description: As of late an AI based free programming device has made it simple to make authentic face swaps in recordings that leaves barely any hints of control, in what are known as "deepfake" recordings. Situations where these genuine istic counterfeit recordings are utilized to make political pain, extort somebody or phony fear based oppression occasions are effectively imagined. This paper proposes a transient mindful pipeline to automat-ically recognize deepfake recordings. Our framework utilizes a convolutional neural system (CNN) to remove outline level highlights. These highlights are then used to prepare a repetitive neural net-work (RNN) that figures out how to characterize if a video has been sub-ject to control or not. We assess our technique against a huge arrangement of deepfake recordings gathered from different video sites. We show how our framework can accomplish aggressive outcomes in this assignment while utilizing a basic design.

description: A search for new particles (X) that decay to electron or muon pairs has been performed using approximately 200 pb**(-1) of pbarp collision data at sqrt(s)=1.96 TeV collected by the CDF II experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron. Limits on sigma(ppbar -> X)*BR(X -> ll) are presented as a function of dilepton invariant mass m(ll) > 150 GeV/c**2, for different spin hypotheses (0, 1, or 2). The limits are approximately 25 fb for m(ll) > 600 GeV/c**2. Lower mass bounds for X from representative models beyond the Standard Model including heavy neutral gauge bosons are presented.

description: The United States Bureau of Reclamation has been exploring the use of water price as a tool for promoting water conservation. Raising water rates is an attractive means of reducing diversions from surface water systems supplied by the USBR. Rising water rates may promote ground water substitution. When irrigators have access to both surface and ground water, changes in the relative cost of each water source can encourage movement from one source to another. Ground water substitution will occur if the marginal cost of ground water becomes less than the price of surface water from the USBR. In this situation, surface water will be consumed until the point at which groundwater becomes cheaper, and then the irrigator will switch to groundwater. As a result, reductions in surface water diversions (and hence surface water conservation) will always be limited by the marginal costs of groundwater.

description: For determining product demand and making strategic marketing decisions, it is essential to know what consumers want and need. Consumer behavior has thus been extensively examined using market analysis methods such as surveys and focus groups. However, these methods have a variety of drawbacks because they rely on misleading and manipulated replies. On the other hand, neuromarketing uses physiological and neural signals to study customers' choices, desires, and motivations. Using neurophysiological measures with devices such as eye trackers, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalogram (EEG), heart rate variability (HRV), and galvanic skin response (GSR), researchers can collect sensitive measures of consumers' reactions to different stimuli and reveal confidential information about the consumer experience without having to ask the consumer directly. It has recently been demonstrated that neuromarketing successfully forecasts customer behavior and product performance. In this study, EEG, eye-tracking, GSR, and HRV measurements are used to determine the influence of product brand and pricing on subjects' product preferences. As part of this study, EEG and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) are used together with GSR and HRV to investigate the effect of pricing on subjects' preferences.

description: We propose a way to observe the chiral magnetic effect in non-centrosymmetric Weyl semimetals under the action of strong electric field, via the non-linear part of their I-V characteristic that is odd in the external magnetic field, or odd-in-magnetic field voltages in electrically open circuits. This effect relies on valley-selective heating in such materials, which in general leads to nonequilibrium valley population imbalances. In the presence of an external magnetic field, such a valley-imbalanced Weyl semimetal will in general develop an electric current along the direction of the magnetic field -- the chiral magnetic effect. We also discuss a specific experimental setup to observe the chiral magnetic effect of hot electrons.

description: Regulations governing animal waste storage are primarily a state-level issue. Protecting water resources from animal waste contamination will depend upon how effective state-level animal waste regulations are in encouraging livestock producers to handle waste appropriately. Survey results from North Dakota indicate beef cattle feeding operations do not always comply with state regulations requiring adoption of manure storage BMP's. This is most likely due to incomplete inspection schedules by the regulatory agency. Statistical results suggest herd size plays a much larger role than regulation in promoting adoption of manure storage BMP's.

