Abstract
We present spectral and timing properties of the newly discovered X-ray transient source, MAXI J1535-571, which is believed to be a Galactic X-ray binary containing a black hole candidate (BHC) as the primary object. Since its discovery on 2017 September 2, it has been monitored regularly in multi-wavelength bands by several satellites. We use archival data of the Swift (XRT and BAT) and MAXI (GSC) satellite instruments to study accretion flow dynamics of the source during the outburst. During its outburst, the source became very bright in the sky with a maximum observed flux of 5 Crab in the 2–10 keV GSC band. Similar to other transient BHCs, it also shows signatures of low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) during the outburst. Spectral data of different instruments are fitted with the transonic flow, solution-based two-component advective flow model fits file to find the direct accretion flow parameters. The evolution of spectral states and their transitions are understood from the model-fitted physical flow parameters and nature of QPOs. We also estimate the probable mass of the black hole from our spectral analysis as 7.9–9.9 M
⊙ or 8.9 ± 1.0 M
⊙.
SPIRE Spectroscopy of Early-type Galaxies
Authors: Lapham Ryen Carl , Young Lisa M. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
We present Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE) spectroscopy for nine early-type galaxies (ETGs) representing the most CO-rich and far-infrared (FIR) bright galaxies of the volume-limited Atlas3D sample. Our data include detections of mid- to high-J CO transitions (J = 4–3 to J = 13–12) and the [C i] (1–0) and (2–1) emission lines. CO spectral line energy distributions (SLEDs) for our ETGs indicate low gas excitation, barring NGC 1266. We use the [C i] emission lines to determine the excitation temperature of the neutral gas, as well as estimate the mass of molecular hydrogen. The masses agree well with masses derived from CO, making this technique very promising for high-redshift galaxies. We do not find a trend between the [N ii] 205 flux and the infrared luminosity, but we do find that the [N ii] 205/CO(6–5) line ratio is correlated with the 60/100 μm Infrared Astronomical Satellite colors. Thus the [N ii] 205/CO(6–5) ratio can be used to infer a dust temperature and hence the intensity of the interstellar radiation field. Photodissociation region models show that use of [C i] and CO lines in addition to the typical [C ii], [O i], and FIR fluxes drive the model solutions to higher densities and lower values of G
0. In short, the SPIRE lines indicate that the atomic and molecular gas in the CO-rich ETGs have similar properties to other galaxies. As might be expected from their low levels of star formation activity, the ETGs have rather low excitation CO SLEDs, low temperatures inferred from the [C i] lines, and modestly lower [C i]/CO ratios.

Abstract
In this paper, we analyze stellar proper motions in the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae to explore the possibility of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) influence on the stellar dynamics. Our use of short-wavelength photometry affords us an exceedingly clear view of stellar motions into the very center of the crowded core, yielding proper motions for >50,000 stars in the central 2′. We model the velocity dispersion profile of the cluster using an isotropic Jeans model. The density distribution is taken as a central IMBH point mass added to a combination of King templates. We individually model the general low-mass cluster objects (main sequence/giant stars), as well as the concentrated populations of heavy binary systems and dark stellar remnants. Using unbinned likelihood model fitting, we find that the inclusion of the concentrated populations in our model plays a crucial role in fitting for an IMBH mass. The concentrated binaries and stellar-mass black holes (BHs) produce a sufficient velocity dispersion signal in the core so as to make an IMBH unnecessary to fit the observations. We additionally determine that a stellar-mass BH retention fraction of ≳8.5% becomes incompatible with our observed velocities in the core.
Nur77 Links Chronic Antigen Stimulation to B Cell Tolerance by Restricting the Survival of Self-Reactive B Cells in the Periphery

AbstractNur77 (Nr4a1) belongs to a small family of orphan nuclear receptors that are rapidly induced by BCR stimulation, yet little is known about its function in B cells. We have previously characterized a reporter of Nr4a1 transcription, Nur77-eGFP, in which GFP expression faithfully detects Ag encounter by B cells in vitro and in vivo. In this study, we report that Nur77 expression correlates with the degree of self-reactivity, counterselection, and anergy among individual B cell clones from two distinct BCR transgenic mouse models but is dispensable for all of these tolerance mechanisms. However, we identify a role for Nur77 in restraining survival of self-reactive B cells in the periphery under conditions of competition for a limited supply of the survival factor BAFF. We find that Nur77 deficiency results in the progressive accumulation of self-reactive B cells in the mature repertoire with age and is sufficient to break B cell tolerance in VH3H9 H chain transgenic mice. We thus propose that Nur77 is upregulated in self-reactive B cells in response to chronic Ag stimulation and selectively restricts the survival of these cells, gradually pruning self-reactivity from the mature repertoire to impose a novel layer of peripheral B cell tolerance.
Effectiveness of employer branding on staff retention and compensation expectations
Authors: Bussin Mark , Mouton Hugo 
Published: April 2019

