Mathematical Physics ,Nonlinear Sciences - Pattern Formation and Solitons - Abstract
The propagation of ON-OFF signals with dispersive waves is examined in this study. An integral-form exact solution for a simple ON-OFF switching event is derived, which holds for any dispersion relation. The integral can be exactly calculated for two types of dispersion relations. Further, the analysis of these solutions shows that the ON-OFF signal propagates with the group velocity and that the boundary thickness of the signal increases with time, typically at a rate proportional to the square root of time, owing to dispersion. Additionally, an approximate solution for a general dispersion relation is derived, and a for a higher-complexity ON-OFF switching pattern is constructed., Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures

Condensed Matter - Soft Condensed Matter ,Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
Drop impact events on wet granular bed show rich variety by changing the substrate composition. We observe the drop impact onto dry/wet granular substrates with different grain size (50-400 {\mu}m) and water content (0-22 vol %). Although the impactor condition is fixed (impact velocity: 4.0 m/s, water drop radius: 1.8 mm), the experiment reveals that the post-impact behaviors of both impactor and target are strongly affected by the substrate composition. We sort these behaviors into several phases regarding liquid splashing and crater shapes left after the event. As these phases show relevance each other, we measure the mechanical characteristics of the substrates and find that the onset of splashing and particle ejection are explained by a fracture of the substrate. Furthermore, we discuss several timescales of the event to understand more detailed phase separations. Consequently, we find that the splashing phase and the crater shape are determined by a competition of the timescales of impact, penetration, and contact., Comment: 14 pages, 10 figures

The double Pareto distribution is a heavy-tailed distribution with a power-law tail, that is generated via geometric Brownian motion with an exponentially distributed observation time. In this study, we examine a modified model wherein the exponential distribution of the observation time is replaced with a continuous uniform distribution. The probability density, complementary cumulative distribution, and moments of this model are exactly calculated. Furthermore, the validity of the analytical calculations is discussed in comparison with numerical simulations of stochastic processes., Comment: 13 pages, 7 figures

Physics - Physics and Society - Abstract
In this letter, the size (height and weight) of fictional characters in animations, superhero series, movies, and other media is studied. We find that the distributions of character height and weight approximately follow lognormal distributions in common to five selected works. We propose a mechanism governing this lognormal behavior based on the principle of maximum entropy and the Weber-Fechner law. Moreover, we provide a comparison to the size distributions of real animals. Although the size distributions of fictional characters and real animals are both lognormal, the distributions are essentially different, particularly in the scaling between height and weight., Comment: 6 pages, 4 figures

Physics - Physics and Society - Abstract
In this study, the stochastic properties of player and team ball possession times in professional football matches are examined. Data analysis shows that player possession time follows a gamma distribution and the player count of a team possession event follows a mixture of two geometric distributions. We propose a formula for expressing team possession time in terms of player possession time and player count in a team's possession, verifying its validity through data analysis. Furthermore, we calculate an approximate form of the distribution of team possession time, and study its asymptotic property., Comment: 11 pages, 10 figures

12. Energy dissipation of a sphere rolling up a granular slope: slip and deformation of granular surface

Condensed Matter - Soft Condensed Matter - Abstract
We experimentally investigate the dynamics of a sphere rolling up a granular slope. During the rolling-up motion, the sphere experiences slipping and penetration (groove formation) on the surface of the granular layer. The former relates to the stuck motion of the rolling sphere, and the latter causes energy dissipation due to the deformation of the granular surface. To characterize these phenomena, we measured the motion of a sphere rolling up a granular slope of angle $\alpha$. The initial velocity $v_0$, initial angular velocity $\omega_0$, angle of slope $\alpha$, and density of the sphere $\rho_s$ were varied. As a result, the penetration depth can be scaled solely by the density ratio between the sphere and granular layer. By considering the rotational equation of motion, we estimate the friction due to the slips. Besides, by considering energy conservation, we define and estimate the friction due to groove formation. Moreover, the translational friction is proportional to the penetration depth. Using these results, we can quantitatively predict the sphere's motion including stuck behavior.

Mathematics - Number Theory ,11H06 - Abstract
In this study, we investigate the lattice angle, which is defined as the angle between two vectors whose components are integers. We focus on the set of angles between a fixed integer vector and other integer vectors. For non-three-dimensional lattices, we proved that this set contains all lattice angles, irrespective of the fixed vector choice. In contrast, for the three-dimensional lattice, we proved that this set of angles cannot cover all lattice angles, for any fixed vector. Thus, only the three-dimensional lattice is an exception. We further provide the condition for a given three-dimensional integer vector to intersect another integer vector at a given angle, which involves a number-theoretic property of the squared norm of the given vector and the squared tangent of the given angle., Comment: 13 pages, 1 figure

