description: We have investigated the interrelation between the spin glasses and the structural glasses. Spin glasses in this case are random magnets without reflection symmetry (e.g. $p$ - spin interaction spin glasses and Potts glasses) which contain quenched disorder, whereas the structural glasses are here exemplified by the homopolymeric globule, which can be viewed as a liquid of connected molecules on nano scales. It is argued that the homopolymeric globule problem can be mapped onto a disorder field theoretical model whose effective Hamiltonian resembles the corresponding one for the spin glass model. In this sense the disorder in the globule is self - generated (in contrast to spin glasses) and can be related with competitive interactions (virial coefficients of different signs) and the chain connectivity. The work is aimed at giving a quantitative description of this analogy. We have investigated the phase diagram of the homopolymeric globule where the transition line from the liquid to glassy globule is treated in terms of the replica symmetry breaking paradigm. The configurational entropy temperature dependence is also discussed.

description: Abstract: Moral error theorists often respond to the epistemic companions in guilt strategy by adopting the Disparity Response: reject the putative parity between moral and epistemic reasons and claim that though the former are irreducibly normative, the latter aren’t. I argue such a response fails. Expanding on Das’ Australas J Philos 95(1):58–69, (2017) work I present a master argument against Disparity Responses: the arguments moral error theorists use to advance their conceptual claim apply in the epistemic domain also. This prohibits the error theorist from adopting epistemic reductionism. I use Jonas Olson’s work as exemplary of moral error theory. I demonstrate that Olson’s (2014) argument that the rhetorical authority of moral claims is best explained by the error theorist’s conceptual claim applies equally in the epistemic case. Olson (2018) attempts to avoid this by claiming that epistemic claims are reducible to claims about whether our doxastic attitudes live up to their functions. There are two problems with Olson’s (2018) argument. Firstly, functional reasons are a species of a common genus – standards reasons – and since Olson’s authority argument against moral reductionism applies to standards reasons, it applies to functional reasons. Secondly, Olson’s (2018) claim that we cannot also cast moral reasons as functional is under-supported. I suggest that there is plausible evidence that we can and undermine his arguments against this claim. I do not argue that the epistemic companions in guilt strategy demonstrates the falsity of moral error theory. Rather, I argue that the Disparity Response to the epistemic companions in guilt strategy fails.

description: We study parameters of an extension of the Standard Model. The neutrino sector is enlarged by one right-handed singlet field, allowing for the seesaw mechanism type-I, and the Higgs sector contains one additional doublet, which contributes to light neutrino masses through one-loop radiative corrections. Employing an approximation for the effective light neutrino mass matrix we express the masses of the light neutrinos analytically, allowing us to parametrize the Yukawa couplings to neutrinos by the experimental measurements on the neutrino sector and only two free parameters. We focus on a CP-conserving Higgs potential for which we present the allowed ranges of the input parameters and a statistical overview over the possible values of the Yukawa couplings.

description: Town of Banská Bystrica, the middle-size regional centre (less than 80 thousand inhabitants) from central Slovakia has an eccentric geographical position in relation to the rest of the rural self-governing region of Banská Bystrica. This reality has an important impact on the public transport management from the perspective of the region and individual providers. The aim of the study is to identify municipalities and areas of this region which inhabitants are marginalised or excluded from using the public transport services to/from their regional centre. We used the concept of “daily accessibility” together with a priori accepted condition from the perspective of potential travellers about “the longest stay time in regional centre” as the decisive criteria for delimitation of territories (transport-disadvantaged areas), which inhabitants suffer not only from public transport exclusion, but also from the greater number of transport vehicle changes and used public transport lines (connections) during the return journey. Electronic database of train and bus timetables was used by procedure for obtaining the information about studied characteristics for return journey during 24 hours of working days (Wednesday) and the rest of the week (Sunday).

$h \to μ^+μ^-$ via gluon fusion at the LHC

description: We study the observability of the $h\to μ^+μ^-$ decay in the Standard Model and the MSSM at the LHC. The observation of the $hμμ$ coupling is important to determine whether the Higgs particle that generates mass for the weak bosons is also responsible for mass generation of the second generation of fermions. We find that the signal via the gluon fusion channel is comparable to that from the weak-boson fusion. By combining these two channels, observing $h\to μ^+μ^-$ is feasible at the LHC with a delivered luminosity of $300 fb^{-1}$ at $3σ$ statistical significance for 110 GeV $8$ and $M_A<130$.

