Abstract: We report the first measurement of the azimuthal anisotropy of J$/\psi$ at forward rapidity ($1.2<|\eta|<2.2$) in Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The data were collected by the PHENIX experiment in 2014 and 2016 with integrated luminosity of 14.5~nb$^{-1}$. The second Fourier coefficient ($v_2$) of the azimuthal distribution of $J/\psi$ is determined as a function of the transverse momentum ($p_T$) using the event-plane method. The measurements were performed for several selections of collision centrality: 0\%--50\%, 10\%--60\%, and 10\%-40\%. We find that in all cases the values of $v_2(p_T)$, which quantify the elliptic flow of J$/\psi$, are consistent with zero. The results are consistent with measurements at midrapidity, indicating no significant elliptic flow of the J$/\psi$ within the quark-gluon-plasma medium at collision energies of $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV., Comment: 369 authors from 72 institutions, 12 pages, 7 figures, 5 tables. v1 is version submitted to Physical Review C.

Abstract: The $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ charmonium states, composed of $c\bar{c}$ quark pairs and known since the 1970s, are widely believed to serve as ideal probes to test quantum chromodynamics in high-energy hadronic interactions. However, there is not yet a complete understanding of the charmonium-production mechanism. Recent measurements of $J/\psi$ production as a function of event charged-particle multiplicity at the collision energies of both the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) show enhanced $J/\psi$ production yields with increasing multiplicity. One potential explanation for this type of dependence is multiparton interactions (MPI). We carry out the first measurements of self-normalized $J/\psi$ yields and the $\psi(2S)$ to $J/\psi$ ratio at both forward and backward rapidities as a function of self-normalized charged-particle multiplicity in $p$$+$$p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV. In addition, detailed {\sc pythia} studies tuned to RHIC energies were performed to investigate the MPI impacts. We find that the PHENIX data at RHIC are consistent with recent LHC measurements and can only be described by {\sc pythia} calculations that include MPI effects. The forward and backward $\psi(2S)$ to $J/\psi$ ratio, which serves as a unique and powerful approach to study final-state effects on charmonium production, is found to be less dependent on the charged-particle multiplicity., Comment: 301 authors from 69 institutions, 8 pages, 3 figures. v1 is version submitted to Physical Review D Letters.

Abstract: High-momentum two-particle correlations are a useful tool for studying jet-quenching effects in the quark-gluon plasma. Angular correlations between neutral-pion triggers and charged hadrons with transverse momenta in the range 4--12~GeV/$c$ and 0.5--7~GeV/$c$, respectively, have been measured by the PHENIX experiment in 2014 for Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$~GeV. Suppression is observed in the yield of high-momentum jet fragments opposite the trigger particle, which indicates jet suppression stemming from in-medium partonic energy loss, while enhancement is observed for low-momentum particles. The ratio and differences between the yield in Au$+$Au collisions and $p$$+$$p$ collisions, $I_{AA}$ and $\Delta_{AA}$, as a function of the trigger-hadron azimuthal separation, $\Delta\phi$, are measured for the first time at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These results better quantify how the yield of low-$p_T$ associated hadrons is enhanced at wide angle, which is crucial for studying energy loss as well as medium-response effects., Comment: 535 authors from 84 institutions, 12 pages, 8 figures. v2 is version accepted for publication in Physical Review C.

7. Metric Convolutions: A Unifying Theory to Adaptive Convolutions

Author: Dagès, Thomas, Lindenbaum, Michael, and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, Mathematics - Differential Geometry
Abstract: Standard convolutions are prevalent in image processing and deep learning, but their fixed kernel design limits adaptability. Several deformation strategies of the reference kernel grid have been proposed. Yet, they lack a unified theoretical framework. By returning to a metric perspective for images, now seen as two-dimensional manifolds equipped with notions of local and geodesic distances, either symmetric (Riemannian metrics) or not (Finsler metrics), we provide a unifying principle: the kernel positions are samples of unit balls of implicit metrics. With this new perspective, we also propose metric convolutions, a novel approach that samples unit balls from explicit signal-dependent metrics, providing interpretable operators with geometric regularisation. This framework, compatible with gradient-based optimisation, can directly replace existing convolutions applied to either input images or deep features of neural networks. Metric convolutions typically require fewer parameters and provide better generalisation. Our approach shows competitive performance in standard denoising and classification tasks.

