description: Optimal geometrical arrangements, such as the stacking of atoms, are of relevance in diverse disciplines. A classic problem is the determination of the optimal arrangement of spheres in three dimensions in order to achieve the highest packing fraction; only recently has it been proved that the answer for infinite systems is a face-centred-cubic lattice. This simply stated problem has had a profound impact in many areas, ranging from the crystallization and melting of atomic systems, to optimal packing of objects and subdivision of space. Here we study an analogous problem--that of determining the optimal shapes of closely packed compact strings. This problem is a mathematical idealization of situations commonly encountered in biology, chemistry and physics, involving the optimal structure of folded polymeric chains. We find that, in cases where boundary effects are not dominant, helices with a particular pitch-radius ratio are selected. Interestingly, the same geometry is observed in helices in naturally-occurring proteins.

description: Aims: Non-adherence is associated with poor clinical outcomes among patients with asthma. While cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is increasingly used to inform value assessment of the interventions, most do not take into account adherence in the analyses. This study aims to: (1) Understand the extent of studies considering adherence as part of the economic analyses, and (2) summarize the methods of incorporating adherence in the economic models. Materials and methods: A literature search was performed from the inception to February 2018 using four databases: PubMed, EMBASE, NHS EED, and the Tufts CEA registry. Decision model-based CEA of asthma were identified. Outcomes of interest were the number of studies incorporating adherence in the economic models, and the incorporating methods. All data were extracted using a standardized data collection form. Results: From 1,587 articles, 23 studies were decision model-based CEA of asthma, of which four CEA (17.4%) incorporated adherence in the analyses. Only the method of incorporating adherence by adjusting treatment effectiveness according to adherence levels was demonstrated in this review. Two approaches were used to derive the associations between adherence and effectiveness. The first approach was to apply a mathematical formula, developed by an expert panel, and the second was to extrapolate the associations from previous published studies. The adherence-adjusted effectiveness was then incorporated in the economic models. Conclusions: A very low number of CEA of asthma incorporated adherence in the analyses. All the CEA adjusted treatment effectiveness according to adherence levels, applied to the economic models.

description: Deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a special type of Neural Networks, which has shown exemplary performance on several competitions related to Computer Vision and Image Processing. Some of the exciting application areas of CNN include Image Classification and Segmentation, Object Detection, Video Processing, Natural Language Processing, and Speech Recognition. The powerful learning ability of deep CNN is primarily due to the use of multiple feature extraction stages that can automatically learn representations from the data. The availability of a large amount of data and improvement in the hardware technology has accelerated the research in CNNs, and recently interesting deep CNN architectures have been reported. Several inspiring ideas to bring advancements in CNNs have been explored, such as the use of different activation and loss functions, parameter optimization, regularization, and architectural innovations. However, the significant improvement in the representational capacity of the deep CNN is achieved through architectural innovations. Notably, the ideas of exploiting spatial and channel information, depth and width of architecture, and multi-path information processing have gained substantial attention. Similarly, the idea of using a block of layers as a structural unit is also gaining popularity. This survey thus focuses on the intrinsic taxonomy present in the recently reported deep CNN architectures and, consequently, classifies the recent innovations in CNN architectures into seven different categories. These seven categories are based on spatial exploitation, depth, multi-path, width, feature-map exploitation, channel boosting, and attention. Additionally, the elementary understanding of CNN components, current challenges, and applications of CNN are also provided.

description: We point out that all current Josephson-junction experiments probing directly the symmetry of the superconducting state in YBa2Cu3O7, can be interpreted in terms of the bilayer antiferromagnetic spin fluctuation model, which renders the superconducting state with the order parameters of extended $s$ symmetry, but with the opposite signs in the bonding and antibonding Cu-O plane bands. The essential part of our interpretation includes the Cu-O chain band which would have the order parameter of the same sign as antibonding plane band. We show that in this case net Josephson currents along and perpendicular to the chains have the phase shift equal to pi.

