description: In a previous paper we derived equivalence relations for pseudo-Wronskian determinants of Hermite polynomials. In this paper we obtain the analogous result for Laguerre and Jacobi polynomials. The equivalence formulas are richer in this case since rational Darboux transformations can be defined for four families of seed functions, as opposed to only two families in the Hermite case. The pseudo-Wronskian determinants of Laguerre and Jacobi type will thus depend on two Maya diagrams, while Hermite pseudo-Wronskians depend on just one Maya diagram. We show that these equivalence relations can be interpreted as the general transcription of shape invariance and specific discrete symmetries acting on the parameters of the isotonic oscillator and Darboux-Poschl-Teller potential.

description: The current study examined the involvement of semantic and orthographic information in the processing of derived words in Korean Hangul. Sixth grade children and adults participated in four masked priming lexical decision experiments in which the prime duration varied from 36, 48, 57, and 72ms (in Experiments, 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively). Morphological (M), semantic (S), and orthographic (O) relatedness between prime-target pairs were manipulated. There were four types of Korean prime-target pairs: (1) -M-S+O: , scandal-scan, (2) +M-S+O: , archer-arch, (3) +M+S+O: , bravely-brave, and (4) -M+S-O: , accuse-blame. There were several key findings: (1) adults showed significant priming effects at 57 and 72ms in +M+S+O and significant priming effects at 72ms in +M-S+O; (2) less skilled readers showed significant facilitation at 36ms in +M+S+O; and (3) in -M-S+O, both skilled and less skilled readers show significant inhibition across four prime durations. The different time course of +M+S+O priming for adults and children may be due to developing readers’ smaller lexicon and less competition for semantic activation of the monosyllabic suffix (e.g., in ), which is a homograph in Korean Hangul. The consistent orthographic inhibition for both age groups suggest that orthographic information is activated early and continues to play an important role throughout the course of Korean visual word recognition. The current study extends previous research with readers of Roman alphabets to readers of an alpha-syllabary orthography written in a non-linear spatial layout with more clear-cut syllable boundaries. Taken together, it appears that the involvement of semantic and orthographic information in the decomposition of morphologically complex word may vary depending on the characteristics of the orthography.
On the lack of X-ray iron line reverberation in MCG-6-30-15: Implications for the black hole mass and accretion disk structure
Creators: name: Reynolds, C. S.

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use the method of Press, Rybicki & Hewitt (1992) to search for time lags and time leads between different energy bands of the RXTE data for MCG-6-30-15. We tailor our search in order to probe any reverberation signatures of the fluorescent iron Kalpha line that is thought to arise from the inner regions of the black hole accretion disk. In essence, an optimal reconstruction algorithm is applied to the continuum band (2-4keV) light curve which smoothes out noise and interpolates across the data gaps. The reconstructed continuum band light curve can then be folded through trial transfer functions in an attempt to find lags or leads between the continuum band and the iron line band (5-7keV). We find reduced fractional variability in the line band. The spectral analysis of Lee et al. (1999) reveals this to be due to a combination of an apparently constant iron line flux (at least on timescales of few x 10^4s), and flux correlated changes in the photon index. We also find no evidence for iron line reverberation and exclude reverberation delays in the range 0.5-50ksec. This extends the conclusions of Lee et al. and suggests that the iron line flux remains constant on timescales as short as 0.5ksec. The large black hole mass (>10^8Msun) naively suggested by the constancy of the iron line flux is rejected on other grounds. We suggest that the black hole in MCG-6-30-15 has a mass of M_BH~10^6-10^7Msun and that changes in the ionization state of the disk may produce the puzzling spectral variability. Finally, it is found that the 8-15keV band lags the 2-4keV band by 50-100s. This result is used to place constraints on the size and geometry of the Comptonizing medium responsible for the hard X-ray power-law in this AGN.

description: The Braess paradox can be observed in road networks used by selfish users. It describes the counterintuitive situation in which adding a new, per se faster, origin-destination connection to a road network results in increased travel times for all network users. We study the network as originally proposed by Braess but introduce microscopic particle dynamics based on the totally asymmetric exclusion processes. In contrast to our previous work [10.1103/PhysRevE.94.062312], where routes were chosen randomly according to turning rates, here we study the case of drivers with fixed route choices. We find that travel time reduction due to the new road only happens at really low densities and Braess' paradox dominates the largest part of the phase diagram. Furthermore, the domain wall phase observed in [10.1103/PhysRevE.94.062312] vanishes. In the present model gridlock states are observed in a large part of phase space. We conclude that the construcion of a new road can often be very critical and should be considered carefully.