8. Distributed and Decentralized Control and Task Allocation for Flexible Swarms

Author: Koifman, Yigal, Barel, Ariel, and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Multiagent Systems
Abstract: This paper introduces a novel bio-mimetic approach for distributed control of robotic swarms, inspired by the collective behaviors of swarms in nature such as schools of fish and flocks of birds. The agents are assumed to have limited sensory perception, lack memory, be Identical, anonymous, and operate without interagent explicit communication. Despite these limitations, we demonstrate that collaborative exploration and task allocation can be executed by applying simple local rules of interactions between the agents. A comprehensive model comprised of agent, formation, and swarm layers is proposed in this paper, where each layer performs a specific function in shaping the swarm's collective behavior, thereby contributing to the emergence of the anticipated behaviors. We consider four principles combined in the design of the distributed control process: Cohesiveness, Flexibility, Attraction-Repulsion, and Peristaltic Motion. We design the control algorithms as reactive behaviour that enables the swarm to maintain connectivity, adapt to dynamic environments, spread out and cover a region with a size determined by the number of agents, and respond to various local task requirements. We explore some simple broadcast control-based steering methods, that result in inducing "anonymous ad-hoc leaders" among the agents, capable of guiding the swarm towards yet unexplored regions with further tasks. Our analysis is complemented by simulations, validating the efficacy of our algorithms. The experiments with various scenarios showcase the swarm`s capability to self-organize and perform tasks effectively under the proposed framework. The possible implementations include domains that necessitate emergent coordination and control in multi-agent systems, without the need for advanced individual abilities or direct communication., Comment: 9 pages, 10 figures

9. Time, Travel, and Energy in the Uniform Dispersion Problem

Author: Amir, Michael and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Robotics, Computer Science - Discrete Mathematics, Computer Science - Multiagent Systems, 68T40, I.2.9
Abstract: We investigate the algorithmic problem of uniformly dispersing a swarm of robots in an unknown, gridlike environment. In this setting, our goal is to comprehensively study the relationships between performance metrics and robot capabilities. We introduce a formal model comparing dispersion algorithms based on makespan, traveled distance, energy consumption, sensing, communication, and memory. Using this framework, we classify several uniform dispersion algorithms according to their capability requirements and performance. We prove that while makespan and travel can be minimized in all environments, energy cannot, as long as the swarm's sensing range is bounded. In contrast, we show that energy can be minimized even by simple, ``ant-like" robots in synchronous settings and asymptotically minimized in asynchronous settings, provided the environment is topologically simply connected. Our findings offer insights into fundamental limitations that arise when designing swarm robotics systems for exploring unknown environments, highlighting the impact of environment's topology on the feasibility of energy-efficient dispersion., Comment: Includes and expands results from "Minimizing Travel in the Uniform Dispersal Problem for Robotic Sensors" (AAMAS 2019, arXiv:1903.03259)

Abstract: The PHENIX experiment has performed a systematic study of identified charged-hadron ($\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, $p$, $\bar{p}$) production at midrapidity in $p$$+$Al, $^3$He$+$Au, Cu$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV and U$+$U collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=193$ GeV. Identified charged-hadron invariant transverse-momentum ($p_T$) and transverse-mass ($m_T$) spectra are presented and interpreted in terms of radially expanding thermalized systems. The particle ratios of $K/\pi$ and $p/\pi$ have been measured in different centrality ranges of large (Cu$+$Au, U$+$U) and small ($p$$+$Al, $^3$He$+$Au) collision systems. The values of $K/\pi$ ratios measured in all considered collision systems were found to be consistent with those measured in $p$$+$$p$ collisions. However the values of $p/\pi$ ratios measured in large collision systems reach the values of $\approx0.6$, which is $\approx2$ times larger than in $p$$+$$p$ collisions. These results can be qualitatively understood in terms of the baryon enhancement expected from hadronization by recombination. Identified charged-hadron nuclear-modification factors ($R_{AB}$) are also presented. Enhancement of proton $R_{AB}$ values over meson $R_{AB}$ values was observed in central $^3$He$+$Au, Cu$+$Au, and U$+$U collisions. The proton $R_{AB}$ values measured in $p$$+$Al collision system were found to be consistent with $R_{AB}$ values of $\phi$, $\pi^\pm$, $K^\pm$, and $\pi^0$ mesons, which may indicate that the size of the system produced in $p$$+$Al collisions is too small for recombination to cause a noticeable increase in proton production., Comment: 480 authors from 78 institutions, 18 pages, 6 tables, 16 figures. v2 is version accepted for publication in Physical Review C.

Abstract: This work addresses the challenge of patrolling regular grid graphs of any dimension using a single mobile agent with minimal memory and limited sensing range. We show that it is impossible to patrol some grid graphs with $0$ bits of memory, regardless of sensing range, and give an exact characterization of those grid graphs that can be patrolled with $0$ bits of memory and sensing range $V$. On the other hand, we show that an algorithm exists using $1$ bit of memory and $V=1$ that patrols any $d$-dimensional grid graph. This result is surprising given that the agent must be able to move in $2d$ distinct directions to patrol, while $1$ bit of memory allows specifying only two directions per sensory input. Our $1$-bit patrolling algorithm handles this by carefully exploiting a small state-space to access all the needed directions while avoiding getting stuck. Overall, our results give concrete evidence that extremely little memory is needed for patrolling highly regular environments like grid graphs compared to arbitrary graphs. The techniques we use, such as partitioning the environment into sensing regions and exploiting distinct coordinates resulting from higher-dimensionality, may be applicable to analyzing the space complexity of patrolling in other types of regular environments as well.

Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to support time-critical stroke treatment. In a previous study we demonstrated the feasibility of deep learning based automatic classification for thrombus detection during thrombectomies, a catheter-guided procedure to remove occlusions of cerebral vessels. However, this method has yet to be tested during a live intervention. In this work, we present a setup to integrate AI based support in an angiography suite. A classification PC was connected to the angiography by means of a real-time video connection as well as a research interface for control signals. We found that video conversion in real-time does not affect the classification result in comparison to offline classification of DICOM data. Analyzing 50 video streams of previous cases, the system could classify digital-subtraction angiography (DSA) sequences within 13.3 seconds on average. This processing time can further be reduced to an average of 7.9 seconds with GPU acceleration. Additionally, the system successfully classified two DSA sequences acquired during live thrombectomy, identifying the presence of thrombi in less than 5 seconds. So far, the classification result has only been displayed in the control room of the angiography suite to demonstrate feasibility. In the outlook, however, we also discuss how the result can be displayed directly on the angiography screen.

Subjects: Physics - Medical Physics, Computer Science - Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition
Abstract: In the event of stroke, a catheter-guided procedure (thrombectomy) is used to remove blood clots. Feasibility of machine learning based automatic classifications for thrombus detection on digital substraction angiography (DSA) sequences has been demonstrated. It was however not used live in the clinic, yet. We present an open-source tool for automatic thrombus classification and test it on three selected clinical cases regarding functionality and classification runtime. With our trained model all large vessel occlusions in the M1 segment were correctly classified. One small remaining M3 thrombus was not detected. Runtime was in the range from 1 to 10 seconds depending on the used hardware. We conclude that our open-source software tool enables clinical staff to classify DSA sequences in (close to) realtime and can be used for further studies in clinics., Comment: This is the preprint version of the BVM paper accepted for publication in the conference proceedings of "Bildverarbeitung in der Medizin 2023"

18. Exploration of unknown indoor regions by a swarm of energy-constrained drones

Author: Rappel, Ori, Ben-Asher, Joseph Z., and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Multiagent Systems
Abstract: Several distributed algorithms are presented for the exploration of unknown indoor regions by a swarm of flying, energy constrained agents. The agents, which are identical, autonomous, anonymous and oblivious, uniformly cover the region and thus explore it using predefined action rules based on locally sensed information and the energy level of the agents. While flying drones have many advantages in search and rescue scenarios, their main drawback is a high power consumption during flight combined with limited, on-board energy. Furthermore, in these scenarios agent size is severely limited and consequently so are the total weight and capabilities of the agents. The region is modeled as a connected sub-set of a regular grid composed of square cells that the agents enter, over time, via entry points. Some of the agents may settle in unoccupied cells as the exploration progresses. Settled agents conserve energy and become virtual pheromones for the exploration and coverage process, beacons that subsequently aid the remaining, and still exploring, mobile agents. The termination of the coverage process is based on a backward propagating information diffusion scheme. Various algorithmical alternatives are discussed and upper bounds derived and compared to experimental results. Finally, an optimal entry rate that minimizes the total energy consumption is derived for the case of a linear regions., Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2209.05512

19. Spiral Sweeping Search for Smart Evaders

Author: Francos, Roee M. and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Multiagent Systems
Abstract: Consider a given planar circular region, in which there is an unknown number of smart mobile evaders. We wish to detect evaders using a line formation of sweeping agents whose total sensing length is predetermined. We propose procedures for designing spiral sweeping protocols that ensure the successful completion of the task, thus deriving conditions on the sweeping speed of the linear formation and its path. Successful completion of the task implies that evaders with a given limit on their speed cannot escape the sweeping agents. A simpler task for the sweeping formation is the confinement of evaders to a desired region, such as their original domain. The feasibility of completing these tasks depends on geometric and dynamic constraints that impose a lower bound on the speed that the sweeping agents must have. This critical speed is derived to ensure the satisfaction of the confinement task. Increasing the speed above the lower bound enables the sweepers to complete the search task as well. We develop two spiral line formation search processes for smart evaders, that address current limitations in search against smart evaders. Additionally, we present a quantitative and qualitative comparison analysis between the total search time of circular line formation sweep processes and spiral line formation processes. We evaluate the different strategies by using two metrics, total search time and the minimal critical speed required for a successful search.

