Distributed flexibility in inertial swimmers

Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study a linear inviscid model of a passively flexible swimmer with distributed flexibility, calculating its propulsive performance and optimal distributions of flexibility. The frequencies of actuation and mean stiffness ratios we consider span a large range, while the mass ratio is fixed to a low value representative of swimmers. We present results showing how the trailing edge deflection, thrust coefficient, power coefficient, and efficiency vary with frequency, mean stiffness, and stiffness distribution. Swimmers with distributed flexibility have the same qualitative features as those with uniform flexibility. Significant gains in thrust can be made, however, by tuning the stiffness such that a resonant response is triggered, or by concentrating stiffness towards the leading edge if resonance cannot be triggered. To minimize power, the opposite is true. Meaningful gains in efficiency can be made at low frequencies by concentrating stiffness away from the leading edge, since doing so induces efficient travelling wave kinematics. We also speculate on the effects of a finite Reynolds number in the form of streamwise drag. The drag adds an offset to the net thrust produced by the swimmer, causing efficiency-maximizing distributions of flexibility to tend towards thrust-maximizing ones, representative of what is found in nature.

description: We consider the combined influence of disorder, electron-electron interactions and quantum hopping on the properties of electronic systems in a localized phase, approaching an insulator-metal transition. The generic models in this regime are the quantum Coulomb glass and its generalization to electrons with spin. After introducing these models we explain our computational method, the Hartree-Fock based diagonalization. We then discuss the conductance and compare spinless fermions and electrons. It turns out that spin degrees of freedom do not play an essential role in the systems considered. Finally, we analyze localization and decay of single-particle excitations. We find that interactions generically tend to localize these excitations which is a result of the Coulomb gap in the single-particle density of states.

Chirality Violation in QCD Reggeon Interactions

description: The appearance of the triangle graph infra-red axial anomaly in reduced quark loops contributing to QCD triple-regge interactions is studied. In a dispersion relation formalism, the anomaly can only be present in the contributions of unphysical triple discontinuities. In this paper an asymptotic discontinuity analysis is applied to high-order feynman diagrams to show that the anomaly does indeed occur in sufficiently high-order reggeized gluon interactions. The reggeon states involved must contain reggeized gluon combinations with the quantum numbers of the anomaly (winding-number) current. A direct connection with the well-known U(1) problem is thus established. Closely related diagrams that contribute to the pion/pomeron and triple pomeron couplings in color superconducting QCD are also discussed.

Cosmic Censorship for AdS$_5$-Kerr

description: We show that cosmic censorship takes an exceptionally complex and interesting form in the case of five-dimensional AdS-Kerr black holes, due to the unusually distant relation obtaining in that case between the black hole parameters and the physical mass and angular momentum. One finds that, in this case, censorship is less restrictive than one might hope: it apparently allows some rather bizarre behaviour, and in particular does not prohibit arbitrarily large angular momenta. We find however that most of the unwelcome geometries permitted by censorship can be eliminated by requiring stability against pair-production of branes. We suggest that the small set of surviving problematic cases can be eliminated in a natural way by imposing a certain (holographic) bound on the physical mass.

SERPINA1

description: Abstract: Background and aims: Alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) is a product of SERPINA1 gene mainly expressed by hepatocytes. Clinically relevant mutations in the SERPINA1 gene, such as Z (Glu342Lys), results in an expression of misfolded AAT protein having high propensity to polymerize, accumulate in hepatocytes and thus to enhance a risk for hepatocyte damage and subsequent liver disease. So far, the relationship between the Z-AAT accumulation and liver cell damage remains not completely understood. We present three-dimensional organoid culture systems, as a novel tool for modeling Z-AAT-related liver diseases. Methods: We have established liver organoids from liver biopsies of patients with homozygous (ZZ) and heterozygous (MZ) deficiency and normal (MM) genotypes of AAT. The features of these organoid models were characterized by analyzing AAT protein secretion and intracellular aggregation in MZ and ZZ genotypes as well as SERPINA1 expression in differentiated cultures. Results: Transcriptional analysis of differentiated organoid cultures by RNA-Seq showed hepatocyte-specific gene expression profile. Genes, such as ALB, APOB, CYP3A4 and SERPINA1, were validated and confirmed through quantitative-PCR analysis. The organoids from MZ and ZZ cases showed intracellular aggregation and lower secretion of AAT protein, and lower expression of ALB and APOB, as typically seen in hepatocytes from Z-AAT deficiency patients. Furthermore, organoids responded to external stimulus. Treatment with oncostatin M, a well-known inducer of SERPINA1, increased expression of the full-length transcripts (AAT-1C) as well as the short transcript of AAT (AAT-ST1C4). Conclusions: Liver organoid model recapitulates the key features of Z-AAT deficiency and provides a useful tool for disease modeling.

