COMMENT
Gymnostomum calcareum var. gracillimum Besch. nom. nud. was reported by Bescherelle (1882) and Jelenc (1955a) from Alger. According to Ros et al. (2013), the identity of this name seems not to have been revised since. It is not a synonym of Hymenostylium gracillimum (Nees & Hornsch.) Köckinger & Jan Kučera.

description: A possible way to study the reionization of cosmic hydrogen is by observing the large ionized regions (bubbles) around bright individual sources, e.g., quasars, using the redshifted 21 cm signal. It has already been shown that matched filter-based methods are not only able to detect the weak 21 cm signal from these bubbles but also aid in constraining their properties. In this work, we extend the previous studies to develop a rigorous Bayesian framework to explore the possibility of constraining the parameters that characterize the bubbles. To check the accuracy with which we can recover the bubble parameters, we apply our method on mock observations appropriate for the upcoming SKA1-low. For a region of size $\gtrsim 50$ cMpc around a typical quasar at redshift 7, we find that $\approx 20$ h of integration with SKA1-low will be able to constrain the size and location of the bubbles, as well as the difference in the neutral hydrogen fraction inside and outside the bubble, with $\lesssim 10\%$ precision. The recovery of the parameters are more precise and the SNR of the detected signal is higher when the bubble sizes are larger and their shapes are close to spherical. Our method can be useful in identifying regions in the observed field which contain large ionized regions and hence are interesting for following up with deeper integration times.

Resonant dipole-dipole interaction in the presence of dispersing and absorbing surroundings

description: Within the framework of quantization of the macroscopic electromagnetic field, equations of motion and an effective Hamiltonian for treating both the resonant dipole-dipole interaction between two-level atoms and the resonant atom-field interaction are derived, which can suitably be used for studying the influence of arbitrary dispersing and absorbing material surroundings on these interactions. The theory is applied to the study of the transient behavior of two atoms that initially share a single excitation, with special emphasis on the role of the two competing processes of virtual and real photon exchange in the energy transfer between the atoms. In particular, it is shown that for weak atom-field interaction there is a time window, where the energy transfer follows a rate regime of the type obtained by ordinary second-order perturbation theory. Finally, the resonant dipole-dipole interaction is shown to give rise to a doublet spectrum of the emitted light for weak atom-field interaction and a triplet spectrum for strong atom-field interaction.

description: We investigate how T-duality and solving the boundary conditions of the open bosonic string are related. We start by considering the T-dualization of the open string moving in the constant background. We take that the coordinates of the initial theory satisfy either Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions. It follows that the coordinates of T-dual theory satisfy exactly the opposite set of boundary conditions. We treat the boundary conditions of both theories as constraints, and apply the Dirac procedure to them, which results in forming $σ$-dependent constraints. We solve these constraints and obtain the effective theories for the solution. We show that the effective closed string theories are also T-dual.

description: It’s a salient observation in the literature that hedgers’ net short futures positions for agricultural commodities, as reported in the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Disaggregated Commitment of Traders reports (DCOT), correlate strongly with futures prices. However, the DCOT data limits researchers’ ability to discern what influences producers’ hedging decisions from other activities such as storage hedges and spread trades. This is because the DCOT data aggregates open positions of all active contracts. This paper addresses this issue by examining the potential economic stimuli of corn producers’ forward contracting decisions before harvest using a unique data set of forward contracts between producers and large grain and farm supply cooperative over a five-year period. We find that producers forward price more of their crops when the futures price is trending up, and they are reluctant to hedge when the futures price is falling. We show that the producer level hedging data and the DCOT hedge series respond in a remarkably similar manner to economic stimuli despite this dissimilarity.

description: Let $(A,σ)$ be a central simple algebra with an orthogonal involution. It is well-known that $O(A,σ)$ contains elements of reduced norm $-1$ if and only if the Brauer class of $A$ is trivial. We generalize this statement to Azumaya algebras with orthogonal involution over semilocal rings, and show that the "if" part fails if one allows the base ring to be arbitrary.

description: From the requirement of continuous matching of bulk metric around the point of brane collision we derive a conservation law for collisions of p-branes in (p+2)-dimensional space-time. This conservation law relates energy densities on the branes before and after the collision. Using this conservation law we are able to calculate the amount of matter produced in the collision of orbifold-fixed brane with a bulk brane in the ``ekpyrotic/pyrotechnic type'' models of brane cosmologies.

