description: Analysis of bulk meteorite compositions has revealed small isotopic variations due to the presence of material (e.g., stardust) that preserved the signature of nuclear reactions occurring in specific stellar sites. The interpretation of such anomalies provides evidence for the environment of the birth of the Sun, its accretion process, the evolution of the solar proto-planetary disk, and the formation of the planets. A crucial element of such interpretation is the comparison of the observed anomalies to predictions from models of stellar nucleosynthesis. To date, however, this comparison has been limited to a handful of model predictions. This is mostly because the calculated stellar abundances need to be transformed into a specific representation, which nuclear astrophysicists and stellar nucleosynthesis researchers are not familiar with. Here, we show in detail that this representation is needed to account for mass fractionation effects in meteorite data that can be generated both in nature and during instrumental analysis. We explain the required internal normalisation to a selected isotopic ratio, describe the motivations behind such representation more widely, and provide the tools to perform the calculations. Then, we present some examples considering two elements produced by the $slow$ neutron-capture ($s$) process: Sr and Mo. We show which specific representations for the Sr isotopic composition calculated by $s$-process models better disentangle the nucleosynthetic signatures from stars of different metallicity. For Mo, the comparison between data and models is improved due to a recent re-analysis of the $^{95}$Mo neutron-capture cross section.

description: Background: Research indicates that intimate partner violence occurs in male same-sex relationships at a similar or higher rate than in heterosexual relationships and is associated with significant distress and adverse physical and mental health outcomes. However, dominant understandings of intimate partner violence take a traditional feminist approach based on patriarchy and gender power imbalance; a framework which does not fit for male same-sex relationships. There is little understanding of the barriers which may impact men who have sex with men’s ability to seek help and the ways in which services contribute to these barriers, particularly in the UK. Aims: To explore mental health professionals’ views and experiences of the service-level barriers that face men who have sex with men who have experienced intimate partner violence as well as what services in the UK could be doing to better support them, in the hope that this will lead to improvements in support and services. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven mental health professionals and covered participants’ experiences of working with men who have sex with men who have experienced intimate partner violence, their views on the barriers to accessing support and what services could be doing to better serve this community. Results: Thematic analysis from a critical realist perspective identified three overarching themes, each with their own subthemes: ‘Confined to within’ (‘Bound by abuse’, ‘Silenced by shame’), ‘The system says ‘no’’ (‘Toxic hetero-patriarchal lens’, ‘Intersecting layers of oppression’, ‘Not the ‘right’ client’) and ‘Minority becoming majority’ (‘Mainstream services exclude’, ‘Making the inaccessible accessible’, ‘Unlearning and re-learning’). Conclusions: Results from the analysis are discussed in the context of relevant theory, in particular the Barriers Model to Help-Seeking (St Pierre & Senn, 2010), and previous research. The study highlighted the importance of a nuanced understanding of intimate partner violence in male same-sex relationships as well as the importance of the socio-political context, including discourses of anti-LGBTQ+ prejudice, heteronormativity and hegemonic masculinity, in the setting up of structural barriers to accessing support.

description: Controlling the self-assembly of surface-adsorbed molecules into nanostructures requires understanding physical mechanisms that act across multiple length and time scales. By combining scanning tunneling microscopy with hierarchical ab initio and statistical mechanical modeling of 1,4-substituted benzenediamine (BDA) molecules adsorbed on a gold (111) surface, we demonstrate that apparently simple nanostructures are selected by a subtle competition of thermodynamics and dynamics. Of the collection of possible BDA nanostructures mechanically stabilized by hydrogen bonding, the interplay of intermolecular forces, surface modulation, and assembly dynamics select at low temperature a particular subset: low free energy oriented linear chains of monomers, and high free energy branched chains.

