description: We investigate the geometric characterization of pure state bipartite entanglement of $(2\times{D})$- and $(3\times{D})$-dimensional composite quantum systems. To this aim, we analyze the relationship between states and their images under the action of particular classes of local unitary operations. We find that invariance of states under the action of single-qubit and single-qutrit transformations is a necessary and sufficient condition for separability. We demonstrate that in the $(2\times{D})$-dimensional case the von Neumann entropy of entanglement is a monotonic function of the minimum squared Euclidean distance between states and their images over the set of single qubit unitary transformations. Moreover, both in the $(2\times{D})$- and in the $(3\times{D})$-dimensional cases the minimum squared Euclidean distance exactly coincides with the linear entropy (and thus as well with the tangle measure of entanglement in the $(2\times{D})$-dimensional case). These results provide a geometric characterization of entanglement measures originally established in informational frameworks. Consequences and applications of the formalism to quantum critical phenomena in spin systems are discussed.

description: BACKGROUND: In this study, we investigated the efficacy of current state-of-the-art neural sentence embedding models for semantic similarity estimation of sentences from biomedical literature. We trained different neural embedding models on 1.7 million articles from the PubMed Open Access dataset, and evaluated them based on a biomedical benchmark set containing 100 sentence pairs annotated by human experts and a smaller contradiction subset derived from the original benchmark set. RESULTS: With a Pearson correlation of 0.819, our best unsupervised model based on the Paragraph Vector Distributed Memory algorithm outperforms previous state-of-the-art results achieved on the BIOSSES biomedical benchmark set. Moreover, our proposed supervised model that combines different string-based similarity metrics with a neural embedding model surpasses previous ontology-dependent supervised state-of-the-art approaches in terms of Pearson's r (r=0.871) on the biomedical benchmark set. In contrast to the promising results for the original benchmark, we found our best models' performance on the smaller contradiction subset to be poor. CONCLUSIONS: In this study we highlighted the value of neural network-based models for semantic similarity estimation in the biomedical domain by showing that they can keep up with and even surpass previous state-of-the-art approaches for semantic similarity estimation that depend on the availability of laboriously curated ontologies when evaluated on a biomedical benchmark set. Capturing contradictions and negations in biomedical sentences, however, emerged as an essential area for further work.

description: Summary: Global environmental change poses threats to plant and soil biodiversity. Yet, whether soil biodiversity loss can further influence plant community’s response to global change is still poorly understood. We created a gradient of soil biodiversity using the dilution‐to‐extinction approach, and investigated the effects of soil biodiversity loss on plant communities during and following manipulations simulating global change disturbances in experimental grassland microcosms. Grass and herb biomass was decreased by drought and promoted by nitrogen deposition, and a fast recovery was observed following disturbances, independently of soil biodiversity loss. Warming promoted herb biomass during and following disturbance only when soil biodiversity was not reduced. However, legumes biomass was suppressed by these disturbances, and there were more detrimental effects with reduced soil biodiversity. Moreover, soil biodiversity loss suppressed the recovery of legumes following these disturbances. Similar patterns were found for the response of plant diversity. The changes in legumes might be partly attributed to the loss of mycorrhizal soil mutualists. Our study shows that soil biodiversity is crucial for legume persistence and plant diversity maintenance when faced with environmental change, highlighting the importance of soil biodiversity as a potential buffering mechanism for plant diversity and community composition in grasslands.
Temperature dependent sound velocity in hydrodynamic equations for relativistic heavy-ion collisions

Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We analyze the effects of different forms of the sound-velocity function cs(T) on the hydrodynamic evolution of matter formed in the central region of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. At high temperatures (above the critical temperature Tc) the sound velocity is calculated from the recent lattice simulations of QCD, while in the low temperature region it is obtained from the hadron gas model. In the intermediate region we use different interpolations characterized by the values of the sound velocity at the local maximum (at T = 0.4 Tc) and local minimum (at T = Tc). In all considered cases the temperature dependent sound velocity functions yield the entropy density, which is consistent with the lattice QCD simulations at high temperature. Our calculations show that the presence of a distinct minimum of the sound velocity leads to a very long (about 20 fm/c) evolution time of the system, which is not compatible with the recent estimates based on the HBT interferometry. Hence, we conclude that the hydrodynamic description is favored in the case where the cross-over phase transition renders the smooth sound velocity function with a possible shallow minimum at Tc.

description: We searched for and detected stellar streams or moving groups in the solar neighbourhood, using the data provided by the 1st RAVE public data release. This analysis is based on distances to RAVE stars estimated from a color-magnitude relation that was calibrated on Hipparcos stars. Our final sample consists of 7015 stars selected to be within 500 pc of the Sun and to have distance errors better than 25%. Together with radial velocities from RAVE and proper motions from various data bases, there are estimates for all 6 phase-space coordinates of the stars in the sample. We characterize the orbits of these stars through suitable proxies for their angular momentum and eccentricity, and compare the observed distribution to the expectations from a smooth distribution. On this basis we identify at least four "phase space overdensities" of stars on very similar orbits in the Solar neighbourhood. We estimate the statistical significance of these overdensities by Monte Carlo simulations. Three of them have been identified previously: the Sirius and Hercules moving group and a stream found independently in 2006 by Arifyanto and Fuchs and Helmi et al. In addition, we have found a new stream candidate on a quite radial orbit, suggesting an origin external to the Milky Way's disk. Also, there is evidence for the Arcturus stream and the Hyades-Pleiades moving group in the sample. This analysis, using only a minute fraction of the final RAVE data set, shows the power of this experiment to probe the phase-space substructure of stars around the Sun.

description: We illustrate the geometric phase associated with the cyclic dynamics of a classical system of coupled oscillators. We use an analogy between a classical coupled oscillator and a two-state quantum mechanical system to represent the evolution of the oscillator on an equivalent Hilbert space, which may be represented as a trajectory on the surface of a sphere. The cyclic evolution of the system leads to a change in phase, which consists of a dynamic phase along with an additional phase shift dependent on the geometry of the evolution. A simple experiment suitable for advanced undergraduate students is designed to study the geometric phase incurred during cyclic evolution of a coupled oscillator.

description: HIP 67522 b is a 17 Myr old, close-in ($P_{orb} = 6.96$ d), Jupiter-sized ($R = 10\,R_{\oplus}$) transiting planet orbiting a Sun like star in the Sco-Cen OB association. We present our measurement of the system's projected orbital obliquity via two spectroscopic transit observations using the CHIRON spectroscopic facility. We present a global model that accounts for large surface brightness features typical of such young stars during spectroscopic transit observations. With a value of $|λ| = 5.8^{+2.8\,\circ}_{-5.7}$, it is unlikely that this well-aligned system is the result of a high eccentricity driven migration history. By being the youngest planet with a known obliquity, HIP 67522 b holds a special place in contributing to our understanding of giant planet formation and evolution. Our analysis shows the feasibility of such measurements for young and very active stars.

description: Four sets of data determining parameters of a0(1450) and a0(980) are re-analysed. These are Crystal Barrel data for pbar-p annihilation at rest to eta-pizero-pizero in (i) liquid hydrogen and (ii) gas, and to (iii) K0_L-picharged-Kcharged and (iv) omega piplus-piminus-pizero (mostly omega-rho-pi). Dispersive corrections due to opening of inelastic thresholds are treated fully. This stabilises parameters of a0(1450) substantially. The mass of its peak is 1448 +-13(stat) +- 25(syst) MeV and its mean full width at half maximum is 192 +-9 +-9 MeV. The pole position is 1432 +- 13 +- 25 - i(98 +-5 +-5) MeV. At the peak, eta-pi, omega-rho and a0(980)-sigma decay intensities are in the ratios 1 : 9.2 +- 0.8 +- 1.3 : 3.1 +- 0.2 +- 0.9. There is no evidence for a separate a0 near 1300 MeV claimed by Obelix. Parameters of a0(980) are updated to M = 987.4 +- 1.0 +- 3.0 MeV, g^2(eta-pi) = 0.164 +- 0.007 +- 0.010 GeV^2, g^2(KK)/g^2(eta-pi) = 1.05 +- 0.07 +- 0.05. The nature of the prominent J^{PC} = 0^{-+} signal in omega-rho is also clarified.