Radial Color Gradient and Main Sequence Mass Segregation in M30 (NGC 7099)

description: It has long been known that the post-core-collapse globular cluster M30 has a bluer-inward color gradient, and recent work suggests that the central deficiency of bright red giants does not fully account for this gradient. This study uses Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images in the F439W and F555W bands, along with ground-based CCD images with a wider field of view for normalization of the non-cluster background contribution, and finds Δ(B-V) ~ +0.3 mag for the overall cluster starlight over the range r = 2" to >~ 1'. The slope of the color profile is: Δ(B-V)/Δ\log(r) = 0.20 +/- 0.07 mag dex^{-1}. We explore various algorithms for artificially redistributing the light of bright red giants and horizontal branch stars uniformly across the cluster. The traditional method of redistribution in proportion to the cluster brightness profile is shown to be inaccurate. There is no significant residual color gradient in M30 after proper uniform redistribution of all bright evolved stars; thus the color gradient in M30's central region appears to be due entirely to post-main-sequence stars. Two classes of plausible dynamical models, Fokker-Planck and multimass King models, are combined with theoretical stellar isochrones from Bergbusch & VandenBerg (1992) and from D'Antona et al. to quantify the effect of mass segregation of main sequence stars. In all cases, mass segregation of main sequence stars results in Δ(B-V) ~ -0.06 to +0.02 mag over the range r = 20" - 80"; this is consistent with M30's residual color gradient within measurement error. The observed fraction of evolved star light in the B and V bands agrees with the corresponding model predictions at small radii but drops below it for r >~ 20".

Matrix-Element Corrections to Parton Shower Algorithms

description: We discuss two ways in which parton shower algorithms can be supplemented by matrix-element corrections to ensure the correct hard limit: by using complementary phase-space regions, or by modifying the shower itself. In the former case, existing algorithms are self-consistent only if the total correction is small. In the latter case, existing algorithms are never self-consistent, a problem that is particularly severe for angular-ordered parton shower algorithms. We show how to construct self-consistent algorithms in both cases. The postscript file for this paper can also be obtained by anonymous ftp from thep.lu.se in the file pub/Preprints/lu_tp_94_17.ps

description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials occupy noteworthy place in nanophotonics providing for subwavelength light confinement and optical phenomena dissimilar to those of their bulk counterparts. In the mid-infrared, graphene-based heterostructures and van der Waals crystals of hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) overwhelmingly concentrate the attention by exhibiting real-space nano-optics from plasmons, phonon-polaritons and hybrid plasmon phonon-polaritons quasiparticles. Here we present the mid-infrared nanophotonics of talc, a natural atomically flat layered material, and graphene-talc (G-talc) heterostructures using broadband synchrotron infrared nano-spectroscopy. We achieve wavelength tuning of the talc resonances, assigned to in- and out-of-plane vibrations by changing the thickness of the crystals, which serves as its infrared fingerprints. Moreover, we encounter coupling of the graphene plasmons polaritons with surface optical phonons of talc. As in the case of the G-hBN heterostructures, this coupling configures hybrid surface plasmon phonon-polariton modes causing 30 % increase in intensity for the out-of-plane mode, blue-shift for the in-plane mode and we have succeeded in altering the amplitude of such hybridization by varying the gate voltage. Therefore, our results promote talc and G-talc heterostructures as appealing materials for nanophotonics, like hBN and G-hBN, with potential applications for controllably manipulating infrared electromagnetic radiation at the subdiffraction scale.

