description: We present results from the first multi-epoch X-ray/IR fast-photometry campaign on the black-hole transient GX 339--4, during its 2015 outburst decay. We studied the evolution of the power spectral densities finding strong differences between the two bands. The X-ray power spectral density follows standard patterns of evolution, plausibly reflecting changes in the accretion flow. The IR power spectral density instead evolves very slowly, with a high-frequency break consistent with remaining constant at $0.63 \pm 0.03$ Hz throughout the campaign. We discuss this result in the context of the currently available models for the IR emission in black-hole transients. While all models will need to be tested quantitatively against this unexpected constraint, we show that an IR emitting relativistic jet which filters out the short-timescales fluctuations injected from the accretion inflow appears as the most plausible scenario.

ABSTRACT   SANTOS, Roberto Carlos dos. RecPy: precompiler for studying the conversion of recursive functions. 2021. 124 pgs. Monography in Course Conclusion Paper - Bachelor of Computer Science - Institute of Mathematics and Statistics, State University of Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 2021. This work treats the basic concepts related to recursive functions. It describes the situations in which the conversion, among itself, between caudal recursive algorithms, non-caudal recursives and iteratives may be usefull or necessary in respect to the legibility or the efficience of the related codes. It presents the application RecPy, a pre-compiler made for the automatization of these convertions, for the reconizable recursive function’s types. It includes practical examples of convertions executed in the applicative, beyond graphical results obtained. Keywords: Recursion. Caudal recursion. Tail recursion. Recursive function. Iterative. Elimination of recursion. Recursion optimization. Conversion from recursion. Pre-compiler. Efficient algorithms. Concise codes. RecPy.

description: We present an analytic study of the three-urn model for separation of sand. We solve analytically the master equation and the first-passage problem. We find that the stationary probability distribution obeys the detailed balance and is governed by the {\it free energy}. We find that the characteristic lifetime of a cluster diverges algebraically with exponent 1/3 at the limit of stability.

description: We prove a product formula which involves the unitary group generated by a semibounded self-adjoint operator and an orthogonal projection $P$ on a separable Hilbert space $\HH$, with the convergence in $L^2_\mathrm{loc}(\mathbb{R};\HH)$. It gives a partial answer to the question about existence of the limit which describes quantum Zeno dynamics in the subspace \hbox{$\mathrm{Ran} P$}. The convergence in $\HH$ is demonstrated in the case of a finite-dimensional $P$. The main result is illustrated in the example where the projection corresponds to a domain in $\mathbb{R}^d$ and the unitary group is the free Schrödinger evolution.

description: The aim of our study was to analyse the short-term prognostic value of different biomarkers in patients with COVID-19. We included patients admitted to emergency department with COVID-19 and available concentrations of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Patients were classified for each biomarker into two groups (low vs. high concentrations) according to their best cut-off point, and 30-day all-cause death was evaluated. After multivariate adjustment, cTnI ≥21 ng/L, D-dimer ≥1112 ng/mL, CRP ≥10 mg/dL and LDH ≥334 U/L at admission were associated with an increased risk of 30-day all-cause death (hazard ratio (HR) 4.30; 95% CI 1.74–10.58; p = 0.002; HR 3.35; 95% CI 1.58–7.13; p = 0.002; HR 2.25; 95% CI 1.13–4.50; p = 0.021; HR 2.00; 95% CI 1.04–3.84; p = 0.039, respectively). The area under the curve for cTnI was 0.825 (95% CI 0.759–0.892) and, in comparison, was significantly better than CRP (0.685; 95% CI 0.600–0.770; p = 0.009) and LDH (0.643; 95% CI 0.534–0.753; p = 0.006) but non-significantly better than D-dimer (0.756; 95% CI 0.674–0.837; p = 0.115). In patients with COVID-19, increased concentrations of cTnI, D-dimer, CRP and LDH are associated with short-term mortality. Of these, cTnI provides better mortality risk prediction. However, differences with D-dimer were non-significant.
title: The Development of an Enterprise Supply Chain Model for Naval Warship Construction

description: The utilization of computer simulation in the shipbuilding industry is not a new concept and many shipyards in the US and around the world are using simulation tools in a variety of ways with various levels of success. In other industries, computer simulation has proven itself as a powerful tool for reducing non-value added activities and promises to become more prominent in its use as a resource management tool. Its use in the manufacturing of outfitting components in the construction of Naval warships has had limited success due mainly to the inherent nature of ship construction, especially shipyards engaged in Naval warship construction. The focus of this thesis is directed towards the development of an Enterprise Supply Chain Model for the manufacture of outfitting components within a naval shipbuilding environment. A phased approach including model linking strategies are presented. Two of the initial simulation models developed are utilized as a discussion platform.

