description: Toronto Harbour, adjacent to a large urban centre on Lake Ontario, receives inputs from storm sewers, combined sewer overflows, and urban runoff that lead to contrasting water quality over the waterfront. Toronto’s Inner and Outer Harbours, mesotrophic and meso-oligotrophic, respectively, were investigated in 2008 to assess how water quality conditions were affected by loading gradients, weather and lake circulation. Spatially-intensive measurements of UV fluorescence, turbidity, conductivity, and chlorophyll a, together with lab-based analysis of chemistry at discrete sites, were used to depict patterns and contrasts in water quality in the harbour. Spatially-integrated field sensor data were also employed to examine the efficacy of using discrete water quality sampling to represent average conditions. Nitrogen, total phosphorus, dissolved organic carbon, major ions and E. coli gradients were a recurrent feature among surveys with concentrations decreasing away from the Don River mouth. The limited point-sample data reasonably depicted average conditions among areas of the harbour on the days of survey as did the results interpolated for a long-term monitoring station in the Inner Harbour (IH). The strong variability seen within the IH indicates that the most affected water quality conditions are likely under represented by area-wide conditions. Temporal variability in water quality, correlated with the discharge from the Don River, was strong yet under represented by the field-based sampling. Empirical prediction of TP concentrations in the IH, and correlated with Don River discharge, were used to demonstrate both the critical need to address temporal variability in monitoring design and the possibility of using empirical predictive approaches drawing upon field sensor data to fill this gap.

description: \begin{abstract} In this paper we consider Time-Varying Block (TVB) codes, which generalize a number of previous synchronization error-correcting codes. We also consider various practical issues related to MAP decoding of these codes. Specifically, we give an expression for the expected distribution of drift between transmitter and receiver due to synchronization errors. We determine an appropriate choice for state space limits based on the drift probability distribution. In turn, we obtain an expression for the decoder complexity under given channel conditions in terms of the state space limits used. For a given state space, we also give a number of optimizations that reduce the algorithm complexity with no further loss of decoder performance. We also show how the MAP decoder can be used in the absence of known frame boundaries, and demonstrate that an appropriate choice of decoder parameters allows the decoder to approach the performance when frame boundaries are known, at the expense of some increase in complexity. Finally, we express some existing constructions as TVB codes, comparing performance with published results, and showing that improved performance is possible by taking advantage of the flexibility of TVB codes.

The Masses and Accretion Rates of White Dwarfs in Classical and Recurrent Novae

description: Models have long predicted that the frequency-averaged masses of white dwarfs in Galactic classical novae are twice as large as those of field white dwarfs. Only a handful of dynamically well-determined nova white dwarf masses have been published, leaving the theoretical predictions poorly tested. The recurrence time distributions and mass accretion rate distributions of novae are even more poorly known. To address these deficiencies, we have combined our extensive simulations of nova eruptions with the Strope et al (2010) and Schaefer et al (2010) databases of outburst characteristics of Galactic classical and recurrent novae to determine the masses of 92 white dwarfs in novae. We find that the mean mass (frequency averaged mean mass) of 82 Galactic classical novae is 1.06 (1.13) Msun, while the mean mass of 10 recurrent novae is 1.31 Msun. These masses, and the observed nova outburst amplitude and decline time distributions allow us to determine the long-term mass accretion rate distribution of classical novae. Remarkably, that value is just 1.3 x 10^{-10} Msun/yr, which is an order of magnitude smaller than that of cataclysmic binaries in the decades before and after classical nova eruptions. This predicts that old novae become low mass transfer rate systems, and hence dwarf novae, for most of the time between nova eruptions. We determine the mass accretion rates of each of the 10 known Galactic RN, finding them to be in the range 10^{-7} - 10^{-8} $ Msun/yr. We are able to predict the recurrence time distribution of novae and compare it with the predictions of population synthesis models.

description: We consider the general gauge theory with a closed irreducible gauge algebra possessing the non-anomalous global (super)symmetry in the case when the gauge fixing procedure violates the global invariance of classical action. The theory is quantized in the framework of BRST-BV approach in the form of functional integral over all fields of the configuration space. It is shown that the global symmetry transformations are deformed in the process of quantization and the full quantum action is invariant under such deformed global transformations in the configuration space. The deformed global transformations are calculated in an explicit form in the one-loop approximation.

