A theory of 2+1D bosonic topological orders
Creators: name: Wen, Xiao-Gang

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: In primary school, we were told that there are four phases of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In college, we learned that there are much more than four phases of matter, such as hundreds of crystal phases, liquid crystal phases, ferromagnet, anti-ferromagnet, superfluid, etc. Those phases of matter are so rich, it is amazing that they can be understood systematically by the symmetry breaking theory of Landau. However, there are even more interesting phases of matter that are beyond Landau symmetry breaking theory. In this paper, we review new "topological" phenomena, such as topological degeneracy, that reveal the existence of those new zero-temperature phases -- topologically ordered phases. Microscopically, topologically orders are originated from the patterns of long-range entanglement in the ground states. As a truly new type of order and a truly new kind of phenomena, topological order and long-range entanglement require a new language and a new mathematical framework, such as unitary fusion category and modular tensor category to describe them. In this paper, we will describe a simple mathematical framework based on measurable quantities of topological orders $(S,T,c)$ proposed around 1989. The framework allows us to systematically describe/classify 2+1D topological orders (ie topological orders in local bosonic/spin/qubit systems)..

Year: 1991

description: A new species of the genus Crambe Vosmaer is described from the Alboran sea. The features of this new sponge support the artificial grouping of the Lithistida. A new systernatic position is proposed for Crambe Vosmaer into the new family Crambidae and some relationships with fossil genera traditionally regarded as lithistids are indicated. The anaxial nature of the sphaeroclonar desmas is discussed, claiming for a polyaxial origin of the sphaeroclones of the genus Crambe.

description: National liver transplantation (LT) volume has declined since 2006, in part because of worsening donor organ quality. Trends that degrade organ quality are expected to continue over the next 2 decades. We used the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) database to inform a 20-year discrete event simulation estimating LT volume from 2010 to 2030. Data to inform the model were obtained from deceased organ donors between 2000 and 2009. If donor liver utilization practices remain constant, utilization will fall from 78% to 44% by 2030, resulting in 2230 fewer LTs. If transplant centers increase their risk tolerance for marginal grafts, utilization would decrease to 48%. The institution of "opt-out" organ donation policies to increase the donor pool would still result in 1380 to 1866 fewer transplants. Ex vivo perfusion techniques that increase the use of marginal donor livers may stabilize LT volume. Otherwise, the number of LTs in the United States will decrease substantially over the next 15 years. In conclusion, the transplant community will need to accept inferior grafts and potentially worse posttransplant outcomes and/or develop new strategies for increasing organ donation and utilization in order to maintain the number of LTs at the current level.

description: In brackish lagoon of Mauguio, on french mediterranean coast, 8486 Gobius niger were caught with a fixed fishing net. Growth is rapid : one year old fishes, caught in may, mesure 64 to 72 mm total lenght. At that time, they are sexualy mature. As early as this age to death, males are longer than females and live more time: they reach a maximum age of four years for 135 mm length, only three years and 122 mm for females. In spite of high reproductive effort, particularly for females, growth is important for 1+ individuals between march-april to september-october, and lower during winter and for older animals. Population sex ratio is not equilibrated (S.R. = 1.39) and this phenomenon accentuates with age. Particularly, mortality is important for two years old females along the breeding season. Previously, no differential mortality has been noted. Number of reproductives acts during a spawning season is very numerous and is estimed as much 8-13 broodcares per males and 12-18 spawns per females.

