description: CONTEXT: Accurate physical properties of eclipsing stars provide important constraints on models of stellar structure and evolution, especially when combined with spectroscopic information on their chemical composition. Empirical calibrations of the data also lead to accurate mass and radius estimates for exoplanet host stars. Finally, accurate data for unusual stellar subtypes, such as Am stars, also help to unravel the cause(s) of their peculiarities. AIMS: We aim to determine the masses, radii, effective temperatures, detailed chemical composition and rotational speeds for the Am-type eclipsing binaries SW CMa (A4-5m) and HW CMa (A6m) and compare them with similar normal stars. METHODS: Accurate radial velocities from the Digital Speedometers of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics were combined with previously published uvby photometry to determine precise physical parameters for the four stars. A detailed abundance analysis was performed from high-resolution spectra obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope (La Palma). RESULTS: We find the masses of the (relatively evolved) stars in SW CMa to be 2.10 and 2.24 solar masses, with radii of 2.50 and 3.01 solar radii, while the (essentially zero-age) stars in HW CMa have masses of 1.72 and 1.78 solar masses, radii of 1.64 and 1.66 solar radii -- all with errors well below 2%. Detailed atmospheric abundances for one or both components were determined for 14 elements in SW CMa ([Fe/H] = +0.49/+0.61 dex) and 16 in HW CMa ([Fe/H] = +0.33/+0.32 dex); both abundance patterns are characteristic of metallic-line stars. Both systems are well fit by current stellar evolution models for assumed bulk abundances of [Fe/H] = +0.05 and +0.23, respectively ([alpha/Fe] = 0.0), and ages of about 700 Myr and 160 Myr.

description: College English courses are foundational for nearly all college students in China. The landscape of College English teaching in China has undergone iterative reforms, leading to a persistent debate between academic English and general English. While these reforms have generally enhanced university English teaching, there has been a tendency to overemphasize model constructs in college English teaching research.
In response to the evolving integration of college English cultural teaching models and modern information technology, several scholars have endeavored to create intelligent systems that extend the reach and depth of modern information technology in college English cultural education. These initiatives unlock the vast potential of modern information technology, paving the way for innovative directions in college English cultural teaching.
This paper draws upon the work of Zhang and others who have identified effective methods for teaching English using mobile devices. By synthesizing these advancements, the paper contributes to the ongoing discourse surrounding the optimal blend of technology and pedagogy in college English teaching, while maintaining scientific and efficient approaches.

description: Vision-based estimation of the motion of a moving target is usually formulated as a bearing-only estimation problem where the visual measurement is modeled as a bearing vector. Although the bearing-only approach has been studied for decades, a fundamental limitation of this approach is that it requires extra lateral motion of the observer to enhance the target's observability. Unfortunately, the extra lateral motion conflicts with the desired motion of the observer in many tasks. It is well-known that, once a target has been detected in an image, a bounding box that surrounds the target can be obtained. Surprisingly, this common visual measurement especially its size information has not been well explored up to now. In this paper, we propose a new bearing-angle approach to estimate the motion of a target by modeling its image bounding box as bearing-angle measurements. Both theoretical analysis and experimental results show that this approach can significantly enhance the observability without relying on additional lateral motion of the observer. The benefit of the bearing-angle approach comes with no additional cost because a bounding box is a standard output of object detection algorithms. The approach simply exploits the information that has not been fully exploited in the past. No additional sensing devices or special detection algorithms are required.

description: The meson spectra provide insight into the particle production mechanism and interaction in the hadronic and quark gluon plasma (QGP) phases. The detailed study of systematics of meson spectra is important also because it acts as ingredient for estimating the hadronic decay backgrounds in the photon, single lepton and dilepton spectra which are the penetrating probes of quark gluon plasma. In this work, we parameterize experimentally measured pion spectra and then obtain the spectra of other light mesons using a property known as $m_T$ scaling. The $m_{T}$ scaled spectra for each meson is compared with experimental data for p+p, d+Au and Au+Au systems at $\surd s_{NN} $ = 200 GeV. The agreement of the $m_{T}$ scaled and experimental data shapes are excellent in most cases and their fitted relative normalization gives ratio of meson to pion $m_T$ spectra. These ratios are useful to obtain the hadronic decay contribution in photonic and leptonic channels but also point to the quantitative changes in the dynamics of the heavy ion collision over p+p collisions. It is shown that, the particles with charm contents behave differently as compared to pions in d+Au systems and particles either with strange or charm contents behave differently from pions in Au+Au systems. For Au+Au system, three centrality classes have been studied which reveal that for the particles like kaon and $ϕ$, peripheral collision data is better reproduced as compared to central and their relative ratios with pions also increase as the collisions become more central.

