description: We consider the hypothesis that nonlocal, omnidirectional, causally-coherent quantum entanglement of inflationary horizons may account for some well-known measured anomalies of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropy on large angular scales. It is shown that causal coherence can lead to less cosmic variance in the large-angle power spectrum ${C}_\ell$ of primordial curvature perturbations on spherical horizons than predicted by the standard model of locality in effective field theory, and to new symmetries of the angular correlation function ${C}(Θ)$. Causal considerations are used to construct an approximate analytic model for ${C}(Θ)$ on angular scales larger than a few degrees. Allowing for uncertainties from the unmeasured intrinsic dipole and from Galactic foreground subtraction, causally-coherent constraints are shown to be consistent with measured CMB correlations on large angular scales. Reduced cosmic variance will enable powerful tests of the hypothesis with better foreground subtraction and higher fidelity measurements on large angular scales.

The computation of the block-error rate on a Rayleigh-fading channel in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise
Creators: name: Maranda, Brian Howard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The problem of computing the probability P[sub f](M,N) of more than M bit errors in a block of N bits for a Rayleigh-fading channel in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise is considered. In the case of very slow Rayleigh fading, analytical formulas for P[sub f](M,N) have been derived in the literature, but these formulas are not well suited for numerical computation. Several simple approximations for the special case P[sub f](O,N) have also appeared in the literature, but apparently no work has been done for the case M > 0. In this thesis an accurate approximation for P[sub f](M,N) is derived, and a bound on the error in this approximation is given. Also included are approximations for P[sub f](M,N) when selection diversity is employed. If very slow fading is not assumed, there exist no known analytical methods for the computation of the block-error probability. Simulations are performed on a digital computer for this case. Furthermore, an empirical formula is derived that can be used to estimate easily and accurately the output of the simulator. The consequence is a great saving of time and effort in the computation of a value of P[sub f](M,N) that is more realistic than that provided under the assumption of very slow fading.

Cephennium delicatum

description: Cephennium delicatum REITTER, 1884
The original description is based on an unspecified number of syntypes from " Süd-Portugal " (REITTER 1884). Besuchet (unpubl.) examined a male syntype labelled "Puerte de Nava Lerada [Serada?]. Süd Portug." (coll. Croissandeau), which he intended to designate as the lectoype, and another male from "Umg. Coriscao, Picos de Europa 2100 m, Franz" (coll. Besuchet). Based on the illustration of the aedeagus of the latter male by Besuchet (unpubl.), C. delicatum belongs to the C. validum group. In view of the restricted distributions of other species of this group, however, it appears rather unlikely that the two males examined belong to the same species. Alternatively, one of them may have been mislabelled.

description: Higher-order exceptional points (EPs), resulting from non-Hermitian degeneracies, have shown greater advantages in sensitive enhancement than second-order EPs (EP2s). Therefore, seeking higher-order EPs in various quantum systems is important for quantum information science. Here we propose a benchmark cavity optomechanical (COM) system consisting of a mechanical resonator (MR) coupled to two cavities via radiation pressure for predicting the third-order exceptional point (EP3). We first give the pseudo-Hermitian condition for the non-Hermitian COM system by taking the bath effects into account. Then we consider the mechanical gain effect and we find that the pseudo-Hermitian COM system without $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry can host both the EP3 and EP2 for symmetric and asymmetric cavities. In the symmetric case, only the EP3 or EP2 can be predicted in the parameter space, but the EP3 and EP2 can be transformed into each other by tuning the COM coupling strength in the asymmetric case. We further consider the case of one cavity with gain. For this case, the pseudo-Hermitian COM system is $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric and can also host the EP3 or EP2. The influence of system parameters on them are discussed. Our proposal provides a potential way to realize sensitive detection and study other physical phenomena {around} higher-order EP3 in non-Hermitian COM systems.

