description: While deep learning has made impressive progress in speech synthesis and voice conversion, the assessment of the synthesized speech is still carried out by human participants. Several recent papers have proposed deep-learning-based assessment models and shown the potential to automate the speech quality assessment. To improve the previously proposed assessment model, MOSNet, we propose three models using cluster-based modeling methods: using a global quality token (GQT) layer, using an Encoding Layer, and using both of them. We perform experiments using the evaluation results of the Voice Conversion Challenge 2018 to predict the mean opinion score of synthesized speech and similarity score between synthesized speech and reference speech. The results show that the GQT layer helps to predict human assessment better by automatically learning the useful quality tokens for the task and that the Encoding Layer helps to utilize frame-level scores more precisely.

On stability and spiral patterns in polar disks

description: To investigate the stability properties of polar disks we performed two-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations for flat polytropic gaseous self-gravitating disks which were perturbed by a central S0-like component. Our disk was constructed to resemble that of the proto-typical galaxy NGC 4650A. This central perturbation induces initially a stationary two-armed tightly-wound leading spiral in the polar disk. For a hot disk (Toomre parameter Q>1.7), the structure does not change over the simulation time of 4.5 Gyr. In case of colder disks, the self-gravity of the spiral becomes dominant, it decouples from the central perturbation and grows, until reaching a saturation stage in which an open trailing spiral is formed, rather similar to that observed in NGC4650A. The timescale for developing non-linear structures is 1-2 Gyr; saturation is reached within 2-3 Gyr. The main parameter controlling the structure formation is the Toomre parameter. The results are surprisingly insensitive to the properties of the central component. If the polar disk is much less massive than that in NGC4650A, it forms a weaker tightly-wound spiral, similar to that seen in dust absorption in the dust disk of NGC2787. Our results are derived for a polytropic equation of state, but appear to be generic as the adiabatic exponent is varied between γ= 1 (isothermal) and γ= 2 (very stiff).

description: The spin dynamics of mixed-valence YbB12 has been studied by inelastic neutron scattering on a high-quality single crystal. In the Kondo-insulating regime realized at low temperature, the spectra exhibit a spin-gap structure with two sharp, dispersive, in-gap excitations at E = 14.5 and approximately 20 meV. The lower mode is shown to be associated with short-range correlations near the antiferromagnetic wave vector q0 = (1/2, 1/2, 1/2). Its properties are in overall agreement with those expected for a "spin exciton'' branch in an indirect hybridization gap semiconductor.

Same-sign top quarks as signature of light stops at the CERN LHC

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We present a new method to search for a light scalar top with $m_{\tilde{t}_1}\lsim m_t$, decaying dominantly into a c-jet and the lightest neutralino, at the LHC. The principal idea is to exploit the Majorana nature of the gluino, leading to same-sign top quarks in events of gluino-pair production followed by gluino decays into top and stop. The resulting signature is 2 b-jets plus 2 same-sign leptons plus additional jets and missing energy. We perform a Monte Carlo simulation for a benchmark scenario, which is in agreement with the recent WMAP bound on the relic density of dark matter, and demonstrate that for $m_{\tilde{g}}\lsim 900$ GeV and $m_{\tilde{q}}>m_{\tilde{g}}$ the signal can be extracted from the background. Moreover, we discuss the determination of the stop and gluino masses from the shape of invariant-mass distributions. The derivation of the shape formulae is also given.

Effective theory approach to brane world black holes

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We derive static spherically-symmetric vacuum solutions of the low-energy effective action for the two brane Randall-Sundrum model. The solutions with non-trivial radion belong to a one-parameter family describing traversable wormholes between the branes and a black hole, and were first discovered in the context of Einstein gravity with a conformally-coupled scalar field. From a brane world perspective, a distinctive feature of all the solutions with non-trivial radion is a brane intersection about which the bulk geometry is conical but the induced metrics on the branes are regular. Contrary to earlier claims in the literature, we show these solutions are stable under monopole perturbations.

description: The need for a classification model to carry out field-based assessment of the yield of maize plant based on severity
of symptoms informed this research. The study proposes a fuzzy-based model with triangular membership functions for the fuzzification of risk factors which were identified by experts of maize plant yield. Thirty-two rules were inferred using IF-THEN statements which adopted the values of the
associated risk factors as antecedent and the yield of maize plant as the consequent part. The fuzzy logic model was simulated using five risk factors as input variables and the plant’s yield as the output variable. The results showed that associated risk factors include the presence of black mould growth; blights on leaves, rots on cobs, infected husks and black kernels, and seed decay have noticeable influence on the yield of maize plant. The study concluded that the lesser the presence of such risk factors, the higher the yield of the maize plant.