description: The ultraluminous supernova remnant (SNR) in NGC 6946 is the brightest known SNR in X-rays, ~1000 times brighter than Cas A. To probe the nature of this remnant and its progenitor, we have obtained high-dispersion optical echelle spectra. The echelle spectra detect H-alpha, [N II], and [O III] lines, and resolve these lines into a narrow (FWHM ~20--40 km/s) component from un-shocked material and a broad (FWHM ~250 km/s) component from shocked material. Both narrow and broad components have unusually high [N II]/H-alpha ratios, ~1. Using the echelle observation, archival HST images, and archival ROSAT X-ray observations, we conclude that the SNR was produced by a normal supernova, whose progenitor was a massive star, either a WN star or a luminous blue variable. The high luminosity of the remnant is caused by the supernova ejecta expanding into a dense, nitrogen-rich circumstellar nebula created by the progenitor.

description: Broad translational success of RNA interference (RNAi) technology depends on the development of effective delivery approaches. To that end, researchers have developed a variety of strategies, including chemical modification of RNA, viral and non-viral transfection approaches, and incorporation with delivery vehicles such as polymer- and lipid-based nanoparticles, engineered and native proteins, extracellular vesicles (EVs), and others. Among these, EVs and protein-based vehicles stand out as biomimetically-inspired approaches, as both proteins (e.g. Apolipoprotein A-1, Argonaute 2, and Arc) and EVs mediate intercellular RNA transfer physiologically. Proteins specifically offer significant therapeutic potential due to their biophysical and biochemical properties as well as their ability to facilitate and tolerate manipulation; these characteristics have made proteins highly successful translational therapeutic molecules in the last two decades. This review covers engineered protein vehicles for RNAi delivery along with what is currently known about naturally-occurring extracellular RNA carriers towards uncovering design rules that will inform future engineering of protein-based vehicles.

title: Characterization and Epidemiology of Viruses Belonging to the African Haemorrhagic Fever group, with Particular Reference to Marburg.
Creators: name: Bowen, ETW
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 1978

description: Between July and September 1976, widespread interest on an international scale was directed towards outbreaks of viral haemorrhagic fever which occurred in the southern Sudan and northern Zaire. This thesis is an account of the work carried out by the author with the assistance of three members of the staff of the Special Pathogens Unit at the Microbiological Research Establishment, Porton Down, Salisbxiry. It describes the successful isolation and identification of the aetiologic agent, and also describes the successful transmission of the disease to guinea pigs and monkeys. Characteristic pathological lesions were found in all the experimental animals. The agent produced characteristic intracytoplasmic inclusion bodies in tissue culture which could be detected by both conventional staining and by immunofluorescent techniques. Studies have shown that the agent although morphologically identical to Marburg virus, was antigenically distinct. In concurrence with other principle investigators, the name Ebola virus was proposed. The disease induced in monkeys by infection with Ebola virus was very similar to that which occurs in man. Rhesus and Vervet monkeys therefore seem to be suitable experimental animals in which to study the pathogenesis of the disease and also to evaluate the various aspects of therapy. Infection with the Sudanese strain of the virus appeared to be less virulent in both guinea pigs and monkeys compared with that of the Zaire strain. Rneous monkeys were treated with human leucocyte interferon prophylactics!ly and after experimental infection with the Zaire strain of Ebola virus. Viraemia was delayed and clinically survival appeared to be enhanced. There was no consistent difference in the pathological changes or the outcome ol the infection between the treated and the untreated animals. Epidemiological studies carried out on material from the Sudan, showed antibodies to Ebola virus which were detected by immunofluorescence in 42 of 48 patients in Maridi who had been diagnosed clinically, but only in 6 of 31 patients in Nzara. The possibility of the indirect irnmunofluorescent test not being sufficiently sensitive is discussed. Of Maridi case contacts in hospital and in the local community only 19% had antibodies. Very few of them gave any history of illness indicating that Ebola virus can cause a mild disease or even sub-clinical infection. Detailed virological investigations were carried out on a patient infected with Ebola virus.

