description: We present a simple, efficient and robust approach to improve cosmological redshift measurements. The method is based on the presence of a reference sample for which a precise redshift number distribution (dN/dz) can be obtained for different pencil-beam-like sub-volumes within the original survey. For each sub-volume we then impose: (i) that the redshift number distribution of the uncertain redshift measurements matches the reference dN/dz corrected by their selection functions; and (ii) the rank order in redshift of the original ensemble of uncertain measurements is preserved. The latter step is motivated by the fact that random variables drawn from Gaussian probability density functions (PDFs) of different means and arbitrarily large standard deviations satisfy stochastic ordering. We then repeat this simple algorithm for multiple arbitrary pencil-beam-like overlapping sub-volumes; in this manner, each uncertain measurement has multiple (non-independent) "recovered" redshifts which can be used to estimate a new redshift PDF. We refer to this method as the Stochastic Order Redshift Technique (SORT). We have used a state-of-the-art N-body simulation to test the performance of SORT under simple assumptions and found that it can improve the quality of cosmological redshifts in an efficient and robust manner. Particularly, SORT redshifts are able to recover the distinctive features of the 'cosmic web' and can provide unbiased measurement of the two-point correlation function on scales > 4 Mpc/h. Given its simplicity, we envision that a method like SORT can be incorporated into more sophisticated algorithms aimed to exploit the full potential of large extragalactic photometric surveys.

description: Estimates are developed for the number of people incarcerated in the US for drug-law violations between 1972-2002, broken down by type of institution (federal prison, state prison, or jail) and to the extent possible by nature of drug offense (possession/use, trafficking, or other). These time series are compared to trends in drug use indicators, revealing at best weak correlations, and the absolute levels are compared to different market indicators to draw various inferences. For example, even though about 480,000 people are incarcerated for drug-law violations, on average retail sellers spend less than two hours behind bars per sale. Still, full time sellers might expect to spend three months incarcerated per year of selling, suggesting that there are roughly four active drug sellers for every one who is incarcerated.

description: In order to explore the consequences of the neutrino irradiation for the supernova r-process nucleosynthesis, we calculate the rates of charged-current and neutral-current neutrino reactions on neutron-rich heavy nuclei, and estimate the average number of neutrons emitted in the resulting spallation. Our results suggest that charged-current $ν_e$ captures can be important in breaking through the waiting-point nuclei at N=50 and 82, while still allowing the formation of abundance peaks. Furthermore, after the r-process freezes out, there appear to be distinctive neutral-current and charged-current postprocessing effects. A subtraction of the neutrino postprocessing effects from the observed solar r-process abundance distribution shows that two mass regions, A=124-126 and 183-187, are inordinately sensitive to neutrino postprocessing effects. This imposes very stringent bounds on the freeze-out radii and dynamic timescales governing the r-process. Moreover, we find that the abundance patterns within these mass windows are entirely consistent with synthesis by neutrino interactions. This provides a strong argument that the r-process must occur in the intense neutrino flux provided by a core-collapse supernova.

description: Inhibition of PI3K pathway has become a desirable strategy for cancer treatment. In this work, a series of 2, 6, 8-substituted Imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine derivatives were designed and screened for their activities against PI3Kα and a panel of PI3Kα-addicted cancer cells. Among them, compound 35 was identified as a PI3Kα inhibitor with nanomolar potency as well as acceptable antiproliferative activity. Flow cytometry analysis confirmed 35 induced cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in T47D cells. In addition, it also showed desirable in vitro ADME properties. The design, synthesis, and SAR exploration of 35 are described within.

description: Primordial black hole (PBH), which can be naturally produced in the early universe, remains a promising dark matter candidate . It can merge with a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in the center of a galaxy and generate gravitational wave (GW) signals in the favored frequency region of LISA-like experiments. In this work, we initiate the study on the event rate calculation for such extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRI). Including the sensitivities of various proposed GW detectors, we find that such experiments offer a novel and outstanding tool to test the scenario where PBH constitutes (fraction of) dark matter. The PBH energy density fraction of DM ($f_\text{PBH}$) could potentially be explored as small as $10^{-3} \sim 10^{-4}$. Further, LISA has the capability to search for PBH mass upto $10^{-2} \sim 10^{-1} M_\odot$. Other proposed GW experiments can probe lower PBH mass regime.

