description: We present deep V,I photometry of two $9.4' x 9.4' field in the outer regions of the M33 galaxy. We obtain a robust detection of the luminosity of the Red Giant Branch Tip (I{TRGB}=20.72 +- 0.08) from which we derived a new estimate of the distance modulus of M33, (m-M)_0=24.64 +- 0.15, corresponding to a distance D=847 +- 60 Kpc. By comparison of the color and magnitude of the observed Red Giant Branch stars with ridge lines of template globular clusters we obtained the photometric metallicity distribution of the considered fields in three different metallicity scales. The derived metallicity distributions are very similar over a range of distances from the galactic center 10' <= R <= 33', and are characterized by a well defined peak at [M/H] ~ -0.7 ([Fe/H] ~ -1.0, in the Zinn & West scale) and a weak metal-poor tail reaching [M/H] ~ -2.0. Our observations demonstrate that Red Giant Branch and Asymptotic Giant Branch stars have a radial distribution that is much more extended than the young MS stars associated with the star-forming disc.

description: Some recent evidence for the existence of dynamic, metallic stripes in the 214-family of cuprates is reviewed. The mechanism of stripe pinning is considered, and changes in the charge density within stripes between the pinned and dynamic phases is discussed. From a purely experimental perspective, dynamic charge stripes are fully compatible with nodal ``quasiparticles'' and other electronic properties common to all superconducting cuprates.

description: O Sistema Brasileiro de Identificação e Certificação de Origem Bovina e Bubalina, o SISBOV, completou no início de 2006 quatro anos de existência. Criado principalmente como uma resposta às exigências européias, o SISBOV já passou por uma série de ajustes e modificações em sua estrutura de funcionamento. A partir da análise de estudos de caso envolvendo bovinocultores de corte e leite, bubalinocultores, frigoríficos e empresas de comércio varejista, o presente trabalho tece um panorama sobre a implementação da rastreabilidade na produção brasileira de bovinos, verificando, por exemplo, que o sistema ainda apresenta problemas, sendo pouco adotado por médios e pequenos produtores, principalmente da atividade leiteira. O resultado da pesquisa ressalta ainda que a rastreabilidade e a certificação de origem são usadas com pelo menos cinco propósitos diferentes : como requisitos à exportação, como ferramentas para melhoria da qualidade do produto, como estratégias de diferenciação do produto, como instrumentos para a gestão dos rebanhos ou ainda como suporte à coordenação da cadeia produtiva.

description: Coronal astronomy is by now a fairly mature discipline, with a quarter century having gone by since the detection of the first stellar X-ray coronal source (Capella), and having benefitted from a series of major orbiting observing facilities. Several observational characteristics of coronal X-ray and EUV emission have been solidly established through extensive observations, and are by now common, almost text-book, knowledge. At the same time the implications of coronal astronomy for broader astrophysical questions (e.g. Galactic structure, stellar formation, stellar structure, etc.) have become appreciated. The interpretation of stellar coronal properties is however still often open to debate, and will need qualitatively new observational data to book further progress. In the present review we try to recapitulate our view on the status of the field at the beginning of a new era, in which the high sensitivity and the high spectral resolution provided by Chandra and XMM-Newton will address new questions which were not accessible before.

description: Traditional online map tiles, widely used on the Internet such as Google Map and Baidu Map, are rendered from vector data. Timely updating online map tiles from vector data, of which the generating is time-consuming, is a difficult mission. It is a shortcut to generate map tiles in time from remote sensing images, which can be acquired timely without vector data. However, this mission used to be challenging or even impossible. Inspired by image-to-image translation (img2img) techniques based on generative adversarial networks (GAN), we proposed a semi-supervised Generation of styled map Tiles based on Generative Adversarial Network (SMAPGAN) model to generate styled map tiles directly from remote sensing images. In this model, we designed a semi-supervised learning strategy to pre-train SMAPGAN on rich unpaired samples and fine-tune it on limited paired samples in reality. We also designed image gradient L1 loss and image gradient structure loss to generate a styled map tile with global topological relationships and detailed edge curves of objects, which are important in cartography. Moreover, we proposed edge structural similarity index (ESSI) as a metric to evaluate the quality of topological consistency between generated map tiles and ground truths. Experimental results present that SMAPGAN outperforms state-of-the-art (SOTA) works according to mean squared error, structural similarity index, and ESSI. Also, SMAPGAN won more approval than SOTA in the human perceptual test on the visual realism of cartography. Our work shows that SMAPGAN is potentially a new paradigm to produce styled map tiles. Our implementation of the SMAPGAN is available at https://github.com/imcsq/SMAPGAN.

