description: Considered one of the founding fathers of integral geometry, Luis Santaló has contributed to various areas of mathematics. His work has applications in number theory, in the theory of differential equations, in stochastic geometry, in functional analysis, and also in theoretical physics. Between the 1950's and the 1970's, he wrote a series of papers on general relativity and on the attempts at generalizing Einstein's theory to formulate a unified field theory. His main contribution in this subject was to provide a classification theorem for the plethora of tensors that were populating Einstein's generalized theory. This paper, which is the transcript of the conferences delivered by the authors in occasion of the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Luis Santaló's birth, revisits his work on theoretical physics.

A revision of the evolutionary relationships of Crocodylia
Creators: name: Rio, Jonathan Paul
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: First appearing in the latest Cretaceous, Crocodylia is a clade of mostly semi-aquatic, predatory reptiles, defined as all of the descendants of the last common ancestor of the extant alligators, caimans, crocodiles, and gharials. Crocodylian phylogeny has been extensively studied using molecular and morphological datasets; however, numerous systematic problems exist, notably the disagreement between these datasets over the affinities of the extant gharials, Gavialis gangeticus and Tomistoma schlegelii. I constructed a new morphological dataset for Crocodylia, through (1) an anatomical reappraisal of a ‘basal’ crocodylian taxon, Diplocynodon hantoniensis; (2) a critical reappraisal of published character data matrices; and (3) extensive, first-hand observations of a global sample of crocodylians. This comprises the most taxonomically comprehensive crocodylian dataset to date (144 OTUs and 330 characters) including a new, illustrated character list, modifications to the construction and scoring of most characters, and 45 novel characters. Nine phylogenetic analyses under maximum parsimony compared the effects of weighting strategies and the treatment of quantitative characters. In agreement with the molecular hypothesis, and for the first time based on morphology alone, Gavialis is recovered as more closely related to Tomistoma than to any other extant crocodylian. This result is recovered in all analyses; however, those using continuous characters and extended implied weighting (with a high k-value) produce the most reliable and stratigraphically congruent topologies. Nevertheless, temporal incongruence between morphological and molecular datasets exists, indicating that several putative gavialids require reappraisal. New interrelationships are discussed along with a comprehensive review of their evolutionary and biogeographic implications, including: (1) support for a North American origin of Caimaninae in the latest Cretaceous; (2) recovery of the early Paleogene South American taxon Eocaiman as a ‘basal’ alligatoroid; and (3) modifications to the taxonomic content of Mekosuchinae, suggesting biogeographic affinities of this Australasian clade with latest Cretaceous–early Paleogene Asian crocodyloids.
Live imaging of monocyte subsets in immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis reveals distinct phenotypes and effector functions
Creators: name: Turner-Stokes, Tabitha
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN) caused by deposition of immune complexes within the glomerular capillary wall is a common cause of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and an important cause of end-stage renal failure. Current treatment with generalised immunosuppression is suboptimal in terms of efficacy, and is associated with significant side effects and long-term toxicity. Monocytes and macrophages are important in mediating crescentic GN, but little work has been done to phenotype the subpopulations involved and determine their respective contributions to glomerular inflammation. I developed a live glomerular imaging model using confocal microscopy in order to monitor intravascular monocyte subset behaviour during nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN) in a novel WKYhCD68- GFP monocyte/macrophage reporter rat strain. Additionally, I used flow cytometry and gene expression analysis to analyse ex vivo the glomerular leukocyte infiltrate during NTN. Using live glomerular imaging, I showed that non-classical monocytes surveyed the glomerular endothelium via the b2 integrin LFA-1 in the steady state. During NTN, nonclassical monocytes were recruited first, but subsequent recruitment and retention of classical monocytes was associated with glomerular damage and the onset of proteinuria. Importantly, monocytes recruited to the glomerular vasculature during NTN did not undergo transendothelial migration. This finding suggests that inflammation in crescentic GN caused by immune complex formation within the glomerulus is predominantly intravascular, driven by dynamic interactions between intravascular blood monocytes and the endothelium. Glomerular endothelial cells and non-classical monocytes overexpressed a distinct chemokine axis, which may orchestrate inflammatory myeloid cell recruitment and expression of damage mediators. Lewis rats, that are inherently resistant to experimental GN, demonstrated reduced recruitment of classical monocytes during NTN, suggesting a role for CD16 in mediating glomerular damage. In conclusion, my data suggest that monocyte subsets with distinct phenotypes and effector functions may be important in driving inflammation in experimental crescentic GN caused by immune complex deposition within the glomerulus. LFA-1 dependent endothelial surveillance by non-classical monocytes may detect immune complexes through CD16, orchestrating the inflammatory response through intravascular retention of classical monocytes, which results in glomerular damage and proteinuria.

