for the formation of DCC requires non-central collisions. Second, we show by numerical simulations that strong electromagnetic fields of heavy ions can exert a surprisingly large effect on the DCC domain formation through the chiral anomaly. The effect again requires non-central collisions. Interestingly, the result of simulations is consistent with the formation of correlated two domains of the chiral condensate, which are aligned in space, perpendicular to the scattering plane, but misaligned in isospin space.

description: Annihilation process of a pair of vortices in holographic superfluid is numerically simulated. The process is found to consist of two stages which are amazingly separated by vortex size $2r$. The separation distance $δ(t)$ between vortex and anti-vortex as a function of time is well fitted by $α(t_{0}-t)^{n}$, where the scaling exponent $n=1/2$ for $δ(t)>2r$, and $n=2/5$ for $δ(t)<2r$. Then the approaching velocity and acceleration as functions of time and as functions of separation distance are obtained. Thus the attractive force between vortex and anti-vortex is derived as $f(δ)\propto 1/δ^{3}$ for the first stage, and $f(δ)\propto 1/δ^{4}$ for the second stage. In the end, we explained why the annihilation rate of vortices in turbulent superfluid system obeys the two-body decay law when the vortex density is low.

description: Characterising unknown quantum states and measurements is a fundamental problem in quantum information processing. In this Letter, we provide a novel scheme to self-test local quantum systems using non-contextuality inequalities. Our work leverages the graph-theoretic framework for contextuality introduced by Cabello, Severini, and Winter, combined with tools from mathematical optimisation that guarantee the unicity of optimal solutions. As an application, we show that the celebrated Klyachko-Can-Biniciogglu-Shumovsky inequality and its generalisation to contextuality scenarios with odd n-cycle compatibility relations admit robust self-testing.

title: The Original Wind Band Commissions of "The President's Own" United States Marine Band
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Historically, the act of commissioning has been a primary method of bringing new works into the wind band repertoire. It is essential to the growth and development of the genre and the ensemble itself. Throughout the twentieth and into the twenty-first century, conductors and composers have collaborated together to establish a robust canon of music for concert bands of all skill levels. These collaborations have been initiated by groups like the Goldman Band, the American Wind Symphony, the American Bandmasters Association, the College Band Directors National Association, and numerous college, high school, and professional bands across the country. America’s oldest, continuously active professional musical organization, “The President’s Own” United States Marine Band, has been actively commissioning new works for wind band since 1980. Although the reputation of the band is world-renowned, the music that it has commissioned deserves more attention. Since 1798, “The President’s Own” has been the standard-bearer for wind band music. In addition to its historical and ceremonial functions, the Marine Band is a leader in concert programming and musical execution. The commissioning of new literature is a relatively new objective in Marine Band history, but it has made a significant contribution to the canon of wind band repertoire. The United States Marine Band has commissioned twenty-five original works for wind band. The composers they have engaged represent a wide array of backgrounds, compositional style, and experience. The commissions from “The President’s Own” made significant impacts on the composer’s careers and reputations. In addition, the composers experience working with the Marine Band directors and musicians allowed them to write challenging and substantial new works. These pieces have elevated the quality and depth of band repertoire. Also, the composers have been inspired to write more music for band and encourage others to do the same.

Josephson vortex in a ratchet potential: Theory

description: We propose a new type of Josephson vortex ratchet. In this system a Josephson vortex moves in a periodic asymmetric potential under the action of a deterministic or random force with zero time average. For some implementations the amplitude of the potential can be controlled during the experiment, thus, allowing to tune the performance of the system and build rocking as well as flashing ratchets. We present a model describing the dynamics of the fluxon in such a system, show numerical simulation results, and discuss the differences between conventional and Josephson vortex ratchets. The investigation of this system may lead to the development of the fluxon rectifier -- a device which produces a quantized dc voltage from colored noise (non-equilibrium fluctuations).

