description: In March 2020, the world was thrown into financial distress. This manifested itself in increased uncertainty in the financial markets. Many interest rates collapsed, and funding spreads surged significantly, which increased due to the market turmoil. In light of these events, it is essential to understand and model Wrong-Way Risk (WWR) in a Funding Valuation Adjustment (FVA) context. WWR may currently be absent from FVA calculations in banks' Valuation Adjustment (xVA) engines. However, in this letter, we demonstrate that WWR effects are non-negligible in FVA modelling from a risk-management perspective. We look at the impact of various modelling choices, such as including the default times of the relevant parties, as well as stochastic and deterministic funding spreads. A case study is presented for interest rate derivatives.

description: Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are the largest-scale eruptive phenomena in the solar system. Associated with enormous plasma ejections and energy release, CMEs have an important impact on the solar-terrestrial environment. Accurate predictions of the arrival times of CMEs at the Earth depend on the precise measurements on their three-dimensional velocities, which can be achieved using simultaneous line-of-sight (LOS) and plane-of-sky (POS) observations. Besides the POS information from routine coronagraph and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) imaging observations, spectroscopic observations could unveil the physical properties of CMEs including their LOS velocities. We propose that spectral line asymmetries measured by Sun-as-a-star spectrographs can be used for routine detections of CMEs and estimations of their LOS velocities during their early propagation phases. Such observations can also provide important clues for the detection of CMEs on other solar-like stars. However, few studies have concentrated on whether we can detect CME signals and accurately diagnose CME properties through Sun-as-a-star spectral observations. In this work, we constructed a geometric CME model and derived the analytical expressions for full-disk integrated EUV line profiles during CMEs. For different CME properties and instrumental configurations, full disk-integrated line profiles were synthesized. We further evaluated the detectability and diagnostic potential of CMEs from the synthetic line profiles. Our investigations provide important constraints on the future design of Sun-as-a-star spectrographs for CME detections through EUV line asymmetries.

description: We propose an experimental scheme for the measurement of entanglement between two two-level atoms. Our scheme requires one of the two entangled atoms to interact with a cavity field dispersively, and we show that by measuring the zero time-delay second-order coherence function of the cavity field, one can measure the concurrence of an arbitrary Bell-like atomic two-qubit state. As our scheme requires only one of the atoms to interact with the measured cavity, the entanglement quantification becomes independent of the location of the other atom. Therefore, our scheme can have important implications for entanglement quantification in distributed quantum systems.

description: Charge Transfer (CT) has enjoyed continuous interest due to increasing experimental control over molecular structure leading to applications in, for example, photovoltaics and hydrogen production. In this paper, we investigate the effect of CT states on the absorption spectrum of linear molecular aggregates using a scattering matrix technique that allows us to deal with arbitrarily large systems. The presented theory performs well for both strong and weak mixing of exciton and CT states, bridging the gap between previously employed methods which are applicable in only one of these limits. In experimental spectra the homogeneous linewidth is often too large to resolve all optically allowed transitions individually, resulting in a characteristic two-peak absorption spectrum in both the weak- and strong-coupling regime. Using the scattering matrix technique we examine the contributions of free and bound states in detail. We conclude that the skewness of the high-frequency peak may be used as a new way to identify the exciton-CT-state coupling strength.

description: Recent rapid progress in neutron-star (NS) observations offers great potential to constrain the properties of strongly interacting matter under the most extreme conditions. In order to fully exploit the current observational inputs and to study the impact of future observations of NS masses, radii, and tidal deformabilities, we analyze a large ensemble of randomly generated viable NS-matter equations of state (EoSs) and the corresponding rotating stellar structures. We discuss the compatibility and impact of various hypotheses and measurements on the EoS, including those involving the merger product of the gravitational-wave (GW) event GW170817, the binary merger components in GW190814, and radius measurements of the pulsar PSR J0740+6620. We obtain an upper limit for the dimensionless spin of a rigidly rotating NS, $|χ| < 0.81$, an upper limit for the compactness of a NS, $GM/(Rc^2) < 0.33$, and find that the conservative hypothesis that the remnant in GW170817 ultimately collapsed to a black hole strongly constrains the EoS and the maximal mass of NSs, implying $M_\text{TOV} < 2.53 M_\odot$ (or $M_\text{TOV} < 2.19 M_\odot$ if we assume that a hypermassive NS was created). Additionally, we derive a novel lower limit for the tidal deformability as a function of NS mass and provide fitting formulae that can be used to set priors for parameter estimation and to discern whether neutron stars or other compact objects are involved in future low-mass GW events. Finally, we find that the recent NICER results for the radius of the massive NS PSR J0740+6620 place strong constraints for the behavior of the EoS, and that the indicated radius values $R(2M_\odot) \gtrsim 11$ km are compatible with moderate speeds of sound in NS matter and thus with the existence of quark matter cores in massive NSs.

