description: We analyze the production of the element Cr in galactic chemical evolution (GCE) models using the NuGrid nucleosynthesis yields set. We show that the unusually large [Cr/Fe] abundance at [Fe/H] $\approx 0$ reported by previous studies using those yields and predicted by our Milky Way model originates from the merging of convective Si-burning and C-burning shells in a 20 $M_\odot$ model at metallicity $Z=0.01$, about an hour before the star explodes. This merger mixes the incomplete burning material in the Si shell, including $^{51}$V and $^{52}$Cr, out to the edge of the carbon/oxygen (CO) core. The adopted supernova model ejects the outer 2 $M_\odot$ of the CO core, which includes a significant fraction of the Cr-rich material. When including this 20 $M_\odot$ model at $Z=0.01$ in the yields interpolation scheme of our GCE model for stars in between 15 and 25 $M_\odot$, we overestimate [Cr/Fe] by an order of magnitude at [Fe/H] $\approx$ 0 relative to observations in the Galactic disk. This raises a number of questions regarding the occurrence of Si-C shell mergers in nature, the accuracy of different simulation approaches, and the impact of such mergers on the pre-supernova structure and explosion dynamics. According to the conditions in this 1D stellar model, the substantial penetration of C-shell material into the Si-shell could launch a convective-reactive global oscillation, if a merger does take place. In any case, GCE provides stringent constraints on the outcome of this stellar evolution phase.

description: The problem of adequate electronic model for doped manganites like La_{1-x}Sr_{x}MnO_3 remains controversial. In such a situation we argue a necessity to discuss all possible candidate states with different valent structure of manganese and oxygen atoms, as well as different valent states of octahedral MnO_{6} centers. In frames of quantum-chemical approach, crystal field and the ligand field models we address different types of MnO_6 centers, different types of d-d, and charge transfer transitions. We draw special attention to the so-called charge transfer states related to strong intra-center charge fluctuations. As we conjecture, namely these could become active valent states for doped manganites. We discuss some electric and magnetic properties of the electron MnO_{6}^{10-}, and hole MnO_{6}^{8-} centers with unconventional ^{6}A_{1g}-{}^{6}T_{1u} and ^{4}A_{2g}-{}^{4}T_{2u} valent manifolds, respectively. We propose two idealized theoretical models for hole system in doped manganites with an overall oxygen localization for the doped holes occupying the non-bonding O2p orbitals, and a doping induced formation of a system of the electron MnO_{6}^{10-} and hole MnO_{6}^{8-} centers being equivalent to the electron-hole Bose liquid.

description: The exploration and development of oilfield results in damages to land resources. Along with the further development of petroleum in the Gurbantunggut Desert, the fragile ecological environment and land resource was suffering much more damage. Vegetation degradation and desertification become more prominent. In response to the damage to the fragile ecological environment and oilfield in the Gurbantunggut Desert, limit condition method was used to evaluate the suitability of land reclamation suitability. Results suggested that the main restraining factors for land reclamation were soil condition and water resources. Based on the effect and shortage of oilfield in the Gurbantunggut Desert Oilfield, the reclamation of oilfield in the Gurbantunggut desert was discussed.

description: We study super-Chern-Simons theory on a generic supermanifold. After a self-contained review of integration on supermanifolds, the complexes of forms (superforms, pseudo-forms and integral forms) and the extended Cartan calculus are discussed. We then introduce Picture Changing Operators. We provide several examples of computation of PCO's acting on different type of forms. We illustrate also the action of the $η$ operator, crucial ingredient to define the interactions of super Chern-Simons theory. Then, we discuss the action for super Chern-Simons theory on any supermanifold, first in the factorized form (3-form $\times$ PCO) and then, we consider the most general expression. The latter is written in term of psuedo-forms containing an infinite number of components. We show that the free equations of motion reduce to the usual Chern-Simons equations yielding the proof of the equivalence between the formulations at different pictures of the same theory. Finally, we discuss the interaction terms. They require a suitable definition in order to take into account the picture number. That implies the construction of a 2-product which is not associative that inherits an $A_\infty$ algebra structure. That shares several similarities with a recent construction of a super string field theory action by Erler, Konopka and Sachs.

