description: General rogue waves in the Davey-Stewartson-I equation are derived by the bilinear method. It is shown that the simplest (fundamental) rogue waves are line rogue waves which arise from the constant background with a line profile and then disappear into the constant background again. It is also shown that multi-rogue waves describe the interaction of several fundamental rogue waves. These multi-rogue waves also arise from the constant background and then decay back to it, but in the intermediate times, interesting curvy wave patterns appear. However, higher-order rogue waves are found to show more interesting features. Specifically, only part of the wave structure in the higher-order rogue waves rises from the constant background and then retreats back to it, and this transient wave exhibits novel patterns such as parabolas. But the other part of the wave structure comes from the far distance as a localized lump, which decelerates to the near field and interacts with the transient rogue wave, and is then reflected back and accelerates to the large distance again. These rogue-wave solutions have interesting implications for two-dimensional surface water waves in the ocean.

description: Electronic phase diagram of LixCoO2 has been re-examined using potentiostatically de-intercalated single crystal samples. Stable phases of x ~ 0.87, 0.72, 0.53, 0.50, 0.43, and 0.33 were found and isolated for physical property studies. A-type and chain-type antiferromagnetic orderings have been suggested from magnetic susceptibility measurement results in x ~ 0.87 and 0.50 below ~ 10 K and 200 K, respectively, similar to those found in NaxCoO2 system. There is no Li vacancy superlattice ordering observed at room temperature for the electronically stable phase Li0.72CoO2 as revealed by synchrotron X-ray Laue diffraction. The peculiar magnetic anomaly near ~ 175 K as often found in powder samples of x ~ 0.46-0.78 cannot be isolated through this single crystal potentiostatic method, which supports the previously proposed explanation to be surface stabilized phase of significant thermal hysteresis and aging character.

description: Captures of alpha particles on the proton-richest Barium isotope, 130Ba, have been studied in order to provide cross section data for the modeling of the astrophysical gamma process. The cross sections of the 130Ba(alpha,gamma)134Ce and 130Ba(alpha,n)133Ce reactions have been measured with the activation technique in the center-of mass energy range between 11.6 and 16 MeV, close above the astrophysically relevant energies. As a side result, the cross section of the 132Ba(alpha,n)135Ce reaction has also been measured. The results are compared with the prediction of statistical model calculations, using different input parameters such as alpha+nucleus optical potentials. It is found that the (alpha,n) data can be reproduced employing the standard alpha+nucleus optical potential widely used in astrophysical applications. Assuming its validity also in the astrophysically relevant energy window, we present new stellar reaction rates for 130Ba(alpha,gamma)134Ce and 132Ba(alpha,gamma)136Ce and their inverse reactions calculated with the SMARAGD statistical model code. The highly increased 136Ce(gamma,alpha)132Ba rate implies that the p nucleus 130Ba cannot directly receive contributions from the Ce isotopic chain. Further measurements are required to better constrain this result.

description: Background: In Germany, patients are entitled to a medication plan. While the overview is useful, it does not contain explicit information on various potential adverse drug events (ADEs). Therefore, physicians must continue to seek information from various sources to ensure medication safety. Objective: In this project a first functional prototype of a medication therapy tool was developed that focuses on visualizing and highlighting potential ADEs. A usability analysis about the tool’s functionality, design and usability was conducted. Methods: A web application tool was developed using the MMI Pharmindex as database. ADEs are color coded and can be displayed in three different ways – as a list, a table, or a graph. To test the tool, an online survey was conducted amongst healthcare professionals (n = 9). The test included two real medication plans to check ADEs through the tool. Results: The survey results indicated that the web tool was clear and self-explanatory. It scored overall “good” (score: 76.5) on the System Usability Scale questionnaire. Due to the free-text information of the database used, there were some inconsistencies in the visualized ADEs. Conclusion: There is a demand for a visualization tool for medications. The high quality of the database is crucial in order to correctly visualize all necessary information, such as drug-drug interactions and inclusion of patient data. This is essential to provide a trustworthy tool for medical professionals.
Pulse-amplitude-resolved spectroscopy of bright accreting pulsars: indication of two accretion regimes