description: Context: The first stars produced the first heavy elements and set the stage for the formation of the first galaxies. Accurate chemical abundances of ultra metal-poor stars ([Fe/H]<-4) can be used to infer properties of the first stars, and thus the formation mechanism for low-mass second generation stars in the early universe. Spectroscopic studies have shown that most second generation stars are carbon-enhanced with one notable exception SDSS J102915.14+172927.9. Aims: We reanalyse the composition of SDSS J102915.14+172927.9. Methods: We developed a tailored 3D model atmosphere for SDSS J102915.14+172927.9 with the Stagger-code, making use of an improved surface gravity estimate based on the Gaia DR3 parallax. This model was used as input in the radiative transfer code Balder to compute 3D non-LTE synthetic spectra. These spectra were then used to infer abundances for Mg, Si, Ca, Fe and Ni, and upper limits on Li, Na and Al. 3D LTE synthetic spectra were computed with Scate to infer the abundance of Ti and upper limits on C and N. Results: In contrast to earlier works based on 1D non-LTE corrections to 3D LTE results, we are able to achieve ionisation balance for Ca I and Ca II when employing our consistent 3D non-LTE treatment. Moreover, the elemental abundances are systematically higher than those found in earlier works. In particular, [Fe/H] increases by 0.57 dex, and the upper limits of C and N increase by 0.90 dex and 1.82 dex, respectively. Conclusions: We find that Population III progenitors with masses 10-20 M_sun exploding with energy E<=3*10^{51} erg can reproduce our 3D non-LTE abundance pattern. Contrary to previous work, we obtain higher upper limits on the carbon abundance that are ``marginally consistent'' with star formation through atomic line cooling, and as such, prevent strong conclusions about the formation mechanism of this low mass star.

description: The emergence of orbital resonances among planets is a natural consequence of the early dynamical evolution of planetary systems. While it is well-established that convergent migration is necessary for mean-motion commensurabilities to emerge, recent numerical experiments have shown that the existing adiabatic theory of resonant capture provides an incomplete description of the relevant physics, leading to an erroneous mass scaling in the regime of strong dissipation. In this work, we develop a new model for resonance capture that self-consistently accounts for migration and circularization of planetary orbits, and derive an analytic criterion based upon stability analysis that describes the conditions necessary for the formation of mean-motion resonances. We subsequently test our results against numerical simulations and find satisfactory agreement. Our results elucidate the critical role played by adiabaticity and resonant stability in shaping the orbital architectures of planetary systems during the nebular epoch, and provide a valuable tool for understanding their primordial dynamical evolution.

description: In a recent paper, Post and Winternitz studied the properties of two-dimensional Euclidean potentials that are linear in one of the two Cartesian variables. In particular, they proved the existence of a potential endowed with an integral of third-order and an integral of fourth-order. In this paper we show that these results can be obtained in a more simple and direct way by noting that this potential is directly related with the Holt potential. It is proved that the existence of a potential with higher order superintegrability is a direct consequence of the integrability of the family of Holt type potentials.

description: Cells are modeled with spherical grains connected each other. Each cell can shrink and swell by transporting its fluid content to other connected neighbor while still maintaining its density at constant value. As a spherical part of a cell swells it gains more pressure from its surrounding, while shrink state gains less pressure. Pressure difference between these two or more parts of cell will create motion force for the cell. For simplicity, cell is considered to have same density as its environment fluid and connections between parts of cell are virtually accommodated by a spring force. This model is also limited to 2-d case. Influence of parameters to cell motion will be presented. One grain cell shows no motion, while two and more grains cell can perform a motion.

description: Homogeneous polymer solutions are well-known to exhibit viscoelastic flow instabilities: purely elastic when inertia is negligible, inertio-elastic otherwise. Recently, shear-banding wormlike micelles solutions were also discovered to follow a similar phenomenology. In the shear-banding regime, inertia is usually negligible so only purely elastic flows have been reported. Here, we investigate a non-shear-banding solution where inertia becomes significant, leading to flow patterns akin to the inertio-elastic regime of dilute polymer solutions. We show that the instability follows a supercritical bifurcation and we investigate the structure of the inertio-elastic vortices that develop above onset.