Extending the M_(bh)-sigma diagram with dense nuclear star clusters

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Abridged: Four new nuclear star cluster masses, M_nc, plus seven upper limits, are provided for galaxies with previously determined black hole masses, M_bh. Together with a sample of 64 galaxies with direct M_bh measurements, 13 of which additionally now have M_nc measurements rather than only upper limits, plus an additional 29 dwarf galaxies with available M_nc measurements and velocity dispersions sigma, an (M_bh + M_nc)-sigma diagram is constructed. Given that major dry galaxy merger events preserve the M_bh/L ratio, and given that L ~ sigma^5 for luminous galaxies, it is first noted that the observation M_bh ~ sigma^5 is consistent with expectations. For the fainter elliptical galaxies it is known that L ~ sigma^2, and assuming a constant M_nc/L ratio (Ferrarese et al.), the expectation that M_nc ~ sigma^2 is in broad agreement with our new observational result that M_nc ~ sigma^{1.57\pm0.24}. This exponent is however in contrast to the value of ~4 which has been reported previously and interpreted in terms of a regulating feedback mechanism from stellar winds.

description: The relationship between measures of temperament, growth performance, and social hierarchy in finishing beef cattle were explored in two experiments. In experiment 1, high OCS (objective chute score) steers had periods of significantly higher ADG (P < 0.01), but OCS had no relationship with dominance ranking (P > 0.47). Conversely, slow exit velocity (EV) correlated with higher ranking (P ≤ 0.06), but EV had no relationship with performance (P > 0.37) in a competitive environment. Rank showed no relationship with performance (P > .58). In experiment 2, steers with fast EV had periods of decreased growth (P ≤ .06), intake (P ≤ .06), and gain:feed (G:F; P = 0.02). There were no interactions between EV, OCS, and monensin or between EV and monensin. Monensin and EV together, however, significantly impacted overall (days 0 – end) G:F (P = 0.02) and gain (P = 0.05). Overall, these studies further confirm the idea that EV affects performance as does OCS in concert with monensin. Moreover, it further confirms that different measures of temperament correlated to different aspects of performance and should not be lumped together under the general term “temperament” when describing its relationship with performance.

description: The low-temperature magnetic structure of NdFeAsO has been revisited using neutron powder diffraction and symmetry analysis using the Sarah representational analysis program. Four magnetic models with one magnetic variable for each of the Nd and Fe sublattices were tested. The best fit was obtained using a model with Fe moments pointing along the c-direction, and Nd moments along the a-direction. This signals a significant interplay between rare-earth and transition metal magnetism, which results in a spin-reorientation of the Fe sublattice upon ordering of the Nd moments. All models that fit the data well, including collinear models with more than one magnetic variable per sublattice, were found to have an Fe moment of 0.5 BM and a Nd moment of 0.9 BM, demonstrating that the low-temperature Fe moment is not substantially enhanced compared to the spin-density wave (SDW) state.

description: The high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) SMC X-1 exhibits a superorbital modulation with a dramatically varying period ranging between ~40 d and ~60 d. This research studies the time-frequency properties of the superorbital modulation of SMC X-1 based on the observations made by the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) onboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE).We analyzed the entire ASM database collected since 1996. The Hilbert-Huang Transform (HHT), developed for non-stationary and nonlinear time series analysis, was adopted to derive the instantaneous superorbital frequency. The resultant Hilbert spectrum is consistent with the dynamic power spectrum while it shows more detailed information in both the time and frequency domains. The RXTE observations manifest that the superorbital modulation period was mostly betweenn ~50 d and ~65 d, whenas it changed to ~45 d around MJD 50,800 and MJD 54,000. Our analysis further indicates that the instantaneous frequency changed in a time scale of hundreds of days between ~MJD 51,500 and ~MJD 53,500. Based on the instantaneous phase defined by HHT, we folded the ASM light curve to derive a superorbital profile, from which an asymmetric feature and a low state with barely any X-ray emissions (lasting for ~0.3 cycles) were observed. We also calculated the correlation between the mean period and the amplitude of the superorbital modulation. The result is similar to the recently discovered relationship between the superorbital cycle length and the mean X-ray flux for Her X-1.

