description: We investigate superconducting quantum interference devices consisting of two highly transmissive Josephson junctions coupled by a superconducting loop, all defined in an epitaxial InAs/Al heterostructure. A novel device design allows for independent measurements of the Andreev bound state spectrum within the normal region of a junction and the resulting current-phase relation. We show that knowledge of the Andreev bound state spectrum alone is enough to derive the independently measured phase dependent supercurrent. On the other hand, the opposite relation does not generally hold true as details of the energy spectrum are averaged out in a critical current measurement. Finally, quantitative understanding of field dependent spectrum and supercurrent require taking into account the second junction in the loop and the kinetic inductance of the epitaxial Al film.

Using Gaia for studying Milky Way star clusters

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We review the implications of the Gaia Data Release 2 catalogue for studying the dynamics of Milky Way globular clusters, focusing on two separate topics. The first one is the analysis of the full 6-dimensional phase-space distribution of the entire population of Milky Way globular clusters: their mean proper motions (PM) can be measured with an exquisite precision (down to 0.05 mas/yr, including systematic errors). Using these data, and a suitable ansatz for the steady-state distribution function (DF) of the cluster population, we then determine simultaneously the best-fit parameters of this DF and the total Milky Way potential. We also discuss possible correlated structures in the space of integrals of motion. The second topic addresses the internal dynamics of a few dozen of the closest and richest globular clusters, again using the Gaia PM to measure the velocity dispersion and internal rotation, with a proper treatment of spatially correlated systematic errors. Clear rotation signatures are detected in 10 clusters, and a few more show weaker signatures at a level >=0.05$ mas/yr. PM dispersion profiles can be reliably measured down to 0.1 mas/yr, and agree well with the line-of-sight velocity dispersion profiles from the literature.

Remarks. Dennys (1880a) first reported H. viperinus from Singapore in a newspaper article where he provided a checklist of Singapore’s snakes based on specimens at the Raffles Museum. However, Blanford (1881) did not include it in his list of specimens examined. In fact, H. viperinus does not appear on any list for Singapore again until Lim & Lee (1989), but they did not reference any reported observations or museum specimens. Presumably, they allude to Voris and Jeffries specimens collected from around Horsburgh Lighthouse on Pedra Branca and six from the Kangkar Fish Market from the South China Sea which we ignore (refer to “A note on sea snakes in Singapore ” above). As there are no confirmed records of H. viperinus from Singapore, we choose to classify its status in Singapore as uncertain.

Improving Semantic Segmentation of Aerial Images Using Patch-based Attention

description: The trade-off between feature representation power and spatial localization accuracy is crucial for the dense classification/semantic segmentation of aerial images. High-level features extracted from the late layers of a neural network are rich in semantic information, yet have blurred spatial details; low-level features extracted from the early layers of a network contain more pixel-level information, but are isolated and noisy. It is therefore difficult to bridge the gap between high and low-level features due to their difference in terms of physical information content and spatial distribution. In this work, we contribute to solve this problem by enhancing the feature representation in two ways. On the one hand, a patch attention module (PAM) is proposed to enhance the embedding of context information based on a patch-wise calculation of local attention. On the other hand, an attention embedding module (AEM) is proposed to enrich the semantic information of low-level features by embedding local focus from high-level features. Both of the proposed modules are light-weight and can be applied to process the extracted features of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Experiments show that, by integrating the proposed modules into the baseline Fully Convolutional Network (FCN), the resulting local attention network (LANet) greatly improves the performance over the baseline and outperforms other attention based methods on two aerial image datasets.

description: The shear free condition is studied for dissipative relativistic self-gravitating fluids in the quasi-static approximation. It is shown that, in the Newtonian limit, such condition implies the linear homology law for the velocity of a fluid element, only if homology conditions are further imposed on the temperature and the emission rate. It is also shown that the shear-free plus the homogeneous expansion rate conditions are equivalent (in the Newtonian limit) to the homology conditions. Deviations from homology and their prospective applications to some astrophysical scenarios are discussed, and a model is worked out.

