description: A parametric reconstruction of the jerk parameter, the third order derivative of the scale factor expressed in a dimensionless way, has been discussed. Observational constraints on the model parameters have been obtained by Maximum Likelihood Analysis of the models using Supernova Distance Modulus data (SNe), Observational Hubble Data (OHD), Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) data and CMB shift parameter data (CMBShift). The present value of the jerk parameter has been kept open to start with, but the plots of various cosmological parameter like deceleration parameter $q(z)$, jerk parameter $j(z)$, dark energy equation of state parameter $w_{DE}(z)$ indicate that the reconstructed models are very close to a $Λ$CDM model with a slight inclination towards a non-phantom behaviour of the evolution.

description: This report summarizes rice distribution data for the 1969-70 marketing year, collected by a mail survey of all known rice milling and repackaging firms in the United States. The report utilizes data from previous such studies in making comparisons with other years more particularly 1966-67. Data shown include amounts of rice distributed for direct food use by States, regions, and territories, broken down by size of package, type of grain, and specialty rice. Quantities of rice shipped to processors for use in principal products are shown, as well as trends in domestic distribution and use of rice and their relationship to certain factors. Government distribution to both civilian and military populations is shown. Also, such related information is shown as percentage of rice packaged in consumer sized packages and labeled under another firm's brand name and percentage of rice distributed in the United States and territories for direct food use that is enriched.

description: The subsequent coalescence of low--mass halos over cosmic time is thought to be the major formation channel of massive spiral galaxies like the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy (M31). The gaseous halo of a massive galaxy is considered to be the reservoir of baryonic matter persistently fueling the star formation in the disk. Because of its proximity, M31 is the ideal object for studying the structure of the halo gas in great detail. Using the latest neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) data of the Effelsberg-Bonn HI Survey (EBHIS) allows comprising a comprehensive inventory of gas associated with M31. The primary aim is to differentiate between physical structures belonging to the Milky Way Galaxy and M31 and accordingly to test the presence of a M31 neutral gaseous halo. Analyzing the spatially fully sampled EBHIS data makes it feasible to trace coherent HI structures in space and radial velocity. To disentangle Milky Way and M31 HI emission we use a new approach, along with the traditional path of setting an upper radial velocity limit, by calculating a difference second moment map. We argue that M31's disk is physically connected to an asymmetric HI halo of tens of kpc size, the M31 cloud. We confirm the presence of a coherent low-velocity HI filament located in between M31 and M33 aligned at the sky with the clouds at systemic velocity. The physical parameters of the HI filament are comparable to those of the HI clouds at systemic velocity. We also detected an irregularly shaped HI cloud that is is positionally located close to but offset from the stellar body of And XIX.

description: Excerpts from the report: Farm electrification has made rapid progress in the part of Iowa that comprises the eastern livestock-producing type-of-farming area. Farm after farm has been quickly added to the number that have electric service and the actual use of electricity in farm homes and service buildings has steadily expanded. Supplying farmers with electricity and electrical equipment has become a big business in eastern Iowa. The study here reported is one of a series of related studies that deal with certain economic aspects of farm electrification. In their broad aspects, these studies are being made to develop information leading to more economical distribution systems in rural areas and to assist farmers in effecting labor savings in the production of crops and livestock in various farming areas. This study in Iowa was undertaken to make available to farmers and to suppliers of electricity the experiences of farmers who have used electricity for some time, as a basis for evaluating farm-use potentialities in the field. Another purpose was to examine the relationships between certain economic and physical farm conditions as they relate to the use of electricity; the principal conditions considered were type of farm, size of farm, size of specific enterprises, farmer's income, and tenure of operator. A third purpose was to analyze the costs of using electricity including the costs of the energy used, of farmstead wiring, and of electrical equipment and appliances. A fourth purpose was to discover some of the principal effects of electrification on the organization and operation of the farms, with special reference to changes in productive enterprises and uses of power resulting from electrification.

description: We show that a 750 GeV di-photon excess as reported by the ATLAS and CMS experiments can be reproduced by the Minimal Dirac Gaugino Supersymmetric Standard Model (MDGSSM) without the need of any ad-hoc addition of new states. The scalar resonance is identified with the spin-0 partner of the Dirac bino. We perform a thorough analysis of constraints coming from the mixing of the scalar with the Higgs boson, the stability of the vacuum and the requirement of perturbativity of the couplings up to very high energy scales. We exhibit examples of regions of the parameter space that respect all the constraints while reproducing the excess. We point out how trilinear couplings that are expected to arise in supersymmetry-breaking mediation scenarios, but were ignored in the previous literature on the subject, play an important role.

