description: The use of oncolytic viruses as cancer treatment has received considerable attention in recent years, however the spatial dynamics of this viral infection is still poorly understood. We present here a stochastic agent-based model describing infected and uninfected cells for solid tumours, which interact with viruses in the absence of an immune response. Two kinds of movement, namely undirected random and pressure-driven movements, are considered: the continuum limit of the models is derived and a systematic comparison between the systems of partial differential equations and the individual-based model, in one and two dimensions, is carried out. In the case of undirected movement, a good agreement between agent-based simulations and the numerical and well-known analytical results for the continuum model is possible. For pressure-driven motion, instead, we observe a wide parameter range in which the infection of the agents remains confined to the center of the tumour, even though the continuum model shows traveling waves of infection; outcomes appear to be more sensitive to stochasticity and uninfected regions appear harder to invade, giving rise to irregular, unpredictable growth patterns. Our results show that the presence of spatial constraints in tumours' microenvironments limiting free expansion has a very significant impact on virotherapy. Outcomes for these tumours suggest a notable increase in variability. All these aspects can have important effects when designing individually tailored therapies where virotherapy is included.

description: The photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to carbon-neutral fuels is one of the most compelling and promising methods for sustainable fuel production and environmental remediation. Nevertheless, the inefficient utilization of solar energy, sluggish charge kinetics and inadequate surface active sites of conventional photocatalysts inhibit their wider application. This thesis explores, designs, and develops efficient phosphorus-based photocatalysts for carbon dioxide conversion under visible and near-infrared light into methane through various state-of-the-art modification strategies such as homojunction formation, dual Z-scheme construction, ultrathin two-dimensional material design, oxygen vacancy engineering and sensitization with quantum-sized materials.

description: A two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) split by a radial potential barrier is investigated. We determine on an accurate many-body level the system's ground-state phase diagram as well as a time-dependent phase diagram of the splitting process. Whereas the ground state is condensed for a wide range of parameters, the time-dependent splitting process leads to substantial fragmentation. We demonstrate for the first time the dynamical fragmentation of a BEC despite its ground state being condensed. The results are analyzed by a mean-field model and suggest that a large manifold of low-lying fragmented excited states can significantly impact the dynamics of trapped two-dimensional BECs.

description: While a parent Hamiltonian for Laughlin $1/3$ wave function has been long known in terms of the Haldane pseudopotentials, no parent Hamiltonians are known for the lowest-Landau-level projected wave functions of the composite fermion theory at $n/(2n+1)$ with $n\geq2$. If one takes the two lowest Landau levels to be degenerate, the Trugman-Kivelson interaction produces the unprojected 2/5 wave function as the unique zero energy solution. If the lowest three Landau levels are assumed to be degenerate, the Trugman-Kivelson interaction produces a large number of zero energy states at $ν=3/7$. We propose that adding an appropriately constructed three-body interaction yields the unprojected $3/7$ wave function as the unique zero energy solution, and report extensive exact diagonalization studies that provide strong support to this proposal.

description: Resonant excitation is an essential tool in the development of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) for quantum information processing. One central challenge is to enable a transparent access to the QD signal without post-selection information loss. A viable path is through cavity enhancement, which has successfully lifted the resonantly scattered field strength over the laser background under \emph{weak} excitation. Here, we extend this success to the \emph{saturation} regime using a QD-micropillar device with a Purcell factor of 10.9 and an ultra-low background cavity reflectivity of just 0.0089. We achieve a signal to background ratio of 50 and an overall system responsivity of 3~\%, i.e., we detect on average 0.03 resonantly scattered single photons for every incident laser photon. Raising the excitation to the few-photon level, the QD response is brought into saturation where we observe the Mollow triplets as well as the associated cascade single photon emissions, without resort to any laser background rejection technique. Our work offers a new perspective toward QD cavity interface that is not restricted by the laser background.

description: In the vicinity of a Feshbach resonance, a system of ultracold atoms on an optical lattice undergoes rich physical transformations which involve molecule formation and hopping of molecules on the lattice and thus goes beyond a single-band Hubbard model description. We propose to probe the behavior of this system with a harmonic modulation of the magnetic field, and thus of the scattering length, across the Feshbach resonance, as an alternative to lattice-depth modulation spectroscopy. In the regime in which the single-band Hubbard model is still valid, we provide simulation data for this type of spectroscopy. The method may uncover a route towards the efficient creation of ultracold molecules and provides an alternate means for lattice modulation spectroscopy.