description: Starting from the spectrum of Schrödinger operators on $\mathbb{R}^n$, we propose a method to detect critical points of the potential. We argue semi-classically on the basis of a mathematically rigorous version of Gutzwiller's trace formula which expresses spectral statistics in term of classical orbits. A critical point of the potential with zero momentum is an equilibrium of the flow and generates certain singularities in the spectrum. Via sharp spectral estimates, this fluctuation indicates the presence of a critical point and allows to reconstruct partially the local shape of the potential. Some generalizations of this approach are also proposed.\medskip keywords : Semi-classical analysis; Schrödinger operators; Equilibriums in classical mechanics.

description: We present a new analysis of existing optical and ultraviolet spectra of the ONeMg nova V1974 Cygni 1992. Using these data and the photoionization code Cloudy, we have determined the physical parameters and elemental abundances for this nova. Many of the previous studies of this nova have made use of incorrect analyses and hence a new study was required. Our results show that the ejecta are enhanced, relative to solar, in helium, nitrogen, oxygen, neon, magnesium and iron. Carbon was found to be subsolar. We find an ejected mass of ~2x10e-4 solar masses. Our model results fit well with observations taken at IR, radio, sub-millimeter and X-ray wavelengths.

description: The present paper introduces a new model used to study and analyse the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV2) epidemic-reported-data from Spain. This is a Hidden Markov Model whose hidden layer is a regeneration process with Poisson immigration, Po-INAR(1), together with a mechanism that allows the estimation of the under-reporting in non-stationary count time series. A novelty of the model is that the expectation of the innovations in the unobserved process is a time-dependent function defined in such a way that information about the spread of an epidemic, as modelled through a Susceptible-Infectious-Removed dynamical system, is incorporated into the model. In addition, the parameter controlling the intensity of the under-reporting is also made to vary with time to adjust to possible seasonality or trend in the data. Maximum likelihood methods are used to estimate the parameters of the model.

description: A basic result about the dynamics of spinless quantum systems is that the Maryland model exhibits dynamical localization in any dimension. Here we implement mathematical spectral theory and numerical experiments to show that this result does not hold, when the 2-dimensional Maryland model is endowed with spin 1/2 -- hereafter dubbed spin-Maryland (SM) model. Instead, in a family of SM models, tuning the (effective) Planck constant drives dynamical localization{delocalization transitions of topological nature. These transitions are triggered by the self-duality, a symmetry generated by some transformation in the parameter -- the inverse Planck constant -- space. This provides significant insights to new dynamical phenomena such as what occur in the spinful quantum kicked rotor.

description: We report a waveform-selective metasurface that operates at 2.4 GHz band, i.e. one of ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) bands. This structure gives us an additional degree of freedom to control electromagnetic waves and absorbs a particular waveform or pulse width of an incident wave at the same frequency band, while transmitting others. This unique capability is demonstrated using either ideal sinusoidal waves or Wi-Fi signals as a more practical waveform in wireless communications. Especially, this study shows how the waveform-selective metasurface interacts with realistic wireless communication signals from the viewpoint of communication characteristics, such as EVM (Error Vector Magnitude), BER (Bit Error Rate) and phase error. Thus, our study paves the way for extending the concept of waveform selectivity from a fundamental electromagnetic research field to a more realistic wireless communication field to, for instance, mitigate electromagnetic interference occurring at the same frequency band without significantly degrading communication characteristics.

Generalized general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic equations for plasmas of active galactic nuclei in the era of the Event Horizon Telescope

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The generalized general-relativisticmagnetohydrodynamic (generalized GRMHD) equations have been used to study specific relativistic-plasmas phenomena, such as relativistic magnetic reconnection or wave propagation modified by non-ideal MHD effects. However, the "Theta" term in the generalized Ohm law, which expresses the energy exchange between two fluids composing a plasma, has yet to be determined in these equations. In this paper, we determine the "Theta" term based on the generalized relativistic Ohm law itself. This provides closure of the generalized GRMHD equations, yielding a closed system of the equations of relativistic plasma. According to this system of equations, we reveal the characteristic scales of non-ideal MHD phenomena and clarify the applicable condition of the ideal GRMHD equations. We evaluate the characteristic scales of the non-ideal MHD phenomena in the M87* plasma using the Event Horizon Telescope observational data.

