description: This case study gives a probability model for the game of international squash which is used to determine the probability that a particular player will win a game, the expected duration of a game and the expected number of handouts. The distribution of final point scores is also calculated and a method is used to determine the order of importance of rallies. Statistical methods are used to analyse whether squash and tennis players have the capacity to be able to "try harder" in certain circumstances. The results of these analyses are used to revise the values for the probability that a particular player will win a game given different state probabilities and are also used to "explain", in mathematical and statistical terms, the phenomenal achievements of Heather McKay and Geoff Hunt.

description: The emergence of large-scale connectivity and synchronization are crucial to the structure, function and failure of many complex socio-technical networks. Thus, there is great interest in analyzing phase transitions to large-scale connectivity and to global synchronization, including how to enhance or delay the onset. These phenomena are traditionally studied as second-order phase transitions where, at the critical threshold, the order parameter increases rapidly but continuously. In 2009, an extremely abrupt transition was found for a network growth process where links compete for addition in attempt to delay percolation. This observation of "explosive percolation" was ultimately revealed to be a continuous transition in the thermodynamic limit, yet with very atypical finite-size scaling, and it started a surge of work on explosive phenomena and their consequences. Many related models are now shown to yield discontinuous percolation transitions and even hybrid transitions. Explosive percolation enables many other features such as multiple giant components, modular structures, discrete scale invariance and non-self-averaging, relating to properties found in many real phenomena such as explosive epidemics, electric breakdowns and the emergence of molecular life. Models of explosive synchronization provide an analytic framework for the dynamics of abrupt transitions and reveal the interplay between the distribution in natural frequencies and the network structure, with applications ranging from epileptic seizures to waking from anesthesia. Here we review the vast literature on explosive phenomena and synthesize the fundamental connections between models and survey the application areas. We attempt to classify explosive phenomena based on underlying mechanisms and to provide a coherent overview and perspective for future research to address the many vital questions that remained unanswered.

description: Background: Newer therapeutic agents for type 2 diabetes mellitus can improve cardiovascular outcomes, but diabetes remains underdiagnosed in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). We sought to identify proteomic markers of undetected dysglycaemia (impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, or diabetes mellitus) to improve the identification of patients at highest risk for diabetes. Materials and methods: In this prospective cohort, 626 patients without known diabetes underwent oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT) during admission for MI. Proximity extension assay was used to measure 81 biomarkers. Multivariable logistic regression, adjusting for risk factors, was used to evaluate the association of biomarkers with dysglycaemia. Subsequently, lasso regression was performed in a 2/3 training set to identify proteomic biomarkers with prognostic value for dysglycaemia, when added to risk factors, fasting plasma glucose, and glycated haemoglobin A1c. Determination of discriminatory ability was performed in a 1/3 test set. Results: In total, 401/626 patients (64.1%) met the criteria for dysglycaemia. Using multivariable logistic regression, cathepsin D had the strongest association with dysglycaemia. Lasso regression selected seven markers, including cathepsin D, that improved prediction of dysglycaemia (area under the receiver operator curve [AUC] 0.848 increased to 0.863). In patients with normal fasting plasma glucose, only cathepsin D was selected (AUC 0.699 increased to 0.704). Conclusions: Newly detected dysglycaemia, including manifest diabetes, is common in patients with acute MI. Cathepsin D improved the prediction of dysglycaemia, which may be helpful in the a priori risk determination of diabetes as a motivation for confirmatory OGTT.

description: Data obtained by the GONG and MDI instruments over the last seven years are used to study how solar dynamics -- both rotation and other large scale flows -- have changed with time. In addition to the well known phenomenon of bands of faster and slower rotation moving towards the equator and pole, we find that the zonal flow pattern rises upwards with time. Like the zonal flows, the meridional flows also show distinct solar activity related changes. In particular, the anti-symmetric component of the meridional flow shows a decrease in speed with activity. We do not see any significant temporal variations in the dynamics of the tachocline region where the solar dynamo is believed to be operating.