description: Among heavy-fermion metals, Ce$_3$Pd$_{20}$Si$_6$ is one of the heaviest-electron systems known to date. Here we used high-resolution neutron spectroscopy to observe low-energy magnetic scattering from a single crystal of this compound in the paramagnetic state. We investigated its temperature dependence and distribution in momentum space, which was not accessible in earlier measurements on polycrystalline samples. At low temperatures, a quasielastic magnetic response with a half-width Γ=0.1 meV persists with varying intensity all over the Brillouin zone. It forms a broad hump centered at the (111) scattering vector, surrounded by minima of intensity at (002), (220) and equivalent wave vectors. The momentum-space structure distinguishes this signal from a simple crystal-field excitation at 0.31 meV, suggested previously, and rather lets us ascribe it to short-range dynamical correlations between the neighboring Ce ions, mediated by the itinerant heavy f-electrons via the RKKY mechanism. With increasing temperature, the energy width of the signal follows the conventional T$\scriptstyle^{1/2}$ law, Γ(T) = Γ$_0$ + A*T$\scriptstyle^{1/2}$. The momentum-space symmetry of the quasielastic response suggests that it stems from the simple-cubic Ce sublattice occupying the 8c Wyckoff site, whereas the crystallographically inequivalent 4a site remains magnetically silent in this material.

description: Plasmons can be excited during photoemission and produce spectral photoelectron features that yield information on the nanoscale optical response of the probed materials. However, these so-called plasmon satellites have so far been observed only for planar surfaces, while their potential for the characterization of nanostructures remains unexplored. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that core-level photoemission from nanostructures can display spectrally narrow plasmonic features, reaching relatively high probabilities similar to the direct peak. Using a nonperturbative quantum-mechanical framework, we find a dramatic effect of nanostructure morphology and dimensionality as well as universal scaling laws for the plasmon-satellite probabilities. In addition, we introduce a pump--probe scheme in which plasmons are optically excited prior to photoemission, leading to plasmon losses and gains in the photoemission spectra and granting us access to the ultrafast dynamics of the sampled nanostructure. These results emphasize the potential of plasmon satellites to explore multi-plasmon effects and ultrafast electron--plasmon dynamics in metal-based nanoparticles and two-dimensional nanoislands.

description: This document has two primary purposes. First, it describes the nature and results of a Phase II testing program conducted to evaluate the significance and importance of cultural resources that could be affected by the proposed Union Oil Company of California Santa Maria Basin Pipeline Project (Platform Irene Project). Second, the document present a program design for developing Phase III mitigations for unavoidable cultural resource impacts.

Data collectioned during the Phase II investigations are presented in a descriptive format. Data analysis and interpretation were truncated in order to respond to unexpected requests from federal agencies to prepare background documents. 

This document does not describe archaeological excavations conducted to mitigate impacts from construction of a transmission line through SBA-931, a large prehistoric habitation site located on a high terrace immediately south of the Santa Ynez River mouth. The transmission route, which will run from Union's new electrical substation to Platform Irene, will require installing four power poles within the site boundaries. A separate report covers these excavations.

description: Black holes can be produced in collapse of small-scale dark matter structures, which can happen at any time from the early to present-day universe. Microstructure black holes (MSBHs) can have a wide range of masses. Small MSBHs evaporate via Hawking radiation with lifetimes shorter than the age of the universe, but they are not subject to the usual early-universe bounds on the abundance of small primordial black holes. We investigate the possible signal of such a population of exploding, late-forming black holes, constraining their abundance with observations from diffuse extragalactic gamma- and x-ray sources, the galactic center, and dwarf spheroidal galaxies.

description: This report is prepared by the Martin Marietta Corporation (MMC) for the US Air Force to document the Environmental Surveillance activities performed under Contract No. F04701-83-C-0032. Contributing archaeological support is provided by Harmsworth Associates under contract to MMC. 

