description: The proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-1β (IL-1β) is known to be upregulated in patients suffering from metabolic syndrome. IL-1β contributes to insulin resistance in obesity and type 2 diabetes, yet its influence on the intestinal microbiome is incompletely understood. The data presented here demonstrate that mice genetically deficient in IL-1β show a specific alteration of intestinal colonisation of a small group of bacteria. Especially Akkermansia muciniphila, a bacterium reported to be inversely associated with obesity, diabetes, cardiometabolic diseases and low-grade inflammation, showed increased colonisation in IL-1β knockout mice. In comparative microarray analysis from mucus scrapings of the colon mucosa of IL-1β knockout and wildtype mice, angiogenin 4 mRNA was strongly reduced in IL-1β knockout animals. Since the presence of angiogenin 4 in the culture medium showed a significant growth inhibition on A. muciniphila which was not detectable for other bacteria tested, IL-1β induced expression of angiogenin 4 is a strong candidate to be responsible for the IL-1β induced suppression of A. muciniphila colonisation. Thus, the data presented here indicate that IL-1β might be the lacking link between inflammation and suppression of A. muciniphila abundance as observed in a variety of chronic inflammatory disorders.

description: Active fluids and growing interfaces are two well-studied but very different non-equilibrium systems. Each exhibits non-equilibrium behavior quite different from that of their equilibrium counterparts. Here we demonstrate a surprising connection between these two: the ordered phase of incompressible polar active fluids in two spatial dimensions without momentum conservation, and growing one-dimensional interfaces (that is, the 1+1-dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation), in fact belong to the same universality class. This universality class also includes two equilibrium systems : two-dimensional smectic liquid crystals, and a peculiar kind of constrained two-dimensional ferromagnet. We use these connections to show that two-dimensional incompressible flocks are robust against fluctuations, and exhibit universal long-ranged, anisotropic spatio-temporal correlations of those fluctuations. We also thereby determine the exact values of the anisotropy exponent $ζ$ and the roughness exponents $χ_{_{x,y}}$ that characterize these correlations.

description: The Vancouver Olympic Organizing Committee has promised that they will host the "Sustainable Olympics" when they host the Winter Olympic Games in 2010. Although few would argue that sustainability is unimportant, the idea of sustainability is sufficiently vague that part of the challenge facing VANOC will be to define sustainability in the urban mega-event planning process. I propose that this can be accomplished by looking to prominent sustainability material to create a sustainability framework. By applying this matrix to Olympic material from 1994 to 2004 and to the promises of the Vancouver Olympics, a framework for defining sustainability in the urban mega-event planning process is revealed.
description: Le comité organisateur des Jeux olympiques de Vancouver (COVAN) a promis des « Oympiques durables » pour les Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 2010. Si certains sont prêts à affirmer que la durabilité est sans importance, la notion est suffisamment vague pour qu'une partie du défi qui incombe au COVAN soit justement de la définir dans le cadre de la démarche de planification de ce méga-événement en milieu urbain. J'avance que cela peut être possible en s'inspirant du matériel important consacré à la durabilité pour formuler un cadre de durabilité. En appliquant cette matrice aux acquis olympiques de 1994 à 2004 et aux promesses associées aux Jeux olympiques de Vancouver, il se dégage un cadre de définition de la durabilité dans le contexte de la démarche de planification du méga-événement en milieu urbain.

description: The impact of large-scale caldera-forming eruptions on our society and climate can be considerable. The triggering mechanisms of these eruptions and the instability of their magmatic systems are still elusive. Here we use X-ray tomographic microscopy, glass geochemistry and volatile element concentration data on the products of the 946 CE ‘Millennium’ eruption (ME) of Changbaishan volcano (China/North Korea) with the aim to identify the triggering mechanism of the eruption. ME emitted rhyolites and trachytes whose textural parameters suggest vesiculation events related to crystallization and magma ascent in the conduit, and to the arrival of new gas in the magmatic system. Solubility models show that the CO2 and H2O dissolved in the glass are consistent with a pressure of 100–200 MPa. Literature data from fluid inclusions in minerals indicate that the residing magma was CO2 free before the eruption, whereas the CO2 content in the glass reaches 600 ppm at the flash of the ME event. We find that a single, shallow magma reservoir localized between 7.5 and 3.7 km depth in which rhyolites occupies the top and trachytes the bottom is fully destabilized by the arrival of external CO2-rich fluids. Such fluids are released from a deeper, carbonate-rich mantle source. Our results and those of independent geophysical data show that the ME magmatic system is still active, and the continuous upraising of fluids from depth may drive unrest episodes like that recorded in 2002–2006. Our findings elucidate the role of deep, mantle-derived fluids in driving large-scale explosive eruptions. We provide evidence that volcanic unrests may not mirror the internal dynamics of magmatic reservoirs.

