description: Bei der Verfügbarmachung von Forschungsdaten wird zunehmend gefordert, ein verstärktes Augenmerk auf die Datenqualität zu legen (z.B. durch den RfII im Rahmen der NFDI). Wir verstehen die Kuratierung als wesentlichen Arbeitsschritt bei der Qualitätssicherung von Forschungsdaten. Mit der Kuratierung wird es möglich, die Daten nach fachlichen Standards aufzubereiten und sie dadurch nachnutzbar zu machen. Das Poster zeigt drei exemplarische Praxisprobleme auf, die sich bei der Kuratierung von sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschungsdaten stellen und die vor der Veröffentlichung zu beachten sind: 1. In Bezug auf die Datenaufbereitung sollten verschiedene Aspekte geprüft werden, die für eine Nachnutzbarkeit des Datensatzes entscheidend sind (Eindeutigkeit sowie Konsistenz bei Variablennamen/-labels und Missing Values, einheitliche Codierung, vollständige IDs, usw.). 2. Sozialwissenschaftliche Forschungsdaten haben häufig einen Personenbezug, weshalb es notwendig ist, Datenschutzvorgaben einzuhalten. So muss bspw. sichergestellt werden, dass die Kombination des Datensatzes mit anderen Quellen keine Re-Identifizierung von Studienteilnehmer*innen zulässt. 3. Es ist auszuschließen, dass der Datensatz urheberrechtlich relevantes Material verwendet und die Nutzungsrechte von Dritten verletzt (z.B. bei der Forschung zu Social Media). Mit dem Poster wollen wir einen Beitrag zur Diskussion um Ausmaß und Aufgabenverteilung der Kuratierung von Forschungsdaten liefern: Die Forderung nach Open Data ist wichtiger denn je. Bei der Veröffentlichung von Forschungsdaten aus den Sozialwissenschaften zeigt sich jedoch ein Dilemma zwischen Wunsch und Wirklichkeit: Die Qualitätssicherung ist zum einen unerlässlich, zum anderen ist sie sehr aufwendig. Den Wissenschaftler*innen selbst fehlt im beschleunigten Forschungsalltag hierfür meist schlicht die Zeit. Unser Fazit ist daher, dass die wissenschaftliche Infrastruktur diese Aufgabe übernehmen kann. Der Vorteil: Forscher*innen bleibt Zeit zum Forschen und die Verfügbarkeit von qualitätsgesicherten Daten steigt als Ganzes.

description: As Internet-based tactics become commonplace in public relations practice, targeting campaigns to specific publics becomes more challenging. The global reach of the Internet challenges a public relations practitioner’s confidence that an online message targeted at a set of specific demographics will reach only the intended audience. Internet-based public relations campaigns can attract unexpected, or even unwanted, publics to a project or brand, and practitioners must be ready to manage these unexpected participants. This article examines unexpected publics that engaged an online public participation project focused on architectural design and transit planning. The project, which was targeted at everyday bus riders in Salt Lake City, Utah, attracted an international base of design professionals. These unexpected publics, who learned of the project through the Internet, caused global-local and amateur-professional tensions that complicated the outcomes of the project. Through website analytic data, user registration data on the website, and interviews with project participants, this article explores these tensions and offers practical advice for managing unexpected publics online.

description: The non-linear (strong-field) Breit-Wheeler $e^+e^-$ pair production by a probe photon traversing two consecutive short and ultra short (sub-cycle) laser pulses is considered within a QED framework. The temporal shape of the pulses and the distance between them are essential for the differential cross section as a function of the azimuthal angle distribution of the outgoing electron (positron). The found effect of a pronounced azimuthal anisotropy is important for sub-cycle pulses and decreases rapidly with increasing width of the individual pulses.

