description: Critical transitions are observed in many complex systems. This includes the onset of synchronization in a network of coupled oscillators or the emergence an epidemic state within a population. "Explosive" first-order transitions have caught particular attention in a variety of systems when classical models are generalized by incorporating additional effects. Here we give a mathematical argument that the emergence of such first-order transitions is not surprising but rather a universally expected effect: Varying a classical model along a generic two-parameter family must lead to a change of the criticality. To illustrate our framework, we give three explicit examples of the effect in distinct physical systems: a model of adaptive epidemic dynamics, for a generalization of the Kuramoto model, and for a percolation transition.

An RTD-PBE framework to quantify axial velocity in particulate flow systems
Creators: name: Muddu, Shashank Venkat
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Wet granulation is a unit operation often necessary in solid particulate materials processing and employed in several industries such as food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and detergent production. It involves the aggregation of smaller primary solid particles into larger particulates induced by some compatible liquid. Pharmaceutical industry, like many other chemical processing industries has begun to adopt continuous operations for the downstream manufacturing of oral solid dosage products. The implementation of continuous wet granulation comes with its challenges along with advantages. One example is the apparent discrepancy in the drug product or ‘active pharmaceutical ingredient’ (API) content uniformity across granules size for low drug-load (~4\% target) formulations. Another issue industry practitioners face is determining the time taken for a product stream to reach an off-spec quality and the degree of discrepancy from the standard specifications in the event of a sudden unexpected change in the raw materials input stream. This dissertation study proposes a mathematical approach to looking at these diverse problems faced in continuous wet granulation. The approach looks at implementing a two-step solution to the problem. The first part includes building a predictive Residence Time Distribution (RTD) model that incorporates the effects of processing and equipment configuration parameters such as material flow rates, processing speed, length scales, and the shapes of the equipment. The proposed RTD model predicts intermediate factors, which predict the mean residence time (MRT) and the variance (Var) of the system at different input parameters and configurations. The second part implements these moments of the RTD into population balance equations (PBEs), which describe the flow and spatio-temporal evolution of the particles in the unit operation. Lastly, we will look at the applications of the proposed model to address issues in continuous wet granulation.

description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. The alternative pathway of the complement system and autoantibodies against its proteins. In the alternative pathway (AP), continuous, low-level activation of C3 by spontaneous hydrolysis of the internal C3 thioester, or C3 cleavage by plasma proteases, generates C3(H2O) or C3b. Activation by the AP leads to the generation of C3 convertase complexes (C3bBb) that cleave C3 into C3a and C3b. Additionally, the AP C3 convertase can bind properdin (P), a positive regulator that stabilizes the enzyme, extending its half-life more than 10-fold. The activation of the AP is controlled by two different soluble regulatory proteins, as factor H (FH) and factor I (FI). C3 nephritic factor (C3NeF) is one of the most known autoantibodies which recognized a neo-epitope in the C3 convertase. Other autoantibodies against complement components (C3, FB or P) and regulators (FH or FI), some of them with functional activities, have been shown in the figure. Figure S2. Lack of correlation between complement levels and age. In 20 healthy subjects no correlations were found among age and the levels of (A) C3, (B) C4 (C) factor B (FB) and (D) properdin (P).

description: We present 2D axisymmetric and 3D numerical simulations of the proto-planetary nebula Hen 3-1475, which is characterized by a remarkably highly collimated optical jet, formed by a string of shock-excited knots along the axis of the nebula. It has recently been suggested that the kinematical and morphological properties of the Hen 3-1475 jet could be the result of an ejection variability of the central source (Riera et al. 2003). The observations suggest a periodic variability of the ejection velocity superimposed on a smoothly increasing ejection velocity ramp. From our numerical simulations, we have obtained intensity maps (for different optical emission lines) and position-velocity diagrams, in order to make a direct comparison with the HST observations of this object. Our numerical study allows us to conclude that a model of a precessing jet with a time-dependent ejection velocity, which is propagating into an ISM previously perturbed by an AGB wind, can succesfully explain both the morphological and the kinematical characteristics of this proto-planetary nebula.