20. Guaranteed Evader Detection in Multi-Agent Search Tasks using Pincer Trajectories

Author: Francos, Roee M. and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Multiagent Systems
Abstract: Assume that inside an initial planar area there are smart mobile evaders attempting to avoid detection by a team of sweeping searching agents. All sweepers detect evaders with fan-shaped sensors, modeling the field of view of real cameras. Detection of all evaders is guaranteed with cooperative sweeping strategies, by setting requirements on sweepers' speed, and by carefully designing their trajectories. Assume the smart evaders have an upper limit on their speed which is a-priori known to the sweeping team. An easier task for the team of sweepers is to confine evaders to the domain in which they are initially located. The sweepers accomplish the confinement task if they move sufficiently fast and detect evaders by applying an appropriate search strategy. Any given search strategy results in a minimal sweeper's speed in order to be able to detect all evaders. The minimal speed guarantees the ability of the sweeping team to confine evaders to their original domain, and if the sweepers move faster they are able to detect all evaders that are present in the region. We present results on the total search time for a novel pincer-movement based search protocol that utilizes complementary trajectories along with adaptive sensor geometries for any even number of pursuers.

Abstract: PHENIX presents a simultaneous measurement of the production of direct $\gamma$ and $\pi^0$ in $d$$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV over a $p_T$ range of 7.5 to 18 GeV/$c$ for different event samples selected by event activity, i.e. charged-particle multiplicity detected at forward rapidity. Direct-photon yields are used to empirically estimate the contribution of hard-scattering processes in the different event samples. Using this estimate, the average nuclear-modification factor $R_{d\rm Au,EXP}^{\gamma^{\rm dir}}$ is $0.925{\pm}0.023({\rm stat}){\pm}0.15^{\rm (scale)}$, consistent with unity for minimum-bias (MB) $d$$+$Au events. For event classes with moderate event activity, $R_{d\rm Au,EXP}^{\gamma^{\rm dir}}$ is consistent with the MB value within 5\% uncertainty. These results confirm that the previously observed enhancement of high-$p_T$ $\pi^0$ production found in small-system collisions with low event activity is a result of a bias in interpreting event activity within the Glauber framework. In contrast, for the top 5\% of events with the highest event activity, $R_{d\rm Au,EXP}^{\gamma^{\rm dir}}$ is suppressed by 20\% relative to the MB value with a significance of $4.5\sigma$, which may be due to final-state effects., Comment: 279 authors from 69 institutions, 8 pages, 3 figures, v2 is version accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters.

22. A model is worth tens of thousands of examples

Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence, Electrical Engineering and Systems Science - Signal Processing
Abstract: Traditional signal processing methods relying on mathematical data generation models have been cast aside in favour of deep neural networks, which require vast amounts of data. Since the theoretical sample complexity is nearly impossible to evaluate, these amounts of examples are usually estimated with crude rules of thumb. However, these rules only suggest when the networks should work, but do not relate to the traditional methods. In particular, an interesting question is: how much data is required for neural networks to be on par or outperform, if possible, the traditional model-based methods? In this work, we empirically investigate this question in two simple examples, where the data is generated according to precisely defined mathematical models, and where well-understood optimal or state-of-the-art mathematical data-agnostic solutions are known. A first problem is deconvolving one-dimensional Gaussian signals and a second one is estimating a circle's radius and location in random grayscale images of disks. By training various networks, either naive custom designed or well-established ones, with various amounts of training data, we find that networks require tens of thousands of examples in comparison to the traditional methods, whether the networks are trained from scratch or even with transfer-learning or finetuning.

Abstract: Reported here are transverse single-spin asymmetries ($A_{N}$) in the production of charged hadrons as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) and Feynman-$x$ ($x_F$) in polarized $p^{\uparrow}$+$p$, $p^{\uparrow}$+Al, and $p^{\uparrow}$+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. The measurements have been performed at forward and backward rapidity ($1.4<|\eta|<2.4$) over the range of $1.50$) in $p^{\uparrow}$+$p$ collisions, whereas the $p^{\uparrow}$+Al and $p^{\uparrow}$+Au results show smaller asymmetries. This finding provides new opportunities to investigate the origin of transverse single-spin asymmetries and a tool to study nuclear effects in $p$+$A$ collisions., Comment: 322 authors from 70 institutions, 13 pages, 9 figures, 13 tables, one appendix, 2015 data. v2 is version accepted for publication in Phys.

