description: AbstractContext Estimated remnant cholesterol (Rem-C) level, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), is associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) diagnosed via ultrasonography. However, the relationship between accurate serum Rem-C level measurements and histological findings of MASLD remains unclear. Objective We aimed to elucidate the relationship between accurately measured serum Rem-C levels and histological findings of MASLD. Design Cross-sectional single-center observational study. Methods We assessed 222 patients (94 men and 128 women; age 20–80) who were diagnosed with MASLD via liver biopsy with available medical history, physical examination, and biochemical measurement data. Serum ester-type cholesterol and free cholesterol contents in the remnant lipoproteins were measured using an enzymatic method. Results Serum Rem-C levels were significantly higher in patients with NAFLD activity score (NAS) 5–8, ＞66% steatosis grade, lobular inflammation with ≥5 foci, and many cells/prominent ballooning cells (a contiguous patch of hepatocytes showing prominent ballooning injury) than in patients with NAS 1–4, <33% steatosis grade, lobular inflammation with <2 foci, and few ballooning cells (several scattered balloon cells), respectively. While univariate analysis revealed no significant association between Rem-C levels and advanced fibrosis, a significant association between Rem-C levels and NAS was evident. This relationship remained significant in multivariate analysis adjusted for confounders. Furthermore, in the analysis by sex, these relationships were significant for men but not for women. Conclusion High serum Rem-C levels were associated with high NAS, but not with fibrosis stage, particularly in men. Controlling serum Rem-C level may improve MASLD activity.

description: Pigeon pea is a shrub-like legume whose grain is rich in minerals, vitamins, fat and protein. It contains more minerals, 10 times more fat, 5 times more vitamin A, and 3 times more vitamin C than ordinary peas. It is also abundant in protein (up to 28%), making it an ideal supplement to traditional cereal-banana.

This step by step guide for quality production of pigeon pea was developed as part of the project W2A-PR-115-Uganda Strengthening Seed Delivery System for Dryland Cereals and Legumes in Drought-prone Areas of Uganda supported in the 3rd project cycle of Benefit Sharing Fund (BSF) of the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) of the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)  with support from European Union. The guide illustrates and step by step guide on how to cultivate pigeon pea, from land preparation to yields management. The guide intends to train farmers in promoting good agronomic practices as well as postharvest handling and pesticide safety to increase production of this resilient crop.

description: Classical cybernetics is a successful meta-theory to model the regulation of complex systems from an abstract information-theoretic viewpoint, regardless of the properties of the system under scrutiny. Fundamental limits to the controllability of an open system can be formalized in terms of the law of requisite variety, which is derived from the second law of thermodynamics. These concepts are briefly reviewed, and the chances, challenges and potential gains arising from the generalisation of such a framework to the quantum domain are discussed.

description: We present a theoretical formulation for the multiphoton diffraction phenomenology in the nonrelativistic limit, suitable for interpreting high-energy x-ray diffraction measurements using synchrotron radiation sources. A hierarchy of approximations and the systematic analysis of limiting cases are presented. A convolutional representation of the diffraction signal allows classification of the physical resources contributing to the correlation signatures. The formulation is intended for developing a theoretical description capable of describing plausible absence or presence of correlation signatures in elastic and inelastic diffractive scattering. Interpreting these correlation signatures in terms of the incoming field modulated many-body electronic density correlations provides a novel perspective for structural imaging studies. More essentially, it offers a framework necessary for theoretical developments of associated reconstruction algorithms.

