description: For networks of coupled dynamical systems we characterize admissible functions, that is, functions whose gradient is an admissible vector field. The schematic representation of a gradient network dynamical system is of an undirected cell graph, and we use tools from graph theory to deduce the general form of such functions, relating it to the topological structure of the graph defining the network. The coupling of pairs of dynamical systems cells is represented by edges of the graph, and from spectral graph theory we detect the existence and nature of equilibria of the gradient system from the critical points of the coupling function. In particular, we study fully synchronous and 2-state patterns of equilibria on regular graphs.These are two special types of equilibrium configurations for gradient networks. We also investigate equilibrium configurations of S1-invariant admissible functions on a ring of cells.

description: We measure the three-dimensional power spectrum (P3D) of the transmitted flux in the Lyman-a (Ly-a) forest using the complete extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey data release 16 (eBOSS DR16). This sample consists of 205,012 quasar spectra in the redshift range 2 <= z <= 4 at an effective redshift z=2.334. We propose a pair-count spectral estimator in configuration space, weighting each pair by exp(ikr), for wave vector k and pixel pair separation r, effectively measuring the anisotropic power spectrum without the need for fast Fourier transforms. This accounts for the window matrix in a tractable way, avoiding artifacts found in Fourier-transform based power spectrum estimators due to the sparse sampling transverse to the line-of-sight of Ly-a skewers. We extensively test our pipeline on two sets of mocks: (i) idealized Gaussian random fields with a sparse sampling of Ly-a skewers, and (ii) log-normal LyaCoLoRe mocks including realistic noise levels, the eBOSS survey geometry and contaminants. On eBOSS DR16 data, the Kaiser formula with a non-linear correction term obtained from hydrodynamic simulations yields a good fit to the power spectrum data in the range 0.02 <= k <= 0.35 h/Mpc at the 1-2 sigma level with a covariance matrix derived from LyaCoLoRe mocks. We demonstrate a promising new approach for full-shape cosmological analyses of Ly-a forest data from cosmological surveys such as eBOSS, the currently observing Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument and future surveys such as the Prime Focus Spectrograph, WEAVE-QSO and 4MOST.

description: Nuclear double $β^-$-decays with two neutrinos were observed for many years and a systematic law describing the relation between their half-lives and decay energies was also proposed recently [Phys. Rev. C89, 064603 (2014)]. However, double $β^+$-decay ($β^+β^+)$ with emission of both two positrons and two neutrinos has not been observed up to date. In this article, we perform a systematic analysis on the candidates of double $β^+$-decay, based on the 2012 nuclear mass table. Eight nuclei are found to be the good candidates for double $β^+$-decay and their half-lives are predicted according to the generalization of the systematic law to double $β^+$-decay. As far as we know, there is no theoretical result on double $β^+$-decay of nucleus $^{154}Dy$ and our result is the first prediction on this nucleus. This is also the first complete research on eight double $β^+$-decay candidates based on the available data of nuclear masses. It is expected that the calculated half-lives of double $β^+$-decay in this article will be useful for future experimental search of double $β^+$-decay.

An Algorithm to Parallelise Parton Showers on a GPU

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

description: The Single Instruction, Multiple Thread (SIMT) paradigm of GPU programming does not support the branching nature of a parton shower algorithm by definition. However, modern GPUs are designed to schedule threads with diverging processes independently, allowing them to handle such branches. With regular thread synchronisation and careful treatment of the individual steps, one can simulate a parton shower on a GPU. We present a Sudakov veto algorithm designed to simulate parton branching on multiple events in parallel. We also release a CUDA C++ program that generates matrix elements, showers partons and computes jet rates and event shapes for LEP at 91.2 GeV on a GPU. To benchmark its performance, we also provide a near-identical C++ program designed to simulate events serially on a CPU. While the consequences of branching are not absent, we demonstrate that a GPU can provide the throughput of a many-core CPU. As an example, we show that the time taken to shower 10^6 events on one NVIDIA TESLA V100 GPU is equivalent to that of 295 Intel Xeon E5-2620 CPU cores.

description: This paper introduces a novel Functional Graph Convolutional Network (funGCN) framework that combines Functional Data Analysis and Graph Convolutional Networks to address the complexities of multi-task and multi-modal learning in digital health and longitudinal studies. With the growing importance of health solutions to improve health care and social support, ensure healthy lives, and promote well-being at all ages, funGCN offers a unified approach to handle multivariate longitudinal data for multiple entities and ensures interpretability even with small sample sizes. Key innovations include task-specific embedding components that manage different data types, the ability to perform classification, regression, and forecasting, and the creation of a knowledge graph for insightful data interpretation. The efficacy of funGCN is validated through simulation experiments and a real-data application.

