description: We study stealth black hole perturbations in shift symmetric kinetic gravity braiding and obtain its analogous Regge-Wheeler and Zerilli master equations for the odd and even parity sectors. We show that the nontrivial hair of static and spherically symmetric stealth black holes contributes only an additional source term to the even parity master equation. Furthermore, we derive exact solutions to the monopolar and dipolar perturbations and show that they are generally pathological non-gauge modes, or else reduce to the pure-gauge low-order multipoles of general relativity.

Escape of Lyman alpha Emission in the Starburst Galaxy Mkn 357 - a Wind's Far Side
Creators: name: Keel, William C.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: HST imaging and slitless spectroscopy are used to examine where the strong Lyman alpha emission escapes from the interstellar medium in the starburst galaxy Mkn 357. An H-alpha image shows that the ionized gas is mostly in a global wind, rather than associated with the individual star-forming regions seen in the optical and UV continuum. The Lyman alpha emission comes predominantly from the northwest side of the wind structure spatially, and shows a significant redshift relative to the optical lines. Both of these properties are signatures of seeing the line photons backscattered from the far side of a prolate or bipolar starburst wind, fitting both with escape calculations and evidence for winds in high-redshift galaxies with net Lyman alpha emission. Scattering is most important within this wind itself, rather than involving a surrounding neutral medium, as shown by the decreasing relative redshift of the line peak from 250 to 30 km/s between the center and edge of the detected emission. The Lyman alpha emission exhibits strong asymmetry in comparison with both the starlight and H-alpha structures. These results add to the evidence that kinematics, rather than gas metallicity or dust content, are the dominant effect in determining which galaxies have strong Lyman alpha emission, and that powerful (and perhaps episodic) starbursts are common among Lyman-break galaxies as well as those discovered from Lyman alpha line emission.

description: The paper analyses productivity spillovers from foreign MNEs on domestic manufacturing firms. Using a database on foreign MNEs in Italy, our results reveal that local firms do benefit from the presence of foreign MNEs, and the effect is higher when local and foreign firms in manufacturing sectors are co-located. However, spillovers benefiting domestic firms are likely to be less influenced by co-location when foreign MNEs are in services sectors as the latter are different from manufacturing industries under a number of aspects that overcome the effect of distance. Indeed, in these sectors, proximity and interaction are often obtained through professional mobility and temporary inter-organizational routines.

Diagnosis. Length: 7.00– 9.80 mm. Similar to H. dimidiata in terms of size, general form, and coloration (Fig. 98a). Head reddish; pronotum red with a black macula on posterior margin in front of scutellar shield; scutellar shield black; elytra bright reddish with 11 black spots arranged in a 1-2-2-1 pattern, the last one on apex. Ventral side reddish except metaventrite black. Abdominal postcoxal line (Fig. 98b) incomplete with a strongly curved associated line merged with it. Male genitalia (Fig. 98c–f) as illustrated.
Distribution. India (Arunachal Pradesh). It is a widely variable species with a broad range of distribution extending from India to Southeast Asia (Indonesia; Malaysia; the Philippines) and Papua New Guinea (Ślipiński et al. 2020). It appears to be exceptionally rare in India.
Seasonal occurrence. Collected in November (label data).
Notes. It was described as Leis dunlopi Crotch (1874) from India and Poorani (2002) included it in the Indian checklist with a rider that Indian records might be misidentifications of colour forms of H. dimidiata and India label on Crotch specimen was probably erroneous. Later, Poorani & Booth (2016) recorded it from Arunachal Pradesh, northeastern India, based on a single male collected along with several examples of H. dimidiata and illustrated the male genitalia.