description: The host range of Brucella organisms has expanded from terrestrial and marine mammals to fish and amphibians. The high homology genomes of different Brucella organisms promote us to investigate evolutionary patterns for nucleotide, codon and amino acid usage patterns at gene levels among Brucella species. Although the similar patterns for nucleotide and synonymous codon usages exist in gene population, GC composition at the first codon position has significant correlations to that of the second and third codon positions, respectively, suggesting that nucleotide usages surrounding one codon influence synonymous codon usage patterns. Evolutionary patterns represented by synonymous codon and amino acid usages reflect host factor impacting Brucella speciation. As for genetic variations of important virulent factors involved with different biological functions, genes encoding lipoplysaccharides (LPSs) display more distinctive codon adaptation to Brucella than those of the BvrR/BvrS system and type IV secretion system. By Bayesian analysis, the polygenetic constructions for these genes of virulent factors shared by Brucella species display the purifying / positive selections and partially host factor in mediating genetic variations of these genes. The systemic analyses for nucleotide, synonymous codon and amino acid usages at gene level and genetic variations of important virulent factor genes display that host limitation influences either genetic characterizations at gene level or a particular gene involved in virulent factors of Brucella.

description: In the recent years, the field of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is thriving and growing rapidly. It is of interest to study cosmology by using FRBs with known redshifts. In the present work, we try to test the possible cosmic anisotropy with the simulated FRBs. In particular, we only consider the possible dipole in FRBs, rather than the cosmic anisotropy in general, while the analysis is only concerned with finding the rough number of necessary data points to distinguish a dipole from a monopole structure through simulations. Noting that there is no a large sample of actual data of FRBs with known redshifts by now, simulations are necessary to this end. We find that at least 2800, 190, 100 FRBs are competent to find the cosmic dipole with amplitude 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, respectively. Unfortunately, even 10000 FRBs are not competent to find the tiny cosmic dipole with amplitude of ${\cal O}(10^{-3})$. On the other hand, at least 20 FRBs with known redshifts are competent to find the cosmic dipole with amplitude 0.1. We expect that such a big cosmic dipole could be ruled out by using only a few tens of FRBs with known redshifts in the near future.

description: Global agencies, framed by peace institutions, are struggling to prevent or constrain existing conflicts, letalone new ones. Numerous nations and organisations exacerbate enmities through the pursuit of power,‘security’, greed and self-interest. In doing so, some actively undermine the institutional rationale oforganisations such as the United Nations (UN). Generations of activists, scholars, diplomats, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and UN organizations have attempted to ‘fix’ peace institutions aswell as challenge those who undermine them2. As such, all parties are engaged in ‘institutional work’ -the ‘purposive action aimed at creating, maintaining and disrupting institutions’3.We argue that there are two distinct but interrelated categories of institutional work with greatconsequences for peace institutions: ‘peaceshaping’ and ‘warshaping’. We define peaceshaping as thedisruption of institutions which sustain enmity and the creation and preservation of institutions whichconstrain enmity and build amity. Conversely, we define warshaping as the disruption of institutionswhich sustain amity and the creation and preservation of institutions which constrains amity and buildsenmity.

description: Seeds of Monodora myristica and M. tenuifolia were extracted with hexane and the extracts were subjected to column chromatography, LC-MS and NMR analysis. In addition to masses of previously isolated compounds, other masses corresponding to unidentified compounds from the plants were detected. Using 2 D NMR techniques, one of the fractions from M. tenuifolia was characterised as a novel 13-(2-butylcyclopropyl)-6,9-dodecadienoic acid. However, none of the compounds detected in LC-MS corresponded to the ones previously identified by GC-MS.

description: A key prediction of the trap model for the new conducting state in 2D is that the resistivity turns upwards below some characteristic temperature, $T_{\rm min}$. Altshuler, Maslov, and Pudalov have argued that the reason why no upturn has been observed for the low density conducting samples is that the temperature was not low enough in the experiments. We show here that $T_{\rm min}$ within the Altshuler, Maslov, and Pudalov trap model actually increases with decreasing density, contrary to their claim. Consequently, the trap model is not consistent with the experimental trends.

description: We present a theory for disordered interacting electrons that can describe both the Mott and the Anderson transition in the respective limits of zero disorder and zero interaction. We use it to investigate the T=0 Mott-Anderson transition at a fixed electron density, as a the disorder strength is increased. Surprisingly, we find two critical values of disorder W_{nfl} and W_c. For W > W_{nfl}, the system enters a ``Griffiths'' phase, displaying metallic non-Fermi liquid behavior. At even stronger disorder, W=W_c > W_{nfl} the system undergoes a metal insulator transition, characterized by the linear vanishing of both the typical density of states and the typical quasiparticle weight.

