description: We study twistor spinors (with torsion) on Riemannian spin manifolds $(M^{n}, g, T)$ carrying metric connections with totally skew-symmetric torsion. We consider the characteristic connection $\nabla^{c}=\nabla^{g}+\frac{1}{2}T$ and under the condition $\nabla^{c}T=0$, we show that the twistor equation with torsion w.r.t. the family $\nabla^{s}=\nabla^{g}+2sT$ can be viewed as a parallelism condition under a suitable connection on the bundle $Σ\oplusΣ$, where $Σ$ is the associated spinor bundle. Consequently, we prove that a twistor spinor with torsion has isolated zero points. Next we study a special class of twistor spinors with torsion, namely these which are $T$-eigenspinors and parallel under the characteristic connection; we show that the existence of such a spinor for some $s\neq 1/4$ implies that $(M^{n}, g, T)$ is both Einstein and $\nabla^{c}$-Einstein, in particular the equation ${\rm Ric}^{s}=\frac{{\rm Scal}^{s}}{n}g$ holds for any $s\in\mathbb{R}$. In fact, for $\nabla^{c}$-parallel spinors we provide a correspondence between the Killing spinor equation with torsion and the Riemannian Killing spinor equation. This allows us to describe 1-parameter families of non-trivial Killing spinors with torsion on nearly Kähler manifolds and nearly parallel ${\rm G}_2$-manifolds, in dimensions 6 and 7, respectively, but also on the 3-dimensional sphere ${\rm S}^{3}$. We finally present applications related to the universal and twistorial eigenvalue estimate of the square of the cubic Dirac operator.

description: BaIrO3 is a magnetic insulator driven by the spin-orbit interaction (SOI), whereas BaRuO3 is a paramagnet and exhibits a crossover from a metallic to an insulating regime. Our investigation of structural, magnetic, transport and thermal properties reveals that substitution of Ru4+ (4d4) ions for Ir5+ (5d5) ions in BaIrO3 reduces the magnitudes of the SOI and a monoclinic structural distortion, and rebalances the competition between the SOC and the lattice degrees freedom to generate a rich phase diagram for BaIr1-xRuxO3 (0< x <1). There are two major effects of Ru additions: (1) Light Ru doping (0 < x < 0.15) prompts simultaneous, precipitous drops in both the magnetic ordering temperature TN and the electrical resistivity, which exhibits a crossover behavior from a metallic to an insulating state near TN. (2) Heavier Ru doping (0.41< x < 0.9) induces a robust metallic state with a strong spin frustration generated by competing antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions.

description: This paper examines the issues and challenges affecting the successful implementation of cooperative collection management programs in academic research libraries. The copious body of literature concerning cooperative collection development and management is summarized, and criteria for the evaluation of cooperative programs are identified.  Three models of cooperative collection management programs are compared and evaluated, according to the defined criteria--the Consortium of University Research Libraries (UK), the Triangle Research Libraries Network, and the Boston Library Consortium. It is suggested that academic research libraries interested in proposing and establishing cooperative collection management programs examine the missions, objectives, characteristics and activities of successful cooperative programs, such as those identified in this paper.

description: This investigation completely classifies the spatial chaos problem in plane edge coloring (Wang tiles) with two symbols. For a set of Wang tiles $\mathcal{B}$, spatial chaos occurs when the spatial entropy $h(\mathcal{B})$ is positive. $\mathcal{B}$ is called a minimal cycle generator if $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{B})\neq\emptyset$ and $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{B}')=\emptyset$ whenever $\mathcal{B}'\subsetneqq \mathcal{B}$, where $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{B})$ is the set of all periodic patterns on $\mathbb{Z}^{2}$ generated by $\mathcal{B}$. Given a set of Wang tiles $\mathcal{B}$, write $\mathcal{B}=C_{1}\cup C_{2} \cup\cdots \cup C_{k} \cup N$, where $C_{j}$, $1\leq j\leq k$, are minimal cycle generators and $\mathcal{B}$ contains no minimal cycle generator except those contained in $C_{1}\cup C_{2} \cup\cdots \cup C_{k}$. Then, the positivity of spatial entropy $h(\mathcal{B})$ is completely determined by $C_{1}\cup C_{2} \cup\cdots \cup C_{k}$. Furthermore, there are 39 equivalent classes of marginal positive-entropy (MPE) sets of Wang tiles and 18 equivalent classes of saturated zero-entropy (SZE) sets of Wang tiles. For a set of Wang tiles $\mathcal{B}$, $h(\mathcal{B})$ is positive if and only if $\mathcal{B}$ contains an MPE set, and $h(\mathcal{B})$ is zero if and only if $\mathcal{B}$ is a subset of an SZE set.