description: The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft will pass approximately downstream of the position of comet C/2019 Y4 (ATLAS) in late May and early June 2020. We predict that the spacecraft may encounter the comet's ion tail around 2020 May 31-June 1, and that the comet's dust tail may be crossed on 2020 June 6. We outline the solar wind features and dust grain collisions that the spacecraft's instruments may detect when crossing the comet's two tails. Solar Orbiter will also pass close to the orbital path of C/2020 F8 (SWAN) on 2020 May 22, but we believe that it is unlikely to detect any material associated with that comet.

description: In this article, I explore ideas from Jo Boaler’s recent (2009) book about children learning mathematics, some views of educationalists and academics and link these to my own observations. The article summarises a key aspect of how children learn effectively and how this is (or is not) supported by teaching methodology. This summary is put into the context of some unpublished research carried out with another colleague some years ago and observations of secondary trainee mathematics teachers. The article looks at the premise that children are encouraged to talk and the reasons why this might be effective in helping them understand concepts better by involving the input of their peers.
Little spatial and temporal segregation between coexisting lionfishes (Pterois miles and Pterois radiata) in the Red Sea

Publisher: name: Brill Online

Subjects: subject: 60399 Evolutionary Biology not elsewhere classified

description: Spatial and temporal niche partitioning are common strategies to reduce competition between closely related species. While spatial partitioning is widely studied, temporal partitioning, especially in marine environments, is much less documented. The lionfish Pterois miles is common in the Red Sea and have recently established populations within the Mediterranean Sea. However, to date, the sympatric and closely related Pterois radiata has yet to become established outside its native range. In this study, we focus on describing spatio-temporal patterns of activity in P. miles and P. radiata within their native range. This may help understand their coexistence mechanisms and whether the presence of one species can influence the probability of the other species to become established. We used visual surveys across day and night to assess activity patterns and the tendency of the species to co-occur. We found that while P. miles is a flexible crepuscular, P. radiata is strictly nocturnal. However, we detected only slight spatio-temporal segregation between the species. Hence, the coexistence of these two species may not be related to habitat or temporal partitioning. However, we do find a more generalist behavior of P. miles in terms of activity duration, which adds to its known broad diet and habitat use patterns, and may jointly explain its introduction success.

description: Using data from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer we studied the mid infrared 3.4 $μ$m (W1-band) and 4.6 $μ$m (W2-band) flux variability of $γ$-ray emitting blazars. Our sample consists of 460 flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and 575 BL Lacertae (BL Lac) objects. On intra-day timescales, the median amplitude of variability ($σ_{m}$) for FSRQs is 0.04$^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$ mag and 0.05$^{+0.03}_{-0.02}$ mag in W1 and W2 bands. For BL Lacs we found median $σ_{m}$ in W1(W2) bands of 0.04$^{+0.01}_{-0.02}$ (0.04$^{+0.02}_{-0.02}$) mag. On long timescales, for FSRQs we found a median $σ_{m}$ of 0.44$^{+0.28}_{-0.27}$ mag and 0.45$^{+0.27}_{-0.27}$ mag in W1 and W2 bands, while for BL Lacs the median values are 0.21$^{+0.18}_{-0.12}$ mag and 0.22$^{+0.18}_{-0.11}$ mag in W1 and W2 bands. From statistical tests, we found FSRQs to show larger $σ_m$ than BL Lacs on both intra-day and long timescales. Among blazars, low synchrotron peaked (LSP) sources showed larger $σ_m$ compared to intermediate synchrotron peaked (ISP) and high synchrotron peaked (HSP) sources.The larger $σ_{m}$ seen in FSRQs relative to BL Lacs on both intra-day and long timescales could be due to them having the most powerful relativistic jets and/or their mid infrared band coinciding with the peak of the electron energy distribution. BL Lacs have low power jets and the observational window too traces the emission from low energy electrons, thereby leading to low $σ_{m}$. In both FSRQs and BL Lacs predominantly a bluer when brighter behaviour was observed. No correlation is found between $σ_m$ and black hole mass.

description: The harmonic balance method (HBM) was originally developed for finding periodic solutions of electronical and mechanical systems under a periodic force, but has later been adapted to self-sustained musical instruments. Unlike time-domain methods, this frequency-domain method does not capture transients and so is not adapted for sound synthesis. However, its independence of time makes it very useful for studying every periodic solution of the model, whether stable or unstable without care of initial conditions. A computer program for solving general problems involving nonlinearly coupled exciter and resonator, Harmbal, has been developed based on the HBM. The method as well as convergence improvements and continuations facilities are thorougly presented and discussed in the present paper. Application of the method is demonstrated on various problems related to a common model of the clarinet: a reed modelled as a simple spring with and without mass and damping, a nonlinear coupling and a cubic simplification of it, and a cylindrical bore with or without dissipation and dispersion as well as a bore formed as a stepped cone.

