description: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) provides an experimental setting to explore physical implementations of quantum information processing (QIP). Here we introduce the basic background for understanding applications of NMR to QIP and explain their current successes, limitations and potential. NMR spectroscopy is well known for its wealth of diverse coherent manipulations of spin dynamics. Ideas and instrumentation from liquid state NMR spectroscopy have been used to experiment with QIP. This approach has carried the field to a complexity of about 10 qubits, a small number for quantum computation but large enough for observing and better understanding the complexity of the quantum world. While liquid state NMR is the only present-day technology about to reach this number of qubits, further increases in complexity will require new methods. We sketch one direction leading towards a scalable quantum computer using spin 1/2 particles. The next step of which is a solid state NMR-based QIP capable of reaching 10-30 qubits.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The lanternfish Notoscopelus kroeyerii is widely distributed in the North Atlantic, being one of the most widespread lanternfish species inhabiting the mesopelagic community. The literature contains information on length distributions, feeding habits and some meristic characters from the Northeast (NEA) and the Northwest Atlantic (NWA). The aims of this study were to compare the N. kroeyerii from these wide areas on each side of the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR), and to test whether the samples within the NEA area, i.e. from the northern NEA (Norwegian and Faroese waters) and the southern NEA (Hatton Plateau and Porcupine Bank areas) have the same origin. The present study validates that N. kroeyerii from the NEA and NWA were significantly different. The N. kroeyerii from the NEA having fewer gillrakers (mean= 26.6) than those from the MAR (mean = 27.6) and NWA (mean= 28.5). It is concluded that the N. kroeyerii in Faroese and Norwegian waters are not different from N. kroeyerii from the Porcupine Bank and Hatton Plateau.

description: “Toute la langue, ajustée à la métrique, y recouvrant ses coupes vitales, s’évade,” says Stéphane Mallarmé, “avec les cris d’une orchestration.” T.S. Eliot devotes a famous essay to The Music of Poetry (Eliot 1942). Among poets, the fact that music is in poetry seems to be a commonplace analogy. The reader is therefore not surprised when Yves Bonnefoy (1923-2016), an original practitioner of the French verse, seems to be suggesting a “reaffirmation of the ‘musical’ element in writing” (tr. N.V.) in L’alliance de la poésie et de la musique (Bonnefoy 2007). Quotation marks, however, keep at bay what they quote, and express a doubt as to its nature.

description: We present near-infrared (1 to 2.5 micron) low-resolution spectroscopy of eleven ultracool dwarfs with spectral types ranging from M7 to L8. Combining our observations with data published previously by Leggett et al. (2001), we have measured equivalent widths for the strongest atomic features and constructed narrowband indices to gauge the strength of the strongest molecular features. Those measurements show that the behaviourr at near-infrared wavelengths is well correlated with spectral type, where the latter is defined from observations between 6300 and 10000 Angstroms. In particular, four indices designed to measure absorption in the wings of the 1.4 and 1.85 micron steam bands exhibit a linear, monotonic correlation with spectral type on the Kirkpatrick et al. (1999) system, allowing consistent calibration from both optical and near-infrared spectroscopy.

description: We present deep 3500$-$10000 $Å$ spectra of H II regions and planetary nebulae (PNe) in the starburst irregular galaxy NGC 4449, acquired with the Multi Object Double Spectrograph at the Large Binocular Telescope. Using the "direct" method, we derived the abundance of He, N, O, Ne, Ar, and S in six H II regions and in four PNe in NGC 4449. This is the first case of PNe studied in a starburst irregular outside the Local Group. Our H II region and PN sample extends over a galacto-centric distance range of $\approx$2 kpc and spans $\approx$0.2 dex in oxygen abundance, with average values of $12+\log(O/H)=8.37 \pm 0.05$ and $8.3 \pm 0.1$ for H II regions and PNe, respectively. PNe and H II regions exhibit similar oxygen abundances in the galacto-centric distance range of overlap, while PNe appear more than $\sim$1 dex enhanced in nitrogen with respect to H II regions. The latter result is the natural consequence of N being mostly synthesized in intermediate-mass stars and brought to the stellar surface during dredge-up episodes. On the other hand, the similarity in O abundance between H II regions and PNe suggests that NGC 4449' s interstellar medium has been poorly enriched in $α$ elements since the progenitors of the PNe were formed. Finally, our data reveal the presence of a negative oxygen gradient for both H II regions and PNe, whilst nitrogen does not exhibit any significant radial trend. We ascribe the (unexpected) nitrogen behaviour as due to local N enrichment by the conspicuous Wolf-Rayet population in NGC 4449.