description: We consider a right-handed scalar neutrino as the inflaton which carries a gravitational coupling with a supersymmetric QCD sector responsible for breaking supersymmetry dynamically. The framework suggests an inflaton potential which is a deformed version of the quadratic chaotic inflation leading to a flatter potential. We find that this deformation results a sizable tensor to scalar ratio which falls within the allowed region by PLANCK 2015. At the same time supersymmetry breaking at the end of inflation can naturally be induced in this set-up. The symmetries required to construct the framework allows the neutrino masses and mixing to be of right order.

description: The consensus among scholars is that collection development in university libraries should be a collaborative effort between librarians and the faculty who patronize the library. This case study investigates the use of a blog to collate faculty feedback on prospective purchases for a departmental library. An interview gauges the librarian's reaction to the blog interface and its effectiveness, while a survey measures faculty impressions of the blog. With some customizations for this particular use case, blogs could provide a viable medium for soliciting feedback for collection development.

description: We adapt the vector field method of Klainerman to the study of relativistic transport equations. First, we prove robust decay estimates for velocity averages of solutions to the relativistic massive and massless transport equations, without any compact support requirements (in $x$ or $v$) for the distribution functions. In the second part of this article, we apply our method to the study of the massive and massless Vlasov-Nordström systems. In the massive case, we prove global existence and (almost) optimal decay estimates for solutions in dimensions $n \geq 4$ under some smallness assumptions. In the massless case, the system decouples and we prove optimal decay estimates for the solutions in dimensions $n \geq 4$ for arbitrarily large data, and in dimension $3$ under some smallness assumptions, exploiting a certain form of the null condition satisfied by the equations. The $3$-dimensional massive case requires an extension of our method and will be treated in future work.

description: We study theoretically the squeezing spectrum and second-order correlation function of the output light for an optomechanical system in which a mechanical oscillator modulates the cavity linewidth (dissipative coupling). We find strong squeezing coinciding with the normal-mode frequencies of the linearized system. In contrast to dispersive coupling, squeezing is possible in the resolved-sideband limit simultaneously with sideband cooling. The second-order correlation function shows damped oscillations, whose properties are given by the mechanical-like, the optical-like normal mode, or both, and can be below shot-noise level at finite times, $g^{(2)} (τ) < 1$.

description: This study is a content analysis of recent young adult fantasy series: K A. Applegate's Everworld series, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The analysis was conducted to examine major themes in young adult fantasy: Identity (as in, the search for), Destiny (participation in a larger plan), and Magic (the acquisition, use, and mastery of magical powers and devices). Findings were discussed as they related to the developmental theories of Erikson and Piaget. A sequence of identity discovery emerged as the central focus of the relationship between Identity, Destiny, and Magic. Discovered elements of identity, development of awareness of roles, and the use magic were all found to parallel and/or affect the stages or transitions of the identity discovery sequence. Findings in the literature were also found to parallel developmental models proposed by Erikson (identity achievement) and Piaget (formal operations).

