description: Many pulsars are formed with a binary companion from which they can accrete matter. Torque exerted by accreting matter can cause the pulsar spin to increase or decrease, and over long times, an equilibrium spin rate is achieved. Application of accretion theory to these systems provides a probe of the pulsar magnetic field. We compare the large number of recent torque measurements of accreting pulsars with a high-mass companion to the standard model for how accretion affects the pulsar spin period. We find that many long spin period (P > 100 s) pulsars must possess either extremely weak (B < 10^10 G) or extremely strong (B > 10^14 G) magnetic fields. We argue that the strong-field solution is more compelling, in which case these pulsars are near spin equilibrium. Our results provide evidence for a fundamental link between pulsars with the slowest spin periods and strong magnetic fields around high-mass companions and pulsars with the fastest spin periods and weak fields around low-mass companions. The strong magnetic fields also connect our pulsars to magnetars and strong-field isolated radio/X-ray pulsars. The strong field and old age of our sources suggests their magnetic field penetrates into the superconducting core of the neutron star.

description: To our knowledge this is the first study analysing the differences in collaboration levels by biomedical translation, also applied to the Electroacupuncture research field. In view of the results and the discussion reported above, we can state that international collaboration obtains a higher impact, in terms of citations, in contrast with the rest of the types of collaboration. Furthermore, although the research in Electroacupuncture is mainly focused on human research, due to its predominant clinical application, there are differences among collaboration types in animal and mol/cells applied research. Therefore, we provide a new approach to measure another dimension of the research collaboration, the biomedical translation.

description: The relationship between combat stress, DSM-III-defined post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and a variety of behavioral factors was examined in a large nonclinical population. A total of 2858 randomly selected American Legion members who had served in Southeast Asia completed a questionnaire which elicited information on military service, personal health, and a variety of mental health outcomes. The data confirm the utility of the PTSD diagnosis as a distinct clinical entity. The frequency of PTSD and the extent of symptoms developed varied with the severity of criteria used for determining the extent of traumatic exposure. The PTSD rate ranged from 1.8 to 15.0% of the total sample, depending on whether "exposure" to combat was defined relatively narrowly or broadly. A distinct linear dose-response relationship between combat stress and a quantitative measure of PTSD intensity was observed. The frequency of PTSD diagnosis was not affected by the presence of either physical or mental health problems which predated military service. A strong, stable relationship was found between combat stress and PTSD intensity for cohorts with differing intervals since the experience of combat trauma, which persisted up to 20 years after discharge from the military. The data thus support a broader approach to defining traumatic events which recognizes individual differences in response to combat, as well as the existence of other behavioral outcomes as residual effects of combat. Implications of these findings and the importance of treating veterans with varying presentations of PTSD are discussed.

description: We present a General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) based computational program and framework for the electronic dynamics of atomic systems under intense laser fields. We present our results using the case of hydrogen, however the code is trivially extensible to tackle problems within the single-active electron (SAE) approximation. Building on our previous work, we introduce the first available GPGPU based implementation of the Taylor, Runge-Kutta and Lanczos based methods created with strong field ab-initio simulations specifically in mind; CLTDSE. The code makes use of finite difference methods and the OpenCL framework for GPU acceleration. The specific example system used is the classic test system; Hydrogen. After introducing the standard theory, and specific quantities which are calculated, the code, including installation and usage, is discussed in-depth. This is followed by some examples and a short benchmark between an 8 hardware thread (i.e logical core) Intel Xeon CPU and an AMD 6970 GPU, where the parallel algorithm runs 10 times faster on the GPU than the CPU.

description: Local digital algorithms based on $n\times \dots \times n$ configuration counts are commonly used within science for estimating intrinsic volumes from binary images. This paper investigates multigrid convergence of such algorithms. It is shown that local algorithms for intrinsic volumes other than volume are not multigrid convergent on the class of convex polytopes. In fact, counter examples are plenty. On the other hand, for convex particles in 2D with a lower bound on the interior angles, a multigrid convergent local algorithm for the Euler characteristic is constructed. Also on the class of $r$-regular sets, counter examples to multigrid convergence are constructed for the surface area and the integrated mean curvature.

