 Material examined. Holotype: ♂,  CHINA, Shaanxi Province:  Taibai Shan (Mt.), above Houshenzi, 18 June 1997, leg. J. Martens & P. Jäger (SMF).
 Diagnosis. Males of this new species resemble those of M. montana sp. nov. from northern Thailand in having a similar palpal morphology; they can be distinguished by the more elongated lateral ramus of the embolus almost touching the conductor, the broader mesal ramus, the triangular apico-retrolateral fold of the TA pointing mesad, situated next to transverse mesal ridge (Figs 1239, 1244). It appears to be sufficiently distinct from males of M. montana sp. nov. to warrant its species status.

description: The cut number of a manifold M, c(M), is the largest number of disjoint two-sided hypersurfaces in M which do not separate M. Equivalently, it is the largest rank of a free group being an epimorphic image of pi_1(M). We investigate the relations between the cut number and the first Betti number, b_1(M), of 3-manifolds M. We prove that the cut number of a ``generic'' 3-manifold is at most 2. This is a rather unexpected result since it is very hard to construct specific examples of 3-manifolds with with large b_1(M) and small c(M). On the other hand, we prove that for any complex semisimple Lie algebra g there exists a 3-manifold M with b_1(M)=dim g and c(M)<=rank g. Such manifolds can be explicitly constructed.

description: The paper presents the design and measurement results of a transient waveform recording ASIC based on the Switched Capacitor Array (SCA) architecture. This 0.18 μm CMOS prototype device contains two channels and each channel employs a SCA of 128 samples deep, a 12-bit Wilkinson ADC and a serial data readout. A series of tests have been conducted and the results indicate that: a full 1 V signal voltage range is available, the input analog bandwidth is approximately 450 MHz and the sampling speed is adjustable from 0.076 to 3.2 Gsps (Gigabit Samples Per Second). For precision waveform timing extraction, careful calibration of timing intervals between samples is conducted to improve the timing resolution of such chips, and the timing precision of this ASIC is proved to be better than 15 ps RMS.

description: The article analyzes the problems of bridging the digital divide in Ukraine, noting that its solution is inextricably linked with the formation of a digital society. It is established that the formation of the digital society is due to the rapid development of modern scientific and technological advances that create and shape a fundamentally new society. In such a society, new transformations are taking place in various processes of human life. it is substantiated that the state regional policy on overcoming digital inequality should be built in such a way as to improve people's lives, economic prosperity, equality and inclusiveness as soon as possible. The government should develop guidelines for state regional policy in this area and take measures to reduce socio-economic disparities in the territories. Developing appropriate policies and providing economic incentives to foster innovation and create new markets will help bridge the digital divide, increase new employment opportunities, and ultimately improve the quality of life. Developing policies aimed at adapting the education system to changing labor markets and encouraging affordable digital skills training, deregulating the telecommunications industry, encouraging the use of the Internet and information and communication technologies should be key to digital transformation in Ukraine.

description: Magnetic reconnection is a process whereby magnetic field lines in different directions "reconnect" with each other, resulting in the rearrangement of magnetic field topology together with the conversion of magnetic field energy into the kinetic energy (K.E.) of energetic particles. This process occurs in magnetized astronomical plasmas, such as those in the solar corona, Earth's magnetosphere, and active galactic nuclei, and accounts for various phenomena, such as solar flares, energetic particle acceleration, and powering of photon emission. In the present study, we report the experimental demonstration of magnetic reconnection under relativistic electron magnetization situation, along with the observation of power-law distributed outflow in both electron and proton energy spectra. Through irradiation of an intense laser on a "micro-coil", relativistically magnetized plasma was produced and magnetic reconnection was performed with maximum magnetic field 3 kT. In the downstream outflow direction, the non-thermal component is observed in the high-energy part of both electron and proton spectra, with a significantly harder power-law slope of the electron spectrum (p = 1.535 +/- 0.015) that is similar to the electron injection model proposed to explain a hard emission tail of Cygnus X-1, a galactic X-ray source with the same order of magnetization. The obtained result showed experimentally that the magnetization condition in the emitting region of a galactic X-ray source is sufficient to build a hard electron population through magnetic reconnection.

