description: Hydrodynamical, i.e. multi-dimensional and time-dependent, model atmospheres of late-type stars have reached a high level of realism. They are commonly applied in high-fidelity work on stellar abundances but also allow the study of processes that are not modelled in standard, one-dimensional hydrostatic model atmospheres. Here, we discuss two observational aspects that emerge from such processes, the photometric granulation background and the spectroscopic microturbulence. We use CO5BOLD hydrodynamical model atmospheres to characterize the total granular brightness fluctuations and characteristic time scale for FGK stars. Emphasis is put on the diagnostic potential of the granulation background for constraining the fundamental atmospheric parameters. We find a clear metallicity dependence of the granulation background. The comparison between the model predictions and available observational constraints at solar metallicity shows significant differences, that need further clarification. Concerning microturbulence, we report on the derivation of a theoretical calibration based on CO5BOLD models, which shows good correspondence with the measurements for stars in the Hyades. We emphasize the importance of a consistent procedure when determining the microturbulence, and point to limitations of the commonly applied description of microturbulence in hydrostatic model atmospheres.

description: The (001) surface of SrTiO3 were transformed from insulating to conducting after Ar+ irradiation, producing a quasi two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG). This conducting surface layer can introduce Rashba spin orbital coupling due to the broken inversion symmetry normal to the plane. The spin splitting of such a surface has recently been demonstrated by magneto-resistance and angular resolved photoemission spectra measurements. Here we present experiments evidencing a large spin-charge conversion at the surface. We use spin pumping to inject a spin current from NiFe film into the surface, and measure the resulting charge current. The results indicate that the Rashba effect at the surface can be used for efficient charge-spin conversion, and the large efficiency is due to the multi-d-orbitals and surface corrugation. It holds great promise in oxide spintronics.

description: Knowledge Organization Systems (e.g. taxonomies and ontologies) continue to contribute benefits in the design of information systems by providing a shared conceptual underpinning for developers, users, and automated systems. However, the standard mechanisms for the management of KOSs changes are inadequate for systems built on top of thousands of data sources or with the involvement of hundreds of individuals. In this work, we review standard sources of change for KOSs (e.g. institutional shifts; standards cycles; cultural and political; distribution, etc) and then proceed to catalog new sources of change for KOSs ranging from massively cooperative development to always-on automated extraction systems. Finally, we reflect on what this means for the design and management of KOSs.

description: A cluster-transfer experiment of $^9\rm{Be}(^9\rm{Be},^{14}\rm{C}\rightarrowα+^{10}\rm{Be})α$ at an incident energy of 45 MeV was carried out in order to investigate the molecular structure in high-lying resonant states in $^{14}$C. This reaction is of extremely large $Q$-value, making it an excellent case to select the reaction mechanism and the final states in outgoing nuclei. The high-lying resonances in $^{14}$C are reconstructed for three sets of well discriminated final states in $^{10}$Be. The results confirm the previous decay measurements with clearly improved decay-channel selections and show also a new state at 23.5(1) MeV. The resonant states at 22.4(3) and 24.0(3) MeV decay primarily into the typical molecular states at about 6 MeV in $^{10}$Be, indicating a well developed cluster structure in these high-lying states in $^{14}$C. Further measurements of more states of this kind are suggested.

description: Seismology represents a unique method to probe the interiors of giant planets. Recently, Saturn's f-modes have been indirectly observed in its rings, and there is strong evidence for the detection of Jupiter global modes by means of ground-based, spatially-resolved, velocimetry measurements. We propose to exploit Juno's extremely accurate radio science data by looking at the gravity perturbations that Jupiter's acoustic modes would produce. We evaluate the perturbation to Jupiter's gravitational field using the oscillation spectrum of a polytrope with index 1 and the corresponding radial eigenfunctions. We show that Juno will be most sensitive to the fundamental mode ($n=0$), unless its amplitude is smaller than 0.5 cm/s, i.e. 100 times weaker than the $n \sim\ 4 - 11$ modes detected by spatially-resolved velocimetry. The oscillations yield contributions to Juno's measured gravitational coefficients similar to or larger than those expected from shallow zonal winds (extending to depths less than 300 km). In the case of a strong f-mode (radial velocity $\sim$ 30 cm/s), these contributions would become of the same order as those expected from deep zonal winds (extending to 3000 km), especially on the low degree zonal harmonics, therefore requiring a new approach to the analysis of Juno data.