description: Although the NSCLC diagnostic standards recommend the detection of driver gene mutation, comprehensive genomic profiling has not been used widely in clinical practice. As to the different mutation spectrum characteristics between populations, the research based on Chinese NSCLC cohort is very important for clinical practice. Therefore, we collected 563 surgical specimens from patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma and applied capture-based sequencing using eight-gene panel. We identified 556 variants, with 416 potentially actionable variants in 54.88% (309/563) patients. These single nucleotide variants, insertions and deletions were most commonly found in EGFR (55%), followed by ERBB2 (12%), KRAS (11%), PIK3CA (9%), MET (8%), BRAF (7%), DDR2 (2%), NRAS (0.3%). By using ten protein function prediction algorithms, we also identified 30 novel potentially pathogenic variants. Ninety-eight patients harbored EFGR exon 21 p.L858R mutation and the catalytic domain of the protein tyrosine kinase (PTKc) in EGFR is largely mutated. In addition, there were nine frequent pathogenic variants found in 5 or more patients. This data provides the potential molecular basis for directing the treatment of lung cancer.

description: Using parsec scale resolution hydrodynamical adaptive mesh refinement simulations we have studied the mass transport process throughout a galactic merger. The aim of such study is to connect both the peaks of mass accretion rate onto the BHs and star formation bursts with both gravitational and hydrodynamic torques acting on the galactic gaseous component. Our merger initial conditions were chosen to mimic a realistic system. The simulations include gas cooling, star formation, supernovae feedback, and AGN feedback. Gravitational and hydrodynamic torques near pericenter passes trigger gas funneling to the nuclei which is associated with bursts of star formation and black hole growth. Such episodes are intimately related with both kinds of torques acting on the galactic gas. Pericenters trigger both star formation and mass accretion rates of $\sim$ few $(1-10)$ $M_\odot$/yr. Such episodes last $\sim$ $(50-75)$ Myrs. Close passes also can produce black hole accretion that approaches and reaches the Eddington rate, lasting $\sim$ few Myrs. Our simulation shows that both gravitational and hydrodynamic torques are enhanced at pericenter passes with gravitational torques tending to have higher values than the hydrodynamic torques throughout the merger. We also find that in the closest encounters, hydrodynamic and gravitational torques can be comparable in their effect on the gas, the two helping in the redistribution of both angular momentum and mass in the galactic disc. Such phenomena allow inward mass transport onto the BH influence radius, fueling the compact object and lighting up the galactic nuclei.

description: We consider the N=1* supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory and demonstrate that the Z_2 vortices in this theory acquire orientational zero modes, associated with the rotation of magnetic flux inside SU(2) group, and turn into the non-Abelian strings, when the masses of all chiral fields become equal. These non-Abelian strings are not BPS-saturated. We study the effective theory on the string world sheet and show that it is given by two-dimensional non-supersymmetric O(3) sigma model. The confined 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole is seen as a junction of the Z_2-string and anti-string, and as a kink in the effective world sheet sigma model. We calculate its mass and show that besides the four-dimensional confinement of monopoles, they are also confined in the two-dimensional theory: the monopoles stick to anti-monopoles to form the meson-like configurations on the strings they are attached to.

description: (ABRIDGED) Context. The line strength of the Ca II triplet (CaT) lines are a proxy to measure metallicity from individual stellar spectra of bright red giant stars. It is a mandatory step to remove the magnitude (proxy for gravity, temperature and luminosity) dependence from the equivalent width (EW) of the lines before converting them into metallicities. The working empirical procedure used for decades is to use the relative magnitude with respect to the horizontal branch level. Aims. The V filter is broadly adopted as the reference magnitude, although a few works have used different filters (I and Ks, for example). In this work we investigate the dependence of the CaT calibration using griz filters from the DECam and the GMOS, G from Gaia, BVI filters from the MCPS, YJKs filters from VIRCAM. We use as a reference FORS2 V filter used in the original analysis of the sample. Methods. Red giant stars from clusters with known metallicity and available CaT equivalent widths are used as reference. Public photometric catalogues are taken from SMASH DR2, VMC, Gaia, MCPS surveys plus VISCACHA-GMOS data, for a selection of Small Magellanic Cloud clusters. The slopes are fitted using two and three lines to be applicable to most of the metallicity scales. Results. The magnitude dependence of the CaT EWs is well described by a linear relation using any filter analysed in this work. The slope increases with wavelength of the filters. The zero point (a.k.a. reduced equivalent width), that is the metallicity indicator, remains the same. Conclusions. If the same line profile function is used with the same bandpasses and continuum regions, and the total EW comes from the same number of lines (2 or 3), then the reduced EW is the same regardless the filter used. Therefore, any filter can be used to convert the CaT equivalent widths into metallicity for a given CaT calibration.

