description: Megafauna species are intrinsically vulnerable to human impact. Freshwater megafauna (i.e., freshwater animals >= 30 kg, including fishes, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians) are subject to intensive and increasing threats. Thirty-four species are listed as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). Red List of Threatened Species, the assessments for which are an important basis for conservation actions but remain incomplete for 49 (24%) freshwater megafauna species. Consequently, the window of opportunity for protecting these species could be missed. Identifying the factors that predispose freshwater megafauna to extinction can help predict their extinction risk and facilitate more effective and proactive conservation actions. Thus, we collated 8 life-history traits for 206 freshwater megafauna species. We used generalized linear mixed models to examine the relationships between extinction risk based on the IUCN Red List categories and the combined effect of multiple traits, as well as the effect of human impact on these relationships for 157 classified species. The most parsimonious model included human impact and traits related to species' recovery potential including life span, age at maturity, and fecundity. Applying the most parsimonious model to 49 unclassified species predicted that 17 of them are threatened. Accounting for model predictions together with IUCN Red List assessments, 50% of all freshwater megafauna species are considered threatened. The Amazon and Yangtze basins emerged as global diversity hotspots of threatened freshwater megafauna, in addition to existing hotspots, including the Ganges-Brahmaputra and Mekong basins and the Caspian Sea region. Assessment and monitoring of those species predicted to be threatened are needed, especially in the Amazon and Yangtze basins. Investigation of life-history traits and trends in population and distribution, regulation of overexploitation, maintaining river connectivity, implementing protected areas focusing on freshwater ecosystems, and integrated basin management are required to protect threatened freshwater megafauna in diversity hotspots.

On Neutrino Flavor States

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We review the issues associated with the construction of neutrino flavor states. We then provide a consistent proof that the flavor states are approximately well-defined only if neutrinos are ultra-relativistic or the mass differences are negligible compared to energy. However, we show that weak interactions can be consistently described by only neutrino mass eigenstates. Meanwhile, the second quantization of neutrino flavor fields generally has no physical relevance as their masses are indefinite. Therefore, the flavor states are not physical quantum states and they should simply be interpreted as definitions to denote specific linear combinations of mass eigenstates involved in weak interactions. We also briefly discuss the implication of this work for the mixing between active and heavy sterile neutrinos.

description: Within the context of hybrid quantum-classical optimization, gradient descent based optimizers typically require the evaluation of expectation values with respect to the outcome of parameterized quantum circuits. In this work, we explore the consequences of the prior observation that estimation of these quantities on quantum hardware results in a form of stochastic gradient descent optimization. We formalize this notion, which allows us to show that in many relevant cases, including VQE, QAOA and certain quantum classifiers, estimating expectation values with k measurement outcomes results in optimization algorithms whose convergence properties can be rigorously well understood, for any value of k. In fact, even using single measurement outcomes for the estimation of expectation values is sufficient. Moreover, in many settings the required gradients can be expressed as linear combinations of expectation values - originating, e.g., from a sum over local terms of a Hamiltonian, a parameter shift rule, or a sum over data-set instances - and we show that in these cases k-shot expectation value estimation can be combined with sampling over terms of the linear combination, to obtain "doubly stochastic" gradient descent optimizers. For all algorithms we prove convergence guarantees, providing a framework for the derivation of rigorous optimization results in the context of near-term quantum devices. Additionally, we explore numerically these methods on benchmark VQE, QAOA and quantum-enhanced machine learning tasks and show that treating the stochastic settings as hyper-parameters allows for state-of-the-art results with significantly fewer circuit executions and measurements.
The Opacity of the Intergalactic Medium During Reionization: Resolving Small-Scale Structure

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Early in the reionization process, the intergalactic medium (IGM) would have been quite inhomogeneous on small scales, due to the low Jeans mass in the neutral IGM and the hierarchical growth of structure in a cold dark matter Universe. This small-scale structure acted as an important sink during the epoch of reionization, impeding the progress of the ionization fronts that swept out from the first sources of ionizing radiation. Here we present results of high-resolution cosmological hydrodynamics simulations that resolve the cosmological Jeans mass of the neutral IGM in representative volumes several Mpc across. The adiabatic hydrodynamics we follow are appropriate in an unheated IGM, before the gas has had a chance to respond to the photoionization heating. Our focus is determination of the resolution required in cosmological simulations in order to sufficiently sample and resolve small-scale structure regulating the opacity of an unheated IGM. We find that a dark matter particle mass of m_dm < 50 Msun and box size of L > 1 Mpc are required. With our converged results we show how the mean free path of ionizing radiation and clumping factor of ionized hydrogen depends upon the ultraviolet background (UVB) flux and redshift. We find, for example at z = 10, clumping factors typically of 10 to 20 for an ionization rate of Gamma ~ 0.3 - 3 x 1e-12 s^-1, with corresponding mean free paths of ~ 3 - 15 Mpc, extending previous work on the evolving mean free path to considerably smaller scales and earlier times.

