description: We analyze new high-resolution Chandra X-ray images of the Wolf-Rayet binary system WR147. This system contains a WN8 star with an early-type companion located 0.6'' to its north, and is the only known early-type binary with a separation on the sky large enough for the wind-wind collision between the stars to currently be resolved at X-ray energies. The 5 ksec Chandra HRC-I image provides the first direct evidence for spatially extended X-ray emission in an early-type binary system. The X-ray emission peaks close to the position of the radio bow shock and north of the WN8 star. A deeper X-ray image is needed to accurately determine the degree of spatial extension, to exactly align the X-ray and optical/radio frames, and to determine whether part of the detected X-ray emission arises in the individual stellar winds. Simulated X-ray images of the wind-wind collision have a FWHM consistent with the data, and maximum likelihood fits suggest that a deeper observation may also constrain the inclination and wind momentum ratio of this system. However, as the WR wind dominates the colliding wind X-ray emission it appears unlikely that the mass-loss rate and the terminal velocity of the companion wind can be separately determined from X-ray observations. We also note an inconsistency between numerical and analytical estimates of the X-ray luminosity ratio of the stronger and weaker wind components, and conclude that the analytical results are in error.

description: By investigating music listening and learning of audience members in three orchestral concert hall settings in Australia, the study theorises how relationships, social interaction, space, programming and technologies are curated to support audience engagement and learning of music within the concert hall. This work contributes to philosophical understandings about the importance of music education for developing audiences and innovates phenomenological research methods through mindfulness practices. The findings illustrate the need to redefine perspectives on learning in public spaces like the concert hall, recognise the diversity of audience experiences, and the opportunities for learning and engagement present in the art form.

description: To any triangulated category with tensor product $(K,\otimes)$, we associate a topological space $Spc(K,\otimes)$, by means of thick subcategories of $K$, a la Hopkins-Neeman-Thomason. Moreover, to each open subset $U$ of $Spc(K,\otimes)$, we associate a triangulated category $K(U)$, producing what could be thought of as a presheaf of triangulated categories. Applying this to the derived category $(K,\otimes):=(D^{perf}(X),\otimes^L)$ of perfect complexes on a noetherian scheme $X$, the topological space $Spc(K,\otimes)$ turns out to be the underlying topological space of $X$; moreover, for each open $U\subset X$, the category $K(U)$ is naturally equivalent to $D^{perf}(U)$. As an application, we give a method to reconstruct any reduced noetherian scheme $X$ from its derived category of perfect complexes $D^{perf}(X)$, considering the latter as a tensor triangulated category with $\otimes^L$.

description: We consider periodically driven potential impurities coupled to the surface states of a two-dimensional topological insulator. The problem is addressed by means of two models, out which the first model is an effective continuum Hamiltonian for the surface states, whereas the Kane-Mele lattice model is our second approach. While both models result in drastic changes in the local density of electron states with increasing amplitude and frequency of the driving field, the linearly low energy local density of electron states remains in the continuum model, however, with an increased Fermi velocity. The spectrum of the continuum model remains gapless under the emergence of new impurity resonances near the Fermi energy. The Kane-Mele lattice model represents a finite size system, with edge states appearing at the boundary of the system. We, thus, consider the impurity at two different positions, one at the boundary and one at the center of the lattice. In the former case, a reduction and broadening of the low energy local density of electron states result with increasing amplitude of the driving field. On the other hand, there are no new resonances emerging in the spectrum. In the latter case, the spectrum is gapped both in the absence of the impurity as well as for weak amplitudes of the driving field, while the gap tends to fill up with impurity states with increasing amplitude.