description: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a common human pathogen, infecting the majority of individuals by adulthood. Although most HPV infections resolve spontaneously, persistent infection with certain HPV types contributes to cervical, anogenital, and oropharyngeal cancers, and is also responsible for a wide variety of warts. Despite the significant impact of HPV on human health, many details of its cellular entry mechanism remain a mystery. From the host cell surface, HPV is internalized by endocytosis, delivered to the endosome, and then transported to the Golgi apparatus. Upon mitosis, HPV exits the Golgi and enters the nucleus during mitotic nuclear envelope breakdown. Once in the nucleus, the viral genome is delivered to the nucleoplasm and replication ensues. Throughout this process, HPV remains largely protected within organelles and transport vesicles, presumably to avoid detection by the host cell. How then does HPV direct itself along the proper route for infection? This dissertation provides a mechanistic roadmap for how HPV transits two distinct organelles – the endosome and the Golgi – en route to the nucleus to establish infection, with particular focus on the oncogenic HPV type 16 (HPV16). Specifically, this dissertation demonstrates how the cytosolic protein p120 catenin targets HPV to the endosomal membrane protein gamma-secretase. This is a critical step because gamma-secretase promotes insertion of the viral capsid protein L2 across the endosome membrane. Membrane insertion exposes a portion of L2 to the cytosol, enabling this viral protein to recruit cytosolic sorting factors that target the virus to the Golgi en route for infection. Hence, these studies identify a new host factor, p120 catenin, that facilitates the recruitment of a viral protein to the host gamma-secretase, a key event that drives the virus along a productive entry pathway. Upon Golgi arrival, HPV must transit this complex organelle to cause infection. This dissertation reveals the mechanism by which HPV transits the Golgi apparatus – by directly engaging the COPI sorting complex. Direct binding of HPV to the COPI retrograde sorting complex is essential for HPV to exit the Golgi and reach the nucleus. Though COPI is a highly conserved cellular complex, this is the first evidence of a virus that acts as a cargo for COPI during viral entry. These studies provide mechanistic insight into how HPV hijacks classic retrograde trafficking machinery to support its own vesicular transport through the Golgi.

description: We study forecasts for the accuracy of the determination of cosmological parameters from future large scale photometric surveys obtained using the full shape of the 2-point galaxy angular correlation function. The effects of linear redshift-space distortion, photometric redshift gaussian errors, galaxy bias and non-linearities in the power spectrum are included on our analysis. The Fisher information matrix is constructed with the full covariance matrix, including the correlation between nearby redshift shells arising from the photometric redshift error. We show that under some reasonable assumptions, a survey such as the imminent Dark Energy Survey should be able to constrain the dark energy equation of state parameter w and the cold dark matter density Ω_{cdm} with a precison of the order of 20% and 13% respectively from the full shape of the angular correlation function alone. When combined with priors from other observations the precision in the determination of these parameters improve to 8% and 4% respectively.