Background: In a highly competitive, economically strained business environment it is essential for a business to balance the necessity of attracting and retaining top-performing employees and containing costs. Employee branding is a management tool that can serve to retain staff and reduce compensation levels.Aim: This study investigated the effects of employee branding on staff retention and compensation expectations.Setting: Five South African insurers participated in this research.Methods: Analysis of variance and correlational tests were used to test various hypotheses.Results: The analysis indicated that increased perceptions of employer branding relate to staff with greater reports of retention and lower levels of compensation expectations. Interestingly, demographic factors were not significant in the analysis, although trends were found in potential age differences and total years at an employer.Conclusion: Practically, the research provides a model to execute a successful employer branding strategy. The employer branding control cycle was developed to assist organisations to successfully execute an employer branding strategy. This model considers the design, implementation and monitoring phases of such a strategy.
Comparison of Biomechanical Effects of Different Configurations of Kirschner Wires on the Epiphyseal Plate and Stability in a Salter-Harris Type 2 Distal Femoral Fracture Model
Authors: Inal Sermet , Gok Kadir , Gok Arif , Pinar Ahmet Murat , Inal Canan 
Published: April 2019

Background:
We sought to investigate the different configurations of Kirschner wires used in distal femur Salter-Harris (SH) type 2 epiphyseal fracture for stabilization after reduction under axial, rotational, and bending forces and to define the biomechanical effects on the epiphyseal plate and the fracture line and decide which was more advantageous.

Methods:
The SH type 2 fracture was modeled using design software for four different configurations: cross, cross-parallel, parallel medial, and parallel lateral with two Kirschner wires, and computer-aided numerical analyses of the different configurations after reduction were performed using the finite element method. For each configuration, the mesh process, loading condition (axial, bending, and rotational), boundary conditions, and material models were applied in finite element software, and growth cartilage and von Mises stress values occurring around the Kirschner wire groove were calculated.

Results:
In growth cartilage, the stresses were highest in the parallel lateral configuration and lowest in the cross configuration. In Kirschner wires, the stresses were highest in the cross configuration and lowest in the cross-parallel and parallel lateral configurations. In the groove between the growth cartilage and the Kirschner wire interface, the stresses were highest in the parallel lateral configuration and lowest in the cross configuration.

Conclusions:
The results showed that the cross configuration is advantageous in fixation. In addition, in the SH type 2 epiphyseal fracture, we believe that the fixation shape should not be applied in the lateral configuration.
Natural variation in C. elegans arsenic toxicity is explained by differences in branched chain amino acid metabolism

Published: April 2019

We find that variation in the dbt-1 gene underlies natural differences in Caenorhabditis elegans responses to the toxin arsenic. This gene encodes the E2 subunit of the branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex, a core component of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) metabolism. We causally linked a non-synonymous variant in the conserved lipoyl domain of DBT-1 to differential arsenic responses. Using targeted metabolomics and chemical supplementation, we demonstrate that differences in responses to arsenic are caused by variation in iso-branched chain fatty acids. Additionally, we show that levels of branched chain fatty acids in human cells are perturbed by arsenic treatment. This finding has broad implications for arsenic toxicity and for arsenic-focused chemotherapeutics across human populations. Our study implicates the BCKDH complex and BCAA metabolism in arsenic responses, demonstrating the power of C. elegans natural genetic diversity to identify novel mechanisms by which environmental toxins affect organismal physiology.Editorial note: This article has been through an editorial process in which the authors decide how to respond to the issues raised during peer review.

Abstract
We report ∼2.8 μm emission of Er3+-doped Lu3Ga5O12 crystal, as well as its laser performance. The continuous-wave (CW) and passively Q-switched lasers were both obtained for the first time at room temperature under 967 nm laser diode end pumping. A 384 mW of CW output power was obtained under the absorbed pump power of 3.28 W, corresponding to an optical-to-optical efficiency of 11.7%; the slope efficiency was 14.1%. A passively Q-switched laser with a maximum average output power of 274 mW was also achieved by utilizing a Bi2Te3/graphene heterostructure saturable absorber (SA). The shortest Q-switched pulse duration and the repetition rate were 340 ns and 135 kHz, respectively.

