Cosmarium grantii

description: Cosmarium grantii J.Roy & Bisset (Figs 1, 9, 10, 11, 30)
 Cosmarium grantii was described by Roy (1893, pl. 1: 10) and Roy & Bisset (1894, p. 102) from from wet rocks in northeastern Scotland. Although this species was reproduced in the British flora by West & West (1912) those latter authors state it never to have seen themselves. As far as we could trace, no later records have been published either. So, it seems to be a decidedly rare species. Yet we think that an alternative explanation may be found in its close resemblance to the above discussed Cosmarium neocrenatum. C. grantii differs from that latter species by cells that are but slightly longer than broad, resulting in an almost quadrate cell shape. Quoting Roy & Bisset (1894: 102) cells are ‘nearly as broad as long’ [so not ‘almost as long as broad’ as stated in West & West (1912: 38)!] Cells of C. neocrenatum on the contrary, as depicted in the manuals mentioned, are distinctly longer than broad, resulting in a roughly rectangular cell shape. An additional differentiating feature may be found in the supraisthmial cell wall sculpture. Whereas that ornamentation in C. neocrenatum usually largely consists of a series of 3-6 longitudinal costae, in Roy & Bissets’ diagnosis (1894: 102) of C. grantii they mention ‘five pairs of prominent granules at the base of each semi-cell’, see also the corresponding picture in Roy (1893, pl. 1: 10). Considering the cells depicted in our figs 1, 11 and 30, those cells well meet the characteristics of C. grantii. A relevant additional differentiating feature regarding C. neocrenatum could be in their ecology. Whereas in the Netherlands C. neocrenatum is characteristic of slightly acidic to circumneutral substrates in fen hollows, C. grantii, as known from a number of sites in the province of Drenthe, was encountered on wet acidic substrates in moorland areas.

description: We derive an effective Hamiltonian system describing the low energy dynamics of circular magnetic skyrmions and antiskyrmions. Using scaling and symmetry arguments we model (anti-)skyrmion dynamics through a finite set of coupled, canonically conjugated, collective coordinates. The resulting theoretical description is independent of both micromagnetic details as well as any specificity in the ansatz of the skyrmion profile. Based on the Hamiltonian structure we derive a general description for breathing dynamics of (anti-)skyrmions in the limit of radius much larger than the domain wall width. The effective energy landscape reveals two qualitatively different types of breathing behavior. For small energy perturbations we reproduce the well-known small breathing mode excitations, where the magnetic moments of the skyrmion oscillate around their equilibrium solution. At higher energies we find a breathing behavior where the in-plane angle of the skyrmion continuously precesses, transforming Néel to Bloch skyrmions and vice versa. For a damped system we observe the transition from the continuously rotating and breathing skyrmion into the oscillatory one. We analyze the characteristic frequencies of both breathing types, as well as their amplitudes and distinct energy dissipation rates. For rotational (oscillatory) breathing modes we predict on average a linear (exponential) decay in energy. We argue that this stark difference in dissipative behavior should be observable in the frequency spectrum of excited (anti-)skyrmions.

description: The specific heat, magnetic susceptibility and ESR signals of a Na-deficient vanadate Na_xV_2O_5 (x=1.00 - 0.90) were studied in the temperature range 0.07 - 10 K, well below the transition point to a spin-gap state. The contribution of defects provided by sodium vacancies to the specific heat was observed. It has a low temperature part which does not tend to zero till at least 0.3 K and a high temperature power-like tail appears above 2 K. Such dependence may correspond to the existence of local modes and correlations between defects in V-O layers. The magnetic measurements and ESR data reveal S=1/2 degrees of freedom for the defects, with their effective number increasing in temperature and under magnetic field. The latter results in the nonsaturating magnetization at low temperature. No long-range magnetic ordering in the system of defects was found. A model for the defects based on electron jumps near vacancies is proposed to explain the observed effects. The concept of a frustrated two-dimensional correlated magnet induced by the defects is considered to be responsible for the absence of magnetic ordering.

