description: We calculate the branching ratios and polarization fractions of the $B \to a_1 b_1$ decays in the perturbative QCD(pQCD) approach at leading order, where $a_1$($b_1$) stands for the axial-vector $a_1(1260)[b_1(1235)]$ state. By combining the phenomenological analyses with the perturbative calculations, we find the following results: (a) the large decay rates around $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-6}$ of the $B \to a_1 b_1$ decays dominated by the longitudinal polarization(except for the $B^+ \to b_1^+ a_1^0$ mode) are predicted and basically consistent with those in the QCD factorization(QCDF) within errors, which are expected to be tested by the Large Hadron Collider and Belle-II experiments. The large $B^0 \to a_1^0 b_1^0$ branching ratio could provide hints to help explore the mechanism of the color-suppressed decays. (b) the rather different QCD behaviors between the $a_1$ and $b_1$ mesons result in the destructive(constructive) contributions in the nonfactorizable spectator diagrams with $a_1(b_1)$ emission. Therefore, an interesting pattern of the branching ratios appears for the color-suppressed $B^0 \to a_1^0 a_1^0, a_1^0 b_1^0,$ and $b_1^0 b_1^0$ modes in the pQCD approach, $Br(B^0 \to b_1^0 b_1^0) > Br(B^0 \to a_1^0 b_1^0) \gtrsim Br(B^0 \to a_1^0 a_1^0)$, which is different from $Br(B^0 \to b_1^0 b_1^0) \sim Br(B^0 \to a_1^0 b_1^0) \gtrsim Br(B^0 \to a_1^0 a_1^0)$ in the QCDF and would be verified at future experiments. (c) the large naive factorization breaking effects are observed in these $B \to a_1 b_1$ decays. Specifically, the large nonfactorizable spectator(weak annihilation) amplitudes contribute to the $B^0 \to b_1^+ a_1^-(B^+ \to a_1^+ b_1^0\; {\rm and}\; B^+ \to b_1^+ a_1^0)$ mode(s), which demand confirmations via the precise measurements.

EIG - II. Intriguing characteristics of the most extremely isolated galaxies

description: We have selected a sample of 41 extremely isolated galaxies (EIGs) from the local universe using both optical and HI ALFALFA redshifts (Spector & Brosch 2016). Narrow band H$_α$ and wide band imaging along with public data were used to derive star formation rates (SFRs), star formation histories (SFHs), and morphological classifications for the EIGs. We have found that the extreme isolation of the EIGs does not affect considerably their star-formation compared to field galaxies. EIGs are typically `blue cloud' galaxies that fit the `main sequence of star forming galaxies' and may show asymmetric star formation and strong compact star-forming regions. We discovered surprising environmental dependencies of the HI content, M$_{HI}$, and of the morphological type of EIGs; The most isolated galaxies (of subsample EIG-1) have lower M$_{HI}$ on average (with $2.5\,σ$ confidence) and a higher tendency to be early-types (with 0.94 confidence) compared to the less isolated galaxies of subsample EIG-2. To the best of our knowledge this is the first study that finds an effect in which an isolated sample shows a higher fraction of early-types compared to a less isolated sample. Both early-type and late-type EIGs follow the same colour-to-M$_{*}$, SFR-to-M$_{*}$ (`main sequence') and M$_{HI}$-to-$M_{*}$ relations. This indicates that the mechanisms and factors governing star formation, colour and the M$_{HI}$-to-M$_{*}$ relation are similar in early-type and late-type EIGs, and that the morphological type of EIGs is not governed by their M$_{HI}$ content, colour or SFR.

