description: We consider the condensate wavefunction of a rapidly rotating two-component Bose gas with an equal number of particles in each component. If the interactions between like and unlike species are very similar (as occurs for two hyperfine states of $^{87}$Rb or $^{23}$Na) we find that the two components contain identical rectangular vortex lattices, where the unit cell has an aspect ratio of $\sqrt{3}$, and one lattice is displaced to the center of the unit cell of the other. Our results are based on an exact evaluation of the vortex lattice energy in the large angular momentum (or quantum Hall) regime.

description: Incorporating information about the target distribution in proposal mechanisms generally produces efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms (or at least, algorithms that are more efficient than uninformed counterparts). For instance, it has proved successful to incorporate gradient information in fixed-dimensional algorithms, as seen with algorithms such as Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. In trans-dimensional algorithms, Green (2003) recommended to sample the parameter proposals during model switches from normal distributions with informative means and covariance matrices. These proposal distributions can be viewed as asymptotic approximations to the parameter distributions, where the limit is with regard to the sample size. Models are typically proposed using uninformed uniform distributions. In this paper, we build on the approach of Zanella (2020) for discrete spaces to incorporate information about neighbouring models. We rely on approximations to posterior model probabilities that are asymptotically exact. We prove that, in some scenarios, the samplers combining this approach with that of Green (2003) behave like ideal ones that use the exact model probabilities and sample from the correct parameter distributions, in the large-sample regime. We show that the implementation of the proposed samplers is straightforward in some cases. The methodology is applied to a real-data example. The code is available online.

description: New information technologies hold a promise of integrating rural businesses and communities more closely with the Nation's urban centers of commerce. But while allowing rural businesses to compete better for urban jobs, those technologies also allow urban businesses to compete better for rural jobs. To take advantage of the new opportunities, rural areas will have to modernize their communications networks, educate their workers, and broaden their outlook.

description: Analysis of large dynamic networks is a thriving research field, typically relying on 2D graph representations. The advent of affordable head mounted displays however, sparked new interest in the potential of 3D visualization for immersive network analytics. Nevertheless, most solutions do not scale well with the number of nodes and edges and rely on conventional fly- or walk-through navigation. In this paper, we present a novel approach for the exploration of large dynamic graphs in virtual reality that interweaves two navigation metaphors: overview exploration and immersive detail analysis. We thereby use the potential of state-of-the-art VR headsets, coupled with a web-based 3D rendering engine that supports heterogeneous input modalities to enable ad-hoc immersive network analytics. We validate our approach through a performance evaluation and a case study with experts analyzing a co-morbidity network.

description: An efficient and reliable transportation system is important to the marketing of U.S. grain since transport costs often account for a significant portion of the grain price in destination markets. Changes in a mode's transportation rate may divert the grain flow and ultimately influence prices in origin and destination markets. The objective of this paper is to explore the impact of transport rates on grain prices using a multi-destination, inter-temporal approach, which can better capture the dynamic influence of transportation rates on grain prices. Corn prices at two major port areas and selected domestic markets are included in the analyses as are barge rates on the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers, rail rates linking selected production regions and domestic markets, and ocean rates linking the export ports to foreign markets. A multivariate time-series analysis and graphical models are employed to analyze monthly prices and transport rate series extending from January 1990 to December 2002. Results show barge and ocean rates influence corn prices in contemporaneous time and, in the longer-run, perturbations in ocean freight rates have the greatest influence on corn prices while shocks in barge rates account for a more modest 12 percent of variation in these prices. The rail rate linking the north central U.S. to the Pacific Northwest port area initially has a modest impact on corn price, however, over an extended time horizon its influence increases to account for about 12 percent of the variation in these prices. Perturbations in all transport rates (barge, rail, and ocean) account for 40-65 percent of the variation in domestic and export corn prices.
Cataclysmic variable evolution and the white dwarf mass problem: A Review

description: Although the theory of cataclysmic variable (CV) evolution is able to explain several observational aspects, strong discrepancies have existed for decades between observations and theoretical predictions of the orbital period distribution, the location of the minimum period, and the space density of CVs. Moreover, it has been shown in the last decade that the average white dwarf (WD) mass observed in CVs is significantly higher than the average mass in single WDs or in detached progenitors of CVs, and that there is an absence of helium-core WDs in CVs which is not observed in their immediate detached progenitors. This highly motivated us to revise the theory of CV formation and evolution. A new empirical model for angular momentum loss in CVs was developed in order to explain the high average WD mass observed and the absence of systems with helium-core WDs. This model seems to help, at the same time, with all of the above mentioned disagreements between theory and observations. Moreover, it also provides us with a very likely explanation for the existence of low-mass WDs without a companion. Here we will review the standard model for CV evolution and the disagreements that have existed for decades between simulations and observations with their possible solutions and/or improvements. We will also summarize the recently confirmed disagreement related to the average WD mass and the fraction of helium-core WDs among CVs, as well as the development of an empirical model that allows us to solve all the disagreements, discussing the physics that could be involved.

