Logarithmic corrections in (4+1)-dimensional directed percolation

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We simulate directed site percolation on two lattices with 4 spatial and 1 time-like dimensions (simple and body-centered hypercubic in space) with the standard single cluster spreading scheme. For efficiency, the code uses the same ingredients (hashing, histogram re-weighing, and improved estimators) as described in Phys. Rev. {\bf E 67}, 036101 (2003). Apart from providing the most precise estimates for $p_c$ on these lattices, we provide a detailed comparison with the logarithmic corrections calculated by Janssen and Stenull [Phys. Rev. {\bf E 69}, 016125 (2004)]. Fits with the leading logarithmic terms alone would give estimates of the powers of these logarithms which are too big by typically 50%. When the next-to-leading terms are included, each of the measured quantities (the average number of sites wetted at time $t$, their average distance from the seed, and the probability of cluster survival) can be fitted nearly perfectly. But these fits would not be mutually consistent. With a consistent set of fit parameters, one obtains still much improvement over the leading log - approximation. In particular we show that there is one combination of these three observables which seems completely free of logarithmic terms.

description: To improve the efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) as biocontrol agents in the field, knowledge about the kinds of impact, which the physical nature of the agricultural soil environment may have on nematode survival, persistence, and host location is important. The study aimed to investigate the effects which the addition of organic soil amendments would have on the duration of infectivity and survivorship of infective juveniles (IJs) belonging to Heterorhabditis bacteriophora in soils undergoing progressive moisture loss. The soil amendments involved mixing commercially available organic compost such as mulch, organic compost, professional potting mix, organic lawn dressing with two soil textural classes, namely loamy soil, and coarse river sand. Using Petri dish-based assays, the mulch soil amendment resulted in the highest Galleria mellonella larval mortality rate across different organic compost application concentrations (mass: mass basis). The type of compost used based on its feedstock composition, the concentration of nutrients, and organic matter mixed with a specific type of soil texture had a significant effect on the tolerance of EPNs to different dehydration periods. Virulence and efficacy decreased over 7 days of progressive dehydration. The use of organic compost did not have any detrimental effect on EPNs. The knowledge obtained could be applied to increase the effectiveness of entomopathogenic nematodes as biocontrol agents.

description: Recent advances in intelligent sensors, microelectronics and integrated circuit, system-on-chip design and low power wireless communication introduced the development of miniaturised and autonomous sensor nodes. These tiny sensor nodes can be deployed to develop a proactive Body Sensor Network (BSN). The rapid advancement in ultra low-power RF (radio frequency) technology enables invasive and non-invasive devices to communicate with a remote station. This communication revolutionizes healthcare system by enabling long term health monitoring of a patient and providing real time feedback to the medical experts. In this paper, we present In-body and On-body communication networks with a special focus on the methodologies of wireless communication between implanted medical devices with external monitoring equipment and recent technological growth in both areas. We also discuss open issues and challenges in a BSN.

description: The formation energies for mono- and bivacancies in graphene in the presence of adatoms of various metals and small metallic clusters have been calculated. It is shown that transition metal impurities, such as iron, nickel and, especially, cobalt reduce dramatically the vacancy formation energies whereas gold impurities have almost no effect on characteristics of the vacancies. This results highlight that special measures are required in order to protect graphene from damage by transition metal leads.

description: We explore a promising method of generating pure heralded single photons. Our approach is based on parametric downconversion in a periodically-poled waveguide. However, unlike conventional downconversion sources, the photon pairs are counter-propagating: one travels with the pump beam in the forward direction while the other is backpropagating towards the laser source. Our calculations reveal that these downconverted two-photon states carry minimal spectral correlations within each photon-pair. This approach offers the possibility to employ a new range of downconversion processes and materials like PPLN (previously considered unsuitable due to their unfavorable phasematching properties) to herald pure single photons over a broad frequency range.