description: In this investigation, Gd and Mn co-doped Bi$_{0.85}$Gd$_{0.15}$Fe$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$O$_3$ (x=0.0-0.15) nanoparticles have been prepared to report the influence of co-substitution on their structural, optical, magnetic and electrical properties. Due to simultaneous substitution of Gd and Mn in BiFeO$_3$, the crystal structure has been modified from rhombohedral (R3c) to orthorhombic (Pn21a) and the Fe-O-Fe bond angle and Fe-O bond length have been changed. For Mn doping up to 10 % in Bi$_{0.85}$Gd$_{0.15}$Fe$_{1-x}$Mn$_x$O$_3$ nanoparticles, the saturation magnetization (Ms) has been enhanced significantly, however, for a further increase of doping up to 15 %, the Ms has started to reduce again. The co-substitution of Gd and Mn in BiFeO$_3$ nanoparticles also demonstrates a strong reduction in the optical band gap energy and electrical resistivity compared to that of undoped BiFeO$_3$.

description: We have conducted a near-infrared monitoring campaign at the UK InfraRed Telescope, of the Local Group spiral galaxy M33. The main aim was to identify stars in the very final stage of their evolution, and for which the luminosity is more directly related to the birth mass than the more numerous less--evolved giant stars that continue to increase in luminosity. In first instance, only the central square kiloparsec were monitored and analysed, with the UIST camera. Photometry was obtained for 18,398 stars; of these 812 stars were found to be variable, most of which are asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We constructed the birth mass function and hence derived the star formation history. These stars are also important dust factories. We measure their dust production rates from a combination of our data with Spitzer Space Telescope mid-IR photometry. The mass loss rates are seen to increase with increasing strength of pulsation and with increasing bolometric luminosity. We construct a 2D map of the mass return rate, showing a radial decline but also local enhancements due to the concentration of red supergiants. We conclude that star formation in the central region of M33 can only be sustained if gas is accreted from further out in the disc or from circum--galactic regions. By using data of wide-field camera (WFCAM), the campaign was expanded to cover two orders of magnitude larger area, comprising the disc of M33 and its spiral arms. Photometry was obtained for 403,734 stars; of these 4643 stars were found to be variable. We here present the star formation history across the disc of M33.

description: Blazar emission models are usually divided into two big families, leptonic and hadronic, according to the particles which are responsible for the gamma-ray component of their spectral energy distributions. Even though leptonic models have been successful in explaining the gamma-ray emission from most blazars, hadronic models still present an intriguing alternative. They have the unique advantage to link the emission of photons, neutrinos, and cosmic rays from the astrophysical source. We have developed a stationary one-zone lepto-hadronic code to model the emission from blazars in both leptonic and hadronic scenarios. In this contribution we focus on hadronic modeling of a few selected TeV blazars of the BL Lac type and the radio galaxy Centaurus A detected by Cherenkov telescopes. We study in particular their associated neutrino emission, for different hadronic scenarios, and how it compares to the sensitivity of current neutrino detectors.