description: The SARS-CoV-2 health emergency has demonstrated the need for developing structured telemedicine systems to protect citizens from the spread of the virus. Thereby, their importance and the necessity to tailor their diffusion at large scale for providing services both at a distance and in time has been shown. For these reasons, the European Union advocates the digital transition of health systems for the next 5 years. The main aim of this work is to revisit the telemedicine research projects financed by European Community during the period 2000-2020 with particular respect to the results derived from their application. The analysis showed that some integration of tele-care and tele-health could be obtained with tele-monitoring systems and the implementation of Electronic Personal Record (EPR). Furthermore, telemedicine allows enhancing health care in critical environments, to protect health and life of the most vulnerable patients, and to encourage cross-border dialogue. The criteria of “from distance” and “timely delivered” are granted, but the effectiveness of the overall offered services highly depends on the availability and the quality of the input data. Unfortunately, this remains a relevant problem in the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

description: It is common for us to feel pressure in a competition environment, which arises from the desire to obtain success comparing with other individuals or opponents. Although we might get anxious under the pressure, it could also be a drive for us to stimulate our potentials to the best in order to keep up with others. Inspired by this, we propose a competitive learning framework which is able to help individual robot to acquire knowledge from the competition, fully stimulating its dynamics potential in the race. Specifically, the competition information among competitors is introduced as the additional auxiliary signal to learn advantaged actions. We further build a Multiagent-Race environment, and extensive experiments are conducted, demonstrating that robots trained in competitive environments outperform ones that are trained with SoTA algorithms in single robot environment.

description: We present dynamic density functional theory (DDFT) incorporating general inhomogeneous, incompressible, time dependent background flows and inertia, describing externally driven passive colloidal systems out of equilibrium. We start by considering the underlying nonequilibrium Langevin dynamics, including the effect of the local velocity of the surrounding liquid bath, to obtain the nonlinear, nonlocal partial differential equations governing the evolution of the (coarse--grained) density and velocity fields describing the dynamics of colloids. Additionally, we show both with heuristic arguments, and by numerical solution, that our equations and solutions agree with existing DDFTs in the overdamped (high friction) limit. We provide numerical solutions that model the flow of hard spheres, in both unbounded and confined domains, and compare to previously--derived DDFTs with and without the background flow.

description: The current standard model of cosmology, $Λ$CDM, requires dark matter to make up around $25\%$ of the total energy budget of the Universe. Yet, quite puzzlingly, there appears to be no candidate particle in the current Standard Model of particle physics. Assuming the validity of the cold dark matter (CDM) paradigm, dark matter has evaded detection thus far either because it is intrinsically a weakly interacting substance or because its interactions are suppressed by its high constituent mass and low number density. Most approaches to explain dark matter to date assume the former and therefore require beyond-the-Standard-Model particles that have yet to be observed directly or indirectly. Given the dearth of evidence for this class of candidates it is timely to consider the latter possibility, which allows for candidates that may or may not arise from the Standard Model. In this work we extend a recent study of this general class of so-called macro dark matter--candidates with characteristic masses of grams and geometric cross sections of cm$^2$. We consider new bounds that can be set using existing data from the resonant bar gravitational wave detectors NAUTILUS and EXPLORER.

description: We study collective modes of superfluid Bose gases in optical lattices combined with potential barriers. We assume that the system is in the vicinity of the quantum phase transition to a Mott insulator at a commensurate filling, where emergent particle-hole symmetry gives rise to two types of collective mode, namely a gapless Nambu-Goldstone (NG) phase mode and a gapful Higgs amplitude mode. We consider two kinds of potential barrier: One does not break the particle-hole symmetry while the other does. In the presence of the former barrier, we find Higgs bound states that have binding energies lower than the bulk Higgs gap and are localized around the barrier. We analyze tunneling properties of the NG mode incident to both barriers to show that the latter barrier couples the Higgs bound states with the NG mode, leading to Fano resonance mediated by the bound states. Thanks to the universality of the underlying field theory, it is expected that Higgs bound states may be present also in other condensed matter systems with a particle-hole symmetry and spontaneous breaking of a continuous symmetry, such as quantum dimer antiferromagnets, superconductors, and charge-density-wave materials.