Volatilities analysis of first-passage time and first-return time on a small-world scale-free network

description: In this paper, we study random walks on a small-world scale-free network, also called as pseudofractal scale-free web (PSFW), and analyze the volatilities of first passage time (FPT) and first return time (FRT) by using the variance and the reduced moment as the measures. Note that the FRT and FPT are deeply affected by the starting or target site. We don't intend to enumerate all the possible cases and analyze them. We only study the volatilities of FRT for a given hub (i.e., node with highest degree) and the volatilities of the global FPT (GFPT) to a given hub, which is the average of the FPTs for arriving at a given hub from any possible starting site selected randomly according to the equilibrium distribution of the Markov chain. Firstly, we calculate exactly the probability generating function of the GFPT and FRT based on the self-similar structure of the PSFW. Then, we calculate the probability distribution, the mean, the variance and reduced moment of the GFPT and FRT by using the generating functions as a tool. Results show that: the reduced moment of FRT grows with the increasing of the network order $N$ and tends to infinity while $N\rightarrow\infty$; but for the reduced moments of GFPT, it is almost a constant($\approx1.1605$) for large $N$. Therefore, on the PSFW of large size, the FRT has huge fluctuations and the estimate provided by MFRT is unreliable, whereas the fluctuations of the GFPT is much smaller and the estimate provided by its mean is more reliable. The method we propose can also be used to analyze the volatilities of FPT and FRT on other networks with self-similar structure, such as $(u, v)$ flowers and recursive scale-free trees.

description: The development of high-energy and high-power density supercapacitors (SCs) is critical for enabling next-generation energy storage applications. Nanocarbons are excellent SC electrode materials due to their economic viability, high-surface area, and high stability. Although nanocarbons have high theoretical surface area and hence high double layer capacitance, the net amount of energy stored in nanocarbon-SCs is much below theoretical limits due to two inherent bottlenecks: i) their low quantum capacitance and ii) limited ion-accessible surface area. Here, we demonstrate that defects in graphene could be effectively used to mitigate these bottlenecks by drastically increasing the quantum capacitance and opening new channels to facilitate ion diffusion in otherwise closed interlayer spaces. Our results support the emergence of a new energy paradigm in SCs with 250% enhancement in double layer capacitance beyond the theoretical limit. Furthermore, we demonstrate prototype defect engineered bulk SC devices with energy densities 500% higher than state-of-the-art commercial SCs without compromising the power density.

description: We analytically study the scalar perturbation of non-asymptotically flat (NAF) rotating linear dilaton black holes (RLDBHs) in 4-dimensions. We show that both radial and angular wave equations can be solved in terms of the hypergeometric functions. The exact greybody factor (GF), the absorption cross-section (ACS), and the decay rate (DR) for the massless scalar waves are computed for these black holes (BHs). The results obtained for ACS and DR are discussed through graphs.

description: Independent component analysis is a standard tool in modern data analysis and numerous different techniques for applying it exist. The standard methods however quickly lose their effectiveness when the data are made up of structures of higher order than vectors, namely matrices or tensors (for example, images or videos), being unable to handle the high amounts of noise. Recently, an extension of the classic fourth order blind identification (FOBI) specifically suited for tensor-valued observations was proposed and showed to outperform its vector version for tensor data. In this paper we extend another popular independent component analysis method, the joint approximate diagonalization of eigen-matrices (JADE), for tensor observations. In addition to the theoretical background we also provide the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator and use both simulations and real data to show its usefulness and superiority over its competitors.