title: Microbial and Metabolic Dynamics in Sponges under Ocean Acidification
Creators: name: Efremova, Jana
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: Ocean acidification (OA) poses a significant threat to marine ecosystems, and benthic organisms must develop adaptive strategies. Despite being frequently regarded as ‘winner taxa’, we lack a comprehensive understanding of how sponges tolerate stress and undergo positive acclimatization. Marine sponges can be categorized as high or low microbial abundance (HMA or LMA) species, which may adopt distinct strategies to maintain homeostasis and fitness under changing conditions.This study investigated adaptive traits of the HMA sponge Chondrosia reniformis and the LMA sponge Spirastrella cunctatrix by comparing microbial and metabolic shifts in sponge holobionts collected from a natural CO2 vent system and a control pH site in Ischia, Italy. Microbial diversity and core microbiomes changed for both species in response to OA. Morphologically, S. cunctatrix,/i> exhibited tissue necrosis accompanied by reduced oscula and water canal sizes, indicating a stress�induced dysbiosis and microbial instability. In contrast, C. reniformis appeared to benefit from a highly diverse microbiome with functional redundancy and local microbiome stability, promoting acclimatization to OA. NMR-based metabolomics revealed stable metabolite profiles across sites for C. reniformis, indicating metabolic homeostasis, whereas metabolic shifts in S. cunctatrix,/i> suggested OA interference in several pathways, including osmoregulation and energy metabolism. To expand on organismal acclimatization processes towards biochemical exchanges with the environment, a new in situ sampling methodology was developed. The study of inhaled and exhaled water fluxes of filter-feeders was improved using a submarine peristaltic pump, which was tested on C. reniformis. The new methodology can be applied to various ecological research topics, such as nutrient cycling, filter-feeding fluxes, plankton dynamics, and seawater metabolomics. This dissertation compares diverse OA acclimatization strategies of two co-occurring Porifera species in a CO2 vent system based on microbiome and metabolic patterns. Moreover, parallel studies of biochemical exchanges with seawater are crucial to reconstruct these adaptation mechanisms.

description: We use a three-body Continuum Discretized Coupled Channel (CDCC) model to investigate Coulomb and nuclear effects in breakup and reaction cross sections. The breakup of the projectile is simulated by a finite number of square integrable wave functions. First we show that the scattering matrices can be split in a nuclear term, and in a Coulomb term. This decomposition is based on the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, and requires the scattering wave functions. We present two different methods to separate both effects. Then, we apply this separation to breakup and reaction cross sections of 7Li + 208Pb. For breakup, we investigate various aspects, such as the role of the alpha + t continuum, the angular-momentum distribution, and the balance between Coulomb and nuclear effects. We show that there is a large ambiguity in defining the 'Coulomb' and 'nuclear' breakup cross sections, since both techniques, although providing the same total breakup cross sections, strongly differ for the individual components. We suggest a third method which could be efficiently used to address convergence problems at large angular momentum. For reaction cross sections, interference effects are smaller, and the nuclear contribution is dominant above the Coulomb barrier. We also draw attention on different definitions of the reaction cross section which exist in the literature, and which may induce small, but significant, differences in the numerical values.

description: We generalize the heuristic parameter choice rule of Hanke-Raus for quadratic regularization to general variational regularization for solving linear as well as nonlinear ill-posed inverse problems in Banach spaces. Under source conditions formulated as variational inequalities, we obtain a posteriori error estimates in term of Bregman distance. By imposing certain conditions on the random noise, we establish four convergence results; one relies on the source conditions and the other three do not depend on any source conditions. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the performance.