Remarks. Zhao & Adler (1993) listed Singapore as part of the distribution for I. albiceps, but do not provide where they obtain the record from. Wallach & Pauwels (2004) stated that this record may have been based on Grandison (1978) who did not specifically list Singapore as a locality for I. albiceps, but included it in her checklist of snakes of Peninsular Malaysia. Nevertheless, Wallach et al. (2014) also added Singapore in their distribution for I. albiceps, perhaps based on specimen BMNH 1983.958–960 which was collected by Barnett at Royal Airforce Station Seletar. As far as we are aware, BMNH 1983.958–960 has not been examined nor is it represented in any publications, and we were unable to inspect the specimen to verify its identity. Given that I. albiceps ranges from southern Myanmar east to Thailand and Hong Kong, and south to Peninsular Malaysia, that it is an extremely rare species (Wallach et al. 2014), and is only known from one specimen in Singapore, we consider its status in Singapore as uncertain.

description: This paper studies the tracking control problem of nonlinear networked and quantized control systems (NQCSs) with communication delays. The desired trajectory is generated by a reference system. The communication network is to guarantee the information transmission among the plant, the reference system and the controller. The communication network also brings about some undesired issues like time-varying transmission intervals, time-varying transmission delays, packet dropouts, scheduling and quantization effects, which lead to non-vanishing network-induced errors and affect the tracking performances. As a result, we develop a general hybrid system model for NQCSs with all aforementioned issues. Based on the Lyapunov approach, sufficient conditions are established to guarantee the stability of the tracking error with respect to the non-vanishing network-induced errors. The obtained conditions lead to a tradeoff between the maximally allowable transmission interval and the maximally allowable delay. Furthermore, the existence of Lyapunov functions satisfying the obtained conditions is studied. For specific time-scheduling protocols (e.g., Round-Robin protocol and Try-Once-Discard protocol) and quantizers (e.g., zoom quantizer and box quantizer), Lyapunov functions are constructed explicitly. Finally, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the developed theory.

This model provides a system solution to the problem of turbomachine row improvement. The improvement methodology, comprising a combination of matched methods, satisfies the basic principles of the system problem solution architecture. Calculation results are presented from an integrated computational study of the aerodynamic efficiency of prospective air engine compressor blade rows. The use of simplified mathematical models, effective numerical methods, and a convenient software interface provides a high-efficiency program product, as a tool for the operational development of axial turbomachine rows.

description: A probabilistic theory for cell differentiation is proposed in which it is postulated that differential gene expression is provoked by random events. An analysis of determinist theories is made, and two predictions based on the probabilistic theory are compared to experimental fact. A probabilistic model of gene regulation is also given. This theory can account for several phenomena: differential gene expression, embryonic mortality, DNA C-value paradox; and it does not need t refer to a wide diversity of specific regulators.

Polarization of the $ J/ψ$ is sensitive to the $ c \bar{c} $ production and hadronization processes. A longitudinal polarization is observed at large $ x_{F} $, while at small $ x_{F} $ the state is produced essentially unpolarized or slightly transversely polarized. No significant variation of the polarization is observed versus $ p_{T} $.

description: We present new 3.6 and 4.5 micron secondary eclipse measurements for five cool (less than approximately 1000 K) transiting gas giant planets: HAT-P-15b, HAT-P-17b, HAT-P-18b, HAT-P-26b, and WASP-69b. We detect eclipses in at least one bandpass for all planets except HAT-P-15b. We confirm and refine the orbital eccentricity of HAT-P-17b, which is also the only planet in our sample with a known outer companion. We compare our measured eclipse depths in these two bands, which are sensitive to the relative abundances of methane versus carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, respectively, to predictions from 1D atmosphere models for each planet. For planets with hydrogen-dominated atmospheres and equilibrium temperatures cooler than approximately 1000 K, this ratio should vary as a function of both atmospheric metallicity and the carbon-to-oxygen ratio. For HAT-P-26b, our observations are in good agreement with the low atmospheric metallicity inferred from transmission spectroscopy. We find that all four of the planets with detected eclipses are best matched by models with relatively efficient circulation of energy to the nightside. We see no evidence for a solar-system-like correlation between planet mass and atmospheric metallicity, but instead identify a potential (1.9 sigma) correlation between the inferred methane/(carbon monoxide + carbon dioxide) ratio and stellar metallicity. Our ability to characterize this potential trend is limited by the relatively large uncertainties in the stellar metallicity values. Our observations provide a first look at the brightness of these planets at wavelengths accessible to the James Webb Space Telescope, which will be able to resolve individual methane, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide bands and provide much stronger constraints on their atmospheric compositions.

