description: In this paper we describe the moduli space of kinks in a class of systems of two coupled real scalar fields in (1+1) Minkowskian space-time. The main feature of the class is the spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry of (real) Ginzburg-Landau type that guarantees the existence of kink topological defects.

description: We present a distributed model predictive control (DMPC) algorithm to generate trajectories in real-time for multiple robots. We adopted the \textit{on-demand collision avoidance} method presented in previous work to efficiently compute non-colliding trajectories in transition tasks. An event-triggered replanning strategy is proposed to account for disturbances. Our simulation results show that the proposed collision avoidance method can reduce, on average, around 50% of the travel time required to complete a multi-agent point-to-point transition when compared to the well-studied Buffered Voronoi Cells (BVC) approach. Additionally, it shows a higher success rate in transition tasks with a high density of agents, with more than 90% success rate with 30 palm-sized quadrotor agents in a 18 m^3 arena. The approach was experimentally validated with a swarm of up to 20 drones flying in close proximity.

description: Using small wavelength surface acoustic waves (SAW) on ultra-high mobility heterostructures, Fermi surface properties are detected at 5/2 filling factor at temperatures higher than those at which the quantum Hall state forms. An enhanced conductivity is observed at 5/2 by employing sub 0.5 micron wavelength SAW, indicating a quasiparticle mean-free-path substantially smaller than that in the lowest Landau level. These findings are consistent with the presence of a filled Fermi sea of composite fermions, which may pair at lower temperatures to form the 5/2 ground state.

description: Quantification of cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) of presumed vascular origin is of key importance in many neurological research studies. Currently, measurements are often still obtained from manual segmentations on brain MR images, which is a laborious procedure. Automatic WMH segmentation methods exist, but a standardized comparison of the performance of such methods is lacking. We organized a scientific challenge, in which developers could evaluate their method on a standardized multi-center/-scanner image dataset, giving an objective comparison: the WMH Segmentation Challenge (https://wmh.isi.uu.nl/). Sixty T1+FLAIR images from three MR scanners were released with manual WMH segmentations for training. A test set of 110 images from five MR scanners was used for evaluation. Segmentation methods had to be containerized and submitted to the challenge organizers. Five evaluation metrics were used to rank the methods: (1) Dice similarity coefficient, (2) modified Hausdorff distance (95th percentile), (3) absolute log-transformed volume difference, (4) sensitivity for detecting individual lesions, and (5) F1-score for individual lesions. Additionally, methods were ranked on their inter-scanner robustness. Twenty participants submitted their method for evaluation. This paper provides a detailed analysis of the results. In brief, there is a cluster of four methods that rank significantly better than the other methods, with one clear winner. The inter-scanner robustness ranking shows that not all methods generalize to unseen scanners. The challenge remains open for future submissions and provides a public platform for method evaluation.

description: We studied the correlation between brightness and polarization variations in 3C~279 at different wavelengths, over time intervals long enough to cover the time lags due to opacity effects. We used these correlations together with VLBI images to constrain the radio and high energy source position.We made 7 mm radio continuum and $R$-band polarimetric observations of 3C~279 between 2009 and 2014. The radio observations were performed at the Itapetinga Radio Observatory, while the polarimetric data were obtained at Pico dos Dias Observatory, both in Brazil. We compared our observations with the $γ$-ray Fermi/LAT and $R$-band SMARTS light curves. We found a good correlation between 7~mm and $R$-band light curves, with a delay of $170 \pm 30$ days in radio, but no correlation with the $γ$ rays. However, a group of several $γ$-ray flares in April 2011 could be associated with the start of the 7 mm strong activity observed at the end of 2011.We also detected an increase in $R$-band polarization degree and rotation of the polarization angle simultaneous with these flares. Contemporaneous VLBI images at the same radio frequency show two new strong components close to the core, ejected in directions very different from that of the jet.The good correlation between radio and $R$-band variability suggests that their origin is synchrotron radiation. The lack of correlation with $γ$-rays produced by the Inverse Compton process on some occasions could be due to the lack of low energy photons in the jet direction or to absorption of the high energy photons by the broad line region clouds. The variability of the polarization parameters during flares can be easily explained by the combination of the jet polarization parameters and those of newly formed jet components.