description: Keona Health, a spin-off company from the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill and in partnership with the National Institute of Health, has developed a triage platform called Online Triage. UNC Chapel Hill's Campus Health Services piloted the Keona platform by offering it to over 28,000 students. The pilot demonstrated significant nurse time savings, improved patient safety, and increased nurse satisfaction. Students used Online Triage from home using a link on the university website, as well as from kiosks in Health Services facilities. We tracked data on several variables including nurse review time and concordance between the nurse and our Clinical Decision Support (CDS) system.
A total of 93% of students said they would use Online Triage to save time, but also to get reassurance and save money. Additionally, 77% of patients said they were moderately, very, or extremely likely to use it next time they had a health problem. Compared to traditional triage using Online Triage resulted in a 31% reduction in nurse time. The CDS system was able to safely screen patients for potential emergencies, and improve safety over patient's pre-dispositions. Nurses also reported a high degree of satisfaction with Online Triage and valued how it prepared them for patient interactions and reduced their documentation time. More work needs to be done improving the questionnaires, emergency screening, and display of information to nurses.

description: Twitter is the world's most popular micro-blogging service.  Since 2005 the number of individual and organizational users has expanded dramatically.  This study examines Twitter use by ten North Carolina State Government Agencies.  Using the principles of grounded theory, a content analysis of these ten feeds was conducted in an attempt to define Twitter use and user intention.  Tweets are categorized by Information Type and Subject.  Most tweets were found to announce an activity or event.  The study also identified a distinct division between Agencies who used Twitter as a tool for conversation and those who did not.  Tweets were found to primarily broadcast information in contrast to the typical individual user described by several scholars.

description: We present a new algorithm for deriving numerical invariants that combines the precision of max-policy iteration with the flexibility and scalability of conventional Kleene iterations. It is defined in the Configurable Program Analysis (CPA) framework, thus allowing inter-analysis communication. It uses adjustable-block encoding in order to traverse loop-free program sections, possibly containing branching, without introducing extra abstraction. Our technique operates over any template linear constraint domain, including the interval and octagon domains; templates can also be derived from the program source. The implementation is evaluated on a set of benchmarks from the Software Verification Competition (SV-Comp). It competes favorably with state-of-the-art analyzers.

description: A hot topic in data center design is to envision geo-distributed architectures spanning a few sites across wide area networks, allowing more proximity to the end users and higher survivability, defined as the capacity of a system to operate after failures. As a shortcoming, this approach is subject to an increase of latency between servers, caused by their geographic distances. In this paper, we address the trade-off between latency and survivability in geo-distributed data centers, through the formulation of an optimization problem. Simulations considering realistic scenarios show that the latency increase is significant only in the case of very strong survivability requirements, whereas it is negligible for moderate survivability requirements. For instance, the worst-case latency is less than 4~ms when guaranteeing that 80% of the servers are available after a failure, in a network where the latency could be up to 33 ms.

description: This paper examines how documents marked up using the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) SGML guidelines might be automatically transformed to conform to Document Type Definitions (DTDs) in the Extensible Markup Language (XML).  The paper provides an overview of the TEI guidelines, and the TEI-Lite subset.  There is a survey of XML with particular attention paid to the proposed XML version of the TEI-Lite DTD.  Preliminary experiments returned a 31% success rate, showing that the available tools that translate SGML TEI-Lite conformant documents to XML versions are flawed.  These tools require significant manual intervention in order to function correctly.  This paper concludes that if we can overcome the problems with translation, XML will become the chief means for transmitting and publishing texts on the web.  Sources include publicly available web pages and standards body produced specifications.

description: Neutrino oscillations have been probed during the last few decades using multiple neutrino sources and experimental set-ups. In the recent years, very large volume neutrino telescopes have started contributing to the field. First ANTARES and then IceCube have relied on large and sparsely instrumented volumes to observe atmospheric neutrinos for combinations of baselines and energies inaccessible to other experiments. Using this advantage, the latest result from IceCube starts approaching the precision of other established technologies, and is paving the way for future detectors, such as ORCA and PINGU. These new projects seek to provide better measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters, and eventually determine the neutrino mass ordering. The results from running experiments and the potential from proposed projects are discussed in this review, emphasizing the experimental challenges involved in the measurements.