description: Device fingerprinting can be used by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to identify vulnerable IoT devices for early prevention of threats. However, due to the wide deployment of middleboxes in ISP networks, some important data, e.g., 5-tuples and flow statistics, are often obscured, rendering many existing approaches invalid. It is further challenged by the high-speed traffic of hundreds of terabytes per day in ISP networks. This paper proposes DeviceRadar, an online IoT device fingerprinting framework that achieves accurate, real-time processing in ISPs using programmable switches. We innovatively exploit "key packets" as a basis of fingerprints only using packet sizes and directions, which appear periodically while exhibiting differences across different IoT devices. To utilize them, we propose a packet size embedding model to discover the spatial relationships between packets. Meanwhile, we design an algorithm to extract the "key packets" of each device, and propose an approach that jointly considers the spatial relationships and the key packets to produce a neighboring key packet distribution, which can serve as a feature vector for machine learning models for inference. Last, we design a model transformation method and a feature extraction process to deploy the model on a programmable data plane within its constrained arithmetic operations and memory to achieve line-speed processing. Our experiments show that DeviceRadar can achieve state-of-the-art accuracy across 77 IoT devices with 40 Gbps throughput, and requires only 1.3% of the processing time compared to GPU-accelerated approaches.

title: The estimation of fertility from incomplete cohort data by means of the transformed gompertz model
Creators: name: Booth, H
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 1979

description: Among the several models of fertility that have been developed, the Gompertz function has been shown to perform quite well. The fit to cumulative fertility by age of women is better in the middle age range than in the tails of the distribution, especially for high fertility populations. An empirical transformation of the age scale is developed to produce a better fit to the entire reproductive period. The substitution of age by this transformed scale results in the transformed Gompertz model of fertility: F(x)=FPQYs(x) 0 < P, Q < 1 0 < F where F(x) is cumulative fertility by age of women, x, F is completed fertility, P and Q are parameters and Ys(x) is the transformed age scale. The model can also be written as: Y(x)= a+ BYs(x) where Y(x)= -1n(-1n F(x)/F), a=-1n(-1nP) and B=-1nQ. Ys(x) is obtained by averaging over a selection of transformed patterns of high fertility schedules generated by the empirically based Coale-Trussell model of fertility. The model is tested using several sets of good quality fertility rates for birth cohorts of women, including a series of simulated rates developed especially for this purpose. Both the goodness of fit of the model and its projection capabilities from incomplete cohort data are shown to be good. Fitting is by the least squares method with equal weights. Several sets of poorer quality, high fertility, cohort data obtained from maternity histories collected in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and West New Guinea are used to illustrate the application of the model. Fitting for these data is by least squares with an infinite weight on reported parity at the time of the survey. The estimates of completed fertility are plausible, and the fitted curves provide evidence of reporting errors in the data. There is also evidence of trends over time in the level and pattern of fertility.

description: In the context of electromagnetism and nonlinear optical interactions damping is generally introduced as a phenomenological, viscous term that dissipates energy, proportional to the temporal derivative of the polarization. Here, we follow the radiation reaction method presented in [G. W. Ford and R. F. O'Connell, Phys. Lett. A, 157, 217 (1991)], which applies to non-relativistic electrons of finite size, to introduce an explicit reaction force in the Newtonian equation of motion, and derive a hydrodynamic equation that offers new insight on the influence of damping in generic plasmas, metal-based and/or dielectric structures. In these settings, we find new damping-dependent linear and nonlinear source terms that suggest the damping coefficient is proportional to the local charge density, and nonlocal contributions that stem from the spatial derivative of the magnetic field and discuss the conditions that could modify both linear and nonlinear electromagnetic responses.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: Although there are an increasing number of methods treating children with learning and behavioral problems, the provided results are in a lot of cases not self-evident. During my work and research it has gotten clear that all participants, children and parents included, need a feedback on achievements. As most of the times these children suffer a lack of attention during their studies a neurofeedback system was implemented in a movement-development course to provide a more scientific approach in developing their minds. Using this method the gathered data can be used to analyze the growth of participating children and doing so the course can be adjusted if needed. Developing the system also ensures that participants meet various challenges to train their focus while a playful atmosphere is maintained. The question is it worth doing it this way? In today’s economical situation various factors must be considered on different levels to answer. On a basic level it must be considered what will a child gain if he/she goes through a developmental course. Will being successful outweigh the cost of training, is it worth for parents or on a higher level for society to invest more resources?

description: We study the nature of domain walls in an ordered phase in the phase-competing region of two Ising-type order parameters. Considering a two-component $ϕ^4$ theory, we show that the domain wall of the ground-state (primary) order parameter shows a second-order phase transition associated with the secondary order parameter of the competing phase; the effective theory of the phase transition is given by the Landau theory of Ising-type phase transition. We find that the phase boundary of this phase transition is different from the spinodal line of the competing order. Experimentally, the phase transition is detected by the divergence of the susceptibility corresponding to the secondary order when the temperature is quenched to introduce the domain walls.