description: Cloud computing is a new model of computing which provides scalability, flexibility and on-demand service. Virtualization is one of the main components of the cloud, but unfortunately, this technology suffers from many security vulnerabilities. The main purpose of this paper is to present a new secure architecture of Virtual Network machines in order to increase security among virtual machines in a virtualized environment (Xen as a case study). First, we expose the different network modes based on Xen Hypervisor, and then we analyze vulnerabilities and security issues within this kind of environment. Finally, we present in details new secure architecture and demonstrate how it can face the main security network attacks.
A Research Agenda for Online Advertising: Surveying Campaign Practices, 2000-2012

description: This article traces the development of online political advertising across four presidential election cycles (2000–2012) to outline an agenda for scholarly research. In 2000, campaigns purchased banner advertisements on sites such as AOL.com. In 2004, campaigns engaged in search engine advertising and piloted much of the data-driven practice of targeting and measuring returns that is standard today. In 2008, the Obama campaign pioneered online advertising designed to find and mobilize supporters and convince undecided voters. In 2012, campaigns began integrating online data with voter files, expanding their ability to target communications based on models of voter attitudes and behavior. Drawing on these empirical findings, we suggest an agenda for research into the processes and effects of online political advertising.

The effects of hepatitis C virus non-structural protein 3 on cell growth mediated by extracellular signal-related kinase cascades in human hepatocytes in vitro
Creators: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has become a severe health problem worldwide. The viral proteins are believed to be among the most important factors that contribute to HCV mediated pathogenesis. Accumulated evidence demonstrating that HCV non-structural protein 3 (NS3) possesses oncogenic potential, and is involved in the regulation of cell proliferation has been documented. In this study, we emphasized the effect of HCV NS3 protein on cell proliferation in the immortally normal hepatocyte QSG7701 cells. The cell line transfected with plasmid expressing NS3 protein showed enhanced cell growth, extracellular signal-related kinase (ERK) activation, DNA binding activities of transcription factors of activator protein 1 (AP-1) and NF-kappaB, and cyclin D1 overexpression, but without activation of Jun amino-terminal kinase or p38. Pre-treatment of NS3 protein expressing cells with ERK inhibitor, PD98059, blocked the activation of AP-1 and NF-kappaB, and inhibited cyclin D1 expression and cell proliferation. The results suggest that NS3-mediated cell growth occurs through activation of ERK/AP-1 and NF-kappaB/cyclin D1 cascades.

description: We study the holographic Dynamic AdS/QCD description of a SU($N_c$) non-abelian gauge theory with $N_f$ fermions in the fundamental representation which also have Nambu-Jona-Lasinio interactions included using Witten's multi-trace prescription. In particular here we study aspects of the dynamics in and near the conformal window of the gauge theory as described by the two loop running of the gauge theory. If the number of flavours is such that the IR fixed point lies with the anomalous dimension, $γ$, of the quark bilinear above one then chiral symmetry breaking occurs. Here we display a spiral in the mass - quark condensate plane describing a sequence of unstable excited states of the vacuum. An attractive NJL operator enhances the vacuum condensate but only an infinitely repulsive NJL interaction switches off the condensation completely. When $N_f$ changes so that the IR fixed point falls below one (the conformal window region) there is a numerical discontinuity in the phase structure with condensation only occurring with a super critical NJL interaction. In the conformal window, the running of $γ$ to a non-trivial IR fixed point is similar to walking dynamics, although chiral symmetry breaking is not triggered. In the "Ideal Walking" scenario, chiral symmetry is broken in that IR conformal regime by the NJL interaction, but the change in $γ$ enhances the UV condensate. That enhancement of the condensate is shown in an analytic model with a sharp change in $γ$ and we show equivalent numerical results for the case of the two loop running. In the model the $σ$ becomes massless as the gauge theory running becomes near conformal and we show it is possible to realize a light higgs-like state in Ideal Walking models.

title: Application of the Reiterative MMSE Algorithm to Underwater Acoustics Using Covariance Matrix Tapers for Robustness

