description: This is the fourth paper exploring the infrared properties of giant HII regions with the FORCAST instrument on the Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). Our survey utilizes the census of 56 Milky Way giant HII regions identified by Conti & Crowther (2004), and in this paper we present the 20 and 37 micron imaging data we have obtained from SOFIA for sources Sgr D and W42. Based upon the SOFIA data and other multi-wavelength data, we derive and discuss the detailed physical properties of the individual compact sources and sub-regions as well as the large scale properties of Sgr D and W42. However, improved measurements have revealed much closer distances to both regions than previously believed, and consequently both sources are not powerful enough to be considered giant HII regions any longer. Motivated by this, we revisit the census of giant HII regions, performing a search through the last two decades of literature to update each source with the most recent and/or most accurate distance measurements. Based on these new distance estimates, we determine that 14 sources in total (25%) are at sufficiently reliable and closer distances that they are not powerful enough to be considered giant HII regions. We briefly discuss the observational and physical characteristics specific to Sgr D and W42 and show that they have properties distinct from the giant HII regions previously studied as a part of this survey.

description: We propose a novel optimization-based paradigm for 3D human model fitting on images and scans. In contrast to existing approaches that directly regress the parameters of a low-dimensional statistical body model (e.g. SMPL) from input images, we train an ensemble of per-vertex neural fields network. The network predicts, in a distributed manner, the vertex descent direction towards the ground truth, based on neural features extracted at the current vertex projection. At inference, we employ this network, dubbed LVD, within a gradient-descent optimization pipeline until its convergence, which typically occurs in a fraction of a second even when initializing all vertices into a single point. An exhaustive evaluation demonstrates that our approach is able to capture the underlying body of clothed people with very different body shapes, achieving a significant improvement compared to state-of-the-art. LVD is also applicable to 3D model fitting of humans and hands, for which we show a significant improvement to the SOTA with a much simpler and faster method.

description: The productivity of potato in Colombia is below its potential due to continued agronomical malpractices that have resulted in a high prevalence of pathogens, particularly viruses. This work presents a pilot virus seed-indexing study using the tuber sprouting test (TST) with RT-qPCR. TST was performed in certified and uncertified seed-tuber lots of potato cultivars: Diacol Capiro and Criolla Colombia. Results indicate that PYVV and PMTV are highly prevalent in all seed lots from both cultivars; PLRV, PVY, and PVB are highly prevalent in cv. Diacol Capiro, but mostly absent in cv. Criolla Colombia; PVV is almost exclusively found in cv. Criolla Colombia; while PVS and PVX are found at low prevalence in cv. Diacol Capiro. Multiple infections were common in both cultivars, and no uninfected tubers were identified. The effect of virus distribution on testing was also investigated, and a preliminary sampling method for certification of seed lots is proposed.

description: The host galaxy conditions for rapid supermassive black hole growth are poorly understood. Narrow-line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies often exhibit high accretion rates and are hypothesized to be prototypes of active galactic nuclei (AGN) at an early stage of their evolution. We present VLT MUSE NFM-AO observations of Mrk 1044, the nearest super-Eddington accreting NLS1. Together with archival MUSE WFM data we aim to understand the host galaxy processes that drive Mrk 1044's black hole accretion. We extract the faint stellar continuum emission from the AGN-deblended host and perform spatially resolved emission line diagnostics with an unprecedented resolution. Combining both MUSE WFM and NFM-AO observations, we use a kinematic model of a thin rotating disk to trace the stellar and ionized gas motion from 10$\,$kpc down to 30$\,$pc around the nucleus. Mrk 1044's stellar kinematics follow circular rotation, whereas the ionized gas shows tenuous spiral features in the center. We resolve a compact star forming circumnuclear ellipse (CNE) that has a semi-minor axis of 306$\,$pc. Within this CNE, the gas is metal rich and its line ratios are entirely consistent with excitation by star formation. With an integrated SFR of $0.19 \pm 0.05 \,{\rm M}_\odot\,{\rm yr}^{-1}$ the CNE contributes 27% of the galaxy-wide star formation. We conclude that Mrk 1044's nuclear activity has not yet affected the circumnuclear star formation. Thus, Mrk 1044 is consistent with the idea that NLS1s are young AGN. A simple mass budget consideration suggests that the circumnuclear star formation and AGN phase are connected and the patterns in the ionized gas velocity field are a signature of the ongoing AGN feeding.

