description: We present an in-depth study of surface brightness fluctuations (SBFs) in low-luminosity stellar systems. Using the MIST models, we compute theoretical predictions for absolute SBF magnitudes in the LSST, HST ACS/WFC, and proposed Roman Space Telescope filter systems. We compare our calculations to observed SBF-color relations of systems that span a wide range of age and metallicity. Consistent with previous studies, we find that single-age population models show excellent agreement with observations of low-mass galaxies with $0.5 \lesssim g - i \lesssim 0.9$. For bluer galaxies, the observed relation is better fit by models with composite stellar populations. To study SBF recovery from low-luminosity systems, we perform detailed image simulations in which we inject fully populated model galaxies into deep ground-based images from real observations. Our simulations show that LSST will provide data of sufficient quality and depth to measure SBF magnitudes with precisions of ${\sim}0.2$-0.5 mag in ultra-faint $\left(\mathrm{10^4 \leq M_\star/M_\odot \leq 10^5}\right)$ and low-mass classical (M$_\star\leq10^7$ M$_\odot$) dwarf galaxies out to ${\sim}4$ Mpc and ${\sim}25$ Mpc, respectively, within the first few years of its deep-wide-fast survey. Many significant practical challenges and systematic uncertainties remain, including an irreducible "sampling scatter" in the SBFs of ultra-faint dwarfs due to their undersampled stellar mass functions. We nonetheless conclude that SBFs in the new generation of wide-field imaging surveys have the potential to play a critical role in the efficient confirmation and characterization of dwarf galaxies in the nearby universe.

description: We explore manifestations of electron-phonon coupling on the electron spectral function for two phonon modes in the cuprates exhibiting strong renormalizations with temperature and doping. Applying simple symmetry considerations and kinematic constraints, we find that the out-of-plane, out-of-phase O buckling mode (B_1g) involves small momentum transfers and couples strongly to electronic states near the anti-node while the in-plane Cu-O breathing modes involve large momentum transfers and couples strongly to nodal electronic states. Band renormalization effects are found to be strongest in the superconducting state near the anti-node, in full agreement with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data.

A physiological correlate of psychophysical gap detection

description: The present study attempted to find a physiological correlate for gap-detection, a popular psychophysical paradigm for investigating auditory temporal acuity. Previous studies have found relationships between characteristics of Auditory Evoked Potentials (AEPs), specifically the Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR), and psychophysical measures. The literature has also revealed the recurring finding that gap-detection threshold (GDT) has the tendency to increase as the stimulus decreases in frequency. Two experiments were conducted, one using a psychophysical technique and the other using a physiological technique. The same nine subjects were tested in both experiments. Three conditions of filtered noise: low-pass (0-1kHz), high-pass (1-6 kHz) and wideband (0-6 kHz) were used in both experiments. The psychophysical experiment used a two-interval forced-choice (2IFC) procedure to estimate gap threshold. The physiological experiment relied on the ASSR to provide an estimate of gap threshold. The results for the psychophysical method were consistent with previous findings in the literature. Although the wideband noise condition visually appeared larger for the physiological method, when psychophysical and physiological gap thresholds were compared, the mean thresholds across noise stimuli were not significantly different. Further investigation with a larger sample size, and possibly different procedural techniques, may suggest the efficacy of using a physiological clinical technique to assess auditory temporal acuity in difficult-to-test patients.
Bouncing universes and their perturbations : a simple model revisited

description: We reconsider the toy model studied in [1] of a spatially closed Friedmann-Lemaitre universe, driven by a massive scalar field, which deflates quasi-exponentially, bounces and then enters a period of standard inflation. We find that the equations for the matter density perturbations can be solved analytically, at least at lowest order in some "slow-roll" parameter. We can therefore give, in that limit, the explicit spectrum of the post-bounce perturbations in terms of their pre-bounce initial spectrum. Our result is twofold. If the pre-bounce growing and decaying modes are of the same order of magnitude at the bounce, then the spectrum of the pre-bounce growing modes is carried over to the post-bounce decaying modes ("mode inversion"). On the other hand, if, more likely, the pre-bounce growing modes dominate, then resolution at next order indicates that their spectrum is nicely carried over, with reduced amplitude, to the post-bounce growing modes.

