description: In this article, we study the quantum field theoretic generalization of the Caldeira-Leggett model in general curved space-time considering interactions between two scalar fields in a classical gravitational background. The thermalization phenomena is then studied from the obtained de Sitter solution using quantum quench from one scalar field model obtained from path integrated effective action. We consider an instantaneous quench in the time-dependent mass protocol of the field of our interest. We find that the dynamics of the field post-quench can be described in terms of the state of the generalized Calabrese-Cardy (gCC) form and computed the different types of two-point correlation functions in this context. We explicitly found the conserved charges of algebra that represents the gCC state after a quench in de Sitter space and found it to be significantly different from the flat space-time results. We extend our study for the different two-point correlation functions not only considering the pre-quench state as the ground state, but also a squeezed state. We found that irrespective of the pre-quench state, the post quench state can be written in terms of the gCC state showing that the subsystem of our interest thermalizes in de Sitter space. Furthermore, we provide a general expression for the two-point correlators and explicitly show the thermalization process by considering a thermal Generalized Gibbs ensemble (GGE). Finally, from the equal time momentum dependent counterpart of the obtained results for the two-point correlators, we have studied the hidden features of the power spectra and studied its consequences for different choices of the quantum initial conditions.
A Sequent Calculus for Counterfactual Reasoning (CMU-CyLab-17-003)

description: Counterfactual conditions such as “if A were not true, then C would not have been true” have been formally studied by philosophers for causal claims for decades. Counterfactuals are often used informally in practice for diagnosing systems and identifying errors or misconfigurations. This paper develops a proof theory for counterfactual reasoning of Horn clauses, which have applications in domains including security and database and program analysis. The application to security that this paper focuses on is modeling and reasoning about probing attacks in Datalog-based trust management systems, where an attacker can apply counterfactual reasoning to obtain sensitive information embedded in the system. Our work is inspired by a Hilbert style axiomatized system for counterfactual reasoning for Horn clauses, which are hard to use to construct proofs or study properties of the system. To alleviate this difficulty, we develop a sequent calculus from first principles. We show that the sequent calculus has cut elimination and is sound and complete with regard to the corresponding Hilbert style axiomatized system. We also show how to construct proofs that model practical counterfactual reasoning scenarios in trust management systems using our sequent calculus rules.

description: Having a tool to monitor the microbial abundances rapidly and to utilize the data to predict the reactor performance would facilitate the operation of an anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR). This study aims to achieve the aforementioned scenario by developing a linear regression model that incorporates a time-lagging mode. The model uses low nucleic acid (LNA) cell numbers and the ratio of high nucleic acid (HNA) to LNA cells as an input data set. First, the model was trained using data sets obtained from a 35 L pilot-scale AnMBR. The model was able to predict the chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency and methane production 3.5 days in advance. Subsequent validation of the model using flow cytometry (FCM)-derived data (at time t – 3.5 days) obtained from another biologically independent reactor did not exhibit any substantial difference between predicted and actual measurements of reactor performance at time t. Further cell sorting, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and correlation analysis partly attributed this accurate prediction to HNA genera (e.g., Anaerovibrio and unclassified Bacteroidales) and LNA genera (e.g., Achromobacter, Ochrobactrum, and unclassified Anaerolineae). In summary, our findings suggest that HNA and LNA cell routine enumeration, along with the trained model, can derive a fast approach to predict the AnMBR performance.

description: Angiogenesis is a key process in embryonic development, a disruption of this process can lead to severe developmental defects, such as limb malformations. The identification of molecular perturbations representative of antiangiogenesis in zebrafish embryo (ZFE) may guide the assessment of developmental toxicity from an endpoint- to a mechanism-based approach, thereby improving the extrapolation of findings to humans. Thus, the aim of the study was to discover molecular changes characteristic of antiangiogenesis and developmental toxicity. We exposed ZFEs to two antiangiogenic drugs (SU4312, sorafenib) and two developmental toxicants (methotrexate, rotenone) with putative antiangiogenic action. Molecular changes were measured by performing untargeted metabolomics in single embryos. The metabolome response was accompanied by the occurrence of morphological alterations. Two distinct metabolic effect patterns were observed. The first pattern comprised common effects of two specific angiogenesis inhibitors and the known teratogen methotrexate, strongly suggesting a shared mode of action of antiangiogenesis and developmental toxicity. The second pattern involved joint effects of methotrexate and rotenone, likely related to disturbances in energy metabolism. The metabolites of the first pattern, such as phosphatidylserines, pterines, retinol, or coenzyme Q precursors, represented potential links to antiangiogenesis and related developmental toxicity. The metabolic effect pattern can contribute to biomarker identification for a mechanism-based toxicological testing.

