description: Invasive alien plants (IAPs) reduce streamflow and threaten the biodiversity of South Africa's Cape Floristic Region. Up-to-date information on invasive vegetation is required for land management agencies to formulate policies and make appropriate resource management decisions. Invasion maps are typically not updated often enough because of the time and expenses required to do so. As a result, invasion maps for South Africa are limited to coarse resolution data or isolated small scale studies. Invasive alien plants change the landscape by destabilizing catchments and thereby increasing soil erosion, altering fire regimes and hydrology, as well as changing the physical and chemical composition of the soil. Information on IAPs is needed at a landscape scale. Remote sensing is a powerful tool that can be used to characterise landscapes in a biologically meaningful manner. The Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) was used to create an up-to-date invasion map of the Agulhas Plain, lying at the heart of the species rich Cape Floristic Region. This information was combined with actual evapotranspiration data from the Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land (SEBAL) study done by Water Watch and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The results showed that invasive vegetation uses more water than natural fynbos vegetation and that the greatest amount of water would be made available by clearing the invaded deep sands on the Agulhas Plain. These deep sand areas conflict with the priority areas of the Working for Water programme. This IAP eradication programme targets sparsely invaded upland areas for long-term sustainability. The recommendation of this study is to clear invaded wetland and riparian areas as these zones yield the greatest hydrological benefit per hectare and meet the priorities of Working for Water. Overall, 36 million cubic meters of water would be made available by clearing the Agulhas Plain. It can be concluded that there is a significant hydrological benefit to clearing invasive alien vegetation on the Agulhas Plain.

description: Vancomycin-resistente Enterokokken gehören zu den in Deutschland gemäß § 23 Abs. 4 zu erfassenden Erregern und werden mittlerweile in vielen Kliniken in Deutschland häufig beobachtet. Weiterhin weniger klar ist Umfang und Art des klinischen Problems, das sich hinter dieser Beobachtung verbirgt. Der vermehrte Nachweis in den Einrichtungen ist auch am Nationalen Referenzzentrum für Staphylokokken und Enterokokken zu bemerken, wie z. B. an (i) steigenden Einsendezahlen seit 2015 und (ii) einem hohen Bedarf an Typisierungen; letzteres ist nahezu gleichbedeutend mit einem Verdacht auf Transmissionen/Cluster von Infektionen und Besiedlungen in betroffenen Einrichtungen („Ausbrüche“). In den Einsendungen an das NRZ wird zudem, wie im Epidemiologischen Bulletin 35/2019 ausgeführt wird, ein Anstieg an Isolaten mit Resistenzen gegen Reserveantibiotika, dabei vor allem Isolate mit Linezolid-Resistenz, z. T. auch aus lokalen Häufungen, beobachtet.

description: A model of the grain surface chemistry involving the accretion of atoms of two different elements, X and Y, and their reactions to form species X_2, XY, and Y_2 was examined for a wide range of choices for the values of its three free parameters - the accretion rate of X and Y, the desorption rate of X and the grain surface sweeping time of Y, all considered relative to the grain surface sweeping rate of X. Relative production rates of the diatomics were calculated with five methods involving, respectively, a high-order truncation of the master equation, a low-order truncation of the master equation, the standard deterministic rate equation approach, a modified rate equation approach and a set of approximations which are in some cases appropriate for accretion dominated chemistry. The accuracies of the relative production rates calculated with the different methods were assessed for the wide range of model parameters. The more accurate of the low-truncation master equation calculations and the standard deterministic rate equation approach gives results which are in most cases within ten or twenty per cent of the results given by the high-truncation master equation calculations. For many cases, the more accurate of the low order truncation and the standard deterministic rate equation approaches is indicated by a consideration of the average number of atoms of the two species on the grain's surface.