description: The magnetoelectric response in inversion-breaking two dimensional Dirac systems induced by strain is analyzed. It is shown that, in the same way that the piezoelectric response in these materials is related to the valley Chern number, the strain-induced magnetoelectric effect is related both to the non trivial Berry curvature and the derivative of the orbital magnetic moment per valley. This phenomenon allows to locally induce and control charge densities by an external magnetic field in strained zones of the sample.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Large amounts of data are regularly collected by various organizations carrying out their monitoring or research activities on the St. Lawrence ecosystem in response to a common need to better understand, model or predict changes that occur in the environment. However, access to such a wealth of information is often inefficient due to the lack of a common framework that ensures interconnections between organisations, data registries, systems and user interfaces, and the use of recognized standards. The vision behind the St. Lawrence Global Observatory (SLGO) initiative launched in 2005 is to provide efficient Web access to timely and accurate data and information from a network of federal, provincial, academic and community organizations for the sustainable management of the St. Lawrence ecosystem. The synergy created by clustering the means and expertise of the member organizations results in optimizing information dissemination, reducing duplicated efforts and identifying data gaps. It also helps support planning and decision making processes in areas such as public safety, climate change, resource management and conservation. This multidisciplinary and innovative approach is based on Web service development in a service-oriented architecture (SOA) and on access to distributed data assets including a broad range of real-time and archived data as well as modelling, forecasting and operational services. Pilot and demonstration projects lead by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) have allowed a team of programmers and scientists to develop the concept of Web Data Services (WDS), to implement several WDS and to successfully deploy Web-based client applications that exploit them.

description: We present a state-of-the-art N-body code which includes a detailed treatment of stellar and binary evolution as well as the cluster dynamics. This code is ideal for investigating all aspects relating to the evolution of star clusters and their stellar populations. It is applicable to open and globular clusters of any age. We use the N-body code to model the blue straggler population of the old open cluster M67. Preliminary calculations with our binary population synthesis code show that binary evolution alone cannot explain the observed numbers or properties of the blue stragglers. On the other hand, our N-body model of M67 generates the required number of blue stragglers and provides formation paths for all the various types found in M67. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the cluster environment in modifying the nature of the stars it contains and highlights the importance of combining dynamics with stellar evolution. We also perform a series of N = 10000 simulations in order to quantify the rate of escape of stars from a cluster subject to the Galactic tidal field.

description: This paper discusses the need for an adaptive and iterative process for the design of ordinary domestic buildings that meet human needs. The approach described here is to use Pattern Languages as fitness criteria to guide an iterative design optimisation. To complement this, a Form Language for domestic buildings is proposed that is physically buildable, sufficiently flexible, and suitable for evolution through mutation and crossover. This evolutionary method has been implemented as Free Software, and the results are comparable with historical informally constructed buildings.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Face to the lack of data to assess precisely the spatial distribution of catches and fishing effort and for the environmental characterization of the fishing area, Ifremer has been implemented since 2005 a new project, Recopesca. It consists in fitting out a sample of voluntary fishing vessels with sensors recording data on fishing effort (and at mid-terms catches) and physical parameters such as temperature or salinity. Recopesca aims at setting up a network of sensors, for scientific purposes, to collect data allowing improving resources assessment and diagnostics on fisheries, and environmental data required for ecosystem-based management initiatives. The challenge was to develop sensors with no trouble for the fishermen, tough enough to be fixed up on fishing gears, self powered and autonomous. Insofar as the sample of targeted vessels intends to be representative of all the metiers and fleets, the sensors are modular and scalable to collect new data. Different sensors have been implemented: (i) a temperature-salinity sensor, able to record physical parameters, depth and duration of immersion, for passive and active gears, and (ii) a specific sensor to record number or length of passive gears. A GPS monitors the position of the vessels. Each sensor is equipped with a radio device transferring the data to a receiver on-board, called “concentrator” that sends the data to Ifremer central databases by GPRS. An anti-rolling weigh-scale is currently on development to record catches per species and fishing operation. The presentation will show the first data and results of this participative approach.

Abstract: We here discuss Wikidata, a young sister project of Wikipedia but with one big difference: it is a machine readable database, making it far more useful for interoperability of molecular databases in systems biology. Thanks to the Wikidata:WikiProject Chemistry community, there is a growing amount of information about chemical compounds: Wikidata currently has over 150 thousand chemical compounds, of which more than 95% is associated with InChIKeys and has more than 70 thousand CAS registry numbers. Ongoing work by this WikiProject includes capturing chemical classes and chemical compounds in the various Wikipedia’s as machine readable data. We recently reported about ongoing efforts of using Wikidata and Scholia for chemical knowledge.
The Representation of Natural Numbers in Quantum Mechanics

