description: Key-exchange protocols have been overlooked as a possible means for implementing oblivious transfer (OT). In this paper we present a protocol for mutual exchange of secrets, 1-out-of-2 OT and coin flipping similar to Diffie-Hellman protocol using the idea of obliviously exchanging encryption keys. Since, Diffie-Hellman scheme is widely used, our protocol may provide a useful alternative to the conventional methods for implementation of oblivious transfer and a useful primitive in building larger cryptographic schemes.

description: (Abridged) We have discovered a strong DLA coincident in redshift with the faint QSO Q2343-BX415 (R = 20.2, z_em = 2.57393). Follow-up observations at intermediate spectral resolution reveal that the metal lines associated with this 'proximate' DLA consist of two sets of absorption components. One set is moving towards the quasar with velocities of ~ 150-600 km/s; this gas is highly ionized and does not fully cover the continuum source, suggesting that it is physically close to the active nucleus. The other, which accounts for most of the neutral gas, is blueshifted relative to the QSO, with the strongest component at ~ -160 km/s. We consider the possibility that the PDLA arises in the outflowing interstellar medium of the host galaxy of Q2343-BX415, an interpretation supported by strong C IV and N V absorption at nearby velocities, and by the intense radiation field longward of the Lyman limit implied by the high C II*/H I ratio. If Q2343-BX415 is the main source of these UV photons, then the PDLA is located at either ~ 8 or ~ 37 kpc from the active nucleus. Alternatively, the absorber may be a foreground star-forming galaxy unrelated to the quasar and coincidentally at the same redshift, but our deep imaging and follow-up spectroscopy of the field of Q2343-BX415 has not yet produced a likely candidate. We measure the abundances of 14 elements in the PDLA, finding an overall metallicity of ~ 1/5 solar and a normal pattern of relative element abundances for this metallicity. Thus, in this PDLA there is no evidence for the super-solar metallicities that have been claimed for some proximate, high ionization, systems.

description: By considering the product of the usual four dimensional spacetime with two dimensional space of constant curvature, an interesting black hole solution has recently been found for Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity. It turns out that this as well as all others could easily be made to radiate Vaidya null dust. However there exists no Kerr analogue in this setting. To get the physical feel of the four dimensional black hole spacetimes, we study asymptotic behavior of stresses at the two ends, $r\to0$ and $r\to\infty$.

description: The formation of drops of a complex fluid, for instance including dissolved polymers and/or solid particles, has practical implications in several industrial and biophysical processes. In this Letter, we experimentally investigate the generation of drops of a viscoelastic suspension, made of non-Brownian spherical particles dispersed in a dilute polymer solution. Using high-speed imaging, we characterize the different stages of the detachment. Our experiments show that the particles primarily affect the initial Newtonian necking by increasing the fluid viscosity. In the viscoelastic regime, particles do not affect the thinning until the onset of the blistering instability, which they accelerate. We find that the transition from one regime to another, which corresponds to the coil-stretch transition of the polymer chains, strongly depends on the particle content. Considering that the presence of rigid particles increase the deformation of the liquid phase, we propose an expression for the local strain rate in the suspension, which rationalizes our experimental results. This method could enable the precise measurement of local stresses in particulate suspensions.

description: Memristor crossbar arrays are used in a wide range of in-memory and neuromorphic computing applications. However, memristor devices suffer from non-idealities that result in the variability of conductive states, making programming them to a desired analog conductance value extremely difficult as the device ages. In theory, memristors can be a nonlinear programmable analog resistor with memory properties that can take infinite resistive states. In practice, such memristors are hard to make, and in a crossbar, it is confined to a limited set of stable conductance values. The number of conductance levels available for a node in the crossbar is defined as the crossbar's resolution. This paper presents a technique to improve the resolution by building a super-resolution memristor crossbar with nodes having multiple memristors to generate r-simplicial sequence of unique conductance values. The wider the range and number of conductance values, the higher the crossbar's resolution. This is particularly useful in building analog neural network (ANN) layers, which are proven to be one of the go-to approaches for forming a neural network layer in implementing neuromorphic computations.