description: Introduction: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is the only licensed vaccine for tuberculosis, but its effectiveness is limited and varies by age. New candidate vaccines are currently being investigated. In response to the declining incidence of TB, practices relating to BCG vaccination have changed in various countries in recent years. A valid cost-effectiveness study is therefore needed in order to assist decision-makers in the implementation of cost-effective strategies for BCG vaccination. Areas covered: Studies involving economic evaluations of BCG vaccination were reviewed in order to present current findings concerning a range of BCG vaccination strategies in a variety of regions, target populations, and vaccine types. The Quality of Health Economic Studies (QHES) instrument was used to assess the quality of the studies included in the analysis. Expert opinion: Most of the studies showed a favorable economic profile of BCG vaccination. Selective strategies seem the most cost-effective option for low-incidence areas. Varying results on revaccination strategies did not lead to any conclusive finding on the cost-effectiveness of the strategies. A novel vaccine – either a BCG replacement or booster vaccine that provides better protection, especially in adults – has the potential to enhance the cost-effectiveness of vaccinating against tuberculosis.

Tribe Phaeogenini includes only very small representatives of subfamily, parasitizing on Microlepidoptera. They distinct from closely related tribe Alomyini and other tribes of subfamily by completely circular small spiracles in combination with morphology of head of females. Genae and hypostomae not closed under foramen occipitalis. Besides that, basic characters of the tribe are convex in longitudinal and cross directions clypeus, pentagonal areolet of front wings with broadly divided veins of base (with wide base) and tendency to shortening radial cell and stigma. The set of carinae of propodeum with usually hexagonal area superomedia, narrowed from costulae in front to area basalis, almost parallel sided behind costulae and often longer than width are also character to majority of forms.
In contrast to Ichneumonini, Phaeogenini in most cases are monotonous in coloration and demonstrate only slightly expressed sexual dimorphism. The species are usually red (of different tints), or black, or both color in combination, usually without white pattern, or with very limited white pattern.
 The figures of Pseudalomya, presented on color plate illustrate pari passu both characters of Alomyini and Phaeogenini.

description: R-band intensity measurements along the light curve of Type Ia supernovae discovered by the Supernova Cosmology Project (SCP) are fitted in brightness to templates allowing a free parameter the time-axis width factor w = s(1+z). The data points are then individually aligned in the time-axis, normalized and K-corrected back to the rest frame, after which the nearly 1300 normalized intensity measurements are found to lie on a well-determined common rest-frame B-band curve which we call the ``composite curve''. The same procedure is applied to 18 low-redshift Calan/Tololo SNe with z < 0.11; these nearly 300 B-band photometry points are found to lie on the composite curve equally well. The SCP search technique produces several measurements before maximum light for each supernova. We demonstrate that the linear stretch factor, s, which parameterizes the light-curve timescale appears independent of z,and applies equally well to the declining and rising parts of the light curve. In fact, the B-band template that best fits this composite curve fits the individual supernova photometry data when stretched by a factor s with chi^2/DoF approx = 1, thus as well as any parameterization can, given the current data sets. The measurement of the date of explosion, however, is model dependent and not tightly constrained by the current data. We also demonstrate the 1+z light-curve time-axis broadening expected from cosmological expansion. This argues strongly against alternative explanations, such as tired light, for the redshift of distant objects.

description: Orbital magnetization is known empirically to play an important role in several magnetic phenomena, such as permanent magnetism and ferromagnetic superconductivity. Within the recently developed ''modern theory of orbital magnetization'', theoretical insight has been gained into the nature of this often neglected contribution to magnetism, but is based on an underlying mean-field approximation. From this theory, a few treatments have emerged which also take into account correlations beyond the mean-field approximation. Here, we apply the scheme developed in a previous work [Phys. Rev. B ${\bf \text{93}}$, 161104(R) (2016)] to the Haldane-Hubbard model to investigate the effect of charge fluctuations on the orbital magnetization within the $GW$ approximation. Qualitatively, we are led to distinguish between two quite different situations: (i) When the lattice potential is larger than the nearest neighbor hopping, the correlations are found to boost the orbital magnetization. (ii) If the nearest neighbor hopping is instead larger than the lattice potential, the correlations reduce the magnetization.