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper represents one approach to making explicit some of the assumptions and conditions implied in the widespread representation of numbers by composite quantum systems. Any nonempty set and associated operations is a set of natural numbers or a model of arithmetic if the set and operations satisfy the axioms of number theory or arithmetic. This work is limited to k-ary representations of length L and to the axioms for arithmetic modulo k^{L}. A model of the axioms is described based on states in and operators on an abstract L fold tensor product Hilbert space H^{arith}. Unitary maps of this space onto a physical parameter based product space H^{phy} are then described. Each of these maps makes states in H^{phy}, and the induced operators, a model of the axioms. Consequences of the existence of many of these maps are discussed along with the dependence of Grover's and Shor's Algorithms on these maps. The importance of the main physical requirement, that the basic arithmetic operations are efficiently implementable, is discussed. This conditions states that there exist physically realizable Hamiltonians that can implement the basic arithmetic operations and that the space-time and thermodynamic resources required are polynomial in L.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Aquaculture sea cages can now be more than 30 meters deep. It has therefore become next to impossible for fish farmers to form a complete picture of the welfare situation of the fish. It is consequently all‐important to develop an automatic system for continuous assessment of fish welfare in sea cages. One such system under development is the Welfaremeter. The Welfaremeter consists of a profiling probe (CTD), a control unit, a database, an expert software program and an internet webpage. The probe measures temperature, oxygen, salinity, fluorescence and turbidity for each half meter downwards in the cage. The control unit determines how often the probe profiles the water column and sends the measurement data via the mobile phone network (GPRS) to a database at The Norwegian Marine Data Centre, Institute of Marine Research. These data are then analysed by the expert software which gives an evaluation of the environmental conditions in the cage as either very good, fair or potentially harmful for the fish. Future versions of the expert software will also give possible reasons for poor environmental conditions and advice for how the farmers, if possible, can remedy the situation or at least diminish harm to the fish. The high density of fish farms in many costal zones means that the Welfaremeter has potential as a future source of data for environmental and fisheries research. The purpose of this talk is to give an insight into the present prototype and how we plan to improve the system further

description: Human activities have greatly increased the input of reactive nitrogen species into the environment and disturbed the balance of the global N cycle. This imbalance may be offset by bacterial denitrification, an important process in maintaining the ecological balance of nitrogen. However, our understanding of the activity of mixotrophic denitrifying bacteria is not complete, as most research has focused on heterotrophic denitrification. The aim of this study was to investigate substrate preferences for two mixotrophic denitrifying bacterial strains, Acidovorax delafieldii and Hydrogenophaga taeniospiralis, under heterotrophic, autotrophic or mixotrophic conditions. This complex analysis was achieved by simultaneous identification and quantification of H₂, O₂, CO₂, ¹⁴N₂, ¹⁵N₂ and ¹⁵N₂O in course of the denitrification process with help of cavity-enhanced Raman spectroscopic (CERS) multi-gas analysis. To disentangle electron donor preferences for both bacterial strains, microcosm-based incubation experiments under varying substrate conditions were conducted. We found that Acidovorax delafieldii preferentially performed heterotrophic denitrification in the mixotrophic sub-experiments, while Hydrogenophaga taeniospiralis preferred autotrophic denitrification in the mixotrophic incubation. These observations were supported by stoichiometric calculations. The results demonstrate the prowess of advanced Raman multi-gas analysis to study substrate use and electron donor preferences in denitrification, based on the comprehensive quantification of complex microbial gas exchange processes.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The collection and management of metadata at sea has become a complex exercise, with a variety of collections going on during the cruise, sometimes simultaneously. Proper at sea collection is essential to ensuring that the descriptive metadata is accurate and preserved for future use. The Habitat Ecology Data Management Group was faced with the daunting task of developing a system to manage a complex, multi instrument, institute and inter departmental project spanning several years. We were required to provide an at sea metadata collection and planning environment as well as act as a resource for metadata from a variety of sources over a four year span. The intent of the project was to study if there are preferential substrates where juvenile haddock were found in a region of the Scotian Shelf. Researchers used a variety of acoustic systems to define substrate. These data were verified using images and grab samples. Species occurrence were determined using imagery, acoustics and traditional trawl survey data. The data management challenge was to provide the resources to compile and be able to provide access to the data throughout the duration of the project. This paper describes the data management approach taken and value added benefits of a strong data management program. The lessons learned have been adopted for several other projects and spawned new developments in support of aspects of the approach where we found deficiencies.