Hölder regularity for domains of fractional powers of elliptic operators with mixed boundary conditions

description: This work is about global Hölder regularity for solutions to elliptic partial differential equations subject to mixed boundary conditions on irregular domains. There are two main results. In the first, we show that if the domain of the realization of an elliptic differential operator in a negative Sobolev space with integrability q > d embeds into a space of Hölder continuous functions, then so do the domains of suitable fractional powers of this operator. The second main result then establishes that the premise of the first is indeed satisfied. The proof goes along the classical techniques of localization, transformation and reflection which allows to fall back to the classical results of Ladyzhenskaya or Kinderlehrer. One of the main features of our approach is that we do not require Lipschitz charts for the Dirichlet boundary part, but only an intriguing metric/measure-theoretic condition on the interface of Dirichlet- and Neumann boundary parts. A similar condition was posed in a related work by ter Elst and Rehberg in 2015 [10], but the present proof is much simpler, if only restricted to space dimension up to 4.

title: The role of hydrothermal activity in the formation of Karst-hosted manganese deposits of the Postmasburg Mn Field, Northern Cape Province, South Africa

description: The Postmasburg Manganese Field (PMF), Northern Cape Province, South Africa, once represented one of the largest sources of manganese ore worldwide. Two belts of manganese ore deposits have been distinguished in the PMF, namely the Western Belt of ferruginous manganese ores and the Eastern Belt of siliceous manganese ores. Prevailing models of ore formation in these two belts invoke karstification of manganese-rich dolomites and residual accumulation of manganese wad which later underwent diagenetic and low-grade metamorphic processes. For the most part, the role of hydrothermal processes and metasomatic alteration towards ore formation has not been adequately discussed. Here we report an abundance of common and some rare Al-, Na-, K- and Ba-bearing minerals, particularly aegirine, albite, microcline, banalsite, sérandite-pectolite, paragonite and natrolite in Mn ores of the PMF, indicative of hydrothermal influence. Enrichments in Na, K and/or Ba in the ores are generally on a percentage level for most samples analysed through bulk-rock techniques. The presence of As-rich tokyoite also suggests the presence of As and V in the hydrothermal fluid. The fluid was likely oxidized and alkaline in nature, akin to a mature basinal brine. Various replacement textures, particularly of Na- and K- rich minerals by Ba-bearing phases, suggest sequential deposition of gangue as well as ore-minerals from the hydrothermal fluid, with Ba phases being deposited at a later stage. The stratigraphic variability of the studied ores and their deviation from the strict classification of ferruginous and siliceous ores in the literature, suggests that a re-evaluation of genetic models is warranted. New Ar-Ar ages for K-feldspars suggest a late Neoproterozoic timing for hydrothermal activity. This corroborates previous geochronological evidence for regional hydrothermal activity that affected Mn ores at the PMF but also, possibly, the high-grade Mn ores of the Kalahari Manganese Field to the north. A revised, all-encompassing model for the development of the manganese deposits of the PMF is then proposed, whereby the source of metals is attributed to underlying carbonate rocks beyond the Reivilo Formation of the Campbellrand Subgroup. The main process by which metals are primarily accumulated is attributed to karstification of the dolomitic substrate. The overlying Asbestos Hills Subgroup banded iron formation (BIF) is suggested as a potential source of alkali metals, which also provides a mechanism for leaching of these BIFs to form high-grade residual iron ore deposits.