description: This paper attempts to provide an understanding of the widely-documented retirement-consumption puzzle from the perspective of food consumption. Exploiting urban China's "forced" retirement system, we use the legal retirement age cut-off as an instrumental variable for one's retirement status to estimate the causal impacts of retirement on four major aspects of food consumption for males aged 50-70 in urban China: food expenditure, time spent on food acquisition, the quantity, and quality of food consumed. Our fuzzy regression-discontinuity analysis of the China Health and Nutrition Survey data finds that, consistent with the retirement-consumption puzzle, retirement reduces individuals' total food expenditure by 49%. However, retirement barely changes the quantity of food consumption measured by total calorie intakes. Serving to reconcile the differential retirement impacts on elderly males' food expenditure and consumption, retirees are found to substitute their time for money in food acquisition upon retirement. However, they have to sacrifice some quality for quantity of food consumption while smoothing the latter. Given the criteria provided by the Chinese Nutrition Association, retirement negatively affects retirees' diet balance. They consume significantly less food with animal origins (and thus less fat and protein) and more grains (and thus more carbohydrate) upon retirement.

description: We present a framework for data-driven robotics that makes use of a large dataset of recorded robot experience and scales to several tasks using learned reward functions. We show how to apply this framework to accomplish three different object manipulation tasks on a real robot platform. Given demonstrations of a task together with task-agnostic recorded experience, we use a special form of human annotation as supervision to learn a reward function, which enables us to deal with real-world tasks where the reward signal cannot be acquired directly. Learned rewards are used in combination with a large dataset of experience from different tasks to learn a robot policy offline using batch RL. We show that using our approach it is possible to train agents to perform a variety of challenging manipulation tasks including stacking rigid objects and handling cloth.

We give analytic expressions for the entanglement generating capacity and entanglement-assisted one-way classical communication capacity of interactions, and show that these quantities are additive, so that the asymptotic capacities equal the corresponding 1-shot capacities. We give general bounds on other capacities, discuss some examples, and conclude with some open questions.

description: We present results from a search for strong H2 absorption systems proximate to quasars (zabs~zem) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 14. The search is based on the Lyman-Werner band signature of damped H2 absorption lines without any prior on the associated metal or neutral hydrogen content. This has resulted in the detection of 81 systems with log N(H2)~19-20 located within a few thousand km/s from the quasar. Compared to a control sample of intervening systems, this implies an excess of proximate H2 systems by about a factor of 4 to 5. The incidence of H2 systems increases steeply with decreasing relative velocity, reaching an order of magnitude higher than expected from intervening statistics at Delta_v<1000 km/s. The most striking feature of the proximate systems compared to the intervening ones is the presence of Ly-alpha emission in the core of the associated damped HI absorption line in about half of the sample. This puts constraints on the relative projected sizes of the absorbing clouds to those of the quasar line emitting regions. Using the SDSS spectra, we estimate the HI, metal and dust content of the systems, which are found to have typical metallicities of one tenth Solar, albeit with a large spread among individual systems. We observe trends between the fraction of leaking Ly-alpha emission and the relative absorber-quasar velocity as well as with the excitation of several metal species, similar to what has been seen in metal-selected proximate DLAs. With the help of theoretical HI-H2 transition relations, we show that the presence of H2 helps to break the degeneracy between density and strength of the UV field as main sources of excitation and hence provides unique constraints on the possible origin and location of the absorbing clouds. We suggest that most of these systems originate from galaxies in the quasar group. [truncated]

description: We report the detection of a thick disk in the edge-on, low surface brightness (LSB), late-type spiral ESO 342-G017, based on ultra-deep images in the V and R bands obtained with the VLT Test Camera during Science Verification on UT1. All steps in the reduction procedure are fully described, which, together with an extensive analysis of systematic and statistic uncertainties, has resulted in surface brightness photometry that is reliable for the detection of faint extended structure to a level of V = 27.5 and R = 28.5 mag/square arcsec. The faint light apparent in these deep images is well-modeled by a thick exponential disk with an intrinsic scale height about 2.5 times that of the thin disk, and a comparable or somewhat larger scale length. Deprojection including the effects of inclination and convolution with the PSF allow us to estimate that the thick disk contributes 20-40% of the total (old) stellar disk luminosity of ESO 342-G017. To our knowledge, this is the first detection of a thick disk in an LSB galaxy, which are generally thought to be rather unevolved compared to higher surface brightness galaxies.