description: The stability and/or instability of the deformed and superdeformed nuclei, $^{133-137}_{60}$Nd, $^{144-158}_{64}$Gd, $^{176-194}_{80}$Hg, and $^{192-198}_{82}$Pb parents, coming from three regions of different superdeformations, are studied with respect to the $α$ and heavy cluster decays. The $α$-decay studies also include the heavier $^{199-210}$Pb nuclei, for reasons of spherical magic shells at Z=82 and N=126. The calculations are made by using the preformed cluster-decay model, and the obtained $α$-decay half-lives are compared with the available experimental data. Having met with a very good success for the comparisons of $α$-decay half-lives and in giving the associated known magic or sub-magic closed shell structures of both the parent nuclei and daughter products, the interplay of closed shell effects in the cluster-decay calculations is investigated. The cluster-decay calculations also give the closed shell effects of known spherical magicities, both for the parent and daughter nuclei, and further predict new (deformed) closed shells at Z=72-74 and N=96-104 due to both the stability and instability of Hg and Pb parents against cluster decays. Specifically, a new deformed daughter radioactivity is predicted for various cluster decays of $^{186-190}$Hg and $^{194,195}$Pb parents with the best possible measurable cases identified as the $^8$Be and $^{12}$C decays of $^{176,177}$Hg and/or $^{192}$Pb parents. The predicted decay half-lives are within the measurable limits of the present experimental methods. The interesting point to note is that the parents with measurable cluster decay rates are normal deformed nuclei at the transition between normal and super-deformation.

description: Most research of figurative language production examines naturalistic discourse. However, laboratory studies of elicited figurative language production are useful because they provide insight into whether specific individual differences are associated with differences in figurative language production ability. In this sense, elicited figurative language production studies mirror the approach many studies of figurative language processing and comprehension take. Accordingly, this study is an investigation into perceptions of novelty and mirth associated with figurative language production. Data in this study come from elicited figurative language production tasks for metaphorical comparisons and sarcastic replies, which were rated based on perceptions of novelty and mirth as well as conceptual distance (metaphors) and incongruity (sarcastic replies). Two individual differences, Need for Cognition and Abstract Thinking, along with other differences such as prompt type and production time were used to predict the novelty and mirth ratings. The results demonstrate a significant effect of Need for Cognition on metaphors but not for sarcastic replies, whereas no significant effects were observed for Abstract Thinking. Moreover, longer production times were associated with higher ratings for both metaphors and sarcastic replies. Finally, the results highlighted the manner in which prompt characteristics influenced participants’ responses, especially so for sarcastic replies.

The nonperturbative propagator and vertex in massless quenched QED_d

description: It is well known how multiplicative renormalizability of the fermion propagator, through its Schwinger-Dyson equation, imposes restrictions on the 3-point fermion-boson vertex in massless quenched quantum electrodynamics in 4-dimensions (QED$_4$). Moreover, perturbation theory serves as an excellent guide for possible nonperturbative constructions of Green functions. We extend these ideas to arbitrary dimensions $d$. The constraint of multiplicative renormalizability of the fermion propagator is generalized to a Landau-Khalatnikov-Fradkin transformation law in $d$-dimensions and it naturally leads to a constraint on the fermion-boson vertex. We verify that this constraint is satisfied in perturbation theory at the one loop level in 3-dimensions. Based upon one loop perturbative calculation of the vertex, we find additional restrictions on its possible nonperturbative forms in arbitrary dimensions.

description: The general purpose of this study was to validate the French Psychological Capital Questionnaire (F-PCQ-24) in a French Air Force sample (N = 3,665). One specific aim was to verify what the best measurement model is for PsyCap, notably by using Bifactor Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (B-ESEM). Another specific aim was to examine the measurement invariance of the best fitting model for the F-PCQ-24 across gender, rank and tenure. Results supported the superiority of the B-ESEM model of PsyCap with the hope dimension divided into its two components (will-power and way-power). Moreover, multi-group confirmatory factor analyses indicated the measurement invariance of F-PCQ-24 for gender and tenure, while there was a small problem with measurement invariance for rank. Overall, these findings confirm that the F-PCQ-24 is a stable measure of PsyCap and support previous theoretical considerations that PsyCap is a core construct. Implications of these findings, limitations and directions for future research are discussed.