description: Quantum mechanics and the theory of gravity are presently not compatible. A particular question is whether gravity causes decoherence - an unavoidable source of noise. Several models for gravitational decoherence have been proposed, not all of which can be described quantum mechanically. In parallel, several experiments have been proposed to test some of these models, where the data obtained by such experiments is analyzed assuming quantum mechanics. Since we may need to modify quantum mechanics to account for gravity, however, one may question the validity of using quantum mechanics as a calculational tool to draw conclusions from experiments concerning gravity. Here we propose an experiment to estimate gravitational decoherence whose conclusions hold even if quantum mechanics would need to be modified. We first establish a general information-theoretic notion of decoherence which reduces to the standard measure within quantum mechanics. Second, drawing on ideas from quantum information, we propose a very general experiment that allows us to obtain a quantitative estimate of decoherence of any physical process for any physical theory satisfying only very mild conditions.Finally, we propose a concrete experiment using optomechanics to estimate gravitational decoherence in any such theory, including quantum mechanics as a special case. Our work raises the interesting question whether other properties of nature could similarly be established from experimental observations alone - that is, without already having a rather well formed theory of nature like quantum mechanics to make sense of experimental data.

description: Characteristic patterns of cosmic neutrino spectrum reported by the IceCube collaboration and long-standing inconsistency between theory and experiment in muon anomalous magnetic moment are simultaneously explained by an extra leptonic force mediated by a gauge field with a mass of the MeV scale. With different assumptions for redshift distribution of cosmic neutrino sources, diffuse neutrino flux is calculated with the scattering between cosmic neutrino and cosmic neutrino background through the new leptonic force. Our analysis sheds light on a relation among lepton physics at the three different scales, PeV, MeV, and eV, and provides possible clues to the distribution of sources of cosmic neutrino and also to neutrino mass spectrum.

Η δεύτερη κατηγορία ιατρικών σφαλμάτων έχει προβληματίσει ιδιαίτερα τη θεωρία και τη νομολογία. Η τάση πάντως που επικρατεί στην ελληνική έννομη τάξη, είναι η αποδοχή των αποζημιωτικών αξιώσεων των γονέων (wrongful birth) με βάση τις διατάξεις περί παράνομης προσβολής της προσωπικότητας και η απόρριψη των αποζημιωτικών αξιώσεων του τέκνου (wrongful life).
description: The Hellenic Justice System is increasingly dealing with medical negligence cases, a great deal of which concern the obstetricians – gynecologists’ medical errors that either result in the health damage or death of the fetus, or present as failure to diagnose a certain preexisting genetic disease or abnormality of the fetus, resulting in the fetus being born with such condition. The latter category of medical malpractice has been debated a lot. However, the Greek Courts usually accept wrongful birth claims based on the provisions of unlawful insult to the personality and reject wrongful life claims.

description: At upcoming medium baseline reactor neutrino experiments the spallation 9Li background will be somewhat larger than the inverse beta decay reactor neutrino signal. We use new FLUKA simulations of spallation backgrounds to optimize a class of veto strategies and find that surprisingly the optimal veto for the mass hierarchy determination has a rejection efficiency below 90%. The unrejected background has only a modest effect on the physics goals. For example $Δχ^2$ for the hierarchy determination falls by 1.4 to 3 points depending on the muon tracking ability. The optimal veto strategy is essentially insensitive to the tracking ability, consisting of 2 meter radius, 1.1 second cylindrical vetoes of well tracked muons with showering energies above 3 to 4 GeV and 0.7 second full detector vetoes for poorly tracked muons above 15 to 18 GeV. On the other hand, as the uncertainty in theta12 will be dominated by the uncertainty in the reactor neutrino spectrum and not statistical fluctuations, the optimal rejection efficiency for the measurement of theta12 is 93% in the case of perfect tracking.

description: Identifying the physical basis of heterosis (or hybrid vigor) has remained elusive despite over a hundred years of research on the subject. The three main theories of heterosis are dominance theory, overdominance theory, and epistasis theory. Kacser and Burns (1981) identified the molecular basis of dominance, which has greatly enhanced our understanding of its importance to heterosis. This paper aims to explain how overdominance, and some features of epistasis, can similarly emerge from the molecular dynamics of proteins. Possessing multiple alleles at a gene locus results in the synthesis of different allozymes at reduced concentrations. This in turn reduces the rate at which each allozyme forms soluble oligomers, which are toxic and must be degraded, because allozymes co-aggregate at low efficiencies. The model developed in this paper will be used to explain how heterozygosity can impact the metabolic efficiency of an organism. It can also explain why the viabilities of some inbred lines seem to decline rapidly at high inbreeding coefficients (F > 0.5), which may provide a physical basis for truncation selection for heterozygosity. Finally, the model has implications for the ploidy level of organisms. It can explain why polyploids are frequently found in environments where severe physical stresses promote the formation of soluble oligomers. The model can also explain why complex organisms, which need to synthesize aggregation-prone proteins that contain intrinsically unstructured regions (IURs) and multiple domains because they facilitate complex protein interaction networks (PINs), tend to be diploid while haploidy tends to be restricted to relatively simple organisms.

