description: Aviculturists are enthusiastic to be included in conservation efforts by providing expertise or genetic stock to support captive-breeding or reintroduction programmes, but little work has explored these possibilities. Bringing organisms into captivity can have rapid and profound effects on behaviour, physiology, and population genetic diversity, which can have important consequences for viability of reintroduction and the extrapolation of captive experiments to wild counterparts. The Gouldian Finch (Erythrura gouldiae) is a popular avicultural species that is endangered in the wild, and potential flagship for such reintroduction efforts. Here we used microsatellite and mitochondrial markers to characterise genetic diversity within and among avicultural populations in the broader population of domesticated Gouldian Finches in Australia, and with respect to natural head-colour morphs and artificially selected plumage variation. Domesticated Gouldian Finches have reduced the number of genetic variants by 32–48% compared to current wild populations, as well as high relatedness, and genetic structure among aviculturists. Indeed, regardless of collection size no aviculturist approached the total diversity held among all breeders. Head-colour genotype frequencies were substantially different from the wild, potentially due to selection or non-random mating in the domesticated populations. Given the previously established relationship between head-colour and functional traits, and possible adaptation to captivity, we suggest caution before introducing domesticated stock into the wild. Indeed, the status quo of relatively closed populations is potentially susceptible to inbreeding depression and further loss of genetic diversity, and we recommend a nationwide genetics-aware approach to any reintroduction programmes.
New Linear Systems for 2D Poincare Supergravities

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new linear system is constructed for Poincaré supergravities in two dimensions. In contrast to previous results, which were based on the conformal gauge, this linear system involves the topological world sheet degrees of freedom (the Beltrami and super-Beltrami differentials). The associated spectral parameter likewise depends on these and is itself subject to a pair of differential equations, whose integrability condition yields one of the equations of motion. These results suggest the existence of an extension of the Geroch group mixing propagating and topological degrees of freedom on the world sheet. We also develop a chiral tensor formalism for arbitrary Beltrami differentials, in which the factorization of $2d$ diffeomorphisms is always manifest.

The impact of hysteresis on the electrocaloric effect at first-order phase transitions

description: We study the impact of thermal hysteresis at the first-order structural/ferroelectric phase transitions on the electrocaloric response in bulk BaTiO$_3$ by performing molecular dynamics simulations for a first-principles-based effective Hamiltonian. We demonstrate that the electrocaloric response can conceptually be separated in two contributions: a transitional part, stemming from the discontinuous jump in entropy at the first order phase transition, and a configurational part, due to the continuous change of polarization and entropy within each phase. This latter part increases with the strength of the applied field, but for small fields it is very small. In contrast, we find a large temperature change of $\sim 1$ K resulting from the transition entropy, which is essentially independent of the field strength. However, due to the coexistence region close to the first order phase transition, this large electrocaloric response depends on the thermal history of the sample and is generally not reversible. We show that this irreversibility can be overcome by using larger fields.

description: We study the nonlinear response to an external force of an inertial tracer advected by a two-dimensional incompressible laminar flow and subject to thermal noise. In addition to the driving external field $F$, the main parameters in the system are the noise amplitude $D_0$ and the characteristic Stokes time $τ$ of the tracer. The relation velocity vs force shows interesting effects, such as negative differential mobility (NDM), namely a non-monotonic behavior of the tracer velocity as a function of the applied force, and absolute negative mobility (ANM), i.e. a net motion against the bias. By extensive numerical simulations, we investigate the phase chart in the parameter space of the model, $(τ,D_0)$, identifying the regions where NDM, ANM and more common monotonic behaviors of the force-velocity curve are observed.

description: The relative intensity noise (RIN) of a solid state whispering-gallery-mode class-B laser is studied both theoretically and experimentally under different pumping regimes. In particular, we show that harmonics of the spiking frequency are observed in the RIN spectrum. A rate equation model including Langevin forces and the nonlinear coupling between inverted ion and photon number fluctuations has been developed to reproduce the experimental results and to extract relevant physical parameters from the fitting of the RIN spectrum.