description: Background Achieving one’s preferred place of death is often considered, within palliative care, as a proxy for a ‘good death’. To date, most place of death studies are quantitative and reflect an urban view. The objectives of this study were to explore the concept of the good death from the experiences and perspectives of rural patients with a life limiting illness, and their family caregivers, within the Snowy Monaro region of New South Wales, Australia; to determine the influence of place of death and rural residency on the ‘good death’. Methods This thesis was a mixed methods study, comprising 1. Two systematic and one scoping literature reviews, exploring rural place of death, the rural ‘good death’, and end-of-life care from the experiences and perspectives of rural patients and family caregivers. 2. An ethnographic study utilising open ended interviews with 11 rural patients with life limiting illness, 18 family caregivers, and six clinicians (medical and nursing). 3. A cross-sectional study of cause and place of death for all people who died in the Snowy Monaro region between 1st February 2015 and 31st May 2016 (N= 224). Results Of the 224 deaths recorded, 138 (62%) were due to an illness amenable to palliative care. Seventeen (12%) of these deaths occurred at home, in a private residence; 52 (38%) occurred in the usual place of residence. Residential aged care was considered home for some residents. Home was the initial preferred place of death for those interviewed. Over time, dying in a safe place became more important than dying at home. A ‘safe death’ emerged as the central theme of a ‘good death’. Home is more than the material structure. It represents connection to the land, family, and memories, all elements that underpin its value as a safe place. Rural residency helped maintain home as a safe place (e.g. privacy on the farm); however, these same features quickly rendered home an unsafe place of death (e.g. isolation). The roles of the rural hospital and rural residential aged care in end-of-life care are unique, and their familiarity within one’s community often makes them a safer alternative to home, and a substitute for in-patient hospice. Conclusion Most Snowy Monaro residents do not die at home, yet a ‘good death’ is achievable. Many elements of the ‘good death’ are not unique to rural residency; however, rural perspectives on place of death are often contrary to the urban view. A death at home does not ensure a good death. The task for all those providing and supporting end-of-life care is to ensure all places for dying can deliver the ‘safe death’ no matter where the illness trajectory dictates that the person dies.

description: We present CCD BVI photometry of the intermediate age open cluster Pismis 2, covering from the brighter red giants to about 5 magnitudes below the main sequence turn-off. The cluster is heavily reddened and is possibly affected by a differential reddening of Delta E(B-V) ~= 0.04-0.06. Using the synthetic Colour - Magnitude Diagram method, we estimate in a self-consistent way distance modulus, (n-M)0 ~= 12.5-12.7, and age ~= 1.1-1.2 Gyr. The cluster probably contains a significant fraction of binary systems. The metallicity is most likely solar and the reddening E(B-V) ranges between 1.26 and 1.32 depending on the cluster region.

description: Markov decision process (MDP) congestion game is an extension of classic congestion games, where a continuous population of selfish agents solves Markov decision processes with congestion: the payoff of a strategy decreases as more population uses it. We draw parallels between key concepts from capacitated congestion games and MDP. In particular, we show that population mass constraints in MDP congestion games are equivalent to imposing tolls/incentives on the reward function, which can be utilized by social planners to achieve auxiliary objectives. We demonstrate such methods in a simulated Seattle ride-share model, where tolls and incentives are enforced for two separate objectives: to guarantee minimum driver density in downtown Seattle, and to shift the game equilibrium towards a maximum social output.

description: The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) is designed to gather the best and deepest multiwavelength data for studying the formation and evolution of galaxies and active galactic nuclei, the distribution of dark and luminous matter at high redshift, the cosmological parameters from distant supernovae, and the extragalactic background light. The program uses the most powerful space- and ground-based telescopes to cover two fields, each 10'x16', centered on the Hubble Deep Field North and the Chandra Deep Field South, already the sites of extensive observations from X-ray through radio wavelengths. GOODS incorporates 3.6-24 micron observations from a SIRTF Legacy Program, four-band ACS imaging from an HST Treasury Program, and extensive new ground-based imaging and spectroscopy. GOODS data products will be made available on a rapid time-scale, enabling community research on a wide variety of topics. Here we describe the project, emphasizing its application for studying the mass assembly history of galaxies.