description: Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are a ubiquitous component of the nuclei of galaxies. It is normally assumed that, following the merger of two massive galaxies, a SMBH binary will form, shrink due to stellar or gas dynamical processes and ultimately coalesce by emitting a burst of gravitational waves. However, so far it has not been possible to show how two SMBHs bind during a galaxy merger with gas due to the difficulty of modeling a wide range of spatial scales. Here we report hydrodynamical simulations that track the formation of a SMBH binary down to scales of a few light years following the collision between two spiral galaxies. A massive, turbulent nuclear gaseous disk arises as a result of the galaxy merger. The black holes form an eccentric binary in the disk in less than a million years as a result of the gravitational drag from the gas rather than from the stars.

description: Przygotowanie do zawodu nauczyciela jest związane z koniecznością uzyskania odpowiedniego przygotowania akademickiego oraz potrzebą zastosowania uzyskanej wiedzy w praktyce. W ten właśnie sposób praktyka pedagogiczna staje się integralną częścią planów studiów i procesu kształcenia studentów, ale przede wszystkim umożliwia optymalny transfer wiedzy deklaratywnej w proceduralną przyszłych nauczycieli. Studenci pedagogiki wczesnej edukacji odbywają praktyki w przedszkolu i klasach 1–3 szkoły podstawowej, zdobywając wiedzę dotyczącą organizacji pracy placówki, procesu nauczania i wychowania, metod i form pracy nauczyciela, sposobów poznawania dziecka/ucznia. Badania prowadzone wśród studentów ostatniego semestru pozwoliły uzyskać odpowiedź na następujące pytania: czy istnieje zbieżność pomiędzy założonymi funkcjami i celem praktyki a rzeczywiście spełnianymi w opinii studentów? Na ile praktyka pedagogiczna stanowi możliwość bycia twórczym, poszukującym studentem? Jakie możliwości i jakie bariery we własnym rozwoju stwarza odbywana praktyka pedagogiczna?
Very rapid multi-odour discrimination learning in the ant Lasius niger

description: Insects can be very good learners. For example, they can form associations between a cue and a reward after only one exposure. Discrimination learning, in which multiple cues are associated with different outcomes, is critical for responding correctly complex environments. However, the extent of such discrimination learning is not well explored. Studies concerning discrimination learning within one valence are also rare. Here we ask whether Lasius niger ants can form multiple concurrent associations to different reward levels, and how rapidly such associations can be learned. We allowed individual workers to sequentially feed on up to four different food qualities, each associated with a different odour cue. Using pairwise preference tests, we found that ants can successfully learn at least two, and likely three, odour/quality associations, requiring as little as one exposure to each combination in order for learning to take place. By testing preference between two non-extreme values (i.e. between 0.4 M and 0.8 M having been trained to the qualities 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.6) we exclude the possibility that ants are only memorising the best and worst values in a set. Such rapid learning of multiple associations, within one valence and one modality, is impressive, and makes Lasius niger a very tractable model for complex training paradigms.