description: Anthropogenic food availability is influenced by short-term fluctuations in human presence, especially in core urban areas. Few studies have explored responses to such day-to-week fluctuations, specifically on body mass and body condition of urban birds. Here, we investigated non-breeding body mass maintenance and body condition in Red-winged Starlings Onychognathus morio resident at the University of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa, in relation to the proportion of impervious surfaces within their home ranges (‘built-up index’). We hypothesised that the built-up index correlates with the starlings’ ability to maintain mass, which is mediated by anthropogenic food availability. In a community science project focused on the university campus, we estimated home range sizes and combined these data with systematic behavioural observations (focals), transects to estimate anthropogenic food availability and repeated body mass measurements. Individual starlings with more built-up home ranges were heavier; they were also heavier and in better body condition on high human presence days (weekdays in term time). We found no relationship between the amount of anthropogenic food available or the proportion of anthropogenic food consumed and built-up index, nor between the times spent foraging or foraging efficiency and built-up index. However, anthropogenic food availability was higher on high human presence days when starlings also consumed more anthropogenic food and tended to spend less time foraging, compared with low human presence days (weekends and vacation). There is growing concern that anthropogenic food could have negative consequences during the breeding season, when parents might be provisioning ‘junk food’ to their offspring. This study provides additional understanding of urban impacts on avian species and the role of anthropogenic food.
Semiclassical theories as initial value problems

description: Motivated by the initial value problem in semiclassical gravity, we study the initial value problem of a system consisting of a quantum scalar field weakly interacting with a classical one. The quantum field obeys a Klein-Gordon equation with a potential proportional to the classical field. The classical field obeys an inhomogeneous Klein-Gordon equation sourced by the renormalised expectation value of the squared quantum field in a Hadamard state, $\langle Ψ| Φ^2 Ψ\rangle$. Thus, the system of equations for the scalar fields reminisces of the semi-classical Einstein field equations with a Klein-Gordon field, where classical geometry is sourced by the renormalised stress-energy tensor of the quantum field, and the Klein-Gordon equation depends on the metric explicitly. We show that a unique asymptotic solution for the system can be obtained perturbatively at any fixed finite order in the weak coupling from initial data provided that the interaction is switched on and off smoothly in a spacetime region to the future of the initial data surface. This allows one to provide "free" initial data for the decoupled system that guarantees that the Wightman function of the quantum field be of Hadamard form, and hence that the renormalised $\langle Ψ| Φ^2 Ψ\rangle$ exist (in a perturbative sense) and be smooth. We comment on how to relax the switching of the interaction, which might be relevant for the corresponding problem in semiclassical gravity.

description: Supplementary feeding of birds may have considerable ecological and evolutionary effects on bird communities. However, there is a lack of basic information on the prevalence, frequency and quality of supplementary feeders, especially in African urban areas. Here we describe the prevalence, reliability and quality of artificial nectar feeders in suburbs in the Cape Floristic Region, South Africa, where many bird-pollinated plant species occur. Results from 291 questionnaires, completed by garden owners with an interest in birds, reveal that 57% of respondents have feeders in their gardens and 51% refill their feeders multiple times per week. The sugar concentration, total duration of feeding and frequency of feeding did not affect abundances or species richness of nectarivorous birds in gardens. We found a higher incidence of breeding sunbirds and sugarbirds in gardens with feeders than gardens without. Supplementary nectar feeding in this area has the potential to contribute to conserving nectarivorous birds, but investigation into the possible negative effects is needed.

description: We consider a typical setup of cavity QED consisting of a two-level atom interacting strongly with a single resonant electromagnetic field mode inside a cavity. The cavity is resonantly driven and the output undergoes continuous homodyne measurements. We derive an explicit expression for the state of the system conditional on a discrete photocount record. This expression takes a particularly simple form if the system is initially in the steady state. As a byproduct, we derive a general formula for the steady state that had been conjectured before in the strong driving limit.

Grating Lobe Suppression in Metasurface Antenna Arrays with a Waveguide Feed Layer

description: Metasurface antenna arrays, formed by tiling multiple metasurface subapertures, offer an alternative architecture to electrically large beamsteering arrays often used in radar and communications. The advantages offered by metasurfaces are enabled by the use of passive, tunable radiating elements. While these metamaterial elements do not exhibit the full range of phase tuning as can be obtained with phase shifters, they can be engineered to provide a similar level of performance with much lower power requirements and circuit complexity. Due to the limited phase and magnitude control, however, larger metasurface apertures can be susceptible to strong grating lobes which result from an unwanted periodic magnitude response that accompanies an ideal phase pattern. In this work, we combine antenna theory with analytical modeling of metamaterial elements to mathematically reveal the source of such grating lobes. To circumvent this problem, we introduce a compensatory waveguide feed layer designed to suppress grating lobes in metasurface antennas. The waveguide feed layer helps metasurface antennas approach the performance of phased arrays from an improved hardware platform, poising metasurface antennas to impact a variety of beamforming applications.
Mood and the relationship between affect and cognition in persistent gambling
Creators: name: Adcock, Sylvia
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1983
Subjects: subject: Gambling Psychological aspects