description: The concept of local concurrence is used to quantify the entanglement between a single qubit and the remainder of a multi-qubit system. For the ground state of the BCS model in the thermodynamic limit the set of local concurrences completely describe the entanglement. As a measure for the entanglement of the full system we investigate the Average Local Concurrence (ALC). We find that the ALC satisfies a simple relation with the order parameter. We then show that for finite systems with fixed particle number, a relation between the ALC and the condensation energy exposes a threshold coupling. Below the threshold, entanglement measures besides the ALC are significant.

description: In sequent calculi, cut elimination is a property that guarantees that any provable formula can be proven analytically. For example, Gentzen's classical and intuitionistic calculi LK and LJ enjoy cut elimination. The property is less studied in coinductive extensions of sequent calculi. In this paper, we use coinductive Horn clause theories to show that cut is not eliminable in a coinductive extension of LJ, a system we call CLJ. We derive two further practical results from this study. We show that CoLP by Gupta et al. gives rise to cut-free proofs in CLJ with fixpoint terms, and we formulate and implement a novel method of coinductive theory exploration that provides several heuristics for discovery of cut formulae in CLJ.

description: Layered delafossite-type compounds and related transition metal dichalcogenides, characterized by their triangular net structures, serve as prototypical systems for exploring the intricate interplay between crystal structure and magnetic behavior. Herein, we report on the discovery of the compound K$_{1-x}$CrSe$_2$ ($x \approx$ 0.13), an incommensurately modulated phase. Single crystals of this compound were grown for the first time using a K/Se self-flux. We find a monoclinic crystal structure with incommensurate modulation, that can be rationalized by a 3+1 dimensional model. This modulation compensates for the under-stoichiometry of K cations, creating pronounced undulations in the CrSe$_2$ layers. Our anisotropic magnetization measurements reveal that K$_{1-x}$CrSe$_2$ undergoes a transition to a long-range magnetically ordered state below $T_{\mathrm N}$ = 133 K, a temperature 1.6 to 3.3 times higher than in earlier reported KCrSe$_2$ compounds. Our findings open new avenues for tuning the magnetic properties of these layered materials through structural modulation.

We derive the general form of the correction, and investigate various methods for determining the parameters. Additionally, the correction methods are tested with highly absorbing fluorescein and melanin (broadband absorption) solutions; the expected linear relationships between absorption and emission are recovered upon application of the correction, indicating that the methods are valid. These procedures allow accurate quantitative analysis of the emission of low quantum yield samples (such as melanin) at concentrations where absorption is significant.

description: This case summarizes the 2006 fresh spinach recall and questions prompted by one of the largest outbreaks of foodborne illness in the United States in recent years — an estimated 4,000 cases. While every food recall is important and unique, the contamination of fresh spinach with the bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) O157:H7 during the summer and fall of 2006 and the breadth of the recall and the severity of the consequences from E. coli O157:H7 lend themselves to this exemplary case study. This study also helps illustrate the complexity of the food supply chain and the food recall process. A similar incident, involving fresh tomatoes and peppers rather than spinach, and Salmonella rather than E. coli, occurred in the spring and summer of 2008. It is explored briefly at the end of this case study.

description: The states generated by the two-spin generalization of the two-axis countertwisting Hamiltonian are examined. We analyze the behavior at both short and long timescales, by calculating various quantities such as squeezing, spin expectation values, probability distributions, entanglement, Wigner functions, and Bell correlations. In the limit of large spin ensembles and short interaction times, the state can be described by a two-mode squeezed vacuum state; for qubits, Bell state entanglement is produced. We find that the Hamiltonian approximately produces two types of spin-EPR states, and the time evolution produces aperiodic oscillations between them. In a similar way to the basis invariance of Bell states and two-mode squeezed vacuum states, the Fock state correlations of spin-EPR states are basis invariant. We find that it is possible to violate a Bell inequality with such states, although the violation diminishes with increasing ensemble size. Effective methods to detect entanglement are also proposed, and formulas for the optimal times to enhance various properties are calculated.

description: Oftentimes, prices at farmers' markets are much cheaper than those at grocery stores. However, little is known about the pricing relationship between farmers' markets and nearby grocery stores. Only by further analyzing this relationship can we gain a better understanding of these pricing trends. Although this trend is seemingly consistent, further research is necessary to test this assumption. Through the collection of prices at both locales, farmers' markets and grocery stores, producers as well as consumers will have access to current prices in both markets. In recent years, consumers are looking for local produce and are willing to pay for them as they are faced with increased grocery store prices, while producers are simultaneously seeking to increase their profit margins. This paper uses data that was collected over the course of one year while recording pricing trends from farmers' markets and nearby grocery stores. The survey also records demographic and operational data from individual producers and or vendors at those farmers' markets within the State of Florida. It is hypothesized that producers selling at farmers' markets are not receiving a price premium for their products and the current prices they charge are, on average, significantly less than those found at a grocery store. Research gives evidence that producers should be receiving a price premium for their products. It is believed that they are being paid only a portion of the true market value for their products. As a result of this research, farmers should have a better understanding of state-wide pricing trends at farmers' markets and grocery stores which in turn will help them make better, more informed decisions when pricing and marketing their specialty crops.