description: Doped Bi$_2$Se$_3$ is proposed to be a nematic superconductor originating from unusual inter-orbital pairing. We classify all induced superconducting pair correlations in Bi$_2$Se$_3$ and discover that intra-orbital odd-frequency pairing dominates over a significant range of frequencies. Moreover, we explore the contributions of even- and odd-frequency pairing to the Meissner effect, including separating intra- and inter-band processes in the response function. Contrary to expectations, and due to inter-band contributions, we find a diamagnetic odd-frequency Meissner effect.

description: Decision Trees (DTs) constitute one of the major highly non-linear AI models, valued, e.g., for their efficiency on tabular data. Learning accurate DTs is, however, complicated, especially for oblique DTs, and does take a significant training time. Further, DTs suffer from overfitting, e.g., they proverbially "do not generalize" in regression tasks. Recently, some works proposed ways to make (oblique) DTs differentiable. This enables highly efficient gradient-descent algorithms to be used to learn DTs. It also enables generalizing capabilities by learning regressors at the leaves simultaneously with the decisions in the tree. Prior approaches to making DTs differentiable rely either on probabilistic approximations at the tree's internal nodes (soft DTs) or on approximations in gradient computation at the internal node (quantized gradient descent). In this work, we propose DTSemNet, a novel semantically equivalent and invertible encoding for (hard, oblique) DTs as Neural Networks (NNs), that uses standard vanilla gradient descent. Experiments across various classification and regression benchmarks show that oblique DTs learned using DTSemNet are more accurate than oblique DTs of similar size learned using state-of-the-art techniques. Further, DT training time is significantly reduced. We also experimentally demonstrate that DTSemNet can learn DT policies as efficiently as NN policies in the Reinforcement Learning (RL) setup with physical inputs (dimensions $\leq32$). The code is available at https://github.com/CPS-research-group/dtsemnet.

Moreover, we investigate the Bose-Einstein correlation (BEC) formulas based on these distributions and analyze the BEC data using the parameters obtained by analysis of MDs. From these analyses it can be inferred that the D-GGL formula performs as effectively as the D-NBD. Moreover, our results show that the parameters estimated in MD are related to those contained in the BEC formula.

The key to that problem is that the fuzziness of a variable can manifest itself only to the extent that less fuzzy variables exist. Inasmuch as there is nothing less fuzzy than the metric, this argues against a quantum-gravity phenomenology and suggests that a quantum theory of gravity is something of a contradiction in terms - a theory that would make it possible to investigate the physics on scales that do not exist, or to study the physical consequences of a fuzziness that has no physical consequences, other than providing a natural cutoff for the quantum field theories of particle physics.

description: In this paper, we delve into the intricate thermodynamic topology of quantum-corrected Anti-de Sitter-Reissner-Nordstrm (AdS-RN) black hole within the framework of Kiselev spacetime. By employing the generalized off-shell Helmholtz free energy approach, we meticulously compute the thermodynamic topology of these selected black holes. Furthermore, we establish their topological classifications. Our findings reveal that quantum correction terms influence the topological charges of black holes in Kiselev spacetime, leading to novel insights into topological classifications. Our research findings elucidate that, in contrast to the scenario in which $ω=0$ and $a=0.7$ with total topological charge $W=0$ and $ω=-4/3$ with total topological charge $W=-1$, in other cases, the total topological charge for the black hole under consideration predominantly stabilizes at +1. This stabilization occurs with the significant influence of the parameters a, c, and $ω$ on the number of topological charges. Specifically, when $ω$ assumes the values of $ω=-1/3$, $ω=-2/3$ , $ω=-1$, the total topological charge consistently be to W = +1.

description: Quantum error correction codes are usually designed to correct errors regardless of their physical origins. In large-scale devices, this is an essential feature. In smaller-scale devices, however, the main error sources are often understood, and this knowledge could be exploited for more efficient error correction. Optimizing the quantum error correction protocol is therefore a promising strategy in smaller devices. Typically, this involves tailoring the protocol to a given decoherence channel by solving an appropriate optimization problem. Here we introduce a new optimization-based approach, which maximizes the robustness to faults in the recovery. Our approach is inspired by recent experiments, where such faults have been a significant source of logical errors. We illustrate this approach with a three-qubit model, and show how near-term experiments could benefit from more robust quantum error correction protocols.

