description: A class of 4d $\mathcal{N}=3$ SCFTs can be obtained from gauging a discrete subgroup of the global symmetry group of $\mathcal{N}=4$ Super Yang-Mills theory. This discrete subgroup contains elements of both the $SU(4)$ R-symmetry group and the $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ S-duality group of $\mathcal{N}=4$ SYM. We give a prescription for how to perform the discrete gauging at the level of the superconformal index and Higgs branch Hilbert series. We interpret and match the information encoded in these indices to known results for rank one $\mathcal{N}=3$ theories. Our prescription is easily generalised for the Coloumb branch and the Higgs branch indices of higher rank theories, allowing us to make new predictions for these theories. Most strikingly we find that the Coulomb branches of higher rank theories are generically not-freely generated.

description: It has been proposed that individuals with autism have difficulties understanding the goals and intentions of others because of a fundamental dysfunction in the mirror neuron system. Here, however, we show that individuals with autism exhibited not only normal fMRI responses in mirror system areas during observation and execution of hand movements but also exhibited typical movement-selective adaptation (repetition suppression) when observing or executing the same movement repeatedly. Movement selectivity is a defining characteristic of neurons involved in movement perception, including mirror neurons, and, as such, these findings argue against a mirror system dysfunction in autism.

description: Exotic nuclear structures such as bubbles and tori are analyzed through semiclassical extended Thomas-Fermi calculations with the Skyrme force SkM$^*$. The variational equations for neutron and proton densities are solved fully self-consistently in spherical (bubbles) and cylindrical (tori) symmetries. The possible existence of bubble configurations in some astrophysical scenarios is discussed. The stability of toroidal structures against change of quadrupole moment is studied.

description: We compare the galaxy population of a smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulation to those predicted by the GalICS (Galaxies In Cosmological Simulations) N-body + semi-analytic model and a stripped down version of GalICS that omits the effects of supernova and active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback. The SPH simulation and the no-feedback GalICS model make similar predictions for the baryonic mass functions of galaxies and for the dependence of these mass functions on environment and redshift. The two methods also make similar predictions for the galaxy content of dark matter haloes as a function of halo mass and for the gas accretion history of galaxies. There is a fairly good correspondence between the ‘cold’ and ‘hot’ accretion modes of the SPH simulation and the rapid and slow cooling regimes of the GalICS calculation. Both the SPH and no-feedback GalICS models predict a bimodal galaxy population at z= 0. The ‘red’ sequence of gas poor, old galaxies is populated mainly by satellite systems, which are starved of fresh gas after they begin orbiting in larger haloes, while, contrary to observations, the central galaxies of massive haloes lie on the ‘blue’ star-forming sequence as a result of continuing hot gas accretion at late times. Furthermore, both models overpredict the observed baryonic mass function, especially at the high-mass end. In the full GalICS model, supernova-driven outflows reduce the masses of low and intermediate mass galaxies by about a factor of 2. AGN feedback suppresses gas cooling in large haloes, producing a sharp cut-off in the baryonic mass function and moving the central galaxies of these massive haloes to the red sequence. Our results imply that the observational failings of the SPH simulation and the no-feedback GalICS model are a consequence of missing input physics rather than computational inaccuracies. Truncating the accretion of gas in satellite galaxies automatically produces a bimodal distribution with a quenched population, but explaining the star formation shutdown in the most massive galaxies requires a mechanism like AGN feedback that suppresses the accretion of gas on to central galaxies in large haloes.

description: Virtual Environments for Research into Social Evolution (VERSE) is a research tool created using Unity3D gaming technology which allows human behaviour and learning to be studied within immersive, open world, three-dimensional virtual environments in which participants have the freedom to navigate and learn novel tasks without the restrictions of laboratory settings.
VERSE is a uses a modular, 'building block' design to give researchers plenty of flexibility in terms of the environments and novel tasks they can produce.

