description: Neurodegenerative diseases are characterised by motor deficiencies. For many of them, there is no successful neuroprotective or neuroregenerative therapy clinically available. In order to address this problem, the development of valid animal models for motor disorders has become an active field in preclinical research. Behaviour analysis of laboratory animals is a useful tool to assess therapeutic efficacy. The entire process consists of animal trackingand behaviour categorisation. Despite efforts made within the research community, there is no system which can perform automated recognition of complex animal behaviours and interactions. In this thesis, we propose to develop a fully automated and trainable computer vision system to track and analyse complex mouse behaviours and interactions using video data recorded by calibrated cameras. To achieve this goal, we firstly propose a novel method based on Baysian-inference Inter Linear Program to continuously track several mice and individual parts without requiring any specific tagging. For automated recognition of singleview mouse behaviours, we present a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) based framework, where the emission probabilities of the HMM are learned by an efficient hybrid architecture including a combination of Segment Fisher Vector and Segment Aggregate Network. Finallywe further extend the system of single-view mouse behaviour recognition for multi-view mouse behaviour recognition based on a deep probabilistic graphical model which jointly describes the unique dynamics from each view, extracts the common pattern across views and represents the correlations between the action labels of the neighbourhoods. We have evaluated the proposed methods by conducting extensive experiments on public and ourdatasets. Experimental results show the effectiveness of our methods for tracking, behaviour recognition and social behaviour analysis.

description: A study on the relation between the smooth structure of a symplectic homotopy K3 surface and its symplectic symmetries is initiated. A measurement of exoticness of a symplectic homotopy K3 surface is introduced, and the influence of an effective action of a K3 group via symplectic symmetries is investigated. It is shown that an effective action by various maximal symplectic K3 groups forces the corresponding homotopy K3 surface to be minimally exotic with respect to our measure. (However, the standard K3 is the only known example of such minimally exotic homotopy K3 surfaces.) The possible structure of a finite group of symplectic symmetries of a minimally exotic homotopy K3 surface is determined and future research directions are indicated.

description: An outstanding open issue in our quest for physics beyond Einstein is the unification of general relativity (GR) and quantum physics. Loop quantum gravity (LQG) is a leading approach toward this goal. At its heart is the central lesson of GR: Gravity is a manifestation of spacetime geometry. Thus, the approach emphasizes the quantum nature of geometry and focuses on its implications in extreme regimes -- near the big bang and inside black holes -- where Einstein's smooth continuum breaks down. We present a brief overview of the main ideas underlying LQG and highlight a few recent advances. This report is addressed to non-experts.

title: Deformation mechanism of bimodal metal-graphene composites with nanotwinned structure
Creators: name: Skiba, N.V.
Publisher: name: Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University
Year: 2021

description: The theoretical model is suggested which describes micromechanisms of plastic deformation in bimodal metal-graphene composite consisting of large grains embedded into nanocrystalline/ultrafine-grained metal-matrix reinforced by graphene inclusions. In the framework of the model, lattice dislocation slip and grain boundary sliding has occurred in nanocrystalline/ultrafine-grained matrix, and lattice dislocation slip and migration of twin boundaries are realized in large grains with a nanotwinned structure providing the plastic deformation of bimodal metal-graphene composite. With this assumption, the yield stress of nanotwinned bimodal metal-graphene composite was calculated.
Redshift drift in radially inhomogeneous Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi spacetimes

description: We provide a formula for estimating the redshift and its secular change (redshift drift) in Lemaître-Tolman-Bondi (LTB) spherically symmetric universes. We compute the scaling of the redshift drift for LTB models that predict Hubble diagrams indistinguishable from those of the standard cosmological model, the flat $Λ$ Cold Dark Matter ($Λ$CDM) model. We show that the redshift drift for these degenerate LTB models is typically different from that predicted in the $Λ$CDM scenario. We also highlight and discuss some unconventional redshift-drift signals that arise in LTB universes and give them distinctive features compared to the standard model. We argue that the redshift drift is a metric observable that allows to reduce the degrees of freedom of spherically symmetric models and to make them more predictive and thus falsifiable.