description: We present radial velocity measurements of a sample of M5V-M9V stars from our Red-Optical Planet Survey, ROPS, operating at 0.65-1.025 micron. Radial velocities for 15 stars, with r.m.s. precision down to 2.5 m/s over a week long time scale are achieved using Thorium-Argon reference spectra. We are sensitive to planets with m_psin(i) >= 1.5 MEarth (3 MEarth at 2-sigma) in the classical habitable zone and our observations currently rule out planets with m_psin(i) > 0.5 MJup at 0.03 AU for all our targets. A total of 9 of the 15 targets exhibit r.m.s. < 16 m/s, which enables us to rule out the presence of planets with m_psin(i) > 10 MEarth in 0.03 AU orbits. Since the mean rotation velocity is of order 8 km/s for an M6V star and 15 km/s by M9V, we avoid observing only slow rotators that would introduce a bias towards low axial inclination i << 90 deg systems, which are unfavourable for planet detection. Our targets with the highest vsini values exhibit radial velocities significantly above the photon-noise limited precision, even after accounting for vsini. We therefore monitored stellar activity via chromospheric emission from the Halpha and Ca II infrared triplet lines. A clear trend of log_10(Halpha/Lbol) with radial velocity r.m.s. is seen, implying that significant starspot activity is responsible for the observed radial velocity precision floor. The implication that most late M dwarfs are significantly spotted, and hence exhibit time varying line distortions, indicates that observations to detect orbiting planets need strategies to reliably mitigate against the effects of activity induced radial velocity variations.

title: Neural signatures of auditory statistics: a window into auditory computations and their interactions with other modalities
Creators: name: Berto, Martina
Publisher: name: IMT Alti Studi Lucca
Year: 2023

description: The auditory system processes information at high temporal resolutions, extracting fine-grained details from complex sounds. However, this ability comes at a cost as the acoustic information often exceeds memory storage capacity. To keep track of sound changes occurring over several seconds, the auditory system abstracts local features into compact representations (summary statistics). This thesis addresses three questions: (i) whether it is possible to distinguish from neural activity the processing of local features or summary statistics; (ii) whether the brain is endowed with distinct structures for computations based on local features or summary statistics; (iii) whether these basic computations are affected by other sensory modalities. First, we designed a protocol for the EEG. Participants were exposed to streams comprising triplets of synthetic sound excerpts. Two sounds were identical, while the third could vary for its local features or summary statistics. We presented sounds of different durations to manipulate the similarity of statistics measured from the repeated and novel sounds. Results showed that local details and summary statistics are processed automatically and encoded by different neural oscillatory profiles. Second, we collected MEG data with the same protocol and performed source reconstruction of the evoked response to the novel sounds. This analysis revealed functional cortical specializations and hemispheric asymmetries for the processing of computations occurring at high or low temporal resolutions. Third, we tested three groups of individuals, congenitally (CB), late- onset blinds (LB), and sighted controls (SC) in two behavioral experiments. One benefitted from the processing of local features, the other from summary statistics. CB performed as SC in both tasks, showing that both computations can develop independently from vision. Conversely, LB’s performance was impaired when relying on local features, with no alterations in summary statistics processing. These findings suggest an audiovisual interplay selectively for processing auditory details, which emerges only in late development. Overall, these findings demonstrate that the auditory system utilizes distinct neural processes and dedicated brain structures to encode local features and summary statistics of sound and emphasize the role of visual experience in the processing of local features. By unraveling these fundamental aspects of auditory perception, this thesis expands our knowledge in the context of auditory cognition and its complex interplay with other sensory modalities.

description: We propose a statistical modeling technique, called the Hierarchical Association Rule Model (HARM), that predicts a patient’s possible future medical conditions given the patient’s current and past history of reported conditions. The core of our technique is a Bayesian hierarchical model for selecting predictive association rules (such as “condition 1 and condition 2 → condition 3”) from a large set of candidate rules. Because this method “borrows strength” using the conditions of many similar patients, it is able to provide predictions specialized to any given patient, even when little information about the patient’s history of conditions is available.

description: The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term effect of temperature on the risk of acute pancreatitis (AP) in southern China. We performed a time-series study of 2822 patients admitted with a first episode of AP in Nanchang between May 2014 and June 2017. A generalized additive model combined with a distributed lag non-linear model was applied to assess the association of temperature and AP. In subgroup analysis, according to different etiologies of pancreatitis, significant associations were found between daily average temperature and non-biliary pancreatitis hospitalization at lags of 0–7 days, but not for biliary pancreatitis or total AP. Higher daily average temperature tended to increase the occurrence of non-biliary pancreatitis at lags of 0–7 days. These findings suggest that high temperature is associated with higher non-biliary pancreatitis risk in Nanchang, China. In the context of global warming, the morbidity of non-biliary pancreatitis may increase.