description: While organisations across the world struggle to extend access to the 522 million living in rural areas without clean water, those who do have access do not necessarily use it. This paper explores why, within areas that have public taps with treated water, some individuals continue to use water from untreated sources. We focus on non-use of available rural water supply systems as well as inconsistent use, a phenomenon typically overlooked. Based on surveys in 12 rural communities with water systems in the Peruvian Amazon and qualitative interviews, this study finds community meeting attendance is important for consistent use as attendance increases social influence and reinforces information about the importance of clean water. Non-users are more likely to be those living furthest from the water source and with lower levels of education. Findings point to ways in which community approaches to heath interventions may be more likely to reach some – those with stronger ties to communities, who live closer and have higher levels of education – than others.

We find that this first order phase transition is accompanied by transient dynamics of the order parameter which we measure in real-time. The phase transition and the excitation spectrum can be derived from a microscopic Hamiltonian in quantitative agreement with our experimental data.

description: We develop a system-level design for the provision of Ancillary Service (AS) for control of electric power grids by in-vehicle batteries, suitably applied to Electric Vehicles (EVs) operated in a sharing service. An architecture for cooperation between transportation and energy management systems is introduced that enables us to design an autonomous Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) for the provision of multi-objective AS: primary frequency control in a transmission grid and voltage amplitude regulation in a distribution grid connected to EVs. The design is based on the ordinary differential equation model of distribution voltage, which has been recently introduced as a new physics-based model, and is utilized in this paper for assessing and regulating the impact of spatiotemporal charging/charging of a large population of EVs to a distribution grid. Effectiveness of the autonomous V2G design is evaluated with numerical simulations of realistic models for transmission and distribution grids with synthetic operation data on EVs in a sharing service. In addition, we present a hardware-in-the-loop test for evaluating its feasibility in a situation where inevitable latency is involved due to power, control, and communication equipments.

description: There is no ideal method for determination of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. We compared the effects of end-expiratory lung volume (EELV)-guided versus PaO2-guided PEEP determination on respiratory mechanics and oxygenation during the first 48 hours in moderate to severe ARDS. Twenty-two patients with moderate to severe ARDS admitted to an academic medical ICU were assigned to PaO2-guided (n = 11) or to EELV-guided PEEP determination (n = 11) group. First, an incremental PEEP trial was performed by increasing PEEP by 3 cmH2O steps from 8 to 20 cmH2O and in each step EELV and lung mechanics were measured in both groups. Then, oxygenation and respiratory mechanics were measured under the determined PEEP at 4, 12, 24, and 48th hours. After the incremental PEEP trial, over the 48 hours of the study period, in the EELV-guided group PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 increased (p = 0.04 and p = 0.02; respectively), whereas they did not change in PaO2-guided group (p = 0.09 and p = 0.27; respectively). In all patients, the median value of EELV change (ΔEELV) during incremental PEEP trial was 25%. In patients with ΔEELV > 25% (n = 11) PaO2, PaO2/FiO2 and Cs increased over time in 48 hours (p = 0.03, p p = 0.04; respectively), whereas they did not change in those with ΔEELV ≤ 25% (n = 11) (p = 0.73, p = 0.51, and p = 0.73; respectively). Compared to PaO2-guided PEEP determination, EELV-guided PEEP determination resulted in greater improvement in oxygenation over time. Patients who had > 25% improvement in EELV during a PEEP trial had greater improvement in oxygenation and compliance over 48 hours. Supplemental data for this article is available online at