Year: 1985

description: Because naturally occurring organic matter is thought to interfere with virus adsorption to microporous filters, humic and fulvic acids isolated from a highly colored, soft surface water were used as model organics in studies on poliovirus adsorption to and recovery from electropositive Virosorb 1MDS and electronegative Filterite filters. Solutions of activated carbon-treated tap water containing 3, 10, and 30-mg/liter concentrations of humic or fulvic acid were seeded with known amounts of poliovirus and processed with Virosorb 1MDS filters at pH 7.5 or Filterite filters at pH 3.5 (with and without 5 mM MgCl2). Organic acids caused appreciable reductions in virus adsorption and recovery efficiencies with both types of filter. Fulvic acid caused greater reductions in poliovirus recovery with Virosorb 1MDS filters than with Filterite filters. Fulvic acid interference with poliovirus recovery by Filterite filters was overcome by the presence of 5 mM MgCl2. Although humic acid reduced poliovirus recoveries by both types of filter, its greatest effect was on virus elution and recovery from Filterite filters. Single-particle analyses demonstrated MgCl2 enhancement of poliovirus association with both organic acids at pH 3.5. The mechanisms by which each organic acid reduced virus adsorption and recovery appeared to be different for each type of filter.
TWO-WAY OPTION CONTRACTS FOR FACILITATING WATER RE-ALLOCATION DURING DROUGHT
Creators: name: Hirsch, Zachary Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: Water markets in the Western U.S. have the ability to re-allocate water temporarily during drought, often as short-term water rights leases from lower value irrigation to higher value urban uses. Regulatory approval of transfers, however, is typically lengthy and involves high transaction costs that arise from expensive technical and legal analyses, discouraging leasing.  This leads to less efficient allocation, as municipalities often react by purchasing large volumes of permanent water rights which are used only to maintain supply reliability during drought. Thus, less water is available to irrigators in wet/normal years, and municipalities pay for large volumes of infrequently used rights. This research develops a two-way option (TWO) contract that pairs leasing from irrigators to municipalities in dry years with leases from municipalities to irrigators during wet periods. Results suggest that the TWO could maintain urban water supply reliability at lower cost, while allowing irrigators to achieve higher agricultural productivity.

description: An adaptation of the WKB method in the deformation quantization formalism is presented with the aim to obtain an approximate technique of solving the eigenvalue problem for energy in the phase space quantum approach. A relationship between the phase $σ(\vec{r})$ of a wave function $\exp \left(\frac{i}{\hbar} σ(\vec{r}) \right)$ and its respective Wigner function is derived. Formulas to calculate the Wigner function of a product and of a superposition of wave functions are proposed. Properties of a Wigner function of interfering states are also investigated. Examples of this quasi - classical approximation in deformation quantization are analysed. A strict form of the Wigner function for states represented by tempered generalised functions has been derived. Wigner functions of unbound states in the Poeschl - Teller potential have been found.

description: In this paper we demonstrate decidability for the intuitionistic modal logic S4 first formulated by Fischer Servi. This solves a problem that has been open for almost thirty years since it had been posed in Simpson's PhD thesis in 1994. We obtain this result by performing proof search in a labelled deductive system that, instead of using only one binary relation on the labels, employs two: one corresponding to the accessibility relation of modal logic and the other corresponding to the order relation of intuitionistic Kripke frames. Our search algorithm outputs either a proof or a finite counter-model, thus, additionally establishing the finite model property for intuitionistic S4, which has been another long-standing open problem in the area.

description: We describe a methodology to probe gravity with the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing convergence $κ$, specifically by measuring $E_G$, the ratio of the Laplacian of the gravitational scalar potential difference with the velocity divergence. Using CMB lensing instead of galaxy-galaxy lensing avoids intrinsic alignments while also lacking a hard limit on the lens redshift and significant uncertainties in the source plane. We model $E_G$ for general relativity and modified gravity, finding that $E_G$ for $f(R)$ gravity should be scale-dependent due to the scale-dependence of the growth rate $f$. Next, we construct an estimator for $E_G$ in terms of the galaxy-CMB lensing and galaxy clustering angular power spectra, along with the RSD parameter $β$. We also forecast statistical errors for $E_G$ from the current Planck CMB lensing map and the spectroscopic galaxy and quasar samples from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 11, being 9% with galaxies and 8% when quasars are included. We also find that upcoming spectroscopic and photometric surveys, combined with the final Planck lensing map, can measure precisely the redshift- and scale-dependence of $E_G$ out to redshifts $z=2$ and higher, with photometric surveys having an advantage due to their high number densities. Advanced ACTPol's lensing map will increase the $E_G$ sensitivity even further. Finally, we find that Advanced ACTPol cross-correlated with spectroscopic (photometric) surveys can differentiate between general relativity and $f(R)$ gravity at the level of $3σ$ ($13σ$). Performing a $<1$% measurement of $E_G$ requires a 10% precision in $β$ from Euclid or LSST, currently achievable with a spectroscopic survey but difficult with only a photometric survey.