description: We study the discovery potential of future beta decay experiments on searches for the neutrino mass in the sub-eV range, and, in particular, KATRIN experiment with sensitivity $m > 0.3$ eV. Effects of neutrino mass and mixing on the beta decay spectrum in the neutrino schemes which explain the solar and atmospheric neutrino data are discussed. The schemes which lead to observable effects contain one or two sets of quasi-degenerate states. Future beta decay measurements will allow to check the three neutrino scheme with mass degeneracy, moreover, the possibility appears to measure the CP-violating Majorana phase. Effects in the four neutrino schemes which can also explain the LSND data are strongly restricted by the results of Bugey and CHOOZ oscillation experiments: Apart from bending of the spectrum and the shift of the end point one expects appearance of small kink of ($ < 2% $) size or suppressed tail after bending of the spectrum with rate below 2 % of the expected rate for zero neutrino mass. We consider possible implications of future beta decay experiments for the neutrino mass spectrum, the determination of the absolute scale of neutrino mass and for establishing the nature of neutrinos. We show that beta decay measurements in combination with data from the oscillation and double beta decay experiments will allow to establish the structure of the scheme (hierarchical or non-hierarchical), the type of the hierarchy or ordering of states (normal or inverted) and to measure the relative CP-violating phase in the solar pair of states.

description: We measured [Fe/H] and [$α$/Fe] using spectral synthesis of low-resolution stellar spectroscopy for 70 individual red giant branch stars across four fields spanning the outer disk, Giant Stellar Stream (GSS), and inner halo of M31. Fields at M31-centric projected distances of 23 kpc in the halo, 12 kpc in the halo, 22 kpc in the GSS, and 26 kpc in the outer disk are $α$-enhanced, with $\langle$[$α$/Fe]$\rangle$ = 0.43, 0.50, 0.41, and 0.58, respectively. The 23 kpc and 12 kpc halo fields are relatively metal-poor, with $\langle$[Fe/H]$\rangle$ = $-$1.54 and $-$1.30, whereas the 22 kpc GSS and 26 kpc outer disk fields are relatively metal-rich with $\langle$[Fe/H]$\rangle$ = $-$0.84 and $-$0.92, respectively. For fields with substructure, we separated the stellar populations into kinematically hot stellar halo components and kinematically cold components. We did not find any evidence of an [$α$/Fe] gradient along the high surface brightness core of the GSS between $\sim$17$-$22 kpc. However, we found tentative suggestions of a negative [$α$/Fe] gradient in the stellar halo, which may indicate that different progenitor(s) or formation mechanisms contributed to the build up of the inner versus outer halo. Additionally, the [$α$/Fe] distribution of the metal-rich ([Fe/H] $>$ $-$1.5), smooth inner stellar halo (r$_{\rm{proj}}$ $\lesssim$ 26 kpc) is inconsistent with having formed from the disruption of progenitor(s) similar to present-day M31 satellite galaxies. The 26 kpc outer disk is most likely associated with the extended disk of M31, where its high $α$-enhancement provides support for an episode of rapid star formation in M31's disk, possibly induced by a major merger.

description: The KLOE-2 experiment at the INFN Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) completed its data-taking at the $e^+ e^-$ DA$Φ$NE collider, which implements an innovative collision scheme based on a crab-waist configuration, and achieved the integrated luminosity of more than 5 fb$^-1$. KLOE-2 represents the continuation of KLOE with an upgraded detector and an extended physics program which includes, among the main topics, neutral kaon interferometry and test of discrete symmetries . Entangled neutral kaon pairs produced at DA$Φ$NE are a unique tool to test discrete symmetries and quantum coherence at the utmost sensitivity, strongly motivating the experimental searches of possible CPT violating effects, which would constitute an unambiguous signal of New Physics. The status of the test of Time reversal and CPT simmetry in $ϕ\to \mbox{K}_S \mbox{K}_L \to πν,3π^0,(2π)$ decays with KLOE and KLOE-2 data will be discussed.