description: We introduce a novel scheme for the mechanistic investigation of solid-solid phase transitions, which we dub \textit{metashooting}. Combining transition path sampling molecular dynamics and metadynamics, this scheme allows for both a complete mechanistic analysis and a detailed mapping of the free energy surface. This is illustrated by performing \textit{metashooting} calculations on the pressure-induced B4/B3 $\rightarrow$ B1 phase transition in ZnO. The resulting free energy map helps to clarify the role of intermediate configurations along this activated process and the competition between different mechanistic regimes with superior accuracy. We argue that \textit{metashooting} can be efficiently applied to a broader class of activated processes

description: Objective: To examine sex differences in the effectiveness of a Stories intervention for teaching affect recognition in people with a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Setting: Post-acute rehabilitation facilities. Participants: 203 participants (53 women and 150 men) with moderate to severe TBI were screened. 71 were eligible and randomized to one of three treatment conditions: two affect recognition conditions and an active control (cognition). This paper examines sex differences between the Stories intervention (n = 23, 5 women and 18 men) and the cognitive treatment control (n = 24, 8 women and 16 men). Design: Randomized controlled trial with immediate, 3- and 6-month follow-up post-tests. Interventions were 9 hours of computer-based training with a therapist. Measures: Facial Affect Recognition (DANVA2-AF); Emotional Inference from Stories Test (EIST). Results: A significant treatment effect was observed for the Stories intervention for women, who demonstrated and maintained improved facial affect recognition. In contrast, males in our sample did not benefit from the Stories intervention. Conclusion: This positive finding for the Stories intervention for females contrasts with our conclusions in a previous paper, where an analysis collapsed across sex did not reveal an overall effectiveness of the Stories intervention. This intervention warrants further research and development.

description: The two-dimensional nature of graphene makes it an ideal platform to explore proximity-induced unconventional planar superconductivity and the possibility of topological superconductivity. Using Green's functions techniques, we study the transport properties of a finite size ballistic graphene layer placed between a normal state electrode and a graphene lead with proximity-induced unconventional superconductivity. Our microscopic description of such a junction allows us to consider the effect of edge states in the graphene layer and the imperfect coupling to the electrodes. The tunnel conductance through the junction and the spectral density of states feature a rich interplay between graphene's edge states, interface bound states formed at the graphene-superconductor junction, Fabry-Pérot resonances originated from the finite size of the graphene layer, and the characteristic Andreev surface states of unconventional superconductors. Within our analytical formalism, we identify the separate contribution from each of these subgap states to the conductance and density of states. Our results show that graphene provides an advisable tool to determine experimentally the pairing symmetry of proximity-induced unconventional superconductivity.

description: We present the implementation of GAtor, a massively parallel, first principles genetic algorithm (GA) for molecular crystal structure prediction. GAtor is written in Python and currently interfaces with the FHI-aims code to perform local optimizations and energy evaluations using dispersion-inclusive density functional theory (DFT). GAtor offers a variety of fitness evaluation, selection, crossover, and mutation schemes. Breeding operators designed specifically for molecular crystals provide a balance between exploration and exploitation. Evolutionary niching is implemented in GAtor by using machine learning to cluster the dynamically updated population by structural similarity and then employing a cluster-based fitness function. Evolutionary niching promotes uniform sampling of the potential energy surface by evolving several sub-populations, which helps overcome initial pool biases and selection biases (genetic drift). The various settings offered by GAtor increase the likelihood of locating numerous low-energy minima, including those located in disconnected, hard to reach regions of the potential energy landscape. The best structures generated are re-relaxed and re-ranked using a hierarchy of increasingly accurate DFT functionals and dispersion methods. GAtor is applied to a chemically diverse set of four past blind test targets, characterized by different types of intermolecular interactions. The experimentally observed structures and other low-energy structures are found for all four targets. In particular, for Target II, 5-cyano-3-hydroxythiophene, the top ranked putative crystal structure is a $Z^\prime$=2 structure with P$\bar{1}$ symmetry and a scaffold packing motif, which has not been reported previously.

description: The paper is a contribution to the conjecture of Kobayashi that the complement of a generic curve in the projective plane is hyperbolic, provided the degree is at least five. Previously the authors treated the cases of two quadrics and a line and three quadrics. The main results are Let C be the union of three curves in P_2 whose degrees are at least two, one of which is at least three. Then for generic such configurations the complement of C is hyperbolic and hyperbolically embedded. The same statement holds for complements of curves in generic hypersurfaces X of degree at least five and curves which are intersections of X with hypersurfaces of degree at least five. Furthermore results are shown for curves on surfaces with picard number one.