 Description. Phacelo-flabellate colony with corallites arranged in short series of up to 6 calices; monocentric corallites compressed; septa straight, S1–S3 nearly equal in thickness, often regularly alternate in length; according to their length 4 septal orders can be distinguished.
 Remarks. In the type material of E. karstica from the Montian of Slovenia, the wall seems to be parathecal and the number of endothecal dissepiments appear to be much more numerous than in E. calyculata. However, in several places the presence of a septothecal wall can be seen in E. carstica (see Plate 21, Fig. 2b, upper margin of central corallite series). In addition, in the upper surface view of the colony of E. calyculata the presence of numerous vesicular dissepiments, which correspond to the endothecal development in E. carstica, can be seen (Plate 21, Fig. 5a, e.g., lower right corallite and corallite on the left). Therefore, their synonmy is suggested.
 Type locality of species. Oligocene of Italy (Monte Grumi).
 Distribution. Upper Danian of Pakistan, Montian of Slovenia, Middle-Upper Eocene of Spain (Catalonia), Oligocene of Italy.

Vortices near surfaces of Bose-Einstein condensates

description: The theory of vortex motion in a dilute superfluid of inhomogeneous density demands a boundary layer approach, in which different approximation schemes are employed close to and far from the vortex, and their results matched smoothly together. The most difficult part of this procedure is the hydrodynamic problem of the velocity field many healing lengths away from the vortex core. This paper derives and exploits an exact solution of this problem in the two-dimensional case of a linear trapping potential, which is an idealization of the surface region of a large condensate. It thereby shows that vortices in inhomogeneous clouds are effectively 'dressed' by a non-trivial distortion of their flow fields; that image vortices are not relevant to Thomas-Fermi surfaces; and that for condensates large compared to their surface depths, the energetic barrier to vortex penetration disappears at the Landau critical velocity for surface modes.

description: We present a ground-based transmission spectrum and comprehensive retrieval analysis of the highly inflated Saturn-mass planet WASP-39b. We obtained low-resolution spectra ($R \approx 400$) of a transit of WASP-39b using the ACAM instrument on the 4.2m William Herschel Telescope as part of the LRG-BEASTS survey. Our transmission spectrum is in good agreement with previous ground- and space-based observations of WASP-39b, and covers a wavelength range of 4000-9000A. Previous analyses of this exoplanet have retrieved water abundances that span more than four orders of magnitude, which in turn lead to conclusions of a subsolar or highly supersolar atmospheric metallicity. In order to determine the cause of the large discrepancies in the literature regarding WASP-39b's atmospheric metallicity, we performed retrieval analyses of all literature data sets. Our retrievals, which assume equilibrium chemistry, recovered highly supersolar metallicities for all data sets. When running our retrievals on a combined spectrum, spanning 0.3-5$μ$m, we recovered an atmospheric metallicity of $282^{+65}_{-58} \times$ solar. We find that stellar activity has a negligible effect on the derived abundances and instead conclude that different assumptions made during retrieval analyses lead to the reported water abundances that differ by orders of magnitude. This in turn has significant consequences for the conclusions we draw. This is the fourth planet to be observed as part of the LRG-BEASTS survey, which is demonstrating that 4m class telescopes can obtain low-resolution transmission spectra with precisions of around one atmospheric scale height.

description: We present new 29-Si NMR spectra in URu2Si2 for varying temperature T, and external field H. On lowering T, the systematics of the low-field lineshape and width reveal an extra component (lambda) to the linewidth below T_N ~ 17 K not observed previously. We find that lambda is magnetic-field independent and dominates the low-field lineshape for all orientations of H with respect to the tetragonal c axis. The behavior of lambda indicates a direct relationship between the 29-Si spin and the transition at T_N, but it is inconsistent with a coupling of the nuclei to static antiferromagnetic order/disorder of the U-spin magnetization. This leads us to conjecture that lambda is due to a coupling of 29-Si to the system's hidden-order parameter. A possible coupling mechanism involving charge degrees of freedom and indirect nuclear spin/spin interactions is proposed. We also propose further experiments to test for the existence of this coupling mechanism.