description: Context: In addition to coherent pulsation, many accreting neutron stars exhibit flaring activity and strong aperiodic variability on time scales comparable to or shorter than their pulsation period. Such a behavior shows that the accretion flow in the vicinity of the accretor must be highly non-stationary. Observational study of this phenomenon is often problematic as it requires very high statistics of X-ray data and a specific analysis technique. Aims: In our research we used high-resolution data taken with RXTE and INTEGRAL on a sample of bright transient and persistent pulsars, to perform an in-depth study of their variability on time scales comparable to the pulsation period - "pulse-to-pulse variability". Methods: The high-quality data allowed us to collect individual pulses of different amplitude and explore their X-ray spectrum as a function of pulse amplitude. The described approach allowed us for the first time to study the luminosity-dependence of pulsars' X-ray spectra in observations where the averaged (over many pulse cycles) luminosity of the source remains constant. Results: In all studied pulsars we revealed significant spectral changes as a function of the pulse height both in the continuum and in the cyclotron absorption features. The sources appear to form two groups showing different dependencies of the spectrum on pulse height. We interpret such a division as a manifestation of two distinct accretion regimes that are at work in different pulsars.

description: In recent years, demographic changes has been identified as an emergent issue in Greece, requiring immediate action in order to achieve an immediate adaptation to any foreseen changes and intercept the existing trends, but also to mitigate any negative effects. There is enough knowledge, not only of the most important issues to date, but also of the short and medium-term future developments based on the most recent demographic projection scenarios (up to 2050). This knowledge has raised political awareness and led to the adoption of strategic measures, such as the National Action Plan to address the demographic problem, which was recently announced by the Greek government. This Plan should take into account all ofthe demographic components, and, at the same time, consider the significant spatial variations that lie behind national average values. Ιn this short paper we focus onthese issues and attempt to highlight the significance of considering them in policy-making, by use of four examples: the uneven spatial distribution of the population, the differentiated population change between the last two censuses, the spatial divergencebetween natural balances (ratio of births to deaths in the pre-pandemic period), and, finally, the significant deviations of demographic ageing around the national average.

description: Fraxinus excelsior (European Ash) is a common tree in Europe with about 80 million individuals in the UK, and is of great ecological and economic value. Ash is diploid, with 2C = 46 chromosomes. Ash trees in Europe are now threatened by the fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus; it is estimated that around 99% of the ash trees in the UK are at risk of infection. Natural genetic variation within Ash populations includes a small percentage of low susceptibility individuals, as has been confirmed by a field study in Denmark. However, until now there is no reference sequence available which made it impossible to study the genetic variants that confer a low susceptibility phenotype on a genome-wide scale.

We extracted DNA from a young ash tree produced by the self-pollination of a low heterozygosity tree from the Cotswolds in England. We measured its 1C genome size with flow cytometry as 880Mb. We are sequencing this de novo using a combination of Illumina HiSeq2000 and Roche 454 FLX+ technologies at Eurofins. We are assembling the reads with the CLC Genomics Workbench and other de novo assemblers for comparison and annotating it using MAKER.

This work lays foundations for the study of genome-wide polymorphisms in European ash, and selection of genes for resistance to Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus.

description: Fraxinus excelsior (European ash) is a common tree in Europe with about 80 million individuals in the UK, and is of great ecological and economic value as a key forest species. Ash is diploid, with 2C = 46 chromosomes. Ash trees in Europe are currently threatened by the fungal pathogen Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus, which causes ash dieback. It is estimated that around 99% of the ash trees in the UK are at risk of infection. Natural genetic variation within ash populations includes a small percentage of low susceptibility individuals, as has been confirmed by a field study in Denmark. The British Ash Tree Genome Project is providing a reference F. excelsior genome sequence, to make the identification of genetic variants conferring low susceptibility possible on a genome-wide scale.

