description: Uranomys Dollman, 1909. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 4:551. TYPE SPECIES: Uranomys ruddi Dollman, 1909. COMMENTS: Allen (1939) listed seven species of Uranomys but noted that six of them would probably prove to be subspecies of U. ruddi, which is how the genus is currently treated (Verheyen, 1964b). In external, cranial, and dental traits, Uranomys is closely related to Acomys (Hinton, 1921; Misonne, 1969), a phylogenetic alliance also supported by DNA (LINE) sequence analyses (Pascale et al., 1990), and Lophuromys (our studies; Watts, in litt.; Denys and Michaux, 1992).

Enhanced-sensitivity interferometry with phase-sensitive unbiased multiports

description: Here we introduce interferometric devices by combining optical feedback (cavities) with unbiased multiports, which unlike traditional beam dividers, allow light to reflect back out of the port from which it originated. By replacing the traditional, directionally-biased beam-splitter in a Michelson interferometer with an unbiased multiport, the functional dependence of the scattering amplitudes changes. As a result, the derivative of transmittance with respect to an external phase perturbation can be made substantially large. This significantly enhances the resolution of phase measurement, and allows the phase response curves to be altered in real time by tuning an externally-controllable phase shift.

description: The 'WIMP miracle' for the relic abundance of thermal dark matter motivates weak scale dark matter with renormalizable couplings to standard model particles. We study minimal models with such couplings that explain dark matter as a thermal relic. The models contain a singlet dark matter particle with cubic renormalizable couplings between standard model particles and 'partner' particles with the same gauge quantum numbers as the standard model particle. The dark matter has spin 0, 1/2, or 1, and may or may not be its own antiparticle. Each model has 3 parameters: the masses of the dark matter and standard model partners, and the cubic coupling. Requiring the correct relic abundance gives a 2-dimensional parameter space where collider and direct detection constraints can be directly compared. We focus on the case of dark matter interactions with colored particles. We find that collider and direct detection searches are remarkably complementary for these models. Direct detection limits for the cases where the dark matter is not its own antiparticle require dark matter masses to be in the multi-TeV range, where they are extremely difficult to probe in collider experiments. The models where dark matter is its own antiparticle are strongly constrained by collider searches for monojet and jets + MET signals. These models are constrained by direct detection mainly near the limit where the dark matter and partner masses are nearly degenerate, where collider searches become more difficult.

Towards experimental tests and applications of Lieb-Robinson bounds

description: Spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy is identified as a suitable experimental technique to investigate the quantitative quality of Lieb-Robinson bounds on the signal velocity. The latest, most general bound is simplified and it is shown that there is a discrepancy by a factor of approximately 4 between the corresponding limit speed and some estimated exact velocities in atomic spin chains. The observed discrepancy facilitates conclusions for a further mathematical improvement of Lieb-Robinson bounds. The real signal propagation can be modified with several experimental parameters from which the bounds are independent. This enables the application of Lieb-Robinson bounds as upper limits on the enhancement of the real signal speed for information transport in spintronic devices.

description: Abstract
This study aimed to develop a psychological well-being scale for students using Rasch analysis. The research involved 789 eligible participants aged 13-17 from East Java. The study found that gender, culture, individual maturity development, and assistance provided significantly impact students' psychological well-being. The study concluded that these factors are critical to ensuring the effectiveness of any intervention. The use of Rasch analysis enabled the researchers to identify the essential psychometric properties of the scale, making it a reliable tool for assessing students' psychological well-being. Overall, the study provides valuable insights into the factors that affect students' psychological well-being and can help develop effective interventions. The findings of this study have significant implications for educators and mental health professionals who work with young people. By addressing the critical factors identified in this research, they can provide better support to students and help improve their psychological well-being.

description: We introduce and characterize various gluing constructions for residuated lattices that intersect on a common subreduct, and which are subalgebras, or appropriate subreducts, of the resulting structure. Starting from the 1-sum construction (also known as ordinal sum for residuated structures), where algebras that intersect only in the top element are glued together, we first consider the gluing on a congruence filter, and then add a lattice ideal as well. We characterize such constructions in terms of (possibly partial) operators acting on (possibly partial) residuated structures. As particular examples of gluing constructions, we obtain the non-commutative version of some rotation constructions, and an interesting variety of semilinear residuated lattices that are 2-potent. This study also serves as a first attempt toward the study of amalgamation of non-commutative residuated lattices, by constructing an amalgam in the special case where the common subalgebra in the V-formation is either a special (congruence) filter or the union of a filter and an ideal.