Abstract: Presented are the first measurements of the transverse single-spin asymmetries ($A_N$) for neutral pions and eta mesons in $p$+Au and $p$+Al collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV in the pseudorapidity range $|\eta|<$0.35 with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. The asymmetries are consistent with zero, similar to those for midrapidity neutral pions and eta mesons produced in $p$+$p$ collisions. These measurements show no evidence of additional effects that could potentially arise from the more complex partonic environment present in proton-nucleus collisions., Comment: 322 authors from 70 institutions, 8 pages, 2 figures, 1 table, 2015 data. v2 is version accepted for publication in Phys.

25. From Compass and Ruler to Convolution and Nonlinearity: On the Surprising Difficulty of Understanding a Simple CNN Solving a Simple Geometric Estimation Task

Author: Dagès, Thomas, Lindenbaum, Michael, and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Machine Learning, Computer Science - Artificial Intelligence
Abstract: Neural networks are omnipresent, but remain poorly understood. Their increasing complexity and use in critical systems raises the important challenge to full interpretability. We propose to address a simple well-posed learning problem: estimating the radius of a centred pulse in a one-dimensional signal or of a centred disk in two-dimensional images using a simple convolutional neural network. Surprisingly, understanding what trained networks have learned is difficult and, to some extent, counter-intuitive. However, an in-depth theoretical analysis in the one-dimensional case allows us to comprehend constraints due to the chosen architecture, the role of each filter and of the nonlinear activation function, and every single value taken by the weights of the model. Two fundamental concepts of neural networks arise: the importance of invariance and of the shape of the nonlinear activation functions.

26. Defense Against Smart Invaders with Swarms of Sweeping Agents

Author: Francos, Roee M. and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Multiagent Systems
Abstract: The goal of this research is to devise guaranteed defense policies that allow to protect a given region from the entrance of smart mobile invaders by detecting them using a team of defending agents equipped with identical line sensors. By designing cooperative defense strategies that ensure all invaders are detected, conditions on the defenders' speed are derived. Successful accomplishment of the defense task implies invaders with a known limit on their speed cannot slip past the defenders and enter the guarded region undetected. The desired outcome of the defense protocols is to defend the area and additionally to expand it as much as possible. Expansion becomes possible if the defenders' speed exceeds a critical speed that is necessary to only defend the initial region. We present results on the total search time, critical speeds and maximal expansion possible for two types of novel pincer-movement defense processes, circular and spiral, for any even number of defenders. The proposed spiral process allows to detect invaders at nearly the lowest theoretically optimal speed, and if this speed is exceeded, it also allows to expand the protected region almost to the maximal area., Comment: 18 pages, 21 figures

27. Multi-Agent Distributed and Decentralized Geometric Task Allocation

Author: Amir, Michael, Koifman, Yigal, Bloch, Yakov, Barel, Ariel, and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Multiagent Systems, Mathematics - Dynamical Systems, 68W15
Abstract: We consider the general problem of geometric task allocation, wherein a large, decentralised swarm of simple mobile agents must detect the locations of tasks in the plane and position themselves nearby. The tasks are represented by an a priori unknown demand profile $\Phi(x,y)$ that determines how many agents are needed in each location. The agents are autonomous, oblivious and indistinguishable, and have finite sensing range. They must configure themselves according to $\Phi$ using only local information about $\Phi$ and about the positions of nearby agents. All agents act according to the same local sensing-based rule of motion, and cannot explicitly communicate nor share information. We propose an optimization-based approach to the problem which results in attraction-repulsion dynamics. Repulsion encourages agents to spread out and explore the region so as to find the tasks, and attraction causes them to accumulate at task locations. We derive this approach via gradient descent over an appropriate ``error'' functional, and test it extensively through numerical simulations.

28. Dodecamer assembly of a metazoan AAA+ chaperone couples substrate extraction to refolding

Abstract: Ring-forming AAA+ chaperones solubilize protein aggregates and protect organisms from proteostatic stress. In metazoans, the AAA+ chaperone Skd3 in the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) is critical for human health and efficiently refolds aggregated proteins, but its underlying mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we show that Skd3 harbors both disaggregase and protein refolding activities enabled by distinct assembly states. High-resolution structures of Skd3 hexamers in distinct conformations capture ratchet-like motions that mediate substrate extraction. Unlike previously described disaggregases, Skd3 hexamers further assemble into dodecameric cages in which solubilized substrate proteins can attain near-native states. Skd3 mutants defective in dodecamer assembly retain disaggregase activity but are impaired in client refolding, linking the disaggregase and refolding activities to the hexameric and dodecameric states of Skd3, respectively. We suggest that Skd3 is a combined disaggregase and foldase, and this property is particularly suited to meet the complex proteostatic demands in the mitochondrial IMS.

