description: We analyze the near-infrared luminosity profiles and photometric parameters of the host galaxies of 3CR radio sources with z<0.3, to investigate their physical nature. Our sample includes 82 galaxies, of which 22 (27%) are FR Is and 60 (73%) are FR IIs. Using near-infrared data taken both with NICMOS onboard the Hubble Space Telescope and from the ground with the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo, we find that luminosity profiles are very well described by a single Sersic law in 52% of the cases and for the remaining objects (48%) it is necessary to include an exponential profile, which could indicate the presence of a disk. The average bulge to disk luminosity ratio for the galaxies is (b/d) ~ 1.1. The analysis of the photometric parameters of the sub samples indicates that FR Is and FR IIs show rather similar bulges in terms of effective surface magnitude, effective radius, and Sersic index. On the other hand, disks in FR Is and FR IIs hosts show, on average, different properties. Central surface magnitudes are dimmer and scale lengths are greater by a factor of 2 in FR Is when compared to FR IIs. We also estimate the black hole mass associated with each galaxy using two different methods that claim tight correlations between the black hole mass (M_BH) with the infrared bulge luminosity (L_bulge) and with the Sersic index (n). Our data indicate that masses obtained through these two methods show a high dispersion and M_BH obtained through L_bulge are systematically higher (by a factor of ~3) than those obtained using n. This result may reflect the fact that for our sample galaxies we do not find any correlation between L_bulge and n.

description: The recent phase of power sector reforms has focused on distribution reforms, under the APDRP, and Information Technology (IT) is seen as a savior for the power industry, whereby advanced technologies such as digital metering will bring in much greater efficiency, theft reduction, and collection. While somewhat true, it is important to recognize that not all IT based solutions are equal, and poor designs can hamper longterm benefits. We present some analysis and results looking at different technologies and systems in the Indian context. In particular, we highlight some non-IT issues relating to reforms and tariff design that impact on IT’s potential and pitfalls. A full “smart” system will offer long-term benefits beyond simply theft reduction, and should be the focus of planners, analysts, and industry.

description: Day-ahead load and wind power forecasts provide useful information for operational decision making, but they are imperfect and forecast errors must be offset with operational reserves and balancing of (real time) energy. Procurement of these reserves is of great operational and financial importance in integrating large-scale wind power. We present a probabilistic method to determine net load forecast uncertainty for day-ahead wind and load forecasts. Our analysis uses data from two different electric grids in the US with similar levels of installed wind capacity but with large differences in wind and load forecast accuracy, due to geographic characteristics. We demonstrate that the day-ahead capacity requirements can be computed based on forecasts of wind and load. For 95% day-ahead reliability, this required capacity ranges from 2100 to 5700 MW for ERCOT, and 1900 to 4500 MW for MISO (with 10 GW of installed wind capacity), depending on the wind and load forecast values. We also show that for each MW of additional wind power capacity for ERCOT, 0.16–0.30 MW of dispatchable capacity will be used to compensate for wind uncertainty based on day-ahead forecasts. For MISO (with its more accurate forecasts), the requirement is 0.07–0.13 MW of dispatchable capacity for each MW of additional wind capacity.

description: The definition and derivation of flavor neutrino states in the framework of standard Quantum Field Theory is reviewed, clarifying some subtle points. It is shown that a flavor neutrino state that describes a neutrino produced or detected in a charged-current weak interaction process depends on the process under consideration and is appropriate for the description of neutrino oscillations as well as for the calculation of neutrino production or detection rates. Hence, we have a consistent framework for the description of neutrino oscillations and interactions in neutrino oscillation experiments. The standard flavor neutrino states are obtained as approximations which describe neutrinos in experiments that are not sensitive to the dependence of neutrino interactions on the neutrino mass differences. It is also shown that the oscillation probability can be derived either through the usual light-ray time = distance approximation or through an average of the space-time dependent oscillation probability over the unobserved propagation time.

description: The attached letters date from 1938 and 1939. They are from my grandmother Martha Skogland Morgan to her mother Sanna Skogland in Haugesund. Martha moved from Haugesund to the UK as a remedial gymnast/physiotherapist in the 1930s to deal with an outbreak of polio. She married my grandfather Robert Morgan and had my mother Louise Margrethe in September 1938 living in SW London. She died in England around 1979.I can't read Martha's writing - I guess the contents are a mix of domestic and political in the run up to war. I can read Robert's comments when he writes to his mother-in-law - either when they were evacuated or she was too tired with the small baby Louise.Robert is a civilian lawyer at this point. It is interesting to see how even before he has been drafted, this gentle, educated man was already:• Critical of the Versailles Treaty
• Vocally committed against rising Fascism - He was "confident and satisfied that war is necessary" 3/10/39
• Optimistic "Im not overimpressed by the Nazis military might" despite the success of the German Blitzkrieg 3/10/39My grandfather served in the army, went up to Italy with the US Army as Artillery and later intelligence/interrogations. Although he survived the war it gave him PTSD and depression and he committed suicide in the early 70s.

