description: This study was designed to investigate the hepatoprotective effect of chiisanoside (CSS) and its possible mechanisms on acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver damage in mice. The serum activities of alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and the hepatic levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined using the commercially available assay kits. The hepatic mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR. The hepatic protein expressions of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), MAPK and their phosphorylated isoforms were evaluated by western blot assays. The results indicated that CSS (240 mg/kg) exhibited the hepatoprotective effects by inhibiting oxidative stress and inflammation on APAP-induced acute liver injury. Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory activity of CSS is largely related to the regulation of the NF-κB and MAPKs signaling pathways. These findings suggested that CSS possessed hepatoprotective effect against APAP-induced hepatotoxicity in mice.

description: The possible transition to the so-called ultimate regime, wherein both the bulk and the boundary layers are turbulent, has been an outstanding issue in thermal convection, since the seminal work by Kraichnan [Phys. Fluids 5, 1374 (1962)]. Yet, when this transition takes place and how the local flow induces it is not fully understood. Here, by performing two-dimensional simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence covering six decades in Rayleigh number Ra up to $10^{14}$ for Prandtl number Pr $=1$, for the first time in numerical simulations we find the transition to the ultimate regime, namely at $\textrm{Ra}^*=10^{13}$. We reveal how the emission of thermal plumes enhances the global heat transport, leading to a steeper increase of the Nusselt number than the classical Malkus scaling $\textrm{Nu} \sim \textrm{Ra}^{1/3}$ [Proc. R. Soc. London A 225, 196 (1954)]. Beyond the transition, the mean velocity profiles are logarithmic throughout, indicating turbulent boundary layers. In contrast, the temperature profiles are only locally logarithmic, namely within the regions where plumes are emitted, and where the local Nusselt number has an effective scaling $\textrm{Nu} \sim \textrm{Ra}^{0.38}$, corresponding to the effective scaling in the ultimate regime.

description: We consider the 2D wavelet transform with two scales to study sky maps of temperature anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB). We apply this technique to simulated maps of small sky patches of size 12.8 \times 12.8 square degrees and 1.5' \times 1.5' pixels. The relation to the standard approach, based on the cl's is established through the introduction of the scalogram. We consider temperature fluctuations derived from standard, open and flat-Lambda CDM models. We analyze CMB anisotropies maps plus uncorrelated Gaussian noise (uniform and non-uniform) at idfferent S/N levels. We explore in detail the denoising of such maps and compare the results with other techniques already proposed in the literature. Wavelet methods provide a good reconstruction of the image and power spectrum. Moreover, they are faster than previously proposed methods.

description: We study multiple scatterings of jets on constituents of quark gluon plasma and introduce energy--energy correlations to quantify their effects. The effects from a longitudinally expanding plasma on medium as well as high energy jets are found to be significant at both RHIC and LHC energies. Because jets escape from the plasma long before the completion of mixed phase, these effects are free from complications of final state hadronic interactions and decays. These suggest that jets can be used to probe the plasma that might be created in future high energy heavy ion collisions.

description: This work addresses the problem of exact schedulability assessment in uniprocessor mixed-criticality real-time systems with sporadic task sets. We model the problem by means of a finite automaton that has to be explored in order to check for schedulability. To mitigate the state explosion problem, we provide a generic algorithm which is parameterised by several techniques called oracles and simulation relations. These techniques leverage results from the scheduling literature as "plug-ins" that make the algorithm more efficient in practice. Our approach achieves up to a 99.998% reduction in the search space required for exact schedulability testing, making it practical for a range of task sets, up to 8 tasks or maximum periods of 350. This method enables to challenge the pessimism of an existing schedulability test and to derive a new dynamic-priority scheduler, demonstrating its good performance. This is the full version of an RTNS 2024 paper.

description: We explore the idea that the chiral phase transition in QCD can be described as a transition from a disordered instanton liquid to a strongly correlated phase of polarized instanton anti-instanton molecules. We find a number of non perturbative effects caused by the presence of instantons above T_c, among them the fact that instantons contribute to the euquation of state. We also study how instantons affect the propagation of light quarks at high temperature and determine the spacelike screening masses for mesons and baryons. We derive the corresponding effective interaction and find that the interaction in the scalar-pseudoscalar channel is attractive and four times stronger than the one in the vector-axial-vector channel, in agreement with recent lattice QCD simulations.

