description: Recently several studies have jointly analysed data from different cosmological probes with the motivation of estimating cosmological parameters. Here we generalise this procedure to take into account the relative weights of various probes. This is done by including in the joint χ^2 function a set of `Hyper-Parameters', which are dealt with using Bayesian considerations. The resulting algorithm (in the case of uniform priors on the log of the Hyper-Parameters) is very simple: instead of minimising \sum χ_j^2 (where χ_j^2 is per data set j) we propose to minimise \sum N_j \ln (χ_j^2) (where N_j is the number of data points per data set j). We illustrate the method by estimating the Hubble constant H_0 from different sets of recent CMB experiments (including Saskatoon, Python V, MSAM1, TOCO and Boomerang).

description: We discuss the method of bounding suprema of canonical processes based on the inclusion of their index set into a convex hull of a well-controlled set of points. While the upper bound is immediate, the reverse estimate was established to date only for a narrow class of regular stochastic processes. We show that for specific index sets, including arbitrary ellipsoids, regularity assumptions may be substantially weakened.

description: We have considered the perturbation equations governing the growth of fluctuations in generalized scalar tensor theory during inflation. we have found that the scalar metric perturbations at very early times are negligible compared with the scalar field perturbation, just like general relativity. At sufficiently early times, when $q/a\gg H$, we have obtained the metric and scalar field perturbation in the form of WKB solutions up to an undetermined coefficient. Then we have quantized the scalar fluctuations and expanded the metric and the scalar field perturbations with the help of annihilation and creation operators of the scalar field perturbation. The standard commutation relations of annihilation and creation operators fix the unknown coefficient. Going over to the gauge invariant quantities which are conserved beyond the horizon, we have obtained the initial condition of the generalized Mukhanov-Sasaki equation. And a similar procedure is performed for the case of tensor metric perturbation.

description: This Article examines an often overlooked aspect of Opinion 1/17 issued by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU): the ethics and qualifications of the new CETA adjudicators. The subject was raised as an additional concern by Belgium in the context of its request for an opinion from the CJEU. More specifically, Belgium asked whether the prospective ethics and qualifications framework applicable to the newly-established investment tribunal members was compatible with the EU legal order, in particular the right to access an independent tribunal, enshrined under the EU Charter of the Fundamental Rights. After laying forth the provisions contained in the CETA, as well as the EU - Vietnam and EU- Singapore Investment Protection Agreements (IPAs), the Article analyses the Opinion text in juxtaposition with the legal ethics rules, found in treaties or guidelines worldwide, governing the domain of international adjudicator ethics. The Article in particular flags some controversies linked to the Court's analysis of the International Bar Association's Guidelines on Conflicts of Interest in International Arbitration and its (now suspended) referral in the CETA text in connection with the ethics framework governing international judges.

description: A new representation of the next to leading QCD corrections to the nucleon structure functions is given in terms of parton distributions. All $~α_{s}~$ corrections to the leading logarithmic approximation (LLA) are included. In contrast to the similar representations in the literature terms of order $~O(α_{s}^{2})~$ do not attend in our expressions for the nucleon structure functions taken in the next to leading logarithmic approximation. This result is generelized for any order in $~α_{s}~$ beyond the LLA. Terms of order $~O(α^{n}_{s})~$ which belong only to the approximation in consideration are present in such a representation for the structure functions.