description: This study tests persuasive effects of 30 debate performances drawn from samples (n = 5780) of 22 states over four election cycles (2004–2016). We test partisanship of the candidate, type of debate (presidential or vice-presidential), gender of the candidate, whether it was the first debate of the cycle, and whether it was a town-hall debate as possible moderators. Results reveal that viewers are likely to perceive their inparty candidate more favorably after viewing a debate, particularly for vice-presidential candidates, Democratic candidates, and female candidates. Debate viewing did not consistently influence evaluations of the outparty candidate. We conclude that debates can persuade and argue for a reconceptualization of partisan-motivated reasoning as a constraint on political persuasion.

description: The central black-hole masses of a sample of radio-loud quasars are estimated by using the data of $H_β$ line-width and the optical continuum luminosity. The vast majority of the quasars in this sample have black-hole masses larger than $10^{8} M_{\odot}$, while a few quasars may contain relatively smaller black-holes. We found a significant anti-correlation between the radio-loudness and the central black-hole mass. It might imply that the jet formation is governed by the black-hole mass.

Tesseral harmonics of Jupiter from static tidal response

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)

description: The Juno Orbiter is measuring the three-dimensional gravity field perturbation of Jupiter induced by its rapid rotation, zonal flows, and tidal response to its major natural satellites. This paper aims to provide the contributions to the tesseral harmonics coefficients Cnm, Snm, and the Love numbers knm to be expected from static tidal response in the gravity field of rotating Jupiter. For that purpose, we apply the method of Concentric Maclaurin Ellipsoids (CMS). As we are interested in the variation of the tidal potential with the longitudes of the moons, we take into account the simultaneous presence of the satellites Io, Europa, and Ganymede. We assume co-planar, circular orbits with normals parallel to Jupiter's spin axis. The planet-centered longitude of Io in the three-moon case is arbitrarily assumed varphi = 0. Under these assumptions we find maximum amplitudes and fluctuations of 3.5 times 10^-8 +- 15% for C22. For the Love numbers, largest variation of 10% to 20% is seen in k42 and k62, whereas the values k2, k33, and k44 fall into narrow ranges of 0.1% uncertainty or less. In particular, we find k2=k2,Io(1 +- 0.02%) where k2,Io=0.5897 is the static tidal response to lone Io. Our obtained gravity field perturbation leads to a maximum equatorial shape deformation of up to 28m. We suggest that should Juno measurements of the knm deviate from those values, it may be due to dynamic or dissipative effects on Jupiter's tidal response. Finally, an analytic expression is provided to calculate the tesseral harmonics contribution from static tidal response for any configuration of the satellites.

description: In the present paper we study two sequences of real numbers associated to a symplectic diffeomorphism: the uniform norm of the differential of its n-th iteration and the word length of its n-th iteration. In the latter case we assume that our diffeomorphism lies in a finitely generated group of symplectic diffeomorphisms. We find lower bounds on the growth rates of these sequences in a number of situations. These bounds depend on the symplectic geometry of the manifold rather than on the specific choice of a diffeomorphism. They are obtained by using recent results of Schwarz on Floer homology. Applications to the Zimmer program are presented. We prove non-existence of certain non-linear symplectic representations for finitely generated groups including some lattices and Baumslag-Solitar groups.

description: Ionic liquids are a special category of molten salts with melting points near ambient temperatures or by convention below 100 C. Owing to their numerous valuable physicochemical properties as bulk liquids, solvents, at surfaces and in confined environments, ILs have attracted increasing attention in both academic and industrial communities in a variety of application areas involving physics, chemistry, material science and engineering. Due to their nearly limitless number of combinations of cation and anion pairs and mixtures with cosolvents, a molecular level understanding of their hierarchical structures and dynamics, requiring strategies to connect several length and time scales, is of crucial significance for rational design of ILs with desired properties, and thereafter refining their functional performance in applications. As an invaluable compliment to experiments from synthesis to characterization, computational modelling and simulations have significantly increased our understanding on how physicochemical and structural properties of ILs can be controlled by their underlying chemical and molecular structures. In this chapter, we will give examples from our own modelling work based on selected IL systems, with focus on imidazolium based and tetraalkylphosphonium orthoborate ILs, studied at several spatiotemporal scales in different environments and with particular attention to applications of high technological interest.