description: The family of AV$_3$Sb$_5$ (A = K, Rb, Cs) kagome metals exhibit charge density wave (CDW) order, proposed to be chiral, followed by a lower temperature superconducting state. Recent studies have proposed the importance of band structure saddle points proximal to the Fermi energy in governing these two transitions. Here we show the effects of hole-doping achieved via chemical substitution of Sn for Sb on the CDW and superconducting states in both KV$_3$Sb$_5$ and RbV$_3$Sb$_5$, and generate a phase diagram. Hole-doping lifts the $Γ$ pocket and van Hove singularities (vHs) toward $E_F$ causing the superconducting $T_C$ in both systems to increase to about 4.5 K, while rapidly suppressing the CDW state.

description: Citrus dry root rot caused by members of Fusarium species is among the most devastating diseases that delimits citrus production worldwide. The present study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of fungicides against Fusarium solani (as Neocosmospora solani) and Fusarium spp. associated with citrus dry root rot in Morocco. Thirty-two isolates from different regions of Morocco were investigated for sensitivity to seven fungicides through the growth inhibition test. The half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) results revealed that the combination of trifloxystrobin + fluopyram and epoxiconazole were the best for the in vitro mycelial inhibition. Also, EC50 values for epoxiconazole, trifloxystrobin, fluopyram, trifloxystrobin + fluopyram, tetraconazole, thiophanate methyl, and penthiopyrade were ranging from 0.026 to 2.83 μg/ml, 2.47 to 82.35 μg/ml, 0.13 to 121.77 μg/ml, 0.37 to 14.41 μg/ml, 2.52 to 25.25 μg/ml and 2.02 to 44.88 μg/ml, respectively. The in vivo test suggested that the association between trifloxystrobin and fluopyram performed better in disease control than with other treatments’ results. The evaluated fungicides showed high activity against Fusaria in vitro and demonstrated great efficacy for reducing the disease in the greenhouse trial. The study provides a basis for decision-making in the future development of new policies for preventing and controlling this disease.

description: We present a study of coherent pion production in neutrino-nucleus interactions using the formalism based on partially conserved axial current theorem which connects the neutrino-nucleus cross section to the pion-nucleus elastic scattering cross section. Pion-nucleus elastic scattering cross section is calculated using Glauber model which takes three inputs, nuclear densities, pion-nucleon cross section and $α_{πN}$ which is the ratio of real to imaginary part of $πN$ forward scattering amplitude, for which the parametrizations are obtained from measured data. We calculate the differential and integrated cross sections for charge and neutral current coherent pion production in neutrino (anti-neutrino)-nucleus scattering for a range of nuclear targets from light to heavy materials such as lithium, carbon, hydrocarbon, oxygen, silicon, argon, iron and lead. The results of these cross section calculations are compared with the measured data and with the calculations from the Berger-Sehgal model and GENIE package. There is an excellent agreement between the calculated and measured cross sections with Glauber model. While GENIE and Berger-Sehgal model give a good description of the data in the lower energy range the present calculations describe the data in all energy ranges. Predictions are also made for upcoming experiments like INO and DUNE in the coherent region of neutrino cross section.

description: Advances in ultrafast spectroscopy can provide access to dynamics involving nontrivial quantum correlations and their evolutions. In coherent 2D spectroscopy, the oscillatory time dependence of a signal is a signature of such quantum dynamics. Here we study such beating signals in electronic coherent 2D spectroscopy of CdSe quantum dots (CdSe QDs) at 77 K. The beating signals are analyzed in terms of their positive and negative Fourier components. We conclude that the beatings originate from coherent LO-phonons of CdSe QDs. No evidence for the quantum dot size dependence of the LO-phonon frequency was identified.

