description: We study the effects of collective neutrino oscillations on $νp$ process nucleosynthesis in proton-rich neutrino-driven winds by including both the multi-angle $3\times3$ flavor mixing and the nucleosynthesis network calculation. The number flux of energetic electron antineutrinos is raised by collective neutrino oscillations in a $1$D supernova model for $40 M_{\odot}$ progenitor. When the gas temperature decreases down to $\sim2-3\times10^{9}$ K, the increased flux of electron antineutrinos promotes $νp$ process more actively, resulting in the enhancement of $p$-nuclei. In the early phase of neutrino-driven wind, blowing at $0.6$ s after core bounce, oscillation effects are prominent in inverted mass hierarchy and $p$-nuclei are synthesized up to $^{106}\mathrm{Cd}$ and $^{108}\mathrm{Cd}$. On the other hand, in the later wind trajectory at $1.1$ s after core bounce, abundances of $p$-nuclei are increased remarkably by $\sim10-10^{4}$ times in normal mass hierarchy and even reaching heavier $p$-nuclei such as $^{124}\mathrm{Xe}$, $^{126}\mathrm{Xe}$ and $^{130}\mathrm{Ba}$. The averaged overproduction factor of $p$-nuclei is dominated by the later wind trajectories. Our results demonstrate that collective neutrino oscillations can strongly influence $νp$ process, which indicates that they should be included in the network calculations in order to obtain precise abundances of $p$-nuclei. The conclusions of this paper depend on the difference of initial neutrino parameters between electron and non-electron antineutrino flavors which is large in our case. Further systematic studies on input neutrino physics and wind trajectories are necessary to draw a robust conclusion. However, this finding would help understand the origin of solar-system isotopic abundances of $p$-nuclei such as $^{92,94}\mathrm{Mo}$ and $^{96,98}\mathrm{Ru}$.

description: Divisibility of dynamical maps is visualized by trajectories in the parameter space and analyzed within the framework of collision models. We introduce ultimate completely positive (CP) divisible processes, which lose CP divisibility under infinitesimal perturbations, and characterize Pauli dynamical semigroups exhibiting such a property. We construct collision models with factorized environment particles, which realize additivity and multiplicativity of generators of CP divisible maps. A mixture of dynamical maps is obtained with the help of correlated environment. Mixture of ultimate CP divisible processes is shown to result in a new class of eternal CP indivisible evolutions. We explicitly find collision models leading to weakly and essentially non-Markovian Pauli dynamical maps.

description: An inverse obstacle problem for the wave equation in a two layered medium is considered. It is assumed that the unknown obstacle is penetrable and embedded in the lower half-space. The wave as a solution of the wave equation is generated by an initial data whose support is in the upper half-space and observed at the same place as the support over a finite time interval. From the observed wave an indicator function in the time domain enclosure method is constructed. It is shown that, one can find some information about the geometry of the obstacle together with the qualitative property in the asymptotic behavior of the indicator function.

A low density of the Extragalactic Background Light revealed by the H.E.S.S. spectra of the BLLac objects 1ES 1101-232 and H 2356-309

description: The unexpectedly hard spectra measured by HESS for the BLLacs 1ES 1101-232 and H 2356-309 has allowed an upper limit on the Extragalactic Background Light (EBL) to be derived in the optical/near-infrared range, which is very close to the lower limit given by the resolved galaxy counts. This result seems to exclude a large contribution to the EBL from other sources (e.g. Population III stars) and indicates that the intergalactic space is more transparent to gamma-rays than previously thought. A brief discussion of EBL absorption effects on blazar spectra and further observational tests to check this conclusion are presented, including the selection of new candidates for observations with Cherenkov telescopes.