subject: Matched filter

description: Signal detection in underwater acoustics is conventionally performed with the matched filter. The matched filter is simple, efficient, and well understood. Unfortunately, it is also susceptible to poor sidelobe performance in the presence of loud signals. This can lead to signal masking and missed detections. The matched filter may not be able to resolve the arrival time of multiple, closely-spaced signals. The goal of this thesis is to explore the use of a new radar algorithm, known as the Reiterative Minimum Mean Squared Error (RMMSE) Algorithm [1] for use in underwater acoustics. The sensitivity of the RMMSE algorithm to several common sonar distortions is explored. The distortions are simulated and processing results are presented. Algorithm sensitivity is quantified through a measurement of the median sidelobe level of the filter output. It is seen that the RMMSE algorithm suffers from degraded performance in the presence of the simulated distortions, and in some cases the adverse effects of the distortion are severe. Further investigation derives Covariance Matrix Tapers (CMTs) as a robustness enhancement to the RMMSE algorithm. Simulations demonstrate the benefit of RMMSE-CMT processing. In all cases investigated, CMTs successfully mitigate distortion and improve output sidelobe levels. CMTs are also computationally efficient. They are computed once and applied through the use of the Hadamard product (element by element matrix multiplication). The use of CMTs in RMMSE processing is a new contribution to RMMSE literature. Experimental data analysis is also presented. Initial RMMSE processing results show severely degraded algorithm performance- only the strongest signal is visible. RMMSECMT processing reveals the presence of at least three additional signals that are unresolvable in the matched filter and RMMSE sidelobes.
Bounding the penguin effects on determinations of $α$ from $B^0(t)\toπ^+π^-$ decays

Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: In the absence of the QCD penguin contributions a measurement of the time-dependent asymmetry in the decay $B^0(t)\to π^+π^-$ gives directly the weak angle $α$. Several bounds have been proposed in the literature on the magnitude of the penguin effects on this determination, the prototype of which is the isospin bound of Grossman and Quinn. It is pointed out that large strong final state interactions could cause these bounds to overestimate the real penguin effect. A new flavor SU(3) bound is proposed, requiring only the charge-averaged branching ratios for $B^0\to π^+π^-$ and $B_s\to K^+K^-$, which exactly takes into account all relevant amplitudes and electroweak penguin effects. This bound on the penguin-induced error on the determination of the weak phase $α$ holds even without a knowledge of the direct CP asymmetry in the $π^+π^-$ channel.

description: The tumor suppressor protein p53 is a transcription factor that is frequently mutated in human cancers. In response to DNA damage, unmutated or wild-type (wt) p53 protein is stabilized and activated by post-transcriptional modifications that enable it to induce either apoptosis or cell cycle arrest. Using a yeast p53-dissociator assay, we identified MAGED2 as a potential negative regulator of wt p53 activity. Subsequently, using co-immunoprecipitation and reporter gene assays in human cultured cells that are often adopted for functional analysis of p53 we demonstrated that MAGED2 interacted physically with p53 and modified its activity. Finally, we were able to illustrate expression of both p53 and MAGED2 within the same subcellular compartment, i.e. either nucleus or cytoplasm, in 2,682 human cancer tissue specimens using a common cancer tissue microarray and antibodies against MAGED2 and p53. The present results implicate MAGED2, a novel protein, as a p53-dissociator.

The mean field phase diagram is found to be consistent with the phases observed in the cuprate superconductors, which contains d-wave superconductor, spin gap, strange metal, and Fermi liquid phases. The spin gap phase is best understood as the staggered flux phase, which is nevertheless translationally invariant for physical quantities. The electron spectral function shows small Fermi pockets at low doping which continuously evolve into the large Fermi surface at high doping concentrations.

description: We discuss a recently proposed scenario where the sparticle masses are purely mediated by gravity through the superconformal anomaly. This scenario elegantly evades the supersymmetric flavor problem since soft masses, like the anomaly, are not directly sensitive to ultraviolet physics. However, its minimal incarnation fails by predicting tachyonic sleptons. We study the conditions for decoupling of heavy threshold effects and how these conditions are evaded. We use these results to build a realistic class of models where the non-decoupling effects of ultra-heavy vectorlike matter fields eliminate the tachyons. These models have a flavor invariant superspectrum similar to that of gauge mediated models. They, however, differ in several aspects: the gaugino masses are not unified, the colored sparticles are not much heavier than the others, the mu-problem is less severe and the gravitino mass is well above the weak scale, m_{3/2} \sim 10 TeV. We also show that in models where an R-symmetry can be gauged, the associated D-term gives rise to soft terms that are similarly insensitive to the ultraviolet.

