description: We analyze the thermodynamics of massless bosonic systems in D-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime, considering scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational fields. Their dynamics are described by Poschl-Teller effective potentials and quantized in a unified framework, with the determination of the associated energy spectra. From the microscopic description developed, a macroscopic thermodynamic treatment is proposed, where an effective volume in anti-de Sitter geometry is defined and a suitable thermodynamic limit is considered. Partition functions are constructed for the bosonic gases, allowing the determination of several thermodynamic quantities of interest. With the obtained results, general aspects of the thermodynamics are explored.

description: In the Czech Republic, spatial data archiving is an official part of the Strategy for the Development of Infrastructure for Spatial Information in the Czech Republic after 2020+. This goes hand in hand with the right to public information and the publication of open data datasets too. All this generates high demands on both sides, archives and creators especially in the area of technical knowledge, software and hardware, data throughput, data management in digital archives, digital skills, metadata creation in various standards including the necessary validation. The National Archives sees an automation of at least part of these workflows as the only realistic solution to this very complex issue. We would like to present the results from our project supported by The Technology Agency of the Czech Republic as a way how we try to solve it, our own tools and a tool that was developed within the project too.

description: We find a class of new supersymmetric dyonic black holes in four-dimensional maximal gauged supergravity which are asymptotic to the ${\rm SU(3)}\times {\rm U(1)}$ invariant AdS$_4$ Warner vacuum. These black holes can be embedded in eleven-dimensional supergravity where they describe the backreaction of M2-branes wrapped on a Riemann surface. The holographic dual description of these supergravity backgrounds is given by a partial topological twist on a Riemann surface of a three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFT that is obtained by a mass-deformation of the ABJM theory. We compute explicitly the topologically twisted index of this SCFT and show that it accounts for the entropy of the black holes.

Tongue-Trackpad: An Interactive Intraoral Wearable

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Discreet tongue tracking devices could enable new approaches in human-computer interactions and provide a means for quantification of tongue movements, potentially advancing diagnostic, and rehabilitation methods. We have developed the Tongue-Trackpad, a multifunctional interactive intraoral device that detects tongue contact using capacitive sensing. We conducted a study centered on human-computer interaction, where we assessed 10 unimpaired individuals’ performance with cursor control. After 86 minutes of non-continuous practice, subjects exhibited an 86% increase in accuracy and speed of cursor control, alongside a 40% error reduction in their movement paths, indicating a trend towards straighter paths. We also identified an on-screen keyboard layout optimized for tongue-typing, with subjects achieving 53% of the character input rate observed with a standard laptop touchpad.

Additionally, we conducted a study to measure tongue movement in 32 unimpaired subjects during self-directed exploration, with 16 of them receiving visual feedback. Our findings showed that visual feedback increased the consistency of position distributions by 51%, broadened the coverage area by 22%, and achieved a 51% more uniform distribution. This analysis enabled us to establish a statistical model representing unimpaired tongue capability. We utilized this model as a reference and identified motor deficits and pathology-specific signatures in 9 individuals with motor speech disorders. These results lay the groundwork for future research on utilizing the tongue's capabilities for human computer-interaction and the development of new diagnostic and rehabilitation techniques.

description: This paper presents the first prototype of an active hand-held instrument to sense and compensate physiological tremor and other unwanted movement during vitreoretinal microsurgery. The instrument incorporates six inertial sensors (three accelerometers and three rate gyros) to detect motion of the handle. The movement of the instrument tip in three dimensions is then obtained using appropriate kinematic calculations. The motion captured is processed to discriminate between desired and undesired components of motion. Tremor canceling will be implemented via the weighted-frequency Fourier linear combiner (WFLC) algorithm, and compensation of non-tremorous erroneous motion via an experimental neural-network technique. The instrument tip is attached to a three- degree-of-freedom parallel manipulator, actuated by three piezoelectric stacks. The actuators move the tool tip in opposition to the motion of the tremor or other erroneous motion, thereby suppressing the error. Experimental results show that the prototype is able to follow one-dimensional and three-dimensional trajectories with rms error of 2.5 μm and 11.2 μm respectively.