description: The Glashow-Iliopoulos-Maiani mechanism is extremely efficient to suppress the flavour-changing neutral current decays of charmed hadrons induced by the $c \to u$ transitions, making such processes particularly sensitive to phenomena beyond the Standard Model. In particular, $c \to u$ decays with a neutrino pair in the final state are theoretically appealing due to the small long-distance contributions. Moreover, in the framework of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT), the $SU(2)_L$ invariance allows to relate the Wilson coefficients in the effective Hamiltonian governing the $c \to u ν{\bar ν}$ decays to the coefficients in the $c \to u \ell^+ \ell^-$ Hamiltonian. We analyze the $B_c \to B^{(*)+} ν{\bar ν}$ decays, for which branching fractions of at most ${\cal O}(10^{-16})$ are predicted in the Standard Model including short- and long-distance contributions, so small that they can be considered as null tests. Using SMEFT and the relation to the $c \to u \ell^+ \ell^-$ processes we study the largest enhancement achievable in generic new physics scenarios. Then we focus on a particular extension of the Standard Model, the 331 model. SMEFT relations and the connection with $c \to u \ell^+ \ell^-$ imply that ${\cal B}(B_c \to B^{(*)+} ν{\bar ν})$ could even reach ${\cal O}(10^{-6})$, an extremely large enhancement. A less pronounced effect is found in the 331 model, with ${\cal O}(10^{-11})$ predicted branching fractions. Within the 331 model correlations exist among the $B_c \to B^{(*)+}ν\bar ν$ and $K\to πν\bar ν$, $B\to (X_s, K, K^*) ν\bar ν$ channels.

description: We show that the topological string partition function with D-branes on a compact Calabi-Yau manifold has new anomalies that spoil the recursive structure of the holomorphic anomaly equation and introduce dependence on wrong moduli (such as complex structure moduli in the A-model), unless the disk one-point functions vanish. This provides a microscopic explanation for the recent result of Walcher in arXiv:0712.2775 on counting of BPS states in M-theory using the topological string partition function. The relevance of vanishing disk one-point functions to large $N$ duality for compact Calabi-Yau manifolds is noted.

Comments. Papáč & Kováč (2013) reported some specimens identified as M. cf. perspicillum, differing from the original description by having serrated labral a1 chaetae (vs smooth in the original description). In the novel specimens examined here, those chaetae are serrated. We confirmed that the original specimens have at least faintly serrated labral a1 chaetae, and we consider the possible variation to be within the species boundary.

description: The influence of nano-metal films on the Goos-Haenchen shift (GHS) is investigated. The films deposited at the total reflecting surface of a perspex prism/air have a sheet resistance varying between Z = 25 and 3 000 Ohm. A resonance-like enhancement of the shift and of the absorption is found for TE polarized waves, when the sheet resistance approaches the value of the vacuum impedance. For TM waves the influence of the metal films on the GHS is comparatively weak. The experiments are carried out with microwaves.

description: Coupled hair cells of the auditory and vestibular systems perform the crucial task of converting the energy of sound waves and ground-borne vibrations into ionic currents. We mechanically couple groups of living, active hair cells with artificial membranes, thus mimicking in vitro the coupled dynamical system. We identify chimera states and frequency clustering in the dynamics of these coupled nonlinear, autonomous oscillators. We find that these dynamical states can be reproduced by our numerical model with heterogeneity of the parameters. Further, we find that this model is most sensitive to external signals when poised at the onset of synchronization, where chimera and cluster states are likely to form. We therefore propose that the partial synchronization in our experimental system is a manifestation of a system poised at the verge of synchronization with optimal sensitivity.
Sterile neutrino oscillations after first MiniBooNE results

description: In view of the recent results from the MiniBooNE experiment we revisit the global neutrino oscillation fit to short-baseline neutrino data by adding one or two sterile neutrinos with eV-scale masses to the three Standard Model neutrinos, and for the first time we consider also the global fit with three sterile neutrinos. Four-neutrino oscillations of the (3+1) type have been only marginally allowed before the recent MiniBooNE results, and become even more disfavored with the new data (at the level of $4σ$). In the framework of so-called (3+2) five-neutrino mass schemes we find severe tension between appearance and disappearance experiments at the level of more than $3σ$, and hence no satistfactory fit to the global data is possible in (3+2) schemes. This tension remains also when a third sterile neutrino is added, and the quality of the global fit does not improve significantly in a (3+3) scheme. It should be noted, however, that in models with more than one sterile neutrino the MiniBooNE results are in perfect agreement with the LSND appearance evidence, thanks to the possibility of CP violation available in such oscillation schemes. Furthermore, if disappearance data are not taken into account (3+2) oscillations provide an excellent fit to the full MiniBooNE spectrum including the event excess at low energies.