Double Scaling Limits and Twisted Non-Critical Superstrings

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider double-scaling limits of multicut solutions of certain one matrix models that are related to Calabi-Yau singularities of type A and the respective topological B model via the Dijkgraaf-Vafa correspondence. These double-scaling limits naturally lead to a bosonic string with c $\leq$ 1. We argue that this non-critical string is given by the topologically twisted non-critical superstring background which provides the dual description of the double-scaled little string theory at the Calabi-Yau singularity. The algorithms developed recently to solve a generic multicut matrix model by means of the loop equations allow to show that the scaling of the higher genus terms in the matrix model free energy matches the expected behaviour in the topological B-model. This result applies to a generic matrix model singularity and the relative double-scaling limit. We use these techniques to explicitly evaluate the free energy at genus one and genus two.

description: In the present work, ultrathin films of Zinc oxide (ZnO) and Aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) with 20 nm thick were fabricated at 300 K on glass and Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates by means of directcurrent sputtering method. The structural morphology of the films were analyzed by (XRD) diffractometry. The average transmittance of films deposited on different substrates showed high transparency (over 80%) in the visible spectrum. The objective of the present work is to investigate the thicknesses and optical constants of ZnO and AZO ultrathin films prepared by DC sputtering onto (glass and PET) substrates using two methods (UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometer and ellipsometer (SE) by new amorphous dispersion formula) with comparison to check and confirm the results that obtained from UV with those obtained from SE measurements. The optical constants of films were extracted and compared using UV and SE techniques in the range of (200- 2200 nm) with increment of 1 nm in order to confirm the accuracy of the UV and shown an excellent agreement.

New QCD Sum Rules for Nucleon Axial Vector Coupling Constants

description: Two new sets of QCD sum rules for the nucleon axial coupling constants are derived using the external-field technique and generalized interpolating fields. An in-depth study of the predicative ability of these sum rules is carried out using a Monte-Carlo based uncertainty analysis. The results show that the standard implementation of the QCD sum rule method has only marginal predicative power for the nucleon axial coupling constants, as the relative errors are large. The errors range from approximately 50 to 100% compared to the nucleon mass obtained from the same method, which has only 10% to 25% error. The origin of the large errors is examined. Previous analyses of these coupling constants are based on sum rules that have poor OPE convergence and large continuum contributions. Preferred sum rules are identified and their predictions are obtained. We also investigate the new sum rules with an alternative treatment of the problematic transitions which are not exponentially suppressed in the standard treatment. The new treatment provides exponential suppression of their contributions relative to the ground state. Implications for other nucleon current matrix elements are also discussed.

A combined analysis of cluster mass estimates from strong lensing, X-ray measurement and the universal density profile

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: (Abridged)We present a combined analysis of mass estimates in the central cores of galaxy clusters from the strong lensing, the X-ray measurements and the universal density profile (NFW). Special attention is paid to the questions (1)whether the previously claimed mass discrepancy between the strong lensing and X-ray measurements is associated with the presence of cooling/non-cooling flows, (2)whether the cusped NFW density model can provide a consistent cluster mass with the strong lensing result and (3)whether a non-zero cosmological constant can be of any help to reducing the strong lensing - X-ray mass ratios. We analyse a sample of 26 arc-like images among 21 clusters. The X-ray and NFW cluster masses are obtained by assuming that the intracluster gas is isothermal and in hydrostatic equilibrium with the underlying gravitational potential of the clusters. A statistical comparison of these three mass estimates reveals that the mass discrepancies for all the events are well within a factor of 2. We confirm the result of Allen that the larger mass discrepancy is only detected in the intermediate cooling, especially non-cooling flow clusters, thus attributing the mass discrepancy to the local dynamical activities in the central regions. We show that the NFW profile yields a consistent cluster mass with the conventional X-ray measurement, and any difference between these two models must occur at even smaller radii (e.g. within the arc-like images) or at large radii. Finally, a non-zero cosmological constant is able to moderately reduce the mass ratios of m_lens to m_xray.