description: A natural method to evaluate the effectiveness of a testing technique is to measure the defect detection rate when applying the created test cases. Here, real or artificial software defects can be injected into the source code of software. For a more extensive evaluation, the injection of artificial defects is usually needed and can be performed via mutation testing using code mutation operators. However, to simulate complex defects arising from a misunderstanding of design specifications, mutation testing might reach its limit in some cases. In this paper, we present an open-source benchmark testbed application that employs a complement method of artificial defect injection. The application is compiled after artificial defects are injected into its source code from predefined building blocks. The majority of the functions and user interface elements are covered by creating front-end-based automated test cases that can be used in experiments.

description: We present measurements of the near-infrared Calcium II triplet (CaT, CaT*), Paschen (PaT) and Magnesium (MgI) indices for a well-studied sample of 19 bulges of early to intermediate spiral galaxies. We find that both the CaT* and CaT indices decrease with central velocity dispersion (sigma) with small scatter. This dependence is similar to that recently found by Cenarro (2002) for elliptical galaxies, implying an uniform CaT* -- sigma relation that applies to galaxies from ellipticals to intermediate-type spirals. The decrease of CaT and CaT* with sigma contrasts with the well-known increase of another alpha-element index, Mg_2, with sigma. We discuss the role of Ca underabundance ([Ca/Fe]<0) and IMF variations in the onset of the observed relations.

description: Numerous malignancies, including breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, and chronic myeloid leukemia, are brought on by aberrant tyrosine kinase signaling. Since the current chemotherapeutic medicines are toxic, there is a great need and demand from cancer patients to find novel chemicals that are toxic-free or have low toxicity and that can kill tumor cells and stop their growth. This work describes the in-silico examination of substances from the drug bank as EGFR inhibitors. Firstly, drug-bank was screened using the pharmacophore technique to select the ligands and Erlotinib (DB00530) was used as matrix compound. The selected ligands were screened using ADMET and the hit compounds were subjected to docking. The lead compound from the docking was subjected to DFT and MD simulation study. Using the pharmacophore technique, 23 compounds were found through virtual drug bank screening. One hit molecule from the ADMET prediction was the subject of docking study. According to the findings, DB03365 molecule fits to the EGFR active site by several hydrogen bonding interactions with amino acids. Furthermore, DFT analysis revealed high reactivity for DB03365 compound in the binding pocket of the target protein, based on ELUMO, EHOMO and band energy gap. Furthermore, MD simulations for 100 ns revealed that the ligand interactions with the residues of EGFR protein were part of the essential residues for structural stability and functionality. However, DB03365 was a promising lead molecule that outperformed the reference compound in terms of performance and in-vitro and in-vivo experiments needs to validate the study.

description: The dipole-dipole interaction influences nanoscopic matter by fixing the patterns of permanent, displacive, and induced dipole moments, subject to constraints of molecular size and other short range interactions. Prediction of these arrangements is a challenging problem. The eigenvector of maximum eigenvalue of the dipole-dipole interaction matrix can provide insights and sometimes a complete solution. As an example, the octahedral tilt instabilities of perovskite-type crystals is shown to optimize dipolar interactions. Therefore this instability can be designated as antiferroelectric, because dipole-dipole interactions are a dominant driving force.

description: Interstellar Objects (ISO) passing through our Solar System offer a rare opportunity to probe the physical and chemical processes involved in solid body and planet formation in extrasolar systems. The main objective of our study is to search for diagnostic absorption features of water ice in the near infrared (NIR) spectrum of the second interstellar object 2I/2019 Q4 (Borisov) and compare its ice features to those of the Solar system icy objects. We observed 2I in the NIR on three separate occasions. The first observation was made on 2019 September 19 UT using the SpeX spectrograph at the 3-m IRTF and again on September 24 UT with the GNIRS spectrograph at the 8-m GEMINI telescope and the last observation was made on October 09 UT with IRTF. The spectra obtained from all three nights appear featureless. No absorption features associated with water ice are detected. Spectral modeling suggests that water grains, if present, comprise no more than 10% of the coma cross-section. The comet consistently exhibits a red D-type like spectrum with a spectral slope of about 6% per 100nm, which is similar to that of 1I/'Oumuamua and is comparable to Solar system comets.