description: The expansion of agricultural function is one of the important means for modern agricultural projects to promote agricultural economic benefits. Successful modern agricultural projects require good creative ideas and design programs. While developing high-efficient modern agricultural production activities, we should fully explore the intangible value of agricultural production activities, combine agriculture with agricultural products, natural conditions, cultural conception and other effective resources, to expand agricultural functions, and promote comprehensive benefits. In order to build a sustainable modern agricultural project operation system, Naya Mountain Villa project planning is taken as an example for analysis. Naya Mountain Villa began construction in 2011; the creative planning based on the agricultural expansion function was carried out in 2013; it had successful access to the capital market in 2015. The project realizes the effective integration of agricultural production system and agricultural function expansion, constructs a set of long-term stable profiting models, and lays an important foundation for entering the capital market. The project is a representative example of the function-expanding modern agricultural project. Through the analysis of the design ideas of the project, this paper discusses the function expansion elements of basic resources, public welfare and agricultural function expansion methods, the formation of general ideas, source and construction logic of creative thinking, and summarizes and abstracts some inspiring design methods of agricultural function expansion. Through the analysis of the key points in the design of the specific technical aspects of the project, this paper provides a reference for solving common difficult problems in the practical design. The summary and refinement of the thinking logic, thinking construction and specific design method of the project is inspiring and repeatable to some extent, which can provide reference for the relevant researchers.

description: The UBC student team worked together with the UNA Green Depot and Frameworq to establish a long-term sustainability project. A total of $1162.50 was secured via grants for hosting community textile upcycling events at the Wesbrook Community Centre. These events entail fixing used clothing by using recycled textiles. The pilot event takes place on Apr. 27th, 2019, during the community’s Earth Day celebration. The funding will cover the cost of two events, with the second event anticipated to take place at the start of September. During the promotion phase of the first event, a group of seniors has expressed their interest and plans on taking over organization of this project as “sewing experts” during these events. This involvement of the seniors would decrease the cost of hiring sewing professionals during each event. The engagement of the seniors shows a level of empowerment that will continue to impact the community even after the timeline of the student team’s work term. A tracking system involving a survey was also created for the Green Depot for better in-house tracking of the amount of waste diverted from landfills.

description: We show that if $V$ is a vertex operator algebra such that all the irreducible ordinary $V$-modules are $C_1$-cofinite and all the grading-restricted generalized Verma modules for $V$ are of finite length, then the category of finite length generalized $V$-modules has a braided tensor category structure. By applying the general theorem to the simple affine vertex operator algebra (resp. superalgebra) associated to a finite simple Lie algebra (resp. Lie superalgebra) $\mathfrak{g}$ at level $k$ and the category $KL_k(\mathfrak{g})$ of its finite length generalized modules, we discover several families of $KL_k(\mathfrak{g})$ at non-admissible levels $k$, having braided tensor category structures. In particular, $KL_k(\mathfrak{g})$ has a braided tensor category structure if the category of ordinary modules is semisimple or more generally if the category of ordinary modules is of finite length. We also prove the rigidity and determine the fusion rules of some categories $KL_k(\mathfrak{g})$, including the category $KL_{-1}(\mathfrak{sl}_n)$. Using these results, we construct a rigid tensor category structure on a full subcategory of $KL_1(\mathfrak{sl}(n|m))$ consisting of objects with semisimple Cartan subalgebra actions.
description: We add more details to the proofs and also incorporate some recent progress mainly in Sec. 4 and Sec. 6, we also add Sec. 2.4 summarizing the main results on tensor category theory of vertex (super)algebra extensions that are used in this paper