description: Quasars have long been known to be variable sources at all wavelengths. Their optical variability is stochastic, can be due to a variety of physical mechanisms, and is well-described statistically in terms of a damped random walk model. The recent availability of large collections of astronomical time series of flux measurements (light curves) offers new data sets for a systematic exploration of quasar variability. Here we report on the detection of a strong, smooth periodic signal in the optical variability of the quasar PG 1302-102 with a mean observed period of 1,884 $\pm$ 88 days. It was identified in a search for periodic variability in a data set of light curves for 247,000 known, spectroscopically confirmed quasars with a temporal baseline of $\sim9$ years. While the interpretation of this phenomenon is still uncertain, the most plausible mechanisms involve a binary system of two supermassive black holes with a subparsec separation. Such systems are an expected consequence of galaxy mergers and can provide important constraints on models of galaxy formation and evolution.

description: Addressing the challenge of high annotation costs in solving Math Word Problems (MWPs) through full supervision with intermediate equations, recent works have proposed weakly supervised task settings that rely solely on the final answer as a supervised signal. Existing leading approaches typically employ various search techniques to infer intermediate equations, but cannot ensure their semantic consistency with natural language descriptions. The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT has opened up new possibilities for addressing MWPs directly. However, the computational demands of LLMs make them less than ideal for use in settings where resources are tight. In light of these challenges, we introduce an innovative two-stage framework that adeptly transfers mathematical Expertise from large to tiny language models. In \emph{Distillation Stage}, we propose a series of extraction processes that satisfy the properties of MWPs to distill mathematical knowledge from LLMs to construct problem-equation pairs required for supervised training. In \emph{Refinement Stage}, Due to Knowledge distilling method cannot guarantee the full utilization of all data, we further utilize the unsuccessfully searched data effectively by Knowledge Refine method. Finally, We train a small model using distilled data generated through two-stage methods. As our method fully leverages the semantic understanding capabilities during the searching 'problem-equation' pair, it demonstrates significantly improved performance on the Math23K and Weak12K datasets compared to existing small model methods, while maintaining a much lower computational cost than ChatGPT.

description: We analyze the prospects of the detection of a $\mathcal{O}(1)$ GeV neutralino dark matter, $\widetildeχ^0_{1}$, in the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model at the 14 TeV LHC. We perform dedicated scans of the relevant parameter space of the model and find a large number of points where the thermal relic abundance due to such a dark matter is consistent with the PLANCK measurement. We note that this dark matter is highly singlino-dominated and is always accompanied by a pseudoscalar, $A_1$, with a mass around twice its own, which is responsible for its resonant annihilation. For two benchmark points from our scan, we then carry out a detector-level signal-to-background analysis of the pair production of a heavier higgsino neutralino and a chargino. The higgsino thus produced decays into the dark matter and either the $Z$ boson or the $A_1$. For the $Z$-associated production of $\widetildeχ^0_{1}$, we investigate the scope of the trilepton search channel. For the $A_1$-associated production mode, in order to identify the two collimated muons coming from the decay of the $A_1$, we employ an unconventional method of clustering them together into one jet-like object. Using this method, for certain parameter space configurations, a much larger sensitivity can be obtained at the 14 TeV LHC for the $A_1\widetildeχ^0_{1}$ channel compared to the $Z\widetildeχ^0_{1}$ channel, with an integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$.

Remarks. The species had been known from India, Sri Lanka and Burma. Lundblad (1969) probably reported this species under the name of O. longisetus (Berlese, 1885) from Burma and India, but it seems unlikely to us that this Palaearctic species occurs in the Oriental region. The present record is new for the fauna of Thailand.

description: The opioid epidemic, referring to the growing hospitalizations and deaths because of overdose of opioid usage and addiction, has become a severe health problem in the United States. Many strategies have been developed by the federal and local governments and health communities to combat this crisis. Among them, improving our understanding of the epidemic through better health surveillance is one of the top priorities. In addition to direct testing, machine learning approaches may also allow us to detect opioid users by analyzing data from social media because many opioid users may choose not to do the tests but may share their experiences on social media anonymously. In this paper, we take advantage of recent advances in machine learning, collect and analyze user posts from a popular social network Reddit with the goal to identify opioid users. Posts from more than 1,000 users who have posted on three sub-reddits over a period of one month have been collected. In addition to the ones that contain keywords such as opioid, opiate, or heroin, we have also collected posts that contain slang words of opioid such as black or chocolate. We apply an attention-based bidirectional long short memory model to identify opioid users. Experimental results show that the approaches significantly outperform competitive algorithms in terms of F1-score. Furthermore, the model allows us to extract most informative words, such as opiate, opioid, and black, from posts via the attention layer, which provides more insights on how the machine learning algorithm works in distinguishing drug users from non-drug users.
Gravitational waves from domain walls in the next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model

description: The next-to-minimal supersymmetric standard model predicts the formation of domain walls due to the spontaneous breaking of the discrete $Z_3$-symmetry at the electroweak phase transition, and they collapse before the epoch of big bang nucleosynthesis if there exists a small bias term in the potential which explicitly breaks the discrete symmetry. Signatures of gravitational waves produced from these unstable domain walls are estimated and their parameter dependence is investigated. It is shown that the amplitude of gravitational waves becomes generically large in the decoupling limit, and that their frequency is low enough to be probed in future pulsar timing observations.

