description: Two self-consistent schemes involving Hedin's $GW$ approximation are studied for a set of sixteen different atoms and small molecules. We compare results from the fully self-consistent $GW$ approximation (SC$GW$) and the quasi-particle self-consistent $GW$ approximation (QS$GW$) within the same numerical framework. Core and valence electrons are treated on an equal footing in all the steps of the calculation. We use basis sets of localized functions to handle the space dependence of quantities and spectral functions to deal with their frequency dependence. We compare SC$GW$ and QS$GW$ on a qualitative level by comparing the computed densities of states (DOS). To judge their relative merit on a quantitative level, we compare their vertical ionization potentials (IPs) with those obtained from coupled-cluster calculations CCSD(T). Our results are futher compared with "one-shot" $G_0W_0$ calculations starting from Hartree-Fock solutions ($G_0W_0$-HF). Both self-consistent $GW$ approaches behave quite similarly. Averaging over all the studied molecules, both methods show only a small improvement (somewhat larger for SC$GW$) of the calculated IPs with respect to $G_0W_0$-HF results. Interestingly, SC$GW$ and QS$GW$ calculations tend to deviate in opposite directions with respect to CCSD(T) results. SC$GW$ systematically underestimates the IPs, while QS$GW$ tends to overestimate them. $G_0W_0$-HF produces results which are surprisingly close to QS$GW$ calculations both for the DOS and for the numerical values of the IPs.

The Close Binary Frequency of Wolf-Rayet Stars as a Function of Metallicity in M31 and M33

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Massive star evolutionary models generally predict the correct ratio of WC-type and WN-type Wolf-Rayet stars at low metallicities, but underestimate the ratio at higher (solar and above) metallicities. One possible explanation for this failure is perhaps single-star models are not sufficient and Roche-lobe overflow in close binaries is necessary to produce the "extra" WC stars at higher metallicities. However, this would require the frequency of close massive binaries to be metallicity dependent. Here we test this hypothesis by searching for close Wolf-Rayet binaries in the high metallicity environments of M31 and the center of M33 as well as in the lower metallicity environments of the middle and outer regions of M33. After identifying ~100 Wolf-Rayet binaries based on radial velocity variations, we conclude that the close binary frequency of Wolf-Rayets is not metallicity dependent and thus other factors must be responsible for the overabundance of WC stars at high metallicities. However, our initial identifications and observations of these close binaries have already been put to good use as we are currently observing additional epochs for eventual orbit and mass determinations.

Application of Collaborative Learning Paradigms within Software Engineering Education: A Systematic Mapping Study

description: Collaboration is used in Software Engineering (SE) to develop software. Industry seeks SE graduates with collaboration skills to contribute to productive software development. SE educators can use Collaborative Learning (CL) to help students develop collaboration skills. This paper uses a Systematic Mapping Study (SMS) to examine the application of the CL educational theory in SE Education. The SMS identified 14 papers published between 2011 and 2022. We used qualitative analysis to classify the papers into four CL paradigms: Conditions, Effect, Interactions, and Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL). We found a high interest in CSCL, with a shift in student interaction research to computer-mediated technologies. We discussed the 14 papers in depth, describing their goals and further analysing the CSCL research. Almost half the papers did not achieve the appropriate level of supporting evidence; however, calibrating the instruments presented could strengthen findings and support multiple CL paradigms, especially opportunities to learn at the social and community levels, where research was lacking. Though our results demonstrate limited CL educational theory applied in SE Education, we discuss future work to layer the theory on existing study designs for more effective teaching strategies.

description: We have investigated the conductance properties of C60-containing self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), which are used in organic field-effect transistors, employing a combination of molecular-dynamics simulations, semiempirical electronic structure calculations and Landauer transport theory. The results reveal the close relation between the transport characteristics and the structural and electronic properties of the SAM. Furthermore, both local pathways of charge transport in the SAMs and the influence of structural fluctuations are analyzed.

description: In this paper, we complete the study of the geometry of the TDOA map that encodes the noiseless model for the localization of a source from the range differences between three receivers in a plane, by computing the Cartesian equation of the bifurcation curve in terms of the positions of the receivers. From that equation, we can compute its real asymptotic lines. The present manuscript completes the analysis of [Inverse Problems, Vol. 30, Number 3, Pages 035004]. Our result is useful to check if a source belongs or is closed to the bifurcation curve, where the localization in a noisy scenario is ambiguous.