Normal-Branch Quasi-Periodic Oscillations during the High Intensity State of Cygnus X-2

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Using data obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, we report the detection of a 5 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the bright low-mass X-ray binary and Z source Cygnus X-2 during high overall intensities (the high intensity state). This QPO was detected on the so-called normal branch and can be identified with the normal branch QPO or NBO. Our detection of the NBO is the first one during times when Cygnus X-2 was in the high intensity state. The rms amplitude of this QPO decreased from 2.8% between 2-3.1 keV to <1.9% between 5.0-6.5 keV. Above 6.5 keV, its amplitude rapidly increased to ~12% rms above 16 keV. The time lags of the QPO were consistent with being zero below 5 keV (compared to the 2-3.1 keV band), but they rapidly increased to ~70 ms around 10 keV, above which the time lags remained approximately constant near 70 ms. The photon energy dependencies of the rms amplitude and the time lags are very similar to those observed for the NBO with other satellites (Ginga, EXOSAT) at different (i.e. lower) intensity states.

Generation of coherent two-color pulses at the two adjacent harmonics in a seeded free-electron laser

description: The growing requirements of pump-probe techniques and nonlinear optics experiments greatly promote the studies of two-color free-electron lasers (FELs). We propose a new method to generate coherent two-color pulses in a high-gain harmonic generation (HGHG) FEL. In this scheme, an initial tilted electron beam is sent though the modulator and dispersive section of an HGHG FEL to generate the bunching at harmonics of the seed laser. Then a transverse gradient undulator (TGU) is adopted as the radiator and in such radiator, only two separated fractions of the tilted beam will resonate at two adjacent harmonics of the seed laser and are enabled to emit the coherent two-color pulses simultaneously. The time separation between the two pulses are on the order of hundreds of femtoseconds, and can be precisely controlled by varying the tilted amplitude of the electron beam and/or the transverse gradient of the TGU radiator. Numerical simulations confirm the validity and feasibility of this scheme in the EUV waveband.

description: We investigate local and nonlocal entanglement of particle pairs induced by direct and crossed Andreev reflections at the interfaces between a superconductor and two normal conductors. It is shown theoretically that both local and nonlocal entanglement can be quantified by concurrence and detected from the violation of a Bell inequality of spin current correlators, which are determined only by normal reflection and Andreev reflection eigenvalues. There exists a one-to-one correspondence between the concurrence and the maximal Bell-CHSH parameter in the tunneling limit.

description: Best practice for conservation translocations dictates that large founder cohorts be used, in part to ensure that the maximum genetic variation from the source population is captured. Population bottlenecks caused by low founder numbers are understood to typically have a detrimental effect on genetic diversity and promote inbreeding. However, for some species, translocating large numbers of individuals may require an unfeasible allocation of resources or have a harmful effect on the source. The Noisy Scrub-bird (Atrichornis clamosus) is a cryptic and rarely observed passerine that was once believed extinct, and translocations to successfully establish new populations have been instrumental in securing its future. However, due to the inherent difficulties in capturing this elusive bird, these populations have been founded from only 11 to 31 individuals. We used 10 microsatellite markers to compare the genetics of the original source to the two extant translocated populations. Allelic diversity and heterozygosity were generally low but highest in the source population. Although translocations seem not to have conferred significant additional losses, relatedness, inbreeding and mean kinship were highest in the population founded with just 11 individuals. Despite historical evidence to the contrary, we found a bottleneck signature in just one population. The two translocated populations displayed significant differentiation from each other and there was evidence of spatial genetic structure between these populations. Additionally, there was some evidence of cryptic subdivision (Wahlund Effect). In light of these findings, we make recommendations for future management actions to help retain what genetic diversity remains.

description: Twist, as a simple and unique degree of freedom, could lead to enormous novel quantum phenomena in bilayer graphene. A small rotation angle introduces low-energy van Hove singularities (VHSs) approaching the Fermi level, which result in unusual correlated states in the bilayer graphene. It is reasonable to expect that the twist could also affect the electronic properties of few-layer graphene dramatically. However, such an issue has remained experimentally elusive. Here, by using scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS), we systematically studied a twisted trilayer graphene (TTG) with two different small twist angles between adjacent layers. Two sets of VHSs originating from the two twist angles were observed in the TTG, indicating that the TTG could be simply regarded as a combination of two different twisted bilayer graphene. By using high-resolution STS, we observed split of the VHSs and directly imaged spatial symmetry breaking of electronic states around the VHSs. These results suggest that electron-electron interactions play an important role in affecting the electronic properties of graphene systems with low-energy VHSs.