description: Within the t-t'-J model, the physical properties of doped cuprates in the superconducting-state are discussed based on the kinetic energy driven superconducting mechanism. We show that the superconducting-state in cuprate superconductors is controlled by both superconducting gap parameter and single particle coherence, and then quantitatively reproduce some main features found in the experiments on cuprate superconductors, including the doping dependence of the superconducting gap parameter and superconducting transition temperature, the electron spectral function at [π,0] point, the charge asymmetry of superconductivity in the hole and electron doping, and the doping and energy dependence of the incommensurate magnetic scattering at both low and high energies and commensurate [π,π] resonance at intermediate energy. We also show that the incommensurate magnetic excitations at high energy have energies greater than the superconducting gap energy, and are present at the superconducting transition temperature.

description: Objectives: Design and estimate the impacts of a prevention program for part 1 violent crimes in micro-place crime hot spots. Methods: A longitudinal study of crime hot spots using 21 years of crime offense report data on part 1 violent crimes from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Based on kernel density smoothing for a definition of micro-place crime hot spots, we replicate past work on the existence of “chronic” hot spots, but then with such hot spots accounted for introduce “temporary” hot spots. Results: Chronic hot spots are good targets for prevention. They are easily identified and they tend to persist. Temporary hot spots, however, predominantly last only one month. Thus the common practice of identifying hot spots using a short time window of crime data and assuming that the resulting hot spots will persist is ineffective for temporary hot spots. Instead it is necessary to forecast the emergence of temporary hot spots to prevent their crimes. Over time chronic hot spots, while still important, have accounted for less crime while temporary hot spots have grown, accounting for a larger share. Chronic hot spots are relatively easy targets for police whereas temporary hot spots require forecasting methods not commonly in use by police. Conclusions: The paper estimates approximately a 10 to 20 percent reduction in part 1 violent crimes in Pittsburgh if the hot spot enforcement program proposed in this paper were implemented.

This may provide the reheating mechanism of an ekpyrotic (or cyclic) brane universe, in which two BPS branes collide and evolve into a hot big bang universe. We evaluate a change of scalar field making the domain wall and can investigate the effect of a negative cosmological term in the bulk to the collision process and the evolution of our universe.

description: Phenomenological studies performed for non-supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model usually use tree-level parameters as input to define the scalar sector of the model. This implicitly assumes that a full on-shell calculation of the scalar sector is possible - and meaningful. However, this doesn't have to be the case as we show explicitly at the example of the Georgi-Machacek model. This model comes with an appealing custodial symmetry to explain the smallness of the $ρ$ parameter. However, the model cannot be renormalised on-shell without breaking the custodial symmetry. Moreover, we find that it can often happen that the radiative corrections are so large that any consideration based on a perturbative expansion appears to be meaningless: counter-terms to quartic couplings can become much larger than $4π$ and/or two-loop mass corrections can become larger than the one-loop ones. Therefore, conditions are necessary to single out parameter regions which cannot be treated perturbatively. We propose and discuss different sets of such perturbativity conditions and show their impact on the parameter space of the Georgi-Machacek model. Moreover, the proposed conditions are general enough that they can be applied to other models as well. We also point out that the vacuum stability constraints in the Georgi-Machacek model, which have so far only been applied at the tree level, receive crucial radiative corrections. We show that large regions of the parameter space which feature a stable electroweak vacuum at the loop level would have been - wrongly - ruled out by the tree-level conditions.

