description: In this work, we present a new catalogue of >40000 ionised nebulae distributed across the 19 galaxies observed by the PHANGS-MUSE survey. The nebulae have been classified using a new model-comparison-based algorithm that exploits the odds ratio principle to assign a probabilistic classification to each nebula in the sample. The resulting catalogue is the largest catalogue containing complete spectral and spatial information for a variety of ionised nebulae available so far in the literature. We developed this new algorithm to address some of the limitations of the traditional classification criteria, such as their binarity, the sharpness of the involved limits, and the limited amount of data they rely on for the classification. The analysis of the catalogue shows that the algorithm performs well when selecting H II regions. We can recover their luminosity function, and its properties are in line with what is available in the literature. We also identify a rather significant population of shock-ionised regions (mostly composed of supernova remnants), an order of magnitude larger than any other homogeneous catalogue of supernova remnants currently available in the literature. The number of supernova remnants we identify per galaxy is in line with results in our Galaxy and other very nearby sources. However, limitations in the source detection algorithm result in an incomplete sample of planetary nebulae, even though their classification seems robust. Finally, we demonstrate how applying a correction for the contribution of the diffuse ionised gas to the nebulae's spectra is essential to obtain a robust classification of the objects and how a correct measurement of the extinction using DIG-corrected line fluxes prompts the use of a higher theoretical Ha/Hb ratio (3.03) than what is commonly used when recovering the E(B-V) via the Balmer decrement technique in massive star-forming galaxies.

description: We present the results on broadband X-ray properties of persistent black hole binaries GRS 1758$-$258 and 1E 1740.7$-$2942 using AstroSat, NuSTAR and Swift-XRT observations carried out during 2016$-$2022. We perform spectral modeling of both sources after eliminating the contamination in their \textit{LAXPC} spectra from nearby X-ray sources. Preliminary spectral modelling using Comptonization and line emission ($\sim$ 6.4 keV) models suggest that GRS 1758$-$258 occupies both dim-soft state ($kT_{bb}=0.37\pm0.01$ keV, $Γ\sim5.9$, $L_{bol}=1 %$ of Eddington luminosity L$_{Edd}$) and hard state ($Γ=1.64-2.22$, $kT_{e}$=4$-$45 keV, $L_{bol}$=1$-$5 % L$_{Edd}$) that requires a multi-colour disc blackbody model ($kT_{in}=0.54\pm0.01$ keV) occasionally. 1E 1740.7$-$2942 instead is found only in hard state ($Γ$=1.67$-$2.32, $kT_{e}$=5$-$16 keV, $L_{bol}$=1$-$2 % L$_{Edd}$). Reflection properties of both sources are studied by applying relativistic reflection model RELXILL to the broadband spectra. Our results from \textit{AstroSat} and \textit{NuSTAR} consistently unveiled the presence of a Comptonizing region along with an ionized reflection region (ionization parameter $logξ$=2.7$-$3.8 and 2.7$-$4.7 erg cm s$^{-1}$ in GRS 1758$-$258 and 1E 1740.7$-$2942 respectively) in both sources. Reflection modeling revealed GRS 1758$-$258 to have a high metal abundance ($A_{fe}=3.9^{+0.4}_{-0.3}$ times solar metal abundance) and inclination angle ($i$) of $61\pm2^{\circ}$. In case of 1E 1740.7$-$2942, $i$ is constrained to be $55\pm1^{\circ}$. Finally, we discuss the implication of our findings in the context of accretion dynamics by comparing our results with the previous studies.

