description: Improved understanding of the dynamics of runaway electrons can be obtained by measurement and interpretation of their synchrotron radiation emission. Models for synchrotron radiation emitted by relativistic electrons are well established, but the question of how various geometric effects -- such as magnetic field inhomogeneity and camera placement -- influence the synchrotron measurements and their interpretation remains open. In this paper we address this issue by simulating synchrotron images and spectra using the new synthetic synchrotron diagnostic tool SOFT (Synchrotron-detecting Orbit Following Toolkit). We identify the key parameters influencing the synchrotron radiation spot and present scans in those parameters. Using a runaway electron distribution function obtained by Fokker-Planck simulations for parameters from an Alcator C-Mod discharge, we demonstrate that the corresponding synchrotron image is well-reproduced by SOFT simulations, and we explain how it can be understood in terms of the parameter scans. Geometric effects are shown to significantly influence the synchrotron spectrum, and we show that inherent inconsistencies in a simple emission model (i.e. not modeling detection) can lead to incorrect interpretation of the images.

description: Finite size effects alter not only the energy levels of small systems, but can also lead to new effective interactions within these systems. Here the problem of low energy quantum scattering by a spherically symmetric short range potential in the presence of a general cylindrical confinement is investigated. A Green's function formalism is developed which accounts for the full 3D nature of the scattering potential by incorporating all phase-shifts and their couplings. This quasi-1D geometry gives rise to scattering resonances and weakly localized states, whose binding energies and wavefunctions can be systematically calculated. Possible applications include e.g. impurity scattering in ballistic quasi-1D quantum wires in mesoscopic systems and in atomic matter wave guides. In the particular case of parabolic confinement, the present formalism can also be applied to pair collision processes such as two-body interactions. Weakly bound pairs and quasi-molecules induced by the confinement and having zero or higher orbital angular momentum can be predicted, such as p- and d-wave pairings.

description: Cellular microrheology has shown that cancer cells with high metastatic potential are softer compared to non-tumorigenic normal cells. These findings rely on measuring the apparent Young modulus of whole cells using primarily atomic force microscopy. This study aims to explore whether alternative mechanical parameters have discriminating features with regard to metastatic potential. Magnetic rotational spectroscopy (MRS) is employed in the examination of mammary epithelial cell lines: MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231, representing low and high meta-static potential, alongside normal-like MCF-10A cells. MRS utilizes active micron-sized magnetic wires in a rotating magnetic field to measure the viscosity and elastic modulus of the cy-toplasm. All three cell lines display viscoelastic behavior, with cytoplasmic viscosities ranging from 10-70 Pa s and elastic moduli from 30-80 Pa. It is found that the tumorigenic MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells are softer than the MCF-10A cells, with a twofold decrease in elastic modulus. To differentiate cells with low and high malignancy however, viscosity emerges as the more discriminating parameter, as MCF-7 exhibits a 5 times higher viscosity as compared to MDA-MB-231. These findings highlight the sensitivity of cytoplasmic viscosity to metastatic potential, suggesting its potential utility as a mechanical marker for malignant cancer cells.
A preliminary analysis of the ability of a potential orthotic device to reduce and mitigate shoe slip

Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: This research explores the potential for an "intelligent" orthotic shoe sole to negate, or minimize, longitudinal slip by momentarily increasing friction force. The conceptual device takes the form of a rubberized shoe sole containing pockets of air that can be released via valves controlled by a microprocessor. During a slip event, the valves would be opened and the bladders would be collapsed by the weight of the user, which modulates contact and friction forces. The goal is to increase friction forces in this process, by creating an impact force between the user and ground surface, with the potential to achieve stiction and stop slip. The research first explores how design of the shoe sole can best compensate for longitudinal slip. Lumped parameter models of the system are developed to model bladder behavior and airflow through the system, which are then applied to optimize a prototype design. A friction model specific for two sliding surfaces is developed using basic coulombic friction equations. Simulations and experiments indicated flow rate was a limiting factor using existing valves, but experiments without valves confirmed that impact forces and friction forces can be increased by the system. The impulse created during impact creates a large spike in normal force, which translates into a spike in coulombic friction force that can be mathematically shown to reduce slipping velocity. The spike also causes an increase in Coefficient of Friction (COF) with the shoe and ground surface that, with surface specific testing, can be used to shift the sliding foot from a potentially dangerous kinetic COF range to a more stable static COF. Results of kinematic modeling are presented as well as empirical testing and future work.