description: We present optical and near-infrared Keck spectroscopy of CXOHDFN J123635.6+621424 (hereafter HDFX28), a hard X-ray source at a redshift of z = 2.011 in the flanking fields of the Hubble Deep Field-North (HDF-N). HDFX28 is a red source (R - K_s = 4.74) with extended steep-spectrum (alpha > 0.87) microjansky radio emission and significant emission (441 microJy) at 15 microns. Accordingly, initial investigations prompted the interpretation that HDFX28 is powered by star formation. Subsequent Chandra imaging, however, revealed hard (Gamma = 0.30) X-ray emission indicative of absorbed AGN activity, implying that HDFX28 is an obscured, Type II AGN. The optical and near-infrared spectra presented herein corroborate this result; the near-infrared emission lines cannot be powered by star formation alone, and the optical emission lines indicate a buried AGN. HDFX28 is identified with a face-on, moderately late-type spiral galaxy. Multi-wavelength morphological studies of the HDF-N have heretofore revealed no galaxies with any kind of recognizable spiral structure beyond z > 2. We present a quantitative analysis of the morphology of HDFX28, and we find the measures of central concentration and asymmetry to be indeed consistent with those expected for a rare high-redshift spiral galaxy.

description: A non-hypothetical second-price Vickrey auction was conducted to elicit consumer preferences and willingness to pay for vegetable attributes, including production technique, origin, taste, and health benefits. Using a Latent Class Analysis (LCA) we segmented participants based on health-driven motivations, willingness to pay estimates, and socio-economic characteristics. Two latent classes were found and characterized as: “Health Conscious”, and “Health Redeemers”. In particular, the “Health Conscious” consumers presented healthy lifestyle habits, expressed price premiums for domestic and local-specialty food products after a blind tasting treatment, but they did not have price premiums for health benefits of the products. On the contrary, the “Health Redeemers” presented unhealthy lifestyles but they were willing to pay more for healthy food products, perhaps in an attempt to make up for their unhealthy habits.

description: The act of Alabama HB 56, passed in 2011 is considered to be the strictest anti-illegal immigration bill in the United States. This paper evaluates the impact of this policy on crime, by using the synthetic control method to create a counterfactual Alabama. The results provide suggestive evidence of heterogeneous causal effects of Alabama HB 56 on crime. Compared to the synthetic group, the violent crime rate increased as a response to Alabama HB 56, while there was no significant change in property crime rate after the act. A placebo test was also performed to demonstrate the robustness of the results.

description: Cattle feeders face a multitude of challenges when raising their product. There is constant morbidity and mortality biological risk inherent in livestock feeding, coupled with the risk of negative weather conditions, and highly variable input prices. However, the greatest risk typically facing the fed cattle industry is price risk. In order to mitigate output price risk, producers look to hedging in the futures market. Hedges can effectively reduce price and revenue risk, although basis risk remains. Hedging is normally thought of as a risk management strategy rather than an effort to garner huge futures market returns. The main aim of hedging is assumed to be the minimization of the variance of the return on the portfolio. Hedging becomes particularly important in the fed cattle industry because fed cattle are ‘non-storable’ both in a definition’s sense, and a literal sense. An optimal hedge is a variance minimization tool. This paper uses an optimal hedge and a common 1:1 fed cattle price hedge using Texas cattle prices, over the 2010-2014 period to determine which hedge provides the most price protection. Additionally, the effects of different hedge lengths with regard to net price were estimated.

description: Drone cell (DC) is an emerging technique to offer flexible and cost-effective wireless connections to collect Internet-of-things (IoT) data in uncovered areas of terrestrial networks. The flying trajectory of DC significantly impacts the data collection performance. However, designing the trajectory is a challenging issue due to the complicated 3D mobility of DC, unique DC-to-ground (D2G) channel features, limited DC-to-BS (D2B) backhaul link quality, etc. In this paper, we propose a 3D DC trajectory design for the DC-assisted IoT data collection where multiple DCs periodically fly over IoT devices and relay the IoT data to the base stations (BSs). The trajectory design is formulated as a mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problem to minimize the average user-to-DC (U2D) pathloss, considering the state-of-the-art practical D2G channel model. We decouple the MINLP problem into multiple quasi-convex or integer linear programming (ILP) sub-problems, which optimizes the user association, user scheduling, horizontal trajectories and DC flying altitudes of DCs, respectively. Then, a 3D multi-DC trajectory design algorithm is developed to solve the MINLP problem, in which the sub-problems are optimized iteratively through the block coordinate descent (BCD) method. Compared with the static DC deployment, the proposed trajectory design can lower the average U2D pathloss by 10-15 dB, and reduce the standard deviation of U2D pathloss by 56%, which indicates the improvements in both link quality and user fairness.