White matter hybrid computational simulations and 3D convolutional neural networks framework
Creators: name: Wu, Xuehai
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The finite element methods were widely utilized in White Matter (WM) modeling to predict and analyze brain axon injury. The brain axon injury was caused by both the strain magnitude and the strain rate. The purpose of this study is to combine the three fundamental requirements for simulation of WM, which are the axon/neuroglia composite anisotropy, the axonal trace orientations, and dynamic response in the frequency domain. A triphasic (axon, myelin, glia), 2D representative elemental volumes (REVs) was developed to simulate the influence of each phase's intrinsic viscoelastic property and volume fraction. A sensitivity analysis has been applied to the effective transverse modulus to determine which model parameters are essential to the estimated REV-based MRE metrics. In the 3D orthotropic REV model, the information of axonal traces is exploited in this study to specify the material orientation in finite element modeling. The material orientation specification will consider 3D axonal trace position data, which can offer axonal traces directional and locational information. Numerous REVs are integrated as the elements of the WM model based on typical volume fractions (VFs) calculated by the relative distance between the elements and axonal traces. A deep 3D convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm combined with the 3D anisotropic REV model was employed to predict the WM's anisotropic material properties. The architecture information encoded in the voxelated location is used as input data and is consequently incorporated into a 3D CNN model that cross-references the REVs' material properties (output data). The output data (REVs' material properties) is calculated in parallel using an in-house developed finite element method, which models REV samples of axon-myelin-glia composites. This novel combination of the CNN-REV method dramatically reduced the computation time compared with directly using finite element methods.

description: Deep J, H, and K' images obtained with the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope adaptive optics system are used to investigate the metallicity of red giant branch (RGB) stars in three fields in the disk of the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822. The slope of the RGB on the (K, J-K) color-magnitude diagrams indicates that = -1.0 +/- 0.3. The locus of the RGB is bluer than that of globular clusters with the same RGB slope, by an amount that is consistent with the majority of RGB stars in these fields having an age near 3 Gyr. It is demonstrated that if RGB stars in NGC 6822 are this young then the metallicity computed from the RGB slope may be ~ 0.05 dex too low.

description: We have carried out observations at 18.5 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) of 250 out of the 258 Southern extragalactic sources in the complete 5 GHz 1 Jy sample by Kühr et al. (1981). In this paper we focus on the polarization properties of this sample, while other properties will be addressed in a future paper. In our analysis we subdivide the sample into flat and steep spectrum sources following Stickel et al. (1994) classification, where spectral indices were measured between 2.7 and 5 GHz. The polarized flux has been measured with a S/N > 5 for 170 sources (114 flat-spectrum and 56 steep-spectrum) and upper limits have been set for additional 27 sources (12 flat-spectrum and 15 steep-spectrum). The median polarization degree at 18.5 GHz for the flat-spectrum sub-sample is Π_{18.5}\simeq 2.7%, about a factor of 2 higher than at 1.4 GHz (Π_{1.4}\simeq 1.4%, based on NVSS data). For flat-spectrum sources we find a weak correlation between Π_{18.5} and the high frequency (5--18.5 GHz) spectral index. No evidences of significant correlations of the polarization degree with other source properties are found. The median value of Π_{18.5} for the steep spectrum sources is \simeq 4.8%, but our sample might be biased against extended sources. We find indications of a correlation between Π_{18.5} and both the low frequency (1.4--5 GHz) and the high frequency (5--18.5 GHz) spectral indices. An important application of this work is the possibility to estimate the contamination of CMB polarization maps by extragalactic radio sources. Our results indicate that such contamination is within the range of estimates given by Mesa et al. (2002).

description: The integration of deep learning to reinforcement learning (RL) has enabled RL to perform efficiently in high-dimensional environments. Deep RL methods have been applied to solve many complex real-world problems in recent years. However, development of a deep RL-based system is challenging because of various issues such as the selection of a suitable deep RL algorithm, its network configuration, training time, training methods, and so on. This paper proposes a comprehensive software framework that not only plays a vital role in designing a connect-the-dots deep RL architecture but also provides a guideline to develop a realistic RL application in a short time span. We have designed and developed a deep RL-based software framework that strictly ensures flexibility, robustness, and scalability. By inheriting the proposed architecture, software managers can foresee any challenges when designing a deep RL-based system. As a result, they can expedite the design process and actively control every stage of software development, which is especially critical in agile development environments. To enforce generalization, the proposed architecture does not depend on a specific RL algorithm, a network configuration, the number of agents, or the type of agents. Using our framework, software developers can develop and integrate new RL algorithms or new types of agents, and can flexibly change network configuration or the number of agents.

