description: The colours of surfaces in a scene may not appear constant with a change in the colour of the illumination. Yet even when colour constancy fails, human observers can usually discriminate changes in lighting from changes in surface reflecting properties. This operational ability has been attributed to the constancy of perceived colour relations between surfaces under illuminant changes, in turn based on approximately invariant spatial ratios of cone photoreceptor excitations. Natural deviations in these ratios may, however, lead to illuminant changes being misidentified. The aim of this work was to test whether such misidentifications occur with natural scenes and whether they are due to failures in relational colour constancy. Pairs of scene images from hyperspectral data were presented side-by-side on a computer-controlled display. On one side, the scene underwent illuminant changes and on the other side, it underwent the same changes but with images corrected for any residual deviations in spatial ratios. Observers systematically misidentified the corrected images as being due to illuminant changes. The frequency of errors increased with the size of the deviations, which were closely correlated with the estimated failures in relational colour constancy.

description: We study the entropy flux in the stationary state of a finite one-dimensional sample S connected at its left and right ends to two infinitely extended reservoirs at distinct temperatures T1, T2 and chemical potentials mu1, mu2. The sample is a free lattice Fermi gas confined to a box [0, L] with energy operator -Δ+ v. The Landauer-Büttiker formula expresses the steady state entropy flux in the coupled system in terms of scattering data. We study the behavior of this steady state entropy flux in the limit L->infinity and relate persistence of transport to norm bounds on the transfer matrices of the limiting half-line Schrödinger operator h. A natural conjecture is that the set of energies at which transport persists in this limit is precisely the essential support of the absolutely continuous spectrum of h. We show that this conjecture is equivalent to the Schrödinger conjecture in spectral theory of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators, thus giving a physically appealing interpretation to the Schrödinger conjecture.

description: Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) caught educators worldwide by surprise. Adequate guidance for teaching, learning, and assessment practices with GenAI from expert individuals and organizations is emerging; at the same time, understanding the ethical implications of AI is now an urgent matter with no definite answer. To contribute to the scholarly and practitioner-oriented dialogues in this area, this workshop invites participants to discuss GenAI and its capabilities and limitations. Participants will also identify some ethical uses of GenAI for teaching, learning and assessment. This workshop will also address academic integrity concerns as part of GenAI use and examine the information literacy, digital literacy, and critical thinking skills that could be essential for students in an AI world. Participants will also have opportunities to interact with GenAI tools through a Turing test experience and a teaching and learning artifact activity.

description: Parameterised Post-Newtonian Cosmology (PPNC) is a theory-agnostic framework for testing gravity in cosmology, which connects gravitational physics on small and large scales in the Universe. It is a direct extension of the Parameterised Post-Newtonian (PPN) approach to testing gravity in isolated astrophysical systems, and therefore allows constraints on gravity from vastly different physical regimes to be compared and combined. We investigate the application of this framework to a class of example scalar-tensor theories of gravity in order to verify theoretical predictions, and to investigate for the first time the scale-dependence of the gravitational couplings that appear within its perturbation equations. In doing so, we evaluate the performance of some simple interpolating functions in the transition region between small and large cosmological scales, as well as the uncertainties that using such functions would introduce into the calculation of observables. We find that all theoretical predictions of the PPNC framework are verified to high accuracy in the relevant regimes, and that simple interpolating functions perform well (but not perfectly) between these regimes. This study is an important step towards being able to use the PPNC framework to analyse cosmological datasets, and to thereby test if/how the gravitational interaction has changed as the Universe has evolved.

description: We investigate the high-energy properties of matter theories coupled to quantum gravity. Specifically, we show that quantum gravity fluctuations generically induce matter self-interactions in a scalar theory. Our calculations apply within asymptotically safe quantum gravity, where our results indicate that the UV is dominated by an interacting fixed point, with non-vanishing gravitational as well as matter couplings. In particular, momentum-dependent scalar self-interactions are non-zero and induce a non-vanishing momentum-independent scalar potential. Furthermore we point out that terms of this type can have observable consequences in the context of scalar-field driven inflation, where they can induce potentially observable non-Gaussianities in the CMB.

