description: The discovery of the fungal pathogen Ophidiomyces ophidiicola (Oo), the aetiologic agent of Snake Fungal Disease (SFD), has raised a growing interest in the North American and European scientific communities, in particular toward conservation. This pathogen is known or suspected to be associated with the declines of some snake populations in North America and was detected later in Europe. Its ecology, distribution and phylogeography still remain largely unknown. In this study, we collected skin swabs from 271 free-ranging snakes in Switzerland across 8 different species and 13 sites. The overall pathogen prevalence was at least 28% with sequences consistent with both the European and the North American lineages (respectively Clade I and II) of Oo. Semi-aquatic snakes were more likely to be infected by Oo, and high human disturbance (human frequentation and direct impact on snakes) was associated with a higher Oo prevalence, whereas season, body condition and snake species introduction was not. This study suggests that Switzerland might represent a region characterised by high genetic variability in Oo, and where long-term monitoring might be particularly important to follow the evolution of the disease in free-ranging snakes.

description: We conduct gravitational microlensing experiments in a galaxy taken from a cosmological N-body simulation. Hypothetical observers measure the optical depth and event rate toward hypothetical LMCs and compare their results with model predictions. Since we control the accuracy and sophistication of the model, we can determine how good it has to be for statistical errors to dominate over systematic ones. Several thousand independent microlensing experiments are performed. When the ``best-fit'' triaxial model for the mass distribution of the halo is used, the agreement between the measured and predicted optical depths is quite good: by and large the discrepancies are consistent with statistical fluctuations. If, on the other hand, a spherical model is used, systematic errors dominate. Even with our ``best-fit'' model, there are a few rare experiments where the deviation between the measured and predicted optical depths cannot be understood in terms of statistical fluctuations. In these experiments there is typically a clump of particles crossing the line of sight to the hypothetical LMC. These clumps can be either gravitationally bound systems or transient phenomena in a galaxy that is still undergoing phase mixing. Substructure of this type, if present in the Galactic distribution of Machos, can lead to large systematic errors in the analysis of microlensing experiments. We also describe how hypothetical WIMP and axion detection experiments might be conducted in a simulated N-body galaxy.

Collisionless distribution functions for force-free current sheets: using a pressure transformation to lower the plasma beta
Creators: name: Wilson, Fiona
name: Neukirch, Thomas
name: Allanson, Oliver
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: So far, only one distribution function giving rise to a collisionless nonlinear force-free current sheet equilibrium allowing for a plasma beta less than one is known (Allanson et al., 2015; 2016). This distribution function can only be expressed as an infinite series of Hermite functions with very slow convergence and this makes its practical use cumbersome. It is the purpose of this paper to present a general method that allows us to find distribution functions consisting of a finite number of terms (therefore easier to use in practice), but which still allow for current sheet equilibria that can, in principle, have an arbitrarily low plasma beta. The method involves using known solutions and transforming them into new solutions using transformations based on taking integer powers ($N$) of one component of the pressure tensor. The plasma beta of the current sheet corresponding to the transformed distribution functions can then, in principle, have values as low as $1/N$. We present the general form of the distribution functions for arbitrary $N$ and then, as a specific example, discuss the case for $N=2$ in detail.
Tensor optimized Fermi sphere method for nuclear matter -- power series correlated wave function and a cluster expansion

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new formalism, called "tensor optimized Fermi sphere (TOFS) method", is developed to treat the nuclear matter using a bare interaction among nucleons. In this method, the correlated nuclear matter wave function is taken to be a power series type, $Ψ_{N}=[\sum_{n=0}^{N} {(1/n!)F^n}]Φ_0$ and an exponential type, $Ψ_{\rm ex}=\exp(F) Φ_0$, with the uncorrelated Fermi-gas wave function $Φ_0$, where the correlation operator $F$ can induce central, spin-isospin, tensor, etc.~correlations, and $Ψ_{\rm ex}$ corresponds to a limiting case of $Ψ_{N}$ ($N \rightarrow \infty$). In the TOFS formalism based on Hermitian form, it is shown that the energy per particle in nuclear matter with $Ψ_{\rm ex}$ can be expressed in terms of a linked-cluster expansion. On the basis of these results, we present the formula of the energy per particle in nuclear matter with $Ψ_{N}$. We call the $N$th-order TOFS calculation for evaluating the energy with $Ψ_N$, where the correlation functions are optimally determined in the variation of the energy. The TOFS theory is applied for the study of symmetric nuclear matter using a central NN potential with short-range repulsion. The calculated results are fairly consistent to those of other theories such as the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach etc.