description: We investigate the dependance of galaxy sizes and star-formation rates (SFRs) on environment using a mass-limited sample of quiescent and star-forming galaxies with M>10^9.5 at z=0.92 selected from the NMBS survey. Using the GEEC2 spectroscopic cluster catalog and the accurate photometric redshifts from NMBS, we select quiescent and star-forming cluster (sigma=490 km/s) galaxies within two virial radius, Rvir, intervals of 0.51, than field star-forming galaxies. The average SFRs of star-forming cluster galaxies show a trend of decreasing SFR with clustocentric radius. The mass-normalised average SFR of cluster star-forming galaxies is a factor of 2-2.5 (7-9 sigma) lower than that of star-forming galaxies in the field. While we find no significant dependence on environment for quiescent galaxies, the properties of star-forming galaxies are affected, which could be the result of environment acting on their gas content.

description: About 85 percent of the rural land urbanized in 96 counties in 12 Northeastern States went to residential use during 1950-60. The remaining 15 percent was used for industrial, commercial, institutional, and recreational purposes, and for airports. Residential use was mainly open type; that is, land averaged above 0.5 acre per dwelling. About 50 percent of the land urbanized was cropland. Land going to urban use was largely the better farmland--about 80 percent was in land use capability classes I-III. For the entire study area, about .22 acre of land was converted to urban use for each person added to the population.

description: Purpose: Limited evidence is available on speech-language pathology (SLP) weekend services within the subacute inpatient setting. This study aimed to describe Australian SLP weekend services for stroke adult inpatients in subacute units and to explore clinicians’ perspectives on factors that influence the delivery of the service. Method: Speech-language pathologists who worked in Australian subacute hospital-based units participated in an online cross-sectional survey. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were undertaken to analyse quantitative and qualitative data. Result: From the total of 83 participating clinicians, 20 (24%) worked in rehabilitation units that provided an SLP weekend service. Assessments and reviews were the main clinical activities provided to stroke inpatients by this service. Workforce and evidence were commonly cited as facilitators and barriers to both the implementation of a new service and the continuation of an existing service. The “ideal” SLP weekend subacute service to stroke inpatients was typically described as a combination of assessment, therapy, education and training. Conclusion: Findings from this study’s sample indicate that an SLP weekend inpatient rehabilitation service to stroke inpatients was not standard practice. Different perspectives regarding the purpose and need of an SLP weekend service were reported.

description: We surveyed the 25 Ori association for direct-imaging companions. This association has an age of only few million years. Among other targets, we observed CVSO 30, which has recently been identified as the first T Tauri star found to host a transiting planet candidate. We report on photometric and spectroscopic high-contrast observations with the Very Large Telescope, the Keck telescopes, and the Calar Alto observatory. They reveal a directly imaged planet candidate close to the young M3 star CVSO 30. The JHK-band photometry of the newly identified candidate is at better than 1 sigma consistent with late-type giants, early-T and early-M dwarfs, and free-floating planets. Other hypotheses such as galaxies can be excluded at more than 3.5 sigma. A lucky imaging z' photometric detection limit z'= 20.5 mag excludes early-M dwarfs and results in less than 10 MJup for CVSO 30 c if bound. We present spectroscopic observations of the wide companion that imply that the only remaining explanation for the object is that it is the first very young (< 10 Myr) L-T-type planet bound to a star, meaning that it appears bluer than expected as a result of a decreasing cloud opacity at low effective temperatures. Only a planetary spectral model is consistent with the spectroscopy, and we deduce a best-fit mass of 4-5 Jupiter masses (total range 0.6-10.2 Jupiter masses). This means that CVSO 30 is the first system in which both a close-in and a wide planet candidate are found to have a common host star. The orbits of the two possible planets could not be more different: they have orbital periods of 10.76 hours and about 27000 years. The two orbits may have formed during a mutual catastrophic event of planet-planet scattering.