Reconstruction of the primordial power spectrum of curvature perturbations using multiple data sets

description: Detailed knowledge of the primordial power spectrum of curvature perturbations is essential both in order to elucidate the physical mechanism (`inflation') which generated it, and for estimating the cosmological parameters from observations of the cosmic microwave background and large-scale structure. Hence it ought to be extracted from such data in a model-independent manner, however this is difficult because relevant cosmological observables are given by a convolution of the primordial perturbations with some smoothing kernel which depends on both the assumed world model and the matter content of the universe. Moreover the deconvolution problem is ill-conditioned so a regularisation scheme must be employed to control error propagation. We demonstrate that `Tikhonov regularisation' can robustly reconstruct the primordial spectrum from multiple cosmological data sets, a significant advantage being that both its uncertainty and resolution are then quantified. Using Monte Carlo simulations we investigate several regularisation parameter selection methods and find that generalised cross-validation and Mallow's $C_p$ method give optimal results. We apply our inversion procedure to data from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, other ground-based small angular scale CMB experiments, and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The reconstructed spectrum (assuming the standard $Λ$CDM cosmology) is \emph{not} scale-free but has an infrared cutoff at $k \lesssim 5 \times 10^{-4}\; \mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ (due to the anomalously low CMB quadrupole) and several features with $\sim 2 σ$ significance at $k/\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1} \sim$ 0.0013--0.0025, 0.0362--0.0402 and 0.051--0.056, reflecting the `WMAP glitches'. To test whether these are indeed real will require more accurate data, such as from the Planck satellite and new ground-based experiments.

description: We study the p-fine topology on complete metric spaces equipped with a doubling measure supporting a p-Poincare inequality, 1 < p< oo. We establish a weak Cartan property, which yields characterizations of the p-thinness and the p-fine continuity, and allows us to show that the p-fine topology is the coarsest topology making all p-superharmonic functions continuous. Our p-harmonic and superharmonic functions are defined by means of scalar-valued upper gradients and do not rely on a vector-valued differentiable structure.

description: We are carrying out a large ancillary program with the SDSS-III, using the fiber-fed multi-object NIR APOGEE spectrograph, to obtain high-resolution H-band spectra of more than 1200 M dwarfs. These observations are used to measure spectroscopic rotational velocities, radial velocities, physical stellar parameters, and variability of the target stars. Here, we describe the target selection for this survey and results from the first year of scientific observations based on spectra that is publicly available in the SDSS-III DR10 data release. As part of this paper we present RVs and vsini of over 200 M dwarfs, with a vsini precision of ~2 km/s and a measurement floor at vsini = 4 km/s. This survey significantly increases the number of M dwarfs studied for vsini and RV variability (at ~100-200 m/s), and will advance the target selection for planned RV and photometric searches for low mass exoplanets around M dwarfs, such as HPF, CARMENES, and TESS. Multiple epochs of radial velocity observations enable us to identify short period binaries, and AO imaging of a subset of stars enables the detection of possible stellar companions at larger separations. The high-resolution H-band APOGEE spectra provide the opportunity to measure physical stellar parameters such as effective temperatures and metallicities for many of these stars. At the culmination of this survey, we will have obtained multi-epoch spectra and RVs for over 1400 stars spanning spectral types of M0-L0, providing the largest set of NIR M dwarf spectra at high resolution, and more than doubling the number of known spectroscopic vsini values for M dwarfs. Furthermore, by modeling telluric lines to correct for small instrumental radial velocity shifts, we hope to achieve a relative velocity precision floor of 50 m/s for bright M dwarfs. We present preliminary results of this telluric modeling technique in this paper.