description: Observations of the galactic disk at mid-infrared and longer wavelengths reveal a wealth of structures indicating the existence of complexes of recent massive star formation. However, little or nothing is known about the stellar component of those complexes. We have carried out observations aiming at the identification of early-type stars in the direction of the bright infrared source RAFGL~5475, around which several interstellar medium structures usually associated with the presence of massive stars have been identified. Our observations have the potential of revealing the suspected but thus far unknown stellar component of the region around RAFGL~5475. We have carried out near-infrared imaging observations ($JHK_S$ bands) designed to reveal the presence of early-type stars based on their positions in color-color and color-magnitude diagrams centered on the location of RAFGL~5475. We took into account the possibility that candidates found might belong to a foreground population physically related either to M16 or M17, two giant HII regions lying midway between the Sun and RAFGL~5475. The near-infrared color-color diagram shows clear evidence for the presence of a moderately obscured population of early-type stars in the region imaged. By studying the distribution of extinction in their direction and basic characteristics of the interstellar medium we show that these new early-type stars are most likely associated with RAFGL~5475. By investigating the possible existence of massive early-type stars in the direction of RAFGL~5475 we have discovered the existence of a new OB association. A very preliminary assessment of its contents suggests the presence of several O-type stars, some of them likely to be associated with structures in the interstellar medium. The new association is located at 4 kpc from the Sun in the Scutum-Centaurus arm.

description: Studies have been made on the phase transition phenomena of an oscillator network model based on a standard Hebb learning rule like the Hopfield model. The relative phase informations---the in-phase and anti-phase, can be embedded in the network. By self-consistent signal-to-noise analysis (SCSNA), it was found that the storage capacity is given by $α_c = 0.042$, which is better than that of Cook's model. However, the retrieval quality is worse. In addition, an investigation was made into an acceleration effect caused by asymmetry of the phase dynamics. Finally, it was numerically shown that the storage capacity can be improved by modifying the shape of the coupling function.

description: Distances are fundamental primitives whose choice significantly impacts the performances of algorithms in machine learning and signal processing. However selecting the most appropriate distance for a given task is an endeavor. Instead of testing one by one the entries of an ever-expanding dictionary of {\em ad hoc} distances, one rather prefers to consider parametric classes of distances that are exhaustively characterized by axioms derived from first principles. Bregman divergences are such a class. However fine-tuning a Bregman divergence is delicate since it requires to smoothly adjust a functional generator. In this work, we propose an extension of Bregman divergences called the Bregman chord divergences. This new class of distances does not require gradient calculations, uses two scalar parameters that can be easily tailored in applications, and generalizes asymptotically Bregman divergences.

description: In this work we study the applicability of the Equivalence Theorem, either for unitary models or within an effective lagrangian approach. There are two types of limitations: the existence of a validity energy window and the use of the lowest order in the electroweak constants. For the first kind, we consider some methods, based on dispersion theory or the large $N$ limit, that allow us to extend the applicability. For the second, we have obtained numerical estimates of the effect of neglecting higher orders in the perturbative expansion.

description: We study interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) measured by probes at different heliocentric distances (0.3-1AU) to investigate the propagation of ICMEs in the inner heliosphere and determine how the generic features of ICMEs change with heliospheric distance. Using data from the MESSENGER, Venus Express and ACE spacecraft, we analyze with the superposed epoch technique the profiles of ICME substructures, namely the sheath and the magnetic ejecta. We determine that the median magnetic field magnitude in the sheath correlates well with ICME speeds at 1 AU and we use this proxy to order the ICMEs at all spacecraft. We then investigate the typical ICME profiles for three categories equivalent to slow, intermediate and fast ICMEs. Contrary to fast ICMEs, slow ICMEs have a weaker solar wind field at the front and a more symmetric magnetic field profile. We find the asymmetry to be less pronounced at Earth than at Mercury, indicating a relaxation taking place as ICMEs propagate. We also find that the magnetic field intensities in the wake region of the ICMEs do not go back to the pre-ICME solar wind intensities, suggesting that the effects of ICMEs on the ambient solar wind last longer than the duration of the transient event. Such results provide an indication of physical processes that need to be reproduced by numerical simulations of ICME propagation. The samples studied here will be greatly improved by future missions dedicated to the exploration of the inner heliosphere, such as Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter.