A wireless sensor node with a single transmitter antenna and multiple receiver antennas is considered here. We consider M (M greater or equal ro 1) receiver antennas to mitigate channel fading effects. BER performance is analyzed in the presence of a co-channel interference source. Wireless channel is assumed to follow independently Nakagami fading for the wireless sensor network and Rayleigh fading for the interference signal. Based on the derived analytical expressions, the effects of different fading channel and co-channel interference parameters on the BER performance of wireless sensor networks are assessed.

Multimodal communication: commonsense, grounding and computation
Creators: name: Alikhani, Malihe

description: From the gestures that accompany speech to images in social media posts, humans effortlessly combine words with visual presentations. Communication succeeds even though visual and spatial representations are not necessarily wired to syntax and con- ventions, and do not always replicate appearance. Machines, however, are not equipped to understand and generate such presentations due to people’s pervasive reliance on commonsense and world knowledge in relating words and external presentations. I show the potential of discourse modeling for solving the problem of multimodal com- munication. I start with presenting a computational model for diagram understanding, extending linguistics accounts to learn the interpretation of schematic elements such as arrows. I then present a novel framework for modeling and learning a deeper com- bined understanding of text and images by classifying inferential relations to predict temporal, causal, and logical entailments in context. This enables systems to make inferences with high accuracy while revealing author expectations and social-context preferences. I proceed to design methods for generating text based on visual input that use these inferences to provide users with key requested information. The results show a dramatic improvement in the consistency and quality of the generated text by decreasing spurious information by half. Finally, I describe the design of two multi- modal interactive systems that can reason on the context of interactions in the areas of human-robot collaboration and conversational artificial intelligence and describe my research vision: to build human-level communicative systems and grounded artificial intelligence by leveraging the cognitive science of language use.

description: The electromagnetic dipole strength below the neutron-separation energy has been studied for the xenon isotopes with mass numbers A = 124, 128, 132, and 134 in nuclear resonance fluorescence experiments using the ELBE bremsstrahlung facility at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and the HIgS facility at Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory Durham. The systematic study gained new information about the influence of the neutron excess as well as of nuclear deformation on the strength in the region of the pygmy dipole resonance. The results are compared with those obtained for the chain of molybdenum isotopes and with predictions of a random-phase approximation in a deformed basis. It turned out that the effect of nuclear deformation plays a minor role compared with the one caused by neutron excess. A global parametrization of the strength in terms of neutron and proton numbers allowed us to derive a formula capable of predicting the summed E1 strengths in the pygmy region for a wide mass range of nuclides.

description: systemPipeShiny (SPS) extends the widely used systemPipeR (SPR) workflow environment with a versatile graphical user interface provided by a Shiny App. This allows non-R users, such as experimentalists, to run many systemPipeR’s workflow designs, control, and visualization functionalities interactively without requiring knowledge of R. Most importantly, SPS has been designed as a general purpose framework for interacting with other R packages in an intuitive manner. Like most Shiny Apps, SPS can be used on both local computers as well as centralized server-based deployments that can be accessed remotely as a public web service for using SPR’s functionalities with community and/or private data. The framework can integrate many core packages from the R/Bioconductor ecosystem. Examples of SPS’ current functionalities include: (a) interactive creation of experimental designs and metadata using an easy to use tabular editor or file uploader; (b) visualization of workflow topologies combined with auto-generation of R Markdown preview for interactively designed workflows; (d) access to a wide range of data processing routines; (e) and an extendable set of visualization functionalities. Complex visual results can be managed on a 'Canvas Workbench’ allowing users to organize and to compare plots in an efficient manner combined with a session snapshot feature to continue work at a later time. The present suite of pre-configured visualization examples include different methods to plot a count table: PCA, t-SNE and plots of other clustering methods; volcano plots, data mining plots including heatmaps, and more. The modular design of SPR makes it easy to design custom functions without any knowledge of Shiny, as well as extending the environment in the future with contributions from the community.

