description: The present work theoretically investigates the probability of generation of entangled electron-photon pair in high-energy Compton scattering of unpolarized electrons and photons due to scattering-channel-exchange mechanism. The study suggests that the scattering of unpolarized electrons and photons with nearly equal energy of the order of MeV at cross-channel can create entangled pair of up-spin electron and RCP photon or down-spin electron and LCP photon. The entanglement is quite strong exhibiting jump-concurrence for particular directions of scattering however not limited by the Kapitza-Dirac restriction. Such strong electron-photon entanglement is observed to be highly selective along the directions of scattering on the surface of two opposite cones at 45 degree around the electron-detector axis and on the plane perpendicular to it, the latter one exhibiting maximal entanglement. The work predicts that spin-polarization entangled electron-photon pairs are highly possible to be found in practical experiments of high-energy Compton scattering with specific directional selectivity.

description: The Chinese leadership in November 2013 determined to embark upon a new wave of comprehensive reforms in China. This is clearly reflected by the key decision of the Third Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of Communist Party of China to assign the market a decisive role in allocating resources. To have the market to play that role, getting the energy prices right is crucial because it sends clear signals to both producers and consumers of energy. While the overall trend of China’s energy pricing reform since 1984 has been moving away from the pricing completely set by the central government in the centrally planned economy towards a more market-oriented pricing mechanism, the pace and scale of the reform differ across energy types. This paper discusses the evolution of price reforms for coal, petroleum products, natural gas and electricity in China, provides some analysis of these energy price reforms, and suggests few areas of reforms could take place in order to have the market to play a decisive role in allocating resources and to help China’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

description: General expressions are given for the generation of Primordial Black Holes (PBH) in a universe with a presently accelerated expansion due to a(n effective) cosmological constant. We give expressions both for a powerlaw scalefree primordial spectrum and for spectra which are not of that type. Specializing to the case of a pure cosmological constant $Λ$ and assuming flatness, we show that a comological constant with $Ω_{Λ,0}=0.7$ will decrease the mass variance at the PBH formation time by about 15% compared with a critical density universe.

description: The goal of this work is to investigate the possibility of improving current gamma/hadron discrimination based on their shower patterns recorded on the ground. To this end we propose the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for their ability to distinguish patterns based on automatically designed features. In order to promote the creation of CNNs that properly uncover the hidden patterns in the data, and at same time avoid the burden of hand-crafting the topology and learning hyper-parameters we resort to NeuroEvolution; in particular we use Fast-DENSER++, a variant of Deep Evolutionary Network Structured Representation. The results show that the best CNN generated by Fast-DENSER++ improves by a factor of 2 when compared with the results reported by classic statistical approaches. Additionally, we experiment ensembling the 10 best generated CNNs, one from each of the evolutionary runs; the ensemble leads to an improvement by a factor of 2.3. These results show that it is possible to improve the gamma/hadron discrimination based on CNNs that are automatically generated and are trained with instances of the ground impact patterns.

description: This paper examines the effects of combining an international cap-and-trade scheme with national carbon taxes. We consider a two-country stochastic partial equilibrium model with log-normally distributed uncertainty. The situation is analogous to the situation where European countries impose national carbon taxes in addition to the EU emissions trading. The allowance price in the joint cap-and-trade scheme depends on the tax rate, the relative size of countries and abatement options, the magnitude of uncertainty, and correlation of abatement costs. In most cases, the additional tax will not lead to additional production of the public good beyond the fixed targets. The additional tax results in higher costs of abatement to the country introducing the additional tax, and higher costs overall.

 Discussion. This species is characterised by its scalate spire, the incised canaliculate suture and sculpture. This comprises very broad and raised spiral cords, which form high and thin ledges between the even broader axial ribs. The rectangular interspaces between the spiral and axial ribs are extraordinarily deep and lack any secondary sculpture elements.
 Cahuzac et al. (2009) emphasize the similarities between Scalptia neugeboreni and the Burdigalian Scalptia burdigalensis (Peyrot, 1928) from France, indirectly suggesting a placement of this species in Scalptia. The overall shape, the presence of three columellar folds, the parietal denticle and the moderately wide umbilicus support this allocation. This similarity with S. burdigalensis is only superficial as S. burdigalensis differs considerably in its bulbous shell, short spire and distinctly less scalate whorls. Moreover, secondary spiral ribs appear in the interspaces between the prominent primary cords, whereas S. neugeboreni lacks any secondary threads. This absence of secondary spiral sculpture, the much wider umbilicus and the higher spire distinguish S. neugeboreni also clearly from the superficially similar S. polonica (Pusch, 1837).
 Distribution. A very rare species which is only known from the Badenian of the Paratethys.