description: Context. In spite of the numerous studies of low-luminosity galaxies in different environments, there is still no consensus about their formation scenario. In particular, a large number of galaxies displaying extremely low-surface brightnesses have been detected in the last year, and the nature of these objects is under discussion. Aims. In this paper we report the detection of two extended low-surface brightness (LSB) objects (mueff_g'~27 mag) found, in projection, next to NGC 3193 and in the zone of the Hickson Compact Group (HCG) 44, respectively. Methods. We analyzed deep, high-quality, GEMINI-GMOS images with ELLIPSE within IRAF in order to obtain their brightness profiles and structural parameters. We also search for the presence of globular clusters (GC) in these fields. Results. We have found that, if these LSB galaxies were at the distances of NGC 3193 and HCG 44, they would show sizes and luminosities similar to those of the ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) found in the Coma cluster and other associations. In that case, their sizes would be rather larger than those displayed by the Local Group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies. We have detected a few unresolved sources in the sky zone occupied by these galaxies showing colors and brightnesses typical of blue globular clusters. Conclusions. From the comparison of the properties of the galaxies presented in this work, with those of similar objects reported in the literature, we have found that LSB galaxies display sizes covering a quite extended continous range (reff ~ 0.3 - 4.5 kpc), in contrast to "normal" early-type galaxies, which shows reff ~ 1.0 kpc with a low dispersion. This fact might be pointing to different formation processes for both types of galaxies.

The violent white dwarf merger scenario for the progenitors of type Ia supernovae

description: Recent observations suggest that some type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) originate from the merging of two carbon-oxygen white dwarfs (CO WDs). Meanwhile, recent hydrodynamical simulations have indicated that the accretion-induced collapse may be avoided under certain conditions when double WDs merge violently. However, the properties of SNe Ia from this violent merger scenario are highly dependent on a particular mass-accretion stage, the so-called WD + He subgiant channel, during which the primary WD is able to increase its mass by accreting He-rich material from a He subgiant before the systems evolves into a double WD system. In this article, we aim to study this particular evolutionary stage systematically and give the properties of violent WD mergers. By employing the Eggleton stellar evolution code, we followed a large number of binary calculations and obtained the regions in parameter space for producing violent mergers based on the WD + He subgiant channel. According to these simulations, we found that the primary WDs can increase their mass by ~0.10-0.45 Msun during the mass-accretion stage. We then conducted a series of binary population synthesis calculations and found that the Galactic SN Ia birthrate from this channel is about 0.01-0.4*10-3 yr-1. This suggests that the violent WD mergers from this channel may only contribute to ~0.3%-10% of all SNe Ia in our Galaxy. The delay times of violent WD mergers from this channel are >1.7 Gyr, contributing to the SNe Ia in old populations. We also found that the WD + He subgiant channel is the dominent way for producing violent WD mergers that may be able to eventually explode as SNe Ia.

description: We present broad-band, multi-epoch X-ray spectroscopy of the pulsating ultra-luminous X-ray source (ULX) in NGC 5907. Simultaneous XMM-Newton and NuSTAR data from 2014 are best described by a multi-color black-body model with a temperature gradient as a function of accretion disk radius significantly flatter than expected for a standard thin accretion disk (T(r) ~ r^{-p}, with p=0.608^{+0.014}_{-0.012}). Additionally, we detect a hard power-law tail at energies above 10 keV, which we interpret as being due to Comptonization. We compare this observation to archival XMM-Newton, Chandra, and NuSTAR data from 2003, 2012, and 2013, and investigate possible spectral changes as a function of phase over the 78d super-orbital period of this source. We find that observations taken around phases 0.3-0.4 show very similar temperature profiles, even though the observed flux varies significantly, while one observation taken around phase 0 has a significantly steeper profile. We discuss these findings in light of the recent discovery that the compact object is a neutron star and show that precession of the accretion disk or the neutron star can self-consistently explain most observed phenomena.

description: Ground-based interferometers are not perfectly all-sky instruments, and it is important to account for their behavior when considering the distribution of detected events. In particular, the LIGO detectors are most sensitive to sources above North America and the Indian Ocean and, as the Earth rotates, the sensitive regions are swept across the sky. However, because the detectors do not acquire data uniformly over time, there is a net bias on detectable sources' right ascensions. Both LIGO detectors preferentially collect data during their local night; it is more than twice as likely to be local midnight than noon when both detectors are operating. We discuss these selection effects and how they impact LIGO's observations and electromagnetic follow-up. Beyond galactic foregrounds associated with seasonal variations, we find that equatorial observatories can access over $80\%$ of the localization probability, while mid-latitudes will access closer to $70\%$. Facilities located near the two LIGO sites can observe sources closer to their zenith than their analogs in the South, but the average observation will still be no closer than $44^\circ$ from zenith. We also find that observatories in Africa or the South Atlantic will wait systematically longer before they can begin observing compared to the rest of the world, although there is a preference for longitudes near the LIGOs. These effects, along with knowledge of the LIGO antenna pattern, can inform electromagnetic follow-up activities and optimization, including the possibility of directing observations even before gravitational-wave events occur.