description: The Ornstein-Zernike equation is solved for the hard-sphere and square-well fluids using a diverse selection of closure relations; the attraction range of the square-well is chosen to be $λ=1.5.$ In particular, for both fluids we mainly focus on the solution based on a three-parameter version of the Verlet closure relation [Mol. Phys. 42, 1291-1302 (1981)]. To find the free parameters of the latter, an unconstrained optimization problem is defined as a condition of thermodynamic consistency based on the compressibility and solved using Evolutionary Algorithms. For the hard-sphere fluid, the results show good agreement when compared with mean-field equations of state and accurate computer simulation results; at high densities, i.e., close to the freezing transition, expected (small) deviations are seen. In the case of the square-well fluid, a good agreement is observed at low and high densities when compared with event-driven molecular dynamics computer simulations. For intermediate densities, the explored closure relations vary in terms of accuracy. Our findings suggest that a modification of the optimization problem to include, for example, additional thermodynamic consistency criteria could improve the results for the type of fluids here explored.

The position of the verb with respect to the adverb ‘sempre’ over four centuries:
Creators: name: Araújo-Adriano, Paulo
Publisher: name: Journal of Historical Syntax
Year: 2022

description: Several works on different phenomena in the literature (see ROBERTS; KATO, 2018; CYRINO, 2013; CYRINO; LOPES, 2016; ARAÚJO-ADRIANO, 2019; a.o.) suggest Brazilian Portuguese had lost verb movement by the end of the 19th century. The position of sempre regarding V is commonly used as a diagnosis for the difference between European Portuguese (EP) and Brazilian Portuguese (BP) when it comes to verb movement: whilst the former has a default order V_sempre the latter has the order sempre_V. In this paper, we dug up the history of the order of V concerning the adverb sempre in its confirmatory, speech act, temporal/aspectual and pattern of behaviour interpretation, from the 17th to the 21st century. We found that the confirmatory reading of sempre was once part of the BP system but disappeared by the end of the 19th century. As for the temporal/aspectual interpretation, we see two paradigms throughout history: the first one, between the 17th and 19th century, with all kinds of verbal elements being located to the right of sempre and the second one, between the end of the 19th and 21st century, with only statives and copular verbs (and possibly auxiliaries) moving to a higher position than temporal/aspectual sempre. We also see that the loss of verb movement does not mean the verb in BP does not move anymore; its position in relation to a pattern of behaviour sempre, an interpretation which has been increasing since its first occurrence in 1845, is a shred of evidence that the verb still moves.

description: Bayesian inversion generates a posterior distribution of model parameters from an observation equation and prior information both weighted by hyperparameters. The prior is also introduced for the hyperparameters in fully Bayesian inversions and enables us to evaluate both the model parameters and hyperparameters probabilistically by the joint posterior. However, even in a linear inverse problem, it is unsolved how we should extract useful information on the model parameters from the joint posterior. This study presents a theoretical exploration into the appropriate dimensionality reduction of the joint posterior in the fully Bayesian inversion. We classify the ways of probability reduction into the following three categories focused on the marginalisation of the joint posterior: (1) using the joint posterior without marginalisation, (2) using the marginal posterior of the model parameters and (3) using the marginal posterior of the hyperparameters. First, we derive several analytical results that characterise these categories. One is a suite of semianalytic representations of the probability maximisation estimators for respective categories in the linear inverse problem. The mode estimators of categories (1) and (2) are found asymptotically identical for a large number of data and model parameters. We also prove the asymptotic distributions of categories (2) and (3) delta-functionally concentrate on their probability peaks, which predicts two distinct optimal estimates of the model parameters. Second, we conduct a synthetic test and find an appropriate reduction is realised by category (3), typified by Akaike's Bayesian information criterion (ABIC). The other reduction categories are shown inappropriate for the case of many model parameters, where the probability concentration of the marginal posterior of the model parameters is found no longer to mean the central limit theorem...