description: We analyze the impact and the determinants of a global carbon tax maximizing social welfare in an imperfectly integrated economy. Using a model of trade and location with two countries with different population size, we first show that agglomeration of firms in the larger country raises total emissions. Nevertheless, the introduction of a global carbon tax induces a partial relocation of firms from the larger to the smaller country. Thus, even though the carbon tax is identical in both countries, environmental taxation is not neutral for the location of economic activity. Finally, this partial relocation of firms in the smaller country improves the ability of the carbon tax to reduce total emissions.

description: The response of an extended periodic system to a homogeneous field (of wave-vector $q=0$) cannot be obtained from a $q=0$ time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) calculation, because the Runge-Gross theorem does not apply. Time-dependent {\em current}-density functional theory is needed and demonstrates that one key ingredient missing from TDDFT is the macroscopic current. In the low-frequency limit, in certain cases, density polarization functional theory is recovered and a formally exact expression for the polarization functional is given.

description: We develop a theory to derive effective Floquet Hamiltonians in the weak drive and low-frequency regime. We construct the theory in analogy with band theory for electrons in a spatially-periodic and weak potential, such as occurs in some crystalline materials. As a prototypical example, we apply this theory to graphene driven by circularly polarized light of low intensity. We find an analytic expression for the effective Floquet Hamiltonian in the low-frequency regime which accurately predicts the quasienergy spectrum and the Floquet states. Furthermore, we identify self-consistency as the crucial feature effective Hamiltonians in this regime need to satisfy to achieve a high accuracy. The method is useful in providing a realistic description of off-resonant drives for multi-band solid state systems where light-induced topological band structure changes are sought.

description: Abstract: Background/objectives: Childhood rapid growth and earlier puberty onset have been associated with adult obesity. However, the association between childhood stunting, pubertal timing and adult obesity is unclear. We examined whether the relationship between stunting at age 2 years (y) and body composition at 23 years is mediated by adolescent body mass index, and pubertal development, using the Birth-to-Twenty Plus cohort (South Africa). Subjects/methods: For 1036 participants, data on anthropometrics between birth and 23 years, maternal factors, and pubertal development (Tanner scale at 9–16 years) were collected. Stunting at 2 years (height-for-age z-score < −2), 5–18 years BMI-for-age trajectories, pubertal development trajectories, and DXA-derived fat mass (FM) and fat free mass (FFM) at 23 years were determined. Data were analysed using hierarchical regressions and structural equation models. Results: Stunting was directly associated with slower pubertal development and with shorter adult stature, but was not associated with adolescent BMI trajectories, adult FM or FFM. However, stunting was indirectly associated with adult FM and FFM through the direct associations between slower pubertal development and lower FM and between shorter height and lower FFM. BMI trajectories were independently associated with FM and FFM. Conclusions: Being stunted in this population predicted adult body composition through slower pubertal development and shorter adult stature.

description: Bacterial resistance to antimicrobial therapies is an increasing clinical problem. This is as true for topical applications as it is for systemic therapy. Topically, copper ions may be effective and cheap antimicrobials that act through multiple pathways thereby limiting opportunities to bacteria for resistance. However, the chemistry of copper does not lend itself to facile formulations that will readily release copper ions at biologically compatible pHs. Here we have developed nanoparticulate copper hydroxide adipate tartrate (CHAT) as a cheap, safe and readily synthesised material that should enable antimicrobial copper ion release in an infected wound environment. First, we synthesised CHAT and showed that this had disperse aquated particle sizes of 2-5 nm, and mean zeta potential of -40 mV. Next, when diluted into bacterial medium, CHAT demonstrated similar efficacy to copper chloride against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with dose-dependent activity occurring mostly around 12.5-50 mg/L of copper. Indeed, at these levels, CHAT very rapidly dissolved and, as confirmed by a bacterial copper biosensor, showed identical intracellular loading to copper ions derived from copper chloride. However, when formulated at 250 mg/L in a topically-applied matrix, namely hydroxyethyl cellulose, the benefit of CHAT over copper chloride was apparent. The former yielded rapid sustained release of copper within the bactericidal range but the copper chloride, which formed insoluble precipitates at such concentration and pH, achieved a maximum release of 10 ± 7 mg/L copper by 24 hours. We provide a practical formulation for topical copper - based antimicrobial therapy. Further studies, especially in vivo, are merited.