description: The mean electromotive force and alpha effect are computed for a forced turbulent flow using a simple nonlinear dynamical model. The results are used to check the applicability of two basic analytic ansatze of mean-field magnetohydrodynamics - the second order correlation approximation (SOCA) and the tau approximation. In the numerical simulations the effective Reynolds number Re is 2-20, while the magnetic Prandtl number varies from 0.1 to $10^{7}$. We present evidence that the $τ$ approximation may be appropriate in dynamical regimes where there is a small-scale dynamo. Catastrophic quenching of the $α$ effect is found for high $P_{m}$. Our results indicate that for high $P_{m}$ SOCA gives a very large value of the $α$ coefficient compared with the ``exact'' solution. The discrepancy depends on the properties of the random force that drives the flow, with a larger difference occuring for $δ$-correlated force compared with that for a steady random force.

description: We report a search in cold, quiescent and in hot core type interstellar molecular clouds for the small cyclic molecule oxiranecarbonitrile (C3H3NO), which has been suggested as a precursor of important prebiotic molecules. We have determined upper limits to the column density and fractional abundance for the observed sources and find that, typically, the fractional abundance by number relative to molecular hydrogen of C3H3NO is less than a few times 10–10. This limit is one to two orders of magnitude less than the measured abundance of such similarly complex species as CH3CH2CN and HCOOCH3 in well-studied hot cores. A number of astrochemical discoveries were made, including the first detection of the species CH3CH2CN in the massive star-forming clouds G34.3+0.2 and W51M and the first astronomical detections of some eight rotational transitions of CH3CH2CN, CH3CCH, and HCOOCH3. In addition, we found 8 emission lines in the 89 GHz region and 18 in the 102 GHz region which we were unable to assign.

description: Background: Human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV-1) has a minimal genome of only 9 genes, which encode 15 proteins. HIV-1 thus depends on the human host for virtually every aspect of its life cycle. The universal language of communication in biological systems, including between pathogen and host, is via signal transduction pathways. The fundamental units of these pathways are protein protein interactions. Understanding the functional significance of HIV-1, human interactions requires viewing them in the context of human signal transduction pathways. Results: Integration of HIV-1, human interactions with known signal transduction pathways indicates that the majority of known human pathways have the potential to be effected through at least one interaction with an HIV-1 protein at some point during the HIV-1 life cycle. For each pathway, we define simple paths between start points (i.e. no edges going into a node) and end points (i.e. no edges leaving a node). We then identify the paths that pass through human proteins that interact with HIV-1 proteins. We supplement the combined map with functional information, including which proteins are known drug targets and which proteins contribute significantly to HIV-1 function as revealed by recent siRNA screens. We find that there are often alternative paths starting and ending at the same proteins but circumventing the intermediate steps disrupted by HIV-1. Conclusion: A mapping of HIV-1, human interactions to human signal transduction pathways is presented here to link interactions with functions. We proposed a new way of analyzing the virus host interactions by identifying HIV-1 targets as well as alternative paths bypassing the HIV-1 targeted steps. This approach yields numerous experimentally testable hypotheses on how HIV-1 function may be compromised and human cellular function restored by pharmacological approaches. We are making the full set of pathway analysis results available to the community.

description: We report the results of N-body simulations of disrupting satellites aimed at exploring whether the observed features of dSphs can be accounted for with simple, mass-follows-light (MFL) models including tidal disruption. As a test case, we focus on the Carina dwarf Spheroidal (dSph), which presently has the most extensive data at large radius. We find that previous N-body, MFL simulations of dSphs did not sufficiently explore the parameter space of satellite mass, density and orbital shape to find adequate matches to Galactic dSph systems, whereas with a systematic survey of parameter space we are able to find tidally disrupting, MFL satellite models that rather faithfully reproduce Carina's velocity profile, velocity dispersion profile and projected density distribution over its entire sampled radius. The successful MFL model satellites have very eccentric orbits, currently favored by Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models, and central velocity dispersions that still yield an accurate representation of the bound mass and observed central M/L~40 of Carina, despite inflation of the velocity dispersion outside the dSph core by unbound debris. Our survey of parameter space also allows us to address a number of commonly held misperceptions of tidal disruption and its observable effects on dSph structure and dynamics. The simulations suggest that even modest tidal disruption can have a profound effect on the observed dynamics of dSph stars at large radii. Satellites that are well-described by tidally disrupting MFL models could still be fully compatible with L-CDM if for example they represent a later stage in the evolution of luminous subhalos.