description: Experimental investigation of cavitation in liquid helium 3 has revealed a singular behaviour in the degenerate region at low temperature. As the temperature decreases below 80 mK, the cavitation pressure becomes significantly more negative. To investigate this, we have extrapolated the Fermi parameters in the negative pressure region. This allowed us to calculate the zero sound velocity, which we found to remain finite at the spinodal limit where the first sound velocity vanishes. We discuss the impact on the nucleation of the gas phase in terms of a quantum stiffness of the Fermi liquid. As a result we predict a cavitation pressure which is nearer to the spinodal line than previously thought.

description: In recent decades, there has been assertions that climate change triggers conflict via multiple pathways, including food shortages, pest and disease incidence expansion, and water scarcity. However, broad empirical studies on the link are still lacking. This study aims to quantitatively explore that linkage using a global dataset. This involves development of a model that predicts the probability of conflict incidence given climate variations. We apply both parametric and semiparametric techniques in a rolling window scheme, which allows for a system that evolves over time. Two criteria are employed to evaluate out-of-sample predictive capability of the estimated models. Our investigation suggests that precipitation variation has a statistically significant effect on conflict. Generally we find the more that this year’s precipitation is smaller than last years the more likely is civil conflict.

description: To assess gadoxetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) value in classification (benign vs. malignant) and characterization of solid focal liver lesions (SFLLs) and impact on confidence in diagnosis. A total of 195 lesions (46 hepatocellular carcinomas [HCCs], 45 metastases, 32 adenomas, 37 focal nodular hyperplasias [FNHs] and 35 hemangiomas) were retrospectively evaluated in 93 patients. Three imaging datasets were compared: DWI/ apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) (set A), Gd-EOB-DTPA (set B) and combination of both (set C). Two radiologists (R) independently classified (on a five-point ordinal scale) and characterized each lesion. The accuracy in classification and characterization was compared, and the diagnostic confidence was assessed. The classification accuracy on set A, B and C was 86.2%, 91.3% and 91.8% (R1), and 84.6%, 91.8% and 93.3% (R2); and characterization accuracy was 67.2%, 88.2% and 87.7% (R1), and 60.5%, 88.2% and 85.6% (R2). Classification by reader 1 showed no significant difference between set A and B (p=.09). For both readers, there was a significant difference between set A and C in both classification and characterization (all p < .05), but no significant difference between set B and C in neither classification nor characterization. No significant difference between the three datasets in classification and characterization of hemangiomas (all p > .05). The diagnostic confidence of the readers has increased progressively from set A to Set C (all p < .01). DWI may suggest benignity or malignancy of solid liver lesions, while Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced imaging remains superior in lesions characterization and the combination of both increases the diagnostic confidence. DWI is very helpful in the diagnosis of hepatic hemangiomas.

description: No-core configuration interaction (NCCI) calculations for p-shell nuclei give rise to rotational bands, identified by strong intraband E2 transitions and by rotational patterns for excitation energies, electromagnetic moments, and electromagnetic transitions. However, convergence rates differ significantly for different rotational observables and for different rotational bands. The choice of internucleon interaction may also substantially impact the convergence rates. Consequently, there is a substantial gap between simply observing the qualitative emergence of rotation in ab initio calculations and actually carrying out detailed quantitative comparisons. In this contribution, we illustrate the convergence properties of rotational band energy parameters extracted from NCCI calculations, and compare these predictions with experiment, for the isotopes 7-11Be, and for the JISP16 and Daejeon16 interactions.