description: The most tangible outcome of a breeding program of any type is increased yield; however, breeding for biotic stresses (maintenance breeding) generally results in pathogen resistance, which can be viewed as mitigating potential crop losses. Economists tend to undervalue the opportunity cost of this type of agricultural research. This study estimates the loss (volume and revenue) in rice production in the Mid-South attributed to the presence of sheath blight, a common fungus in the US. We then ask the counterfactual question: what would the implications be if sheath blight was not present in US rice production. To do this we estimated the additional rice supply from sheath blight resistance and entered it into the RiceFlow model. The RiceFlow model generates global estimates of changes in rice price given an increase supply, as well as changes in consumer and producer welfare. Finally, the counterfactual increased yield and decreased fungicide usage from the absence of sheath blight were analyzed in a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) model to assess the environmental impact that would have resulted if sheath blight was not present. These results provide insight on how potential genetic resistance to sheath blight could affect producer livelihoods, food security, and environmental sustainability.

description: Background: Since 1990, there has been a global increase in the incidence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). As a result, there are additional demands for assessment, diagnostic, and treatment services, already identified as being inadequate in many jurisdictions. Early identification and diagnosis of ASD is a priority because the best chance of improving symptoms occurs through early and intensive interventions. A definitive diagnosis is often a prerequisite for children to access publicly funded healthcare services when available. Yet obtaining a diagnosis in itself can be stressful, frustrating, and time-consuming for many parents. It is important to understand parents’ experiences and the barriers they face in the process of accessing autism spectrum disorder diagnostic services for their children. Aim: To examine parents’ experiences in accessing autism spectrum disorder diagnostic services for their children and the barriers they face in that process. Methods: Qualitative research methodologies were used that included: grounded theory, descriptive exploratory methods, and the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology for systematic reviews of qualitative evidence. Analysis of interview data included constant comparative analysis, reflexive thematic analysis, and systematic data synthesis. A total of 32 parents and caregivers of children and youth diagnosed with ASD participated in in-depth, semi-structured interviews. The systematic review included 36 studies that varied in qualitative research designs with high methodological quality. Results: Parents’ experiences in accessing timely autism spectrum diagnostic services are impacted by factors that include: parents’ skills and capacity to advocate on their child’s behalf, severity of the disorder, time commitments involved in parenting a child with the disorder, perceived stigma related to their child’s diagnosis, delays in accessing diagnosis and supportive services, lack of information provided to them by healthcare practitioners, lack of availability of diagnostic services, encountering healthcare professionals with a lack of specialized knowledge, experienced confusion surrounding inaccurate or mixed diagnosis relating to co-morbidities, and socioeconomic and cultural disparities. Conclusions: There is a need to address wait times for services, and provide education and support services to parents and healthcare providers. These support services should focus on improving self-advocacy skills and reducing contextual and systemic barriers to accessing autism spectrum disorder diagnostic services including socioeconomic and cultural disparities. Study findings indicate further recommendations for policy, practice and research.

description: We develop a Green's function method to evaluate the exact equilibrium particle-density profiles of noninteracting Fermi gases in external harmonic confinement in any spatial dimension and for arbitrary trap anisotropy. While in a spherically symmetric configuration the shell effects are negligible in the case of large number of particles, we find that for very anisotropic traps the quantum effects due to single-level occupancy and the deviations from the Thomas-Fermi approximation are visible also for mesoscopic clouds.

