Lewis meets Brouwer: constructive strict implication
Creators: name: Litak, Tadeusz

Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: C. I. Lewis invented modern modal logic as a theory of "strict implication". Over the classical propositional calculus one can as well work with the unary box connective. Intuitionistically, however, the strict implication has greater expressive power than the box and allows to make distinctions invisible in the ordinary syntax. In particular, the logic determined by the most popular semantics of intuitionistic K becomes a proper extension of the minimal normal logic of the binary connective. Even an extension of this minimal logic with the "strength" axiom, classically near-trivial, preserves the distinction between the binary and the unary setting. In fact, this distinction and the strong constructive strict implication itself has been also discovered by the functional programming community in their study of "arrows" as contrasted with "idioms". Our particular focus is on arithmetical interpretations of the intuitionistic strict implication in terms of preservativity in extensions of Heyting's Arithmetic.

Elle est accompagnée par sa mère qui intervient ponctuellement au cours de l’entretien, notamment au sujet des soins à base de plantes. L’enquête est difficilement compréhensible durant les deux premières minutes. L’informatrice raconte qu’elle n’a pas donné de tétée le premier jour mais seulement de l’eau sucrée ou de la verveine. Le méconium de l’enfant est évoqué. L’informatrice rapporte que l’enfant n’est pas séparé de sa mère durant les quarante jours qui suivent la naissance. L’enquêtrice aborde ensuite les questions liées au colostrum. L’informatrice explique que le colostrum est transparent, cependant elle précise ne pas l’avoir goûté. L’informatrice reconnaît qu’elle ignore les propriétés du colostrum. L’enquête se termine sur la durée du colostrum qui, d’après l’informatrice, est d'environ trois jours, juste avant la montée de lait maternel.

Making AlphaFold2 accessible to Biologists

description: AlphaFold2 has revolutionized medical research with its unparalleled accuracy in protein structure prediction, vital for understanding biological functions and advancing therapeutic developments. However, its deployment poses significant challenges due to its complexity and the high computational resources required. Many biologists often lack the technical skills to run such advanced models efficiently.

In this presentation, we will address these challenges, and how we restructured the AlphaFold2 process into three streamlined stages: feature extraction and multiple sequence alignment (MSA), inference (structure prediction), and relaxation, with an additional module for plotting results. The feature extraction and MSA stage requires CPUs only to run, while the inference stage utilizes GPUs to predict the protein s three-dimensional structure, maximizing computational efficiency. The relaxation stage refines these structures into more biologically plausible models. This segmentation allows for separate processing, conserving GPU resources for the computationally intensive inference stage and running other stages on CPUs.

The next challenge was making AlphaFold2 easy for biologists with minimal experience in HPC to launch. Using Nextflow and Nextflow Tower (Seqera Platform) have been crucial in overcoming this challenge. Nextflow encapsulates and manages complex workflows, simplifying the multi-step process into manageable parts. Nextflow Tower offers a graphical interface that enhances the user experience making it easy to launch, monitor, and manage their workflows.

These advancements ensure that resources are used efficiently and that biologists with limited technical skills can leverage the latest protein modeling technology, significantly enhancing research capabilities.

Supersymmetric formulation of the minimal surface equation: algebraic aspects
Creators: name: Grundland, A. Michel
name: Hariton, Alexander J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, a supersymmetric extension of the minimal surface equation is formulated. Based on this formulation, a Lie superalgebra of infinitesimal symmetries of this equation is determined. A classification of the one-dimensional subalgebras is performed, which results in a list of 143 conjugacy classes with respect to action by the supergroup generated by the Lie superalgebra. The symmetry reduction method is used to obtain invariant solutions of the supersymmetric minimal surface equation. The classical minimal surface equation is also examined and its group-theoretical properties are compared with those of the supersymmetric version.