Efficient eigenvalue determination for arbitrary Pauli products based on generalized spin-spin interactions

description: Effective spin-spin interactions between N+1 qubits enable the determination of the eigenvalue of an arbitrary Pauli product of dimension N with a constant, small number of multi-qubit gates that is independent of N and encodes the eigenvalue in the measurement basis states of an extra ancilla qubit. Such interactions are available whenever qubits can be coupled to a shared harmonic oscillator, a situation that can be realized in several physical qubit implementations. For example, suitable interactions have already been realized for up to 14 qubits in ion traps. It should be possible to implement stabilizer codes for quantum error correction with a constant number of multi-qubit gates, in contrast to typical constructions using a number of two-qubit gates that increases as a function of N. The special case of finding the parity of N qubits only requires a small number of operations that is independent of N. This compares favorably to algorithms for computing the parity on conventional machines, which implies a genuine quantum advantage.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Numerous authors have regarded the Pacific sardine (Sardinops caeruleus) at the Gulf of California as a population or stock distinct from those along the west coast, which ranges from southern Alaska to Bahia Magdalena. Some authors have supported this idea based on several diagnostic characteristics (growth rate, time of birth and recruitment, blood type, and number of vertebrae), though most authors believe the distinct populations are caused solely by the apparent isolation of the gulf by the peninsula and the existence of an oceanic front at its tip, which is assumed to prevent the passage of sardine schools. We have made a study of the frequency of the annual occurrence of Pacific sardine around the tip of the peninsula using catch records of live bait during the last warming regime (1980 -1997), a period during which a northward geographic shift in the position of the center of distribution and bulk of the biomass of Pacific sardine in the California Current system (Rodríguez-Sánchez et al. 2002) has been suggested. Such a shift could hypothetically increase the isolation of the sardine population inside the gulf. The primary purpose of this paper is to describe the sardine distribution around the tip of the peninsula, a region where the interchange or mixing of individuals from these two neighboring areas occurs. We discuss these events as related to the interannual variability of the sea surface temperature and the advection of the California Current during the same period.

description: The article aims to study the phenomenon of the offbeat (selected both as a formal motif and as a thematic motif ) from both a rhythmic and an existential point of view. In the modern age, we are witnessing the emergence of a reflexive awareness, not only of the facts of the mind, but also of the movement of the body and its accidentals. After having clarified, with Rousseau in support, the notion of offbeat (in its dual meaning of ‘sense’ and ‘direction’), we propose to examine the various manifestations of this process in literature, theater, and music. Among the musicians figure Wagner and Debussy; among the playwrights, Beckett; among the poets Baudelaire; among the novelists, Flaubert and Proust

description: Multiband systems, which possess a wide parameter space, allow to explore a variety of competing ground states. Bright examples are the Fe-based pnictides and chalcogenides, which demonstrate metallic, superconducting, and various magnetic phases. Here I discuss only one of the many interesting topics, namely, spin fluctuations in metallic multiband systems. I show how to calculate the effect of itinerant spin excitations on the electronic properties and formulate a theory of spin fluctuation-induced superconductivity. The superconducting state is unconventional and thus the system demonstrates unusual spin response with the spin resonance feature. I discuss its origin, consequences, and relation to experimental observations. Role of the spin-orbit coupling is specifically emphasized.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Sea surface temperature (SST) and salinity (SSS) in the spawning grounds of small pelagic fishes, Japanese sardine (Sardinops melanostictus), Japanese anchovy (Engraulis japonicus), and Pacific round herring (Etrumeus teres), were analyzed based on the long–term dataset of egg survey from 1947 to 2002. A total of 116,073 samples were obtained mainly by vertical tows of a long NORPAC net (45cm mouth diameter and 0.335 mm mesh size) from 150 m deep to the surface. Temperature–salinity plots of spawning grounds showed different characteristics among these species. Spawning grounds of sardine distributed from 10 to 25 °C in SST and the abundant egg distributions were observed mainly at 34.0 to 34.5 ppt in SSS. Sea surface temperature and salinity of anchovy ranged from 10 to over 30 °C and from 28.0 to 34.5 ppt, respectively. Temperature ranges of the spawning grounds of round herring were similar to those of anchovy. But round herring eggs were concentrated only in the narrow range of SSS from 33.5 to 34.5 ppt. Mean SST in the spawning grounds of sardine increased gradually from 1974 to 1988 and then decreased from 1993 to 1996, as spawning grounds disappeared on and outside the Kuroshio Current. Mean SSS in the spawning ground of anchovy decreased from 1976 to 1985, as their spawning activity increased in the coastal areas. The observed temporal and spatial shifts of the spawning grounds of small pelagic fish would be determined by population size and decadal climate change.
Influence of surfactants on the electrohydrodynamic stretching of water drops in oil

