description: We present the first simultaneous analysis of the galaxy overdensity and peculiar velocity fields by modelling their cross-covariance. We apply our new maximum-likelihood approach to data from the 6-degree Field Galaxy Survey (6dFGS), which has the largest single collection of peculiar velocities to date. We present a full derivation of the analytic expression for the cross-covariance between the galaxy overdensity and peculiar velocity fields and find direct evidence for a non-zero correlation between the fields on scales up to $\sim50 h^{-1}$ Mpc. When utilising the cross-covariance, our measurement of the normalised growth rate of structure is $fσ_8(z=0) = 0.424^{+0.067}_{-0.064}$ (15% precision), and our measurement of the redshift-space distortion parameter is $β=0.341^{+0.062}_{-0.058}$ (18% precision). Both measurements improve by $\sim$20% compared to only using the auto-covariance information. This is consistent with the literature on multiple-tracer approaches, as well as Fisher matrix forecasts and previous analyses of 6dFGS. Our measurement of $fσ_8$ is consistent with the standard cosmological model, and we discuss how our approach can be extended to test alternative models of gravity.

description: AI foundation models have the capability to produce a wide array of responses to a single prompt, a feature that is highly beneficial in software engineering to generate diverse code solutions. However, this advantage introduces a significant trade-off between diversity and correctness. In software engineering tasks, diversity is key to exploring design spaces and fostering creativity, but the practical value of these solutions is heavily dependent on their correctness. Our study systematically investigates this trade-off using experiments with HumanEval tasks, exploring various parameter settings and prompting strategies. We assess the diversity of code solutions using similarity metrics from the code clone community. The study identifies combinations of parameters and strategies that strike an optimal balance between diversity and correctness, situated on the Pareto front of this trade-off space. These findings offer valuable insights for software engineers on how to effectively use AI foundation models to generate code solutions that are diverse and accurate.

Detection of the Intrinsic Spin Alignments in Isolated Spiral Pairs

description: An observational evidence for the intrinsic galaxy alignments in isolated spiral pairs is presented. From the catalog of the galaxy groups identified by Tempel et al. in the flux limited galaxy sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 10, we select those groups consisting only of two spiral galaxies as isolated spiral pairs and investigate if and how strongly the spin axes of their two spiral members are aligned with each other. We detect a clear signal of intrinsic spin alignment in the isolated spiral pairs, which leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis at the $99.9999\%$ confidence level via the Rayleigh test. It is also found that those isolated pairs comprising two early-type spiral galaxies exhibit the strongest signal of intrinsic spin alignment and that the strength of the alignment signal depends on the angular separation distance as well as on the luminosity ratio of the member galaxies. Using the dark matter halos consisting of only two subhalos resolved in the EAGLE hydrodynamic simulations, we repeat the same analysis but fail to find any alignment tendency between the spin angular momentum vectors of the stellar components of the subhalos, which is in tension with the observational result. A couple of possible sources of this apparent inconsistency between the observational and the numerical results are discussed.

description: There is vigorous debate regarding the possibility that ADHD is overdiagnosed in boys. We investigated the impact of the gender stereotype depicting boys as inattentive and impulsive on neuropsychological assessment (observation of psychology students and child’s cognitive performance). In experiment 1, after the stereotype was activated, psychology students rated a “boy,” a “girl,” or a “child” on a behavioral assessment scale. In experiment 2, 103 children (boys and girls) completed neuropsychological tasks under stereotype threat or neutral conditions. The gender stereotype led psychology students to assess a child’s behaviors more negatively if they thought the child was a boy. Boys’ performance on one cognitive score declined following stereotype threat. Regression path analyses suggested moderation by stigma consciousness. Additionally, there were mediating and suppressing (through stereotype endorsement) effects. Our results suggest that the gender stereotype might contribute to the overdiagnosis of ADHD in boys.