description: The theory of Type~I migration has been widely used in many studies. Transiting multi-planet systems offer us the opportunity to examine the consistency between observation and theory, especially for those systems harbouring planets in Mean Motion Resonance (MMR). The displacement these resonant pairs show from exact commensurability provides us with information on their migration and eccentricity-damping histories. Here, we adopt a probabilistic approach, characterized by two distributions -- appropriate for either the resonant or non-resonant planets -- to fit the observed planet period ratio distribution. With the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method, we find that ${\approx}15\%$ of exoplanets are in first order ($j+1{:}j$) MMRs, the ratio of eccentricity-to-semi-major axis damping is too high to allow overstable librations and that the results are by-and-large consistent with Type-I migration theory. In addition, our modeling finds that a small fraction of resonant pairs is captured into resonance during migration, implying late planet formation (gas-poor). Most of the resonant pairs park themselves at the migration barrier, indicating early planet formation (gas-rich). Furthermore, after improving the criterion on two-body resonant trapping, we obtain an upper limit of the disc surface density at the time the planets are locked in resonance.

description: In this article we review the state of the art on the transport properties of quantum dot systems connected to superconducting and normal electrodes. The review is mainly focused on the theoretical achievements although a summary of the most relevant experimental results is also given. A large part of the discussion is devoted to the single level Anderson type models generalized to include superconductivity in the leads, which already contains most of the interesting physical phenomena. Particular attention is paid to the competition between pairing and Kondo correlations, the emergence of π-junction behavior, the interplay of Andreev and resonant tunneling, and the important role of Andreev bound states which characterized the spectral properties of most of these systems. We give technical details on the several different analytical and numerical methods which have been developed for describing these properties. We further discuss the recent theoretical efforts devoted to extend this analysis to more complex situations like multidot, multilevel or multiterminal configurations in which novel phenomena is expected to emerge. These include control of the localized spin states by a Josephson current and also the possibility of creating entangled electron pairs by means of non-local Andreev processes.

Disk Evolution: Testing The Foundations

description: Models for planet formation and observable large-scale structure in protoplanetary disks are built on a foundation of gas-phase physics. In the simplest telling, it is assumed that the disk evolves due to turbulence, and that photoevaporation is the

dominant driver of mass loss. How secure is this foundation to our understanding? I will review recent results from magnetohydrodynamic simulations of protoplanetary disks, which suggest a modified picture in which MHD winds and fossil magnetic flux play a critical role. I will discuss what these theoretical results may imply for observations of disks.

