description: We present new deep photometry of the globular cluster system (GCS) around NGC 6166, the central supergiant galaxy in Abell 2199. HST data from the ACS and WFC3 cameras in F475W, F814W are used to determine the spatial distribution of the GCS, its metallicity distribution function (MDF), and the dependence of the MDF on galactocentric radius and on GC luminosity. The MDF is extremely broad, with the classic red and blue subpopulations heavily overlapped, but a double-Gaussian model can still formally match the MDF closely. The spatial distribution follows a Sersic-like profile detectably to a projected radius of at least $R_{gc} = 250$ kpc. To that radius, the total number of clusters in the system is N_{GC} = 39000 +- 2000, the global specific frequency is S_N = 11.2 +- 0.6, and 57\% of the total are blue, metal-poor clusters. The GCS may fade smoothly into the Intra-Cluster Medium of A2199; we see no clear transition from the core of the galaxy to the cD halo or the ICM. The radial distribution, projected ellipticity, and mean metallicity of the red (metal-richer) clusters match the halo light extremely well for R > 15 kpc, both of them varying as σ_{MRGC} ~ σ_{light} ~ R^-1.8. By comparison, the blue (metal-poor) GC component has a much shallower falloff σ_{MPGC} ~ R^-1.0 and a more nearly spherical distribution. This strong difference in their density distributions produces a net metallicity gradient in the GCS as a whole that is primarily generated by the population gradient. With NGC 6166 we appear to be penetrating into a regime of high enough galaxy mass and rich enough environment that the bimodal two-phase description of GC formation is no longer as clear or effective as it has been in smaller galaxies.

Origin of the giant linear magnetoelectric effect in perovskite-like multiferroic BiFeO$_3$

description: In this article the mechanism of the linear magnetoelectric (ME) effect in the rhombohedral multiferroic BiFeO$_3$ is considered. The study is based on the symmetry approach of the GinzburgLandau type, in which polarization, antiferrodistortion, and antiferromagnetic momentum vectors are viewed as ordering parameters. We demonstrate that the linear ME effect in BFO is caused by reorientation of the antiferrodistortion vector in either electric or magnetic field. The numerical estimations, which show quantitative agreement with the results of the recent measurements in film samples, have been performed. A possibility of significant enhancement of the magnetoelectric effect by applying an external static electric field has been investigated. The considered approach is promising for explaining the high values of the ME effect in composite films and heterostructures with BFO.

description: Processing and distributing quantum information using photons through fibre-optic or free-space links is essential for building future quantum networks. The scalability needed for such networks can be achieved by employing photonic quantum states that are multiplexed into time and/or frequency, and light-matter interfaces that are able to store and process such states with large time-bandwidth product and multimode capacities. Despite important progress in developing such devices, the demonstration of these capabilities using non-classical light remains challenging. Employing the atomic frequency comb quantum memory protocol in a cryogenically cooled erbium-doped optical fibre, we report the quantum storage of heralded single photons at a telecom-wavelength (1.53 μm) with a time-bandwidth product approaching 800. Furthermore we demonstrate frequency-multimode storage as well as memory-based spectral-temporal photon manipulation. Notably, our demonstrations rely on fully integrated quantum technologies operating at telecommunication wavelengths, i.e. a fibre-pigtailed nonlinear waveguide for the generation of heralded single photons, an erbium-doped fibre for photon storage and manipulation, and fibre interfaced superconducting nanowire devices for efficient single photon detection. With improved storage efficiency, our light-matter interface may become a useful tool in future quantum networks.

description: Chinese character recognition is based on a limited set of recurrent stroke patterns (Chen et al., 1996). Most Chinese characters are a combination of two or more of these components. To test whether readers are sensitive to combinations of components (or multi-component units) within a character, we conducted two probe detection tasks where participants had to detect the presence of a component in a target character. Critically, some targets contained a multi-component unit (MCU) that can stand as a character on its own, with its own meaning and sound, while other targets contained an MCU that only exists embedded within other characters (no associated meaning and sound). Participants had more difficulty detecting component probes that were a part of an existing MCU, compared to component probes that belonged to a non-existing MCU. These findings suggest that existing MCUs are a perceptual unit in Chinese character recognition.

description: We consider a countably generated and uniformly closed algebra of bounded functions. We assume that there is a lower semicontinuous, with respect to the supremum norm, quadratic form and that normal contractions operate in a certain sense. Then we prove that a subspace of the effective domain of the quadratic form is naturally isomorphic to a core of a regular Dirichlet form on a locally compact separable metric space. We also show that any Dirichlet form on a countably generated measure space can be approximated by essentially discrete Dirichlet forms, i.e. energy forms on finite weighted graphs, in the sense of Mosco convergence, i.e. strong resolvent convergence.