description: In the well known Thom's classification, every classical catastrophe is assigned a Lyapunov function. In the one-dimensional case, due to V. I. Arnold, these functions have polynomial form $V_{(k)}(x)= x^{k+1} + c_1x^{k-1} + \ldots$. A natural question is which features of the theory survive when such a function (say, with an even value of asymptotically dominant exponent $k+1$) is used as a confining potential in Schrödinger equation. A few answers are formulated. Firstly, it is clarified that due to the tunneling, one of the possible classes of the measurable quantum catastrophes may be sought in a phenomenon of relocalization of the dominant part of the quantum particle density between different minima. For the sake of definiteness we just consider the spatially even Arnold's potentials and in the limit of the thick barriers and deep valleys we arrive at a systematic classification of the corresponding relocalization catastrophes.

description: Telomere length can be a biomarker of cumulative oxidative stress and inflammation indicating biological aging. Previous studies examined association of nutrient intake with telomere length targeting middle-aged and elderly individuals. This study examined whether dietary macro- and micronutrient intake was associated with telomere length in young females. Seventy-four Japanese young females (median (interquartile range) age was 19 (19 − 20) years) participated. We estimated their intake of nutrients (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, essential elements, vitamins, fatty acids, and dietary fibre) using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and measured telomere length (T/S ratio, the ratio of telomere repeat copy number (T) to single-copy gene number (S)) of DNA extracted from blood by qPCR. The association between telomere length and tertiles of nutrient intake were analysed. The median (interquartile range) of telomere length was 0.70 (0.52 − 0.98). Vitamin A intake was positively associated with telomere length (tertile 1 vs. 2, coefficient [95% confidence interval] = 0.42 [0.12, 0.71]; tertile 1 vs. 3, coefficient [95% confidence interval] = 0.33 [0.04, 0.62]) after adjusting for covariates (age, BMI, passive smoking, and drinking). Our findings suggest that variation in vitamin A intake might influence telomere attrition in healthy individuals.

title: To Pot or Not to Pot: Understanding Technological Investment in Ceramics and Marine Mammal Oil Rendering in Kodiak, Alaska
Creators: name: Groat, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: Why do groups choose to use certain technologies, but not others? This study focuses on an especially confusing instance of this question: the adoption of pottery in Kodiak, Alaska. This event was strange for two reasons. First, by AD 1500, when Alutiiq ancestors in the Kodiak Archipelago began making pottery, their neighbors on the mainland had already been doing it for centuries—so why did they wait so long? Second, pottery is also only found in the south of the islands—so why did some people use it, but not others? Whale and seal are more abundant in southern Kodiak, so one potential explanation is that the pottery was made because southern villages were starting to render larger amounts of marine mammal oil. I reconstructed the pottery of Kodiak to try to understand whether this hypothesis makes sense. Are Alutiiq pots actually a better way to mass-produce marine mammal oil than other traditional rendering methods? What conditions should favor the use of pottery? This study lays out what I've learned about Kodiak pottery and what this tells us about what was going on in the region, as well as the implications for our understanding of pottery use in general.

description: The significant increase of periodontitis, chronic kidney disease (CKD), Alzheimer’s disease and cancer can be attributed to an ageing population. Each disease produces a range of biomarkers that can be indicative of disease onset and progression. Biomarkers are defined as cellular (intra/extracellular components and whole cells), biochemical (metabolites, ions and toxins) or molecular (nucleic acids, proteins and lipids) alterations which are measurable in biological media such as human tissues, cells or fluids. An interesting group of biomarkers that merit further investigation are the polyamines. The polyamines are a group of molecules consisting of cadaverine, putrescine, spermine and spermidine and these have been implicated in the development of a range of systemic disease, in part due to their production in periodontitis. Cadaverine and putrescine within the periodontal environment have demonstrated cell signalling interfering abilities, by way of leukocyte migration disruption. The polyamines spermine and spermidine in tumour cells have been shown to inhibit cellular apoptosis, effectively prolonging tumorigenesis and continuation of cancer within the host. Polyamine degradation products such as acrolein have been shown to exacerbate renal damage in CKD patients. Thus, the use of such molecules has merit to be utilised in the early indication of such diseases in patients.