description: A new amphipod species of the genus Haliragoides, H. niflheimri sp. nov. and a new species from the genus
 Neohela, N. lamia sp. nov. are described. Haliragoides niflheimri sp. nov. has been found in deep water (1061-1221 m),
 North of Svalbard (near 80°50'N). It can be easily separated from the sympatric species H. abyssi Gurjanova, 1951 and H.
 inermis (G.O. Sars, 1883) by the anteroventral lobes of the head. In H. niflheimri sp. nov. and H. inermis these lobes are
 much longer and more ventrally directed than in H. abyssi. In H. niflheimri sp. nov., these lobes are broad, round-tiped and
 anteriorly smooth, whilst in H. inermis they are narrow, acute to subacute and anteriorly serrate. Neohela lamia sp. nov. has
 been recorded in Svalbard and Norway between 80°50'N and 63°10'N and at depths ranging from 860 to 1350 m. Its
 geographical range widely overlaps with that of N. monstrosa (Boeck, 1861), which dwells in shallower waters. N. lamia
 sp. nov., N. monstrosa and the Greenlandic N. maxima Stephensen, 1933 exhibit several clear-cut differences, the most
 striking being observed on the frontal area of head. The anterior margin of head has two triangular submedian teeth in N.
 lamia sp. nov., a tiny spiniform median rostrum in N. monstrosa, and a toothless margin in N. maxima.

description: The occurrence of living deep-water corals, Lophelia pertusa and Madrepora oculata, from stations 21-42 km
 off the southern and south-western coast of Malta is reported. Fragments of living colonies of both species, as well as some
 large pieces of Lophelia frameworks were recovered from depths of 390-617 m together with the solitary coral
 Desmophyllum dianthus (= cristagalli). The accompanying biota included the barnacle Pachylasma giganteum, the
 gastropod Coralliophila richardi, the bivalves Asperarca nodulosa and Spondylus gussonii, and the polychaete Eunice
 norvegicus, all of which are frequently associated with deep-water corals. The occurrence of the Lophelia-Madrepora-
 Desmophyllum triad, the large pieces of coral frameworks consisting predominantly of live, healthy polyps, and the
 associated biota, suggest that coral patches may be present in at least some of the investigated localities, rather than just
 fragmented remains or isolated colonies.

description: Breast cancer is the most prominent cancer among females in the United States. There are a number of risk factors associated with development of breast cancer, including consumption of a high-fat diet and obesity. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a cytokine upregulated in obesity whose expression is correlated with a poor prognosis in breast cancer. As a key mediator of adipogenesis and regulator of adipokine production, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor- (PPAR-) is involved in PAI-1 expression from adipose tissue. We summarize the current knowledge linking PPAR- and PAI-1 expression to high-fat diet and obesity in the risk of breast cancer.

description: A series of 1H-benzo[f]chromene moieties (4a–z) were synthesised under Ultrasonic irradiation and confirmed with spectral analyses. Derivative 4i solely possessed an X-ray single crystal. The anti-proliferative efficacy of the desired molecules has been explored against three cancer cells: MCF-7, HCT-116, and HepG-2 with the cytotoxically active derivatives screened against MCF-7/ADR and normal cells HFL-1 and WI-38. Furthermore, compounds 4b–d, 4k, 4n, 4q, and 4w, which possessed good potency against MCF-7/ADR, were tested as permeability glycoprotein (P-glycoprotein [P-gp]) expression inhibitors. The attained data confirmed that 4b–d, 4q, and 4w exhibited strong expression inhibition against the P-gp alongside its cytotoxic effect on MCF-7/ADR. The western blot results and Rho123 accumulation assays showed that compounds 4b–d, 4q, and 4w effectively inhibited the P-gp expression and efflux function. Meanwhile, 4b–d, 4q, and 4w induced apoptosis and accumulation of the treated MCF-7/ADR cells in the G1 phase and 4k and 4n in the S phase of the cell cycle.

