On the harmonic Boltzmannian waves in laser-plasma interaction
We study the permanent regimes of the reduced Vlasov-Maxwell system for
laser-plasma interaction. A non-relativistic and two different relativistic
models are investigated. We prove the existence of solutions where the
distribution function is Boltzmannian and the electromagnetic variables are
time-harmonic and circularly polarized
Difference system for Selberg correlation integrals
The Selberg correlation integrals are averages of the products
with respect to the Selberg
density. Our interest is in the case , , when this
corresponds to the -th moment of the corresponding characteristic
polynomial. We give the explicit form of a matrix linear
difference system in the variable which determines the average, and we
give the Gauss decomposition of the corresponding matrix.
For a positive integer the difference system can be used to efficiently
compute the power series defined by this average.Comment: 21 page
Holonomic functions of several complex variables and singularities of anisotropic Ising n-fold integrals
Lattice statistical mechanics, often provides a natural (holonomic) framework
to perform singularity analysis with several complex variables that would, in a
general mathematical framework, be too complex, or could not be defined.
Considering several Picard-Fuchs systems of two-variables "above" Calabi-Yau
ODEs, associated with double hypergeometric series, we show that holonomic
functions are actually a good framework for actually finding the singular
manifolds. We, then, analyse the singular algebraic varieties of the n-fold
integrals , corresponding to the decomposition of the magnetic
susceptibility of the anisotropic square Ising model. We revisit a set of
Nickelian singularities that turns out to be a two-parameter family of elliptic
curves. We then find a first set of non-Nickelian singularities for and , that also turns out to be rational or ellipic
curves. We underline the fact that these singular curves depend on the
anisotropy of the Ising model. We address, from a birational viewpoint, the
emergence of families of elliptic curves, and of Calabi-Yau manifolds on such
problems. We discuss the accumulation of these singular curves for the
non-holonomic anisotropic full susceptibility.Comment: 36 page
Meta-analysis: COVID-19 diagnosis in chest CT�master key for radiologists
Background: COVID-19 was discovered in February in China. Due to the high prevalence of the disease, early detection and rapid isolation of patients are the vital points for controlling the outbreak. The purpose of this study was to determine the correct location of chest CT scan in the diagnosis of COVID-19. Main text: The current study is a systematic review and meta-analysis. 2959 papers were found in all national and international databases. The study has been reported based on the PRISMA checklist. All analyses were done by CMA Ver. 2 software. The statistical analysis results show that the GGO observation level in the available shape was 46 in CT scan results, and the consolidation observation level in the general form was 33 in CT scan results. Pleural effusion was 7, and linear opacity observation level was 24 in CT scan results in the general form. The CT scan test sensitivity level was gained 94.7, and PCR test sensitivity level was achieved as 94.8. This level was 89 in the early stage. Conclusion: The chest CT has about 24 higher diagnostic sensitivity than the PCR test, in the early stage. GGO revealed a declining process and also indicates that GGO is an early symptom of the disease in CT scan. Linear opacity is the reason behind the initial dyspnea in coronavirus suffering patients referring to the medical centers. The extra-pulmonary lesions increase in the last stage of the disease that makes the patient�s worse. © 2021, The Author(s)
Developing a Human Balance Test System (DETES) in Order to Investigate Control Mechanisms of Human Erect Posture
An originally designed 3-dof (2-dof perturbation platform and 1-dof cabin) human balance testing system (DETES) has been developed for delivering mechanical and perceptual stimuli in a controlled embedding environment in order to investigate sensory-motor control of human erect posture at physiological and/or pathological conditions. The human balance (especially studying vestibular system involved mechanisms) demonstrating complex (nonlinear) dynamical behavior in the context of postural adjustments having ecological roots/meanings (information) is to be tested (by means of quiet and perturbed stance) and analyzed for supporting (differential) diagnosis, monitoring/following the progress of the disease, and creating the new adaptive motor learning protocols for rehabilitation
Solving Phase Retrieval with a Learned Reference
Fourier phase retrieval is a classical problem that deals with the recovery
of an image from the amplitude measurements of its Fourier coefficients.
Conventional methods solve this problem via iterative (alternating)
minimization by leveraging some prior knowledge about the structure of the
unknown image. The inherent ambiguities about shift and flip in the Fourier
measurements make this problem especially difficult; and most of the existing
methods use several random restarts with different permutations. In this paper,
we assume that a known (learned) reference is added to the signal before
capturing the Fourier amplitude measurements. Our method is inspired by the
principle of adding a reference signal in holography. To recover the signal, we
implement an iterative phase retrieval method as an unrolled network. Then we
use back propagation to learn the reference that provides us the best
reconstruction for a fixed number of phase retrieval iterations. We performed a
number of simulations on a variety of datasets under different conditions and
found that our proposed method for phase retrieval via unrolled network and
learned reference provides near-perfect recovery at fixed (small) computational
cost. We compared our method with standard Fourier phase retrieval methods and
observed significant performance enhancement using the learned reference.Comment: Accepted to ECCV 2020. Code is available at

Measurements of , , and spectra in Ar+Sc collisions at 13 to 150 GeV/
The NA61/SHINE experiment at the CERN Super Proton Synchrotron studies the
onset of deconfinement in strongly interacting matter through a beam energy
scan of particle production in collisions of nuclei of varied sizes. This paper
presents results on inclusive double-differential spectra, transverse momentum
and rapidity distributions and mean multiplicities of , ,
and produced in Ar+Sc collisions at beam momenta of
13, 19, 30, 40, 75 and 150 GeV/. The analysis uses the 10%
most central collisions, where the observed forward energy defines centrality.
The energy dependence of the / ratios as well as of inverse
slope parameters of the transverse mass distributions are placed in
between those found in inelastic + and central Pb+Pb collisions. The
results obtained here establish a system-size dependence of hadron production
properties that so far cannot be explained either within statistical (SMES,
HRG) or dynamical (EPOS, UrQMD, PHSD, SMASH) models
Measurements of , , , , and production in 120 GeV/ p + C interactions
This paper presents multiplicity measurements of charged hadrons produced in
120 GeV/ proton-carbon interactions. The measurements were made using data
collected at the NA61/SHINE experiment during two different data-taking
periods, with increased phase space coverage in the second configuration due to
the addition of new subdetectors. Particle identification via was
employed to obtain double-differential production multiplicities of ,
, , , and . These measurements are presented as a
function of laboratory momentum in intervals of laboratory polar angle covering
the range from 0 to 450 mrad. They provide crucial inputs for current and
future long-baseline neutrino experiments, where they are used to estimate the
initial neutrino flux