From the analysis of the baryon-antibaryon mass spectra the cross sections for e+e- --> Lambda anti-Lambda, Lambda anti-Sigma0, Sigma0 anti-Sigma0 are measured in the dibaryon mass range from threshold up to 3 GeV/c^2. The ratio of electric and magnetic form factors, |G_E/G_M|, is measured for e+e- --> Lambda anti-Lambda, and limits on the relative phase between Lambda form factors are obtained. We also measure the J/psi --> Lambda anti-Lambda, Sigma0 anti-Sigma0 and psi(2S) --> Lambda anti-Lambda branching fractions.

description: We propose a new method to directly measure a general multi-particle quantum wave function, a single matrix element in a multi-particle density matrix, by quantum teleportation. The density matrix element is embedded in a virtual logical qubit and is nondestructively teleported to a single physical qubit for readout. We experimentally implement this method to directly measure the wavefunction of a photonic mixed quantum state beyond a single photon using a single observable for the first time. Our method also provides an exponential advantage over the standard quantum state tomography in measurement complexity to fully characterize a sparse multi-particle quantum state.

description: There is a growing interest in the stochastic processes of nonequilibrium systems subject to non-conserved forces, such as the magnetic forces acting on charged particles and the chiral self-propelled force acting on active particles. In this paper, we consider the stationary transport of non-interacting Brownian particles under a constant magnetic field in a position-dependent temperature background. We demonstrate the existence of the Nernst-like stationary density current perpendicular to both the temperature gradient and magnetic field, induced by the intricate coupling between the non-conserved force and the multiplicative noises due to the position-dependent temperature.

description: We investigate the spectra of adjacency matrices of multiplex networks under random matrix theory (RMT) framework. Through extensive numerical experiments, we demonstrate that upon multiplexing two random networks, the spectra of the combined multiplex network exhibit superposition of two Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE)s for very small multiplexing strength followed by a smooth transition to the GOE statistics with an increase in the multiplexing strength. Interestingly, randomness in the connection architecture, introduced by random rewiring to 1D lattice, of at least one layer may govern nearest neighbor spacing distribution (NNSD) of the entire multiplex network, and in fact, can drive to a transition from the Poisson to the GOE statistics or vice versa. Notably, this transition transpires for a very small number of the random rewiring corresponding to the small-world transition. Ergo, only one layer being represented by the small-world network is enough to yield GOE statistics for the entire multiplex network. Spectra of adjacency matrices of underlying interaction networks have been contemplated to be related with dynamical behaviour of the corresponding complex systems, the investigations presented here have implications in achieving better structural and dynamical control to the systems represented by multiplex networks against structural perturbation in only one of the layers.

description: Atomic systems in regular lattices are intriguing systems for implementing ideas in quantum simulation and information processing. Focusing on laser cooled ions forming Wigner crystals in Penning traps, we find a robust and simple approach to engineering non-trivial 2-body interactions sufficient for universal quantum computation. We then consider extensions of our approach to the fast generation of large cluster states, and a non-local architecture using an asymmetric entanglement generation procedure between a Penning trap system and well-established linear Paul trap designs.

Influence of topography and infiltrability on soil moisture and run-off generation in a small sub-alpine watershed
Creators: name: Williams, Harry F. L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Temporal and spatial variations in soil moisture conditions were studied in a 7500 m² sub-alpine watershed, in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. Measurements of soil moisture content were derived from electrical resistance cells, located at 34 sites within the watershed. A series of readings were obtained from the upper and lower part of the soil profile at each site, during the snow-free period. The resulting soil moisture behaviour patterns were examined in terms of response to rainfall. Study findings suggest that a model of soil moisture behaviour based on watershed topography is not supported by observed soil moisture conditions. Re-grouping and reexamination of the data in terms of soil-vegetation complexes, resulted in the emergence of more consistent patterns of soil moisture behaviour. These results indicate that soil 'heterogeneity was more influential than topography, in determining soil moisture conditions. The likely implications of this finding for run-off generation are discussed briefly.

description: In light of the most recent cosmological observations, we provide new updated constraints on the slow-roll inflation in different extended scenarios beyond the $Λ\rm{CDM}$ cosmological model. Along with the usual six parameters, we simultaneously vary different combinations of additional parameters, including the running of the scalar spectral index $α_s$, its running of running $β_s$, the tensor amplitude $r$ and the spatial curvature $Ω_k$. From the Planck 2018 data, we find no evidence for a scalar running or a running of running, while analyzing the Atacama Cosmology Telescope data combined with WMAP 9-years observations data we find a preference for non-zero $α_s$ and $β_s$ at the level of 2.9$σ$ and 2.7$σ$, respectively. Anyway, this preference is reduced when the tensor amplitude can vary in the model or $β_s$ is fixed to zero. The upper bound on $r$ is only slightly affected by the additional parameters while the differences in the datasets can remarkably change the compatibility among the different inflationary models, sometimes leading to discordant conclusions.