description: Several rural technology options exist on the sanitation market with different characteristics, yet project failures in some developing countries were attributable to inappropriate technology choices. Frameworks that are used to select sanitation technology options (hard copy, computer programmes) were developed by researchers and project implementers. They vary in design and application as there is no standard format. This appears to create a gap between science and practice. Frameworks should have some key elements needed to select appropriate sanitation technologies. We evaluated 12 available frameworks (2000–2019) used to select sanitation technologies in rural communities of low- and middle-income countries against 22 assessment criteria derived from literature. Criteria that were not fully addressed by some of the reviewed frameworks (scores of 8–50%) included equity, sanitation demand, sanitation behaviour change, ongoing contact, replicability, framework limitations, personnel selection and flexibility. Addressing such limitations may assist in future framework development.

Temporal flooding of regular islands by chaotic wave packets

description: We investigate the time evolution of wave packets in systems with a mixed phase space where regular islands and chaotic motion coexist. For wave packets started in the chaotic sea on average the weight on a quantized torus of the regular island increases due to dynamical tunneling. This flooding weight initially increases linearly and saturates to a value which varies from torus to torus. We demonstrate for the asymptotic flooding weight universal scaling with an effective tunneling coupling for quantum maps and the mushroom billiard. This universality is reproduced by a suitable random matrix model.

description: Yes, I am music. Specifically, I am seven pages of two of the finest little ditties this side of the Thames—or perhaps I should say, around these parts, the Hudson? At least that’s the kind of reputation I used to have. I understand that Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s play The Critic (Drury Lane, 1779) is not the draw that it was in my day, although the British Broadcasting Corporation recorded a performance in 1992 that is available in many libraries through Alexander Street Press’s “Theater in Video” database. A version of my con- tents can be found in Act I, for which I was created by Tommaso Giordano as incidental music. (I do despise that word “incidental.” Clearly I am no mere peripheral occurrence, as I was reprinted and sold in this form, including multiple versions of the same tune for varied domestic pleasure.)
I offer a bit more about the dramatic context of my original presentation, so that you understand my true nature: In Act I, the audience meets several silly characters: Mr. Dangle, a director; Mr. Puff and Mr. Sneer, both critics; and Sir Fretful Plagiary, a playwright. All have convened in Mr. Dangle’s house to put together a show for which they are auditioning musicians. (You see, I hope, that I originate in a play whose plot revolves around the production of plays.) Signor Pasticcio Ritornello arrives with an entourage of performers, having been sent by Lady Rondeau and Mrs. Fuge. It is in this moment that my contents are presented.

description: Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs), in general, are degenerated semiconductors with large electronic band-gap. They have been widely used for display screens, optoelectronic, photonic, and photovoltaic devices due to their unique dual transparent and conductive properties. In this study, we report in detail a technique that we developed to fabricate single crystal TCO nanorod arrays with controlled conductivity, height, and lattice spacing in a simple one-zone tube furnace system. We demonstrate how novel photonic/plasmonic properties can be obtained by selecting unique combinations of these basic parameters of the nano-rod arrays.