Abstract: PERIOD (PER) and Casein Kinase 1δ regulate circadian rhythms through a phosphoswitch that controls PER stability and repressive activity in the molecular clock. CK1δ phosphorylation of the familial advanced sleep phase (FASP) serine cluster embedded within the Casein Kinase 1 binding domain (CK1BD) of mammalian PER1/2 inhibits its activity on phosphodegrons to stabilize PER and extend circadian period. Here, we show that the phosphorylated FASP region (pFASP) of PER2 directly interacts with and inhibits CK1δ. Co-crystal structures in conjunction with molecular dynamics simulations reveal how pFASP phosphoserines dock into conserved anion binding sites near the active site of CK1δ. Limiting phosphorylation of the FASP serine cluster reduces product inhibition, decreasing PER2 stability and shortening circadian period in human cells. We found that Drosophila PER also regulates CK1δ via feedback inhibition through the phosphorylated PER-Short domain, revealing a conserved mechanism by which PER phosphorylation near the CK1BD regulates CK1 kinase activity.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to produce camel milk yoghurt with desired qualities using optimized processing conditions (fermentation time) and ingredients (stabilizer and calcium chloride). The conditions were obtained through Response Surface Methodology (RSM) by lactic acid fermentation by inoculating the milk with Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. Bulgaricus (YF-L903, CHR Hansen, Denmark. The study also determined the effects of fermentation time and ingredients on the quality of yoghurt. Fermentation time ranged from 2 to 22 h while stabilizer (corn starch) and calcium chloride (salt) ranges were 1.65–3.34 and 0.061–1.23 % respectively. The quality was monitored hourly for a fermentation period of 2–22 h by determining pH, total titritable acidity (TTA) and viscosity. Results indicated that viscosity was influenced by fermentation time, stabilizer and calcium chloride. The viscosity was increased from 0.01 to 0.4 and 0.01 to 0.3 by fermentation time, 0.01 to 0.2 and 0.01 to 0.3 by stabilizer and 0.01 to 0.5 and 0.01 to 0.6 Pa s by calcium chloride. Whereas the combined effects of calcium chloride and stabilizer increased the viscosity of yoghurt to 0.94 Pa s. Prolonged fermentation time, led to an increase in TTA and a decrease in pH. The finding from this study indicated that the optimal conditions required to produce camel milk yoghurt with desired qualities are a fermentation time of 10 h using 2.33 and 0.60 % corn starch and calcium chloride respectively. Under these conditions the produced camel milk yoghurt quality properties were a pH of 4.07, 0.32 % TTA and a viscosity of 0.35 Pa s.

Author: Rappel, Ori, Amir, Michael, and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Multiagent Systems, Computer Science - Discrete Mathematics, 68W15
Abstract: We present algorithms for uniformly covering an unknown indoor region with a swarm of simple, anonymous and autonomous mobile agents. The exploration of such regions is made difficult by the lack of a common global reference frame, severe degradation of radio-frequency communication, and numerous ground obstacles. We propose addressing these challenges by using airborne agents, such as Micro Air Vehicles, in dual capacity, both as mobile explorers and (once they land) as beacons that help other agents navigate the region. The algorithms we propose are designed for a swarm of simple, identical, ant-like agents with local sensing capabilities. The agents enter the region, which is discretized as a graph, over time from one or more entry points and are tasked with occupying all of its vertices. Unlike many works in this area, we consider the requirement of informing an outside operator with limited information that the coverage mission is complete. Even with this additional requirement we show, both through simulations and mathematical proofs, that the dual role concept results in linear-time termination, while also besting many well-known algorithms in the literature in terms of energy use., Comment: to appear in the proceedings of AAMAS2023 ("International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems 2023")

Abstract: We study a combinatorial problem inspired by the following scenario: fully autonomous vehicles drive on a multi-lane ($m \geq 2$) road. Each vehicle heads to its own destination and is allowed to exit the road only through a single designated off-ramp lane. However, an individual vehicle has a severely limited memory and sensing capabilities, and, moreover, does not communicate with its peers. In this work we present a distributed algorithm that, nonetheless, allows vehicles to get to the desired lane without collisions and in timely manner.

Subjects: Nuclear Experiment
Abstract: The PHENIX experiment reports systematic measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider of $\phi$-meson production in asymmetric Cu$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$=200 GeV and in U$+$U collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}$=193 GeV. Measurements were performed via the $\phi\rightarrow K^{+}K^{-}$ decay channel at midrapidity $|\eta|<0.35$. Features of $\phi$-meson production measured in Cu$+$Cu, Cu$+$Au, Au$+$Au, and U$+$U collisions were found to not depend on the collision geometry, which was expected because the yields are averaged over the azimuthal angle and follow the expected scaling with nuclear-overlap size. The elliptic flow of the $\phi$ meson in Cu$+$Au, Au$+$Au, and U$+$U collisions scales with second-order-participant eccentricity and the length scale of the nuclear-overlap region (estimated with the number of participating nucleons). At moderate $p_T$, $\phi$-meson production measured in Cu$+$Au and U$+$U collisions is consistent with coalescence-model predictions, whereas at high $p_T$ the production is in agreement with expectations for in-medium energy loss of parent partons prior to their fragmentation. The elliptic flow for $\phi$ mesons measured in Cu$+$Au and U$+$U collisions is well described by a (2+1)D viscous-hydrodynamic model with specific-shear viscosity $\eta/s=1/4\pi$., Comment: 412 authors from 76 institutions, 16 pages, 12 figures, 9 tables, 2012 data. v2 is version accepted for publication by Physical Review C.