The environmental surveillance procedure continually evolves as results of field surveillance provide additional information on impacts of the Vandenberg Space Shuttle Program upon environmental resources of the area. It is the intent of this procedure to monitor selected aspects of environmental quality, to document and analyze changes in quality, and to record environmental inspection activities as related to construction of Space Transportation System (STS) facilities. Through this procedure, the environmental surveillance program ensures compliance with government regulations and facilities implementation of prescribed mitigation measures. This report (ESR 21) describes the implementation of the Environmental Surveillance Plan for the STS Program at VAFB and is a continuation of ESR reports No. 1-20.

Construction activities requiring environmental monitoring continued at the V-17 Visual Landing Aids (PAPI), FY'84 Physical Security Modifications, the Security Patrol Roads, and began at the SLC-6 parking lot, waste treatment (percolation) ponds, V-33 Harbor and Towroute, Temporary Storage Facility, Skyscreen Van Transmission Line (Honda Point), repeater stations, Fiber Optics Cable, COE parking lot (trailer/laydown area) and communication lines of Santa Ynez Ridge Road/Tangair Road as well as to the meteorological tower.

description: Evidence of chemical disequilibria and other anomalous observations in the Venusian atmosphere motivate the search for life within the planet's temperate clouds. To find signs of a Venusian aerial biosphere, a dedicated astrobiological space mission is required. Venus Life Finder (VLF) missions encompass unique mission concepts with specialized instruments to search for habitability indicators, biosignatures and even life itself. A key in the search for life is direct capture, concentration and visualization of particles of biological potential. Here, we present a short overview of Fluid-Screen (FS) technology, a recent advancement in the dielectrophoretic (DEP) microbial particle capture, concentration and separation. FS is capable of capturing and separating biochemically diverse particles, including multicellular molds, eukaryotic cells, different species of bacteria and even viruses, based on particle dielectric properties. In this short communication, we discuss the possible implementation of Fluid-Screen in the context of the VLF missions, emphasizing the unique science output of the Fluid-Screen instrument. FS can be coupled with other highly sophisticated instruments such as an autofluorescence microscope or a laser desorption mass spectrometer. We discuss possible configurations of Fluid-Screen that upon modification and testing, could be adapted for Venus. We discuss the unique science output of the FS technology that can capture biological particles in their native state and hold them in the focal plane of the microscope for the direct imaging of the captured material. We discuss the challenges for the proposed method posed by the concentrated sulfuric acid environment of Venus' clouds. While Venus' clouds are a particularly challenging environment, other bodies of the solar system, e.g., with liquid water present, might be especially suitable for Fluid-Screen application.

description: We develop estimation methodology for an additive nonparametric panel model that is suitable for capturing the pricing of coupon-paying government bonds followed over many time periods. We use our model to estimate the discount function and yield curve of nominally riskless government bonds. The novelty of our approach is the combination of two different techniques: cross-sectional nonparametric methods and kernel estimation for time varying dynamics in the time series context. The resulting estimator is used for predicting individual bond prices given the full schedule of their future payments. In addition, it is able to capture the yield curve shapes and dynamics commonly observed in the fixed income markets. We establish the consistency, the rate of convergence, and the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator. A Monte Carlo exercise illustrates the good performance of the method under different scenarios. We apply our methodology to the daily CRSP bond market dataset, and compare ours with the popular Diebold and Li (2006) method.
Quasi-equilibrium relaxation of two identical quantum oscillators with arbitrary coupling strength

description: The paper deals with the problem of open systems out of equilibrium. An analytical expression for time-dependent density matrix of two arbitrary coupled identical quantum oscillators interacting with separate reservoirs is derived using path integral methods. The temporal behavior of spatial variances and of covariance from given initial values up to stationary values is investigated. It was shown that at comparatively low coupling strengths the asymptotic variances in the long-time limit achieve steady states despite on initial conditions. Stationary values of variances differ from the case of total equilibrium due to their coupling simultaneously with thermal reservoirs of different temperatures. The larger the difference in temperatures of thermal baths, the larger is the difference of the stationary values of variances of coupled oscillators comparing with values given by the fluctuation dissipation theorem. At strong couplings the variances have divergent character. Otherwise, in the weak coupling limit the asymptotic stationary variances are always in accordance with the fluctuation dissipation theorem despite of the difference in temperatures within the whole system.