description: Two new anthraquinone derivatives, selaginones A (1) and B (2), and one new triarylbenzophenone analog, selagibenzophenone B (3), were isolated from Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) Spring. Their structures were established by 1D-, 2D-NMR and HR-ESI-MS data. Compounds 1 and 2 represent the uncommon examples of aryl substituted anthraquinone derivatives. Especially, compound 2 is a unique anthranone with exceptional structural feature, in which a p-hydroxyphenyl moiety is attached to the C-10 position. Compound 3 is the second naturally occurring triarylbenzophenone and showed moderate activity against SMCC-7721 and MHCC97-H cell lines with IC50 values of 39.8, 51.5 μM respectively.

description: The structure of the hot downstream region below a radiative accretion shock, such as that of an accreting compact object, may oscillate due to a global thermal instability. The oscillatory behaviour depends on the functional forms of the cooling processes, the energy exchanges of electrons and ions in the shock-heated matter, and the boundary conditions. We analyse the stability of a shock with unequal electron and ion temperatures, where the cooling consists of thermal bremsstrahlung radiation which promotes instability, plus a competing process which tends to stabilize the shock. The effect of transverse perturbations is considered also. As an illustration, we study the special case in which the stabilizing cooling process is of order 3/20 in density and 5/2 in temperature, which is an approximation for the effects of cyclotron cooling in magnetic cataclysmic variables. We vary the efficiency of the second cooling process, the strength of the electron-ion exchange and the ratio of electron and ion pressures at the shock, to examine particular effects on the stability properties and frequencies of oscillation modes.

description: We study the gravitational lensing in the weak field approximation assuming the presence of a plasma and of a magnetic field around a compact gravitational source. The external magnetic field causes the split of the image, as the counterpart of the Zeeman effect. The magnetic field affects the magnification of images, creating additional components. We also study the time delay of an electromagnetic signal due to the geometry and the gravitational field around the source. We show that the time delay strongly depends on the plasma parameters. Lastly, we consider the effects of the presence of an inhomogeneous plasma on the gravitational lensing.

description: In the past year, polarized deep inelastic scattering experiments at CERN and SLAC have obtained structure function measurements off proton, neutron and deuteron targets at a level of precision never before achieved. The measurements can be used to test the Bjorken and Ellis-Jaffe sum rules, and also to obtain information on the parton distributions in polarized nucleons. We perform a global leading-order QCD fit to the proton deep inelastic data in order to extract the spin-dependent parton distributions. By using parametric forms which are consistent with theoretical expectations at large and small $x$, we find that the quark distributions are now rather well constrained. We assume that there is no significant intrinsic polarization of the strange quark sea. The data are then consistent with a modest amount of the proton's spin carried by the gluon, although the shape of the gluon distribution is not well constrained, and several qualitatively different shapes are suggested. The spin-dependent distributions we obtain can be used as input to phenomenological studies for future polarized hadron-hadron and lepton-hadron colliders.

description: In this work, we consider a scheduling problem faced by production companies with large electricity consumption. Due to the contract with the electric utility, the production companies are obligated to comply with the total energy consumption limits in the specified time intervals (usually 15-minutes long), otherwise, the companies pay substantial penalty fees. Although it is possible to design production schedules that consider these limits as hard constraints, uncertainties occurring during the execution of the schedules are usually not taken into account. This may lead to situations in which the unexpected delays of the operations cause the violations of the energy consumption limits. Our goal is to design robust production schedules pro-actively guaranteeing that the energy consumption limits are not violated for the given set of uncertainty scenarios. We consider scheduling on one machine with release times of the operations and total tardiness as the objective function. To tackle this problem, we first propose a pseudo-polynomial algorithm for finding the optimal robust schedule for the given permutation of the operations. This algorithm is then utilised in three different algorithms for finding the optimal permutation: two exact (Branch-and-Bound and logic-based Benders decomposition) and one heuristic algorithm (tabu search). All the algorithms were experimentally evaluated on random instances with different sizes of the uncertainty scenarios set. Using the tabu search algorithm, we are able to solve large instances within one minute.