description: Parallel corpus is a critical resource in machine learning-based translation. The task of collecting, extracting, and aligning texts in order to build an acceptable corpus for doing the translation is very tedious most especially for low-resource languages. In this paper, we present the efforts made to build a parallel corpus for Cebuano and Filipino from two different domains: biblical texts and the web. For the biblical resource, subword unit translation for verbs and copy-able approach for nouns were applied to correct inconsistencies in the translation. This correction mechanism was applied as a preprocessing technique. On the other hand, for Wikipedia being the main web resource, commonly occurring topic segments were extracted from both the source and the target languages. These observed topic segments are unique in 4 different categories. The identification of these topic segments may be used for the automatic extraction of sentences. A Recurrent Neural Network was used to implement the translation using OpenNMT sequence modeling tool in TensorFlow. The two different corpora were then evaluated by using them as two separate inputs in the neural network. Results have shown a difference in BLEU scores in both corpora.

description: Radio emission from tidal disruption events (TDEs) originates from an interaction of an outflow with the super-massive black hole (SMBH) circum nuclear material (CNM). In turn, this radio emission can be used to probe properties of both the outflow launched at the event and the CNM. Until recently, radio emission was detected only for a relatively small number of events. While the observed radio emission pointed to either relativistic or sub-relativistic outflows of different nature, it also indicated that the outflow has been launched shortly after the stellar disruption. Recently, however, delayed radio flares, several months and years after stellar disruption, were reported in the case of the TDE ASASSN-15oi. These delayed flares suggest a delay in the launching of outflows and thus may provide new insights into SMBH accretion physics. Here, we present a new radio dataset of another TDE, iPTF16fnl, and discuss the possibility that a delayed radio flare has been observed also in this case, ~ 5 months after optical discovery, suggesting that this phenomenon may be common in TDEs. Unlike ASASSN-15oi, the data for iPTF16fnl is sparse and the delayed radio flare can be explained by several alternative models: among them are a complex varying CNM density structure and a delayed outflow ejection.

Differential diagnosis against the type form
This record is based on seven specimens found in Ledenjača Cave, Bosnia and Herzegovina (see Table S 2 in Supplementary Material). Due to their clear differences from the type of P. (P.) isterina, described from Movile Cave, they have been identified as P. (P.) aff. isterina. Specimens from Ledenjača Cave have a higher number of antennomeres (25–28), six olfactory chemoreceptors in a relatively large cupuliform organ (occupying one third of a short antennomere) and a clearer protruding frontal process with remarkable tuberculate setae.
Habitat and distribution
Non-troglomorphic species. The nominate form is found in Peştera Movile Cave, Southern Dobruja, Romania. The aff. form is found in a cave in the Dinaric Mountains, Bosnia and Hercegovina.

description: Objective To revise the German guidelines and recommendations for ensuring Good Epidemiological Practice (GEP) that were developed in 1999 by the German Society for Epidemiology (DGEpi), evaluated and revised in 2004, supplemented in 2008, and updated in 2014. Methods The executive board of the DGEpi tasked the third revision of the GEP. The revision was arrived as a result of a consensus-building process by a working group of the DGEpi in collaboration with other working groups of the DGEpi and with the German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology, the German Society of Social Medicine and Prevention (DGSMP), the German Region of the International Biometric Society (IBS-DR), the German Technology, Methods and Infrastructure for Networked Medical Research (TMF), and the German Network for Health Services Research (DNVF). The GEP also refers to related German Good Practice documents (e.g. Health Reporting, Cartographical Practice in the Healthcare System, Secondary Data Analysis). Results The working group modified the 11 guidelines (after revision: 1 ethics, 2 research question, 3 study protocol and manual of operations, 4 data protection, 5 sample banks, 6 quality assurance, 7 data storage and documentation, 8 analysis of epidemiological data, 9 contractual framework, 10 interpretation and scientific publication, 11 communication and public health) and modified and supplemented the related recommendations. All participating scientific professional associations adopted the revised GEP. Conclusions The revised GEP are addressed to everyone involved in the planning, preparation, execution, analysis, and evaluation of epidemiological research, as well as research institutes and funding bodies.