description: Objective: To (1) examine the effectiveness of a home-care protocol (CariFree®, Oral Biotech, Albany, OR) in reducing caries risk in high-risk adults compared to conventional oral hygiene measures and (2) determine the agreement between a chairside ATP bioluminescence test (CariScreen) and laboratory Mutans Streptococci (MS) counts (CFU/mL of saliva). Methods: 24 high caries risk subjects were randomly assigned to intervention (CariFree treatment protocol) or control (brush twice and floss once daily) groups. Plaque and stimulated saliva samples were evaluated at baseline, 1 and 3 months for ATP bioluminescence, buffering capacity, Lactobacillus and MS counts. Results: At all evaluation times, no statistically significant difference was observed within groups or between the intervention and control group. The CariScreen scores showed poor correlation with MS counts. Conclusions: The CariFree protocol did not reduce caries risk of high-risk adults compared to traditional home-care. There was poor correlation between the CariScreen test and MS counts.

description: We present optical depth and temperature maps of the Perseus molecular cloud, obtained combining dust emission data from the Herschel and Planck satellites and 2MASS/NIR dust extinction maps. The maps have a resolution of 36 arcsec in the Herschel regions, and of 5 arcmin elsewhere. The dynamic range of the optical depth map ranges from $1\times10^{-2}\, \mathrm{mag}$ up to $20 \,\mathrm{mag}$ in the equivalent K band extinction. We also evaluate the ratio between the $2.2 \,\mathrm{μm}$ extinction coefficient and the $850 \,\mathrm{μm}$ opacity. The value we obtain is close to the one found in the Orion B molecular cloud. We show that the cumulative and the differential area function of the data (which is proportional to the probability distribution function of the cloud column density) follow power laws with index respectively $\simeq -2$, and $\simeq -3$. We use WISE data to improve current YSO catalogues based mostly on \emph{Spitzer} data and we build an up-to-date selection of Class~I/0 objects. Using this selection, we evaluate the local Schmidt law, $Σ_{\mathrm{YSO}} \propto Σ_{\mathrm{gas}}^β$, showing that $β=2.4 \pm 0.6$. Finally, we show that the area-extinction relation is important for determining the star formation rate in the cloud, which is in agreement with other recent works.

description: We consider solutions in Einstein-Maxwell theory with a negative cosmological constant that asymptote to global $AdS_{4}$ with conformal boundary $S^{2}\times\mathbb{R}_{t}$. At the sphere at infinity we turn on a space-dependent electrostatic potential, which does not destroy the asymptotic $AdS$ behaviour. For simplicity we focus on the case of a dipolar electrostatic potential. We find two new geometries: (i) an $AdS$ soliton that includes the full backreaction of the electric field on the $AdS$ geometry; (ii) a polarised neutral black hole that is deformed by the electric field, accumulating opposite charges in each hemisphere. For both geometries we study boundary data such as the charge density and the stress tensor. For the black hole we also study the horizon charge density and area, and further verify a Smarr formula. Then we consider this system at finite temperature and compute the Gibbs free energy for both $AdS$ soliton and black hole phases. The corresponding phase diagram generalizes the Hawking-Page phase transition. The $AdS$ soliton dominates the low temperature phase and the black hole the high temperature phase, with a critical temperature that decreases as the external electric field increases. Finally, we consider the simple case of a free charged scalar field on $S^{2}\times\mathbb{R}_{t}$ with conformal coupling. For a field in the $SU(N)$ adjoint representation we compare the phase diagram with the above gravitational system.