description: Introduction: The purpose of the study was to assess tobacco smoking habits among nursing students and how these are influenced by family members and cohabitants. Methods: Cross-sectional study. An anonymous papery questionnaire was administered to nursing students of the three-year course of the University of Palermo. Adjusted Odds Ratio (aOR) are presented. Results: 301 nursing students (63.12 % female) completed the questionnaire (response rate 61.17%). The average age of the sample is 21.88 years (SD ± 2.80). Considering as a dependent variable: “I currently smoke”, the statistically significant independent variables associated are: “Male gender” (aOR 2.09), “Single” (aOR 2.06), “Second year of study of the degree course in nursing” (aOR 0.46), “Third year of study of the degree course in nursing” (aOR 0.43), “Don’t think that warnings and pictures on cigarette packs can help stop smoking” (aOR 6.38), “Mother smoked in the past” (aOR 2.25) and “Brother or sister smoked in the past” (aOR 5.50). Conclusions: Students and graduate nurses need to be aware of current knowledge in the smoking cessation field and they have an influential role in modifying patient behavior in order to assist them to smoking cessation.

Using 9.7 million $B\bar{B}$ pairs collected with the CLEO II detector, we observe the decays B- -> phi K- and B0 -> phi K*0 with the following branching fractions: BR(B- -> phi K-)=(5.5 +2.1-1.8 +- 0.6) x 10^{-6} and BR(B0 -> phi K*0)=(11.5 +4.5-3.7 +1.8-1.7) x 10^{-6}. We also see evidence for the decays B0 -> phi K0 and B- -> phi K*-. However, since the statistical significance is not overwhelming for these modes we determine upper limits of <12.3 x 10^{-6} and <22.5 x 10^{-6} (90% C.L.) respectively.

description: Background: This study aims to estimate the Socio-Economic Status (SES) inequality on the metastasis, recurrence, stage and grade in Breast Cancer (BC). Methods: This retrospective cohort study conducted on 411 BC patients in Arak, Iran. Asset-based questionnaire used to estimate the household SES. For calculate of SES inequality was used from Concentration Index (C). Moreover for investigate the association between recurrence and metastasis with other variables were used from multilevel logistic regression and analysis of variance were used to investigate the relationship between SES and other variables. The data were analyzed with Stata (v.13) software. Results: Results of analysis of variance showed statistical significant relationship between SES with, insurance, surgery, grade, stage, recurrence and metastasis (p-value < 0.05). Moreover the Odds Ratio (OR) were significant of recurrence with age, academic level of education, supplementary insurance history of BC in first-degree relatives, stage and grade, also, metastasis with age of >80 years, insurance, supplementary insurance, history of BC in first-degree relatives, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, stage and grade four. The total C index obtained 0.015 (0.002, 0.026), 0.011 (0.003, 0.031), -0.014 (-0.034, -0.001) and -0.042 (-0.061, -0.002) for metastasis, recurrence, stage and grade of BC respectively. Conclusion: Our results showed evidence of inequality in the metastasis, recurrence, stage and grade in BC patients.

description: In this study, a time-domain reflectometry (TDR) system based on a baseband version of the orthogonal chirp-division multiplexing (OCDM) scheme, which is relies on a modified discrete Fresnel transform (DFnT), is proposed for power line sensing. After a detailed description of the system model, a multiple access scheme that exploits the contolution theorem of the modified DFnT for enabling distributed reflectometric and transferometric sensing of the monitored power line. Considering typical European underground low-voltage and US overhead medium-voltage (MV) power distribution networks, range resolution and maximum unambiguous range for the measurements are assessed for the proposed scheme. Next, a comparison with multiple access schemes based on the Hermitian symmetric orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (HS-OFDM) discussed in a previous work is performed considering a Brazilian MV overhead scenario, being the number of measurements obtained over time, as well as signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) used as performance metrics. The attained results show that the proposed multiple access scheme results in the same range resolution as the others. Also, the highest number of measurements over time is obtained by the proposed scheme, which produces orthogonality among signals transmitted by different power line modems (PLMs) neither and time nor frequency domains, but rather in the Fresnel domain. Meanwhile, although its yielded SINR values are fair among the PLMs consisting the distributed sensing system, the proposed scheme is slightly outperformed by the HS-OFDM based on code-division multiple access and by the HS-OFDM based on frequency-division multiple access at some PLMs.