description: This dissertation presents evidence that the production of Free and Open Source Software (FLOSS) is far more alone than together; it is far more often individual work done “in company” than it is teamwork. When tasks appear too large for an individual they are more likely to be deferred until they are easier rather than be undertaken through teamwork. This way of organizing is successful because it fits with the motivations of the participants, the nature of software development as a task, and the key technologies of FLOSS collaboration. The empirical findings are important because they ground and motivate a theory that enables a systematic approach to understanding the implications of FLOSS development as a model for adaptation and the future of work. The dissertation presents a process of discovery (participant observation), replication (a systematic study of pro ject archives), and generalization to theory (a model of the rational choices of developers and an analysis of the flexibility of software as a task). The dissertation concludes by enumerating the conditions under which this theory of organizing is likely to be successful, such as non-revokable and rewindable work with incremental incentives. These are used as a framework to analyze efforts to adapt the FLOSS model of organizing for self-organizing, virtual teams in other domains of work. Future developments of this dissertation, errata and discussion will be available at http://james.howison.name/pubs/dissertation.html.

description: We investigated the correlation between nuclear/circumnuclear starbursts around the active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the AGN activities for 43 Seyfert galaxies in the CfA and 12 micron samples. We found that circumnuclear starburst luminosity as well as nuclear starburst luminosity are positively correlated with AGN luminosity. Moreover, nuclear starburst luminosity is more strongly correlated with the AGN luminosity normalized with AGN Eddington luminosity than is circumnuclear starburst luminosity. This implies that starbursts nearer the AGN could have a greater effect on AGN mass accretion. We also discuss these results from the viewpoint of the radiation effects from starbursts and sequential starbursts.

Twelve of the thirteen sources were detected at our longest baseline of $\sim$50 M$λ$, and their images are presented. Seven of them are the first VLBI images at 6.7 GHz. This high detection rate and the small fringe spacing of $\sim$4 milli-arcsecond suggest that most of the methanol maser sources have compact structure. Given this compactness as well as the known properties of long-life and small internal-motion, this methanol maser line is suitable for astrometry with VLBI.

description: The Kamioka-Korea two detector system is a powerful experimental setup for resolving neutrino parameter degeneracies and probing CP violation in neutrino oscillation. In this paper, we study sensitivities of this same setup to several nonstandard neutrino physics such as quantum decoherence, tiny violation of Lorentz symmetry, and nonstandard interactions of neutrinos with matter. In most cases, the Kamioka-Korea two-detector setup is more sensitive than the one-detector setup, except for the Lorentz symmetry violation with CPT violation, and the nonstandard neutrino interactions with matter. It can achieve significant improvement on the current bounds on nonstandard neutrino physics.