Year: 1985

description: By using recently developed cultivation and assay systems, currently available methods for concentrating enteric viruses from drinking water by adsorption to and subsequent elution from microporous filters followed by organic flocculation were evaluated for their ability to recover hepatitis A virus (HAV). Cell culture-adapted HAV (strain HM-175) in seeded tapwater was efficiently adsorbed by both electronegative (Filterite) and electropositive (Virosorb 1MDS) filters at pH and ionic conditions previously used for other enteric viruses. Adsorbed HAV was efficiently eluted from these filters by beef extract eluents at pH 9.5. Eluted HAV was further concentrated efficiently by acid precipitation (organic flocculation) of eluents containing beef extract made from powdered, but not paste, sources. By using optimum adsorption conditions for each type of filter, HAV was concentrated greater than 100-fold from samples of seeded tapwater, with about 50% recovery of the initial infectious virus added to the samples. The ability to recover and quantify HAV in contaminated drinking water with currently available methods should prove useful in further studies to determine the role of drinking water in HAV transmission.

We show that Cuntz-Pimsner algebras over Ore monoids are constructed through inductive limits and section algebras of Fell bundles over groups. We construct a groupoid model for the Cuntz-Pimsner algebra coming from an action of an Ore monoid on a space by topological correspondences. We characterise when this groupoid is effective or locally contracting and describe its invariant subsets and invariant measures.

description: Gamma-rays induced by annihilation or decay of dark matter can be its smoking gun signature. In particular, gamma-rays generated by internal bremsstrahlung of Majorana and real scalar dark matter is promising since it can be a leading emission of sharp gamma-rays. However in the case of Majorana dark matter, its cross section for internal bremsstrahlung cannot be large enough to be observed by future gamma-ray experiments if the observed relic density is assumed to be thermally produced. In this paper, we introduce some degenerate particles with Majorana dark matter, and show they lead enhancement of the cross section. As a result, increase of about one order of magnitude for the cross section is possible without conflict with the observed relic density, and it would be tested by the future gamma-ray experiments such as GAMMA-400 and Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). In addition, the constraints of perturbativity, positron observation by the AMS experiment and direct search for dark matter are discussed.

Influence of Naturally Occurring Humic Acids on Biodegradation of Monosubstituted Phenols by Aquatic Bacteria
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1985

description: Samples of the microbial community from Lake Michie, a mesotrophic reservoir in central North Carolina, were adapted to various levels (100 to 1,000 mug/liter) of natural humic acids in chemostats. The humic acids were extracted from water samples from Black Lake, a highly colored lake in the coastal plain of North Carolina. After adaptation, the microbial community was tested for its ability to degrade the monosubstituted phenols m-cresol, m-aminophenol, and p-chlorophenol. Adaptation to increasing levels of humic acids significantly reduced the ability of the microbial communities to degrade all three phenols. The decline in biodegradation was accompanied by a decrease in the number of specific compound degraders in the adapted communities. Short-term exposure of the community to increasing levels of humic acids had no significant effect on the ability of the community to degrade m-cresol. Thus the suppressive effect of humic acids on monosubstituted phenol metabolism was the result of long-term exposure to the humic materials. Increasing the levels of inorganic nutrients fed to the chemostats during the humic acid adaptation had little effect on the suppressive influence of the humic acids, indicating that nutrient limitation was probably not responsible for the metabolic suppression. The results of the study suggest that long-term exposure to humic acids can reduce the ability of microbial communities to respond to monosubstituted phenols.
Political and Sexual Conflict in Vergil and Propertius: Dido's Loss and Cynthia's Triumph
Creators: name: Kendall, Chandler