No deviation from the Standard Model expectation is observed and upper limits on the single top production cross sections are derived. The combination with data collected at lower centre-of-mass energies yields an upper limit on the branching ratio BR(t -> Zc)+BR(t -> Zu) 14%, for BR(t -> γc)+BR(t -> γu)= 0 and mt=174 GeV/c2.

description: We study the three-body scattering hypervolume $D$ of atoms whose scattering length $a$ is on the order of or smaller than the typical range $r_{\mathrm{vdW}}$ of the van der Waals attraction. We find that the real part of $D$ behaves universally in this weakly interacting regime ($|a|/r_{\mathrm{vdW}}\lesssim 1$) in the absence of trimer resonances. This universality originates from hard-spherelike collisions that dominate elastic three-body scattering. We use this result to make quantitative predictions for the thermodynamics and elementary excitations of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in the vicinity of a quantum tricritical point, including quantum droplets stabilized by effective three-body interactions.

These peaks reveal strong c-axis correlations involving the CuO_2 bilayers, show a non-uniform increase below \~220 K with a plateau for ~100-160 K, and appear to saturate in the superconducting phase. We interpret this unconventional T-dependence of the ``oxygen-ordering'' peaks as a manifestation of a charge density wave in the CuO_2 planes coupled to the oxygen-vacancy ordering.

description: Retinoblastoma (RB) is initiated by mutation in both alleles of RB1 gene. However, few cases may occur even in the absence of RB1 mutation suggesting the role of genes other than RB1. The current study was planned to utilize targeted exome sequencing in Indian RB patients affected with unilateral non-familial RB. 75 unilateral RB patients below 5 years of age were enrolled. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood and tumor tissue. From peripheral blood DNA, all coding and exon/intron regions were amplified using PCR and direct sequencing. Cases which did not harbor pathogenic variants in peripheral blood DNA were further screened for mutations in their tumor tissue DNA using targeted exome sequencing. Three pathogenicity prediction tools (Mutation Taster, SIFT, and PolyPhen-2) were used to determine the pathogenicity of non-synonymous variations. An in-house bioinformatics pipeline was devised for the mutation screening by targeted exome sequencing. Protein modeling studies were also done to predict the effect of the mutations on the protein structure and function. Using the mentioned approach, we found two novel variants (g.69673_69674insT and g.48373314C>A) in RB1 gene in peripheral blood DNA. We also found novel variants in eight genes (RB1, ACAD11, GPR151, KCNA1, OTOR, SOX30, ARL11, and MYCT1) that may be associated with RB pathogenesis. The present study expands our current knowledge regarding the genomic landscape of RB and also highlights the importance of NGS technologies to detect genes and novel variants that may play an important role in cancer initiation, progression, and prognosis.

Time-dependent treatment of cosmic-ray spectral steepening due to turbulence driving
Creators: name: Pohl, Martin
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2021

description: Cosmic-ray acceleration at non-relativistic shocks relies on scattering by turbulence that the cosmic rays drive upstream of the shock. We explore the rate of energy transfer from cosmic rays to non-resonant Bell modes and the spectral softening it implies. Accounting for the finite time available for turbulence driving at supernova-remnant shocks yields a smaller spectral impact than found earlier with steady-state considerations. Generally, for diffusion scaling with the Bohm rate by a factor $\eta$, the change in spectral index is at most $\eta$ divided by the Alfvénic Mach number of the thermal sub-shock. For $M_\mathrm{A}\lesssim 50$ it is well below this limit. Only for very fast shocks and very efficient cosmic-ray acceleration the change in spectral index may reach $0.1$. For standard SNR parameters it is negligible. Independent confirmation is derived by considering the synchrotron energy losses of electrons: if intense nonthermal multi-keV emission is produced, the energy loss, and hence the spectral steepening, is very small for hadronic cosmic rays that produce TeV-band gamma-ray emission.