description: Assuming that, for a given source of gravitational waves (GWs), we know its sky position, as is the case of GW events with an electromagnetic counterpart such as GW170817, we discuss a null stream method to probe GW polarizations including spin-0 (scalar) GW modes and spin-1 (vector) modes, especially with an expected network of Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo and KAGRA. For two independent null streams for four non-co-aligned GW detectors, we study a location on the sky, exactly at which the spin-0 modes of GWs vanish in any null stream for the GW detector network, though the strain output at a detector may contain the spin-0 modes. Our numerical calculations show that there exist seventy sky positions that satisfy this condition of killing the spin-0 modes in the null streams. If a GW source with an electromagnetic counterpart is found in one of the seventy sky positions, the spin-1 modes will be testable separately from the spin-0 modes by the null stream method. In addition, we study a superposition of the two null streams to show that any one of the three modes (one combined spin-0 and two spin-1 modes) can be eliminated by suitably adjusting a weighted superposition of the null streams and thereby a set of the remaining polarization modes can be experimentally tested.

description: In the framework of the HIJING model global characteristics of nucleus- nucleus collisions are studied for a Large Hadron Collider energy scale. An interesting model prediction is the presence of a central bump over a pseudorapidity plateau of a total transverse energy distribution. The bump is induced by a jet quenching effect in a dense nuclear matter. It is shown that on a wide acceptance calorimeter with a pseudorapidity coverage -5 < η< 5 allow to obtain experimental confirmation of such an effect.

Including constraints from unitarity and perturbative QCD, we present a novel parametrisation of the absorptive parts of the various isoscalar and isovector nucleon form factors. Using the current world data, we obtain results for the electromagnetic form factors, nucleon radii and meson couplings. We stress the importance of measurements at large momentum transfer to test the predictions of perturbative QCD.

description: We investigate the radiative processes of a quantum system composed by two identical two-level atoms in the de Sitter spacetime, interacting with a conformally coupled massless scalar field prepared in the de Sitter-invariant vacuum. We discuss the structure of the rate of variations of the atomic energy for two static atoms. Following a procedure developed by Dalibard, Dupont-Roc and Cohen-Tannoudji, our intention is to identify in a quantitative way the contributions of vacuum fluctuations and the radiation reaction to the generation of quantum entanglement and to the degradation of entangled states. We find that when the distance between two atoms larger than the characteristic length scale, the rate of variation of atomic energy in the de Sitter-invariant vacuum behaves differently compared with that in the thermal Minkowski spacetime. In particular, the generation and degradation of quantum entanglement can be enhanced or inhibited, which are dependent not only on the specific entangled state but also on the distance between the atoms.

We demonstrate experimentally how several dipoles can be superposed in order to create various 2D flow patterns, and how a confined dipole can act as a thermocapillary motor for driving fluids in microfluidic circuits. In addition, we show how the principles behind the thermocapillary dipole can be applied in order to drive thermocapillary swimmers on fluid-liquid interfaces.

description: This study empirically examined the relationship between non-statutory welfare system and employee productivity of deposit money banks in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The study adopted the cross-sectional survey design in its methodology.  The population of the study was 200 employees of the selected banks while its sample size was 133 as determined using Taro Yaman formula. The Cronbach Alpha value scale threshold of 0.7 was exceeded which indicated the reliability of the scales used in the study. Statistical analysis was carried out at two levels; descriptive statistics and charts were done at the primary level while Spearman Ranked Ordered Correlation was used at the secondary level with the aid of Statistical Packages for Social Science (SPSS) version 23.0. Given the findings drawn from the analysis, it was concluded that the application of non-statutory welfare system in the management of organization’s workforce within the context of deposit money banks in Port Harcourt is a critical recipe for sustained employee productivity. Consequently, it was recommended that the management of deposit money banks should regularly review its remuneration policies to match rising costs of living and inflation as focus on statutory welfare alone is no longer enough to drive employees’ morale toward sustained.

