description: We present UBVRIZJsHKs broad band photometry of the host galaxy of the dark gamma-ray burst (GRB) of February 10, 2000. These observations represent the most exhaustive photometry given to date of any GRB host galaxy. A grid of spectral templates have been fitted to the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of the host. The derived photometric redshift is z=0.842^+0.054_-0.042, which is in excellent agreement with the spectroscopic redshift (z=0.8463+/-0.0002) proposed by Piro et al. (2002) based on a single emission line. Furthermore, we have determined the photometric redshift of all the galaxies in an area of 6'x6' around the host galaxy, in order to check for their overdensity in the environment of the host. We find that the GRB 000210 host galaxy is a subluminous galaxy (L ~ 0.5+/-0.2 L*), with no companions above our detection threshold of 0.18+/-0.06 L*. Based on the restframe ultraviolet flux a star formation rate of 2.1+/-0.2 Solar Masses per year is estimated. The best fit to the SED is obtained for a starburst template with an age of 0.181^+0.037_-0.026 Gyr and a very low extinction (Av~0). We discuss the implications of the inferred low value of Av and the age of the dominant stellar population for the non detection of the GRB 000210 optical afterglow.

description: Abstract: Background: The complex network of interactions occurring between gastrointestinal (GI) and extra-intestinal (EI) parasitic helminths of humans and animals and the resident gut microbial flora is attracting increasing attention from biomedical researchers, because of the likely implications for the pathophysiology of helminth infection and disease. Nevertheless, the vast heterogeneity of study designs and microbial community profiling strategies, and of bioinformatic and biostatistical approaches for analyses of metagenomic sequence datasets hinder the identification of bacterial targets for follow-up experimental investigations of helminth-microbiota cross-talk. Furthermore, comparative analyses of published datasets are made difficult by the unavailability of a unique repository for metagenomic sequence data and associated metadata linked to studies aimed to explore potential changes in the composition of the vertebrate gut microbiota in response to GI and/or EI helminth infections. Results: Here, we undertake a meta-analysis of available metagenomic sequence data linked to published studies on helminth-microbiota cross-talk in humans and veterinary species using a single bioinformatic pipeline, and introduce the 'MICrobiome HELminth INteractions database' (MICHELINdb), an online resource for mining of published sequence datasets, and corresponding metadata, generated in these investigations. Conclusions: By increasing data accessibility, we aim to provide the scientific community with a platform to identify gut microbial populations with potential roles in the pathophysiology of helminth disease and parasite-mediated suppression of host inflammatory responses, and facilitate the design of experiments aimed to disentangle the cause(s) and effect(s) of helminth-microbiota relationships. 3-P6fXwiUKUizQ4bBEnJ8wVideo abstract.

description: In this work, we investigate the correspondence between the Erez-Rosen and Hartle-Thorne solutions. We explicitly show how to establish the relationship and find the coordinate transformations between the two metrics. For this purpose the two metrics must have the same approximation and describe the gravitational field of static objects. Since both the Erez-Rosen and the Hartle-Thorne solutions are particular solutions of a more general solution, the Zipoy-Voorhees transformation is applied to the exact Erez-Rosen metric in order to obtain a generalized solution in terms of the Zipoy-Voorhees parameter $δ=1+sq$. The Geroch-Hansen multipole moments of the generalized Erez-Rosen metric are calculated to find the definition of the total mass and quadrupole moment in terms of the mass $m$, quadrupole $q$ and Zipoy-Voorhees $δ$ parameters. The coordinate transformations between the metrics are found in the approximation of $\sim$q. It is shown that the Zipoy-Voorhees parameter is equal to $δ=1-q$ with $s=-1$. This result is in agreement with previous results in the literature.

description: Abstract: In contrast to massless spinning particles, scalars are not heavily constrained by unitarity and locality. Off-shell, no gauge symmetries are required to write down manifestly local theories, while on-shell consistent factorisation is trivial. Instead a useful classification scheme for scalars is based on the symmetries they can non-linearly realise. Motivated by the breaking of Lorentz boosts in cosmology, in this paper we classify the possible symmetries of a shift-symmetric scalar that is assumed to non-linearly realise Lorentz boosts as, for example, in the EFT of inflation. Our classification method is algebraic; guided by the coset construction and inverse Higgs constraints. We rediscover some known phonon theories within the superfluid and galileid classes, and discover a new galileid theory which we call the extended galileid. Generic galileids correspond to the broken phase of galileon scalar EFTs and our extended galileids correspond to special subsets where each galileon coupling is fixed by an additional symmetry. We discuss the broken phase of theories that also admit a perturbation theory around Poincaré invariant vacua and we show that the so-called exceptional EFTs, the DBI scalar and special galileon, do not admit such a broken phase. Concentrating on DBI we provide a detailed account of this showing that the scattering amplitudes are secretly Poincaré invariant when the theory is expanded around the superfluid background used in the EFT of inflation. We point out that DBI is an exception to the common lore that the residue of the total energy pole of cosmological correlators is proportional to the amplitude. We also discuss the inevitability of poles in 2 → 2 scattering amplitudes when boost are spontaneously broken meaning that such theories do not admit Adler zeros and generalisations even in the presence of a shift symmetry.