description: Introduction. Influenza represents a matter of serious concern for clinicians, both for outpatient and in hospital setting. The 2017-18 epidemic represented the highest in terms of severity since 2003-04 worldwide. Overall, in Italy 764 cases was classified as “severe form”, with 173 influenza-attributed deaths . The majority of the fatal cases were recorded in the elderly and in patients with multiple comorbidities. However, some sporadic cases were also described in previously healthy people. We report a real-world experience about the management of cases of influenza admitted in a large teaching hospital in the Friuli Venezia Giulia region during the 2017-2018 influenza season. We also provide a practical guide for the management of hospitalized influenza cases. Methods. A retrospective observational analysis wasbconducted among all influenza cases requiring admission in our Center during the 2017-18 season. Results. Overall, 29 patients were admitted at the University Hospital of Udine during the 2017-18 season with a diagnosis of influenza. B virus was responsible for the majority of the cases. More than 65.5% of the subjects presented with a complication. We estimated that 41.4% of the admitted cases were affected by a “severe form”. All these cases required admission in Intensive Care Unit, 27.6% and 10.3% of them needing Oral-Tracheal Intubation and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation, respectively. Fatality rate was 24.1%. Noteworthy, only 9 subjects of our cohort had received vaccination. On the basis of the experience acquired during the past season, we propose a practical guide to approach influenza cases in everyday hospital practice. Conclusion. The cornerstones of the management of all hospitalized influenza cases are the rapid identification and treatment of severe forms. Timely and strictly adherence to contact and respiratory precautions are also fundamental to reduce the risk of intra-hospital outbreaks. Despite the improvements of antiviral therapies and supportive measures, influenza-related morbidity and mortality remain high. According to our opinion, a universal vaccination program represents the only safe and effective method to fill the gap.

description: A small quantum dot containing approximately 20 electrons is realized in a two-dimensional electron system of an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. Conventional transport and microwave spectroscopy reveal the dot's electronic structure. By applying a coherently coupled two-source technique, we are able to determine the complex microwave induced tunnel current. The amplitude of this photoconductance resolves photon-assisted tunneling (PAT) in the non-linear regime through the ground state and an excited state as well. The out-of-phase component (susceptance) allows to study charge relaxation within the quantum dot on a time scale comparable to the microwave beat period.

description: We study the surface tension of hot, highly magnetized three flavor quark matter droplets, focusing specifically on the thermodynamic conditions prevailing in neutron stars, hot lepton rich protoneutron stars and neutron star mergers. We explore the role of temperature, baryon number density, trapped neutrinos, droplet size and magnetic fields within the multiple reflection expansion formalism (MRE), assuming that astrophysical quark matter can be described as a mixture of free Fermi gases composed by quarks $u$, $d$, $s$, electrons and neutrinos, in chemical equilibrium under weak interactions. We find that the total surface tension is rather unaffected by the size of the drop, but is quite sensitive to the effect of baryon number density, temperature, trapped neutrinos and magnetic fields (specially above $eB \sim 5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{GeV}^2$). Surface tensions parallel and transverse to the magnetic field span values up to $\sim$ 25 MeV/fm$^2$. For $T \lesssim 100$ MeV the surface tension is a decreasing function of temperature but above 100 MeV it increases monotonically with $T$. Finally, we discuss some astrophysical consequences of our results.

