description: From 2009 to 2011, Xu Jirong, then a research student at Yunnan University, and Alexis Michaud had sustained exchanges about the phonological analysis of Ciending Naxi, Xu Jirong's native language. This resulted in a joint publication in 2012: Michaud, Alexis and Xu Jirong 徐继荣. Xiānggélǐlā xiàn Cìēndīng cūn nàxīyǔ yīnxì yánjiū 香格里拉县次恩丁村纳西语音系研究 [Research about the phonemic system of the Naxi dialect of Ciending village, Shangri-la prefecture]. Chama Gudao Yanjiu Jikan 茶马古道研究集刊 2. 139–165. The article contained a co-authored phonemic analysis, and a word list by Xu Jirong. On November 1st, 2013, Jirong agreed to record part of the vocabulary list (as Alexis was in Kunming on the way back from fieldwork). Some notations were corrected in the process. Due to time constraints (only one evening was available for this task), it was only possible to go through about one third of the list. This document provides phonetic evidence on this Naxi dialect, which presents some oppositions lost in some other dialects (see the article for details). Items are arranged roughly by alphabetical order: æ, b, ɕ, ç, d, ɖ... Many thanks to Mike Opper, a graduate student from Michigan University, in whose flat the recording was conducted, and who kindly provided mattresses and household linen to prop against the walls to decrease reverberation. Mike Opper and Meng Yang, a graduate from Ottawa University, were present during the recording.

Analyzing the frequency shift of physiadsorbed CO2 in metal organic framework materials

description: Combining first-principles density functional theory simulations with IR and Raman experiments, we determine the frequency shift of vibrational modes of CO2 when physiadsorbed in the iso-structural metal organic framework materials Mg-MOF74 and Zn-MOF74. Surprisingly, we find that the resulting change in shift is rather different for these two systems and we elucidate possible reasons. We explicitly consider three factors responsible for the frequency shift through physiabsorption, namely (i) the change in the molecule length, (ii) the asymmetric distortion of the CO$_2$ molecule, and (iii) the direct influence of the metal center. The influence of each factor is evaluated separately through different geometry considerations, providing a fundamental understanding of the frequency shifts observed experimentally.

Effects of polarization azimuth in dynamics of electrically assisted light-induced gliding of nematic liquid-crystal easy axis

description: We experimentally study the reorientation dynamics of the nematic liquid crystal easy axis at photoaligned azo-dye films under the combined action of in-plane electric field and reorienting UV light linearly polarized at varying polarization azimuth, $ϕ_p$. In contrast to the case where the light polarization vector is parallel to the initial easy axis and $ϕ_p=0$, at $ϕ_p\ne 0$, the pronounced purely photoinduced reorientation is observed outside the interelectrode gaps. In the regions between electrodes with non-zero electric field, it is found that the dynamics of reorientation slows down with $ϕ_p$ and the sense of easy axis rotation is independent of the sign of $ϕ_p$.

Controlled Dicke Subradiance from a Large Cloud of Two-Level Systems

description: Dicke superradiance has been observed in many systems and is based on constructive interferences between many scattered waves. The counterpart of this enhanced dynamics, subradiance, is a destructive interference effect leading to the partial trapping of light in the system. In contrast to the robust superradiance, subradiant states are fragile and spurious decoherence phenomena hitherto obstructed the observation of such metastable states. We show that a dilute cloud of cold atoms is an ideal system to look for subradiance in free space and study various mechanisms to control this subradiance.

An H-band Spectroscopic Metallicity Calibration for M Dwarfs

description: We present an empirical near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic method for estimating M dwarf metallicities, based on features in the H-band, as well as an implementation of a similar published method in the K-band. We obtained R~2000 NIR spectra of a sample of M dwarfs using the NASA IRTF-SpeX spectrograph, including 22 M dwarf metallicity calibration targets that have FGK companions with known metallicities. The H-band and K-band calibrations provide equivalent fits to the metallicities of these binaries, with an accuracy of +/- 0.12 dex. We derive the first empirically calibrated spectroscopic metallicity estimate for the giant planet-hosting M dwarf GJ 317, confirming its super-solar metallicity. Combining this result with observations of eight other M dwarf planet hosts, we find that M dwarfs with giant planets are preferentially metal-rich compared to those that host less massive planets. Our H-band calibration relies on strongly metallicity-dependent features in the H-band, which will be useful in compositional studies using mid to high resolution NIR M dwarf spectra, such as those produced by multiplexed surveys like SDSS-III APOGEE. These results will also be immediately useful for ongoing spectroscopic surveys of M dwarfs.