description: The 2D RP(2) gauge model is studied using the Monte-Carlo Renormalization Group. We confirm the first-order transition reported by Solomon et al. (PL 112B, (1982)) ending in a critical point associated with vorticity. We find evidence for a new renormalized trajectory which is responsible for a cross-over from the vortex dominated regime to the O(3) regime as the coupling is reduced. Near to the cross-over region a good signal for scaling will be observed in RP(2) but this is illusory and is due to the proximity of the new renormalized trajectory. We suggest that this is the origin of the `pseudo'-scaling observed Hasenbusch and Horgan (PR D53, (1996)). We find that the continuum limit of RP(2) is controlled by the O(3) fixed point. It is unclear whether the continuum limit of the new renormalized trajectory can be taken at the observed critical point.

description: Nearby galaxy surveys have long classified X-ray binaries (XRBs) by the mass category of their donor stars (high-mass and low-mass). The NuSTAR observatory, which provides imaging data at E $>10$ keV, has enabled the classification of extragalactic XRBs by their compact object type: neutron star (NS) or black hole (BH). We analyzed NuSTAR/Chandra/XMM-Newton observations from a NuSTAR-selected sample of 12 galaxies within 5 Mpc having stellar masses ($M_{\star}$) $10^{7-11}$ $M_{\odot}$ and star formation rates (SFR) $\approx0.01-15$ $M_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$. We detect 128 NuSTAR sources to a sensitivity of $\approx10^{38}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Using NuSTAR color-intensity and color-color diagrams we classify 43 of these sources as candidate NS and 47 as candidate BH. We further subdivide BH by accretion states (soft, intermediate, and hard) and NS by weak (Z/Atoll) and strong (accreting pulsar) magnetic field. Using 8 normal (Milky Way-type) galaxies in the sample, we confirm the relation between SFR and galaxy X-ray point source luminosity in the 4-25 and 12-25 keV energy bands. We also constrain galaxy X-ray point source luminosity using the relation $L_{\rm{X}}=αM_{\star}+β\text{SFR}$, finding agreement with previous work. The XLF of all sources in the 4-25 and 12-25 keV energy bands matches with the $α=1.6$ slope for high-mass XRBs. We find that NS XLFs suggest a decline beginning at the Eddington limit for a 1.4 $M_{\odot}$ NS, whereas the BH fraction shows an approximate monotonic increase in the 4-25 and 12-25keV energy bands. We calculate the overall ratio of BH to NS to be $\approx1$ for 4-25 keV and $\approx2$ for 12-25 keV.

description: A floristic survey and analysis of community composition were conducted during the 2017 and 2018 growing seasons at the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship (BRCES), Purcellville, Virginia. The BRCES is an 895 acre park located in the "Between the Hills" region of Loudoun County between the Blue Ridge and Short Hill Mountain. The park contains several wetlands, including Gordon Pond, Piney Run, Sweet Run and an unshaded seep adjacent to Sweet Run, as well as a wetland that has developed in place of a formerly dammed pond. Parts of two meadows, Demory Field and Sawmill Field, as well as a powerline cut, are maintained for native grasses and meadow plants. On June 14, 2016, the mostly wooded western 600 acres of the park were transferred to the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation to form Loudoun County's first state park. In this study, 515 species belonging to 328 genera and 105 families were identified. Forty-four species and seven varieties and subspecies identified were new records for Loudoun County. Two species, Pycnanthemum torreyi and Platanthera peramoena, are considered rare at the state level under the Virginia Natural Heritage Resources designations S2 (imperiled) and S1 (critically imperiled) respectively. Eleven plots were used to determine community types as defined by the Virginia Natural Heritage Program resulting in five distinct community types belonging to terrestrial and palustrine communities and a sixth, mixed terrestrial and palustrine community. The data collected in this survey and community type study provide a baseline for monitoring the impact of future park development at the BRCES on the park’s flora.

Without market prices goods cannot be rationally allocated amongst competing ends. The second chapter is about the growth of water infrastructure and the polycentric nature of water governance. The last chapter is about water and institutional change. Normally institutions are thought of as being slow to change, this chapter provides examples of where the institutions governing water responded rapidly to changes in scientific knowledge and new technologies. Institutions change when the benefits of changing exceed the costs of change.
SO(3) Gauge Symmetry and Neutrino-Lepton Flavor Physics

description: Based on the SO(3) gauge symmetry for three family leptons and general see-saw mechanism, we present a simple scheme that allows three nearly degenerate Majorana neutrino masses needed for hot dark matter. The vacuum structure of the spontaneous SO(3) symmetry breaking can automatically lead to a maximal CP-violating phase. Thus the current neutrino data on both the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and solar neutrino deficit can be accounted for via maximal mixings without conflict with the current data on the neutrinoless double beta decay. The model also allows rich interesting phenomena on lepton flavor violations.