description: © 2018 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd. This is an Open Access article under the CC BY 4.0 license Background: Enteropathogen infections in early childhood not only cause diarrhoea but contribute to poor growth. We used molecular diagnostics to assess whether particular enteropathogens were associated with linear growth across seven low-resource settings. Methods: We used quantitative PCR to detect 29 enteropathogens in diarrhoeal and non-diarrhoeal stools collected from children in the first 2 years of life obtained during the Etiology, Risk Factors, and Interactions of Enteric Infections and Malnutrition and the Consequences for Child Health and Development (MAL-ED) multisite cohort study. Length was measured monthly. We estimated associations between aetiology-specific diarrhoea and subclinical enteropathogen infection and quantity and attained length in 3 month intervals, at age 2 and 5 years, and used a longitudinal model to account for temporality and time-dependent confounding. Findings: Among 1469 children who completed 2 year follow-up, 35 622 stool samples were tested and yielded valid results. Diarrhoeal episodes attributed to bacteria and parasites, but not viruses, were associated with small decreases in length after 3 months and at age 2 years. Substantial decrements in length at 2 years were associated with subclinical, non-diarrhoeal, infection with Shigella (length-for-age Z score [LAZ] reduction −0·14, 95% CI −0·27 to −0·01), enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (−0·21, −0·37 to −0·05), Campylobacter (−0·17, −0·32 to −0·01), and Giardia (−0·17, −0·30 to −0·05). Norovirus, Cryptosporidium, typical enteropathogenic E coli, and Enterocytozoon bieneusi were also associated with small decrements in LAZ. Shigella and E bieneusi were associated with the largest decreases in LAZ per log increase in quantity per g of stool (−0·13 LAZ, 95% CI −0·22 to −0·03 for Shigella; −0·14, −0·26 to −0·02 for E bieneusi). Based on these models, interventions that successfully decrease exposure to Shigella, enteroaggregative E coli, Campylobacter, and Giardia could increase mean length of children by 0·12–0·37 LAZ (0·4–1·2 cm) at the MAL-ED sites. Interpretation: Subclinical infection and quantity of pathogens, particularly Shigella, enteroaggregative E coli, Campylobacter, and Giardia, had a substantial negative association with linear growth, which was sustained during the first 2 years of life, and in some cases, to 5 years. Successfully reducing exposure to certain pathogens might reduce global stunting. Funding: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Nonsuicidal self-injury in queer youth
Creators: name: Finnbogason, Signe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The phenomenon of nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) involves the deliberate harm to one’s own body tissue, such as cutting or burning one’s skin, in the absence of suicidal intent or a pervasive developmental delay. Some prevalence studies have indicated that gay and bisexual youth may be at an increased risk of engaging in NSSI, but these studies have had very small numbers of non-heterosexual respondents (e.g., Murray, Warm, & Fox, 2005). The current study sought to investigate more fully the phenomenon of NSSI in lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, genderqueer, and heterosexual individuals. The sample consisted of 155 heterosexual people aged 19-29 and 230 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, and genderqueer people who responded to an online survey advertised across Canada. Participants replied to questions about background, gender identity, and sexual orientation, followed by questions from the Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Questionnaire (NSSI-Q), and the Center for Epidemiological Studies- Depression (CES-D) inventory. Findings indicate that there was a statistically significant difference in the rates of NSSI in the total queer sample (47%) compared to the heterosexual sample (28%). The highest rate of self-injury was in the transgendered and genderqueer sub-sample, which had a NSSI rate of 67%. This subsample also had the highest severity of self-injury. Parental reaction to coming out was statistically significantly related to rates of self-injury, while one’s own reaction to identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered, or genderqueer had a statistically significant relationship with severity of self-injury. There was also a relationship between the severity of self-injury and having been physically attacked due to sexual orientation or gender identity or having experienced homophobic bullying. The findings suggest that sexual orientation can have an impact on self-injury; implications for theory, practice, and research are discussed.

description: S. B. Rao conjectured that graphic sequences are well-quasi-ordered under an inclusion based on induced subgraphs. This conjecture has now been settled completely by M. Chudnovsky and P. Seymour. One part of the proof proves the result for the bounded case, a result proved independently by C. J. Altomare. We give two short proofs of the bounded case of S. B. Rao's conjecture. Both the proofs use the fact that if the number of entries in an integer sequence (with even sum) is much larger than its highest term, then it is necessarily graphic.

description: Kepler-16 is an eccentric low-mass eclipsing binary with a circumbinary transiting planet. Here we investigate the angular momentum of the primary star, based on Kepler photometry and Keck spectroscopy. The primary star's rotation period is 35.1 +/- 1.0 days, and its projected obliquity with respect to the stellar binary orbit is 1.6 +/- 2.4 degrees. Therefore the three largest sources of angular momentum---the stellar orbit, the planetary orbit, and the primary's rotation---are all closely aligned. This finding supports a formation scenario involving accretion from a single disk. Alternatively, tides may have realigned the stars despite their relatively wide separation (0.2 AU), a hypothesis that is supported by the agreement between the measured rotation period and the "pseudosynchronous" period of tidal evolution theory. The rotation period, chromospheric activity level, and fractional light variations suggest a main-sequence age of 2-4 Gyr. Evolutionary models of low-mass stars can match the observed masses and radii of the primary and secondary stars to within about 3%.