description: Intent detection is a crucial task in any Natural Language Understanding (NLU) system and forms the foundation of a task-oriented dialogue system. To build high-quality real-world conversational solutions for edge devices, there is a need for deploying intent detection model on device. This necessitates a light-weight, fast, and accurate model that can perform efficiently in a resource-constrained environment. To this end, we propose LIDSNet, a novel lightweight on-device intent detection model, which accurately predicts the message intent by utilizing a Deep Siamese Network for learning better sentence representations. We use character-level features to enrich the sentence-level representations and empirically demonstrate the advantage of transfer learning by utilizing pre-trained embeddings. Furthermore, to investigate the efficacy of the modules in our architecture, we conduct an ablation study and arrive at our optimal model. Experimental results prove that LIDSNet achieves state-of-the-art competitive accuracy of 98.00% and 95.97% on SNIPS and ATIS public datasets respectively, with under 0.59M parameters. We further benchmark LIDSNet against fine-tuned BERTs and show that our model is at least 41x lighter and 30x faster during inference than MobileBERT on Samsung Galaxy S20 device, justifying its efficiency on resource-constrained edge devices.

description: We present wideband polarimetric observations, obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA), of the merging galaxy cluster MACS J0717.5+3745, which hosts one of the most complex known radio relic and halo systems. We use both Rotation Measure Synthesis and QU-fitting, and find a reasonable agreement of the results obtained with these methods, in particular, when the Faraday distribution is simple and the depolarization is mild. The relic is highly polarized over its entire length reaching a fractional polarization ${>}30\%$ in some regions. We also observe a strong wavelength-dependent depolarization for some regions of the relic. The northern part of the relic shows a complex Faraday distribution suggesting that this region is located in or behind the intracluster medium (ICM). Conversely, the southern part of the relic shows a Rotation Measure very close to the Galactic foreground, with a rather low Faraday dispersion, indicating very little magnetoionic material intervening the line-of-sight. From spatially resolved polarization analysis, we find that the scatter of Faraday depths correlates with the depolarization, indicating that the tangled magnetic field in the ICM causes the depolarization. At the position of a well known narrow-angle-tailed galaxy (NAT), we find evidence of two components clearly separated in Faraday space. The high Faraday dispersion component seems to be associated with the NAT, suggesting the NAT is embedded in the ICM while the southern part of the relic lies in front of it. The magnetic field orientation follows the relic structure indicating a well-ordered magnetic field. We also detect polarized emission in the halo region; however the absence of significant Faraday rotation and a low value of Faraday dispersion suggests the polarized emission, previously considered as the part of the halo, has a shock(s) origin.

description: XENON10 is an experiment to directly detect weakly interacting massive particle (WIMPs), which may comprise the bulk of the non-baryonic dark matter in our Universe. We report new results for spin-dependent WIMP-nucleon interactions with 129-Xe and 131-Xe from 58.6 live-days of operation at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS). Based on the non-observation of a WIMP signal in 5.4 kg of fiducial liquid xenon mass, we exclude previously unexplored regions in the theoretically allowed parameter space for neutralinos. We also exclude a heavy Majorana neutrino with a mass in the range of 10 GeV -2 TeV as a dark matter candidate under standard assumptions for its density and distribution in the galactic halo.

Modelling the Utility of Group Testing for Public Health Surveillance

description: In epidemic or pandemic situations, resources for testing the infection status of individuals may be scarce. Although group testing can help to significantly increase testing capabilities, the (repeated) testing of entire populations can exceed the resources of any country. We thus propose an extension of the theory of group testing that takes into account the fact that definitely specifying the infection status of each individual is impossible. Our theory builds on assigning to each individual an infection status (healthy/infected), as well as an associated cost function for erroneous assignments. This cost function is versatile, e.g., it could take into account that false negative assignments are worse than false positive assignments and that false assignments in critical areas, such as health care workers, are more severe than in the general population. Based on this model, we study the optimal use of a limited number of tests to minimize the expected cost. More specifically, we utilize information-theoretic methods to give a lower bound on the expected cost and describe simple strategies that can significantly reduce the expected cost over currently known strategies. A detailed example is provided to illustrate our theory.

