description: We build the framework for performing loop computations in the defect version of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory which is dual to the probe D5-D3 brane system with background gauge-field flux. In this dCFT, a codimension-one defect separates two regions of space-time with different ranks of the gauge group and three of the scalar fields acquire non-vanishing and space-time-dependent vacuum expectation values. The latter leads to a highly non-trivial mass mixing problem between different colour and flavour components, which we solve using fuzzy-sphere coordinates. Furthermore, the resulting space-time dependence of the theory's Minkowski space propagators is handled by reformulating these as propagators in an effective AdS4. Subsequently, we initiate the computation of quantum corrections. The one-loop correction to the one-point function of any local gauge-invariant scalar operator is shown to receive contributions from only two Feynman diagrams. We regulate these diagrams using dimensional reduction, finding that one of the two diagrams vanishes, and discuss the procedure for calculating the one-point function of a generic operator from the SU(2) subsector. Finally, we explicitly evaluate the one-loop correction to the one-point function of the BPS vacuum state, finding perfect agreement with an earlier string-theory prediction. This constitutes a highly non-trivial test of the gauge-gravity duality in a situation where both supersymmetry and conformal symmetry are partially broken.

description: To determine the effects of ankle-foot orthoses (AFO) on step-based physical activities in individuals with neurological, orthopaedic, or cardiovascular disorders. Electronic searches of databases such as Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, ProQuest, Cochrane Library, and EBSCO were conducted. Two evaluators independently searched with keywords focusing on step-based physical activities, and either articulated or non-articulated AFO. Study quality was assessed using a modified Downs and Black quality scale. Eleven studies that met the inclusion criteria were selected, including four being classified as good, four as fair, and three as poor in quality. The majority of these trials found no significant effects of AFO on step activities. Only a few studies reported improvements in step counts and active times in step activity with a limited to moderate level of evidence. Subjective evaluations such as user satisfaction, and physical functionality during step activity, on the other hand, showed substantial changes with the use of AFO interventions, although there was no evidence of improvement in the quality of life. Although the AFO did not seem to have a substantial effect on step activity, it appeared to play a vital role in improving the patient satisfaction level of step activity.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONAnkle-foot orthoses (AFO) may not significantly affect the step activity of individuals with impaired ankle-foot complex.AFO may enhance patient-reported satisfaction, physical functioning, participation, and fatigue level during step activity.The patient’s perception that the AFO is beneficial is in contrast to objective data showing no significant increase in real-world activity.

AFO may enhance patient-reported satisfaction, physical functioning, participation, and fatigue level during step activity.

description: Electromagnetic forming is an impulse-based forming technique where high dynamic pressure is distributed to conductive materials by pure electromagnetic interaction. The aim of this paper is to present how springback can be controlled when the EMF technique is used as a second corrective step; bringing formed parts to the desired final shape by means of magnetic impulses in critical areas of the formed components. This analysis is based on the results of two experimental studies. In the first, the selected preformed specimen shape is the L-shape bent part of HSS DP600, in 0.8 and 1.95 mm thickness, and Aluminium Alloy 5754, in 1 and 2 mm thickness. The second geometries are two rocket nozzle panels made of a thick but soft copper alloy. While the geometry and the material are the similar, the first approach of this work was developed using smaller panels (about 30 cm long) and the full size (about 1 m long), in order to study the behaviour of the material and the approximate energy levels required to scale up the full size panels. Overall this study shows EM forming can have a potent effect in controlling springback.

description: The X-ray emission from active galactic nucleus (AGN) is a major component of extragalactic X-ray sky. In this paper, we use the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) and halo occupation distribution (HOD) formalism to construct a halo model for the X-ray emission from AGNs. Verifying that the two inputs (XLF and HOD) are in agreement with each other, we compute the auto-correlation power spectrum in the soft X-ray band (0.5-2 keV) due to the AGNs potentially resolved by eROSITA (extended ROentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array) mission and explore the redshift and mass dependence of the power spectrum. Studying the relative contribution of the Poisson and the clustering terms to the total power, we find that at multipoles $l\lesssim 1000$ (i.e. large scales), the clustering term is larger than the Poisson term. We also forecast the potential of X-ray auto-correlation power spectrum and X-ray-lensing cross-correlation power spectrum using eROSITA and eROSITA-LSST (Large Synoptic Survey Telescope) surveys, respectively, to constrain the HOD parameters and their redshift evolution. In addition, we compute the power spectrum of the AGNs lying below the flux resolution limit of eROSITA, which is essential to understand in order to extract the X-ray signal from the hot diffuse gas present in galaxies and clusters.

How many three-dimensional Hilbert curves are there?