description: This paper addresses the pressing policy issue of food access and availability in low-income urban settings, particularly in the context of the nutrition transition, urbanization, and evolving food systems. By regressing food expenditure data against proximity-to-outlet measures for various outlet types, the study focuses on estimating distance elasticities—quantifying the responsiveness of household food shopping expenditure to variations in distances to different food outlets. The key finding underscores the significance of household location characteristics over average distance to outlets in predicting the healthiness of food purchases. The research further identifies variations in distance elasticities based on factors such as the main shopper's age, household poverty probability, and location. This study introduces a novel application of distance elasticity, paving the way for future investigations into food environment metrics within urban and peri-urban settings of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The insights gained aim to enhance the understanding of factors influencing food shopping behavior and guide strategies for promoting healthier food options through increased expenditures.

description: Chromospheric swirls are considered to play a significant role in the dynamics and heating of the upper solar atmosphere. It is important to automatically detect and track them in chromospheric observations and determine their properties. We applied a recently developed automated chromospheric swirl detection method to time-series observations of a quiet region of the solar chromosphere obtained in the H$α$-0.2 Å wavelength of the H$α$ spectral line by the CRISP instrument at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope. The algorithm exploits the morphological characteristics of swirling events in high contrast chromospheric observations and results in the detection of these structures in each frame of the time series and their tracking over time. We conducted a statistical analysis to determine their various properties, including a survival analysis for deriving the mean lifetime. A mean number of 146 $\pm$ 9 swirls was detected within the FOV at any given time. The mean surface density is found equal to $\sim$0.08 swirls$ $Mm$^{-2}$ and the occurrence rate is $\sim$10$^{-2}$ swirls$ $Mm$^{-2}$ min$^{-1}$. These values are much higher than those previously reported from chromospheric observations. The radii of the detected swirls range between 0.5 and 2.5 Mm, with a mean value equal to 1.3 $\pm$ 0.3 Mm, which is slightly higher than previous reports. The lifetimes range between 1.5 min and 33.7 min with an arithmetic mean value of $\sim$8.5 min. A survival analysis of the lifetimes, however, using the Kaplan-Meier estimator in combination with a parametric model results in a mean lifetime of 10.3 $\pm$ 0.6 min. An automated method sheds more light on their abundance than visual inspection, while higher cadence, higher resolution observations will most probably result in the detection of a higher number of such features on smaller scales and with shorter lifetimes.

description: (Abridged) We present a detailed broadband X-ray spectrum of NGC 4258, with the goal of precisely measuring the coronal luminosity and accretion flow properties of the AGN, and track any possible variation across two decades of observations. We collect archival XMM-Newton, Chandra, Swift/BAT and NuSTAR spectroscopic observations spanning 15 years, and fit them with a suite of state of the art models, including a warped disk model which is suspected to provide the well known obscuration observed in the X-rays. We complement this information with archival results from the literature. Clear spectral variability is observed among the different epochs. The obscuring column density shows possibly periodic fluctuations on a timescale of 10 years, while the intrinsic luminosity displays a long term decrease of a factor of three in a time span of 15 years (from $L_{2-10~\text{keV}} \sim 10^{41}$ erg s$^{-1}$ in the early 2000s, to $L_{2-10~\text{keV}} \sim 3 \times 10^{40}$ erg s$^{-1}$ in 2016). The average absorption-corrected X-ray luminosity $L_{2-10~\text{keV}}$, combined with archival determinations of the bolometric luminosity, implies a bolometric correction $k_{\rm bol} \sim 20$, intriguingly typical for Seyferts powered by accretion through geometrically thin, radiatively efficient disks. Moreover, the X-ray photon index $Γ$ is consistent with the typical value of the broader AGN population. However, the accretion rate in Eddington units is very low, well within the expected RIAF regime. Our results suggest that NGC 4258 is a genuinely low-luminosity Seyfert II, with no strong indications in its X-ray emission for a hot, RIAF-like accretion flow.