description: Trans-splicing of leader sequences onto the 59ends of mRNAs is a widespread phenomenon in protozoa, nematodes and some chordates. Using parallel sequencing we have developed a method to simultaneously map 59splice sites and analyze the corresponding gene expression profile, that we term spliced leader trapping (SLT). The method can be applied to any organism with a sequenced genome and trans-splicing of a conserved leader sequence. We analyzed the expression profiles and splicing patterns of bloodstream and insect forms of the parasite Trypanosoma brucei. We detected the 59splice sites of 85% of the annotated protein-coding genes and, contrary to previous reports, found up to 40% of transcripts to be differentially expressed. Furthermore, we discovered more than 2500 alternative splicing events, many of which appear to be stage-regulated. Based on our findings we hypothesize that alternatively spliced transcripts present a new means of regulating gene expression and could potentially contribute to protein diversity in the parasite. The entire dataset can be accessed online at TriTrypDB or through: http://splicer.unibe.ch/.

description: In this article we address the physical basis of the deviation of hadron shapes from spherical symmetry (non-spherical amplitudes) with focus on the nucleon and $Δ$. An overview of both the experimental methods and results and the current theoretical understanding of the issue is presented. At the present time the most quantitative method is the $γ^{*} p \to Δ$ reaction for which significant non-spherical electric (E2) and Coulomb quadrupole (C2) amplitudes have been observed with good precision as a function of Q^{2} from the photon point through 6 GeV^{2}. Quark model calculations for these quadrupole amplitudes are at least an order of magnitude too small and even have the wrong sign. Lattice QCD, chiral effective field theory, and dynamic model calculations which include the effects of the pion-cloud are in approximate agreement with experiment. This is expected due to the spontaneous breaking of chiral symmetry in QCD and the resulting, long range (low Q^{2}) effects of the pion-cloud. Other observables such as nucleon form factors and virtual Compton scattering experiments indicate that the pion-cloud is playing a significant role in nucleon structure. Semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering experiments with transverse polarized beam and target also show the effect of non-zero quark angular momentum.

description: We present the results of a study with the Swift Burst Alert Telescope in the 14 - 195 keV range of the long-term variability of 5 low mass X-ray binaries with reported or suspected super-orbital periods -- 4U 1636-536, 4U 1820-303, 4U 1916-053, Cyg X-2 and Sco X-1. No significant periodic modulation was detected around the previously reported values in the 4U 1916-053, Cyg X-2 or Sco X-1 light curves. The $\sim$170 d period of 4U 1820-303 was detected up to 24 keV, consistent with the proposed triple system model. The $\sim$46 d period in 4U 1636-536 was detected up to 100 keV, clearly inconsistent with variable photoelectric absorption via a warped precessing disc. We speculate that the appearance of this modulation after 4U 1636-536 entered the low/hard state indicates that this variability could be linked to jet precession such as observed in SS 433.

description: We numerically investigate gauge field instabilities in anisotropic SU(2) plasmas using weak field initial conditions. The growth of unstable modes is stopped by non-abelian effects for moderate anisotropy. If we increase the anisotropy the growth continues beyond the non-abelian saturation bound. We find strong indications that the continued growth is not due to over-saturation of infrared field modes, but instead due to very rapid growth of high momentum modes which are not unstable in the weak field limit. The saturation amplitude strongly depends on the initial conditions. For strong initial fields we do not observe the sustained growth.

description: This article draws a picture of the ontological politics that is currently at play in the relationship between people and things from the perspective of “what we design designs us back”. Drawing on an array of phenomena, we illustrate how the current discourse on the design of technologies produces objects-as-subjects and subjects-as-objects, and we explore the implicit production of gendered dualisms within this process. The article goes on to discuss whether and how the DIY disruption of mundane technological systems can interrupt this active production of tacit gendering. Illustrated by design experiments involving “hacking culture” as technically intelligible social disruptions of everyday systems, the article then discusses the option of “confusing the apparatus”. It is argued that the sharing and analysis of data should not be seen as something objective and automated, but rather as something subjective and manipulable. Finally, we argue the potential of our evolution into open-source cyborgs – and hence, the prospective of taking an active part in the designing of one’s own body and mind through a constant DIY reshuffling and reinterpretation of the material-social.
Gaussian trajectory description of fragmentation in an isolated spinor condensate

description: Spin-1 Bose gases quenched to spin degeneracy exhibit fragmentation: the appearance of a condensate in more than one single-particle state. Due to its highly entangled nature, the dynamics leading to this collective state are beyond the scope of a Gaussian variational approximation of the many-body wave function. Here, we improve the performance of the Gaussian variational Ansatz by considering dissipation into a fictitious environment, effectively suppressing entanglement within individual quantum trajectories at the expense of introducing a classical mixture of states. We find that this quantum trajectory approach captures the dynamical formation of a fragmented condensate, and analyze how much dissipation should be added to the experiment in order to keep a single realization in a non-fragmented state.