description: An analysis of supersymmetric dark matter under the Yukawa unification constraint is given. The analysis utilizes the recently discovered region of the parameter space of models with gaugino mass nonuniversalities where large negative supersymmetric corrections to the b quark mass appear to allow $b-τ$ unification for a positive $μ$ sign consistent with the $b\to s+γ$ and $g_μ-2$ constraints. In the present analysis we use the revised theoretical determination of $a_μ^{SM}$ ($a_μ= (g_μ-2)/2$) in computing the difference $a_μ^{exp}-a_μ^{SM}$ which takes account of a reevaluation of the light by light contribution which has a positive sign. The analysis shows that the region of the parameter space with nonuniversalities of the gaugino masses which allows for unification of Yukawa couplings also contains regions which allow satisfaction of the relic density constraint. Specifically we find that the lightest neutralino mass consistent with the relic density constraint, $bτ$ unification for SU(5) and $b-t-τ$ unification for SO(10) in addition to other constraints lies in the region below 80 GeV. An analysis of the maximum and the minimum neutralino-proton scalar cross section for the allowed parameter space including the effect of a new determination of the pion-nucleon sigma term is also given. It is found that the full parameter space for this class of models can be explored in the next generation of proposed dark matter detectors.

description: The quasi--equilibrium or maximum entropy approximation is applied in order to derive constitutive equations from kinetic models of polymer dynamics. It is shown in general and illustrated for an example how canonical distribution functions are obtained from the maximum entropy principle, how macroscopic and constitutive equations are derived therefrom and how these constitutive equations can be implemented numerically. In addition, a measure for the accuracy of the quasi--equilibrium approximation is proposed that can be evaluated while integrating the constitutive equations. In the example considered, it is confirmed that the accuracy of the approximation is increased by including more macroscopic variables. In steady elongational flow, it is found that more macroscopic variables need to be included above the coil--stretch transition to achieve the same accuracy as below.

description: We numerically investigate the threshold of black-hole formation in the gravitational collapse of electromagnetic waves in axisymmetry. We find approximate power-law scaling $ρ_{\rm max}\sim (η_*-η)^{-2γ}$ of the maximum density in the time evolution of near-subcritical data with $γ\simeq 0.145$, where $η$ is the amplitude of the initial data. We directly observe approximate discrete self-similarity in near-critical time evolutions with a log-scale echoing period of $Δ\simeq 0.55$. The critical solution is approximately the same for two families of initial data, providing some evidence of universality. Neither the discrete self-similarity nor the universality, however, are exact. We speculate that the absence of an exactly discrete self-similarity might be caused by the interplay of electromagnetic and gravitational wave degrees of freedom, or by the presence of higher-order angular multipoles, or both, and discuss implications of our findings for the critical collapse of vacuum gravitational waves.

description: Abstract: Acyl-CoAs are reactive metabolites that can non-enzymatically S-acylate and N-acylate protein cysteine and lysine residues, respectively. N-acylation is irreversible and enhanced if a nearby cysteine residue undergoes an initial reversible S-acylation, as proximity leads to rapid S → N-transfer of the acyl moiety. We reasoned that protein-bound acyl-CoA could also facilitate S → N-transfer of acyl groups to proximal lysine residues. Furthermore, as CoA contains an ADP backbone this may extend beyond CoA-binding sites and include abundant Rossmann-fold motifs that bind the ADP moiety of NADH, NADPH, FADH and ATP. Here, we show that excess nucleotides decrease protein lysine N-acetylation in vitro. Furthermore, by generating modelled structures of proteins N-acetylated in mouse liver, we show that proximity to a nucleotide-binding site increases the risk of N-acetylation and identify where nucleotide binding could enhance N-acylation in vivo. Finally, using glutamate dehydrogenase as a case study, we observe increased in vitro lysine N-malonylation by malonyl-CoA near nucleotide-binding sites which overlaps with in vivo N-acetylation and N-succinylation. Furthermore, excess NADPH, GTP and ADP greatly diminish N-malonylation near their nucleotide-binding sites, but not at distant lysine residues. Thus, lysine N-acylation by acyl-CoAs is enhanced by nucleotide-binding sites and may contribute to higher stoichiometry protein N-acylation in vivo.

