description: This article presents two studies conducted with an affective dialogue system in which text-based system-user communication was used to model, generate, and present different affective and social interaction scenarios. We specifically investigated the influence of interaction context and roles assigned to the system and the participants, as well as the impact of pre-structured social interaction patterns that were modelled to mimic aspects of 'social exclusion' scenarios. The results of the first study demonstrate that both the social context of the interaction and the roles assigned to the system influence the system evaluation, interaction patterns, textual expressions of affective states, as well as emotional self-reports. The results observed for the second study show the system's ability to partially exclude a participant from a triadic conversation without triggering significantly different affective reactions or a more negative system evaluation. The experimental evidence provides insights on the perception, modelling and generation of affective and social cues in artificial systems that can be realized in different modalities, including the text modality, thus delivering valuable input for applying affective dialogue systems as tools for studying affect and social aspects in online communication.

description: All the 16F levels are unbound by proton emission. To date the four low-lying 16F levels below 1 MeV have been experimentally identified with well established spin-parity values and excitation energies with an accuracy of 4 - 6 keV. However, there are still considerable discrepancies for their level widths. The present work aims to explore these level widths through an independent method. The angular distributions of the 15N(7Li, 6Li)16N reaction leading to the first four states in 16N were measured using a high-precision Q3D magnetic spectrograph. The neutron spectroscopic factors and the asymptotic normalization coefficients for these states in 16N were then derived based on distorted wave Born approximation analysis. The proton widths of the four low-lying resonant states in 16F were obtained according to charge symmetry of strong interaction.

description: The ubiquity of plastic debris in marine environments raises the question, what impacts do plastics have on our marine microbiota? To investigate this, we applied bacterial 16S rRNA gene and fungal ITS2 region sequencing to identify changes in microbial biofilm community compositions on marine plastic, over time. We sampled biofilm on virgin linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), nylon-6 (PA) and glass after 2, 6 and 12 weeks of constant immersion in Te Whakaraupō-Lyttelton Harbour, Aotearoa-New Zealand. Of the prokaryotes, Proteobacteria and Bacteroidetes were predominant in all samples and Verrucomicrobiota were most abundant in mature biofilms. Microbial communities on the three substrate types were significantly distinct from those in the surrounding seawater, regardless of age, but not between attachment substrates. Bacterial communities occurring two weeks after immersion and fungal communities at six weeks were found to vary more among substrate types than at other times; however, no significant substrate-specific communities were identified overall. Taxa closely related to previously reported plastic-biodegrading species were found in very low abundance across all substrates, including on the glass slides. Our findings suggest that microorganisms do not selectively persist on the LLDPE or PA surfaces to gain significant direct metabolic benefit, instead using these plastics primarily as an attachment surface on which they form generalist biofilm communities.

Robust entanglement of an optical pulse with the oscillator is predicted, as well as strong quantum steering between the optical and mechanical systems. Importantly, our probabilistic quantum simulation method uses the positive-P technique, which is scalable to large Hilbert spaces.

description: This article deals with the links between the enaction paradigm and artificial intelligence. Enaction is considered a metaphor for artificial intelligence, as a number of the notions which it deals with are deemed incompatible with the phenomenal field of the virtual. After explaining this stance, we shall review previous works regarding this issue in terms of artifical life and robotics. We shall focus on the lack of recognition of co-evolution at the heart of these approaches. We propose to explicitly integrate the evolution of the environment into our approach in order to refine the ontogenesis of the artificial system, and to compare it with the enaction paradigm. The growing complexity of the ontogenetic mechanisms to be activated can therefore be compensated by an interactive guidance system emanating from the environment. This proposition does not however resolve that of the relevance of the meaning created by the machine (sense-making). Such reflections lead us to integrate human interaction into this environment in order to construct relevant meaning in terms of participative artificial intelligence. This raises a number of questions with regards to setting up an enactive interaction. The article concludes by exploring a number of issues, thereby enabling us to associate current approaches with the principles of morphogenesis, guidance, the phenomenology of interactions and the use of minimal enactive interfaces in setting up experiments which will deal with the problem of artificial intelligence in a variety of enaction-based ways.
Higgs Mass and Gravity Waves in Standard Model False Vacuum Inflation
Creators: name: Notari, Alessio
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In previous publications we have proposed that Inflation can be realized in a second minimum of the Standard Model Higgs potential at energy scales of about $10^{16}$ GeV, if the minimum is not too deep and if a mechanism which allows a transition to the radiation dominated era can be found. This is provided, {\it e.g.}, by scalar-tensor gravity models or hybrid models. Using such ideas we had predicted the Higgs boson mass to be of about $126\pm 3$ GeV, which has been confirmed by the LHC, and that a possibly measurable amount of gravity waves should be produced. Using more refined recent theoretical calculations of the RGE we show that such scenario has the right scale of Inflation only for small Higgs mass, lower than about 124 GeV, otherwise gravity waves are overproduced. The precise value is subject to some theoretical error and to experimental errors on the determination of the strong coupling constant. Such an upper bound corresponds also to the recent claimed measurement by BICEP2 of the scale of inflation through primordial tensor modes. Finally we show that introducing a moderately large non-minimal coupling for the Higgs field the bound can shift to larger values and be reconciled with the LHC measurements of the Higgs mass.