description: In this paper we present experimental and numerical studies of the electrohydrodynamic stretching of a sub-millimetre-sized salt water drop, immersed in oil with added non-ionic surfactant, and subjected to a suddenly applied electric field of magnitude approaching 1 kV/mm. By varying the drop size, electric field strength and surfactant concentration we cover the whole range of electric capillary numbers ($Ca_E$) from 0 up to the limit of drop disintegration. The results are compared with the analytical result by Taylor (1964) which predicts the asymptotic deformation as a function of $Ca_E$. We find that the addition of surfactant damps the transient oscillations and that the drops may be stretched slightly beyond the stability limit found by Taylor. We proceed to study the damping of the oscillations, and show that increasing the surfactant concentration has a dual effect of first increasing the damping at low concentrations, and then increasing the asymptotic deformation at higher concentrations. We explain this by comparing the Marangoni forces and the interfacial tension as the drops deform. Finally, we have observed in the experiments a significant hysteresis effect when drops in oil with large concentration of surfactant are subjected to repeated deformations with increasing electric field strengths. This effect is not attributable to the flow nor the interfacial surfactant transport.

description: LXeGRIT is a balloon-borne Compton telescope for MeV gamma-ray astrophysics, based on a liquid xenon time projection chamber (LXe-TPC) with charge and light readout. The first balloon flights in 1997 revealed limitations of the trigger electronics and the data acquisition (DAQ) system, leading to their upgrade. New electronics was developed to handle the xenon scintillation light trigger. The original processor module was replaced by a commercial VME processor. The telemetry rate was doubled to 2 x 500 kbps and onboard data storage on hard disks was implemented. Relying on a robust real-time operating system, the new DAQ software adopts an object oriented design to implement the diverse tasks of trigger handling, data selection, transmission, and storage, as well as DAQ control and monitor functions. The new systems performed well during two flights in Spring 1999 and Fall 2000. In the 2000 flight, the DAQ system was able to handle 300-350 triggers/s out of a total of about 650 Hz, including charged particles.

SED fitting

description: The star formation history (SFH) of a galaxy is a key ingredient in modeling its spectral energy distribution (SED). A flexible description of this quantity during SED fitting is therefore crucial in constraining dependent quantities like the stellar masses and star formation rates of individual galaxies. The Dense Basis method (Iyer et al. 2019) introduces a flexible, non-parametric description for galaxy SFHs based on the lookback times at which a galaxy assembles certain quantiles of its stellar mass. The method uses Gaussian Processes to create smooth SFHs that are independent of any functional form, with a flexible number of parameters that are adjusted on a galaxy-by-galaxy basis to extract the maximum possible amount of SFH information from the SEDs being fit. We present results from fitting a sample of nearly 50,000 galaxies at 0.5<z<3.0 in the five CANDELS fields, along with future prospects for correlating SFHs with ancillary observables like morphology and environment.
Poésie et musique chez Baudelaire et Verlaine

description: This article investigates the relationship between poetry and music using Baudelaire’s examination of Richard Wagner’s music as an example. Starting from the question of the ‘translatability’ of music into language, which Baudelaire himself poses on the basis of the Lohengrin prelude, the article fundamentally questions the possibility of an association between the two arts, arguing that such an association, if it does not want to remain purely metaphorical, seems possible at best in the area of a ‘contact zone’, in which the logical-semantic references recede into the background or assume a high degree of generality, while at the same time formal structures can be designed in such a way that the abstract statements are thereby ‘represented’. This is illustrated by the example of two poems by
Baudelaire (“La musique”) and Verlaine (from Romances sans paroles).

Spectral approximation properties of isogeometric analysis with variable continuity

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: We study the spectral approximation properties of isogeometric analysis with local continuity reduction of the basis. Such continuity reduction results in a reduction in the interconnection between the degrees of freedom of the mesh, which allows for large savings in computational requirements during the solution of the resulting linear system. The continuity reduction results in extra degrees of freedom that modify the approximation properties of the method. The convergence rate of such refined isogeometric analysis is equivalent to that of the maximum continuity basis. We show how the breaks in continuity and inhomogeneity of the basis lead to artefacts in the frequency spectra, such as stopping bands and outliers, and present a unified description of these effects in finite element method, isogeometric analysis, and refined isogeometric analysis. Accuracy of the refined isogeometric analysis approximations can be improved by using non-standard quadrature rules. In particular, optimal quadrature rules lead to large reductions in the eigenvalue errors and yield two extra orders of convergence similar to classical isogeometric analysis.
Transitions of Spherical Thermohaline Circulation to Multiple Equilibria

