description: We study the dynamics and observational signatures of a neutron star being consumed by a much less massive black hole residing inside the star. This phenomenon could arise in a variety of scenarios, including after the capture of a primordial black hole, or in some models of asymmetric dark matter where the dark matter particles collect at the center of a neutron star and eventually collapse to form a black hole. However, the details of how the neutron star implodes are not well known, which is crucial to determining the observational implications of such events. We utilize fully general relativistic simulations to follow the evolution of such a black hole as it grows by several orders of magnitude, and ultimately consumes the neutron star. We consider a range of spin values for the neutron star, from non-rotating stars, to those with millisecond periods, as well as different equations of state. We find that as the black hole grows, it obtains a non-negligible spin and induces differential rotation in the core of the neutron star. In contrast to previous studies, we find that the amount of dynamical ejecta is very small, even for rapidly rotating stars, dampening the prospects for producing a kilonova-type electromagnetic signal from such events. We comment on other possible electromagnetic and gravitational signals.

description: Density Estimation is one of the central areas of statistics whose purpose is to estimate the probability density function underlying the observed data. It serves as a building block for many tasks in statistical inference, visualization, and machine learning. Density Estimation is widely adopted in the domain of unsupervised learning especially for the application of clustering. As big data become pervasive in almost every area of data sciences, analyzing high-dimensional data that have many features and variables appears to be a major focus in both academia and industry. High-dimensional data pose challenges not only from the theoretical aspects of statistical inference, but also from the algorithmic/computational considerations of machine learning and data analytics. This paper reviews a collection of selected nonparametric density estimation algorithms for high-dimensional data, some of them are recently published and provide interesting mathematical insights. The important application domain of nonparametric density estimation, such as { modal clustering}, are also included in this paper. Several research directions related to density estimation and high-dimensional data analysis are suggested by the authors.

description: We theoretically investigate the transport properties of Josephson junctions composed of superconductor/minimally twisted bilayer graphene/superconductor structures. In the presence of an out-of-plane electric field, the low energy physics is best described by a network of chiral domain-wall states. Depending on system parameters, they lead to the emergence of zig-zag or pseudo-Landau level modes with distinct transport characteristics. Specifically, we find zig-zag modes feature linear dispersion of Andreev bound states, resulting in a $4π$-periodic Josephson current. In contrast, pseudo-Landau level modes exhibit flat Andreev bound states and, consequently, a vanishing bulk Josephson current. Interestingly, edge states can give rise to $4π$-periodic Josephson response in the pseudo-Landau level regime. We also discuss experimental signatures of such responses.

description: With the usage of two transparent electrodes, organic solar cells are semitransparent and may be combined to parallel-connected multi-junction devices or used for innovative applications like power-generating windows. A challenging issue is the optimization of the electrodes, in order to combine high transparency with adequate electric properties. In the present work, we study the potential of sputter-deposited aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) as an alternative to the widely used but relatively expensive indium tin oxide (ITO) as cathode material in semitransparent polymer-fullerene solar cells. Concerning the anode, we utilized an insulator/metal/insulator structure based on ultra-thin Au films embedded between two evaporated MoO$_3$ layers, with the outer MoO$_3$ film (capping layer) serving as a light coupling layer. The performance of the ITO-free semitransparent solar cells is systematically studied as dependent on the thickness of the capping layer and the active layer, as well as the illumination direction. These variations are found to have strong impact on the obtained photocurrent. We performed optical simulations of the electric field distribution within the devices to analyze the origin of the current variations and provide deep insight in the device physics. With the conventional absorber materials studied herein, optimized ITO-free and semitransparent devices reached 2.0% power conversion efficiency and a maximum optical transmission of 60%, with the device concept being potentially transferable to other absorber materials.

description: LaCrGe$_3$ is an itinerant ferromagnet with a Curie temperature of $T_{\rm c}$ = 85 K and exhibits an avoided ferromagnetic quantum critical point under pressure through a modulated antiferromagnetic phase as well as tri-critical wing structure in its temperature-pressure-magnetic field ($T$-$p$-$H$) phase diagram. In order to understand the static and dynamical magnetic properties of LaCrGe$_3$, we carried out $^{139}$La nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. Based on the analysis of NMR data, using the self-consistent-renomalization (SCR) theory, the spin fluctuations in the paramagnetic state are revealed to be isotropic ferromagnetic and three dimensional (3D) in nature. Moreover, the system is found to follow the generalized Rhodes-Wohfarth relation which is expected in 3D itinerant ferromagnetic systems. As compared to other similar itinerant ferromagnets, the Cr 3$d$ electrons and their spin fluctuations are characterized to have a relatively high degree of localization in real space.