Abstract: Polarized proton-proton collisions provide leading-order access to gluons, presenting an opportunity to constrain gluon spin-momentum correlations within transversely polarized protons and enhance our understanding of the three-dimensional structure of the proton. Midrapidity open-heavy-flavor production at $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV is dominated by gluon-gluon fusion, providing heightened sensitivity to gluon dynamics relative to other production channels. Transverse single-spin asymmetries of positrons and electrons from heavy-flavor hadron decays are measured at midrapidity using the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. These charge-separated measurements are sensitive to gluon correlators that can in principle be related to gluon orbital angular momentum via model calculations. Explicit constraints on gluon correlators are extracted for two separate models, one of which had not been constrained previously., Comment: 324 authors from 70 institutions, 11 pages, 5 figures, 3 tables, 2015 data. v2 is version accepted for publication in PRD.

Abstract: The measurement of the direct-photon spectrum from Au$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV is presented by the PHENIX collaboration using the external-photon-conversion technique for 0\%--93\% central collisions in a transverse-momentum ($p_T$) range of 0.8--10 GeV/$c$. An excess of direct photons, above prompt-photon production from hard-scattering processes, is observed for $p_T<6$ GeV/$c$. Nonprompt direct photons are measured by subtracting the prompt component, which is estimated as $N_{\rm coll}$-scaled direct photons from $p$$+$$p$ collisions at 200 GeV, from the direct-photon spectrum. Results are obtained for $0.8

Abstract: Recently, the PHENIX Collaboration has published second- and third-harmonic Fourier coefficients $v_2$ and $v_3$ for midrapidity ($|\eta|<0.35$) charged hadrons in 0\%--5\% central $p$$+$Au, $d$$+$Au, and $^3$He$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV utilizing three sets of two-particle correlations for two detector combinations with different pseudorapidity acceptance [Phys. Rev. C {\bf 105}, 024901 (2022)]. This paper extends these measurements of $v_2$ to all centralities in $p$$+$Au, $d$$+$Au, and $^3$He$+$Au collisions, as well as $p$$+$$p$ collisions, as a function of transverse momentum ($p_T$) and event multiplicity. The kinematic dependence of $v_2$ is quantified as the ratio $R$ of $v_2$ between the two detector combinations as a function of event multiplicity for $0.5$$<$$p_T$$<$$1$ and $2$$<$$p_T$$<$$2.5$ GeV/$c$. A multiphase-transport (AMPT) model can reproduce the observed $v_2$ in most-central to midcentral $d$$+$Au and $^3$He$+$Au collisions. However, the AMPT model systematically overestimates the measurements in $p$$+$$p$, $p$$+$Au, and peripheral $d$$+$Au and $^3$He$+$Au collisions, indicating a higher nonflow contribution in AMPT than in the experimental data. The AMPT model fails to describe the observed $R$ for $0.5$$<$$p_T$$<$$1$ GeV/$c$, but there is qualitative agreement with the measurements for $2$$<$$p_T$$<$$2.5$ GeV/$c$., Comment: 393 authors from 72 institutions, 14 pages, 10 figures, 2014, 2015, and 2016 data. v2 is version accepted for publication in Physical Review C.

Abstract: Small nuclear collisions are mainly sensitive to cold-nuclear-matter effects; however, the collective behavior observed in these collisions shows a hint of hot-nuclear-matter effects. The identified-particle spectra, especially the $\phi$ mesons which contain strange and antistrange quarks and have a relatively small hadronic-interaction cross section, are a good tool to study these effects. The PHENIX experiment has measured $\phi$ mesons in a specific set of small collision systems $p$$+$Al, $p$$+$Au, and $^3$He$+$Au, as well as $d$$+$Au [Phys. Rev. C {\bf 83}, 024909 (2011)], at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. The transverse-momentum spectra and nuclear-modification factors are presented and compared to theoretical-model predictions. The comparisons with different calculations suggest that quark-gluon plasma may be formed in these small collision systems at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. However, the volume and the lifetime of the produced medium may be insufficient for observing strangeness-enhancement and jet-quenching effects. Comparison with calculations suggests that the main production mechanisms of $\phi$ mesons at midrapidity may be different in $p$$+$Al versus $p/d/$$^3$He$+$Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. While thermal quark recombination seems to dominate in $p/d/$$^3$He$+$Au collisions, fragmentation seems to be the main production mechanism in $p$$+$Al collisions., Comment: 371 authors from 72 institutions, 13 pages, 7 figures, 7 tables, 2014 and 2015 data. v2 is version accepted for publication Physical Review C.