Generic Newton polygon for exponential sums in $n$ variables with parallelotope base
Creators: name: Ren, Rufei
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Number Theory (math.NT)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let $p$ be a prime number. Every $n$-variable polynomial $f(\underline x)$ over a finite field of characteristic $p$ defines an Artin--Schreier--Witt tower of varieties whose Galois group is isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_p$. Our goal of this paper is to study the Newton polygon of the $L$-function associated to a finite character of $\mathbb{Z}_p$ and a generic polynomial whose convex hull is an $n$-dimensional paralleltope $Δ$. We denote this polygon by $\mathrm{GNP}(Δ)$. We prove a lower bound of $\mathrm{GNP}(Δ)$, which is called the improved Hodge polygon $\mathrm{IHP}(Δ)$. We show that $\mathrm{IHP}(Δ)$ lies above the usual Hodge polygon $\mathrm{HP}(Δ)$ at certain infinitely many points, and when $p$ is larger than a fixed number determined by $Δ$, it coincides with $\mathrm{GNP}(Δ)$ at these points. As a corollary, we roughly determine the distribution of the slopes of $\mathrm{GNP}(Δ)$.

Detection of X-ray spectral state transitions in mini-outbursts of black hole transient GRS 1739-278

description: We report the detection of the state transitions and hysteresis effect in the two mini-outbursts of the black hole (BH) transient GRS 1739$-$278 following its 2014 major outburst. The X-ray spectral evolutions in these two mini-outbursts are similar to the major outburst, in spite of their peak luminosities and the outburst durations are one order of magnitude lower. We found the $L_\mathrm{hard-to-soft}$ and the $L_\mathrm{peak,soft}$ of the mini-outbursts also follow the correlation previous found in other X-ray binaries. The $L_\mathrm{hard-to-soft}$ of the mini-outbursts is still higher than that of the persistent BH binary Cyg X-1, which supports that there is a link between the maximum luminosity a source can reach in the hard state and the corresponding non-stationary accretion represented by substantial rate-of-change in the mass accretion rate during flares/outbursts. The detected luminosity range of these two mini-outbursts is roughly in 3.5$\times 10^{-5}$-- 0.015 ($D/7.5$ kpc)$^{2}$($M/8M_{\odot}$) $L_\mathrm{Edd}$. The X-ray spectra of other BH transients at such low luminosities are usually dominated by a power-law component, and an anti-correlation is observed between the photon index and the X-ray luminosity below 1\% $L_\mathrm{Edd}$. So the detection of X-ray spectral state transitions indicates that the accretion flow evolution in these two mini-outbursts of GRS 1739$-$278 are different from other BH systems at such low-luminosity regime.

description: We study a variable-coefficient Burgers equation arising in the modelling of segregation of dry bidisperse granular mixtures. The equation is subject to nonlinear boundary conditions for the particle flux. We construct a strongly implicit Crank--Nicolson type of numerical scheme for the latter equation. The scheme is benchmarked against a standard exact solution of kink type, showing second-order of accuracy and good discrete conservation properties. Two segregation problems considered in the literature are then solved and discussed. The first is the case of a linear kinetic stress profile, which renders the governing equation of constant-coefficient type, while the second is the case of a variable kinetic stress profile based on an expression fit to particle dynamics simulation data.

In silico dynamic optimisation studies for batch/fed-batch mammalian cell suspension cultures producing biopharmaceuticals
Creators: name: Lam, Ming-Chi
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Mammalian cell cultures are valuable for synthesis of therapeutic proteins and antibodies. They are commonly cultivated in bioindustry in form of large-scale suspension fed-batch cultures. The structure and regulatory responses of mammalian cells are complex, making it challenging to model them for practical process optimisation. The adjustable degrees of freedom in the cell cultures can be continuous variables as well as binary-type variables. The binary-type variables may be irreversible in cases such as cell-cycle arrest. The main aim of this study was to develop a general model for mammalian cell cultures using extracellular variables and capturing major changes in cellular responses between batch and fed-batch cultures. The model development started with a simple model for a hybridoma cell culture using first-principle equations. The growth kinetics was only linked to glucose and glutamine and the cell population was divided into three cell-cycle phases to study the phenomenon of cell-cycle arrest. But there were certain deficiencies in predicting growth rates in the death phase in fed-batch cultures although it was successful to simultaneously optimise a combination of continuous and binary-irreversible degrees of freedom. Thus, the growth kinetics was further related to amino acids concentration and cellular responses to high versus low concentration of glutamine and glucose based on a Chinese hamster ovary cell-line where amino acids data were available. The model contained 192 parameters with 26 measured cell culture variables. Most of the sensitive parameters were able to be identified using the Sobol' method of Global Sensitivity Analysis. The model could capture the main trends of key variables and be used to search for the optimal working range of the controllable variables. But uncertainties in the sensitive model parameters caused non-negligible variations in the model-based optimisation results. It is recommended to couple such off-line optimisation with on-line measurements of a few major variables to tackle the real-time uncertain nature of the complex cell culture system.