description: Very recently quasi two-dimensional (2D) systems made of attractive fermionic alkali-metal atoms with a widely tunable interaction due to Fano-Feshbach resonances have been realized. In this way it has been achieved the 2D crossover from the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer regime of weakly-interacting Cooper pairs to the Bose-Einstein condensate regime strongly bound dimers. These experiments pave the way to the investigation of 2D strongly-interacting attractive fermions during the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition from a low-temperature superfluid phase characterized by quasi-condensation to a high-temperature normal phase, where vortex proliferation driven by quantum and thermal fluctuations completely destroys superfluidity. In this paper we discuss our preliminar theoretical results on the behavior of the BKT critical temperature across the crossover. Our microscopic calculations are based on functional integration taking into account renormalized Gaussian fluctuations and the crucial 2D effect of vortex-antivortex unbinding.

description: In both research and industrial settings spin coating is extensively used to prepare highly uniform thin polymer films. However, under certain conditions, spin coating results in films with non-uniform surface morphologies. Although the spin coating process has been extensively studied, the origin of these morphologies is not fully understood and the formation of non-uniform spincast films remains a practical problem. Here we report on experiments demonstrating that the formation of surface instabilities during spin coating is dependent on temperature. Our results suggest that non-uniform spincast films form as a result of the Marangoni effect, which describes flow due to surface tension gradients. We find that both the wavelength and amplitude of the pattern increase with temperature. Finally, and most important from a practical viewpoint, the non-uniformities in the film thickness can be entirely avoided simply by lowering the spin coating temperature.

description: An aging population is bringing new challenges to the management of escape routes and facility design in many countries. This paper investigates pedestrian movement properties of crowd with different age compositions. Three pedestrian groups are considered: young student group, old people group and mixed group. It is found that traffic jams occur more frequently in mixed group due to the great differences of mobilities and self-adaptive abilities among pedestrians. The jams propagate backward with a velocity 0.4 m/s for global density around 1.75 m-1 and 0.3 m/s for higher than 2.3 m-1. The fundamental diagrams of the three groups are obviously different from each other and cannot be unified into one diagram by direct non-dimensionalization. Unlike previous studies, three linear regimes in mixed group but only two regimes in young student group are observed in the headway-velocity relation, which is also verified in the fundamental diagram. Different ages and mobilities of pedestrians in a crowd cause the heterogeneity of system and influence the properties of pedestrian dynamics significantly. It indicates that the density is not the only factor leading to jams in pedestrian traffic. The composition of crowd has to be considered in understanding pedestrian dynamics and facility design.

description: In this paper we address the problem of dark energy oscillations in the context of mimetic $F(R)$ gravity with potential. The issue of dark energy oscillations can be a problem in some models of ordinary $F(R)$ gravity and a remedy that can make the oscillations milder is to introduce additional modifications in the functional form of the $F(R)$ gravity. As we demonstrate the power-law modifications are not necessary in the mimetic $F(R)$ case, and by appropriately choosing the mimetic potential and the Lagrange multiplier, it is possible to make the oscillations almost to vanish at the end of the matter domination era and during the late-time acceleration era. We examine the behavior of the dark energy equation of state parameter and of the total effective equation of state parameter as functions of the redshift and we compare the resulting picture with the ordinary $F(R)$ gravity case. As we also show, the present day values of the dark energy equation of state parameter and of the total effective equation of state parameter are in better agreement with the observational data, in comparison to the ordinary $F(R)$ gravity case. Finally, we study the evolution of the growth factor as a function of the redshift for all the mimetic models we shall use.