Hot Leptogenesis from Thermal Dark Matter

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this work, we investigate a scenario in which heavy Majorana Right-Handed Neutrinos (RHNs) are in thermal equilibrium with a dark sector with temperature higher than the Standard Model (SM) thermal bath. Specifically, we consider the scenario in which thermal Dark Matter (DM) abundance is fixed from the freeze-out of DM annihilations into RHNs. Due to the inert nature of the RHNs, we show that it is possible for the two sectors to remain thermally decoupled by having more than two generations of the RHNs. The hotter temperature implies higher abundances of DM and RHNs with the following consequences. For leptogenesis, an enhancement in efficiency up to a factor of 51.6 can be obtained, though a resonant enhancement of CP violation is still required due to an upper mass bound of about 4 TeV for the RHNs. For the DM, an enhanced annihilation cross section up to a factor of 51.6 is required to obtain the correct DM abundance. This scenario can be probed via indirect detection of DM annihilating into RHNs, which then decay into $h\,ν$, $Z\,ν$ and $W^{\pm} \ell^{\mp}$ with an enhanced annihilation cross section above the typical thermal value.

description: Low complexity of a system model is essential for its use in real-time applications. However, sparse identification methods commonly have stringent requirements that exclude them from being applied in an industrial setting. In this paper, we introduce a flexible method for the sparse identification of dynamical systems described by ordinary differential equations. Our method relieves many of the requirements imposed by other methods that relate to the structure of the model and the data set, such as fixed sampling rates, full state measurements, and linearity of the model. The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm is used to solve the identification problem. We show that the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm can be written in a form that enables parallel computing, which greatly diminishes the time required to solve the identification problem. An efficient backward elimination strategy is presented to construct a lean system model.

description: Among the strategies to fight cancer, multi-therapeutic approaches are considered as a wise choice to put in place multiple weapons to suppress tumors. In this work, to combine chemotherapeutic effects to magnetic hyperthermia when using biocompatible scaffolds, we have established an electrospinning method to produce nanofibers of polycaprolactone loaded with magnetic nanoparticles as heat mediators to be selectively activated under alternating magnetic field and doxorubicin as a chemotherapeutic drug. Production of the fibers was investigated with iron oxide nanoparticles of peculiar cubic shape (at 15 and 23 nm in cube edges) as they provide benchmark heat performance under clinical magnetic hyperthermia conditions. With 23 nm nanocubes when included into the fibers, an arrangement in chains was obtained. This linear configuration of magnetic nanoparticles resemble that of the magnetosomes, produced by magnetotactic bacteria, and our magnetic fibers exhibited remarkable heating effects as the magnetosomes. Magnetic fiber scaffolds showed excellent biocompatibility on fibroblast cells when missing the chemotherapeutic agent and when not exposed to magnetic hyperthermia as shown by viability assays. On the contrary, the fibers containing both magnetic nanocubes and doxorubicin showed significant cytotoxic effects on cervical cancer cells following the exposure to magnetic hyperthermia. Notably, these tests were conducted at magnetic hyperthermia field conditions of clinical use. As here shown, on the doxorubicin sensitive cervical cancer cells, the combination of heat damage by magnetic hyperthermia with enhanced diffusion of doxorubicin at therapeutic temperature are responsible for a more effective oncotherapy.

description: We study the quantum properties of an oscillator in proper time. This proper time oscillator is a particle model with mass that is on shell. Its internal time can be treated as a self-adjoint operator. The displaced time and displaced time rate of the oscillator obey an uncertainty relation resembling the one between position and momentum, which is different from the usual energy-time uncertainty relation. In addition, we demonstrate that a matter field with proper time oscillators satisfies the Klein-Gordon equation. It has properties of a zero-spin quantum field. The formulations adopted permits a more symmetrical treatment between time and space in a matter field.

description: Herein we have developed and implemented a TD-DFT-based surface-hopping dynamics simulation method with a recently proposed numerical algorithm capable of efficiently computing nonadiabatic couplings, a semiclassical spectrum simulation method, and an excited-state character analysis method based on one-electron transition density matrix. With the use of these developed methods, we have studied the spectroscopic properties, excited-state characters, and photoinduced relaxation dynamics of three silicon nanoclusters capped with different chromophores (Cl@SiQD, Car@SiQD, Azo@SiQD). Spectroscopically, the main absorption peak is visibly red-shifted from Cl@SiQD via Car@SiQD to Azo@SiQD. In contrast to Cl@SiQD and Car@SiQD, there are two peaks observed in Azo@SiQD. Mechanistically, the excited-state relaxation to the lowest S1 excited singlet state is ultrafast in Cl@SiQD, which is less than 190 fs and without involving excited-state trapping. In comparison, there are clear excited-state trappings in Car@SiQD and Azo@SiQD. In the former, the S2 state is trapped more than 300 fs; in the latter, the S3 excited-state trapping is more than 615 fs. These results demonstrate that the interfacial interaction has significant influences on the spectroscopic properties and excited-state relaxation dynamics. The knowledge gained in this work could be helpful for the design of silicon nanoclusters with better photoluminescence performance.