description: In this paper we construct the Seiberg-Witten maps for superfields on the theta-theta deformed superspaces with N=(1/2,0) and N=(1/2,1/2) supersymmety. We show that on the N=(1/2,0) deformed superspace there is no Seiberg-Witten map for antichiral superfields which is at the same time antichiral, local and which preserves the N=(1/2,0) supersymmetry. Solutions which break these requirements are presented. On the N=(1/2,1/2) deformed superspace we show that for the chiral gauge parameter, and therefore also for the chiral matter field, there is no chiral Seiberg-Witten map. Some other possible Seiberg-Witten maps for the superfields are presented.

description: We report our theoretical and experimental investigations into errors in quantum state estimation, putting a special emphasis on their asymptotic behavior. Tomographic measurements and maximum likelihood estimation are used for estimating several kinds of identically prepared quantum states (bi-photon polarization states) produced via spontaneous parametric down-conversion. Excess errors in the estimation procedures are eliminated by introducing a new estimation strategy utilizing Akaike's information criterion. We make a quantitative comparision between the errors of the experimentally estimated states and their asymptotic lower bounds, which are derived from the Cramér-Rao inequality. Our results reveal influence of entanglement on the errors in the estimation. An alternative measurement strategy employing inseparable measurements is also discussed, and its performance is numerically explored.

description: Scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements were made on surfaces of two different kinds of graphite samples, Kish graphite and highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), at very low temperatures and in high magnetic fields. We observed a series of peaks in the tunnel spectra, which grow with increasing field, both at positive and negative bias voltages. These are associated with Landau quantization of the quasi two-dimensional electrons and holes in graphite in magnetic fields perpendicular to the basal plane. Almost field independent Landau levels fixed near the Fermi energy, which are characteristic of the graphite crystalline structure, were directly observed for the first time. Calculations of the local density of states at the graphite surfaces allow us to identify Kish graphite as bulk graphite and HOPG as graphite with finite thickness effectively.

description: Microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) through urease enzyme has attained a lot of recognition in various fields of civil engineering and geotechnology for stabilizing the strength of soil and various concrete materials. The activity of urease has been found to be affected by various factors like temperature, substrate concentrations, pH of the medium, presence of inhibitors, etc. Through this study, the outcome of the interaction of pesticides (commonly found in Indian coastal regions) on Bacillus pasteurii urease, a major organism reported for MICP studies has been investigated in silico. The results from the study revealed that the enzyme has higher interactions of −4.1, −3.2, and −3.4 kJ/mol with common pesticides like dichloro diphenyl dichloro ethane(DDD), dichloro diphenyl trichloroe thane (DDT), and methyl parathion of organochlorides and organophosphates class. From the molecular dynamics simulation analysis, complex 1 (DDD -receptor) has been found to have the highest and more compact structure followed by methyl parathion -receptor. Prime MM-GBSA analysis also revealed the highest binding energy of −27.8 kcal/mol with the protein and DDD. Thus, it can be inferred from the current study that pesticides, particularly, DDD, DDT, and methyl parathion present in the coastal areas may have an impact on urease. This interaction can result in the inhibition of the urease activity of B. pasteurii, thus preventing the biomineralization process. This study would be the first report on the computational approach to understanding the interaction of prominent pesticides on the coastal region and B. pasteurii urease. Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

description: We show that long-period dwarf novae offer a promising route for making Type Ia supernovae. For typical dwarf nova duty cycles d ~ 0.1 - 0.01, mass is accreted by the white dwarf mainly during dwarf nova outbursts at rates allowing steady nuclear burning of most of the accreted matter. Mass gains up to ~ 0.4 Msun are possible in this way. Although these are too small to allow a 0.7 Msun WD to reach the Chandrasekhar mass, they are sufficient if the WD grew to ~ 1 Msun in a previous episode of thermal-timescale mass transfer, i.e. for those long-period dwarf novae which descend from supersoft binaries. A further advantage of this picture is that the supernova always occurs in a binary of small secondary/primary mass ratio, with the secondary having very little remaining hydrogen. Both features greatly reduce the possibility of hydrogen contamination of the supernova ejecta.