description: Exploring Communication Strategies used by Speech-Language Pathologists in Multilingual Contexts in Malaysia Abstract: Communication is critical to the work of speech-language pathologists (SLPs). In highly multilingual societies like Malaysia, the complexity of communication is distinct from SLP practices in more monolingually-oriented jurisdictions, especially in terms of professional discourse. The issue of unshared or limited overlapping linguistic repertoires between professionals and clients is common in Malaysia. This may contribute to a high risk of misinterpretation and miscommunication, which could lead to misdiagnosis and improper management. Therefore, research on how to systematically manage SLP-client interactions where participants lack a language variety in common is essential. Currently, there is no documentation as to what kinds of strategies Malaysian SLPs use to compensate for the communication gap between them and their clients when they have limited or no shared language. Hence, the aim of this study is to gather such information and to recommend broad policy guidelines in relation to multilingual SLP-client interactions. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 10 SLPs across Malaysia from diverse practice backgrounds. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse transcribed data and generate themes. Findings include 1) current practices and recommendations relating to assessment and intervention when there is limited or no shared language between clients and SLPs, 2) strategies that can be used to facilitate effective communication with these clients, and 3) recommended practices when working with ad hoc and professional translators.The significant of this study is that it offers some important insights into multilingualism issue present in Malaysia, regarding the professional discourse in the healthcare contexts and provides an opportunity to advance our knowledge on language proficiency management, particularly in the SLP profession.

Constraints on Black Hole Jet Models Used As Diagnostic Tools of Event Horizon Telescope Observations of M87

description: Jet models of Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) data should also conform to the observed jet profiles just downstream. This study evaluates conformance of models of black hole jets to images of the innermost jet of M87. This is a basic test that should be passed before using them to perform a physical interpretation of EHT data. Recent 86 GHz Very Long Baseline Interferometry observations of M87 have revealed the morphology and size of the jet near its source ($<65$\,M, or 0.06 lt-yrs after correcting for line of sight to the jet, where $M$ is the black hole mass in geometrized units) for the first time. Current transverse resolution indicates that this region is dominated by flux emanating from the edge of the jet. The observed inner jet profiles are compared to all existing published synthetic radio images constructed from "state of the art" 3-D numerical simulations of the black hole accretion system in M87. Despite efforts to produce the characteristic wide, edge dominated jet, these models are too narrow (by a factor of $\sim2$) in the region 0.06 - 0.32 lt-yrs from the source, even though the jets (spine and/or sheath) in the image plane might appear conformant farther downstream. Furthermore, the synthetic radio images are not edge dominated 0.06 - 0.32 lt-yrs from the source, but spine dominated. Analyses that implement these models as physical diagnostics of EHT visibility amplitudes are therefore suspect. Thus, these inner jet characteristics are important considerations before applying simulations to the EHT data.

Reducing Anomaly Detection in Images to Detection in Noise

description: Anomaly detectors address the difficult problem of detecting automatically exceptions in an arbitrary background image. Detection methods have been proposed by the thousands because each problem requires a different background model. By analyzing the existing approaches, we show that the problem can be reduced to detecting anomalies in residual images (extracted from the target image) in which noise and anomalies prevail. Hence, the general and impossible background modeling problem is replaced by simpler noise modeling, and allows the calculation of rigorous thresholds based on the a contrario detection theory. Our approach is therefore unsupervised and works on arbitrary images.