description: We consider the traveling salesman problem when the cities are points in R^d for some fixed d and distances are computed according to geometric distances, determined by some norm. We show that for any polyhedral norm, the problem of finding a tour of maximum length can be solved in polynomial time. If arithmetic operations are assumed to take unit time, our algorithms run in time O(n^{f-2} log n), where f is the number of facets of the polyhedron determining the polyhedral norm. Thus for example we have O(n^2 log n) algorithms for the cases of points in the plane under the Rectilinear and Sup norms. This is in contrast to the fact that finding a minimum length tour in each case is NP-hard. Our approach can be extended to the more general case of quasi-norms with not necessarily symmetric unit ball, where we get a complexity of O(n^{2f-2} log n). For the special case of two-dimensional metrics with f=4 (which includes the Rectilinear and Sup norms), we present a simple algorithm with O(n) running time. The algorithm does not use any indirect addressing, so its running time remains valid even in comparison based models in which sorting requires Omega(n \log n) time. The basic mechanism of the algorithm provides some intuition on why polyhedral norms allow fast algorithms. Complementing the results on simplicity for polyhedral norms, we prove that for the case of Euclidean distances in R^d for d>2, the Maximum TSP is NP-hard. This sheds new light on the well-studied difficulties of Euclidean distances.

description: Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a commonly used antibiotic for both human and animals. The frequent detection of SMX in natural water bodies and sediment has become an issue of great environmental concern due to its potential risk to induce antibiotic resistance in pathogenic bacteria. In the present work, the catalytic wet peroxide oxidation (CWPO) was investigated to remove SMX with sludge-derived carbon (SC) as a cheap alternative catalyst. Different acids were used to modify SC. It was found that SC modified with sulphuric acid (SC-H2SO4) demonstrated the best catalytic activity. The removal efficiency of SMX and TOC was 97.7% and 65.7%, respectively, after 260 min, at pH 5 with a dosage of 220 mg/L H2O2. The effects of temperature, initial pH and H2O2 dosage were also investigated. The study demonstrated that the increase of temperature could significantly improve the degradation of SMX from 10.0% at 20°C to 94.7% at 60°C.

description: Various structures are visible within Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Exoplanet REsearch instrument (SPHERE) images that are not always straightforward to interpret. In this article we present a review of these features and demonstrate their origin using simulations. We also identify which expected or unexpected features are limiting the contrast reached by the instrument and how they may be tackled. This vision paves the way to designing a future upgrade of the SPHERE instrument and the next generation of high-contrast instruments such as those planned for the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT).

description: In this paper, we study the thermodynamics and geothermodynamics of spherical black hole solutions in dRGT massive gravity in a new extended phase space. Inspired by the work of Kastor et al. [1], by interpreting the graviton mass as a thermodynamical variable, we propose a first law of thermodynamics which include a mass term and establish a new Smarr Formula. Then, we perform a thermodynamical analysis to reveal the existence of a critical behavior for black holes in dRGT massive gravity with two different critical points through canonical and grand canonical ensembles. To consolidate these results, we make use of the thermodynamical geometry formalism, with the HPEM and the Gibbs free energy metrics, to derive the singularities of Ricci scalar curvatures and show that they coincide with those of the capacities. The effect of different values of the spacetime parameters on the stability conditions is also discussed.

description: We develop a new set of models for intermediate-metallicity single stellar populations in the blue/optical region and use those models to determine the spectroscopic age of 47 Tuc. The models are based on a moderately high-resolution (1.8 A FWHM) empirical spectral library, state-of-the-art theoretical isochrones from M. Salaris and the most recent set from the Padova group, and new semi-empirical calibrations between fundamental stellar parameters and observables. We highlight the importance of correctly modeling the luminosity function (LF) of the cluster at the level of the giant branch, in order to achieve a good reproduction of the integrated spectrum; agreement between the spectroscopic age and the age based on the cluster's color-magnitude diagram (CMD) is achieved only if the observed LF is used rather than the theoretical ones, which either do not include AGB stars (Salaris) or underpredict the total number counts of bright giants in the cluster by a factor of two(Padova). After all corrections are made, the CMD and the spectroscopic ages (from Hgamma and Hbeta) are in close agreement: 11--12 Gyrs for Salaris isochrones and about 13 Gyrs for Padova. The difference between the model ages is due to the inclusion of atomic diffusion in the Salaris models. Previously older spectroscopic ages were due to the underestimate of the number of red giants and/or the use of isochrones that neglected the effects of He-diffusion and alpha-enhancement. A similar underestimate in the bright giant LF, if it exists in current super-solar metallicity models, would cause spectroscopic ages of elliptical galaxies inferred from such models to be too high by approximately 30%.