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
We observed the zig-zag motion of small Leidenfrost water droplets (radii less than 0.6 mm) on a hot, flat substrate. To understand this motion, we conducted an experiment using a glass capillary to fix a droplet at its edge and control the droplet height. Thermographic and interferometric observations reveal that the droplets rotated both vertically and azimuthally. Based on the characteristic frequency of the azimuthal rotation depending on the substrate temperature and droplet height, we developed a semi-empirical model considering unsteady Marangoni convection and its relaxation. We confirmed that our model can predict the characteristic time of the zig-zag motion of unfixed Leidenfrost droplets., Comment: 11 pages, 8 figures

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
Electrowetting has a potential to realize stand-alone point-of-care (POC) devices. Here we report droplet-migration characteristics on oil-infused electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) substrates. We prepare sparse micropillars to retain the oil layer in order to exploit the layer as a lubricating film. A physical model of the droplet velocity is developed, and effects of the lubrication, the oil viscosity, the droplet volume, and the thickness of solid and liquid dielectric layers are discussed. It is found that the droplet velocity is scaled as square of E, which differs from a relationship of cube of E for droplets sliding down on liquid-infused surfaces by gravity. Furthermore, our device achieves droplet velocity of 1 mm/s at the applied voltage of 15 V. The velocity is approximately tenfold as high as the same condition (applied voltage and oil viscosity) on porous-structure-based liquid-infused surfaces. The achieved high velocity is explained by a lubrication-flow effect., Comment: 16 pages, 10 figures

The Horton-Strahler analysis is a graph-theoretic method to measure the bifurcation complexity of branching patterns, by defining a number called the order to each branch. The main result of this paper is a large deviation theorem for the number of branches of each order in a random binary tree. The rate function associated with a large deviation cannot be derived in a closed form; instead, asymptotic forms of the rate function are given., Comment: 12 pages, 3 figures

Meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified more than 240 loci that are associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D)1,2; however, most of these loci have been identified in analyses of individuals with European ancestry. Here, to examine T2D risk in East Asian individuals, we carried out a meta-analysis of GWAS data from 77,418 individuals with T2D and 356,122 healthy control individuals. In the main analysis, we identified 301 distinct association signals at 183 loci, and across T2D association models with and without consideration of body mass index and sex, we identified 61 loci that are newly implicated in predisposition to T2D. Common variants associated with T2D in both East Asian and European populations exhibited strongly correlated effect sizes. Previously undescribed associations include signals in or near GDAP1, PTF1A, SIX3, ALDH2, a microRNA cluster, and genes that affect the differentiation of muscle and adipose cells3. At another locus, expression quantitative trait loci at two overlapping T2D signals affect two genes-NKX6-3 and ANK1-in different tissues4-6. Association studies in diverse populations identify additional loci and elucidate disease-associated genes, biology, and pathways.

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
A novel micromixing technique that exploit a thrust of droplets into the mixing interface is developed. The technique enhances the mixing by injecting immiscible droplets in a mixing channel and the methodology enables a control of the mixing level simply by changing the droplet injection frequency. We experimentally characterize the mixing performance with various droplet injection frequencies, channel geometries, and diffusion coefficients. Consequently, it is revealed that the mixing level increases with the injection frequency, the droplet-diameter-to-channel-width ratio, and the diffusion coefficient. Moreover, the mixing level is found to be a linear function of the droplet volume fraction in the mixing section. The results suggest that the developed technique can produce a large amount of sample solution whose concentration is arbitrary and precisely controllable with a simple and stable operation., Comment: 12 + 3 pages, 6 + 4 figures

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
Deformation of liquid droplets by impingement induces Worthington jet in certain range of the impact velocity. Although the growth of the jet as well as its tip velocity is predicted from similar cases to the droplet impact, the mechanism of the jet generation is yet to be understood. In this study, high-speed visualization of the droplet impact on a superhydrophobic surface was conducted to understand the initiation of the jet generated by a collapse of an air cavity. Water droplets whose diameter are 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm were generated and the Weber number of the droplet was varied in a range of 2 to 20. The jet velocity was measured from the captured images and it was found that it has a peak at the Weber number equals to approximately seven. The resulting jet velocity at the peak was approximately 15 folds higher than the impact velocity. Moreover, we observed that surface waves were generated by a collision of the droplet on the solid and the waves induced an oscillation of the droplet cap as they propagate from the solid-liquid contact line to the top portion of the droplet. Furthermore, we found the phase of the oscillation is related to the Weber number and it influences the jet velocity significantly, as it determines the initial condition of the jet generation., Comment: 8 pages, 4 figures

The Horton-Strahler ordering method, originating in hydrology, formulates the hierarchical structure of branching patterns using a quantity called the bifurcation ratio. The main result of this paper is the central limit theorem for bifurcation ratio of general branch order. This is a generalized form of the central limit theorem for the lowest bifurcation ratio, which was previously proved. Some useful relations are also derived in the proofs of the main theorems., Comment: 14 pages

