description: In this paper cross-relaxation between nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers and substitutional nitrogen in a diamond crystal was studied. It was demonstrated that optically detected magnetic resonance signals (ODMR) can be used to measure these signals successfully. The ODMR were detected at axial magnetic field values around 51.2~mT in a diamond sample with a relatively high (200~ppm) nitrogen concentration. We observed transitions that involve magnetic sublevels that are split by the hyperfine interaction. Microwaves in the frequency ranges from 1.3 GHz to 1.6 GHz ($m_S=0\longrightarrow m_S=-1$ NV transitions) and from 4.1 to 4.6 GHz ($m_S=0\longrightarrow m_S=+1$ NV transitions) were used. To understand the cross-relaxation process in more detail and, as a result, reproduce measured signals more accurately, a model was developed that describes the microwave-initiated transitions between hyperfine levels of the NV center that are undergoing anti-crossing and are strongly mixed in the applied magnetic field. Additionally, we simulated the extent to which the microwave radiation used to induce ODMR in the NV center also induced transitions in the substitutional nitrogen via cross-relaxation. The improved understanding of the NV processes in the presence of a magnetic field will be useful for designing NV-diamond-based devices for a wide range of applications from implementation of q-bits to hyperpolarization of large molecules to various quantum technological applications such as field sensors.

description: We show how the execution time of algorithms on quantum computers depends on the architecture of the quantum computer, the choice of algorithms (including subroutines such as arithmetic), and the ``clock speed'' of the quantum computer. The primary architectural features of interest are the ability to execute multiple gates concurrently, the number of application-level qubits available, and the interconnection network of qubits. We analyze Shor's algorithm for factoring large numbers in this context. Our results show that, if arbitrary interconnection of qubits is possible, a machine with an application-level clock speed of as low as one-third of a (possibly encoded) gate per second could factor a 576-bit number in under one month, potentially outperforming a large network of classical computers. For nearest-neighbor-only architectures, a clock speed of around twenty-seven gates per second is required.

description: The future Facility for Anti-proton and Ion Research (FAIR), currently in construction in Darmstadt, Germany, is one of the largest research projects worldwide. The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) experiment is one of the main pillars at FAIR, studying the quantum chromodynamics (QCD) phase diagram at high baryon densities with unprecedented interaction rate in heavy ion collisions up to 10 MHz. This requires new data-driven readout chain, new data analysis methods and high-rate capable detector systems. The task of the CBM Time of Flight wall (CBM-TOF) is the charged particle identification. Multi-gap Resistive Plate Chambers (MRPCs) with different rate capabilities will be used at CBM-TOF corresponding regions. To reduce the commissioning time for CBM, a CBM full system test-setup called mini-CBM (mCBM) had been installed and tested with beams at GSI SIS18 facility in 2019. The high-rate MRPC prototypes developed at Tsinghua University, called MRPC2, were selected to be implemented in mTOF modules for mCBM. Additional thin float glass MRPCs from USTC called MRPC3, foreseen for the CBM lower rate region, were also tested in the mCBM experiment. Performance results of the two kinds of MRPCs analyzed by the so called tracking method will be shown.

description: America’s forests provide many benefits and services, including clean water, recreation, wildlife habitat, sequestering carbon, and a variety of forest products. Most of our forests appear healthy and green; however, they face many threats to forest health and long-term sustainability. In the West, outbreaks of native pests have killed trees on millions of acres, fires are burning larger areas than in the past, and severe droughts have led to additional stress on forest ecosystems. In the East, invasive forest pests have changed the structure and composition of some forests and, in numerous locations, increasing human development has led to fragmentation. Many of these threats may be exacerbated by a changing climate.

description: Extant and fossil pterobranchs show distinct symmetry conditions of the individual zooids and their tubaria that are not necessarily comparable. The strict bilateral symmetry in the zooids of extant Cephalodiscida is modified to a considerable anatomical asymmetry in extant Rhabdopleurida. This type of left–right asymmetry can be recognized as antisymmetry, as dextral and sinistral developments are equally common. Antisymmetry is also recognized in the rhabdopleurid tubaria and in the proximal development and branching of planktic graptoloids. The antisymmetry of the graptoloid tubarium is modified during the Tremadocian time interval to a fixed or directional asymmetry. From the latest Tremadocian or earliest Floian onwards, proximal development in the Graptoloidea is invariably dextral and very few examples of a sinistral development have been found. The transition from antisymmetry to directional asymmetry can only be recognized in the graptolite tubaria, as the anatomy of the zooids is unknown from the fossil record. Directional asymmetry is not recognized in extant Pterobranchia.