description: We perform Differential Emission Measure (DEM) analysis of an M7.7 flare that occurred on 2012 July 19 and was well observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) aboard the Solar Dynamic Observatory. Using the observational data with unprecedented high temporal and spatial resolution from six AIA coronal passbands, we calculate the DEM of the flare and derive the time series of maps of DEM-weighted temperature and emission measure (EM). It is found that, during the flare, the highest EM region is located in the flare loop top with a value varying between 8.4 10^28 cm^-5 and 2.5 10^30 cm^-5. The temperature there rises from 8 MK at about 04:40 UT (the initial rise phase) to a maximum value of 13 MK at about 05:20 UT (the hard X-ray peak). Moreover, we find a hot region that is above the flare loop top with a temperature even up to 16 MK. We also analyze the DEM properties of the reconnection site. The temperature and density there are not as high as that in the loop top and the flux rope, indicating that the main heating may not take place inside the reconnection site. In the end, we examine the dynamic behavior of the flare loops. Along the flare loop, both the temperature and the EM are the highest in the loop top and gradually decrease towards the footpoints. In the northern footpoint, an upward force appears with a biggest value in the impulsive phase, which we conjecture originates from chromospheric evaporation.

The compressional beta effect: a source of zonal winds in planets?

description: Giant planets like Jupiter and Saturn feature strong zonal wind patterns on their surfaces. Although several different mechanisms that may drive these jets have been proposed over the last decades, the origin of the zonal winds is still unclear. Here, we explore the possibility that the interplay of planetary rotation with the compression and expansion of the convecting fluid can drive multiple deep zonal jets by a compressional Rhines-type mechanism, as originally proposed by Ingersoll and Pollard (1982). In a certain limit, this deep mechanism is shown to be mathematically analogous to the classical Rhines mechanism possibly operating at cloud level. Jets are predicted to occur on a compressional Rhines length $l_R = (2 Ω\langle H_ρ^{-1} \rangle v_{jet}^{-1} )^{-1/2}$, where $Ω$ is the angular velocity, $\langle H_ρ^{-1} \rangle$ is the mean inverse density scale height and $v_{jet}$ is the typical jet velocity. Two-dimensional numerical simulations using the anelastic approximation reveal that this mechanism robustly generates jets of the predicted width, and that it typically dominates the dynamics in systems deeper than $O(l_R)$. Potential vorticity staircases are observed to form spontaneously and are typically accompanied by unstably stratified buoyancy staircases. The mechanism only operates at large rotation rates, exceeding those typically reached in three-dimensional simulations of deep convection in spherical shells. Applied to Jupiter and Saturn, the compressional Rhines scaling reasonably fits the available observations. Interestingly, even weak vertical density variations such as those in the Earth core can give rise to a large number of jets, leading to fundamentally different flow structures than predicted by the Boussinesq models typically used in this context.