Defining the genetic architecture of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Egypt
Creators: name: Allouba, Mona
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited disease of the myocardium characterised by genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. Despite the substantial progress made in understanding the genetic basis of HCM, several populations remain understudied, which hampers the progression of precision medicine and exacerbates health inequalities. This research study represents the largest and most comprehensive analysis of HCM in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region to date: It includes an ethnically-matched cohort of deeply-phenotyped healthy volunteers (n=400), allowing the genetic architecture of HCM in prospective Egyptian patients enrolled at the Aswan Heart Centre (n=514) to be accurately defined against an appropriate control group. Analysis of genetic variation in well-characterised HCM genes revealed interesting findings. For example, it demonstrated a relatively higher burden of rare homozygous variants in Egyptian patients compared to other well-studied populations, owing to the issue of consanguinity. This opens new avenues for further characterising the effect of homozygosity in HCM-related genes on disease pathogenesis and for identifying novel recessive genes unique to consanguineous populations of MENA ancestry. In addition, a highly prevalent frameshift variant (c.5769delG) in MYH7 was identified in the Egyptian HCM cohort. According to the current clinical variant classification guidelines, c.5769delG would be considered a “variant of uncertain significance”. However, it was found to be significantly enriched in Egyptian patients compared to controls (3.31% vs. 0%, p=0.0004) and to co-segregate with HCM in a large family (LOD score: 3.01), thereby supporting disease-causality. RNA sequencing analysis confirmed the expression of the variant MYH7 transcript suggesting a new mechanism of pathogenicity whereby distal MYH7 truncations cause HCM by escaping nonsense-mediated decay. Overall, these findings facilitate the implementation of precision medicine by enhancing our understanding of disease mechanisms involved in HCM and improving the utility of clinical genetic testing in the region.

description: Employing the stochastic mean-field (SMF) approach, we develop a quantal diffusion description of the multi-nucleon transfer in heavy-ion collisions at finite impact parameters. The quantal transport coefficients are determined by the occupied single-particle wave functions of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock equations. As a result, the primary fragment mass and charge distribution functions are determined entirely in terms of the mean-field properties. This powerful description does not involve any adjustable parameter, includes the effects of shell structure and is consistent with the fluctuation-dissipation theorem of the non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. As a first application of the approach, we analyze the fragment mass distribution in $^{48}\mathrm{Ca}+{}^{238}\mathrm{U}$ collisions at the bombarding energy $E_{\text{c.m.}}=193$ MeV and compare the calculations with the experimental data.

description: We study the isomorphism relation on Borel classes of locally compact Polish metric structures. We prove that isomorphism on such classes is always classifiable by countable structures (equivalently: Borel reducible to graph isomorphism), which implies, in particular, that isometry of locally compact Polish metric spaces is Borel reducible to graph isomorphism. We show that potentially $\pmbΠ^0_{α+1}$ isomorphism relations are Borel reducible to equality on hereditarily countable sets of rank $α$, $α\geq 2$. We also study approximations of the Hjorth-isomorphism game, and formulate a condition ruling out classifiability by countable structures.

We apply some of the techniques and approximations commonly used in discussions of the Skyrme model to the dynamics of baby Skyrmions and directly test them against numerical simulations. Specifically we study the effect of spin on the shape of a single baby Skyrmion, the dependence of the forces between two baby Skyrmions on the baby Skyrmions' relative orientation and the forces between two baby Skyrmions when one of them is spinning.

description: We study the large-scale spatial distribution of low-redshift quasars and Seyfert~1 galaxies using a sample of 106 luminous emission-line objects ($\bar{M}_{B} \approx -23$) selected by their H$α$ emission lines in a far-red objective prism survey ($0.2 < z < 0.37$). Of the 106 objects, 25 were previously known AGN (Veron-Cetty and Veron 2000), and follow-up spectroscopy for an additional 53 objects (including all object pairs with separation $r < 20 \hmpc$) confirmed 48 AGN and 5 narrow emission-line galaxies (NELGs). The calculated amplitude of the spatial two-point correlation function for the emission-line sample is $A = 0.4 \cdot \barξ(r < 20 \hmpc) \cdot 20^{1.8} = 142 \pm 53$. Eliminating the confirmed NELGs from the sample we obtain the AGN clustering amplitude $A = 98 \pm 54$. Using Monte Carlo simulations we reject the hypothesis that the observed pair counts were drawn from a random distribution at the 99.97% and 98.6% confidence levels for the entire sample and the AGN subset respectively. We measure a decrease in the quasar clustering amplitude by a factor of $3.7 \pm 2.0$ between $z = 0.26$ and $z \approx 1.5$, and present the coordinates, redshifts, and follow-up spectroscopy for the 15 previously unknown AGN and 4 luminous NELGs that contribute to the clustering signal.