description: We present detailed semi-analytical models for the formation of disk galaxies both in a Universe dominated by dark matter (DM), and in one for which the force law is given by modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). We tune the models to fit the observed near-infrared Tully-Fisher (TF) relation, and compare numerous predictions of the resulting models with observations. The DM and MOND models are almost indistinguishable. They both yield gas mass fractions and dynamical mass-to-light ratios which are in good agreement with observations. Both models reproduce the narrow relation between global mass-to-light ratio and central surface brightness, and reveal a characteristic acceleration, contrary to claims that these relations are not predicted by DM models. Both models require SN feedback in order to reproduce the lack of high surface brightness dwarf galaxies. However, the introduction of feedback to the MOND models steepens the TF relation and increases the scatter, making MOND only marginally consistent with observations. The most serious problem for the DM models is their prediction of steep central rotation curves. However, the DM rotation curves are only slightly steeper than those of MOND, and are only marginally inconsistent with the poor resolution data on LSB galaxies.

description: Recently attention has been brought to trans-resveratrol's {TR) anticancer activity, as determined through a number of cultured cancer cell models. This activity was attributed to TR behaving as an estrogen, and the orientation of TR' s hydroxyl groups. Based on this work it was of interest to determine whether TR would also be toxic in prostate cancer cells; if toxic, did TR induce necrosis or apoptosis in the cells; was it toxic through hormone mediated pathways; and were TR's hydroxyl groups responsible for its biological activity. To this end, cellular viability was assessed in two different prostate cancer cell lines, LNCaP and DU 145, in the presence of TR. The onset of apoptosis in LNCaP cells treated with TR was also measured through three distinct techniques, which measured apoptotic morphology, phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization and caspase activity, three events that occur in cells undergoing apoptosis. The measurement of apoptotic morphology and PS externalization, distinguished between apoptotic and necrotic cells. An immuno blot was also used to determine which of two possible caspases were being activated. Trimethoxy-TR (Tm TR), a methylated TR analogue, was synthesized to determine whether TR' s hydroxyl groups were important to its biological activity. It was found through the cell viability assays that, although TR was toxic to LNCaP cells, it was not toxic only through hormone mediated pathways. It was also found that TR induced apoptosis in LNCaP cells in all three assays used, and that apoptosis was taking place through caspase-3. Finally it was determined that TR's hydroxyl groups were important to its biological activity.

description: We present a critical reappraisal of the available results on the broken phase of $λ(Φ^4)_4$ theory, as obtained from rigorous formal analyses and from lattice calculations. All the existing evidence is compatible with Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking but dictates a trivially free shifted field that becomes controlled by a quadratic hamiltonian in the continuum limit. As recently pointed out, this implies that the simple one-loop effective potential should become effectively exact. Moreover, the usual naive assumption that the Higgs mass-squared $m^2_h$ is proportional to its ``renormalized'' self-coupling $λ_R$ is not valid outside perturbation theory: the appropriate continuum limit has $m_h$ finite and vanishing $λ_R$. A Monte Carlo lattice computation of the $λ(Φ^4)_4$ effective potential, both in the single-component and in the O(2)-symmetric cases, is shown to agree very well with the one-loop prediction. Moreover, its perturbative leading-log improvement (based on the concept of $λ_R$) fails to reproduce the Monte Carlo data. These results, while supporting in a new fashion the peculiar ``triviality'' of the $λ(Φ^4)_4$ theory, also imply that, outside perturbation theory, the magnitude of the Higgs mass does not give a measure of the observable interactions in the scalar sector of the standard model.