description: In the everyday practice of online communication, we observe users deliberately reporting abusive content or opposing hate speech through counterspeech, while at the same time, online platforms are increasingly relying on and supporting this kind of user action to fight disruptive online behavior. We refer to this type of user engagement as online civic intervention (OCI) and regard it as a new form of user-based political participation in the digital sphere that contributes to an accessible and reasoned public discourse. Because OCI has received little scholarly attention thus far, this article conceptualizes low- and high-threshold types of OCI as different kinds of user responses to common disruptive online behavior such as hate speech or hostility toward the media. Against the background of participation research, we propose a theoretically grounded individual-level model that serves to explain OCI.
Correlators of Wilson loops and local operators from multi-matrix models and strings in AdS

description: We study correlation functions of Wilson loops and local operators in a subsector of N=4 SYM which preserves two supercharges. Localization arguments allow to map the problem to a calculation in bosonic two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory. In turn, this can be reduced to computing correlators in certain Gaussian multi-matrix models. We focus on the correlation function of a Wilson loop and two local operators, and solve the corresponding three-matrix model exactly in the planar limit. We compare the strong coupling behavior to string theory in AdS_5xS^5, finding precise agreement. We pay particular attention to the case in which the local operators have large R-charge J \sim sqrt{lambda} at strong coupling.

description: Visible light photocatalysis has become a powerful tool in organic synthesis that uses photons as traceless, sustainable reagents. Most of the activities in the field focus on the development of new reactions via common photoredox cycles, but recently a number of exciting new concepts and strategies entered less charted territories. We survey approaches that enable the use of longer wavelengths and show that the wavelength and intensity of photons are import parameters that enable tuning of the reactivity of a photocatalyst to control or change the selectivity of chemical reactions. In addition, we discuss recent efforts to substitute strong reductants, such as elemental lithium and sodium, by light and technological advances in the field.

description: This thesis mathematically designs various optimal experiments that ensure that the resulting data is as useful as possible. The majority of the work in this thesis is on choice experiments: these experiments help service-providers, policy-makers, etc. in taking business decisions on the characteristics of their products and service. Respondents generally answer certain questions based on their preferences. One major contribution of this thesis is to design choice experiments so that each respondent is asked as few questions as possible. This reduces respondent fatigue, leading to preciseness in response. Therefore, these designs are expected to be helpful to practitioners.

description: Conservation agriculture is based on harnessing and optimizing natural ecological processes such as those mediated by the soil microbiota and represents a very promising approach to overcome the limitations of current conventional practices. Agronomic conservation strategies such as increasing plant diversity at field scale and minimizing soil disturbances such as tillage aim at fostering the presence of beneficial microbial communities to support intrinsic agroecosystem functions and reduce the reliance on agrochemicals and mechanical soil management. However, it remains poorly understood how these positive contributions are modulated by the pedological context. Moreover, only few studies have assessed the management-dependent responses of microbial communities in real-life farming systems. Here, in close association with the farmers and under realistic field conditions, we explored the response of bacterial and fungal community structure to conventional and conservation (using agroecological principles) management regimes across two pedological sites (loamy sand and sandy loam) in Belgium. Microbial diversity was assessed using a DNA metabarcoding approach of ribosomal markers with the Illumina MiSeq sequencing technology. Our results show that different management approaches select for distinct soil microbial communities and that these management-related effects were modulated by the pedological context. Therefore, designing new agricultural systems to foster the presence of beneficial organisms and reduce the level of pathogenic organisms should account for variability in the underlying pedological context.

description: Single glycan-protein interactions are often weak, such that glycan binding partners commonly utilize multiple, spatially defined binding sites to enhance binding avidity and specificity. Current array technologies usually neglect defined multivalent display. Laser-based array synthesis technology allows for flexible and rapid on-surface synthesis of different peptides. By combining this technique with click chemistry, neo-glycopeptides were produced directly on a functionalized glass slide in the microarray format. Density and spatial distribution of carbohydrates can be tuned, resulting in well-defined glycan structures for multivalent display. The two lectins concanavalin A and langerin were probed with different glycans on multivalent scaffolds, revealing strong spacing-, density-, and ligand-dependent binding. In addition, we could also measure the surface dissociation constant. This approach allows for a rapid generation, screening, and optimization of a multitude of multivalent scaffolds for glycan binding.

allows for larger deformations than previous studies. We also investigate equilibrium states (when the system
is subjected to a periodic impulse coming from the heart) and the stabilization around this equilibrium after
perturbations. This work generalises and extends the theoretical study of a model that has been largely used
as a benchmark for numerical schemes in mathematical biology.