Remarks. Ranoidea caerulea is native to northern and south-eastern Australia, and southern New Guinea (Cogger 2014). Curiously, R. caerulea is the only amphibian species that can be legally kept as a pet in Singapore (Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore 2017). Despite being a popular captive species, the only documented record of R. caerulea in the wild is from 20 May 2014 when five individuals were all found near one another in LCK (Low & Mejia 2014). These individuals were captured and donated to LKCNHM. One individual was also seen at RRNP in 2017 (A. Figueroa pers. obs.). As there is no evidence suggesting that R. caerulea has established populations in Singapore, we omit it from Singapore’s herpetofauna checklist.

description: Named Entity Recognition (NER) from social media posts is a challenging task. User generated content that forms the nature of social media, is noisy and contains grammatical and linguistic errors. This noisy content makes it much harder for tasks such as named entity recognition. We propose two novel deep learning approaches utilizing multimodal deep learning and Transformers. Both of our approaches use image features from short social media posts to provide better results on the NER task. On the first approach, we extract image features using InceptionV3 and use fusion to combine textual and image features. This presents more reliable name entity recognition when the images related to the entities are provided by the user. On the second approach, we use image features combined with text and feed it into a BERT like Transformer. The experimental results, namely, the precision, recall and F1 score metrics show the superiority of our work compared to other state-of-the-art NER solutions.

description: Inspired by a large decay branching ratio (BR) of $B^{+}\to f_{0}(980)K^{+}$ measured by Belle recently, we propose that a significant evidence of the component of $n\bar{n}=(u\bar{u}+d\bar{d})/\sqrt{2}$ in $f_{0}(980)$ could be demonstrated in exclusive $b\to c$ decays by the observation of $f_{0}(980)$ in the final states $\bar{B}\to D^{0(*)} π^{+} π^{-}(KK)$ and $\bar{B}\to J/Ψπ^{+} π^{-}(KK)$. We predict the BRs of $\bar{B}\to D^{0(*)} (J/Ψ) f_{0}(980)$ to be ${\cal {O}}(10^{-4})$ (${\cal {O}}(10^{-5})$) while the unknown wave functions of $D^{(*)0}$ ($J/Ψ$) are chosen to fit the observed decays of $\bar{B}\to D^{(*)0} π^{0} (J/ΨK^{0(*)})$.

Towards a formalism for mapping the spacetimes of massive compact objects: Bumpy black holes and their orbits

description: Observations have established that extremely compact, massive objects are common in the universe. It is generally accepted that these objects are black holes. As observations improve, it becomes possible to test this hypothesis in ever greater detail. In particular, it is or will be possible to measure the properties of orbits deep in the strong field of a black hole candidate (using x-ray timing or with gravitational-waves) and to test whether they have the characteristics of black hole orbits in general relativity. Such measurements can be used to map the spacetime of a massive compact object, testing whether the object's multipoles satisfy the strict constraints of the black hole hypothesis. Such a test requires that we compare against objects with the ``wrong'' multipole structure. In this paper, we present tools for constructing bumpy black holes: objects that are almost black holes, but that have some multipoles with the wrong value. The spacetimes which we present are good deep into the strong field of the object -- we do not use a large r expansion, except to make contact with weak field intuition. Also, our spacetimes reduce to the black hole spacetimes of general relativity when the ``bumpiness'' is set to zero. We propose bumpy black holes as the foundation for a null experiment: if black hole candidates are the black holes of general relativity, their bumpiness should be zero. By comparing orbits in a bumpy spacetime with those of an astrophysical source, observations should be able to test this hypothesis, stringently testing whether they are the black holes of general relativity.

