description: AbstractBackground: Vitamin D deficiency is a prevalent and important global health problem. Because of its role in growth anddevelopment, vitamin D status is likely to be particularly important in adolescent girls. Here, we explored the effects ofhigh-dose vitamin D supplementation on cardio-metabolic risk factors.Methods: We have examined the effects of vitamin D supplementation on cardio-metabolic risk factors in 988 healthyadolescent girls in Iran. Fasting blood samples and anthropometric measurements were obtained at baseline and aftersupplementation with high-dose vitamin D. All individuals took a capsule of 50,000 IU vitamin D/week for nine weeks.The study was completed by 940 participants.Results: The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was 90% at baseline, reducing to 16.3% after vitamin D supplementation.Vitamin supplementation was associated with a significant increase in serum concentrations of 25 (OH) vitamin Dand calcium. There were significant reductions in diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, waist circumference and serumfasting blood glucose, total- and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol after the nine-week period on vitamin D treatment,but no significant effects were observed on body mass index, systolic blood pressure or serum high-density lipoproteincholesterol and triglyceride.Conclusion: Vitamin D supplementation had beneficial effects on cardio-metabolic profile in adolescent girls.

description: We investigate the instability of a tubular fluid membranes made of a water soluble surfactant. The tubules are obtained at high salinities. The instability is due to the introduction within the vesicle multilayer of an alkane. We measure the wavelength of this instability versus the unperturbed radius of the tubules. To interpretthis dependance we use a model that includes not only the surface tension in the elastic energy but the spontaneous curvature as well. The spontaneous curvature is induced by the presenceof the oil in the bilayer of the membrane and give a selection of a non-zero wavelength.

description: We study a plant population model introduced recently by J. Wallinga [OIKOS {\bf 74}, 377 (1995)]. It is similar to the contact process (`simple epidemic', `directed percolation'), but instead of using an infection or recovery rate as control parameter, the population size is controlled directly and globally by removing excess plants. We show that the model is very closely related to directed percolation (DP). Anomalous scaling laws appear in the limit of large populations, small densities, and long times. These laws, associated critical exponents, and even some non-universal parameters, can be related to those of DP. As in invasion percolation and in other models where the rôles of control and order parameters are interchanged, the critical value $p_c$ of the wetting probability $p$ is obtained in the scaling limit as singular point in the distribution of infection rates. We show that a mean field type approximation leads to a model studied by Y.C. Zhang et al. [J. Stat. Phys. {\bf 58}, 849 (1990)]. Finally, we verify the claim of Wallinga that family extinction in a marginally surviving population is governed by DP scaling laws, and speculate on applications to human mitochondrial DNA.

description: In this paper we present a brief overview of population synthesis methods with a discussion of their main advantages and disadvantages. In the second part, we present some recent results from synthesis models of close binary compact objects with emphasis on the predicted rates, their uncertainties, and the model input parameters the rates are most sensitive to. We also report on a new evolutionary path leading to the formation of close double neutron stars (NS), with the unique characteristic that none of the two NS ever had the chance to be recycled by accretion. Their formation rates turn out to be comparable to or maybe even higher than those of recycled NS-NS binaries (like the ones observed), but their detection probability as binary pulsars is much smaller because of their short lifetimes. We discuss the implications of such a population for gravitational-wave detection of NS-NS inspiral events, and possibly for gamma-ray bursts and their host galaxies.

description: In a feedforward network, Transfer Entropy (TE) can be used to measure the influence that one layer has on another by quantifying the information transfer between them during training. According to the Information Bottleneck principle, a neural model's internal representation should compress the input data as much as possible while still retaining sufficient information about the output. Information Plane analysis is a visualization technique used to understand the trade-off between compression and information preservation in the context of the Information Bottleneck method by plotting the amount of information in the input data against the compressed representation. The claim that there is a causal link between information-theoretic compression and generalization, measured by mutual information, is plausible, but results from different studies are conflicting. In contrast to mutual information, TE can capture temporal relationships between variables. To explore such links, in our novel approach we use TE to quantify information transfer between neural layers and perform Information Plane analysis. We obtained encouraging experimental results, opening the possibility for further investigations.