description: Researchers have developed several theoretical methods for predicting epidemic thresholds, including the mean-field like (MFL) method, the quenched mean-field (QMF) method, and the dynamical message passing (DMP) method. When these methods are applied to predict epidemic threshold they often produce differing results and their relative levels of accuracy are still unknown. We systematically analyze these two issues---relationships among differing results and levels of accuracy---by studying the susceptible-infected-recovered (SIR) model on uncorrelated configuration networks and a group of 56 real-world networks. In uncorrelated configuration networks the MFL and DMP methods yield identical predictions that are larger and more accurate than the prediction generated by the QMF method. When compared to the 56 real-world networks, the epidemic threshold obtained by the DMP method is closer to the actual epidemic threshold because it incorporates full network topology information and some dynamical correlations. We find that in some scenarios---such as networks with positive degree-degree correlations, with an eigenvector localized on the high $k$-core nodes, or with a high level of clustering---the epidemic threshold predicted by the MFL method, which uses the degree distribution as the only input parameter, performs better than the other two methods. We also find that the performances of the three predictions are irregular versus modularity.

description: Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the universal chemical energy currency for cellular activities provided mainly by the membrane enzyme FoF1-ATP synthase in bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria. Synthesis of ATP is accompanied by subunit rotation within the enzyme. Over the past 15 years we have developed a variety of single-molecule FRET (smFRET) experiments to monitor catalytic action of individual bacterial enzymes in vitro. By specifically labeling rotating and static subunits within a single enzyme we were able to observe three-stepped rotation in the F1 motor, ten-stepped rotation in the Fo motor and transient elastic deformation of the connected rotor subunits. However, the spatial and temporal resolution of motor activities measured by smFRET were limited by the photophysics of the FRET fluorophores. Here we evaluate the novel FRET donor mNeonGreen as a fusion to FoF1-ATP synthase and compare it to the previously used fluorophore EGFP. Topics of this manuscript are the biochemical purification procedures and the activity measurements of the fully functional mutant enzyme.

The correspondence between an algebra of weak symmetries for a given SDE and an algebra of strong symmetries for a modified SDE is proved under suitable regularity assumptions. This general approach is applied to a stochastic version of a two dimensional symmetric ordinary differential equation and to the case of two dimensional Brownian motion.

description: Worldwide, Muslim travelers are expected to be worth more than US$450 billion by 2026. Ignoring Muslim tourists would be a missed opportunity for any country’s economy that depends on tourism. This study aims to help non-Muslim tourism providers to understand what Muslim travelers require. Specifically, the study posits that accessibility to cultural needs and brand image affects customer satisfaction, which in turn influences brand loyalty among Muslim tourists. Religiosity plays a role as a moderating variable. Quantitative data was collected from 291 Muslim tourists visiting New Zealand that is predominantly a Christian country through online and mall intercept surveys. The study has adopted Hayes’s PROCESS Model 8 to test the mediated–moderated model. The results indicate strong support for the research model. Finally, the study provides some theoretical discussions and strategic managerial implications on how to offer Muslim tourists the best possible experience.

description: The Physical Internet (PI) has emerged as a promising paradigm to increase the sustainability of logistics network while preserving their efficiency. PI logistics systems emulate the principles of the digital internet to establish highly interconnected and collaborative networks to make better use of the resources. [1] This research focuses on the strategic design of PI networks, in particular for waterborne transportation. We address the general problem of locating Physical Internet Hubs (PI-Hubs). In the special case of river transport, the underlying topology corresponds to a tree. Thus, the location problem can be described as a tree of hubs location problem [2], which is a variant of the well-known hub location problem relying on a tree topology.

In particular, our results show the possibility of a complicated triple-cell meridional circulation structure. This pattern consists of two large counterclockwise circulation cells (the N-hemisphere) and a smaller clockwise cell located at low latitudes at the bottom of the convection zone.