description: Objective: To define resilience metrics for cognitive decline based on plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid-β (Aβ) and examine the demographic, genetic, and neuroimaging factors associated with interindividual differences among metrics of resilience and to demonstrate the ability of such metrics to predict the diagnostic conversion to mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: In this study, cognitively normal (CN) participants with Aβ-positive were included from the Sino Longitudinal Study on Cognitive Decline (SILCODE, n = 100) and Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI, n = 144). Using a latent variable model of data, metrics of resilience [brain resilience (BR), cognitive resilience (CR), and global resilience (GR)] were defined based on the plasma Aβ and CSF Aβ. Linear regression analyses were applied to investigate the association between characteristics of individuals (age, sex, educational level, genetic, and neuroimaging factors) and their resilience. The plausibility of these metrics was tested using linear mixed-effects models and Cox regression models in longitudinal analyses. We also compared the effectiveness of these metrics with conventional metrics in predicting the clinical progression. Results: Although individuals in the ADNI cohort were older (74.68 [5.65] vs. 65.38 [4.66], p < 0.001) and had higher educational levels (16.3 [2.6] vs. 12.6 [2.8], p < 0.001) than those in the SILCODE cohort, similar loadings between resilience and its indicators were found within both models. BR and GR were mainly associated with age, women, and brain volume in both cohorts. Prediction models showed that higher CR and GR were related to better cognitive performance, and specifically, all types of resilience to CSF Aβ could predict longitudinal cognitive decline. Conclusion: Different phenotypes of resilience depending on cognition and brain volumes were associated with different factors. Such comprehensive resilience provided insight into the mechanisms of susceptibility for Alzheimer's disease (AD) at the individual level, and interindividual differences in resilience had the potential to predict the disease progression in CN people.

description: Introduction
Patellar fractures are rare at 1% incidence of all fractures. However, they can cause significant functional impairments due to the patella’s role in knee joint extension. Current scoring systems lack objectivity in assessing patellar healing. This study aims to validate the Radiographic Union Score for Tibia (RUST) using biplanar radiographs for assessing surgically treated patellar fractures.
Materials and methods
A retrospective analysis of radiological follow-up examinations was conducted on patients undergoing surgical treatment for patellar fractures from January 1st 2013, to June 30th 2023. Thirty patients were randomly selected, yielding 105 postoperative X-rays representing various healing stages. The modified Radiographic Union Score for Tibia (RUST) was applied to these X-rays by three independent trauma surgeons. Radiological follow-up examinations were randomized, pseudonymized, and stored on a hospital server for blinded assessment by three raters. The modified RUST assessed continuity of patellar borders and cortexes, assigning scores based on cortical bridging. Interobserver and intraobserver reliability were evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), adhering to recommended sample size criteria and interpretation guidelines.
Results
The mean modified RUST was 9.1 ± 2.2 points, with scores ranging from 4 to 12 points. The interobserver intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.88 (95% CI, 0.81–0.92) and the intraobserver ICC were 0.6 (95% CI, 0.65–0.84), 0.80 (95% CI, 0.71–0.87) and 0.98 (0.98–0.99) respectively, which indicated good to excellent agreement.
Conclusions
This study validated the Radiographic Union Score for Tibia (RUST) for evaluating bone healing in patellar fractures treated with osteosynthesis, demonstrating good intra- and interobserver reliability. The modified RUST can provide a standardized method for assessing healing in patellar fractures, benefiting both clinical practice and clinical trials.

description: We study generalized parton distributions in the impact parameter representation, including the case of nonzero skewness xi. Using Lorentz invariance, and expressing parton distributions in terms of impact parameter dependent wave functions, we investigate in which way they simultaneously describe longitudinal and transverse structure of a fast moving hadron. We compare this information with the one in elastic form factors, in ordinary and in k_T dependent parton distributions.

Indirect Signatures of CP Violation in the Processes $γγ\to γγ$, $γZ$, and $ZZ$

description: This paper studies the utility of the processes $γγ\to γγ$, $γZ$, and $ZZ$ in searching for sources of CP violation arising from energy scales beyond the production thresholds of planned future colliders. In the context of an effective Lagrangian approach we consider the most general set of CP odd SU(2) $\times$ U(1) operators that give rise to genuinely quartic gauge boson couplings which can be probed in $2 \to 2$ scattering processes at a $γγ$ collider. We study each process in detail, emphasizing the complementary information that is obtained by varying the initial beam polarizations. Finally, we compare our results to other constraints in the literature on CP odd gauge boson interactions and quartic gauge boson couplings; the search reaches obtained here are typically stronger and nicely complement previous studies which have focused primarily on $W$ boson, top quark, or Higgs production.