description: This work is devoted to investigate some of the interior configuration of static anisotropic spherical stellar charged structures in the regime of $f(\mathcal{G})$ gravity, where $\mathcal{G}$ is the Gauss Bonnet invariant. The structure of particular charged stars is analyzed with the help of solution obtained by Krori and Barua under different viable models in $f(\mathcal{G})$ gravity theory. The behavior of some physical aspects is investigated with the help of plots and the viability of our modeling is analyzed through different energy conditions. We have also studied some behavior of these realistic charged compact stars and discuss some aspects like density variation, evolution of stresses, different forces, stability of these stars, measure of anisotropy, equation of state parameters and the distribution of charges.

description: In young circumstellar disks, accretion--the inspiral of disk material onto the central star--is important for both the buildup of stellar masses and the outcome of planet formation. Although the existence of accretion is well documented, understanding the angular momentum transport mechanism that enables disk accretion has proven to be an enduring challenge. The leading theory to date, the magnetorotational instability, which redistributes angular momentum within the disk, is increasingly questioned, and magnetothermal disk winds, which remove angular momentum from the disk, have emerged as an alternative theoretical solution. Here we investigate whether measurements of disk radii can provide useful insights into which, if either, of these mechanisms drive disk accretion, by searching for evidence of viscous spreading in gaseous disks, a potential signature of "in disk" angular momentum transport. We find that the large sizes of most Class II (T Tauri) gas disks compared to those of their earlier evolutionary counterparts, Class I gas disks, are consistent with expectations for viscous spreading in the Class II phase. There is, however, a large spread in the sizes of Class II gas disks at any age, including a population of very small Class II gas disks. Their small sizes may result from processes such as photoevaporation, disk winds, or truncation by orbiting low mass companions.

Topological orders and Edge excitations in FQH states
Creators: name: Wen, Xiao-Gang
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) liquids contain extremely rich internal structures which represent a whole new kind of ordering. We discuss characterization and classification of the new orders (which is called topological orders). We also discuss the edge excitations in FQH liquids, which form the so-called chiral Luttinger liquids. The chiral Luttinger liquids at the edges also have very rich structures as a reflection of the rich topological orders in the bulk. Thus, edge excitations provide us a practical way to measure topological orders in experiments.

title: Recent Results from the Experimental Evaluation of the Learnable Evolution Model

description: The Learnable Evolution Model (LEM) represents a form of non-Darwinian evolutionary computation that is guided by a learning system. Specifically, LEM "genetically engineers" new populations via hypothesis formation and instantiation. This paper presents results from new studies in which LEM was systematically tested on a range of optimization problems and a complex real world design task. The study involved LEM2, a new implementation oriented toward function optimization, and LEMd-ISHED, an implementation oriented toward engineering design. LEM2 strongly outperformed tested evolutionary algorithms in terms of the evolution length, measured by the number of fitness function evaluations needed to reach the solution. This evolutionary speedup also translated to an execution speedup whenever the fitness evaluation time was above a small threshold (a fraction of a second). Experiments with LEMd-ISHED on problems of optimizing heat exchangers (evaporators) produced designs that matched or exceeded designs produced by human experts.

description: The objective of this article is to examine the implications of the intellectual property provisions in the US–Jordan Free Trade Agreement (US–JO FTA) and whether they serve as a template for other Arab countries who will be concluding free trade agreements with the USA. My claim in this article is that the intellectual property part of the US–JO FTA goes beyond the World Trade Organization Agreement and cannot form the right template for the proposed US–Middle East FTA of 2013. The first section provides a brief introduction to the US–JO FTA. The second section provides a critical analysis of the FTA’s protection of trademarks, copyright and patents. The third and fourth sections discuss enforcement and implementation of the intellectual property provisions of the FTA. The final section provides conclusion regarding the intellectual property provisions of the US–JO FTA and highlights an alternative template for the proposed US–Middle East FTA.