description: Dilute magnetic semiconductors (DMSs), such as (In, Mn)As and (Ga, Mn)As prototypes, are limited to III–V semiconductors with Curie temperatures (Tc) far from room temperature, thereby hindering their wide application. Here, one kind of DMS based on perovskite niobates is reported. BaMxNb(1−x)O3−δ (M = Fe, Co) powders are prepared by the composite-hydroxide-mediated method. The addition of M elements endows BaMxNb(1−x)O3−δ with local ferromagnetism. The tetragonal BaCoxNb(1−x)O3−δ nanocrystals can be obtained by Co doping, which shows strong saturation magnetization(Msat) of 2.22 emu g−1, a remnant magnetization(Mr) of 0.084 emu g−1 and a small coercive field (Hc) of 167.02 Oe at room temperature. The ab initio calculations indicate that Co doping could lead to a 64% local spin polarization at the Fermi level (EF) with net spin DOS of 0.89 electrons eV−1, this result shows the possibility of maintaining strong ferromagnetism at room temperature. In addition, the trade-off effect between the defect band absorption and ferromagnetic properties of BaMxNb(1−x)O3−δ is verified experimentally and theoretically.

description: The analysis of individual pulses of four rotating radio transients (RRATs), previously discovered in a monitoring survey running for 5.5 years at the frequency of 111 MHz, is presented. At a time interval equivalent to five days of continuous observations for each RRAT, 90, 389, 206, and 157 pulses were detected in J0640+07, J1005+30, J1132+25, and J1336+33, respectively. The investigated RRATs have a different distribution of the pulses amplitude. For J0640+07 and J1132+25, the distribution is described by a single exponent over the entire range of flux densities. For J1005+30 and J1336+33, it is a lognormal function with a power law tail. For J0640+07 and J1005+30, we have detected pulses with a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of few hundreds. For J1132+25 and J1336+33, the S/N of the strongest pulses reaches several tens. These RRATs show strong changing of character of emission. When strengths of pulse amplitudes significantly changed, we see long intervals of absence of emission or its strong attenuation. The analysis carried out in this work shows that it is possible that all the studied RRATs are, apparently, pulsars with giant pulses.

description: The concept of 'Stateless Ethereum' was conceived with the primary aim of mitigating Ethereum's unbounded state growth. The key facilitator of Stateless Ethereum is through the introduction of 'witnesses' into the ecosystem. The changes and potential consequences that these additional data packets pose on the network need to be identified and analysed to ensure that the Ethereum ecosystem can continue operating securely and efficiently. In this paper we propose a Bayesian Network model, a probabilistic graphical modelling approach, to capture the key factors and their interactions in Ethereum mainnet, the public Ethereum blockchain, focussing on the changes being introduced by Stateless Ethereum to estimate the health of the resulting Ethereum ecosystem. We use a mixture of empirical data and expert knowledge, where data are unavailable, to quantify the model. Based on the data and expert knowledge available to use at the time of modelling, the Ethereum ecosystem is expected to remain healthy following the introduction of Stateless Ethereum.

description: A cosmic lepton asymmetry $η_{\text{l}}=(n_{\text{l}}-n_{\bar{\text{l}}})/n_γ$ affects the primordial helium abundance and the expansion rate of the early Universe. Both of these effects have an impact on the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We derive constraints on the neutrino chemical potentials from the Planck 2015 data, assuming equal lepton flavour asymmetries and negligible neutrino masses. We find $ξ=-0.002 ^{+0.114}_{-0.111}$ (95\% CL) for the chemical potentials, which corresponds to $ -0.085 \leq η_{\text{l}} \leq 0.084$. Our constraints on the lepton asymmetry are significantly stronger than previous constraints from CMB data analysis and we argue that they are more robust than those from primordial light element abundances. The resulting constraints on the primordial helium and deuterium abundances are consistent with those from direct measurements.

description: We report a comprehensive study of single crystals of the noncentrosymmetric rare-earth compound EuPtSi$_{3}$ grown by the optical floating-zone technique. Measurements of the magnetization, ac susceptibility, and specific heat consistently establish antiferromagnetic order of localized Eu$^{2+}$ moments below the Néel temperature $T_{\mathrm{N}} = 17~\mathrm{K}$, followed by a second magnetic transition at $T_{\mathrm{N1}} = 16~\mathrm{K}$. For a magnetic field along the easy $[001]$ axis, the magnetic phase diagram is composed of these two phases. For fields applied in the magnetically hard basal plane, two additional phases emerge under magnetic field, where the in-plane anisotropy is weak with $[100]$ being the hardest axis. At the phase transitions, the magnetic properties exhibit hysteresis and discrepancies between differential and ac susceptibility, suggesting slow reorientation processes of mesoscale magnetic textures. Consistently, powder and single-crystal neutron diffraction in zero field identify magnetic textures that are modulated on a length scale of the order of $100~\textrm{Å}$, most likely in the form of Néel-type antiferromagnetic cycloids.