description: Solving nonlinear model predictive control problems in real time is still an important challenge despite of recent advances in computing hardware, optimization algorithms and tailored implementations. This challenge is even greater when uncertainty is present due to disturbances, unknown parameters or measurement and estimation errors. To enable the application of advanced control schemes to fast systems and on low-cost embedded hardware, we propose to approximate a robust nonlinear model controller using deep learning and to verify its quality using probabilistic validation techniques. We propose a probabilistic validation technique based on finite families, combined with the idea of generalized maximum and constraint backoff to enable statistically valid conclusions related to general performance indicators. The potential of the proposed approach is demonstrated with simulation results of an uncertain nonlinear system.

The reduction of the Drude weight by interactions in the integrable gapless regime is evaluated. Evidence for the absence of a Drude weight in the gapless regime of a non-integrable system with longer-ranged interactions is presented. We estimate the effect of the non-integrability on the transport properties and compare with recent experiments on one-dimensional quantum-spin chains.

description: Clostridium botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) is one of the most potent biotoxins ever known. Its entry into neurons could block vesicle exocytosis to abolish the release of neurotransmitters from nerve terminals, thus leading to muscle paralysis. Although there are so many peptides, antibodies and chemical compounds claimed to have anti-toxin activity, no drug is available in the clinical application except equine antitoxin serum. In the present work, a short peptide inhibitor RRGW of BoNT/A was firstly identified by computer-aided ligand-receptor binding simulation, then an RRGW derived peptide was rational designed based on the fragment of SNAP-25 (141–206 aa). Proteolytic assay showed that the anti-toxin activity of the RRGW derived peptide was much higher than that of RRGW. Digit abduction score assay demonstrated that the derived peptide delayed BoNT/A-induced muscle paralysis at a lower concentration by 20-fold than RRGW. The results supported that RRGW derived peptide can be a potential BoNT/A inhibitor candidate for further treating botulism.

description: Turbulent flow over a surface with streamwise-elongated rough and smooth stripes is studied by means of direct numerical simulation (DNS) in a periodic plane open channel with fully resolved roughness. The goal is to understand how the mean height of roughness affects the characteristics of the secondary flow formed above a spanwise-heterogeneous rough surface. To this end, while the statistical properties of roughness texture as well as the width and spacing of the rough stripes are kept constant, the elevation of the smooth stripes is systematically varied in different simulation cases. Utilizing this variation three configurations representing protruding, recessed and an intermediate type of roughness are analysed. In all cases secondary flows are present and the skin friction coefficients calculated for all the heterogeneous rough surfaces are meaningfully larger than what would result from the area-weighted average of those of homogeneous smooth and rough surfaces. This drag increase appears to be linked to the strength of the secondary flow. The rotational direction of the secondary motion is shown to depend on the relative surface elevation. The present results suggest that this rearrangement of the secondary flow is linked to the spatial distribution of the spanwise-wall-normal Reynolds stress component which carries opposing signs for protruding and recessed roughness.

description: Despite the attention given in recent years to the growth of foreign land acquisitions, there have been few studies investigating the pattern of recent Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in agriculture and the ones that have are mostly focused on the locational drivers of FDI. This paper explores how the contractual features of transactions of agricultural products affect the “internalization” decision of firms, that is, the choice trade/FDI. The paper develops a partial equilibrium model incorporating incomplete contracts and asset specificity, which is used to address a number of questions: What is the impact of the quality of the institutions on the choice trade/FDI? How may the bargaining power of the downstream and upstream firms affect the outcome? How is the choice FDI/trade affected by the presence of a state–owned firm? The model provides some uncommon results, such as the finding that when the investor is private, weak institutions may promote FDI.

description: EGFR mutations have been identified in 20,000 reported NSCLC (non-small cell lung cancer) samples, and exon 19 deletions and L858R mutations at position 21, known as “classical” mutations, account for 85–90% of the total EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) mutations. In this paper, two series of EGFR kinase inhibitors were designed and synthesised. Among them, compound B1 showed an IC50 value of 13 nM for kinase inhibitory activity against EGFRL858R/T790M and more than 76-fold selectivity for EGFRWT. Furthermore, in an in vitro anti-tumour activity test, compound B1 showed an effective anti-proliferation activity against H1975 cells with an IC50 value of 0.087 μΜ. We also verified the mechanism of action of compound B1 as a selective inhibitor of EGFRL858R/T790M by cell migration assay and apoptosis assay.