description: The classical Whitney formula relates the number of times an oriented plane curve cuts itself to its rotation number and the index of a base point. In this paper we generalize Whitney's formula to curves on an oriented punctured surface. To define analogs of the rotation number and the index of a base point of a curve, we fix an arbitrary vector field on the surface. Similar formulas are obtained for non-based curves.

description: A popular technique used to obtain linear representations of nonlinear systems is the so-called Koopman approach, where the nonlinear dynamics are lifted to a (possibly infinite dimensional) linear space through nonlinear functions called observables. In the lifted space, the dynamics are linear and represented by a so-called Koopman operator. While the Koopman theory was originally introduced for autonomous systems, it has been widely used to derive linear time-invariant (LTI) models for nonlinear systems with inputs through various approximation schemes such as the extended dynamics mode decomposition (EDMD). However, recent extensions of the Koopman theory show that the lifting process for such systems results in a linear parameter-varying (LPV) model instead of an LTI form. As LTI Koopman model based control has been successfully used in practice and it is generally temping to use such LTI descriptions of nonlinear systems, due to the simplicity of the associated control tool chain, a systematic approach is needed to synthesise optimal LTI approximations of LPV Koopman models compared to the ad-hoc schemes such as EDMD, which is based on least-squares regression. In this work, we introduce optimal LTI Koopman approximations of exact Koopman models of nonlinear systems with inputs by using l2-gain and generalized H2 norm performance measures. We demonstrate the advantages of the proposed Koopman modelling procedure compared to EDMD.

description: We study the appearance of a novel phenomenon for linearly coupled identical bursters: synchronized bursts where there are changes of spike synchrony within each burst. The examples we study are for normal form elliptic bursters where there is a periodic slow passage through a Bautin (codimension two degenerate Andronov-Hopf) bifurcation. This burster has a subcritical Andronov-Hopf bifurcation at the onset of repetitive spiking while end of burst occurs via a fold limit cycle bifurcation. We study synchronization behavior of two and three Bautin-type elliptic bursters for a linear direct coupling scheme. Burst synchronization is known to be prevalent behavior among such coupled bursters, while spike synchronization is more dependent on the details of the coupling. We note that higher order terms in the normal form that do not affect the behavior of a single burster can be responsible for changes in synchrony pattern; more precisely, we find within-burst synchrony changes associated with a turning point in the spiking frequency.

I группы (n = 48) послеоперационные осложнения в виде брахиоплексита наблюдались в 16,7 % случаев (n = 8),
повреждение диафрагмального нерва – в 4,1 % (n = 2) случаев, гемо- и пневмоторакс – у 2 (4,1 %) больных. Больным II группы (n = 24) для выбора оптимального хирургического доступа дополнительно проводилась электронейромиография и спиральная компьютерная томография, что позволило снизить частоту ранних послеоперационных осложнений: удалось ликвидировать аномалии лестничных мышц в 58 % случаев (n = 14); фиброзные тяжи, сдавливающие сосудисто-нервный пучок, – в 42 % (n = 10) случаев. Брахиоплексит наблюдался в 4,2 % случаев, что на порядок меньше, чем в I группе. Других осложнений во II группе, а также летальных исходов в обеих группах не было.

description: We consider the problem of detecting distributional changes in a sequence of high dimensional data. Our approach combines two separate statistics stemming from $L_p$ norms whose behavior is similar under $H_0$ but potentially different under $H_A$, leading to a testing procedure that that is flexible against a variety of alternatives. We establish the asymptotic distribution of our proposed test statistics separately in cases of weakly dependent and strongly dependent coordinates as $\min\{N,d\}\to\infty$, where $N$ denotes sample size and $d$ is the dimension, and establish consistency of testing and estimation procedures in high dimensions under one-change alternative settings. Computational studies in single and multiple change point scenarios demonstrate our method can outperform other nonparametric approaches in the literature for certain alternatives in high dimensions. We illustrate our approach though an application to Twitter data concerning the mentions of U.S. Governors.