VERSE is designed with social learning experiments in mind (i.e. when/how do individuals learn from others?), however it is a flexible package that can be used for studying many other aspects of human behaviour, e.g. movement behaviour, interactions with the environment, independent learning.
A detailed instruction manual / tutorial is provided ("VERSE instruction manual.pdf") which tells you all you need to know to start creating environments using VERSE!

description: We investigate the interaction of highly focused linearly polarized optical beams with a metal knife-edge both theoretically and experimentally. A high numerical aperture objective focusses beams of various wavelengths onto samples of different sub-wavelength thicknesses made of several opaque and pure materials. The standard evaluation of the experimental data shows material and sample dependent spatial shifts of the reconstructed intensity distribution, where the orientation of the electric field with respect to the edge plays an important role. A deeper understanding of the interaction between the knife-edge and the incoming highly focused beam is gained in our theoretical model by considering eigenmodes of the metal-insulator-metal structure. We achieve good qualitative agreement of our numerical simulations with the experimental findings.

Right-handed sneutrinos as self-interacting dark matter in supersymmetric economical 3-3-1 model

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In this work we show that the supersymmetric economical SU(3)_C X SU(3)_L X U(1)_X (3-3-1) gauge model has a realistic candidate for self-interacting dark matter. In the model under consideration, the right-handed sneutrino is in bottom of the triplet, which is a singlet of the Standard Model SU(2)_L group. In addition, the right-handed sneutrino is the lightest slepton. By these properties, the right-handed sneutrino is weakly interacting with the Standard Model and stable without introduction of extra symmetry. From the Spergel-Steinhardt condition, the typical mass limit $\leq 10 $ MeV is derived. With self-interacting coupling constant fixed by supersymmetry, this limit is deduced without any approximation. The condition for thermal generated self-interacting dark matter in the Universe is also obtained.

description: We consider the general $\mathbb{Z}_2$-symmetric free-fermion model on the finite periodic lattice, which includes as special cases the Ising model on the square and triangular lattices and $\mathbb{Z}_n$-symmetric BBS $τ^{(2)}$-model with $n=2$. Translating Kaufman's fermionic approach to diagonalization of Ising-like transfer matrices into the language of Grassmann integrals, we determine the transfer matrix eigenvectors and observe that they coincide with the eigenvectors of a square lattice Ising transfer matrix. This allows to find exact finite-lattice form factors of spin operators for the statistical model and the associated finite-length quantum chains, of which the most general is equivalent to the XY chain in a transverse field.

description: Traditionally, resource limitation in evolutionary game theory is assumed just to impose a constant population size. Here we show that resource limitations may generate dynamical payoffs able to alter an original prisoner's dilemma, and to allow for the stable coexistence between unconditional cooperators and defectors in well-mixed populations. This is a consequence of a self-organizing process that turns the interaction payoff matrix into evolutionary neutral, and represents a resource-based control mechanism preventing the spread of defectors. To our knowledge, this is the first example of coexistence in well-mixed populations with a game structure different from a snowdrift game.

This is frightening because:The health sector is under-prepared to meet the urgent health care needs of people with disability.

The disability service sector will not be able to meet the care needs of people with disability.
We recommend that governments take immediate steps including:
Rapidly scale up the health care sector’s capacity to care for people with disabilities
Rapidly increase capacity of the disability care workforce to respond to the pandemic and its consequences. The government must ensure that disability services stay open otherwise the lives of people with disabilities are at risk.
There is a need for action at the highest levels of government, across the National Disability Insurance Agency and National Quality and Safeguards Commission to prevent the deaths of people with disability in the coming weeks and months.Statement of Concern #1 - COVID-19 and People with Disability in Australia, 16 March 2020.