description: A model to explain persistence among regular gamblers was proposed which suggested that arousal experienced during gambling elicits an illusion of control leading to overestimation of the probability of winning. It was suggested that a prior disturbed mood could retard the habituation of such arousal and thus expose the gambler to an illusion of control for longer periods. Habitual experience of this phenomenon could account for persistence in the face of repeated losses in regular gamblers. Following the collection of baseline data on mood, arousal and estimates of personal success, each subject was required to play in a club with a minimum of $4 (40 responses on a 10c machine). Subjects were then given the choice of continuing to play with their winnings and a further $2 or stopping and taking the $2 plus any winnings. Self report measures of arousal and estimates of success were obtained every 20 responses during the gambling session. Responses and wins were recorded throughout the session. Duration of arousal was found to be significantly related to persistence but level of arousal was not. No relationship was found between mood and the habituation of arousal or between estimates of success and arousal. The suggestion was made that sample limitations worked against the proposed model and further research on a homogeneous population of regular gamblers is essential if the predictions are to be tested adequately.

description: We present optical V and i-band light curves of the gravitationally lensed BAL quasar HE2149-2745. The data, obtained with the 1.5m Danish Telescope (ESO-La Silla) between October 1998 and December 2000, are the first from a long-term project aimed at monitoring selected lensed quasars in the Southern Hemisphere. A time delay of 103+/-12 days is determined from the light curves. In addition, VLT/FORS1 spectra of HE2149-2745 are deconvolved in order to obtain the spectrum of the faint lensing galaxy, free of any contamination by the bright nearby two quasar images. By cross-correlating the spectrum with galaxy-templates we obtain a tentative redshift estimate of z=0.495+/-0.01. Adopting this redshift, a Omega=0.3, Lambda=0.7 cosmology, and a chosen analytical lens model, our time-delay measurement yields a Hubble constant of H_0=66+/-8 km/s/Mpc with an estimated systematic error of +/-3 km/s/Mpc. Using non-parametric models yields H_0=65+/-8 km/s/Mpc and confirms that the lens exhibits a very dense/concentrated mass profile.

description: The Dirac operator describing the coupling of continuum quark fields to SU(2) center vortex world-surfaces composed of elementary squares on a hypercubic lattice is constructed. It is used to evaluate the quenched Dirac spectral density in the random vortex world-surface model, which previously has been shown to quantitatively reproduce both the confinement properties and the topological susceptibility of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory. Under certain conditions on the modeling of the vortex gauge field, a behavior of the quenched chiral condensate as a function of temperature is obtained which is consistent with measurements in SU(2) lattice Yang-Mills theory.

description: We study x-ray photon scattering in the head-on collision of an XFEL pulse and a focused high-intensity laser pulse, described as paraxial Laguerre-Gaussian beam of arbitrary mode composition. For adequately chosen relative orientations of the polarization vectors of the colliding laser fields, this gives rise to a vacuum birefringence effect manifesting itself in polarization flipped signal photons. Throughout this article the XFEL is assumed to be mildly focused to a waist larger than that of the high-intensity laser beam. As previously demonstrated for the special case of a fundamental paraxial Gaussian beam, this scenario is generically accompanied by a scattering phenomenon of x-ray energy signal photons outside the forward cone of the XFEL beam, potentially assisting the detection of the effect in experiment. Here, we study the fate of the x-ray scattering signal under exemplary deformations of the transverse focus profile of the high-intensity pump.