Published: April 2019

AbstractThis article reports on an experiment designed to test whether the cartoon manipulation leads to significant increases in aggressive thoughts and aggressive behaviors among Chinese children (n = 3,000). Results indicated that brief exposure to a violent cartoon triggered higher aggressive thoughts and aggressive behaviors than a nonviolent cartoon. Females displayed higher aggressive thoughts and aggressive behaviors than males in a nonviolent cartoon condition, while males displayed higher aggressive behaviors than females in a violent cartoon condition. Mediation analysis suggested that the effect on aggressive behaviors was mediated by aggressive thoughts. The findings imply that cartoon developers, parents, and teachers should develop cartoons that inhibit children's aggressive thoughts to avoid aggressive behaviors. Females are the key group for the prevention and intervention of aggression in a nonviolent cartoon context, while males are the key group for the prevention and intervention of aggression in a violent cartoon context.
Materials Discovery of Stable and Nontoxic Halide Perovskite Materials for High‐Efficiency Solar Cells
Authors: Jacobs Ryan , Luo Guangfu , Morgan Dane 
Published: April 2019

AbstractTwo critical limitations of organic–inorganic lead halide perovskite materials for solar cells are their poor stability in humid environments and inclusion of toxic lead. In this study, high‐throughput density functional theory (DFT) methods are used to computationally model and screen 1845 halide perovskites in search of new materials without these limitations that are promising for solar cell applications. This study focuses on finding materials that are comprised of nontoxic elements, stable in a humid operating environment, and have an optimal bandgap for one of single junction, tandem Si‐perovskite, or quantum dot–based solar cells. Single junction materials are also screened on predicted single junction photovoltaic (PV) efficiencies exceeding 22.7%, which is the current highest reported PV efficiency for halide perovskites. Generally, these methods qualitatively reproduce the properties of known promising nontoxic halide perovskites that are either experimentally evaluated or predicted from theory. From a set of 1845 materials, 15 materials pass all screening criteria for single junction cell applications, 13 of which are not previously investigated, such as (CH3NH3)0.75Cs0.25SnI3, ((NH2)2CH)Ag0.5Sb0.5Br3, CsMn0.875Fe0.125I3, ((CH3)2NH2)Ag0.5Bi0.5I3, and ((NH2)2CH)0.5Rb0.5SnI3. These materials, together with others predicted in this study, may be promising candidate materials for stable, highly efficient, and nontoxic perovskite‐based solar cells.
3D‐Architected Soft Machines with Topologically Encoded Motion

Published: April 2019

AbstractThe limited range of mechanical responses achievable by materials compatible with additive manufacturing hinders the 3D printing of continuum soft robots with programmed motion. This paper describes the rapid design and fabrication of low‐density, 3D‐architected soft machines (ASMs) by combining Voronoi tessellation and additive manufacturing. On tendon‐based actuation, ASMs deform according to the topologically encoded buckling of their structure to produce a wide range of motions (contraction, twisting, bending, and cyclic motion). ASMs exhibiting densities as low as 0.094 g cm−3 (≈8% of bulk polymer) can be rapidly built by the stereolithographic 3D printing of flexible photopolymers or the injection molding of elastomers. The buckling of ASMs can be programmed by inducing gradients in the thickness of their flexible beams or by the localized enlargement of the Voronoi cells to generate complex motions such as multi‐finger gripping or quadrupedal locomotion. The topological architecture of these low‐density soft robots confers them with the stiffness necessary to recover their original shape even after ultrahigh compression (400%) and extension (500%). ASMs expand the range of mechanical properties currently achievable by 3D printed or molded materials to enable the fabrication of soft machines with auxetic mechanical metamaterial properties.

Published: April 2019

AbstractGaTe is an important III–VI semiconductor with direct bandgap; thus, it holds great potential in the field of optoelectronics. Although it is known that GaTe can exist both in monoclinic and hexagonal phases, current studies are still exclusively restricted to the monoclinic phase of two dimensional (2D) GaTe owing to the difficulty in the fabrication of 2D hexagonal GaTe. Both monoclinic and hexagonal GaTe are demonstrated in this work, which can be selectively synthesized via a physical vapor deposition method, under precisely controlled growth temperatures. The pristine Raman and non‐linear optical properties of hexagonal GaTe has been systematically explored for the first time; moreover, a novel selected‐area phase transition from hexagonal to monoclinic of GeTe has been achieved via fs‐laser irradiation. This work may pave the way for widely use of 2D GaTe in various fields in future.