description: We report the detection of well resolved, extended X-ray emission from the young planetary nebula BD+303639 using the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) aboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The X-ray emission from BD+303639 appears to lie within, but is concentrated to one side of, the interior of the shell of ionized gas seen in high-resolution optical and IR images. The relatively low X-ray temperature (Tx ~ 3x10^6 K) and asymmetric morphology of the X-ray emission suggests that conduction fronts are present and/or mixing of shock-heated and photoionized gas has occurred and, furthermore, hints at the presence of magnetic fields. The ACIS spectrum suggests that the X-ray emitting region is enriched in the products of helium burning. Our detection of extended X-ray emission from BD+303639 demonstrates the power and utility of Chandra imaging as applied to the study of planetary nebulae.

description: We consider in detail the calculation of the decay rate of high-energy superluminal neutrinos against (charged) lepton pair Cerenkov radiation (LPCR), and neutrino pair Cerenkov radiation (NPCR), i.e., against the decay channels nu -> nu e+ e- and nu -> nu nubar nu. Under the hypothesis of a tachyonic nature of neutrinos, these decay channels put constraints on the lifetime of high-energy neutrinos for terrestrial experiments as well as on cosmic scales. For the oncoming neutrino, we use the Lorentz-covariant tachyonic relation E_nu = (p^2 - m_nu^2)^(1/2), where m_nu is the tachyonic mass parameter. We derive both threshold conditions as well as decay and energy loss rates, using the plane-wave fundamental bispinor solutions of the tachyonic Dirac equation. Various intricacies of rest frame versus lab frame calculations are highlighted. The results are compared to the observations of high-energy IceCube neutrinos of cosmological origin.

description: Diving petrels (genus Pelecanoides) are a group of small Southern Ocean seabirds whose taxonomy has remained problematic due to a lack of morphological diversity between species and limited availability of genetic data. Here we examine the phylogenetic relationships of the Pelecanoides diving petrels with analyses of the mitochondrial cytochrome b gene, focusing in particular, on the recently described and critically endangered Whenua Hou Diving Petrel (P. whenuahouensis). Pelecanoides whenuahouensis showed only minor sequence divergence from its sister species, the South Georgian Diving Petrel (P. georgicus), comparable to divergence levels observed between subspecies of the Common Diving Petrel (P. urinatrix). The paratype of P. whenuahouensis, which was collected from the now extinct population on the Auckland Islands, is genetically indistinguishable from P. georgicus raising the question of which species formerly bred on these subantarctic islands. Our genetic analyses provide insights into the phylogeography and evolutionary history of Pelecanoides and will help inform the conservation of the critically endangered Whenua Hou Diving Petrel.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: Little Spotted Kiwi (LSK; Apteryx owenii) have the lowest genetic diversity of five currently recognised kiwi species apparently due to a bottleneck when at most five individuals were translocated to Kapiti Island in 1912. Ancient DNA analyses show that LSK also had the lowest genetic diversity of kiwi species historically, possibly due to population bottlenecks during Pleistocene glaciation. We compare genetic diversity between LSK from Kapiti Island (extant), D’Urville Island (extinct) and the South Island of mainland New Zealand (extinct) at 495 bp of the mitochondrial control region (mtDNA) and 15 nuclear microsatellite loci (nDNA). Despite higher sample sizes in extant (n = 31 mtDNA, 97 nDNA) than recently extinct (n = 10 mtDNA, 9 nDNA) populations, extant LSK have at least 78% fewer mtDNA haplotypes and 52% fewer microsatellite alleles than recently extinct LSK. Extant LSK were strongly divergent from historical LSK for both mtDNA and nDNA (FST = 0.237 to 0.480), but showed greatest similarity with historical samples from Fiordland near the putative source population of Kapiti founders. Microsatellite data suggest that Kapiti LSK could have arisen from as few as three birds and our mtDNA data show that at least two of the founders were female. Our results indicate that substantial genetic diversity has been lost with the recent extinctions of remnant populations. Locating and protecting any last surviving individuals in presumed extinct populations will require intensive conservation efforts, but could also provide an invaluable source of genetic diversity for the species.
Sparsity information and regularization in the horseshoe and other shrinkage priors