description: BPS electric and magnetic black hole solutions which break half of supersymmetry in the theory of N=2 five-dimensional supergravity are discussed. For models which arise as compactifications of M-theory on a Calabi-Yau manifold, these solutions correspond, respectively, to the two and five branes wrapping around the homology cycles of the Calabi-Yau compact space. The electric solutions are reviewed and the magnetic solutions are constructed. The near-horizon physics of these solutions is examined and in particular the phenomenon of the enhancement of supersymmetry. The solutions for the supersymmetric Killing spinor of the near horizon geometry, identified as $AdS_{3}\times S^{2}$ and $AdS_{2} \times S^{3}$ are also given.

description: We report the results of an in-depth analysis of the parameter estimation capabilities of BayesWave, an algorithm for the reconstruction of gravitational-wave signals without reference to a specific signal model. Using binary black hole signals, we compare BayesWave's performance to the theoretical best achievable performance in three key areas: sky localisation accuracy, signal/noise discrimination, and waveform reconstruction accuracy. BayesWave is most effective for signals that have very compact time-frequency representations. For binaries, where the signal time-frequency volume decreases with mass, we find that BayesWave's performance reaches or approaches theoretical optimal limits for system masses above approximately 50 M_sun. For such systems BayesWave is able to localise the source on the sky as well as templated Bayesian analyses that rely on a precise signal model, and it is better than timing-only triangulation in all cases. We also show that the discrimination of signals against glitches and noise closely follow analytical predictions, and that only a small fraction of signals are discarded as glitches at a false alarm rate of 1/100 y. Finally, the match between BayesWave- reconstructed signals and injected signals is broadly consistent with first-principles estimates of the maximum possible accuracy, peaking at about 0.95 for high mass systems and decreasing for lower-mass systems. These results demonstrate the potential of unmodelled signal reconstruction techniques for gravitational-wave astronomy.

description: We investigate some consequences of a specific non-conservation of the energy-momentum tensor on the physics of certain cosmic string configurations. This non-conservation is induced by a new gravitational theory recently introduced as an attempt to incorporate dissipative systems in the gravity description. This model of gravity is endowed with a variational principle, where an action-dependence on the geometric sector is assumed. For the Abelian-Higgs string we derive the dynamical equations and provide the numerical solutions describing the behavior of the Higgs and gauge fields as well as the profile of the metric functions for different cases of the parameter that characterises the model. Additionally, from this numerical approach we find how the inner structure of the cosmic string is affected by this underlying gravitational theory, by analyzing the deviations both on the mass per unit length and the deficit angle of the string. Next, we proceed with an analytical treatment obtaining the solution close to the string axis and also the corresponding vacuum solution. Our analytical results are also complemented with the study of a thick cosmic string model, where the defect is endowed with finite core. In this case we have obtained the proper interior solution which joined together with the vacuum metric outside provides an exact solution for the exterior geometry which generalizes previous results and leads to a decreasing of the mass per unit length of the cosmic string.

description: Chalcogenide glass-silver heterostructures are candidates for photoresist and diffractive optical applications. To optimize their processing, we report the kinetics of Ag photo-dissolution in As2S3 matrix using in-situ optical transmission/reflection measurements and real time atomic force microscopy (AFM) imaging under optical illumination. The results indicate that photodissolution occurs in three stages with the extent and kinetics of each stage depending strongly on Ag film thickness. By contrast, the photo-dissolution is found to be independent of As2S3 matrix thickness. The extent of three stages also depends strongly on the laser dose and can be reduced to two stages at higher laser fluence. A comparative study of two oppositely stacked sample configurations: As2S3/Ag/glass and Ag/As2S3/glass show that the heterostructures respond differently to light illumination. For the former, Ag dissolves completely into As2S3 matrix at a faster rate than for the latter case. The origin of this difference is established by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and AFM measurements.

description: The process of density field reconstruction enhances the statistical power of distance scale measurements using baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO). During this process a fiducial cosmology is assumed in order to convert sky coordinates and redshifts into distances; fiducial bias and redshift-space-distortion parameters are also assumed in this procedure. We analytically assess the impact of incorrect cosmology and bias assumptions on the post-reconstruction power spectra using low-order Lagrangian perturbation theory, deriving general expressions for the incorrectly reconstructed spectra. We find that the BAO peak location appears to shift only by a negligible amount due to wrong assumptions made during reconstruction. However, the shape of the BAO peak and the quadrupole amplitude can be affected by such errors (at the percent- and five-percent-level respectively), which potentially could cause small biases in parameter inference for future surveys; we outline solutions to such complications.