Year: 2023

description: Propertius 4.7-8 contains a provocative complex of political terms arises between the speaker and his beloved Cynthia. Such political terms are integral to the way that the lover-poet brings closure to his lengthy relationship with her. Propertius evokes critical moments from Aeneid 4 and 12, points of conflict when Aeneas’ sexual relationships are at stake. The status of Aeneas’ sexual relationships is tied to concepts central to the nascent Roman monarchy of the Augustan principate that we find in Propertius 4.7-8. I draw on the work of the feminist and psychoanalytic theorist Alenka Zupančič and her concepts of “sexual difference” and “sexual division.” I use her theoretic framing to argue that in poems 4.7 and 8, Propertius responds to the political significance of Aeneas’ sexual relationships by reformulating these political terms to portray the Propertian speaker’s contradictory enjoyment of sexual liberation that emerges from Cynthia’s militarized dominance over him.
title: Studies on a mycoplasma gallisepticum-like organism isolated from the humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti)
Creators: name: Anne Yavari, Christine
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Mycoplasma sp. strain 56A97 was isolated from the liver of a 10-day-old Humboldt penguin from a breeding colony at Chester Zoo. The Humboldt penguin is an endangered species and breeding programmes have been established in zoos worldwide. Initial testing of strain 56A97 indicated that it cross-reacted serologically with Mycoplasma gallisepticum, an important respiratory pathogen of poultry. Mycoplasma imitans, found in ducks and geese, also shows serological cross-reactions with M. gallisepticum but it is a distinct species, although their 16S rRNA genes have 99.9% similarity. Characterisation studies were undertaken to establish the taxonomic status of strain 56A97 to fulfil the minimum standards for description a new species within the class Mollicutes. Electron microscopy confirmed that strain 56A97 lacked a rigid cell wall, was bounded by a tri-laminar membrane and had an attachment organelle. It required sterol and did not catabolise urea and could thus be assigned to the class Mollicutes, order Mycoplasmatales, family Mycoplasmataceae genus Mycoplasma. Strain 56A97 was serologically distinct from 107 recognised Mycoplasma spp. as determined by growth inhibition and immunofluorescence. Metabolism inhibition strongly suggested that it was distinct from M. gallisepticum and M. imitans. The 16S rRNA gene of strain 56A97 was 99.6% similar to that of M. gallisepticum and 99.6% similar to M. imitans. It was possible to distinguish between the three species without DNA sequencing by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of the 16S rRNA genes. Furthermore a 400 base pair target within the rpoB of strain 56A97 was 91 - 92% similar to the same target in five M. gallisepticum strains, which themselves were 98-100% similar. The 16S-23S rRNA intergenic spacer region (ISR) of strain 56A97 was 72-73% similar to the five M. gallisepticum strains, whose similarity ranged from 96 100%. Phylogenetic analysis of the three genomic regions was performed. A strain 56A97-specific PCR was developed using a primer targeting the ISR. Preliminary pathogenicity studies in chick embryo tracheal organ cultures (TOCs) and embryonated chicken eggs showed that strain 56A97 caused ciliostasis in the TOCs and mortality and stunting in embryos. Strain 56A97 DNA was detected in 82% of 101 healthy Humboldt penguins from eight collections and in 62% African penguins (Spheniscus demersus) in another. Isolates were recovered from 14 healthy Humboldt penguins and two African penguins. They were typed serologically and by RFLP as strain 56A97. King and Rockhopper penguins, which belong to another genus, did not appear to be infected despite co-habiting with infected penguins. In a parallel study the 16S-23S rRNA ISR and a target within the mgc2 gene of M. gallisepticum were amplified in 57 strains of M. gallisepticum and analysis of the results indicated a potential value for strain differentiation and epidemiological investigations.

description: In this work we investigate the renormalization group flow of the cosmological constant $Λ$ induced by the change in space-time curvature in the electroweak vacuum. We calculate the generic magnitude resulting from running in the standard model in a subtraction scheme that respects the Appelquist-Carazzone decoupling theorem. Interestingly, we find in this prescription that for a non-minimal coupling $ξ\lesssim 10^4$ the magnitude of the generated contribution remains below the value consistent with observations.