description: The horseshoe prior has proven to be a noteworthy alternative for sparse Bayesian estimation, but has previously suffered from two problems. First, there has been no systematic way of specifying a prior for the global shrinkage hyperparameter based on the prior information about the degree of sparsity in the parameter vector. Second, the horseshoe prior has the undesired property that there is no possibility of specifying separately information about sparsity and the amount of regularization for the largest coefficients, which can be problematic with weakly identified parameters, such as the logistic regression coefficients in the case of data separation. This paper proposes solutions to both of these problems. We introduce a concept of effective number of nonzero parameters, show an intuitive way of formulating the prior for the global hyperparameter based on the sparsity assumptions, and argue that the previous default choices are dubious based on their tendency to favor solutions with more unshrunk parameters than we typically expect a priori. Moreover, we introduce a generalization to the horseshoe prior, called the regularized horseshoe, that allows us to specify a minimum level of regularization to the largest values. We show that the new prior can be considered as the continuous counterpart of the spike-and-slab prior with a finite slab width, whereas the original horseshoe resembles the spike-and-slab with an infinitely wide slab. Numerical experiments on synthetic and real world data illustrate the benefit of both of these theoretical advances.

description: Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy in the Very High Energy (VHE, E>100 GeV) regime has fast become one of the most interesting and productive sub-fields of astrophysics today. Utilizing the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Technique (IACT) to reconstruct the energy and direction of incoming gamma-ray photons from the universe, several source-classes have been revealed by previous and current generations of IACT telescopes (e.g. Whipple, MAGIC, HESS and VERITAS). The next generation pointing IACT experiment, the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), will provide increased sensitivity across a wider energy range and with better angular resolution. With the development of CTA, the future of IACT pointing arrays is being directed towards having more and more telescopes (and hence cameras), and therefore the need to develop low-cost pixels with acceptable light-collection efficiency is clear. One of the primary paths to the above goal is to replace Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) with Silicon-PMs (SiPMs) as the pixels in IACT telescope cameras. However SiPMs are not yet mature enough to replace PMTs for several reasons: sensitivity to unwanted longer wavelengths while lacking sensitivity at short wavelengths, small physical area, high cost, optical cross-talk and dark rates. Here we propose a novel method to build relatively low-cost SiPM-based pixels utilising a disk of wavelength-shifting material, which overcomes some of these drawbacks by collecting light over a larger area than standard SiPMs and improving sensitivity to shorter wavelengths while reducing background. We aim to optimise the design of such pixels, integrating them into an actual 7-pixel cluster which will be inserted into a MAGIC camera and tested during real observations. Results of simulations, laboratory measurements and the current status of the cluster design and development will be presented.

Black hole in a waveguide: Hawking radiation or self-phase modulation?
Creators: name: Smolyaninov, Igor I.

Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: Recently it was suggested that Hawking radiation may be observed in a nonlinear electromagnetic waveguide upon propagation of an optical pulse. We show that the spectral characteristics of the Hawking effect in such a waveguide are indistinguishable from the well-known effect of frequency broadening of an optical pulse due to self-phase modulation. Furthermore, we derive an estimate on the critical optical power at which Hawking effect is dominated by the self-phase modulation. It appears that optical experiments reported so far are clearly dominated by self-phase modulation.

description: We report the discovery of four Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in the ongoing SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts (SUPERB) at the Parkes Radio Telescope: FRBs 150610, 151206, 151230 and 160102. Our real-time discoveries have enabled us to conduct extensive, rapid multi-messenger follow-up at 12 major facilities sensitive to radio, optical, X-ray, gamma-ray photons and neutrinos on time scales ranging from an hour to a few months post-burst. No counterparts to the FRBs were found and we provide upper limits on afterglow luminosities. None of the FRBs were seen to repeat. Formal fits to all FRBs show hints of scattering while their intrinsic widths are unresolved in time. FRB 151206 is at low Galactic latitude, FRB 151230 shows a sharp spectral cutoff, and FRB 160102 has the highest dispersion measure (DM = $2596.1\pm0.3$ pc cm$^{-3}$) detected to date. Three of the FRBs have high dispersion measures (DM >$1500$ pc cm$^{-3}$), favouring a scenario where the DM is dominated by contributions from the Intergalactic Medium. The slope of the Parkes FRB source counts distribution with fluences $>2$ Jyms is $α=-2.2^{+0.6}_{-1.2}$ and still consistent with a Euclidean distribution ($α=-3/2$). We also find that the all-sky rate is $1.7^{+1.5}_{-0.9}\times10^3$FRBs/($4π$ sr)/day above $\sim2$ Jyms and there is currently no strong evidence for a latitude-dependent FRB sky-rate.