Decays of the Littlest Higgs Z_H and the Onset of Strong Dynamics

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The Little Higgs mechanism, as realized in various models, requires a set of new massive gauge bosons, some of which mix with gauge bosons of the Standard Model. For a range of mixing angles the coupling of gauge bosons to scalars can become strong, ultimately resulting in a breakdown of perturbative calculation. This phenomenon is studied in the Littlest Higgs model, where the approach to strong dynamics is characterized by increasing tree-level decay widths of the neutral Z_H boson to lighter gauge bosons plus multiple scalars. These increasing widths suggest a distinctive qualitative collider signature for the approach to the strong coupling regime of large Higgs and other scalar multiplicities. In this work we catalog the kinematically allowed three-body decays of the Z_H, and calculate the partial width of the process Z_H to Z_L H H. This partial width is found to be larger than the comparable two-body decay Z_H to Z_L H for values of the SU(2) mixing angle cosine(theta) less than 0.13, indicating divergence of the littlest Higgs sigma field expansion at values of cosine(theta) larger than a simple parametric calculation would suggest. Additionally, we present analytical expressions for all two-body decays of the Littlest Higgs Z_H gauge boson, including the effects of all final-state masses.
A Small Internal Deletion in Titin Yields Ion Channel-Dependent Cardiomyopathy and Atrial Fibrillation
Creators: name: Jiang, Xinghang
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Genetic variants may lead to cardiac developmental defects, and the most common type of arrhythmia, Atrial fibrillation (AF), has been shown to be associated occasionally with cardiac developmental defects. However, the mechanisms contributing to this association are unclear. One of the major sarcomere structural proteins, titin, may help reveal these mechanisms because of its roles in both cardiac development and regulating cardiac function. In a screening of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated mutagenesis in zebrafish, I identified a small internal in-frame deletion of 9 amino acids in the Immunoglobin-like domain 139 (Ig-139) of the zebrafish titin A-band region (ttnaΔ9). Compared to previous studies focusing on titin truncating variants that remove large regions and multiple domains, our mutant titin with the small internal deletion may reveal a role of this specific region (Ig-139 domain) in the pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation. Briefly, ttnaΔ9/Δ9 zebrafish exhibit a transient ventricular function defect during development, followed by AF and cardiomyopathy in the adult. Meanwhile, atria exhibit enlargement and reduced contraction in both embryos and adults compared to wild-type clutchmates. How does this transient ventricular defect contribute to atrial fibrillation in adults? I hypothesized that atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) upregulation plays a role in this mechanism because: (1) ANP secretion is upregulated in response to cardiac dysfunctions and (2) previous studies showed ANP overexpression leads to AF through increased potassium slow rectifier channel current (IKs). I found ttnaΔ9/Δ9 embryos show ANP upregulation and ANP-dependent IKs channel remodeling indicated by the downregulation of the IKs channel regulatory subunit kcne1. Specific blocking of the IKs channel with a chemical inhibitor in both the ttnaΔ9/Δ9 zebrafish model and TTNΔ9/Δ9 human iPSC-derived atrial cardiomyocytes reduced arrhythmia and improved atrial contraction, suggesting that the ANP-dependent IKs channel remodeling and increased activity contribute to the pathogenesis of AF and cardiomyopathy in the mutant adult. In conclusion, ttnaΔ9/Δ9 zebrafish exhibit a phenotype suggesting that subtle and transient cardiovascular defects during development may lead to a higher risk of atrial fibrillation in adults. The Δ9 mutation in the Ig-139 domain of titin A-band triggers an ANP-regulated IKs channel remodeling, which may be part of the mechanism and provide potential treatment targets for developmental defects-related adult cardiac diseases.

description: The physics underlying the magnetization process of quantum antiferromagnets is revisited from the viewpoint of geometric phases. A continuum variant of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis-type approach to the problem is put forth, where the commensurability condition of Oshikawa {\it et al} derives from a Berry connection formulation of the system's crystal momentum. %, similar to that developed by Haldane for ferromagnets. %Building on the physical picture which arises, We then go on to formulate an effective field theory which can deal with higher dimensional cases as well. We find that a topological term, whose principle function is to assign Berry phase factors to space-time vortex objects, ultimately controls the magnetic behavior of the system. We further show how our effective action maps into a ${\bf Z}_2$ gauge theory under certain conditions, which in turn allows for the occurrence of a fractionalized phase with topological order.

description: A generalized cross-validation approach to estimate the reconstruction filter bandwidth in two-dimensional Filtered Backprojection is presented. The method writes the reconstruction equation in equivalent backprojected filtering form, derives results on eigendecomposition of symmetric two-dimensional circulant matrices and applies them to make bandwidth estimation a computationally efficient operation within the context of standard backprojected filtering reconstruction. Performance evaluations on a wide range of simulated emission tomography experiments give promising results. The superior performance holds at both low and high total expected counts, pointing to the method's applicability even in weaker signal-noise situations. The approach also applies to the more general class of elliptically symmetric filters, with reconstruction performance often better than even that obtained with the true optimal radially symmetric filter.

description: This paper presents a distributed planning and control architecture for autonomous Multi-Manipulator Systems (MMS). The control architecture is implemented using an agent-based approach. A team of distributed and autonomous agents is deployed to model the flexible assembly system in such a way that the agents negotiate, collaborate, and cooperate to achieve the goals of assembly tasks. The main focus of this paper is on assembly task allocation and assembly task execution. We describe the agent models and communication mechanism, and explain how they handle complex interactions among agents. A distributed trajectory planning approach based on artificial potential fields is also presented. Experimental results show that our multi-agent planning and control framework is suitable for flexible robotic assembly tasks. Our approach addresses the issues of flexibility, scalability, reconfigurability, and fault-tolerance. We anticipate that the same approach can be applied to other flexible manufacturing environments.