 Dasymutilla stevensii Mickel, 1928. U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 143:99. Holotype female, Medora, North Dakota, August 3, 1923 (O. A. Stevens) [UMSP] (examined).
 Dasymutilla medora Mickel, 1928. U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 143:101. Holotype male, Medora North Dakota, August 3, 1923 (O. A. Stevens) [UMSP] (examined). Synonymy: Mickel (1936a:44).
 Diagnosis of Female (Plate C8L). This species can be recognized by its coloration and several structural characteristics. The antennal scrobe of this female appears to be very weakly carinate. A genal carina is absent. The mesosoma is longer than broad, and lacks a scutellar scale. The dorsum is concolorous and clothed with dense orange setae.
 Diagnosis of Male (Plate C8M). A key character of the male is that the tegula is finely, setigerously punctate throughout. Also, the male lacks a pit on sternum II, while the pygidium possesses an apical fringe of setae. The integument is entirely black. The dorsum of the head, mesosoma, and metasomal segments III through VI are clothed with concolorous, orange setae.
 Host Identity. Diadasia australis (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Apidae) (Tepedino and Pitts 2003).
 Distribution. USA (Iowa, North Dakota, south to Texas, west to Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah); Mexico (Chihuahua, Guanajuato, Sinaloa); a single specimen bears a collection label of California.
 Remarks. This species is known from both sexes. The female keys easily, except that the antennal scrobes are weakly carinate. If one were to err at couplet #77 and determine the antennal scrobes to be ecarinate, they would proceed to couplet #79 (D. lachesis and D. nigripes). The concolorous dense, orange setae easily distinguish it from the other two species. The male keys easily due to the setigerously punctate tegula. The female is relatively common in collections, and several hundred specimens have been examined. The male is less commonly collected, and only several dozen specimens have been examined.

description: This thesis develops structural integrations of building components and solar cells for load-bearing scenarios. Mechanical responses of such integrations and electrical responses of the integrated PV cells to mechanical loading are evaluated. Approaches to mitigate the negative effects of mechanical loads on the solar cells are proposed and investigated. Thermal responses of the integrations to light irradiations in laboratorial and outdoor conditions are also investigated. The innovative integrations provide a clean, renewable and practical solution for energy acquisition in buildings.

description: A viscoelastic model is established to reveal the relation between alpha-beta relaxation of glass and the double-peak phenomenon in the experiments of impulse excited vibration. In the modelling, the normal mode analysis (NMA) of potential energy landscape (PEL) picture is employed to describe mechanical alpha and beta relaxations in a glassy material. The model indicates that a small beta relaxation can lead to an apparent double-peak phenomenon resulted from the free vibration of a glass beam when the frequency of beta relaxation peak is close to the natural frequency of specimen. The theoretical prediction is validated by the acoustic spectrum of a fluorosilicate glass beam excited by a mid-span impulse. Furthermore, the experimental results indicate a negative temperature-dependence of the frequency of beta relaxation in the fluorosilicate glass S-FSL5 which can be explained based on the physical picture of fragmented oxide-network patches in liquid-like regions.

description: Numerical simulations of a Milky Way-size galaxy demonstrate that globular clusters with the properties similar to observed can form naturally at z > 3 in the concordance Lambda-CDM cosmology. The clusters in our model form in the strongly baryon-dominated cores of supergiant molecular clouds. The first clusters form at z = 12, while the peak formation appears to be at z = 3-5. The zero-age mass function of globular clusters can be approximated by a power-law dN/dM ~ M^-2, in agreement with observations of young massive star clusters.

description: State representations summarize our knowledge about a system. When unobservable quantities are introduced the state representation is typically no longer unique. However, this non-uniqueness does not affect subsequent inferences based on any observable data. We demonstrate that the inference-free subspace may be extracted whenever the quantity's unobservability is guaranteed by a global conservation law. This result can generalize even without such a guarantee. In particular, we examine the coherent-state representation of a laser where the absolute phase of the electromagnetic field is believed to be unobservable. We show that experimental coherent states may be separated from the inference-free subspaces induced by this unobservable phase. These physical states may then be approximated by coherent states in a relative-phase Hilbert space.