description: Abstract: Background: Invasive alien plant species often have negative environmental and social impacts, such as loss of biodiversity and alteration of ecosystem services. As a result, managing the introduction, establishment, and abundance of invasive species is a major priority. To do this effectively, we need evidence on the effect of management interventions (such as using herbicide or cutting to control invasive plants). This evidence should not only include the effects of these management interventions on invasive alien species, but also on native species and other non-target outcomes such as ecosystem services. Such evidence would allow for comparison of the trade-offs between different management interventions. In the planned review we aim to assess how management interventions to control nine priority invasive alien plants species in England and Wales affect environmental outcomes. These species are: Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica) Nuttall’s waterweed (Elodea nuttallii), Chilean rhubarb (Gunnera tinctoria), Giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum), Floating pennywort (Hydrocotyle ranunculoides), Himalayan balsam (Impatiens glandulifera), Curly waterweed (Lagarosiphon major), American skunk cabbage (Lysichiton americanus), Parrot’s feather (Myriophyllum aquaticum). Methods: Searches will be in English and use bibliographic databases (Scopus, Web of Science Core Collection, Open Access Theses and Dissertations, and Conservation Evidence) and internet searches (Google Scholar), as well as specialist databases. Our methodology will only use the names of each species (scientific names and common names, including synonyms) as our search string (we will not use qualifiers, such as “AND invasive”). This will give low specificity but will increase the likelihood of capturing all relevant information. We will use predefined criteria for study inclusion and data extraction. We will screen publications in two stages: (1) using titles and abstracts and (2) using full texts. Consistency of inclusion will be checked by two people screening a random sample of 10% of titles and abstracts. This dual-screening will be subject to kappa analysis and any disagreements resolved through discussion. We will use critical appraisal to assess study validity by identifying studies that are potentially prone to bias.

description: Decades of research show that students learn more in classes that utilize active learning than they do in traditional, lecture-only classes. Active learning also reduces the achievement gaps that are often present between various demographic groups. Given these well-established results, instructors of upper-division astronomy courses may decide to search the astronomy education research literature in hopes of finding some guidance on common student difficulties, as well as research-validated and research-based active learning curricula. But their search will be in vain. The current literature on upper-division astronomy is essentially non-existent. This is a shame,since many upper-division astronomy students will experience conceptual and problem-solving difficulties with the quantitative problems they encounter. These difficulties may exist even if students have a strong background in mathematics. In this paper, I examine one quantitative problem that is representative of those that upper-division astronomy students are expected to solve. I list many of the subtle pieces of information that students need to understand in order to advance toward a solution and I describe how such a list can be used to generate Peer Instruction (PI) questions. I also provide guidelines for instructors who wish to develop and implement their own PI questions. These PI questions can be used to increase the amount of active learning that occurs in an upper-division astronomy course. They help develop students' understandings of symbolic, mathematical representations and they help improve students' problem-solving skills.

description: Abstract: Physical inactivity is a global pandemic with no signs of improvement. Prolonged sitting time is an emerging risk factor that exacerbates the health consequences of physical inactivity. Both behaviours are influenced by various individual and environmental factors but it remains unknown whether early-life exposures “program” these behaviours in later life. The current evidence is limited by a small number of studies which were primarily conducted in high-income countries, and a narrow range of early-life variables examined. Using data from three population-based Brazilian birth cohorts (analytical samples: n = 2740 for 1982 cohort, aged 30 years; n = 3592 for 1993 cohort, aged 18; n = 2603 for 2004 cohort, aged 6), we show that being female and higher family socioeconomic status at birth are strong and consistent predictors of lower physical activity and higher sedentary time from childhood to adulthood. Meanwhile, higher birth weight and lower birth order may also predict lower physical activity and higher sedentary time. Our findings are distinct from evidence from high-income countries, suggesting the importance of broader socioeconomic context in determining individual’s activity patterns through the life- course. Such evidence is essential for understanding the biological etiology and socioeconomic context of physical activity and sedentary behaviour at an early stage in life.

description: The structure of phase space is determined for spatially compact and locally homogeneous universe models with fluid. Analysis covers models with all possible space topologies except for those covered by S^3, H^3 or S^2xR which have no moduli freedom. We show that space topology significantly affects the number of dynamical degrees of freedom of the system. In particular, we give a detailed proof of the result that for the systems modeled on the Thurston types H^2xR and SL_2, which have locally the Bianchi type III or VIII symmetry, the number of dynamical degrees of freedom increases without bound when the space topology becomes more and more complicated, which was first pointed out by Koike, Tanimoto and Hosoya in an incomplete form.