description: Fractionalized quasiparticles - anyons - bear a special role in present-day physics. At the same time, they display properties of interest both foundational, with quantum numbers that transcend the spin-statistics laws, and applied, providing a cornerstone for decoherence-free quantum computation. The development of platforms for realization and manipulation of these objects, however, remains a challenge. Typically these entail the zero-temperature ground-state of incompressible, gapped fluids. Here, we establish a strikingly different approach: the development and probing of anyon physics in a gapless fluid. The platform of choice is a chiral, multichannel, multi-impurity realization of the Kondo effect. We discuss how, in the proper limit, anyons appear at magnetic impurities, protected by an asymptotic decoupling from the fluid and by the emerging Kondo length scale. We discuss possible experimental realization schemes using integer quantum Hall edges. The gapless and charged degrees of freedom coexistent with the anyons suggest the possibility of extracting quantum information data by transport and simple correlation functions. To show that this is the case, we generalize the fusion ansatz of Cardy's boundary conformal field theory, now in the presence of multiple localized perturbations. The generalized fusion ansatz captures the idea that multiple impurities share quantum information non-locally, in a way formally identical to anyonic zero modes. We display several examples supporting and illustrating this generalization and the extraction of quantum information data out of two-point correlation functions. With the recent advances in mesoscopic realizations of multichannel Kondo devices, our results imply that exotic anyon physics may be closer to reach than presently imagined.

description: Polarization properties of high energy photodisintegration of the deuteron are studied within the framework of the hard rescattering mechanism~(HRM). In HRM, a quark of one nucleon knocked-out by the incoming photon rescatters with a quark of the other nucleon leading to the production of two nucleons with high relative momentum. Summation of all relevant quark rescattering amplitudes allows us to express the scattering amplitude of the reaction through the convolution of a hard photon-quark interaction vertex, the large angle p-n scattering amplitude and the low momentum deuteron wave function. Within HRM, it is demonstrated that the polarization observables in hard photodisintegration of the deuteron can be expressed through the five helicity amplitudes of NN scattering at high momentum transfer. At 90$^\circ$ CM scattering HRM predicts the dominance of the isovector channel of hard $pn$ rescattering, and it explains the observed smallness of induced, $P_y$ and transfered, $C_x$ polarizations without invoking the argument of helicity conservation. Namely, HRM predicts that $P_y$ and $C_x$ are proportional to the $ϕ_5$ helicity amplitude which vanishes at $θ_{cm}=90^\circ$ due to symmetry reasons. HRM predicts also a nonzero value for $C_z$ in the helicity-conserving regime and a positive $Σ$ asymmetry which is related to the dominance of the isovector channel in the hard reinteraction. We extend our calculations to the region where large polarization effects are observed in $pp$ scattering as well as give predictions for angular dependences.

description: We present sensitive, high-resolution, X-ray imaging from Chandra of the high-redshift radio galaxy 4C 41.17 (z=3.8). Our 150-ks Chandra exposure detects strong X-ray emission from a point source coincident with the nucleus of the radio galaxy. In addition we identify extended X-ray emission with a luminosity ~1e45 erg/s covering a 100kpc (15'') diameter region around the radio galaxy. The extended X-ray emission follows the general distribution of radio emission in the radio lobes of this source, and the distribution of a giant Lyman-alpha emission line halo, while the spectrum of the X-ray emission is non-thermal and has a power law index consistent with that of the radio synchrotron. We conclude that the X-ray emission is most likely Inverse-Compton scattering of far-infrared photons from a relativistic electron population probably associated with past and current activity from the central object. Assuming an equipartition magnetic field the CMB energy density at z=3.8 can only account for at most 40% of the Inverse-Compton emission. Published submillimeter maps of 4C 41.17 have detected an apparently extended and extremely luminous far-infrared emission around the radio galaxy. We demonstrate that this photon component and its spatial distribution, in combination with the CMB can reproduce the observed X-ray luminosity. We propose that photo-ionization by these Inverse-Compton X-ray photons plays a significant role in this system, and provides a new physical feedback mechanism to preferentially affect the gas within the most massive halos at high redshift. This is the highest redshift example of extended X-ray emission around a radio galaxy currently known. (Abridged)