This paper theoretically analyzes a phenomenological stochastic model for bacterial growth. This model comprises cell division and the linear growth of cells, where growth rates and cell cycles are drawn from lognormal distributions. We find that the cell size is expressed as a sum of independent lognormal variables. We show numerically that the quality of the lognormal approximation greatly depends on the distributions of the growth rate and cell cycle. Furthermore, we show that actual parameters of the growth rate and cell cycle take values that give a good lognormal approximation; thus, the experimental cell-size distribution is in good agreement with a lognormal distribution., Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures

RationaleTherapies that inhibit CETP (cholesteryl ester transfer protein) have failed to demonstrate a reduction in risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). Human DNA sequence variants that truncate the CETP gene may provide insight into the efficacy of CETP inhibition.ObjectiveTo test whether protein-truncating variants (PTVs) at the CETP gene were associated with plasma lipid levels and CHD.Methods and resultsWe sequenced the exons of the CETP gene in 58 469 participants from 12 case-control studies (18 817 CHD cases, 39 652 CHD-free controls). We defined PTV as those that lead to a premature stop, disrupt canonical splice sites, or lead to insertions/deletions that shift frame. We also genotyped 1 Japanese-specific PTV in 27561 participants from 3 case-control studies (14 286 CHD cases, 13 275 CHD-free controls). We tested association of CETP PTV carrier status with both plasma lipids and CHD. Among 58 469 participants with CETP gene-sequencing data available, average age was 51.5 years and 43% were women; 1 in 975 participants carried a PTV at the CETP gene. Compared with noncarriers, carriers of PTV at CETP had higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (effect size, 22.6 mg/dL; 95% confidence interval, 18-27; P

The collective motion of bacterial cells in a shallow circular pool is systematically studied using the bacterial species $Bacillus$ $subtilis$. The ratio of cell length to pool diameter (i.e., the reduced cell length) ranges from 0.06 to 0.43 in our experiments. Bacterial cells in a circular pool show various types of collective motion depending on the cell density in the pool and the reduced cell length. The motion is classified into six types, which we call random motion, turbulent motion, one-way rotational motion, two-way rotational motion, random oscillatory motion, and ordered oscillatory motion. Two critical values of reduced cell lengths are evaluated, at which drastic changes in collective motion are induced. A phase diagram is proposed in which the six phases are arranged., Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures, revised version for publication in J. Phys. Soc. Jpn

Physics - Fluid Dynamics ,Condensed Matter - Soft Condensed Matter - Abstract
Because the superhydrophobic characteristic appears by forming a composite surface consisting of solid and air underneath the droplets, a large number of rough surfaces that can trap air have been fabricated. Recently, the air trapping on materials whose equilibrium contact angles are less than 90 degrees was achieved by fabricating proper structures that lead energetic stability at the condition. Whereas these methods were proposed under the assumption of the static and equilibrium conditions, we take a dynamic and non-equilibrium approach in this study through droplet deposition and droplet impact experiments. By employing test surfaces that consist of commercially available stainless steel razor blades, we show the pinning effect brings the apparent water contact angle of approximately 160 degrees on a "hydrophilic" substrate. We call this state the "non-equilibrium Cassie state" and give theoretical explanations. Furthermore, the dynamic characteristics of the droplet impact on these surfaces are discussed in a range of moderate Weber numbers., Comment: 17 pages, 10 figures

Physics - Fluid Dynamics - Abstract
Coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscope system was built and applied to a non-intrusive gas concentration measurement of a mixing flow in a millimeter-scale channel. Carbon dioxide and nitrogen were chosen as test fluids and CARS signals from the fluids were generated by adjusting the wavelengths of the Pump and the Stokes beams. The generated CARS signals, whose wavelengths are different from those of the Pump and the Stokes beams, were captured by an EM-CCD camera after filtering out the excitation beams. A calibration experiment was performed in order to confirm the applicability of the built-up CARS system by measuring the intensity of the CARS signal from known concentrations of the samples. After confirming that the measured CARS intensity was proportional to the second power of the concentrations as was theoretically predicted, the CARS intensities in the gas mixing flow channel were measured. Ten different measurement points were set and concentrations of both carbon dioxide and nitrogen at each point were obtained. Consequently, it was observed that the mixing of two fluids progressed as the measurement point moved downstream. The results show the applicability of CARS to the non-intrusive concentration measurement of gas flows without any preprocess such as gas absorption into liquid or solid., Comment: 16 pages, 8 figures

We propose a simple stochastic model describing the position-dependent ball-passing network in football games. In this network, a player on a certain area in the divided fields is a node, and a pass between two nodes corresponds to an edge. Our model is characterized by the consecutive choice of a node dependent on its intrinsic fitness. We derive the explicit expression of the degree distribution, and find that the derived distribution reproduces the real data quit well., Comment: 20 pages, 7 figures