description: This study investigates the effectiveness of Tea Tree Oil (TTO) in preventing aluminum corrosion in diesel-biodiesel–ethanol blends and identifies its optimal concentration for corrosion inhibition. Aluminum corrosion in these fuel blends presents a significant challenge for the automotive and transportation industries. To address this, aluminum specimens were immersed in fuel blends containing varying TTO concentrations (0–5%) for 600 and 900 h. Corrosion rates were measured through weight loss, and surface morphology was examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that TTO significantly inhibited corrosion, with its effectiveness increasing proportionally to its concentration. At a 5% TTO concentration, weight loss reduction reached 90.5%, and the corrosion rate decreased by 90.9% over 600 h. Inhibition efficiency peaked at 90.48% for the same concentration and duration. SEM analysis confirmed these findings, revealing improved surface preservation with increasing TTO concentration, with the 5% sample exhibiting an almost pristine surface. This study demonstrates that TTO is a highly effective and sustainable corrosion inhibitor for aluminum in diesel–biodiesel–ethanol blends. Its performance suggests that it could be a viable alternative to traditional corrosion inhibitors, with significant implications for enhancing the durability of aluminum components in biofuel systems and promoting environmentally friendly fuel alternatives.

description: FU Orionis (FUor) and EX Lupi (EXor) type objects represent two small, but rather spectacular groups of low-mass, young eruptive stars. Outbursts of several magnitudes are observed, attributed to enhanced accretion from the circumstellar disk onto the central protostar. The host molecular environments of FUors/EXors are poorly explored due to the scarcity of systematic molecular line observations. We carried out the first dedicated survey of the molecular environments of a large sample of FUors/EXors, observing a total of 51 sources with the aim of studying the ammonia (NH$_3$) emission in their host environments. We observed the ammonia (J,K)=(1,1), (2,2), and (3,3) inversion transitions using the Effelsberg 100-m radio telescope. We derived H$_2$ column densities and dust temperatures using archival Herschel SPIRE data. We detected the (1,1) transition toward 28 sources and the (2,2) transition toward 12 sources, while the (3,3) transition was detected toward only two sources. We find kinetic temperatures between ~12 K and 21 K, ammonia column densities from $5.2\times10^{13}\,cm^{-2}$ to $3.2\times10^{15}\,cm^{-2}$, and fractional ammonia abundances with respect to H$_{2}$ from $4.7\times10^{-9}$ to $1.5\times10^{-7}$. The results are comparable to those found in infrared dark clouds (IRDCs). Kinetic analysis suggests that most of the eruptive stars in our sample reside in rather quiescent (sonic or transonic) host environments. Our NH$_3$ observations and analysis of the SPIRE dust-based H$_2$ column density maps confirm the presence of dense material toward 7 sources in our sample; additional sources might also harbour dense gas based on their NH$_2$ (2,2) detections, might indicate an earlier phase than originally classified. Based on our results, we suggest observations targeting additional molecular lines would help to refine the evolutionary classification of eruptive stars.

description: Recently, several classifiers that combine primary tumor data, like gene expression data, and secondary data sources, such as protein-protein interaction networks, have been proposed for predicting outcome in breast cancer. In these approaches, new composite features are typically constructed by aggregating the expression levels of several genes. The secondary data sources are employed to guide this aggregation. Although many studies claim that these approaches improve classification performance over single gene classifiers, the gain in performance is difficult to assess. This stems mainly from the fact that different breast cancer data sets and validation procedures are employed to assess the performance. Here we address these issues by employing a large cohort of six breast cancer data sets as benchmark set and by performing an unbiased evaluation of the classification accuracies of the different approaches. Contrary to previous claims, we find that composite feature classifiers do not outperform simple single gene classifiers. We investigate the effect of (1) the number of selected features; (2) the specific gene set from which features are selected; (3) the size of the training set and (4) the heterogeneity of the data set on the performance of composite feature and single gene classifiers. Strikingly, we find that randomization of secondary data sources, which destroys all biological information in these sources, does not result in a deterioration in performance of composite feature classifiers. Finally, we show that when a proper correction for gene set size is performed, the stability of single gene sets is similar to the stability of composite feature sets. Based on these results there is currently no reason to prefer prognostic classifiers based on composite features over single gene classifiers for predicting outcome in breast cancer.