description: We present a new computational methodology for the investigation of gel electrophoresis of polyelectrolytes. We have developed the method initially to incorporate sliding motion of tight parts of a polymer pulled by an electric field into the bond fluctuation method (BFM). Such motion due to tensile force over distances much larger than the persistent length is realized by non-local movement of a slack monomer at an either end of the tight part. The latter movement is introduced stochastically. This new BFM overcomes the well-known difficulty in the conventional BFM that polymers are trapped by gel fibers in relatively large fields. At the same time it also reproduces properly equilibrium properties of a polymer in a vanishing filed limit. The new BFM thus turns out an efficient computational method to study gel electrophoresis in a wide range of the electric field strength.

description: Cosmarium palatiniforme Van Westen & Coesel spec. nov. (Figs 2, 18, 19, 20, 33)
Diagnosis: Cells a little longer than broad with a rather deep, linear, almost closed sinus. Semicells in frontal view sub-oblong with convex lateral sides and broadly rounded angles. Semicell margin with some 14 crenations, those on the lateral sides rather deep and emarginate, those at the apex most flattened. Semicells in frontal view just above the isthmus with a broad inflation furnished with 6-8 flattened, longitudinal costae, usually indistinctly granulate and paired with a separate granule near the isthmus. Supraisthmial ornamentation separated from radiate series of intramarginal granules by an unsculptured zone. Intramarginal granules joining the marginal crenations arranged in pairs. Outline of semicells in apical view elliptic, the central part inflated. Outline in lateral view ovate. Chloroplast with a single, central pyrenoid.
Dimensions: cell length 32–35 µm, breadth 27–31 µm, L/B = 1.1–1.2, thickness 18–19 µm, isthmus 10–13 µm.
Type:— THE NETHERLANDS. Drenthe: rain puddle on sandy track in estate De Holmers near Elp, 52.911518 ° N, 6.630222° E. Van Westen, 19 Februari 2017 (holotype L! Hugo de Vries Lab 2021.03, preserved as a fixed natural sample and represented by our fig. 2).
 Differentiating diagnosis:—The above-diagnosed taxon very well agrees with C. palatinum Dick as represented in Grönblad (1936, p. 11, pl. 2: 31). However, semicells of C. palatinum as originally diagnosed by Dick (1930, p. 43, pl. 8: 7) are characterized by a supraisthmial inflation furnished with distinctly separated granules arranged in a pattern of 5 by 3 series. Because of the questionable identity of our taxon with Dick’s C. palatinum we prefer to describe it as a separate species. As far as could be traced, no other records of C. palatinum have been published. Presumably, we have to do with a rare species with a predominantly boreal distribution. In the Netherlands it is only known from a few locations.

description: We show how a stochastic version of the Lagrange multiplier method can be combined with the stochastic maximum principle for jump diffusions to solve certain constrained stochastic optimal control problems. Two different terminal constraints are considered; one constraint holds in expectation and the other almost surely. As an application of this method, we study the effects of inflation- and wage risk on optimal consumption. To do this, we consider the optimal consumption problem for a budget constrained agent with a Lévy income process and stochastic inflation. The agent must choose a consumption path such that his wealth process satisfies the terminal constraint. We find expressions for the optimal consumption of the agent in the case of CRRA utility, and give an economic interpretation of the adjoint processes.
title: Bar display or numeric display – which punctuality display makes more sense for train drivers?

description: Background: Drivers of some public transport, like trams or buses, are equipped with a punctuality display to continuously monitor the actual status with the scheduled times of the timetable. The train drivers of the Swiss Federal Railways and some other major railway companies in the country do not have such a punctuality display until now. Instead, they receive other information aids on the screen of their work tablets, such as frequent passage times for operating points or recommended speeds for a smooth and energy-saving journey. However, train drivers must compare two displayed times and perform a mental calculation to get their current earliness or delay in relation to the timetable. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate how a punctuality display needs to be designed to support drivers in a smooth and safe journey without causing stress or distraction. Method: Two prototype punctuality displays, a bar graph display and a numeric display, were developed in a workshop with experts from the railway and occupational psychology fields. During the development the two prototypes were evaluated according to suitable design and usability criteria such as task appropriateness, conformity to expectations or individuality. In addition, the two prototypes were not allowed to restrict the train drivers' scope of action or distract them during the journey. The train drivers tested the two punctuality displays on test tablets during one to two work shifts. They then rated usefulness, distraction, stress, risk of confusion and other issues on an online-questionnaire using a 7-point Likert scale. Results: Seventy-three train drivers tested the punctuality displays, 55 of whom completed the questionnaire. Eighty per cent of the drivers preferred the numerical display to the bar display. The ratings of some aspects, such as usefulness or interpretability, were significantly higher for the numeric display than for the bar display. Conclusion: The results show a clear preference for the numeric display over the bar display. While the usability criteria in this study were only considered for the punctuality display itself, they should also be applied when the system is put in place.
Distribution of valence quarks and light-cone QCD sum rules