description: The study of Be in stars of differing metal content can elucidate the formation mechanisms and the Galactic chemical evolution of Be. We have obtained high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectra of the resonance lines of Be II in eight stars with the high-dispersion spectrograph (HDS) on the Subaru 8.2 m telescope on Mauna Kea. Abundances of Be have been determined through spectrum synthesis. The stars with [Fe/H] values > -1.1 conform to the published general trend of Be vs Fe. We have confirmed the high Be abundance in HD 94028 and have found a similarly high Be abundance in another star, HD 132475, at the same metallicity: [Fe/H] = -1.5. These two stars are 0.5 - 0.6 dex higher in Be than the Be-Fe trend. While that general trend contains the evidence for a Galaxy-wide enrichment in Be and Fe, the higher Be abundances in those two stars indicates local Be enrichments. Possible enrichment mechanisms include hypernovae and multiple supernova explosions contained in a superbubble. The star G 64-37 has [Fe/] = -3.2; we have determined its Be abundance to look for evidence of a Be plateau. It's Be abundance appears to extend the Be-Fe trend to lower Fe abundances without any evidence for a plateau as had been indicated by a high Be abundance in another very metal-poor star, G 64-12. Although these two stars have similar Be abundances within the errors, it could be that their different Be values may be indicating that a Be dispersion exists even at the lowest metallicities.

description: The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 on representative crop and livestock operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2005-2012 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate farming operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: • Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms, and • Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) January 2007 Baseline. The FLIPSIM policy simulation model incorporates the historical risk faced by farmers for prices and production. This report presents the results of the January 2007 Baseline in a risk context using selected simulated probabilities and ranges for annual net cash farm income values. The probability of a farm experiencing negative ending cash reserves and the probability of a farm losing real net worth are included as indicators of the cash flow and equity risks facing farms through the year 2012.

Pair Correlations and Merger Bias

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study analytically the possibility that mergers of haloes are more highly clustered than the general population of haloes of comparable masses. We begin by investigating predictions for merger bias within the extended Press-Schechter formalism and discuss the limitations and ambiguities of this approach. We then postulate that mergers occur whenever two objects form within a (small) fixed distance of each other. We therefore study the clustering of pairs of points for a highly biased population in the linear regime, for the overall mass distribution in the quasilinear regime, and (using the halo model of clustering) in the nonlinear regime. Biasing, quasilinear evolution, and nonlinear clustering all lead to nonzero reduced (or connected) three-point and four-point correlation functions. These higher-order correlation functions can in many cases enhance the clustering of close pairs of points relative to the clustering of individual points. If close pairs are likely to merge, then the clustering of mergers may be enhanced. We discuss implications for the observed clustering of luminous z=3 galaxies and for correlations of active galactic nuclei and galaxy clusters.

description: The Administration has proposed revising the AGI means test for eligibility to farm program payments. The 2002 farm bill excludes producers from farm program payments (CCP, DP, and MLG/LDP) if their average adjusted gross income (AGI) for three preceding years exceeds $2.5 million and less than 75% of their AGI comes from farming, ranching or forestry operations. The revised means test would reduce the AGI cut-off to $200,000 and repeal the 75% exclusion. The purpose of this report is to estimate the impacts of the AGI proposal on average annual government payments and real net worth in 2014 for representative crop farms. The AFPC maintains a data base of 64 representative commercial family farms in major production regions across the United States. The farms represent a full-time, commercial operation that is typical of farms in a particular area. The farmers who participate in the bi-annual farm update interviews are selected by the county agent based on farm size (typical for the area), crop mix and farming practices (typical for the area), and being full-time farmers (not employed off the farm). The farms were constructed with no off-farm income to illustrate the changes in wellbeing due to farm policy changes. To the extent that a farm has off-farm income, the results will be conservative.

description: Under the January 2007 Baseline, 20 of the 64 crop farms are considered in good liquidity condition (less than a 25 percent chance of negative ending cash in 2012). Five crop farms have between a 25 percent and a 50 percent likelihood of negative ending cash. The remaining 39 crop farms have greater than a 50 percent chance of negative ending cash. Additionally, 30 of the 64 crop farms are considered in good equity position (less than a 25 percent chance of decreasing real net worth during the study period). Nine crop farms have between a 25 percent and 50 percent likelihood of losing real net worth, and 25 crop farms have greater than a 50 percent probability of decreasing real net worth. The following discussion provides an overall evaluation by commodity considering both liquidity and equity measures.