description: The rapid growth of nanotechnology has led to the development of many devices with advanced characteristics such as high frequencies Gunn diodes, transistors, nano-antennas etc. Nano-antenna applications are numerous and encompass a variety of fields such as broadband communications, imaging, sensing, energy harvesting, and disease diagnosis. In this research paper, A novel T-shaped nano-antenna was designed and its resonant frequency was analysed. Moreover, parametric investigation had been performed to figure out the effects of T-shaped nano-antenna on Diamond Like Carbon (DLC) material. The momentum model in Advanced Design System (ADS) software was used to simulate the novel T-shaped nano-antenna and the results were directly compared to other nano-antennas. Initial results suggests that the T-shaped nano-antenna had a higher bandwidth and smaller geometrical size when compared to the other nano-antenna at Terahertz frequency.

description: We introduce a hitherto unexplored form of quantum nonlocality, termed local subset unidentifiability, that arises from the limitation of spatially separated parties to perfectly identify a subset of mutually orthogonal multipartite quantum states, randomly chosen from a larger known set, using Local Operations and Classical Communication (LOCC). We show that this nonlocality is stronger than other existing forms of quantum nonlocality, such as local indistinguishability and local unmarkability. If more than one multipartite states from a locally indistinguishable set are distributed between spatially separated parties in a sequentially ordered fashion, then they may or may not mark which state is which using LOCC. However, we show that even when the parties cannot mark the states, they may still locally identify the particular states given to them, though not their order -- i.e., they can identify the elements of the given subset of states. Then we prove the existence of such subsets that are not even locally identifiable, thereby manifesting a stronger nonlocality. We also present the genuine version of this nonlocality -- genuine subset unidentifiability -- where the provided subset remains unidentifiable unless all the parties come together in a common location and perform global measurements. We anticipate potential applications of this nonlocality for future quantum technologies. We discuss one such application in a certain secret password distribution protocol, where this nonlocality outperforms its predecessors as a resource.

description: In the framework of Anisotropic Chromodynamics, a non-perturbative realization of QCD, we develop the Low-Nussinov picture of the Pomeron. In this approach all the usual problems of low pT perturbative calculations (infrared divergence) are naturally absent. Thus, we are able to perform an ab initio calculation of the hadron-hadron total cross section. The result is a cross section of the same magnitude as indicated experimentally and approximately energy-independent (with a log^2 s growth). We further discuss the pT dependence of the hadron-hadron elastic-scattering cross section, which displays all the experimentally observed features.

description: Cadaver decomposition-islands around animal carcasses can facilitate establishment of various plant life. Facultative scavengers have great potential for endozoochory, and often aggregate around carcasses. Hence, they may disperse plant seeds that they ingest across the landscape towards cadaver decomposition-islands. Here, we demonstrate this novel mechanism along a gradient of wild tundra reindeer carcasses. First, we show that the spatial distribution of scavenger faeces (birds and foxes) was concentrated around carcasses. Second, faeces of the predominant scavengers (corvids) commonly contained viable seeds of crowberry, a keystone species of the alpine tundra with predominantly vegetative reproduction. We suggest that cadaver decomposition-islands function as endpoints for directed endozoochory by scavengers. Such a mechanism could be especially beneficial for species that rely on small-scale disturbances in soil and vegetation, such as several Nordic berry-producing species with cryptic generative reproduction.

description: We present high-resolution optical and near-infrared HST observations of two adjacent regions in the fossil starburst region in M82, B1 and B2. Age estimates date the cluster population in the fossil starburst between ~2 x 10^8 and ~10 x 10^9 years, assuming solar metallicity. The star cluster population in B2 is more heavily affected by internal extinction than that in B1. Although our cluster size estimates indicate that they are gravitationally bound, and not unlike Galactic globular clusters, their luminosity distribution is significantly fainter than both super star cluster luminosity functions (LFs) and the Galactic globular cluster LF. This makes them unlikely proto-globular clusters, since their luminosities will fade further before they are of similar age as the Galactic globular cluster population. If the compact H-alpha-bright sources in M82 B are Type II supernova remnants (SNRs), they set an upper limit to the end of the starburst in region B2, about 500 pc from the galaxy's core, of ~50 Myr. Region B1, about 1000 pc from the core, lacks good SNR candidates and is evidently somewhat older. This suggests star formation in the galaxy has propagated inward toward the present-day intense starburst core.

