description: Regular episturmian words are episturmian words whose directive words have a regular and restricted form making them behave more like Sturmian words than general episturmian words. We present a method to evaluate the initial nonrepetitive complexity of regular episturmian words extending the work of Wojcik on Sturmian words. For this, we develop a theory of generalized Ostrowski numeration systems and show how to associate with each episturmian word a unique sequence of numbers written in this numeration system.
 The description of the initial nonrepetitive complexity allows us to obtain novel results on the Diophantine exponents of regular episturmian words. We prove that the Diophantine exponent of a regular episturmian word is finite if and only if its directive word has bounded partial quotients. Moreover, we prove that the Diophantine exponent of a regular episturmian word is strictly greater than $2$ if the sequence of partial quotients is eventually at least $3$.
 Given an infinite word $x$ over an integer alphabet, we may consider a real number $ξ_x$ having $x$ as a fractional part. The Diophantine exponent of $x$ is a lower bound for the irrationality exponent of $ξ_x$. Our results thus yield nontrivial lower bounds for the irrationality exponents of real numbers whose fractional parts are regular episturmian words. As a consequence, we identify a new uncountable class of transcendental numbers whose irrationality exponents are strictly greater than $2$. This class contains an uncountable subclass of Liouville numbers.

description: The MultiplicitySequence package for Macaulay2 computes the multiplicity sequence of a graded ideal in a standard graded ring over a field, as well as several invariants of monomial ideals related to integral dependence. We discuss two strategies implemented for computing multiplicity sequences: one via the bivariate Hilbert polynomial, and the other via the technique of general elements.

description: Following the Hu-Kriz method of computing the $C_2$ genuine dual Steenrod algebra $(H\mathbf F_2)_{\bigstar}(H\mathbf F_2)$, we calculate the $C_4$ equivariant Bredon cohomology of the classifying space $\mathbf R P^{\infty ρ}=B_{C_4}Σ_{2}$ as an $RO(C_4)$ graded Green-functor. We prove that as a module over the homology of a point (which we also compute), this cohomology is not flat. As a result, it can't be used as a test module for obtaining generators in $(H\mathbf F_2)_{\bigstar}(H\mathbf F_2)$ as Hu-Kriz do in the $C_2$ case.

description: The metal-insulator transition (MIT), which includes Anderson localization and Mott insulators as extreme regimes, has received renewed interest as the many-body effects often constitute a limitation for the handling of quantum interference. This resulted in the field dubbed many-body localization (MBL), intensively studied theoretically and experimentally as understanding the appearance of equilibration and thermalization becomes relevant in dealing with finite systems. Here, we propose a new observable to study this transition in a spin chain under the ``disorder'' of a Harper-Hofstadter-Aubry-André on-site potential. This quantity, which we call zeroth-order gradient entanglement (ZOGE) is extracted from the fundamental Fourier mode of a family of out-of-time-ordered correlators (OTOCs). These are just Loschmidt Echoes, where a field gradient is applied before the time reversal. In the absence of many-body interactions, the ZOGE coincides with the inverse participation ratio of a Fermionic wave function. By adding an Ising interaction to an XY Hamiltonian, one can explore the MBL phase diagram of the system. Close to the critical region, the excitation dynamics is consistent with a diffusion law. However, for weak disorder, quantum diffusion prevails while for strong disorder the excitation dynamics is sub-diffusive.