With the example of planar fermions with bag and chiral bag boundary conditions we show that this relation holds whenever edge states are sufficiently well-localized near the boundary. As a by-product we show that the spectrum of edge modes for chiral bag boundary conditions is linear but bounded.

description: The BPS spectrum of d=4 N=2 field theories in general contains not only hyper- and vector-multipelts but also short multiplets of particles with arbitrarily high spin. This paper extends the method of spectral networks to give an algorithm for computing the spin content of the BPS spectrum of d=4 N=2 field theories of class S. The key new ingredient is an identification of the spin of states with the writhe of paths on the Seiberg-Witten curve. Connections to quiver representation theory and to Chern-Simons theory are briefly discussed.

description: Selective liver X receptor (LXR) agonists have been extensively pursued as therapeutics for Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD) and, for comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cerebrovascular disease (CVD), disorders with underlying impaired insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, and cholesterol mobilization. The failure of the LXR-focused approach led us to pursue a novel strategy to discover nonlipogenic ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) inducers (NLAIs): screening for ABCA1-luciferase activation in astrocytoma cells and counterscreening against lipogenic gene upregulation in hepatocarcinoma cells. Beneficial effects of LXRβ agonists mediated by ABCA1 include the following: control of cholesterol and phospholipid efflux to lipid-poor apolipoproteins forming beneficial peripheral HDL and HDL-like particles in the brain and attenuation of inflammation. While rare, ABCA1 variants reduce plasma HDL and correlate with an increased risk of ADRD and CVD. In secondary assays, NLAI hits enhanced cholesterol mobilization and positively impacted in vitro biomarkers associated with insulin signaling, inflammatory response, and biogenic properties. In vivo target engagement was demonstrated after oral administration of NLAIs in (i) mice fed a high-fat diet, a model for obesity-linked T2D, (ii) mice administered LPS, and (iii) mice with accelerated oxidative stress. The lack of adverse effects on lipogenesis and positive effects on multiple biomarkers associated with T2D and ADRD supports this novel phenotypic approach to NLAIs as a platform for T2D and ADRD drug discovery.

description: One of the eminent generalizations of theory of general relativity is the Rastall gravity which was {constructed} based on the assumption of the non-conserved energy-momentum tensor of the matter field. Despite in the literature several solutions of black holes in the Rastall gravity coupled to the electromagnetic field have been presented, in the current paper we argue that the Rastall gravity with non-conserved energy-momentum tensor (with $λ\neq0$ and $R\neq0$) cannot couple to the electrodynamics, i.e., the electromagnetically charged black hole solution cannot be obtained in this case. This statement is adequate for both linear and nonlinear electrodynamics with the electric, magnetic, or dyonic charges coupled to the Rastall gravity.

description: We study the SU(3) gauge theory with twelve flavours of fermions in the fundamental representation as a prototype of non-Abelian gauge theories inside the conformal window. Guided by the pattern of underlying symmetries, chiral and conformal, we analyze the two-point functions theoretically and on the lattice, and determine the finite size scaling and the infinite volume fermion mass dependence of the would-be hadron masses. We show that the spectrum in the Coulomb phase of the system can be described in the context of a universal scaling analysis and we provide the nonperturbative determination of the fermion mass anomalous dimension gamma*=0.235(46) at the infrared fixed point. We comment on the agreement with the four-loop perturbative prediction for this quantity and we provide a unified description of all existing lattice results for the spectrum of this system, them being in the Coulomb phase or the asymptotically free phase. Our results corroborate the view that the fixed point we are studying is not associated to a physical singularity along the bare coupling line and estimates of physical observables can be attempted on either side of the fixed point. Finally, we observe the restoration of the U(1) axial symmetry in the two-point functions.

description: Novel energy-aware cloud management methods dynamically reallocate computation across geographically distributed data centers to leverage regional electricity price and temperature differences. As a result, a managed VM may suffer occasional downtimes. Current cloud providers only offer high availability VMs, without enough flexibility to apply such energy-aware management. In this paper we show how to analyse past traces of dynamic cloud management actions based on electricity prices and temperatures to estimate VM availability and price values. We propose a novel SLA specification approach for offering VMs with different availability and price values guaranteed over multiple SLAs to enable flexible energy-aware cloud management. We determine the optimal number of such SLAs as well as their availability and price guaranteed values. We evaluate our approach in a user SLA selection simulation using Wikipedia and Grid'5000 workloads. The results show higher customer conversion and 39% average energy savings per VM.