Complex magneto-elastic properties in the frustrated kagome-staircase compounds (Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_3$V$_2$O$_8$

description: High resolution heat capacity and thermal expansion experiments performed on single crystalline kagome-staircase compounds (Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ are presented. The parent compounds Co$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ and Ni$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ undergo a complex sequence of first- and second-order magnetic phase transitions. The low-temperature ($T<40$ K) magnetic entropy evolves monotonously with the doping content $x$, from the full S=1 Ni$^{2+}$ magnetic entropy in Ni$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ to half of the S=3/2 Co$^{2+}$ magnetic entropy in Co$_3$V$_2$O$_8$. Thermal expansion coefficients $α_i$ ($i = a$, $b$ and $c$) show a strong anisotropy for all (Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ compounds. The low-temperature magnetic distortion indicates that Co-doping (Ni-doping) has similar effects to applying a uniaxial pressures along $a$ or $b$ ($c$). Linear Grüneisen parameters $Γ_i$ are extracted for the three main axes $i$ and exhibit a complex behavior with both temperature and doping. For each axis, $Γ_i$ and $α_i$ exhibit a sign change (at low temperature) at the critical concentration $x_c\simeq0.25$, at which the incommensurate magnetic propagation vector changes. Beyond our study, an understanding of the multiple and complex parameters (magnetic frustration, magnetic anisotropy, mixture of S=1 and S=3/2 ions, etc.) is now necessarily to bring light to the rich magneto-elastic properties of (Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_3$V$_2$O$_8$.

description: The exchange of a light $t$-channel flavor-changing gauge boson, $\Vp$, with mass $\sim m_{top}$ remains a leading explanation for the anomalous forward backward asymmetry in top quark production at the Tevatron. Unlike other ideas, including heavier $t$-channel mediators, the light $\Vp$ model is not easily seen in the $\mtt$ distribution. We advocate a more promising strategy. While current analyses at hadron colliders may not be sensitive, we propose searching for a $jj$ resonance in association with single top that may allow discovery in existing data. Deviations in the lepton charge asymmetry in this sample should also be present.

description: The mass distribution of neutron stars and stellar-mass black holes provides vital clues into the nature of stellar core collapse and the physical engine responsible for supernova explosions. Using recent advances in our understanding of supernova engines, we derive mass distributions of stellar compact remnants. We provide analytical prescriptions for compact object masses for major population synthesis codes. In an accompanying paper, Belczynski et al., we demonstrate that these qualitatively new results for compact objects can explain the observed gap in the remnant mass distribution between ~2-5 solar masses and that they place strong constraints on the nature of the supernova engine. Here, we show that advanced gravitational radiation detectors (like LIGO/VIRGO or the Einstein Telescope) will be able to further test the supernova explosion engine models once double black hole inspirals are detected.

description: On the basis of dynamical principles we derive the Logistic Equation (LE), widely employed (among multiple applications) in the simulation of population growth, and demonstrate that scale-invariance and a mean-value constraint are sufficient and necessary conditions for obtaining it. We also generalize the LE to multi-component systems and show that the above dynamical mechanisms underlie large number of scale-free processes. Examples are presented regarding city-populations, diffusion in complex networks, and popularity of technological products, all of them obeying the multi-component logistic equation in an either stochastic or deterministic way. So as to assess the predictability-power of our present formalism, we advance a prediction, regarding the next 60 months, for the number of users of the three main web browsers (Explorer, Firefox and Chrome) popularly referred as "Browser Wars".

description: We study the effects of discrete, randomly distributed time delays on the dynamics of a coupled system of self-propelling particles. Bifurcation analysis on a mean field approximation of the system reveals that the system possesses patterns with certain universal characteristics that depend on distinguished moments of the time delay distribution. Specifically, we show both theoretically and numerically that although bifurcations of simple patterns, such as translations, change stability only as a function of the first moment of the time delay distribution, more complex patterns arising from Hopf bifurcations depend on all of the moments.

description: Trace organic compounds (TrOCs) enter rivers with discharge of treated wastewater. These effluents can contain high loads of dissolved organic matter (DOM). In a 48 h field study, we investigated changes in molecular composition of seven DOM compound classes (FTICR-MS) and attenuation of 17 polar TrOCs in a small urban stream receiving treated wastewater. Correlations between TrOCs and DOM were used to identify simultaneous changes in surface water and the hyporheic zone. Changes in TrOC concentrations in surface water ranged between a decrease of 29.2% for methylbenzotriazole and an increase of 152.2% for the transformation product gabapentin-lactam. In the hyporheic zone, only decreasing TrOC concentrations were observed, ranging from 4.9% for primidone to 93.8% for venlafaxine . TrOC attenuation coincided with a decline of molecular diversity of easily biodegradable DOM compound classes while molecular diversity of poorly biodegradable DOM compound classes increased. This concurrence indicates similar or linked attenuation pathways for biodegradable DOM and TrOCs. Strong correlations between TrOCs and DOM compound classes as well as high attenuation of TrOCs primarily occurred in the hyporheic zone. This suggests high potential for DOM turnover and TrOC mitigation in rivers if hyporheic exchange is sufficient.