description: Massive companions in close orbits around G dwarfs are thought to undergo rapid orbital decay due to runaway tidal dissipation. We report here the discovery of WASP-128b, a brown dwarf discovered by the WASP survey transiting a G0V host on a $2.2\,\mathrm{d}$ orbit, where the measured stellar rotation rate places the companion in a regime where tidal interaction is dominated by dynamical tides. Under the assumption of dynamical equilibrium, we derive a value of the stellar tidal quality factor $\log{Q_\star'} = 6.96 \pm 0.19$. A combined analysis of ground-based photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy reveals a mass and radius of the host, $M_\star = 1.16 \pm 0.04\,M_\odot$, $R_\star = 1.16 \pm 0.02\,R_\odot$, and for the companion, $M_\mathrm{b} =37.5 \pm 0.8\,M_\mathrm{Jup}$, $R_\mathrm{b} = 0.94 \pm 0.02\,R_\mathrm{Jup}$, placing WASP-128b in the driest parts of the brown dwarf desert, and suggesting a mild inflation for its age. We estimate a remaining lifetime for WASP-128b similar to that of some ultra-short period massive hot Jupiters, and note it may be a propitious candidate for measuring orbital decay and testing tidal theories.

description: A novel method to prepare anodes for water electrolysis cells has been developed, which starts from layers of elemental manganese deposited by physical vapour deposition (PVD) on indium-doped tin oxide (ITO). Oxidation in dry air at 300 °C transforms this metallic Mn layer into a manganese(II)-rich MnOx coating (x = 1–1.3), which also contains a buried layer of an In–Sn alloy originating from reactions with the ITO support. The MnOx films are well connected to the underlying substrate and act as efficient catalysts for water-oxidation catalysis (WOC) at neutral pH. Detailed post-operando analyses using XRD, SEM, TEM and XAS revealed that the dense MnO/Mn3O4 film is virtually not affected by 2 h of electrochemical WOC at E ≈ +1.8 V vs. RHE, corresponding well to the observed good stability of catalytic currents, which is unusual for such thin layers of a MnOx catalyst. The current densities during electrolyses are so far low (i ≈ 50–100 μA cm−2 at pH 7), but optimization of the preparation process may allow for significant improvements. This new, rather easy, and adaptable preparation method for stable, thin-layer MnOx water-oxidation anodes could thus prove to be very useful for a variety of applications.
Effective Field Theories, Landau-Migdal Fermi-Liquid Theory and Effective Chiral Lagrangians for Nuclear Matter

description: We reinterpret Landau-Migdal Fermi-liquid theory of nuclear matter as an effective chiral field theory with a Fermi surface. The effective field theory is formulated in terms of a chiral Lagrangian with its {\it mass and coupling parameters} scaling a la Brown-Rho and with the Landau-Migdal parameters identified as the fixed points of the field theory. We show how this mapping works out for response functions to the EM vector current and then using the same reasoning, make prediction on nuclear axial current, in particular on the enhanced axial-charge transitions in heavy nuclei. We speculate on how to extrapolate the resulting theory which appears to be sound both theoretically and empirically up to normal nuclear matter density $ρ_0$, to hitherto unexplored higher density regime relevant to relativistic heavy-ion processes and to cold compact (neutron) stars.