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: The main aim of the paper is to investigate the transitions of the thermohaline circulation in a spherical shell in a parameter regime which only allows transitions to multiple equilibria. We find that the first transition is either continuous (Type-I) or drastic (Type-II) depending on the sign of the transition number. The transition number depends on the system parameters and $l_c$, which is the common degree of spherical harmonics of the first critical eigenmodes, and it can be written as a sum of terms describing the nonlinear interactions of various modes with the critical modes. We obtain the exact formulas of this transition number for $l_c=1$ and $l_c=2$ cases. Numerically, we find that the main contribution to the transition number is due to nonlinear interactions with modes having zero wave number and the contribution from the nonlinear interactions with higher frequency modes is negligible. In our numerical experiments we encountered both types of transition for $Le<1$ but only continuous transition for $Le>1$. In the continuous transition scenario, we rigorously prove that an attractor in the phase space bifurcates which is homeomorphic to the 2$l_c$ dimensional sphere and consists entirely of degenerate steady state solutions.

description: We have identified 317 stars included in the Hipparcos astrometric catalogue which have parallaxes measured to a precision of better than 15%, and whose location in the (M_V, (B-V)_T) diagram implies a metallicity comparable to or less than that of the intermediate-abundance globular cluster, M5. We have undertaken an extensive literature search to locate Stromgren, Johnson/Cousins and Walraven photometry for over 120 stars. In addition, we present new UBVRI photometry of 201 of these candidate halo stars, together with similar data for a further 14 known metal-poor subdwarfs. Those observations provide the first extensive dataset of RI photometry of metal-poor, main-sequence stars with well-determined trigonometric parallaxes. Finally, we have obtained intermediate-resolution optical spectroscopy of 175 stars. We are able to estimate abundances for 270 stars. The overwhelming majority have near-solar abundance, with their inclusion in the present sample stemming from errors in the colours listed in the Hipparcos catalogue. Only 44 stars show consistent evidence of abundances below [Fe/H]= -1.0. Nine are additions to the small sample of metal-poor subdwarfs with accurate photometry. We consider briefly the implication of these results for cluster main-sequence fitting.

title: Spatial and temporal trends in species richness and abundance for the southerly and northerly components of the North Sea fish community separately, based on IBTS data 1977-2005

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Based on the North Sea International Bottom Trawl Survey, the number of species recorded after 20 hauls is used as an index of biodiversity at a spatial scale of 10*10nm. The results show a clear pattern: species richness is lowest in the central North Sea and highest in Scottish waters, in the Kattegat and in the Channel area. When the community is split into its northerly and southerly components, the former reaches its highest diversity in waters typically deeper than 100m and the latter in waters less than 50m. The area of high richness of northerly species extends from Scottish waters along the Norwegian trench into the Kattegat. High richness of southerly species is not restricted to the southern North Sea but is observed also along the Scottish coast and in the Kattegat. These patterns are discussed in relation to hydrographical features that may control these differences. Temporal trends indicate that both components are characterized by a gradual increase in species richness over the past 25 years, a process that has affected the whole area while rates of change did hardly differ between the components or areas. A standardized index of abundance also indicates long-term gradual increases for both northerly and southerly species, although in this case the increase in southern species is larger. I argue that overexploitation is a more plausible explanation for the observed phenomena, although climate change may have had add-on effects.

description: Spontaneous multi-party interaction - conversation among groups of three or more participants - is part of daily life. While automated modeling of such interactions has received increased attention in ubiquitous computing research, there is little applied research on the organization of this highly dynamic and spontaneous sociable interaction within small groups. We report here on an applied conversation analytic study of small-group sociable talk, emphasizing structural and temporal aspects that can inform computational models. In particular, we examine the mechanics of multiple simultaneous conversational floors - how participants initiate a new floor amidst an on-going floor, and how they subsequently show their affiliation with one floor over another. We also discuss the implications of these findings for the design of "smart" multi-party applications.