description: The high demand for petroleum oil has led to hydrocarbon contamination in soil, including agricultural lands, and many other ecosystems across the globe. Physical and chemical treatments are effective strategies for the removal of high contamination levels and are useful for small areas, although with concerns of cost-effectiveness. Alternatively, several bacteria belonging to the Phylum: Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, Nocardioides, or Firmicutes are used for biodegradation of different hydrocarbons – aliphatic, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and asphaltenes in the oil-contaminated soil. The rhizoremediation strategy with plant-microbe interactions has prospects to achieve the desired result in the field conditions. However, adequate biostimulation, and bioaugmentation with the suitable plant-microbe combination, and efficiency under a toxic environment needs to be evaluated. Modifying the microbiomes to achieve better biodegradation of contaminants is an upcoming strategy popularly known as microbiome engineering. In this review, rhizoremediation for the successful removal of the hydrocarbons have been critically discussed, with challenges for making it a feasible technology.HIGHLIGHTSPetroleum hydrocarbon contamination has increased around the globe.Rhizoremediation has the potential for the mitigation of pollutants from the contaminated sites.An accurate and detailed analysis of the physio-chemical and climatic conditions of the contaminated sites must be focused on.The suitable plant and bacteria, with other major considerations, may be employed for in-situ remediation.The appropriate data should be obtained using the omics approach to help toward the success of the rhizoremediation strategy.

We introduce non-Hermitian polarization vector to explore topological phase and show that topological edge states in the band gap exist in the system.

description: We propose a coarse-grained picture to analyze control problems for quantum chaos systems. Using optimal control theory, we first show that almost perfect control is achieved for random matrix systems and a quantum kicked rotor. Second, under the assumption that the controlled dynamics is well described by a Rabi-type oscillaion between unperturbed states, we derive an analytic expression for the optimal field. Finally we numerically confirm that the analytic field can steer an initial state to a target state in random matrix systems.

description: Telomere length can be a biomarker of cumulative oxidative stress and inflammation indicating biological aging. Previous studies examined association of nutrient intake with telomere length targeting middle-aged and elderly individuals. This study examined whether dietary macro- and micronutrient intake was associated with telomere length in young females. Seventy-four Japanese young females (median (interquartile range) age was 19 (19 – 20) years) participated. We estimated their intake of nutrients (energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, essential elements, vitamins, fatty acids, and dietary fiber) using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and measured telomere length (T/S ratio, the ratio of telomere repeat copy number (T) to single-copy gene number (S)) of DNA extracted from blood by qPCR. The association between telomere length and tertiles of nutrient intake were analysed. The median (interquartile range) of telomere length was 0.70 (0.52 – 0.98). Vitamin A intake was positively associated with telomere length (tertile 1 vs. 2, coefficient [95% confidence interval] = 0.42 [0.12, 0.71]; tertile 1 vs. 3, coefficient [95% confidence interval] = 0.33 [0.04, 0.62]) after adjusting for covariates (age, BMI, passive smoking, and drinking). Our findings suggest that variation in vitamin A intake might influence telomere attrition in healthy individuals.

description: The star Kepler-1625 recently attracted considerable attention when an analysis of the stellar photometric time series from the Kepler mission was interpreted as showing evidence of a large exomoon around the transiting Jupiter-sized planet candidate Kepler-1625b. We aim to detect the radial velocity (RV) signal imposed by Kepler-1625b (and its putative moon) on the host star or, as the case may be, determine an upper limit on the mass of the transiting object. We took a total of 22 spectra of Kepler-1625 using CARMENES, 20 of which were useful. Observations were spread over a total of seven nights between October 2017 and October 2018, covering $125\%$ of one full orbit of Kepler-1625b. We used the automatic Spectral Radial Velocity Analyser (SERVAL) pipeline to deduce the stellar RVs and uncertainties. Then we fitted the RV curve model of a single planet on a Keplerian orbit to the observed RVs using a $χ^2$ minimisation procedure. We derive upper limits on the mass of Kepler-1625b under the assumption of a single planet on a circular orbit. In this scenario, the $1\,σ$, $2\,σ$, and $3\,σ$ confidence upper limits for the mass of Kepler-1625b are $2.90\,M_{\rm J}$, $7.15\,M_{\rm J}$, and $11.60\,M_{\rm J}$, respectively. We present strong evidence for the planetary nature of Kepler-1625b, making it the 10th most long-period confirmed planet known today. Our data does not answer the question about a second, possibly more short-period planet that could be responsible for the observed transit timing variation of Kepler-1625b.