description: We study the influence of spinless impurities on a frustrated magnet featuring a spin-density wave (stripe) phase by means of Monte Carlo simulations. We demonstrate that the interplay between the impurities and an order parameter that breaks a real-space symmetry triggers the emergence of a random-field mechanism which destroys the stripe-ordered phase. Importantly, the strength of the emerging random fields can be tuned by the repulsion between the impurity atoms; they vanish for perfect anticorrelations between neighboring impurities. This provides a novel way of controlling the phase diagram of a many-particle system. In addition, we also investigate the effects of the impurities on the character of the phase transitions between the stripe-ordered, ferromagnetic, and paramagnetic phases.

description: We consider the possibility of extracting the bottom quark mass from LEP data. The inclusive decay rate for $\zbb +\cdots$ is obtained at order $\as$ by summing up the one-loop two-parton decay rate to the tree-level three-parton rate. We calculate the decay width of the $Z$-boson into two and three jets containing the $b$-quark including complete quark mass effects. In particular, we give analytic results for a slight modification of the JADE clustering algorithm. We also study the angular distribution with respect to the angle formed between the gluon and the quark jets, which has a strong dependence on the quark mass. The impact of higher order QCD corrections on these observables is briefly discussed. Finally, we present numerical results for some popular jet-clustering algorithms and show that, indeed, these three-jet observables are very sensitive to the $b$-quark mass and well suited for its determination at LEP.

description: Dynamical series such as the Ruelle zeta function have become a staple in the study of hyperbolic flows. They are usually analyzed by relating them to the resolvent of the vector field. In this paper we give the general form of such relations, which involves the intersection of the kernel of said resolvent with integration currents. Our formula is actually valid for any smooth flow, not necessarily hyperbolic. As an application, we introduce certain dynamical series that had not appeared before. Finally, we compute their value at zero, and their relation with topological invariants.

description: Electron interactions with the nuclear-spin-dependent (NSD) parity non-conserving (PNC) anapole moment are strongly enhanced within heteronuclear diatomic molecules. A novel, low-energy optical rotation experiment is being proposed with the aim of observing NSD PNC interactions in HgH. Based on the relativistic coupled cluster method we present a complete calculation of the circular polarization parameter $P = 2\,\textrm{Im}(E1_{PNC})/M1 \approx 3 \times 10^{-6}\; κ$ for the $^2Σ_{1/2} \to ^2Π_{1/2}$ optical transition of HgH, where $κ$ is a dimensionless constant determined by the nuclear anapole moment. This provides an improvement in sensitivity to NSD PNC by 2 -- 3 orders of magnitude over the leading atomic Xe, Hg, Tl, Pb and Bi optical rotation experiments, and shows that the proposed measurement will be sensitive enough to extract the $^{199}$Hg anapole moment and shed light on the underlying theory of hadronic parity violation.
Calculation of interatomic forces and optimization of molecular geometry with auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Computational Physics (physics.comp-ph)

description: We propose an algorithm for accurate, systematic and scalable computation of interatomic forces within the auxiliary-field Quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) method. The algorithm relies on the Hellman-Fenyman theorem, and incorporates Pulay corrections in the presence of atomic orbital basis sets. We benchmark the method for small molecules by comparing the computed forces with the derivatives of the AFQMC potential energy surface, and by direct comparison with other quantum chemistry methods. We then perform geometry optimizations using the steepest descent algorithm in larger molecules. With realistic basis sets, we obtain equilibrium geometries in agreement, within statistical error bars, with experimental values. The increase in computational cost for computing forces in this approach is only a small prefactor over that of calculating the total energy. This paves the way for a general and efficient approach for geometry optimization and molecular dynamics within AFQMC.