description: We generalize the notion of tight geodesics in the curve complex to tight trees. We then use tight trees to construct model geometries for certain surface bundles over graphs. This extends some aspects of the combinatorial model for doubly degenerate hyperbolic 3-manifolds developed by Brock, Canary, and Minsky during the course of their proof of the Ending Lamination Theorem. Thus we obtain uniformly Gromov-hyperbolic geometric model spaces equipped with geometric $G-$actions, where $G$ admits an exact sequence of the form $$1 \to π_1(S) \to G \to Q \to 1.$$ Here $S$ is a closed surface of genus $g > 1$ and $Q$ belongs to a special class of free convex cocompact subgroups of the mapping class group $MCG(S)$.

description: Contact time dependence of adhesion force demands clarification. Under a humid condition, with some tipless silica cantilevers, adhesion forces on silica and silica-based graphene were measured with an atomic force microscope (AFM) to investigate the dependence and the role of surface hydrophilicity in the dependence. The results show that hydrophobic graphene can shield the contact time dependence and instability with repeated contacts at a silica/silica interface. Depending on surface hydrophilicity, there are three different adhesion force behaviors with dwell time for the silica/silica contact: (1) three stages with stable-increasing-stable trends; (2) logarithmic increase; (3) independence. Furthermore, the adhesion force at the silica/silica interface is greatly influenced by repeated contacts with an unstable behavior. These behaviors are mainly attributed to the evolution process of a liquid bridge. However, adhesion forces on graphene do not depend on dwell time, and the factor of repeated contacts has little effect on the results. These behaviors at the silica/graphene interface are attributed to the hydrophobic property and chemical inertness of the graphene. The outcomes presented here can help to reveal the adhesion mechanism and promote the anti-adhesion design for silicon-based structures and devices in the microscale and nanoscale.

 Lepidozona subtilis Berry, 1956: 71–74. Chresonymy and synonymy in Kaas & Van Belle (1987).
 Type material. Holotype, SBMNH 34432 ex. “Berry collection 15132”.
 Type locality. Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, México (Kaas & Van Belle 1987).
 Material examined. 284 specimens, BL 6.1–19.7 mm.
 Habitat. On semi–humid large and medium–sized rocks buried in sand with brown and red crusty algae patches exposed during low tide. At Playa Cementerio and Playa Gringa in the Bahía de los Ángeles, Baja California (BC) it was found on a substrate with abundant anemones and ascidians, asteroids, ophiuroids, and holothuroids.
 Remarks. This species has a nodular radial sculpture (Figs. 7A–C) and lateral areas with 4–6 fine grooves (Fig. 7B). Aesthetes with 6–9 microaesthetes (Fig. 7D). Radula with bicuspid major lateral and bilobate minor lateral tooth (Figs. 7E–F).
 Ferreira (1974) proposed that L. subtilis is distributed from 26°N in the Gulf of California up to Puerto Peñasco including Puerto Lobos, Bahía San Pedro, Guaymas, San Felipe, Puertecitos, Bahía San Luis Gonzaga, Bahía de los Ángeles, and Bahía San Francisquito. Most of this distribution accounts were based on field observations, specimens from the collection of the California Academy of Sciences, and private collections (Allyn G. Smith and George Hanselman). We recorded this species from Bahía Kino to Bahía de los Ángeles, BC which coincides with the distribution reported by Ferreira (1974).
 This species was the most numerous in our samples, representing 40% of the total number of specimens, and was present at almost all sampling sites, except Bahía San Carlos, Sonora. The studied specimens have varied coloration patterns of red, orange, yellow, olive green, dark green, and beige with combinations of these colors in spots or lines as was also reported by Ferreira (1974). We also observed a variable number of ribs in the adult individuals and no apparent relationship between rib number and body length. These variations were also pointed out by Ferreira (1974), who found that L. subtilis differs from its congeners by the absence of a protuberance (horn) on the apical edge of the scales.

description: We report with single particle simulations that longitudinal chromatism, a commonly occuring spatio-temporal coupling in ultrashort laser pulses, can have a significant influence in the longitudinal acceleration of electrons via high-power, tightly-focused radially polarized laser beams. This effect can be advantageous, and even more-so when combined with small values of temporal chirp. However, the effect can also be highly destructive when the magnitude and sign of the longitudinal chromatism is not ideal, even at very small magnitudes. This motivates the characterization and understanding of the driving laser pulses, and further study of the influence of similar low-order spatial-temporal couplings on such acceleration.

description: Certain (3+1)-dimensional chiral non-Abelian gauge theories have been shown to exhibit a new type of global gauge anomaly, which in the Hamiltonian formulation is due to the fermion zero-modes of a Z-string-like configuration of the gauge potential and the corresponding spectral flow. Here, we clarify the relation between this Z-string global gauge anomaly and other anomalies in both 3+1 and 2+1 dimensions. We then point out a possible trade-off between the (3+1)-dimensional Z-string global gauge anomaly and the violation of CPT and Lorentz invariance.