description: Various phase transitions in models for coupled charge-density waves are investigated by means of the $ε$-expansion, mean-field theory, and Monte Carlo simulations. At zero temperature the effective action for the system with appropriate commensurability effects is mapped onto the three- or four-dimensional \XY model, depending on spatiotemporal fluctuations, under the corresponding symmetry-breaking fields. It is revealed that the three- and four-dimensional systems display a single transition between the clock order (with broken Z$_M$ symmetry) and disorder. The nature of the phase transition depends crucially on the commensurability factor $M$: For $M \ge 4$, in particular, the transition belongs to the same university class as the \XY model. On the other hand, in the presence of misfit causing frustration in the charge-density wave, the inter-chain coupling is observed to favor either the commensurate state or the incommensurate state depending on the initial configuration; this gives rise to hysteresis around the commensurate-incommensurate transition. Boundaries separating such phases with different symmetries are obtained in the parameter space consisting of the temperature, symmetry-breaking field, fluctuation strength, inter-chain coupling, and misfit.

description: We develop and describe a Bayesian statistical analysis to solve the surface brightness equations for Cepheid distances and stellar properties. Our analysis provides a mathematically rigorous and objective solution to the problem, including immunity from Lutz-Kelker bias. We discuss the choice of priors, show the construction of the likelihood distribution, and give sampling algorithms in a Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach for efficiently and completely sampling the posterior probability distribution. Our analysis averages over the probabilities associated with several models rather than attempting to pick the `best model' from several possible models. Using a sample of thirteen Cepheids we demonstrate the method. We discuss diagnostics of the analysis and the effects of the astrophysical choices going into the model. We show that we can objectively model the order of Fourier polynomial fits to the light and velocity data. By comparison with theoretical models of Bono et al. (2001) we find that EU Tau and SZ Tau are overtone pulsators, most likely without convective overshoot. The period-radius and period-luminosity relations we obtain are shown to be compatible with those in the recent literature.

description: In the present work, a novel and the robust computational investigation is carried out to estimate solubility of different acids in supercritical carbon dioxide. Four different algorithms such as radial basis function artificial neural network, Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) artificial neural network (ANN), Least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) are developed to predict the solubility of different acids in carbon dioxide based on the temperature, pressure, hydrogen number, carbon number, molecular weight, and acid dissociation constant of acid. In the purpose of best evaluation of proposed models, different graphical and statistical analyses and also a novel sensitivity analysis are carried out. The present study proposed the great manners for best acid solubility estimation in supercritical carbon dioxide, which can be helpful for engineers and chemists to predict operational conditions in industries.

description: Based on two experiments, this paper advances the concept of social presence as a novel mechanism through which narrative perspective (first- versus third-person) exerts persuasive effects on attitudes toward outgroup policies and behavioral intentions to help outgroup members. Study 1 (N = 503) shows that the first-person perspective, compared to the third-person perspective, increases social presence of the protagonist, but not identification with the protagonist, when the story depicted an outgroup character. This increase in social presence mediates the effect of narrative perspective on support for outgroup policies. Study 2 (N = 410) further suggests that social presence mediates the effect of narrative perspective regardless of the protagonist’s group membership (in-group versus out-group). Furthermore, this project evaluates the role of social presence in light of other, often-studied processes such as identification and transportation. These findings advance the theorizing and research in narrative research and in media psychology more broadly.

description: Heart disease is one of the most common diseases in middle-aged citizens. Among the vast number of heart diseases, the coronary artery disease (CAD) is considered as a common cardiovascular disease with a high death rate. The most popular tool for diagnosing CAD is the use of medical imaging, e.g., angiography. However, angiography is known for being costly and also associated with a number of side effects. Hence, the purpose of this study is to increase the accuracy of coronary heart disease diagnosis through selecting significant predictive features in order of their ranking. In this study, we propose an integrated method using machine learning. The machine learning methods of random trees (RTs), decision tree of C5.0, support vector machine (SVM), decision tree of Chi-squared automatic interaction detection (CHAID) are used in this study. The proposed method shows promising results and the study confirms that RTs model outperforms other models.