description: As the construction industry increasingly prioritises eco-friendly and sustainable practices, there is a growing demand for engineered wood products (EWP). The Queensland Government Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (QDAF) is working with key industry partners towards the commercialisation of spotted gum (SPG) glulam, a very dense hardwood species in Queensland with high mechanical properties. However, SPG glulam cannot be manufactured confidently since it typically fails the bond integrity test outlined in Australia and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1328.1 (1998) for external products. The test, referred to as "delamination test", consists of a vacuum impregnation wetting and a kiln drying process, aiming to assess the glulam's adaptability to environmental change. Due to the SPG species presenting poor adhesive penetration, high level of extractive, low wettability and minimal permeability, SPG boards are difficult to glue (poor adhesion). To promote the development of SPG glulam and help it be confidentially commercialised for external applications, Leggate et al. (2022b) made their best effort to physically improve the SPG gluability. However, and despite significant findings in improving adhesion, the delamination issue still exists. Therefore, the research focuses on a mechanical approach to reduce the stress in the samples during the delamination test to prevent cracks to propagate through the gluelines. This study aims to develop a numerical model that can reproduce the delamination test and analyse the delamination process. The delamination model couples four sub-models (1) a heat and mass transfer model, (2) a moisture-induced stress model and (3) two failure mechanical models. The model required SPG physical parameters, such as porosity, fibre saturation point and diffusion coefficient for the heat and mass transfer equations, were extracted from literature. Similarly, some SPG mechanical properties, such as elastic modulus, shear modulus and strength, are also available from previous research. However, the SPG fracture properties for crack initiation and propagation have not been previously measured, and their correlation with moisture content remains unknown. Consequently, experiments were conducted to investigate the fracture properties of both SPG boards and SPG glulam under various failure modes and moisture content conditions. From these fracture tests, it is found that the SPG and its glulam fracture properties are not sensitive to moisture content. [...]

The Dust Opacity of Star-Forming Galaxies

description: Presence of dust in galaxies removes half or more of the stellar energy from the UV-optical budget of the Universe and has profound impact on our understanding of how galaxies evolve. Measures of opacity in local galaxies are reviewed together with widely used theoretical and empirical methods for quantifying its effects. Existing evidence shows that the dust content of nearby galaxies depends not only on their morphology, but also on their luminosity and activity level. A digression is devoted to starbursts in view of their potential relevance for measures of opacity in distant galaxies. Scarcity of coherent multiwavelength datasets hampers our ability to derive reliable obscuration estimates in intermediate and high redshift galaxies. This, in turn, limits the reliability of inferred physical quantities, such as star formation rates, stellar population ages, galaxy luminosity functions, and others.

description: Metamaterials and metasurfaces have given possibilities for manipulating electromagnetic (EM) waves that in the past would have seemed impossible. The majority of metasurface designs are suitable for a particular frequency and angle of incidence. One long-sought objective is the design of programmable metasurfaces to dynamically manipulate a variety of incoming EM frequencies and angles. In order to do this, a large-scale mesh of networked chips are required below the metasurface, which apart from adapting electrical impedance properties, also communicate with each other, thus relaying information about meta-atom settings, as well as forwarding possible distributed measurements taken. This paper describes why an asynchronous mixed-signal ASIC is advantageous for the control of scalable, EM absorbing, metasurfaces.
The Formation of Low-Mass Cluster Galaxies and the Universal Initial Galaxy Mass Function
Creators: name: Conselice, Christopher J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Clusters of galaxies have an observed over-density of low-luminosity systems in comparison to the field, although it is not yet agreed whether this effect is the result of initial galaxy mass functions that vary with environment or galaxy evolutionary effects. In this letter we argue that this over-density is the result of low-mass systems with red colors that are over-populating the faint-end of the observed luminosity function in the nearby rich cluster Abell 0426. We show that the luminosity function of Abell 0426 becomes steeper, from the field value alpha = -1.25+/-0.05 to alpha=-1.44+/-0.04, due to a recently identified population of red low-mass cluster galaxies that are possibly the remnants of dynamical stripped high-mass systems. We further demonstrate, through simple models of stripping effects, how cluster luminosity functions can become artificially steep over time from the production of these low-mass cluster galaxies.

description: The use of surface water to replace groundwater for irrigation is often viewed as an effective approach for reducing groundwater overdraft on an agricultural landscape. The expected increase in the aquifer volume in the presence of surface water does not occur unless the off-farm water price is low enough to generate a significant shift away from groundwater. There is a change in the crop pattern toward more irrigation intensive crops, and the net effect can be a rise in groundwater extraction.