We extracted DNA from a young ash tree produced by the self-pollination of a low heterozygosity tree from the Cotswolds in England. Its 1C genome size was measured with flow cytometry as 880Mb. The genome was sequenced de novo using a combination of Illumina HiSeq2000 and Roche 454 FLX+ technologies at Eurofins. Comparing the results of several de novo assemblers, we have selected the best assembly, consisting of 90k scaffolds and an N50 of almost 100kb. It is available for download on the project’s website, www.ashgenome.org, along with the raw sequencing data. We are also annotating the assembly with RNA-seq data from five different tissues.

Our work lays foundations for the study of genome-wide polymorphisms in European ash, and selection of genes for resistance to Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus. This reference genome may also assist scientists working on the emerald ash borer infestation of F. pennsylvanica and F. americana in North America.

description: Dust ion acoustic solitary structures have been investigated in an unmagnetized nonthermal plasma consisting of negatively charged dust grains, adiabatic positive ions and nonthermal electrons. For isothermal electrons, the present plasma system does not support any double layer solution, whereas for nonthermal electrons, negative potential double layer starts to occur whenever the nonthermal parameter exceeds a critical value. However this double layer solution is unable to restrict the occurrence of all negative potential solitary waves of the present system. As a result, two different types of negative potential solitary waves have been observed, in which occurrence of first type of solitary wave is restricted by M_cM_D, where M_c is the lower bound of Mach number M and M_D(>M_c) is the Mach number corresponding to a negative potential double layer. A finite jump between the amplitudes of negative potential of solitary waves at M=M_D-ε_1 and at M=M_D+ε_2 has been observed, where 00. An analytical theory for the existence of double layer has been presented. A numerical scheme has also been provided to find the value of Mach number at which double layer solution exists and also the amplitude of that double layer. Although the occurrence of coexistence of solitary structures of both polarities is restricted by M_cM_max, where M_max is the upper bound of M for the existence of positive potential solitary waves only. Qualitatively different compositional parameter spaces showing the nature of existing solitary structures of the energy integral have been found. These solution spaces are capable of producing new results and physical ideas for the formation of solitary structures.

description: This paper introduces a particular game formulation and its corresponding notion of equilibrium, namely the satisfaction form (SF) and the satisfaction equilibrium (SE). A game in SF models the case where players are uniquely interested in the satisfaction of some individual performance constraints, instead of individual performance optimization. Under this formulation, the notion of equilibrium corresponds to the situation where all players can simultaneously satisfy their individual constraints. The notion of SE, models the problem of QoS provisioning in decentralized self-configuring networks. Here, radio devices are satisfied if they are able to provide the requested QoS. Within this framework, the concept of SE is formalized for both pure and mixed strategies considering finite sets of players and actions. In both cases, sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the SE are presented. When multiple SE exist, we introduce the idea of effort or cost of satisfaction and we propose a refinement of the SE, namely the efficient SE (ESE). At the ESE, all players adopt the action which requires the lowest effort for satisfaction. A learning method that allows radio devices to achieve a SE in pure strategies in finite time and requiring only one-bit feedback is also presented. Finally, a power control game in the interference channel is used to highlight the advantages of modeling QoS problems following the notion of SE rather than other equilibrium concepts, e.g., generalized Nash equilibrium.

description: Genotyping of SNP loci polyploids has always been challenging, but may become easier using high-coverage sequencing. The production of such data in turn requires the development of new methods and software that can be used to analyse it in user friendly software such as the CLC Genomics Workbench. The Fixed Ploidy Variant Detection tool of the CLC Genomics Workbench already takes higher ploidy levels into account, but an explicit evaluation of the locus configuration is currently not provided. We have developed an algorithm that uses read counts and average base quality to estimate the most likely allelic configuration at each variant position in polyploid samples. The underlying model

uses a log-likelihood approach and the applications for this are very broad. Not only population genetics, but also cancer research and haplotype based analyses can benefit from this. We are applying the algorithm to a Betula RAD data set to investigate introgression and gene flow in three species of the genus. Independently, a read-based haplotype caller is currently being developed at CLC bio. The number of called haplotypes and their support is expected to correlate with the locus configuration and will serve as a validation of our approach.