The Main Characteristics of the Model of Innovation in Australian Businesses and Their Rationale

description: The role of open innovation in small firms is receiving more attention as its inherent benefits become clear. This paper investigates the relationships between open innovation, formal networks, innovation breadth and performance. It argues that the early formation of formal networks will enhance the benefits that a small firm will get from involvement in open innovation. These relationships are investigated in a longitudinal study of 1580 Australian small firms. Findings suggest that the adoption of inward open innovation has benefits for both improving the innovation breadth as well as the performance of small firms. Small firms mitigate their size handicap by establishing formal networks, and in the process enhance innovation and its effect on firm performance.

description: La data 30 Gennaio del 9 a.C. è generalmente considerata come quella del giorno della dedica dell'Ara Pacis a Roma da parte di Augusto. Ma che data è il 30 Gennaio 9 a.C.? Così posta, la domanda sembra banale, quasi assurda. Invece non è così. Per rispondere dobbiamo fare un esercizio di cronologia. Con questo esercizio possiamo vedere che la data 30 Gennaio 9 a.C. del calendario giuliano prolettico è diversa dalla data del calendario giuliano storico. E viceversa, la data del 30 Gennaio del calendario storico è diversa da quella del calendario prolettico. La differenza, apparentemente senza importanza, diventa fondamentale per qualsiasi analisi astronomica collegata all'Ara.

description: We present HybVIO, a novel hybrid approach for combining filtering-based visual-inertial odometry (VIO) with optimization-based SLAM. The core of our method is highly robust, independent VIO with improved IMU bias modeling, outlier rejection, stationarity detection, and feature track selection, which is adjustable to run on embedded hardware. Long-term consistency is achieved with a loosely-coupled SLAM module. In academic benchmarks, our solution yields excellent performance in all categories, especially in the real-time use case, where we outperform the current state-of-the-art. We also demonstrate the feasibility of VIO for vehicular tracking on consumer-grade hardware using a custom dataset, and show good performance in comparison to current commercial VISLAM alternatives. An open-source implementation of the HybVIO method is available at https://github.com/SpectacularAI/HybVIO

We prove that the set of non-trivial approximate eigenvalues $(λ^+,λ^-)$ of the weighted adjacency operators $A_w^\pm$ on the quotient induced from the colored adjacency operators $A^\pm$ on the building for $PGL_3$ contains the simultaneous spectrum of $A^\pm$ and another hypocycloid with three cusps. As a byproduct, we re-establish a proof of the fact that $PGL(3,\mathbb{F}_q[t])\backslash PGL(3,\mathbb{F}_q(\!(t^{-1})\!))/PGL(3,\mathbb{F}_q[\![t^{-1}]\!])$ is not a Ramanujan complex, from a combinatorial aspect.

description: We develop an equivariant version of Seiberg-Witten-Floer cohomology for finite group actions on rational homology $3$-spheres. Our construction is based on an equivariant version of the Seiberg-Witten-Floer stable homotopy type, as constructed by Manolescu. We use these equivariant cohomology groups to define a series of $d$-invariants $d_{G,c}(Y,\mathfrak{s})$ which are indexed by the group cohomology of $G$. These invariants satisfy a Froyshov-type inequality under equivariant cobordisms. Lastly we consider a variety of applications of these $d$-invariants: concordance invariants of knots via branched covers, obstructions to extending group actions over bounding $4$-manifolds, Nielsen realisation problems for $4$-manifolds with boundary and obstructions to equivariant embeddings of $3$-manifolds in $4$-manifolds.

Dominance reversals: The resolution of genetic conflict and maintenance of genetic variation

description: Beneficial reversals of dominance reduce the costs of genetic trade-offs and can enable selection to maintain genetic variation for fitness. Beneficial dominance reversals are characterized by the beneficial allele for a given context (e.g. habitat, developmental stage, trait, or sex) being dominant in that context but recessive where deleterious. This context-dependence at least partially mitigates the fitness consequence of heterozygotes carrying one non-beneficial allele for their context and can result in balancing selection that maintains alternative alleles. Dominance reversals are theoretically plausible and are supported by mounting empirical evidence. Here we highlight the importance of beneficial dominance reversals as a mechanism for the mitigation of genetic conflict and review the theory and empirical evidence for them. We identify some areas in need of further research and development and outline three methods (dominance ordination, allele-specific expression, and allele-specific ATAC-Seq) that could facilitate the identification of antagonistic genetic variation. There is ample scope for the development of new empirical methods as well as reanalysis of existing data through the lens of dominance reversals. A greater focus on this topic will expand our understanding of the mechanisms that resolve genetic conflict and whether they maintain genetic variation.