Multi-mode CV-QKD with Non-Gaussian Operations

description: Non-Gaussian operations have been studied intensively in recent years due to their ability to increase the secret key rate for certain CV-QKD protocols. However, most previous studies on such protocols are carried out in a single-mode setting, even though in reality any quantum state contains multi-mode components in frequency space. In this work we investigate the use of non-Gaussian operations in a multi-mode CV-QKD system. Our main finding is that, contrary to single-mode CV-QKD systems, in generic multi-mode CV-QKD systems it is possible to use non-Gaussian operations to increase the optimized secret key rate. More specifically, we find that at losses of order 30dB, which represents a distance of order 160km and the effective maximum distance for CV-QKD, the key rate for multi-mode non-Gaussian operations can be orders of magnitude higher than single-mode operations. Our results are important for real-world CV-QKD systems especially those dependent on quantum error correction - a process that requires non-Gaussian effects.

The Nature of Damped Ly-alpha Absorbing Galaxies at z<=1--A Photometric Redshift Survey of Damped Ly-alpha Absorbers

description: We study the nature of damped Lya absorption (DLA) systems at z<=1 using a sample of 11 DLA galaxies, for which accurate redshift measurements are available. We demonstrate that the precision of photometric redshifts is sufficient for identifying DLA galaxies, because DLAs are rare and their intrinsically high column density implies a small impact parameter of the host galaxy to the QSO line of sight. We adopt this first large DLA galaxy sample to study the neutral gas cross section of intermediate-redshift galaxies and examine the optical properties of DLA galaxies at z<=1. The results of our study are: (1) the extent of neutral gas around intermediate-redshift galaxies scales with B-band luminosity as R/R_* = [L_B/L_{B_*}]^β with R_*=24-30 h^{-1} kpc and β= 0.26_{-0.06}^{+0.24} at N(HI)=10^{20} cm^{-2}; (2) the observed incidence of the DLAs versus the B-band luminosity of the DLA galaxies is consistent with models derived from adopting a known galaxy B-band luminosity function and the best-fit scaling relation of the neutral gas cross section at M_B - 5\log h <= -17; (3) comparison of the observed and predicted number density of DLAs supports that luminous galaxies can explain most of the DLAs found in QSO absorption line surveys and a large contribution of dwarfs (M_B - 5\log h >= -17) to the total neutral gas cross section is not necessary; (4) of the 11 DLAs studied, 45% are disk dominated, 22% are bulge dominated, 11% are irregular, and 22% are in galaxy groups, indicating that galaxies that give rise to the DLAs span a wide range of morphological types and arise in a variety of galaxy environment; (Abridged)

Dust Formation In Early Galaxies

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We investigate the sources and amount of dust in early galaxies. We discuss dust nucleation in stellar atmospheres using published extended atmosphere models, stellar evolution tracks and nucleation conditions and conclude that the (TPAGB) phase of intermediate mass stars is likely to be the most promising site for dust formation in stellar winds. The implications of chemical evolution models for high redshift galaxies are investigated and we show there is no difficulty in producing dusty galaxies at redshifts above 5 if supernovae are a dominant source of interstellar dust. If dust does not condense efficiently in SNe then significant dust masses can only be generated at by galaxies with a high star formation efficiency. We find the visual optical depth for individual star forming clouds can reach values greater than 1 at very low metallicity (1/100 solar) provided that the mass-radius exponent of molecular clouds is less than two. Most of the radiation from star formation will emerge at IR wavelengths in the early universe provided that dust is present. The (patchy) visual optical depth through a typical early galaxy will however, remain less than 1 on average until a metallicity of 1/10 solar is reached.

description: If the axino is the lightest superpartner and satisfies cosmological bounds, including a preferred range of the relic abundance of cold dark matter, then the usual stringent constraints on the parameter space of the CMSSM become greatly relaxed. The lightest superpartner of the usual CMSSM spectrum will appear to be stable in collider experiments but will not necessarily obey relic abundance constraints. It may be either neutral (lightest neutralino) or charged (typically a stau). With the axino as cold dark matter, large regions of the CMSSM, often corresponding to heavy superpartners, become allowed, depending on the axino mass and the reheating temperature.