Here we propose a scheme, in which only average $n/2$ times manipulation is required to accomplish a memory call. This scheme may significantly decrease the time spent on a memory call and the average overall error rate per memory call. A physical implementation scheme for storing an arbitrary state in a selected memory cell followed by reading it out is discussed.

description: NGC 1316 (Fornax A) is a prominent merger remnant in the outskirts of the Fornax cluster. The cluster system has not yet been studied in its entirety. We therefore present a wide-field study of the globular cluster system of NGC 1316, investigating its properties in relation to the global morphology of NGC 1316. We used the MOSAIC II camera at the 4-m Blanco telescope at CTIO in the filters Washington C and Harris R. We identify globular cluster candidates and study their color distribution and the structural properties of the system. In an appendix, we also make morphological remarks, present color maps, and present new models for the brightness and color profiles of the galaxy. The cluster system is well confined to the optically visible outer contours of NGC 1316. The color distribution of the entire sample is unimodal, but the color distribution of bright subsamples in the bulge shows two peaks that, by comparison with theoretical Washington colors with solar metallicity, correspond to ages of about 2 Gyr and 0.8 Gyr, respectively. We also find a significant population of clusters in the color range 0.8 < C-R < 1.1 which must be populated by clusters younger than 0.8 Gyr, unless they are very metal-poor. The color interval 1.3 < C-R < 1.6 hosts the bulk of intermediate-age clusters which show a surface density profile with a sharp decline at about 4 arcmin. The outer cluster population shows an unimodal color distribution with a peak at C-R=1.1, indicating a larger contribution of old, metal-poor clusters. Their luminosity function does not show the expected turn-over, so the fraction of younger clusters is still significant. Cluster formation in NGC 1316 has continued after an initial burst, presumably related to the main merger. A toy model with two bursts of ages 2 Gyr and 0.8 Gyr is consistent with photometric properties and dynamical M/L-values.

Για να τις αναδείξουμε και για να τεκμηριώσουμε την αναγκαιότητα του να ληφθούν υπόψη στη λήψη των όποιων μέτρων πολιτικής, επιλέξαμετέσσερα παραδείγματα: την εξαιρετικά άνιση κατανομή του πληθυσμού στο χώρο, την έντονα διαφοροποιημένη ανάμεσα στις δυο τελευταίες απογραφές μεταβολή του, τα εξαιρετικά διαφοροποιημένα φυσικά ισοζυγία (λόγος γεννήσεων προς θανάτους) στην προ της επιδημίας περίοδο, καθώς και τις σημαντικές αποκλίσεις των Νομών από τον εθνικό μέσο όρο ως προς τη δημογραφική γήρανση.
A QGIS plugin to interface openModeller
Creators: name: Becker, Daniel
name: Willmes, Christian
Publisher: name: CRC806-Database
Year: 2015

description: This is a plugin for QGIS to interface the openModeller software package. OpenModeller is a software framework for species’ potential distribution modelling. The package includes (among other program files) the om_console.exe executable which is used for the modelling process. The program file is controlled by a configuration file and needs several files as input data. The configuration file contains the paths to the input data, configuration parameters for the output data and the selected modelling algorithm (GARP, Bioclim, Maxent, etc.). Further input data is the occurrence file which contains the occurrence data for a species with a label and geographic coordinates in longitude/latitude notation. The last part is the environmental data that contains environmental variables such as climate or topographic data.
The plugin enables the user to select point and raster layers and a modelling algorithm in QGIS which are then converted (in case of the occurrence data) and copied to a new folder structure and written into the configuration file accordingly, depending on the selection and assignment. Subsequently, the generated files and project folder can be directly used by the om_console executable.
Introgression Among British Birch Trees
Creators: name: Zohren, Jasmin
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015
Subjects: climate change, genotyping polyploids, hybridisation, introgression