We evaluate tunneling probabilities of outgoing charged particles by using the semiclassical WKB approximation to the general covariant Dirac equation. The Hawking temperature corresponding to this pair of black holes is also investigated. For the zero NUT parameter, we find results consistent with those already available in the literature.

description: Half a century has passed since the foundation of nuclear astrophysics. Since then, this discipline has reached its maturity. Today, nuclear astrophysics constitutes a multidisciplinary crucible of knowledge that combines the achievements in theoretical astrophysics, observational astronomy, cosmochemistry and nuclear physics. New tools and developments have revolutionized our understanding of the origin of the elements: supercomputers have provided astrophysicists with the required computational capabilities to study the evolution of stars in a multidimensional framework; the emergence of high-energy astrophysics with space-borne observatories has opened new windows to observe the Universe, from a novel panchromatic perspective; cosmochemists have isolated tiny pieces of stardust embedded in primitive meteorites, giving clues on the processes operating in stars as well as on the way matter condenses to form solids; and nuclear physicists have measured reactions near stellar energies, through the combined efforts using stable and radioactive ion beam facilities. This review provides comprehensive insight into the nuclear history of the Universe and related topics: starting from the Big Bang, when the ashes from the primordial explosion were transformed to hydrogen, helium, and few trace elements, to the rich variety of nucleosynthesis mechanisms and sites in the Universe. Particular attention is paid to the hydrostatic processes governing the evolution of low-mass stars, red giants and asymptotic giant-branch stars, as well as to the explosive nucleosynthesis occurring in core-collapse and thermonuclear supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, classical novae, X-ray bursts, superbursts, and stellar mergers.

description: The consultant was shown the target items in writing, as part of a randomized list on paper. The imagined context was that people are watching a TV programme about calligraphy. The target words were recorded under two reading conditions: the context for the first reading, referred to below as CAREFUL, is that a child asks which character is being written, and the consultant provides the answer. Under the second condition, referred to as IMPATIENT, the child is naughty, asking for the umpteenth time without paying attention to answers; the consultant says the answer again, but in a way that will clarify to the child that (s)he is being rude and should not speak up again. The reason for asking consultants to imagine a TV show, rather than a live performance, is so that they will not feel called upon to whisper the answer in order not to disturb the (fictitious) calligrapher.

description: Scientific software has become an indispensable commodity for the production, processing and analysis of empirical data but also for modelling and simulation of complex processes. Software has a significant influence on the quality of research results. The current use of software and the recognition of software engineering does not reflect the importance of this work in the research process.

This working paper shortly summarizes the relevance and challenges regarding research software sustainability as input for the Knowledge Exchange Workshop: Research Software Sustainability, October 1-2, 2015 in Berlin, Germany.

Local Adaptation: A Limit To Early Speciation?
Creators: name: Blanckaert, Alexandre

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Interest in speciation research has experienced a recent shift from the classical problem of “When does it happen?” to more process-oriented question: “How does it happen?” This is of relevance, in particular, for parapatric speciation, where the build-up of pre- or postzygotic barriers to gene-flow is a gradual process. The standard mechanism for the evolution of post-zygotic isolation is the accumulation of Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities (DMI).

 While this process is reasonably well understood for allopatric speciation, one can ask how it unfolds in the face of gene flow. In a recent paper, Bank et al. (2012) have studied the very first step of this process and described the conditions for a first two-locus DMI to appear and be maintained. Other authors propose mechanisms purely based on divergent selection. However, during these early steps of divergence, one can expect that the amount of local adaptation between the two splitting populations is quite restricted.

Here, we want to understand how the amount of local adaptation is going to affect this first step and whether it forms a limit to the strength of any genetic barrier formed by DMIs. We use a three locus continent island model with potential epistasis between these loci to address this question. We will demonstrate that whereas with classic DMIs  local adaptation is a limit to the strength of a genetic barrier, this is no longer true if more complex epistasis pattern are involved. By complex, we refer, to a combination of positive and negative epistasis or three locus epistasis.