description: We present a model where an unstable MeV Majorana tau \neu can naturally reconcile the cold dark matter model (CDM) with cosmological observations of large and small scale density fluctuations and, simultaneously, with data on solar and atmospheric neutrinos. The solar \neu deficit is explained through long wavelength, so-called {\sl just-so} oscillations involving conversions of \ne into both \nm and a sterile species \ns, while atmospheric \neu data are explained through \nm to \ne conversions. Future long baseline \neu oscillation experiments, as well as some reactor experiments will test this hypothesis. The model is based on the spontaneous violation of a global lepton number symmetry at the weak scale. This symmetry plays a key role in generating the cosmologically required decay of the \nt with lifetime $τ_{ν_τ} \sim 10^2 - 10^4$ seconds, as well as the masses and oscillations of the three light \neus \ne, \nm and \ns required in order to account for solar and atmospheric \neu data. It also leads to the invisibly decaying higgs signature that can be searched at LEP and future particle colliders.

description: We present a polynomial time algorithm to approximately scale tensors of any format to arbitrary prescribed marginals (whenever possible). This unifies and generalizes a sequence of past works on matrix, operator and tensor scaling. Our algorithm provides an efficient weak membership oracle for the associated moment polytopes, an important family of implicitly-defined convex polytopes with exponentially many facets and a wide range of applications. These include the entanglement polytopes from quantum information theory (in particular, we obtain an efficient solution to the notorious one-body quantum marginal problem) and the Kronecker polytopes from representation theory (which capture the asymptotic support of Kronecker coefficients). Our algorithm can be applied to succinct descriptions of the input tensor whenever the marginals can be efficiently computed, as in the important case of matrix product states or tensor-train decompositions, widely used in computational physics and numerical mathematics. We strengthen and generalize the alternating minimization approach of previous papers by introducing the theory of highest weight vectors from representation theory into the numerical optimization framework. We show that highest weight vectors are natural potential functions for scaling algorithms and prove new bounds on their evaluations to obtain polynomial-time convergence. Our techniques are general and we believe that they will be instrumental to obtain efficient algorithms for moment polytopes beyond the ones consider here, and more broadly, for other optimization problems possessing natural symmetries.

description: The relationship between the oxidation state and relative volatility of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) from the oxidation of a wide range of hydrocarbons is investigated using a fast-stepping, scanning thermodenuder interfaced with a high-resolution time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS). SOA oxidation state varied widely across the investigated range of parent hydrocarbons but was relatively stable for replicate experiments using a single hydrocarbon precursor. On average, unit mass resolution indicators of SOA oxidation (e.g., AMS f43 and f44) are consistent with previously reported values. Linear regression of H:C vs. O:C obtained from parameterization of f43 and f44 and elemental analysis of high-resolution spectra in Van Krevelen space both yield a slope of ∼−0.5 across different SOA types. A similar slope was obtained for a distinct subset of toluene/NOx reactions in which the integrated oxidant exposure was varied to alter oxidation. The relative volatility of different SOA types displays similar variability and is strongly correlated with SOA oxidation state (C). On average, relatively low oxidation and volatility were observed for aliphatic alkene (including terpenes) and n-alkane SOA while the opposite is true for mono- and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon SOA. Effective enthalpy for total chamber aerosol obtained from volatility differential mobility analysis is also highly correlated with C indicating a primary role for oxidation levels in determining the volatility of chamber SOA. Effective enthalpies for chamber SOA are substantially lower than those of neat organic standards but are on the order of those obtained for partially oligomerized glyoxal and methyl glyoxal. © 2018 American Association for Aerosol Research
Binary Black Hole Mergers from Planet-like Migrations

description: If supermassive black holes (BHs) are generically present in galaxy centers, and if galaxies are built up through hierarchical merging, BH binaries are at least temporary features of most galactic bulges. Observations suggest, however, that binary BHs are rare, pointing towards a binary lifetime far shorter than the Hubble time. We show that, regardless of the detailed mechanism, all stellar-dynamical processes are insufficient to reduce significantly the orbital separation once orbital velocities in the binary exceed the virial velocity of the system. We propose that a massive gas disk surrounding a BH binary can effect its merger rapidly, in a scenario analogous to the orbital decay of super-jovian planets due to a proto-planetary disk. As in the case of planets, gas accretion onto the secondary (here a supermassive BH) is integrally connected with its inward migration. Such accretion would give rise to quasar activity. BH binary mergers could therefore be responsible for many or most quasars.