description: We report the first results from a search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) in the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search (CDMS) experiment at the Soudan Underground Laboratory. Four Ge and two Si detectors were operated for 52.6 live days, providing 19.4 kg-d of Ge net exposure after cuts for recoil energies between 10--100 keV. A blind analysis was performed using only calibration data to define the energy threshold and selection criteria for nuclear-recoil candidates. Using the standard dark-matter halo and nuclear-physics WIMP model, these data set the world's lowest exclusion limits on the coherent WIMP-nucleon scalar cross-section for all WIMP masses above 15 GeV, ruling out a significant range of neutralino supersymmetric models. The minimum of this limit curve at the 90% C.L. is 4 x 10^{-43} cm^2 at a WIMP mass of 60 GeV.

description: The magnetic dipole field geometry of subatomic elementary particles like the electron differs from the classical macroscopic field imprint of a bar magnet. It resembles more like an eight figure or else joint double quantum-dots instead of the classical, spherical more uniform field of a bar magnet. This actual subatomic quantum magnetic field of an electron at rest, is called Quantum Magnet or else a Magneton. Normally, a macroscale bar magnet should behave like a relative giant Quantum Magnet with identical magnetic dipole field imprint since all of its individual magnetons collectively inside the material, dipole moments are uniformly aligned forming the total net field of the magnet. However due to Quantum Decoherence (QDE) phenomenon at the macroscale and macroscopic magnetic field imaging sensors limitations which cannot pickup these rapid quantum magnetization fluctuations, this field is masked and not visible at the macroscale. By using the relative inexpensive submicron resolution Ferrolens quantum magnetic optical sensor and method, we can actually make this net magneton field visible on macroscale magnets. We call this net total field herein, Quantum Field of Magnet (QFM) differentiating it therefore from the field of the single subatomic magneton thus quantum magnet. Additionally, the unique potential of the Ferrolens device to display also the magnetic flux lines of this macroscopically projected giant Magenton gives us the unique opportunity to study the individual magnetic flux lines geometrical pattern that of a single subatomic magneton. We describe this particular magnetic flux of the magneton observed, quantum magnetic flux. Therefore a novel observation has been made that the QFM of the Magnet-Magneton consists of a dipole vortex shaped magnetic flux geometrical pattern responsible for creating the classical macroscopic N-S field of the magnet.

description: Based on two experiments, this paper advances the concept of social presence as a novel mechanism through which narrative perspective (first- versus third-person) exerts persuasive effects on attitudes toward outgroup policies and behavioral intentions to help outgroup members. Study 1 (N = 503) shows that the first-person perspective, compared to the third-person perspective, increases social presence of the protagonist, but not identification with the protagonist, when the story depicted an outgroup character. This increase in social presence mediates the effect of narrative perspective on support for outgroup policies. Study 2 (N = 410) further suggests that social presence mediates the effect of narrative perspective regardless of the protagonist’s group membership (in-group versus out-group). Furthermore, this project evaluates the role of social presence in light of other, often-studied processes such as identification and transportation. These findings advance the theorizing and research in narrative research and in media psychology more broadly.

description: We present an application of the fast Independent Component Analysis method to the COBE-DMR 4yr data. Although the signal-to-noise ratio in the COBE-DMR data is typically $\sim 1$, the approach is able to extract the CMB signal with high confidence when working at high galactic latitudes. The reconstructed CMB map shows the expected frequency scaling of the CMB. We fit the resulting CMB component for the rms quadrupole normalisation Qrms and primordial spectral index n and find results in excellent agreement with those derived from the minimum-noise combination of the 90 and 53 GHz DMR channels without galactic emission correction. Including additional channels (priors) such as the Haslam map of radio emission at 408 MHz and the DIRBE 140um map of galactic infra-red emission, the FastICA algorithm is able to both detect galactic foreground emission and separate it from the dominant CMB signal. Fitting the resulting CMB component for Qrms and n we find good agreement with the results from Gorski et al.(1996) in which the galactic emission has been taken into account by subtracting that part of the DMR signal observed to be correlated with these galactic template maps. We further investigate the ability of FastICA to evaluate the extent of foreground contamination in the COBE-DMR data. We include an all-sky Halpha survey (Dickinson, Davies & Davis 2003) to determine a reliable free-free template. In particular we find that, after subtraction of the thermal dust emission predicted by the Finkbeiner, Davis & Schlegel (1999) model 7, this component is the dominant foreground emission at 31.5 GHz. This indicates the presence of an anomalous dust correlated component which is well fitted by a power law spectral shape $ν^{-β}$ with $β\sim 2.5$ in agreement with Banday et al. (2003).