description: Patient monitoring is vital in all stages of care. We here report the development and validation of ICU length of stay and mortality prediction models. The models will be used in an intelligent ICU patient monitoring module of an Intelligent Remote Patient Monitoring (IRPM) framework that monitors the health status of patients, and generates timely alerts, maneuver guidance, or reports when adverse medical conditions are predicted. We utilized the publicly available Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) database to extract ICU stay data for adult patients to build two prediction models: one for mortality prediction and another for ICU length of stay. For the mortality model, we applied six commonly used machine learning (ML) binary classification algorithms for predicting the discharge status (survived or not). For the length of stay model, we applied the same six ML algorithms for binary classification using the median patient population ICU stay of 2.64 days. For the regression-based classification, we used two ML algorithms for predicting the number of days. We built two variations of each prediction model: one using 12 baseline demographic and vital sign features, and the other based on our proposed quantiles approach, in which we use 21 extra features engineered from the baseline vital sign features, including their modified means, standard deviations, and quantile percentages. We could perform predictive modeling with minimal features while maintaining reasonable performance using the quantiles approach. The best accuracy achieved in the mortality model was approximately 89% using the random forest algorithm. The highest accuracy achieved in the length of stay model, based on the population median ICU stay (2.64 days), was approximately 65% using the random forest algorithm.

description: We analyze the photometric redshift catalog of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SDSS DR5) to estimate the Fisher information in the galaxy angular power spectrum with the help of the Rimes-Hamilton technique. It is found that the amount of Fisher information contained in the galaxy angular power spectrum is saturated at lensing multipole scale 300<= l <= 2000 in the redshift range 0.1<= photo-z <0.5. At l=2000, the observed information is two orders of magnitude lower than the case of Gaussian fluctuations. This supports observationally that the translinear regime of the density power spectrum contains little independent information about the initial cosmological conditions, which is consistent with the numerical trend shown by Rimes-Hamilton. Our results also suggest that the Gaussian-noise description may not be valid in weak lensing measurements.

description: In this paper the problem of a plane strain hydraulic fracture propagating in an elasto-plastic material is analyzed. A new stress redistribution model for the proximity of the fracture tip is formulated and a resulting plasticity-dependent crack propagation condition is introduced. A modified variant of the KGD problem that accounts for the plastic deformations in the near-tip zone only is proposed. It is demonstrated that this model can be a credible substitute for the full elasto-plastic hydraulic fracture problem in the case of moderate plastic deformation. The crack-tip shielding effect introduced by the plastic deformation is quantified.

Type species. Victoriocambala buffalensis Verhoeff, 1944, by monotypy.
Remarks. Verhoeff (1944, p. 41) noted that his new, monotypic Victoriocambala was most closely related to Amastigogonus Brölemann, 1913, a then-monotypic Tasmanian genus to which he added two new Tasmanian species. By the time Jeekel (2009) described a second Victorian Victoriocambala species, the number of Tasmanian Amastigogonus species had increased to four (Hoffman 1972; Mauriès et al .. 2001), and I have since added another six Tasmanian species (Mesibov, 2017). Consistent and taxonomically useful differences between species in the two genera are listed in Table 1.
The two Victoriocambala species share several characters with the Tasmanian endemic Equestrigonus tasmaniensis Mesibov, 2017. In all three cases, there is an apical fringe of long setae on the anterior gonopod telopodite, the leg 7 coxa is not elongated, there is a prominent tab anteriorly on the leg 1 prefemur and the leg 2 coxa, and prefemoral tabs begin on ring 5. E. tasmaniensis differs from the Victoriocambala species in diplosegment sculpture (suture weakly defined, longitudinal metazonite striae curving upwards towards suture), having a prominent setal crown on the posterior gonopod and the coxite process on the anterior gonopod directed posterodistally rather than parallelling the telopodite and protecting the pseudoflagellum (Mesibov, 2017). It seems likely that in a three-taxon molecular phylogeny, Equestrigonus and Victoriocambala would be more closely related than either is to Amastigogonus.