Subjects: subject: Computational Geometry (cs.CG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Hilbert's two-dimensional space-filling curve is appreciated for its good locality-preserving properties and easy implementation for many applications. However, Hilbert did not describe how to generalize his construction to higher dimensions. In fact, the number of ways in which this may be done ranges from zero to infinite, depending on what properties of the Hilbert curve one considers to be essential. In this work we take the point of view that a Hilbert curve should at least be self-similar and traverse cubes octant by octant. We organize and explore the space of possible three-dimensional Hilbert curves and the potentially useful properties which they may have. We discuss a notation system that allows us to distinguish the curves from one another and enumerate them. This system has been implemented in a software prototype, available from the author's website. Several examples of possible three-dimensional Hilbert curves are presented, including a curve that visits the points on most sides of the unit cube in the order of the two-dimensional Hilbert curve; curves of which not only the eight octants are similar to each other, but also the four quarters; a curve with excellent locality-preserving properties and endpoints that are not vertices of the cube; a curve in which all but two octants are each other's images with respect to reflections in axis-parallel planes; and curves that can be sketched on a grid without using vertical line segments. In addition, we discuss several four-dimensional Hilbert curves.

description: Ground-based gravitational wave interferometers such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) are susceptible to high-magnitude teleseismic events, which can interrupt their operation in science mode and significantly reduce the duty cycle. It can take several hours for a detector to stabilize enough to return to its nominal state for scientific observations. The down time can be reduced if advance warning of impending shaking is received and the impact is suppressed in the isolation system with the goal of maintaining stable operation even at the expense of increased instrumental noise. Here we describe an early warning system for modern gravitational-wave observatories. The system relies on near real-time earthquake alerts provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Hypocenter and magnitude information is generally available in 5 to 20 minutes of a significant earthquake depending on its magnitude and location. The alerts are used to estimate arrival times and ground velocities at the gravitational-wave detectors. In general, 90\% of the predictions for ground-motion amplitude are within a factor of 5 of measured values. The error in both arrival time and ground-motion prediction introduced by using preliminary, rather than final, hypocenter and magnitude information is minimal. By using a machine learning algorithm, we develop a prediction model that calculates the probability that a given earthquake will prevent a detector from taking data. Our initial results indicate that by using detector control configuration changes, we could prevent interruption of operation from 40-100 earthquake events in a 6-month time-period.

description: There exist well motivated models of particle dark matter which predominantly scatter inelastically off nuclei in direct detection experiments. This inelastic transition causes the DM to up-scatter in terrestrial experiments into an excited state up to 550 keV heavier than the DM itself. An inelastic transition of this size is highly suppressed by both kinematics and nuclear form factors. We extend previous studies of inelastic DM to determine the present bounds on the scattering cross section, and the prospects for improvements in sensitivity. Three scenarios provide illustrative examples: nearly pure Higgsino DM; magnetic inelastic DM; and inelastic models with dark photon exchange. We determine the elastic scattering rate as well as verify that exothermic transitions are negligible. Presently, the strongest bounds on the cross section are from xenon at LUX-PandaX (δ< 160 keV), iodine at PICO (160 < δ< 300 keV), and tungsten at CRESST (when δ> 300 keV). Amusingly, once δ> 200 keV, weak scale (and larger) DM - nucleon scattering cross sections are allowed. The relative competitiveness of these experiments is governed by the upper bound on the recoil energies employed by each experiment, as well as strong sensitivity to the mass of the heaviest element in the detector. Several implications, including sizable recoil energy-dependent annual modulation, and improvements for future experiments are discussed. We show that the xenon experiments can improve on the PICO results, if they were to analyze their existing data over a larger range of recoil energies, i.e., 20-500 keV. We also speculate about several reported events at CRESST between 45-100 keV, that could be interpreted as inelastic DM scattering. Future data from PICO, CRESST and xenon experiments can test this with anaylses of high energy recoil data.

description: The most simple superrenormalizable model of quantum gravity is based on the general local covariant six-derivative action. In addition to graviton such a theory has massive scalar and tensor modes. It was shown recently that in the case when the massive poles emerge in complex conjugate pairs, the theory has also unitary $S$-matrix and hence can be seen as a candidate to be a consistent quantum gravity theory. In the present work we construct the modified Newton potential and explore the gravitational light bending in a general six-derivative theory, including the most interesting case of complex massive poles. In the case of the light deflection the results are obtained within classical and semiclassical approaches.