The origin of this anomaly is traced back to the presence of coherent structures within the flow, the vortex cores and the region far from where vortices are located. In the vicinity of these regions stickiness is observed and the motion of tracers is quasi-ballistic. The chaotic nature of the underlying flow dictates the choice for thorough analysis of transport properties. Passive tracer motion is analyzed by measuring the mutual relative evolution of two nearby tracers. Some tracers travel in each other vicinity for relatively large times. This is related to an hidden order for the tracers which we call jets. Jets are localized and found in sticky regions. Their structure is analyzed and found to be formed of a nested sets of jets within jets. The analysis of the jet trapping time statistics shows a quantitative agreement with the observed transport exponent.

description: This paper shows that the dynamic properties of the pollution-income relationship under an optimal pollution tax depends on three key factors, namely the degree of temporal and inter-temporal flexibility in consumption and the elasticity of substitution among production inputs. This paper derives general conditions for eluding the limits to growth showing that they require rather stringent assumptions which the existing literature has failed to identify.

 Dimensions. d= 2–3 mm, juveniles as small as 1.8 mm; c-c=2.5– 4 mm; s=18–24, s (juveniles)=12.
 Description. Ramose-multicolumnar to submassive, cerioid to subplocoid; septa generally 24 in number, arranged in 3 cycles in 6 systems, alternating in length and thickness; S1 extend to corallite center; pali before S1; columella generally small and weakly developed.
 Remarks. In the specimen figured as Goniopora reussiana (Duncan, 1865) (which is the holotype of Goniopora trechmanni Wells, 1934) on Plate, Fig. 3, the corallites are generally not closely united but rather are separated by a porous coenosteum. In this feature the specimen shows great resemblance to the genus Actinacis d’Orbigny, however, the septal arrangement is bilateral, pali are present, and in areas in which corallites are more densely spaced, cerioid polyp integration is found. Therefore, the specimen is grouped with the genus Goniopora.

Interlayer pair tunneling and gap anisotropy in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$

Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: Recent ARPES measurement observed a large $ab$-axis gap anisotropy, $Δ(0,π)/Δ(π,0)=1.5$, in clean YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$. This indicates that some sub-dominant component may exist in the $d_{x^2-y^2}$-wave dominant gap. We propose that the interlayer pairing tunneling contribution can be determined through the investigation of the order parameter anisotropy. Their potentially observable features in transport and spin dynamics are also studied.

description: We present a framework to control and track the observables of a general solid state system driven by an incident laser field. The main result is a non-linear equation of motion for tracking an observable, together with a constraint on the size of expectations which may be reproduced via tracking. Among other applications, this model provides a potential route to the design of laser fields which cause photo-induced superconductivity in materials above their critical temperature. As a first test, the strategy is used to make the expectation value of the current conform to an arbitrary function under a range of model parameters. Additionally, using two reference spectra for materials in the conducting and insulating regimes respectively, the tracking algorithm is used to make each material mimic the optical spectrum of the other.

description: The addition of commodities to financial portfolios and resulting weight adjustments may create volatility linkages between commodity and financial markets, especially during financial crises. Also, biofuel mandates are suspected to integrate agricultural and energy markets. We calculate directional pairwise range-based volatility spillover indices (Diebold and Yilmaz, 2012) for corn, wheat, soybeans, crude oil, equity, real estate, treasury notes and U.S. dollar exchange rates between 06/1998 and 12/2013. During the recent financial crisis, volatility spillovers from equity and real estate to commodities rise to unprecedented levels. Yet, we find no indication of a parallel increase of volatility linkages between agricultural and crude oil markets.

description: A two-dimensional (2D) assembly of noninteracting, temperature-dependent, pre-formed Cooper pairs in chemical/thermal equilibrium with unpaired fermions is examined in a binary boson-fermion statistical model as the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) singularity temperature $T_{c}$ is approached from above. Compared with BCS theory (which is {\it not} a BEC theory) substantially higher $T_{c}$'s are obtained without any adjustable parameters, that fall roughly within the range of empirical $T_{c}$'s for quasi-2D cuprate superconductors.