description: This paper deals with a new type of warehousing system, Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems (RMFS). In such systems, robots are sent to carry storage units, so-called "pods", from the inventory and bring them to human operators working at stations. At the stations, the items are picked according to customers' orders. There exist new decision problems in such systems, for example, the reallocation of pods after their visits at work stations or the selection of pods to fulfill orders. In order to analyze decision strategies for these decision problems and relations between them, we develop a simulation framework called "RAWSim-O" in this paper. Moreover, we show a real-world application of our simulation framework by integrating simple robot prototypes based on vacuum cleaning robots.

description: We present a general class of operators resembling compact tetraquarks which have a range of colour-flavour-spin structures, transform irreducibly under the symmetries of the lattice and respect other relevant symmetries. These constructions are demonstrated in lattice QCD calculations with light quarks corresponding to $m_π=$ 391 MeV. Using the distillation framework, correlation functions involving large bases of meson-meson and tetraquark operators are computed in the isospin-1 hidden-charm and doubly-charmed sectors, and finite-volume spectra are extracted with the variational method. We find the spectra are insensitive to the addition of tetraquark operators to the bases of meson-meson operators. For the first time, through using diverse bases of meson-meson operators, the multiple energy levels associated with meson-meson levels which would be degenerate in the non-interacting limit are extracted reliably. The number of energy levels in each spectrum is found to be equal to the number of expected non-interacting meson-meson levels in the energy region considered and the majority of energies lie close to the non-interacting levels. Therefore, there is no strong indication for any bound state or narrow resonance in the channels we study.

Total and Jet Blandford-Znajek Power in Presence of Accretion Disk

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: A rotating black hole probably powers ultrarelativistic jets in gamma-ray bursts, relativistic jets from some active galactic nuclei, and jets from some black hole x-ray binaries. Prior estimates of the power output of a black hole have assumed an infinitely thin disk, a magnetic field based upon a slowly rotating black hole, and have not self-consistently determined the geometry or magnitude of the magnetic field for a realistic accretion disk. We provide useful formulae for the total and jet Blandford-Znajek (BZ) power and efficiency as determined self-consistently from general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic numerical models. Of all jet mechanisms, we suggest that only the BZ mechanism is able to produce an ultrarelativistic jet.

Robust Truss Topology Optimization via Semidefinite Programming with Complementarity Constraints: A Difference-of-Convex Programming Approach
Creators: name: Kanno, Yoshihiro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The robust truss topology optimization against the uncertain static external load can be formulated as mixed-integer semidefinite programming. Although a global optimal solution can be computed with a branch-and-bound method, it is very time-consuming. This paper presents an alternative formulation, semidefinite programming with complementarity constraints, and proposes an efficient heuristic. The proposed method is based upon the convex-concave procedure for DC (difference-of-convex) programming. It is shown that the method can often find a practically reasonable truss design within the computational cost of solving some dozen of convex optimization subproblems.

description: With a multi-stage collimation system and magnetic iron spoilers in the tunnel, the background particle fluxes on the ILC detector can be substantially reduced. At the same time, beam-halo interactions with collimators and protective masks in the beam delivery system create fluxes of muons and other secondary particles which can still exceed the tolerable levels for some of the ILC sub-detectors. Results of modeling of such backgrounds in comparison to those from the e+ e- interactions are presented in this paper for the SiD detector.