description: The interface between the two insulating oxides SrTiO$_3$ and LaAlO$_3$ gives rise to a two-dimensional electron system with intriguing transport phenomena, including superconductivity, which are controllable by a gate. Previous measurements on the (001) interface have shown that the superconducting critical temperature, the Hall density, and the frequency of quantum oscillations, vary nonmonotonically and in a correlated fashion with the gate voltage. In this paper we experimentally demonstrate that the (111) interface features a qualitatively distinct behavior, in which the frequency of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations changes monotonically, while the variation of other properties is nonmonotonic albeit uncorrelated. We develop a theoretical model, incorporating the different symmetries of these interfaces as well as electronic-correlation-induced band competition. We show that the latter dominates at (001), leading to similar nonmonotonicity in all observables, while the former is more important at (111), giving rise to highly curved Fermi contours, and accounting for all its anomalous transport measurements.

title: An Investigation of Individual Flow State Experience and Satisfaction: The Case of Scenario Paintball

description: This research was undertaken to examine flow as a motivational concept in scenario paintball. Flow theory, as presented by Csikszentmihalyi (1990), is a psychological state of mind and focus found in optimally performing individuals in sports and other activities. Flow comprises nine different dimensions resulting in an optimal experience; these include: challenge-skill balance, action-awareness merging, clear goals, unambiguous feedback, concentration on the task at hand, sense of control, loss of self-consciousness, transformation of time, and autotelic experience. Using the Flow State Scale the dimensions of flow were measured in participating scenario paintball players, as were behavior and demographic characteristics (e.g., players’ years of experience, team affiliation, satisfaction, and social interactions). The difference among respondents on the basis of demographic characteristics was found to be minimal in terms of flow with the exception of the dimension of having clear goals. The researcher found that respondents who played on scenario teams scored significantly higher in the clear goals dimension of flow. The researcher was able to identify significant correlations between flow and satisfaction. The satisfaction of individual play, and with paintball venues, field set-up, level of performance by one’s team, and the game’s level of challenge were significantly correlated to flow scores. All participants scored high levels of flow and satisfaction with no differences on the basis of experience or team affiliation. Given the high and consistent rates of flow reported by respondents, it is understood that scenario paintball is a gripping and visceral activity that offers flow aspects to all ages and skill sets and ultimately impacts the satisfaction level of players.

description: 40. Rhipicephalus kochi D ö nitz, 1905.
 Afrotropical: 1) Angola, 2) Burundi, 3) Democratic Republic of the Congo, 4) Kenya, 5) Malawi, 6) Mozambique, 7) South Africa, 8) Tanzania, 9) Zambia, 10) Zimbabwe (Clifford et al. 1983, Walker et al. 2000, Kolonin 2009, Horak et al. 2018, Sili et al. 2021).
 Several records of Rhipicephalus kochi have been published under the name Rhipicephalus neavei, a synonym of Rhipicephalus kochi (Walker et al. 2000). Additionally, many diagnoses of Rhipicephalus kochi before the redescription of this species by Clifford et al. (1983) resulted from confusion with other Rhipicephalus species (Keirans 1985 b, Walker et al. 2000), and these are not included in this analysis.
 Burridge (2011) described a broader distribution of Rhipicephalus kochi than that provided here, but Walker et al. (2000) stated that records from outside the countries listed above (Angola excepted) almost certainly represent species other than Rhipicephalus kochi, and this view is accepted here.
 Farooqi et al. (2017) allegedly found Rhipicephalus kochi in Pakistan, but this is probably a misidentification.

Relating local structures, energies, and occurrence probabilities in a two-dimensional silica network

description: Recently, it became possible to experimentally generate and characterize a very thin silica system on a substrate which can be basically described as a 2D random network. The key structural properties, in particular related to the ring statistics, could be numerically reproduced by performing molecular dynamics simulations with an appropriately chosen 2D force field. Using a maximum entropy formulation it is shown that the probability distribution of the individual rings and triplets can be related to the ring and triplet energies, respectively, obtained from the simulations. Using additional Lagrange parameters, the correct average properties of random networks are guaranteed. In agreement with previous work, based on distributions of complementary rings and triplets, respectively, one finds a Boltzmann-type relation albeit with an effective temperature which largely deviates from the bath temperature. Furthermore, it is shown that the ring and triplet energies can be estimated based on the properties of their average inner angles. This calculation supports, on a quantitative level, the previously suggested angle mismatch theory. It suggests that correlations among adjacent rings originate from the net mismatch in the inner ring angles in a triplet of rings. By taking into account an average effect from the surrounding rings of a triplet, an even better estimate of the correlations can be provided. That approach is also applied to estimate of the Aboav-Wearie parameter.