description: As of 1998, electric utility companies burning coal or oil are required to report their annual releases of toxic chemicals to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), a national compilation of multimedia (air, water, land) releases of over 600 chemicals and chemical categories designated as toxic by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). TRI reports for 1998 must be filed with EPA by July 1, 1999, but results of the 1998 inventory not expected until mid-2000. To estimate the impact of utility emissions on TRI results, this paper uses historical data to estimate the magnitude of toxic releases for the electric utility sector relative to other industry groups in 1995. The analysis uses a public database of coal consumption for each coal-burning power plant in the United States to estimate reportable releases based on regional trace element coal characteristics and site-specific plant data. When aggregated to the national level, releases from the electric utility industry were found to exceed those of any of the manufacturing industries reporting to the TRI in 1995. These results suggest that the addition of power plants to the TRI could significantly change the rankings of chemicals, industries and facilities listed by EPA in its annual TRI report. Since the TRI gives only mass emissions without regard to the relative toxicity or risk from chemical releases there will be an increased need for risk communication programs to explain and interpret the new TRI results to the public.

description: During the Second World War my Dad was evacuated to Torquay with his mother and sister. They were lucky enough to be able to stay near an Aunt who had also been evacuated with her son. My Grandfather was in a protected occupation in London so he remained in the City and would come and visit his family at weekends.On one such weekend the family were on the beach at Torquay when a squadron of German fighters who had dropped their bombs on Plymouth flew up the Devon coast and started shooting indiscriminately. All children had been taught to "hit the deck" if there was danger as you were less likely to be hit by gunfire or falling debris so my Dad did just this on the sand. He was quite some way away from his parents so could not see them.
An off duty sailor was near my father and instinctively threw himself on top of my Dad to protect the six year old boy. They remained like this for several minutes.
After the danger had passed my grandfather came running over to my Dad and the sailor and gave him a £20 note (which was a lot of money in those days). When I asked my Dad why Grandpa was carrying that kind of money on the beach he explained that you didn't leave anything valuable at home as you never knew if it would still be standing when you returned.

description: We present some estimates for the memory kernel function in the generalized Langevin equation, derived using the Mori-Zwanzig formalism from a one-dimensional lattice model, in which the particles interactions are through nearest and second nearest neighbors. The kernel function can be explicitly expressed in a matrix form. The analysis focuses on the decay properties, both spatially and temporally, revealing a power-law behavior in both cases. The dependence on the level of coarse-graining is also studied.

description: Security enhancement is important in terms of both classical and quantum information. The recent development of a quantum storage device is noteworthy, and a coherence time of one second or longer has been demonstrated. On the other hand, although the encryption of a quantum bit or quantum memory has been proposed theoretically, no experiment has yet been carried out. Here we report the demonstration of a quantum memory with an encryption function that is realized by scrambling and retrieving the recorded quantum phase. We developed two independent Ramsey interferometers on an atomic ensemble trapped below a persistent supercurrent atom chip. By operating the two interferometers with random phases, the quantum phase recorded by a pulse of the first interferometer was modulated by the second interferometer pulse. The scrambled quantum phase was restored by employing another pulse of the second interferometer with a specific time delay. This technique paves way for improving the security of quantum information technology.

These physical quantities can be related to the equation of state for quarks and gluons. We shall apply the lattice data to the evaluation of the specific structure of the gluon and quark condensates at finite temperature in relation to the deconfinement and chiral phase transitions. Finally we mention the quantum nature of the phases at lower temperatures.