description: Source-free unsupervised domain adaptation (SFUDA) aims to enable the utilization of a pre-trained source model in an unlabeled target domain without access to source data. Self-training is a way to solve SFUDA, where confident target samples are iteratively selected as pseudo-labeled samples to guide target model learning. However, prior heuristic noisy pseudo-label filtering methods all involve introducing extra models, which are sensitive to model assumptions and may introduce additional errors or mislabeling. In this work, we propose a method called Uncertainty-aware Pseudo-label-filtering Adaptation (UPA) to efficiently address this issue in a coarse-to-fine manner. Specially, we first introduce a sample selection module named Adaptive Pseudo-label Selection (APS), which is responsible for filtering noisy pseudo labels. The APS utilizes a simple sample uncertainty estimation method by aggregating knowledge from neighboring samples and confident samples are selected as clean pseudo-labeled. Additionally, we incorporate Class-Aware Contrastive Learning (CACL) to mitigate the memorization of pseudo-label noise by learning robust pair-wise representation supervised by pseudo labels. Through extensive experiments conducted on three widely used benchmarks, we demonstrate that our proposed method achieves competitive performance on par with state-of-the-art SFUDA methods.

A reinterpretation of certain aspects of the late quaternary glacial history of little Cottonwood Canyon, Wasatch Mountains, Utah
Creators: name: McCoy, William Dennis
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Holocene and late Pleistocene deposits in the cirques and at the mouths of Little Cottonwood and Bells Canyons are reexamined. Stratigraphy, radiocarbon dating, lichenometry, and relative age dating methods provide evidence for a new age interpretation of glacier and rock glacier deposits. Of the relative age dating methods, boulder-surface microrelief is particularly useful. Moraines and rock glaciers in the cirques are reinterpreted as being generally older than they were thought to be by previous workers. Most deposits mapped earlier as late Neoglacial are mapped here as early Neoglacial in age. Many deposits formerly thought to be early Neoglacial are considered to be of pre-Neoglacial age in this report. A Holocene pollen diagram from Albion Basin Bog is presented. The youngest moraines at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon and correlative moraines at the mouth of Bells Canyon, interpreted by some workers as early Wisconsin deposits, are shown to be late Wisconsin in age (between 20,000 and 27,000 B.P.). This glaciation was correlative with the late Wisconsin rise of Lake Bonneville that overflowed at Red Rock Pass, Idaho, into the Snake River drainage. Stratigraphic relationships near the mouth of Bells Canyon provide evidence for an earlier, perhaps Illinoisan, glaciation that was also correlative with a high stage of Lake Bonneville.

A Small Molecule Based Approach to Study Mammary Gland Biology Reveals New Mechanistic Insights on How Environmental Toxins Disrupt Mammary Function
Creators: name: Basham, Kaitlin J.
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2019