description: The present diploma thesis concerns the calculation of the minimum height values of the electrical power lines depending on the ambient temperature. The type of conductor is being studied is the copper of heavy attributing. Initially, there is a general introduction to the transmission and distribution of electricity. Then, the elements which constitute an overhead transmission line are listed and analyzed, with an extensive reference to the electricity conductors. In the main part of this paper, the diagrams of the allowable height of the conductors in relation to temperature are presented, for sections of 16 mm2, 35 mm2, 50 mm2 and 95 mm2 of copper conductor. The results and conclusions of this project may seem especially useful for anyone interested, as regard the area of application.

description: We investigate the process of dimensional reduction of one spatial dimension in a thermal scalar field model defined in $D$ dimensions (inverse temperature and $D-1$ spatial dimensions). We obtain that a thermal model in $D$ dimensions with one of the spatial dimensions having a finite size $L$ is related to the finite temperature model with just $D-1$ spatial dimensions and no finite size. Our results are obtained for one-loop calculations and for any dimension $D$. For example, in $D=4$ we have a relationship between a thin film with thickness $L$ at finite temperature and a surface at finite temperature. We show that, although a strict dimensional reduction is not allowed, it is possible to define a valid prescription for this procedure.

 Notes. Three specimens in the University of Hawaii Insect Museum, reportedly collected by John Kjargaard on Molokai Island (Hawaii) in 1972 (Anonymous 1993), were examined by the author and confirmed to belong to this species. I treat this record as highly dubious because specimens were never collected in cue-lure traps in subsequent years. Further, Hardy (1989a) referred to these specimens as “Three specimens of an apparently new species... collected in the early 1970’s by John Kjargaard, recently turned up in a pill box in the collecting bag loaned to Mr. Kjargaard by Dr. Mitchell many years ago.” It is plausible, and more likely in my opinion, that samples from the Mariana Islands may have been misplaced in the bag or pill box during those years.

description: We have calculated the longitudinal acoustic attenuation in a type-II superconductor in high magnetic fields within a mean-field BCS theory. We predict two new features in the corresponding attenuation signal as compared to that of the Meissner state. Our analytical calculations predict the existence of oscillations in the attenuation as the external magnetic field is varied- this effect is associated with the Landau level structure of the electron states and is analogous to the well-known de Haas van Alphen oscillations in the mixed state. The attenuation directly probes the quasiparticle energies; the presence of gapless points in the quasiparticle spectrum, which is characteristic of type-II superconductors at high magnetic fields, shows up in the frequency and temperature dependence of the attenuation in the limit of low frequency and low temperature respectively. At low temperature there is no analogue to the discontinuity in the attenuation observed in the Meissner state when $\hbarω=Δ$, where $Δ$ is the quasiparticle gap and $=ω$ is the frequency. This result opens up the possibility of experimentally determining the existence and nature of the gapless points in the quasiparticle spectrum of a type-II superconductor in high magnetic fields.

description: We investigate a class of spatially compact inhomogeneous spacetimes. Motivated by Thurston's Geometrization Conjecture, we give a formulation for constructing spatially compact composite spacetimes as solutions for the Einstein equations. Such composite spacetimes are built from the spatially compact locally homogeneous vacuum spacetimes which have two commuting Killing vectors by gluing them through a timelike hypersurface admitting a homogeneous spatial slice spanned by the commuting Killing vectors. Topology of the spatial section of the timelike boundary is taken to be the torus. We also assume that the matter which will arise from the gluing is compressed on the boundary, i.e. we take the thin-shell approximation. By solving the junction conditions, we can see dynamical behavior of the connected (composite) spacetime. The Teichmüller deformation of the torus also can be obtained. We apply our formalism to a concrete model. The relation to the torus sum of 3-manifolds and the difficulty of this problem are also discussed.

description: The magnetic textures on nanoscale possess topological features due to the continuity of the magnetization vector field and its boundary conditions. In thin planar nanoelements, where the dependence of the magnetization across the thickness is inessential, the textures can be represented as a soup of 2-d topological solitons, corresponding to magnetic vortices and antivortices, which are the solutions of Skyrme's model. Topology of the element (of the boundary conditions) then imposes the restrictions on properties and locations of these objects. Periodic arrays of magnetic antidots have topology with infinite connectivity. In this work we classify and build an approximate analytical representation of metastable magnetization textures in such arrays and prove the conservation of their topological charge.