description: We present a new optomechanical device where the motion of a micromechanical membrane couples to a microwave resonance of a three-dimensional superconducting cavity. With this architecture, we realize ultrastrong parametric coupling, where the coupling rate not only exceeds the dissipation rates in the system but also rivals the mechanical frequency itself. In this regime, the optomechanical interaction induces a frequency splitting between the hybridized normal modes that reaches 88% of the bare mechanical frequency, limited by the fundamental parametric instability. The coupling also exceeds the mechanical thermal decoherence rate, enabling new applications in ultrafast quantum state transfer and entanglement generation.

description: Fresh food supply chains in Europe’s transnational agribusinesses depend on cheap, non-unionised, and privately managed labour from low-wage eastern European countries. The costs versus benefits of this phenomenon are under-studied. By examining seasonal farm migration from Romania to Germany, we argue that the Covid-19 pandemic is, for farmworkers, a Janus-faced event. On the one hand, it has worsened the precarity of migrant farmworkers. Changes in the German state’s pay legislation that excluded workers from social benefits, and the reluctance of the German state to enforce labour legislation to the full in the early stages of the pandemic sharpened what we have termed the structural disempowerment of migrant farmworkers. Romanian seasonal workers have had little choice but to implicitly subsidise the costs of German farm products. At the same time, the health crisis has made their work visible and led to processes that challenge the perception of migrant workers as passive agents. In this regard we refer specifically to (i) the supportive media coverage in Romania, Germany, and beyond and (ii) the assertion of union-affiliated farm and abattoir labour activism in Germany. These planted seeds of contestation, and collective action against abuses sprang up in several farms. Combined with a flare-up of Covid-19 in German abattoirs in the summer of 2020, these campaigns for visibility and improved working conditions led the German government to alter legislation so as to better protect seasonal labour in the fresh vegetable and meat sectors. Going forward, the tension between these two opposing sociopolitical drivers may shape the governance of seasonal labour in Europe.

description: The period from the late 1990s to the present in rural India has been characterised by scholars as being a period of agrarian distress. There is debate, however, on whether this “unending” crisis has halted capital accumulation in agriculture and affected all classes. This paper contributes to this debate by studying aspects of capital accumulation in Punjab. It uses data from two surveys of a village in the Doaba region of Punjab: a census survey by the Foundation for Agrarian Studies in 2011, and a resurvey by the author of a sample of households in 2019. The paper argues that capital accumulation in the village has continued over the last two decades and was concentrated in a class of tenant-capitalist farmers belonging to the dominant class and caste (Jat Sikhs). In the context of stagnation of agricultural productivity and declining profitability per unit of land, this group of capitalist farmers was able to enhance their total income by leasing in land. This opportunity was created by large-scale emigration among the landed Jat Sikhs. Tenant-capitalist farmers had privileged access to the lands of the emigrants with whom they shared caste and kinship ties. This path of accumulation was further facilitated by access to cheap migrant workers, assured procurement by the State, an active market for machinery, and access to credit at affordable rates of interest. Tenancy thus provided an impetus to accumulation and investment in the capitalist agriculture of Punjab in the contemporary period.
A high frequency radio study of G11.2-0.3, a historical supernova remnant with a flat spectrum core

description: We present radio maps of the historical supernova remnant G11.2-0.3 in the frequency range from 4.85 GHz to 32 GHz. The integrated spectrum with α= -0.50 (S ~ ν^α) is dominated by its steep spectrum shell emission (α~ -0.57), although a flat spectrum core structure classifies G11.2-0.3 as a composite supernova remnant. A radial magnetic field structure is observed. An analysis of the multi-frequency polarization data results in highly varying rotation measures along the shell. The percentage polarization is rather low (~2%) and we conclude that G11.2-0.3 is in the transient phase from free to adiabatic expansion. The central flat spectrum component is partly resolved. A compact radio source with an inverted spectrum likely coincides with the previously detected X-ray pulsar (Torii et al. (1997). Two symmetric structures with flat radio spectra possibly indicate a bipolar outflow. Combining available X-ray and radio data we conclude that G11.2-0.3 is likely the remnant of a type II supernova explosion with an early type B progenitor star.