Mixed quantum state detection with inconclusive results

description: We consider the problem of designing an optimal quantum detector with a fixed rate of inconclusive results that maximizes the probability of correct detection, when distinguishing between a collection of mixed quantum states. We develop a sufficient condition for the scaled inverse measurement to maximize the probability of correct detection for the case in which the rate of inconclusive results exceeds a certain threshold. Using this condition we derive the optimal measurement for linearly independent pure-state sets, and for mixed-state sets with a broad class of symmetries. Specifically, we consider geometrically uniform (GU) state sets and compound geometrically uniform (CGU) state sets with generators that satisfy a certain constraint. We then show that the optimal measurements corresponding to GU and CGU state sets with arbitrary generators are also GU and CGU respectively, with generators that can be computed very efficiently in polynomial time within any desired accuracy by solving a semidefinite programming problem.

description: In this paper we study how dynamical chiral symmetry breaking is affected by nonzero chiral chemical potential in Dirac semimetals. To perform this study we applied lattice quantum Monte Carlo simulations of Dirac semimetals. Within lattice simulation we calculated the chiral condensate for various fermion masses, the chiral chemical potentials and effective coupling constants. For all parameters under consideration we have found that the chiral condensate is enhanced by chiral chemical potential. Thus our results confirms that in Dirac semimetals the chiral chemical potential plays a role of the catalyst of the dynamical chiral symmetry breaking.

description: We present very faint dropout galaxies at z~6-9 with a stellar mass M* down to M*~10^6Mo that are found in deep optical/near-infrared (NIR) images of the full data sets of the Hubble Frontier Fields (HFF) program in conjunction with deep ground-based and Spitzer images and gravitational lensing magnification effects. We investigate stellar populations of the HFF dropout galaxies with the optical/NIR photometry and BEAGLE models made of self-consistent stellar population synthesis and photoionization models, carefully including strong nebular emission impacting on the photometry. We identify 357 galaxies with M*~10^6-10^9Mo, and find that a stellar mass to UV luminosity L_UV ratio M*/L_UV is nearly constant at M*~10^6-10^9Mo. Our best-estimate M*/L_UV function is comparable to a model of star-formation duration time of 100 Myr, but 2-7 times higher than the one of 10 Myr assumed in a previous study (at the 5sigma level) that would probably underestimate M* of faint galaxies. We derive the galaxy stellar mass functions (GSMFs) at z~6-9 that agree with those obtained by previous studies with no M*/L_UV assumptions at M*>~10^8Mo, and that extends to M*~10^6Mo. Estimating the stellar mass densities rho* with the GSMFs, we find that rho* smoothly increases from log(rho*/[Mo Mpc^(-3)])=5.91 +0.75/-0.65 at z~9 to 6.21 +0.39/-0.37 at z~6-7, which is consistent with the one estimated from star-formation rate density measurements. In conjunction with the estimates of the galaxy effective radii R_e on the source plane, we have pinpointed two objects with low stellar masses (M*<=10^7Mo) and very compact morphologies (R_e<=40 physical pc) that are comparable with those of globular clusters (GCs) in the Milky Way today. These objects are candidates of star clusters that should be a part or a dominant component of high-redshift low-mass galaxy, some of which may be related to GCs today.
Theory of Type-II Superconductors with Finite London Penetration Depth

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Previous continuum theory of type-II superconductors of various shapes with and without vortex pinning in an applied magnetic field and with transport current, is generalized to account for a finite London penetration depth lambda. This extension is particularly important at low inductions B, where the transition to the Meissner state is now described correctly, and for films with thickness comparable to or smaller than lambda. The finite width of the surface layer with screening currents and the correct dc and ac responses in various geometries follow naturally from an equation of motion for the current density in which the integral kernel now accounts for finite lambda. New geometries considered here are thick and thin strips with applied current, and `washers', i.e. thin film squares with a slot and central hole as used for SQUIDs.

description: The aim of this paper is to present the analysis of spatial diversifi cation in the labour input in agriculture on the basis of these selected indicators: annual work unit (AWU) per 100 ha agricultural acreage; number of people per AWU; and comparison of labour input to EU-15 standards (LI-EU). Agricultural holdings have been categorised by size into three groups: 0–10 ha (small), 10–20 ha (average), and over 20 ha (large). Labour resources were subject to a comparative study of the density rates of AWUs per 100 ha agricultural acreage in Poland and the EU (EU-15). The analysis covered all of Poland with consideration of the administrative division into sixteen voivodeships (tabular analysis) and 314 poviats (townships and country districts together, including regional offi ces of the Agency for Restructuring and Modernisation of Agriculture (ARiMR); cartographic analysis). The results of the Agricultural Census of 2010 were used in the study. It demonstrated a signifi cant spatial diversifi cation in labour input in agriculture in general and in each holding size group. Predominantly, the diff erences are related to historical and political factors. The analysis corroborated agrarian overpopulation in south-east Poland.