Our treatment includes a self-consistent treatment of the mean-field from finite-$T$ excitations and the anomolous average. This is the first gapless calculation of this type for a trapped Bose-Einstein condensed gas. The corrections quantitatively account for the downward shift in the $m=2$ excitation frequencies observed in recent experiments as the critical temperature is approached.

A simple approach to CO cooling in molecular clouds

description: CO plays an important role in interstellar molecular clouds, both as a coolant, and as a diagnostic molecule. However, a proper evaluation of the cooling rate due to CO requires a determination of the populations of many levels, the spontaneous and stimulated radiative de-excitation rates between these levels, and the transfer of the emitted multi-line radiation; additionally, this must be done for three isotopologues. It would be useful to have a simple analytic formulation that avoided these complications; this could then be used in situations where CO plays an important role as a coolant, but the details of this role are not the main concern. We derive such a formulation here, by first considering the two asymptotic forms that obtain in the limits of (a) low volume-density and optical depth, and (b) high volume-density and optical depth. These forms are then combined in such a way as to fit the detailed numerical results from Goldsmith \& Langer (1978), which cover low temperatures, and a range of physical conditions where the interplay of thermal and sub-thermal excitation, optical-depth effects, and the contributions from rare isotopologues, are all important. The fit is obtained using the Metropolis-Hastings method, and reproduces the results of GL78 well. It is a purely local and analytic function of state --- specifically a function of the density, $ρ$, isothermal sound speed, $a$, CO abundance, $X_{_{\rm CO}}$, and velocity divergence, $\nabla\cdot{\boldsymbol\upsilon}$. As an application, we consider the cooling layer following a slow steady non-magnetic planar J-shock. We show that, if the post-shock cooling is dominated by CO and its isotopologues, the thickness of the post-shock cooling layer is very small and approximately independent of the pre-shock velocity, $\upsilon_o$, or pre-shock isothermal sound speed, $a_o$.

description: We present the first high-resolution (6.2 to 7.7 km/s FWHM) spectra of the APM BR J0307-4945 quasar at z_em = 4.73 obtained with UVES on the 8.2m VLT Kueyen telescope. We focus our analysis on a damped Ly-alpha (DLA) system at z_abs = 4.466 with a neutral hydrogen column density N(HI) = (4.68 +/- 0.97) 10^{20} cm^{-2}. It is the most distant DLA system known to the present date, observed when the age of the universe was only 1.3 Gyr. It shows complex low- and high-ionization line profiles spanning ~240 and 300 km/s in velocity space respectively. We derive accurate abundances for N, O, Al, Si and Fe, and place a lower limit on C and an upper limit on Ni: [N/H] = -3.07 +/- 0.15, [O/H] = -1.63 +/- 0.19, [Al/H] = -1.79 +/- 0.11, [Si/H] = -1.54 +/- 0.11, [Fe/H] = -1.97 +/- 0.19, [C/H] > -1.63 and [Ni/H] < -2.35. The derived high metallicity, 1/90 solar, shows that this very young absorber (< 1.3 Gyr) has already experienced a significant metal enrichment. The [O/Si] ratio is nearly solar suggesting a limited amount of dust, the relative [Si,O/Fe] abundance ratios show a similar enhancement as observed in the Milky Way stars with comparable metallicities, and the [N/O] ratio is very low. All these results point to an enrichment pattern dominated by Type II supernovae which suggests a Milky Way type evolutionary model.

description: Background: Collagen, the most abundant protein in the human body, and as an extracellular matrix protein, has an importantrole in the fiber formation. This feature of the collagen renders establishment of the structural skeleton in tissues.Regarding specific features associated with the collagen, such as, formation of the porous structure, permeability andhydrophilicity, it can also be used as a biocompatible matrix in the enzyme engineering.Objectives: The aim of the present study was to investigate the application of the type I collagen as a matrix for alkalinephosphatase immobilization using cross-linking method.Material and Methods: The Alkaline phosphatase was covalently immobilized on collagen matrix by using 1-ethyl-3-(dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC). The source of the alkaline phosphatase was from the bovineintestinal mucous. After that, the activity of the immobilized enzyme was assayed under different experimental conditions.Results: The optimum pH was similar to that of the free enzyme, whereas the optimum temperature and thermal stabilitywere shown some increments. The surface topography of the collagen matrix containing immobilized enzyme and ALP(Alkaline phosphatase) deficient was investigated by Atomic-force microscopy (AFM). Images that have been obtainedapplying AFM show significant differences between uncovered and immobilized enzyme- matrix surface topography.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that type I collagen can be utilized as a matrix for alkaline phosphatase immobilizationvia cross-linking method.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