First it is shown that, if geometrically well-motivated restrictions are placed on the supports of the (smooth) initial datum and of the (smooth) inhomogeneous term, then there exists a continuous global solution which is smooth "on each side" of the initial value hypersurface. A uniqueness result in Sobolev regularity $H^{1/2+\varepsilon}_\mathrm{loc}$ is proved among solutions supported in the union of the causal past and future of the initial value hypersurface, and whose product with the indicator function of the causal future (resp. past) of the hypersurface is past compact (resp. future compact). An explicit representation formula for solutions is obtained, which prominently features an invariantly defined, densitised version of the null expansion of the hypersurface. Finally, applications to quantum field theory on curved spacetimes are briefly discussed.

description: This study is aimed to explore the key role of miR-361-5p in fibroblast-like synovial (FLS) cells of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and explore the underlying mechanism. First, we performed RT-qPCR to evaluate the expression of miR-361-5p in both synovial tissues of RA patients and cultured RA-FLS cells. Then CCK-8 assay, EdU staining, Western blot, flow cytometry, and ELISA were conducted to estimate the influence of inhibiting miR-361-5p on RA-FLS cells. Moreover, we used bioinformatics analysis to predict the potential targets of miR-361-5p and perform a dual luciferase report assay for verification. Finally, rescue experiments were performed to prove the role of miR-361-5p/Zinc Finger And BTB Domain Containing 10 (ZBTB10) in the proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis of RA-FLS. We find that the expression of miR-361-5p is increased in both RA tissues and cultured RA-FLS cells. The inhibition of miR-361-5p can not only inhibit proliferation, arrest the cell cycle in G1/G0 phase, and increase apoptosis, but also reduce the inflammatory factors secreted by RA-FLS cells. In addition, ZBTB10 is a direct target for miR-361-5p, over-expression of ZBTB10 reverses the effect of miR-361-5p in RA-FLS. MiR-361-5p promotes the progression of rheumatoid arthritis by targeting ZBTB10.Key pointsThe influences of miR-361-5p on RA-FLS cells. The influences of miR-361-5p on RA-FLS cells.

description: Magnetic fields, compressibility and turbulence are important factors in many terrestrial and astrophysical processes. While energy dynamics, i.e. how energy is transferred within and between kinetic and magnetic reservoirs, has been previously studied in the context of incompressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence, we extend shell-to-shell energy transfer analysis to the compressible regime. We derive four new transfer functions specifically capturing compressibility effects in the kinetic and magnetic cascade, and capturing energy exchange via magnetic pressure. To illustrate their viability, we perform and analyze four simulations of driven isothermal MHD turbulence in the sub- and supersonic regime with two different codes. On the one hand, our analysis reveals robust characteristics across regime and numerical method. For example, energy transfer between individual scales is local and forward for both cascades with the magnetic cascade being stronger than the kinetic one. Magnetic tension and magnetic pressure related transfers are less local and weaker than the cascades. We find no evidence for significant nonlocal transfer. On the other hand, we show that certain functions, e.g., the compressive component of the magnetic energy cascade, exhibit a more complex behavior that varies both with regime and numerical method. Having established a basis for the analysis in the compressible regime, the method can now be applied to study a broader parameter space.

description: With the development of pre-trained language models, the dense retrieval models have become promising alternatives to the traditional retrieval models that rely on exact match and sparse bag-of-words representations. Different from most dense retrieval models using a bi-encoder to encode each query or document into a dense vector, the recently proposed late-interaction multi-vector models (i.e., ColBERT and COIL) achieve state-of-the-art retrieval effectiveness by using all token embeddings to represent documents and queries and modeling their relevance with a sum-of-max operation. However, these fine-grained representations may cause unacceptable storage overhead for practical search systems. In this study, we systematically analyze the matching mechanism of these late-interaction models and show that the sum-of-max operation heavily relies on the co-occurrence signals and some important words in the document. Based on these findings, we then propose several simple document pruning methods to reduce the storage overhead and compare the effectiveness of different pruning methods on different late-interaction models. We also leverage query pruning methods to further reduce the retrieval latency. We conduct extensive experiments on both in-domain and out-domain datasets and show that some of the used pruning methods can significantly improve the efficiency of these late-interaction models without substantially hurting their retrieval effectiveness.