description: Human adenovirus (HADV) infection can pose a serious threat to children, leading to a variety of respiratory illnesses and other complications. Particularly, children with weak immune systems are vulnerable to severe adenovirus infections with high mortality. The main focus of this study is to propose new antiviral agents as lead HADV inhibitors for children. So, several antiviral agents used in children were subjected to finding new HADV inhibitors using important computational methods of molecular docking, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, Molecular Mechanics Poisson-Boltzmann Surface Area (MM-PBSA) binding free energy calculations, density functional theory (DFT), and pharmacokinetic analysis. Molecular docking of standard cidofovir along with other ligands, suggested that sofosbuvir has the highest binding energy (−10.8 kcal/mol), followed by baloxavir marboxil (−10.36 kcal/mol). Further, the analysis of molecular interactions using MD simulation (100 ns) and MM-PBSA indicated that baloxavir marboxil has formed the most stable protein–ligand complex with HADV, followed by sofosbuvir. The binding free energies of baloxavir marboxil and sofosbuvir were found to be −61.724 kJ/mol and −48.123 kJ/mol, respectively. The DFT and drug-likeness properties of these compounds were also investigated. Overall, two antiviral agents, such as baloxavir marboxil, and sofosbuvir are suggested as lead repurposed candidates against HADV. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma

description: The transverse magnetoresistance of a nodal line Dirac semi-metal InBi has been studied. It is found that the magnetoresistance is not quadratic. In the region of small magnetic fields $ B\lesssim 0.1$~T, it is characterized by high curvature, in the region of medium magnetic fields it is described by the sum of linear and quadratic contributions, and in the region of large magnetic fields $ B\gtrsim 1$~T, it approaches a quadratic law with a curvature several times smaller its zero field value. A phenomenological equation is proposed that allows to describe the entire dependence of the resistance on the magnetic field with an error not exceeding the measurement error of several percent.

description: Tracking the star formation rate to high redshifts requires knowledge of the contribution from both optically visible and obscured sources. The dusty, optically-obscured galaxies can be located by X-ray and infrared surveys. To establish criteria for selecting such sources based only on X-ray and infrared surveys, we determine the ratio of infrared to X-ray brightness that would be observed by SIRTF and Chandra for objects with the same spectral shapes as nearby starbursts if seen at high redshift. The parameter IR/X is defined as IR/X = (flux density observed in SIRTF MIPS 24 $μ$m filter in mJy)/(total flux observed within 0.5-2.0 keV in units of 10^-16 ergs\s\cm^2). Based on observations of NGC 4038/39 (``The Antennae''), NGC 3690+IC 694 (Arp 299 or Mkn 171), M 82, and Arp 220, nine starburst regions are compared using mid-infrared spectra taken by the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) and X-ray spectra obtained with Chandra . The IR/X are determined as they would appear for 14 would not match any of the objects considered.

description: Dasymutilla sulcatulla Mickel
 Dasymutilla sulcatulla Mickel, 1928, U. S. Nat. Mus. Bull. 143:155. Holotype female, Brewster County, Texas, Rio Grande, June 13-17, 1908 (Mitchell and Cushman) (No. 40730) [USNM] (examined). Male description: Manley (1996:116).
 Diagnosis of Female (Plate C8N). The distinguishing character of this species is that flagellomeres III to X may be longitudinally sulcate. However, this character is not always present. Otherwise, this species can be recognized by its coloration and several structural characteristics. The female has the antennal scrobe weakly carinate, and a genal carina is absent. The posterolateral angle of the head is not tuberculate. The mesosoma is longer than broad, and possesses a scutellar scale. The dorsum of the head, mesosoma, and metasoma is predominantly concolorous, orange. The integument of tergum II is yellow/orange, like the setae. The remainder of the integument is black.
 Diagnosis of Male (Plate C8O). The male of this species can be recognized by its coloration and several structural characteristics. The integument is entirely black, except for two orange maculae on tergum II. The setae of the head, mesosoma, and terga III to VI are orange. Setae of sterna II to IV are pale orange. This male lacks a pit on sternum II, while having an apical fringe of setae on the pygidium.
 Distribution. USA (Texas); Mexico (Durango).
 Remarks. This species is known from both sexes, but is very restricted in its distribution. Most specimens have been collected in Brewster County, Texas, along the Rio Grande River, either in or very near Big Bend National Park. It is known from only about a dozen females, and about a half dozen males, all of which have been examined.
 The male of this species is very similar to D. chiron ursula, but may be distinguished by the pale sternal setae. If the apical fringe of setae on the pygidium were missing, this species would key to couplet #38. However, it is very different from either of those species.