Year: 2022

description: SAND (System for on-Axis Neutrino Detection) will be one of the three components of the DUNE Near Detector complex, acting as a beam monitor to control the flux and systematics uncertainties for the DUNE oscillation physics program. It consists of a solenoidal magnet, an electromagnetic calorimeter, an inner target/tracker system and a 1-ton liquid argon target named GRAIN (GRanular Argon for Interaction of Neutrinos). GRAIN will be placed in the upstream region of the inner magnetized volume. It will be instrumented with photodetectors to collect scintillation light for tagging and localizing the event in combination with the calorimeter and the tracker. GRAIN will obtain samples of ν-Ar interactions to study neutrino interactions models, provide cross-calibration for the rest of the Near Detector, and constrain nuclear effects by comparing with data from other nuclear targets (C, CH2) within SAND. This poster describes the design and role of GRAIN in SAND, including preliminary simulation results of its capabilities.

description: We present a tabulated version of our slim disk model for fitting tidal disruption events (TDEs). We create a synthetic X-ray spectral library by ray-tracing stationary general relativistic slim disks and including gravitational redshift, Doppler, and lensing effects self-consistently. We introduce the library to reduce computational expense and increase access for fitting future events. Fitting requires interpolation between the library spectra; the interpolation error in the synthetic flux is generally $<10\%$ (it can rise to $40\%$ when the disk is nearly edge-on). We fit the X-ray spectra of the TDEs ASASSN-14li and ASASSN-15oi, successfully reproducing our earlier constraints on black hole mass $M_\bullet$ and spin $a_\bullet$ from full on-the-fly ray-tracing. We use the library to fit mock observational data to explore the degeneracies among parameters, finding that 1) hotter thermal disk and edge-on inclination angle spectra offer tighter constraints on $M_\bullet$ and $a_\bullet$; 2) the constraining power of spectra on $M_\bullet$ and $a_\bullet$ increases as a power-law with the number of X-ray counts, and the index of the power law is higher for hotter thermal disk spectra; 3) multi-epoch X-ray spectra partially break the degeneracy between $M_\bullet$ and $a_\bullet$; 4) the time-dependent level of X-ray absorption can be constrained from spectral fitting.

description: The multi-reference alignment (MRA) problem entails estimating an image from multiple noisy and rotated copies of itself. If the noise level is low, one can reconstruct the image by estimating the missing rotations, aligning the images, and averaging out the noise. While accurate rotation estimation is impossible if the noise level is high, the rotations can still be approximated, and thus can provide indispensable information. In particular, learning the approximation error can be harnessed for efficient image estimation. In this paper, we propose a new computational framework, called Synch-EM, that consists of angular synchronization followed by expectation-maximization (EM). The synchronization step results in a concentrated distribution of rotations; this distribution is learned and then incorporated into the EM as a Bayesian prior. The learned distribution also dramatically reduces the search space, and thus the computational load, of the EM iterations. We show by extensive numerical experiments that the proposed framework can significantly accelerate EM for MRA in high noise levels, occasionally by a few orders of magnitude, without degrading the reconstruction quality.

description: Poster presented at the Plant and Animal Genome Conference on January 16, 2023.