Investigating the DNA replication machinery composition and function using proteomic and chemical-biology approaches
Creators: name: Weekes, Christopher
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: The process of DNA replication is essential for cellular life, but must be highly regulated to ensure that damage to the genome or irregularity in copy number does not ensue. In particular, the mechanism behind the loading and activation of the eukaryotic replicative helicase, MCM2-7, onto DNA has been investigated extensively. However, despite progress afforded by the advent of cryo-EM to reveal the structures of multi-subunit protein complexes, the molecular mechanism underlying the activation of the replicative helicase has yet to be fully elucidated. In particular, the precise temporal order of initiation factor recruitment and release, and how they affect complex progression, is not known. Additionally, many in vivo specific factors such as chromatin factors, accessory helicases and regulatory pathways are not well understood. This research set out to establish a more complete description of the interaction partners of the MCM2-7 helicase in vivo prior to, during, and after replicative helicase activation, by applying a combination of chemical-biology and proteomic techniques. Small molecule-inducible protein linkages were introduced into the MCM2-7 complex, to arrest the complex at different stages of helicase activation. This enabled investigation of transient conformational states in vivo. A versatile proteomic method utilising in vivo cross-linking and affinity enrichment of MCM2- 7 helicase interactomes followed by LC-MS/MS analysis was established, termed ChIP-MS. This technique enabled characterisation of the composition of replication complexes throughout the cell cycle, as well as in the context of the arrest states generated by the linkage constructs. Stabilisation of the in vivo complexes by cross-linking allowed the detection and compositional analysis of distinct sub-populations of replication complexes over multiple cell cycle stages and identified several factors and pathways, such as chromatin remodellers and accessory helicases, that may have a previously understudied or novel role in the replication process.

description: Frame dependence of parton cascade results is studied for different schemes of doing cascade simulations. We show that different schemes do not always agree and results may have strong frame dependence. When the interaction range is on the order of mean free path and the collisions are done in the two particle center of mass frame, the results are not sensitive to the global frame that the collisions are ordered. Effects of different differential cross sections are also discussed.

We also obtain a multiplicity result when $f(u)=|u|^{q-2}u+λ|u|^{r-2}u$ with $20$, by combining a truncation argument and a Moser-type iteration.

description:
Heavy minerals from arenaceous lutites in three widely spaced cores from the northern Canada Basin were analyzed for the first time to determine the provenance of these sediments. The abundant minerals (sp. gr. == 2.70) in decreasing order for most samples were detrital carbonate, micas, clinoamphibole, clinopyroxene, garnet, epidote, tourmaline, and chlorite. The majority of pyroxene grains were etched. Sedimentary sources dominated and metamorphic and igneous sources were important but secondary. The northern Canada Arctic Archipelago and northern Greenland is proposed as the provenance for the heavy minerals in the arenaceous lutites for at least the past three million years. The sediments represent ice-rafted deposition during increased periods of glacial activity. Results obtained imply that input from continental glaciers of mainland Canada as distinct from glaciers originating in the northern Canada Arctic Archipelago and northern Greenland has been relatively unimportant for the northern Canada Basin during this same time interval.

On the radial density profile of intracluster gas tracing the isothermal dark halo with a finite core

description: The cusped NFW universal density profile suggested by typical CDM models has been challenged in recent years by the discoveries of the soft cores for a broad range of masses from dwarf galaxies to clusters of galaxies. It is thus desirable that a new, analytic model would instead become available for virialized dark halos. One promising candidate is probably the empirical density profile proposed by Burkert, which resembles an isothermal profile with a constant core in the inner region and matches the NFW profile at large radii. Meanwhile, such a revised dark halo (RDH) profile has turned out a great success on galactic scales. This stimulates us to apply the RDH profile to more massive systems like clusters of galaxies. In this paper we have made an attempt to derive the radial density profile of intracluster gas from the RDH profile, and compare it with those revealed by X-ray observations and inferred from the NFW profile. It is shown that the RDH predicted gas density can be well represented by the conventional beta model with a typical beta parameter of 0.7-0.9. Fitting the theoretically predicted X-ray surface brightness profile to an ensemble of 45 X-ray clusters, we find that the RDH and NFW profiles become to be almost indistinguishable. Yet, the RDH profile allows us to work out straightforwardly the central dark matter density of clusters from X-ray measurements. Using the 45 clusters, we find that the central densities of clusters have an average value of ~0.01 solar mass pc^{-3}, in agreement with the result estimated on galactic scales, which reinforces the claim for the presence of the soft halo cores over the entire mass range.