description: The covid-19 pandemic has widened political and social divides in the US – a trend most notable by the emergence of anti-science and ideological movements bent on hindering governments’ actions by disseminating disinformation. Thus, certain views, often found at the fringe of the marketplace of ideas, have pervaded into mainstream media to the point of influencing the 2020 presidential elections, for example. Overall, the spread of conspiracy theories has led to increased distrust in institutions, reduced social engagement and greater hesitancy towards evidence-based health practices towards Covid-19. As a prominent example, while evidence indicates that vaccination is currently the most reliable strategy for protecting vulnerable populations and preventing overwhelming hospitalizations, disinformation has increased overall hesitancy in the general population. Previous work indicates that motivations to support conspiratorial thinking is heterogenous—while some individuals may be prone to support such views for epistemic reasons (e.g., wanting to better understand), others may do so due to existential (e.g., wanting to be safe) or social (e.g., wanting to protect or belong to one’s group) motives. Our research aims to explore heterogeneity in conspiracy theory related to Covid-19. As part of this effort, we collected longitudinal data from a large sample size (N>600) of US residents across multiple waves of the same participants during the pandemic, starting April 2020. Participants completed a series of self-reported questionnaire and experimental tasks, while we also recorded demographics information. Our measures included various psychological assessments, race attitudes, and covid-related questions. Participants also completed a questionnaire concerning their views on various aspects pertaining to Covid-19 vaccination, news media, and government to examine whether they support conspiracy theories. Moreover, they performed a target discrimination task, in which they were asked to indicate whether a visual stimulus, embedded within noise, was a face or a house. Critically, the task involved a detection component where the target stimulus was absent for 30% of trials. In this way, we estimated participants’ tendency to detect patterns when none were present, based on a signal-detection theoretic framework. To explore heterogeneity for conspiracy theory of Covid-19, our analyses will comprise structural equation modelling and latent profile analysis based on personality traits, psychological wellbeing, and socio-political views. With this approach, we aim to understand the extent to which these factors promote conspiracy theories of Covid-19 in different ways. Last, we will investigate how this effects vaccine hesitancy.

description: The research discipline of network steganography deals with the hiding of information within network transmissions, e.g. to transfer illicit information in networks with Internet censorship. The last decades of research on network steganography led to more than hundred techniques for hiding data in network transmissions. However, previous research has shown that most of these hiding techniques are either based on the same idea or introduce limited novelty, enabling the application of existing countermeasures. In this paper, we provide a link between the field of creativity and network steganographic research. We propose a framework and a metric to help evaluating the creativity bound to a given hiding technique. This way, we support two sides of the scientific peer review process as both authors and reviewers can use our framework to analyze the novelty and applicability of hiding techniques. At the same time, we contribute to a uniform terminology in network steganography.

Formation of K-feldspar megacrysts in granodioritic plutons by thermal cycling and late-stage textrual coarsening
Creators: name: Johnson, Breck Robert
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: K-feldspar megacrysts are common in many granite and granodiorite plutons. They are generally inferred to be early crystallizing phases owing to their large size and euhedral form and to features that suggest deposition by magmatic sedimentation. However, all phase equilibrium experiments and natural examples of crystallization and partial melting in magmas of similar composition demonstrate that K-feldspar is one of the last phases to nucleate and that most crystal growth must occur after the magma has exceeded 50% crystallization and is thus incapable of flow and sedimentation. Megacryst size distributions, compositions and textural relationships from the Tuolumne Intrusive Suite, California reveal that the gradational transition from equigranular to megacrystic granodiorite occurs via textural coarsening in which material from small crystals is transferred to developing megacrysts. Many other examples of K-feldspar megacrystic plutons exist. However, detailed mapping (inter-pluton K-feldspar size distributions) and high-precision multiple location geochronologic studies of many suites are seldom available. Using the TIS as an analog and the implications of the model presented here, we suggest that zoned intrusive suites containing K-feldspar megacrysts are long-lived and emplaced incrementally through multiple magmatic pulses.

description: The object of the research are temporary populations in urban contexts. Various forms of temporary dwelling are analysed in the literature on urban studies, such as those related to tourism, study, work and lifestyle migration, but they are treated mainly separately. Despite the strong differences between these groups, I propose temporariness as a dimension that connects them, in a macro-category that can be defined as temporary populations. Through quantitative and qualitative methods, I present data sources, numerical estimates, socio-economic characteristics and spatial trends of this category, in the specific case study of Rome. These data and analytical methods are useful to discuss the impact of these groups on housing, economic and social dynamics and, more generally, on the city's development model.

description: This study analyses a potential investment by a possible pension investor in government bonds issued in foreign currency under a risk-return perspective. In particular, the government bond under study is the thirty-year Italy Govt ISIN US465410CC03, denominated in US dollars. By means of stochastic processes, the trend in the exchange rate between the two currencies, the dollar, and the euro, is simulated to assess its impact on the yield to maturity of the government bond considered. The analysis involves determining the probabilities of obtaining a negative yield in the different simulation scenarios. In addition, there are also determined the probabilities of obtaining returns to maturity lower than those obtainable with a similar investment instrument denominated in euro.

description: A portfolio insurance strategy is a dynamic hedging process aiming to limit downside risk during a market downturn and allow the investor to obtain an equity market participation in the upside market. The biggest potential risk of implementing a portfolio insurance strategy is the so-called cash-in risk, i.e., the risk that the underlying asset registers huge drops before the portfolio can be rebalanced. In such cases, the value of the insured portfolio would fall below the floor (the insured capital), and the consequence is that the portfolio is fully monetized, not allowing the investor to recover the capital initially invested. First, this paper reviews the main properties of the most important allocation algorithm, the so called Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI), and how the cash-in risk embedded with this allocation strategy can be modeled and hedged. Secondly, it describes the main extensions of CPPI proposed in the literature to improve its capability to reduce cash-in risk.