description: High-performance materials rely on small reorganization energies to facilitate both charge separation and charge transport. Here, we performed DFT calculations to predict small reorganization energies of rectangular silicene nanoclusters with hydrogen-passivated edges denoted by H-SiNC. We observe that across all geometries, H-SiNCs feature large electron affinities and highly stabilized anionic states, indicating their potential as n-type materials. Our findings suggest that fine-tuning the size of H-SiNCs along the zigzag and armchair directions may permit the design of novel n-type electronic materials and spinctronics devices that incorporate both high electron affinities and very low internal reorganization energies.

description: This presentation covers an update on the status and current trends in the ORCID US Community (127+ institutions), formed in 2018 as a consortium for ORCID member research institutions in the US. Prior to 2018, ORCID was very low on the list of priorities at US research institutions. However, infused with new communication channels, resources like webinars and planning guides, and increased personalized outreach to member organizations, ORCID is steadily moving to the forefront of conversations around research information management and related endeavors. While there is still room for growth in terms of ORCID adoption, and DOI usage in some disciplines, best practices are emerging and pathways forward are becoming more clear for the US research institution community that will perhaps resonate with other PID communities and other areas of the globe.

description: Wide passband interdigital transducers are employed to establish a stable phase-lock between a train of laser pulses emitted by a mode-locked laser and a surface acoustic wave generated electrically by the transducer. The transducer design is based on a multi-harmonic split-finger architecture for the excitation of a fundamental surface acoustic wave and a discrete number of its overtones. Simply by introducing a variation of the transducer's periodicity $p$, a frequency chirp is added. This combination results in wide frequency bands for each harmonic. The transducer's conversion efficiency from the electrical to the acoustic domain was characterized optomechanically using single quantum dots acting as nanoscale pressure sensors. The ability to generate surface acoustic waves over a wide band of frequencies enables advanced acousto-optic spectroscopy using mode-locked lasers with fixed repetition rate. Stable phase-locking between the electrically generated acoustic wave and the train of laser pulses was confirmed by performing stroboscopic spectroscopy on a single quantum dot at a frequency of 320 MHz. Finally, the dynamic spectral modulation of the quantum dot was directly monitored in the time domain combining stable phase-locked optical excitation and time-correlated single photon counting. The demonstrated scheme will be particularly useful for the experimental implementation of surface acoustic wave-driven quantum gates of optically addressable qubits or collective quantum states or for multi-component Fourier synthesis of tailored nanomechanical waveforms.

description: For some of the most commonly used motor measures, psychometric properties, and minimal detectable change (MDC95) remain largely unknown, limiting the interpretability of tests. The aim was to establish intrarater reliability, MDC95 and floor- and ceiling effects for a modified version of the Motor Assessment Scale (M-MAS UAS-99). Data was derived from an intervention study that enrolled 41 individuals with chronic stroke. Test scores from two subsequent assessments with 3 weeks apart were used for establishing the floor and ceiling effect, the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC[2,1]), standard error mean (SEM) and the MDC95 for the total score, and subdomains of the M-MAS UAS-99. The intrarater reliability was excellent with an ICC[2,1] between 0.970 and 0.995 for both total score and subdomains. The MDC95 for the M-MAS UAS-99 total score was 1.22 which means ≥ 2.0 points on an individual basis. For bed mobility subdomain, a ceiling effect was seen, but not for the total score of the test. No floor effect was seen for the test. M-MAS UAS-99 has excellent intrarater reliability. Any individual increase in test scores must reach 2.0 to be considered a true change.