description: While the application of mesophilic anammox process is currently the state of the art, the feasibility of a thermophilic anammox bioprocess is still unclear. In this study, we investigate whether glycine betaine (GB) addition can enhance the thermotolerance of mesophilic anammox biomass in the upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors fed with synthetic wastewater at a nitrogen loading of approximately 4 kg N m–3 d−1. The results showed that during a long-term operation at 45°C with GB (0, 0.1, 1, 2 mM) addition, anammox performance became worse with the final effluent concentrations of NO2–N of 145 ± 11.6 mg L−1 and nitrogen removal efficiency decreased from 92.3–6.9%. Specific anammox activity decreased from 392.1 ± 12.1–6.0 ± 0.8 mg N g−1 VSS d−1, which were not significantly higher than those in the control reactor. The content of heme c showed a stronger downward trend in T1 (with GB addition) than in the control reactor T0. The qPCR results showed that the relative abundance of Candidatus Kuenenia decreased in both the experimental (from 53.5–28.8%) and control reactors (from 54.1–35.1%). Overall, continuous addition of exogenous GB did not improve the thermotolerance of mesophilic anammox consortia at 45°C.

 Remarks. The Mexico locality was previously reported by Young (1988) as from the state of Sonora. Revised locality data cited by McCleve and Kohlmann (2005) indicate this locality is actually within the southwestern border of the state of Chihuahua.
 This species was not listed from Colorado by Young (1967, 1988). Krell (2010) cites “Mesa County, Colorado.” Records of its occurrence in California (Young 1967, 1988; Evans 1992) certainly represent misidentified or mislabeled specimens. For example, examination of a male specimen in the SBMNH determined as this species and labeled “Calif: San Bernardino Co., San Bernardino NF, nr. Deer Crk. 34.1741 -116.9844, July 2, 2005, specimen #CBP0031851, M.

description: Special and general relativistic effects on the X-ray emissions, especially the continuum spectra, from the accretion disks around black holes are investigated using the ray-tracing method. Because both the special and general relativistic effects are more important at distances closer to the black hole, the relativistic modifications to the emitted X-ray spectra are more significant at higher energies. In a simple accretion disk precession model, the relativistic effects can account for the energy dependence of the QPO amplitude and phase-lags observed in several black hole binaries. The dramatic QPO phase-lag transitions only show up when the central black hole is spinning rapidly. The narrow distribution of the observed system inclination angles of black hole binaries may be due to the selection effect caused by the relativistic effects around black holes.

Abstract
Stiripentol (Diacomit®) is an orally-active, structurally unique anti-epileptic drug (AED) with multiple potential mechanisms of action, including enhancement of central γ-aminobutyric acid transmission. In the EU, stiripentol is indicated for use in conjunction with clobazam and valproate as adjunctive therapy of refractory generalized tonic-clonic seizures in patients with Dravet syndrome (DS; previously known as severe myoclonic epilepsy of infancy), whose seizures are not adequately controlled with clobazam and valproate. This approval (and similar DS indications in the USA, Canada and Japan), reflect the results of the STICLO studies, two small, randomized controlled trials in which stiripentol as adjunctive therapy was associated with a markedly superior response rate after 2 months compared with placebo in patients aged between 3 and ≈21 years with DS that was inadequately controlled with clobazam and valproate. These short-term results have subsequently been supported and extended by findings from longer-term, open-label, observational studies, including a retrospective longitudinal cohort study, which showed that the efficacy of combining stiripentol with clobazam and valproate when started at paediatric age was maintained in mid-adulthood with up to 24 years of exposure, and up to 40 years of age. Drowsiness, appetite loss, weight loss, ataxia and tremor are the most common adverse events associated with the addition of stiripentol to clobazam and valproate. Based on the available evidence, stiripentol, as an adjunct to clobazam and valproate, is a demonstrably beneficial and generally well-tolerated second-line treatment for patients with DS.