description: Connected sum and trivalent vertex sum are natural operations on genus 2 spatial graphs and, as with knots, tunnel number behaves in interesting ways under these operations. We prove sharp Scharlemann-Schultens type bounds for the tunnel number of a composite genus 2 spatial graph. For the tunnel number of a composite Brunnian $θ$-curve, our result implies that the tunnel number is at least the number of summands, as in the knot case. We also prove a version of a theorem of Morimoto for knots: the tunnel number of a composite m-small genus 2 spatial graph is at least the sum of the tunnel numbers of the factors. We also study lower bounds for the bridge number of composite genus 2 graphs. In particular, our results imply that for a Brunnian composite $θ$-curve having $m$ factors in its prime factorization, the bridge number is at least $m+3/2$.

description: Many cluster similarity indices are used to evaluate clustering algorithms, and choosing the best one for a particular task remains an open problem. We demonstrate that this problem is crucial: there are many disagreements among the indices, these disagreements do affect which algorithms are preferred in applications, and this can lead to degraded performance in real-world systems. We propose a theoretical framework to tackle this problem: we develop a list of desirable properties and conduct an extensive theoretical analysis to verify which indices satisfy them. This allows for making an informed choice: given a particular application, one can first select properties that are desirable for the task and then identify indices satisfying these. Our work unifies and considerably extends existing attempts at analyzing cluster similarity indices: we introduce new properties, formalize existing ones, and mathematically prove or disprove each property for an extensive list of validation indices. This broader and more rigorous approach leads to recommendations that considerably differ from how validation indices are currently being chosen by practitioners. Some of the most popular indices are even shown to be dominated by previously overlooked ones.

Following the no hair theorem we examine the mechanism by which self-interacting scalar hair decay. We revealed that the intermediate asymptotic behavior of the considered field perturbations is dominated by an oscillatory inverse power-law decaying tail. The numerical simulations showed that at the very late-time massive self-interacting scalar hair decayed slower than any power law.

description: The full parameter space of the transition from Townsend to glow discharge is investigated numerically in one space dimension in the classical model: with electrons and positive ions drifting in the local electric field, impact ionization by electrons ($α$ process), secondary electron emission from the cathode ($γ$ process) and space charge effects. We also perform a systematic analytical small current expansion about the Townsend limit up to third order in the total current that fits our numerical data very well. Depending on $γ$ and system size pd, the transition from Townsend to glow discharge can show the textbook subcritical behavior, but for smaller values of pd, we also find supercritical or some intermediate ``mixed'' behavior. The analysis in particular lays the basis for understanding the complex spatio-temporal patterns in planar barrier discharge systems.

We present the oscillation spectrum as well as the critical values for the onset of the secular CFS instability of neutron stars, and propose universal relations for gravitational wave asteroseismology, which may help constrain the neutron star radius and/or the nuclear equation of state. The results are relevant for all stages during a neutron star's life but especially to nascent or remnant objects following a binary merger.

We typically trap several times $10^6$ atoms at densities up to $10^{12} cm^{-3}$ and temperatures between 25 and 125 $μK$. Despite of the narrow bandwidth (17.3 kHz) of the cavity, heating due to intra--cavity intensity fluctuations is kept at a low level, such that the time evolution of the temperature is determined by evaporative cooling.

 Mimastra Baly, 1865: 253 (type species: Mimastra arcuata Baly, 1865, by original designation).
 Anthraxantha Fairmaire, 1878 in Deyrolle & Fairmaire, 1878: 137 (type species: Anthraxantha davidis Fairmaire, 1878, by monotypy). Synonymised with Mimastra by Jacoby, 1888: 351.
 Brachita Allard, 1889: 103 (type species: Brachita terminata Allard, 1889, by subsequent designation, see Gressitt & Kimoto, 1963: 535). Synonymised with Mimastra by Allard, 1890: 80.
 Differential diagnosis. Mimastra can be distinguished from other externally similar genera (especially Hoplasoma Jacoby, 1884 and Haplosomoides Duvivier, 1890) by the combination of the following characters: body moderately elongate, parallel-sided or slightly divergent posteriorly, glabrous (but usually with some very fine sparse setae on posterior third of elytra), antennae filiform, pronotum with a transverse median depression, anterior and posterior margins of pronotum bordered, procoxal cavities opened posteriorly, posterior tibiae without apical spurs, claws appendiculate.
 Both Hoplasoma and Haplosomoides share posteriorly opened procoxal cavities with Mimastra, but differs in not having bordered anterior margin of pronotum, and the type of the aedeagus. The males of many species of Hoplasoma and Haplosomoides have appendages on ventrites (never in Mimastra). Moreover, the claws are bifid in Hoplasoma.
 Distribution. Indian subcontinent, China and South-East Asia (southwards to Sumatra, Java, Bali, Borneo and the Philippines).