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term outcome of moderate-to-high hyperopic refractive errors in childhood. We reviewed medical records from children diagnosed with hyperopia (≥3D) in the amblyogenic risk factors screening that is performed in a public hospital in Portugal. We included hyperopic children diagnosed between 2001 and 2011 with at least three available ophthalmologic evaluations (including one before the age of 3 years and one after a minimum period of 6 years after the first evaluation). Spherical equivalent (SE) was considered. In total, 78 eyes from 39 children met the inclusion criteria (49% male). Mean age at first and last evaluation was 1.8 ± 0.9 years and 10.6 ± 2.7 years, respectively. Median follow-up was 130 months (range 72–193). At baseline evaluation, the mean SE was 4.5 ± 1.4 diopters, 36% of children had a SE ≥5.0 diopters, 23% had partially accommodative esotropia, 26% had accommodative esotropia and 51% had no eye deviation. At the last evaluation, the mean SE was 4.6 ± 1.7diopters. During follow-up, four children developed unilateral amblyopia (one because of anisometropia, three because of anisometropia and strabismus). From these, three recovered with treatment. Until the age of 10 years, the number of children that presented with strabismus did not decrease. In our study, children with moderate to high hyperopia did not experience a significant reduction in the power of the refractive error. Although almost 50% of children had an initial deviation, only one had amblyopia at the end of follow-up. Implementing screening strategies for the early detection of this refractive error may prevent long-term vision morbidity in hyperopic children.

A produção do estado apresentou um crescimento superior a 6.000 % na última década, passando de 190 t. em 1991 para 8.132,4 t. em 2003, valor este inferior à produção de 11.365 t. comercializada no ano de 2000, conseqüência da redução de sementes de mariscos nos costões rochosos. Socialmente o cultivo de mariscos apresenta um importância inegável para as comunidades pesqueiras, entretanto economicamente são poucas as informações sobre esta atividade. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma avaliação econômica de 2 sistemas de produção, familiar e comercial. A base de dados foi obtida através de entrevistas com os maricultores do município de Penha/SC.Utilizou-se a estrutura do custo total de produção e determinaram-se os indicadores usuais de análise de investimento. Os resultados demonstram que os sistemas, familiar e comercial, apresentam uma capacidade estimada de produção de 30 e 90 toneladas, respectivamente foram viáveis economicamente. O sistema familiar apresentou uma TIR de 30 % e VPL de R$ 22.625,34, o sistema comercial apresentou uma TIR de 72 %; VPL de R$ 189.726,44. Tendo em vista que a produção estimada dos sistemas propostos e seus indicadores econômicos apresentam uma grande dependência do recrutamento regular de sementes de mexilhões nos sistemas de captação disponíveis, foram realizadas analises dos indicadores de econômicos sob diferentes condições de produção.

description: We present an atomic scale theory of lattice distortions using strain related variables and their constraint equations. Our approach connects constrained atomic length scale variations to continuum elasticity and describes elasticity at all length scales. We apply the general approach to a two-dimensional square lattice with a monatomic basis, and find the atomic scale elastic textures around a structural domain wall and a single defect, as exemplary textures. We clarify the microscopic origin of gradient terms, some of which are included phenomenologically in Landau-Ginzburg theory. The obtained elastic textures are used to investigate the effects of elasticity-driven lattice deformation on the nanoscale electronic structure in superconductor by solving the Bogliubov-de Gennes equations with the electronic degrees of freedom coupled to the lattice ones. It is shown that the order parameter is depressed in the regions where the lattice deformation takes place. The calculated local density of states suggests the electronic structure is strongly modulated as a response to the lattice deformation-- the elasticity propagates the electronic response over long distances. In particular, it is possible for the trapping of low-lying quasiparticle states around the defects. These predictions could be directly tested by STM experiments in superconducting materials.

description: Organized PSA testing for asymptomatic men aged 50–74 years will be implemented in Sweden to reduce opportunistic testing in groups who will not benefit. The aim of this study was to describe the opportunistic PSA testing patterns in a Swedish region before the implementation of organized PSA testing programs. We included all men in the Uppsala-Örebro health care region of Sweden who were PSA tested between 1 July 2012 and 30 June 2014. Information regarding previous PSA testing, prostate cancer diagnosis, socioeconomic situation, surgical procedures and prescribed medications were collected from population-wide registries to create the Uppsala–Örebro PSA cohort (UPSAC). The cohort was divided into repeat and single PSA testers. The background population used for comparison consisted of men 40 years or older, living in the Uppsala–Örebro region during this time period. Of the adult male population in the region, 18.1% had undergone PSA testing. Among men over 85 years old 21% where PSA tested. In our cohort, 62.1% were repeat PSA testers. Of men with a PSA level ≤1µg/l 53.8% had undergone repeat testing. Prostate cancer was found in 2.7% and 4.8% of the repeat and single testers, respectively. Every fifth man in the male background population was PSA tested. Repeated PSA testing was common despite low PSA values. As repeated PSA testing was common, especially among older men who will not be included in organized testing, special measures to change the testing patterns in this group may be required.