description: Landings and prices of many species of fish follow fairly regular cycles. The msot apparent are the 12-month or seasonal cycles, induced generally by a combination of natural factors, for example, weather and spawning cycles. There are also indications of longer cycles, although their causes are some-what mroe obscure. Nonetheless, both the seasonal and the longer cycles can be measured with some precision with the use of harmonic analysis, which is especially suited to the study of rhythms and repititions (whether in music or economics). Cycles are, or should be, the concern of all connected with our fisheries-- from the fishermen to the conservationist planner.

description: The possibility of the $D_{3d}$ distortion of ${\rm TiO}_6$ octahedra is examined theoretically in order to understand the origin of the G-type antiferromagnetism (AFM(G)) and experimentally observed puzzling properties of ${\rm LaTiO}_3$. By utilizing an effective spin and pseudospin Hamiltonian with the strong Coulomb repulsion, it is shown that AFM(G) state is stabilized through the lift of the $t_{2g}$-orbital degeneracy accompanied by a tiny $D_{3d}$-distortion . The estimated spin-exchange interaction is in agreement with that obtained by the neutron scattering. Moreover, the level-splitting energy due to the distortion can be considerably larger than the spin-orbit interaction even when the distortion becomes smaller than the detectable limit under the available experimental resolution. This suggests that the orbital momentum is fully quenched and the relativistic spin-orbit interaction is not effective in this system, in agreement with recent neutron-scattering experiment.

description: Parents’ elaboration plays an important role in autobiographical memory and socioemotional development. Two types of coding approaches have been used to assess parents’ elaboration: a frequency-based coding (absolute frequencies of different types of elaborative utterances) and a scale-based coding (a 5-point scale based on relative frequencies of types of questions). We examined whether these two coding approaches were related and whether they were differentially associated with child autobiographical memory and socioemotional skills. Sixty-eight preschoolers (M = 50.32) reminisced about positive and negative past events, with their parents and with a researcher. Parents’ elaboration was assessed using the frequency- and scale-based coding approaches. Child autobiographical memory and emotion references were assessed in shared recall (parent–child conversations). Child autobiographical memory was also assessed in independent recall (researcher-child conversations). Child emotion regulation was assessed using the Challenging Situation task. The two coding approaches were moderately related. Parents’ elaboration was related to child autobiographical memory and emotion references in shared recall, regardless of the coding approach. Whereas the frequency-based coding was uniquely related to child memory in the independent recall, the scale-based coding was uniquely related to child emotion regulation. Implications of using diverse coding approaches to understand the role of parents in child development are discussed.

description: We consider a truthful facility location problem in which there is a set of agents with private locations on the line of real numbers, and the goal is to place a number of facilities at different locations chosen from the set of those reported by the agents. Given a feasible solution, each agent suffers an individual cost that is either its total distance to all facilities (sum-variant) or its distance to the farthest facility (max-variant). For both variants, we show tight bounds on the approximation ratio of strategyproof mechanisms in terms of the social cost, the total individual cost of the agents.

We compare the direct approach and the covariant approach to this problem. Two forms of currents have been adopted in our calculation and their effects on the results are discussed. Numerical results obtained in both direct and covariant approaches are presented. The splitting between spin 1/2 and 3/2 doublets derived from our calculation is {Σ_Q^*}^2-Σ_Q^2\simeq 0.35\pm 0.03 GeV^2 which is in good agreement with the experiment.