Theory of layered-oxide cathode degradation in Li-ion batteries by oxidation-induced cation disorder

description: Disorder-driven degradation phenomena, such as structural phase transformations and surface reconstructions, can significantly reduce the lifetime of Li-ion batteries, especially those with nickel-rich layered-oxide cathodes. We develop a general free energy model for layered-oxide ion-intercalation materials as a function of the degree of disorder, which represents the density of defects in the host crystal. The model accounts for defect core energies, long-range dipolar electrostatic forces, and configurational entropy of the solid solution. In the case of nickel-rich oxides, we hypothesize that nickel with a high concentration of defects is driven into the bulk by electrostatic forces as oxidation reactions at the solid-electrolyte interface reduce nickel and either evolve oxygen gas or oxidize the organic electrolyte at high potentials (>4.4V vs. Li/Li+). The model is used in battery cycling simulations to describe the extent of cathode degradation when using different voltage cutoffs, in agreement with experimental observations that lower-voltage cycling can substantially reduce cathode degradation. The theory provides a framework to guide the development of cathode compositions, coatings and electrolytes to enhance rate capability and enhance battery lifetime. The general theory of cation-disorder formation may also find applications in electrochemical water treatment and ion separations, such as lithium extraction from brines, based on competitive ion intercalation in battery materials.

The Roles of ING5 in Regeneration and Maintaining Genomic Stability (in vivo model)

description: In this thesis, we provide the first in vivo description of the functions of ING5, a member of the INhibitor of Growth (ING1-5) proteins that are epigenetic regulators. INGs target histone acetyltransferase (HAT) or histone deacetylase (HDAC) complexes to the H3K4Me3 mark of active transcription. ING5 targets MOZ/MORF and HBO1 HAT complexes to acetylate H3 and H4 core histones, respectively, affecting gene expression. Previous in vitro studies by us and others indicated that ING5 maintains stem cell character in normal and cancer stem cells. Moreover, ING5 has also been implicated in maintaining genomic stability by regulating post-translational modification of DNA repair proteins. Here we find that CRISPR/Cas9 ING5 knockout (KO) mice are sub-fertile but viable and show no decrease in lifespan despite signs of depleted stem cell pools in their brains, skin and peripheral nerves. Cardiac Fibroblasts established from knockout animals had accelerated growth rates, with higher heart fibrosis after an infarct injury. Evidence of chondrogenesis was also obtained in knockout hearts that had compromised heart function, indicating the significance of ING5 for heart integrity. Depletion of ING5 also affected DNA repair, as suggested by the accumulation of DNA damage and apoptosis in the testis, which affected animal fertility. Furthermore, middle-aged to old KO animals develop lymphomas at a rate approximately 6-fold higher than control mice. This may be due to loss of ING5 resulting in p53 instability, with several tissues showing very low or undetectable levels of p53 despite normal levels of p53 mRNA.

description: With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and autonomous driving technology, the demand for semiconductors is projected to rise substantially. However, the massive expansion of semiconductor manufacturing and the development of new technology will bring many defect wafers. If these defect wafers have not been correctly inspected, the ineffective semiconductor processing on these defect wafers will cause additional impact to our environment, such as excessive carbon dioxide emission and energy consumption. In this paper, we utilize the information processing advantages of quantum computing to promote the defect learning defect review (DLDR). We propose a classical-quantum hybrid algorithm for deep learning on near-term quantum processors. By tuning parameters implemented on it, quantum circuit driven by our framework learns a given DLDR task, include of wafer defect map classification, defect pattern classification, and hotspot detection. In addition, we explore parametrized quantum circuits with different expressibility and entangling capacities. These results can be used to build a future roadmap to develop circuit-based quantum deep learning for semiconductor defect detection.

description: In this paper, we study the thermal rectification in asymmetric U-shaped graphene flakes by using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. The graphene flakes are composed by a beam and two arms. It is found that the heat flux runs preferentially from the wide arm to the narrow arm which indicates a strong rectification effect. The dependence of the rectification ratio upon the heat flux, the length and the width of the beam, the length and width of the two arms are studied. The result suggests a possible route to manage heat dissipation in U-shaped graphene based nanoelectronic devices.