description: The phenomenon of an excitable system producing a pulse under external or internal stimulation may be interpreted as a stochastic escape problem. This work addresses this issue by examining the Morris-Lecar neural model driven by symmetric α-stable Lévy motion. Two deterministic indices: the first escape probability and the mean first exit time, are adopted to analyse the state transition in this stochastic model. We calculate both indices in order to understand the transition from the escape region to the target region, and the area of higher indices in escape region. Additionally, we consider the special case of (Gaussian) Brownian motion to compare with (non-Gaussian) Lévy motion case. Our main results indicate that higher first escape probability promotes the transition, while the mean first exit time reflects the stability of the rest state with the selected escape region. The higher non-Gaussianity index and relatively small noise intensity are more prone to produce spikes. Moreover, by calculating both deterministic indices as functions of noise intensity ratio and non-Gaussianity index, we find that the effect of ion channel noise is more pronounced on the stochastic Morris-Lecar model than noise in the current. This work provides some mathematical understanding about the impact of non-Gaussian, heavy-tailed, burst-like fluctuations on excitable systems such as the Morris-Lecar system.

description: Aims: Non-adherence is associated with poor clinical outcomes among patients with asthma. While cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is increasingly used to inform value assessment of the interventions, most do not take into account adherence in the analyses. This study aims to: (1) Understand the extent of studies considering adherence as part of the economic analyses, and (2) summarize the methods of incorporating adherence in the economic models. Materials and methods: A literature search was performed from the inception to February 2018 using 4 databases: PubMed, EMBASE, NHS EED, and the Tufts CEA registry. Decision model-based CEA of asthma were identified. Outcomes of interest were the number of studies incorporating adherence in the economic models, and the incorporating methods. All data were extracted using a standardized data collection form. Results: From 1,587 articles, 23 studies were decision model-based CEA of asthma, of which 4 CEA (17.4%) incorporated adherence in the analyses. Only the method of incorporating adherence by adjusting treatment effectiveness according to adherence levels was demonstrated in this review. Two approaches were used to derive the associations between adherence and effectiveness. The first approach was to apply a mathematical formula, developed by an expert panel, and the second was to extrapolate the associations from previous published studies. The adherence-adjusted effectiveness was then incorporated in the economic models. Conclusions: A very low number of CEA of asthma incorporated adherence in the analyses. All the CEA adjusted treatment effectiveness according to adherence levels, applied to the economic models.

spool requires very tight dimensional tolerances that both must be checked by the operator
and quality technician every hour to insure dimensions are within specifications.
The goal of this project is to find the process in which Mold M1060 will produce parts at
the lowest standard deviation. A process capability was done to vary the Melt Temperatures,
hold pressure, and mold temperatures. It is recommended the Mold M1060 be plated, to
produce the best product.

description: Social and behavioral scientists are increasingly employing technologies such as fMRI, smartphones, and gene sequencing, which yield 'high-dimensional' datasets with more columns than rows. There is increasing interest, but little substantive theory, in the role the variables in these data play in known processes. This necessitates exploratory mediation analysis, for which structural equation modeling is the benchmark method. However, this method cannot perform mediation analysis with more variables than observations. One option is to run a series of univariate mediation models, which incorrectly assumes independence of the mediators. Another option is regularization, but the available implementations may lead to high false positive rates. In this paper, we develop a hybrid approach which uses components of both filter and regularization: the 'Coordinate-wise Mediation Filter'. It performs filtering conditional on the other selected mediators. We show through simulation that it improves performance over existing methods. Finally, we provide an empirical example, showing how our method may be used for epigenetic research.

description: [transcription] Monsieur,
J’ai bien des remerciements à vous faire pour la complaisance que vous avez eue de m’envoyer l’inscription trouvée à Glanum. On m’en avait adressé une copie dont les deux premières lignes étaient tronquées, aussi ne les ai-je pas entendues. Mais comme l’article de Glanum s’imprimait alors, je la fis imprimer telle quelle, n’ayant pas eu le temps de vous demander si vous n’en aviez pas une copie exacte et n’ayant trouvé personne ici à Paris qui put me satisfaire sur cet article. Voici de quelle manière était conçue l’inscription qu’on m’envoya. Je n’en rapporterai que les trois premières lignes parce que dans le reste elle est conforme à la vôtre, si ce n’est qu’on lit LXXIV, au lieu de LXX.