description: © 2018 Eren et al. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/. Next generation sequencing of viral populations has advanced our understanding of viral population dynamics, the development of drug resistance, and escape from host immune responses. Many applications require complete gene sequences, which can be impossible to reconstruct from short reads. HIV env, the protein of interest for HIV vaccine studies, is exceptionally challenging for long-read sequencing and analysis due to its length, high substitution rate, and extensive indel variation. While long-read sequencing is attractive in this setting, the analysis of such data is not well handled by existing methods. To address this, we introduce FLEA (Full-Length Envelope Analyzer), which performs end-to-end analysis and visualization of long-read sequencing data. FLEA consists of both a pipeline (optionally run on a high-performance cluster), and a client-side web application that provides interactive results. The pipeline transforms FASTQ reads into high-quality consensus sequences (HQCSs) and uses them to build a codon-aware multiple sequence alignment. The resulting alignment is then used to infer phylogenies, selection pressure, and evolutionary dynamics. The web application provides publication-quality plots and interactive visualizations, including an annotated viral alignment browser, time series plots of evolutionary dynamics, visualizations of gene-wide selective pressures (such as dN/dS) across time and across protein structure, and a phylogenetic tree browser. We demonstrate how FLEA may be used to process Pacific Biosciences HIV env data and describe recent examples of its use. Simulations show how FLEA dramatically reduces the error rate of this sequencing platform, providing an accurate portrait of complex and variable HIV env populations. A public instance of FLEA is hosted at http://flea.datamonkey.org. The Python source code for the FLEA pipeline can be found at https://github.com/veg/flea-pipeline. The client-side application is available at https://github.com/veg/flea-web-app. A live demo of the P018 results can be found at http://flea.murrell.group/view/P018.

description: Urban green spaces are critical to the development and maintenance of urban ecosystems. The development and siting of urban green spaces impact a city and its residents. Urban green spaces promote physical activity and improve psychological wellbeing. These spaces also cultivate a myriad of social, cultural, and economic benefits. The issue that now faces municipalities and decision makers, is green space accessibility and distributional equity. The great migration, white flight, and the historical context of redlining segregated African Americans and other minority groups which in turn created urban environments that have pockets of “ghettos” whose residents are often socio-economically disadvantaged. These areas are often underfunded, overlooked and underserved. These communities tend to lack access to urban green spaces and therefore do not reap their many environmental, physiological, social, cultural, and economic benefits. This practicum is a comprehensive literature review that assesses relevant scholarly articles and analyzes the effect of inequity in accessibility and distribution of green spaces on marginalized populations from an environmental justice lens. Based on data and information gathered, it can be concluded that the residents of neighborhoods where urban green spaces are sparse or nonexistent, many of whom are African American and low income, are at a disadvantage because urban green spaces play an indispensable role in urban ecosystems, the mitigation of climate change, socialization, physiological health, and economic prosperity.
Faith As Motivation For Tourists/La Fe, Una Motivación Turística

description: Abstract

This thesis, entitled “Faith as motivation for tourists” (La fe, una motivación turística), is a translation, from Spanish to Greek, of five articles from the monthly magazine Hosteltur. It presents and comments the translation issues that have arisen during the translation process. This magazine specializes in tourism issues and has been published since 1994.

The purpose of this thesis is the translation of these texts into Greek and to find the linguistic equivalents of Catholic Christians in Spain.

The Spanish texts are presented firstly and then their translation into Greek with footnotes. Furthermore, a glossary has been created which includes various terms from the original texts and their Greek translation. Examples of the use of these terms, both in Spanish and in Greek, are presented in a separate section. These examples were gathered after extensive research in parallel texts. The thesis is completed with the documentation of translation options and the strategies that have been used.

This thesis revealed the inadequacy of dictionaries for terms relating to the religious traditions of Spain. Instead, it was necessary to search in parallel texts in order to find interlingual linguistic equivalents. The research hypotheses of this project were to adapt the cultural elements of these texts, to establish the equivalents of various terms from Spanish into Greek, and ultimately to determine whether the terms "religious tourism" and "pilgrimage" coincide.