description: Recent projections on the impact of climate change argue that eastern and southern Africa will be two regions around the globe that will experience dramatic reductions in maize yields by mid‐century. Absent from these projections is any consideration for farmer adaptation of cropping practices or land reallocation. This research quantifies risk, loss and ambiguity aversion for a sample of smallholder Kenyan farmers using framed field experiments. This behavioral information, directly elicited, is used to condition the selection of maize varieties differentiated by drought tolerance, pest resistance, maturity, and seed price. Overall, the willingness to pay for drought tolerance and other attributes is highly heterogeneous as determined through a Latent Class modeling approach. Failing to account for farmer heterogeneity biases the potential welfare gains from this technology. Secondly, willingness to pay estimates identify segments of farmers that are seed‐price sensitive and this elastic demand may limit technology purchase and the eventual impact of this adaptation strategy without seed market intervention.

description: The Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 shows rich variability which is categorized into different classes. In this paper, we report temporal and spectral analysis of GRS 1915+105 to study the properties of the accretion flow when the light curve is showing $θ$ class variability. For this purpose, we use the LAXPC data from the Target of Opportunity observations of India's first multi-wavelength astronomy satellite AstroSat. The $θ$ class is marked by the recurrent appearance of U-shaped regions in the light curve, where the photon count rate first decreases rapidly and then increases slowly. For our analysis, we use U-shaped regions of first two orbits (02345 and 02346) on 2016 March 04. In both of the cases, the dynamic Power Density Spectra (PDS) showed significant power at around $4-5$ Hz, suggesting the presence of a low-frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation (QPO) around that frequency interval. The QPO frequency is found to increase with time when the enhancement of the energy flux also takes place. From the evolution of the spectra, we determine the evolution of the accretion flow parameters in both of these observations. Fitting the spectra with the transonic flow solution based Two-Component Advective Flow (TCAF) model in $4-25$ keV energy band shows that the Keplerian disk accretion rate rises with the rise in the radiation intensity, while the location of the centrifugal pressure driven shock front decreases. In both these data, a gradual increment of power-law photon index with intensity is observed suggesting the progressive softening of the source.

description: Shortened abstract: Microcanonical equilibrium macrostates are characterized as the solutions of a constrained minimization problem, while canonical equilibrium macrostates are characterized as the solutions of a related, unconstrained minimization problem. In Ellis, Haven, and Turkington (J. Stat. Phys. 101, 999, 2000) the problem of ensemble equivalence was completely solved at two separate, but related levels: the level of equilibrium macrostates, which focuses on relationships between the corresponding sets of equilibrium macrostates, and the thermodynamic level, which focuses on when the microcanonical entropy $s$ can be expressed as the Legendre-Fenchel transform of the canonical free energy. The present paper extends the results of Ellis et al. significantly by addressing the following motivational question. Given that the microcanonical ensemble can be nonequivalent with the canonical ensemble, is it possible to replace the canonical ensemble with a generalized canonical ensemble that is equivalent with the microcanonical ensemble? The generalized canonical ensemble that we consider is obtained from the standard canonical ensemble by adding an exponential factor involving a continuous function $g$ of the Hamiltonian. As in the paper by Ellis et al., we analyze the equivalence of the two ensembles at both the level of equilibrium macrostates and the thermodynamic level. A neat but not quite precise statement of the main result in the present paper is that the microcanonical and generalized canonical ensembles are equivalent at the level of equilibrium macrostates if and only if they are equivalent at the thermodynamic level, which is the case if and only if the generalized microcanonical entropy $s-g$ is concave.

Sentences are aligned between English and Hebrew, both sides include full annotations and the explicit mapping from the English arguments to the Hebrew ones. We train a neural SRL model on this Hebrew resource exploiting the pre-trained multilingual BERT transformer model, and provide the first available baseline model for Hebrew SRL as a reference point. The code we provide is generic and can be adapted to other languages to bootstrap SRL resources.