description: The harvest of exoplanet discoveries has opened the area of exoplanet characterisation. But this cannot be achieved without a careful analysis of the host star parameters. The system of HD219134 hosts two transiting exoplanets and at least two additional non-transiting exoplanets. We used the VEGA/CHARA interferometer to measure the angular diameter of HD219134, leading to a stellar radius of $R_{\star}=0.726\pm0.014 R_{\odot}$. We also derived the stellar density from the transits light curves ($ρ_{\star}=1.82\pm0.19 ρ_{\odot}$), which finally gives a direct estimate of the mass ($M_{\star}=0.696\pm0.078 M_{\odot}$) with a correlation of 0.46 between $R_{\star}$ and $M_{\star}$. This new mass is smaller than that derived from the C2kSMO stellar evolutionary model, which provides a mass range of 0.755$-$0.810 ($\pm 0.040$) $M_{\odot}$. This allows us to infer the mass, radius and density of the two transiting exoplanets of the system. We then use an inference model to obtain the internal parameters of these two transiting exoplanets. Moreover, we find that planet $b$ and $c$ have smaller radii than previously estimated ($1.500\pm0.057$ and $1.415\pm0.049 R_{\oplus}$, respectively); this clearly puts these planets out of the gap in the exoplanetary radii distribution and validates their super-Earth nature. Planet $b$ is more massive than planet $c$, but possibly less dense. We investigate whether this could be caused by partial melting of the mantle and find that tidal heating due to non-zero eccentricity of planet $b$ may be powerful enough. The system of HD219134 constitutes a very valuable benchmark for both stellar physics and exoplanetary science. The direct determination of the stellar density, radius and mass should be more extensively applied to provide accurate exoplanets properties and calibrate stellar models.

description: L’extension spatiale de N’Djamena, due à l’accroissement démographique, s’accompagne de la création spontanée des marchés de poisson sur des sites inappropriés et dont le fonctionnement pose problème à l’environnement urbain. Ce travail vise à analyser l’organisation spatiale des marchés de poisson de la ville de N’Djamena en vue d’évaluer le désordre qu’ils créent. La démarche méthodologique s’est basée sur les entretiens, l’exploitation des documents, l’observation des marchés de poisson et les enquêtes auprès des vendeurs. Les données collectées ont été traitées puis traduites sous formes de textes ou graphiques. Il en ressort que plus de dix acteurs interviennent dans l’organisation de ces marchés, mais ces espaces demeurent mal organisés et créent le désordre : embouteillages, 4 cas d’accidents sur la voie publique en moyenne par jour, vols et agressions. Cependant, en vue d’une meilleure organisation de ces espaces, les acteurs de désordre doivent être conscientisés et responsabilisés dans la gestion.

description: It is shown that the rare decays $Z \to ν\bar{nu} γ$ and $Z \to ν\barν γγ$ are useful to put model-independent bounds on neutrino-one-photon and neutrino-two-photon interactions. The results are then used to constrain the $τ$ neutrino magnetic moment and the double radiative decay $ν_j \to ν_i γγ$. It is found that the decay $Z \to ν\bar{nu} γ$ gives a more stringent bound on the $τ$ neutrino magnetic moment than that obtained from $Z \to ν\barν γγ$; the latter decay in turn gives limits on the neutrino-two-photon interaction that are less stringent than those obtained for a sterile neutrino $ν_s$ from the analysis of $ν_μN \to ν_s N$ conversion.

description: Abstract: We present SVclone, a computational method for inferring the cancer cell fraction of structural variant (SV) breakpoints from whole-genome sequencing data. SVclone accurately determines the variant allele frequencies of both SV breakends, then simultaneously estimates the cancer cell fraction and SV copy number. We assess performance using in silico mixtures of real samples, at known proportions, created from two clonal metastases from the same patient. We find that SVclone’s performance is comparable to single-nucleotide variant-based methods, despite having an order of magnitude fewer data points. As part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) consortium, which aggregated whole-genome sequencing data from 2658 cancers across 38 tumour types, we use SVclone to reveal a subset of liver, ovarian and pancreatic cancers with subclonally enriched copy-number neutral rearrangements that show decreased overall survival. SVclone enables improved characterisation of SV intra-tumour heterogeneity.

description: We investigate the measurement of Hanbury Brown-Twiss (HBT) photon correlations as an experimental tool to discriminate different sources of photon enhancement, which are proposed to simultaneously reproduce the direct photon yield and the azimuthal anisotropy measured in nuclear collisions at RHIC and the LHC. To showcase this, we consider two different scenarios in which we enhance the yields from standard hydrodynamical simulations. In the first, additional photons are produced from the early pre-equilibrium stage computed from the \textit{bottom-up} thermalization scenario. In the second, the thermal rates are enhanced close to the pseudo-critical temperature $T_c\approx 155\,\text{MeV}$ using a phenomenological ansatz. We compute the correlators for relative momenta $q_o, \,q_s$ and $q_l$ for different transverse pair momenta, $K_\perp$, and find that the longitudinal correlation is the most sensitive to different photon sources. Our results also demonstrate that including anisotropic pre-equilibrium rates enhances non-Gaussianities in the correlators, which can be quantified using the kurtosis of the correlators. Finally, we study the feasibility of measuring a direct photon HBT signal in the upcoming high-luminosity LHC runs. Considering only statistical uncertainties, we find that with the projected $\sim 10^{10}$ heavy ion events a measurement of the HBT correlations for $K_\perp<1\, \text{GeV}$ is statistically significant.