description: James (Jim) Halliday was a coal miner from Dalmellington in Ayrshire when he signed up for the Navy at age 20.After training he served aboard HMS Esk (pennant H15), a fast minelayer Destroyer. During his service on Esk, he was offered the chance to leave the navy and return to coal mining, an offer refused due to loyalty to his crew mates. Late 1939 was fairly routine, laying minefields and carrying out Escort duties, but 1940 was different. Jim was onboard Esk during the battle of Norway and operated off of Narvik alongside other Royal Navy ships including being with HMS Glowworm prior to her getting split from the fleet and her famous last stand. Among some of Jim's war trophies are some belongings of the Nazi political officer of SS Alster, captured by HMS Icarus with assistance from HMS Esk.HMS Esk was then called up to Operation Dynamo, the evacuation from Dunkirk, she was there for the duration of Dynamo, taking troops from the beach initially before evacuating from the Mole. On the 1st of June Esk came to the rescue of SS Scotia which was aflame and sinking after being bombed by the Luftwaffe. Scotia was carrying mainly French troops and Jim was on deck pulling survivors onboard. One of those he hauled onboard was a Senegalese soldier who was mortally wounded and who Jim comforted in his final moments. They shared no common language, but presumably in gratitude or camaraderie, the soldier pushed his bayonet toward Jim in a gesture of wanting him to have it. He passed shortly after. At the end of Dynamo, Esk had lost one crew, had rescued thousands of troops and had been damaged by the constant bombardment. While she was under repair, Jim came home for what would be his final leave. Upon his return to his ship, Jim returned to laying minefields but late on the 31st of August, his flotilla was ordered to dump mines and intercept a suspected German invasion fleet off the coast of Holland. In the process, HMS Express and HMS Ivanhoe struck mines from an uncharted German minefield. The order was given to sail into the minefield for Esk to pick up survivors but in doing so Esk herself hit a mine, exploding moments later and taking over 130 of her crew to the bottom with her. Jim's body was washed up on one of the German Friesian islands sometime later and was buried in the local churchyard by the local population. At the war's end, his body was moved to the Commonwealth War Cemetery in Kiel. Esk & Jim fought for exactly a year from the start of WW2, but a lot was packed into that year. It is worth reading Herbert Vaughan's account of Esk's war and sinking on Scarborough Maritime Heritage's website for more detail.

description: Neuromorphic computing systems comprise networks of neurons that use asynchronous events for both computation and communication. This type of representation offers several advantages in terms of bandwidth and power consumption in neuromorphic electronic systems. However, managing the traffic of asynchronous events in large scale systems is a daunting task, both in terms of circuit complexity and memory requirements. Here we present a novel routing methodology that employs both hierarchical and mesh routing strategies and combines heterogeneous memory structures for minimizing both memory requirements and latency, while maximizing programming flexibility to support a wide range of event-based neural network architectures, through parameter configuration. We validated the proposed scheme in a prototype multi-core neuromorphic processor chip that employs hybrid analog/digital circuits for emulating synapse and neuron dynamics together with asynchronous digital circuits for managing the address-event traffic. We present a theoretical analysis of the proposed connectivity scheme, describe the methods and circuits used to implement such scheme, and characterize the prototype chip. Finally, we demonstrate the use of the neuromorphic processor with a convolutional neural network for the real-time classification of visual symbols being flashed to a dynamic vision sensor (DVS) at high speed.

description: As part of DOE/NETL’s Carbon Sequestration Program, we are developing an integrated, multi-pollutant modeling framework to evaluate the costs and performance of alternative carbon capture and sequestration technologies for fossil-fueled power plants. The model calculates emissions, costs, and efficiency on a systematic basis at the level of an individual plant or facility. Both new and existing facilities can be modeled, including coal-based or natural gas-based combustion or gasification systems using air or oxygen. CO2 storage options include various types of geologic formations, as well as ocean and terrestrial sinks. A key feature of the integrated modeling framework is the explicit characterization of uncertainties in model inputs and results using a probabilistic (stochastic simulation) capability. This capability provides quantitative estimates of the technological and economic risks associated with alternative CO2 capture and sequestration technologies. This paper reviews the goals and scope of this project and presents preliminary results for the case of carbon capture from coal combustion.