description: The internship that preservice teachers complete early in the course of their studies paves the way for their transition from the role of student to that of teacher. It gives them a first opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills, especially to improve their decision-making competences in the three-part process of teaching: planning a lesson, teaching it, and reflecting on the teaching performance (PTR). The present study addresses two research questions. First, to what extent do preservice teachers perceive themselves to be more competent in PTR after their initial teaching internship? Second, to what extent does the individual mood correlate with any reported improvement? 592 preservice teachers participated in the study. Using latent change score modelling, we found learning gains in all three dimensions of PTR. In addition, the results show that negative mood predicts processes of planning and reflecting following the internship, but has no effect on the actual teaching of the lesson.

description: In the Doğan et al. v. Turkey case (judgment of 26 April 2016, no. 62649/10), the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights decided on an application made by several Turkish citizens belonging to the Alevi faith. They complained not to be able to enjoy the same guarantees granted to citizens of the Sunni branch of Islam because national authorities do not acknowledge the cultural features of their faith. The Court found a breach of Art. 9 of the European Convention of Human Rights, alone and in conjunction with Art. 14. However, the decision is not immune from criticism in the part concerning the violation of the freedom of religion. Although the applicants made specific reference to positive obligations stemming from freedom of religion, the Court did not deal with this aspect, and displayed a degree of caution when defining the content of substantive positive obligations stemming from the right to freedom of religion. After summarizing the Court's reasoning, this paper will analyse the case-law on positive obligations concerning the freedom of religion and will show its main problematic features.

description: Noncovalent van der Waals (vdW) interactions are responsible for a wide range of phenomena in matter. Popular density-functional methods that treat vdW interactions use disparate physical models for these intricate forces, and as a result the applicability of these methods is often restricted to a subset of relevant molecules and materials. Aiming towards a general-purpose density functional model of vdW interactions, here we unify two complementary approaches: nonlocal vdW functionals for polarization and interatomic methods for many-body interactions. The developed nonlocal many-body dispersion method (MBD-NL) increases the accuracy and efficiency of existing vdW functionals and is shown to be broadly applicable to molecules, soft and hard materials including ionic and metallic compounds, as well as interfaces between organic molecules and inorganic materials.

description: Departing from the questions: «What a body can do in the museum?» and «How it distributes and mediates different forms of knowledge within an institution of the experience economy?», the contribution shifts to what choreography can do in the museum. Choreographing relations as a mode of assembling and creating a public sphere seems one crucial element. The author examines three choreographic works under the aspects of the public monument, embodied heritage and the need to contextualize. She asks how the latter can be achieved beyond the logocentric use of language, which puts dance in the subordinated position of a silent art, and finishes with a claim for the institutions as sites of long-term practicing which could create specific conditions for dance and its needs beyond a merely product-oriented system.
Is the firewall consistent?: Gedanken experiments on black hole complementarity and firewall proposal

description: In this paper, we discuss the black hole complementarity and the firewall proposal at length. Black hole complementarity is inevitable if we assume the following five things: unitarity, entropy-area formula, existence of an information observer, semi-classical quantum field theory for an asymptotic observer, and the general relativity for an in-falling observer. However, large N rescaling and the AMPS argument show that black hole complementarity is inconsistent. To salvage the basic philosophy of the black hole complementarity, AMPS introduced a firewall around the horizon. According to large N rescaling, the firewall should be located close to the apparent horizon. We investigate the consistency of the firewall with the two critical conditions: the firewall should be near the time-like apparent horizon and it should not affect the future infinity. Concerning this, we have introduced a gravitational collapse with a false vacuum lump which can generate a spacetime structure with disconnected apparent horizons. This reveals a situation that there is a firewall outside of the event horizon, while the apparent horizon is absent. Therefore, the firewall, if it exists, not only does modify the general relativity for an in-falling observer, but also modify the semi-classical quantum field theory for an asymptotic observer.

description: Based on comparative investigations after a period of six years, a reduction of the ultrasonic velocity of 9% and 11% for two marble statues could be detected. The investigations on the objects were based on a newly implemented monitoring program using checklists and detailed mappings to document the development of the conservation state of the monumental statues in the historical center of Berlin, Germany. Traditional ultrasonic measurements were combined with surface hardness tests for selected representative areas using an equotip 3 device. In these areas, the water absorption was tested as well, using Karsten test pipes. In some areas and for different states of weathering, the results show a clear correlation between the surface hardness and the measured ultrasonic wavelength. The results of the water absorption tests underlined the differentiation of weathering forms. The investigations can help to characterize and distinguish between different forms of weathering, such as structural depth weathering or a softening close to the surface. By comparing the nondestructive and only minimal invasive test results with petro-physical compressive strength measurements of marble samples, a clear correlation between ultrasonic velocity, surface hardness, and capillary porosity could be identified. The results can help to calculate the stability assessment, plan the conservation, and make a prognosis of the ongoing weathering process. In conclusion, we elaborate a concept for conservation and restoration and make recommendations for a sustainable preservation of the sculptures.