A Feedback Information-Theoretic Transmission Scheme (FITTS) for Modeling Trajectory Variability in Aimed Movements
Creators: name: Gori, Julien
name: Rioul, Olivier
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Human-Computer Interaction (cs.HC)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Trajectories in human aimed movements are inherently variable. Using the concept of positional variance profiles, such trajectories are shown to be decomposable into two phases: In a first phase, the variance of the limb position over many trajectories increases rapidly; in a second phase, it then decreases steadily. A new theoretical model, where the aiming task is seen as a Shannon-like communication problem, is developed to describe the second phase: Information is transmitted from a source (determined by the position at the end of the first phase), to a destination (the movement's end-point) over a channel perturbed by Gaussian noise, with the presence of a noiseless feedback link. Information-theoretic considerations show that the positional variance decreases exponentially with a rate equal to the channel capacity C. Two existing datasets for simple pointing tasks are re-analyzed and observations on real data confirm our model. The first phase has constant duration and C is found constant across instructions and task parameters, which thus characterizes the participant's performance. Our model provides a clear understanding of the speed-accuracy tradeoff in aimed movements: Since the participant's capacity is fixed, a higher prescribed accuracy necessarily requires a longer second phase resulting in an increased overall movement time. The well-known Fitts' law is also recovered using this approach.

description: Arch shape is one of the oldest used in architecture and structural engineering, but thanks to its efficiency it is still frequently used, specially, for long span bridges. The shape of an arch is reached at the conceptual design stage, usually resulting in one of three idealized configurations: circular, parabolic or catenary. These forms become bending-less arches under certain fixed load conditions. Although the real structural elements are subjected to a huge number of possible load combinations, there is an only one “bending-less” configuration that is possible, while the safety evaluation must be conducted for each possible load configurations, that means considering static coupling effects of bending and shear actioning on each arch sections. In this paper is evaluated an optimal configuration of a circular arch, subjected to different vertical load combinations, evaluating the height to span ratio, the cross section (hypothesized constant along the arch) and the inertia modulus, as the main representative parameters to be considered. The analysis is performed with the aim to evaluate the optimal configuration able to minimize the self-weight of the arch, not only to limit the materials but also to find solutions for the constructive stages. The analysis is performed using a numerical solution of circular arches equations neglecting shear and axial deformations and considering a homogeneous material. The objective function considered is the total arch weight, while the load is applied in symmetrical and antisymmetrical configurations.

On the mechanism of the highly viscous flow

description: The asymmetry model for the highly viscous flow postulates thermally activated jumps from a practically undistorted ground state to strongly distorted, but stable structures, with a pronounced Eshelby backstress from the distorted surroundings. The viscosity is ascribed to those stable distorted structures which do not jump back, but relax by the relaxation of the surrounding viscoelastic matrix. It is shown that this mechanism implies a description in terms of the shear compliance, with a viscosity which can be calculated from the cutoff of the retardation spectrum. Consistency requires that this cutoff lies close to the Maxwell time. The improved asymmetry model compares well with experiment.

Non-Linguistic Sentence-Length Precursors Affect Speech Perception: Implications for Speaker and Rate Normalization

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: 170199 Psychology not elsewhere classified

description: Speech contexts can influence phonetic perception considerably, even across extended temporal windows. For example, manipulating spectral or temporal characteristics of precursor sentences leads to dramatic changes in categorization of subsequent vowels and consonants (e.g., Ladefoged & Broadbent, 1957; Summerfield, 1981). These findings often have been discussed in terms of speaker and rate normalization. The present study aimed to uncover precisely which types of information in the speech signal subserve such shifts in speech categorization. A series of experiments examined the influence of sentence-length non-speech precursors--series of brief pure tones--on the perception of speech segments with which they shared critical spectral and temporal properties. Across multiple experimental manipulations, the non-speech precursors affected the perceived place (alveolar, velar) and manner (stop, glide) of articulation of synthesized English consonants. Effects were observed even when non-speech precursor series were temporally-nonadjacent to the speech categorization targets and even when multiple interrupting acoustic events separated precursor and target. Both category boundary shifts and changes in graded internal category structure were observed. These results indicate that the auditory system is sensitive to both spectral and temporal information conveyed by non-linguistic sounds across sentence-length temporal windows. Moreover, this sensitivity influences speech categorization, highlighting that general auditory processing may play a role in the speech categorization shifts described as rate and speaker normalization.

