description: Ground-state properties of layered nickelates are investigated based on the orbital-degenerate Hubbard model coupled with lattice distortions, by using umerical techniques. The Néel state composed of spin S=1 ions is confirmed in the undoped limit x=0. At x=1/2, novel antiferromagnetic states, called CE- and E-type phases, are found by increasing the Hund's coupling. (3 x^2 - r^2 / 3 y^2 - r^2)-type orbital ordering is predicted to occur in a checkerboard-type charge-ordered state. At x=1/3, both Coulombic and phononic interactions are found to be important, since the former stabilizes the spin stripe, while the latter leads to the striped charge-order.

description: Unicapsulocaudum mugilum sp. nov.
Vegetative stages: The species is coelozoic in the gallbladder and many developing spores mixed with fish tissues, forming a lump floating in the bile (see Figure 1a, b). There were about 270 junior developmental-stage spores in a lump, and each spore had no definite tapering tail and horn-like protuberance which are described in the mature spore (see Figure 1a). At this stage, the spores were oval with a single polar capsule inside, and the spore sizes were very different. Compared to the junior stage, in the senior developmental stage the elongated tails could be observed (see Figure 1b).
Mature spores: With characters of the genus. Spores measured 2.9 ± 0.3 (2.0– 3.0) μm in length and 25.4 ± 3.8 (18–29) μm in thickness (n = 15). The polar capsule was 5.2 ± 1.2 (3.0–7.0) μm in length and 2.6 ± 0.3 (2.0–3.0) μm in thickness (n = 15). There was a polar filament with two coils inside the polar capsules (see Figures 1 and 2). The angle formed by the vertical axis of coils and the vertical axis of the spore was about 45° (Figure 2).
 Type and only known host: Mugil cephalus L., 1758.
Type locality: Coastal waters of Xiamen, East China Sea, China.
Site of infection: Gall bladder.
Prevalence: The prevalence of the infection was 3/11 (27.3%).
Deposition of type materials: A syntype (mounted in glycerin-alcohol-formalin) has been deposited in the collection centre of the Key Laboratory of Animal Biology of Chongqing, Chongqing Normal University, Chongqing, China (Coll. No. xm-20070601). The DNA sample has been deposited in the same location, with the code number xm_Um-20070601.
 Etymology: The word mugilum comes from the scientific name of the type-host fish genus.

description: Purpose. Echocardiography assessment from apical five-chamber view (A5CV) is the standard technique for aortic stenosis (AS) grading. Data on non-apical views, such as right parasternal (RPV), subcostal (SCV) and suprasternal notch (SSNV), is scarce and constitutes the aim of our study. Methods. We designed an observational study that included patients with AS recruited prospectively in whom the stenosis was graded by echocardiography from A5CV and non-apical view. The value of non-apical views in up-grading the stenosis severity (primary objective), the prognostic relevance of such reclassification and the feasibility and reproducibility of non-apical views assessment (secondary objectives) was evaluated. Results. Feasibility of AS appraisal from RPV, SCV and SSNV was 78%, 81% and 56%, respectively (SCV vs SSNV, p = .009). AS were up-graded from non-apical views according to peak gradient, mean gradient, area and indexed area by 24%, 17%, 24% and 22%, respectively (p p p Conclusion. Assessment of AS from non-apical views is feasible, reproducible and valuable over A5CV; its use is encouraged.