In this paper, we construct a spectral sequence with the second page isomorphic to the annular Khovanov homology of $L$ and it converges to the reduced Khovanov homology of $\widetilde{L}$. As an application, we classify all the links with the minimal rank of annular Khovanov homology. We also give a proof that annular Khovanov homology detects unlinks.

Structure–function discrepancy in Clostridium botulinum C3 toxin for its rational prioritization as a subunit vaccine

description: Clostridium botulinum is anaerobic pathogenic bacterium causing food-born botulism in human and animals by producing botulinum neurotoxins A-H, C2, and C3 cytotoxins. Physiological group III strains (type C and D) of this bacterium are capable of producing C2 and C3 toxins in cattle and avian. Herein, we have revealed the structure–function disparity of C3 toxins from two different C. botulinum type C phage (CboC) and type D phage (CboD) to design avirulent toxins rationally. Structure–function discrepancy of the both toxins was computationally evaluated from their homology models based on the conservation in sequence–structure–function relationships upon covariation and point mutations. It has shown that 8 avirulent mutants were generated from CboC of 34 mutants while 27 avirulent mutants resulted from CboD mutants. No major changes were found in tertiary structure of these toxins; however, some structural variations appeared in the coiled and loop regions. Correlated mutation on the first residue would disorder or revolutionize the hydrogen bonding pattern of the coevolved pairs. It suggested that the residues coupling in the local structural environments were compensated with coevolved pairs so as to preserve a pseudocatalytic function in the avirulent mutants. Avirulent mutants of C3 toxins have shown a stable structure with a common blue print of folding process and also attained a near-native backrub ensemble. Thus, we concluded that selecting the site-directed mutagenesis sites are very important criteria for designing avirulent toxins, in development of rational subunit vaccines, to cattle and avian, but the vaccine specificity can be determined by the C3 toxins of C. botulinum harboring phages.

description: Based on the optical Raman lattice technique, we experimentally realize the Qi-Wu-Zhang model for quantum anomalous Hall phase in ultracold fermions with two-dimensional (2D) spin-orbit (SO) coupling. We develop a novel protocol of pump-probe quench measurement to probe, with minimal heating, the resonant spin flipping on particular quasi-momentum subspace called band-inversion surfaces. With this protocol we demonstrate the first Dirac-type 2D SO coupling in a fermionic system, and detect non-trivial band topology by observing the change of band-inversion surfaces as the two-photon detuning varies. The non-trivial band topology is also observed by slowly loading the atoms into optical Raman lattices and measuring the spin textures. Our results show solid evidence for the realization of the minimal SO-coupled quantum anomalous Hall model, which can provide a feasible platform to investigate novel topological physics including the correlation effects with SO-coupled ultracold fermions.

description: New fashion product sales forecasting is a challenging problem that involves many business dynamics and cannot be solved by classical forecasting approaches. In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of systematically probing exogenous knowledge in the form of Google Trends time series and combining it with multi-modal information related to a brand-new fashion item, in order to effectively forecast its sales despite the lack of past data. In particular, we propose a neural network-based approach, where an encoder learns a representation of the exogenous time series, while the decoder forecasts the sales based on the Google Trends encoding and the available visual and metadata information. Our model works in a non-autoregressive manner, avoiding the compounding effect of large first-step errors. As a second contribution, we present VISUELLE, a publicly available dataset for the task of new fashion product sales forecasting, containing multimodal information for 5577 real, new products sold between 2016-2019 from Nunalie, an Italian fast-fashion company. The dataset is equipped with images of products, metadata, related sales, and associated Google Trends. We use VISUELLE to compare our approach against state-of-the-art alternatives and several baselines, showing that our neural network-based approach is the most accurate in terms of both percentage and absolute error. It is worth noting that the addition of exogenous knowledge boosts the forecasting accuracy by 1.5% in terms of Weighted Absolute Percentage Error (WAPE), revealing the importance of exploiting informative external information. The code and dataset are both available at https://github.com/HumaticsLAB/GTM-Transformer.