description: Charge inversion of a DNA double helix by an oppositely charged flexible polyelectrolyte (PE) is widely used for gene delivery. It is considered here in terms of discrete charges of DNA. We concentrate on the worst scenario case when in the neutral state of the DNA-PE complex, each of the DNA charges is locally compensated by a PE charge and show that charge inversion exists even in this case. When an additional PE molecule is adsorbed by DNA, its charge gets fractionalized into monomer charges of defects (tails and arches) on the background of the perfectly neutralized DNA. These charges spread all over the DNA eliminating the self-energy of PE. Fractionalization leads to a substantial charge inversion of DNA. We show that fractionalization mechanism charge inversion works also for nonlinear polymers such as dendrimers. Remarkably, such fractionalization happens for adsorption of both PE or dendrimers on a two-dimensional charged lattice, as well. Relation of fractionalization to other mechanisms of charge inversion is discussed.

description: Labor force analysts predict that as many as 300,000 farmers may leave farming by the turn of the century while many others will take supplemental off-farm jobs to enable them to remain in farming. However, many farmers will have difficulty competing for nonfarm jobs because they are generally older and have less education than others in the local labor force. Another obstacle: Farmers tend to live in areas where employment opportunities are limited and wages are low. Best prospects are in the Northeast.

description: We propose a deep-learning approach based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) to reduce noise in weak lensing mass maps under realistic conditions. We apply image-to-image translation using conditional GANs to the mass map obtained from the first-year data of Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey. We train the conditional GANs by using 25000 mock HSC catalogues that directly incorporate a variety of observational effects. We study the non-Gaussian information in denoised maps using one-point probability distribution functions (PDFs) and also perform matching analysis for positive peaks and massive clusters. An ensemble learning technique with our GANs is successfully applied to reproduce the PDFs of the lensing convergence. About $60\%$ of the peaks in the denoised maps with height greater than $5σ$ have counterparts of massive clusters within a separation of 6 arcmin. We show that PDFs in the denoised maps are not compromised by details of multiplicative biases and photometric redshift distributions, nor by shape measurement errors, and that the PDFs show stronger cosmological dependence compared to the noisy counterpart. We apply our denoising method to a part of the first-year HSC data to show that the observed mass distribution is statistically consistent with the prediction from the standard $Λ$CDM model.

description: To what extent do general features of folding/unfolding kinetics of small globular proteins follow from their thermodynamic properties? To address this question, we investigate a new simplifed protein chain model that embodies a cooperative interplay between local conformational preferences and hydrophobic burial. The present four-helix-bundle 55mer model exhibits proteinlike calorimetric two-state cooperativity. It rationalizes native-state hydrogen exchange observations. Our analysis indicates that a coherent, self-consistent physical account of both the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the model leads naturally to the concept of a native state ensemble that encompasses considerable confomational fluctuations. Such a multiple-conformation native state is seen to involve conformational states similar to those revealed by native-state hydrogen exchange. Many of these conformational states are predicted to lie below native baselines commonly used in interpreting calorimetric data. Folding and unfolding kinetics are studied under a range of intrachain interaction strengths as in experimental chevron plots. Kinetically determined transition midpoints match well with their thermodynamic counterparts. Kinetic relaxations are found to be essentially single exponential over an extended range of model interaction strengths. This includes the entire unfolding regime and a significant part of a folding regime with ...

description: In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election victory in 2016, feminist and online craft communities responded with a call to arms (or needles) aimed at resistance through collective action in thread, yarn, and textiles. One such project, Diana Weymar’s Tiny Pricks Project, records the incessant barrage of Trump’s media coverage: tweets, journalist reportage, and statements in stitched thread. Weymar started Tiny Pricks Project on 8 January 2018, stitching the 45th President’s bluster of a 6 January tweet, “I AM A VERY STABLE GENIUS”, in yellow thread across a field of tapestry flowers. Issuing an invitation for contributions from stitchers around the world, Weymar accrued a vast archive of over 5,000 individual textile works which transform political rhetoric into thread. Although the project has been exhibited in its material form in galleries around the United States (particularly in the lead-up to the 2020 election), its primary display is online, where the textured and tactile objects are imaged and uploaded to Instagram. Drawing on the associations of a medium associated with intimacy and femininity, @tinypricksproject traces Trump’s presidency, rejecting the immediacy of the 24-hour media cycle with careful, time-consuming stitching that bears the imprint of its makers.