description: Soft x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) measurements at the Co L2,3 edges of Co doped rutile TiO2 at room temperature have revealed clear multiplet features characteristic of ferromagnetic Co2+ ions coordinated by O2- ions, being in sharp contrast to the featureless XMCD spectrum of Co metal or metallic clusters. The absorption and XMCD spectra agree well with a full atomic-multiplet calculation for the Co2+ high-spin state in the D2h-symmetry crystal field at the Ti site in rutile TiO2. The results indicate that the ferromagnetism arises from the Co2+ ions substituting the Ti4+ ions.

description: Sponsored search accounts for 40% of the total online advertising market. These ads appear as ordered lists along with the regular search results in search engine results pages. The conventional wisdom in the industry is that the top position is the most desirable position for advertisers. This has led to intense competition among advertisers to secure the top positions in the results pages. We evaluate the impact of ad placement on revenues and profits generated from sponsored search using data for several hundred keywords from the ad campaign of an online retailer. Using a hierarchical Bayesian model, we measure the impact of ad placement on both click-through rate and conversion rate for these keywords. We find that while click through rate decreases with position, conversion rate first increases and then decreases with position for longer keywords. The net effect is that, contrary to conventional wisdom, the topmost position in sponsored search advertisements is not necessarily the revenue- or profit-maximizing position. Our results inform the advertising strategies of firms participating in sponsored search auctions and provide insight into consumer behavior in these environments. Specifically, they help correct a significant misunderstanding among advertisers regarding the value of the top position. Further, they reveal potential inefficiencies in present auction mechanisms used by the search engines.

description: We study a 7-dimensional brane world scenario with a Ricci-flat 3-brane residing in the core of a composite monopole defect, i.e. a defect composed of a 'tHooft-Polyakov and a global monopole. Admitting a direct interaction between the two bosonic sectors of the theory, we analyse the structure of the space-time in the limits of small, respectively large direct interaction coupling constant. For large direct interaction, the global monopole disappears from the system and leaves behind a negative cosmological constant in the bulk such that gravity-localising solutions are possible without the a priori introduction of a bulk cosmological constant.

description: This paper measures the effects of Brazil’s 1987-1995 trade liberalization on local labor market wages and internal migration patterns. I develop a specific-factors model of regional economies to examine the impact of national price changes on local labor markets. In the model, a region’s industry mix determines the local impact of liberalization, with larger wage declines in regions where workers are concentrated in industries facing the largest tariff cuts. I find that regions whose output faced a 10% larger liberalization-induced price decline experienced a 9.4% larger wage decline. In addition, liberalization resulted in a shift in migration patterns. The most affected Brazilian states gained or lost approximately 0.5% of their populations as a result of liberalization-induced shifts in migration patterns. These results demonstrate the importance of considering the local effects of national trade liberalization and represent the first systematic evaluation of the effects of liberalization on internal migration.

description: When a d-dimensional quantum system is subjected to a periodic drive, it may be treated as a (d+1)-dimensional system, where the extra dimension is a synthetic one. In this work, we take these ideas to the next level by showing that non-uniform potentials, and particularly edges, in the synthetic dimension are created whenever the dynamics of system has a memory component. We demonstrate that topological states appear on the edges of these synthetic dimensions and can be used as a basis for a wave packet construction. Such systems may act as an optical isolator which allows transmission of light in a directional way. We supplement our ideas by an example of a physical system that shows this type of physics.