description: In this paper we give pinching theorems for the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian on the compact hypersurfaces of ambient spaces with bounded sectional curvature. As application we deduce rigidity results for stable constant mean curvature hypersurfaces $M$ of these spaces $N$. Indeed, we prove that if $M$ is included in a ball of radius small enough then the Hausdorff-distance between $M$ and a geodesic sphere $S$ of $N$ is small. Moreover $M$ is diffeomorphic and quasi-isometric to $S$. As other application, we give rigidity results for almost umbilic hypersurfaces.
An investigation of squish generated turbulence in. I.C. engines
Creators: name: Cameron, Cecilia Dianne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Experiments were performed with a single cylinder C.F.R. engine to provide data for the evaluation of the squish designs. Several reference squish chambers were manufactured for the C.F.R. engine. Flow field data was obtained via hot wire anemometer measurements taken in the cylinder during motored operation of the engine. Pressure data recorded while the engine was operated on natural gas yielded mass burn rate information. Mass burn rate analysis of cylinder pressure data shows the squish design to have greatest impact on the main combustion period (2% to 85% mass burned). A comparison of the reference squish design in these experiments to the disc chamber shows a 32% reduction in the combustion duration and a 30% increase in peak pressure occurring 5 crank angle degrees earlier. The squish-jet design provided the additional effect of a reduction in the ignition delay time (spark to 2% mass burned). The squish-jet design resulted in a reduction of the ignition delay time by 3 crank angle degrees and in a 4% increase in peak pressure occurring 3 crank angle degrees earlier compared to the reference squish chamber. The total combustion duration was 5% less with the squish-jet design.

description: This paper investigates static wormhole solutions through Noether symmetry approach in the context of energy-momentum squared gravity. This newly developed proposal resolves the singularity of big-bang and yields feasible cosmological results in the early times. We consider the particular model of this theory to establish symmetry generators and corresponding conserved quantities. For constant and variable red-shift functions, we examine the presence of viable traversable wormhole solutions for both dust as well as non-dust matter distributions and analyze the stable state of these solutions. We investigate the graphical interpretation of null and weak energy bounds for normal and effective energy-momentum tensors to examine the presence of physically viable wormhole geometry. It is found that realistic traversable and stable wormhole solutions are obtained for a particular model of this gravity.

Our results do not depend on the presence of an appropriate Lyapunov functional as in the Łojasiewicz-Simon approach, but are of local nature.

UN SDGs
activism

description: In this session, you will give feedback on a metadata activism campaign to help metadata to make a difference. In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly put forth 17 goals to “transform our world”. These goals aim to tackle the big, important problems facing society. Scholarly research is critical to ensuring our collective response is timely and enduring. Open metadata is the foundational infrastructure that fuels innovation and is key to ensuring that research can be available, relevant, and used by everyone who needs it. Play your part, help us improve the quality of metadata for research. Metadata 2020 is a collaboration that advocates richer, connected, and reusable, open metadata for all research outputs, which will advance scholarly pursuits for the benefit of society. Richer metadata fuels discovery and innovation. Connected metadata bridges the gaps between systems and communities. Reusable, open metadata eliminates duplication of effort. When we settle for inadequate metadata, none of this is possible and everyone suffers as a consequence.

description: We demonstrate that bistability of the nuclear spin polarization in optically pumped semiconductor quantum dots is a general phenomenon possible in dots with a wide range of parameters. In experiment, this bistability manifests itself via the hysteresis behavior of the electron Zeeman splitting as a function of either pump power or external magnetic field. In addition, our theory predicts that the nuclear polarization can strongly influence the charge dynamics in the dot leading to bistability in the average dot charge.