description: Hybridisation may lead to introgression of genes among species. Introgression may be bidirectional or unidirectional, depending on factors such as the demography of the hybridising species, or the nature of reproductive barriers between them. Previous microsatellite studies suggested bidirectional introgression between diploid Betula nana and tetraploid B. pubescens and also between B. pubescens and diploid B. pendula. Here we analyse introgression among these species using 76,587 variants in restriction-site associated (RAD) markers in 196 individuals. We found unidirectional introgression into B. pubescens from both of the diploid species, in clear clines with greater B. nana introgression in the north and greater B. pendula introgression in the south.  These patterns of introgression fit with the nature of the reproductive barrier between diploids and tetraploids, and historical range shifts of the three species since glaciation. To facilitate our analysis we developed a new script for genotyping polyploids based on read counts and average base quality, with an algorithm that calculates the maximum likelihood variant configuration at each locus. This is implemented in R and, besides population genetics, should be of use in cancer research and haplotype based analyses.

description: Die relationale Onto-Epistemologie des Neuen Materialismus bietet dem Magischen ein zeitgemäßes Refugium. Sie kann wie das magische Denken als transformatorische diagrammatische Praxis einer alternativen Wahrnehmung von und Partizipation in der Wirklichkeit verstanden werden, die auch als wirksamer Gegenzauber gegen hegemoniale Wissensstrukturen und dualistische - gerade auch ge- schlechtlich bestimmte - Herrschaftsformen fungiert. Der Aufsatz zeigt anhand aktueller künstlerischer Arbeiten von Mariechen Danz und Lea Porsager, wie in der zeitgenössischen Kunst diese Nähe zwischen neomaterialistischem und magischem (widerständigem) Denken evident wird und sich nicht zuletzt im Motiv des (magischen) Diagramms manifestiert. Er schlägt darüber hinaus einen Bogen zu Gloria Anzaldúas' Borderland-Theorie und zeigt, wie sich die erwähnte transformato- rische diagrammatische Praxis des Neuen Materialismus, des magischen Denkens oder Anzaldúas' mestiza-Bewusstseins um Körper im Werden dreht - Körper, die durch ihre Grenzüberschreitungen als Inbegriff vielfältiger Potenzialitäten zu deuten sind. The relational Onto-Epistemology of New Materialism provides a contemporary refuge for the magi- cal. Like magical thinking, it can be considered a transformative diagrammatic practice of an alternative perception of and participation in reality, which might also function as a counterspell against hegemonic knowledge structures and dualistic - especially gendered - forms of power. In analyzing current artistic works by Mariechen Danz and Lea Porsager, the article shows how the af- finity between neomaterialistic and magical (resistant) thinking becomes evident and manifests itself not least in the motif of the (magical) diagram. Furthermore, the text draws a line to Gloria Anzaldúas' Borderland Theory and shows how the above-mentioned transformative diagrammatic practice of New Materialism, magical thinking or Anzaldúas' mestiza-consciousness revolves around bodies in the state of becoming - bodies which are to be construed as incarnations of manifold potentialities due to their border crossings.