description: Avian flocks display a wide variety of flight behaviors, including steady directed translation of center of mass, rapid change of overall morphology, re-shuffling of positions of individuals within a persistent form, etc. These behaviors may be viewed as flock-scale strategies, emerging from interactions between individuals, accomplishing some collective adaptive purpose such as finding a roost, or mitigating the danger from predator attacks. While we do not conceive the flock as a single cognitive agent, the moment-to-moment decisions of individuals, influenced by their neighbors, appear as if to realize collective strategies that are cognizant of purpose. In this paper, we identify the actions of the flock as allocation of energetic resources, and thereby associate a cognitive cost to behavior. Our notion of cognitive cost reflects the burden arising from rapid re-allocation of resource. Using a recently developed natural geometric approach to kinetic energy allocation, we map the flock behavior to a temporal signature on the standard (probability) simplex. Given the signature of a flocking event, we calculate the cognitive cost as a solution to an optimal control problem based on a game-theoretic model. Alternatively, one can associate to a signature an entropic cost. These two cost measures, when applied to data on starling flocks, show a consistent spread in value across events, and we suggest the possibility that higher cost may arise from predator attacks.

description: We consider two N=4 supersymmetric gauge theories connected by an interface and the gravity dual of this system. This interface is expressed by a fuzzy funnel solution of Nahm's equation in the gauge theory side. The gravity dual is a probe D5-brane in AdS_5 x S^5. The potential energy between this interface and a test particle is calculated in both the gauge theory side and the gravity side by the expectation value of a Wilson loop. In the gauge theory it is evaluated by just substituting the classical solution to the Wilson loop. On the other hand it is done by the on-shell action of the fundamental string stretched between the AdS boundary and the D5-brane in the gravity. We show the gauge theory result and the gravity one agree with each other.

description: Young stock can shed Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) in feces, present antibody titers and transmit MAP to other young stock. However, most Johne’s disease (JD) control programs do not include young stock in MAP testing strategies, which might be one of the reasons why only a few JD control programs were able to eradicate MAP. This study aimed to include young stock in a JD testing strategy and improve diagnostic tests. A literature review conducted reported that young stock can shed MAP as early as 4 mo of age. However, due to the chronic characteristic of the disease, it was considered important to improve current diagnostic tests and develop new tests, such as phage-based and metabolomics tests. A tentative inclusion of young stock in the MAP testing strategy was evaluated based on direct fecal qPCR and ELISA every 2 mo from animals between 2-12 mo of age. A sudden rise in MAP prevalence was detected at the second sampling, 2 mo after the start of the study. Although the high MAP prevalence was explained in part by the presence of MAP infections in the herd, it was not possible to explain the specificity of the ISMAP02 gene, which raises doubts about different Mycobacterium species being detected by the same assay. Furthermore, an in depth evaluation of the main MAP target genes for qPCR assays was proposed across different sample types and MAP concentrations. Overall, all MAP target genes were able to detect samples with high MAP concentration. IS900 and ISMAP02 consistently identified MAP in all sample types. However, the genes mbtA, hspX and F57 presented issues to detect samples with mid to low MAP concentrations.

description: Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been detected in the centers of most nearby massive galaxies. Galaxies today are the products of billions of years of galaxy mergers, but also billions of years of SMBH activity as active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that is connected to galaxy mergers. In this context, detection of AGN pairs should be relatively common. Observationally, however, dual AGN are scant, being just a few percent of all AGN. In this Letter we investigate the triggering of AGN activity in merging galaxies via a suite of high resolution hydrodynamical simulations. We follow the dynamics and accretion onto the SMBHs as they move from separations of tens of kiloparsecs to tens of parsecs. Our resolution, cooling and star formation implementation produce an inhomogeneous, multi-phase interstellar medium, allowing us to accurately trace star formation and accretion onto the SMBHs. We study the impact of gas content, morphology, and mass ratio, allowing us to study AGN activity and dynamics across a wide range of relevant conditions. We test when the two AGN are simultaneously detectable, for how long and at which separations. We find that strong dual AGN activity occurs during the late phases of the mergers, at small separations (<1-10 kpc) below the resolution limit of most surveys. Much of the SMBH accretion is not simultaneous, limiting the dual AGN fraction detectable through imaging and spectroscopy to a few percent, in agreement with observational samples.

description: We propose a kinematic algebra for the Bern-Carrasco-Johansson (BCJ) numerators of tree-level amplitudes and form factors in Yang-Mills theory coupled with bi-adjoint scalars. The algebraic generators of the algebra contain two parts: the first part is simply the flavour factor of the bi-adjoint scalars, and the second part that maps to non-trivial kinematic structures of the BCJ numerators obeys extended quasi-shuffle fusion products. The underlying kinematic algebra allows us to present closed forms for the BCJ numerators with any number of gluons and two or more scalars for both on-shell amplitudes and form factors that involve an off-shell operator. The BCJ numerators constructed in this way are manifestly gauge invariant and obey many novel relations that are inherited from the kinematic algebra.