description: ‘Obesogens’ are chemical agents that improperly regulate the genes involved in glucose metabolism and adipocyte differentiation and promote lipid accumulation and adipogenesis. The human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) is a steroid hormone triggered transcriptional factor and regulates target genes important in basal glucose homeostasis. Molecular docking analysis was performed in order to assess in-silico structure based toxic effects of high molecular weight phthalates dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP) and its monophthalate metabolite mono-cyclohexyl phthalate (MCHP). Molecular docking results show that the binding affinities of DCHP and MCHP lie in the comparable range (−7.87 kcal/mol and −6.24 kcal/mol) with Dexamethasone (−10.2 kcal/mol), a potent agonist for hGR. These two PAEs occupy the active site of hGR and interact with the key residues. Molecular simulation results infer that hGR-PAEs complexes were stable. Density functional theory (DFT) analysis indicates that HOMO and LUMO energy gap of DCHP (3.88 eV) and MCHP (3.39 eV) are comparable to DEX (4.69 eV). Binding free energy calculations of the DCHP-hGR and MCHP-hGR complexes were estimated by using Molecular Mechanic/Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MMPBSA) method. Molecular Docking and simulation results emphasise that DCHP and MCHP can efficiently bind to hGR, which further leads to glucocorticoid-mediated adipogenesis in a synergistic manner.

description: In a knowledge-based economy, innovativeness is a quality desired on the labour market. It may increase young people’s employment opportunities. The article discusses the issue of young rural residents’ attitudes towards their own innovativeness. It presents the results of sociological research carried out in 2014–2015 in Łódzkie voivodeship among upper secondary school students from rural areas. Three components of the innovative attitude were analysed: cognitive, emotional/evaluative, and behavioral. The study was carried out using a case study method and an auditorium survey involving a total number of 209 people. On the basis of the study, conclusions were made referring to weak points of young rural residents’ attitude to their own innovativeness, and it was demonstrated that relatively few of them display an innovative attitude.
An Exact Holographic RG Flow Between 2d Conformal Fixed Points

description: We describe a supersymmetric RG flow between conformal fixed points of a two-dimensional quantum field theory as an analytic domain wall solution of the three-dimensional SO(4) x SO(4) gauged supergravity. Its ultraviolet fixed point is an N=(4,4) superconformal field theory related, through the double D1-D5 system, to theories modeling the statistical mechanics of black holes. The flow is driven by a relevant operator of conformal dimension Δ=3/2 which breaks conformal symmetry and breaks supersymmetry down to N=(1,1), and sends the theory to an infrared conformal fixed point with half the central charge. Using the supergravity description, we compute counterterms, one-point functions and fluctuation equations for inert scalars and vector fields, providing the complete framework to compute two-point correlation functions of the corresponding operators throughout the flow in the two-dimensional quantum field theory. This produces a toy model for flows of N=4 super Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimensions, where conformal-to-conformal flows have resisted analytical solution.

description: Based on statistical data of the Central Statistical Offi ce regarding Polish farms two linear-dynamic multicriteria optimization models have been created. The fi rst model concerned plant production, the other plant and animal production. In both models, objective functions maximized agricultural income and production, and minimized loss of organic soil matter. Balancing these three objectives is the essence of a farm’s sustainable development. The models have been solved with goal programming. The optimal solution yielded a production structure allowing for the highest quality of production, under given conditions of agricultural income, with no degradation of the natural environment. The goal of the following article is to confi rm whether it is possible to simultaneously realize the production, economic and ecological goals of Polish farms over the course of four years.
A factorization theorem connecting the light-cone distribution amplitudes of heavy-flavor mesons in QCD and HQET

description: The light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) of a heavy-light meson defined in heavy quark effective theory (HQET), is a fundamental nonperturbative input to account for innumerable $B$ meson exclusive decay and production processes. On the other hand, the conventional heavy-flavored meson LCDA defined in QCD, also ubiquitously enters the factorization formula for hard exclusive $B$ production processes. Inspired by the observation that these two LCDAs exhibit the identical infrared behaviors, yet differ in the ultraviolet scale of order $m_b$ or greater, we propose a novel factorization theorem for the heavy-light mesons, that the LCDA defined in QCD can be further expressed as a convolution between the LCDA in HQET and a perturbatively calculable coefficient function thanks to asymptotic freedom. This refactorization program can be invoked to fully disentangle the effects from three disparate scales $Q$, $m_b$ and $Λ_{\rm QCD}$ for a hard exclusive $B$ production process, particularly to facilitate the resummation of logarithms of type $\ln Q/m_b$ and $\ln m_b/Λ_{\rm QCD}$ in a systematic fashion.