description: This paper investigates expenditures of food away from home (FAFH) by husband-and-wife households with children, determines the differentiated impacts of economic and demographic variables on FAFH by type of meal and across household types. Using the 2008 and 2009 Consumer Expenditure Survey, the system of expenditures on breakfast, lunch, and dinner is estimated with a multivariate sample selection estimator and results are compared with the Tobit system estimates. Statistical significance of error correlations among equations justifies estimation of the sample selection systems. Differentiated effects of variables on probabilities and expenditure levels highlight advantages of the sample selection system over the Tobit estimator. The effects of demographic and socioeconomic factors are found to vary by type of meal. Income, work hours, race, education, geographical region and household composition are important determinants of FAFH.

description: Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning applications require the training of complex models on large amounts of labelled data. The large computational requirements for training deep models have necessitated the development of new methods for faster training. One such approach is the data parallel approach, where the training data is distributed across multiple compute nodes. This approach is simple to implement and supported by most of the commonly used machine learning frameworks. The data parallel approach leverages MPI for communicating gradients across all nodes. In this paper, we examine the effects of using different physical hardware interconnects and network-related software primitives for enabling data distributed deep learning. We compare the effect of using GPUDirect and NCCL on Ethernet and OmniPath fabrics. Our results show that using Ethernet-based networking in shared HPC systems does not have a significant effect on the training times for commonly used deep neural network architectures or traditional HPC applications such as Computational Fluid Dynamics.

description: Quantum circuits implementing fault-tolerant quantum error correction (QEC) for the three qubit bit-flip code and five-qubit code are studied. To describe the effect of noise, we apply a model based on a generalized effective Hamiltonian where the system-environment interactions are taken into account by including stochastic fluctuating terms in the system Hamiltonian. This noise model enables us to investigate the effect of noise in quantum circuits under realistic device conditions and avoid strong assumptions such as maximal parallelism and weak storage errors. Noise thresholds of the QEC codes are calculated. In addition, the effects of imprecision in projective measurements, collective bath, fault-tolerant repetition protocols, and level of parallelism in circuit constructions on the threshold values are also studied with emphasis on determining the optimal design for the fault-tolerant QEC circuit. These results provide insights into the fault-tolerant QEC process as well as useful information for designing the optimal fault-tolerant QEC circuit for particular physical implementation of quantum computer.

description: This research analyzed the effects of forestland conversion from private to public ownership on greenhouse gas emissions by quantifying the relationship between forestland ownership conversion and deforestation, and then examining the effects of the change in deforestation on greenhouse gas emissions in South Korea. Ex ante simulations forecast greenhouse gas emissions resulting from deforestation rates under the current level of national forestland and three scenarios of increased percentages of national forestland. The findings suggest that increasing the percentage of national forestland would mitigate the increase in the deforestation rate, which in turn would moderate the increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

Fifth force induced by a chameleon field on nested cylinders

description: This article investigates the properties of a scalar fifth force that arises in a scalar tensor-theory with a chameleon screening mechanism in the context of gravity space missions like the MICROSCOPE experiment. In such an experiment, the propagation of the chameleon field inside the nested cylinders of the experiment causes a fifth force when the cylinders are not perfectly co-axial. We propose a semi-analytic method to compute the field distribution and the induced fifth force and compare it to a full numerical simulation, in settings where the cylindrical symmetry is broken. The scaling of the fifth force with both the parameters of the model and the geometry of the experiment is discussed. We show that the fifth force is repulsive, hence adds a destabilizing stiffness that should be included in the force budget acting on the detector. This opens the way to a new method to constrain a scalar fifth force in screened models.

description: We present a new tool for the analysis of the optical emission lines of the gas in the Narrow Line Region (NLR) around Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). This new tool can be used in large samples of objects in a consistent way using different sets of optical emission-lines taking into the account possible variations from the O/H - N/O relation. The code compares certain observed emission-line ratios with the predictions from a large grid of photoionization models calculated under the most usual conditions in the NLR of AGNs to calculate the total oxygen abundance, nitrogen-to-oxygen ratio and ionization parameter. We applied our method to a sample of Seyfert 2 galaxies with optical emission-line fluxes from the literature. Our results confirm the high metallicity of the objects of the sample and provide consistent values with the direct method. The usage of models to calculate precise ICFs is mandatory when only optical emission lines are available to derive chemical abundances using the direct method in NLRs of AGN.