Box_tree is a Barnes_Hut tree code which has proven effective in modeling systems composed of large numbers of particles. Thermally excited waves in this plasma crystal were numerically simulated and dispersion relations for both the longitudinal and transverse wave modes were found. These were compared with the dispersion relations extrapolated from experiment as well as a theory based on harmonic approximation. The results were found to agree with theoretical dispersion relations under different wave propagation directions with different particle charges and over a range of 0.9

description: In chemical process engineering, surrogate models of complex systems are often necessary for tasks of domain exploration, sensitivity analysis of the design parameters, and optimization. A suite of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations geared toward chemical process equipment modeling has been developed and validated with experimental results from the literature. Various regression-based active learning strategies are explored with these CFD simulators in-the-loop under the constraints of a limited function evaluation budget. Specifically, five different sampling strategies and five regression techniques are compared, considering a set of four test cases of industrial significance and varying complexity. Gaussian process regression was observed to have a consistently good performance for these applications. The present quantitative study outlines the pros and cons of the different available techniques and highlights the best practices for their adoption. The test cases and tools are available with an open-source license to ensure reproducibility and engage the wider research community in contributing to both the CFD models and developing and benchmarking new improved algorithms tailored to this field.

description: We present new ATCA multi-wavelength radio measurements (range 2.1-21.2 GHz) of the early-type magnetic star rho Oph A, performed in March 2019 during 3 different observing sessions. These new ATCA observations evidence a clear rotational modulation of the stellar radio emission and the detection of coherent auroral radio emission from rho Oph A at 2.1 GHz. We collected high-resolution optical spectra of rho Oph A acquired by several instruments over a time span of about ten years. We also report new magnetic field measurements of rho Oph A that, together with the radio light curves and the temporal variation of the equivalent width of the HeI line (lambda=5015 Angstrom), were used to constrain the rotation period and the stellar magnetic field geometry. The above results have been used to model the stellar radio emission, modelling that allowed us to constrain the physical condition of rho Oph A's magnetosphere. Past XMM measurements showed periodic X-ray pulses from rho Oph A. We correlate the X-ray light curve with the magnetic field geometry of rho Oph A. The already published XMM data have been re-analyzed showing that the X-ray spectra of rho Oph A are compatible with the presence of a non-thermal X-ray component. We discuss a scenario where the emission phenomena occurring at the extremes of the electromagnetic spectrum, radio and X-ray, are directly induced by the same plasma process. We interpret the observed X-ray and radio features of rho Oph A as having an auroral origin.

description: T-junction is a pipe configuration used to separate two-phase flow. Normally, when slug flow pass through T-junction, a large amount of liquid being drawn into side arm causing high liquid carryover. This liquid furtherly flow into the equipment and causing the platform to trip. The objective of this project was to determine the separation effectiveness of diverging T-junction using CFD simulation. There were five different diverging T-junction configurations tested which were T1 (0.2,1), T2 (0.5,1), T3(0.8,1), T4 (0.27,0.67), and T5 (0.5,0.67). Each of these T-junction have different combination diameter ratio 1 (DR1) and diameter ratio 2 (DR2). The air and water superficial velocity used were 3.2396 m/s and 1.4 m/s respectively meanwhile the temperature and pressure were set at ambient level, t=298K and P=101.325 Pa. The horizontal length of pipe was set at 6m and vertical length pipe was set at 2.5m total. The diameter of the main arm of pipe was 0.074 m. ANSYS FLUENT was used with VOF and K-epsilon model to simulate slug flow. The result showed that T3 (0.8,1) produced the best phase separation result while T1 (0.2,1) showed the worst result.

description: We study how changes in cross-border energy infrastructure in North America will impact local and national markets. Electricity and natural gas are all transported across the borders of Canada, US, and Mexico. However, future changes in the energy production mix will lead to the further development of these infrastructures, as energy supply and demand cause stress across borders. We use a multimodel approach to investigate what happens to standard output metrics of local energy markets when these infrastructures are changed under different scenarios. These scenarios include increasing the capacity of electricity transmission by 20% and decreasing the cost of transporting natural gas by 20% vis-à-vis the modelers’ reference case starting 2020. We find that electricity transmission across the Canadian-US border increases, with most of the increase in electricity production by natural gas. We also find that natural gas trade increases across the US-Mexico border, with a change in flows of natural gas within the US moving away from the northeast and northwest. While electricity production from renewable energy is expected to increase in the reference scenario, the changes in cross-border energy infrastructure do not significantly impact the generation from renewable energy. The scenarios help identify bottlenecks in the cross-border energy infrastructure, and propose future investment opportunities to decrease overall system costs for producing and consuming energy.