description: Context-sensitive global analysis of large code bases can be expensive, which can make its use impractical during software development. However, there are many situations in which modifications are small and isolated within a few components, and it is desirable to reuse as much as possible previous analysis results. This has been achieved to date through incremental global analysis fixpoint algorithms that achieve cost reductions at fine levels of granularity, such as changes in program lines. However, these fine-grained techniques are not directly applicable to modular programs, nor are they designed to take advantage of modular structures. This paper describes, implements, and evaluates an algorithm that performs efficient context-sensitive analysis incrementally on modular partitions of programs. The experimental results show that the proposed modular algorithm shows significant improvements, in both time and memory consumption, when compared to existing non-modular, fine-grain incremental analysis techniques. Furthermore, thanks to the proposed inter-modular propagation of analysis information, our algorithm also outperforms traditional modular analysis even when analyzing from scratch.

description: This article presents an overview of research and theory on the nonauditory effects of noise on human behavior and health. Laboratory and naturalistic research on the effects of noise on human performance, interpersonal behavior, annoyance, cognitive development, and mental and physical health are reviewed. The review includes studies of children as well as adults, and the discussion emphasizes the relevance of this research for predicting the effect of noise in community and industrial settings. Noise effects are viewed as determined by variations in psychological characteristics of a situation as well as the physical parameters of the sound. Predictability and controllability of a noise, its meaning for the respondent and its degree of interference with auditory communication are factors that mediate the effects of noise across a variety of outcome measures.

description: We consider a multi-agent framework for distributed optimization where each agent has access to a local smooth strongly convex function, and the collective goal is to achieve consensus on the parameters that minimize the sum of the agents' local functions. We propose an algorithm wherein each agent operates asynchronously and independently of the other agents. When the local functions are strongly-convex with Lipschitz-continuous gradients, we show that the iterates at each agent converge to a neighborhood of the global minimum, where the neighborhood size depends on the degree of asynchrony in the multi-agent network. When the agents work at the same rate, convergence to the global minimizer is achieved. Numerical experiments demonstrate that Asynchronous Gradient-Push can minimize the global objective faster than state-of-the-art synchronous first-order methods, is more robust to failing or stalling agents, and scales better with the network size.

description: A discussion is given on possible realization of the Single State Dominance (SSD) hypothesis in the case of the two-neutrino double beta decay(2nbb-decay) of 150Nd with 1^- ground state of the intermediate nucleus. We conclude that the SSD hypothesis is expected to be ruled out by precision measurement of differential characteristics of this process in running NEMO 3 or planed SuperNEMO experiments unlike some unknown low-lying 1^+ state of 150Pm does exist. This problem can be solved via (d,2He) charge-exchange experiment on 150Sm. Further, we address the question about possible violation of the Pauli exclusion principle for neutrinos and its consequences for the energy distributions of the 2nbb-decay of 150Nd. This phenomenon might be a subject of interest of NEMO 3 and SuperNEMO experiments as well.

description: This record includes training materials associated with the Australian BioCommons webinar ‘Making sense of phosphoproteomics data with Phosphomatics’. This webinar took place on 2 June 2021. Mass spectrometry-based phosphoproteomics is one of the most powerful tools available for investigating the detailed molecular events that occur in response to cellular stimuli. Experiments can routinely detect and quantify thousands of phosphorylated peptides, and interpreting this data, and extracting biological meaning, remains challenging. This webinar provides an overview of the phosphoproteomics data analysis website, Phosphomatics, that incorporates a suite of tools and resources for statistical and functional analysis that aim to simplify the process of extracting meaningful insights from experimental results. Phosphomatics can natively import search and quantitation results from major search engines including MaxQuant and Proteome Discoverer and employs intuitive ‘wizards’ to guide users through data preprocessing routines such as filtering, normalization and transformation. A graphical platform of interactive univariate and multivariate analysis features is provided that allow subgroups of the uploaded data containing phosphosites of statistical interest to be created and interrogated through further functional analysis. A range of databases have been integrated that, for example, provide ligand and inhibitor information for key proteins or highlight key modification sites known to be involved in functional state regulation. At each step, published literature is natively incorporated along with a ‘bibliography builder’ that allows references of interest to be assembled and exported in various formats. Taken together, these expanded features aim to provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ for phosphoproteomics data analysis. The webinar is followed by a short Q&A session.