description: We propose a novel method for temporally and spatially corresponding moving objects by automatically learning the relevance of the objects’ appearance features to the task of discrimination. Efficient correspondence is achieved by enforcing temporal consistency of the relevances for a particular object. Relevances are learned using a technique we have termed “differential discriminative diagnosis.” An agent is assigned to each moving object in the scene. The agent possesses the basic capability to decide whether or not an object in the scene is the one it represents. Each agent customizes itself to the object by means of differential discriminative diagnosis as the object persists in the scene. We explain this correspondence scheme as applied to the task of corresponding moving people in a surveillance system.

description: The global Internet economy is expected over time to give rise to increasingly agile practices where new supply chain arrangements are dynamically set up in response to changing business conditions and demands for highly customized products and services. To implement these “e-Supply Chain” practices, enterprises need the ability to rapidly evaluate new business opportunities and dynamically identify the best potential supply chain partners to respond to them. They also need the ability to effectively coordinate production and delivery of goods or services across the resulting value chains. In this paper, we introduce MASCOT, an agent-based decision support environment for dynamic supply chain management. MASCOT agents help users distributed across multiple organizations and across different levels within a given enterprise to collaborate on the development and revision of supply chain solutions, as they evaluate different business opportunities (e.g. requests for bids from potential customers) and different sourcing options. The paper also discusses new coordination protocols, developed within the context of MASCOT and aimed at better exploiting the power of finite capacity scheduling functionality across the supply chain. Empirical results are presented quantifying the benefits afforded by these new protocols under different loads and supply chain configurations.

description: Brain extraction (skull stripping) is a challenging problem in neuroimaging. It is due to the variability in conditions from data acquisition or abnormalities in images, making brain morphology and intensity characteristics changeable and complicated. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for skull stripping in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, namely ASMCNN, by combining the Active Shape Model (ASM) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for taking full of their advantages to achieve remarkable results. Instead of working with 3D structures, we process 2D image sequences in the sagittal plane. First, we divide images into different groups such that, in each group, shapes and structures of brain boundaries have similar appearances. Second, a modified version of ASM is used to detect brain boundaries by utilizing prior knowledge of each group. Finally, CNN and post-processing methods, including Conditional Random Field (CRF), Gaussian processes, and several special rules are applied to refine the segmentation contours. Experimental results show that our proposed method outperforms current state-of-the-art algorithms by a significant margin in all experiments.

description: It is shown that racetrack inflation can be implemented in a moduli stabilisation scenario with a supersymmetric uplifting D-term. The resulting model is completely described by an effective supergravity theory, in contrast to the original racetrack models. We study the inflationary dynamics and show that the gaugino condensates vary during inflation. The resulting spectral index is n_s = 0.95 as in the original racetrack inflation model. Hence extra fields do not appear to alter the predictions of the model. An equivalent, simplified model with just a single field is presented.

description: A rapidly deployable fault tolerant manipulator system consists of modular hardware and support software that allow the user to quickly configure and deploy a fault tolerant manipulator that is custom-tailored for a given task. The main focus of this paper is on the Task Based Design component of such a system; that is, the determination of the optimal manipulator configuration, its base position, and the corresponding joint space trajectory for a given task. We introduce a novel agent-based solution approach to task based design and illustrate it with a fault tolerant manipulator design for a satellite docking operation aboard the space shuttle.
Expected neutrino fluence from short Gamma-Ray Burst 170817A and off-axis angle constraints

description: We compute the expected neutrino fluence from SGRB 170817A, associated with the gravitational wave event GW 170817, directly based on Fermi observations in two scenarios: structured jet and off-axis (observed) top-hat jet. While the expected neutrino fluence for the structured jet case is very small, large off-axis angles imply high radiation densities in the jet, which can enhance the neutrino production efficiency. In the most optimistic allowed scenario, the neutrino fluence can reach only $10^{-4}$ of the sensitivity of the neutrino telescopes. We furthermore demonstrate that the fact that gamma-rays can escape limits the baryonic loading (energy in protons versus photons) and the off-axis angle for the internal shock scenario. In particular, for a baryonic loading of ten, the off-axis angle is more strongly constrained by the baryonic loading than by the time delay between the gravitational wave event and the onset of the gamma-ray emission.