description: This report from the Southwest Fisheries Science Center covers 10 ESA-listed Evolutionarily Significant Units (ESUs) and Distinct Population Segments (DPSs) that lie wholly or partially in California. In this review, we consider 1) new information relevant to the delineation of ESU/DPS boundaries, and 2) new information on status and trends in abundance, productivity, spatial structure and diversity specifically addressed by viability criteria previously developed by Technical Recovery Teams (TRTs). These viability assessments summarize current information (through the 2014–2015 spawning year where available) with respect to the viability criteria developed by the TRTs. Consequently, the current assessments consider not only changes in populations that have occurred since the 2010 assessments but also the status of populations and ESUs/DPSs in relation to the viability criteria developed by the TRTs.  For eight of the ESUs/DPSs (Southern Oregon/Northern California Coho Salmon, Central California Coast Coho Salmon, California Coastal Chinook Salmon, Northern California Steelhead, Central California Coast Steelhead, South-central California Steelhead, Southern California Steelhead, and California Central Valley Steelhead) the new information suggests that there has been no change in extinction risk since 2010 viability assessments. For two ESUs (Central Valley Spring-run Chinook Salmon, and Sacramento River Winter-run Chinook Salmon) the new information suggests a change in extinction risk. The viability of Central Valley Spring-run Chinook salmon appears to have improved since the 2010 assessment, but this ESU is far from being viable and is still facing relatively high extinction risk. The viability of Sacramento River Winter-run Chinook Salmon has been reduced and the ESU faces greater extinction risk since the 2010 assessment.

description: CARMENES (Calar Alto high-Resolution search for M dwarfs with Exoearths with Near-infrared and optical Échelle Spectrographs) started a new planet survey on M-dwarfs in January this year. The new high-resolution spectrographs are operating in the visible and near-infrared at Calar Alto Observatory. They will perform high-accuracy radial-velocity measurements (goal 1 m s−1) of about 300 M-dwarfs with the aim to detect low-mass planets within habitable zones. We characterised the candidate sample for CARMENES and provide fundamental parameters for these stars in order to constrain planetary properties and understand star-planet systems. Using state-of-the-art model atmospheres (PHOENIX-ACES) and χ2-minimization with a downhill-simplex method we determine effective temperature, surface gravity and metallicity [Fe/H] for high-resolution spectra of around 480 stars of spectral types M0.0-6.5V taken with FEROS, CAFE and HRS. We find good agreement between the models and our observed high-resolution spectra. We show the performance of the algorithm, as well as results, parameter and spectral type distributions for the CARMENES candidate sample, which is used to define the CARMENES target sample. We also present first preliminary results obtained from CARMENES spectra.

description: Telescope Point Spread Function (PSF) quality is critical for realising the potential of cosmic weak lensing observations to constrain dark energy and test General Relativity. In this paper we use quantitative weak gravitational lensing measures to inform the precision of lens optical alignment, with specific reference to the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We compute optics spot diagrams and calculate the shear and flexion of the PSF as a function of position on the focal plane. For perfect optical alignment we verify the high quality of the DES optical design, finding a maximum PSF contribution to the weak lensing shear of 0.04 near the edge of the focal plane. However this can be increased by a factor of approximately three if the lenses are only just aligned within their maximum specified tolerances. We calculate the E and B-mode shear and flexion variance as a function of de-centre or tilt of each lens in turn. We find tilt accuracy to be a few times more important than de-centre, depending on the lens considered. Finally we consider the compound effect of de-centre and tilt of multiple lenses simultaneously, by sampling from a plausible range of values of each parameter. We find that the compound effect can be around twice as detrimental as when considering any one lens alone. Furthermore, this combined effect changes the conclusions about which lens is most important to align accurately. For DES, the tilt of the first two lenses is the most important.

description: As the nearest open cluster to the Sun, the Hyades is an important benchmark for calibrating stellar properties such as rotation and magnetic activity. Its proximity, however, means that cluster members are scattered across a wide area of the sky; previous studies of rotation relied on wide-area surveys designed to discover transiting exoplanets. I will present rotation periods measured using K2 data of the Hyades, including the first rotation periods of less than 1 day for cluster members and for fully convective Hyads. Discrepancies between Hyades data and gyrochronology models imply that we still do not fully understand how magnetic fields affect stellar spin-down. I will discuss how we can use the Hyades and the co-eval Praesepe cluster to test theories of stellar magnetic fields.