COMMENT
Doubtfully present in Algeria. The presence of this Circumpolar Boreal-montane species (Blockeel et al. 2014b) in Algeria is unlikely in the reported locality. Given the challenges in locating these collections, this species could only be retained in the Algerian catalogue upon the discovery of new specimens.

description: The paper contributes towards the modeling, identification, and control of model jet engines. We propose a nonlinear, second order model in order to capture the model jet engines governing dynamics. The model structure is identified by applying sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics, and then the parameters of the model are found via gray-box identification procedures. Once the model has been identified, we approached the control of the model jet engine by designing two control laws. The first one is based on the classical Feedback Linearization technique while the second one on the Sliding Mode control. The overall methodology has been verified by modeling, identifying and controlling two model jet engines, i.e. P100-RX and P220-RXi developed by JetCat, which provide a maximum thrust of 100 N and 220 N, respectively.

description: Positive operator valued measures (POVMs) are presented that allow an unknown pure state of a spin-1 particle to be determined with optimal fidelity when 2 to 5 copies of that state are available. Optimal POVMs are also presented for a spin-3/2 particle when 2 or 3 copies of the unknown state are available. Although these POVMs are optimal they are not always minimal, indicating that there is room for improvement.

description: The discovery of the stop - the Supersymmetric partner of the top quark - is a key goal of the physics program enabled by the Large Hadron Collider. Although much of the accessible parameter space has already been probed, all current searches assume the top mass is known. This is relevant for the "stealth stop" regime, which is characterized by decay kinematics that force the final state top quark off its mass shell; such decays would contaminate the top mass measurements. We investigate the resulting bias imparted to the template method based ATLAS approach. A careful recasting of these results shows that effect can be as large as 2.0 GeV, comparable to the current quoted uncertainty on the top mass. Thus, a robust exploration of the stealth stop splinter requires the simultaneous consideration of the impact on the top mass. Additionally, we explore the robustness of the template technique, and point out a simple strategy for improving the methodology implemented for the semi-leptonic channel.

description: $\textbf{Purpose:}$ To develop a new method for free-breathing 3D extracellular volume (ECV) mapping of the whole heart at 3T. $\textbf{Methods:}$ A free-breathing 3D cardiac ECV mapping method was developed at 3T. T1 mapping was performed before and after contrast agent injection using a free-breathing ECG-gated inversion-recovery sequence with spoiled gradient echo readout. A linear tangent space alignment (LTSA) model-based method was used to reconstruct high-frame-rate dynamic images from (k,t)-space data sparsely sampled along a random stack-of-stars trajectory. Joint T1 and transmit B1 estimation was performed voxel-by-voxel for pre- and post-contrast T1 mapping. To account for the time-varying T1 after contrast agent injection, a linearly time-varying T1 model was introduced for post-contrast T1 mapping. ECV maps were generated by aligning pre- and post-contrast T1 maps through affine transformation. $\textbf{Results:}$ The feasibility of the proposed method was demonstrated using in vivo studies with six healthy volunteers at 3T. We obtained 3D ECV maps at a spatial resolution of 1.9$\times$1.9$\times$4.5 $mm^{3}$ and a FOV of 308$\times$308$\times$144 $mm^{3}$, with a scan time of 10.1$\pm$1.4 and 10.6$\pm$1.6 min before and after contrast agent injection, respectively. The ECV maps and the pre- and post-contrast T1 maps obtained by the proposed method were in good agreement with the 2D MOLLI method both qualitatively and quantitatively. $\textbf{Conclusion:}$ The proposed method allows for free-breathing 3D ECV mapping of the whole heart within a practically feasible imaging time. The estimated ECV values from the proposed method were comparable to those from the existing method. $\textbf{Keywords:}$ cardiac extracellular volume (ECV) mapping, cardiac T1 mapping, linear tangent space alignment (LTSA), manifold learning

description: seed (MOS) biopolymers and bentonite clay separately have their own heavy metal removal efficiency. However, it is not sufficient for drinking water treatment because of the stringent standards adopted by BIS/WHO. In this study, coagulation with MOS biopolymer and adsorption through bentonite column help in effective removal of heavy metals from the aqueous systems with reduced coagulant dosage at optimum pH conditions. The maximum removal efficiencies of Cd, Cr and Pb are 98.71% at pH 7–8, 99.84% at pH 2–3 and 99.95% at pH 6–7, respectively. The scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer analysis of the sludges of Moringa oleifera and bentonite showed the presence of the metal ions.

description: The muon anomalous $g$ value, $a_μ=(g-2)/2$, is calculated up to one-loop level in noncommutative QED. We argue that relativistic muon in E821 experiment nearly always stays at the lowest Landau level. So that spatial coordinates of muon do not commute each other. Using parameters of E821 experiment, $B=14.5$KG and muon energy 3.09GeV/c, we obtain the noncommutativity correction to $a_μ$ is about $1.57\times 10^{-9}$, which significantly makes standard model prediction close to experiment.