Moran-evolution of cooperation: From well-mixed to heterogeneous complex networks

Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Configurational arrangement of network architecture and interaction character of individuals are two most influential factors on the mechanisms underlying the evolutionary outcome of cooperation, which is explained by the well-established framework of evolutionary game theory. In the current study, not only qualitatively but also quantitatively, we measure Moran-evolution of cooperation to support an analytical agreement based on the consequences of the replicator equation in a finite population. The validity of the measurement has been double-checked in the well-mixed network by the Langevin stochastic differential equation and the Gillespie-algorithmic version of Moran-evolution, while in a structured network, the measurement of accuracy is verified by the standard numerical simulation. Considering the Birth-Death and Death-Birth updating rules through diffusion of individuals, the investigation is carried out in the wide range of game environments those relate to the various social dilemmas where we are able to draw a new rigorous mathematical track to tackle the heterogeneity of complex networks. The set of modified criteria reveals the exact fact about the emergence and maintenance of cooperation in the structured population. We find that in general, nature promotes the environment of coexistent traits.

description: We have synthesized single crystals of CeZnAl$_3$, which is a new member of the family of the Ce-based intermetallics Ce$TX_3$ ($T$ = transition metal, $X$= Si, Ge, Al), crystallizing in the non-centrosymmetric tetragonal BaNiSn$_3$-type structure. Magnetization, specific heat and resistivity measurements all show that CeZnAl$_3$ orders magnetically below around 4.4 K. Furthermore, magnetization measurements exhibit a hysteresis loop at low temperatures and fields, indicating the presence of a ferromagnetic component in the magnetic state. This points to a different nature of the magnetism in CeZnAl$_3$ compared to the other isostructural Ce$T$Al$_3$ compounds. Resistivity measurements under pressures up to 1.8 GPa show a moderate suppression of the ordering temperature with pressure, suggesting that measurements to higher pressures are required to look for quantum critical behavior.

description: Technology Education or Technical Education (TE) is a key driver for the growth anddevelopment of a country and is essential input for national development and for strengtheningof the industry, economy and ultimately improving the quality of life of the people. Rapid and drastic changes in economic growth are creating higher demands for TE. Most of developed countries witnessed economic growth with the promotion of TE in the country. There is a rapid growth of TE in last decade in terms of the no. of institutes and the intake capacity in India. However, there is noticeable gap in between the actual no. of enrollments and intake capacity of these institutes along with poor performance of institutes in terms of service provided specially by private institutions which resulted in enormous unemployment in India. This study is sought to investigate a perception and determination towards accessing TE with 11 P’s of Service Marketing Mix rather than traditional service marketing mix of 7 P’s. The study discloses different approaches by the service providers (institutions) and service consumers (students) to TE in terms of 11 P’s of marketing mix; program, price, place, promotion, people, physical evidence, process, and additional P’s; performance, position, pleasure and pointing-out. Findings of the study will be useful for the institutes, government and direct or indirect service providers of TE in developing an effective strategic plan through 11 P’s, that will not only boost TE in terms of quantity but also improve quality and performance of the service providers. A quantitative research survey through a structured questionnaire for the students who are studying or have recently completed their TE in engineering, pharmacy and management from the institutes affiliated to the North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon was conducted. The survey is delimited to the TE belonging to North Maharashtra University, Jalgaon and Khandesh regionof India.

description: We study a relationship between rational proper maps of balls in different dimensions and strongly plurisubharmonic exhaustion functions of the unit ball induced by such maps. Putting the unique critical point of this exhaustion function at the origin leads to a normal form for rational proper maps of balls. The normal form of the map, which is up to composition with unitaries, takes the origin to the origin, and it normalizes the denominator by eliminating the linear terms and diagonalizing the quadratic part. The singular values of the quadratic part of the denominator are spherical invariants of the map. When these singular values are positive and distinct, the normal form is determined up to a finite subgroup of the unitary group. We also study which denominators arise for cubic maps, and when we do not require taking the origin to the origin, which maps are equivalent to polynomials.