description: Because the San Pedro wetfish fleet is shrinking and is not yielding good wages for fishermen or good returns to investors, it needs to improve its economic state. The fleet is antiquated,and one way it can improve itself is by constructing new, efficient vessels, both for replacement of vessels and for expansion of the fleet to harvest presently underexploited stocks of jack mackerel and anchovies in the California Current. The study reported here investigated the feasibility of this approach. It found that, at present rates of catch and prices of fish, the construction of new vessels is not economically feasible--even if the construction is subsidized. It also found, however, that expansion of the fleet through acquisition of surplus vessels from other fisheries is feasible, given sufficient demand for wetfish at present prices.
Peculiarities of escape kinetics in the presence of athermal noises

description: Stochastic evolution of various dynamic systems and reaction networks is commonly described in terms of noise assisted escape of an overdamped particle from a potential well, as devised by the paradigmatic Langevin equation in which additive Gaussian stochastic force reproduces effects of thermal fluctuations from the reservoir. When implemented for systems close to equilibrium, the approach correctly explains emergence of Boltzmann distribution for the ensemble of trajectories generated by Langevin equation and relates intensity of the noise strength to the mobility. This scenario can be further generalized to include effects of non-Gaussian, burst-like forcing modeled by Lévy noise. In this case however, the pulsatile additive noise cannot be treated as the internal (thermal), since the relation between the strength of the friction and variance of the noise is violated. Heavy tails of Lévy noise distributions not only facilitate escape kinetics, but more importantly, change the escape protocol by altering final stationary state to a non-Boltzmann, non-equilibrium form. As a result, contrary to the kinetics induced by a Gaussian white noise, escape rates in environments with Lévy noise are determined not by the barrier height, but instead, by the barrier width. We further discuss consequences of simultaneous action of thermal and Lévy noises on statistics of passage times and population of reactants in double-well potentials.

description: The hydrostatic equilibrium state is the consequence of the exact hydrostatic balance between hydrostatic pressure and external force. Standard finite volume or finite difference schemes cannot keep this balance exactly due to their unbalanced truncation errors. In this study, we introduce an auxiliary variable which becomes constant at isothermal hydrostatic equilibrium state and propose a well-balanced gas kinetic scheme for the Navier-Stokes equations with a global reconstruction. Through reformulating the convection term and the force term via the auxiliary variable, zero numerical flux and zero numerical source term are enforced at the hydrostatic equilibrium state instead of the balance between hydrostatic pressure and external force. Several problems are tested numerically to demonstrate the accuracy and the stability of the new scheme, and the results confirm that, the new scheme can preserve the exact hydrostatic solution. The small perturbation riding on hydrostatic equilibria can be calculated accurately. The viscous effect is also illustrated through the propagation of small perturbation and the Rayleigh-Taylor instability. More importantly, the new scheme is capable of simulating the process of converging towards hydrostatic equilibrium state from a highly non-balanced initial condition. The ultimate state of zero velocity and constant temperature is achieved up to machine accuracy. As demonstrated by the numerical experiments, the current scheme is very suitable for small amplitude perturbation and long time running under gravitational potential.

description: Structure of cold dense matter at subnuclear densities is investigated by quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations. We succeeded in showing that the phases with slab-like and rod-like nuclei etc. can be formed dynamically from hot uniform nuclear matter without any assumptions on nuclear shape. We also observe intermediate phases, which has complicated nuclear shapes. Geometrical structures of matter are analyzed with Minkowski functionals, and it is found out that intermediate phases can be characterized as ones with negative Euler characteristic. Our result suggests the existence of these kinds of phases in addition to the simple ``pasta'' phases in neutron star crusts.

description: The tight correlation between the masses of central black holes and their host spheroids in nearby galaxies and active galactic nuclei suggests that black hole growth is closely related to their spheroid formation. Based on our previous work regarding such a joint evolutionary scheme and the consequential black hole to bulge mass correlation, we use the X-ray luminosity function of AGN and the cosmological evolution rate which are from ROSAT X-ray surveys to estimate the cosmic star formation history associated with the black hole growth. By the Basic assumption that the major black hole growth occurs during the luminous AGN phase, the luminosity function of AGNs as a function of redshift traces not only the accretion history of the black holes but also the cosmic star formation history of the spheroids. Although the space density of the especially luminous QSOs is very low, we show that the total amount of star formation associated with the massive black hole growth is almost the same as that of Lyman Break Galaxies detected by the current optical deep surveys. We thus argue that the optical deep surveys may miss about half of the net star formation in our Universe, This is probably due to in part significant dust extinction as well as the small field of view of previous optical surveys which cannot sample such rare events with relatively short time scale. However, the far infrared emission from the dust heated by star fomation on-going during the black hole growth could sufficiently account for the observed SCUBA number counts, and would be the probable dominating energy source of the SUBA population.