description: Nonextensive formalism is a generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics. In this formalism the entropic index q is a quantity characterizing the degree of nonextensivity, and is interpreted as a parameter of long-memory or long-range interactions between the components of the system. Since its proposition in 1988, this formalism has been applied to investigate a wide variety of natural phenomena. In stellar astrophysics, theoretical distribution function based on nonextensive formalism (q-distributions) has been successfully applied to reproduce the distribution of stellar radial and rotational velocity data. In this paper, we investigate the time variation of the entropic index q obtained from the distribution of rotation, Vsini, for a sample of 254 rotational data for solar-type stars from 11 open clusters aged between 35.5Myr and 2.6Gyr. As a result, we have found an anti-correlation between the entropic index q and the age of clusters, and that the distribution of rotation Vsini for these stars becomes extensive for an age greater than about 170Myr. Assuming that the parameter q is associated with long-memory effects, we suggest that the memory of the initial angular momentum of solar-type stars can be scaled by the entropic index q. We also propose a physical link between the parameter q and the magnetic braking of stellar rotation.

The Impact of Mentorship on the Research Performance of LIS PhDs

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: The findings of our study suggest that the doctoral mentorship relationship may play a significant role in student research performance in terms of both output and impact. The models explain 5% of the variance in productivity and 23% of the variance in impact, which indicates that while choosing the right advisor may positively influence one’s academic achievements, that decision alone does not tend to make or break one’s research career. The doctoral experience cannot be reduced to the advisor-advisee relationship. Additional factors, such as evolving in an intellectually stimulating environment, affect performance – more in fact than the quality and frequency of one-to-one interactions with advisors. These different degrees of mentorship relationships, such as coordination, cooperation, and collaboration, are not captured in our data. The results also suggest that providing co-authorship opportunities may be a good way for advisors to support their advisees, as it helps increase their research output and impact. Collaboration may be facilitated by students sharing research interests with their advisors, as suggested by the positive relationship between productivity and the similarity of the PhD dissertation and the advisor’s past work. The benefits of working closely with one’s advisor can conflict with the importance of establishing one’s independence as a researcher. Giving students the liberty to diversify their research interests may ultimately provide greater career advantages as they evolve in their careers.

description: Uromys hadrourus (Winter, 1983). In The Australian Museum Complete Book of Australian Mammals (R. Strahan, ed.), p. 379. TYPE LOCALITY: Australia, NE Queensland, Thornton Peak summit area, 1200 m (see Winter, 1984, for additional data). DISTRIBUTION: Known only by five specimens (Groves and Flannery, in litt.) from rainforest on Mareeba Franite of the Thornton Peak massif (Winter, 1983, 1984). COMMENTS: Subgenus Uromys. Originally described as a species of Melomys, Groves and Flannery (in litt.) have shown that hadrourus belongs in Uromys and is closely related to U. caudimaculatus. U. hadrourus is a member of a group of species that are endemic to "the Townsville to Cooktown region, and considered to be relicts of a wet- and cool-adapted fauna which may have orinigated in Australia from a common pre-Pleisocene stock of Australia and New Guinea " (Winter, 1984:525). Chromosomal morphology reported by Baverstock et al. (1977c). McAllan and Bruce (1989) explained why 1983 is the publication date for hadrourus instead of 1984 as is usually accepted, and pointed out that the species was first given the name Melanomys hadrourus. That generic name is preoccupied by Melanomys Thomas, 1902.

description: Ketogenic dietary interventions (KDIs) are beneficial in animal models of autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). KETO-ADPKD, an exploratory, randomized, controlled trial, is intended to provide clinical translation of these findings (NCT04680780). Sixty-six patients were randomized to a KDI arm (ketogenic diet [KD] or water fasting [WF]) or the control group. Both interventions induce significant ketogenesis on the basis of blood and breath acetone measurements. Ninety-five percent (KD) and 85% (WF) report the diet as feasible. KD leads to significant reductions in body fat and liver volume. Additionally, KD is associated with reduced kidney volume (not reaching statistical significance). Interestingly, the KD group exhibits improved kidney function at the end of treatment, while the control and WF groups show a progressive decline, as is typical in ADPKD. Safety-relevant events are largely mild, expected (initial flu-like symptoms associated with KD), and transient. Safety assessment is complemented by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) lipid profile analyses.