Molecular phylogeny and species delimitation
The COI dataset comprised 13 aligned sequences including three newly obtained sequences from the collected specimens, three additional sequences of L. bartschi from the South China Sea and Western Australia, five sequences of L. coheni from the Eastern Pacific, plus two outgroup sequences (Table 1). The length of the aligned sequences of the dataset is 618 bp. Figure 2 shows the phylogenetic tree inferred from the ML analysis based on the dataset. The monophyly of the genus Luciobrotula is strongly supported (bootstrap value =98%), and ingroup sequences form three clades or lineages among which two contain sequences from the two known species (Fig. 2). While two of our newly obtained sequences (ASIZP 0913925 and PNG 1082) fall into the L. bartschi clade, the third one (PNG 2363) appears to be a previously unknown lineage. Advanced species delimitation analyses with ABGD and bPTP based on the same COI dataset reveal a congruent result with a prediction of three OTUs, corroborating the phylogenetic finding (Fig. 2). The delimited OTUs (or inferred species) are genetically distinct from each other. The unknown lineage is distinct from others by 37 unique nucleotide sites based on CBB analysis. The average genetic distances measured using the K2P model among them are from 0.130 to 0.138 at the COI locus. Further morphological examination on the specimens indicates that the features of the sample collected from the Solomon Sea (PNG 2363) are unique among all known Luciobrotula species (see below), and we validate it herein as a new species.

description: Research managers benchmarking universities against international peers face the problem of affiliation disambiguation. Different databases have taken separate approaches to this problem and discrepancies exist between them. Bibliometric data sources typically conduct a disambiguation process that unifies variant institutional names and those of its sub-units so that researchers can then search all records from that institution using a single unified name. This study examined affiliation discrepancies between Scopus, Web of Science, Dimensions, and Microsoft Academic for 18 Arab universities over a five-year period. We confirmed that digital object identifiers (DOIs) are suitable for extracting comparable scholarly material across databases and quantified the affiliation discrepancies between them. A substantial share of records assigned to the selected universities in any one database were not assigned to the same university in another. The share of discrepancy was higher in the larger databases, Dimensions and Microsoft Academic. The smaller, more selective databases, Scopus and especially Web of Science tended to agree to a greater degree with affiliations in the other databases. Manual examination of affiliation discrepancies showed they were caused by a mixture of missing affiliations, unification differences, and assignation of records to the wrong institution.

description: We present the results of a search for dwarf novae (DNe) in globular clusters (GCs). It is based on the largest available homogeneous sample of observations, in terms of the time span, number of observations and number of clusters. It includes 16 Galactic GCs and yielded two new certain DNe: M55-CV1 and M22-CV2. All previously known systems located in our fields were recovered, too. We surveyed M4, M5, M10, M12, M22, M30, M55, NGC 288, NGC 362, NGC 2808, NGC 3201, NGC 4372, NGC 6362, NGC 6752, omega Cen (NGC 5139) and 47 Tuc (NGC 104). The discovery of two DNe, namely M55-CV1 and M22-CV2, was already reported by Kaluzny et al. (2005) and Pietrukowicz et al. (2005), respectively. In the remaining 14 GCs we found no certain new DNe. Our result raises the total number of known DNe in the Galactic globular clusters to 12 DNe, distributed among 7 clusters. Our survey recovered all three already known erupting cataclysmic variables (CVs) located in our fields, namely M5-V101, M22-CV1, and V4 in the foreground of M30. To assess the efficiency of the survey, we analyzed images with inserted artificial stars mimicking outbursts of the prototype dwarf novae SS Cyg and U Gem. Depending on the conditions, we recovered between 16-100 percent of these artificial stars. The efficiency seems to be predominantly affected by duty cycle/time sampling and much less by distance/magnitude. Except for saturated tiny collapsed cores of M30, NGC 362 and NGC 6752 (and also the dense core of NGC 2808) crowding effects in the V band were avoided by our image subtraction technique augmented with auxiliary unsaturated B-band images. Our results clearly demonstrate that in GCs common types of DNe are very rare indeed. However, great care must be taken before these conclusions can be extended to the CV population in GCs.