description: This experiment investigated the benefits of feeding steers bred from parents known to be of high genetic merit for feed efficiency (HE; midparent net feed intake-estimated breeding value (NFI-EBV) ≤-0.3kg/day), medium efficiency (ME: midparent NFI-EBV >-0.3 to 0.14 kg/day), or low efficiency (LE; midparent NFI-EBV ≥0.16kg/day). The steers were evaluated over a 251-day feeding period in a large commercial feedlot. Genetic superiority in NFI had a favourable impact on the commercial performance of Angus steers by reducing feed consumed with no adverse effect on final turnoff weight. Each HE steer consumed on average 2.60t of feed compared to 2.87t by the ME and LE steers, with no compromise in weight gain. The HE steers gained less subcutaneous ribfat during the feedlot period but marbling scores were not influenced by NFI, and dressing percentage was higher in the HE steers. The feed efficiency benefit was sustained for 251 days and showed that genetic improvement of feed efficiency will reduce feed costs in a large commercial feedlot.

description: A system of self-consistent integral equations for the superconducting gap is formulated and solved taking account of the instability of the normal phase of bilayered cuprates against charge-density waves. The critical parameters are calculated as a function of the wave vector, temperature, and doping index. It is found that the region in which superconductivity coexists with d-type charge-density waves depends strongly on the doping index. The effective energy-gap parameter, determined as the interval between the peaks of the density of states, can have a local minimum at temperatures T$

description: After providing an explicit K-stability condition for a $\mathbb{Q}$-Gorenstein log spherical cone, we prove the existence and uniqueness of an equivariant K-stable degeneration of the cone, and deduce uniqueness of the asymptotic cone of a given complete $K$-invariant Calabi-Yau metric in the trivial class of an affine $G$-spherical manifold, $K$ being the maximal compact subgroup of $G$.
 Next, we prove that the valuation induced by $K$-invariant Calabi-Yau metrics on affine $G$-spherical manifolds is in fact $G$-invariant. As an application, we point out an affine smoothing of a Calabi-Yau cone that does not admit any $K$-invariant Calabi-Yau metrics asymptotic to the cone. Another corollary is that on $\mathbb{C}^3$, there are no other complete Calabi-Yau metrics with maximal volume growth and spherical symmetry other than the standard flat metric and the Li-Conlon-Rochon-Székelyhidi metrics with horospherical asymptotic cone. This answers the question whether there is a nontrivial asymptotic cone with smooth cross section on $\mathbb{C}^{3}$ raised by Conlon-Rochon when the symmetry is spherical.

description: Real-time systems (RTSs) are at the heart of numerous safety-critical applications. An RTS typically consists of a set of real-time tasks (the software) that execute on a multicore shared-memory platform (the hardware) following a scheduling policy. In an RTS, computing inter-core bounds, i.e., bounds separating events produced by tasks on different cores, is crucial. While efficient techniques to over-approximate such bounds exist, little has been proposed to compute their exact values. Given an RTS with a set of cores C and a set of tasks T , under partitioned fixed-priority scheduling with limited preemption, a recent work by Foughali, Hladik and Zuepke (FHZ) models tasks with affinity c (i.e., allocated to core c in C) as a Uppaal timed automata (TA) network Nc. For each core c in C, Nc integrates blocking (due to data sharing) using tight analytical formulae. Through compositional model checking, FHZ achieved a substantial gain in scalability for bounds local to a core. However, computing inter-core bounds for some events of interest E, produced by a subset of tasks TE with different affinities CE, requires model checking the parallel composition of all TA networks Nc for each c in CE, which produces a large, often intractable, state space. In this paper, we present a new scalable approach based on exact abstractions to compute exact inter-core bounds in a schedulable RTS, under the assumption that tasks in TE have distinct affinities. We develop a novel algorithm, leveraging a new query that we implement in Uppaal, that computes for each TA network Nc in NE an abstraction A(Nc) preserving the exact intervals within which events occur on c, therefore drastically reducing the state space. The scalability of our approach is demonstrated on the WATERS 2017 industrial challenge, for which we efficiently compute various types of inter-core bounds where FHZ fails to scale.