description: We apply the statefinder hierarchy plus the fractional growth parameter to explore the extended Ricci dark energy (ERDE) model, in which there are two independent coefficients $α$ and $β$. By adjusting them, we plot evolution trajectories of some typical parameters, including Hubble expansion rate $E$, deceleration parameter $q$, the third and fourth order hierarchy $S_3^{(1)}$ and $S_4^{(1)}$ and fractional growth parameter $ε$, respectively, as well as several combinations of them. For the case of variable $α$ and constant $β$, in the low-redshift region the evolution trajectories of $E$ are in high degeneracy and that of $q$ separate somewhat. However, the $Λ$CDM model is confounded with ERDE in both of these two cases. $S_3^{(1)}$ and $S_4^{(1)}$, especially the former, perform much better. They can differentiate well only varieties of cases within ERDE except $Λ$CDM in the low-redshift region. For high-redshift region, combinations $\{S_n^{(1)},ε\}$ can break the degeneracy. Both of $\{S_3^{(1)},ε\}$ and $\{S_4^{(1)},ε\}$ have the ability to discriminate ERDE with $α=1$ from $Λ$CDM, of which the degeneracy cannot be broken by all the before-mentioned parameters. For the case of variable $β$ and constant $α$, $S_3^{(1)}(z)$ and $S_4^{(1)}(z)$ can only discriminate ERDE from $Λ$CDM. Nothing but pairs $\{S_3^{(1)},ε\}$ and $\{S_4^{(1)},ε\}$ can discriminate not only within ERDE but also ERDE from $Λ$CDM. Finally we find that $S_3^{(1)}$ is surprisingly a better choice to discriminate within ERDE itself, and ERDE from $Λ$CDM as well, rather than $S_4^{(1)}$.

title:  Kierkegaard-Bloch. Razionalità esistenziale e razionalità pratica
Creators: name: Scaloni  ,  Vincenzo
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2019

description: L’influsso di Søren Kierkegaard sulla filosofia di Ernst Bloch è stato oggetto di scarsa analisi critica, ma le opere giovanili di Bloch, in particolare Spirito dell’utopia, sono piene di positivi riferimenti a Kierkegaard come critico del sistema hegeliano. Ciò che Bloch apprezzava di Kierkegaard era il fatto di essere il pensatore della soggettività e dell’esistenza, che aveva dato grande importanza all’interiorità contro l’astratta oggettività hegeliana. Tuttavia, negli anni ‘30 Bloch divenne via via più critico verso il pensiero di Kierkegaard, a causa della sua svolta marxista-materialista. I suoi manoscritti inediti, ora raccolti in Logos der Materie, testimoniano molto bene questa svolta e l'influsso di Adorno (tramite la sua famosa opera Kierkegaard: la costruzione dell'estetico) sul cambiamento nell'opinione di Bloch. Nel tentativo di basare la sua utopia concreta su fondamenta solide, Bloch elaborò una ontologia del Non-ancora essere, che aveva il suo perno fondamentale nella categoria di possibilità oggettiva. In questo quadro teoretico emerge molto chiaramente la distanza tra la razionalità esistenziale di Kierkegaard e la razionalità pratica di Bloch.

description: Mathematics provides us with tools to capture and explain phenomena in everyday biology, even at the nanoscale. The most regularly applied technique to biology is differential equations. In this article, we seek to present how differential equation models of biological phenomena, particularly the flow through ion channels, can be used to motivate and teach differential equations. Ion channels on the cell membrane allow the passage of ions from one side of the membrane to the other. The movement of these ions drives crucial processes such as the beating of our hearts. Using a system of two ordinary differential equations it is possible to capture the movement across ion channels that are opening and closing. Then using standard undergraduate techniques, we can predict how these channels behave in the long-term. In this work, we discuss how this example can be used to create tangible links to mathematical equations and motivate the teaching of techniques such as differentiation, integration, algebraic manipulation and equilibrium analysis. Furthermore, we show how a simple reformulation of this model into a stochastic setting using Gillespie's Stochastic Simulation Algorithm can allow us to capture the noise in ion channel flow.