On the role of simplicity in science

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: History and Philosophy of Physics (physics.hist-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Simple assumptions represent a decisive reason to prefer one theory to another in everyday scientific praxis. But this praxis has little philosophical justification, since there exist many notions of simplicity, and those that can be defined precisely strongly depend on the language in which the theory is formulated. The language dependence is a natural feature - to some extent - but it is also believed to be a fatal problem, because, according to a common general argument, the simplicity of a theory is always trivial in a suitably chosen language. But, this trivialization argument is typically either applied to toy-models of scientific theories or applied with little regard for the empirical content of the theory. This paper shows that the trivialization argument fails, when one considers realistic theories and requires their empirical content to be preserved. In fact, the concepts that enable a very simple formulation, are not necessarily measurable, in general. Moreover, the inspection of a theory describing a chaotic billiard shows that precisely those concepts that naturally make the theory extremely simple are provably not measurable. This suggests that - whenever a theory possesses sufficiently complex consequences - the constraint of measurability prevents too simple formulations in any language. This explains why the scientists often regard their assessments of simplicity as largely unambiguous. In order to reveal a cultural bias in the scientists' assessment, one should explicitly identify different characterizations of simplicity of the assumptions that lead to different theory selections. General arguments are not sufficient.
Dielectric-Modulated Impact-Ionization MOS (DIMOS) Transistor as a Label-free Biosensor

description: In this letter, we propose a dielectric-modulated Impact-Ionization MOS (DIMOS) transistor based sensor for application in label-free detection of biomolecules. Numerous reports exist on the experimental demonstration of nanogap-embedded FET-based biosensors, but an I-MOS based biosensor has not been reported previously. The concept of a dielectric-modulated I-MOS based biosensor is presented in this letter based on TCAD simulation study. The results indicate a high sensitivity to the presence of biomolecules even at small channel lengths. In addition, a low variability of the sensitivity to the charges on the biomolecule is observed. The high sensitivity, dominance of dielectric-modulation effects and operation at even small channel lengths makes the DIMOS biosensor a promising alternative for CMOS-based sensor applications.

description: This thesis explores the marital satisfaction of Malaysian Christians and its contributing factors. Research in this area with a focus on married Malaysian Christians is limited. Therefore, this study provides a deeper understanding of Malaysian Christian marital satisfaction through the use of assessment scales and open-ended questions. The results suggest that religious beliefs, family impact and interactions within marriage contribute to how Malaysian Christians experience marital satisfaction and develop views, values and attitudes within marriage. The outcomes bring awareness and inspiration to married Malaysian Christians, guide the planning of Church-based programmes and provide insights to marriage counsellors and family therapists.

description: The JAK2V617F mutation triggers constitutive activation of the JAK2 signalling pathway via STAT3 and STAT5 to drive expression of genes that govern disease phenotypes in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). The current JAK2 inhibitors (JAK2i) are effective in alleviating symptoms but do not reduce the JAK2 mutant allele burden and may lead to re-activation of compensatory resistance mechanisms. This thesis sought to identify novel targets by deciphering the transcriptional regulation of the central JAK-STAT signalling pathway in human erythroid and JAK2V617F-positive MPN cell models. The findings will aid in the identification of better biomarkers and targeted therapies for MPNs.

description: We present an analysis of three archival Chandra observations of the black hole V4641 Sgr, performed during a decline into quiescence. The last two observations in the sequence can be modeled with a simple power-law. The first spectrum, however, is remarkably similar to spectra observed in Seyfert-2 active galactic nuclei, which arise through a combination of obscuration and reflection from distant material. This spectrum of V4641 Sgr can be fit extremely well with a model including partial-covering absorption and distant reflection. This model recovers a Gamma = 2 power-law incident spectrum, typical of black holes at low Eddington fractions. The implied geometry is plausible in a high-mass X-ray binary like V4641 Sgr, and may be as compelling as explanations invoking Doppler-split line pairs in a jet, and/or unusual Comptonization. We discuss potential implications and means of testing these models.

description: We propose a computationally efficient statistical method to obtain distributional properties of annual maximum 24 hour precipitation on a 1 km by 1 km regular grid over Iceland. A latent Gaussian model is built which takes into account observations, spatial variations and outputs from a local meteorological model. A covariate based on the meteorological model is constructed at each observational site and each grid point in order to assimilate available scientific knowledge about precipitation into the statistical model. The model is applied to two data sets on extreme precipitation, one uncorrected data set and one data set that is corrected for phase and wind. The observations are assumed to follow the generalized extreme value distribution. At the latent level, we implement SPDE spatial models for both the location and scale parameters of the likelihood. An efficient MCMC sampler which exploits the model structure is constructed, which yields fast continuous spatial predictions for spatially varying model parameters and quantiles.