description: Background: Tears of the Ligamentum Teres are a common cause of groin pain. Tears of the ligament frequently co-exist alongside other bony or labral intra-articular hip lesions, which are also treated at the time of arthroscopy. For this reason, it is often difficult to assess the effect that debridement alone has on improving patient pain and function. This study aims to assess the short-term outcomes of arthroscopic debridement of isolated Ligamentum Teres tears using a validated patient-reported outcome score - the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-33). Methods: A retrospective review was performed of 35 patients (37 hips) who had an isolated Ligamentum Teres tear treated with arthroscopic radiofrequency debridement between September 2012 and September 2015. Patients with concomitant intra-articular hip pathology (femoroacetabular impingement, labral lesions, hip dysplasia) were excluded from the study. All patients completed the iHOT-33 questionnaire pre-operatively and post-operatively. The mean age was 37.7 years (range 16-67 years) and patients were followed up for a mean period of 17.7 months (range 6-42 months). Thirty-one patients were female and 4 were male. Results: Thirty-seven isolated partial tears were managed with arthroscopic radiofrequency debridement. At follow up, the mean iHOT-33 score improved from 26.9 pre-operatively to 48.0 post-operatively, representing a mean improvement of 21.1 (p < 0.001). The minimum clinically important difference of the iHOT-33 is 6.1 points. Significant improvements were noted in all four sub-sections of the iHOT-33. Conclusion: Arthroscopic radiofrequency debridement of isolated Ligamentum Teres tears provides short-term benefit in the majority of patients, including significant improvement in sporting function.

description: Clostridium botulinum is anaerobic pathogenic bacterium causing food-born botulism in human and animals by producing botulinum neurotoxins A-H, C2 and C3 cytotoxins. Physiological group III strains (type C and D) of this bacterium are capable of producing C2 and C3 toxins in cattle and avian. Herein, we have revealed the structure-function disparity of C3 toxins from two different C. botulinum type C phage (CboC) and type D phage (CboD) to design avirulent toxins rationally. Structure-function discrepancy of the both toxins was computationally evaluated from their homology models based on the conservation in sequence-structure-function relationships upon covariation and point mutations. It has shown that 8 avirulent mutants were generated from CboC out of 34 mutants while 27 avirulent mutants resulted from CboD mutants. No major changes were found in tertiary structure of these toxins; however, some structural variations appeared in the coiled and loop regions. Correlated mutation on the first residue would disorder or revolutionize the hydrogen bonding pattern of the coevolved pairs. It suggested that the residues coupling in the local structural environments were compensated with coevolved pairs so as to preserve a pseudocatalytic function in the avirulent mutants. Avirulent mutants of C3 toxins have shown a stable structure with a common blue print of folding process and also attained a near-native backrub ensemble. Thus, we concluded that selecting the site directed mutagenesis sites are very important criteria for designing avirulent toxins, in development of rational subunit vaccines, to cattle and avian, but the vaccine specificity can be determined by the C3 toxins of C. botulinum harboring phages.

description: A metric thickening of a given metric space $X$ is any metric space admitting an isometric embedding of $X$. Thickenings have found use in applications of topology to data analysis, where one may approximate the shape of a dataset via the persistent homology of an increasing sequence of spaces. We introduce two new families of metric thickenings, the $p$-Vietoris-Rips and $p$-Čech metric thickenings for all $1\le p\le \infty$, which include all measures on $X$ whose $p$-diameter or $p$-radius is bounded from above, equipped with an optimal transport metric. The $p$-diameter (resp. $p$-radius) of a measure is a certain $\ell_p$ relaxation of the usual notion of diameter (resp. radius) of a subset of a metric space. These families recover the previously studied Vietoris-Rips and Čech metric thickenings when $p=\infty$. As our main contribution, we prove a stability theorem for the persistent homology of $p$-Vietoris-Rips and $p$-Čech metric thickenings, which is novel even in the case $p=\infty$. In the specific case $p=2$, we prove a Hausmann-type theorem for thickenings of manifolds, and we derive the complete list of homotopy types of the $2$-Vietoris-Rips thickenings of the $n$-sphere as the scale increases.