EPR paradox and quantum steering in a three-mode optomechanical system

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study multi-partite entanglement, the generation of EPR states and quantum steering in a three-mode optomechanical system composed of an atomic ensemble located inside a single-mode cavity with a movable mirror. The cavity mode is driven by a short laser pulse, has a nonlinear parametric-type interaction with the mirror and a linear beamsplitter-type interaction with the atomic ensemble. There is no direct interaction of the mirror with the atomic ensemble. A threshold effect for the dynamics of the system is found, above which the system works as an amplifier and below which as an attenuator of the output fields. The threshold is determined by the ratio of the coupling strengths of the cavity mode to the mirror and to the atomic ensemble. It is shown that above the threshold the system effectively behaves as a two-mode system in which a perfect bipartite EPR state can be generated, while it is impossible below the threshold. Furthermore, a fully inseparable tripartite entanglement and even further a genuine tripartite entanglement can be produced above and below the threshold. In addition, we consider quantum steering and examine the monogamy relations that quantify the amount of bipartite steering that can be shared between different modes. It is found that the mirror is more capable for steering of entanglement than the cavity mode. The two way steering is found between the mirror and the atomic ensemble despite the fact that they are not directly coupled to each other, while it is impossible between the output of cavity mode and the ensemble which are directly coupled to each other.

description: Bacterial flagellar motor (BFM) is one of the ion-driven molecular machines, which drives the rotation of flagellar filaments and enable bacteria to swim in viscous solutions. Understanding its mechanism is one challenge in biophysics. Based on previous models and inspired by the idea used in description of motor proteins, in this study one two-state model is provided. Meanwhile, according to corresponding experimental data, mathematical relationship between BFM membrane voltage and pH value of the environment, and relationship between internal and external sodium concentrations are given. Therefore, with model parameter values obtained by fitting theoretical results of torque-speed relation to recent experimental data, many biophysical properties of bacterial flagellar motor can be obtained for any pH values and any external sodium concentrations. Including the rotation speed, stall torque (i.e. the torque generated by BFM), rotation dispersion, and rotation randomness. In this study, the single-stator BFM will be firstly analyzed, and then properties of multiple-stator BFM are addressed briefly.

description: In this paper we study compactifications of heterotic string theory on manifolds satisfying the ddbar-lemma. We consider the Strominger system description of the low energy supergravity to first order in alpha' and show that the moduli of such compactifications are subspaces of familiar cohomology groups such as H^1(TX), H^1(TX*), H^1(End_0(V)) and H^1(End_0(TX)). These groups encode the complex structure, Kahler moduli, bundle moduli and perturbations of the spin connection respectively in the case of a Calabi-Yau compactification. We investigate the fluctuations of only a subset of the conditions of the Strominger system (expected to correspond physically to F-term constraints in the effective theory). The full physical moduli space is, therefore, given by a further restriction on these degrees of freedom which we discuss but do not explicitly provide. This paper is complementary to a previous tree-level worldsheet analysis of such moduli and agrees with that discussion in the limit of vanishing alpha'. The structure we present can be interpreted in terms of recent work in Atiyah and Courant algebroids, and we conjecture links with aspects of Hitchin's generalized geometry to heterotic moduli.

description: PRAIA - Package for the Reduction of Astronomical Images Automatically - is a suite of astrometric and photometric tasks designed to cope with huge amounts of heterogeneous observations with fast processing, no human intervention, minimum parametrization and yet maximum possible accuracy and precision. It is the main tool used to analyse astronomical observations by an international collaboration involving Brazilian, French and Spanish researchers under the Lucky Star umbrella for Solar System studies. In this paper, we focus on the astrometric concepts underneath PRAIA, used in reference system works, natural satellite and NEA astrometry for dynamical and ephemeris studies, and lately for the precise prediction of stellar occultations by planetary satellites, dwarf-planets, TNOs, Centaurs and Trojan asteroids. We highlight novelties developed by us and never reported before in the literature, which significantly enhance astrometry precision and automation. Such as the robust object detection and aperture characterization (BOIA), which explains the long standing empirical photometry/astrometry axiom that recommends using apertures with 2 - 3 sigma (Gaussian width) radius. We give examples showing the astrometry performance, discuss the advantages of PRAIA over other astrometry packages and comment about future planed astrometry implementations. PRAIA codes and input files are publicly available for the first time at: https://ov.ufrj.br/en/PRAIA/. PRAIA astrometry is useful for Solar System as well as astrophysical observations.

description: We present a new design of plasmonic nanoantenna with a slant gap for optical chirality engineering. At resonance, the slant gap provides highly enhanced electric field parallel to external magnetic field with a phase delay of 90 degree, resulting in enhanced optical chirality. We show by numerical simulations that upon linearly polarized excitation our achiral nanoantenna can generate near field with enhanced optical chirality that can be tuned by the slant angle and resonance condition. Our design can be easily realized and may find applications in circular dichroism enhancement.

description: The random field Ising model (RFIM) is central to the study of disordered systems. Yet, for a long time it eluded realization in ferromagnetic systems because of the difficulty to produce locally random magnetic fields. Recently it was shown that in anisotropic dipolar magnetic insulators, the archetypal of which is the $LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4$ system, the RFIM can be realized in both ferromagnetic and spin glass phases. The interplay between an applied transverse field and the offdiagonal terms of the dipolar interaction produce effective longitudinal fields, which are random in sign and magnitude as a result of spatial dilution. In this paper we use exact numerical diagonalization of the full Hamiltonian of Ho pairs in $LiHo_xY_{1-x}F_4$ to calculate the effective longitudinal field beyond the perturbative regime. In particular, we find that nearby spins can experience an effective field larger than the intrinsic dipolar broadening (of quantum states in zero field) which can therefore be evidenced in experiments. We then calculate the magnetization and susceptibility under several experimental protocols, and show how these protocols can produce direct measurement of the effective longitudinal field.