description: Introduction The chemokines Stromal Cell-Derived Factor-1 alpha (SDF-1 alpha/CXCL12) and Monocyte Chemotactic Protein-1 (MCP-1/CCL2) have been implicated in breast cancer progression. We recently reported elevated systemic MCP-1 in breast cancer patients. This study investigated circulating levels of SDF-1 alpha in breast cancer patients, and addressed potential hormonal regulation of these two potent chemokines. Methods SDF-1 alpha levels were determined by ELISA in 114 breast cancer patients and 85 controls, and correlated with clinical data. Blood samples were collected from 36 healthy premenopausal volunteers weekly for four weeks to measure Luteinising Hormone (LH), Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Oestradiol and Progesterone using a Bayer ADVIA(A (R)) Centaur Immunoassay system, in parallel with SDF-1 alpha and MCP-1. CXCL12 expression was determined using RQ-PCR in primary tumour stromal cells (n = 16) harvested at surgery. Results Plasma SDF-1 alpha was significantly higher in breast cancer patients than age-matched controls and had a significant correlation with tumour grade and epithelial subtype. Investigation of menstrual variations of these chemokines revealed lower SDF-1 alpha levels in the mid-luteal phase of the menstrual cycle and a significant positive correlation with circulating Oestradiol. MCP-1 levels showed no correlation with menstrual hormones. There was a trend towards increased CXCL12 expression in tumour compared to normal stromal cells. Conclusions The elevated level of SDF-1 alpha detected in breast cancer patients, and it's correlation with prognostic indicators, highlights the importance of this chemokine in disease progression. Elucidation of factors influencing chemokine secretion supports clarification of their role in tumourigenesis.

description: Particular diagnostic tools may isolate the signature left on the oscillation frequencies by the presence of a small convective core. Their frequency derivative is expected to provide information about convective core's properties and stellar age. The main goal of this work is to study the potential of the diagnostic tools with regards to the inference of stellar age and stellar core's properties. For that, we computed diagnostic tools and their frequency derivatives from the oscillation frequencies of main-sequence models with masses between 1.0 and $1.6\,{\rm\,M}_{\odot}$ and with different physics. We considered the dependence of the diagnostic tools on stellar age and on the size of the relative discontinuity in the squared sound speed at the edge of the convectively unstable region. We find that the absolute value of the frequency derivatives of the diagnostic tools increases as the star evolves on the main sequence. The fraction of stellar main-sequence evolution for models with masses $>1.2\,{\rm\,M}_{\odot}$ may be estimated from the frequency derivatives of two of the diagnostic tools. For lower mass models, constraints on the convective core's overshoot can potentially be derived based on the analysis of the same derivatives. For at least 35 per cent of our sample of stellar models the frequency derivative of the diagnostic tools takes its maximum absolute value on the frequency range where observed oscillations may be expected.

title: Developments in fish detection using broadband acoustic doppler current profiler
Creators: name: Dunn, Muriel
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland

description: Acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) are the standard instrument used
 to monitor ocean currents. These instruments also detect signals scattered by fish
 and other organisms, but these signals are normally treated as noise and rejected
 by ADCP data processing techniques. Those rejected signals do however contain
 information on fish movement providing an opportunity to extend the application of
 ADCP technology. The added capability of the ADCP offers a monitoring tool for
 fish activity and presence in areas that may be impacted by future in-stream hydro
 energy development projects. We explore this capability through two deployments, 37
 days and 28 days, of a self-contained bottom-mounted frame equipped with a 600 kHz
 RD Instruments Workhorse ADCP alongside a 120 kHz BioSonics DTX Submersible
 Split-Beam Echosounder system. The deployments took place in Grand Passage,
 Nova Scotia, a tidal channel that has the potential for in-stream tidal generation. The
 split-beam echosounder’s dataset shows plumes of scatterers, presumably entrained
 air, emanating from the surface. Discrete fish targets were detected throughout the
 water column within dense schools and as individuals. The corresponding ADCP data
 detects the same fish schools by using coincident incidences of high intensity and high
 signal correlation. A common problem for fish detection in high energy tidal channels
 is entrained air (i.e. bubbles plumes). I show that fish can be differentiated from
 entrained air using a high signal correlation threshold with the broadband ADCP.
 This thesis presents results from both instruments and contrasts their capabilities in
 the context of fish monitoring in high-energy tidal channels.