Magnetospheric Gamma-Ray Emission in Active Galactic Nuclei

description: The rapidly variable, very high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) has been frequently associated with non-thermal processes occurring in the magnetospheres of their supermassive black holes. The present work aims to explore the adequacy of different gap-type (unscreened electric field) models to account for the observed characteristics. Based on a phenomenological description of the gap potential, we estimate the maximum extractable gap power $L_{gap}$ for different magnetospheric set-ups, and study its dependence on the accretion state of the source. $L_{gap}$ is found to be in general proportional to the Blandford-Znajek jet power $L_{BZ}$ and a sensitive function of gap size $h$, i.e. $L_{gap} \sim L_{BZ} (h/r_g)^β$, where the power index $β\geq 1$ is dependent on the respective gap-setup. The transparency of the black hole vicinity to VHE photons generally requires a radiatively inefficient accretion environment and thereby imposes constraints on possible accretion rates, and correspondingly on $L_{BZ}$. Similarly, rapid variability, if observed, may allow to constrain the gap size $h\sim c Δt$. Combining these constraints, we provide a general classification to assess the likelihood that the VHE gamma-ray emission observed from an AGN can be attributed to a magnetospheric origin. When applied to prominent candidate sources these considerations suggest that the variable (day-scale) VHE activity seen in the radio galaxy M87 could be compatible with a magnetospheric origin, while such an origin appears less likely for the (minute-scale) VHE activity in IC310.

The pion-pion scattering amplitude. IV: Improved analysis with once subtracted Roy-like equations up to 1100 MeV

description: We improve our description of pion-pion scattering data by imposing additional requirements to our previous fits, in the form of once-subtracted Roy-like equations, while extending our analysis up to 1100 MeV. We provide simple and ready to use parametrizations of the amplitude. In addition, we present a detailed description and derivation of these once-subtracted dispersion relations that, in the 450 to 1100 MeV region, provide an additional constraint which is much stronger than our previous requirements of Forward Dispersion Relations and standard Roy equations. The ensuing constrained amplitudes describe the existing data with rather small uncertainties in the whole region from threshold up to 1100 MeV, while satisfying very stringent dispersive constraints. For the S0 wave, this requires an improved matching of the low and high energy parametrizations. Also for this wave we have considered the latest low energy Kl4 decay results, including their isospin violation correction, and we have removed some controversial data points. These changes on the data translate into better determinations of threshold and subthreshold parameters which remove almost all disagreement with previous Chiral Perturbation Theory and Roy equation calculations below 800 MeV. Finally, our results favor the dip structure of the S0 inelasticity around the controversial 1000 MeV region.

description: Results from a variety of studies suggest that under conditions of arousal and/or information overload, attention is focused on task-relevant cues at the cost of those that are less relevant to task performance. The stimuli under consideration in these studies have been exclusively nonsocial. To examine the effects of environmental stress on the processing of task-irrelevant cues of a social nature, subjects performed a free recall task in which they were instructed to recall six nonsense syllables presented serially under either noise or quiet. In all conditions, slides of social situations, each depicting either calm or distressed person(s), were presented just to the right of the nonsense syllables. After simulus presentation half of the subjects were given the expected recall test for nonsense syllables. The remaining subjects were instead given a recognition memory test for the peripheral social cues. While noise did not affect memory for the task-relevant cues (nonsense syllables), task-irrelevant cues (social-cue slides), regardless of whether they depicted calm or distressed persons, were remembered less well under noise than under quiet.

description: A fermionic model, built up of q species of localized Fermi particles, interacting by charge correlations, is isomorphic to a spin-q/2 Ising model. However, the equivalence is only formal and the two systems exhibit a different physical behavior. By considering a Bethe lattice with q=1, we have exactly solved the models. There exists a critical temperature below which there is a spontaneous breakdown of the particle-hole symmetry for the first model, and of the spin symmetry for the second. While the spin system is always stable and exhibits a homogeneous ferromagnetic phase below T_{c}, the fermionic system for T