description: We have carried out calculations of current-voltage characteristics for the electron tunnel current through a junction with a thin insulating ferroelectric barrier assuming that interface transmissions for the left and right interfaces noticeably differ due to dissimilarity of the interfaces. Obtained conductance versus voltage and current versus voltage curves exhibit well distinguishable asymmetric hysteresis. We show that the asymmetry in the hysteretic effects could originate from the asymmetric bias voltage profile inside the junction. In particular, we analyze the hysteresis asymmetries occurring when the bias voltage distribution is low sensitive to the spontaneous polarization reversal.

description: Pruning neural networks, i.e., removing some of their parameters whilst retaining their accuracy, is one of the main ways to reduce the latency of a machine learn- ing pipeline, especially in resource- and/or bandwidth-constrained scenarios. In this context, the pruning tech- nique, i.e., how to choose the parameters to remove, is crit- ical to the system performance. In this paper, we propose a novel pruning approach, called FlexRel and predicated upon combining training-time and inference-time infor- mation, namely, parameter magnitude and relevance, in order to improve the resulting accuracy whilst saving both computational resources and bandwidth. Our performance evaluation shows that FlexRel is able to achieve higher pruning factors, saving over 35% bandwidth for typical accuracy targets.

Nonlinear Bayesian Estimation with Convex Sets of Probability Densities
Creators: name: Noack, Benjamin
name: Klumpp, Vesa
name: Brunn, Dietrich
name: Hanebeck, Uwe D.
Publisher: name: Karlsruhe
Year: 2008

description: This paper presents a theoretical framework for Bayesian estimation in the case of imprecisely known probability density functions. The lack of knowledge about the true density functions is represented by sets of densities. A formal Bayesian estimator for these sets is introduced, which is intractable for infinite sets. To obtain a tractable filter, properties of convex sets in form of convex polytopes of densities are investigated. It is shown that pathwise connected sets and their convex hulls describe the same ignorance. Thus, an exact algorithm is derived, which only needs to process the hull, delivering tractable results in the case of a proper parametrization. Since the estimator delivers a convex hull of densities as output, the theoretical grounds are laid for deriving efficient Bayesian estimators for sets of densities. The derived filter is illustrated by means of an example.

Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Markov chains are a class of probabilistic models that have achieved widespread application in the quantitative sciences. This is in part due to their versatility, but is compounded by the ease with which they can be probed analytically. This tutorial provides an in-depth introduction to Markov chains, and explores their connection to graphs and random walks. We utilize tools from linear algebra and graph theory to describe the transition matrices of different types of Markov chains, with a particular focus on exploring properties of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors corresponding to these matrices. The results presented are relevant to a number of methods in machine learning and data mining, which we describe at various stages. Rather than being a novel academic study in its own right, this text presents a collection of known results, together with some new concepts. Moreover, the tutorial focuses on offering intuition to readers rather than formal understanding, and only assumes basic exposure to concepts from linear algebra and probability theory. It is therefore accessible to students and researchers from a wide variety of disciplines.
The elastic behaviour of thin cylindrical shells.
Creators: name: Lam, P
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis is concerned with the study of the behaviour of thin cylindrical.shells. Besides their many technical uses, cylindrical shells are relatively easy to analyse mathematically, because of their simple geometry; at the same time they exhibit nearly all types of behaviour that one also finds in more complicated shell systems; thus they make . a good introduction to the study of shells. The object is to obtain a basic understanding of the way cylindrical shells carry their loads. Once this understanding is achieved, realistic simplification of the real problem is possible, allowing the setting up of mathematical model's. One way of doing this is to observe how a shell deforms through laboratory models. Cylindrical shells have been extensively investigated mathematically .during recent years. The purpose of this thesis is to present the basic elements of shell theory in a simple manner which conforms with- modern ideas, of structural analysis, and also to study shell behaviour through some simple experimental tests and measurements and numerical calculations. It is believed that, at present, more insight into actual behaviour of structures can be obtained through this approach than through complex mathematical analysis. The basic mathematical information required for a solution to a shell problem can be conveniently classified into three basic sets of data; the equations of statics, the equations of geometry and the load-deformation relations. These data are developed in Chapter I from basic elementary principles of statics, geometry,and material properties.

Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1939

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Amyloid fibrillar aggregates play a critical role in many neurodegenerative disorders. Conversion of globular proteins into fibrils is associated with global conformational rearrangement and involves the transformation of α-helices to β-sheets. In the present work, the accelerated molecular dynamics technique was applied to study the unfolding of hen egg-white lysozyme at elevated temperatures, and the transformation of the native structure to a disordered one was analyzed. The influence of the disulfide bonds on the conformational dynamics and the energy landscape of denaturation process was considered. Our results show that formation of the metastable β-enriched conformers of individual protein molecules may precede the aggregation process. These β-rich intermediates can play a role of bricks making up fibrils. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: Multispectroscopic and computational methods of exploring the interaction between a carrier protein and therapeutic compounds provide a preliminary investigation into establishing the efficacy of such compounds. Here, two coumarin derivatives, 7-hydroxycoumarin (7-HC) and 4-methyl-7-hydroxycoumarin (4-Me-7-HC), were selected to carry out numerous biophysical interaction studies with a model carrier protein, hen egg white lysozyme (HEWL). Fluorescence spectroscopy studies conducted between HEWL and 7-HC/4-Me-7-HC revealed the binding constants (Kb) were in the range of 104 M−1, indicating a moderate nature of binding. The quenching mechanism observed during complexation process was an unusual static quenching due to the effect of temperature on the rate constant. Thermodynamic parameters revealed a positive ΔH and ΔS for HEWL-7-HC/4-Me-7-HC, indicating hydrophobic forces played a dominant role in the interaction process. FRET studies suggested a possible non-radiative energy transfer from the donor (HEWL) to the acceptor (coumarins). Molecular docking studies revealed the interaction of 7-HC/4-Me-7-HC with intrinsic fluorophores, Trp63 and Trp108, Trp108 being an essential residue for binding as proven by molecular dynamic (MD) simulation. MD simulation studies also indicated conformational stability gained by HEWL upon interaction with 7-HC and 4-Me-7-HC. The microenvironment surrounding the Trp residues showed a significant Stoke’s shift on carrying out 3-D fluorescence. CD studies revealed a decrease in the alpha helical content of HEWL upon interacting with the ligands. Enzymatic assay conducted for HEWL in the presence of 7-HC/4-Me-7-HC saw an increase in the activity of HEWL, suggesting a change in structural conformation and stability of the protein, altering its activity.

The targum (1939:Nov. 1 - 1939:Nov. 29)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1939

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Momentum space three-body Faddeev-like equations are used to calculate elastic, transfer and charge exchange reactions resulting from the scattering of deuterons on 12C and 16O or protons on 13C and 17O; 12C and 16O are treated as inert cores. All possible reactions are calculated in the framework of the same model space. Comparison with previous calculations based on approximate methods used in nuclear reaction theory is discussed.

description: In this paper we present an analytic study of sampled networks in the case of some important shortest-path sampling models. We present analytic formulas for the probability of edge discovery in the case of an evolving and a static network model. We also show that the number of discovered edges in a finite network scales much slower than predicted by earlier mean field models. Finally, we calculate the degree distribution of sampled networks, and we demonstrate that they are analogous to a destructed network obtained by randomly removing edges from the original network.

description: As the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic continues to pose a health and economic crisis worldwide, the quest for drugs and/or vaccines against the virus continues. The human transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) has attracted attention as a target for drug discovery, as inhibition of its catalytic reaction would result in the inactivation of the proteolytic cleavage of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein. As a result, the inactivation prevents viral cell entry to the host’s cell. In this work, we screened and identified two potent molecules that interact and inhibit the catalytic reaction by using computational approaches. Two docking screening experiments were performed utilizing the crystal structure and holo ensemble structure obtained from molecular dynamics in bound form. There is enhancement and sensitivity of docking results to the holo ensemble as compared to the crystal structure. Compound 1 demonstrated a similar inhibition value to nafamostat by interacting with catalytic triad residues His296 and Ser441, thereby disrupting the already established hydrogen bond interaction. The stability of the ligand–TMPRSS2 complexes was studied by molecular dynamics simulation, and the binding energy was re-scored by using molecular mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) binding free energy. The obtained compounds may serve as an initial point toward the discovery of potent TMPRSS2 inhibitors upon further in vivo validation. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma
Cosmic ray lepton puzzle in the light of cosmological N-body simulations