description: Deep reinforcement learning has been applied successfully to solve various real-world problems and the number of its applications in the multi-agent settings has been increasing. Multi-agent learning distinctly poses significant challenges in the effort to allocate a concealed communication medium. Agents receive thorough knowledge from the medium to determine subsequent actions in a distributed nature. Apparently, the goal is to leverage the cooperation of multiple agents to achieve a designated objective efficiently. Recent studies typically combine a specialized neural network with reinforcement learning to enable communication between agents. This approach, however, limits the number of agents or necessitates the homogeneity of the system. In this paper, we have proposed a more scalable approach that not only deals with a great number of agents but also enables collaboration between dissimilar functional agents and compatibly combined with any deep reinforcement learning methods. Specifically, we create a global communication map to represent the status of each agent in the system visually. The visual map and the environmental state are fed to a shared-parameter network to train multiple agents concurrently. Finally, we select the Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic (A3C) algorithm to demonstrate our proposed scheme, namely Visual communication map for Multi-agent A3C (VMA3C). Simulation results show that the use of visual communication map improves the performance of A3C regarding learning speed, reward achievement, and robustness in multi-agent problems.

description: In our previous study, a gene predicted to encode a tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) was found to be significantly up-regulated in root rot diseased Gerbera by transcriptome sequencing. To confirm the genes and investigate the function, we cloned the gene by RT-PCR and then conduct bioinformatic analyses. In this study, a 1537 bp long cDNA sequence of thisgene (named as GhTAT) was firstly cloned, which containeda coding region of 1 233 bp, which was predicted to encode a protein of 410 amino acids. Bioinformatic analysis showed that theGhTAT was a stable hydrophobic protein without signal peptide. Subcellular location prediction result indicated that this protein located in chloroplast, which is the biosynthesis position of tyrosine and the derived products of tyrosine biosynthesis pathway. Moreover, typical tyrosine aminotransferase domain was found in this protein, indicating that it is a TAT. According to the TAT-based phylogenetic analysis and similarity analysis, the closest relationship and highest similarity was found between GhTAT and Halianthus annuus TAT, which again verified the TAT property of GhTAT. Tyrosine aminotransferase (TAT) is the first enzyme in tyrosine biosynthesis pathway, whose products include many antioxidant substances such as tocopherols and tocotrienols. The up-regulation of GhTAT in root rot diseased gerbera suggest that it may play important role in response to the root rot pathogen infection. In addition, 60 phosphorylation sites (accounting for 14.6%) were found in this protein, suggesting that the expression of this protein and its encoding gene were greatly influenced by the phosphorylation reactions.

description: We report detection of continuum emission at 850 and 450 micron from disks around four Classical T Tauri stars in the MBM 12 (L1457) young association. Using a simple model we infer masses of 0.0014-0.012 M_sun for the disk of LkHa 263 ABC, 0.005-0.021 M_sun for S18 ABab, 0.03-0.18 M_sun for LkHa 264 A, and 0.023-0.23 M_sun for LkHa 262. The disk mass found for LkHa 263 ABC is consistent with the 0.0018 M_sun inferred from the scattered light image of the edge-on disk around component C. Comparison to earlier 13CO line observations indicates CO depletion by up to a factor 300 with respect to dark-cloud values. The spectral energy distributions (SED) suggest grain growth, possibly to sizes of a few hundred micron, but our spatially unresolved data cannot rule out opacity as an explanation for the SED shape. Our observations show that these T Tauri stars are still surrounded by significant reservoirs of cold material at an age of 1-5 Myr. We conclude that the observed differences in disk mass are likely explained by binary separation affecting the initial value. With available accretion rate estimates we find that our data are consistent with theoretical expectations for viscously evolving disks having decreased their masses by ~30%.