description: The paper investigates the potential impact of the EAC (a South-South Regional grouping) on trade creation and diversion. The paper seeks to establish whether the EAC Regional Trade Agreement has diverted or created trade using an expanded (augmented) gravity model. The paper departs from the conventional estimation approach that uses average combined trade flows as the dependent variable which is prone to errors and uses exports. We estimate static and dynamic random effects models using a panel data set from 2001 to 2011 on seventy countries that trade mainly with the EAC partner states. Results suggest that indeed the implementation of the EAC treaty has created trade contrary to widely held views that South- South RTAs largely divert trade. There is thus evidence that the EAC, a south-south RTA has been a more trade creating than trade diverting as espoused in the literature. The paper explains the possible measures that have helped generate the trade underscored; formulation and implementation of EAC medium term development strategies, removal of internal tariffs and adoption of a CET structure. The paper further highlights that although progress has been made in other areas, there are challenges that need to be addressed to deepen the EAC integration: persistence of NTB; lack of a common policy with regard to partner states’ trade policies to non-partner states; the lack of standardized customs formalities; the lack of harmonized procedures; and different approaches to investment and export promotion. It is recommended that; the region adopts a legally binding approach to NTBs, harmonizes trade policies and standardizes documentation and procedures.
Assessing Practitioner Beliefs about Software Defect Prediction

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Just because software developers say they believe in "X", that does not necessarily mean that "X" is true. As shown here, there exist numerous beliefs listed in the recent Software Engineering literature which are only supported by small portions of the available data. Hence we ask what is the source of this disconnect between beliefs and evidence?. To answer this question we look for evidence for ten beliefs within 300,000+ changes seen in dozens of open-source projects. Some of those beliefs had strong support across all the projects; specifically, "A commit that involves more added and removed lines is more bug-prone" and "Files with fewer lines contributed by their owners (who contribute most changes) are bug-prone". Most of the widely-held beliefs studied are only sporadically supported in the data; i.e. large effects can appear in project data and then disappear in subsequent releases. Such sporadic support explains why developers believe things that were relevant to their prior work, but not necessarily their current work. Our conclusion will be that we need to change the nature of the debate with Software Engineering. Specifically, while it is important to report the effects that hold right now, it is also important to report on what effects change over time.

description: The purpose of this paper is to determine the socioeconomic factors that influence the behavior of adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) by Quebec grain farmers. Using an econometric model of discrete choice, ordered logit model, the results show that majority of Quebec grain producers are practicing IPM. Seven explanatory variables, such as amount of IPM information received, lack of weed control knowledge, level of environmental concern, perception that IPM is an organic production, need for monetary incentives to adopt, numbers of years as a producer, education level appear to be the determinants of the producers' decision process. Nevertheless, there was a gap between those who believe they are practicing IPM and those who actually do. IPM is quite misunderstood; producers often equated it with organic production practices. Increased information campaigns are needed to teach appropriate IPM pest identification practices. In fact, producer organizations appear to be an ideal structure for increasing IPM information dissemination because of the level of trust shared among producers. Most producers worried that IPM practice might reduce yields; therefore, 75% believe that financial assistance is needed before they would more widely adopt IPM. Level of agricultural training plays a significant role in IPM adoption. The foundations of IPM practices should be taught as early as possible in existing agricultural education programs.

description: Let $q$ be a unimodular quadratic form over a field $K$. Pfister's famous local--global principle asserts that $q$ represents a torsion class in the Witt group of $K$ if and only if it has signature $0$, and that in this case, the order of Witt class of $q$ is a power of $2$. We give two analogues of this result to systems of quadratic forms, the second of which applying only to nonsingular pairs. We also prove a counterpart of Pfister's theorem for finite-dimensional $K$-algebras with involution, generalizing a result of Lewis and Unger.

description: The deliverable elaborates and implements a Standardization Plan, based on the relevant standards (existing or under development), and provides the other WPs input for further exploitation. This will ensure that project results are aligned with current regulations and on-going standardisation activities. The Standardization Plan outlines the standardization roadmap for application of the Digital Twin concept in building and construction sector, based on the investigation of the standardization landscape, the standardization gaps identified using an online survey, and on the standardization needs of ASHVIN consortium partners. Its final goal is to pave the way for a possible future European standard addressing Digital Twin technology in building, bridge, and industrial construction. This will contribute to the development of unified practices in the construction industry.