description: Predictions of short-term directional movement of the futures contract can be challenging as its pricing is often based on multiple complex dynamic conditions. This work presents a method for predicting the short-term directional movement of an underlying futures contract. We engineered a set of features from technical analysis, order flow, and order-book data. Then, Tabnet, a deep learning neural network, is trained using these features. We train our model on the Silver Futures Contract listed on Shanghai Futures Exchange and achieve an accuracy of 0.601 on predicting the directional change during the selected period.

description: A synthetic Fast-Ion Loss Detector (FILD) and an imaging Heavy Ion Beam Probe (i-HIBP) have been implemented in the 3D hybrid kinetic-magnetohydrodynamic code MEGA. First synthetic measurements from these two diagnostics have been obtained for neutral beam injection (NBI) driven Alfvén Eigenmode (AE) simulated with MEGA. The synthetic fast-ion losses show a strong correlation with the AE amplitude. This correlation is observed in the phase-space, represented in coordinates toroidal canonical momentum and energy. Fast-ion losses and the energy exchange diagrams of the confined population are connected with lines of constant E' , a linear combination of E and Pϕ . First i-HIBP synthetic signals also have been computed for the simulated AE, showing displacements in the strikeline of the order of around 1 mm, above the expected resolution in the i-HIBP scintillator of approximately 100 μm.

description: We investigate the ability of dimerized spin chains with defects to generate EPR pairs to very high fidelity through their natural dynamics. We propose two protocols based on different initializations of the system, which yield the same maximally entangled Bell state after a characteristic time. This entangling time can be varied through engineering the weak/strong couplings' ratio of the chain, with larger values giving rise to an exponentially faster quantum entangling operation. We demonstrate that there is a set of characteristic values of the coupling, for which the entanglement generated remains extremely high. We investigate the robustness of both protocols to diagonal and off-diagonal disorder. Our results demonstrate extremely strong robustness to both perturbation types, up to strength of 50% of the weak coupling. Robustness to disorder can be further enhanced by increasing the coupling ratio. The combination of these properties makes the use of our proposed device suitable for the rapid and robust generation of Bell states in quantum information processing applications.

description: By means of the Lie algebra expansion method, the centrally extended conformal algebra in two dimensions and the $\mathfrak{bms}_{3}$ algebra are obtained from the Virasoro algebra. We extend this result to construct new families of expanded Virasoro algebras that turn out to be infinite dimensional lifts of the so-called $\mathfrak{B}_{k}$, $\mathfrak{C}_{k}$ and $\mathfrak{D}_{k}$ algebras recently introduced in the literature in the context of (super)gravity. We also show how some of these new infinite-dimensional symmetries can be obtained from expanded Kač-Moody algebras using modified Sugawara constructions. Applications in the context of three-dimensional gravity are briefly discussed.

description: Information on the effects of distance from the seashore on soil biotic communities is limited and restricted to soil arthropods and microarthropods. The aim of this study, conducted in a sand-dune area, was to distinguish the changes of a ground-active arthropod community along a 4-km-transect from the seashore going inland. Pitfall traps were set up in open spaces at four locations (L1, through L2, L3, and L4 going inland) through the year. The abiotic gradient from the seashore going inland was found to be mostly dependent on seasonality. Group richness was found to be remarkably greater at the L2, L3, and L4 locations compared with the L1 location in winter, and at the L2 and L3 locations compared with the L1 location in spring. The Fisher α index was 0.32 ± 0.21, 3.51 ± 0.87, 5.04 ± 0.70, and 4.86 ± 0.54 in winter and 3.29 ± 0.55, 13.79 ± 1.49, 10.12 ± 1.24, and 5.06 ± 0.62 in spring at the L1, L2, L3, and L4 locations, respectively. Regarding abundance and group richness, the trophic relationships between predators, phytophages, omnivores, and saprophages were remarkably affected by both location and seasonality. The dominant groups and dominant index distribution of ground-active arthropod communities were found to follow a similar pattern. Soil organic carbon content was found to be the key factor driving the ground-active arthropod community structure along a coastal gradient going inland in winter and spring. We conclude that the distribution, trophic composition, and diversity index are affected by both location and seasonality, while total abundance is consistently affected by location across all three seasons.