description: Abstract: Current state-of-the-art models for automatic facial expression recognition (FER) are based on very deep neural networks that are effective but rather expensive to train. Given the dynamic conditions of FER, this characteristic hinders such models of been used as a general affect recognition. In this paper, we address this problem by formalizing the FaceChannel, a light-weight neural network that has much fewer parameters than common deep neural networks. We introduce an inhibitory layer that helps to shape the learning of facial features in the last layer of the network and, thus, improving performance while reducing the number of trainable parameters. To evaluate our model, we perform a series of experiments on different benchmark datasets and demonstrate how the FaceChannel achieves a comparable, if not better, performance to the current state-of-the-art in FER. Our experiments include cross-dataset analysis, to estimate how our model behaves on different affective recognition conditions. We conclude our paper with an analysis of how FaceChannel learns and adapts the learned facial features towards the different datasets.

description: Marco Paoli's Homo imaginificus (Lucca, 2023) is a groundbreaking work on the representation of dreams in art from prehistory to the Renaissance. This encyclopedic volume bridges millennia of artistic traditions, offering a systematic catalog of dream iconography. Paoli's analysis transcends geographical and chronological boundaries, organizing material into four macro-sections: Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. He uncovers recurring iconographic patterns and interpretive frameworks, including the interplay between artistic and literary representations of dreams. The Renaissance section, the largest, illustrates how medieval Christian iconography and rediscovered classical sources reshaped allegorical and profane dream representations. The work establishes a unique dialogue between dream theories and their artistic realizations, enriching our understanding of how philosophical, theological, and literary interpretations influenced visual culture. Paoli's methodological approach makes Homo imaginificus an interesting reference for dream studies in Art History.

description: A novel approach has been developed to construct benzoxazoles and similar N- and S-containing heterocycles from their corresponding isothiocyanates and o-substituted anilines via cyclodesulfurization. The reaction was found to proceed via in situ formation of disubstituted thiourea, followed by intramolecular cyclodesulfurization to yield the desired benzazole. Cyclodesulfurization was achieved by the application of safer and inexpensive oxidant, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) under microwave irradiation. In addition to the safe environmental footprints that hydrogen peroxide exhibits, the absence of any base or additive makes it a mild and green synthetic strategy. This method contributes to the field of metal- and base-free cyclodesulfurization, thereby aids the synthesis of pharmacologically potent heterocyclic scaffolds.
On Teraelectronvolt Majorana Neutrinos

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The issue of existence of Majorana neutrinos with masses of the order of TeV and substantial couplings is addressed. A general neutrino mass matrix $M_ν$ with both features is constructed, however, the form of $M_ν$ is constrained very much by severe relations among the elements of $m_D$ and $M_R$ submatrices of $M_ν$. These general relations follow from the perturbative construction of the light neutrino mass spectrum. To avoid such large correlations between low mass parameters in $m_D$ and large mass parameters in $M_R$, the Jeżabek-Sumino see-saw model of bi-maximal neutrino mixing adopted to the TeV scale and the issue of possible symmetries of the matrix $M_ν$ are discussed. Results are supported by a few numerical examples which show directly the complexity of the problem.

A new method for flow-based network intrusion detection using the inverse Potts model

description: Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) play an important role as tools for identifying potential network threats. In the context of ever-increasing traffic volume on computer networks, flow-based NIDS arise as good solutions for real-time traffic classification. In recent years, different flow-based classifiers have been proposed using Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. Nevertheless, classical ML-based classifiers have some limitations. For instance, they require large amounts of labeled data for training, which might be difficult to obtain. Additionally, most ML-based classifiers are not capable of domain adaptation, i.e. after being trained on an specific data distribution, they are not general enough to be applied to other related data distributions. And, finally, many of the models inferred by these algorithms are black boxes, which do not provide explainable results. To overcome these limitations, we propose a new algorithm, called Energy-based Flow Classifier (EFC). This anomaly-based classifier uses inverse statistics to infer a statistical model based on labeled benign examples. We show that EFC is capable of accurately performing binary flow classification and is more adaptable to different data distributions than classical ML-based classifiers. Given the positive results obtained on three different datasets (CIDDS-001, CICIDS17 and CICDDoS19), we consider EFC to be a promising algorithm to perform robust flow-based traffic classification.