description: The amount of public proteomics data is rapidly increasing but there is no standardized format to describe the sample metadata and their relationship with the dataset files in a way that fully supports their understanding or reanalysis. Here we propose to develop the transcriptomics data format MAGE-TAB into a standard representation for proteomics sample metadata. We implement MAGE-TAB-Proteomics in a crowdsourcing project to manually curate over 200 public datasets. We also describe tools and libraries to validate and submit sample metadata-related information to the PRIDE repository. We expect that these developments will improve the reproducibility and facilitate the reanalysis and integration of public proteomics datasets.

description: We study the mass distribution in six nearby (z<0.06) relaxed Abell clusters of galaxies A0262, A0496, A1060, A2199, A3158 and A3558. Given the dominance of dark matter in galaxy clusters we approximate their total density distribution by the NFW formula characterized by virial mass and concentration. We also assume that the anisotropy of galactic orbits is reasonably well described by a constant and that galaxy distribution traces that of the total density. Using the velocity and position data for 120-420 galaxies per cluster we calculate, after removal of interlopers, the profiles of the lowest-order even velocity moments, dispersion and kurtosis. We then reproduce the velocity moments by jointly fitting the moments to the solutions of the Jeans equations. Including the kurtosis in the analysis allows us to break the degeneracy between the mass distribution and anisotropy and constrain the anisotropy as well as the virial mass and concentration. The method is tested in detail on mock data extracted from N-body simulations of dark matter haloes. We find that the best-fitting galactic orbits are remarkably close to isotropic in most clusters. Using the fitted pairs of mass and concentration parameters for the six clusters we conclude that the trend of decreasing concentration for higher masses found in cosmological N-body simulations is consistent with the data. By scaling the individual cluster data by mass we combine them to create a composite cluster with 1465 galaxies and perform a similar analysis on such sample. The estimated concentration parameter then lies in the range 1.5 < c < 14 and the anisotropy parameter in the range -1.1 < β< 0.5 at the 95 percent confidence level.

Post-merger Mass Ejection of Low-mass Binary Neutron Stars

description: We study the post-merger mass ejection of low-mass binary neutron stars (NSs) with the system mass of $2.5\, M_\odot$, and subsequent nucleosynthesis by performing general-relativistic, neutrino-radiation viscous-hydrodynamics simulations in axial symmetry. We find that the merger remnants are long-lived massive NSs surviving more than several seconds, irrespective of the nuclear equations of state (EOSs) adopted. The ejecta masses of our fiducial models are $\sim 0.06$-$0.1\, M_\odot$ (depending on the EOS), being $\sim 30\%$ of the initial disk masses ($\sim 0.15$-$0.3\, M_\odot$). Post-processing nucleosynthesis calculations indicate that the ejecta is composed mainly of light $r$-process nuclei with small amounts of lanthanides (mass fraction $\sim 0.002$-$0.004$) and heavier species due to the modest average electron fraction ($\sim 0.32$-$0.34$) for a reasonable value of the viscous coefficient. Such abundance distributions are incompatible with the solar $r$-process-like abundance patterns found in all measured $r$-process-enhanced metal-poor stars. Therefore, low-mass binary NS mergers should be rare. If such low-mass NS mergers occur, their electromagnetic counterparts, kilonovae, will be characterized by an early bright blue emission because of the large ejecta mass as well as the small lanthanide fraction. We also show, however, that if the effective turbulent viscosity is very high, or there is an efficient mass ejection working in the early post-merger phase, the electron fraction of the ejecta could be low enough that the solar $r$-process-like abundance pattern is reproduced and the lanthanide fraction becomes so high that the kilonova would be characterized by early bright blue and late bright red emissions.

description: During vesicular acidification, chloride (Cl ), as the counterion, provides the electrical shunt for proton pump-ing by the vacuolar H + ATPase. Intracellular CLC transporters mediate Cl influx to the endolysosomesthrough their 2Cl /H + exchange activity. However, whole-endolysosomal patch-clamp recording also re-vealed a mysterious conductance releasing Cl from the lumen. It remains unknown whether CLCs or otherCl channels are responsible for this activity. Here, we show that the newly identified proton-activated Cl(PAC) channel traffics from the plasma membrane to endosomes via the classical YxxL motif. PAC deletionabolishes the endosomal Cl conductance, raises luminal Cl level, lowers luminal pH, and increases trans-ferrin receptor-mediated endocytosis. PAC overexpression generates a large endosomal Cl current withproperties similar to those of endogenous conductance, hypo-acidifies endosomal pH, and reduces trans-ferrin uptake. We propose that the endosomal Cl PAC channel functions as a low pH sensor and preventshyper-acidification by releasing Cl from the lumen.