description: While traditional microbiological freshwater tests focus on the detection of specific bacterial indicator species, including pathogens, direct tracing of all aquatic DNA through metagenomics poses a profound alternative. Yet, in situ metagenomic water surveys face substantial challenges in cost and logistics. Here, we present a simple, fast, cost-effective and remotely accessible freshwater diagnostics workflow centred around the portable nanopore sequencing technology. Using defined compositions and spatiotemporal microbiota from surface water of an example river in Cambridge (UK), we provide optimised experimental and bioinformatics guidelines, including a benchmark with twelve taxonomic classification tools for nanopore sequences. We find that nanopore metagenomics can depict the hydrological core microbiome and fine temporal gradients in line with complementary physicochemical measurements. In a public health context, these data feature relevant sewage signals and pathogen maps at species level resolution. We anticipate that this framework will gather momentum for new environmental monitoring initiatives using portable devices.

Conductance fluctuations and weak localization in chaotic quantum dots

description: We study the conductance statistical features of ballistic electrons flowing through a chaotic quantum dot. We show how the temperature affects the universal conductance fluctuations by analyzing the influence of dephasing and thermal smearing. This leads us to two main findings. First, we show that the energy correlations in the transmission, which were overlooked so far, are important for calculating the variance and higher moments of the conductance. Second, we show that there is an ambiguity in the method of determination of the dephasing rate from the size of the of the weak localization. We find that the dephasing times obtained at low temperatures from quantum dots are underestimated.

description: This study aimed to analyze the contractual relationship between processing industry in Rio Verde (Goias, Brazil) and farmers, using a Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) approach to describe relevant aspects of producers’ perception of dependence to the contracting processor. We considered the two classical analytic categories: (a) behavioral assumptions (bounded rationality and opportunism) and (b) attributes of transactions (asset specificity, frequency and uncertainty). Our findings are based on a survey with 40 farmers providing poultry to the contracting processor. Key findings are that changes in the structure of governance that manages the transaction between poultry producers and processors are efficient responses to the growth of specificity due to dedicated assets. For farmers, there is lack of information about contract content. This may enable opportunistic behavior of contracting processor. We conclude that farmers’ dependence to processors is high on specialized small-scale farms and low for more diversified and larger farms.

description: Plants and insects often use the same compounds for chemical communication, but not much is known about the genetics of convergent evolution of chemical signals. The terpene (E)-β-ocimene is a common component of floral scent and is also used by the butterfly Heliconius melpomene as an anti-aphrodisiac pheromone. While the biosynthesis of terpenes has been described in plants and microorganisms, few terpene synthases (TPSs) have been identified in insects. Here, we study the recent divergence of 2 species, H. melpomene and Heliconius cydno, which differ in the presence of (E)-β-ocimene; combining linkage mapping, gene expression, and functional analyses, we identify 2 novel TPSs. Furthermore, we demonstrate that one, HmelOS, is able to synthesise (E)-β-ocimene in vitro. We find no evidence for TPS activity in HcydOS (HmelOS ortholog of H. cydno), suggesting that the loss of (E)-β-ocimene in this species is the result of coding, not regulatory, differences. The TPS enzymes we discovered are unrelated to previously described plant and insect TPSs, demonstrating that chemical convergence has independent evolutionary origins.
Evolution equations for the perturbations of slowly rotating relativistic stars

description: We present a new derivation of the equations governing the oscillations of slowly rotating relativistic stars. Previous investigations have been mostly carried out in the Regge-Wheeler gauge. However, in this gauge the process of linearizing the Einstein field equations leads to perturbation equations which as such cannot be used to perform numerical time evolutions. It is only through the tedious process of combining and rearranging the perturbation variables in a clever way that the system can be cast into a set of hyperbolic first order equations, which is then well suited for the numerical integration. The equations remain quite lengthy, and we therefore rederive the perturbation equations in a different gauge, which has been first proposed by Battiston et al. (1970). Using the ADM formalism, one is immediately lead to a first order hyperbolic evolution system, which is remarkably simple and can be numerically integrated without many further manipulations. Moreover, the symmetry between the polar and the axial equations becomes directly apparent.