description: For each simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ (excluding, for trivial reasons, type ${\sf C}$) we find the lowest possible degree of an invariant second-order PDE over the adjoint variety in $\mathbb{P}\mathfrak{g}$, a homogeneous contact manifold. Here a PDE $F(x^i,u,u_i,u_{ij})=0$ has degree $\le d$ if $F$ is a polynomial of degree $\le d$ in the minors of $(u_{ij})$, with coefficients functions of the contact coordinates $x^i$, $u$, $u_i$ (e.g., Monge-Ampère equations have degree 1). For $\mathfrak{g}$ of type ${\sf A}$ or ${\sf G}$ we show that this gives all invariant second-order PDEs. For $\mathfrak{g}$ of type ${\sf B}$ and ${\sf D}$ we provide an explicit formula for the lowest-degree invariant second-order PDEs. For $\mathfrak{g}$ of type ${\sf E}$ and ${\sf F}$ we prove uniqueness of the lowest-degree invariant second-order PDE; we also conjecture that uniqueness holds in type ${\sf D}$.

Investigating the role of human mitochondrial matrix AAA+ proteases in proteostasis and disease

Mitochondria play crucial roles in energy production and the regulation of metabolic pathways and as such the correct maintenance of mitochondrial integrity is essential to the overall health of a cell. An important aspect of mitochondrial integrity is maintenance of protein homeostasis (proteostasis) within the organelle, and key to this is the regulated removal of damage or unwanted proteins in a timely fashion. This process is carried out by ATP-dependent proteases such as LONM, CLPXP and m-AAA protease and mutations in these components are associated with diverse human diseases. To date, however, little is known about the physiological role of these machines or the substrates they recognise. Similarly, the mechanism of action of substrate binding and specificity of these proteases also remains poorly defined. In this study, the two matrix localised ATP-dependent proteases, LONM and CLPXP were examined. In the first part of this study the recognition motif of two known, but poorly defined, “native” substrates of LONM (StAR and SDH5) was analysed. This analysis identified a general binding motif for LONM, in which “native” protein substrates contain two elements for recognition by LONM. Mutation or deletion of these elements rendered the protein stable in vitro. Significantly, these findings suggest that preventing the premature clearance of some proteins may serve as a useful therapeutic option to treat disease states associated with a proteostasis imbalance. In the second part of this study, the molecular basis of Perrault syndrome was examined through generating disease-specific point mutations in CLPP (T145P, C147S and Y229D). Interestingly, although all three mutants were successfully imported into mitochondria, they each exhibited a range of defects. While C147S exhibited relatively mild defects, Y229D exhibited a loss of interaction with the partner peptidase CLPX. In contrast T145P exhibited broad defects in oligomerisation, interaction with the partner unfoldase CLPX and surprisingly exhibited a hyper-stimulated peptidase activity. Collectively these data provide a molecular basis for the underlying cause of Perrault syndrome.

description: We study the low-temperature charge transfer reaction between a neutral atom and an ion under the influence of near-resonant laser light. By setting up a multi-channel model with field-dressed states we demonstrate that the reaction rate coefficient can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude with laser intensities of $10^6$ W/cm$^2$ or larger. In addition, depending on laser frequency one can induce a significant enhancement or suppression of the charge-exchange rate coefficient. For our intensities multi-photon processes are not important.

Ecology and behaviour of postlarvae and juveniles of the velvet swimming crab Necora puber (L.)

description: Ecological studies of early benthic stages of brachyurans are rare for most of the species, leaving a gap in the understanding of processes regulating the recruitment to adult populations. The velvet swimming crab Necora puber (L. ) is a valuable commercial species where most of studies have been focused on the adult population. Little is known about the supply-side ecology and the post-settlement processes that affect the dynamics of the adult populations. The aims of the present study were to investigate the physical processes affecting the supply of recruits to the nearshore, to examine the processes associated with habitat selection during settlement, and to describe the biology and ecology of the juveniles of N. puber. The study was carried out in the shallow waters and on the rocky shores of Plymouth Sound, on the southwest coast of the UK. Distribution of the pelagic postlarvae was patchy, and the abundance varied spatially in tens and thousands of metres. In temporal scales, the annual pattern was dominated by low occurrence of megalopae, punctuated by episodic peaks of high abundance. In the water column, most of the megalopae were collected at the surface and their abundance appears to be regulated by the tidal cycle, as megalopae were more abundant during flood than ebb tides. This behaviour could produce a net shoreward transport of megalopae. Laboratory experiments indicated that flow conditions set initial patterns of distribution of settlers on substrata of different tri-dimensional structure. However, active habitat selection occurred and the settlers were actively modifying the distribution patterns set by the hydrodynamics. Ontogenetic shift in habitat use occurred early in the juvenile phase and first juvenile instars were less habitat specific than megalopae. During the benthic phase, juvenile growth was markedly seasonal, and virtually no growth occurred in winter. Results from the present study indicated that juvenile growth rate is slower than previously described for N. puber. Magnitudes of juvenile recruitment were variable between years, but level off at the end of the 1+ year class on most of the shores studied. This suggests that mortality is high for early juveniles and appears to be density dependent on some shores. High density-dependent mortality can obscure the connectivity between larval and adult populations, so for the population of N. puber studied, better correlations may be obtained from juvenile-to-adult relationships.