Perceptions and Attitudes toward L1 Singapore English Speakers: A Critique of the "Native Speaker" Notion
Creators: name: Bappe, Cay
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2023

description: The current study attempts to provide additional insight to the native speaker issue by looking at the case of Singapore English speakers. An online survey containing audio samples of American and Singaporean speech and a series of statements was distributed to American (US) and Singaporean (SG) participants. Participants listened to samples then rated their level of agreement with each statement. The data was separated into three categories, “nativeness” rating, status ratings, and solidarity ratings. Singapore English speech was perceived as less "native" than American English speech, and this perception correlated with being perceived as less proficient, fluent, and natural in English. Under a definition where a “native speaker” acquires the language in childhood and is widely understood by other speakers, L1 Singapore English speakers would be categorized as native. Despite this, they are judged to be less native by both US and SG listeners.
Virion conformational forms and the complex inactivation kinetics of echovirus by chlorine in water.

description: Aberrant inactivation kinetics were observed when monodispersed echovirus type 1 (Farouk) was inactivated with chlorine. An initial 1- to 2-log10-unit decrease in titer was followed by lag period, during which the titer stayed the same or increased, and this was followed by a final decline in titer. First-order kinetics were obtained with poliovirus type 1 under the same conditions. Isoelectric focusing studies of echovirus before chlorine treatment showed that the virus distributed into two pH-dependent and interconvertible isoelectric forms. After chlorine treatment all remaining virus infectivity was associated with a third pH-independent isoelectric form. The complex inactivation kinetics appeared to be due to shifts between these conformational forms during inactivation in certain ionic environments. Under certain conditions the conformational shifts resulted in substantial resistance of monodispersed echovirus to chlorine.

description: Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has recently become an important challenge when using deep learning (DL). It requires large-scale training datasets and high computational and storage resources. Moreover, DL techniques and machine learning (ML) approaches in general, hypothesize that training and testing data come from the same domain, with the same input feature space and data distribution characteristics. This assumption, however, is not applicable in some real-world artificial intelligence (AI) applications. Moreover, there are situations where gathering real data is challenging, expensive, or rarely occurring, which can not meet the data requirements of DL models. deep transfer learning (DTL) has been introduced to overcome these issues, which helps develop high-performing models using real datasets that are small or slightly different but related to the training data. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of DTL-based ASR frameworks to shed light on the latest developments and helps academics and professionals understand current challenges. Specifically, after presenting the DTL background, a well-designed taxonomy is adopted to inform the state-of-the-art. A critical analysis is then conducted to identify the limitations and advantages of each framework. Moving on, a comparative study is introduced to highlight the current challenges before deriving opportunities for future research.

description: The present article explored the functioning of working memory in depressed people. The goal of the present study is to assess the impact of Major Depression disorder on the functioning of working memory within a group of depressed adults. The participants were divided into two groups: a group of 27 depressed patients and a control group of 20 normal subjects. Several tasks were used to assess three components of working memory. The study compared working memory performance using a forward digit span test to assess the phonological loop, a backward digit span to assess the central executive and Corsi block-tapping test. for the visuospatial sketchpad. The group with depression showed low performance only in measures of central executive, compared with the control group, which is consistent with theories of resources allocation (e.g. Resource Allocation, Model (RAM)).

description: Inverse rendering methods that account for global illumination are becoming more popular, but current methods require evaluating and automatically differentiating millions of path integrals by tracing multiple light bounces, which remains expensive and prone to noise. Instead, this paper proposes a radiometric prior as a simple alternative to building complete path integrals in a traditional differentiable path tracer, while still correctly accounting for global illumination. Inspired by the Neural Radiosity technique, we use a neural network as a radiance function, and we introduce a prior consisting of the norm of the residual of the rendering equation in the inverse rendering loss. We train our radiance network and optimize scene parameters simultaneously using a loss consisting of both a photometric term between renderings and the multi-view input images, and our radiometric prior (the residual term). This residual term enforces a physical constraint on the optimization that ensures that the radiance field accounts for global illumination. We compare our method to a vanilla differentiable path tracer, and more advanced techniques such as Path Replay Backpropagation. Despite the simplicity of our approach, we can recover scene parameters with comparable and in some cases better quality, at considerably lower computation times.