description: Five dimensional Einstein gravity vacuum solutions in general fall into two classes of black rings with horizon topology S^2 \times S^1, and black holes with horizon topology S^3. These solutions are specified by their mass and two spins. There are "overlapping" regions of this parameter space where one has extremal rings and holes of the same spins. We show that for such regions the hole has generically a larger entropy than the ring, and likewise, the central charge of the proposed chiral 2d CFT dual to the hole is larger than that of the ring. For special places of this overlapping region where one of the spins tends to zero, the entropies of the extremal ring and hole also tend to zero and essentially become equal. In this case we are dealing with Extremal Vanishing Horizon (EVH) black holes or rings. The near horizon geometry of the near-EVH hole and rings both contain locally AdS_3 throats, providing a basis for the EVH/CFT proposal, a 2d CFT description of the low energy excitations of EVH hole or ring. We argue how the near-EVH hole and near-EVH ring can be distinguished from this dual 2d CFT viewpoint: The hole is a thermal state with zero temperature in the left sector and finite temperature in the right, while the ring is a generic state in the ground state (of the CFT on the plane) in the left sector and a thermal state in the right. The latter is part of the Hilbert space of the 2d CFT obtained in the Discrete Light Cone Quantization (DLCQ).

description: We report an ab initio study of the semiconducting Mg2X (with X = Si, Ge) compounds and in particular we analyze the formation energy of the different point defects with the aim to understand the intrinsic doping mechanisms. We find that the formation energy of Mg2Ge is 50 % larger than the one of Mg2Si, in agreement with the experimental tendency. From the study of the stability and the electronic properties of the most stable defects taking into account the growth conditions, we show that the main reason for the n-doping in these materials comes from interstitial magnesium defects. Conversely, since other defects acting like acceptors such as Mg vacancies or multivacancies are more stable in Mg2Ge than in Mg2Si, this explains why Mg2Ge can be of n or p type, contrary to Mg2Si. The finding that the most stable defects are different in Mg2Si and Mg2Ge and depend on the growth conditions is important and must be taken into account in the search of the optimal doping to improve the thermoelectric properties of these materials.

description: EuTe4 is a newly-discovered van der Waals material exhibiting a novel charge-density wave (CDW) with a large thermal hysteresis in the resistivity and CDW gap. In this work, we systematically study the electronic structure and transport properties of EuTe4 using high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), magnetoresistance measurements, and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We observe a CDW gap of about 200 meV at low temperatures that persists up to 400 K, suggesting that the CDW transition occurs at a much higher temperature. We observe a large thermal hysteretic behavior of the ARPES intensity near the Fermi level, consistent with the resistivity measurement. The hysteresis in the resistivity measurement does not change under a magnetic field up to 7 T, excluding the thermal magnetic hysteresis mechanism. Instead, the surface topography measured with STM shows surface domains with different CDW trimerization directions, which may be important for the thermal hysteretic behavior of EuTe4. Interestingly, we observe a large negative magnetoresistance at low temperatures that can be associated with the canting of magnetically ordered Eu spins. Our work shed light on the understanding of magnetic, transport, and electronic properties of EuTe4.

description: We discuss layout and performance of a high-resolution Stimulated Raman Loss spectrometer that has been newly developed for accurate studies of spectral lineshapes and line center frequencies of hydrogen isotopologues and in general of Raman active transitions. Thanks to the frequency comb calibration of the detuning between pump and Stokes lasers and to an active alignment of the two beams, the frequency accuracy is well below 100 kHz. Over the vertical axis the spectrometer benefits from shot-noise limited detection, signal enhancement via multipass cell, active flattening of the spectral baseline and measurement times of few seconds over spectral spans larger than 10 GHz. Under these conditions an efficient averaging of Raman spectra is possible over long measurement times with minimal distortion of spectral lineshapes. By changing the pump laser, transitions can be covered in a very broad frequency span, from 50 to 5000 $\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$, including both vibrational and rotational bands. The spectrometer has been developed for studies of fundamental and collisional physics of hydrogen isotopologues and has been recently applied to the metrology of the Q(1) 1-0 line of $\mathrm{H_2}$.