Platelet-bacterial interactions in the pathogenesis of infective endocarditis. Part I: The Streptococcus

description: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life threatening disease caused by a bacterial infection of the endocardial surfaces of the heart. It is typified by the formation of septic thrombi or vegetative growth on the heart valve. Typically, both platelets and fibrin are deposited on exposed extracellular matrix proteins as part of the normal response to damage of the endocardium [1]. However, this sterile platelet-fibrin nidus facilitates colonisation of the endocardium by bacteria in the bloodstream [2]. Following attachment, bacteria can recruit platelets from the circulation inducing platelet activation and platelet aggregation. This results in the development of large macroscopic vegetations which resist infiltration by both immune cells and antibiotics making IE a difficult disease to treat. These vegetations commonly occur on the heart valves and can disrupt hemodynamic patterns within the heart. This puts undue force on often already compromised valves, leading to congestive heart failure [3]. IE is notoriously difficult to treat, requiring aggressive multi-antibiotic therapy often coupled with surgery to remove vegetations and/or replace the infected valve [4]. Therapy is successful when all traces of bacteria are absent from the blood stream. Multiple species of bacteria have been isolated from the infected vegetations of patients [5, 6] with IE but the streptococci are amongst the most common cause, second only to the staphylococci whose interactions with human platelets are discussed elsewhere in this book (Chapter X). Indeed, in a recent prospective study, the role of streptococci in IE is masked by the growing incidence of staphylococcal IE resulting from the increased use of medical procedures leaving streptococci as a main cause of IE in the normal population [7, 8].

The peculiarity of this spectrograph is represented by the Integrated Optics (IO) beam-combiner, a small and delicate component which is located inside the cryostat and makes VSI capable to coherently combine 4, 6 or even 8 telescopes. The optics have been specifically designed to match the IO combiner output with the IR detector still preserving the needed spatial and spectral sampling, as well as the required fringe spacing. A compact device that allows us to interchange spectral resolutions (from R=200 to R=12000), is also presented.

description: Variational quantum algorithms are suitable for use on noisy quantum systems. One of the most important use-cases is the quantum simulation of materials, using the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). To optimize VQE performance, a suitable parameterized quantum circuit (ansatz) must be selected. We investigate a class of ansatze that incorporates knowledge of the quantum hardware, namely the hardware efficient ansatze. The performance of hardware efficient ansatze is affected differently by noise, and our goal is to study the effect of noise on evaluating which ansatz gives more accurate results in practice. First, we study the effect of noise on the different hardware efficient ansatze by benchmarking and ranking the performance of each ansatz family (i) on a chemistry application using VQE and (ii) by the recently established metric of "expressibility". The results demonstrate the ranking of optimal circuits does not remain constant in the presence of noise. Second, we evaluate the suitability of the expressibility measure in this context by performing a correlation study between expressibility and the performance of the same circuits on a chemistry application using VQE. Our simulations reveal a weak correlation and therefore demonstrate that expressibility is not an adequate measure to quantify the effectiveness of parameterized quantum circuits for quantum chemistry. Third, we evaluate the effect of different quantum device noise models on the ordering of which ansatz family is best. Interestingly, we see that to decide which ansatz is optimal for use, one needs to consider the specific hardware used even within the same family of quantum hardware.

description: It was presented by Cabello and Nakamura [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 190401 (2003)], that the Kochen-Specker theorem applies to two dimensions if one uses Positive Operator-Valued Measures. We show that contextuality in their models is not of the Kochen-Specker type. It is rather the result of not keeping track of the whole system on which the measurement is performed. This is connected to the fact that there is no one-to-one correspondence between POVM elements and projectors on the extended Hilbert space and the same POVM element has to originate from two different projectors when used in Cabello's and Nakamura's models. Moreover, we propose a hidden-variable formulation of the above models.