description: We study stress tensor correlation functions in four-dimensional conformal field theories with large $N$ and a sparse spectrum. Theories in this class are expected to have local holographic duals, so effective field theory in anti-de Sitter suggests that the stress tensor sector should exhibit universal, gravity-like behavior. At the linearized level, the hallmark of locality in the emergent geometry is that stress tensor three-point functions $\langle TTT\rangle$, normally specified by three constants, should approach a universal structure controlled by a single parameter as the gap to higher spin operators is increased. We demonstrate this phenomenon by a direct CFT calculation. Stress tensor exchange, by itself, violates causality and unitarity unless the three-point functions are carefully tuned, and the unique consistent choice exactly matches the prediction of Einstein gravity. Under some assumptions about the other potential contributions, we conclude that this structure is universal, and in particular, that the anomaly coefficients satisfy $a\approx c$ as conjectured by Camanho et al. The argument is based on causality of a four-point function, with kinematics designed to probe bulk locality, and invokes the chaos bound of Maldacena, Shenker, and Stanford.

description: Lipids represent a significant energy source in dogs’ diets. Moreover, dogs need some essential fatty acids, such as linoleic and α-linolenic fatty acids, because they are not able to produce them endogenously. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of different dietary lipid sources on faecal microbial populations and activities using different evaluations. Hemp seed oil and swine tallow were tested as lipid supplements in a commercial canned diet at a ratio of 3.5% (HL1 and HL2, respectively). These diets were compared with one rich in starch (HS). Twelve dogs were recruited and equally divided into three groups. Faeces samples at 30 days were used as inoculum and incubated with three different substrates (MOS, inulin, and cellulose) using the in vitro gas production technique. The faecal cell numbers of relevant bacteria and secondary metabolites were analysed (in vivo trial). In vitro evaluation showed that the faeces of the group fed the diet with hemp supplementation had better fermentability despite lower gas production. The in vivo faecal bacterial count showed an increase in Lactobacillus spp. In the HL1 group. Moreover, a higher level of acetate was observed in both evaluations (in vitro and in vivo). These results seem to indicate a significant effect of the dietary fatty acid profile on the faecal microbial population.

'Proxy-equation' paradigm - A novel strategy for massively-parallel asynchronous computations

description: Massively parallel simulations of transport equation systems call for a paradigm change in algorithm development to achieve efficient scalability. Traditional approaches require time synchronization of processing elements (PEs) which severely restricts scalability. Relaxing synchronization requirement introduces error and slows down convergence. In this paper, we propose and develop a novel `proxy-equation' concept for a general transport equation that (i) tolerates asynchrony with manageable added error, (ii) preserves convergence order and (iii) scales efficiently on massively parallel machines. The central idea is to modify \textit{a priori} the transport equation at the PE boundaries to offset asynchrony errors. Proof-of-concept computations are performed using a one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation. The results demonstrate the promise and advantages of the present strategy.

description: As efforts to establish a clean, renewable energy infrastructure are growing, the demands for safe and reliable energy storage systems are growing as well. Despite their widespread application in low-power consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries are struggling to match the performance needs required for high-power applications, including electric vehicles and grid energy storage. At the same time, traditional battery management systems (BMS) relying solely on voltage, current, and temperature measurements have failed to keep up with the dynamic needs of the industry, and, as a result, the electric vehicle market has been plagued by headlines of lithium-ion battery fires and explosions. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of lithium-ion battery systems in high-power applications, accurate health monitoring for catastrophic failure prevention is of the utmost importance. This thesis explores the viability of ultrasonic inspection for early damage detection in cells undergoing thermal abuse. Specifically, initial studies are reported on the use of ultrasonic wave measurements for detection of cell damage while simultaneously monitoring voltage, current, temperature, and mechanical clamping force under varying electrical, mechanical, and thermal loading conditions. Time- and frequency-domain features of the acoustic signals are monitored for excitation frequencies of 0.1–1 MHz transmitted along two propagation paths. Correlations between changes in time of flight and signal amplitude with variations in electrical, mechanical, and thermal loading conditions are presented for cells subjected to electrochemical cycling and thermal abuse scenarios. Early ultrasonic indicators of damage evolution in the cells are presented, compared with traditional detection methods, and discussed with respect to excitation frequency, propagation path, and known damage mechanisms in lithium-ion batteries. The results presented in this work highlight the ability of ultrasonic waves to detect internal mechanical changes during battery operation and illustrate the predictive capability of ultrasonic inspection for damage detection up to thirty minutes in advance of cell rupture.
Einrichtung von Lernumgebungen bei optimiertem Einsatz beschränkter Ressourcen