In conclusion, in order to translate this sort of texts, the translator needs to use not only dictionaries and the Internet, but also research in parallel texts. Additionally, the knowledge and understanding of the historical background is important, as is of course the help of experts (priests, people who work in tourism and residents of Spain).

description: We study the 3d $\mathcal{N}=4$ RG-flows triggered by Fayet-Iliopoulos deformations in unitary quiver theories. These deformations can be implemented by a new quiver algorithm which contains at its heart a problem at the intersection of linear algebra and graph theory. When interpreted as magnetic quivers for SQFTs in various dimensions, our results provide a systematic way to explore RG-flows triggered by mass deformations and generalizations thereof. This is illustrated by case studies of SQCD theories and low rank 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs. A delightful by-product of our work is the discovery of an interesting new 3d mirror pair.

description: © 2018, The Author(s). Octahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizine ring system forms the basic framework comprised of more than 2000 distinct family members of natural products. Despite the potential applications of this privileged substructure in drug discovery, efficient, atom-economic and modular strategies for its assembly, is underdeveloped. Here we show a one-step build/couple/pair strategy that uniquely allows access to diverse octahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizine scaffolds with more than three contiguous chiral centers and broad distribution of molecular shapes via desymmetrization of the oxidative-dearomatization products of phenols. The cascade demonstrates excellent diastereoselectivity, and the enantioselectivity exceeded 99% when amino acids are used as chiral reagents. Furthermore, two diastereoselective reactions for the synthesis of oxocanes and piperazinones, is reported. Phenotypic screening of the octahydroindolo[2,3-a]quinolizine library identifies small molecule probes that selectively suppress mitochondrial membrane potential, ATP contents and elevate the ROS contents in hepatoma cells (Hepa1–6) without altering the immunological activation or reprogramming of T- and B-cells, a promising approach to cancer therapy.

description: String cosmology models predict a relic background of gravitational-wave (GW) radiation in the early universe. The GW energy spectrum of radiated power increases rapidly with the frequency, and therefore it becomes a potential and meaningful observation object for high-frequency GW detector. We focus on the stochastic background generated by superinflation in string theory and search for such signal in the observing data of Advanced LIGO and Virgo O1$\sim$O3 runs in a Bayesian framework. We do not find the existence of the signal, and thus put constraints on the GW energy density. Our results indicate that at $f=100\,\text{Hz}$, the fractional energy density of GW background is less than $1.7\times10^{-8}$ and $2.1\times10^{-8}$ for dilaton-string and dilaton only cases respectively, and further rule out the parameter space restricted by the model itself due to the non-decreasing dilaton and stable cosmology background ($β$ bound).

description: © 2018 The Author(s). Background: Evidence focused on exposure to ambient carbon monoxide (CO) and the risk of hospitalizations for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is lacking in developing countries. This study aimed to examine the effect of CO exposure on hospitalizations for CVD in Beijing, China. Methods: A total of 460,938 hospitalizations for cardiovascular diseases were obtained from electronic hospitalization summary reports from 2013 to 2017. A time-stratified case-crossover design was conducted to investigate the association between CO exposure and hospitalizations for total and cause-specific CVD, including coronary heart disease (CHD), atrial fibrillation (AF), and heart failure (HF). Stratified analysis was also conducted by age group (18-64 years and ≥ 65 years) and sex. Results: Linear exposure-response curves for the association between ambient CO exposure and hospitalizations for CVD was observed. Ambient CO was positively associated with hospitalizations for total CVD and CHD. However, the observed increased risk was not statistically significant for hospitalizations for AF and HF. The strongest effect of CO concentration was observed on the current- and previous-day of exposure (lag 0-1 day). For a 1 mg/m3 increase in a 2-day moving average CO concentration, an increase of 2.8% [95% confidence interval (CI): 2.2 to 3.3%] and 3.0% (95% CI: 2.4 to 3.6%) in daily hospital admissions for CVD and CHD were estimated, respectively. This association was robust after adjusting for other copollutants and did not vary by age group and sex. Conclusions: Ambient CO exposure increased the risk of hospitalizations for CVD, especially for CHD in Beijing. Further studies are warranted to explore the association between ambient CO and hospitalizations for AF and HF.