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF THE SEISMICALLY ACTIVE LITTLE RIVER FAULT AND ITS CONNECTION TO REGIONAL BRITTLE STRUCTURES

description: On August 9, 2020, the Mw 5.1 earthquake near the town of Sparta, North Carolina created the first-documented seismic surface rupture (Little River fault) in eastern United States. Through field mapping and LiDAR analysis, I found that the surface break extends for 3.4 km and produced a fault scarp that is variable in height (1.5 – 28 cm). My detailed bedrock mapping shows that the trace of the Little River fault cuts the contact between a magnetic gneiss (Alligator Back Metamorphic Suite) and a nonmagnetic gneiss (Ashe Metamorphic Suite). Our magnetic map shows truncation of the magnetic gneiss near the Little River fault. Approximately 100 minor brittle fault surfaces were measured throughout the mapping area. The slickensides are most likely made of clay minerals with a late Mn, Fe, and clay coating. Paleostress analysis yielded two main stress tensors: a NW-SE maximum compressive stress (n=78) and NE-SW maximum compressive stress (n=11).

description: The ability of subsurface microbial communities to adapt to the biodegradation of xenobiotic compounds was examined in aquifer solids samples from a pristine aquifer. An increase in the rates of mineralization of radiolabeled substrates with exposure was used as an indication of adaptation. For some compounds, such as chlorobenzene and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, slight mineralization was observed but no adaptation was apparent during incubations of over 8 months. Other compounds demonstrated three patterns of response. For m-cresol, m-aminophenol, and aniline intermediate rates of biodegradation and a linear increase in the percent mineralized with time were observed. Phenol, p-chlorophenol, and ethylene dibromide were rapidly metabolized initially, with a nonlinear increase in the percent mineralized with time, indicating that the community was already adapted to the biodegradation of these compounds. Only p-nitrophenol demonstrated a typical adaptation response. In different samples of soil from the same layer in the aquifer, the adaptation period to p-nitrophenol varied from a few days to as long as 6 weeks. In most cases the concentration of xenobiotic added, over the range from a few nanograms to micrograms per gram, made no difference in the response. Most-probable-number counts demonstrated that adaptation is accompanied by an increase in specific degrader numbers. This study has shown that diverse patterns of response occur in the subsurface microbial community.

description: Here we report on the effect of rare earth Gd-doping on the magnetic properties and magnetotransport of GaN two-dimensional electron gasses (2DEGs). Samples are grown by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy and consist of AlN/GaN heterostructures where Gd is delta-doped within a polarization-induced 2DEG. Ferromagnetism is observed in these Gd-doped 2DEGs with a Curie temperature above room temperature and an anisotropic spontaneous magnetization preferring an out-of-plane (c-axis) orientation. At magnetic fields up to 50 kOe, the magnetization remains smaller for in-plane configuration than for out-of-plane, which is indicative of exchange coupled spins locked along the polar c-axis. The sample with the lowest Gd concentration (2.3 $\times$ $10^{14}$ cm$^{-2}$) exhibits a saturation magnetization of 41.1 $μ_B/Gd^{3+}$ at 5 K revealing that the Gd ion spins (7 $μ_B$) alone do not account for the magnetization. Surprisingly, control samples grown without any Gd display inconsistent magnetic properties; in some control samples weak ferromagnetism is observed and in others paramagnetism. The ferromagnetic 2DEGs do not exhibit the anomalous Hall effect; the Hall resistance varies non-linearly with the magnetic field, but does not track the magnetization indicating the lack of coupling between the ferromagnetic phase and the conduction band electrons within the 2DEG.

description: In the context of filtering chaotic dynamical systems it is well-known that partial observations, if sufficiently informative, can be used to control the inherent uncertainty due to chaos. The purpose of this paper is to investigate, both theoretically and numerically, conditions on the observations of chaotic systems under which they can be accurately filtered. In particular, we highlight the advantage of adaptive observation operators over fixed ones. The Lorenz '96 model is used to exemplify our findings. We consider discrete-time and continuous-time observations in our theoretical developments. We prove that, for fixed observation operator, the 3DVAR filter can recover the system state within a neighbourhood determined by the size of the observational noise. It is required that a sufficiently large proportion of the state vector is observed, and an explicit form for such sufficient fixed observation operator is given. Numerical experiments, where the data is incorporated by use of the 3DVAR and extended Kalman filters, suggest that less informative fixed operators than given by our theory can still lead to accurate signal reconstruction. Adaptive observation operators are then studied numerically; we show that, for carefully chosen adaptive observation operators, the proportion of the state vector that needs to be observed is drastically smaller than with a fixed observation operator. Indeed, we show that the number of state coordinates that need to be observed may even be significantly smaller than the total number of positive Lyapunov exponents of the underlying system.