description: Galactic winds are observed in many spiral galaxies with sizes from dwarfs up to the Milky Way, and they sometimes carry a mass in excess of that of newly formed stars by up to a factor of ten. Multiple driving processes of such winds have been proposed, including thermal pressure due to supernova-heating, UV radiation pressure on dust grains, or cosmic ray (CR) pressure. We here study wind formation due to CR physics using a numerical model that accounts for CR acceleration by supernovae, CR thermalization, and advective CR transport. In addition, we introduce a novel implementation of CR streaming relative to the rest frame of the gas. We find that CR streaming drives powerful and sustained winds in galaxies with virial masses M_200 < 10^{11} Msun. In dwarf galaxies (M_200 ~ 10^9 Msun) the winds reach a mass loading factor of ~5, expel ~60 per cent of the initial baryonic mass contained inside the halo's virial radius and suppress the star formation rate by a factor of ~5. In dwarfs, the winds are spherically symmetric while in larger galaxies the outflows transition to bi-conical morphologies that are aligned with the disc's angular momentum axis. We show that damping of Alfven waves excited by streaming CRs provides a means of heating the outflows to temperatures that scale with the square of the escape speed. In larger haloes (M_200 > 10^{11} Msun), CR streaming is able to drive fountain flows that excite turbulence. For halo masses M_200 > 10^{10} Msun, we predict an observable level of H-alpha and X-ray emission from the heated halo gas. We conclude that CR-driven winds should be crucial in suppressing and regulating the first epoch of galaxy formation, expelling a large fraction of baryons, and - by extension - aid in shaping the faint end of the galaxy luminosity function. They should then also be responsible for much of the metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium.

description: The $q$-state Potts model has stood at the frontier of research in statistical mechanics for many years. In the absence of a closed-form solution, much of the past efforts have focused on locating its critical manifold, trajectory in the parameter $\{q, e^J\}$ space where $J$ is the reduced interaction, along which the free energy is singular. However, except in isolated cases, antiferromagnetic (AF) models with $J<0$ have been largely neglected. In this paper we consider the Potts model with AF interactions focusing on deducing its critical manifold in exact and/or closed-form expressions. We first re-examine the known critical frontiers in light of AF interactions. For the square lattice we confirm the Potts self-dual point to be the sole critical point for $J>0$. We also locate its critical frontier for $J<0$ and find it to coincide with a solvability condition observed by Baxter in 1982. For the honeycomb lattice we show that the known critical point holds for {all} $J$, and determine its critical $q_c = \frac 1 2 (3+\sqrt 5) = 2.61803$ beyond which there is no transition. For the triangular lattice we confirm the known critical point to hold only for $J>0$. More generally we consider the centered-triangle (CT) and Union-Jack (UJ) lattices consisting of mixed $J$ and $K$ interactions, and deduce critical manifolds under homogeneity hypotheses. For K=0 the CT lattice is the diced lattice, and we determine its critical manifold for all $J$ and find $q_c = 3.32472$. For K=0 the UJ lattice is the square lattice and from this we deduce both the $J>0$ and $J<0$ critical manifolds and find $q_c=3$ for the square lattice. Our theoretical predictions are compared with recent tensor-based numerical results and Monte Carlo simulations.

On the breaking of collinear factorization in QCD

description: We investigate the breakdown of collinear factorization for non-inclusive observables in hadron-hadron collisions. For pure QCD processes, factorization is violated at the three-loop level and it has a structure identical to that encountered previously in the case of super-leading logarithms. In particular, it is driven by the non-commutation of Coulomb/Glauber gluon exchanges with other soft exchanges. Beyond QCD, factorization may be violated at the two-loop level provided that the hard subprocess contains matrix element contributions with phase differences between different colour topologies.

description: In this paper, we introduce our open source implementation of the Coupled Discrete Unified Gas Kinetic Scheme (CDUGKS) of https://journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevE.98.053310, a phase space scheme capable of handling a wide range of flow regimes. We demonstrate its performance on several problems including a number of well known test problems from the astrophysical fluid dynamics literature such as the 1D Sod shock tube, 2D Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, 1D thermoacoustic wave, a triangular Gresho vortex, a sine wave velocity perturbation. For these problems, we show that the code can simulate flows ranging from the inviscid/Eulerian regime to the free-streaming regime, capturing shocks and emergent diffusive processes in the appropriate regimes. We also use a variety of Prandtl numbers to demonstrate the scheme's ability to simulate different thermal conductivities at fixed viscosity. The scheme is second-order accurate in space and time and, unlike many solvers, uses a time step that is independent of the mean free path of the gas. Our code (MP-CDUGKS) is public under a CC0 1.0 Universal license and is available on https://github.com/alvarozamora/CDUGKS