description: Background Stroke is a leading cause of disability in the United States, resulting in physical, cognitive, and emotional impairments. One in ten strokes occur in adults younger than 50 years of age and the incidence has increased approximately 44% from 2000 to 2010. Young adult survivors have specific needs related to their developmental stage including childcare responsibilities. Despite the high value placed on parenting by society, parenting is currently not assessed at any stage of stroke rehabilitation. Objective To determine the state of the science on parenting after stroke Methods A literature search of multiple electronic databases was conducted from 1964 to February 2018. Select key words were adapted for use in each database. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses guidelines were followed. Results One thousand two hundred and forty-one articles were identified from electronic databases. After deduplication, abstract/title review, and full-text review, ten studies were included. Nine of the studies were qualitative and one was a retrospective cohort study. Survivors in all but one of the qualitative studies reported limitations in parenting tasks after stroke. Changes in social relationships and participation as a parent in other life domains as a result of stroke were also described by survivors. Conclusion Findings from this systematic review of the perspectives of stroke survivors actively parenting suggest that residual stroke impairments lead to both activity limitations and participation restrictions. However, the literature available on parenting after stroke is limited and there is a significant opportunity to advance this area of stroke research.

description: An increasing number of young massive clusters (YMCs) in the Magellanic Clouds have been found to exhibit bimodal or extended main sequences (MSs) in their color--magnitude diagrams (CMDs). These features are usually interpreted in terms of a coeval stellar population with different stellar rotational rates, where the blue and red MS stars are populated by non- (or slowly) and rapidly rotating stellar populations, respectively. However, some studies have shown that an age spread of several million years is required to reproduce the observed wide turn-off regions in some YMCs. Here we present the ultraviolet--visual CMDs of four Large and Small Magellanic Cloud YMCs, NGC 330, NGC 1805, NGC 1818, and NGC 2164, based on high-precision Hubble Space Telescope photometry. We show that they all exhibit extended main-sequence turn-offs (MSTOs). The importance of age spreads and stellar rotation in reproducing the observations is investigated. The observed extended MSTOs cannot be explained by stellar rotation alone. Adopting an age spread of 35--50 Myr can alleviate this difficulty. We conclude that stars in these clusters are characterized by ranges in both their ages and rotation properties, but the origin of the age spread in these clusters remains unknown.

description: The production of dijets with a leading neutron in ep-interactions at HERA is calculated in leading order and next-to-leading order of perturbative QCD using a pion-exchange model. Differential cross sections for deep-inelastic scattering (DIS) and photoproduction are presented as a function of several kinematic variables. By comparing the theoretical predictions for DIS dijets to recent H1 data, the pion flux factor together with the parton distribution functions of the pion is determined. The dijet cross sections in photoproduction show factorization breaking if compared to the H1 photoproduction data. The suppression factor is S = 0.48 (0.64) for resolved (global) suppression.

Organisational culture and its influence on physicians’ consultation style in Hong Kong
Creators: name: Chan, Joyce
Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: Chronic diseases are considered to be a global health system challenge, contributing to 60% of all deaths worldwide in 2005. There is a recognised need for patients with chronic diseases to make regular medication decisions with their GPs as an essential part of consultations. A growing body of evidence from the UK, the United States and China has suggested a link between GPs’ involvement of patients and information sharing in treatment decisions and improved communication and clinical performance. Charles and colleagues (1999) proposed a continuum of consultation models with increasing patient engagement, the one-way GP-dominant “paternalistic” style, the two-way “shared decision-making” (SDM) style, and the one-way patient-dominant “informed” style. These models illustrate various levels of involvement and knowledge sharing between GPs and patients in the treatment decision-making process. Yet, there is a lack of evidence to determine how organisational culture drives different consultation styles and improves decisional communication in Asian countries. Therefore, this qualitative study explored GPs and primary care managers’ perceptions of organisational culture within public and private healthcare organisations in Hong Kong, and how these perceptions influence GPs’ consultation style during medication consultations with patients with chronic diseases. Themes were generated from in-depth individual interviews with fourteen GPs and five primary care managers, based on two analytical frameworks, the Hofstede cultural dimension theory (2001/2011) and Hofstede’s multi-focus model of organisational culture (1990). Four themes concerning national culture, organisational culture, the system-, practice- and individual factors, as well as the financing and service level initiatives to drive cultural changes, were identified as influencing GPs’ consultation styles. The study highlighted that an engaging management style and customer-focused and mandatory learning cultures within healthcare organisations promoted greater use of two-way consultation styles by GPs during the consultation. In contrast, the study also found that authoritative, profit-driven and voluntary learning cultures within healthcare organisations promoted more one-way consultation styles, such as the paternalistic or informed styles. Thus, this study contributes to a better understanding of the positive and negative influences of national and organisational cultures on GPs’ practice of SDM with patients in discussions of chronic disease management across public and private healthcare organisations in an Eastern Asian country. Further research on the national culture of health care financing and patients’ influences on consultation styles is needed before the association between organisational culture and consultation style can be comprehensively understood.