description: Pathological lesions and inflammatory cell infiltrations in the placenta associated with abortion in cattle do not appear to be so severe or diffuse as to suggest that inflammatory or immunological responses are responsible for the expulsion of the fetus. A failure of trophoblast to secrete progesterone and other steroid hormones, as a result of degeneration or necrosis related to infection increases the excitability of the myometrium. Uterine contractions expel the fetus in the absence of the hormonal cascade which normally controls the fetal ejection reflex.

description: We present an iterative algorithm for enforcing policies represented in a first-order logic, which can, in particular, express all transmission-related clauses in the HIPAA Privacy Rule. The logic has three features that raise challenges for enforcement -- uninterpreted predicates (used to model subjective concepts in privacy policies), real-time temporal properties, and quantification over infifinite domains (such as the set of messages containing personal information).The algorithm operates over audit logs that are inherently incomplete and evolve over time. In each iteration, the algorithm provably checks as much of the policy as possible over the current log and outputs a residual policy that can only be checked when the log is extended with additional information. We prove correctness and termination properties of the algorithm. While these results are developed in a general form, accounting for many different sources of incompleteness in audit logs, we also prove that for the special case of logs that maintain a complete record of all relevant actions, the algorithm effectively enforces all safety and co-safety properties. The algorithm can significantly help automate enforcement of policies derived from the HIPAA Privacy Rule.

description: We study Z(2) lattice gauge theory on triangulations of a compact 3-manifold. We reformulate the theory algebraically, describing it in terms of the structure constants of a bidimensional vector space H equipped with algebra and coalgebra structures, and prove that in the low-temperature limit H reduces to a Hopf Algebra, in which case the theory becomes equivalent to a topological field theory. The degeneracy of the ground state is shown to be a topological invariant. This fact is used to compute the zeroth- and first-order terms in the low-temperature expansion of Z for arbitrary triangulations. In finite temperatures, the algebraic reformulation gives rise to new duality relations among classical spin models, related to changes of basis of H.

description: The paper “The Khthon Installation and Aspects of the Sublime” is part of my Master's thesis submitted to the School of Drama, of the Faculty of Fine Arts, of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (with a specialisation in Scenography). This paper presents the research that laid the theoretical foundations and led to conceiving the first part of the thesis, the installation “Khthon”. The central concept running through this thesis is that of the sublime, which is examined in terms of its basic meanings on a philosophical and aesthetic level. Furthermore, this paper traces the aesthetics of the sublime in modern and contemporary art through examples of visual artworks. Identifying the modern and contemporary aspects of the aesthetics of the sublime, provided the primary conceptual framework for conceiving the “Khthon” installation. The paper shows how these aspects, together with the other ideas that led to the conception and spatial narrative of the installation, determined the design and creation of the “Khthon” installation. Finally, the paper presents the process of the construction of the “Khthon” installation and its final realisation through visual material.

description: HfO2-based thin films hold huge promise for integrated devices as they show full compatibility with semiconductor technologies and robust ferroelectric properties at nanometer scale. While their polarization switching behavior has been widely investigated, their electromechanical response received much less attention so far. Here, we demonstrate that piezoelectricity in Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 ferroelectric capacitors is not an invariable property but, in fact, can be intrinsically changed by electrical field cycling. Hf0.5Zr0.5O2 capacitors subjected to ac cycling undergo a continuous transition from a positive effective piezoelectric coefficient d33 in the pristine state to a fully inverted negative d33 state, while, in parallel, the polarization monotonically increases. Not only can the sign of d33 be uniformly inverted in the whole capacitor volume, but also, with proper ac training, the net effective piezoresponse can be nullified while the polarization is kept fully switchable. Moreover, the local piezoresponse force microscopy signal also gradually goes through the zero value upon ac cycling. Density functional theory calculations suggest that the observed behavior is a result of a structural transformation from a weakly-developed polar orthorhombic phase towards a well-developed polar orthorhombic phase. The calculations also suggest the possible occurrence of a non-piezoelectric ferroelectric Hf0.5Zr0.5O2. Our experimental findings create an unprecedented potential for tuning the electromechanical functionality of ferroelectric HfO2-based devices.