VAFB-1986-12: Cultural Resources Survey, Proposed Airport Control Tower (P.N. 84014), Vandenberg Air Force Base, California
Creators: name: Army Corp Of Engineers
Year: 1986

description: In August 1986, an archaeologist from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Sacramento District, conducted an intensive pedestrian survey of approximately 40 acres surrounding the U.S. Air Force's proposed control tower location on Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. The survey was conducted to determine what effects, if any, construction of the proposed facility would have on cultural resources. The survey revealed only a substantially altered roadway that may correspond to a historic period travelway/trail. No other cultural materials were encountered. Based on the available information, it does not appear that the encountered feature is available for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, this project will have no effect on National Register listed or eligible properties. It is, however, recommended that if previously undiscovered cultural properties are encountered during the course of project implementation, that construction activities in that specific locality be halted until the requirements of 36 CRF 800.11 can be met.

description: There are many complementing strategies to estimate the extrapolation errors of a model which was calibrated in least-squares fits. We consider the Skyrme-Hartree-Fock model for nuclear structure and dynamics and exemplify the following five strategies: uncertainties from statistical analysis, covariances between observables, trends of residuals, variation of fit data, dedicated variation of model parameters. This gives useful insight into the impact of the key fit data as they are: binding energies, charge r.m.s. radii, and charge formfactor. Amongst others, we check in particular the predictive value for observables in the stable nucleus $^{208}$Pb, the super-heavy element $^{266}$Hs, $r$-process nuclei, and neutron stars.

description: A novel method-of-moments approach is proposed for the estimation of factor-augmented panel data models with endogenous regressors when T is fixed. The underlying methodology involves approximating the unobserved common factors using observed factor proxies. The resulting moment conditions are linear in the parameters. The proposed approach addresses several issues which arise with existing nonlinear estimators that are available in fixed T panels, such as local minima-related problems, a sensitivity to particular normalisation schemes, and a potential lack of global identification. We apply our approach to a large panel of households and estimate the price elasticity of urban water demand. A simulation study confirms that our approach performs well in finite samples.

description: We apply results from both contact topology and exceptional surgery theory to study when Legendrian surgery on a knot yields a reducible manifold. As an application, we show that a reducible surgery on a non-cabled positive knot of genus g must have slope 2g-1, leading to a proof of the cabling conjecture for positive knots of genus 2. Our techniques also produce bounds on the maximum Thurston-Bennequin numbers of cables.

description: The classification of critical points of charged topological black holes (TBHs) in anti-de Sitter spacetime (AdS) under the Power Maxwell Invariant (PMI)-massive gravity is accomplished within the framework of black hole chemistry (BHC). Considering the grand canonical ensemble (GCE), we show that $d=4$ black hole have only one topological class, whereas $d\ge 5$ black holes belong to two different topology classes. Furthermore, the conventional critical point characterized by negative topological charge coincides with the maximum extreme point of temperature; and the novel critical point featuring opposite topological charge corresponds to the minimum extreme point of temperature. With increasing pressure, new phases emerge at the novel critical point while disappear from the conventional one. Moreover, a atypical van der Waals (vdW) behavior is found in $d\ge 6$ dimensions, and the anomaly disappears at the traditional critical point. In the limit of nonlinearity parameter $s\to1$, different topology classes are only obtained in the GCE and they may not exist within the canonical ensemble. With the absence of electric potential $Φ$, the neutral TBHs share the same topological classification results as the charged TBHs in the GCE of Maxwell-massive gravity.

description: This paper uses patent to examine the impact of environmental regulation on innovations based on the weak version of Porter hypothesis. According to the Porter hypothesis, stringent environmental regulations promote certain kinds of innovation. The current study uses a newly-released environmental policy stringency index (EPS) that reduces a complex set of multi- dimensional policies into a comparable country-specific proxy and covers for the period 2001–2012 in 30 countries. Results from the two-stage model assesses suggest that, there is statistically significant effect of stricter environmental regulations on innovations in environmental-related technology.