description: Conserved remnants of indigenous vegetation patches and corridors are regarded as important components of the built environment for the survival of birds. Field research was conducted at Boknes and Cannon Rocks in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa to study habitat use, movement, and dispersal of two Red-necked Spurfowl Pternistis afer subpopulations during 2004–2007. Surveys included trapping, marking, releasing, and censusing spurfowl by traversing the study area on a regular basis, as well as fixed point observations. The density of Red-necked Spurfowl varied from 0.66–1 spurfowl ha−1. The sex ratio for female to male was 1:1.28. The average home range for adult males was 6.3 ha. The results suggest that supplementary feeding does not change the population structure or dispersion, nor does it improve productivity or density. The most determining factor influencing spurfowl populations was the presence of indigenous vegetation patches and continuous corridors of coastal vegetation allowing populational interchange and outright dispersal. Conservation measures are suggested to promote the survival of Red-necked Spurfowl in coastal town biotopes. This includes the removal of free ranging chickens Gallus gallus domesticus, which could harbour contagious disease, reduced use of hazardous substances, such as insecticides and herbicides in gardens, and the conservation of well-positioned green patches and corridors.

description: The anticipated use of more than one thousand lead fluoride (PbF2) crystals as a fast and compact Cherenkov calorimeter material in a parity violation experiment at MAMI stimulated the investigation of the light yield (L.Y.) of these crystals. The number of photoelectrons (p.e.) per MeV deposited energy has been determined with a hybrid photomultiplier tube (HPMT). In response to radioactive sources a L.Y. between 1.7 and 1.9 p.e./MeV was measured with 4% statistical and 5% systematic error. The L.Y. optimization with appropriate wrappings and couplings was investigated by means of the HPMT. Furthermore, a fast Monte Carlo simulation based on the GEANT code was employed to calculate the characteristics of Cherenkov light in the PbF2 crystals. The computing time was reduced by a factor of 50 compared to the regular photon tracking method by implementing detection probabilities as a three-dimensional look-up table. For a single crystal a L.Y. of 2.1 p.e./MeV was calculated. The corresponding detector response to electrons between 10 and 1000 MeV was highly linear with a variation smaller than 1%.

description: Egyptian Geese Alopochen aegyptiaca are distributed across most of Africa. Their calls dominate the soundscape of many urban areas, yet their acoustic behaviour is poorly documented or understood. Using acoustic recordings made across a range of behavioural contexts, groups sizes and compositions, we identified a repertoire of eight distinct call types (loud, honk, short honk, hiss, soft, short soft, flight and noisy). Call classification was well supported by a supervised random forest analysis conducted on six robust time-frequency explanatory factors. Our results support a sexually dimorphic call repertoire, where both sexes produce a long, intermediate and short call type with energy distributions and structure (diffuse vs strongly pulsed) varying between types. All call types were produced in bouts. Honk bouts were longer and contained more calls when simultaneous calling by conspecifics was present, in particular when honk matching occurred. When matching or distant calls were found, honk bouts were more likely to continue. Our results document hidden complexity in the acoustic signalling of Egyptian Geese and highlight avenues for future investigation into the behaviour of this urban adapted species.
Energy barriers for collapsing large-diameter carbon nanotubes

description: Single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are best known in their hollow cylindrical shapes, but the ground state of large-diameter tubes actually corresponds to a collapsed dumbbell-like structure, where the opposite sides of the nanotube wall are brought in contact and stabilized by van der Waals attraction. For those tubes, the cylindrical shape is metastable and it is interesting to investigate the energy barrier for jumping from one configuration to another. We calculate the energy barrier for SWNT collapse by considering a transition pathway that consists of an initial local deformation that subsequently propagates itself along the SWNT axis. This leads to finite and physically meaningful energy barriers in the limit of infinite nanotubes. Yet, such barriers are surprisingly large (tens of eV) and therefore virtually unsurmountable, which essentially prevents the thermal collapse of a metastable cylindrical at any reasonable temperatures. Moreover, we show that collapse barriers increase counterintuitively with SWNT diameter. Finally, we demonstrate that, despite such huge barriers, SWNTs may collapse relatively easily under external radial forces and we shed light on recent experimental observations of collapsed and cylindrical SWNTs of various diameters.
On breaking the age-metallicity degeneracy in early-type galaxies: infall versus star formation efficiency

description: The correlation between [Mg/Fe] and galaxy mass found in elliptical galaxies sets a strong constraint on the duration of star formation. Furthermore, the colour-magnitude relation restricts the range of ages and metallicities of the stellar populations. We combine these two constraints with a model of star formation and chemical enrichment including infall and outflow of gas to find that the trend towards supersolar [Mg/Fe] in massive ellipticals excludes a pure metallicity sequence as an explanation of the colour-magnitude relation. An age spread is required, attributable either to a range of star formation efficiencies or to a range of infall timescales. We find that the inferred range of stellar ages is compatible with the small scatter and the redshift evolution of the colour-magnitude relation. Two alternative scenarios can explain the data: fixed infall with an efficiency which is linearly dependent on mass, or a fixed efficiency with a mass-dependent infall timescale t~1/sqrt(M). We conclude that the actual scenario may well involve a combination of these two parameters, with mass dependencies which should span the range of those given above.