description: Higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet during pregnancy is related to a lower risk of preterm birth and to better offspring cardiometabolic health. DNA methylation may be an underlying biological mechanism. We evaluated whether maternal adherence to the Mediterranean diet was associated with offspring cord blood DNA methylation. We meta-analysed epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of maternal adherence to the Mediterranean diet during pregnancy and offspring cord blood DNA methylation in 2802 mother–child pairs from five cohorts. We calculated the relative Mediterranean diet (rMED) score with range 0–18 and an adjusted rMED excluding alcohol (rMEDp, range 0–16). DNA methylation was measured using Illumina 450K arrays. We used robust linear regression modelling adjusted for child sex, maternal education, age, smoking, body mass index, energy intake, batch, and cell types. We performed several functional analyses and examined the persistence of differential DNA methylation into childhood (4.5–7.8 y). rMEDp was associated with cord blood DNA methylation at cg23757341 (0.064% increase in DNA methylation per 1-point increase in the rMEDp score, SE = 0.011, P = 2.41 × 10−8). This cytosine–phosphate–guanine (CpG) site maps to WNT5B, associated with adipogenesis and glycaemic phenotypes. We did not identify associations with childhood gene expression, nor did we find enriched biological pathways. The association did not persist into childhood. In this meta-analysis, maternal adherence to the Mediterranean diet (excluding alcohol) during pregnancy was associated with cord blood DNA methylation level at cg23757341. Potential mediation of DNA methylation in associations with offspring health requires further study.

description: The combined effects of high ambient air temperature, relative humidity, and solar radiation have profound effects on milk yield, growth, reproduction, and cow health. In the lactating cow, total body heat load is significantly escalated by an increase in metabolically-derived heat associated with milk production. Whenever heat gain is greater than heat loss body temperature rises, heat stress results and performance is proportionally reduced.

E8 Gauge Theory and Gerbes in String Theory

description: The reduction of the E8 gauge theory to ten dimensions leads to a loop group, which in relation to twisted K-theory has a Dixmier-Douady class identified with the Neveu-Schwarz H-field. We give an interpretation of the degree two part of the eta-form by comparing the adiabatic limit of the eta invariant with the one loop term in type IIA. More generally, starting with a G-bundle, the comparison for manifolds with String structure identifies G with E8 and the representation as the adjoint, due to an interesting appearance of the dual Coxeter number. This makes possible a description in terms of a generalized WZW model at the critical level. We also discuss the relation to the index gerbe, the possibility of obtaining such bundles from loop space, and the symmetry breaking to finite-dimensional bundles. We discuss the implications of this and we give several proposals.

description: The NASA MODIS MOD10A1 snow albedo product has enabled numerous glaciological applications. The temporal consistency of MODIS albedo is critical to obtaining reliable results from this 22-year time series. The orbit of Terra began to drift toward earlier acquisition times after the final inclination adjustment maneuver to maintain its nominal orbit by NASA on 27 February 2020, which may introduce biases that compromise the accuracy of quantitative time series analysis as the drift continues. Here, we evaluate the impact of Terra's orbital drift by comparing the differences between the Terra MODIS albedo and albedo products derived from Aqua MODIS, harmonized Landsat and Sentinel 2, Sentinel 3, and PROMICE (Programme for Monitoring of the Greenland Ice Sheet) ground measurements over the Greenland ice sheet. Our results suggest that the influence of orbital drift on albedo is small (+0.01 in 2020), but potentially biased for time series analysis. Our analysis also finds that the drift effect that causes earlier image acquisition time may lead to more apparently cloudy pixels and thus effectively reduce the Terra MODIS temporal resolution over Greenland.