description: Under specific experimental circumstances, sputter erosion on semiconductor materials exhibits highly ordered hexagonal dot-like nanostructures. In a recent attempt to theoretically understand this pattern forming process, Facsko et al. [Phys. Rev. B 69, 153412 (2004)] suggested a nonlocal, damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation as a potential candidate for an adequate continuum model of this self-organizing process. In this study we theoretically investigate this proposal by (i) formally deriving such a nonlocal equation as minimal model from balance considerations, (ii) showing that it can be exactly mapped to a local, damped Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation, and (iii) inspecting the consequences of the resulting non-stationary erosion dynamics.

description: We determine the number counts and z=0-5 luminosity function for a well-defined, homogeneous sample of quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We conservatively define the most uniform statistical sample possible, consisting of 15,343 quasars within an effective area of 1622 deg^2 that was derived from a parent sample of 46,420 spectroscopically confirmed broad-line quasars in the 5282 deg^2 of imaging data from SDSS Data Release Three. The sample extends from i=15 to i=19.1 at z<3 and to i=20.2 for z>3. The number counts and luminosity function agree well with the results of the 2dF QSO Survey, but the SDSS data probe to much higher redshifts than does the 2dF sample. The number density of luminous quasars peaks between redshifts 2 and 3, although uncertainties in the selection function in this range do not allow us to determine the peak redshift more precisely. Our best fit model has a flatter bright end slope at high redshift than at low redshift. For z<2.4 the data are best fit by a redshift-independent slope of beta = -3.1 (Phi(L) propto L^beta). Above z=2.4 the slope flattens with redshift to beta=-2.37 at z=5. This slope change, which is significant at a >5-sigma level, must be accounted for in models of the evolution of accretion onto supermassive black holes.

description: The detailed chemical composition of stars is important in many astrophysical fields, among which the characterisation of exoplanetary systems. Previous studies seem to indicate an anomalous chemical pattern of the youngest stellar population in the solar vicinity with a sub-solar metal content. This can influence various observational relations linking the properties of exoplanets to the characteristics of the host stars, for example the giant planet-metallicity relation. In this framework, we aim to expand our knowledge of the chemical composition of intermediate-age stars and understand whether these peculiarities are real or related to spectroscopic analysis techniques. We analysed high-resolution optical and near-infrared GIARPS spectra of intermediate-age stars (< 700Myr). To overcome issues related to the young ages of the stars, we applied a new spectroscopic method that uses titanium lines to derive the atmospheric parameters, in particular surface gravities and microturbulence velocity parameter. We also derived abundances of 14 different atomic species. The lack of systematic trends between elemental abundances and effective temperatures validates our method. However, we observed that the coolest (<5400 K) stars in the sample, display higher abundances for the Cr II, and for high-excitation potential C I lines. We found a positive correlation between the higher abundances measured of C I and Cr II and the activity index logR$_{HK}$. Instead, we found no correlations between the C abundances obtained from CH molecular band at 4300Å, and both effective temperatures and activity. Thus, we suggest that these are better estimates for C abundances in young and cool stars. Finally, we found an indication of an increasing abundance ratio [X/H] with the condensation temperature for HD167389, indicating possible episodes of planet engulfment.

description: A frequency domain model of multimode circular microresonators for filter applications in integrated optics is investigated. Analytical basis modes of 2D bent waveguides or curved interfaces are combined with modes of straight channels in a spatial coupled mode theory framework. Free of fitting parameters, the model allows to predict quite efficiently the spectral response of the microresonators. It turns out to be sufficient to take only a few dominant cavity modes into account. Comparisons of these simulations with computationally more expensive rigorous numerical calculations show a satisfactory agreement.

After a PhD at Cambridge and a lecturership at the University College of North Wales in Bangor, he was appointed to the chair of the Department of Pure and Applied Zoology at the University of Leeds in 1969. At that stage, he switched his research interests abruptly from fishes to the mechanics of legged locomotion. He conducted experiments with a variety of mammals, calculating forces, stresses and strains in muscle fibres, bones and tendons. His speciality became the application of mathematical models to animal locomotion, including repurposing the Froude number, devised by the Victorian engineer William Froude (FRS 1870) for use with ships, to estimate the speed of dinosaurs based on the spacing of their fossil footprints. Subsequent work included modelling the optimization of mammal performance and the minimization of energy costs. In 1992, following an announcement that London Zoo would have to close as a result of shortage of funds, Neill was appointed secretary of the Zoological Society of London. During the period of his secretaryship, the Society's finances recovered, with both its zoos (London and Whipsnade) breaking even in 1993 and the Society returning a surplus in each subsequent year. Neill was awarded the CBE in 2000. The National Portrait Gallery holds his portrait by John Arnison.