We argue that this extension is possible, provided the Operator Product Expansion and QCD-hadron duality remain valid at non-zero temperature. We discuss evidence in support of this from QCD, and from the exactly solvable two- dimensional sigma model O(N) in the large N limit, and the Schwinger model.

description: We consider transformations of the $2\times2$ propagator matrix in real-time finite-temperature field theory, resulting in transformed $n$--point functions. As special cases of such a transformation we examine the Keldysh basis, the retarded/advanced $RA$ basis, and a Feynman-like $F\bar F$ basis, which differ in this context as to how ``economically'' certain constraints on the original propagator matrix elements are implemented. We also obtain the relation between some of these real-time functions and certain analytic continuations of the imaginary-time functions. Finally, we compare some aspects of these bases which arise in practical calculations.

description: We present a statistical model which shows the influence of turbulence on a thermonuclear flame propagating in C+O white dwarf matter. Based on a Monte Carlo description of turbulence, it provides a method for investigating the physics in the so-called distributed burning regime. Using this method we perform numerical simulations of turbulent flames and show that in this particular regime the flamelet model for the turbulent flame velocity loses its validity. In fact, at high turbulent intensities burning in the distributed regime can lead to a deceleration of the turbulent flame and thus induces a competing process to turbulent effects that cause a higher flame speed. It is also shown that in dense C+O matter turbulent heat transport is described adequately by the Peclet number, Pe, rather than by the Reynolds number, which means that flame propagation is decoupled from small-scale turbulence. Finally, at the onset of our results we argue that the available turbulent energy in an exploding C+O white dwarf is probably too low in order to make a deflagration to detonation transition possible.

Here, we used atom probe tomography and electron microscopy to investigate the hydrogen distribution in a set of specimens of commercially pure Ti, model and commercial Ti-alloys. Although likely partly introduced during specimen preparation with the focused-ion beam, we show formation of Ti-hydrides along α grain boundaries and α/\b{eta} phase boundaries in commercial pure Ti and α+\b{eta} binary model alloys. No hydrides are observed in the α phase in alloys with Al addition or quenched-in Mo supersaturation.

description: Secure multiparty computation (SMC) is a promising technology for privacy-preserving collaborative computation. In the last years several feasibility studies have shown its practical applicability in different fields. However, it is recognized that administration and management overhead of SMC solutions are still a problem. A vital next step is the incorporation of SMC in the emerging fields of the Internet of Things and (smart) dynamic environments. In these settings, the properties of these contexts make utilization of SMC even more challenging since some of its vital premises regarding environmental stability and preliminary configuration are not initially fulfilled. We bridge this gap by providing FlexSMC, a management and orchestration framework for SMC which supports the discovery of nodes, supports a trust establishment between them and realizes robustness of SMC session by handling nodes failures and communication interruptions. The practical evaluation of FlexSMC shows that it enables the application of SMC in dynamic environments with reasonable performance penalties and computation durations allowing soft real-time and interactive use cases.

description: We calculate the contribution from nonlocal vacuum condensates of quark fields to the hadronic part of the photon structure function $F_2(x)$ in the operator product expansion approach to QCD. The result is a smooth function of $x$ and its magnitude is comparable with one of gluon condensate. Extrapolation to the case of real photon is realized with the help of the model, suggested by Gorsky et al. As a result we obtain a substantial improvement of the agreement with experimental data for the standard value of the parameter $λ_q^2 \equiv \langle\bar qD^2 q\rangle /\langle\bar qq\rangle \approx 0.5 \ \ GeV^2 $.}