description: We study the semileptonic $B\to{\bf B\bar B'}L\bar L'$ decays with $\bf B\bar B'$ ($L\bar L'$) representing a baryon (lepton) pair. Using the new determination of the $B\to{\bf B\bar B'}$ transition form factors, we obtain ${\cal B}(B^-\to p\bar p μ^-\bar ν_μ) =(5.4\pm 2.0)\times 10^{-6}$ agreeing with the current data. Besides, ${\cal B}(B^-\to Λ\bar p ν\bar ν)=(3.5\pm 1.0)\times 10^{-8}$ is calculated to be 20 times smaller than the previous prediction. In particular, we predict ${\cal B}(\bar B^0_s\to p\bar Λe^- \bar ν_e,p\bar Λμ^- \bar ν_μ,p\bar Λτ^- \bar ν_τ) =(2.1\pm 0.6,2.1\pm 0.6,1.7\pm 1.0)\times 10^{-6}$ and ${\cal B}(\bar B^0_s\to Λ\bar Λν\bar ν)=(0.8\pm 0.2)\times 10^{-8}$, which can be accessible to the LHCb experiment.

description: Dental implantation has been increasingly used in practical dentistry in recent years. Unfortunately, the spread of dental implantation is accompanied by numerous complications that reduce the service life of orthopedic structures supported by dental implants. The main complications usually include inflammatory processes in periodontal tissues and bone, which lead to disruption of the functional activity of osteoclasts and osteoblasts, which entail changes in the physiological mechanisms of osteogenesis. At the same time, patients usually have reduced non-specific resistance of the body, including in the oral cavity, which leads to a decrease in bone density and is an additional risk factor. All this requires correction of these disorders. If earlier one of the most effective ways to eliminate the incompatibility of implants was the use of noble or rare earth elements (gold, platinum, niobium, etc.) or coating of implants with inert materials made of various alloys and polymers. Recently, there have been studies that propose influencing not the implant material, but the body, in particular, its reactivity, the ability of the tissues surrounding the implant to react to the implant as a related element, i.e. stimulating the processes of osseointegration in the body, in particular, around the implant.

description: Additional file 6: Figure S1. OPLS-DA score plots generated from OPLS-DA models and different metabolites (DMs) between two time-points. The parameters for the classification were R2Y = 0.98 and Q2Y = 0.99, which were stable and good to fitness and prediction. Figure S2. Permutation test was proceeded in order to further validate the model. The R and Q intercept values were 0.35 and − 1.25 after 200 permutations. The low values of Q intercept indicate the robustness of the models, and thus show a low risk of over fitting and reliable. Figure S3. The PCA results show that the quality control samples have good repeatability, and the sample mass spectrometry monitoring analysis is stable, and the data repeatability and credibility are high.

Non-local Andreev reflection through Andreev molecular states in graphene Josephson junctions

description: We propose that a device composed of two vertically stacked monolayer graphene Josephson junctions can be used for Cooper pair splitting. The hybridization of the Andreev bound states of the two Josephson junction can facilitate non-local transport in this normal-superconductor hybrid structure, which we study by calculating the non-local differential conductance. Assuming that one of the graphene layers is electron and the other is hole doped, we find that the non-local Andreev reflection can dominate the differential conductance of the system. Our setup does not require the precise control of junction length, doping, or superconducting phase difference, which could be an important advantage for experimental realization.

title: Agential Narratives
Creators: name: Menon, Vivek
Publisher: name: The Digital Review
Year: 2021

description: Agential Narratives demonstrates the generation of a unique ‘story-tile’, using a participant's voice alone. The words automatically take the shape of the Kolam lines, while accompanying illustrations appear based on trigger-words. Upon submitting a tile, the participant can see it added to an arrangement of tiles so the sentences continue in all directions and keep changing or ‘evolving the overall story’. Like a naturally assimilative system, the artwork relies on newer agents, thereby making it an inclusive and participatory experience. Newer icons too, can be added and combined easily, thereby augmenting the system’s discoverability. This form of storytelling, nonlinear, generative, and open to community, is modelled after Kolam, a 5000-year-old South Indian artistic practice.