description: The description of the early stage of microfracture growth in a quasibrittle solid with thermodynamic positions is considered. From the most general thermodynamic performances the "principle" of minimization of free energy is received. The account high (down to thirds) degrees in expansion of free energy concerning parameters of a mechanical field and average microcrack energy has allowed to write down the state equation for solids with microcracks, to find equilibrium and nonequilibrium values of their average energy. From positions of a developed formalism the reason of high stability of work developments on small depths and mechanism of loss of their stability on the large depths is explained. From the fact of presence of qualitatively various behaviour of a material on the large depths the additional estimated connection between parameters of the theory is established.

description: In order to provide basic information on genetic improvement potential in Cryptomeria japonica (sugi), we estimated genetic parameters, direct and indirect genetic gains and optimum selection ages for growth traits based on the data obtained from 429 progeny test sites located throughout Japan. Medians of narrow-sense heritabilites for height and diameter at breast height (DBH) were ranged in 0.289–0.445 and 0.235–0.276, respectively. The heritability of height significantly increased after the age of 15 years. On the other hand, there were no significant differences among ages in the heritability of DBH. Medians of the age-age genetic correlations were similar when the age differences of the pairs were the same, and tended to decrease as the age differences became larger for both height and DBH. The maximum efficiencies for gain per year when the target age is assumed to be 30 years were obtained at an age of 5 years in height and of 10 years in DBH, respectively. As the values at an age of 5 years in height varied greatly depending on test site, there would likely be selection errors. Thus, the early selection at 1/3 the target age is efficient in sugi.

The aim of the study was to obtain information on the frequency of seafood consumption and purchasing preferences among consumer groups in both a large and a small urban center, taking into account not only the place of residence, but also respondents’ age and gender. The study was attended by 204 people (50 men and 154 women). A survey questionnaire verifi ed in a pilot survey was used as a research tool. The research was carried out in a small (approx. 4,000 inhabitants) and a large (approx. 400,000 inhabitants) urban center on consumers going in and out of shops. A factor that signifi cantly infl uenced all the studied characteristics and purchasing preferences was the respondents’ age. The respondents’ gender signifi cantly infl uenced the recognition of diff erent seafood types, the place of consumption and the motivation for purchase. The size of the place of residence was the least infl uential factor in the study. There is a strong need to inform Polish consumers about seafood and the possibility of its consumption

description: We derive tight quadratic inequalities for all kinds of hybrid separable-inseparable $n$-particle density operators on an arbitrary dimensional space. This methodology enables us to truly derive a tight quadratic inequality as tests for full $n$-partite entanglement in various Bell-type correlation experiments on the systems that may not be identified as a collection of qubits, e.g., those involving photons measured by incomplete detectors. It is also proved that when the two measured observables are assumed to precisely anti-commute, a stronger quadratic inequality can be used as a witness of full $n$-partite entanglement.

description: In this study, we investigate the temporal oscillations of precipitation extremes in different climate regions of the United States. We apply quantile perturbation analysis to average daily precipitation and, to 1041 weather stations with high-quality data from 1900 to 2016. Moreover, we explore the relationship between the extreme precipitation and different well-known cyclical climate modes. Overall, the analysis of average daily precipitation identifies a drier condition in the middle decades of the twentieth century and, a wetter climate in the early century and recent decades. Moreover, the in situ analysis reveals a significant anomaly, mainly prevalent in the Central and Southern regions of the United States. We applied a finite set of linear regression models with different combinations of cyclical climate modes to inform the variability of anomalies with best performing models. Our results highlight the dominant effect of ENSO and NAO in the wide area of the United States.

description: This study analyzed the relationship between terrorist threat and discrimination, operationalized by support for retributive justice against Islamic groupssuspect of terrorist crimes. Two experimental studies were performed. Study 1 (N = 215) showed that the terrorist threat against the ingroup raises the supportfor the retributive procedures through the dehumanization of the outgroup. Study 2 (N = 304) analyzed how the mediating role of dehumanization in therelationship between terrorist threat and support for retributive justice is moderated by right-wing authoritarianism (RWA). In addition, the study aimed toverify if the dehumanization of outgroup and RWA could explain the relationship between terrorist threat and discrimination of Muslim immigrants. Theresults indicated that adherence to RWA favors dehumanization of the outgroup and, consecutively, the discrimination, operationalized as support for the useof retributive justice. The adherence to RWA has been identified as the mechanism that explains the discrimination against Muslim immigrants.
Mortuary Practices and Social Relationships at the Naqada III Cemetery of Tarkhan in Egypt