description: We report low-temperature transport measurements in strained InAs/Ga0.68In0.32Sb quantum wells, which supports time-reversal symmetry-protected helical edge states. The temperature and bias voltage dependence of the helical edge conductance for devices of various sizes are consistent with the theoretical expectation of a weakly interacting helical edge state. Moreover, we found that the magnetoresistance of the helical edge states is related to the edge interaction effect and the disorder strength.

description: Dengue, an arboviral disease transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, has been endemic in Brazil for decades. However, vector-control strategies have not led to a significant reduction in the disease burden and have not been sufficient to prevent chikungunya and Zika entry and establishment in the country. In Rio de Janeiro city, the first Zika and chikungunya epidemics were detected between 2015 and 2016, coinciding with a dengue epidemic. Understanding the behaviour of these diseases in a triple epidemic scenario is a necessary step for devising better interventions for prevention and outbreak response. We applied scan statistics analysis to detect spatio-temporal clustering for each disease separately and for all three simultaneously. In general, clusters were not detected in the same locations and time periods, possibly owing to competition between viruses for host resources, depletion of susceptible population, different introduction times and change in behaviour of the human population (e.g. intensified vector-control activities in response to increasing cases of a particular arbovirus). Simultaneous clusters of the three diseases usually included neighbourhoods with high population density and low socioeconomic status, particularly in the North region of the city. The use of space–time cluster detection can guide intensive interventions to high-risk locations in a timely manner, to improve clinical diagnosis and management, and pinpoint vector-control measures.

description: Unmixing the disk-integrated spectra of exoplanets provides hints about heterogeneous surfaces that we cannot directly resolve in the foreseeable future. It is particularly important for terrestrial planets with diverse surface compositions like Earth. Although previous work on unmixing the spectra of Earth from disk-integrated multi-band light curves appeared successful, we point out a mathematical degeneracy between the surface colors and their spatial distributions. Nevertheless, useful constraints on the spectral shape of individual surface types may be obtained from the premise that albedo is everywhere between 0 and 1. We demonstrate the degeneracy and the possible constraints using both mock data based on a toy model of Earth, as well as real observations of Earth. Despite the severe degeneracy, we are still able to recover an approximate albedo spectrum for an ocean. In general, we find that surfaces are easier to identify when they cover a large fraction of the planet and when their spectra approach zero or unity in certain bands.

description: Recently, two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides and nitrides, namely, MXenes have attracted lots of attention for electronic and energy storage applications. Due to a large spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and the existence of a Dirac-like band at the Fermi energy, it has been theoretically proposed that some of the MXenes will be topological insulators (TIs). Up to now, all of the predicted TI MXenes belong to transition metal carbides, whose transition metal atom is W, Mo or Cr. Here, on the basis of first-principles and Z2 index calculations, we demonstrate that some of the MXene nitrides can also be TIs. We find that Ti3N2F2 is a 2D TI, whereas Zr3N2F2 is a semimetal with nontrivial band topology and can be turned into a 2D TI when the lattice is stretched. We also find that the tensile strain can convert Hf3N2F2 semiconductor into a 2D TI. Since Ti is one of the mostly used transition metal element in the synthesized MXenes, we expect that our prediction can advance the future application of MXenes as TI devices.

description: We introduce a scheme for molecular simulations, the Deep Potential Molecular Dynamics (DeePMD) method, based on a many-body potential and interatomic forces generated by a carefully crafted deep neural network trained with ab initio data. The neural network model preserves all the natural symmetries in the problem. It is "first principle-based" in the sense that there are no ad hoc components aside from the network model. We show that the proposed scheme provides an efficient and accurate protocol in a variety of systems, including bulk materials and molecules. In all these cases, DeePMD gives results that are essentially indistinguishable from the original data, at a cost that scales linearly with system size.