description: Individual supermassive black hole binaries in non-circular orbits are possible nanohertz gravitational wave sources for the rapidly maturing Pulsar Timing Array experiments. We develop an accurate and efficient approach to compute Pulsar Timing Array signals due to gravitational waves from inspiraling supermassive black hole binaries in relativistic eccentric orbits. Our approach employs a Keplerian-type parametric solution to model third post-Newtonian accurate precessing eccentric orbits while a novel semi-analytic prescription is provided to model the effects of quadrupolar order gravitational wave emission. These inputs lead to a semi-analytic prescription to model such signals, induced by non-spinning black hole binaries inspiralling along arbitrary eccentricity orbits. Additionally, we provide a fully analytic prescription to model Pulsar Timing Array signals from black hole binaries inspiraling along moderately eccentric orbits, influenced by Boetzelet al.[Phys. Rev. D 96,044011(2017)]. These approaches are being incorporated into Enterprise and TEMPO2 for searching the presence of such binaries in Pulsar Timing Array datasets.

description: Imaging at hard X-ray energies (~10-600 keV) over very large fields of view (~60 deg per telescope) is required to conduct a high sensitivity all-sky and all-time survey for black holes. The proposed Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) could achieve the high sensitivity required for the mission science objectives by scanning an array of widefield coded aperture telescopes with aperture mask holes radially aligned to minimize auto-collimation by the thick (~7mm) masks required for high energy imaging. Simulation results from a preliminary design study are reported which quantify the improvement in off-axis imaging sensitivity vs. the conventional case with mask holes all perpendicular to the mask. Such masks can be readily constructed from a stacked laminate of thin (1mm) laser-etched W sheets. An even more dramatic increase in coded aperture imaging sensitivity, and dynamic range, for a realistic telescope and imaging detector with typical systematic errors can be achieved by continuously scanning the field of view of the telescope over the source region to be imaged. Simulation results are reported for detectors with systematic errors 1-10%, randomly distributed but unknown in each detector pixel. For the simplified case of a 1-D coded aperture telescope scanning along its pattern, the systematics are removed identically. Results are also presented for the 2-D case with both 1-D and partial 2-D scanning which demonstrate the feasibility of a coded aperture scanning telescope with systematic errors achieving nearly Poisson-limited sensitivity for signal/background ratios S/B ~ 10^-4, in constrast to limits typically ~10- 100X worse that have been actually achieved by pointed or dithered coded aperture telescopes flown (or proposed) previously.

description: Collective action could be the logical route to empowerment for fanners. By working together fanners can, in principle: identify members' needs and consolidate demand; aggregate members' economic power; and address market failures. These capacities would seem to make fanners' organisations the ideal partners in the area of agricultural technology transformation, which can be described as technology development and transfer. This is proven by the strength of "Organised Agriculture in South Africas commercial fanning". Iltis paper draws on research focused on emerging black fanners' organisations in South Africa and their involvement in agricultural technology. This research makes it clear that the key to effective change in the technology development supply system in South Africa, and thus to much needed productivity increases amongst black small fanners, is held by the technology system itself. In the absence of significant support, small fanners' organisations (as currently constituted) can be expected to play a restricted role - if any at all - for they are not yet sufficiently united, powerful or technologically-aware to force the opening of doors on their own initiative. One of the major lessons which must be drawn from this is that broader support to farmers' organisations to build capacity and particularly to develop internal communication mechanisms is likely to have to precede support for particular technology initiatives.