Body Schema as Assessed by Upper Limb Left/Right Judgment Tasks Is Altered in Stroke: Implications for Motor Imagery Training

description: Background and Purpose: Individuals with stroke often experience significant impairment of the upper limb. Rehabilitation interventions targeting the upper limb are typically associated with only small to moderate gains. The knowledge that body schema can be altered in other upper limb conditions has contributed to the development of tailored rehabilitation approaches. This study investigated whether individuals with stroke experienced alterations in body schema of the upper limb. If so, this knowledge may have implications for rehabilitation approaches such as motor imagery. Methods: An observational study performed online consisting of left/right judgment tasks assessed by response time and accuracy of: (i) left/right direction recognition; (ii) left/right shoulder laterality recognition; (iii) left/right hand laterality recognition; (iv) mental rotation of nonembodied objects. Comparisons were made between individuals with and without stroke. Secondary comparisons were made in the stroke population according to side of stroke and side of pain if experienced. Results: A total of 895 individuals (445 with stroke) participated. Individuals with stroke took longer for all tasks compared to those without stroke, and were less accurate in correctly identifying the laterality of shoulder (P < 0.001) and hand (P < 0.001) images, and the orientation of nonembodied objects (P < 0.001). Moreover, the differences observed in the hand and shoulder tasks were greater than what was observed for the control tasks of directional recognition and nonembodied mental rotation. No significant differences were found between left/right judgments of individuals with stroke according to stroke-affected side or side of pain. Discussion and Conclusions: Left/right judgments of upper limb are frequently impaired after stroke, providing evidence of alterations in body schema. The knowledge that body schemas are altered in individuals with longstanding stroke may assist in the development of optimal, well-accepted motor imagery programs for the upper limb.
WFPC2 Observations of Massive and Compact Young Star Clusters in M31

description: We present color magnitude diagrams of four blue massive and compact star clusters in M31: G38, G44, G94, and G293. The diagrams of the four clusters reveal a well-populated upper main sequence and various numbers of supergiants. The U-B and B-V colors of the upper main sequence stars are used to determine reddening estimates of the different lines of sight in the M31 disk. Reddening values range from E(B-V) = 0.20 +/- 0.10 to 0.31 +/- 0.11. We statistically remove field stars on the basis of completeness, magnitude and color. Isochrone fits to the field-subtracted, reddening-corrected diagrams yield age estimates ranging from 63 +/- 15 Myr to 160 +/- 60 Myr. Implications for the recent evolution of the disk near NGC 206 are discussed.

Additional Symmetries of Supersymmetric KP Hierarchies

description: We investigate the additional symmetries of several supersymmetric KP hierarchies: the SKP hierarchy of Manin and Radul, the $\hbox{SKP}_2$ hierarchy, and the Jacobian SKP hierarchy. In all three cases we find that the algebra of symmetries is isomorphic to the algebra of superdifferential operators, or equivalently $\SW_{1+\infty}$. These results seem to suggest that despite their realization depending on the dynamics, the additional symmetries are kinematical in nature.

description: We discovered a new metastable polaron-supporting phase in pristine films of a soluble derivative of poly-p-phenylene vinylene (MEH-PPV) that is induced by UV illumination. In the initial un-illuminated phase A, the films do not show long-lived photogenerated polarons. However, prolonged UV illumination for several hours induces a reversible, me-tastable phase B that shows abundant long-lived photogenerated polarons. Phase B films transform back to the original phase A within 1/2 hour in the dark at room temperature. We propose a reversible mechanism in which UV illumination creates metastable deep defects that substantially increase the photogenerated polaron lifetime.

Flavour Violating Axions

description: I review the physics case for flavour violating axions. In particular, I argue that relaxing the assumption of the universality of the Peccei-Quinn current opens up new pathways, including: the relaxation of the Supernova bound on the axion mass, a possible connection with the Standard Model flavour puzzle and the experimental opportunity of discovering the axion via flavoured axion searches.