description: Long-term demographic dynamics, characterised by increasing life expectancy, low fertility and marital instability, pose major challenges to the Italian welfare, particularly with regard to the care of the elderly and their well-being. Ageing in place and inclusive housing are key elements to foster and promote active ageing. However, in Italy solidarity and silver cohousing projects are still scarce and limited to the sphere of social experimentation. This article presents existing good practices on the territory, which could represent a starting point for rede-signing the Italian housing system in the direction of greater inclusiveness.

Elite mortuary practices at San José de Moro during the transitional period: the case study of collective burial M-U615
Creators: name: Rucabado-Yong, Julio
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2006

description: This paper present a study of elite mortuary practices in the north coast of Ancient Perú, specifically at the regional cemetery of San José de Moro in the Jequetepeque-Chamán region during the Transitional period (circa A.D. 800-1000). During this period, the local elite mortuary tradition experienced changes and continuities as part of a major process of sociopolitical transformations during and after the collapse of the local Moche polity. As a case study that exemplifies this process, I present a description and analysis of Burial M-U615, an Early Transitional collective tomb associated with successive interments of local ceremonial leaders and members of their elite group. Comparing diverse characteristics of Burial M-U615 with previous Late Moche elite burials also allow me to explain elite mortuary practices as ideological mechanisms used in the legitimization of ceremonial leadership at San José de Moro during the Early Transitional phase.

GeMs/GSAOI observations of La Serena 94: an old and far open cluster inside the solar circle

description: Physical properties were derived for the candidate open cluster La Serena 94, recently unveiled by the VVV collaboration. Thanks to the exquisite angular resolution provided by GeMS/GSAOI, we could characterize this system in detail, for the first time, with deep photometry in JHK$_{s}$ - bands. Decontaminated JHK$_{s}$ diagrams reach about 5 mag below the cluster turnoff in H. The locus of red clump giants in the colour - colour diagram, together with an extinction law, was used to obtain an average extinction of $A_V =14.18 \pm 0.71$. The same stars were considered as standard - candles to derive the cluster distance, $8.5 \pm 1.0$ kpc. Isochrones were matched to the cluster colour - magnitude diagrams to determine its age, $\log{t(yr)}=9.12\pm 0.06$, and metallicity, $Z=0.02\pm0.01$. A core radius of $r_{c}=0.51\pm 0.04$ pc was found by fitting King models to the radial density profile. By adding up the visible stellar mass to an extrapolated mass function, the cluster mass was estimated as $M=(2.65\pm0.57) \times 10^3$ M$_{\odot}$, consistent with an integrated magnitude of $M_{K}=-5.82\pm0.16$ and a tidal radius of $r_{t}=17.2\pm2.1$ pc. The overall characteristics of La Serena 94 confirm that it is an old open cluster located in the Crux spiral arm towards the fourth Galactic quadrant and distant $7.30\pm 0.49$ kpc from the Galactic centre. The cluster distorted structure, mass segregation and age indicate that it is a dynamically evolved stellar system.

An advanced leakage scheme for neutrino treatment in astrophysical simulations

description: We present an Advanced Spectral Leakage (ASL) scheme to model neutrinos in the context of core-collapse supernovae and compact binary mergers. Based on previous gray leakage schemes, the ASL scheme computes the neutrino cooling rates by interpolating local production and diffusion rates (relevant in optically thin and thick regimes, respectively), separately for discretized values of the neutrino energy. Neutrino trapped components are also modeled, based on equilibrium and timescale arguments. The better accuracy achieved by the spectral treatment allows a more reliable computation of neutrino heating rates in optically thin conditions. The scheme has been calibrated and tested against Boltzmann transport in the context of Newtonian spherically symmetric models of core-collapse supernovae. ASL shows a very good qualitative and a partial quantitative agreement, for key quantities from collapse to a few hundreds of milliseconds after core bounce. We have proved the adaptability and flexibility of our ASL scheme coupling it to an axisymmetric Eulerian and to a three-dimensional SPH code to simulate core-collapse. Therefore, the neutrino treatment presented here is ideal for large parameter-space explorations, parametric studies, high-resolution tests, code developments, and long-term modeling of asymmetric configurations, where more detailed neutrino treatments are not available or currently computationally too expensive.