description: We introduce the scale calculus, which generalizes the classical differential calculus to non differentiable functions. The new derivative is called the scale difference operator. We also introduce the notions of fractal functions, minimal resolution, and quantum representation of a non differentiable function. We then define a scale quantization procedure for classical Lagrangian systems inspired by the Scale relativity theory developped by Nottale. We prove that the scale quantization of Newtionian mechanics is a non linear Schrodinger equation. Under some specific assumptions, we obtain the classical linear Schrodinger equation.

description: Spontaneous wavefunction collapse theories provide the possibility to resolve the measurement problem of quantum mechanics. However, the best experimental tests have been limited by thermal fluctuations and have operated at frequencies far below those conjectured to allow the physical origins of collapse to be identified. Here we propose to use high-frequency nanomechanical resonators to surpass these limitations. We consider a specific implementation that uses a quantum optomechanical system cooled to near its motional ground state. The scheme combines phonon counting with efficient mitigation of technical noise, including non-linear photon conversion and photon coincidence counting. It is capable of resolving the exquisitely small phonon fluxes required for a conclusive test of collapse models as well as potentially identifying their physical origin.

description: The PHOBOS experiment has measured the charged particle multiplicity at mid-rapidity in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV as a function of the collision centrality. Results on dN/deta(eta<1) divided by the number of participating nucleon pairs, , are presented as a function of . As was found from similar data at sqrt(s_NN) = 130 GeV, the data can be equally well described by parton saturation models and two-component fits which include contributions that scale as Npart and the number of binary collisions, Ncoll. We compare the data at the two energies by means of the ratio R(200/130) of the charged particle multiplicity for the two different energies as a function of . For events with >100$, we find that this ratio is consistent with a constant value of 1.14+-0.01(stat.)+-0.05(syst.).

description: Abstract: A series of calcium borosilicate glasses with varying [B2O3], [MoO3], and [CaO] were prepared and subjected to 92 MeV Xe ions used to simulate the damage from long-term α-decay in nuclear waste glasses. Modifications to the solubility of molybdenum, the microstructure of separated phases, and the Si–O–B network topology were investigated following five irradiation experiments that achieved doses between 5 × 1012 and 1.8 × 1014 Xe ions/cm2 in order to test the hypotheses of whether irradiation would induce, propagate, or anneal phase separation. Using electron microscopy, EDS analysis, Raman spectroscopy, and XRD, irradiation was observed to increase the integration of MoO42− by increasing the structural disorder within and between heterogeneous amorphous phases. This occurred through Si/B-O-Si/B bond breakage and reformation of boroxyl and 3/4-membered SiO4 rings. De-mixing of the Si–O–B network concurrently enabled cross directional Ca and Mo diffusion along defect created pathways, which were prevalent along the interface between phases. The initiation and extent of these changes was dependent primarily on the [SiO2]/[B2O3] ratio, with [MoO3] having a secondary effect on influencing the defect population with increasing dose. Microstructurally, these changes to bonding caused a reduction in heterogeneities between amorphous phases by reducing the size and increasing the spatial distribution of immiscible droplets. This general increase in structural disorder prevented crystallization in most cases, but where precipitation was initiated by radiation, it was re-amorphized with increasing dose. These outcomes suggest that internal radiation can alter phase separation tie lines, and can therefore be used as a tool to design certain structural environments for long-term encapsulation of radioisotopes.

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: We establish rigorously that transport is slower than diffusive for a class of disordered one-dimensional Hamiltonian chains. This is done by deriving quantitative bounds on the variance in equilibrium of the energy or particle current, as a function of time. The slow transport stems from the presence of rare insulating regions (Griffiths regions). In many-body disordered quantum chains, they correspond to regions of anomalously high disorder, where the system is in a localized phase. In contrast, we deal with quantum and classical disordered chains where the interactions, usually referred to as anharmonic couplings in classical systems, are sparse. The system hosts thus rare regions with no interactions and, since the chain is Anderson localized in the absence of interactions, the non-interacting rare regions are insulating. Part of the mathematical interest of our model is that it is one of the few non-integrable models where the diffusion constant can be rigorously proven not to be infinite.

description: We calculate the photon production cross-section in $pA$ collisions under the assumption that the nucleus has reached the saturation regime, while the proton can be described by the standard parton distribution functions. We show that due to the strong classical field $O(1/g)$ of the nucleus, bremsstrahlung diagrams become dominant over the direct photon diagrams. In particular, we show that $γ-$jet transverse momentum spectrum and correlations are very sensitive to gluon saturation effects in the nucleus.