description: We extend to lower metallicities recent evolutionary computations devoted to Magellanic Clouds stars, presenting and discussing new stellar models with Z=0.0002, 0.0004, 0.0006, 0.001 and suitable assumptions about the original He content. As in the previous paper, evolutionary results are compared with observational data to properly calibrate the assumptions about the efficiency of the surface convection. On this basis, we follow the evolution of stellar models in the mass range 0.6 to 11Mo from the Main Sequence (MS) to the C ignition or the onset of thermal pulses in the advanced Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) phase, presenting cluster isochrones covering the range of ages from 20 Myr to 20 Gyr. Selected predictions constraining the cluster ages are discussed, presenting a calibration of the difference in magnitude between the luminous MS termination and the He burning giants in terms of the cluster age. Both evolutionary tracks and isochrones are available at the URL http://astro.df.unipi.it/SAA/PEL/Z0.html. Data files are also available at the CDS.

description: The aim of our study was to analyse the short-term prognostic value of different biomarkers in patients with COVID-19. We included patients admitted to emergency department with COVID-19 and available concentrations of cardiac troponin I (cTnI), D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). Patients were classified for each biomarker into two groups (low vs. high concentrations) according to their best cut-off point, and 30-day all-cause death was evaluated. After multivariate adjustment, cTnI ≥21ng/L, D-dimer ≥1112ng/mL, CRP ≥10mg/dL and LDH ≥334U/L at admission were associated with an increased risk of 30-day all-cause death. (hazard ratio [HR] 4.30 95% CI 1.74–10.58 p = 0.002; HR 3.35 95% CI 1.58–7.13 p = 0.002; HR 2.25 95% CI 1.13–4.50 p = 0.021; HR 2.00 95% CI 1.04–3.84 p = 0.039, respectively). The area under the curve for cTnI was 0.825 (95% CI 0.759–0.892) and, in comparison, was significantly better than CRP (0.685; 95% CI 0.600–0.770; p = 0.009) and LDH (0.643; 95% CI 0.534–0.753; p = 0.006) but non-significantly better than D-dimer (0.756; 95% CI 0.674–0.837; p = 0.115). In patients with COVID-19, increased concentrations of cTnI, D-dimer, CRP and LDH are associated with short-term mortality. Of these, cTnI provides better mortality risk prediction. However, differences with D-dimer were non-significant.

description: We present new observations of two z=0.12 strong-lensing elliptical galaxies, originally discovered from the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey, using the new FOCAS IFU spectrograph on the Subaru Telescope. For J1436+4943, our observations confirm the identification of this system as a multiple-image lens, in a cusp configuration, with Einstein radius $θ_{Ein}$=2.0 arcsec. For J1701+3722, the improved data confirm earlier hints of a complex source plane, with different configurations evident in different emission lines. The new observations reveal a previously unseen inner counter-image to the [OIII] arc found from MaNGA, leading to a smaller revised Einstein radius of $θ_{Ein}$=1.6 arcsec. The inferred projected masses within the Einstein apertures (3.7-4.7kpc) are consistent with being dominated by stars with an initial mass function (IMF) similar to that of the Milky Way, and a dark matter contribution of ~35 per cent as supported from cosmological simulations. These results are consistent with `pure lensing' analyses of lower-redshift lenses, but contrast with claims for heavier IMFs from combined lensing-and-dynamical studies of more distant early-type galaxies.

description: Construction workers are exposed to a mixture of substances in the workplace considered carcinogenic. This study aimed to characterise gene-specific changes in DNA methylation over the workweek in this population as this type of environmental exposure has not been studied extensively. We evaluated their DNA methylation in 4 gene-promoter regions (CDKN2A, RASSF1A, MLH1 and APC) and 2 repeat elements (ALU and LINE-1) in blood samples obtained on the first and fifth day of the same workweek of a group of 39 male construction workers. DNA methylation was measured by bisulphite-PCR-Pyrosequencing. We also measured the levels of trace elements in the whole blood by ICP-MS. Only the CDKN2A gene had significant differences in the average methylation level between the first and fifth day of the workweek. We also observed that the levels of Cu, Pb, Se, Mn, and Ti decreased during the fifth day of exposure, and only lead, titanium and copper showed a low significant correlation with the methylation level mean for three specific CpG sites of the CDKN2A. In summary, the data suggest that altered levels of CDKN2A methylation in construction workers may be a potential biomarker of recent exposure in this environment.

description: Quantum computers are becoming more mainstream. As more programmers are starting to look at writing quantum programs, they face an inevitable task of debugging their code. How should the programs for quantum computers be debugged? In this paper, we discuss existing debugging tactics, used in developing programs for classic computers, and show which ones can be readily adopted. We also highlight quantum-computer-specific debugging issues and list novel techniques that are needed to address these issues. The practitioners can readily apply some of these tactics to their process of writing quantum programs, while researchers can learn about opportunities for future work.