description: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous in cultivated soils, forming symbiotic relationships with the roots of major crop species. Studies in controlled conditions have demonstrated the potential of AMF to enhance the growth of host plants. However, it is difficult to estimate the actual benefit in the field, not least because of the lack of suitable AMF-free controls. Here we implement a novel strategy using the selective incorporation of AMF-resistance into a genetic mapping population to evaluate maize response to AMF. We found AMF to account for about one-third of the grain production in a medium input field, as well as to affect the relative performance of different plant genotypes. Characterization of the genetic architecture of the host response indicated a trade-off between mycorrhizal dependence and benefit. We identified several QTL linked to host benefit, supporting the feasibility of breeding crops to maximize profit from symbiosis with AMF.
Machine-learning interpolation of population-synthesis simulations to interpret gravitational-wave observations: a case study

description: We report on advances to interpret current and future gravitational-wave events in light of astrophysical simulations. A machine-learning emulator is trained on numerical population-synthesis predictions and inserted into a Bayesian hierarchical framework. In this case study, a modest but state-of-the-art suite of simulations of isolated binary stars is interpolated across two event parameters and one population parameter. The validation process of our pipelines highlights how omitting some of the event parameters might cause errors in estimating selection effects, which propagates as systematics to the final population inference. Using LIGO/Virgo data from O1 and O2 we infer that black holes in binaries are most likely to receive natal kicks with one-dimensional velocity dispersion $σ$ = 105+44 km/s. Our results showcase potential applications of machine-learning tools in conjunction with population-synthesis simulations and gravitational-wave data.

Alcove walks and spherical Whittaker functions

Whittaker function

description: Labeled minimal walks in the path model correspond bijectively with points of the affine flag variety $G/I$. By using the folding algorithm introduced in \cite{prs09}, we can use folded labeled walks to describe points of triple intersections $U^-vI \cap IwI \cap U^+ v'I$ in the affine flag variety. We demonstrate how to simplify the calculation of what steps can be folded, and use this to prove a result about the maximum number of folds allowed for a minimal walk. Finally, we explain how to compute the spherical Whittaker function using alcove walks following \cite{beaz13}, and for $G = \mathrm{SL}_3$ we prove a result about the alcove walks that contribute non-trivially to this computation.

description: Based on recent HQET sum rule and lattice calculations we present updated Standard Model predictions for the mass differences of neutral $B$ mesons: $ΔM_s^{\rm SM} = \left(18.4^{+0.7}_{-1.2} \right) \mbox{ps}^{-1}$ and $ΔM_d^{\rm SM} = \left(0.533^{+0.022}_{-0.036} \right) \mbox{ps}^{-1}$ and study their impact on new physics models that address the present hints of anomalous data in $b \to s \ell \ell$ transitions. We also examine future prospects of further reducing the theory uncertainties and discuss the implications of a 2025 scenario with $ΔM_s^\text{SM 2025} = \left(18.4 \pm 0.5\right) \mbox{ps}^{-1}$. In particular, the latter yields upper bounds $M_{Z'}\lesssim 9~\text{TeV}$ and $M_{S_3}\lesssim 30~\text{TeV}$ for the minimal $Z'$ and $S_3$ lepto-quark explanations of the $b \to s \ell \ell$ anomalies, respectively.

description: Multimodal data, where different types of data are collected from the same subjects, are fast emerging in a large variety of scientific applications. Factor analysis is commonly used in integrative analysis of multimodal data, and is particularly useful to overcome the curse of high dimensionality and high correlations. However, there is little work on statistical inference for factor analysis-based supervised modeling of multimodal data. In this article, we consider an integrative linear regression model that is built upon the latent factors extracted from multimodal data. We address three important questions: how to infer the significance of one data modality given the other modalities in the model; how to infer the significance of a combination of variables from one modality or across different modalities; and how to quantify the contribution, measured by the goodness of fit, of one data modality given the others. When answering each question, we explicitly characterize both the benefit and the extra cost of factor analysis. Those questions, to our knowledge, have not yet been addressed despite wide use of factor analysis in integrative multimodal analysis, and our proposal bridges an important gap. We study the empirical performance of our methods through simulations, and further illustrate with a multimodal neuroimaging analysis.

description: Small (s)RNAs play crucial roles in the regulation of gene expression and genome stability across eukaryotes where they direct epigenetic modifications, post-transcriptional gene silencing, and defense against both endogenous and exogenous viruses. It is known that Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, a well-studied unicellular green algae species, possesses sRNA-based mechanisms that are distinct from those of land plants. However, definition of sRNA loci and further systematic classification is not yet available for this or any other algae. Here, using data-driven machine learning approaches including Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and clustering, we have generated a comprehensively annotated and classified sRNA locus map for C. reinhardtii. This map shows some common characteristics with higher plants and animals, but it also reveals distinct features. These results are consistent with the idea that there was diversification in sRNA mechanisms after the evolutionary divergence of algae from higher plant lineages.