description: The cytokine interleukin 1 (IL-1) is an evolutionary innovation of vertebrates. Fish and amphibia have one IL1 gene, while mammals have two copies of IL1, IL1A and IL1B, with distinct expression patterns and differences in their proteolytic activation. Our current understanding of the evolutionary history of IL-1 is mainly based on phylogenetic analyses, but this approach provides no information on potentially different functions of IL-1 homologues, and it remains unclear which biological activities identified for IL-1α and IL-1β in mammals are present in lower vertebrates. Here, we use in vitro and in vivo experimental models to examine the expression patterns and cleavage of IL-1 proteins from various species. We found that IL-1 in.the teleost medaka shares the transcriptional patterns of mammalian IL-1α, and its processing also resembles that of mammalian IL-1α, which is sensitive to cysteine protease inhibitors specific for the calpain and cathepsin families. By contrast, IL-1 proteins in reptiles also include biological properties of IL-1β. Therefore, we propose that the duplication of the ancestral IL1 gene led to the segregation of expression patterns and protein processing that characterizes the two extant forms of IL-1 in.mammals.

description: We present GaiaHub, a publicly available tool that combines $Gaia$ measurements with $Hubble$ $Space$ $Telescope$ ($HST$) archival images to derive proper motions (PMs). It increases the scientific impact of both observatories beyond their individual capabilities. $Gaia$ provides PMs across the whole sky, but the limited mirror size and time baseline restrict the best PM performance to relatively bright stars. $HST$ can measure accurate PMs for much fainter stars over a small field, but this requires two epochs of observation which are not always available. GaiaHub yields considerably improved PM accuracy compared to $Gaia$-only measurements, especially for faint sources $(G \gtrsim 18)$, requiring only a single epoch of $HST$ data observed more than $\sim 7$ years ago (before 2012). This provides considerable scientific value especially for dynamical studies of stellar systems or structures in and beyond the Milky Way (MW) halo, for which the member stars are generally faint. To illustrate the capabilities and demonstrate the accuracy of GaiaHub, we apply it to samples of MW globular clusters (GCs) and classical dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellite galaxies. This allows us, e.g., to measure the velocity dispersions in the plane of the sky for objects out to and beyond $\sim 100$ kpc. We find, on average, mild radial velocity anisotropy in GCs, consistent with existing results for more nearby samples. We observe a correlation between the internal kinematics of the clusters and their ellipticity, with more isotropic clusters being, on average, more round. Our results also support previous findings that Draco and Sculptor dSph galaxies appear to be radially anisotropic systems.

description: Mentre si celebra il centenario dell’accordo Sykes-Picot, la disintegrazione attuale degli Stati siriano e iracheno resta frequentemente attribuita al supposto carattere «artificiale» che avrebbero loro conferito le frontiere coloniali fissate arbitrariamente. Qui viene messa in causa l’eterogeneità etnico-confessionale delle entità create dagli imperialismi francese e britannico, aventi come corollario l’idea che qui si sarebbe di fronte a Stati che avrebbero fatto fallimento per l’assenza di identità nazionale.  Qui per la Siria si porterà l’argomento inverso, affermando che la persistenza dei legami primordiali etnici e confessionali, in quanto vettori di mobilitazione politica, non risulta dalla debolezza dell’idea nazionale, ma piuttosto da quella di istituzioni statali, le quali, essendo di recente costruzione, si sono mostrate permeabili a queste solidarietà primordiali e le hanno anzi rafforzate.

Dense Gas Formation via Collision-induced Magnetic Reconnection in a Disk Galaxy with a BiSymmetric Spiral Magnetic Field

description: Recently, a collision-induced magnetic reconnection (CMR) mechanism was proposed to explain a dense filament formation in the Orion A giant molecular cloud. A natural question is that whether CMR works elsewhere in the Galaxy. As an initial attempt to answer the question, this paper investigates the triggering of CMR and the production of dense gas in a flat-rotating disk with a modified BiSymmetric Spiral (BSS) magnetic field. Cloud-cloud collisions at field reversals in the disk are modeled with the Athena++ code. Under the condition that is representative of the warm neutral medium, the cloud-cloud collision successfully triggers CMR at different disk radii. However, dense gas formation is hindered by the dominating thermal pressure, unless a moderately stronger initial field $\gtrsim5μ$G is present. The strong-field model, having a larger Lundquist number $S_L$ and lower plasma $β$, activates the plasmoid instability in the collision midplane, which is otherwise suppressed by the disk rotation. We speculate that CMR can be common if more clouds collide along field reversals. However, to witness the CMR process in numerical simulations, we need to significantly resolve the collision midplane with a spatial dynamic range $\gtrsim10^6$. If Milky Way spiral arms indeed coincide with field reversals in BSS, it is possible that CMR creates or maintains dense gas in the arms. High-resolution, high-sensitivity Zeeman/Faraday-Rotation observations are crucial for finding CMR candidates that have helical fields.