description: Objective:  A key challenge in ancient DNA research is massive microbial DNA contamination from the deposition site which accumulates post mortem in the study organism’s remains. Two simple and cost-effective methods to enrich the relative endogenous fraction of DNA in ancient samples involve treatment of sample powder with either bleach or Proteinase K pre-digestion prior to DNA extraction. Both approaches have yielded promising but vary-ing results in other studies. Here, we contribute data on the performance of these methods using a comprehensive and systematic series of experiments applied to a single ancient bone fragment from a giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca).Results:  Bleach and pre-digestion treatments increased the endogenous DNA content up to ninefold. However, the absolute amount of DNA retrieved was dramatically reduced by all treatments. We also observed reduced DNA damage patterns in pre-treated libraries compared to untreated ones, resulting in longer mean fragment lengths and reduced thymine over-representation at fragment ends. Guanine–cytosine (GC) contents of both mapped and total reads are consistent between treatments and conform to general expectations, indicating no obvious biasing effect of the applied methods. Our results therefore confirm the value of bleach and pre-digestion as tools in palaeog-enomic studies, providing sufficient material is available.

description: The effects of Mg deficiency in MgB2 films grown by using hybrid physical-chemical vapor deposition were investigated after vacuum annealing at various temperatures. High-quality MgB2 films grown on c-cut Al2O3 substrates with different superconducting transition temperatures (Tc) of 40.2 and 41 K were used in this study. As the annealing temperature was increased from 200 to 800 C, the Mg contents in the MgB2 films systemically decreased, but the Tc's did not change, within 0.12 K, until the annealing temperature reached 700 C. For MgB2 films annealed at 800 C for 30 min, however, no superconductivity was observed, and the temperature dependence of the resistivity showed a semiconducting behavior. We also found that the residual resistivity ratio decreased with increasing annealing temperature.

description: Evolutionary change is considered a major factor influencing the invasion of new habitats by plants. Yet, evidence on how such modifications promote range expansion remains rather limited. Here we investigated flower color modifications in the red poppy, Papaver rhoeas (Papaveraceae), as a result of its introduction into Central Europe and the impact of those modifications on its interactions with pollinators. We found that while flowers of Eastern Mediterranean poppies reflect exclusively in the red part of the spectrum, those of Central European poppies reflect both red and ultraviolet (UV) light. This change coincides with a shift from pollination by glaphyrid beetles (Glaphyridae) to bees. Glaphyrids have red-sensitive photoreceptors that are absent in bees, which therefore will not be attracted by colors of exclusively red-reflecting flowers. However, UV-reflecting flowers are easily detectable by bees, as revealed by visual modeling. In the North Mediterranean, flowers with low and high UV reflectance occur sympatrically. We hypothesize that Central European populations of P. rhoeas were initially polymorphic with respect to their flower color and that UV reflection drove a shift in the pollination system of P. rhoeas that facilitated its spread across Europe.

description: This paper presents an experiment on activity in networks and network formation. The theory predicts a star network. In small groups, the equilibrium is a pure influencer outcome (only the hub chooses positive efforts). In large groups there exists, in addition, a pure connector outcome (hub chooses zero effort, peripheral nodes positive efforts). We test these predictions on a new experimental platform with asynchronous activity in continuous time with small and large groups –ranging from four to hundred subjects. We find that, in all groups, subjects form a generalized star network with small distance, low indegree, and high link inequality. In small groups, subjects choose efforts in line with the pure influencer outcome. In large groups, hubs choose very large efforts (in excess of pure influencer outcome) or they choose very low efforts (close to a pure connector outcome) in response to information feedback on others’ payoffs. We suggest that departures from equilibrium are caused by the complexity of the network environment.