The initial functions of the MOI were threefold: news and press censorship; home publicity; and oversees publicity in Allied and neutral countries”. This collection contains Press Notices and Bulletins published by the MOI between 1939-1945. The Press Notices and Bulletins are among many publications and films issued by the agency during the war.
Pure Nash Equilibria: Hard and Easy Games

description: We investigate complexity issues related to pure Nash equilibria of strategic games. We show that, even in very restrictive settings, determining whether a game has a pure Nash Equilibrium is NP-hard, while deciding whether a game has a strong Nash equilibrium is SigmaP2-complete. We then study practically relevant restrictions that lower the complexity. In particular, we are interested in quantitative and qualitative restrictions of the way each players payoff depends on moves of other players. We say that a game has small neighborhood if the utility function for each player depends only on (the actions of) a logarithmically small number of other players. The dependency structure of a game G can be expressed by a graph DG(G) or by a hypergraph H(G). By relating Nash equilibrium problems to constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), we show that if G has small neighborhood and if H(G) has bounded hypertree width (or if DG(G) has bounded treewidth), then finding pure Nash and Pareto equilibria is feasible in polynomial time. If the game is graphical, then these problems are LOGCFL-complete and thus in the class NC2 of highly parallelizable problems.

description: The transverse momentum pT spectra of charged particles is measured by CMS as a function of collision centrality in PbPb collisions at sqrt(sNN) = 2.76 TeV. The results are compared to a pp reference spectrum, constructed by interpolation between sqrt(s) = 0.9 and 7 TeV measurements. The nuclear modification factor RAA is constructed by dividing the PbPb pT spectrum, normalized to the number of binary collisions (Ncoll), by the pp spectrum. Measured RAA in 0-5% centrality bin is compared to several theoretical predictions.

description: Background: The number of emergency medical service (EMS) calls in Germany is continuously increasing. The initial assessment, the pre-hospital care and the choice of hospital for further care by the EMS influences the patient’s outcome and are the basis for further care in hospital. However, the EMS does not receive any official feedback on its decisions. Objectives: This study evaluates the demand for a feedback system from the emergency department (ED) to the EMS, what it should contain, and how it could be integrated in the electronic clinical systems. Methods: A semi-structured interview guideline for expert interviews with members of EMS staff (n = 6) and ED staff (n = 17) was developed. A mockup to visualise a possible implementation was designed and included in the interview. Results: There is a significant demand for feedback on pre-diagnosis, pre-hospital care and handover of patients from the EMS to the ED. The EDs are very interested in improving the collaboration with the paramedic services through feedback. Conclusion: A feedback system is strongly desired by various EMS stakeholders and, according to them, could improve both EMS and ED collaboration and overall patient care.

description: We find polarization modes of gravitational waves in topologically massive and new massive gravities by using the Newman-Penrose formalism where the null real tetrad is necessary to specify gravitational waves. The number of polarization modes is two for the new massive gravity and one for the topologically massive gravity, which is consistent with the metric-perturbation approach.

description: The yrast states of even even vibrational and transitional nuclei are inter- preted as a rotating condensate of interacting d-bosons and the corresponding semi-classical tidal wave concept. A simple experimental manifestation of the anharmonicity caused by the boson interaction is found. The interpretation is substantiated by calculations based on the Collective Model and the Cranking Model.

description: Large diameter single-wall boron nanotubes (SWBNT) produced by 2%Mg-mesoporous Al2O3 catalysis show diamagnetic transition at ~ 40 K and ~ 80 K, which is a serious indication for possible superconductivity (J.Phys.Chem.C113, (2009) 17661). Theoretical study which explains or disproves possibility of superconductivity in boron is so far absent, however. Here we apply first-principles formulation of nonadiabatic theory of electron-vibration interactions in study of band structure of boron nanotubes. The ab initio results show that electron-vibration coupling induces in SWBNT with diameter larger than 15 Å transition into anti-adiabatic ground state at distorted-fluxional geometry. Thermodynamic and magnetic properties of anti-adiabatic ground state imply possibility of bipolaronic superconductivity. Calculated critical temperature Tc of large diameter SWBNT is 39 K and inclusion of Mg into a tube increases Tc up to 70-90 K. Presence of Al in SWBNT suppress superconductivity and a tube remains metallic down to 0 K. Superconducting properties could established boron nanotubes superior material for nanotechnology.