description: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for pancreatic cancer requires a skillful approach to deliver ablative doses to the tumor while limiting dose to the highly sensitive duodenum, stomach, and small bowel. Here, we develop knowledge-based artificial neural network dose models (ANN-DMs) to predict dose distributions that would be approved by experienced physicians. Using dose distributions calculated by a commercial treatment planning system (TPS), physician-approved treatment plans were used to train ANN-DMs that could predict physician-approved dose distributions based on a set of geometric parameters (vary from voxel to voxel) and plan parameters (constant across all voxels for a given patient). Differences between TPS and ANN-DM dose distributions were used to evaluate model performance. ANN-DM design, including neural network structure and parameter choices, were evaluated to optimize dose model performance. Mean dose errors were less than 5% at all distances from the PTV, and mean absolute dose errors were on the order of 5%, but no more than 10%. Dose-volume histogram errors demonstrated good model performance above 25 Gy, but much larger errors were seen at lower doses. ANN-DM dose distributions showed excellent overall agreement with TPS dose distributions, and accuracy was substantially improved when each physician's treatment approach was taken into account by training their own dedicated models. In this manner, one could feasibly train ANN-DMs that could predict the dose distribution desired by a given physician for a given treatment site.

This organizing perspective is particularly sensitive to (1) a variety of forms and practices of sustainable organizing in different societal spheres and on different levels, (2) the social institutions, logics and value systems in which these forms and practices are embedded, (3) the power and politics of promoting (or blocking) sustainable organization, and (4) the ways in which work, voice, participation, and inclusion are organized and contribute to developing societal capabilities. These features formed the basis of our original call for papers and we review selected literature on sustainability, including the contribution of organization studies and the articles in this Special Issue, through this organizing perspective. In so doing we identify four key themes of a future research agenda that builds from the foundations of existing research and addresses key current limitations in both theory and practice: sustainability requires social justice; connecting local and global scale shifts; democratizing governance; and acting collectively. We conclude with some implications for our own scholarship in organization studies if we are to meet the twin challenges of the need for new theorizing in combination with devising practically relevant support for change.

description: Context. Important information on the evolution of the jet can be obtained by comparing the physical state of the plasma at its propagation through the broad-line region (where the jet is most likely formed) into the intergalactic medium, where it starts to significantly decelerate. Aims. We compare the constraints on the physical parameters in the innermost ($\leq$ pc) and outer ($\geq$ kpc) regions of the 3C 120 jet by means of a detailed multiwavelength analysis and theoretical modeling of their broadband spectra. Methods.The data collected by Fermi LAT, Swift and Chandra are analyzed together and the spectral energy distributions are modeled using a leptonic synchrotron and inverse Compton model, taking into account the seed photons originating inside and outside of the jet. The model parameters are estimated using the MCMC method. Results. The $γ$-ray flux from the inner jet of 3C 120 was characterized by rapid variation from MJD 56900 to MJD 57300. Two strong flares were observed on April 24, 2015 when, within 19.0 minutes and 3.15 hours the flux was as high as $(7.46\pm1.56)\times10^{-6}photon\:cm^{-2}\:s^{-1}$ and $(4.71\pm0.92)\times10^{-6}photon\:cm^{-2}\:s^{-1}$ respectively. The broadband emission in the quiet and flaring states can be described as SSC emission while IC scattering of dusty torus photons cannot be excluded for the flaring states. The X-ray emission from the knots can be well reproduced by IC scattering of CMB photons only if the jet is highly relativistic (since even when $δ=10$ still $U_{\rm e}/U_B\geq80$). These extreme requirements can be somewhat softened assuming the X-rays are from the synchrotron emission of a second population of very-high-energy electrons. Conclusions. We found that the jet power estimated at two scales is consistent, suggesting that the jet does not suffer severe dissipation, it simply becomes radiatively inefficient.