description: This is a blog post dated December 12, 2017 of a press release issued by LymeDisease.org entitled "Number one research priority for Lyme disease? Better testing". The post describes a three-step comprehensive and inclusive process to establish the top 10 research priorities in persistent Lyme disease. The process took place over the course of 2 years and included participation by over 7,000 patients, researchers, physicians, and advocacy groups. The first round of priority setting took place at a 2015 conference held by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. At that forum, 50 physicians, researchers, and patients developed a list of high priority questions for Lyme disease. Then, LymeDisease.org invited participants of the MyLymeData patient registry to rank the priorities established at the AAAS conference, and to submit additional questions as well. This became the second list. Next, the organization surveyed more than 5,000 members of the Lyme community at large. They were asked to rank the second list, and thus establish the final list of top ten research priorities.

description: This study identifies factors that influence primacy between generations in the management structure of U.S. family farms. The paper fills an important gap in the farm succession literature by exploring succession (in management of the farm) as an incremental process. Estimation with cross-sectional data from the USDAERS’ Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) and a limited dependent variable model is used to explain the decision for older generation operators to retain primary farm management duties with a junior operator serving a secondary role. We identify a number of statistically significant attributes that explain variation in the elder farmer’s role (primary versus secondary) in management of the farm. Our results suggest that transferring primary operator status is more influenced by family members’ characteristics and less so by farm financial and operating characteristics.

description: The most common type of cancer diagnosed among children is the Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (ALL). A study was conducted by Tata Translational Cancer Research Center (TTCRC) Kolkata, in which 236 children (diagnosed as ALL patients) were treated for the first two years (approximately) with two standard drugs (6MP and MTx) and were then followed nearly for the next 3 years. The goal is to identify the longitudinal biomarkers that are associated with time-to-relapse, and also to assess the effectiveness of the drugs. We develop a Bayesian joint model in which a linear mixed model is used to jointly model three biomarkers (i.e. white blood cell count, neutrophil count, and platelet count) and a semi-parametric proportional hazards model is used to model the time-to-relapse. Our proposed joint model can assess the effects of different covariates on the progression of the biomarkers, and the effects of the biomarkers (and the covariates) on time-to-relapse. In addition, the proposed joint model can impute the missing longitudinal biomarkers efficiently. Our analysis shows that the white blood cell (WBC) count is not associated with time-to-relapse, but the neutrophil count and the platelet count are significantly associated with it. We also infer that a lower dose of 6MP and a higher dose of MTx jointly result in a lower relapse probability in the follow-up period. Interestingly, we find that relapse probability is the lowest for the patients classified into the “high-risk” group at presentation. The effectiveness of the proposed joint model is assessed through the extensive simulation studies.

description: The main premise of this book is that, while leadership in schools is and has been an important and ongoing area of study, there has been little examination of the impact of leadership on learning and the resulting effect on raising student achievement. While I would not necessarily expect most head teachers to have this on their bookshelf as it does not lend itself to lifting ideas easily, there is much well-researched and -presented material here, with key points to reflect on and discuss, that makes it an ideal reader for a module on leadership in master’s-level study.

description: The parameters of yield response functions can vary by year. Past studies usually assume yield functions are nonstochastic or ‘limited’ stochastic. In this study, we estimate rye-ryegrass yield functions where all parameters are random. Optimal nitrogen rates are calculated for two yield response functions: linear response plateau and quadratic. Nonstochastic models are rejected in favor of stochastic parameter models. However, the economic benefits of using fully stochastic models are small since optimal nitrogen rates do not differ greatly between stochastic and nonstochastic models.
Evidence for Neutrino Mass: A Decade of Discovery

description: Neutrino mass and mixing are amongst the major discoveries of recent years. From the observation of flavor change in solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments to the measurements of neutrino mixing with terrestrial neutrinos, recent experiments have provided consistent and compelling evidence for the mixing of massive neutrinos. The discoveries at Super-Kamiokande, SNO, and KamLAND have solved the long-standing solar neutrino problem and demand that we make the first significant revision of the Standard Model in decades. Searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay probe the particle nature of neutrinos and continue to place limits on the effective mass of the neutrino. Possible signs of neutrinoless double-beta decay will stimulate neutrino mass searches in the next decade and beyond. I review the recent discoveries in neutrino physics and the current evidence for massive neutrinos.