description: How can technê both imitate nature, and thus duplicate the model that nature provides, while simultaneously perfecting or accomplishing what nature cannot achieve? Where would technê have learned its skill at fulfilling nature’s ends (and better than nature itself)? How can technê be both disciple and master of physis? The Peripatetic’s competing views about the relationship of physis and technê cannot be consistently reconciled (with apologies to the apologetic Ancient commentators). If technê comes to the aid of physis, and brings physis to completion, then physis cannot be conceived as a simple plenitude or potentiality without lack. Thus the inability of physis to realize its ends without the aid of technê reveals that the relationship of the two cannot be simple subordination. Rather, the relationship is supplementary.
Submanifolds of warped product manifolds $I\times_f S^{m-1}(k)$}} from a $p$-harmonic viewpoint

description: We study $p$-harmonic maps, $p$-harmonic morphisms, biharmonic maps, and quasiregular mappings into submanifolds of warped product Riemannian manifolds ${I}\times_f S^{m-1}(k)\, $ of an open interval and a complete simply-connecteded $(m-1)$-dimensional Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature $k$. We establish an existence theorem for $p$-harmonic maps and give a classification of complete stable minimal surfaces in certain three dimensional warped product Riemannian manifolds ${\bf R}\times_f S^{2}(k)\, ,$ building on our previous work. When $f \equiv\, $ Const. and $k=0$, we recapture a generalized Bernstein Theorem and hence the Classical Bernstein Theorem in $R^3$. We then extend the classification to parabolic stable minimal hypersurfaces in higher dimensions.

Joint relative position and velocity estimation for an anchorless network of mobile nodes

description: Localization is a fundamental challenge for any wireless network of nodes, in particular when the nodes are mobile. We present an extension of the classical Multidimensional scaling (MDS) for an anchorless network of mobile nodes, wherein the solutions to the time-varying relative node positions are shown to lie in the derivatives of the time-varying inter-nodal pairwise distances. Moreover, we show that the relative position of a mobile node at each time instance is only dependent on the initial relative position, relative velocity and a common rotation matrix of the respective node, which are estimated using MDS-like and least squares estimators. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed solutions and the results are presented.

Fitness differences between parthenogenetic litters of the synanthropic scorpion Tityus stigmurus (Scorpiones: Buthidae)

description: Clonal lineages in similar environments may be influenced by non-Mendelian inheritance, such as maternal age effects and developmental instabilities. These mechanisms may affect the developmental fitness of parthenogenetic litters. In this study, the scorpion Tityus stigmurus (Thorell, 1876) was used to analyze the effects of non-Mendelian variation on parthenogenetic litters. A total of 75 juveniles from five females were reared under the same controlled conditions, while their development was observed and evaluated through differences in offspring fitness traits (litter size, prosoma size, developmental time, and mortality) between the litters. First and second litters had a similar litter size, although second litters exhibited longer developmental time in the early instar stages (second and third) than first litters. These results indicate that T. stigmurus females allocated nutrient resources to maximize litter size rather than developmental fitness in subsequent litters. Differences in developmental time found in early instars but not in late instars may have occurred as a result of stochastic developmental variations in young individuals. Such variation in duration of development has the potential to influence survival of juveniles in natural environments because individuals that grow faster may avoid large predators and consume larger prey, compared to those that do not.
Exact results for the low energy AdS(4)XCP(3) string theory

description: We derive the Thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz equations for the relativistic sigma model describing the AdS(4)XCP(3) string II A theory at strong coupling (i.e. in the Alday-Maldacena decoupling limit). The corresponding Y-system involves an infinite number of Y functions and is of a new type, although it shares a peculiar feature with the Y-system for AdS(4)XCP(3). A truncation of the equations at level p and a further generalisation to generic rank N allow us an alternative description of the theory as the N=4, p= \infty representative in an infinite family of models corresponding to the conformal cosets CP(N-1)_p X U(1), perturbed by a relevant composite field ϕ(N,p) =ϕ_[CP(N-1)_p] X ϕ[U(1)] that couples the two independent conformal field theories. The calculation of the ultraviolet central charge confirms the conjecture by Basso and Rej and the conformal dimension of the perturbing operator, at every N and p, is obtained using the Y-system periodicity. The conformal dimension of ϕ[CP(N-1)_p] matches that of the field identified by Fendley while discussing integrability issues for the purely bosonic CP(N-1) sigma model.