description: Through the production of milk, the mammary gland provides nutritional and immunological protection for newborns. However, lactation is required for only short periods of time in the adult animal, which allows the mammary gland to develop through a series of distinct stages. During embryogenesis and puberty, the gland establishes an extensive network of epithelial ducts, which then undergo widespread branching and differentiation during pregnancy to maximize milk production. Throughout this process, the mammary gland relies on coordination of major cellular processes, including proliferation, invasion, and differentiation. As many of these pathways become aberrantly regulated during breast cancer, understanding mechanisms that regulate mammary gland development has important disease implications. Although previous studies have characterized several systemic hormones and local factors central to mammary development, little is known about the downstream mediators of these pathways. To identify new factors, we established a three-dimensional model of mammary branching morphogenesis using primary mammary epithelial cells (MECs) stimulated with fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2). We performed a forward chemical genetic screen to identify compounds that modulate FGF2-induced branching and discovered a novel bis-aryloxadiazole, called 1023, which completely blocks branching through activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). iv Using 1023 as a molecular probe, we found AHR activation blocks mammary branching through upregulation of desmosomal adhesion. These results identified desmosomes as a novel target of AHR signaling and suggested desmosomes are downregulated to facilitate mammary branching. Supporting this hypothesis, we found desmosomes absent in the mammary glands of pregnant mice in a cell-type specific manner. These results suggest desmosomes control initiation of mammary branching, and may also be targeted during breast cancer to promote cellular invasion. We also investigated mechanisms of AHR activation and the impact of AHR on mammary differentiation. We performed a structure activity relationship study of 1023 and defined moieties of the molecule critical for AHR stimulation. Moreover, we investigated the effect of AHR on mammary differentiation and elucidated a transcriptional mechanism through which the AHR pathway directly blocks lactation in MECs. Since several environmental pollutants stimulate AHR, these studies provide mechanistic insight for how toxins impair mammary function.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: We theoretically study the lattice relaxation in the twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) and its effect on the electronic band structure. We develop an effective continuum theory to describe the lattice relaxation in general TBGs and obtain the optimized structure to minimize the total energy. At small rotation angles $< 2^{\circ}$, in particular, we find that the relaxed lattice drastically reduces the area of AA-stacking region, and form a triangular domain structure with alternating AB and BA stacking regions. We then investigate the effect of the domain formation on the electronic band structure. The most notable change from the non-relaxed model is that an energy gap up to 20meV opens at the superlattice subband edges on the electron and hole sides. We also find that the lattice relaxation significantly enhances the Fermi velocity, which was strongly suppressed in the non-relaxed model.

description: Facial sketches are both a concise way of showing the identity of a person and a means to express artistic intention. While a few techniques have recently emerged that allow sketches to be extracted in different styles, they typically rely on a large amount of data that is difficult to obtain. Here, we propose StyleSketch, a method for extracting high-resolution stylized sketches from a face image. Using the rich semantics of the deep features from a pretrained StyleGAN, we are able to train a sketch generator with 16 pairs of face and the corresponding sketch images. The sketch generator utilizes part-based losses with two-stage learning for fast convergence during training for high-quality sketch extraction. Through a set of comparisons, we show that StyleSketch outperforms existing state-of-the-art sketch extraction methods and few-shot image adaptation methods for the task of extracting high-resolution abstract face sketches. We further demonstrate the versatility of StyleSketch by extending its use to other domains and explore the possibility of semantic editing.

A Novel Multilevel Safety-Factor Centered Framework for Optimized Utilization of Research Reactors

description: Nuclear research reactors are found throughout the world and have been crucial in the advancement of scientific and engineering discoveries but the majority are approaching operational ages that require a renewed focus on safely maintaining and optimizing their use. A novel multilevel safety-factors-centered framework for the optimization and utilization of aging research reactors has been developed that can be implemented at any research reactor facility. The framework consists of an optimization tool for neutron activation analysis (NAA) and irradiation experiments, an optimization system, DACOS, for optimizing reactor operation parameters, and the overall Engineering Safety Culture ideology. The selection of NAA experimental parameters for irradiation in research reactors is essential in lowering the radiation dose to personnel while also minimizing the generation of excessive radioactive products. This comes in competition with assuring that enough activity of an examined sample is produced in order to be able to measure targeted trace nuclei. This is accomplished by coupling a NAA precalculator tool, PyNIC, with the optimization tool, DAKOTA, creating the PyNIC-DAKOTA tool system. This PyNIC-DAKOTA tool system is used to determine the optimal parameters for NAA. The PyNIC-DAKOTA tool system is benchmarked with several examples using the University of Utah TRIGA Reactor (UUTR). The PyNIC-DAKOTA tool system shows expected agreement with the actual NAA experiments. DACOS is a newly developed computational optimization system that merges well-known neutron transport code AGENT and well-known optimization tool DAKOTA. The DACOS can be applied to any reactor configuration for the purpose of optimizing its operation parameters such as but not limited to determining the optimal fuel composition and spatial distribution, amount and position of reflectors and neutron absorbing materials to achieve a specified neutron flux at a given location in the reactor or reactor power level. DACOS demonstrations of application are given for modeling of the UUTR. All of the research reactor optimizations and improvements are housed under the umbrella of a newly formed concept of Engineering Safety Culture and the workflow process that it encompasses. This new ideology is presented with illustrative examples of its implementation and resulting benefits.