description: Robust control and stabilization of optical frequency combs enables an extraordinary range of scientific and technological applications, including frequency metrology at extreme levels of precision, novel spectroscopy of quantum gases and of molecules from visible wavelengths to the far infrared, searches for exoplanets, and photonic waveform synthesis. Here we report on the stabilization of a microresonator-based optical comb (microcomb) by way of mechanical actuation. This represents an important step in the development of microcomb technology, which offers a pathway toward fully-integrated comb systems. Residual fluctuations of our 32.6 GHz microcomb line spacing reach a record stability level of $5\times10^{-15}$ for 1 s averaging, thereby highlighting the potential of microcombs to support modern optical frequency standards. Furthermore, measurements of the line spacing with respect to an independent frequency reference reveal the effective stabilization of different spectral slices of the comb with a $

description: We numerically demonstrate that Lithium Niobate on Insulator (LNOI) waveguides may support confined short-wavelength surface acoustic waves that interact strongly with optical fields through backward stimulated Brillouin scattering in both $Z$ and $X$-cut orientation. We conduct fully anisotropic simulations that consider not only moving boundary and photoelastic forces, but also roto-optic forces for the Brillouin interaction. Our results indicate that photoelasticity dominates the Brillouin gain and can reach as high as $G_{B}/Q_{m}$ = 0.43 W$^{-1}$m$^{-1}$ in standard ridge waveguides

description: ALMA provides a splendid opportunity to observe a wide range of star types at millimeter wavelengths to investigate the solar-stellar connection. I will compare the sensitivities and wavelength coverages of ALMA and the JVLA to highlight the discovery space that ALMA has for stellar astronomy. At millimeter wavelengths, ALMA will be able to detect thermal and gyroresonance emission from nearby stellar chromospheres and transition regions. Comparison of millimeter fluxes from ALMA with centimeter fluxes from JVLA may be able to separate thermal from gyrosynchrotron emission from stellar coronae and thereby measure magnetic field strengths in stellar coronae. Measurements of stellar wind mass-loss rates are feasible with ALMA for giants but will be difficult for main sequence stars. The study of stellar flares should be an active area of research with ALMA.

description: We present ALMA observations of 106 G-, K-, and M-type stars in the Upper Scorpius OB Association hosting circumstellar disks.  With these data, we measure the total dust masses of these disks. We find that disk dust masses in Upper Scorpius are a factor of ~4.5 times lower than those in the younger Taurus star forming region, clear evidence of disk evolution between 1-2 Myr and 5-10 Myr.

description: The use of ring polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD) for the direct simulation of electron transfer (ET) reaction dynamics is analyzed in the context of Marcus theory, semiclassical instanton theory, and exact quantum dynamics approaches. For both fully atomistic and system-bath representations of condensed-phase ET, we demonstrate that RPMD accurately predicts both ET reaction rates and mechanisms throughout the normal and activationless regimes of the thermodynamic driving force. Analysis of the ensemble of reactive RPMD trajectories reveals the solvent reorganization mechanism for ET that is anticipated in the Marcus rate theory, and the accuracy of the RPMD rate calculation is understood in terms of its exact description of statistical fluctuations and its formal connection to semiclassical instanton theory for deep-tunneling processes. In the inverted regime of the thermodynamic driving force, neither RPMD nor a related formulation of semiclassical instanton theory capture the characteristic turnover in the reaction rate; comparison with exact quantum dynamics simulations reveals that these methods provide inadequate quantization of the real-time electronic-state dynamics in the inverted regime.