It is shown that the X-ray luminosity of the black hole did not exceed L(3-20 keV)<3e33(d/1kpc)^2 ergs/s (where d is the distance to the black hole). Near the maximum of the background star amplification by the microlens (July 6, 1999), the upper limit on the X-ray flux corresponds to an X-ray luminosity L(3-20 keV)<7e33(d/1kpc)^2 ergs/s.

description: Nanoparticles (NPs) as drug delivery platforms encounter numerous obstacles on their journey from administration to the target site. Often, diametrically opposing particle properties are desirable to overcome biological and physical barriers. Therefore, stimuli-responsive NPs have been developed to allow for specific particle adaptation. In this work, it was demonstrated that NPs can be rendered switchable with respect to their interaction with a receptor through an external chemical stimulus. A combination of the inverse electron-demand Diels-Alder (iEDDA) reaction for subsequent NP functionalization and ectoenzyme-based ligand activation allowed for specific particle tailoring. Building on this, a two-step process for target cell recognition was developed. First, NPs were functionalized with Angiotensin-I (Ang-I) as inactive ligand using iEDDA chemistry. At the target site, the ligand was enzymatically processed to Angiotensin-ll (Ang-II) by cellular ectoenzymes. Ang-ll binds as active ligand to the angiotensin ll type 1 (AT1) receptor on the target cell surface. This enzymatic activation aims to minimize the biological effect of the ligand prior to particle binding, while the NP target cell specificity is increased by a two-step recognition with enzymatic processing and receptor bindin

description: We consider the $U(1)$ gauged two-component Friedberg-Lee-Sirlin model in 3+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime, which supports non-topological soliton configurations. Here we found families of axially-symmetric spinning gauged Q-balls, which possess both electric and magnetic fields. The coupling to the gauge sector gives rise to a new branch of solutions, which represent the soliton configuration coupled to a circular magnetic flux. Further, in superconducting phase this branch is linked to vorton type solutions which represent a vortex encircling the soliton. We discuss properties of these solutions and investigate their domains of existence.

description: We analyse the effect of a continuous spread of particle lengths on the phase behavior of rodlike particles, using the Onsager theory of hard rods. Our aim is to establish whether ``unusual'' effects such as isotropic-nematic-nematic (I-N-N) phase separation can occur even for length distributions with a single peak. We focus on the onset of I-N coexistence. For a log-normal distribution we find that a finite upper cutoff on rod lengths is required to make this problem well-posed. The cloud curve, which tracks the density at the onset of I-N coexistence as a function of the width of the length distribution, exhibits a kink; this demonstrates that the phase diagram must contain a three-phase I-N-N region. Theoretical analysis shows that in the limit of large cutoff the cloud point density actually converges to zero, so that phase separation results at any nonzero density; this conclusion applies to all length distributions with fatter-than-exponentail tails. Finally we consider the case of a Schulz distribution, with its exponential tail. Surprisingly, even here the long rods (and hence the cutoff) can dominate the phase behaviour, and a kink in the cloud curve and I-N-N coexistence again result. Theory establishes that there is a nonzero threshold for the width of the length distribution above which these long rod effects occur, and shows that the cloud and shadow curves approach nonzero limits for large cutoff, both in good agreement with the numerical results.

description: We have carried out a set of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations that follow galaxy formation in $f(R)$ modified gravity models. Our simulations employ the Illustris-TNG full physics model and a new modified gravity solver in the AREPO code. For the first time we are able to investigate the degeneracy in the matter power spectrum between the effects of $f(R)$-gravity and feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN), and the imprint of modified gravity on the properties of galaxies and on the distribution of dark matter, gas and stars in the universe. $f(R)$-gravity has an observable effect on the neutral hydrogen power spectrum at high redshift at a level of 20%. For both the F6 and F5 models, this is significantly larger than the predicted errors for the SKA1-MID survey, making this probe a powerful test of gravity on large scales. A similar effect is present in the power spectrum of the stars at high redshift. We also show that rotationally supported disc galaxies can form in $f(R)$-gravity, even in the partially screened regime. Our simulations indicate that there might be more disc galaxies in F6 compared to GR, and fewer in F5. Finally, we show that the back reaction between AGN feedback and modified gravity in the matter power spectrum is not important in the F6 model but has a sizeable effect in F5.

description: Environmental sustainability in sport has gained increased global attention, yet the extent of its integration in the Australian sport sector remains unknown. The Australian context is particularly relevant because environmental sustainability in sport is gaining momentum with the commitment by the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games Organising Committee to deliver a climate-positive Games, and the social and economic impacts of recent floods, bushfires, and heatwaves on sport participation and infrastructure. Therefore, this research explores how environmental sustainability is embedded within Australian Olympic sports organisations. While policy could support a coordinated and comprehensive sectoral transition to environmentally sustainable modes of operation, a systematic literature review conducted as part of this research demonstrated that studies on environmental policy in sport were scarce. The overall literature on environmental sustainability in sport presented significant geographic and organisational contextual limitations. Building on environmental policy in sport literature and international calls to improve sectoral responses to environmental issues, this research adopted environmental policy integration and Actor-Network Theory lenses to assess the extent environmental policy is integrated within national sports organisations (NSOs) that are part of the Australian Olympic Movement and the network dynamics enacting observed environmental commitments.