description: Sleep-wake disturbance is a significant complaint in women receiving chemotherapy for breast cancer. However, sleep problems often go unrecognised during active cancer treatment. If left untreated, cancer-related sleep disturbance may lead to worse psychiatric and physical consequences that can continue well beyond cancer treatment completion. This work contributes to the understanding of sleep-wake disturbance during chemotherapy and presents innovative approaches in targeting poor sleep and daytime impairment during this period. Results generally support the utility for disseminating accessible, evidence-based interventions early in the cancer process.

description: Around mid-1970s W. M. Tulczyjew discovered an approach which brings the two formalisms under a common geometric roof: the dynamics of a particle with configuration space $X$ is determined by a Lagrangian submanifold $D$ of $TT^*X$ (the total tangent space of $T^*X$), and the description of $D$ by its Hamiltonian $H$: $T^*X\to \mathbb R$ (resp. its Lagrangian $L$: $TX\to\mathbb R$) yields the Hamilton (resp. Euler-Lagrange) equation. It is reported here that Tulczyjew's approach also works for the dynamics of (charged) particles in gauge fields, in which the role of the total cotangent space $T^*X$ is played by Sternberg phase spaces. In particular, it is shown that, for a particle in a gauge field, the equation of motion can be locally presented as the Euler-Lagrange equation for a Lagrangian which is the sum of the ordinary Lagrangian $L(q, \dot q)$, the Lorentz term, and an extra new term which vanishes whenever the gauge group is abelian. A charge quantization condition is also derived, generalizing Dirac's charge quantization condition from $\mathrm{U}(1)$ gauge group to any compact connected gauge group.

description: Organisational health literacy (OHL) ensures health services are easy for people to access, navigate, understand, and use so people can better look after their health. Soft-systems methodology and realist methodology were used to explore how organisations can improve their OHL, through an analysis of what works for whom, in what circumstances, and why. The results provide guidance to organisation on how to implement OHL. The research found that organisations need to have multiple supporting contexts, such as executive commitment, staff with expertise and shared responsibility, and they need to implement the work in a specific sequence to achieve OHL outcomes.

description: Carbonate apatite (CA) nanoparticles (NPs) basically composed of Ca2+, PO43- and CO32-, tend to self-aggregate, resulting in insufficient drug binding efficiency and off-target distribution to healthy tissues. To overcome the limitation, CA NPs were modified with Fe3+ and Mg2+ and subsequently, with anionic Krebs’ cycle intermediates and lactate to modulate the particles size, surface charge, and morphology. The resultant small size, monodisperse pH-sensitive NPs of Fe/Mg-CA demonstrated increased binding affinity for Doxorubicin (anti-cancer drug) and thereby led to enhanced antiproliferative effect, cellular uptake, tumor-targeted drug delivery, and reduced systemic toxicity and tumor growth in a breast cancer syngeneic mouse model.

Long-range correlations in a locally driven exclusion process

description: We show that the presence of a driven bond in an otherwise diffusive lattice gas with simple exclusion interaction results in long-range density-density correlation in its stationary state. In dimensions $d>1$ we show that in the thermodynamic limit this correlation decays as $C(r,s)\sim (r^2+s^2)^{-d}$ at large distances $r$ and $s$ away from the drive with $|r-s|>>1$. This is derived using an electrostatic analogy whereby $C(r,s)$ is expressed as the potential due to a configuration of electrostatic charges distributed in $2d$-dimension. At bulk density $ρ=1/2$ we show that the potential is that of a localized quadrupolar charge. At other densities the same is correct in leading order in the strength of the drive and is argued numerically to be valid at higher orders.

description: [Abridged] We present a physical model for the evolution of the ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function (LF) of high-z galaxies taking into account in a self-consistent way their chemical evolution and the associated evolution of dust extinction. The model yields good fits of the UV and Lyman-alpha LFs at z>~2. The weak evolution of both LFs between z=2 and z=6 is explained as the combined effect of the negative evolution of the halo mass function, of the increase with redshift of the star formation efficiency, and of dust extinction. The slope of the faint end of the UV LF is found to steepen with increasing redshift, implying that low luminosity galaxies increasingly dominate the contribution to the UV background at higher and higher redshifts. The observed range of UV luminosities at high-z implies a minimum halo mass capable of hosting active star formation M_crit

description: We present a whole series of novel methods to alleviate the sign problem of the Fermionic Shadow Wave Function in the context of Variational Monte Carlo. The effectiveness of our new techniques is demonstrated on the example of liquid 3He. We found that although the variance is substantially reduced, the gain in efficiency is restricted by the increased computational cost. Yet, this development not only extends the scope of the Fermionic Shadow Wave Function, but also facilitates highly accurate Quantum Monte Carlo simulations previously thought not feasible.