description: Tephritis siderata Rondani, 1868
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1868b: 31.
 TYPE LOCALITY: “ Brésil [Brazil]” (Macquart 1844: 384) [type locality for Acinia stellata Macquart, 1844].
TYPE MATERIAL: see Remarks.
 CURRENT STATUS: unavailable name (Norrbom et al. 1999: 159); not included in O’Hara et al. (2011); junior synonym of Hexacinia radiosa (Rondani,1868) (new synonymy, this work). See Remarks.
 REMARKS: Macquart (1844: 384; 1851a: 266) described two different species under the same name, Acinia stellata. Rondani (1868b: 31) considered them as belonging to the genus Tephritis Latreille, 1804, under which he also placed Musca stellata Fuesslin, 1775, and proposed the substitute name Tephritis siderata for Acinia stellata Macquart, 1844 and the replacement name Tephritis radiosa for Acinia stellata Macquart, 1851 (Rondani 1868b: 31). Because the two species described by Fuesslin (1775) and Macquart (1844), respectively, did not belong to the same genus, Norrbom et al. (1999: 159) considered the name “ Tephritis siderata ” as unavailable and the name Tephritis radiosa as valid. We consider Tephritis siderata as an available name. The type material for Tephritis siderata Rondani, 1868 will be the same as for the name it was proposed to replace, i. e., Acinia stellata Macquart, 1851.A syntype of this latter species is preserved in the MNHN (Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle 2020). Acinia stellata Macquart, 1851 is currently considered a junior synonym of Hexacinia radiosa (Rondani, 1868) (Norrbom et al. 1999: 159), thus Tephritis siderata Rondani, 1868 is the same as Hexacinia radiosa (Rondani, 1868), new synonymy.

description: In technology-based industries, many incumbent firms license their technology to other firms that will potentially compete with them. Such a strategy is difficult to explain within traditional models of licensing. This paper extends the literature on licensing by relaxing the widespread assumption of a ‘unique’ technology holder. We develop a model with many technological trajectories for the production of a differentiated good. We find that competition in the market for technology induces licensing of innovations, and that the number of licenses can be inefficiently large. A strong testable implication of our theory is that the number of licenses per patent holder decreases with the degree of product differentiation.

description: The quantum speed limit (QSL), or the energy-time uncertainty relation, describes the fundamental maximum rate for quantum time evolution and has been regarded as being unique in quantum mechanics. In this study, we obtain a classical speed limit corresponding to the QSL using the Hilbert space for the classical Liouville equation. Thus, classical mechanics has a fundamental speed limit, and QSL is not a purely quantum phenomenon but a universal dynamical property of the Hilbert space. Furthermore, we obtain similar speed limits for the imaginary-time Schroedinger equations such as the master equation.

Post-gelation behavior of a spatial coagulation model

description: A coagulation model on a finite spatial grid is considered. Particles of discrete masses jump randomly between sites and, while located at the same site, stick together according to some coagulation kernel. The asymptotic behavior (for increasing particle numbers) of this model is studied in the situation, when the coagulation kernel grows sufficiently fast so that the phenomenon of gelation is observed. Weak accumulation points of an appropriate sequence of measure-valued processes are characterized in terms of solutions of a nonlinear equation. A natural description of the behavior of the gel is obtained by using the one-point compactification of the size space. Two aspects of the limiting equation are of special interest. First, the formal extension of Smoluchowski's coagulation equation to the spatially inhomogeneous case has to be modified for a certain class of coagulation kernels. Second, due to spatial inhomogeneity, an equation for the time evolution of the gel mass density has to be added. The jump rates are assumed to vanish with increasing particle masses so that the gel is immobile. Two different gel growth mechanisms (active and passive gel) are found depending on the type of the coagulation kernel.