description: CO2 permeation through imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs, [BMIM][Ac], [EMIM][Ac], [OMIM][Ac], [BMIM][BF4], and [BMIM][PF6]) confined in 1.0, 2.0, and 3.5 nm γ-alumina pores was investigated using molecular dynamics simulation. It was found that the nanopore confinement effect influenced the structure of confined ILs greatly, resulting in a layered structure and anisotropic orientation of ILs. In the center of 2.0-nm pore, the long alkyl chain of [BMIM]+ tended to be parallel to the wall, providing a straight diffusion path benefiting the CO2 permeation. The CO2 diffusion coefficients in confined [EMIM][Ac], [BMIM][Ac], and [OMIM][Ac] were 2.3–4.1, 2.4–6.4, and 14.4–21.7 × 10−10 m2 s−1, respectively. This order was opposite to that in the bulk ILs, because the longer alkyl chain led to a more ordered structure, facilitating CO2 diffusion. In addition, the CO2 solubilities were 445–722 mol m−3 MPa−1 for the five ILs confined in 1.0 nm pore, which were larger than those in 2.0 and 3.5 nm pores (196–335 mol·m−3 MPa−1), due to the larger free volume. Both parallel orientation of alkyl chain and large free volume could increase the CO2 permeability in confined ILs.
The cosmic transparency measured with Type Ia supernovae: implications for intergalactic dust

description: Observations of high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe~Ia) are used to study the cosmic transparency at optical wavelengths. Assuming a flat $Λ$CDM cosmological model based on BAO and CMB results, redshift dependent deviations of SN~Ia distances are used to constrain mechanisms that would dim light. The analysis is based on the most recent Pantheon SN compilation, for which there is a $0.03\pm0.01 {\textrm \,(\rm stat)}$ mag discrepancy in the distant supernova distance moduli relative to the $Λ$CDM model anchored by supernovae at $z<0.05$. While there are known systematic uncertainties that combined could explain the observed offset, here we entertain the possibility that the discrepancy may instead be explained by scattering of supernova light in the intergalactic medium (IGM). We focus on two effects: Compton scattering by free electrons and extinction by dust in the IGM. We find that if the discrepancy is due entirely to dimming by dust, the measurements can be modeled with a cosmic dust density $Ω_{\rm IGM}^{\rm dust} = 8 \cdot 10^{-5} (1+z)^{-1}$, corresponding to an average attenuation of $2\cdot 10^{-5}$ mag Mpc$^{-1}$ in V-band. Forthcoming SN~Ia studies may provide a definitive measurement of the IGM dust properties, while still providing an unbiased estimate of cosmological parameters by introducing additional parameters in the global fits to the observations.

description: We report on the heteroepitaxial stabilization of YCrO3 ultra-thin films on LSAT (001) substrate. Using a combination of resonant X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and atomic multiplet cluster calculation, the electronic structure of YCrO3 thin film was investigated. Polarization dependent Cr L3,2 edge XAS measurement reveal the presence of an anomalous orbital polarization uncharacteristic of a 3d3 electronic system. Atomic multiplet calculations demonstrate the critical importance of charge transfer energy, Coulomb correlation strength and hopping interaction in stabilizing this unusual orbital polarized state likely connected to the bulk multiferroicity.

description: Demand Response (DR) is a program designed to match supply and demand by modifying consumption profile. Some of these programs are based on economic incentives, in which, a user is paid to reduce his energy requirements according to an estimated baseline. Literature review and practice have shown that the counter-factual models of employing baselines are vulnerable for gaming. Classical solutions of mechanism design require that agents communicate their full types which result in greater difficulties for its practical implementation. In this paper, a novel contract is developed to induce individual rationality (voluntary participation) and asymptotic incentive-compatibility (truthfulness) through probability of call, where an agent does not require to report the marginal utility. In this approach, a consumer only announces the baseline and reduction capacity, given a payment scheme that includes cost of electricity, incentive price, and penalty caused by any deviation between self-reported and actual energy consumption. The aggregator decides randomly what users are called to perform the energy reduction. As result, asymptotic truth-telling behavior in incentive-based DR is managed by the aggregator through the probability of call for each agent. Mathematical proofs and numerical studies are provided to demonstrate the properties and advantages of this contract in limiting gaming opportunities and in terms of its implementation.

description: Marine plankton that are capable of photosynthesis and also predation (termed “mixoplankton”) comprise up to 50% of those organisms traditionally termed phytoplankton. Many harmful bloom species are mixoplantonic. However, marine environmental management policies issued by governments, including the MSFD by the EU, have been designed assuming a strict dichotomy between autotrophic phytoplankton and heterotrophic plankton. Mixoplankton often differ greatly from these two categories in response to environmental pressures and have effects on the marine environment that we are only beginning to understand. While the management policies may conceptually provide scope for recognising mixoplankton, such action is rarely implemented. We suggest that the effectiveness of monitoring and management programs such as MSFD could benefit from explicit implementations regarding the role of mixoplankton. As an example, here we propose a revision of the MSFD explicitly including mixoplanktonic activity in management strategies, including descriptions of the management components that would benefit from including mixoplankton and suggests for appropriate methods.