description: IntroductionWe examined health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in white and African American patients based on their own and their community's socioeconomic status.MethodsParticipants were 4,565 adults recruited from 17 family physician practices in urban and rural areas of North Carolina. Education was used as a proxy for individual socioeconomic status, and the census block-group poverty level was used as a proxy for community socioeconomic status. HRQOL measures were the 12-Item Short Form Survey Instrument, physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS), and 3 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention HRQOL healthy days measures. Multilevel analyses examined independent associations of individual and community poverty level with HRQOL, adjusting for demographics and clustering by family practice. Analyses were stratified by race and were conducted on subgroups of arthritis and cardiovascular disease patients.ResultsAmong whites, all 5 HRQOL measures were significantly associated with the lowest individual socioeconomic status, and 4 HRQOL measures were associated with the lowest community socioeconomic status (MCS being the exception). Among African Americans, 4 HRQOL measures were significantly associated with the lowest individual socioeconomic status and the lowest community socioeconomic status (PCS being the exception). Arthritis and cardiovascular disease subgroup analyses showed generally analogous findings.ConclusionBetter HRQOL measures generally were associated with low levels of community poverty and high levels of education, emphasizing the need for further exploration of factors that influence health.

description: Adult females, subadult males at 5th copepodid stage and adult males of Methanocalanus gabonicus, a new genus
 and species of the family Spinocalanidae Vervoort, 1951 (Copepoda, Calanoida), were found in hydrocarbon fluids, a few
 centimetres above vesicomyid and mytilid bivalves aggregating at the giant pockmark Regab on the Gabon continental
 margin (Southeast Atlantic) at a depth of 3151-3155 m. After description of the monotypic genus Isaacsicalanus Fleminger,
 1983 from the East Pacific Rise, this is the second finding of calanoid copepods swarming in deep sea chemosynthetic envi-
 ronment. Methanocalanus gen. nov., a sister genus to the genus Isaacsicalanus, is characterized by the following derived
 characters: 3 large teeth on the masticatory blade of mandible separated from 5 others by a groove; 1 seta on the second to
 fourth articulating endopodal segment of maxilliped. The female exhibits, as many calanoid genera, a ventral semi-circular
 genital operculum covering the paired gonopores. Morphological and anatomical observations of M. gabonicus gen. nov.,
 sp. nov. indicate that females of this species can feed on small particles from or near the bottom environment while the
 males are supposed to not feed.

description: CFSFDP (clustering by fast search and find of density peaks) is recently developed density-based clustering algorithm. Compared to DBSCAN, it needs less parameters and is computationally cheap for its non-iteration. Alex. at al have demonstrated its power by many applications. However, CFSFDP performs not well when there are more than one density peak for one cluster, what we name as "no density peaks". In this paper, inspired by the idea of a hierarchical clustering algorithm CHAMELEON, we propose an extension of CFSFDP,E_CFSFDP, to adapt more applications. In particular, we take use of original CFSFDP to generating initial clusters first, then merge the sub clusters in the second phase. We have conducted the algorithm to several data sets, of which, there are "no density peaks". Experiment results show that our approach outperforms the original one due to it breaks through the strict claim of data sets.