Optical nonlocality in multilayered hyperbolic metamaterials based on Thue-Morse superlattices

description: We show that hyperbolic electromagnetic metamaterials implemented as multilayers based on two material constituents arranged according to Thue-Morse (ThM) aperiodic sequence may exhibit strong nonlocal effects, manifested as the appearance of additional extraordinary waves which are not predicted by standard effective-medium-theory (local) models. From the mathematical viewpoint, these effects can be associated with stationary points of the transfer-matrix trace, and can be effectively parameterized via the trace-map formalism. We show that their onset is accompanied by a strong wavevector dependence in the effective constitutive parameters. In spite of the inherent periodicity enforced by the unavoidable (Bloch-type) supercell terminations, we show that such strong nonlocality is retained at any arbitrarily high-order iterations, i.e., approaching the actual aperiodic regime. Moreover, for certain parameter configurations, at a given wavelength and for two given material layers, these effects may be significantly less prominent when the same layers are arranged in a standard periodic fashion. Our findings indicate that the (aperiodic) positional order of the layers constitutes an effective and technologically inexpensive additional degree of freedom in the engineering of optical nonlocality.

description: We constrain a stochastic background of primordial magnetic fields (PMF) by its contribution to the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy angular power spectrum with the combination of WMAP 7 year and South Pole Telescope (SPT) data. The contamination in the SPT data by unresolved point sources and by the Sunyaev Zeldovich (SZ) effect due to galaxy clusters has been taken into account as modelled by the SPT collaboration. With this combination of WMAP 7 yr and SPT data, we constrain the amplitude Gaussian smoothed over 1 Mpc scale of a stochatic background of non-helical PMF to $B_{\rm 1 Mpc}<3.5$ nG at 95% confidence level. Our analysis shows that SPT data up to $\ell=3000$ bring an improvement of almost a factor two with respect to results with previous CMB high-$\ell$ data. We then discuss the forecasted impact from unresolved points sources and SZ effect for {\sc Planck} capabilities in constraining PMF.

description: Trustworthy data science depends on engagement with patients and the public- the communities who are affected by data science and digital tools used in healthcare and health research. Datasets, digital tools and analytics need to be designed for – and with – diverse populations, so they don’t only work for some groups at the expense of others. Our speaker from Wellcome Trust will share three examples of different approaches to engaging with patients and the public: Closing gaps in patient data for Black and South Asian communities: a nationally representative survey, community research and engagement A public guide to large datasets: cocreated with experts and members of the public An easy-read guide to NHS data: cocreated with adults with learning disabilities

description: Borna disease virus 1 (BoDV-1) is the causative agent of Borna disease, an often fatal neurologic condition of domestic mammals, including New World camelids, in endemic areas in Central Europe. Recently, BoDV-1 gained further attention by the confirmation of fatal zoonotic infections in humans. Although Borna disease and BoDV-1 have been described already over the past decades, comprehensive reports of Borna disease outbreaks in domestic animals employing state-of-the-art diagnostic methods are missing. Here, we report a series of BoDV-1 infections in a herd of 27 alpacas (Vicugna pacos) in the federal state of Brandenburg, Germany, which resulted in eleven fatalities (41%) within ten months. Clinical courses ranged from sudden death without previous clinical signs to acute or chronic neurologic disease with death occurring after up to six months. All animals that underwent necropsy exhibited a non-suppurative encephalitis. In addition, six apparently healthy seropositive individuals were identified within the herd, suggesting subclinical BoDV-1 infections. In infected animals, BoDV-1 RNA and antigen were mainly restricted to the central nervous system and the eye, and sporadically detectable in large peripheral nerves and neuronal structures in other tissues. Pest control measures on the farm resulted in the collection of a BoDV-1-positive bicoloured white-toothed shrew (Crocidura leucodon), while all other trapped small mammals were negative. A phylogeographic analysis of BoDV-1 sequences from the alpacas, the shrew and BoDV-1-positive equine cases from the same region in Brandenburg revealed a previously unreported endemic area of BoDV-1 cluster 4 in North-Western Brandenburg. In conclusion, alpacas appear to be highly susceptible to BoDV-1 infection and display a highly variable clinical picture ranging from peracute death to subclinical forms. In addition to horses and sheep, they can serve as sensitive sentinels used for the identification of endemic areas.