Victor Hugo, visionnaire : le mythe du progrès dans "Les misérables"
Creators: name: Blythe, Deborah Mae
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Victor Hugo is well known as a poet, a playwright and a novelist, but until recently he has not been recognized as a philosopher; for many years critics have admired the literary output of the man, but criticized the apparent contradictions and inconsistencies of his thought. Further studies have, however, revealed the true nature of Hugo's philosophy, and shown it to comprise a well thought out and coherent system. One of the most important themes in Hugo's work is that of human progress. In Les Misérables, Hugo's great novelistic masterpiece, he develops this theme and explores various of its aspects, treating at the same time many vital components of his philosophy. In examining the theme of progress in Les Misérables we have therefore sought to explore Hugo's ideology, as expressed in the novel, and to relate it to general nineteenth century currents of thought. This first necessitated a study of Hugo's religious beliefs, including his experiments with spiritualism and his belief in reincarnation and the hierarchy of beings. We then established the close relationship which exists between the poet's religious beliefs and his faith in the doctrine of progress Armed with an understanding of these basic principles, we then undertook a close textual analysis of the novel, examining Hugo's belief in the perfectibility of man and the perfectibility of society. Having laid the groundwork in Chapter I, we were therefore ready, in Chapter II, to study Hugo's belief in the progress of the individual : after looking at his portrayal of each level of the hierarchy of beings, we then looked at the various elements involved in the "progress" of the human soul, as illustrated by the characters in the novel. Then, in the third chapter, we approached the broader question of the progress of society and of Hugo's view of historical, political, social, economic and scientific progress. This in-depth study of one aspect of Victor Hugo's great novel thus led us to an understanding of the author's world-view, and of his conception of the relationship between man, God and the universe. It is a deeply religious, unique, and fundamentally optimistic philosophy, presented in a highly poetic manner. Although we may not accept all of Hugo's arguments, it is hard not to be stirred nonetheless by this thought-provoking work.

description: We present stellar velocity dispersion profiles for seven Milky Way dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellite galaxies. We have measured 8394 line-of-sight velocities (+/- 2.5 km/s) for 6804 stars from high-resolution spectra obtained at the Magellan and MMT telescopes. We combine these new data with previously published velocities to obtain the largest available kinematic samples, which include more than 5500 dSph members. All the measured dSphs have stellar velocity dispersion of order 10 km/s that remains approximately constant with distance from the dSph center, out to and in some cases beyond the radius at which the mean surface brightness falls to the background level. Assuming dSphs reside within dark matter halos characterized by the NFW density profile, we obtain reasonable fits to the empirical velocity dispersion profiles. These fits imply that, among the seven dSphs, M_vir ~ 10^[8-9] M_sun. The mass enclosed at a radius of 600 pc, the region common to all data sets, ranges from (2-7) x 10^7 M_sun .

description: N-Body simulations are an important tool in the study of formation of large scale structures. Much of the progress in understanding the physics of galaxy clustering and comparison with observations would not have been possible without N-Body simulations. Given the importance of this tool, it is essential to understand its limitations as ignoring these can easily lead to interesting but unreliable results. In this paper we study the limitations due to the finite size of the simulation volume. In an earlier work we proposed a formalism for estimating the effects of a finite box-size on physical quantities and applied it to estimate the effect on the amplitude of clustering, mass function. Here, we extend the same analysis and estimate the effect on skewness and kurtosis in the perturbative regime. We also test the analytical predictions from the earlier work as well as those presented in this paper. We find good agreement between the analytical models and simulations for the two point correlation function and skewness. We also discuss the effect of a finite box size on relative velocity statistics and find the effects for these quantities scale in a manner that retains the dependence on the averaged correlation function.

description: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life threatening disease caused by a bacterial infection of the endocardial surfaces of the heart. It is typified by the formation of septic thrombi or vegetative growth on the heart valve. Typically, both platelets and fibrin are deposited on exposed extracellular matrix proteins as part of the normal response to damage of the endocardium [1]. However, this sterile platelet-fibrin nidus facilitates colonisation of the endocardium by bacteria in the bloodstream [2]. Following attachment, bacteria can recruit platelets from the circulation inducing platelet activation and platelet aggregation. This results in the development of large macroscopic vegetations which resist infiltration by both immune cells and antibiotics making IE a difficult disease to treat. These vegetations commonly occur on the heart valves and can disrupt hemodynamic patterns within the heart. This puts undue force on often already compromised valves, leading to congestive heart failure [3]. IE is notoriously difficult to treat, requiring aggressive multi-antibiotic therapy often coupled with surgery to remove vegetations and/or replace the infected valve [4]. Therapy is successful when all traces of bacteria are absent from the blood stream. Multiple species of bacteria have been isolated from the infected vegetations of patients [5, 6] with IE but the streptococci are amongst the most common cause, second only to the staphylococci whose interactions with human platelets are discussed elsewhere in this book (Chapter X). Indeed, in a recent prospective study, the role of streptococci in IE is masked by the growing incidence of staphylococcal IE resulting from the increased use of medical procedures leaving streptococci as a main cause of IE in the normal population [7, 8].