description: The low production of tomatoes in a greenhouse has reduced the financial status of those concerned and the country at large. This can be achieved by introducing an enhanced production capacity of tomato yield in greenhouse using Model Predictive Controller (MPC). This research work was done by characterizing and modeling tomato yield in normal weather condition with respect to temperature, humidity, soil moisture and quantity of tomatoes. Training an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in a default tomato temperature, relative humidity and soil moisture to attain standard range that will boost its yielding capacity was done. Hence, the trained ANN in a default tomato temperature, relative humidity and soil moisture was integrated into a conventional and Simulink models for model predictive controller to attain standard range that will boost yielding capacity of the tomatoes. The result obtained from the conventional model was the quantity of tomatoes produced in a greenhouse which was 35 tons. On the other hand, when Model Predictive Controller (MPC) was incorporated into the system, it boosts the quantity of tomatoes to 42.7 tons. With these results obtained, it shows that the percentage improvement in the production of tomatoes in a greenhouse when MPC was integrated in the system was 22%. It was thus concluded that Model Predictive Controller enhanced production capacity of tomato yields in the greenhouse
Hidden Variables or Positive Probabilities?

description: Despite claims that Bell's inequalities are based on the Einstein locality condition, or equivalent, all derivations make an identical mathematical assumption: that local hidden-variable theories produce a set of positive-definite probabilities for detecting a particle with a given spin orientation. The standard argument is that because quantum mechanics assumes that particles are emitted in a superposition of states the theory cannot produce such a set of probabilities. We examine a paper by Eberhard, and several similar papers, which claim to show that a generalized Bell inequality, the CHSH inequality, can be derived solely on the basis of the locality condition, without recourse to hidden variables. We point out that these authors nonetheless assumes a set of positive-definite probabilities, which supports the claim that hidden variables or "locality" is not at issue here, positive-definite probabilities are. We demonstrate that quantum mechanics does predict a set of probabilities that violate the CHSH inequality; however these probabilities are not positive-definite. Nevertheless, they are physically meaningful in that they give the usual quantum-mechanical predictions in physical situations. We discuss in what sense our results are related to the Wigner distribution.

description: Binary black-holes (BHs) and binary neutron-stars (NSs) mergers had been recently detected through gravitational-wave (GW) emission, with the latter followed by post-merger electromagnetic counterparts, appearing seconds up to weeks after the merger. While post-merger electromagnetic counterparts had been anticipated theoretically, very little electromagnetic precursors to GW-sources had been proposed, and non observed yet. Here we show that a fraction of ${\rm a}\,{\rm few\times}10^{-4}-10^{-1}$ of LIGO GW-sources and short-GRBs, could be preceded by supernovae-explosions years up to decades before the merger. Each of the BH/NS-progenitors in GW-sources are thought to form following a supernova, likely accompanied by a natal velocity-kick to the newly born compact object. The evolution and natal-kicks determine the orbits of surviving binaries, and hence the delay-time between the birth of the compact-binary and its final merger through GW-emission. We use data from binary evolution population-synthesis models to show that the delay-time distribution has a non-negligible tail of ultra-short delay-times between 1-100 yrs, thereby giving rise to potentially observable supernovae precursors to GW-sources. Moreover, future LISA/DECIGO GW space-detectors will enable the detection of GW-inspirals in the pre-mergers stage weeks to decades before the final merger. These ultra-short delay-time sources could therefore produce a unique type of promptly appearing LISA/DECIGO-GW-sources accompanied by \emph{coincident} supernovae. The archival (and/or direct) detection of precursor (coincident) SNe with GW and/or short-GRBs will provide unprecedented characterizations of the merging-binaries, and their prior evolution through supernovae and natal kicks, otherwise inaccessible through other means.

description: Measurements of the Hubble constant H(z) are increasingly being used to test the expansion rate predicted by various cosmological models. But the recent application of 2-point diagnostics, such as Om(z_i,z_j) and Omh^2(z_i,z_j), has produced considerable tension between LCDM's predictions and several observations, with other models faring even worse. Part of this problem is attributable to the continued mixing of truly model-independent measurements using the cosmic-chronomter approach, and model-dependent data extracted from BAOs. In this paper, we advance the use of 2-point diagnostics beyond their current status, and introduce new variations, which we call Delta h(z_i,z_j), that are more useful for model comparisons. But we restrict our analysis exclusively to cosmic-chronometer data, which are truly model independent. Even for these measurements, however, we confirm the conclusions drawn by earlier workers that the data have strongly non-Gaussian uncertainties, requiring the use of both "median" and "mean" statistical approaches. Our results reveal that previous analyses using 2-point diagnostics greatly underestimated the errors, thereby misinterpreting the level of tension between theoretical predictions and H(z) data. Instead, we demonstrate that as of today, only Einstein-de Sitter is ruled out by the 2-point diagnostics at a level of significance exceeding ~ 3 sigma. The R_h=ct universe is slightly favoured over the remaining models, including LCDM and Chevalier-Polarski-Linder, though all of them (other than Einstein-de Sitter) are consistent to within 1 sigma with the measured mean of the Delta h(z_i,z_j) diagnostics.