Para a construção desse artigo, consideramos que a reciprocidade foi e continua sendo uma dimensão importante de ser levada em consideração, principalmente nas áreas rurais, mesmo na atualidade, e que a configuração de redes locais – parentesco, amizade, compadrio, vizinhança, de trabalho, entre outras – a partir do estabelecimento de relações e vínculos sociais baseados no princípio da reciprocidade, pode ser interessante não apenas para uma compreensão mais abrangente da realidade rural atual, mas também para moldar ações e estratégias locais de desenvolvimento. O grande desafio, no entanto, parece ser como fazer com que as possibilidades trazidas a partir da abordagem conjunta de reciprocidade e de redes sociais possam permitir a junção de características de modelos de desenvolvimento endógenos e exógenos, possibilitando a utilização dos recursos locais como base das políticas de desenvolvimento.

On the Angular Correlation Function of SZ Clusters : Extracting cosmological information from a 2D catalog
Creators: name: Mei, S.

description: We discuss the angular correlation function of Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ)-detected galaxy clusters as a cosmological probe. As a projection of the real-space cluster correlation function, the angular function samples the underlying SZ catalog redshift distribution. It offers a way to study cosmology and cluster evolution directly with the two-dimensional catalog, even before extensive follow-up observations, thereby facilitating the immediate scientific return from SZ surveys. As a simple illustration of the information content of the angular function, we examine its dependence on the parameter pair Om_m, sigma_8 in flat cosmologies. We discuss sources of modeling uncertainty and consider application to the future Planck SZ catalog, showing how these two parameters and the normalization of the SZ flux-mass relation can be simultaneously found when the local X-ray cluster abundance constraint is included.

description: A importância da pecuária leiteira na agricultura familiar do município de Monções motivou a realização desta pesquisa com o objetivo de caracterizar e analisar esta atividade. A metodologia foi um levantamento primário de dados realizado junto a todos os produtores rurais do município de Monções. O instrumento de coleta de dados foi um questionário elaborado visando levantar as principais características dos produtores, de suas famílias e das propriedades. Como o objetivo central da pesquisa é estudar a agricultura familiar, após a tabulação e análise dos dados levantados por meio do questionário, realizou-se entrevista com todos os produtores familiares, visando investigar, com maior profundidade, a produção leiteira, a tecnologia utilizada, a quantidade de leite, os preços médios obtidos, as expectativas e as dificuldades destes produtores. Os resultados obtidos na pesquisa evidenciam aimportância da pecuária leiteira, que representa a maior fonte de renda para a agricultura familiar do município de Monções, indicando que ações mais específicas, direcionadas a estes pequenos produtores, poderão resultar em maior êxito nas políticas públicas e privadas de desenvolvimento local e regional.

description: The diverse methodologies and myriad orthogonal proposals for the best technosignatures to search for in SETI can make it difficult to develop an effective and balanced search strategy, especially from a funding perspective. Here I propose a framework to compare the relative advantages and disadvantages of various proposed technosignatures based on nine "axes of merit". This framework was first developed at the NASA Technosignatures Workshop in Houston in 2018 and published in that report. I give the definition and rationale behind the nine axes as well as the history of each axis in the SETI and technosignature literature. These axes are then applied to three example classes of technosignature searches as an illustration of their use. An open-source software tool is available to allow technosignature researchers to make their own version of the figure.

Weighted Laplacian and Its Theoretical Applications

description: In this paper, we develop a novel weighted Laplacian method, which is partially inspired by the theory of graph Laplacian, to study recent popular graph problems, such as multilevel graph partitioning and balanced minimum cut problem, in a more convenient manner. Since the weighted Laplacian strategy inherits the virtues of spectral methods, graph algorithms designed using weighted Laplacian will necessarily possess more robust theoretical guarantees for algorithmic performances, comparing with those existing algorithms that are heuristically proposed. In order to illustrate its powerful utility both in theory and in practice, we also present two effective applications of our weighted Laplacian method to multilevel graph partitioning and balanced minimum cut problem, respectively. By means of variational methods and theory of partial differential equations (PDEs), we have established the equivalence relations among the weighted cut problem, balanced minimum cut problem and the initial clustering problem that arises in the middle stage of graph partitioning algorithms under a multilevel structure. These equivalence relations can indeed provide solid theoretical support for algorithms based on our proposed weighted Laplacian strategy. Moreover, from the perspective of the application to the balanced minimum cut problem, weighted Laplacian can make it possible for research of numerical solutions of PDEs to be a powerful tool for the algorithmic study of graph problems. Experimental results also indicate that the algorithm embedded with our strategy indeed outperforms other existing graph algorithms, especially in terms of accuracy, thus verifying the efficacy of the proposed weighted Laplacian.