description: Advances in understanding non-genetic inheritance have prompted broader interest in environmental effects. One way in which such effects may influence adaptation is via the transmission of acquired habitat biases. Here I explore how natal experience influences adult host orientation in the oligophagous passion vine butterfly Heliconius charithonia. As an exemplar of the ‘pupal mating' system, this species poses novelty among diurnal Lepidoptera for the extent to which male as well as female reproductive behaviours are guided by olfactory host cues. I sampled wild adult females breeding exclusively upon Passiflora incarnata, assigned their offspring to develop either upon this species or its local alternative Passiflora suberosa, and then assessed the behaviour of F1 adults in a large rainforest enclosure. Despite the fact that juvenile performance was superior upon P. incarnata, females oviposited preferentially upon their assigned natal species. Mate-seeking males also indicated a bias for the proximity of their natal host, and there was evidence for assortative mating based upon host treatment, although these data are less robust. This study is, to my knowledge, the first to support Hopkins' hostplant principle in butterflies, and points to inducible host preferences capable of reinforcing ecological segregation and ultimately accelerating evolutionary divergence in sympatry.

description: Abstract:
 In North Pole, Alaska, the chemical compound sulfolane has contaminated groundwater in a plume nearly 3.5 miles long, impacting homes using private well water systems. Sulfolane has also been detected in vegetables that were grown in contaminated soils in residents’ gardens. The groundwater plume can be found above and below a layer of permafrost. Remediation of sulfolane can be accomplished by aerating water and soil; however, it is difficult and costly to reach the groundwater that lies beneath the permafrost, where sulfolane remains trapped in some areas. Private wells that are used by residents and businesses have been affected; currently, only buildings within the small boundaries of the city limits are on a public water utility system. Ultimately, the State of Alaska has the responsibility to correct the contamination and ensure clean water for residents. What is an acceptable limit for this contaminant in drinking water when there has been no precedent for such a spill? Evaluation and correction of the situation continues with assistance from the Environmental Protection Agency and the State of Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation. A pending study of health precautions will be released by EPA in 2019.

description: The optimal placement of sensors is studied to construct a surveillance sensor network for a complicated stochastic system with random measurement errors. The problem is formulated as a joint problem of constrained black-box optimization for the fast detection of an anomaly event and spatio-temporal change-point detection for a low false alarm rate. An algorithm is proposed called Confidence-Set based Constrained Bayesian Optimization (CSCBO) that models performance measures as Gaussian Processes (GPs) and provides a flexible and easy-to-implement framework for handling noisy black-box constraints. As the decision variables of this problem are high-dimensional binary variables, the Wasserstein similarity metric is introduced as a distance measure among different solutions to capture the similarity among solutions properly. Finally, a newly proposed detection statistic for spatio-temporal surveillance is combined with CSCBO to identify the optimal sensor placement while controlling the false alarm rate. The combined procedure is applied to the Altamaha River.

description: IntroductionIncreases in obesity and other chronic conditions continue to fuel efforts for lifestyle behavior changes. However, many strategies do not address the impact of environment on lifestyle behaviors, particularly healthy dietary intake. This study explored the perceptions of environment on intake of fruits and vegetables in a cohort of 2,479 people recruited from 22 family practices in North Carolina.MethodsParticipants were administered a health and social demographic survey. Formative assessment was conducted on a subsample of 32 people by using focus groups, semistructured individual interviews, community mapping, and photographs. Interviews and discussions were transcribed and content was analyzed using ATLAS.ti version 5. Survey data were evaluated for means, frequencies, and group differences.ResultsThe 2,479 participants had a mean age of 52.8 years, mean body mass index (BMI) of 29.4, and were predominantly female, white, married, and high school graduates. The 32 subsample participants were older, heavier, and less educated. Some prevalent perceptions about contextual factors related to dietary intake included taste-bud fatigue (boredom with commonly eaten foods), life stresses, lack of forethought in meal planning, current health status, economic status, the ability to garden, lifetime dietary exposure, concerns about food safety, contradictory nutrition messages from the media, and variable work schedules.ConclusionPerceptions about intake of fruits and vegetables intake are influenced by individual (intrinsic) and community (extrinsic) environmental factors. We suggest approaches for influencing behavior and changing perceptions using available resources.