Embryogenesis, trophic eggs, and early colony growth of myrmicine ants

description: Myrmicinae is the largest subfamily of ants (Formicidae, Hymenoptera) that encompass a great diversity of morphology, behavior, and life-histories. As model systems, ants have been used to address mainly questions of social cooperation, division of labor, and reproductive conflict, but little research has been accomplished to date on embryonic development of ants. In Chapter 1, I provide a brief summary of the current understanding of embryogenesis in insects, and specifically embryogenesis of ants. In Chapter 2, I use histology to characterize the embryonic development series of three myrmicine ant species, Atta texana and Mycocepurus smithii (both fungus-gardening ants), as well as Solenopsis invicta (red imported fire ant). These detailed developmental series of ant embryogenesis will be a foundation for future gene-regulatory studies of caste determination. I further study the gene expression patterns of two genes (wingless and engrailed) in A. texana, and I demonstrate that ants possess a mosaic embryogenesis combining features of both short and long germ-band development, which is different from the conventional long germ-band type development exhibited by the hymenopteran species Apis and Nasonia. In Chapter 3, I elucidate factors that optimize colony fitness during the early nest-founding stage of the fungus-gardening ant M. smithii, a species that typically founds nests by single queens (monogyny), but mature nests have multiple queens (polygyny). By varying the queen-to-worker ratio in small experimental colonies set up with a standardized fungus-garden biomass, I identify factors contributing to colony fitness and gyne reproduction in M. smithii. In Chapter 4, I describe the discovery of a third kind of egg laid by A. texana foundresses in addition to reproductive and trophic eggs, and I report the first observation of nanitic males in A. texana that were killed by the foundress queen shortly after the males' eclosion. This dissertation investigates embryogenesis of three myrmicine ant species, the survival strategies of M. smithii, and a so-far undescribed type of trophic egg laid by A. texana foundresses. Ants represent a unique lineage with independently evolved developmental patterns that will contribute to future comparative studies of embryogenesis among social insects.

Steady State Reduction of generalized Lotka-Volterra systems in the microbiome

Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)

description: The generalized Lotka-Volterra (gLV) equations, a classic model from theoretical ecology, describe the population dynamics of a set of interacting species. As the number of species in these systems grow in number, their dynamics become increasingly complex and intractable. We introduce Steady State Reduction (SSR), a method that reduces a gLV system of many ecological species into two-dimensional (2D) subsystems that each obey gLV dynamics and whose basis vectors are steady states of the high-dimensional model. We apply this method to an experimentally-derived model of the gut microbiome in order to observe the transition between "healthy" and "diseased" microbial states. Specifically, we use SSR to investigate how fecal microbiota transplantation, a promising clinical treatment for dysbiosis, can revert a diseased microbial state to health.

Nonlinear spherical Alfven waves

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present an one-dimensional numerical study of Alfven waves propagating along a radial magnetic field. Neglecting losses, any spherical Alfven wave, no matter how small its initial amplitude is, becomes nonlinear at sufficiently large radii. From previous simulations of Alfven waves in plane parallel atmospheres we did expect the waves to steepen and produce current sheets in the nonlinear regime, which was confirmed by our new calculations. On the other hand we did find that even the least nonlinear waves were damped out almost completely before 10 solar radii. A damping of that kind is required by models of Alfven wave-driven winds from old low-mass stars as these winds are mainly accelerated within a few stellar radii.

Searching a systematics for nonfactorizable contributions to hadronic decays of $ D^{0}$ and $ D^{+}$ mesons

description: We investigate nonfactorizable contributions to charm meson decays in $ D \rightarrow \bar K π$/ $ \bar K ρ$ /$ \bar K ^{*} π$ / $ \bar K a_{1}$ / $ \bar K ^{*} ρ$ modes. Obtaining the contributions from spectator-quark diagrams for $ N_{c}$ = 3, we determine nonfactorizable isospin 1/2 and 3/2 amplitudes required to explain the data for these modes. We observe that ratio of these amplitudes seem to follow a universal value.

Topological and Universal Aspects of Bosonized Interacting Fermionic Systems in (2+1)d

description: General results on the structure of the bosonization of fermionic systems in $(2+1)$d are obtained. In particular, the universal character of the bosonized topological current is established and applied to generic fermionic current interactions. The final form of the bosonized action is shown to be given by the sum of two terms. The first one corresponds to the bosonization of the free fermionic action and turns out to be cast in the form of a pure Chern-Simons term, up to a suitable nonlinear field redefinition. We show that the second term, following from the bosonization of the interactions, can be obtained by simply replacing the fermionic current by the corresponding bosonized expression.

description: Using polarized optical and magneto-optical spectroscopy, we have demonstrated universal aspects of electrodynamics associated with Dirac nodal-lines. We investigated anisotropic electrodynamics of NbAs$_2$ where the spin-orbit interaction triggers energy gaps along the nodal-lines, which manifest as sharp steps in the optical conductivity spectra. We show experimentally and theoretically that shifted 2D Dirac nodal-lines feature linear scaling $σ_1 (ω)\simω$, similar to 3D nodal-points. Massive Dirac nature of the nodal-lines are confirmed by magneto-optical data, which may also be indicative of theoretically predicted surface states. Optical data also offer a natural explanation for the giant magneto-resistance in NbAs$_2$.