description: For a given topological type of a normal surface singularity, there are various types of complex structures which realize it. We are interested in the following problem: Find the maximum of the geometric genus and a condition for that the maximal ideal cycle coincides with the undamental cycle on the minimal good resolution. In this paper, we study weighted homogeneous surface singularities homeomorphic to Brieskorn complete intersection singularities from the perspective of the problem.

description: Inspired by the development of deep learning in computer vision and object detection, the proposed algorithm considers an encoder-decoder architecture with hierarchical feature learning and dilated convolution, named U-Hierarchical Dilated Network (U-HDN), to perform crack detection in an end-to-end method. Crack characteristics with multiple context information are automatically able to learn and perform end-to-end crack detection. Then, a multi-dilation module embedded in an encoder-decoder architecture is proposed. The crack features of multiple context sizes can be integrated into the multi-dilation module by dilation convolution with different dilatation rates, which can obtain much more cracks information. Finally, the hierarchical feature learning module is designed to obtain a multi-scale features from the high to low-level convolutional layers, which are integrated to predict pixel-wise crack detection. Some experiments on public crack databases using 118 images were performed and the results were compared with those obtained with other methods on the same images. The results show that the proposed U-HDN method achieves high performance because it can extract and fuse different context sizes and different levels of feature maps than other algorithms.
Investigations into the diving response of northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) using magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy
Creators: name: Thornton, Sheila J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: To examine the physiological and biochemical changes that occur during diving, northern elephant seal pups were subjected to forced dive protocols while undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopic analysis. Splenic volume measurements were obtained in the predive, dive and postdive state. Splenic contraction was initiated immediately upon facial immersion, reducing to 14.0 - 17.8% of its predive volume by minute 3 of the dive. A corresponding increase in hepatic sinus volume occurred, suggesting a direct shift of blood from the spleen to the sinus. In the postdive period, the spleen gradually dilated, achieving its maximum volume at 18-22 minutes after the dive (3.35% of body mass; n = 5). Stroke volume (SV) measurements were obtained during diving using phase contrast MR imaging. Mean resting SV was 104.94 mis ± 4.12 SEM, while SV during the dive increased significantly to a mean value of 126.12 ± 3.93 SEM. These data are in contrast to the findings of previous studies on pinnipeds, which indicate either the maintenance or decline of stroke volume during the dive. Pre-dive, postdive or diving heart rates did not correlate with mass or with stroke volume during any state. However, diving SV correlated with the ratio of diving HR to predive HR (P = 0.01, R = 0.99). These findings indicate that the effect of diving on stroke volume is altered by the degree of bradycardia rather than the absolute HR. MR spectroscopy analysis was used to investigate changes in locomotory muscle phosphocreatine (PCr) levels during diving. End-dive PCr levels ranged from 36.84 - 103.93% of resting (average 80.85% ± 5.89 SEM). Animals who exhibited a significant decrease in PCr during diving showed a correlation between end-dive PCr and intracellular pH values. Plasma lactate levels indicated that all dives were within the aerobic diving limit. This study demonstrates that in northern elephant seals, PCr hydrolysis does occur during aerobic dives, indicating that the depletion of [PCr] is driven by an alteration in muscle [H⁺] rather than by changes in [adenylate]. The decrease in muscle pH is attributed to respiratory acidosis caused by significant CO₂ accumulation during hypoperfusion.

description: Stylolites are natural pressure-dissolution surfaces in sedimentary rocks. We present 3D high resolution measurements at laboratory scales of their complex roughness. The topography is shown to be described by a self-affine scaling invariance. At large scales, the Hurst exponent is $ζ_1 \approx 0.5$ and very different from that at small scales where $ζ_2 \approx 1.2$. A cross-over length scale at around $Ł_c =1$~mm is well characterized. Measurements are consistent with a Langevin equation that describes the growth of a stylolitic interface as a competition between stabilizing long range elastic interactions at large scales or local surface tension effects at small scales and a destabilizing quenched material disorder.