description: CONTEXT: The role of expert judgement is essential in our quest to improve software project planning and execution. However, its accuracy is dependent on many factors, not least the avoidance of judgement biases, such as the anchoring bias, arising from being influenced by initial information, even when it's misleading or irrelevant. This strong effect is widely documented. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to replicate this anchoring bias using professionals and, novel in a software engineering context, explore de-biasing interventions through increasing knowledge and awareness of judgement biases. METHOD: We ran two series of experiments in company settings with a total of 410 software developers. Some developers took part in a workshop to heighten their awareness of a range of cognitive biases, including anchoring. Later, the anchoring bias was induced by presenting low or high productivity values, followed by the participants' estimates of their own project productivity. Our hypothesis was that the workshop would lead to reduced bias, i.e., work as a de-biasing intervention. RESULTS: The anchors had a large effect (robust Cohen's $d=1.19$) in influencing estimates. This was substantially reduced in those participants who attended the workshop (robust Cohen's $d=0.72$). The reduced bias related mainly to the high anchor. The de-biasing intervention also led to a threefold reduction in estimate variance. CONCLUSIONS: The impact of anchors upon judgement was substantial. Learning about judgement biases does appear capable of mitigating, although not removing, the anchoring bias. The positive effect of de-biasing through learning about biases suggests that it has value.

description: Pixel microlensing, i.e. gravitational microlensing of unresolved stars, can be used to explore distant stellar systems, and as a bonus may be able to detect extragalactic planets. In these studies, binary-lens events with multiple high-magnification peaks are crucial. Considering only those events which exhibit caustic crossings, we estimate the fraction of binary events in several example pixel microlensing surveys and compare them to the fraction of binary events in a classical survey with resolved stars. We find a considerable enhancement of the relative rate of binary events in pixel microlensing surveys, relative to surveys with resolved sources. We calculate the rate distribution of binary events with respect to the time between caustic crossings. We consider possible surveys of M31 with ground-based telescopes and of M87 with HST and NGST. For the latter, a pixel microlensing survey taking one image a day may observe of order one dozen binary events per month.

description: The NVIDIA Volta GPU microarchitecture introduces a specialized unit, called "Tensor Core" that performs one matrix-multiply-and-accumulate on 4x4 matrices per clock cycle. The NVIDIA Tesla V100 accelerator, featuring the Volta microarchitecture, provides 640 Tensor Cores with a theoretical peak performance of 125 Tflops/s in mixed precision. In this paper, we investigate current approaches to program NVIDIA Tensor Cores, their performances and the precision loss due to computation in mixed precision. Currently, NVIDIA provides three different ways of programming matrix-multiply-and-accumulate on Tensor Cores: the CUDA Warp Matrix Multiply Accumulate (WMMA) API, CUTLASS, a templated library based on WMMA, and cuBLAS GEMM. After experimenting with different approaches, we found that NVIDIA Tensor Cores can deliver up to 83 Tflops/s in mixed precision on a Tesla V100 GPU, seven and three times the performance in single and half precision respectively. A WMMA implementation of batched GEMM reaches a performance of 4 Tflops/s. While precision loss due to matrix multiplication with half precision input might be critical in many HPC applications, it can be considerably reduced at the cost of increased computation. Our results indicate that HPC applications using matrix multiplications can strongly benefit from using of NVIDIA Tensor Cores.

The origin of wide-angle tailed radio galaxies

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: To investigate the origins of wide-angle tailed radio sources (WATs), we have compiled a sample of these systems in Abell clusters for which X-ray data exist. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the WATs are found to be significantly displaced from the X-ray centroids of their host clusters. The bends in the WATs' radio jets are found to be oriented preferentially such that they point directly away from or toward the cluster centre, with more of the former than the latter. If this morphology is attributed to ram pressure, then the WATs are on primarily radial orbits, with more approaching the X-ray centroid than receding. There is also some evidence that the in-coming WATs are on average further from the X-ray centroid than the out-going ones. All of these observations strongly support a scenario in which WATs are created in cluster mergers.

description: Based on the recent CDF report on the top-quark, we have carried out an analysis on the Higgs mass within the minimal standard electroweak theory using the latest data on the $W$-mass. Although this theory is in quite a happy situation now, we wish to point out that more precise measurements of $M_W$ and $m_t$ in the future are crucial and they could come to require some new physics beyond it.