Abstract: We present measurements of the cross section and double-helicity asymmetry $A_{LL}$ of direct-photon production in $\vec{p}+\vec{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=510$ GeV. The measurements have been performed at midrapidity ($|\eta|<0.25$) with the PHENIX detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. At relativistic energies, direct photons are dominantly produced from the initial quark-gluon hard scattering and do not interact via the strong force at leading order. Therefore, at $\sqrt{s}=510$ GeV, where leading-order-effects dominate, these measurements provide clean and direct access to the gluon helicity in the polarized proton in the gluon-momentum-fraction range $0.02

Abstract: Suppression of the $J/\psi$ nuclear-modification factor has been seen as a trademark signature of final-state effects in large collision systems for decades. In small systems, the nuclear modification was attributed to cold-nuclear-matter effects until the observation of strong differential suppression of the $\psi(2S)$ state in $p/d$$+$$A$ collisions suggested the presence of final-state effects. Results of $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ measurements in the dimuon decay channel are presented here for $p$$+$$p$, $p$$+$Al, and $p$$+$Au collision systems at $\sqrt{s_{_{NN}}}=200$ GeV. The results are predominantly shown in the form of the nuclear-modification factor, $R_{pA}$, the ratio of the $\psi(2S)$ invariant yield per nucleon-nucleon collision in collisions of proton on target nucleus to that in $p$$+$$p$ collisions. Measurements of the $J/\psi$ and $\psi(2S)$ nuclear-modification factor are compared with shadowing and transport-model predictions, as well as to complementary measurements at Large-Hadron-Collider energies., Comment: 315 authors from 69 institutions, 16 pages, 9 figures, 4 tables, 2015 data. v2 is version accepted for publication in Physical Review C.

Abstract: The AAA+ family member KaiC is the central pacemaker for circadian rhythms in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus elongatus. Composed of two hexameric rings of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) domains with tightly coupled activities, KaiC undergoes a cycle of autophosphorylation and autodephosphorylation on its C-terminal (CII) domain that restricts binding of clock proteins on its N-terminal (CI) domain to the evening. Here, we use cryogenic-electron microscopy to investigate how daytime and nighttime states of CII regulate KaiB binding on CI. We find that the CII hexamer is destabilized during the day but takes on a rigidified C2-symmetric state at night, concomitant with ring-ring compression. Residues at the CI-CII interface are required for phospho-dependent KaiB association, coupling ATPase activity on CI to cooperative KaiB recruitment. Together, these studies clarify a key step in the regulation of cyanobacterial circadian rhythms by KaiC phosphorylation.

Abstract: In 2015, the PHENIX collaboration has measured single-spin asymmetries for charged pions in transversely polarized proton-proton collisions at the center of mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=200$ GeV. The pions were detected at central rapidities of $|\eta|<0.35$. The single-spin asymmetries are consistent with zero for each charge individually, as well as consistent with the previously published neutral-pion asymmetries in the same rapidity range. However, they show a slight indication of charge-dependent differences which may suggest a flavor dependence in the underlying mechanisms that create these asymmetries., Comment: 311 authors from 68 institutions, 8 pages, 3 figures, 1 table. 2015 data. v2 is version accepted for publication in Physical Review D.

50. Optimal Physical Sorting of Mobile Agents

Author: Rabinovich, Dmitry, Amir, Michael, and Bruckstein, Alfred M.
Subjects: Computer Science - Discrete Mathematics, 68R01
Abstract: Given a collection of red and blue mobile agents located on two grid rows, we seek to move all the blue agents to the far left side and all the red agents to the far right side, thus \textit{physically sorting} them according to color. The agents all start on the bottom row. They move simultaneously at discrete time steps and must not collide. Our goal is to design a centralized algorithm that controls the agents so as to sort them in the least number of time steps. We derive an \textbf{exact} lower bound on the amount of time any algorithm requires to sort a given initial configuration of agents. We find an instance optimal algorithm that provably matches this lower bound, attaining the best possible sorting time for any initial configuration. Surprisingly, we find that whenever the leftmost agent is red and the rightmost agent is blue, a straightforward decentralized and local sensing-based algorithm is at most $1$ time step slower than the centralized instance-optimal algorithm.