Dust clouds or magnetic spots? Exploring the atmospheres of L dwarfs with time-resolved spectrophotometry

description: I present the results of a program to spectrophotometrically monitor the L1.5 dwarf 2MASSW J1145572+231730 to identify the cause of photospheric variability in ultra cool dwarfs. Plausible candidates are magnetically-induced star spots and inhomogeneous photospheric dust clouds. Based on the atmospheric models and synthetic spectra of Allard et al. (2001), the expected signatures of these phenomena in the 0.5-2.5 um wavelength region are presented and discussed. Near infrared spectra of 2M1145 were obtained along with a nearby reference star observed simultaneously in the spectrograph slit. No convincing variability over a 54 hour interval is found in any one of several colour indices designed to be most sensitive to dust- and spot-related variability. Nonetheless, a significant correlation between the variability of two colour indices is found. This is slightly more consistent with the dust-related variability model than the cool spot one considered. Based on the theoretically predicted signatures and the median errors in the colour indices (0.03-0.05 magnitudes), upper limits are placed on the coverage of possible spots and clouds. Assuming the L dwarf to be best modelled by a dusty atmosphere at 1900K, coherent clear clouds are limited to a coverage of 10-15% of the projected surface area and 200K cooler spots to a 20% coverage. A larger coverage of many small features varying incoherently cannot be ruled out with this method. A lower effective temperature restricts coherent clear clouds to be much smaller; a higher temperature allows both clouds and spots to be larger. These upper limits are consistent with the two separate variability detections in the I-band reported by Bailer-Jones & Mundt (2001).

description: The spectrum of coherent modes for dilute atomic Bose gas, confined in a cylindrical trap, is calculated by applying optimized perturbation theory and the technique of self-similar root approximants. The latter technique makes it possible to derive accurate analytical formulas. The obtained expressions are valid for arbitrary energy levels of all excited nonlinear coherent modes and for different traps, spherical, sigar-shape, and disk-shape.

Termination of planetary accretion due to gap formation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The process of gap formation by a growing planetary embryo embedded in a planetesimal disk is considered. It is shown that there exists a single parameter characterizing this process, which represents the competition between the gravitational influence of the embryo and planetesimal-planetesimal scattering. For realistic assumptions about the properties of the planetesimal disk and the planetary embryo, a gap is opened long before the embryo can accrete all the bodies within its region of influence. The implication of this result is that the embryo stops growing and, thus, large bodies formed during the coagulation stage should be less massive than is usually assumed. For conditions expected at 1 AU in the solar protoplanetary disk, gap formation is expected to occur around bodies of mass < 10^24 g. The effect of protoplanetary radial migration is also discussed.

description: Parity-time (PT) symmetry has attracted a lot of attention since the concept of pseudo-Hermitian dynamics of open quantum systems was first demonstrated two decades ago. Contrary to their Hermitian counterparts, non-conservative environments a priori do not show real energy eigenvalues and unitary evolution. However, if PT-symmetry requirements are satisfied, even dissipative systems can exhibit real energy eigenvalues, thus ensuring energy conservation in the temporal average. In optics, PT-symmetry can be readily introduced by incorporating, in a balanced way, regions having optical gain and loss. However, all optical realizations have been restricted so far to a single transverse dimension (1D) such as optical waveguide arrays. In many cases, only losses were modulated relying on a scaling argument being valid for linear systems only. Both restrictions crucially limit potential applications. Here, we present an experimental platform for investigating the interplay of PT-symmetry and nonlinearity in two dimensions (2D) and observe nonlinear localization and soliton formation. Contrary to the typical dissipative solitons, we find a one-parametric family of solitons which exhibit properties similar to its conservative counterpart. In the limit of high optical power, the solitons collapse on a discrete network and give rise to an amplified, self-accelerating field.