Infrastructure aid for resource trade? The crossroads of strategy and sustainable development

description: We investigate the claim that rich countries use development aid to ensure access to natural resources. We provide a theoretical model that suggests that even an altruistic donor may be inclined to allocate a higher share of their aid expenditure on infrastructure and other trade-promoting measures if they rely on the recipient's resource exports for their own production. We use a panel dataset from 2001 to 2011. Our results suggest that bilateral resource trade on average positively affects the number of infrastructure projects and their average size. The effect seems to be driven mostly by fuels and road infrastructure projects. While the effect of resources is weaker for landlocked countries, we find that the transport capacity of the recipient's fleet of bulk carriers ---used in the maritime transport of many resources--- reinforces the effect of resources on infrastructure aid. Finally, we find a decreasing influence of resources over time.

description: The first Zagreb index $M_{1}$ of a graph is defined as the sum of the square of every vertex degree, and the second Zagreb index $M_{2}$ of a graph is defined as the sum of the product of vertex degrees of each pair of adjacent vertices. In this paper, we study the Zagreb indices of bipartite graphs of order $n$ with $κ(G)=k$ (resp. $κ'(G)=s$) and sharp upper bounds are obtained for $M_1(G)$ and $M_2(G)$ for $G\in \mathcal{V}^k_n$ (resp. $\mathcal{E}^s_n$), where $\mathcal{V}^k_n$ is the set of bipartite graphs of order $n$ with $κ(G)=k$, and $\mathcal{E}^s_n$ is the set of bipartite graphs of order $n$ with $κ'(G)=s$.

El carácter tradicionalista de la obra de Don Enrique de Villena (1384-1434)
Creators: name: Segura, José
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: For almost five centuries Enrique de Villena (1384-1434) has been branded as a sorcerer and dismissed as both incredulous and superstitious because of his interest in the so-called "occult" sciences. Partly for this reason, until very recently, his writings have attracted little serious scholarly attention, and an edition of his complete works has only been available since 1994. The present thesis is an overall study of Villena's works within a conceptual framework which reflects the ideological bases wich served as Villena's own point of departure. Drawing on studies of traditional societies by specialists such as Ren6 Gu6non and Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, we are able to formulate a well-defined paradigm that explains not just the philosophical foundations of Ancient and Medieval science and literature, but of all human activity in societies which regard their ultimate foundations as resting on a set of divinely-revealed precepts. Chapter 1 provides a critical review of the main contributions to Villena studies, and defines seven fundamental characteristics of traditionalism (also known as the Philosophia perennis) which, in Chapter 2, we are able to identify in Villena's works. Chapter 3 illustrates the existence in the works of Villena of the two classes of traditional authors, and eight of the most common synonyms for their cognitive organs. Chapter 4 presents the function of the restorer and eleven aspects of the traditional author's modus scribendi as found both in traditionalism and in Villena's works. Chapter 5 selects some distinctive notions which characterize five branches of traditional science so as to illustrate their presence in the scientific works of Villena. This thesis demonstrates that the works of Enrique de Villena can only be fully understood when read in the light of traditional philosophy. It also shows that Villena was attempting to revive this Philosophia perennis in the first half of the fifteenth century, a Philosophia which, because of its faith-based tenets and the need for a special intellectual initiation into the comprehension of its precepts, was being rejected by the increasing rationalism of the age.
Splitting submanifolds in rational homogeneous spaces of Picard number one

description: Let $M$ be a complex manifold. We prove that a compact submanifold $S\subset M$ with splitting tangent sequence (called a splitting submanifold) is rational homogeneous when $M$ is in a large class of rational homogeneous spaces of Picard number one. Moreover, when $M$ is irreducible Hermitian symmetric, we prove that $S$ must be also Hermitian symmetric. The basic tool we use is the restriction and projection map $π$ of the global holomorphic vector fields on the ambient space which is induced from the splitting condition. The usage of global holomorphic vector fields may help us set up a new scheme to classify the splitting submanifolds in explicit examples, as an example we give a differential geometric proof for the classification of compact splitting submanifolds with $\dim\geq 2$ in a hyperquadric, which has been previously proven using algebraic geometry.

description: Using methods from the field of topological data analysis, we investigate the self-assembly and emergence of three-dimensional quasi-crystalline structures in a single-component colloidal system. Combining molecular dynamics and persistent homology, we analyse the time evolution of persistence diagrams and particular local structural motifs. Our analysis reveals the formation and dissipation of specific particle constellations in these trajectories, and shows that the persistence diagrams are sensitive to nucleation and convergence to a final structure. Identification of local motifs allows quantification of the similarities between the final structures in a topological sense. This analysis reveals a continuous variation with density between crystalline clathrate, quasi-crystalline, and disordered phases quantified by ‘topological proximity’, a visualization of the Wasserstein distances between persistence diagrams. From a topological perspective, there is a subtle, but direct connection between quasi-crystalline, crystalline and disordered states. Our results demonstrate that topological data analysis provide detailed insights into molecular self-assembly.