description: We derive electronic tight-binding Hamiltonians for strained graphene, hexagonal boron nitride and transition metal dichalcogenides based on Wannier transformation of {\it ab initio} density functional theory calculations. Our microscopic models include strain effects to leading order that respect the hexagonal crystal symmetry and local crystal configuration, and are beyond the central force approximation which assumes only pair-wise distance dependence. Based on these models, we also derive and analyze the effective low-energy Hamiltonians. Our {\it ab initio} approaches complement the symmetry group representation construction for such effective low-energy Hamiltonians and provide the values of the coefficients for each symmetry-allowed term. These models are relevant for the design of electronic device applications, since they provide the framework for describing the coupling of electrons to other degrees of freedom including phonons, spin and the electromagnetic field. The models can also serve as the basis for exploring the physics of many-body systems of interesting quantum phases.

description: LOFAR detected toward 3C 196 linear polarization structures which were found subsequently to be closely correlated with cold filamentary HI structures. The derived direction-dependent HI power spectra revealed marked anisotropies for narrow ranges in velocity, sharing the orientation of the magnetic field as expected for magneto hydrodynamical turbulence. Using the Galactic portion of the Effelsberg-Bonn HI Survey we continue our study of such anisotropies in the HI distribution in direction of two WSRT fields, Horologium and Auriga; both are well known for their prominent radio-polarimetric depolarization canals. At 349 MHz the observed pattern in total intensity is insignificant but polarized intensity and polarization angle show prominent ubiquitous structures with so far unknown origin. Apodizing the HI survey data by applying a rotational symmetric 50 percent Tukey window, we derive average and position angle dependent power spectra. We fit power laws and characterize anisotropies in the power distribution. We use a Gaussian analysis to determine relative abundances for the cold and warm neutral medium. For the analyzed radio-polarimetric targets significant anisotropies are detected in the HI power spectra; their position angles are aligned to the prominent depolarization canals, initially detected by WSRT. HI anisotropies are associated with steep power spectra. Steep power spectra, associated with cold gas, are detected also in other fields. Radio-polarimetric depolarization canals are associated with filamentary HI structures that belong to the cold neutral medium (CNM). Anisotropies in the CNM are in this case linked to a steepening of the power-spectrum spectral index, indicating that phase transitions in a turbulent medium occur on all scales. Filamentary HI structures, driven by thermal instabilities, and radio-polarimetric filaments are associated with each other.

Biophysics and population size constrains speciation in an evolutionary model of developmental system drift.

description: Developmental system drift is a likely mechanism for the origin of hybrid incompatibilities between closely related species. We examine here the detailed mechanistic basis of hybrid incompatibilities between two allopatric lineages, for a genotype-phenotype map of developmental system drift under stabilising selection, where an organismal phenotype is conserved, but the underlying molecular phenotypes and genotype can drift. This leads to number of emergent phenomenon not obtainable by modelling genotype or phenotype alone. Our results show that: 1) speciation is more rapid at smaller population sizes with a characteristic, Orr-like, power law, but at large population sizes slow, characterised by a sub-diffusive growth law; 2) the molecular phenotypes under weakest selection contribute to the earliest incompatibilities; and 3) pair-wise incompatibilities dominate over higher order, contrary to previous predictions that the latter should dominate. The population size effect we find is consistent with previous results on allopatric divergence of transcription factor-DNA binding, where smaller populations have common ancestors with a larger drift load because genetic drift favours phenotypes which have a larger number of genotypes (higher sequence entropy) over more fit phenotypes which have far fewer genotypes; this means less substitutions are required in either lineage before incompatibilities arise. Overall, our results indicate that biophysics and population size provide a much stronger constraint to speciation than suggested by previous models, and point to a general mechanistic principle of how incompatibilities arise the under stabilising selection for an organismal phenotype.