Piston ring lubrication and friction in an engine
Creators: name: Eilon, Samuel
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: This work is concerned with the lubrication between a one-ring-piston assembly and a cylinder in an engine. A special apparatus, with a stationary piston and a reciprocating cylinder was used, by means of which the variation of the friction on the piston assembly during the cycle was recorded. The variable factors governing the friction could be independently controlled. Thermocouples were installed at various positions in the piston, the ring and the cylinder, providing a method of determining the mean temperature of the oil between the piston assembly and the cylinder. The tests included an Investigation of the effects of viscosity, speed, and pressure on piston friction force. Results of these tests show that full film lubrication prevails, when the viscosity of the oil is comparatively high. At low viscosities and under pressure, a breakdown of the oil film occurs in the rig at B.D.C. (corresponding to T.D.C. in an actual engine). A theoretical analysis of the lubrication and friction between a piston-ring and a cylinder is proposed for a parallel faced ring. The oil film thickness under the ring is calculated (on the assumption that the piston clearance is empty) and is found to be in the order of .0003", under zero differential pressure conditions. A correlation of this oil film thickness is carried out by heat transfer calculations, which give results of the same order. Under low viscosity (30 cp) and high pressure (250 lb/sq.in.) conditions, the ring oil film thickness is found to be in the order of .0001".
Testing Minimal Flavor Violation in Leptoquark Models of the $R_{K^{(*)}}$ Anomaly

description: The $R_{K^{(*)}}$ anomaly can be explained by tree level exchange of leptoquarks. We study the consequences of subjecting these models to the principle of minimal flavor violation (MFV). We consider MFV in the linear regime, and take the charged lepton Yukawa matrix to be the only spurion that violates lepton flavor universality. We find that a combination of constraints from a variety of processes -- $b\to sμμ$, $b\to sττ$, $b\to sνν$, $b\bar b\toττ$ and $b\to cτν$ -- excludes MFV in these models.

Equivalence Principle for Quantum Systems: Dephasing and Phase Shift of Free-Falling Particles
Creators: name: Anastopoulos, Charis

description: We ask the question how the (weak) equivalence principle established in classical gravitational physics should be reformulated and interpreted for massive quantum objects that may also have internal degrees of freedom (dof). This inquiry is necessary because even elementary concepts like a classical trajectory are not well defined in quantum physics -- trajectories originating from quantum histories become viable entities only under stringent decoherence conditions. From this investigation we posit two logically and operationally distinct statements of the equivalence principle for quantum systems: Version A: The probability distribution of position for a free-falling particle is the same as the probability distribution of a free particle, modulo a mass-independent shift of its mean. Version B: Any two particles with the same velocity wave-function behave identically in free fall, irrespective of their masses. Both statements apply to all quantum states, including non-classical ones, and also for composite particles with quantum internal dof. We also investigate the consequences of the interaction between internal and external dof induced by free fall. For a class of initial states, we find a dephasing for the translational dof, namely, the suppression of the off-diagonal terms of the density matrix, in the position basis. We also find a gravitational phase shift in the reduced density matrix of the internal dof that does not depend on the particle's mass. For classical states, the phase shift has a natural classical interpretation in terms of gravitational red-shift and special relativistic time-dilation.

description: Falls efficacy posits an understanding of the perceived ability to prevent and manage falls. There have been no validated self-reported instruments to measure the perceived ability to recover balance in response to destabilizing perturbations. To develop a scale of balance recovery confidence. Stage one had candidate items generated by 12 community-dwelling adults aged 65 and older using the nominal group technique. Stage two had the scale’s name, instructions, response options, recall period and the items validated for appropriateness with 28 healthcare professionals and 10 older adults using an e-Delphi technique. Stage three had the scale’s psychometric properties evaluated with 84 older adults who had completed self-reported and performance measures. Factor analysis was applied to confirm unidimensionality. The internal structure, reliability and validity of the scale were evaluated using the classical test theory and Rasch measurement theory. The 19-item scale was developed and validated with experts’ consensus. The scale is unidimensional with excellent internal structure (Cronbach’s α = 0.975) and test-retest reliability with Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC3,1) = 0.944. Construct validity of the scale was supported by its relationships with the other measures (Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale, Falls Efficacy Scale-International, Late-Life Function and Disability International-Function, handgrip strength dynamometry, 30-second chair stand test, and mini-BESTest). The balance recovery confidence scale is a distinct instrument that measures perceived reactive balance recovery. The scale has good psychometric properties and can be used to complement other measurement instruments to help older adults cope with challenges to balance.