Intermediate mass strangelets are positively charged

description: For a limited range of parameters, stable strange quark matter may be negatively charged in bulk due to one gluon exchange interactions. However, the reduction in strange quark occupation in the surface layer, which is responsible for surface tension, more than compensates this for intermediate mass strangelets, which therefore always have positive quark charge (e.g. for baryon number between 10^2 and 10^{18} assuming alpha_S=0.9). While details are sensitive to the choice of renormalisation, the general conclusion is not. This rules out a scenario where negatively charged strangelets produced in ultrarelativistic heavy ion colliders might grow indefinitely with potentially disastrous consequences.

Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study of the Incidence of Adverse Events Associated With Cosmetic Dermatologic Procedures: Lasers, Energy Devices, and Injectable Neurotoxins and Fillers
Creators: name: Moutran, Roy
name: Maatouk, Ismaël

description: IMPORTANCE: Common noninvasive to minimally invasive cosmetic dermatologic procedures are widely believed to be safe given the low incidence of reported adverse events, but reliable incidence data regarding adverse event rates are unavailable to date.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence of adverse events associated with noninvasive to minimally invasive cosmetic dermatologic procedures, including those involving laser and energy devices, as well as injectable neurotoxins and fillers.

DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: A multicenter prospective cohort study (March 28, 2011, to December 30, 2011) of procedures performed using laser and energy devices, as well as injectable neurotoxins and soft-tissue augmentation materials, among 8 geographically dispersed US private and institutional dermatology outpatient clinical practices focused on cosmetic dermatology, with a total of 23 dermatologists. Participants represented a consecutive sample of 20 399 cosmetic procedures. Data acquisition was for 3 months (13 weeks) per center, with staggered start dates to account for seasonal variation.

EXPOSURES: Web-based data collection daily at each center to record relevant procedures, by category type and subtype. Adverse events were detected by (1) initial observation by participating physicians or staff; (2) active ascertainment from patients, who were encouraged to self-report after their procedure; and (3) follow-up postprocedural phone calls to patients by staff, if appropriate. When adverse events were not observed by physicians but were suspected, follow-up visits were scheduled within 24 hours to characterize these events. Detailed information regarding each adverse event was entered into an online form.

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The main outcome was the total incidence of procedure-related adverse events (total adverse events divided by total procedures performed), as verified by clinical examination.

RESULTS: Forty-eight adverse events were reported, for a rate of 0.24% (95% CI, 0.18%-0.31%). Overall, 36 procedures resulted in at least 1 adverse event, for a rate of 0.18% (95% CI, 0.13%-0.25%). No serious adverse events were reported. Adverse events were infrequently associated with known risk factors.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Noninvasive to minimally invasive cosmetic dermatologic procedures, including energy, neurotoxin, and filler procedures, are safe when performed by experienced board-certified dermatologists. Adverse events occur in less than 1% of patients, and most of these are minor and transient.

description: We present and experimentally realize a quantum algorithm for efficiently solving the following problem: given an $N\times N$ matrix $\mathcal{M}$, an $N$-dimensional vector $\textbf{\emph{b}}$, and an initial vector $\textbf{\emph{x}}(0)$, obtain a target vector $\textbf{\emph{x}}(t)$ as a function of time $t$ according to the constraint $d\textbf{\emph{x}}(t)/dt=\mathcal{M}\textbf{\emph{x}}(t)+\textbf{\emph{b}}$. We show that our algorithm exhibits an exponential speedup over its classical counterpart in certain circumstances. In addition, we demonstrate our quantum algorithm for a $4\times4$ linear differential equation using a 4-qubit nuclear magnetic resonance quantum information processor. Our algorithm provides a key technique for solving many important problems which rely on the solutions to linear differential equations.

description: We suggest a constrained instanton (CI) solution in the physical QCD vacuum which is described by large-scale vacuum field fluctuations. This solution decays exponentially at large distances. It is stable only if the interaction of the instanton with the background vacuum field is small and additional constraints are introduced. The CI solution is explicitly constructed in the ansatz form, and the two-point vacuum correlator of gluon field strengths is calculated in the framework of the effective instanton vacuum model. At small distances the results are qualitatively similar to the single instanton (SI) case, in particular, the form factor $D_{1}$ is small, which is in agreement with the lattice calculations.