description: It is impossible in these days of continuous and instant communication, to describe how desperate people were in the Second World War for news of missing servicemen.My brother, who was fourteen years older than me, had been repatriated from Germany due to grievous injuries sustained when he trod on a mine while on reconnaissance in Italy. He had been reported missing in action and we had been six months not knowing if he were alive or dead (and that's another story.) It was customary to send home people no longer combatant or likely to die. My brother was one of these fortunate/unfortunate prisoners. He weighed only five stones (31.75 kilos) having been fed only on thin potato soup and black bread which on analysis was found to contain sawdust. History has shown that the German people were starving as well. On this occasion my friend Shirley who lived next door had come to tea with me and she asked my brother if he had met her cousin in the POW camp as he was also a prisoner? He asked his name and she said "Keith Jones". "That's not an uncommon name," he replied. She said, "It's Keith Hamilton Jones and he's in the Guards." Shirley and I were told to go and play - we were only ten years old - and my father rang our next door neighbour Mr. Jones.* A short while later Mr Jones arrived with his brother (Keith's father) and my brother was able to tell them that he had been on the train with Keith en route for Germany. Keith had been shot in the backside and endured much teasing about having been running away. There was much rejoicing (our boy's alive) and carefully hoarded whisky brought out for the gentlemen (ladies drank gin then, usually with orange). It was an amazing coincidence that two soldiers who were from different regiments, the Guards (don't know which one) and the East Surreys, should have met on a train in such circumstances in Germany given the vast number of troops that were there at that time. His family were so happy to have had first-hand knowledge of their son.*People were much more formal in those days and despite years of shared danger my parents and their neighbours always addressed each other with their titles. The man who said "the past is a foreign country, they do things differently there" certainly knew what he was talking about.

description: In March 2006, the Hubble Heritage Team obtained a large four-filter (B, V, I, and H-alpha) six-point mosaic dataset of the prototypical starburst galaxy NGC 3034 (M82), with the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) onboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The resulting color composite Heritage image was released in April 2006, to celebrate Hubble's 16th anniversary. Cycle 15 HST proposers were encouraged to submit General Observer and Archival Research proposals to complement or analyze this unique dataset. Since our M82 mosaics represent a significant investment of expert processing beyond the standard archival products, we will also release our drizzle combined FITS data as a High Level Science Product via the Multimission Archive at STScI (MAST) on December 31, 2006. This paper documents the key aspects of the observing program and image processing: calibration, image registration and combination (drizzling), and the rejection of cosmic rays and detector artifacts. Our processed FITS mosaics and related information can be downloaded from http://archive.stsci.edu/prepds/m82/

description: We propose a quantum heat engine composed of two superconducting transmission line resonators interacting with each other via an optomechanical-like coupling. One resonator is periodically excited by a thermal pump. The incoherently driven resonator induces coherent oscillations in the other one due to the coupling. A limit cycle, indicating finite power output, emerges in the thermodynamical phase space. The system implements an all-electrical analog of a photonic piston. Instead of mechanical motion, the power output is obtained as a coherent electrical charging in our case. We explore the differences between the quantum and classical descriptions of our system by solving the quantum master equation and classical Langevin equations. Specifically, we calculate the mean number of excitations, second-order coherence, as well as the entropy, temperature, power and mean energy to reveal the signatures of quantum behavior in the statistical and thermodynamic properties of the system. We find evidence of a quantum enhancement in the power output of the engine at low temperatures.

description: Cost estimates for CO2 capture and storage (CCS) systems typically focus on details of the CO2 capture process and make simplistic assumptions about the cost per ton of CO2 for the transport and storage components of the system. These ad hoc assumptions ignore the large variability in the storage cost from site-to-site caused by variation in storage reservoir characteristics. Moreover, the typical costs of storage that are widely applied in CCS cost estimates do not fully consider the cost of site characterization and operational monitoring. To address this problem, we have recently developed an engineeringeconomic model for geological storage in deep saline formations. In this paper we briefly describe the newly-developed performance and cost models for CO2 storage in deep saline formations, and use these models to develop a range of cost for CO2 storage. The range of cost is explored using four cases, representing different types of potential storage reservoirs. Results from the four case studies show considerably different capital costs and, consequently, levelized costs of CO2 stored. In addition, the sensitivity of CO2 storage cost to variability and uncertainty in model input parameters for one of the case studies is examined. These results show clearly that the cost of CO2 storage in saline formations is most sensitive to factors affecting site characterization costs, which have been significantly underestimated in most past studies, and are highly dependent on future regulation of geological storage projects.

description: The fast repositioning system of the MAGIC Telescope has allowed during its first data cycle, between 2005 and the beginning of year 2006, observing nine different GRBs as possible sources of very high energy gammas. These observations were triggered by alerts from Swift, HETE-II, and Integral; they started as fast as possible after the alerts and lasted for several minutes, with an energy threshold varying between 80 and 200 GeV, depending upon the zenith angle of the burst. No evidence for gamma signals was found, and upper limits for the flux were derived for all events, using the standard analysis chain of MAGIC. For the bursts with measured redshift, the upper limits are compatible with a power law extrapolation, when the intrinsic fluxes are evaluated taking into account the attenuation due to the scattering in the Metagalactic Radiation Field (MRF).