description: The form factor bootstrap approach allows to construct the space of local fields in the massive restricted sine-Gordon model. This space has to be isomorphic to that of the corresponding minimal model of conformal field theory. We describe the subspaces which correspond to the Verma modules of primary fields in terms of the commutative algebra of local integrals of motion and of a fermion (Neveu-Schwarz or Ramond depending on the particular primary field). The description of null-vectors relies on the relation between form factors and deformed hyper-elliptic integrals. The null-vectors correspond to the deformed exact forms and to the deformed Riemann bilinear identity. In the operator language, the null-vectors are created by the action of two operators $\CQ$ (linear in the fermion) and $\CC$ (quadratic in the fermion). We show that by factorizing out the null-vectors one gets the space of operators with the correct character. In the classical limit, using the operators $\CQ$ and $\CC$ we obtain a new, very compact, description of the KdV hierarchy. We also discuss a beautiful relation with the method of Whitham.

description: The indiscriminate use of antibiotics and the emergence of resistant microorganisms have become a major challenge for the food industry. The purpose of this work was to microencapsulate the bacteriophage UFV-AREG1 in a calcium alginate matrix using microfluidic devices and to study the viability and efficiency of retention. The microcapsules were added to gel of propylene glycol for use as an antimicrobial in the food industry. The technique showed the number of the phage encapsulation, yielding drops with an average 100-250 $μ$m of diameter, 82.1 $\pm$ 2% retention efficiency and stability in the gel matrix for 21 days. The gel added to the microencapsulated phage showed efficiency (not detectable on the surface) in reducing bacterial contamination on the surface at a similar level to antimicrobial chemicals (alcohol 70%). Therefore, it was possible to microencapsulate bacteriophages in alginate-Ca and apply the microcapsules in gels for use as sanitizers in the food industry.

description: We analyzed the security of the multiparty quantum secret sharing (MQSS) protocol recently proposed by Zhang, Li and Man [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{71}, 044301 (2005)] and found that this protocol is secure for any other eavesdropper except for the agent Bob who prepares the quantum signals as he can attack the quantum communication with a Trojan horse. That is, Bob replaces the single-photon signal with a multi-photon one and the other agent Charlie cannot find this cheating as she does not measure the photons before they runs back from the boss Alice, which reveals that this MQSS protocol is not secure for Bob. Finally, we present a possible improvement of the MQSS protocol security with two single-photon measurements and six unitary operations.

description: Recent experiments using the quantum dot coupled to the topological superconducting nanowire [M.T. Deng et al., Science 354, 1557 (2016)}] revealed that zero-energy bound state coalesces from the Andreev bound states. Such quasiparticle states, present in the quantum dot, can be controlled by the magnetic and electrostatic means. We use microscopic model of the quantum-dot--nanowire structure to reproduce the experimental results, applying the Bogoliubov--de~Gennes technique. This is done by studying the gate voltage dependence of the various types of bound states and mutual influence between them. We show that the zero energy bound states can emerge from the Andreev bound states in topologically trivial phase and can be controlled using various means. In non-trivial topological phase we show the possible resonance between this zero energy levels with Majorana bound states. We discuss and explain this phenomena as a result of dominant spin character of discussed bound states. Presented results can be applied in experimental studies by using the proposed nanodevice.

description: Image segmentation is the foundation of several computer vision tasks, where pixel-wise knowledge is a prerequisite for achieving the desired target. Deep learning has shown promising performance in supervised image segmentation. However, supervised segmentation algorithms require a massive amount of data annotated at a pixel level, thus limiting their applicability and scalability. Therefore, there is a need to invest in unsupervised learning for segmentation. This work presents an improved version of an unsupervised Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based algorithm that uses a constant weight factor to balance between the segmentation criteria of feature similarity and spatial continuity, and it requires continuous manual adjustment of parameters depending on the degree of detail in the image and the dataset. In contrast, we propose a novel dynamic weighting scheme that leads to a flexible update of the parameters and an automatic tuning of the balancing weight between the two criteria above to bring out the details in the images in a genuinely unsupervised manner. We present quantitative and qualitative results on four datasets, which show that the proposed scheme outperforms the current unsupervised segmentation approaches without requiring manual adjustment.