description: We consider an open quantum system, with dissipation applied only to a part of its degrees of freedom, evolving via a quantum Markov dynamics. We demonstrate that, in the Zeno regime of large dissipation, the relaxation of the quantum system towards a pure quantum state is linked to the evolution of a classical Markov process towards a single absorbing state. The rates of the associated classical Markov process are determined by the original quantum dynamics. Extension of this correspondence to absorbing states with internal structure allows us to establish a general criterion for having a Zeno-limit nonequilibrium stationary state of arbitrary finite rank. An application of this criterion is illustrated in the case of an open XXZ spin-1/2 chain dissipatively coupled at its edges to baths with fixed and different polarizations. For this system, we find exact nonequilibrium steady-state solutions of ranks 1 and 2.

description: Broadband low loss and ultra-low crosstalk waveguide crossings are a crucial component for photonic integrated circuits to allow a higher integration density of functional components and an increased flexibility in the layout. We report the design of optimized silicon nitride waveguide crossings based on multimode interferometer structures for intersecting light paths of TE/TE-like, TM/TM-like and TE/TM-like polarized light in the near infrared wavelength region of 790 nm to 890 nm. The crossing design for diverse polarization modes facilitates dual polarization operation on a single chip. For all configurations the loss of a single crossing was measured to be 0.05 dB at 840 nm. Within the 100 nm bandwidth losses stayed below 0.16 dB. The crosstalk was estimated to be on the order of -60 dB by means of 3D finite difference time domain simulations.

description: To test the strong-gravity regime in Randall-Sundrum braneworlds, we consider black holes bound to a brane. In a previous paper, we studied numerical solutions of localized black holes whose horizon radii are smaller than the AdS curvature radius. In this paper, we improve the numerical method and discuss properties of the six dimensional (6D) localized black holes whose horizon radii are larger than the AdS curvature radius. At a horizon temperature $\mathcal{T} \approx 1/2π\ell$, the thermodynamics of the localized black hole undergo a transition with its character changing from a 6D Schwarzschild black hole type to a 6D black string type. The specific heat of the localized black holes is negative, and the entropy is greater than or nearly equal to that of the 6D black strings with the same thermodynamic mass. The large localized black holes show flattened horizon geometries, and the intrinsic curvature of the horizon four-geometry becomes negative near the brane. Our results indicate that the recovery mechanism of lower-dimensional Einstein gravity on the brane works even in the presence of the black holes.

Looming vulnerability and smoking cessation attempts

name: Kaufmann, Amanda

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Introduction: The looming vulnerability model holds that people become anxious when they perceive threats as growing larger and accelerating toward them in space and time. Preliminary research suggested that a guided imagery induction designed to activate a sense that health consequences of smoking are a looming threat led more smokers to attempt to quit. This study tested the effect on quit attempts in a larger sample and examined age, sex, and sensation seeking as moderators. Aims and Methods: Adult smokers (≥10 cigarettes/day) screened for risk of anxiety or mood disorders (N = 278, 52% male; 77% African American) were randomly assigned to receive (1) looming vulnerability or (2) neutral guided imagery exercises. At a 4-week follow-up, they reported quit attempts, smoking rate, self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, and contemplation status. Results: Those in the looming condition (17%) were no more likely than those in the control condition (20%) to make a quit attempt. There were no significant group differences in expectancies, contemplation, or follow-up smoking rate, and no significant moderators. Conclusions: The looming induction was the same one used in earlier work in which it had stronger effects. Those who respond to it with increased urgency about quitting smoking might be offset by others who are more reactant and deny the message. Inconsistencies across studies may reflect differences in inclusion criteria, such that the present sample was on average heavier smokers with longer smoking history and more severe nicotine dependence, yet higher self-efficacy. Implications: An induction designed to activate a sense that the health consequences of smoking constitute a looming vulnerability failed to increase quit attempts or reduce smoking rate among adult daily smokers. Inconsistencies across studies might reflect varying sample characteristics resulting from changes in screening criteria.
Functional renormalization group study of the critical region of the quark-meson model with vector interactions