description: Thoracic electrical bioimpedance (TEB) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) are non-invasive methods to estimate stroke volume (SV) and cardiac output (CO). Thoracic electrical bioimpedance is not in widespread clinical use with reports of inaccurate cardiac output estimation compared to invasive monitors, particularly in non-healthy populations. We explore its use as a trend monitor by comparing it against thoracic echocardiography in fifteen healthy volunteers undergoing two physical challenges designed to vary cardiac output. Of all paired values, 54.6% showed gross trend agreement and only 1.9% showed direct disagreement between the two monitors. Our results show thoracic bioimpedance may have a role as a non-invasive cardiac output trend monitor in healthy volunteer studies.
Handling Syntactic Divergence in Low-resource Machine Translation

description: Despite impressive empirical successes of neural machine translation (NMT) on standard benchmarks, limited parallel data impedes the application of NMT models to many language pairs. Data augmentation methods such as back-translation make it possible to use monolingual data to help alleviate these issues, but back-translation itself fails in extreme low-resource scenarios, especially for syntactically divergent languages. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective solution, whereby target-language sentences are re-ordered to match the order of the source and used as an additional source of training-time supervision. Experiments with simulated low-resource Japanese-to-English, and real low-resource Uyghur-to-English scenarios find significant improvements over other semi-supervised alternatives.

description: Dryland salinity management requires the integration of hydrologic, economic, social and policy aspects into an interactive method that decision makers can use to evaluate the economic and environmental consequences of alternative land use/management practices as well as various policy choices. This requires that modelling frameworks be open and accessible to a range of disciplines as well as allowing flexibility in exploration in learning or adapting. This interactive method will present the development of a new integrated hydrologic-economic model in the context of a catchment in which land use change is the dominant factor and salinity emergence due to land use and land cover change presents a major land and water degradation problem. This model will reflect the interactions between biophysical processes and socioeconomic processes as well as to explore both economic and environmental consequences of different policy options. All model components will be incorporated into a single consistent model, which will be solved in its entirety by an agent based modelling (ABM) approach. Agent-based Modelling (ABM) will allow to incorporate features that are necessary for a realistic representation of economic behaviour and interactions among resource managers.

description: We study primordial gravitational waves from inflation in Randall-Sundrum braneworld model. The effect of small change of the Hubble parameter during inflation is investigated using a toy model given by connecting two de Sitter branes. We analyze the power spectrum of final zero-mode gravitons, which is generated from the vacuum fluctuations of both initial Kaluza-Klein modes and zero-mode. The amplitude of fluctuations is confirmed to agree with the four-dimensional one at low energies, whereas it is enhanced due to the normalization factor of zero-mode at high energies. We show that the five-dimensional spectrum can be well approximated by applying a simple mapping to the four-dimensional fluctuation amplitude.

description: This paper presents estimates of the benefits of clearing landmines in two provinces in rural Cambodia using the contingent-valuation (CV) method. The data came from a survey where we asked respondents referendum-type questions that elicit their willingness to pay for landmine clearance. The survey also provides estimates of the injury risk-death risk trade-off and the implicit value of statistical injury. These estimates suggest that the value of lives and injuries saved from mine clearing is likely to be at least an order of magnitude greater than those used in existing studies of mine clearing. We show that the value of lives and injuries saved is likely to dominate benefit assessments when VSL estimates are used. Estimates previously obtained for rural Thailand are contrasted with the results for Cambodia, and the determinants of the VSL investigated using econometric techniques. While Harris (2000) found a significantly negative net present value of landmine clearance in Cambodia we show that when using VSL estimates the net present value is less negative, and the value of lives and injuries saved dominates the benefits

description: This paper presents the results obtained from two experimental auctions regarding consumer willingness-to-pay (WTP) for food safety improvements. The research found a positive WTP for food safety. However WTP amounts are different when participants bid with objective risk information as compared with the naive (bid without this risk information. There appears to be no significant difference in WTP regarding different magnitudes of risk reduction.