description: Magnetic reconnection in naturally occurring and laboratory settings often begins locally and elongates, or spreads, in the direction perpendicular to the plane of reconnection. Previous work has largely focused on current sheets with a uniform thickness, for which the predicted spreading speed for anti-parallel reconnection is the local speed of the current carriers. We derive a scaling theory of three-dimensional (3D) spreading of collisionless anti-parallel reconnection in a current sheet with its thickness varying in the out-of-plane direction, both for spreading from a thinner to thicker region and a thicker to thinner region. We derive an expression for calculating the time it takes for spreading to occur for a current sheet with a given profile of its thickness. A key result is that when reconnection spreads from a thinner to a thicker region, the spreading speed in the thicker region is slower than both the Alfvén speed and the speed of the local current carriers by a factor of the ratio of thin to thick current sheet thicknesses. This is important because magnetospheric and solar observations have previously measured the spreading speed to be slower than previously predicted, so the present mechanism might explain this feature. We confirm the theory via a parametric study using 3D two-fluid numerical simulations. We use the prediction to calculate the time scale for reconnection spreading in Earth's magnetotail during geomagnetic activity. The results are also potentially important for understanding reconnection spreading in solar flares and the dayside magnetopause of Earth and other planets.

description: Organic scintillators exhibit fast timing, high detection efficiency for fast neutrons and pulse shape discrimination (PSD) capability. PSD is essential in mixed radiation fields, where different types of radiation need to be detected and discriminated. In neutron measurements for nuclear security and non proliferation effective PSD is crucial, because a weak neutron signature needs to be detected in the presence of a strong gamma-ray background. The most commonly used deterministic PSD technique is charge integration (CI). This method requires the optimization of specific parameters to obtain the best gamma-neutron separation. These parameters depend on the scintillating material and light readout device and typically require a lengthy optimization process and a calibration reference measurement with a mixed source. In this paper, we propose a new method based on the scintillation fluorescence physics that enables to find the optimum PSD integration gates using only a gamma-ray emitter. We demonstrate our method using three organic scintillation detectors: deuterated trans-stilbene, small-molecule organic glass, and EJ-309. In all the investigated cases, our method allowed finding the optimum PSD CI parameters without the need of iterative optimization.

description: With the proliferation of the data warehouses as supportive decision making tools, organizations are increasingly looking forward for a complete data warehouse success model that would manage the enormous amounts of growing data. It is therefore important to measure the success of these massive projects. While general IS success models have received great deals of attention, few research has been conducted to assess the success of data warehouses for strategic business intelligence purposes. The framework developed in this study consists of the following nine measures: Vendors and Consultants, Management Actions, System Quality, Information Quality, Data Warehouse Usage, Perceived utility, Individual Decision Making Impact, Organizational Decision Making Impact, and Corporate Strategic Goals Attainment.

description: We measure inelastic collisional cross sections for the ground $^3$F$_2$ state and the excited $^3$P$_0$ state of atomic thorium in cold collisions with $^3$He. We determine for Th ($^3$F$_2$) at 800 mK the ratio $γ\approx 500$ of the momentum-transfer to Zeeman relaxation cross sections for collisions with $^3$He. For Th ($^3$P$_0$), we study electronic inelastic processes and find no quenching even after $10^6$ collisions. We also determine the radiative lifetime of Th ($^3$P$_0$) to be $τ> 130$ ms. This great stability of the metastable state opens up the possibility for further study, including trapping.

Electromagnetic radiation reaction and energy extraction from black holes: The tail term cannot be ignored

description: We study electromagnetic radiation reaction in curved space and the dynamics of radiating charged particles. The equation of motion for such particles is the DeWitt-Brehme equation, and it contains a particularly complicated, non-local, tail term. It has been claimed that the tail term can be neglected in certain magnetized black hole spacetimes, and that radiation reaction may then lead to energy extraction ("orbital widening") in the absence of an ergoregion. We show that such claims are incorrect, at least in the Newtonian limit: the tail term can never be neglected consistently in the relevant scenarios, and when it is included the reported energy extraction no longer occurs. Thus, previous results are called into question by our work.