description: The critical region of the two flavour quark-meson model with vector interactions is explored using the Functional Renormalization Group technique, a non-perturbative method that takes into account quantum and thermal fluctuations. Special attention is given to the low temperature and high density region of the phase diagram, which is very important for the evolution of proto-neutron stars and to construct the equation of state of compact stars. As in previous studies, without repulsive vector interaction, an unphysical region of negative entropy density is found near the first order chiral phase transition. We explore the connection between this unphysical region and the chiral critical region, especially the first order line and spinodal lines, using also different values for vector interactions. The effect of finite vector interactions in the critical region is explored. We find that the unphysical negative entropy density region appears because the $s=0$ isentropic line, near the critical region, is displaced from its $T=0$ location. For certain values of vector interactions this region is pushed to lower temperatures and high chemical potentials in such way that the negative entropy density region on the phase diagram of the model can even disapear. In the case of finite vector interactions, the location of the critical end point has a non-trivial behaviour in the $T-μ_B$ plane, which differs from that in mean-field calculations.

description: In this paper we construct the commutators of the Fedosov * (a generalization of the Moyal star product) on the phase space of S2. It is shown that this product obeys the standard angular momentum commutation relations in ordinary nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The purpose of this paper is three-fold. One is to find an exact, non-perturbative solution to the commutators of the Fedosov *. The other is to verify that these commutation relations correspond to angular momentum commutation relations as in ordinary nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The last is to show a more general computation of the Fedosov *; essentially undeforming Fedosov's algorithm.

description: The AMS-02 experiment measured several secondary-to-primary ratios enabling a detailed study of Galactic cosmic-ray transport. We constrain previously derived benchmark scenarios (based on AMS-02 B/C data only) using other secondary-to-primary ratios, to test the universality of transport and the presence of a low-rigidity diffusion break. We use the 1D thin disc/thick halo propagation model of USINE and a $χ^2$ minimisation accounting for a covariance matrix of errors (AMS-02 systematics) and nuisance parameters (cross-sections and solar modulation uncertainties). The combined analysis of AMS-02 Li/C, Be/C, and B/C strengthens the case for a diffusion slope of $δ=0.50\pm 0.03$ with a low-rigidity break or upturn of the diffusion coefficient at GV rigidities. Our simple model can successfully reproduce all considered data (Li/C, Be/C, B/C, N/O, and 3He/4He), although several issues remain: (i) the quantitative agreement depends on the assumptions made on the not well constrained correlation lengths of AMS-02 data systematics; (ii) combined analyses are very sensitive to production cross sections, and we find post-fit values differing by $\sim5-15\%$ from their most likely values (roughly within currently estimated nuclear uncertainties); (iii) two very distinct regions of the parameter space remain viable, either with reacceleration and convection, or with purely diffusive transport. To take full benefit of combined analyses of AMS-02 data, better nuclear data and a better handle on energy correlations in the data systematic are required. AMS-02 data on heavier species are eagerly awaited to further explore cosmic-ray propagation scenarios.

description: Introduction: The looming vulnerability model holds that people become anxious when they perceive threats as growing larger and accelerating toward them in space and time. Preliminary research suggested that a guided imagery induction designed to activate a sense that health consequences of smoking are a looming threat led more smokers to attempt to quit. This study tested the effect on quit attempts in a larger sample and examined age, sex, and sensation seeking as moderators. Aims and Methods: Adult smokers (≥10 cigarettes/day) screened for risk of anxiety or mood disorders (N = 278, 52% male; 77% African American) were randomly assigned to receive (1) looming vulnerability or (2) neutral guided imagery exercises. At a 4-week follow-up, they reported quit attempts, smoking rate, self-efficacy, outcome expectancies, and contemplation status. Results: Those in the looming condition (17%) were no more likely than those in the control condition (20%) to make a quit attempt. There were no significant group differences in expectancies, contemplation, or follow-up smoking rate, and no significant moderators. Conclusions: The looming induction was the same one used in earlier work in which it had stronger effects. Those who respond to it with increased urgency about quitting smoking might be offset by others who are more reactant and deny the message. Inconsistencies across studies may reflect differences in inclusion criteria, such that the present sample was on average heavier smokers with longer smoking history and more severe nicotine dependence, yet higher self-efficacy. Implications: An induction designed to activate a sense that the health consequences of smoking constitute a looming vulnerability failed to increase quit attempts or reduce smoking rate among adult daily smokers. Inconsistencies across studies might reflect varying sample characteristics resulting from changes in screening criteria.