Eccentric Nuclear Disks with Self Gravity: Predictions for the Double Nucleus of M31

description: We present a method for constructing models of weakly self-gravitating, finite dispersion eccentric stellar disks around central black holes. The disk is stationary in a frame rotating at a constant precession speed. The stars populate quasiperiodic orbits whose parents are numerically integrated periodic orbits in the total potential. We approximate the quasiperiodic orbits by distributions of Kepler orbits dispersed in eccentricity and orientation, using an approximate phase space distribution function written in terms of the Kepler integrals of motion. We show an example of a model with properties similar to those of the double nucleus of M31. The properties of our models are primarily determined by the behavior of the periodic orbits. Self-gravity in the disk causes these orbits to assume a characteristic radial eccentricity profile, which gives rise to distinctive multi-peaked line-of-sight velocity distributions (LOSVDs) along lines of sight near the black hole. The multi-peaked features should be observable in M31 at the resolution of STIS. These features provide the best means of identifying an eccentric nuclear disk in M31, and can be used to constrain the disk properties and black hole mass.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The spatial and temporal patterns of larval dispersion provide insights into the interplay between physical and biological processes in the ocean. These insights can guide the understanding of the early life history of a species and can become part of plans to manage and preserve the habitat of a fishery. Tracks for the dispersion of larvae are calculated by running a particle-tracking model on top of an ocean circulation model. The resulting spatial (x, y and z) and temporal (t) data for tens to thousands of larvae are a rich and complex dataset. Visualizing these data interactively in three-dimensions allows scientists to see patterns in the transport, and to explore the vertical and horizontal dispersion of organisms. The tracks of the organisms can be integrated with supporting datasets including water temperatures and salinity or nutrients. A geographic information system (GIS) is an excellent tool for displaying and analyzing these disparate datasets. A GIS allows the viewer to integrate datasets and to rotate the view through three dimensions. GeoFish is a tool for specifying model parameters, running the particle tracking model and analyzing and displaying results. It combines many essential functions into one powerful application making it easier for both sophisticated and novice modelers to rapidly generate and analyze model results

description: The field of the globular cluster M22 (NGC 6656) was monitored between 2000 and 2008 in a search for variable stars. $BV$ light curves were obtained for 359 periodic, likely periodic, and long-term variables, 238 of which are new detections. Thirty nine newly detected variables, and 63 previously known ones are members or likely members of the cluster, including 20 SX Phe, 10 RRab and 16 RRc-type pulsators, one BL Her-type pulsator, 21 contact binaries, and 9 detached or semi-detached eclipsing binaries. The most interesting among the identified objects are V112 - a bright multimode SX Phe pulsator, V125 - a $β$ Lyr-type binary on the blue horizontal branch, V129 - a blue/yellow straggler with a W UMa-like light curve, located halfway between the extreme horizontal branch and red giant branch, and V134 - an extreme horizontal branch object with $P=2.33$ d and a nearly sinusoidal light curve; all four of them are proper motion (PM) members of the cluster. Among nonmembers, a $P=2.83$ d detached eclipsing binary hosting a $δ$ Sct-type pulsator was found, and a peculiar $P=0.93$ d binary with ellipsoidal modulation and narrow minimum in the middle of one of the descending shoulders of the sinusoid. We also collected substantial new data for previously known variables; in particular we revise the statistics of the occurrence of the Blazhko effect in RR Lyr-type variables of M22.