Star-Formation Rates

description: OB associations are remnants of star formation on a large scale, producing everything from O- and B-type stars, down to the lowest mass brown dwarfs. OB associations represent the typical mode of star formation in the Galaxy. But is this process monolithic? We present the results of a survey for new, solar mass (0.7 - 1.3 Msun) members of Sco-Cen, the nearest OB Association to the Sun. We identify ~150 new members and place the known B/A/F/G/K/M-type members on the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. From these data, we construct an age map of Sco-Cen, occupying approximately 2,000 square degrees on the sky. These results indicate there is substantial substructure in Sco-Cen, and present the possibility that star formation on the largest scales can be considered a collection of many individual, small-scale star formation events along a giant molecular cloud.

description: The Scaling of microchip technologies, from micron to submicron and now to deep sub-micron (DSM) range, has enabled large scale systems-on-chip (SoC). In future deep submicron (DSM) designs, the interconnect effect will definitely dominate performance. Network-on-Chip (NoC) has become a promising solution to bus-based communication infrastructure limitations. NoC designs usually targets Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), however, the fabrication process costs a lot. Implementing a NoC on an FPGA does not only reduce the cost but also decreases programming and verification cycles. In this paper, an Asynchronous NoC has been implemented on a SPARTAN-3E\textregistered device. The NoC supports basic transactions of both widely used on-chip interconnection standards, the Open Core Protocol (OCP) and the WISHBONE Protocol. Although, FPGA devices are synchronous in nature, it has been shown that they can be used to prototype a Global Asynchronous Local Synchronous (GALS) systems, comprising an Asynchronous NoC connecting IP cores operating in different clock domains.

description: We investigated nonlinear absorption and photobleaching processes in a liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) doped with light-sensitive azobenzene moiety. A conventional one-dimensional holographic grating was recorded in the material with the use of two crossed UV laser beams and the angular dependence of the diffraction efficiency in the vicinity of the Bragg peak was analyzed. These measurements gave information on the depth to which trans to cis isomerisation had progressed into the sample as a function of the UV irradiation time. Using a numerical model that takes into account the propagation of writing beams and rate equations for the local concentration of the absorbing trans conformer, we computed the expected spatial distribution of the trans and cis conformers and the shape of the corresponding Bragg diffraction peak for different irradiation doses. Due to residual absorption of the cis conformers the depth of the recording progresses logarithmically with time and is limited by the thermal relaxation from the cis to trans conformation.

description: We present the results of a pilot survey for neutral hydrogen (HI) 21 cm absorption in the Arecibo Legacy Fast Arecibo L-Band Feed Array (ALFALFA) Survey. This project is a wide-area "blind" search for HI absorption in the local universe, spanning -650 km/s < cz < 17,500 km/s and covering 517.0 square degrees (7% of the full ALFALFA survey). The survey is sensitive to HI absorption lines stronger than 7.7 mJy (8983 radio sources) and is 90% complete for lines stronger than 11.0 mJy (7296 sources). The total redshift interval sensitive to all damped Lyman alpha (DLA) systems (N_HI >= 2x10^20 cm^-2) is Delta z = 7.0 (129 objects, assuming T_s = 100 K and covering fraction unity); for super-DLAs (N_HI >= 2x10^21 cm^-2) it is Delta z= 128.2 (2353 objects). We re-detect the intrinsic HI absorption line in UGC 6081 but detect no intervening absorption line systems. We compute a 95% confidence upper limit on the column density frequency distribution function f(N_HI,X) spanning four orders of magnitude in column density, 10^19 (T_s/100 K)(1/f) cm^-2 < N_HI < 10^23 (T_s/100 K)(1/f) cm^-2, that is consistent with previous redshifted optical damped Ly alpha surveys and the aggregate HI 21 cm emission in the local universe. The detection rate is in agreement with extant observations. This pilot survey suggests that an absorption line search of the complete ALFALFA survey --- or any higher redshift, larger bandwidth, or more sensitive survey, such as those planned for Square Kilometer Array pathfinders or a low frequency lunar array --- will either make numerous detections or will set a strong statistical lower limit on the typical spin temperature of neutral hydrogen gas.