Direct Urca neutrino rate in colour superconducting quark matter

description: If deconfined quark matter exists inside compact stars, the primary cooling mechanism is neutrino radiation via the direct Urca processes d->u+e+antinu_e and u+e->d+nu_e. Below a critical temperature, T_c, quark matter forms a colour superconductor, one possible manifestation of which is a condensate of quark Cooper pairs in an electric-charge neutralising background of electrons. We compute the neutrino emission rate from such a phase, including charged pair-breaking and recombination effects, and find that on a material temperature domain below T_c the pairing-induced suppression of the neutrino emission rate is not uniformly exponential. If gapless modes are present in the condensed phase, the emissivity at low temperatures is moderately enhanced above that of completely unpaired matter. The importance of charged current pair-breaking processes for neutrino emission both in the fully gapped and partially gapped regimes is emphasised.

description: We revise existing limits on the D-dimensional Planck scale M_D from the nonobservation of microscopic black holes produced by high energy cosmic neutrinos in scenarios with D=4+n large extra dimensions. Previous studies have neglected the energy radiated in gravitational waves by the multipole moments of the incoming shock waves. We include the effects of energy loss, as well as form factors for black hole production and recent null results from cosmic ray detectors. For n>4, we obtain M_D > 1.0 - 1.4 TeV. These bounds are among the most stringent and conservative to date.

description: A typical farm was specified for the Bechuanaland subregion in terms of the physical, financial and operating features of farming in the area. The best method of acquiring the information to specify a typical farming unit is probably to use a combination of the group discussion technique and a postal survey. The typical value of every feature is best described by the median value of the distribution of the data for that feature. The simulation technique was used to determine the effect of inflation, interest rates, debt burden ratio and farm size on the financial results of the typical farm. The analyses indicate that every variable singly, and inflation, interest rates and debt burden ratios in combination, have a significant effect on the cash flow situation of farming in the Bechuanaland subregion. This micro-oriented information can be used beneficially in the policy-making and decision-making process in respect of this region.

Interdependent altruistic preference models

description: Altruistic preferences or the desire to improve the well-being of others even at one’s own expense can be difficult to incorporate into traditional value and utility models. It is straightforward to construct a multiattribute preference structure for one decision maker that includes the outcomes experienced by others. However, when multiple individuals incorporate one another’s well-being into their decision making, this creates complex interdependencies that must be resolved before the preference models can be applied. We provide representation theorems for additive altruistic value functions for two-person, n-person, and group outcomes in which multiple individuals are altruistic. We find that in most cases it is possible to resolve the preference interdependencies and that modeling the preferences of altruistic individuals and groups is tractable.
Comparison of Variance Estimators for Self-Representing Primary Sample Units

description: Many surveys estimate variances with the balance repeated replication (BRR) variance estimator. With the self-representing (SR) Primary Sample Units (PSUs), surveys sometimes split them into parts which are then paired into pseudo strata and then BRR is applied to the pseudo strata. However, there is not much guidance on the number of pseudo strata to split the SR strata into or how (or if) the sort order should be used to split the sample when the sample was selected with systematic random sampling. Our research considered twelve different applications of the BRR variance estimators that varied by the number of pseudo strata formed and by how the sort order of a systematic random sample was used to split the PSU. We also included variations of the delete-a-group jackknife and successive difference replication variance estimators. Using simulations involving data from the Consumer Expenditures Survey, we found that the BRR variance estimator that split the sample of the SR PSUs into the most replicates possible and split the sample using the sort order was the best overall variance estimator for both national-level estimates and individual PSU-level estimates.