description: Abstract: This contribution explores the concept of selection as an integral part of Haugen’s standardisation model from a theoretical as well as an empirical angle. It focuses on different types of factors of selection and how they are relevant to the study of selection processes both on the level of individual variants and whole varieties. The question of why standard languages appear to differ systematically from vernaculars and at the same time exhibit remarkable resemblances among each other is addressed, and characteristic features of standard languages are traced to general conditions of standardisation processes. A case study on the standardisation of German relativisers illustrates how different factors of selection combine in the dynamics of linguistic structure, variation, attitudes, and codification. It also shows how general tendencies of selection can lead to similar structures across standard languages, while it becomes clear that register variation and the historical development and changing evaluation of stylistic varieties can be crucial in order to explain the selection or de-selection of linguistic forms.

description: Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) is a disease that affects the production of Arabica coffee. Its management is essential to improve the production, income and livelihood of household Arabica coffee farmers. This paper develops a simple methodology to calculate the economic costs, gross returns and net economic gains of CLR management by adopters of chemical controls at the national, state and district levels in India. Chemical controls are distinguished by application of recommended and non-recommended combinations and spray schedules of Bordeaux mixture and Systemic fungicides. The methodology is implemented by using a newly collected sample survey data of 575 household Arabica coffee farmers in the traditional coffee growing regions (Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Kerala) and comprising more than 90 per cent of small farmers. In general, empirical results offer evidence for higher gross returns and positive net economic gains for all adopters of chemical controls with remarkable inter-state and inter-district variations. Though total cost shows remarkable variations between chemical controls and across regions, the composition of total cost shows higher chemical input cost than labour cost for all chemical controls and in all regions. These results have implications for design of a public promotional policy of CLR management by chemical controls for small farmers on empirical economic grounds. Subject to the comparability of CLR by chemical controls, the methodology, empirical results and policy implications are applicable and relevant for other coffee growing and developing countries of Asia and Africa.

description: Using district-level panel data, this paper has assessed sensitivity of Indian agriculture to climate change. Results show that a rise in temperature would reduce agricultural productivity, while rainfall unless it is in excess, will tend to counterbalance harmful effects of temperature. Irrigation is an important adaptation strategy to reduce harmful effects of warmer climate. Predictions suggest that by end of this century, a significant change in climate may reduce productivity of Indian agriculture by 25 per cent. Agriculture in arid and semi-arid regions is more sensitive to climate change, and would be more impacted by climate change. The loss will be higher in the absence of adaptation.
Adaptive activation functions accelerate convergence in deep and physics-informed neural networks

description: We employ adaptive activation functions for regression in deep and physics-informed neural networks (PINNs) to approximate smooth and discontinuous functions as well as solutions of linear and nonlinear partial differential equations. In particular, we solve the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation, which has smooth solutions, the nonlinear Burgers equation, which can admit high gradient solutions, and the Helmholtz equation. We introduce a scalable hyper-parameter in the activation function, which can be optimized to achieve best performance of the network as it changes dynamically the topology of the loss function involved in the optimization process. The adaptive activation function has better learning capabilities than the traditional one (fixed activation) as it improves greatly the convergence rate, especially at early training, as well as the solution accuracy. To better understand the learning process, we plot the neural network solution in the frequency domain to examine how the network captures successively different frequency bands present in the solution. We consider both forward problems, where the approximate solutions are obtained, as well as inverse problems, where parameters involved in the governing equation are identified. Our simulation results show that the proposed method is a very simple and effective approach to increase the efficiency, robustness and accuracy of the neural network approximation of nonlinear functions as well as solutions of partial differential equations, especially for forward problems.

description: Production and consumption of conventional and organic apples in the U.S. have changed dramatically over the past two decades. Despite a drop in the conventional apple production, production of organic apples shows a double-digit growth. Demand for organic apples also continues to outpace growth in overall organic fruit sales. In this research, we investigate whether these changes have an impact on price adjustment dynamics between these two qualitatively differentiated products. We use a Markov-Switching Assymetric Vector Error Ccorrection model (MS-AVECM) and weekly U.S. national retail prices for the 2010-2015 period for three varieties of apples: Gala, Fuji, and Red Delicious. The MS-AVECM results indicate three Markov-Switching regimes can be defined for the three varieties during the study period. The results show there are different short-run price adjustment daynamics in each of these regimes and asymmetric price transmission behavior between organic and conventional apples. Result indicates that apple varity plays important role in the price relationship between organic and conventional apple. These findings have implications for farmers, wholesalers, retailers, policy makers, as well as consumers.