description: We consider the singular $SU(3)$ Toda system with multiple singular sources \begin{align*} \left\{\begin{array}{ll}-Δw_1=2e^{2w_1}-e^{w_2}+2π\sum_{\ell=1}^mβ_{1,\ell}δ_{P_{\ell}}\quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^2\\ \rule{0cm}{.5cm} -Δw_2=2e^{2w_2}-e^{w_1}+2π\sum_{\ell=1}^mβ_{2,\ell}δ_{P_{\ell}}\quad\text{in }\mathbb{R}^2 \\ w_i(x)=-2\log|x|+O(1)\quad\text{as }|x|\to\infty,\, i=1,2, \end{array}\right.\end{align*} with $m\geq 3$ and $β_{i,\ell}\in [0,1)$. We prove the existence and non-existence results under suitable assumptions on $β_{i,\ell}$. This generalizes Luo-Tian's \cite{Luo-Tian} result for a singular Liouville equation in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We also study existence results for a higher order singular Liouville equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$.

description: The present review article has attempted a compact formalism description of transport coefficient calculations for relativistic fluid, which is expected in heavy ion collision experiments. Here, we first address the macroscopic description of relativistic fluid dynamics and then its microscopic description based on the kinetic theory framework. We also address different relaxation time approximation-based models in Boltzmann transport equations, which make a sandwich between Macro and Micro frameworks of relativistic fluid dynamics and finally provide different microscopic expressions of transport coefficients like the fluid's shear viscosity and bulk viscosity. In the numeric part of this review article, we put stress on the two gross components of transport coefficient expressions: relaxation time and thermodynamic phase-space part. Then, we try to tune the relaxation time component to cover earlier theoretical estimations and experimental data-driven estimations for RHIC and LHC matter. By this way of numerical understanding, we provide the final comments on the values of transport coefficients and relaxation time in the context of the (nearly) perfect fluid nature of the RHIC or LHC matter.
Edge effects in a frustrated Josephson junction array with modulated couplings

description: A square array of Josephson junctions with modulated strength in a magnetic field with half a flux quantum per plaquette is studied by analytic arguments and dynamical simulations. The modulation is such that alternate columns of junctions are of different strength to the rest. Previous work has shown that this system undergoes an XY followed by an Ising-like vortex lattice disordering transition at a lower temperature. We argue that resistance measurements are a possible probe of the vortex lattice disordering transition as the linear resistance $R_{L}(T)\sim A(T)/L$ with $ A(T) \propto (T-T_{cI})$ at intermediate temperatures $T_{cXY}>T>T_{cI}$ due to dissipation at the array edges for a particular geometry and vanishes for other geometries. Extensive dynamical simulations are performed which support the qualitative physical arguments.

Water and OH Emission from the inner disk of a Herbig Ae/Be star

description: We report the detection of hot H$_{2}$O and OH emission from the Herbig Ae/Be star HD$~101412$ using the Cryogenic Infrared Echelle Spectrograph on the $\textit{Very Large Telescope}$. Previous studies of Herbig Ae/Be stars have shown the presence of OH around some of these sources, but H$_{2}$O has proven more elusive. While marginal water emission has been reported in the mid-infrared, and a few Herbig Ae/Be stars show water emission in the far-infrared, water emission near 2.9 $μ$m has not been previously detected. We apply slab models to the ro-vibrational OH, H$_{2}$O, and CO spectra of this source and show that the molecules are consistent with being cospatial. We discuss the possibility that the detection of the CO overtone bandhead emission, detection of water emission, and the large line to continuum contrast of the OH lines may be connected to its high inclination and the $λ$ Boö nature of this star. If the low abundance of refractories results from the selective accretion of gas relative to dust, the inner disk of HD$~101412$ should be strongly dust-depleted allowing us to probe deeper columns of molecular gas in the disk, enhancing its molecular emission. Our detection of C- and O-bearing molecules from the inner disk of HD$~101412$ is consistent with the expected presence in this scenario of abundant volatiles in the accreting gas.

description: Using the technique of Rindler and Perlick we calculate the total precession per revolution of a gyroscope circumventing the source of Weyl metrics. We establish thereby a link between the multipole moments of the source and an ``observable'' quantity. Special attention deserves the case of the gamma-metric. As an extension of this result we also present the corresponding expressions for some stationary space-times.