description: What conception of mental architecture can survive the evidence of neuroplasticity and neural reuse in the human brain? In particular, what sorts of modules are compatible with this evidence? I aim to show how developmental and adult neuroplasticity, as well as evidence of pervasive neural reuse, forces us to revise the standard conception of modularity and spells the end of a hardwired and dedicated language module. I argue from principles of both neural reuse and neural redundancy that language is facilitated by a composite of modules (or module-like entities), few if any of which are likely to be linguistically special, and that neuroplasticity provides evidence that (in key respects and to an appreciable extent) few if any of them ought to be considered developmentally robust, though their development does seem to be constrained by features intrinsic to particular regions of cortex (manifesting as domain-specific predispositions or acquisition biases). In the course of doing so I articulate a schematically and neurobiologically precise framework for understanding modules and their supramodular interactions.

description: The Abelian monopoles in lattice gluodynamics are associated with continuum monopoles blocked to the lattice. This association allows to predict the lattice monopole action and density of the (squared) monopole charges from a continuum monopole model. The method is applied to the static monopoles in high temperature gluodynamics. We show that the numerical data both for the density and the action of the lattice monopoles can be described in terms of a Coulomb gas of Abelian monopoles in the continuum.

description: The observation of second harmonic generation (SHG) signals, which is forbidden in centrosymmetric crystals, should necessitate clarification of their causes. The authors of a recent paper (Sivaraman et al Molecular crystals & Liquid crystals 656 (2017) 153-168) report to have grown a so-called crystal of diglycine zinc dipicrate which, in fact, is tetraaquabis(glycine)zinc(II) dipicrate dihydrate. This compound despite being centrosymmetric, was reported to exhibit a strong second harmonic response viz. 1.07 times of potassium dihydrogen phosphate. Based on a reinvestigation, we prove that the observation of SHG is due to dehydration of the crystal under laser irradiation.

description: The solution of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation for a potential involving an attractive $x^\frac{2}{3}$ and a repulsive centrifugal-barrier $\sim x^{-2}$ terms is presented in terms of the non-integer-order Hermite functions. The potential belongs to one of the five bi-confluent Heun families. This is a conditionally integrable potential in that the strength of the centrifugal-barrier term is fixed. The general solution of the problem is composed using fundamental solutions each of which presents an irreducible linear combination of two Hermite functions of a scaled and shifted argument. The potential presents an infinitely extended confining well defined on the positive semi-axis and sustains infinitely many bound states.

Place in social process : an exploratory data analysis of outcomes from localised labour exchange

description: The principle tenet of this Study is that place and its role in social process is poorly understood. This is a serious problem in human geography where one of the major tasks is to elucidate the spatial elements in social process. The resulting difficulties are compounded in empirical analysis where the spatial and social are highly disaggregated. Any response must, therefore, address these features of the problem if the situation is to be redressed. A twofold response was formulated. The first, concentrates attention on labour exchange as a key element of social process and investigates spatial differences from the highly disaggregated local perspective. The second involves transferring Tukey's philosophy of EXPLORATORY DATA ANALYSIS to geographical research. This has been done to overcome analytical rigidities which impede progress where theory concept or dat a are sufficiently suspect as to cause uncertainty. Implementation of this strategy progresses from comparatively simple and conventional treatments of place in labour exchange to more sophisticated examinations which explore spatial aspects of differentiation in controlled analytical environments. Substantive investigation of labour exchange, from an exploratory point of view, provides powerful insights into the role of place in labour exchange because it is less constrained than conventional treatments. These insights are manifest through analyses of extent and nature in differentiation between places. Results are of three types: structure in place and social process which establish a prima facie case for more general analysis; structure of place in a widely defined social environment; structure in social process which is sufficiently general as to sustain hypotheses of ubiquitous spatial structure. These interim findings, of merit in their own right, combine to provide a sound foundation for proposition of a model relating place to social process. This model is significant because it reverses the principal tenet of traditional empirical models, which reduce place to the status of an analytical convenience, and argues that it is inherent in considerations of social process.