description: In the transition from resource-based to knowledge-based economies in the Persian Gulf, transnational higher education institutions, including international branch campuses, play a vital role in expanding educational opportunities. This case study focuses on a university established by a New Zealand consortium in the region. Originally aiming to blend Arab-Islamic and Western principles, the study uncovers a shift towards a curriculum shaped by a perceived 'secular' and 'universal' worldview. By examining the decision-making process of expatriate educators in selecting and justifying course content, the research highlights the importance of understanding cultural contexts and critically evaluating assumptions in the design of international curricula
Optimizing the search for transiting planets in long time series

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Context: Transit surveys, both ground- and space- based, have already accumulated a large number of light curves that span several years. Aims: The search for transiting planets in these long time series is computationally intensive. We wish to optimize the search for both detection and computational efficiencies. Methods: We assume that the searched systems can be well described by Keplerian orbits. We then propagate the effects of different system parameters to the detection parameters. Results: We show that the frequency information content of the light curve is primarily determined by the duty cycle of the transit signal, and thus the optimal frequency sampling is found to be cubic and not linear. Further optimization is achieved by considering duty-cycle dependent binning of the phased light curve. By using the (standard) BLS one is either rather insensitive to long-period planets, or less sensitive to short-period planets and computationally slower by a significant factor of ~330 (for a 3yr long dataset). We also show how the physical system parameters, such as the host star's size and mass, directly affect transit detection. This understanding can then be used to optimize the search for every star individually. Conclusions: By considering Keplerian dynamics explicitly rather than implicitly one can optimally search the BLS parameter space. The presented Optimal BLS enhances the detectability of both very short and very long period planets while allowing such searches to be done with much reduced resources and time. The Matlab/Octave source code for Optimal BLS is made available.

Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: HEPData
Year: 2016

description: Text version of figure 11b, expected lower bound on excluded mass range vs BR.
description: CERN-LHC. Results from a search is presented for pair production of a new heavy quark ($Q$) that decays into a $W$ boson and a light quark ($q$) in the final state where one $W$ boson decays leptonically (to an electron or muon plus a neutrino) and the other $W$ boson decays hadronically. The analysis is performed using an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 8$ TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC. No evidence of $Q\bar{Q}$ production is observed. New chiral quarks with masses below 690 GeV are excluded at 95% confidence level, assuming BR$(Q\to Wq)=1$. Results are also interpreted in the context of vectorlike quark models, resulting in the limits on the mass of a vectorlike quark in the two-dimensional plane of BR$(Q\to Wq)$ versus BR$(Q\to Hq)$ The main selection requirements for this analysis were: - exactly one isolated lepton with pT(lep) > 25 GeV - missing transverse momentum ETmiss > 30 GeV - "transverse" W mass + ETmiss > 60 GeV - at least four jets with pT(jet) > 25 GeV - zero b-jets - a leptonic W candidate consisting of the lepton+ETmiss system with pT > 125 GeV - a hadronic W candidate consisting of a dijet system with pT > 200 GeV, 65 GeV < mass 100 GeV, and deltaR < 1.0 between the two jets. - two reconstructed heavy quarks (W+1jet systems) with a mass difference less than 120 GeV - At least two jets (not used for the hadronic W) with pT > 120 GeV. - At least one jet (not used for the hadronic W) with pT > 160 GeV. - Scalar sum of |pT| from hadronic W, leptonic W, and two highest pT jets not used for hadronic W must be > 1.1 TeV - Angular cuts between reconstructed objects (see details in paper).

description: The nature of Type Ia supernovae remains controversial. The youngest remnants of Ia supernovae hold clues to the explosion and to the immediate surroundings. We present a third epoch of Chandra observations of the $\sim600$-year-old Type Ia remnant 0519-69.0 in the Large Magellanic Cloud, extending the time baseline to 21 years from the initial 2000 observations. We find rapid expansion of X-ray emitting material, with an average velocity of 4760 km s$^{-1}$. At the distance of the LMC this corresponds to an undecelerated age of 750 years, with the true age somewhat smaller. We also find that the bright ring of emission has expanded by 1.3\%, corresponding to a velocity of 1900 km s$^{-1}$ and an undecelerated age of 1600 years. The high velocity of the peripheral X-rays, contrasted with the modest expansion of the main X-ray shell, provides further evidence for a massive shell of circumstellar material.