description: Given a video demonstration, can we imitate the action contained in this video? In this paper, we introduce a novel task, dubbed mesh-based action imitation. The goal of this task is to enable an arbitrary target human mesh to perform the same action shown on the video demonstration. To achieve this, a novel Mesh-based Video Action Imitation (M-VAI) method is proposed by us. M-VAI first learns to reconstruct the meshes from the given source image frames, then the initial recovered mesh sequence is fed into mesh2mesh, a mesh sequence smooth module proposed by us, to improve the temporal consistency. Finally, we imitate the actions by transferring the pose from the constructed human body to our target identity mesh. High-quality and detailed human body meshes can be generated by using our M-VAI. Extensive experiments demonstrate the feasibility of our task and the effectiveness of our proposed method.

description: Feae’s viper Azemipos feae belongs to the Azemiopinae subfamily of the Viperidae family. The effects of Viperidae venoms are mostly coagulopathic with limited neurotoxicity manifested by phospholipases A2. From A. feae venom, we have earlier isolated azemiopsin, a novel neurotoxin inhibiting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. To characterize other A. feae toxins, we applied label-free quantitative proteomics, which revealed 120 unique proteins, the most abundant being serine proteinases and phospholipases A2. In total, toxins representing 14 families were identified, among which bradykinin-potentiating peptides with unique amino acid sequences possessed biological activity in vivo. The proteomic analysis revealed also basal (commonly known as non-conventional) three-finger toxins belonging to the group of those possessing neurotoxic activity. This is the first indication of the presence of three-finger neurotoxins in viper venom. In parallel, the transcriptomic analysis of venom gland performed by Illumina next-generation sequencing further revealed 206 putative venom transcripts. Together, the study unveiled the venom proteome and venom gland transciptome of A. feae, which in general resemble those of other snakes from the Viperidae family. However, new toxins not found earlier in viper venom and including three-finger toxins and unusual bradykinin-potentiating peptides were discovered.
Optimal Self-Screening and the Persistence of Identity-Driven Choices

description: Equally performing individuals belonging to different social groups make different occupational and educational choices. I propose a novel explanation for this phenomenon by showing how agents can use statistics about the prevalence of their social type among those successful in a task to limit the adverse effects of momentary noise on decision making when they cannot control for this noise as a Bayesian would. This improves decision making on average, even when the statistics are informationally irrelevant, but can create persistent asymmetries in choice behavior across otherwise identical individuals with different social types that are not driven by ability differences.
Pretzelosity distribution function h_1T^perp and the single spin asymmetry A_UT^sin(3phi-phi_S)

description: The leading twist transverse momentum dependent parton distribution function h_1T^perp, which is sometimes called ``pretzelosity,'' is studied. We review the theoretical properties of this function, and present bag model predictions. We observe an interesting relation valid in a large class of relativistic models: The difference between helicity and transversity distributions, which is often said to be a 'measure of relativistic effects' in nucleon, is nothing but the pretzelosity distribution. Pretzelosity is chirally odd and can be accessed in combination with the Collins effect in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, where it gives rise to an azimuthal single spin asymmetry proportional to sin(3phi-phi_S). We discuss the preliminary deuteron target data from COMPASS, on that observable and make predictions for future experiments on various targets at JLab, COMPASS and HERMES.

description: We demonstrate that using up to seven stellar abundance ratios can place observational constraints on the star formation histories (SFHs) of Local Group dSphs, using the Sculptor dSph as a test case. We use a one-zone chemical evolution model to fit the overall abundance patterns of $α$ elements (which probe the core-collapse supernovae that occur shortly after star formation), $s$-process elements (which probe AGB nucleosynthesis at intermediate delay times), and iron-peak elements (which probe delayed Type Ia supernovae). Our best-fit model indicates that Sculptor dSph has an ancient SFH, consistent with previous estimates from deep photometry. However, we derive a total star formation duration of $\sim0.9$ Gyr, which is shorter than photometrically-derived SFHs. We explore the effect of various model assumptions on our measurement and find that modifications to these assumptions still produce relatively short SFHs of duration $\lesssim1.4$ Gyr. Our model is also able to compare sets of predicted nucleosynthetic yields for supernovae and AGB stars, and can provide insight into the nucleosynthesis of individual elements in Sculptor dSph. We find that observed [Mn/Fe] and [Ni/Fe] trends are most consistent with sub-$M_{\mathrm{Ch}}$ Type Ia supernova models, and that a combination of "prompt" (delay times similar to core-collapse supernovae) and "delayed" (minimum delay times $\gtrsim50$ Myr) $r$-process events may be required to reproduce observed [Ba/Mg] and [Eu/Mg] trends.