Investigating the Contributions of Blood-Brain Barrier Dysfunction to the Risk of Cognitive Decline and Dementia in Individuals with Atrial Fibrillation

description: Despite evidence for an association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and cognitive decline and dementia independent of stroke, pathways underlying this relationship remain unclear. Critically, elevated levels of inflammatory markers, common in AF, are associated with the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and may contribute to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. To investigate this potential contributing pathway, we estimated associations of inflammatory markers with cognitive decline and dementia in AF adults. We used data from two population-based cohorts and found that inflammatory markers were associated with cognitive decline but not dementia. Some associations were modified by sex and apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype. These findings provide preliminary evidence for inflammatory-mediated BBB dysfunction as a potential contributing pathway linking AF to cognitive decline. Future work examining the role of BBB dysfunction in AF and cognition may benefit from the use of markers of central inflammation to increase sensitivity, while considering possible differences by sex, dementia subtype, and APOE genotype.

description: We use extensive first-principles quantum mechanical calculations to show that, although the static lattice and harmonic vibrational energies are almost identical, the anharmonic vibrational energy of hexagonal ice is significantly lower than that of cubic ice. This difference in anharmonicity is crucial, stabilising hexagonal ice compared with cubic ice by at least 1.4 meV/H2O, in agreement with experimental estimates. The difference in anharmonicity arises predominantly from molecular O-H bond stretching vibrational modes and is related to the different stacking of atomic layers.

description: The North Tianshan Ocean represents a critical southwestern segment of the Paleo-Asian Ocean and is crucial for understanding accretionary and collisional processes of the southwestern Central Asian Orogenic Belt. The Dananhu arc belt, an important porphyry Cu deposit metallogenic belt in the eastern North Tianshan, records Paleozoic episodic magmatism. However, the tectonic affinity and evolution processes of the Dananhu arc belt are still open to debate. Here, geochronology, major and trace elements, and Sr-Nd-Hf isotope compositions for magmatic rocks are conducted to reveal the ages, petrogenesis, and tectonic settings of these magmatic rocks in the Dannanhu arc belt. The Carboniferous dacite (328 Ma) and gneissic granite (310 Ma) show high-K calc-alkaline, enriched in large ion lithophile elements (LILEs; e.g. Rb, Th, and U), depleted in high field strength elements (HFSEs; e.g. Nb, Ta, and Ti), depleted isotopic compositions (εNd(t) = 1.3-3.4; εHt(t) = 0.5-12.5) and juvenile Nd-Hf model ages. Combining these Carboniferous magmatic rocks with the features of high Sr-Ba granitoid and Sr-Nd isotopic decoupling, we suggest that these Carboniferous rocks were probably formed through fractional crystallization of partial melting of mantle wedge that had been metasomatized by melts from subducted sediments in a forearc setting. The early Permian granites (289-276 Ma) show high K2O+Na2O (6.9-8.9 wt.%), low MgO (0.06-0.15 wt.%) contents, high positive zircon εHt(t) (10.5 to 12.1) and whole-rock εNd(t) (4.4-5.5) values, suggesting that the early Permian granites were derived from juvenile lower crust in a post-collisional setting. Our geochronological and geochemical data, together with published data, reveal that high flux arc magmatism with age peaks at ca. 431 and 332 Ma is consistent with porphyry copper mineralization in the Dananhu arc belt, implying a close genetic relationship. The final closure of the North Tianshan Ocean was constrained to the late Carboniferous and early Permian.

We also introduce a rigorous distinction between Dark Energy and Modified Gravity based on the strong and weak equivalence principles.

description: We introduce the concept of entropic nonsignaling correlations, i.e., entropies arising from probabilistic theories that are compatible with the fact that we cannot transmit information instantaneously. We characterize and show the relevance of these entropic correlations in a variety of different scenarios, ranging from typical Bell experiments to more refined descriptions such as bilocality and information causality. In particular, we apply the framework to derive the first entropic inequality testing genuine tripartite nonlocality in quantum systems of arbitrary dimension and also prove the first known monogamy relation for entropic Bell inequalities. Further, within the context of complex Bell networks, we show that entropic nonlocal correlations can be activated.

description: In this paper we revisit coronoids, in particular multiple coronoids. We consider a mathematical formalisation of the theory of coronoid hydrocarbons that is solely based on incidence between hexagons of the infinite hexagonal grid in the plane. In parallel, we consider perforated patches, which generalise coronoids: in addition to hexagons, other polygons may also be present. Just as coronoids may be considered as benzenoids with holes, perforated patches are patches with holes. Both cases, coronoids and perforated patches, admit a generalisation of the altan operation that can be performed at several holes simultaneously. A formula for the number of Kekulé structures of a generalised altan can be derived easily if the number of Kekulé structures is known for the original graph. Pauling Bond Orders for generalised altans are also easy to derive from those of the original graph.