It is shown that the actual experimental data for the differential cross sections of all principal hadron-hadron [nucleon-nucleon, antiproton-proton, mezon-nucleon] scatterings at all energies higher than 2 GeV, can be well systematized by PMD-SQS predictions.

description: The product of this work is a desktop computer model that allows different technology options to be evaluated systematically at the level of an individual plant or facility. The model takes into account not only avoided carbon emissions, but also the impacts on multi-pollutant emissions, plant-level resource requirements, costs (capital, operating, and maintenance), and net plant efficiency. In addition, uncertainties and technological risks also can be explicitly characterized. The modeling framework is designed to support a variety of technology assessment and strategic planning activities by DOE and other organizations. The model currently includes four types of fossil fuel power plants: a pulverized coal (PC) plant, a natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) plant, a coal-based integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) plant, and an oxyfuel combustion plant. Each plant can be modeled with or without CO2 capture and storage. The IECM-cs can thus be employed to quantify the costs and emission reduction benefits of CCS for a particular system or to identify the most cost-effective option for a given application. This model also can be used to quantify the benefits of technology R&D and to identify advanced technology options having the highest potential payoffs. A Graphical User Interface (GUI) facilitates the configuration of the technologies, entry of data, and retrieval of results.

description: I was evacuated from Hackney in the 1940s with a large group of children. We all had essential luggage (mall suitcase, no wheels) and of course our Gas Masks. We arrived in Blackpool and were taken to a Church Hall where a group of local residents were waiting. It was a bit like a cattle market. The local residents who had spare bedrooms were told THEY HAD TO TAKE EVACUEES. Some people only wanted boys, others only wanted girls. The residents could choose their favoured child. One lady looked at me and said, "no I don't want that girl, she has got Chinky eyes." After a time, there were only three girls left, me and two sisters (who wanted and in fact were told by their mother to stay together). Thinking back on the lady who was last, I'm sure she was hoping all the children would be accommodated and she wouldn't need to take an evacuee, but she had no choice, she had the room. There was the lady, her husband and daughter. I never felt welcome. We three girls ate our meals on our own and often we were hungry. My mother came to see me after one month knowing I wasn't happy. She said it was early days and to give it time to see if things improved. Unfortunately, they didn't improve so after six months my mum took me home. There was still lots of bombing in London and often we had to sleep in a community shelter as we lived in a block of flats. But I was much happier and I'm still here!

description: Space-Division Multiple Access (SDMA) utilizes linear precoding to separate users in the spatial domain and relies on fully treating any residual multi-user interference as noise. Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) uses linearly precoded superposition coding with successive interference cancellation (SIC) and relies on user grouping and ordering to enforce some users to fully decode and cancel interference created by other users. In this paper, we argue that to efficiently cope with the high throughput, heterogeneity of Quality-of-Service (QoS), and massive connectivity requirements of future multi-antenna wireless networks, multiple access design needs to depart from SDMA and NOMA. We develop a novel multiple access framework, called Rate-Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA). RSMA is a more general and powerful multiple access for downlink multi-antenna systems that contains SDMA and NOMA as special cases. RSMA relies on linearly precoded rate-splitting with SIC to decode part of the interference and treat the remaining part of the interference as noise. This capability of RSMA to partially decode interference and partially treat interference as noise enables to softly bridge the two extremes of fully decoding interference and treating interference as noise, and provide room for rate and QoS enhancements, and complexity reduction. The three multiple access schemes are compared and extensive numerical results show that RSMA provides a smooth transition between SDMA and NOMA and outperforms them both in a wide range of network loads (underloaded and overloaded regimes) and user deployments (with a diversity of channel directions, channel strengths and qualities of Channel State Information at the Transmitter). Moreover, RSMA provides rate and QoS enhancements over NOMA at a lower computational complexity for the transmit scheduler and the receivers (number of SIC layers).