description: In situ asbestos in the built environment is a remaining source of exposure in countries that have prohibited the manufacture and use of asbestos. However, it is difficult to identify in situ asbestos-containing material in residential settings. The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of the mobile phone application (“app”), ACM Check, in identifying in situ asbestos located inside and outside of homes compared with onsite inspections conducted by an experienced environmental consultant. A cross-sectional study was undertaken that involved participants completing ACM Check on their homes built pre-1990 and located throughout metropolitan Perth, Western Australia, and an onsite inspection conducted at each home by an environmental consultant. Cohen’s kappa statistic was calculated to evaluate the strength of agreement between the two methods. The 40 houses sampled were built between 1898 and 1988 with a median year of 1966. Thirty-eight (95%) homes had at least one type of material categorized as positive for asbestos by both ACM Check and the environmental consultant (κ = 1.00). Agreement between the two methods differed when categorizing specific materials as positive or negative for asbestos with substantial agreement for fencing (κ = 0.918), outbuilding walls (κ = 0.844), backing board to electrical meter box (κ = 0.826), exterior wall cladding (κ = 0.771), and interior walls (κ = 0.754), and fair agreement for outbuilding roofs (κ = 0.375) and interior flooring (κ = 0.304). ACM Check is a tool that can be used by tradespeople, home renovators, and householders to screen residential settings for the presence of in situ asbestos-containing material. Mobile phone apps have the potential to be developed or modified for use in other countries to help users identify asbestos and reduce their risk of asbestos exposure.

These constraints are associated with half of the bosonic generators of the super $\left( W_{\infty \over 2}\oplus W_{{1+\infty}\over 2}\right)$ algebra. The simplest constraint $(s=4)$ is shown to be reducible to the super Virasoro constraints, previously used to construct the model. All results hold for finite $N$.

description: The atomic numbers and the masses of fragments formed in quasi-fission reactions have been simultaneously measured at scission in 48 Ti + 238 U reactions at a laboratory energy of 286 MeV. The atomic numbers were determined from measured characteristic fluorescence X-rays whereas the masses were obtained from the emission angles and times of flight of the two emerging fragments. For the first time, thanks to this full identification of the quasi-fission fragments on a broad angular range, the important role of the proton shell closure at Z = 82 is evidenced by the associated maximum production yield, a maximum predicted by time dependent Hartree-Fock calculations. This new experimental approach gives now access to precise studies of the time dependence of the N/Z (neutron over proton ratios of the fragments) evolution in quasi-fission reactions.

A Search for CO in the Local Group Dwarf Irregular Galaxy WLM

description: We present 12CO J = 1-0 and J = 2-1 observations of the low metallicity (12 + log(O/H) = 7.74) Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy WLM made with the 15 m SEST and 14 m FCRAO telescopes. Despite the presence a number of HII regions, we find no CO emission. We obtain low upper limits on the integrated intensity (I(CO) >= 0.18 K km/s for CO (1-0)). The non-detection is consistent with the result of Taylor, Kobulnicky and Skillman (1998), that dwarf galaxies below a metallicity of ~ 7.9 are not detected in CO emission. WLM shows that this trend continues for low metallicity galaxies even as their metallicities approach 7.9. These results are consistent with the models of the metal poor ISM by Norman and Spaans (1997). By comparing our CO data with observations of star formation in WLM, we find evidence for a high CO to H$_2$ conversion factor.

description: The velocity field of the nearly face-on galaxy NGC 3631, derived from observations in the H alpha line and the HI radio line, is analysed to study perturbations related to the spiral structure of the galaxy. We confirm our previous conclusion that the line-of-sight velocity field gives evidence of the wave nature of the observed two-armed spiral structure. Fourier analysis of the observed velocity field is used to determine the location of corotation of the spiral structure of this galaxy, and the radius of corotation R_c is found to be about 42 arcsec, or 3.2 kpc. The vector velocity field of the gas in the plane of the disc is restored, and taking into account that we previously investigated vertical motions, we now have a full 3D gaseous velocity field of the galaxy. We show clear evidence of the existence of two anticyclonic and four cyclonic vortices near corotation in a frame of reference rotating with the spiral pattern. The centres of the anticyclones lie between the observed spiral arms. The cyclones lie close to the observed spirals, but their centres are shifted from the maxima in brightness.