The assumption motivating this study is that insight into the reading habits of users can be helpful to design better news recommendation systems. We estimated the transition probabilities that users who read an article of one news category will move to read an article of another (not necessarily distinct) news category. For this, we analyzed the users' click behavior within plista data set. Key findings are the popularity of category local, loyalty of readers to the same category, observing similar results when addressing enforced click streams, and the case that click behavior is highly influenced by the news category.

description: We demonstrate an ultralow-noise microrod-resonator based laser that oscillates on the gain supplied by the stimulated Brillouin scattering optical nonlinearity. Microresonator Brillouin lasers are known to offer an outstanding frequency noise floor, which is limited by fundamental thermal fluctuations. Here, we show experimental evidence that thermal effects also dominate the close-to-carrier frequency fluctuations. The 6-mm diameter microrod resonator used in our experiments has a large optical mode area of ~100 μm$^2$, and hence its 10 ms thermal time constant filters the close-to-carrier optical frequency noise. The result is an absolute laser linewidth of 240 Hz with a corresponding white-frequency noise floor of 0.1 Hz$^2$/Hz. We explain the steady-state performance of this laser by measurements of its operation state and of its mode detuning and lineshape. Our results highlight a mechanism for noise that is common to many microresonator devices due to the inherent coupling between intracavity power and mode frequency. We demonstrate the ability to reduce this noise through a feedback loop that stabilizes the intracavity power.

description: Protected areas are important for both conserving natural resources and providing visitor experiences, but these two objectives are sometimes compromised when visitors do not comply with regulations. This issue was explored in a study in Canada’s Pacific Rim National Park Reserve where non-compliance with off-leash dog regulations has led to negative impacts on wolves, shorebirds and visitor experiences. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) was applied to explore factors that influence non-compliance with off-leash dog regulations. This study found moderate to strong relationships between visitor behavioural intentions towards compliance and the three concepts associated with the TPB that may shape intentions: attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control. Weaker relationships were found between these concepts and beliefs thought to influence each concept. The relationship between intentions to comply and actual compliance behaviour was weaker, but these predictions became stronger when past behaviour regarding leashing dogs in the park (habit) was considered. This paper discusses how habitual off-leash dog walking affects TPB’s ability to predict future behaviour of dog walkers, and how management strategies aimed at providing persuasive arguments for dog leashing are not likely to be as successful, unless combined with other approaches outlined in the paper.

Quantum enhanced estimation of a multi-dimensional field

description: We present a framework for the quantum enhanced estimation of multiple parameters corresponding to non-commuting unitary generators. Our formalism provides a recipe for the simultaneous estimation of all three components of a magnetic field. We propose a probe state that surpasses the precision of estimating the three components individually and discuss measurements that come close to attaining the quantum limit. Our study also reveals that too much quantum entanglement may be detrimental to attaining the Heisenberg scaling in quantum metrology.

Note on Spin-2 Particle Interpretation of the 750~GeV Diphoton Excess

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

description: We explore the possibility to explain the 750 GeV diphoton excess recently measured by ATLAS and CMS collaborations in terms of a massive spin-2 particle. In particular, we consider the case in which the top-quark loops can give the similar amplitudes as the tree-level contributions to the diphoton and digluon channels. Such a scenario can be naturally realized in the generalized warped extra dimension models. As a result, the parameter space favored by the diphoton data implies that the top-quark loop contribution can compete to and even dominate over the tree-level amplitude in the spin-2 particle production via the gluon-gluon fusion process. Similar results are obtained for the case in which the spin-2 particle induces large invisible decay branching ratios, as indicated by the ATLAS data.

description: We investigate eigenfunctions of the Laplacian perturbed by a delta potential on the standard tori $\mathbb{R}^d/2 π\mathbb{Z}^d$ in dimensions $d=2,3$. Despite quantum ergodicity holding for the set of "new" eigenfunctions we show that there is scarring in the momentum representation for $d=2,3$, as well as in the position representation for $d=2$ (i.e., the eigenfunctions fail to equidistribute in phase space along an infinite subsequence of new eigenvalues.) For $d=3$, scarred eigenstates are quite rare, but for $d=2$ scarring in the momentum representation is very common --- with $N_{2}(x) \sim x/\sqrt{\log x}$ denoting the counting function for the new eigenvalues below $x$, there are $\gg N_{2}(x)/\log^A x$ eigenvalues corresponding to momentum scarred eigenfunctions.