description: Motivation: One of the branches of Systems Biology is focused on a deep understanding of underlying regulatory networks through the analysis of the biomolecules oscillations and their interplay. Synthetic Biology exploits gene or/and protein regulatory networks towards the design of oscillatory networks for producing useful compounds. Therefore, at different levels of application and for different purposes, the study of biomolecular oscillations can lead to different clues about the mechanisms underlying living cells. It is known that network-level interactions involve more than one type of biomolecule as well as biological processes operating at multiple omic levels. Combining network/pathway-level information with genetic information it is possible to describe well-understood or unknown bacterial mechanisms and organism-specific dynamics. Results: Network multi-omic integration has led to the discovery of interesting oscillatory signals. Following the methodologies used in signal processing and communication engineering, a new methodology is introduced to identify and quantify the extent of the multi-omic oscillations of the signal. New signal metrics are designed to allow further biotechnological explanations and provide important clues about the oscillatory nature of the pathways and their regulatory circuits. Our algorithms designed for the analysis of multi-omic signals are tested and validated on 11 different bacteria for thousands of multi-omic signals perturbed at the network level by different experimental conditions. Information on the order of genes, codon usage, gene expression, and protein molecular weight is integrated at three different functional levels. Oscillations show interesting evidence that network-level multi-omic signals present a synchronized response to perturbations and evolutionary relations along with taxa.

Using these fully-correlated angular distributions, I propose a set of cuts that can improve the single-top-quark discovery significance by 25%, and the signal to background ratio by a factor of 3 with very little theoretical uncertainty. Up to a subtlety in t-channel single-top-quark production, leading-order matrix elements are shown to be sufficient to reproduce the next-to-leading order correlated distributions.

description: Under the December 2006 Baseline, 25 of the 65 crop farms are considered in good liquidity condition (less than a 25 percent chance of negative ending cash in 2011). Five crop farms have between a 25 percent and a 50 percent likelihood of negative ending cash. The remaining 35 crop farms have greater than a 50 percent chance of negative ending cash. Additionally, 33 of the 65 crop farms are considered in good equity position (less than a 25 percent chance of decreasing real net worth during the study period). Eight crop farms have between a 25 percent and 50 percent likelihood of losing real net worth, and 24 crop farms have greater than a 50 percent probability of decreasing real net worth. The following discussion provides an overall evaluation by commodity considering both liquidity and equity measures.

description: A microphysics-agnostic meta-model of rotational glitches in rotation-powered pulsars is developed, wherein the globally averaged internal stress accumulates as a Brownian process between glitches, and a glitch is triggered once a critical threshold is surmounted. Precise, falsifiable predictions are made regarding long-term event statistics in individual pulsars. For example, the Spearman cross-correlation coefficient between the size of a glitch and the waiting time until the next glitch should exceed 0.25 in all pulsars. Among the six pulsars with the most recorded glitches, PSR J0537$-$6910 and PSR J0835$-$4510 are consistent with the predictions of the meta-model, while PSR J1740$-$3015 and PSR J0631$+$1036 are not. PSR J0534$+$2200 and PSR J1341$-$6220 are only consistent with the meta-model, if there exists an undetected population of small glitches with small waiting times, which we do not resolve. The results are compared with a state-dependent Poisson process, another microphysics-agnostic meta-model in the literature. The results are also applied briefly to recent pulse-to-pulse observations of PSRJ0835$-$4510, which appear to reveal evidence for a negative fluctuation in rotation frequency just prior to the 2016 glitch.

A Loss of Function Mutation in Protein phosphatase 1 Regulatory Subunit INH3 Improves Poor hpat1/3 Fertility and Pollen Tube Growth