An infinite family of 3d Floquet topological paramagnets

description: We uncover an infinite family of time-reversal symmetric 3d interacting topological insulators of bosons or spins, in time-periodically driven systems, which we term Floquet topological paramagnets (FTPMs). These FTPM phases exhibit intrinsically dynamical properties that could not occur in thermal equilibrium, and are governed by an infinite set of $Z_2$-valued topological invariants, one for each prime number. The topological invariants are physically characterized by surface magnetic domain walls that act as unidirectional quantum channels, transferring quantized packets of information during each driving period. We construct exactly solvable models realizing each of these phases, and discuss the anomalous dynamics of their topologically protected surface states. Unlike previous encountered examples of Floquet SPT phases, these 3d FTPMs are not captured by group cohomology methods, and cannot be obtained from equilibrium classifications simply by treating the discrete time-translation as an ordinary symmetry. The simplest such FTPM phase can feature anomalous $Z_2$ (toric code) surface topological order, in which the gauge electric and magnetic excitations are exchanged in each Floquet period, which cannot occur in a pure 2d system without breaking time reversal symmetry.

description: In the present study, we select the Sylysia 350 (Sylysia) as mesoporous material, distearoylphosphatidylethanolamine-poly(ethylene glycol)2000 (DSPE-PEG) as absorption enhancer and hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) as crystallization inhibitor to prepare sorafenib tosylate (SFN) nanomitrix (MSNM@SFN) for improving the anti-tumor activity of SFN. The MSNM@SFN was prepared by solvent evaporation method. The solubility, dissolution, and bioavailability of SFN in MSNM@SFN were also investigated. The anti-tumor activity of MSNM@SFN was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Our results indicated that the solubility and dissolution of SFN in MSNM@SFN were significantly increased. The oral bioavailability of SFN in MSNM@SFN was greatly improved 7.7-fold compared with that in SFN suspension. The enhanced anti-tumor activity of MSNM@SFN was confirmed in vitro and in vivo experiments. This nanomatrix developed in this study could be a promising drug delivery platform for improving the therapeutic efficacy of poorly water-soluble drugs.

description: Maternal mortality due to cardiovascular disease is a rising concern in the U.S. Pregnancy triggers changes in the circulatory system, potentially influencing the structure of the central vasculature. Evidence suggests a link between a woman's pregnancy history and future cardiovascular health, but our understanding remains limited. To fill this gap, we examined the passive mechanics of the murine ascending thoracic aorta during late gestation. By performing biaxial mechanical testing on the ascending aorta, we were able to characterize the mechanical properties of both control and late-gestation tissues. By examining mechanical, structural, and geometric properties, we confirmed that a remodeling of the aortic wall occurred. Morphological and mechanical properties of the tissue indicated an outward expansion of the tissue, as reflected in changes in wall thickness (~ 12% increase) and luminal diameter (~ 6% increase) at its physiologically loaded state in the pregnant group. With these geometric adaptations and despite increased hemodynamic loads, pregnancy did not induce significant changes in the tensile wall stress at the similar physiological pressure levels of the pregnant and control tissues. The geometric alterations also included reduced intrinsic stiffness in the circumferential direction (~ 18 %) and reduced structural stiffness (~ 26 %) in the pregnant group. The observed vascular remodeling maintained the elastic stored energy of the aortic wall under systolic loads, indicating preservation of vascular function. Data from our study of pregnancy-related vascular remodeling will provide valuable insights for future investigations of maternal cardiovascular health.

description: In this work, we shall analyze the effects of quantum fluctuations on the properties of a BTZ black hole, in a massive theory of gravity. We will analyze this for a charged BTZ black hole in asymptotically AdS and dS space-times. The quantum fluctuations would produce thermal fluctuations in the thermodynamics of this BTZ black hole. As these fluctuations would become relevant at a sufficiently small scale, we shall discuss the effects of such thermal fluctuations on the entropy of a small charged BTZ black. We shall also analyze the effects of these fluctuations on the stability of such a black hole.

More on $(4,4)$ supermultiplets in $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ harmonic superspace

description: We define the $SU(2)\times SU(2)$ harmonic superspace analogs of tensor and nonlinear $(4,4)$, $2D$ supermultiplets. They are described by constrained analytic superfields and provide an off-shell formulation of a class of torsionful $(4,4)$ supersymmetric sigma models with abelian translational isometries on the bosonic target. We examine their relation to $(4,4)$ twisted multiplets and discuss different types of $(4,4)$ dualities associated with them. One of these dualities implies the standard abelian $T$-duality relations between the bosonic targets in the initial and dual sigma model actions. We show that $N=4$, $2D$ superconformal group admits a simple realization on the superfields introduced, and present a new superfield form of the $(4,4)$ $SU(2)\times U(1)$ WZNW action.