Magnetic influence on the frequency of the soft-phonon mode in the incipient ferroelectric EuTiO3

description: The dielectric constant of the incipient ferroelectric EuTiO$_3$ exhibits a sharp decrease at about 5.5K, at which temperature antiferromagnetic ordering of the Eu spins simultaneously appears, indicating coupling between the magnetism and dielectric properties. This may be attributed to the modification of the soft-phonon mode, $T_{1μ}$, which is the main contribution to the large dielectric constant, by the Eu spins(7$μ_B$ per Eu). By adding the coupling term between the magnetic and electrical subsystems as $ -g\sum\limits_l {\sum\limits_{< {i,j}} {q_l^2}} \overrightarrow {S_i} \cdot \overrightarrow {S_j} $ we show that the variation of the frequency of soft-phonon mode depends on the spin correlation between the nearest neighbors Eu spins and is substantially changed under a magnetic field.

description: Among various methods of reversible data hiding (RDH) in JPEG images, the consideration in designing is only the image quality, but the image quality and the file size expansion are equally important in JPEG images. Based on this situation, we propose a RDH scheme in JPEG images considering both the image quality and the file size expansion while designing the algorithm. The multi-objective optimization strategy is utilized to realize the balance of the two objectives. Specifically, the cover is divided into several non-overlapping signals firstly, and after that, the embedding costs of signals are calculated using the knowledge of the JPEG compression. Next, the optimized combination of signals for embedding data is gained by the multi-objective optimization. Experimental results show the better performance of our proposed RDH compared with state-of-the-art RDH in JPEG images.

 Type material. GBA Vienna (Austria); see below for details.
 Studied and illustrated material. Figs 10D 1–D 3: syntype illustrated in Hoernes (1875, pl. 11, figs 22a–b) and in Hoernes and Auinger (1890, pl. 35, figs 8a–b), Ottnang (Austria), height: 27.8 mm, width: 13.3 mm, GBA 1875/ 001/0019/1. Figs 10C 1–C 3: syntype illustrated in Hoernes (1875, pl. 11, figs 23a–b) and in Hoernes and Auinger (1890, pl. 35, figs 9a–b), Ottnang (Austria), height: 22.9 mm, width: 14.1 mm, GBA 1875/001/0019/2 (= holotype of Sveltia Suessi var. postypica Sacco, 1894, p. 58).
 Discussion. This species is clearly closely related to Sveltia dertovaricosa Sacco, 1894. A separation is based on the fusiform outline, which lacks an angulation, on the shorter spire and on the reduced axial ribs, which bear small nodes at the intersections with the spiral ribs. This sculpture is comparable with that of Sveltia colpodes Cossmann, 1899, from the Langhian of the Aquitaine Basin, which is more slender and has a higher spire.
 A further argument to treat this taxon as valid species is the fact that the Paratethys was strongly isolated during middle Burdigalian times, resulting in a high Ottnangian endemism rate (Harzhauser & Piller, 2007; Landau et al., 2009). It is thus not surprising that Sveltia suessi might have formed as offshoot from the Sveltia lyrata -group. Middle Miocene occurrences as mentioned by Kittl (1887) need confirmation.
 The material from the Ottnangian of Upper Austria as described by Hoernes (1875) is always slightly deformed and poorly preserved. The specimen illustrated as fig. 9 by Hoernes and Auinger (1890, pl. 35) is deformed as well and lacks the anterior termination. Therefore, a separation as a distinct taxon postypica Sacco, 1894 is superfluous and was probably caused by the misleading illustration in Hoernes and Auinger (1890).
 Distribution. Seemingly restricted to the Ottnangian (Middle Burdigalian) of the Paratethys.
 Paratethys —Ottnangian: North Alpine Foreland Basin (Austria: Ottnang and various other localities in Upper Austria; Bavaria: Gernergraben, Kaltenbachgraben).

description: Ramanujan graphs are graphs whose spectrum is bounded optimally. Such graphs have found numerous applications in combinatorics and computer science. In recent years, a high dimensional theory has emerged. In this paper these developments are surveyed. After explaining their connection to the Ramanujan conjecture we will present some old and new results with an emphasis on random walks on these discrete objects and on the Euclidean spheres. The latter lead to "golden gates" which are of importance in quantum computation.