description: The MacAlister lab previously found that HYDROXYPROLINE O ARABINOSYLTRANSFERASE 1 and 3 (HPAT1 and HPAT3) were required for full pollen fertility in Arabidopsis thaliana by initiating posttranslational protein modification on cell wall structural proteins (Beuder, et al., 2020). The hpat1 hpat3 double knockout mutants (hpat1/3) showed low male fertility and disruption in pollen tube growth, which led to a large decrease in seed set (the average number of seeds per silique) compared to wild-type (WT) (MacAlister et al., 2016). They noticed that with the hpat1/3 mutation, the pollen tube cell wall would frequently rupture, the pollen tube would sometimes initiate a second point of growth leading to pollen tube branching, and the growth rate of the pollen tubes would be slower. To learn more about how HPATs contributed to pollen tube growth, they looked for suppressor genes involved in the HPAT pathway that affects pollen tube growth and fertility and analyzed the role of each gene and looked for genes that were involved with pollen tube cell wall. Finally, they determined the suppressor was in the gene INHIBITOR3 (INH3), which codes for a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), and has been reported to be required for the embryo development and negative phosphoprotein phosphatase regulation (Zhang, et al., 2008). The suppressor mutation in the gene INH3 was caused by a G to A single-nucleotide substitution, which was predicted to cause an early truncation after amino acid W43. This allele was named inh3-3 because inh3-1 (SALK_0445593) and inh3-2 (SAIL_806_C02) T-DNA insertion alleles had been previously characterized (Takemiya et al., 2009). In order to better understand the mechanism behind inh3-1 and inh3-3 mutations and the hpat1/3 pollen fertility pathway, the objectives of the research in my honor's thesis are to study the following: 1) how does inh3-3 mutation suppress hpat1/3 pollen tube fertility defects, 2) if inh3-1 will also suppress the hpat1/3 fertility defect as inh3-3 does, and 3) if inh3-3 and inh3-1 can both lead to the decrease in fertility in the WT background. The experiments in this thesis show that knocking out INH3 with either inh3-1 or the inh3-3 allele will suppress hpat1/3 pollen fertility defects. Both inh3-3 and inh3-1 mutants in pollen could increase the transmission in hpat1/3 pollen and the fertility of hpat1/3 plants. However, the inh3-3 pollen actually decreased the transmission through the pollen in the WT background without hpat1/3 mutants as inh3-1 did. However, the exact mechanism of how the loss-of-function INH3 interacts with the hpat1/3 mutant protein in the pollen tube fertility pathway at the cellular level is still unknown and requires further investigation.

description: The farm level economic impacts of the Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 on representative crop and livestock operations are projected in this report. The analysis was conducted over the 2004-2011 planning horizon using FLIPSIM, AFPC’s whole farm simulation model. Data to simulate farming operations in the nation’s major production regions came from two sources: • Producer panel cooperation to develop economic information to describe and simulate representative crop, livestock, and dairy farms, and • Projected prices, policy variables, and input inflation rates from the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute (FAPRI) December 2006 Baseline. The FLIPSIM policy simulation model incorporates the historical risk faced by farmers for prices and production. This report presents the results of the December 2006 Baseline in a risk context using selected simulated probabilities and ranges for annual net cash farm income values. The probability of a farm experiencing negative ending cash reserves and the probability of a farm losing real net worth are included as indicators of the cash flow and equity risks facing farms through the year 2011.

description: Unconventional quasiparticle excitations in condensed matter systems have become one of the most important research frontiers. Beyond two- and fourfold degenerate Weyl and Dirac fermions, three-, six- and eightfold symmetry protected degeneracies have been predicted however remain challenging to realize in solid state materials. Here, charge density wave compound TaTe4 is proposed to hold eightfold fermionic excitation and Dirac point in energy bands. High quality TaTe4 single crystals are prepared, where the charge density wave is revealed by directly imaging the atomic structure and a pseudogap of about 45 meV on the surface. Shubnikov de-Haas oscillations of TaTe4 are consistent with band structure calculation. Scanning tunneling microscopy reveals atomic step edge states on the surface of TaTe4. This work uncovers that charge density wave is able to induce new topological phases and sheds new light on the novel excitations in condensed matter materials.

description: On the basis of the relativistic symmetry of Minkowski space, we derive a Lorentz invariant equation for a spread electron. This equation slightly differs from the Dirac equation and includes additional terms originating from the spread of an electron. Further, we calculate the anomalous magnetic moment based on these terms. These calculations do not include any divergence; therefore, renormalization procedures are unnecessary. In addition, the relativistic symmetry existing among coordinate systems will provide a new prospect for the foundations of quantum mechanics like the measurement process.

description: While projected milk prices are a primary determinant of the financial viability of the representative dairies, the prices of feed crops and cattle prices can also have an impact. Most of the dairies produce hay, silage, and other crops and are often net buyers. Commodity prices have a major impact on dairy returns because feed represents the number one cost for dairies. With the recent increase in demand for corn, prices are projected to increase, potentially affecting rations and feed costs.