In addition, we will show that having 3 mutations, with uniquely negative epistasis and codominance both at the single locus effect and epistatic effect, is a sufficient condition, if the incompatibilities are lethal, to have reproductive isolation and therefore speciation.

description: Using unreliable or noisy components for reliable communication requires error correction. But which noise processes can support information transmission, and which are too destructive? For classical systems any channel whose output depends on its input has the capacity for communication, but the situation is substantially more complicated in the quantum setting. We find a generic test for incapacity based on any suitable forbidden transformation---a protocol for communication with a channel passing our test would also allow us to implement the associated forbidden transformation. Our approach includes both known quantum incapacity tests---positive partial transposition (PPT) and antidegradability (no cloning)---as special cases, putting them both on the same footing. We also find a physical principle explaining the nondistillability of PPT states: Any protocol for distilling entanglement from such a state would also give a protocol for implementing the forbidden time-reversal operation.

description: The main Higgs production channel at hadron colliders is gluon fusion via heavy-quark loops. We present the results of a fully exclusive simulation of gluon fusion Higgs production based on the matrix elements for h + 0, 1, 2 partons including full heavy-quark loop dependence, matched to a parton shower. We consider a Higgs with standard model couplings as well as models where the Higgs has enhanced couplings to bottom quarks (b-philic). We study the most relevant kinematic distributions, such as jet and Higgs pT spectra and find that matched samples provide an accurate description of the final state. For the SM Higgs, we confirm the excellent accuracy of the large heavy-quark-mass approximation also in differential distributions over all phase space, with significant effects arising only at large pT . For a b-philic Higgs however, the loops have a dramatic impact on the kinematics of the Higgs as well as of the jets and need to be accounted for exactly to achieve reliable event simulations.

How Dobzhansky-Muller Incompatibilities Accumulate In Presence Of Gene Flow?

The standard mechanism for the evolution of postzygotic isolation is the accumulation of Dobzhansky-Muller incompatibilities (DMI). While this process is reasonably well understood for allopatric speciation, one can ask how it unfolds in the face of gene flow. In a recent paper, Bank et al. (2012) have studied the very first step of this process and described the conditions for a first two-locus DMI to appear and be maintained. Here, we extend this model to study more than one DMI. In particular, we are interested in the influence of the presence of a first DMI on the fate of a second one and in predictions about the genetic architecture of the growing barrier. Using a combination of analytical and numerical methods, we analyze a migration-selection model with unidirectional gene flow from a continent to an island. As expected, we generally find that the presence of a first DMI makes it easier for further DMI's to be stably maintained – once it is established. However, the picture is much more complex for the establishment process of the second DMI itself. Depending on linkage patterns and the strength of the incompatibilities, the presence of the first DMI may either facilitate the origination of a second one or impede it. We interpret our results in the light of recent ideas of “islands of speciation” or “genome hitch-hiking.”

The effect of local optically thick regions in the long-wave emission of young circumstellar disks

description: Multi-wavelength observations of protoplanetary disks in the sub-millimeter continuum have measured spectral indices values which are significantly lower than what is found in the diffuse interstellar medium. Under the assumption that mm-wave emission of disks is mostly optically thin, these data have been generally interpreted as evidence for the presence of mm/cm-sized pebbles in the disk outer regions. In this work we investigate the effect of possible local optically thick regions on the mm-wave emission of protoplanetary disks without mm/cm-sized grains. A significant local increase of the optical depth in the disk can be caused by the concentration of solid particles, as predicted to result from a variety of proposed physical mechanisms. We calculate the filling factors and implied overdensities these optically thick regions would need to significantly affect the millimeter fluxes of disks, and we discuss their plausibility. We find that optically thick regions characterized by relatively small filling factors can reproduce the mm-data of young disks without requesting emission from mm/cm-sized pebbles. However, these optically thick regions require dust overdensities much larger than what predicted by any of the physical processes proposed in the literature to drive the concentration of solids. We find that only for the most massive disks it is possible and plausible to imagine that the presence of optically thick regions in the disk is responsible for the low measured values of the mm spectral index. For the majority of the disk population, optically thin emission from a population of large mm-sized grains remains the most plausible explanation. The results of this analysis further strengthen the scenario for which the measured low spectral indices of protoplanetary disks at mm wavelengths are due to the presence of large mm/cm-sized pebbles in the disk outer regions.

A Conjecture about Conserved Symmetric Tensors

description: We consider T(x), a tensor of arbitrary rank that is symmetric in all of its indices and conserved in the sense that the divergence on any one index vanishes. Our conjecture is that all integral moments of this tensor will vanish if the number of coordinates in that integral moment is less than the rank of the tensor. This result is proved explicitly for a number of particular cases, assuming adequate dimensionality of the Euclidean space of coordinates (x); but a general proof is lacking. Along the way, we find some neat results for certain large matrices generated by permutations.