description: YouTube has been influential in propagating Flat Earth Ideology, but not everyone is equally susceptible to the effects of watching these videos. In an experiment with a participant pool restricted to regular YouTube users, we found that lower science intelligence and higher conspiracy mentality increase individuals’ susceptibility to flat Earth arguments on YouTube. In fact, these two dispositional variables interact: whereas people with lower conspiracy mentality do not find the arguments compelling at any level of science intelligence, among those with higher conspiracy mentality, perception of argument strength decreases as science intelligence increases. Moreover, perceptions of argument strength varied on the thrust of the clip’s argument (science-, conspiracy-, or religious-based), with the religious appeal being perceived as weaker and inspiring more counterarguing than the science clip. We discuss implications for both the knowledge deficit hypothesis and for the differential susceptibility to media effects model.

description: The breakdown of SU(6) global symmetry down to its SU(5) subgroup near the scale f > 10 TeV in the strongly interacting sector within the E_6 inspired composite Higgs model (E6CHM) gives rise to a set of pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons (pNGBs) that involves one Standard Model (SM) singlet scalar, a SM-like Higgs doublet and an SU(3)_C triplet of scalar fields, $T$. We argue that the baryon number violation in the E6CHM can induce the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry if CP is violated. The coloured triplet of scalar fields with mass in the few TeV range plays a key role in this process and may lead to a distinct new physics signal that can be detected at the LHC in the near future.

description: We investigate the influence of possible in-medium modifications of the S11(1535) in eta photoproduction in nuclei. Besides Fermi motion, Pauli blocking and binding effects also collisional broadening is accounted for. The in-medium width is obtained from a realistic resonance-hole model. Results on eta photoproduction are obtained from a semi-classical BUU transport model and compared with data. We find that calculations including a momentum dependent nucleon and resonance potential are in agreement with the recent KEK data. In contrast, collisional broadening has only little influence.

Full Waveform Inversion with Adaptive Regularization

description: Regularization is necessary for solving nonlinear ill-posed inverse problems arising in different fields of geosciences. The base of a suitable regularization is the prior expressed by the regularizer, which can be non-adaptive or adaptive (data-driven). In this paper, we propose general black-box regularization algorithms for solving nonlinear inverse problems such as full-waveform inversion (FWI), which admit empirical priors that are determined adaptively by sophisticated denoising algorithms. The nonlinear inverse problem is solved by a proximal Newton method, which generalizes the traditional Newton step in such a way to involve the gradients/subgradients of a (possibly non-differentiable) regularization function through operator splitting and proximal mappings. Furthermore, it requires to account for the Hessian matrix in the regularized least-squares optimization problem. We propose two different splitting algorithms for this task. In the first, we compute the Newton search direction with an iterative method based upon the first-order generalized iterative shrinkage-thresholding algorithm (ISTA), and hence Newton-ISTA (NISTA). The iterations require only Hessian-vector products to compute the gradient step of the quadratic approximation of the nonlinear objective function. The second relies on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM), and hence Newton-ADMM (NADMM), where the least-square optimization subproblem and the regularization subproblem in the composite are decoupled through auxiliary variable and solved in an alternating mode. We compare NISTA and NADMM numerically by solving full-waveform inversion with BM3D regularizations. The tests show promising results obtained by both algorithms. However, NADMM shows a faster convergence rate than Newton-ISTA when using L-BFGS to solve the Newton system.