description: In this work, we obtain a simple measure factor for the $λ$ and $θ$ zero-mode integrations in the pure-spinor formalism in the context of an $\mathcal{N}$ = 4, d = 4 theory. We show that the measure can be defined unambiguously up to BRST-trivial terms and an overall factor, and is much simpler than (although equivalent to) the expression obtained by dimensional reduction from the $\mathcal{N}$ = 1, d = 10 measure factor. We also give two explicit examples of how to obtain the dual to a vertex operator using this measure.

FastAMI -- a Monte Carlo Approach to the Adjustment for Chance in Clustering Comparison Metrics

description: Clustering is at the very core of machine learning, and its applications proliferate with the increasing availability of data. However, as datasets grow, comparing clusterings with an adjustment for chance becomes computationally difficult, preventing unbiased ground-truth comparisons and solution selection. We propose FastAMI, a Monte Carlo-based method to efficiently approximate the Adjusted Mutual Information (AMI) and extend it to the Standardized Mutual Information (SMI). The approach is compared with the exact calculation and a recently developed variant of the AMI based on pairwise permutations, using both synthetic and real data. In contrast to the exact calculation our method is fast enough to enable these adjusted information-theoretic comparisons for large datasets while maintaining considerably more accurate results than the pairwise approach.

description: The practically important problem of the wave run-up is studied in this article in the framework of Nonlinear Shallow Water Equations (NSWE). The main novelty consists in the usage of high order local asymptotic analytical solutions in the vicinity of the shoreline. Namely, we use the analytical techniques introduced by S. Kovalevskaya and the analogy with the compressible gas dynamics (i.e. gas outflow problem into the vacuum). Our run-up algorithm covers all the possible cases of the wave slope on the shoreline and it incorporates the new analytical information in order to determine the shoreline motion to higher accuracy. The application of this algorithm is illustrated on several important practical examples. Finally, the simulation results are compared with the well-known analytical and experimental predictions.

Effect of ring-exchange interactions in the extended Kitaev honeycomb model

description: Motivated by the possible triple-$\bf Q$ classical order in the Kitaev candidate material Na$_2$Co$_2$TeO$_6$, we investigate microscopic models that may stabilize the triple-$\bf Q$ order by studying an extended Kitaev honeycomb model with ring-exchange interactions (namely, the $K$-$Γ$-$Γ'$-$J_{\rm R}$ model) using the variational Monte Carlo method. It turns out that with positive ring-exchange interaction ($J_{\rm R}>0$) there indeed appears an exotic non-coplanar triple-$\bf Q$ ordered state featured by three Bragg peaks at symmetry-related M points in the crystallographic Brillouin zone. A magnetic field in the honeycomb plane can suppress the triple-$\bf Q$ order and induce a gapless quantum spin liquid (QSL) with 8 cones. Furthermore, with the increase of $J_{\rm R}$ a proximate Kitaev spin liquid with eight Majorana cones labeled "PKSL8" is found which is very stable over a large range of $Γ$ interactions. The PKSL8 state shares the same projective symmetry group with the Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) which is located at small $Γ$ and $J_{\rm R}$. In a weak magnetic field applied normal to the honeycomb plane, the PKSL8 turns into an Abelian chiral spin liquid with Chern number $ν=-4$, unlike the KSL which yields a chiral spin liquid with $ν=1$. Since the triple-$\bf Q$ phase is adjacent to two QSLs in the phase diagram, our work suggests that it is more hopeful to experimentally realize the exotic QSL phases starting from the triple-$\bf Q$ order.