description: With the 1+2 Language Approach manifesting in Scottish schools, it was important for me to undertake research into what teaching method could motivate learners to learn an additional language. Content Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is learning a language through another subject. I consider my research to be of importance and of benefit to educational establishments as it offers an alternative method to teaching languages. The findings of my research suggest that CLIL quickly created an engaging, motivational and enjoyable context for language learning. Resulting from this research project, I suggest that teaching languages through a CLIL approach is more engaging than traditional teaching modes.
Feedback from Galaxy Formation: Escaping Ionizing Radiation from Galaxies at High Redshift

description: Several observational and theoretical arguments suggest that starburst galaxies may rival quasars as sources of metagalactic ionizing radiation at redshifts z > 3. Reionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM) at z > 5 may arise, in part, from the first luminous massive stars. To be an important source of radiative feedback from star formation, a substantial fraction (\sim 1-10%) of the ionizing photons must escape the gas layers of the galaxies. Using models of smoothly distributed gas confined by dark-matter (DM) potentials, we estimate the fraction, f_esc, of Lyc flux that escapes the halos of spherical galaxies as a function of their mass and virialization redshift. The gas density profile is found by solving the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium for the baryonic matter in the potential well of a DM halo with the density profile found by Navarro et. al. (1996). We then perform a parametric study to understand the dependence of fesc on redshift, mass, star-formation efficiency (SFE), stellar density distribution, and OB association luminosity function. We give useful analytical formulas for f_esc(z,M_{DM}). Using the Press-Schechter formalism, we find that stellar reionization at z \sim 7 is probably dominated by small galactic sub-units, with M_{DM} \simlt 10^7 M_\odot and SFE \sim 10 times that in the Milky Way. This may affect the distribution of heavy elements throughout the intergalactic medium.

description: In many species, females are hypothesized to obtain ‘good genes’ for their offspring by mating with males in good condition. However, female preferences might deplete genetic variance and make choice redundant. Additionally, high-condition males sometime produce low-fitness offspring, for example because of environmental turnover and gene-by-environment interactions (GEIs) for fitness, or because fit males carry sexually antagonistic alleles causing them to produce unfit daughters. Here, we extend previous theory by investigating the evolution of female mate choice in a spatially explicit evolutionary simulation implementing both GEIs and intralocus sexual conflict (IASC), under sex-specific hard or soft selection. We show that IASC can weaken female preferences for high-condition males or even cause a preference for males in low condition, depending on the relative benefits of producing well-adapted sons versus daughters, which in turn depends on the relative hardness of selection on males and females. We discuss the relevance of our results to conservation genetics and empirical evolutionary biology.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Linking local adaptation with the evolution of sex differences’.

Baryon Distribution in Galaxy Clusters as a Result of Sedimentation of Helium Nuclei

Year: 1999

description: Heavy particles in galaxy clusters tend to be more centrally concentrated than light ones according to the Boltzmann distribution. An estimate of the drift velocity suggests that it is possible that the helium nuclei may have entirely or partially sedimented into the cluster core within the Hubble time. We demonstrate the scenario using the NFW profile as the dark matter distribution of clusters and assuming that the intracluster gas is isothermal and in hydrostatic equilibrium. We find that a greater fraction of baryonic matter is distributed at small radii than at large radii, which challenges the prevailing claim that the baryon fraction increases monotonically with cluster radius. It shows that the conventional mass estimate using X-ray measurements of intracluster gas along with a constant mean molecular weight may have underestimated the total cluster mass by $\sim 20%$, which in turn leads to an overestimate of the total baryon fraction by the same percentage. Additionally, it is pointed out that the sedimentation of helium nuclei toward cluster cores may at least partially account for the sharp peaks in the central X-ray emissions observed in some clusters.

description: High fidelity generation of two-qubit gates is important for quantum computation, since such gates are components of popular universal sets of gates. Here we consider the problem of high fidelity generation of two-qubit C-NOT and C-PHASE (with a detailed study of C-Z) gates in presence of the environment. We consider the general situation when qubits are manipulated by coherent and incoherent controls; the latter is used to induce generally time-dependent decoherence rates. For estimating efficiency of optimization methods for high fidelity generation of these gates, we study quantum control landscapes which describe the behaviour of the fidelity as a function of the controls. For this, we generate and analyze the statistical distributions of best objective values obtained by incoherent GRadient Ascent Pulse Engineering (inGRAPE) approach. We also apply inGRAPE and stochastic zero-order method to numerically estimate minimal infidelity values. The results are different from the case of single-qubit gates and indicate a smooth trap-free behaviour of the fidelity.