description: The Korea Multipurpose Accelerator Complex (KOMAC) has been developing a 300-kV test stand for a 1-MV electrostatic accelerator ion source. The ion source and accelerating tube will be installed in a high-pressure vessel. The ion source in the high-pressure vessel is required to have a high reliability. The test stand has been proposed and developed to confirm the stable operating conditions of the ion source. The ion source will be tested at the test stand to verify the long-time operating conditions. The test stand comprises a 300-kV high-voltage terminal, a battery for the ion-source power, a 60-Hz inverter, 200-MHz RF power, a 5-kV extraction power supply, a 300-kV accelerating tube, and a vacuum system. The results of the 300-kV high-voltage terminal tests are presented in this paper.

description: Let $N_{g}$ denote a closed nonorientable surface of genus $g$. For $g \geq 2$ the mapping class group $\mathcal{M}(N_{g})$ is generated by Dehn twists and one crosscap slide ($Y$-homeomorphism) or by Dehn twists and a crosscap transposition. Margalit and Schleimer observed that Dehn twists have nontrivial roots. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a root of a crosscap slide and a crosscap transposition.

description: Optical coherence tomography angiography (Angio-OCT), mainly based on the temporal dynamics of OCT scattering signals, has found a range of potential applications in clinical and scientific research. Based on the model of random phasor sums, temporal statistics of the complex-valued OCT signals are mathematically described. Statistical distributions of the amplitude differential and complex differential Angio-OCT signals are derived. The theories are validated through the flow phantom and live animal experiments. Using the model developed, the origin of the motion contrast in Angio-OCT is mathematically explained, and the implications in the improvement of motion contrast are further discussed, including threshold determination and its residual classification error, averaging method, and scanning protocol. The proposed mathematical model of Angio-OCT signals can aid in the optimal design of the system and associated algorithms.

Photospheric Abundances of Polar Jets on the Sun Observed by Hinode

description: Many jets are detected at X-ray wavelengths in the Sun's polar regions, and the ejected plasma along the jets has been suggested to contribute mass to the fast solar wind. From in-situ measurements in the magnetosphere, it has been found that the fast solar wind has photospheric abundances while the slow solar wind has coronal abundances. Therefore, we investigated the abundances of polar jets to determine whether they are the same as that of the fast solar wind. For this study, we selected 22 jets in the polar region observed by Hinode/EIS (EUV Imaging Spectrometer) and XRT (X-Ray Telescope) simultaneously on 2007 November 1-3. We calculated the First Ionization Potential (FIP) bias factor from the ratio of the intensity between high (S) and low (Si, Fe) FIP elements using the EIS spectra. The values of the FIP bias factors for the polar jets are around 0.7-1.9, and 75$\%$ of the values are in the range of 0.7-1.5, which indicates that they have photospheric abundances similar to the fast solar wind. The results are consistent with the reconnection jet model where photospheric plasma emerges and is rapidly ejected into the fast wind.

description: We propose a gravitational energy-momentum tensor of the general relativity obtained using Noethers theorem. It transforms as a tensor under general coordinate transformations. One of the two indices of the gravitational energy-momentum tensor labels a local Lorentz frame that satisfies the energy-momentum conservation law. The energies for a gravitational wave and a Friedmann-Lemaitre--Robertson--Walker universe are calculated as examples.

description: We investigate the nonequilibrium behavior of dense, plastic-crystalline suspensions of mildly anisotropic colloidal hard dumbbells under the action of an oscillatory shear field by employing Brownian dynamics computer simulations. In particular, we extend previous investigations, where we uncovered novel nonequilibrium phase transitions, to other aspect ratios and to a larger nonequilibrium parameter space, that is, a wider range of strains and shear frequencies. We compare and discuss selected results in the context of novel scattering and rheological experiments. Both simulations and experiments demonstrate that the previously found transitions from the plastic crystal phase with increasing shear strain also occur at other aspect ratios. We explore the transition behavior in the strain-frequency phase and summarize it in a nonequilibrium phase diagram. Additionally, the experimental rheology results hint at a slowing down of the colloidal dynamics with higher aspect ratio.