description: The light-driven proton pump bacteriorhodopsin (BR) from the extreme halophilic archaeon Halobacterium salinarum is a retinal-binding protein, which forms highly ordered and thermally stable 2D crystals in native membranes (termed purple membranes). BR and purple membranes (PMs) have been and are still being intensively studied by numerous researchers from different scientific disciplines. Furthermore, PMs are being successfully used in new, emerging technologies such as bioelectronics and bionanotechnology. Most published studies used the wild-type form of BR, because of the intrinsic difficulty to produce genetically modified versions in purple membranes homologously. However, modification and engineering is crucial for studies in basic research and, in particular, to tailor BR for specific applications in applied sciences. We present an extensive and detailed protocol ranging from the genetic modification and cultivation of H. salinarum to the isolation, and biochemical, biophysical and functional characterization of BR and purple membranes. Pitfalls and problems of the homologous expression of BR versions in H. salinarum are discussed and possible solutions presented. The protocol is intended to facilitate the access to genetically modified BR versions for researchers of different scientific disciplines, thus increasing the application of this versatile biomaterial.

description: We present a mosaic image of the 1.4GHz radio continuum emission from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) observed with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) and the Parkes Telescope. The mosaic covers 10.8 x 12.3 square degrees with an angular resolution of 40", corresponding to a spatial scale of 10pc in the LMC. The final image is suitable for studying emission on all scales between 40" and the surveyed area. In this paper, we discuss i) the characteristics of the LMC's diffuse and compact radio continuum emission, ii) the fraction of the emission produced by thermal processes and the implied star formation rate in the LMC, and iii) variations in the radio spectral index across the LMC. Two non-standard reduction techniques that we used to process the ATCA visibility data may be of interest for future wide-field radio continuum surveys. The data are open to the astronomical community and should be a rich resource for studies of individual objects such as supernova remnants, HII regions and planetary nebulae, as well as extended features such as the diffuse emission from synchrotron radiation.

description: With the advent of brain imaging techniques and machine learning tools, much effort has been devoted to building computational models to capture the encoding of visual information in the human brain. One of the most challenging brain decoding tasks is the accurate reconstruction of the perceived natural images from brain activities measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In this work, we survey the most recent deep learning methods for natural image reconstruction from fMRI. We examine these methods in terms of architectural design, benchmark datasets, and evaluation metrics and present a fair performance evaluation across standardized evaluation metrics. Finally, we discuss the strengths and limitations of existing studies and present potential future directions.

BETHE-Hydro: An Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian Multi-dimensional Hydrodynamics Code for Astrophysical Simulations
Creators: name: Murphy, Jeremiah W.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In this paper, we describe a new hydrodynamics code for 1D and 2D astrophysical simulations, BETHE-hydro, that uses time-dependent, arbitrary, unstructured grids. The core of the hydrodynamics algorithm is an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) approach, in which the gradient and divergence operators are made compatible using the support-operator method. We present 1D and 2D gravity solvers that are finite differenced using the support-operator technique, and the resulting system of linear equations are solved using the tridiagonal method for 1D simulations and an iterative multigrid-preconditioned conjugate-gradient method for 2D simulations. Rotational terms are included for 2D calculations using cylindrical coordinates. We document an incompatibility between a subcell pressure algorithm to suppress hourglass motions and the subcell remapping algorithm and present a modified subcell pressure scheme that avoids this problem. Strengths of this code include a straightforward structure, enabling simple inclusion of additional physics packages, the ability to use a general equation of state, and most importantly, the ability to solve self-gravitating hydrodynamic flows on time-dependent, arbitrary grids. In what follows, we describe in detail the numerical techniques employed and, with a large suite of tests, demonstrate that BETHE-hydro finds accurate solutions with 2$^{nd}$-order convergence.