They are meant to be good representative of typical FGK stars in the Milky Way. Currently, they are used by several spectroscopic surveys to validate and calibrate the methods that analyse the data. I review our recent activities done for these stars. Additionally, by applying our new method to find stellar twins on the Gaia-ESO Survey, I discuss how good representatives of Milky Way stars the benchmark stars are and how they distribute in space.

description: This deliverable gives an overview of the different processes across all three cycles of the project that led to the development of RESISTIRÉ’s various outputs: the operational recommendations, the pilot projects, and the agendas for future research. The operational recommendations, designed as RESISTIRÉ factsheets, focused on 22 topics in total. For the pilot projects, seven different sets of terms of reference were developed over the first two cycles, eventually resulting in nine implemented pilot projects (two for Green Spaces as Ecosystems of Care and two for Engaging with Gender-based Violence Through Sports) across eight different countries. Finally, by the end of the third cycle, sixteen research agendas had been developed as well. Following the solutions created as part of the project, this report concludes with a section that indicates the various lessons that were learned throughout RESISTIRÉ’s three cycles. These lessons are differentiated by task, as the processes for developing the operational recommendations, pilot projects, and future research agendas all markedly differ from each other. They provide an insight into the strong points as well as the difficulties of the solution development processes.
Successes, pain points, and lessons learned when curating data at scale: The NACJD experience

description: Established in 1978, the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) archives and disseminates data on crime and justice for secondary analysis. To support research on crime and justice, NACJD staff curate datasets from three U.S. federal agencies: 1) the Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2) the National Institute of Justice, and 3) the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. This presentation will describe how NACJD retooled established data curation efforts in the face of staff turnover, organizational change, increasingly complex data deposits, and growth in deposit counts.

 In the first part of our presentation, we describe NACJD’s history. We show that data release counts remained stable until 2005, when they began increasing. We attribute this increase to widespread broadband Internet access and shifting expectations for data sharing among social scientists. Next, we describe the period from 2006 to 2018. We show that most data NACJD released during this period were quantitative. Finally, we demonstrate that key staff retirements, restructuring at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research, and an uptick in mixed-method data archiving caused releases to decline.

 In the second half of our presentation, we discuss how NACJD reversed this decline. Specifically, we argue that new hires and workflows helped NACJD increase data releases through ongoing collaboration with stakeholders. We describe these hires and workflows, focusing on how they connect to the data curation lifecycle. However, we also note that our lessons learned cannot address the challenges associated with curating complex (large and non-tabular) datasets, so we propose new avenues for data curation at scale.

description: We present a comparative Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB) study of geometries and electronic structures of arginine (Arg), arginine adsorbed on the anatase (101) surface of titania in several adsorption configurations, and of an arginine-rich cell penetrating peptide TAT and its adsorption on the surface of TiO2. Two DFTB parameterizations are considered, tiorg-0-1/mio-1-1 and matsci-0-3. While there is good agreement in the structures and relative energies of Arg and peptide conformers between DFT and DFTB, both adsorption geometries and energies are noticeably different for Arg adsorbed on TiO2. The tiorg-0-1/mio-1-1 parameterization performs better than matsci-0-3. We relate this difference to the difference in electronic structures resulting from the two methods (DFT and DFTB) and specifically to the band alignment between the molecule and the oxide. We show that the band alignment of TAT and of TiO2 modeled with DFTB is qualitatively correct but that with DFT using the PBE functional is not. This is specific to the modeling of large molecules where the HOMO is close to the conduction band of the oxide. We therefore report a case where the approximate DFT-based method - DFTB (with which the correct band structure can be effectively obtained) - performs better than the DFT itself with a functional approximation feasible for the modeling of large bio-inorganic interfaces, i.e. GGA (as opposed to hybrid functionals which are impractical at such a scale). Our results highlight the utility of the DFTB method for the modeling of bioinorganic interfaces not only from the CPU cost perspective but also from the accuracy point of view.

description: Some mammal species inhabiting high-latitude biomes have evolved a seasonal moulting pattern that improves camouflage via white coats in winter and brown coats in summer. In many high-latitude and high-altitude areas, the duration and depth of snow cover has been substantially reduced in the last five decades. This reduction in depth and duration of snow cover may create a mismatch between coat colour and colour of the background environment, and potentially reduce the survival rate of species that depend on crypsis. We used long-term (1977–2020) field data and capture–mark–recapture models to test the hypothesis that whiteness of the coat influences winter apparent survival in a cyclic population of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) at Kluane, Yukon, Canada. Whiteness of the snowshoe hare coat in autumn declined during this study, and snowshoe hares with a greater proportion of whiteness in their coats in autumn survived better during winter. However, whiteness of the coat in spring did not affect subsequent summer survival. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the timing of coat colour change in autumn can reduce overwinter survival. Because declines in cyclic snowshoe hare populations are strongly affected by low winter survival, the timing of coat colour change may adversely affect snowshoe hare population dynamics as climate change continues.
A model for the energy-dependent time-lag and rms of the heartbeat oscillations in GRS 1915+105