description: The PAMELA and ATIC collaborations have recently reported an excess in the cosmic ray positron and electron fluxes. These lepton anomalies might be related to cold dark matter (CDM) particles annihilating within a nearby dark matter clump. We outline regions of the parameter space for both the dark matter subhalo and particle model, where data from the different experiments are reproduced. We then confront this interpretation of the data with the results of the cosmological N-body simulation Via Lactea II. Having a sizable clump (Vmax = 9km/s) at a distance of only 1.2 kpc could explain the PAMELA excess, but such a configuration has a probability of only 0.37 percent. Reproducing also the ATIC bump would require a very large, nearby subhalo, which is extremely unlikely (p~3.10^-5). In either case, we predict Fermi will detect the gamma-ray emission from the subhalo. We conclude that under canonical assumptions, the cosmic ray lepton anomalies are unlikely to originate from a nearby CDM subhalo.

Poisson-Boltzmann cell model for heterogeneously charged colloids

description: We introduce the Poisson-Boltzmann cell model for spherical colloidal particles with a heterogeneous surface charge distribution. This model is obtained by generalizing existing cell models for mixtures of homogeneously charged colloidal spheres. Our new model has similar features as Onsager's second-virial theory for liquid crystals, but it predicts no orientational ordering if there is no positional ordering. This implies that all phases of heterogeneously charged colloids that are liquid-like with respect to translational degrees of freedom are also isotropic with respect to particle orientation.

Study of the $CP$ property of the Higgs boson to electroweak boson coupling in the VBF $H\toγγ$ channel with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A test of $CP$ invariance in Higgs boson production via vector-boson fusion has been performed in the $H\rightarrowγγ$ channel using 139 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s}=13\,\mathrm{TeV}$ collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The Optimal Observable method is used to probe the $CP$ structure of interactions between the Higgs boson and electroweak gauge bosons, as described by an effective field theory. No sign of $CP$ violation is observed in data. Constraints are set on the parameters describing the strength of the $CP$-odd component in the coupling between the Higgs boson and the electroweak gauge bosons in two effective field theory bases: $\tilde{d}$ in the HISZ basis and $c_{H\tilde{W}}$ in the Warsaw basis. The results presented are the most stringent constraints on $CP$ violation in the coupling between Higgs and weak bosons. The 95% CL constraint on $\tilde{d}$ is derived for the first time and the 95% CL constraint on $c_{H\tilde{W}}$ has been improved by a factor of 5 compared to the previous measurement.

description: In Mixed-Methods-Designs können im Prinzip sehr viele verschiedene Methoden miteinander kombiniert werden. In der politikwissenschaftlichen Literatur hat sich allerdings unter der Hand ein de-facto-Standard etabliert, der in einer Kombination aus Fallstudie und Regressionsanalyse besteht. Gegen diese Verengung der Perspektive stellen wir ein integriertes multidimensionales Mixed Methods-Design vor, in dem die einzelnen methodischen Zugänge jeweils genutzt werden, um Teildimensionen einer mehrdimensionalen Forschungsfrage zu beantworten. Am Beispiel einer Studie über den Wandel der Legitimation ökonomischer Ordnungen demonstrieren wir die Vorteile unseres Ansatzes. Mit einer Kombination aus deskriptiver Statistik, Diskursnetzwerkanalyse und Narrationsanalyse gehen wir der Forschungsfrage nach, ob die 2008 beginnende Finanzkrise zu einer Legitimationskrise des Kapitalismus geführt hat.