description: Signals with sparse frame representations comprise a much more realistic model of nature than that with orthonomal bases. Studies about the signal recovery associated with such sparsity models have been one of major focuses in compressed sensing. In such settings, one important and widely used signal recovery approach is known as $\ell_1$-synthesis (or Basis Pursuit). We present in this article a more effective performance analysis (than what are available) of this approach in which the dictionary $\Dbf$ may be highly, and even perfectly correlated. Under suitable conditions on the sensing matrix $\Phibf$, an error bound of the recovered signal $\hat{\fbf}$ (by the $\ell_1$-synthesis method) is established. Such an error bound is governed by the decaying property of $\tilde{\Dbf}_{\text{o}}^*\fbf$, where $\fbf$ is the true signal and $\tilde{\Dbf}_{\text{o}}$ denotes the optimal dual frame of $\Dbf$ in the sense that $\|\tilde{\Dbf}_{\text{o}}^*\hat{\fbf}\|_1$ produces the smallest $\|\tilde{\Dbf}^*\tilde{\fbf}\|_1$ in value among all dual frames $\tilde{\Dbf}$ of $\Dbf$ and all feasible signals $\tilde{\fbf}$. This new performance analysis departs from the usual description of the combo $\Phibf\Dbf$, and places the description on $\Phibf$. Examples are demonstrated to show that when the usual analysis fails to explain the working performance of the synthesis approach, the newly established results do.

Unification and Phenomenology of F-Theory GUTs with U(1)_PQ

description: We undertake a phenomenological study of SU(5) F-theory GUT models with an additional U(1)_{PQ} symmetry. In such models, breaking SU(5) with hypercharge flux leads to the presence of non-GUT multiplets in the spectrum. We study the effect these have on the unification of gauge couplings, including two-loop running as well as low- and high-scale threshold corrections. We use the requirement of unification to constrain the size of thresholds from KK modes of SU(5) gauge and matter fields. Assuming the non-GUT multiplets play the role of messengers of gauge mediation leads to controlled non-universalities in the sparticle spectrum while maintaining grand unification, and we study the LHC phenomenology of this scenario. We find that the MSSM spectrum may become compressed or stretched out {by up to a factor of three} depending on the distribution of hypercharge flux. We present a set of benchmark points whose production cross-sections and decays we investigate, and argue that precision kinematic edge measurements will allow the LHC to distinguish between our model and mGMSB.

description: Dynamic models for the atmospheres of C-rich Asymptotic Giant Branch stars are quite advanced and have been overall successful in reproducing spectroscopic and photometric observations. Interferometry provides independent information and is thus an important technique to study the atmospheric stratification and to further constrain the dynamic models. We observed a sample of six C-rich AGBs with the mid infrared interferometer VLTI/MIDI. These observations, combined with photometric and spectroscopic data from the literature, are compared with synthetic observables derived from dynamic model atmospheres (DMA, Eriksson et al. 2014). The SEDs can be reasonably well modelled and the interferometry supports the extended and multi-component structure of the atmospheres, but some differences remain. We discuss the possible reasons for these differences and we compare the stellar parameters derived from this comparison with stellar evolution models. Finally, we point out the high potential of MATISSE, the second generation VLTI instrument allowing interferometric imaging in the L, M, and N bands, for further progress in this field.

description: With the ever increasing number of active satellites in space, the rising demand for larger formations of small satellites and the commercialization of the space industry (so-called New Space), the realization of manufacturing processes in orbit comes closer to reality. Reducing launch costs and risks, allowing for faster on-demand deployment of individually configured satellites as well as the prospect for possible on-orbit servicing for satellites makes the idea of realizing an in-orbit factory promising. In this paper, we present a novel approach to an in-orbit factory of small satellites covering a digital process twin, AI-based fault detection, and teleoperated robot-control, which are being researched as part of the "AI-enabled Cyber-Physical In-Orbit Factory" project. In addition to the integration of modern automation and Industry 4.0 production approaches, the question of how artificial intelligence (AI) and learning approaches can be used to make the production process more robust, fault-tolerant and autonomous is addressed. This lays the foundation for a later realisation of satellite production in space in the form of an in-orbit factory. Central aspect is the development of a robotic AIT (Assembly, Integration and Testing) system where a small satellite could be assembled by a manipulator robot from modular subsystems. Approaches developed to improving this production process with AI include employing neural networks for optical and electrical fault detection of components. Force sensitive measuring and motion training helps to deal with uncertainties and tolerances during assembly. An AI-guided teleoperated control of the robot arm allows for human intervention while a Digital Process Twin represents process data and provides supervision during the whole production process. Approaches and results towards automated satellite production are presented in detail.