description: We present a storytelling robot, controlled via the ACT-R cognitive architecture, able to adopt different persuasive techniques and ethical stances while conversing about some topics concerning COVID-19. The main contribution of the paper consists in the proposal of a needs-driven model that guides and evaluates, during the dialogue, the use (if any) of persuasive techniques available in the agent procedural memory. The portfolio of persuasive techniques tested in such a model ranges from the use of storytelling, to framing techniques and rhetorical-based arguments. To the best of our knowledge, this represents the first attempt of building a persuasive agent able to integrate a mix of explicitly grounded cognitive assumptions about dialogue management, storytelling and persuasive techniques as well as ethical attitudes. The paper presents the results of an exploratory evaluation of the system on 63 participants

description: We report on broad-band infrared ellipsometry measurements of the c-axis conductivity of underdoped RBa_{2}Cu_{3}O_{7-d} (R=Y, Nd, and La) single crystals. Our data provide a detailed account of the spectral weight (SW) redistributions due to the normal state pseudogap (PG) and the superconducting (SC) gap. They show that these phenomena involve different energy scales, exhibit distinct doping dependencies and thus are likely of different origin. In particular, the SW redistribution in the PG state closely resembles the one of a conventional charge- or spin density wave (CDW or SDW) system.

description: EFFECT OF THE EXTRACTS OF TRICHILIA AMERICANA ON COPITARSIA DECOLORA SURVIVAL
Copitarsia decolora larvae fed on a diet supplemented with hexane extracts of T. americana displayed significantly reduced mean survival times (Log-Rank Test = 48.33; df = 4; P <0.001; Table 1; Fig. 2a). Larvae fed the 1,500 ppm treatment had a significantly shorter mean survival time than the others, and all of them died as larvae. Larvae on the 100, 500, and 1,000 ppm treatments had similar survival times, but they were significantly shorter than the diet-only control treatment. Larval mortality was over 70% in all treatments except at 100, where larval mortality was 40%, and very few casualties were observed at the pupal stage. The cumulative mortality for the control diet treatment was 8%.
Larvae fed the 1,500 ppm ethyl acetate-extract treatment had the shortest mean survival time (Log-Rank Test = 42.61; df = 4; P <0.001; Table 1; Fig. 2b). All treatments had significantly shorter mean survival times than the control diet treatment. Larval mortality increased as concentration increased. No larvae from the 500, 1,000, and 1,500 ppm treatments reached the adult stage, and at 100 ppm, cumulative mortality was 76%.
Means within the same solvent followed by the same letter are not significantly different (P> 0.05; Holm-Sidak test). *Control diet is the same for all the solvents.**No larvae reached the pupal stage.
Mean larval survival times were similar in all the concentrations of acetone extract (Log-Rank Test = 6.26; df = 4; P <0.18; Table 1) and mean survival time for larvae fed acetone extract was the same as the control diet treatment. The highest cumulative mortality was obtained in the 1,500 ppm treatment.
Mean survival times of C. decolora larvae were similar across all the concentrations of methanol extract (Log-Rank Test = 9.35; df = 4; P <0.053) and aqueous extract (Log-Rank Test = 7.93; df = 4; P <0.094). This varied from 26.1 ± 2.4 d for methanol extract at 1,500 ppm, to 30.5 ± 1.9 d at 100 ppm treatment. The highest level of mortality was 44% at 1,500 ppm and the shortest was 36% at 100 ppm. The highest cumulative mortality was 52% in the 1,500 ppm treatment. Mean larval survival time of the aqueous extracts ranged from 26.3 ± 2.7 d in the 1,500 ppm treatment to 31.9 ± 1.4 d in the 100 ppm treatment. The highest mortality was 40% in the 1,500 ppm treatment and the lowest mortality was 36% in the 100 ppm treatment. The highest level of cumulative mortality was 48% in the 1,500 ppm treatment.

description: We report the serendipitous detection by GALEX of fast (<1 day) rising (>1 mag) UV emission from two Type II plateau (II-P) supernovae (SNe) at z=0.185 and 0.324 discovered by the Supernova Legacy Survey. Optical photometry and VLT spectroscopy 2 weeks after the GALEX detections link the onset of UV emission to the time of shock breakout. Using radiation hydrodynamics and non-LTE radiative transfer simulations, and starting from a standard red supergiant (RSG; Type II-P SN progenitor) star evolved self-consistently from the main sequence to iron core collapse, we model the shock breakout phase and the 55 hr that follow. The small scale height of our RSG atmosphere model suggests that the breakout signature is a thermal soft X-ray burst (lambda_peak ~ 90Å) with a duration of