description: We report on the effects of an electrical charge on mechanical loss of a fused silica disk. A degradation of Q was seen that correlated with charge on the surface of the sample. We examine a number of models for charge damping, including eddy current damping and loss due to polarization. We conclude that rubbing friction between the sample and a piece of dust attracted by the charged sample is the most likely explanation for the observed loss.

description: A plethora of approaches to modeling market power has been reported in the literature. These can be broadly divided into one-side and two-side behavioral models. This paper uses versions of these models to develop a theoretical framework to test market power in the output and input markets in the Indonesian cooking oil production chain. The dynamic Lerner Index is also proposed as a reinforcing approach to measuring the degree of market power, and its consequential impacts. The implications of the analysis for further research will be explored.

Primordial Nucleosynthesis Constraints on Z' Properties

description: In models involving new TeV-scale Z' gauge bosons, the new U(1)' symmetry often prevents the generation of Majorana masses needed for a conventional neutrino seesaw, leading to three superweakly interacting ``right-handed'' neutrinos nu_R, the Dirac partners of the ordinary neutrinos. These can be produced prior to big bang nucleosynthesis by the Z' interactions, leading to a faster expansion rate and too much ^4He. We quantify the constraints on the Z' properties from nucleosynthesis for Z' couplings motivated by a class of E_6 models parametrized by an angle theta_E6. The rate for the annihilation of three approximately massless right-handed neutrinos into other particle pairs through the Z' channel is calculated. The decoupling temperature, which is higher than that of ordinary left-handed neutrinos due to the large Z' mass, is evaluated, and the equivalent number of new doublet neutrinos Delta N_nu is obtained numerically as a function of the Z' mass and couplings for a variety of assumptions concerning the Z-Z' mixing angle and the quark-hadron transition temperature T_c. Except near the values of theta_E6 for which the Z' decouples from the right-handed neutrinos, the Z' mass and mixing constraints from nucleosynthesis are much more stringent than the existing laboratory limits from searches for direct production or from precision electroweak data, and are comparable to the ranges that may ultimately be probed at proposed colliders. For the case T_c = 150 MeV with the theoretically favored range of Z-Z' mixings, Delta N_nu < 0.3 for M_Z' > 4.3 TeV for any value of theta_E6. Larger mixing or larger T_c often lead to unacceptably large Delta N_nu except near the nu_R decoupling limit.

description: Wind erosion has long been seen as a significant environmental issue within South Australia. But is it really an economic issue? This study suggests that even though it is acknowledged that wind erosion has an environmental cost, it is not economic to simply try and fix all wind erosion prone areas in South Australia. Land managers and therefore government policy needs to be selective about the areas they treat, and the strategies used, in order for there to be an economic benefit of ameliorating wind erosion in South Australia.

description: Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between obesity and the use of depot medroxyprogesterone (DMPA) with regard to weight gain and changes in bleeding pattern. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted of women receiving 150 mg DMPA via intramuscular injection at inpatient and outpatient clinics at the University of Mississippi Medical Centre between 1 June 2012 and 31 December 2016. Body mass indices (BMI) were assessed at baseline and at the time of final injection. Data on race, medical history, age at first DMPA injection, number and timing of injections, reported side effects, indication for DMPA use and reason for discontinuation, if applicable, were collected. Results: Of the 240 women included in the study, 3.3% were underweight, 30.8% were normal weight, 23.3% were overweight, 15% were class I obese, 9.6% were class II obese and 17.9% were class III obese; 87.9% of the population were African American. Women gained 2.40 kg (95% confidence interval 1.34–3.45) while they were on DMPA (p β coefficient –0.13; p = .02). Amenorrhoea was the most commonly reported change in bleeding pattern. Conclusion: Women who started DMPA at an earlier age gained the most weight over time, independently of initial BMI. Similar rates of amenorrhoea were found among all BMI categories.