description: We present optical photometry and spectra of the peculiar Type Ib supernova (SN) 2006jc. Strong and relatively narrow He I emission lines indicate the progenitor star exploded inside a dense circumstellar medium (CSM) rich in He. An exceptionally blue apparent continuum persists from our first spectrum obtained 15 days after discovery through our last spectrum ~1 month later. Based on the presence of isolated Fe II emission lines, we interpret the blue "continuum" as blended, perhaps fluorescent, Fe emission. One or two of the reddest He I line profiles in our spectra are double peaked, suggesting that the CSM has an aspherical geometry. The He I lines that are superposed on the blue continuum show P-Cygni profiles, while the redder He I lines do not, implying that the blue continuum also originates from an asymmetric mass distribution. The He-rich CSM, aspherical geometry, and line velocities indicate that the progenitor star was a WNE Wolf-Rayet (WR) star. A recent (2 years before the SN), coincident, luminous outburst similar to those seen in luminous blue variables (LBVs) is the leading candidate for the dense CSM. Such an eruption associated with a WR star has not been seen before, indicating that the progenitor star may have recently transitioned from the LBV phase. We also present unpublished spectral and photometric data on SN 2002ao which, along with SN 1999cq, is very similar to SN 2006jc. We propose that these three objects may represent a new and distinct class of SNe arising from WR progenitors surrounded by a dense CSM.

description: We consider the most accurate tests of bound state QED, precision theory of simple atoms, related to the hyperfine splitting in light hydrogen-like atoms. We discuss the HFS interval of the 1s state in muonium and positronium and of the 2s state in hydrogen, deuterium and helium-3 ion. We summarize their QED theory and pay attention to involved effects of strong interactions. We also consider recent optical measurements of the 2s HFS interval in hydrogen and deuterium.

description: Project Lx Conventos aims to study, in a systematic and integrated manner, the impact of the dissolution of religious orders in the dynamics of urban transformation in nineteenth century Lisbon. After the liberal revolution and the civil war, in the 19th century, the dissolution of religious orders led to the alienation, in Lisbon, of nearly 130 religious buildings which were then given profane occupations (mainly public services) or demolished and divided in plots, originating new urban realities. Project Lx Conventos thus aims to show that the extinction of the convents was decisive in the urban development of Lisbon, in the eighteen hundreds. The project stands on a large set of multimedia data which includes historic and contemporary cartography and geo-referenced photos, videos and 3D models, provided by the projects partners, Lisbon Municipality and the Portuguese National Archive, Torre do Tombo. Supported by these materials, the project's team is creating an online system that will implement a spatial and temporal navigation of these resources integrated in an interactive Map of Lisbon. Besides spatially locating and analyzing the data available for each of the religious buildings considered in the project, the tool integrates cutting edge interaction technology for: 1) Enabling a temporal voyage over the available traces of religious buildings; 2) Analyzing the evolution of religious buildings and their surroundings, through available data; 3) Using 3D representations of the buildings for accessing related data, through time. In this paper, the tools under development in the context of Lx Conventos are described, as well as the technologies supporting them. The current status of the system is presented and future developments are proposed.

description: My father, Alan Francis, was born in April 1930. He lived in Wembley and was not evacuated. Many of his school friends were evacuated to Canada on a ship called the City of Benares. Sadly, the ship was torpedoed, and they were all killed.One night, my Dad's house was hit by a bomb. The semi next door was flattened, and part of their house was damaged. My Dad's mother was killed, but his father, little brother Robin, and himself survived. He used to sleep under the ironing board every night; it saved his life.My Dad has an amazing memory and many stories to tell. He has been volunteering at the IWM for many years and is 93. He made a documentary a few years ago with my daughter for the BBC.