Disunity in transition : a comparative analysis of organizational, policy and leadership conflicts within western separatist groups -- West-Fed and WCC (February, 1980-August, 1982)
Creators: name: Nanson, David Hubert Geoffrey
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This paper is a case study of West-Fed Association and Western Canada Concept. As the two major separatist organizations in western Canada, operating intheearly 1980s, these two groups have received an abundance of curious attention from the media and academics alike. Yet little of this attention has been focused on the internal structure and workings of the two associations. This study's objective therefore, is to gain a clearer understanding of how West-Fed and Western Canada Concept functioned as political organizations. More specifically, the paper will highlight those internal conflicts which severely weakened and dramatically altered the two groups; of particular interest will be the importance and scope of each association's organization, policy and leadership components as contributors to the creation and development of the several conflicts. In the end, however, the essay will argue that neither West-Fed nor Western Canada Concept have suffered a greater degree of internal dissension than any other political organization, suggesting that the two groups can (or could have) decrease the severity of future conflicts once they establish a clear sense of priorities.

description: We investigate symmetries of Witten-Dijkgraaf-E.Verlinde-H.Verlinde (WDVV) equations proposed by Dubrovin from bi-hamiltonian point of view. These symmetries can be viewed as canonical Miura transformations between genus-zero bi-hamiltonian systems of hydrodynamic type. In particular,we show that the moduli space of two-primary models under symmetries of WDVV can be characterized by the polytropic exponent $h$. Furthermore, we also discuss the transformation properties of free energy at genus-one level.

description: Agricultural insurance can avoid the risks of agricultural production and operation to a large extent, promote agricultural development and increase farmers' income, and lay a solid foundation for rural revitalization. At present, China's agricultural insurance is in the stage of all-round development, and there are still many problems, especially the farmers' mistrust of agricultural insurance and their weak willingness to participate in agricultural insurance. Based on the data and information obtained from the field visit and questionnaire survey in Enshi Prefecture, this paper makes an empirical analysis on the factors affecting farmers' agricultural insurance demand by using binary Logistic regression model. According to the conclusion of the analysis, this paper puts forward the corresponding measures and suggestions from the three dimensions of the government, insurance companies and farmers.

description: Mixtures containing different weight ratios of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) and double wall carbon nanotubes (DWCNT) were prepared and studied by in-situ Raman spectroelectrochemistry. Two components of the G-prime mode in the Raman spectra, which can be resolved at high electrode potentials, were assigned to the signals from inner tubes of DWCNT and outer tubes of DWCNT together with SWCNT. The dependence of the ratios of these two components of the G-prime mode on the nominal amount of SWCNT and DWCNT in the samples was simulated so that the residual amount of SWCNT in the original DWCNT could be determined. Additionally, the individual contributions of all components of carbon nanotubes into the total area of the G-prime mode at high electrode potentials were estimated from the simulation.

description: We have measured the reduced absorption coefficients occurring in the wings of the potassium 4S-5P doublet lines at 404.414 nm and at 404.720 nm broadened by helium gas at pressures of several hundred Torr. At the experimental temperature of 900 K, we have detected a shoulder-like broadening feature on the blue wing of the doublet which is relatively flat between 401.8 nm and 402.8 nm and which drops off rapidly for shorter wavelengths, corresponding to absorption from the X doublet Sigma+ state to the C doublet Sigma+ state of the K-He quasimolecule. The accurate measurements of the line profiles in the present work will sharply constrain future calculations of potential energy surfaces and transition dipole moments correlating to the asymptotes He-K(5p), He-K(5s), and He-K(3d).