description: We present the first attempt to select AGN using long-term NIR variability. By analysing the K-band light curves of all the galaxies in the UKIDSS Ultra Deep Survey, the deepest NIR survey over ~1 sq degree, we have isolated 393 variable AGN candidates. A comparison to other selection techniques shows that only half of the variable sources are also selected using either deep Chandra X-ray imaging or IRAC colour selection, suggesting that using NIR variability can locate AGN that are missed by more standard selection techniques. In particular, we find that long-term NIR variability identifies AGN at low luminosities and in host galaxies with low stellar masses, many of which appear relatively X-ray quiet.

Structuring the HD 141569 A circumstellar dust disk. Impact of eccentric bound stellar companions

description: Scattered light images of the optically thin dust disk around the 5 Myr old star HD141569 have revealed its complex asymmetric structure. We show in this paper that the surface density inferred from the observations presents similarities with that expected from a circumprimary disk within a highly eccentric binary system. We assume that either the two M stars in the close vicinity of HD141569 are bound companions or at least one of them is an isolated binary companion. We discuss the resulting interaction with an initially axisymmetric disk. This scenario accounts for the formation of a spiral structure, a wide gap in the disk and a broad faint extension outside the truncation radius of the disk after 10-15 orbital periods with no need for massive companion(s) in the midst of the disk resolved in scattered light. The simulations match the observations and the star age if the perturber is on an elliptic orbit with a periastron distance of 930 AU and an eccentricity from 0.7 to 0.9. We find that the numerical results can be reasonably well reproduced using an analytical approach proposed to explain the formation of a spiral structure by secular perturbation of a circumprimary disk by an external bound companion. We also interpret the redness of the disk in the visible reported by Clampin et al.(2003) and show that short-lived grains one order of magnitude smaller than the blow-out size limit are abundant in the disk. The most probable reason for this is that the disk sustains high collisional activity. Finally we conclude that additional processes are required to clear out the disk inside 150 AU and that interactions with planetary companions possibly coupled with the remnant gas disk are likely candidates.

description: Tunneling two-level systems (TLSs), generic to amorphous solids, dictate the low-temperature properties of amorphous solids and dominate noise and decoherence in quantum nano-devices. The properties of the TLSs are generally described by the phenomenological standard tunneling model. Yet, significant deviations from the predictions of this model found experimentally suggest the need for a more precise model in describing TLSs. Here we show that the temperature dependence of the sound velocity, dielectric constant, specific heat, and thermal conductivity, can be explained using an energy-dependent TLS density of states reduced at low energies due to TLS-TLS interactions. This reduction is determined by the ratio between the strengths of the TLS-TLS interactions and the random potential, which is enhanced in systems with dominant electric dipolar interactions.

description: We characterize the dynamics of relative house prices, housing sales, construction rates and population growth in response to city-specific income shocks for 106 US cities. We then develop a dynamic search model of the housing market in which construction, the entry of buyers, house prices and sales are endogenously determined in equilibrium. Our theory generates dynamics that are qualitatively consistent with our empirical observations and a version of the economy calibrated to match long-run features of the housing market in U.S. cities offers a substantial quantitative improvement over similar models with no search. In particular, variation in the time it takes to sell a house (i.e. the house's liquidity) induces house values and transaction prices to exhibit momentum, or serially correlated growth.

description: This paper introduces a unified theoretical framework for modeling temporal memory dynamics, combining concepts from temporal logic, memory decay models, and hierarchical contexts. The framework formalizes the evolution of propositions over time using linear and branching temporal models, incorporating exponential decay (Ebbinghaus forgetting curve) and reactivation mechanisms via Bayesian updating. The hierarchical organization of memory is represented using directed acyclic graphs to model recall dependencies and interference. Novel insights include feedback dynamics, recursive influences in memory chains, and the integration of entropy-based recall efficiency. This approach provides a foundation for understanding memory processes across cognitive and computational domains.