Electrostatic responses of anisotropic dielectric films
Creators: name: Deng, Hai-Yao
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the electrostatic responses (i.e. retardation effects due to the propagation of electromagnetic waves are ignored) of a linear homogeneous and anisotropic (LHA) dielectric film to an arbitrary external electrostatic potential, which may be generated by charges located either inside or outside it. A formalism is developed to calculate the polarization charges induced in the film. In our derivation, the idea is exploited that a physical boundary can be looked upon as a region of rapid variation in polarization rather than a simple geometric separation. With this no boundary conditions are needed in solving the relevant electrostatics problem. Our approach makes it clear that the responses consist of two contributions, one arising from the very presence of surfaces while the other existing even in an infinite medium. The approach can be applied not just to electrostatic but also many problems and is of great pedagogical value. In light of the results, we discuss graphene plasma waves under the influence of a LHA dielectric film such as a few-layer hexagonal boron nitride. It is found that the dispersion of these waves is strongly affected by the anisotropy at wavelengths comparable to the film thickness.

The Occupation Kernel Method for Nonlinear System Identification

description: This manuscript presents a novel approach to nonlinear system identification leveraging densely defined Liouville operators and a new "kernel" function that represents an integration functional over a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS) dubbed an occupation kernel. The manuscript thoroughly explores the concept of occupation kernels in the contexts of RKHSs of continuous functions, and establishes Liouville operators over RKHS where several dense domains are found for specific examples of this unbounded operator. The combination of these two concepts allow for the embedding of a dynamical system into a RKHS, where function theoretic tools may be leveraged for the examination of such systems. This framework allows for trajectories of a nonlinear dynamical system to be treated as a fundamental unit of data for nonlinear system identification routine. The approach to nonlinear system identification is demonstrated to identify parameters of a dynamical system accurately, while also exhibiting a certain robustness to noise.

Antibias in Clusters: The Dependence of M/L on Cluster Temperature

description: We show that the observed mass-to-light ratio of galaxy clusters increases with cluster temperature as expected from cosmological simulations. Contrary to previous observational suggestions, we find a mild but robust increase of M/L from poor (T = 1 - 2 keV) to rich (T = 12 keV) clusters; over this range, the mean M/L_V increases by a factor of about 2. The best fit relation satisfies M/L_V = (170 +- 30) T(keV)^(0.3 +- 0.1) h at z=0, with a large scatter. This trend confirms predictions from cosmological simulations which show that the richest clusters are antibiased, with a higher ratio of mass per unit light than average. The antibias increases with cluster temperature. The effect is caused by the relatively older age of the high-density clusters, where light has declined more significantly than average since their earlier formation time. Combining the current observations with simulations, we find a global value of M/L_V = 240 +- 50 h, and a corresponding mass density of the universe of Omega_m = 0.17 +- 0.05.

description: We have considered all blazars observed in the X-ray band and for which the slope of the X-ray spectrum is available. We have collected 421 spectra of 268 blazars, including 12 archival unpublished ASCA spectra of 7 blazars whose analysisis presented here. The X-ray spectra of blazars show trends as a function of their power, confirming that the blazar overall energy distribution can be parameterized on the basis of one parameter only, i.e. the bolometric luminosity. This is confirmed by the relatively new hard (2-10 keV) X-ray data. Our results confirm the idea that in low power objects the X-ray emission mechanism is the synchrotron process, dominating both the soft and the hard X-ray emissions. Low energy peaked BL Lac objects are intermediate, often showing harder spectra in the hard X-ray band, suggesting that the synchrotron process dominates in the soft band, with the inverse Compton process dominating at high energies. The most powerful objects have X-ray spectra that are flat both in the soft and in the hard band, consistent with a dominating inverse Compton component.

description: Nonlinear coherent modes are the collective states of trapped Bose atoms, corresponding to different energy levels. These modes can be created starting from the ground state condensate that can be excited by means of a resonant alternating field. A thorough theory for the resonant excitation of the coherent modes is presented. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the feasibility of this process are found. Temporal behaviour of fractional populations and of relative phases exhibits dynamic critical phenomena on a critical line of the parametric manifold. The origin of these critical phenomena is elucidated by analyzing the structure of the phase space. An atomic cloud, containing the coherent modes, possesses several interesting features, such as interference patterns, interference current, spin squeezing, and massive entanglement. The developed theory suggests a generalization of resonant effects in optics to nonlinear systems of Bose-condensed atoms.