Je vous avoue que ce TE Rm’embarrassait et qu’il me ferait soupçonner [fol. 90 v] une faute, mais je n’eus aucun indice pour le découvrir. J’étais d’ailleurs pressé pour l’impression et je fis ce qui arrive toujours dans ce cas-là, je tombais dans une erreur. Mais j’aurai occasion de la corriger à la fin du volume dans l’endroit où je donne l’explication des monuments de Saint-Rémy. Je voudrais bien savoir quelles sont vos conjectures sur ces monuments. Faites-moi aussi le plaisir de me dire ce que vous entendez par les corporati et juniores qu’on trouve quelquefois dans les collèges sacerdotaux. J’ai là-dessus des idées que je n’ai pas trop le temps de vous développer, mais que, vraisemblablement, je rectifierai sur les vôtres. Les lettres que je vous écris sont délicieuses pour moi, car indépendamment du plaisir que je trouve à m’entretenir avec vous, je sais me les rendre utiles par les lumières que je tire de vos réponses. Mais vous savez bien que vous n’obligez point un ingrat et que j’ai droit à votre amitié par l’attachement sincère et respectueux avec lequel je serai toute la vie, Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur.

Papon de l’Oratoire.

Paris, le 5 février 1777.

description: In this essay we explore climate peaceshaping. We outline debates on the climate-security nexus thenpresent our thoughts on the key characteristics of ‘climate peaceshaping work’ which we define as thedisruption of institutions which sustain climate enmity and the creation and preservation of institutions whichconstrain climate enmity and build amity.In doing so we use the example of water because water quality, quantity and availability will have amajor impact as the climate emergency intensifies. Water related hazards will increase: floods, droughts,sand and dust storms, fires and extreme temperatures. There will be too much, too little and/or too dirtywater. All ecological and human systems will be affected. The securitization and weaponization of wateris already happening 7. Water, therefore, is a powerful lens by which to explore climate peaceshaping.

description: We develop an exact sum rule that relates the spectral shift of a trapped gas undergoing cold collisions to measurable quantities of the system. The method demonstrates the dependence of the cold collision frequency shift on the quantum degeneracy of the gas and facilitates extracting scattering lengths from the data. We apply the method to analyzing spectral data for magnetically trapped hydrogen atoms and determine the value of the $1S-2S$ scattering length.

Isospin amplitudes and CP violation in $(B \to Kπ)$ decays

description: We present a simple isospin invariant parametrization for $(B \to Kπ)$ decay amplitudes which consistently includes CP violation and (quasi-elastic) hadronic final states interactions. We find that the observed $(B \to Kπ)$ decays do not lead to a significant bound on the angle $γ$ of the unitarity triangle. On the other hand, we claim that a sizeable CP violation asymmetry in $(B^{\pm} \to Kπ^{\pm})$ rates is by no means excluded.

Higher-derivative harmonic oscillators: stability of classical dynamics and adiabatic invariants

description: The status of classical stability in higher-derivative systems is still subject to discussions. In this note, we argue that, contrary to general belief, many higher-derivative systems are classically stable. The main tool to see this property are Nekhoroshev's estimates relying on the action-angle formulation of classical mechanics. The latter formulation can be reached provided the Hamiltonian is separable, which is the case for higher-derivative harmonic oscillators. The Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillators appear to be the only type of higher-derivative harmonic oscillator with stable classical dynamics. A wide class of interaction potentials can even be added that preserve classical stability. Adiabatic invariants are built in the case of a Pais-Uhlenbeck oscillator slowly changing in time; it is shown indeed that the dynamical stability is not jeopardised by the time-dependent perturbation.

description: The oxidation behavior of Cr2AlC MAX phase coatings with columnar and equiaxed morphologies is compared. After oxidation at 1100°C for 240 min the Cr2AlC MAX phase coatings with equiaxed grains showed a 20% lower scale thickness and a 52% larger scale grain size as the coatings with columnar grains. Transmission electron microscopy data suggests that this is primarily caused by nanopores (2–25 nm) present in the columnar grain boundaries. As their presence has previously been overlooked, a 20% improvement of the high temperature oxidation behavior of Cr2AlC coatings is obtained if the formation of nanopores is avoided. This is the first report on the formation of nanopores at grain boundaries of Cr2AlC coatings and their implications for the oxidation behavior. Avoiding the previously overlooked presence of nanopores at the grain boundaries of the as grown coatings enables a significant improvement in high temperature oxidation behavior of Cr2AlC coatings.