description: Ritualisiertes schwulenfeindliches Verhalten ist unter männlichen Jugendlichen weit verbreitet. Auf männliche Homosexualität reagieren Jungen oft mit Ignoranz, Ausgrenzung und/oder gewalttätigem Verhalten. Daran anknüpfend diskutiert der vorliegende Artikel auf der Basis von Gruppendiskussionen, inwieweit es in männlichen Peerkulturen möglich ist, Schwul-Sein zu legitimieren und darauf nicht mit Stigmatisierung und Ausgrenzung, sondern mit Aufgeschlossenheit und Akzeptanz zu reagieren. Dass die Art, ob die Jungen in einer Peergroup oder Clique vergemeinschaftet sind, Einfluss auf ihren Umgang mit männlichen Homosexuellen hat, wird veranschaulicht. Unsere Forschung zeigt, dass in diesem Anerkennungsprozess Ambivalenzen bei männlichen Peerkulturen zu generieren sind, die mit Verunsicherung und stetigem Hinterfragen der eigenen männlichen Rolle und Identität einhergehen.

description: We present a simplified chemical and thermal model designed to allow computationally efficient study of the thermal evolution of metal-poor gas within large numerical simulations. Our main simplification is the neglect of the molecular chemistry of the heavy elements. The only molecular chemistry retained within the model is the formation and destruction of molecular hydrogen. Despite this major simplification, the model allows for accurate treatment of the thermal evolution of the gas within a large volume of parameter space. It is valid for temperatures 50 < T < 10000 K and metallicities 0 < Z < 0.1 Z_solar. In gas with a metallicity Z = 0.1 Z_solar, and in the absence of an incident ultraviolet radiation field, it is valid for hydrogen number densities n_H < 500 / t_char cm^-3, where t_char is the size in Myr of the characteristic physical timescale of interest in the problem. If Z << 0.1 Z_solar, or if a strong ultraviolet radiation field is present, then the model remains accurate up to significantly higher densities. We also discuss some possible applications of this model.

description: The incoherent approximation (IA) is often used for calculating the one-phonon inelastic neutron scattering cross section for arbitrary solids. It is valid for thermal neutrons but for slow neutrons it requires a correction, which is significant for isotopes that are strong coherent scatterers. In this article, we present the extension of the Placzek--Van Hove corrections for slow neutrons in the limit of low temperatures using the example of solid \emph{ortho}-deuterium (sD$_2$). Our approach yields realistic one-phonon up-scattering cross sections for sD$_2$ and shows the IA to be a factor of 2 to 5 too high for ultracold neutron (UCN) up-scattering in sD$_2$. Our calculations are compared with previously published Monte Carlo calculations of the one-phonon cross section based on the dynamic structure function $S(q,ω)$ of polycrystalline \emph{ortho}-deuterium and are found to be consistent with them. Furthermore, we provide the means for easily replicable calculations of the one-phonon up-scattering cross sections of solid \emph{ortho}-deuterium for slow neutrons. These should from now on be used in calculations and simulations of UCN scattering in sD$_2$.

description: We have identified perhaps the largest major galaxy merger ever seen. While analysing Spitzer IRAC images of CL0958+4702, an X-ray selected cluster at z=0.39, we discovered an unusual plume of stars extending $\gtrsim$110 kpc outward from the bright central galaxy (BCG). Three galaxies 1-1.5 mag fainter than the BCG lie within 17 kpc (projected) of the BCG and are probably participating in the merger. The plume is detected in all four IRAC channels and at optical wavelengths in images from the WIYN telescope; the surface brightness is remarkably high ($μ_r\approx$24.8 mag arcsec$^{-2}$ at 50 kpc). The optical and infrared colors are consistent with those of other BCGs, suggesting that the plume is composed of old stars and negligible recent star formation (hence a "dry merger"). The luminosity in the plume is at least equivalent to a 4L^* galaxy. A diffuse halo extending 110 kpc from the BCG in one IRAC image suggests the total amount of diffuse light is L_r\sim 1.3x10^{11}h^{-2} L_sun. A Chandra observation shows an X-ray image and spectrum typical of moderate-mass clusters. We use MMT/Hectospec to measure 905 redshifts in a 1 deg^2 region around the cluster. The velocities of two of the BCG companions indicate a merger timescale for the companion galaxies of $\sim$110 Myr and $\sim$0.5-1 Gyr for the plume. We conclude that the BCG and intracluster light of CL0958 is formed by major mergers at moderate redshifts. After the major merger is complete, CL0958 will likely become a fossil cluster.