description: A major hurdle in understanding the phase diagram of twisted bilayer graphene (TBLG) are the roles of lattice relaxation and electronic structure on isolated band flattening near magic twist angles. In this work, the authors develop an accurate local environment tight binding model (LETB) fit to tight binding parameters computed from $ab\ initio$ density functional theory (DFT) calculations across many atomic configurations. With the accurate parameterization, it is found that the magic angle shifts to slightly lower angles than often quoted, from around 1.05$^\circ$ to around 0.99$^\circ$, and that isolated flat bands appear for rigidly rotated graphene layers, with enhancement of the flat bands when the layers are allowed to distort. Study of the orbital localization supports the emergence of fragile topology in the isolated flat bands without the need for lattice relaxation.

description: In multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL), independent learners are those that do not observe the actions of other agents in the system. Due to the decentralization of information, it is challenging to design independent learners that drive play to equilibrium. This paper investigates the feasibility of using satisficing dynamics to guide independent learners to approximate equilibrium in stochastic games. For $ε\geq 0$, an $ε$-satisficing policy update rule is any rule that instructs the agent to not change its policy when it is $ε$-best-responding to the policies of the remaining players; $ε$-satisficing paths are defined to be sequences of joint policies obtained when each agent uses some $ε$-satisficing policy update rule to select its next policy. We establish structural results on the existence of $ε$-satisficing paths into $ε$-equilibrium in both symmetric $N$-player games and general stochastic games with two players. We then present an independent learning algorithm for $N$-player symmetric games and give high probability guarantees of convergence to $ε$-equilibrium under self-play. This guarantee is made using symmetry alone, leveraging the previously unexploited structure of $ε$-satisficing paths.

description: The genus Philaenus is one of the best investigated among Auchenorrhyncha, and several morphological, ecological, karyological, and molecular data have led to a designation of up to 10 species, distributed mainly in the Mediterranean and south-western Asia. The only widespread Palaearctic species, P. spumarius, is known to be structured phylogeographically as it consists of two highly divergent mitochondrial clades (northeast, NE and southwest, SW), with several subclades. This study contributes to the species phylogeography through the study of the genetic diversity and affinity of P. spumarius populations from southwestern Asia. Mitochondrial DNA (cytochrome B) show a high level of genetic diversity within Turkish and Iranian populations, the majority of which belong to the SW clade, and only single populations from northeastern Turkey are found to be substantially highly divergent lineages within the NE clade. One of the NE populations also showed significant differences in the distribution and amount of heterochromatin compared to other populations. According to the results of this study and previous phylogenetic and phylogeographic works on this species, we conclude that Southwestern Asia is probably the place of origin of the Philaenus spumarius.

description: We present a mathematical framework and computational methods to optimally design a finite number of sequential experiments. We formulate this sequential optimal experimental design (sOED) problem as a finite-horizon partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) in a Bayesian setting and with information-theoretic utilities. It is built to accommodate continuous random variables, general non-Gaussian posteriors, and expensive nonlinear forward models. sOED then seeks an optimal design policy that incorporates elements of both feedback and lookahead, generalizing the suboptimal batch and greedy designs. We solve for the sOED policy numerically via policy gradient (PG) methods from reinforcement learning, and derive and prove the PG expression for sOED. Adopting an actor-critic approach, we parameterize the policy and value functions using deep neural networks and improve them using gradient estimates produced from simulated episodes of designs and observations. The overall PG-sOED method is validated on a linear-Gaussian benchmark, and its advantages over batch and greedy designs are demonstrated through a contaminant source inversion problem in a convection-diffusion field.