description: Architectures that first convert point clouds to a grid representation and then apply convolutional neural networks achieve good performance for radar-based object detection. However, the transfer from irregular point cloud data to a dense grid structure is often associated with a loss of information, due to the discretization and aggregation of points. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture, multi-scale KPPillarsBEV, that aims to mitigate the negative effects of grid rendering. Specifically, we propose a novel grid rendering method, KPBEV, which leverages the descriptive power of kernel point convolutions to improve the encoding of local point cloud contexts during grid rendering. In addition, we propose a general multi-scale grid rendering formulation to incorporate multi-scale feature maps into convolutional backbones of detection networks with arbitrary grid rendering methods. We perform extensive experiments on the nuScenes dataset and evaluate the methods in terms of detection performance and computational complexity. The proposed multi-scale KPPillarsBEV architecture outperforms the baseline by 5.37% and the previous state of the art by 2.88% in Car AP4.0 (average precision for a matching threshold of 4 meters) on the nuScenes validation set. Moreover, the proposed single-scale KPBEV grid rendering improves the Car AP4.0 by 2.90% over the baseline while maintaining the same inference speed.

On localization of universal scalar fields in a tachyonic de Sitter thick braneworld

description: Braneworld models may yield interesting effects ranging from high-energy physics to cosmology, or even some low-energy physics. Their mode structure modifies standard results in these physical realms that can be tested and used to set bounds on the models parameters. Now, to define braneworld deviations from standard 4D physics, a notion of matter and gravity localization on the brane is crucial. In this work we investigate the localization of universal massive scalar fields in a de Sitter thick tachyonic braneworld generated by gravity coupled to a tachyonic bulk scalar field. This braneworld possesses a 4D de Sitter induced metric and is asymptotically flat despite the presence of a negative bulk cosmological constant, a novel and interesting peculiarity that contrasts with previously known models. Universal scalar fields can be localized in this expanding braneworld if their bulk mass obeys an upper bound, otherwise they delocalize: The dynamics of the scalar field is governed by a Schroedinger equation with an analog quantum mechanical potential of modified Poeschl-Teller type that depends on the bulk curvature of the braneworld system and the value of the bulk scalar field mass. For masses satisfying a certain upper bound, the potential displays a negative minimum and possesses a single massless bound state separated from the Kaluza-Klein (KK) massive modes by a mass gap defined by the Hubble (expansion scale) parameter of the 3-brane. As the bulk scalar field mass increases, the minimum of the quantum mechanical potential approaches a null value and, eventually, it becomes positive, transforming into a potential barrier and leading to delocalization of the bulk scalar field from the brane. The general solution of the Schroedinger equation is given in terms of general Heun functions, giving rise to a new application of these special functions.

description: We study the problem of parameter estimation in time series stemming from general stochastic processes, where the outcomes may exhibit arbitrary temporal correlations. In particular, we address the question of how much Fisher information is lost if the stochastic process is compressed into a single histogram, known as the empirical distribution. As we show, the answer is non-trivial due to the correlations between outcomes. We derive practical formulas for the resulting Fisher information for various scenarios, from generic stationary processes to discrete-time Markov chains to continuous-time classical master equations. The results are illustrated with several examples.

description: Measurements of sulphur isotopes in presolar grains can help to identify the astrophysical sites in which these grains were formed. A more precise thermonuclear rate of the 33S(p,gamma)34Cl reaction is required, however, to assess the diagnostic ability of sulphur isotopic ratios. We have studied the 33S(3He,d)34Cl proton-transfer reaction at 25 MeV using a high-resolution quadrupole-dipole-dipole-dipole magnetic spectrograph. Deuteron spectra were measured at ten scattering angles between 10 and 55 degrees. Twenty-four levels in 34Cl over Ex = 4.6 - 5.9 MeV were observed, including three levels for the first time. Proton spectroscopic factors were extracted for the first time for levels above the 33S+p threshold, spanning the energy range required for calculations of the thermonuclear 33S(p,gamma)34Cl rate in classical nova explosions. We have determined a new 33S(p,gamma)34Cl rate using a Monte Carlo method and have performed new hydrodynamic nova simulations to determine the impact on nova nucleosynthesis of remaining nuclear physics uncertainties in the reaction rate. We find that these uncertainties lead to a factor of less than 5 variation in the 33S(p,gamma)34Cl rate over typical nova peak temperatures, and variation in the ejected nova yields of S--Ca isotopes by less than 20%. In particular, the predicted 32S/33S ratio is 110 - 130 for the nova model considered, compared to 110 - 440 with previous rate uncertainties. As recent type II supernova models predict ratios of 130 - 200, the 32S/33S ratio may be used to distinguish between grains of nova and supernova origin.