Abstract: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is often explored to evaluate the assumption of random mating. However, in autopolyploids, organisms with more than two sets of homologous chromosomes, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and random mating are different hypotheses that require different statistical testing approaches. Currently, the only available methods to test for random mating in autopolyploids (i) heavily rely on asymptotic approximations and (ii) assume genotypes are known, ignoring genotype uncertainty. Furthermore, these approaches are all frequentist, and so do not carry the benefits of Bayesian analysis, including ease of interpretability, incorporation of prior information, and consistency under the null. Here, we present Bayesian approaches to test for random mating, bringing the benefits of Bayesian analysis to this problem. Our Bayesian methods also (i) do not rely on asymptotic approximations, being appropriate for small sample sizes, and (ii) optionally account for genotype uncertainty via genotype likelihoods. We validate our methods in simulations, and demonstrate on two real datasets how testing for random mating is more useful than testing for equilibrium (in a natural population) and testing for Mendelian segregation (in an experimental S1 population). Our methods are implemented in Version 2.0.0 of the hwep R package on the Comprehensive R Archive Network https://cran.r-project.org/package=hwep.

description: A new description of free massless superfields of arbitrary superspin $Y$ ($Y>1/2$) is proposed. Following the first-order philosophy, we relax some of the properties (reality, gauge redundancy) of the unconstrained higher spin prepotentials and we construct first and half order invariants quantities. These are used to write trivially invariant actions. Additional auxiliary superfields that play the role of spin connections are used to enforce a new local symmetry that restores the degrees of freedom.

We also characterize the quasi-Coxeter elements (those with a shortest reflection factorization that generates the whole group) in $G(m, p, n)$.

Meso- and metasternum and ventral part of abdomen sepia.
Male. Eyes big and strongly protruding, head across eyes moderately narrower than pronotum, antennae moderately exceeding three fourths of elytral length, projections of antennomeres 3–10 more or less, but always distinctly longer than each antennomere. Surface of head very finely and very sparsely punctate, with fine, semisparse, recumbent brown pubescence, semilustrous. Pronotum similar as that in Fig. 2, posterolateral emarginations open. Surface of pronotum like that of head punctate, finely and sparsely yellow pubescent, semilustrous. Elytra slightly wider than pronotum, moderately dilated posteriorly, elytral venation slightly developed to absent. Surface of elytra rugulose-lacunose, with fine, yellow, short semierect pubescence, matt to semilustrous. Aedeagus as in Fig. 20.
Female. Eyes much smaller and less protruding than in male, antennae serrate, reaching almost elytral midlength.

Differential diagnosis. Laemoglyptus bhutanensis sp. nov. is most similar to L. weigeli Kazantsev, 2009 (cf. KAZANTSEV 2009) in the shape and length of the fused parameres and for the dorsal part of the aedeagus being apically more narrowed, but differing from this species by the more narrowed and lateraly concave divided portions of the dorsal part of the aedeagus and having the laterophyses dentate on their inner sides and divergent terminally. The other species of the L. bhutanensis -subgroup possess either longer parameres or a differently shapep apical portion of the dorsal part of the aedeagus (as in L. jaegeri Kazantsev, 2009 (cf. KAZANTSEV 2009)).
Etymology. Named according to the country of its occurrence.
Distribution. Bhutan.

description: Dynamic shear-modulus data are presented for the two silicone oils DC704 and DC705 for frequencies between 1 mHz and 10 kHz at temperatures covering more than five decades of relaxation-time variation. The data are fitted to the alpha part of a phenomenological model previously shown to describe well the dynamic shear modulus of squalane, which has a large beta process [Hecksher \textit{et al.}, J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{146}, 154504 (2017)]; that model is characterized by additivity of the alpha and beta shear compliance and by a high-frequency decay of the alpha process in proportion to $ω^{-1/2}$ in which $ω$ is the angular frequency. The fits of the alpha part of this model to the DC704 and DC705 data are compared to fits by a Havriliak-Negami type model, the Barlow-Erginsav-Lamb model, and a Cole-Davidson type model. At all temperatures the best fit is obtained by the alpha part of the squalane model. This strengthens the conjecture that so-called $\sqrt{t}$-relaxation, leading to high-frequency decays proportional to $ω^{-1/2}$, is a general characteristic of the alpha relaxation of supercooled liquids [Dyre, Phys. Rev. E {\bf 74}, 021502 (2006); Nielsen \textit{et al.}, J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{130}, 154508 (2009); Pabst \textit{et al.}, J. Phys. Chem. Lett. \textbf{12}, 3685 (2021)].

description: A APSI – Associação para a Promoção da Segurança Infantil considera da maior relevância a publicação deste artigo sobre o conhecimento e atitude das puérperas relativamente ao transporte de crianças no automóvel, visto que o mesmo procura caracterizar alguns dos factores que contribuem para um transporte desadequado. Os resultados obtidos apontam para alguns aspectos preocupantes, nomeadamente, o nível baixo de informação de uma percentagem elevada de mães, verificando-se ainda que mais de 25% pretende transportar os seus filhos no momento da alta hospitalar ao colo ou em alcofa, ambas situações de risco elevado para a criança.

description: “Recém-nascidos na Urgência Pediátrica Hospitalar“ é um excelente estudo prospectivo que confirma que a maioria dos episódios de urgência no período neonatal são por iniciativa da família e sem justificação e que, de forma significativa, a baixa escolaridade materna e o primeiro filho determinam a procura.