description: As the chiral symmetry is widely recognized as an important driver of the strong interaction dynamics, current strange stars models based on MIT bag models do not obey such symmetry. We investigate properties of bare strange stars using the Cloudy Bag Model, in which a pion cloud coupled to the quark-confining bag is introduced such that chiral symmetry is conserved. We find that in this model the decay of pions is a very efficient cooling way. In fact it can carry out most the thermal energy in a few milliseconds and directly convert them into 100MeV photons via pion decay. This may be a very efficient $γ$-ray burst mechanism. Furthermore, the cooling behavior may provide a possible way to distinguish a compact object between a neutron star, MIT strange star and Cloudy Bag strange star in observations.

description: A static Friedmann brane in a 5-dimensional bulk (Randall-Sundrum type scenario) can have a very different relation between the density, pressure, curvature and cosmological constant than in the case of the general relativistic Einstein static universe. In particular, static Friedmann branes with zero cosmological constant and 3-curvature, but satisfying rho>0 and rho+3p>0, are possible. Furthermore, we find static Friedmann branes in a bulk that satisfies the Einstein equations but is not Schwarzschild-anti de Sitter or its specializations. In the models with negative bulk cosmological constant, a positive brane tension leads to negative density and 3-curvature.

description: We discuss how LHC di-muon data collected to study $B_q \to μμ$ can be used to constrain light particles with flavour-violating couplings to $b$-quarks. Focussing on the case of a flavoured QCD axion, $a$, we compute the decay rates for $B_q \to μμa$ and the SM background process $B_q \to μμγ$ near the kinematic endpoint. These rates depend on non-perturbative $B_q \to γ^{(*)}$ form factors with on- or off-shell photons. The off-shell form factors -- relevant for generic searches for beyond-the-SM particles -- are discussed in full generality and computed with QCD sum rules for the first time. With these results, we analyse available LHCb data to obtain the sensitivity on $B_q \to μμa$ at present and future runs. We find that the full LHCb dataset alone will allow to probe axion-coupling scales of the order of $10^6$ GeV for both $b\to d$ and $b \to s$ transitions.

A fully-distributed proximal-point algorithm for Nash equilibrium seeking with linear convergence rate

description: We address the Nash equilibrium problem in a partial-decision information scenario, where each agent can only observe the actions of some neighbors, while its cost possibly depends on the strategies of other agents. Our main contribution is the design of a fully-distributed, single-layer, fixed-step algorithm, based on a proximal best-response augmented with consensus terms. To derive our algorithm, we follow an operator-theoretic approach. First, we recast the Nash equilibrium problem as that of finding a zero of a monotone operator. Then, we demonstrate that the resulting inclusion can be solved in a fully-distributed way via a proximal-point method, thanks to the use of a novel preconditioning matrix. Under strong monotonicity and Lipschitz continuity of the game mapping, We prove linear convergence of our algorithm to a Nash equilibrium. Furthermore, we show that our method outperforms the fastest known gradient-based schemes, both in terms of guaranteed convergence rate, via theoretical analysis, and in practice, via numerical simulations.

description: The Korean shipping industry's vulnerability to economic crises, such as the 2016 bankruptcy of Hanjin Shipping, highlights the need for robust bankruptcy prediction methods, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This research aims to identify key risk factors for predicting bankruptcy in shipping companies from Korean industry by leveraging financial, non-financial, and economic data through advanced machine learning models, including Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. A comprehensive literature review and interviews with industry practitioners were conducted to refine the variables used in the models. These models predict bankruptcy across 1, 3, and 5-year horizons, with Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques employed to interpret the impact of each variable. The findings reveal that non-financial and macroeconomic variables, such as LIBOR interest rates and trade volume growth rates, are significant predictors across all periods. Additionally, the importance of financial ratios, especially those related to profitability, increases with the length of the forecasting period. The research also highlights distinct risk factors between large shipping companies and SMEs, underscoring the need for tailored risk management strategies. This study contributes valuable insights for stakeholders in the shipping market, including policymakers and financial institutions. The identified risk factors enable shipping companies to improve strategic planning and anticipate market cycles more effectively. Policymakers can use these insights to develop regulations that address the unique needs of shipping SMEs. Overall, this research provides a comprehensive understanding of the market dynamics, offering practical implications for managing bankruptcy risk in the shipping industry. Further approach can be held with wider geographical areas to reflect specific regional aspects with much advanced prediction models.