description: Agriculture in North Carolina contributes to 19 percent of the state’s income and employs over 20 percent of the work force. Agricultural activities are significant in rural counties and nearly 30 percent of the total population of North Carolina lives in 85 rural counties. Individuals in these rural counties have less income, education, and employment opportunities eventually in high poverty and unemployment rates. The objective of this study is to examine the potential use of agriculture in economic growth of North Carolina using county level data. Data were gathered from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and U.S. Census Bureau for the period of 2000 to 2010. A system of simultaneous equations is used for the analysis. Results highlight that increasing income increases agricultural activities and vise versa. Thus, the counties with high household income levels are more capable of incorporating agriculture in economic growth while the counties with significant agricultural activities are more competent of improving income levels. Overall, results conclude the importance of secured satisfactory level of income through agriculture to enhance economic growth.

description: Breast ultrasound (US) is an effective imaging modality for breast cancer detection and diagnosis. US computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems have been developed for decades and have employed either conventional hand-crafted features or modern automatic deep-learned features, the former relying on clinical experience and the latter demanding large datasets. In this paper, we have developed a novel BIRADS-SDL network that integrates clinically-approved breast lesion characteristics (BIRADS features) into semi-supervised deep learning (SDL) to achieve accurate diagnoses with a small training dataset. Breast US images are converted to BIRADS-oriented feature maps (BFMs) using a distance-transformation coupled with a Gaussian filter. Then, the converted BFMs are used as the input of an SDL network, which performs unsupervised stacked convolutional auto-encoder (SCAE) image reconstruction guided by lesion classification. We trained the BIRADS-SDL network with an alternative learning strategy by balancing reconstruction error and classification label prediction error. We compared the performance of the BIRADS-SDL network with conventional SCAE and SDL methods that use the original images as inputs, as well as with an SCAE that use BFMs as inputs. Experimental results on two breast US datasets show that BIRADS-SDL ranked the best among the four networks, with classification accuracy around 92.00% and 83.90% on two datasets. These findings indicate that BIRADS-SDL could be promising for effective breast US lesion CAD using small datasets.

description: This study is aimed at evaluating the efficiency of timber processors in Ondo State, Nigeria, using Data Envelopment Analysis. Multi stage sampling technique was used to select two Local Government Areas with the highest number of sawmills, from each of which twenty saw millers were randomly selected, given a total of forty saw millers. Based on Constant Return to Scale Technical Efficiency, 35% of the saw millers were technically efficient while on the basis of Variable Return to Scale TE, 60% of the saw millers were technically efficient. About 35% of the saw millers were scale efficient. The Data Envelopment Analysis output revealed that 35% of the sampled saw millers were both technically and scale efficient and were hence operating at the most productive scale size. About 65% of the saw millers were operating at sub-optimal condition. Excesses in input utilization were observed in respect of total fixed cost, costs of electricity, servicing of mill, timber from forest reserve and operation of truck; and remuneration of labour. The inefficient firms should be encouraged to emulate the operating practices of the most productive firms so as to improve their performance.

description: Abstract: Background: The five-tiered Cambridge Prognostic Group (CPG) classification is a better predictor of prostate cancer-specific mortality than the traditional three-tiered classification (low, intermediate, and high risk). We investigated radical treatment rates according to CPG in men diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer in England between 2014 and 2017. Methods: Patients diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer were identified from the National Prostate Cancer Audit database. Men were risk stratified according to the CPG classification. Risk ratios (RR) were estimated for undergoing radical treatment according to CPG and for receiving radiotherapy for those treated radically. Funnel plots were used to display variation in radical treatment rates across hospitals. Results: A total of 61,999 men were included with 10,963 (17.7%) in CPG1 (lowest risk group), 13,588 (21.9%) in CPG2, 9452 (15.2%) in CPG3, 12,831 (20.7%) in CPG4, and 15,165 (24.5%) in CPG5 (highest risk group). The proportion of men receiving radical treatment increased from 11.3% in CPG1 to 78.8% in CGP4, and 73.3% in CPG5. Men in CPG3 were more likely to receive radical treatment than men in CPG2 (66.3% versus 48.4%; adjusted RR 1.44; 95% CI 1.36–1.53; P < 0.001). Radically treated men in CPG3 were also more likely to receive radiotherapy than men in CPG2 (59.2% versus 43.9%; adjusted RR, 1.18; 95% CI 1.10–1.26). Although radical treatment rates were similar in CPG4 and CPG5 (78.8% versus 73.3%; adjusted RR 1.01; 95% CI 0.98–1.04), more men in CPG5 had radiotherapy than men in CPG4 (79.9% versus 59.1%, adjusted RR 1.26; 95% CI 1.12–1.40). Conclusions: The CPG classification distributes men in five risk groups that are about equal in size. It reveals differences in treatment practices in men with intermediate-risk disease (CPG2 and CPG3) and in men with high-risk disease (CPG4 and CPGP5) that are not visible when using the traditional three-tiered risk classification.