description: Modern scientific applications are increasingly decomposable into individual functions that may be deployed across distributed and diverse cyberinfrastructure such as supercomputers, clouds, and accelerators. Such applications call for new approaches to programming, distributed execution, and function-level management. We present UniFaaS, a parallel programming framework that relies on a federated function-as-a-service (FaaS) model to enable composition of distributed, scalable, and high-performance scientific workflows, and to support fine-grained function-level management. UniFaaS provides a unified programming interface to compose dynamic task graphs with transparent wide-area data management. UniFaaS exploits an observe-predict-decide approach to efficiently map workflow tasks to target heterogeneous and dynamic resources. We propose a dynamic heterogeneity-aware scheduling algorithm that employs a delay mechanism and a re-scheduling mechanism to accommodate dynamic resource capacity. Our experiments show that UniFaaS can efficiently execute workflows across computing resources with minimal scheduling overhead. We show that UniFaaS can improve the performance of a real-world drug screening workflow by as much as 22.99% when employing an additional 19.48% of resources and a montage workflow by 54.41% when employing an additional 47.83% of resources across multiple distributed clusters, in contrast to using a single cluster

Consistency of equations of motion in conformal frames

description: Four dimensional scalar-tensor theory is considered within two conformal frames, the Jordan frame (JF) and the Einstein frame (EF). The actions for the theory are equivalent and equations of motion can be obtained from each action. It is found that the JF equations of motion, expressed in terms of EF variables, translate directly into and agree with the EF equations of motion obtained from the EF action, provided that certain simple consistency conditions are satisfied, which is always the case. The implication is that a solution set obtained in one conformal frame can be reliably translated into a solution set for the other frame, and therefore the two frames are, at least, mathematically equivalent.

Mortality of the elderly population during the COVID-19 pandemic. Are there north-south differences?

description: COVID-19 disease courses are dynamic and in some cases, fatal. In this article, we aim to identify the periods where overall mortality is higher, and therefore to more precisely measure excess mortality. We analysed mortality rate development for the population aged 65 years and older in Germany as a whole, a south Germany region (comprising the federal states of Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria) and a north Germany region (comprising the federal states of Schleswig Holstein, Mecklenburg Western-Pomerania and Brandenburg). The article analyses the mortality rates per calendar week that have been published by Germany’s Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) for the first 23 calendar weeks of 2020. We compare these figures with those for the same period 2016, the last year in which there was no influenza-related excess mortality. In calendar weeks ten to 15, mortality rates for the elder population rose exceptionally in the south compared to the north Germany region as well as compared to the 2016 figures. A peak was reached in calendar weeks 14 and 15. Mortality rates peaked around two to three weeks after incidence. Since this peak, mortality rates have decreased again, but up to calendar week 18 have remained above the 2016 rates. Overall the rise in mortality rates observed appears to be related to the COVID-19 pandemic and not the annual influenza wave.
New RR Lyrae variables in binary systems

description: Despite their importance, very few RR Lyrae (RRL) stars have been known to reside in binary systems. We report on a search for binary RRL in the OGLE-III Galactic bulge data. Our approach consists in the search for evidence of the light-travel time effect in so-called observed minus calculated ($O-C$) diagrams. Analysis of 1952 well-observed fundamental-mode RRL in the OGLE-III data revealed an initial sample of 29 candidates. We used the recently released OGLE-IV data to extend the baselines up to 17 years, leading to a final sample of 12 firm binary candidates. We provide $O-C$ diagrams and binary parameters for this final sample, and also discuss the properties of 8 additional candidate binaries whose parameters cannot be firmly determined at present. We also estimate that $\gtrsim 4$ per cent of the RRL reside in binary systems.

Predicting Excitation Energies in Warm Dense Matter

description: In a dense plasma environment, the energy levels of an ion shift relative to the isolated ion values. This shift is reflected in the optical spectrum of the plasma and can be measured in, for example, emission experiments. In this work, we use a recently developed method of modeling electronic states in warm dense matter to predict these level energies. In this model, excited state energies are calculated directly by enforcing constrained one-electron occupation factors, thus allowing the calculation of specific transition and ionization energies. This model includes plasma effects self-consistently, so the effect of continuum lowering is included in an ab-initio sense. We use the model to calculate the K-edge and K-alpha energies of solid density magnesium, aluminum, and silicon over a range of temperatures, finding close agreement with experimental results. We also calculate the ionization potential depression (IPD) to compare to widely used models, and investigate the effects of temperature on the lowering of the continuum.