On the synchrotron spectrum of GRB prompt emission

description: The prompt emission spectrum of Gamma-ray bursts (GRB) is characterized by a smoothly joint broken power-law spectrum known as the Band function. The typical low-energy photon index is $\sim -1$, which poses challenge to the standard synchrotron radiation models. We investigate the electron energy spectrum as a result of the interplay among adiabatic stochastic acceleration (ASA), particle injection, and synchrotron cooling. In the ASA-dominated low-energy range, ASA enables an efficient hardening of the injected energy spectrum to approach a spectral index $-1$. In the synchrotron cooling-dominated high-energy range, the injected high-energy electrons undergo fast synchrotron cooling and have a softer photon spectrum. With the energy range of the injected electrons broadly covering both the ASA- and synchrotron cooling-dominated ranges, the resulting photon number spectrum has the low- and high-energy indices as $α_s \sim -1$ and $β_s \sim -p/2-1$, respectively. The break energy is of the order of $\sim 100 $ keV, depending on the turbulence properties.

description: This work describes new perturbative solutions to the classical, four-dimensional Kerr--Newman dilaton black hole field equations. Our solutions do not require the black hole to be slowly rotating. The unperturbed solution is taken to be the ordinary Kerr solution, and the perturbation parameter is effectively the square of the charge-to-mass ratio $(Q/M)^2$ of the Kerr--Newman black hole. We have uncovered a new, exact conjugation (mirror) symmetry for the theory, which maps the small coupling sector to the strong coupling sector ($ϕ\to -ϕ$). We also calculate the gyromagnetic ratio of the black hole.

description: Lightweight ciphers are the form of encryption that strictly limited to devices such as tags, RFID, wireless sensor networks applications. Low-resource devices has many limitations in power, energy and memory. In this work, the lightweight block ciphers is implemented on the Atmega128 microprocessor and the results of the energy perspectives and memory were assessed. The results of the evaluation show that the SPECK(64,96) cipher has been the best value of the perspective of energy and is appropriate for wireless sensor networks with the main requirement of energy. If the measure is memory usage, the TWINE-80 is the most appropriate implemented lightweight ciphers on the Atmega128 microprocessor. The SPECK(64,96) cipher is in third place of the perspective of consumer memory. In other side, TWINE-80 cipher is In the second place of the perspective of energy. SPECK(64,96) and TWINE-80 ciphers are the most appropriate for wireless sensor networks.

Know the Planet, Know the Star: Precise Stellar Densities from Kepler Transit Light Curves

description: The properties of a transiting planet's host star are written in its transit light curve. The light curve can reveal the stellar density and the limb darkening profile in addition to the characteristics of the planet and its orbit. For planets with strong prior constraints on orbital eccentricity, we may measure these stellar properties directly from the light curve; this method promises to aid greatly in the characterization of transiting planet host stars targeted by the upcoming NASA TESS mission and any long-period, singly-transiting planets discovered in the same systems. Using Bayesian inference, we fit a transit model, including a nonlinear limb darkening law, to 66 Kepler transiting planet hosts to measure their stellar properties. We present posterior distributions of stellar density, limb-darkening coefficients, and other system parameters for these stars. We measure densities to within 5% for the majority of our target stars, with the dominant precision-limiting factor being the signal-to-noise ratio of the transits. 95 % of our measured stellar densities are in 3-sigma or better agreement with previously published literature values. We make posterior distributions for all of our target KOIs available for online download.