Deep Dictionary Learning: A PARametric NETwork Approach

description: Deep dictionary learning seeks multiple dictionaries at different image scales to capture complementary coherent characteristics. We propose a method for learning a hierarchy of synthesis dictionaries with an image classification goal. The dictionaries and classification parameters are trained by a classification objective, and the sparse features are extracted by reducing a reconstruction loss in each layer. The reconstruction objectives in some sense regularize the classification problem and inject source signal information in the extracted features. The performance of the proposed hierarchical method increases by adding more layers, which consequently makes this model easier to tune and adapt. The proposed algorithm furthermore, shows remarkably lower fooling rate in presence of adversarial perturbation. The validation of the proposed approach is based on its classification performance using four benchmark datasets and is compared to a CNN of similar size.
Spontaneous patterns in coherently driven polariton microcavities

description: We consider a polariton microcavity resonantly driven by two external lasers which simultaneously pump both lower and upper polariton branches at normal incidence. In this setup, we study the occurrence of instabilities of the pump-only solutions towards the spontaneous formation of patterns. Their appearance is a consequence of the spontaneous symmetry breaking of translational and rotational invariance due to interaction induced parametric scattering. We observe the evolution between diverse patterns which can be classified as single-pump, where parametric scattering occurs at the same energy as one of the pumps, and as two-pump, where scattering occurs at a different energy. For two-pump instabilities, stripe and chequerboard patterns become the dominant steady-state solutions because cubic parametric scattering processes are forbidden. This contrasts with the single-pump case, where hexagonal patterns are the most common arrangements. We study the possibility of controlling the evolution between different patterns. Our results are obtained within a linear stability analysis and are confirmed by finite size full numerical calculations.

B stars as a diagnostic of star-formation at low and high redshift

description: We have extended the evolutionary synthesis models by Leitherer et al. (1999b) by including a new library of B stars generated from the IUE high-dispersion spectra archive. We present the library and show how the stellar spectral properties vary according to luminosity classes and spectral types. We have generated synthetic UV spectra for prototypical young stellar populations varying the IMF and the star formation law. Clear signs of age effects are seen in all models. The contribution of B stars in the UV line spectrum is clearly detected, in particular for greater ages when O stars have evolved. With the addition of the new library we are able to investigate the fraction of stellar and interstellar contributions and the variation in the spectral shapes of intense lines. We have used our models to date the spectrum of the local super star cluster NGC1705-1. Photospheric lines of CIII1247, SiIII1417, and SV1502 were used as diagnostics to date the burst of NGC 1705-1 at 10 Myr. We have selected the star-forming galaxy 1512-cB58 as a first application of the new models to high-z galaxies. This galaxy is at z=2.723, it is gravitationally lensed, and its high signal-to-noise Keck spectrum show features typical of local starburst galaxies, such as NGC 1705-1. Models with continuous star formation were found to be more adequate for 1512-cB58 since there are spectral features typical of a composite stellar population of O and B stars. A model with Z =0.4Z_solar and an IMF with alpha=2.8 reproduces the stellar features of the 1512-cB58 spectrum.

description: We have measured 492 redshifts (311 new) in the direction of the poor cluster AWM~7 and have identified 179 cluster members (73 new). We use two independent methods to derive a self-consistent mass profile, under the assumptions that the absorption-line galaxies are virialized and that they trace an underlying Navarro, Frenk & White (1997) dark matter profile: (1) we fit such an NFW profile to the radial distribution of galaxy positions and to the velocity dispersion profile; (2) we apply the virial mass estimator to the cluster. With these assumptions, the two independent mass estimates agree to \sim 15% within 1.7 h^{-1} Mpc, the radial extent of our data; we find an enclosed mass \sim (3+-0.5)\times 10^{14} h^{-1} M_\odot. The largest potential source of systematic error is the inclusion of young emission-line galaxies in the mass estimate. We investigate the behavior of the surface term correction to the virial mass estimator under several assumptions about the velocity anisotropy profile, still within the context of the NFW model, and remark on the sensitivity of derived mass profiles to outliers. We find that one must have data out to a large radius in order to determine the mass robustly, and that the surface term correction is unreliable at small radii.