description: This deliverable presents the first version of a generic federated OOP architecture, supporting interconnection and interoperability of national registries at the EU level. The architecture is in line with existing EU frameworks (EIRA, EIF), takes into account the e-SENS European Interoperability Reference Architecture and is based on the CEF DSIs and the Building Blocks consolidated by the e-SENS project. The first version focuses on interoperability at business and information level, to be extended iteratively in the future versions. The deliverable includes, among others, the requirements, the initial building blocks, and the interface specifications of the generic federated architecture. The overall logic of the deliverable emerges from the principle of reusing existing frameworks and building blocks provided by CEF, e-SENS, and other initiatives. As the first step, an initial inventory of existing e- Government Building Blocks is proposed. Then the principles of selection of building blocks for OOP applications and several types of high-level view of the architecture are provided. Finally, an analysis of selected building blocks with respect to their relevance, applicability, sustainability, need for further development, and external interfaces is presented. The next steps are to develop the architecture in more detail and to elaborate other tasks of TOOP T2.1 – development of a framework for specific OOP architectures and providing deployment profiles for building blocks.

description: A rare association of Takayasu’s disease and inflammatory bowel disease in Gabon Takayasu’s disease is a vasculitis affecting large vessels, particularly the aorta and its main branches, for which the role of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has been suggested as a trigger by a hypersensitivity reaction. Inflammatory bowel diseases, which in sub-Saharan Africa can be confused with parasitic diseases, can rarely be found in association with Takayasu’s disease. We report an association between both diseases in the Gabonese population. Association rare d’une maladie de Takayasu et d’une maladie inflammatoire chronique intestinale au Gabon La maladie de Takayasu est une vascularite affectant les vaisseaux de gros calibre, particulièrement l’aorte et ses branches principales, pour laquelle le rôle de Mycobacterium tuberculosis a été évoqué comme déclencheur par une réaction d’hypersensibilité. Les maladies inflammatoires chroniques intestinales peuvent être cliniquement confondues en Afrique subsaharienne avec les maladies parasitaires. Nous rapportons une association rare de maladie de Takayasu avec une maladie inflammatoire chronique intestinale dans la population gabonaise.

Wildfire Prediction to Inform Fire Management: Statistical Science Challenges

description: Wildfire is an important system process of the earth that occurs across a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. A variety of methods have been used to predict wildfire phenomena during the past century to better our understanding of fire processes and to inform fire and land management decision-making. Statistical methods have an important role in wildfire prediction due to the inherent stochastic nature of fire phenomena at all scales. Predictive models have exploited several sources of data describing fire phenomena. Experimental data are scarce; observational data are dominated by statistics compiled by government fire management agencies, primarily for administrative purposes and increasingly from remote sensing observations. Fires are rare events at many scales. The data describing fire phenomena can be zero-heavy and nonstationary over both space and time. Users of fire modeling methodologies are mainly fire management agencies often working under great time constraints, thus, complex models have to be efficiently estimated. We focus on providing an understanding of some of the information needed for fire management decision-making and of the challenges involved in predicting fire occurrence, growth and frequency at regional, national and global scales.

description: In past years, triggered by their successful realizations in electromagnetics, invisible cloaks have experienced rapid development and have been widely pursued in many different fields, though so far only for a single physical system. In this letter we made an unprecedented experimental attempt to show a multidisciplinary framework designed on the basis of two different physical equations. The proposed structure has the exceptional capability to simultaneously control two different physical phenomena according to the predetermined evolution scenarios. As a proof of concept, we implemented an electric-thermal bifunctional device that can guide both electric current and heat flux "across" a strong 'scatter' (air cavity) and restore their original diffusion directions as if nothing exists along the paths, thus rending dual cloaking effects for objects placed inside the cavity. This bifunctional cloaking performance is also numerically verified for a point-source nonuniform excitation. Our results and the fabrication technique presented here will help broaden the current research scope for multiple disciplines and may pave a prominent way to manipulate multiple flows and create new functional devices, e.g., for on-chip applications.