description: During neurogenesis, progenitors switch from self-renewal to differentiation through the interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic cues, but how these are integrated remains poorly understood. Here, we combine whole-genome transcriptional and epigenetic analyses with in vivo functional studies to demonstrate that Bcl6, a transcriptional repressor previously reported to promote cortical neurogenesis, acts as a driver of the neurogenic transition through direct silencing of a selective repertoire of genes belonging to multiple extrinsic pathways promoting self-renewal, most strikingly the Wnt pathway. At the molecular level, Bcl6 represses its targets through Sirt1 recruitment followed by histone deacetylation. Our data identify a molecular logic by which a single cell-intrinsic factor represses multiple extrinsic pathways that favor self-renewal, thereby ensuring robustness of neuronal fate transition.
vbyCaHbeta CCD Photometry of Clusters. VIII. The Super-Metal Rich, Old Open Cluster NGC 6791

description: CCD photometry on the intermediate-band vbyCaHbeta system is presented for the metal-rich, old open cluster, NGC 6791. Preliminary analysis led to [Fe/H] above +0.4 with an anomalously high reddening and an age below 5 Gyr. A revised calibration between (b-y)_0 and [Fe/H] at a given temperature shows that the traditional color-metallicity relations underestimate the color of the turnoff stars at high metallicity. With the revised relation, the metallicity from hk and the reddening for NGC 6791 become [Fe/H] = +0.45 +/- 0.04 and E(b-y) = 0.113 +/- 0.012 or E(B-V) = 0.155 +/- 0.016. Using the same technique, reanalysis of the photometry for NGC 6253 produces [Fe/H] = +0.58 +/-0.04 and E(b-y) = 0.120 +/- 0.018 or E(B-V) = 0.160 +/- 0.025. The errors quoted include both the internal and external errors. For NGC 6791, the metallicity from m_1 is a factor of two below that from hk, a result that may be coupled to the consistently low metal abundance from DDO photometry of the cluster and the C-deficiency found from high dispersion spectroscopy. E(B-V) is the same value predicted from Galactic reddening maps. With E(B-V) = 0.15 and [Fe/H] = +0.45, the available isochrones predict an age of 7.0 +/- 1.0 Gyr and an apparent modulus of (m-M) = 13.60 +/- 0.15, with the dominant source of the uncertainty arising from inconsistencies among the isochrones. The reanalysis of NGC 6253 with the revised lower reddening confirms that on both the hk and m_1 metallicity scales, NGC 6253, while less than half the age of NGC 6791, remains at least as metal-rich as NGC 6791, if not richer.

description: We use three different techniques to identify hundreds of white dwarf (WD) candidates in the Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) based on photometry from the NGVS and GUViCS, and proper motions derived from the NGVS and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Photometric distances for these candidates are calculated using theoretical color-absolute magnitude relations while effective temperatures are measured by fitting their spectral energy distributions. Disk and halo WD candidates are separated using a tangential velocity cut of 200 km~s$^{-1}$ in a reduced proper motion diagram, which leads to a sample of six halo WD candidates. Cooling ages, calculated for an assumed WD mass of 0.6$M_{\odot}$, range between 60 Myr and 6 Gyr, although these estimates depend sensitively on the adopted mass. Luminosity functions for the disk and halo subsamples are constructed and compared to previous results from the SDSS and SuperCOSMOS survey. We compute a number density of (2.81 $\pm$ 0.52) $\times 10^{-3}$~pc$^{-3}$ for the disk WD population--- consistent with previous measurements. We find (7.85 $\pm$ 4.55) $\times 10^{-6}$~pc$^{-3}$ for the halo, or 0.3\% of the disk. Observed stellar counts are also compared to predictions made by the TRILEGAL and Besançon stellar population synthesis models. The comparison suggests that the TRILEGAL model overpredicts the total number of WDs. The WD counts predicted by the Besançon model agree with the observations, although a discrepancy arises when comparing the predicted and observed halo WD populations; the difference is likely due to the WD masses in the adopted model halo.

description: Methyl-5-uridine (m5U) is one the most abundant non-canonical bases present in cellular RNA, and in yeast is found at position U54 of tRNAs where modification is catalysed by the methyltransferase Trm2. Although the mammalian enzymes that catalyse m5U formation are yet to be identified via experimental evidence, based on sequence homology to Trm2, two candidates currently exist, TRMT2A and TRMT2B. Here we developed a genome-wide single-nucleotide resolution mapping method, Fluorouracil-Induced-Catalytic-Crosslinking-Sequencing (FICC-Seq), in order to identify the relevant enzymatic targets. We demonstrate that TRMT2A is responsible for the majority of m5U present in human RNA, and that it commonly targets U54 of cytosolic tRNAs. By comparison to current methods, we show that FICC-Seq is a particularly robust method for accurate and reliable detection of relevant enzymatic target sites. Our associated finding of extensive irreversible TRMT2A-tRNA crosslinking in vivo following 5-Fluorouracil exposure is also intriguing, as it suggests a tangible mechanism for a previously suspected RNA-dependent route of Fluorouracil-mediated cytotoxicity.