description: Sr3Ru2O7 belongs to the family of layered strontium ruthenates and exhibits a range of unusual emergent properties, such as electron nematic behavior and metamagnetism. Here, we show that epitaxial film strain significantly modifies these phenomena. In particular, we observe enhanced magnetic interactions and an electron nematic phase that extends to much higher temperatures and over a larger magnetic field range than in bulk single crystals. Furthermore, the films show an unusual anisotropic non-Fermi liquid behavior that is controlled by the direction of the applied magnetic field. At high magnetic fields the metamagnetic transition to a ferromagnetic phase recovers isotropic Fermi-liquid behavior. The results support the interpretation that these phenomena are linked to the special features of the Fermi surface, which can be tuned by both film strain and an applied magnetic field.

description: There exists a growing interest in the properties of the light generated by hybrid systems involving a mesoscopic number of emitters as a means of providing macroscopic quantum light sources. In this work, the quantum correlations of the light emitted by a collection of emitters coupled to a generic optical cavity are studied theoretically using an effective Hamiltonian approach. Starting from the single-emitter level, we analyse the persistence of photon antibunching as the ensemble size increases. Not only is the photon blockade effect identifiable, but photon antibunching originated from destructive interference processes (the so-called unconventional antibunching) is also present. We study the dependence of these two types of negative correlations on the spectral detuning between cavity and emitters, as well as its evolution as the time delay between photon detections increases. Throughout this work, the performance of plasmonic nanocavities and dielectric microcavities is compared: despite the distinct energy scales and the differences introduced by their respectively open and closed character, the bunching and antibunching phenomenology presents remarkable similarities in both types of cavities.

description: Obesity is related to many pathophysiological changes that may result in altered drug disposition. Omeprazole is the most common option utilized for acid-related disorders ; however, the pharmacokinetic (PK) and dosing recommendations for the obese patient population are lacking. Data from 40 healthy subjects with normal weights and data from 61 obese subjects were included. The subjects all received a single dose of 20 mg of omeprazole. Nonlinear mixed effects modeling were performed to characterize the effect of obesity on omeprazole PK. A one-compartment model with twelve transit absorption compartments and linear elimination described the data best. A lower clearance was observed in the obese patient population than in the normal-weight subjects. Moreover, the CYP2C19 genotype was identified as a significant covariate for clearance. Given the potential adverse events related to high exposure to proton pump inhibitors over time, obese patients may require a lower dose of omeprazole for long-term treatment. Further studies in obese individuals into other drugs metabolized by CYP2C19 are warranted, especially those with a narrow therapeutic window. www.chictr.org.cn identifier is ChiCTR2100046578; www.chinadrugtrials.org.cn identifier is CTR20190175.

Radiative Corrections to the Kinetic Couplings in Nonrelativistic Lattice QCD

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The heavy-quark mass and wave function renormalizations, energy shift, and radiative corrections to two important couplings, the so-called kinetic couplings, in nonrelativistic lattice QCD are determined to leading order in tadpole-improved perturbation theory. The scales at which to evaluate the running QCD coupling for these quantities, except the wave function renormalization, are obtained using the Lepage-Mackenzie prescription. When the bare quark mass is greater than the inverse lattice spacing, the kinetic coupling corrections are roughly 10\% of the tree-level coupling strengths; these corrections grow quickly as the bare quark mass becomes small. A need for computing the two-loop corrections to the energy shift and mass renormalization is demonstrated.

description: Clustering is a technique for grouping data objects based on similarity features that is widely used. Similarity metrics such as Euclidean, cosine, and others are used to generate similarity features. Traditional clustering approaches like k-means and other graph-based strategies are commonly used to find clusters. However, in order to determine the number of clusters, these approaches necessitate user intervention. Traditional clustering algorithms divide data without considering the number of clusters or cluster tendency beforehand. By using either k-means or graph-based clustering methods with an intractable ‘k' value set by the consumer, there is a risk of bad clustering performance. As a result, for prior knowledge of the number of clusters in clustering, it is essential to concentrate on cluster tendency methods. The various visual access tendency (VAT) methods for determining the number of clusters are presented in this paper.