description: Multimedia hat inzwischen seinen festen Platz in jedem Aufsatz über Lehre an Schulen und Hochschulen. Trotzdem ist die Einrichtung von Lernumgebungen ein nach wie vor aktuelles Thema, auch angesichts der oft festzustellenden zurückhaltenden Nutzung durch Professoren und Studenten. Damit ein Multimediaangebot von Studenten angenommen wird, muss der zusätzliche Nutzen (i.a. Scheinerwerb) klar erkennbar sein. Dazu ist die direkte Einbindung in den Vorlesungsbetrieb notwendig, sei es durch Einsatz von Lernprogrammen in der Vorlesung, sei es die Empfehlung von Lernprogrammen. In jedem Fall muss die Verknüpfung mit dem aktuellen Lernstoff offenbar werden. Voraussetzung sind einfache Zugänglichkeit und Bedienbarkeit der Lernumgebung sowie der zuverlässige Betrieb der Lernserver. Bei der Erstellung einer Lernumgebung sind ausserdem die in der Hochschule vorgegebenen Randbedingungen entscheidend. An der FH Bochum wird die Bibliothek EDV-technisch vom Administrator der Verwaltung mit betreut, ein Mitarbeiter der Bibliothek übernimmt teilweise die Vor-Ort-Betreuung der Rechner. Nach Projektablauf muss die Aktualisierung der Lernserver-Inhalte von Bibliotheksmitarbeitern zusätzlich zu den übrigen Aufgaben übernommen werden. Die Lernumgebung muss daher auch mit z.B. Frontpage zu warten sein. Dies führt zu einer einfachen Strukturierung der Lernumgebung und zum Verzicht auf komplexe Zusatzfunktionen. Durch eine gute Zusammenarbeit mit den Fachbereichen können wartungsintensive Aufgaben wie z.B. eine Mailfunktion auch von Professoren die dies wünschen auf deren Server bereitgestellt werden. Im Projektverlauf wurden an der FHB Bochum Strukturen und der Prototyp einer Lernumgebung geschaffen, die den obigen Anforderungen gerecht wird. Um die Nutzung der Lernprogramme zu erleichtern, sollten diese im Netz sowohl in der Bibliothek als auch in Vorlesungssälen und Übungsräumen zugänglich gemacht werden. Zudem waren häufige Abstürze wegen verschiedener DLL-Versionen der Lernprogramme auf Einzelplatzrechnern an der Tagesordnung. Eine HTML-basierte Lernumgebung bietet neben der Möglichkeit, leicht Dokumente aller Art einbinden zu können auch den Vorteil bekannter Browser-Funktionen zur Steuerung. Verschiedene Zugriffsmöglichkeiten auf die Inhalte kommen den unterschiedlichen Lerntypen entgegen: Vor allem für den Anfänger werden in Lernpfaden ausgewählte MM-Inhalte um ein Vorlesungsskript gruppiert. Explorierendes Lernen dagegen wird gefördert über den Zugriff nach Fachgebieten in einer Baumstruktur, eine Suchfunktion soll auch gezieltes Nachschlagen ermöglichen. Schliesslich wurde auch der Zugang zur Digitalen Bibliothek NRW in das Zugriffssystem integriert. Zunächst mussten dafür in Bochum die Grundvoraussetzungen geschaffen werden. Nachdem ein NT-Netzwerk eingerichtet war, wurde mit Ultra*Net der Firma R*R aus Graz, die uns in Bezug auf unsere Vorstellungen sehr entgegengekommen sind, eine Software zum Anzeigen der Lernprogramme installiert.

description: This article studies the Cauchy problem for the Boltzmann equation with stochastic kinetic transport. Under a cut-off assumption on the collision kernel and a coloring hypothesis for the noise coefficients, we prove the global existence of renormalized (in the sense of DiPerna/Lions) martingale solutions to the Boltzmann equation for large initial data with finite mass, energy, and entropy. Our analysis includes a detailed study of weak martingale solutions to a class of linear stochastic kinetic equations. This study includes a criterion for renormalization, the weak closedness of the solution set, and tightness of velocity averages in $L^1$.