description: Energy dependent phase lags reveal crucial information about the causal relation between various spectral components and about the nature of the accretion geometry around the compact objects. The time-lag and the fractional root mean square (rms) spectra of GRS 1915+105 in its heartbeat oscillation class/$ρ$ state show peculiar behaviour at the fundamental and harmonic frequencies where the lags at the fundamental show a turn around at $\sim$ 10 keV while the lags at the harmonic do not show any turn around at least till $\sim$ 20 keV. The magnitude of lags are of the order of few seconds and hence cannot be attributed to the light travel time effects or Comptonization delays. The continuum X-ray spectra can roughly be described by a disk blackbody and a hard X-ray power-law component and from phase resolved spectroscopy it has been shown that the inner disk radius varies during the oscillation. Here, we propose that there is a delayed response of the inner disk radius (DROID) to the accretion rate such that $r_{in}(t)\propto \dot{m}^β(t-τ_d)$. The fluctuating accretion rate drives the oscillations of the inner radius after a time delay $τ_d$ while the power-law component responds immediately. We show that in such a scenario a pure sinusoidal oscillation of the accretion rate can explain not only the shape and magnitude of energy dependent rms and time-lag spectra at the fundamental but also the next harmonic with just four free parameters.

Resolving the Fan-Spine Reconnection Geometry of a Small-Scale Chromospheric Jet Event with the New Solar Telescope

description: Jets present ubiquitously in both quiet and active regions on the Sun. They are widely believed to be driven by magnetic reconnection. A fan-spine structure has been frequently reported in some coronal jets and flares, regarded as a signature of ongoing magnetic reconnection in a topology consisting of a magnetic null connected by a fan-like separatrix surface and a spine. However, for small-scale chromospheric jets, clear evidence of such structures is rather rare, although they are implied in earlier works that show an inverted-Y-shaped feature. Here we report high-resolution (0$"$.16) observations of a small-scale chromospheric jet obtained by the New Solar Telescope (NST) using 10830~Å filtergrams. Bi-directional flows were observed across the separatrix regions in the 10830~Å images, suggesting that the jet was produced due to magnetic reconnection. At the base of the jet, a fan-spine structure was clearly resolved by the NST, including the spine and the fan-like surface, as well as the loops before and after the reconnection. A major part of this fan-spine structure, with the exception of its bright footpoints and part of the base arc, was invisible in the extreme ultraviolet and soft X-ray images (observed by the Atmosphere Imaging Assembly and the X-Ray Telescope, respectively), indicating that the reconnection occurred in the upper chromosphere. Our observations suggest that the evolution of this chromospheric jet is consistent with a two-step reconnection scenario proposed by \citet{Torok2009}

description: The crystalline silicates features are mainly reflected in infrared bands. The Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) collected numerous spectra of various objects and provided a big database to investigate crystalline silicates in a wide range of astronomical environments. We apply the manifold ranking algorithm to perform a systematic search for the spectra with crystalline silicates features in the Spitzer IRS Enhanced Products available. In total, 868 spectra of 790 sources are found to show the features of crystalline silicate. These objects are cross-matched with the SIMBAD database as well as with the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fibre Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST)/DR2. The average spectrum of young stellar objects show a variety of features dominated either by forsterite or enstatite or neither, while the average spectrum of evolved objects consistently present dominant features of forsterite in AGB, OH/IR, post-AGB and planetary nebulae. They are identified optically as early-type stars, evolved stars, galaxies and so on. In addition, the strength of spectral features in typical silicate complexes is calculated. The results are available through CDS for the astronomical community to further study crystalline silicate.