description: A method for calculating the pion structure function directly in terms of light-cone wave functions is suggested. Taking twist-2 and twist-4 pion light-cone wave functions into account, it is shown that the QCD sum rule prediction is in agreement with quark distribution obtained from analysis of the Drell-Yan process. Twist-4 quark-gluon light-cone wave functions give a large positive contribution to the pion structure function for x_B<0.2. A new constraint on the twist-2 pion light-cone wave function is obtained. We argue that the leading twist pion wave function ϕ_π(u) \simeq 1 for u=0.3 with an accuracy of about 20-30%.

A minimal model for slow dynamics: Compaction of granular media under vibration or shear

description: Based on experiments of the compaction of granular materials under periodic shear of a packing of glass beads, a minimal model for the dynamics of the packing density as a function of time is proposed. First, a random ``energy landscape'' is created by a random walk (RW) in energy. Second, an ensemble of RWs is performed for various temperatures in different temperature-time sequences. We identify the minimum (mean) of the energy landscape with the maximum (random) density. The temperature scaled by the step-size of the energy landscape determines the dynamics of the system and can be regarded as the agitation or shear amplitude. The model reproduces qualitatively both tapping and shear experiments. {\bf Key-words}: Compaction, crystallization, Sinai-diffusion, random walks, quenched disorder

description: The quark and gluon structure of the proton has been under intense experimental and theoretical investigation for five decades. Even for the distributions of the well-studied valence quarks, challenges such as the value of the down quark to up quark ratio at high fractional momenta remain. Much of the sea of quark-antiquark pairs emerges from the splitting of gluons and is well described by perturbative evolution in quantum chromodynamics. However, experiments confirm that there is a non-perturbative component to the sea that is not well understood and hitherto has been difficult to calculate with ab initio non-perturbative methods. This non-perturbative structure shows up, perhaps most directly, in the flavor dependence of the sea antiquark distributions. While some of the general trends can be reproduced by models, there are features of the data that do not seem to be well described. This article discusses the experimental situation, the status of calculations and models, and the directions where these studies will progress in the near future.

description: The phase diagram of a two-dimensional Josephson array of mesoscopic objects is examined. Quantum fluctuations in both the modulus and phase of the superconducting order parameter are taken into account within a lattice boson Hubbard model. Modulating the average occupation number $n_0$ of the sites in the system leads to changes in the state of the array, and the character of these changes depends significantly on the region of the phase diagram being examined. In the region where there are large quantum fluctuations in the phase of the superconducting order parameter, variation of the chemical potential causes oscillations with alternating superconducting (superfluid) and normal states of the array. On the other hand, in the region where the bosons interact weakly, the properties of the system depend monotonically on $n_0$. Lowering the temperature and increasing the particle interaction force lead to a reduction in the width of the region of variation in $n_0$ within which the system properties depend weakly on the average occupation number. The phase diagram of the array is obtained by mapping this quantum system onto a classical two-dimensional XY model with a renormalized Josephson coupling constant and is consistent with our quantum Path-Integral Monte Carlo calculations.

description: We show how one can measure anomalous WWZ- and WWgamma-couplings with minimal statistical error using integrated observables, without having to assume that the anomalous couplings are small. We propose a parametrisation of these couplings which is well suited for the extraction of both single and many parameters, and which leads to a very simple form of the integrated cross section, from which additional information on the couplings can be obtained.