Studies on the pathogenesis of fatty liver in cows
Creators: name: Holtenius, Paul
name: Hjort, Maj
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1990

description: Increased fat mobilization in early lactation in cows is described by many authors. Energy deficit in connection with the start of milk secretion is considered to be of importance as cause of the lipolysis. One consequence of increased mobilization of body fat can be development of a fatty liver. In an in vitro of lipid metabolism in bovine adipose tissue McNamara and Hillers have shown that there is an adaptation in prepartum. There is a strong reduction in lipogenesis and esterification and increase in norepinephrine- and epinephrine-stimulated free fatty acid release. The lipoprotein lipase activity in adipose tissue decreases and increases in the mammary gland. This metabolic shift precedes the energy demand for lactation and is stimulated by prolactin and inhibited by progesterone. At two months postpartum there is a dramatic rebound in lipogenesis and esterification. Besides the increased transport of fatty acids to the liver near partus, decreased removal of fat from the liver can be of importance in the development of fatty liver. The aim of the present investigation was to elucidate the pathogenesis of fatty liver in cows by analysing serum lipoproteins and plasma lipids in normal cows round partus on different prepartum feeding and in cows with fatty liver.

description: For the CLIC two-beam scheme, a high-current, long-pulse drive beam is required for RF power generation. Taking advantage of the 3 GHz klystrons available at the LEP injector once LEP stops, a 180 MeV electron accelerator is being constructed for a nominal beam current of 3.5 A and 1.5 microsecond pulse length. The high current requires highly effective suppression of dipolar wakes. Two concepts are investigated for the accelerating structure design: the "Tapered Damped Structure" developed for the CLIC main beam, and the "Slotted Iris - Constant Aperture" structure. Both use 4 SiC loads per cell for effective higher-order mode damping. A full-size prototype of the TDS structure has been built and tested successfully at full power. A first prototype of the SICA structure is being built.

A Logic of Secure Systems and its Application to Trusted Computing (CMU-CyLab-09-001)

description: We present a logic for reasoning about properties of secure systems. The logic is built around a concurrent programming language with constructs for modeling machines with shared memory, a simple form of access control on memory, machine resets, cryptographic operations, network communication, and dynamically loading and executing unknown (and potentially untrusted) code. The adversary’s capabilities are constrained by the system interface as defined in the programming model (leading to the name CSI-ADVERSARY). We develop a sound proof system for reasoning about programs without explicitly reasoning about adversary actions. We use the logic to characterize trusted computing primitives and prove code integrity and execution integrity properties of two remote attestation protocols. The proofs make precise assumptions needed for the security of these protocols and reveal an insecure interaction between the two protocols.

Subjects: subject: 80303 Computer System Security

description: While past work has examined password usage on a specific computer, web site, or organization, there is little work examining overall password usage in daily life. Through a diary study, we examine all usage of passwords, and offer some new findings based on quantitative analyses regarding how often people log in, where they log in, and how frequently people use foreign computers. Our analysis also confirms or updates existing statistics about password usage patterns. We also discuss some implications for design as well as security education.
Competition of striped magnetic order and partial Kondo screened state in the Kondo lattice model

description: We analyze the magnetically ordered phases in the Kondo lattice model on a square lattice around quarter filling using the dynamical mean field theory. We find that close to quarter filling besides the paramagnetic phase, at least three magnetic phases compete. These phases are a ferromagnetic state, a partial Kondo screened state, which is a combination of charge order and magnetic order, and a striped magnetic phase, which is ferromagnetically ordered in one direction and antiferromagnetically in the other direction. We analyze the spectral properties of these states and show that the PKS state is insulating with a flat band above the Fermi energy, while the other states are metallic. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the energy gain by the Kondo effect is larger in the PKS state, while the striped magnetic state can gain more energy from the RKKY interaction. Thus, while the striped magnetic state is stable at weak coupling, the PKS state becomes stable at intermediate coupling.

description: Edge states of photonic crystals have attracted much attention for the potential applications such as high transmission waveguide bends, spin dependent splitters and one-way photonic circuits. Here, we theoretically discuss and experimentally observe the deterministic edge states in checkerboard photonic crystals. Due to the self-complementarity of checkerboard photonic crystals, a common band gap is structurally protected between two photonic crystals with different unit cells. Deterministic edge states are found inside the common band gap by exploiting the Zak phase analysis and surface impedance calculation. These edge states are also confirmed by a microwave experiment.

Hoof trimming made easy
Creators: name: Anderson, John F.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1990

description: One segment of herd health that is being almost totally ignored is hoof trimming. An individual or two should be professionally trained to trim feet and be part of a dairy practice group. Hoof trimming, as it is presently performed, can be markedly improved because this procedure often predisposes animals to lameness when it is not properly performed.