Analytical approximations for the dispersion of electromagnetic modes in slabs of biaxial crystals

description: Anisotropic crystals have recently attracted considerable attention because of their ability to support polaritons with a variety of unique properties, such as hyperbolic dispersion, negative phase velocity, or extreme confinement. Particularly, the biaxial crystal $α$-MoO$_3$ has been demonstrated to support phonon polaritons, light coupled to lattice vibrations, with in-plane anisotropic propagation and unusually long lifetime. However, the lack of theoretical studies on electromagnetic modes in biaxial crystal slabs impedes a complete interpretation of the experimental data, as well as an efficient design of nanostructures supporting such highly anisotropic polaritons. Here, we derive the dispersion relation of electromagnetic modes in biaxial slabs surrounded by semi-infinite isotropic dielectric half-spaces with arbitrary dielectric permittivities. Apart from a general dispersion relation, we provide very simple analytical expressions in typical experiments in nano-optics: the limits of short polaritonic wavelength and/or very thin slabs. The results of our study will allow for an in-depth analysis of anisotropic polaritons in novel biaxial van der Waals materials.

Absence of effective spins 1/2 induced by nonmagnetic impurities in a class of low-dimensional magnets

description: We show that doping a Majumdar--Ghosh chain with non-magnetic impurities does {\it not} produce almost free spins 1/2. The difference between this system and other spin liquids, such as unfrustrated spin ladders, is illustrated in the context of the general dimerized, frustrated spin chain. By detailed analysis of the excitation spectra of finite chains with two impurities, we investigate the evolution of the screening affecting impurity-induced free spins, and of the sign and magnitude of their effective interactions. We comment on a possible connection to impurity-doping experiments in CuGeO_3.

description: In a recent work, Jungnickel, Magliveras, Tonchev, and Wassermann derived an overexponential lower bound on the number of nonisomorphic resolvable Steiner triple systems (STS) of order $v$, where $v=3^k$, and $3$-rank $v-k$. We develop an approach to generalize this bound and estimate the number of isomorphism classes of STS$(v)$ of rank $v-k-1$ for an arbitrary $v$ of form $3^kT$.
The nature of farm succession in three New South Wales communities

description: Farm transfer between generations of the same family has long been considered a highly significant aspect of rural ideology in Australia with major ramifications for farm management decision making. However, the importance attached to family farm succession has been increasingly questioned in current literature. Results from a study in rural culture in New South Wales support the contention that succession is declining in importance, highlighting instead that the wellbeing and education of younger family members is being placed ahead of expectations that children will automatically take over their parents' property and remain in farming. Implications of this trend for farm management are flagged and directions for further research explored.

description: We investigated photon-helicity-induced magnetization precession in Co$_{1-x}$Pt$_{x}$ alloy thin films. In addition to field-like torque, attributable to magnetic field generation owing to {\it the inverse Faraday effect}, we observed non-trivial and large damping-like torque which has never been discussed for single ferromagnetic layer. The composition dependence of those two torques is effectively elucidated by a model that considers mutual coupling via spin-orbit interaction between magnetization and the electronic orbital angular momentum generated by photon-helicity. This work significantly enhances our understanding of the physics relevant to the interplay of photon-helicity and magnetization in magnetic metals.

description: Ecological engineering has recently emerged as a paradigm for considering pest management approaches that are based on cultural practices and informed by ecological knowledge rather than on high technology approaches such as synthetic pesticides and genetically engineered crops (Gurr et al. 2004a). This article provides a brief summary of ecological engineering for arthropod pest management and contrasts it with its controversial cousin, genetic engineering. The development of ecological engineering is explored, ranging from a simple first approximation that diversity is beneficial, to contemporary understanding that diversity can have adverse effects on pest management. This requires that the functional mechanisms that lead components of biodiversity to suppress pest activity are better understood and exploited. Pest suppression via ecological engineering is placed in the broader context of ‘ecosystem services’ provided by farmland biodiversity including nitrogen fixation and the conservation of pollinator species and wildlife.