description: Introduction : Les spondyloarthrites (SpA) revêtent des tableaux de moins en moins sévères dans les pays industrialisés. Au Maghreb, nous continuons à observer des formes évoluées chez des sujets jeunes. La survenue d’une coxite reste une préoccupation majeure dans le suivi de l’affection, de part le mauvais pronostic engendré. Objectifs : L’objectif de notre étude est de déterminer les caractéristiques cliniques et radiologiques des coxites d’une série de patients atteints de spondyloarthrite et d’identifier les facteurs pouvant être prédictifs de survenue.Une population sans coxite a été comparé à celle-ci. Patients et méthode : Étude observationnelle, prospective d’une série de SpA suivie en consultation de rhumatologie.Les patients répondaient tous aux critères ASAS. Les données cliniques, biologiques et radiologiques ont été recueillies. L’activité de SpA a été évaluée par le Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). L’évaluation du retentissement fonctionnel de la hanche a été faite par l’indice Fonctionnel de Lesquene. La corrélation a été évaluée par le test paramétrique de Pearson. Le seuil de significativité a été fixé pour une valeur de p<0,05. Résultats : Nous avons recruté 126 patients, dont 68.3% hommes(86) et 31.7% de femmes (40). Leur âge moyen était de (39.11 ans±12.08) années avec extrême d’âge entre 15 et 45 ans .La durée d’évolution de la maladie était en moyenne de (13.19ans±10).La SpA était dans 2/3 des cas (63.9%) avec une atteinte seulement axiale et une raideur rachidienne chez 98 patients (77.8%). L’activité de la maladie était modérée chez 72patients (57.1%) avec un BASDAI moyen de 5.7±1.8.Le syndrome inflammatoire a été noté chez 82 patient avec une vitesse de sedimentation moyenne à 50±33 mm/h et une CRP moyenne de 22.30±28 mg/l, le HLAB27 réalisé chez 50 patients avec un résultat positif dans 50% des cas. Sur les radiographies, la sacroiliite stade 3et4 retrouver chez 79,4%, a IRM chez 6,4%, enthésopathie dans 70,1%. La coxite a été notée dans plus de 1/3 des cas (34.9%), dont 29(33.7%) hommes et 15 femmes (37.5%). Elle était le plus souvent bilatérale (28 patients) avec un retentissement fonctionnelle (36.36%), un indice de lequesne moyen est de 16.Elle étaient érosive dans 26 cas (59%), angainante dans 16 cas (38%) et synostosante dans 2 cas (5%). Le remplacement prothétique est effectué chez 10 patients. Conclusion Dans notre étude La coxite est fréquente et précoce. Un lien significatif a été noté avec les formes à début juvénile, l’atteinte axiale et la durée d’évolution. Pas de lien significatif en fonction de l’atteinte Sacroiliaque, de l’atteinte articulaire, ou de la présence d’enthésopathies, l’activité de la maladie ou le syndrome inflammatoire.

description: In 1987, Dan Gordon defined an elliptic curve analogue to Carmichael numbers known as elliptic Carmichael numbers. In this paper, we prove that there are infinitely many elliptic Carmichael numbers. In doing so, we resolve in the affirmative the question of whether there exist infinitely square-free, composite integers $n$ such that for every prime $p$ that divides $n$, $p+1|n+1$.

description: We report on the charged particle identification (PID) systems for the upcoming Belle II experiment. The time of propagation counter in the central region and the proximity focusing ring imaging Cherenkov counters with aerogel radiator in the forward region will be used as the PID devices. They are expected to provide a kaon identification efficiency of more than 94% at a low pion misidentification probability of 4%. The motivation for the upgrade, method, and status of both systems are discussed.