description: Atmospheric temperatures are to be estimated from thermal emission spectra of Earth-like exoplanets orbiting M-stars as observed by current and future planned missions. To this end, a line-by-line radiative transfer code is used to generate synthetic thermal infrared (TIR) observations. The range of 'observed' intensities provides a rough hint of the atmospheric temperature range without any a priori knowledge. The equivalent brightness temperature (related to intensities by Planck's function) at certain wavenumbers can be used to estimate the atmospheric temperature at corresponding altitudes. To exploit the full information provided by the measurement we generalize Chahine's original approach and infer atmospheric temperatures from all spectral data using the wavenumber-to-altitude mapping defined by the weighting functions. Chahine relaxation allows an iterative refinement of this 'first guess'. Analysis of the 4.3μm and 15μm carbon dioxide TIR bands enables an estimate of atmospheric temperatures for rocky exoplanets even for low signal to noise ratios of 10 and medium resolution. Inference of Trappist-1e temperatures is, however, more challenging especially for CO2 dominated atmospheres: the 'standard' 4.3μm and 15μm regions are optically thick and an extension of the spectral range towards atmospheric window regions is important. If atmospheric composition (essentially CO2 concentration) is known temperatures can be estimated remarkably well, quality measures such as the residual norm provide hints on incorrect abundances. In conclusion, temperature in the mid atmosphere of Earth-like planets orbiting cooler stars can be quickly estimated from thermal IR emission spectra with moderate resolution.

description: The well-established Type Ia remnant of Tycho's supernova (SN 1572) reveals discrepant ambient medium density estimates based on either the measured dynamics or on the X-ray emission properties. This discrepancy can potentially be solved by assuming that the supernova remnant (SNR) shock initially moved through a stellar wind bubble, but is currently evolving in the uniform interstellar medium with a relatively low density. We investigate this scenario by combining hydrodynamical simulations of the wind-loss phase and the supernova remnant evolution with a coupled X-ray emission model, which includes non-equilibrium ionization. For the explosion models we use the well-known W7 deflagration model and the delayed detonation model that was previously shown to provide good fits to the X-ray emission of Tycho's SNR. Our simulations confirm that a uniform ambient density cannot simultaneously reproduce the dynamical and X-ray emission properties of Tycho. In contrast, models that considered that the remnant was evolving in a dense, but small, wind bubble reproduce reasonably well both the measured X-ray emission spectrum and the expansion parameter of Tycho's SNR. Finally, we discuss possible mass loss scenarios in the context of single- and double-degenerate models which possible could form such a small dense wind bubble.

Two-component Dirac-like Hamiltonian for generating quantum walk on one-, two- and three-dimensional lattices

description: From the unitary operator used for implementing two-state discrete-time quantum walk on one-, two- and three- dimensional lattice we obtain a two-component Dirac-like Hamiltonian. In particular, using different pairs of Pauli basis as position translation states we obtain three different form of Hamiltonians for evolution on one-dimensional lattice. We extend this to two- and three-dimensional lattices using different Pauli basis states as position translation states for each dimension and show that the external coin operation, which is necessary for one-dimensional walk is not a necessary requirement for a walk on higher dimensions but can serve as an additional resource to control the dynamics. The two-component Hamiltonian we present here for quantum walk on different lattices can serve as a general framework to simulate, control, and study the dynamics of quantum systems governed by Dirac-like Hamiltonian.

description: We have performed density functional theory (DFT) calculations using the linearized augmented plane wave method (LAPW) with the local density approximation (LDA) functional to study the electronic structure of the iron-based superconductor Iron-Selenium (FeSe). In our study, we have performed a comprehensive set of calculations involving structural, atomic, and spin configurations. All calculations were executed using the tetragonal lead-oxide or P4/nmm structure, with various volumes, c/a ratios and internal parameters. Furthermore, we investigated the spin polarization using the LDA functional to assess ferromagnetism in this material. The paramagnetic LDA calculations find the equilibrium configuration of FeSe in the P4/nmm structure to have a volume of 472.5au$^3$ with a c/a ratio of 1.50 and internal parameter of 0.255, with the ferromagnetic having comparable results to the paramagnetic case. In addition, we calculated total energies for FeSe using a pseudopotential method, and found comparable results to the LAPW calculations. Superconductivity calculations were done using the Gaspari-Gyorffy and the McMillan formalism and found substantial electron-phonon coupling. Under pressure, our calculations show that the superconductivity critical temperature continues to rise, but underestimates the measured values.