Subjects: Archaeology

description: This thesis examines mortuary practices and social relationships at the northern Egyptian cemetery of Tarkhan. 968 graves were analysed dating from the pre-state period. This research has revealed that burying the dead was influenced by many factors including social relations, kinship, memory and ideology. It is clear that community-based mortuary practices were more complex than previous models of pre-state Egyptian society have suggested. This study contributes new knowledge to the cemetery of Tarkhan and to the processes involved in burial practices.

description: This work reports the successful solid state synthesis of ZnO/NiFe2O4 nanocomposite by calcinations of both green synthesized ZnO nanorods and NiFe2O4 prismatic nanorods at high temperature (850 °C) for ten hours. These nanomaterials were characterized for structural, functional groups and morphological studies using XRD, FTIR and SEM respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the catalysts was assessed through photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) dye. The photocatalytic studies reveal that the ZnO/NiFe2O4 nanocomposite exhibits high degradation efficiency under UV light. The study shows that in the removal of MB solution by ZnO/NiFe2O4 nanoparticles, OH and photoproduced holes h+ are the main species. Preparation of ZnO/NiFe2O4 nanocomposite by coupling of NiFe2O4 with green synthesized ZnO in solid state method is the novelty of this report. The synthesized recyclable ZnO/NiFe2O4 nanocomposite has potential applications in the treatment of both domestic and industrial waste water.

Bond operator theory of doped antiferromagnets: from Mott insulators with bond-centered charge order, to superconductors with nodal fermions

description: The ground states and excitations of two-dimensional insulating and doped Mott insulators are described by a bond operator formalism. While the method represents the degrees of freedom of an arbitrary antiferromagnet exactly, it is especially suited to systems in which there is a natural pairing of sites into bonds, as in states with spontaneous or explicit spin-Peierls order (or bond-centered charge order). In the undoped insulator, as discussed previously, we obtain both paramagnetic and magnetically-ordered states. We describe the evolution of superconducting order in the ground state with increasing doping--at low doping, the superconductivity is weak, can co-exist with magnetic order, and there are no gapless spin 1/2 fermionic excitations; at high doping, the magnetic order is absent and we obtain a BCS d-wave superconductor with gapless spin 1/2, nodal fermions. We present the critical theory describing the onset of these nodal fermionic excitations. We discuss the evolution of the spin spectrum, and obtain regimes where a spin 1 exciton contributes a sharp resonance in the dynamic spin susceptiblity. We also discuss the experimental consequences of low-energy, dynamically fluctuating, spin-Peierls order in an isotropic CuO_2 plane--we compute consequences for the damping and dispersion of an optical phonon involving primarily the O ions, and compare the results with recent neutron scattering measurements of phonon spectra.

description: Evolution of an individual within another individual is known as within-host dynamics (WHD). The most common modelling technique to study WHD involves ordinary differential equations (ODEs). In the field of biology models of this kind assume, e.g. that both the number of viruses and the number of mouse cells susceptible of being infected change according to their interaction, as stated in the ODE model. However, viruses can undergo mutations and consequently evolve inside the mouse, whereas the mouse in turn displays evolutionary mechanisms through its immune system, e.g. clonal selection, defending against the invading virus. We propose an evolutionary WHD model simulating the coexistence of an evolving invader within a host. In addition, instead of using ODEs we developed an alternative methodology consisting in the hybridization of a genetic algorithm with an artificial immune system. For this purpose we have designed mais.py (Mouse Artificial Immune System), a Python library for the hybridization of genetic algorithms with artificial immune system algorithms. Aside from the model interest in biology and its potential clinical use, the proposed WHD model may be useful in those cases where the invader exhibits evolutionary changes: in the design of anti-virus software, malware intrusion detection algorithms in corporation's computer systems, etc. The software successfully simulates two intruder detection paradigms (nonself-self, nonself-danger) in which nonself represents an evolving invader or guess (e.g. virus, computer program, etc.) and the self the infected host (e.g. mouse, computer memory, etc.). Simulation results open up the possibility of simulating environments in which two entities (guest vs. host) compete evolutionarily with each other when occupying the same space (e.g. organ cells, computer memory, network, etc.).