description: In supernovae (SNe), where the light curves show evidence of strong and early interaction between the ejecta and the circumstellar matter (CSM), the formation of new dust is estimated to take place in a dense shell of gas between the forward (FS) and the reverse shock (RS). For the first time, in this study, the mechanism of dust formation in this dense shell is modeled. A set of 9 cases, considering variations of the ejecta mass, and the pre-explosion mass-loss rates is considered, accounting for the diverse nature of interactions reported in such SNe. For a single main sequence mass, the variation of ejecta mass was manifested as a variation of the H-shell mass of the star, lost due to pre-explosion mass-loss. We find that the dust masses in the dense shell range between 10$^{-3}$ M$_{\odot}$ and 0.8 M$_{\odot}$, composed of O-rich and C-rich grains, whose relative proportions are determined by the nature of interaction. Dust formation in the post-shock gas is characterized by a gradual production rate, mostly ranging from 10$^{-6}$ to 10$^{-3}$ M$_{\odot}$ day$^{-1}$, which may continue for a decade, post-explosion. A higher mass-loss rate leads to a larger mass of dust, while a smaller ejecta mass (smaller left-over H-shell) increases the efficiency of dust production in such SNe. Dust formed behind the RS, as in our calculations, is not subject to destruction by either the FS or RS and is thus likely to survive in larger proportion than dust formed in the ejecta.

description: The composite nature of a shallow bound state is studied by using the weak-binding relation, which connects the compositeness of the bound state with observables. We first show that the previous weak-binding relation cannot be applied to the system with a large effective range. To overcome this difficulty, we introduce the finite-range correction by redefining the typical length scale in the weak-binding relation. A method to estimate the uncertainty of the compositeness is proposed. It is numerically demonstrated that the range correction enlarges the applicable region of the weak-binding relation. Finally, we apply the improved weak-binding relation to the actual hadrons, nuclei, and atomic systems [deuteron, $X(3872)$, $D^{*}_{s0}(2317)$, $D_{s1}(2460)$, $NΩ$ dibaryon, $ΩΩ$ dibaryon, ${}^{3}_Λ{\rm H}$, and ${}^{4}{\rm He}$ dimer] to discuss their internal structure from the compositeness. We present a reasonable estimation of the compositeness of the deuteron by properly taking into account the uncertainty. The results of $X(3872)$ and the $NΩ$ dibaryon show that the range correction is important to estimate the compositeness of physical states.

description: Astrophysical jets are often observed as bent or curved structures. We also know that the different jet sources may be binary in nature, which may lead to a regular, periodic motion of the jet nozzle, an orbital motion or precession. Here, we present the results of 2D (M)HD simulations in order to investigate how a precessing or orbiting jet nozzle affects the propagation of a high-speed jet. We have performed a parameter study of systems with different precession angles, orbital periods or separations, and different magnetic field strengths. We find that these kinds of nozzles lead to curved jet propagation which is determined by the main parameters that define the jet nozzle. We find C-shaped jets from orbiting nozzles and S-shaped jets from precessing nozzles. Over long time and long distances, the initially curved jet motion bores a broad channel into the ambient gas that is filled with high-speed jet material which lateral motion is damped, however. A strong (longitudinal) magnetic field can damp the jet curvature that is enforced by either precession of orbital motion of the jet sources. We have investigated the force balance across the jet and ambient medium and found that the lateral magnetic pressure and gas pressure gradients are almost balanced, but that a lack of gas pressure on the concave side of the curvature is leading to the lateral motion. Magnetic tension does not play a significant role. Our results are obtained in code units, but we provide scaling relations such that our results may be applied to young stars, micro-quasars, symbiotic stars or AGN.