Outros estudos portugueses2-4 mostram resultados semelhantes e identificam causas como a insegurança das mães jovens e inexperientes ou o atraso da primeira consulta médica nos Centros de Saúde (CS), o que reforça a necessidade de ensino e educação para a saúde e a certeza de que esta será tanto mais escassa quanto mais baixo o nível de escolaridade.

description: Although recent advances in deep learning technology improved automatic speech recognition (ASR), it remains difficult to recognize speech when it overlaps other people's voices. Speech separation or extraction is often used as a front-end to ASR to handle such overlapping speech. However, deep neural network-based speech enhancement can generate `processing artifacts' as a side effect of the enhancement, which degrades ASR performance. For example, it is well known that single-channel noise reduction for non-speech noise (non-overlapping speech) often does not improve ASR. Likewise, the processing artifacts may also be detrimental to ASR in some conditions when processing overlapping speech with a separation/extraction method, although it is usually believed that separation/extraction improves ASR. In order to answer the question `Do we always have to separate/extract speech from mixtures?', we analyze ASR performance on observed and enhanced speech at various noise and interference conditions, and show that speech enhancement degrades ASR under some conditions even for overlapping speech. Based on these findings, we propose a simple switching algorithm between observed and enhanced speech based on the estimated signal-to-interference ratio and signal-to-noise ratio. We demonstrated experimentally that such a simple switching mechanism can improve recognition performance when processing artifacts are detrimental to ASR.

description: The second-order $χ^{2}$ process underpins many important nonlinear optical applications in the field of classical and quantum optics. Generally, the $χ^{2}$ process manifests itself only in a non-centrosymmetric dielectric medium via an anharmonic electron oscillation when driven by an intense optical field. Due to inversion symmetry, group-IV semiconductors like silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge) are traditionally not considered as ideal candidates for second-order nonlinear optics applications. Here, we report the experimental observation of the second-harmonic generation (SHG) in a Ge-on-insulator (GOI) sample under femtosecond optical pumping. Specially, we report the first-time measurement of the SHG signal from a GOI sample in the telecom S-band by pumping at $\sim$$3000$ nm.

Differential diagnosis. The aedeagus of Laemoglyptus cechovskyi sp. nov. most resembles that of L. jaegeri Kazantsev, 2009, from which it differs by the much more deeply emarginate apex of the dorsal part of the aedeagus and the presence of lateral inner projections of this part, situated in ca. the midlength of it. In the other species of L. bhutanensis -subgroup there is not such a strongly curved apical portions of the dorsal part (as in L. himalayanus sp. nov.) and/or the apical emargination is much wider and rounded (cf. Figs. 22–23 and KAZANTSEV 2009).

description: In recent work, we examined how different modes in the ringdown phase of a binary coalescence are excited as a function of the final plunge geometry. At least in the large mass ratio limit, we found a clean mapping between angles describing the plunge and the amplitude of different quasi-normal modes (QNMs) which constitute the ringdown. In this study, we use that mapping to construct a waveform model expressed as a sum of QNMs where the mode amplitudes and phases are determined by the source plunge parameters. We first generate a large number of calibration waveforms and interpolate between fits of each mode amplitude and phase up to $\ell \leq 8$ and $\ell - |m| \leq 4$. The density of our calibration data allows us to resolve important features such as phase transition discontinuities at large misalignments. Using our ringdown waveform model, we then perform Bayesian parameter estimation with added white Gaussian noise to demonstrate that, in principle, the mode amplitudes can be measured and used to constrain the plunge geometry. We find that inferences are substantially improved by incorporating prior information constraining mode excitation, which motivates work to understand and characterize how the QNM excitation depends on the coalescence geometry. These results are part of a broader effort to map the mode excitation from arbitrary masses and spins, which will be useful for characterizing ringdown waves in upcoming gravitational-wave measurements.