description: The mixed morphology class of supernova remnants has centrally peaked X-ray emission along with a shell-like morphology in radio emission. White & Long proposed that these remnants are evolving in a cloudy medium wherein the clouds are evaporated via thermal conduction once being overrun by the expanding shock. Their analytical model made detailed predictions regarding temperature, density and emission profiles as well as shock evolution. We present numerical hydrodynamical models in 2D and 3D including thermal conduction, testing the White & Long model and presenting results for the evolution and emission from remnants evolving in a cloudy medium. We find that, while certain general results of the White & Long model hold, such as the way the remnants expand and the flattening of the X-ray surface brightness distribution, in detail there are substantial differences. In particular we find that the X-ray luminosity is dominated by emission from shocked cloud gas early on, leading to a bright peak which then declines and flattens as evaporation becomes more important. In addition, the effects of thermal conduction on the intercloud gas, which is not included in the White & Long model, are important and lead to further flattening of the X-ray brightness profile as well as lower X-ray emission temperatures.

description: Beginning in 1998, coal-fired and oil-fired power plants will be required to estimate and report their annual mass emissions to the national Toxic Release Inventory (TRI). The TRI is a publicly reported inventory of emissions to air, water and land of approximately 600 chemicals designated as “toxic” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This paper reviews the current status of TRI reporting requirements for electric utilities. The recently enhanced version of the EPRI PISCES Model is used to estimate the magnitude of reportable TRI emissions, and their uncertainties, for a variety of typical power plant designs, operating conditions, and fuel choices. The ability of environmental control technologies and plant operating practices to reduce emissions of TRI chemicals also is explored using the PISCES Model.
Fiji Macro for measuring distance of cells to a an helminth parasite

Publisher: name: Zenodo

Subjects: Distance, larvae, helminth, cells

description: Analysis workflow of neutrophil and monocyte recruitment. Related to Figure 1. The image analysis was performed with Fiji, using a generic ActionBar to define Region Of Interest (ROI) and a custom script (ImageJ macro language, available on demand) to automatically threshold and measure the images. The worm(s) outline(s) were manually drawn by an experimenter for each image, using the generic BIOP ActionBar “Multi Manual Select” that facilitates ROIs creation. The two channels of interest (respectively Gr1 or Ly6C and Ly6G markers) were binarized using an automatic thresholding algorithm (respectively “Intermodes” for 1 hour time point and “Huang” for 6 hours time point, for both channels).The automatic thresholding algorithm was chosen based on the visual inspection of output images. The segmented images were denoised with a Median Filter (radius 2 pixels). The resulting masks of the two channels were used to generate a third mask using the Boolean operator AND (keeping the common positive pixels). For each image, the experimenter-defined ROI(s) were used to create a distance map. This distance map was used to generate measurement bands, with a defined width (defined by experimenter to be 100 microns), iteratively expanded to a maximum value (defined by experimenter to be 600 microns). Finally, the positive areas of the masks were measured for each band and output as a table. As an output image, the three masks (the two channels of interest and the resulting AND operation) were merged and saved as and RGB image for visualization as thumbnails in different Operating System independently of any software. Some data files are attached to allow testing the macro.

description: We study the pion electromagnetic form factor and the dilepton production rate in hot matter using the hidden local symmetry theory as an effective field theory for pions and rho mesons. In this framework, the chiral symmetry restoration is realized as the vector manifestation (VM) in which the massless vector meson becomes the chiral partner of the pion, giving a theoretical support to the dropping rho a la Brown-Rho scaling. In the VM the vector dominance (VD) is strongly violated near the phase transition point associated with the dropping $ρ$. We show that the effect of the violation of the VD substantially suppresses the dilepton production rate compared with the one predicted by assuming the VD together with the dropping rho.