Phase-separated vortex-lattice in a rotating binary Bose-Einstein condensate

description: We study circularly-symmetric phase separation of vortex lattices in a rapidly rotating harmonically-trapped quasi--two-dimensional binary Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) by introducing a weak quartic trap in one of the components. The increase of the rotational frequency in such a system is also found to generate a phase separation of the vortex lattices of an overlapping non-rotating BEC. The phase-separated vortex lattices have different structures for a binary BEC with inter-species repulsion and inter-species attraction. In the former case of a fully repulsive binary BEC the phase separation of the vortex-lattices is accompanied by a complete phase separation of component densities. In the latter case of inter-species attraction there is a partial phase separation of component densities, although there could be a complete phase separation of the generated vortex lattices in the two components. In the case of inter-species attraction, we need to have different intra-species repulsion in the two components for an efficient phase separation. We compare and contrast our results with the phase separation obtained in a harmonically-trapped binary BEC without any quartic trap.

description: Radar sensors have a long tradition in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and also play a major role in current concepts for autonomous vehicles. Their importance is reasoned by their high robustness against meteorological effects, such as rain, snow, or fog, and the radar's ability to measure relative radial velocity differences via the Doppler effect. The cause for these advantages, namely the large wavelength, is also one of the drawbacks of radar sensors. Compared to camera or lidar sensor, a lot more surfaces in a typical traffic scenario appear flat relative to the radar's emitted signal. This results in multi-path reflections or so called ghost detections in the radar signal. Ghost objects pose a major source for potential false positive detections in a vehicle's perception pipeline. Therefore, it is important to be able to segregate multi-path reflections from direct ones. In this article, we present a dataset with detailed manual annotations for different kinds of ghost detections. Moreover, two different approaches for identifying these kinds of objects are evaluated. We hope that our dataset encourages more researchers to engage in the fields of multi-path object suppression or exploitation.

description: Online media, such as blogs and social networking sites, generate massive volumes of unstructured data of great interest to analyze the opinions and sentiments of individuals and organizations. Novel approaches beyond Natural Language Processing are necessary to quantify these opinions with polarity metrics. So far, the sentiment expressed by emojis has received little attention. The use of symbols, however, has boomed in the past four years. About twenty billion are typed in Twitter nowadays, and new emojis keep appearing in each new Unicode version, making them increasingly relevant to sentiment analysis tasks. This has motivated us to propose a novel approach to predict the sentiments expressed by emojis in online textual messages, such as tweets, that does not require human effort to manually annotate data and saves valuable time for other analysis tasks. For this purpose, we automatically constructed a novel emoji sentiment lexicon using an unsupervised sentiment analysis system based on the definitions given by emoji creators in Emojipedia. Additionally, we automatically created lexicon variants by also considering the sentiment distribution of the informal texts accompanying emojis. All these lexica are evaluated and compared regarding the improvement obtained by including them in sentiment analysis of the annotated datasets provided by Kralj Novak et al. (2015). The results confirm the competitiveness of our approach.
The radial pulsation of AI Aurigae

description: We present an analysis of eleven years of Stromgren by photometry of the red semiregular variable star AI Aurigae. An early period determination of 63.9 days is confirmed by the long-term light curve behaviour. The light curve shows semi-regular changes with a mean period of 65 days reaching an amplitude of 0.6 mag in some cycles. The b-y colour changes perfectly parallel the V light curve, suggesting radial oscillation to be the main reason for the observed variations. We estimate the main characteristics of the star (mass, radius, effective temperature) that suggest radial pulsation in fundamental or first overtone mode.

Comment on ``Quasiparticle Spectra around a Single Vortex in a d-wave Superconductor''

description: In a recent Letter Morita, Kohmoto and Maki analyzed the structure of quasiparticle states near a single vortex in a d-wave superconductor using an approximate version of the Bogoliubov - de Gennes theory. Their principal result is the existence of a bound state within the core region at finite energy with full rotational symmetry, which they assert explains the recent scanning tunneling microscopy results on YBCO single crystals. Here we argue that the approximation used in this work is fundamentally inadequate for the description of a d-wave vortex and that the obtained circular symmetry of the local density of states is an unphysical artifact of this approximation.