description: The VERTEX code is employed for multi-dimensional neutrino-radiation hydrodynamics simulations of core-collapse supernova explosions from first principles. The code is considered state-of-the-art in supernova research and it has been used for modeling for more than a decade, resulting in numerous scientific publications. The computational performance of the code, which is currently deployed on several high-performance computing (HPC) systems up to the Tier-0 class (e.g. in the framework of the European PRACE initiative and the German GAUSS program), however, has so far not been extensively documented. This paper presents a high-level overview of the relevant algorithms and parallelization strategies and outlines the technical challenges and achievements encountered along the evolution of the code from the gigaflops scale with the first, serial simulations in 2000, up to almost petaflops capabilities, as demonstrated lately on the SuperMUC system of the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ). In particular, we shall document the parallel scalability and computational efficiency of VERTEX at the large scale and on the major, contemporary HPC platforms. We will outline upcoming scientific requirements and discuss the resulting challenges for the future development and operation of the code.

description: The area investigated is located in the southeastern corner of the Santa Clara River Basin in Los Angeles County, California, near the towns of Saugus and Newhall.

Five formations of Tertiary age, bounded on the south and east by the basement complex of the San Gabriel Range, are found in the area. The oldest formation, the Mint Canyon of upper Miocene age is successively overlain by upper Miocene Model, Pliocene Pico, Pliocene-Pleistocene Saugus and Pleistocene Terrace deposits.

These sedimentary formations have been folded and faulted during the two major periods of deformation, the first at the end of the Miocene period when they were acted upon by compressive forces from the north and the second period during which they were subjected to the same set of compressive forces and in addition a new set of forces which caused the uplift of the crystalline mass of the San Gabriel Range. The latter period of deformation occurred after the deposition of the Saugus formation during Pleistocene time.
CP violating phase from charged-lepton mixing

description: A model independent analysis of the leptonic Dirac CP-violating phase (δ) is presented. The analysis uses the experimentally determined values of the mixing angles in the lepton mixing matrix in order to explore the allowed values for δ and possible general forms for the charged lepton mixing matrix. This is done under two general assumptions: 1) that the mixing matrix in the neutrino sector is the so-called tribimaximal matrix and hence the non zero value for θ13 arises due to the mixing matrix in the charged lepton sector and 2) the charged lepton mixing matrix is parametrized in terms of three angles and one phase. It is found that any value of δ is still consistent with the data and that, considering the assumptions above, regardless of the value for δ, the 1-3 mixing angle in the charged lepton sector is small but non zero and the 2-3 mixing angle can take values in only two possible small ranges around 0 and π/2 respectively.

Connecting the COVID-19 dots: susceptibility factors and host response immunodynamics in SARS-CoV-2 infection and disease severity

Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causing the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic, has a vast heterogeneity of host responses, with resulting symptoms ranging from an asymptomatic phenotype, to a mild−moderate disease course, to a severe or critical disease status with significant hypoxia accompanied by acute respiratory distress syndrome, extensive pulmonary damage, and circulatory and multiorgan failure. SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with several susceptibility factors that can contribute to a more severe clinical disease course with increased morbidity and mortality.These include age-related susceptibility (most prominent in the elderly and in infants), underlying chronic diseases and/or a compromised immune system, male sex, pregnancy and the postpartum period, specific ABO blood groups, several respiratory conditions, as well as high occupational viral exposure. However, a severe and novel disorder, termed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) and adults (MIS-A), can develop following SARS-CoV-2 infection in previously healthy individuals, which can rapidly progress to critical illness with hyperinflammatory processes leading to multiorgan damage. Furthermore, genetic factors may also influence susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 severity, the identification of which could prove useful as biomarkers to identify individuals at greater risk of severe disease or MIS-C/MIS-A development. Here, we aim to define (a) the immunodynamics of the range of host immune responses to SARS-CoV-2 infection, (b) how the various susceptibility factors mechanistically influence these immunodynamics, with converging mechanisms between the susceptible demographic groups contributing to a severe disease phenotype or MIS-C/MIS-A, and (c) and how these immunodynamics could inform the development of long-term immunotherapeutic strategies.

description: As the marvellous growth of the digital library in each year, the problems with indexing and searching a digital library is increased in a high rate. When the researchers search for the earlier versions, only a few recent versions in the back volumes can be retrieved soon. It is unpredictable that researchers require the earlier versions in a specific boundary. In order to facilitate the researchers, who may access any version at any time, we propose a VTAG technique for indexing. Our experiments indicate that the proposed retrieval technique, VTAG, effectively retrieves any version in considerable amount of time than the existing method.

description: We have observed the post common envelope binary WD0137-349 in the near infrared $J$, $H$ and $K$ bands and have determined that the photometry varies on the system period (116 min). The amplitude of the variability increases with increasing wavelength, indicating that the brown dwarf in the system is likely being irradiated by its 16500 K white dwarf companion. The effect of the (primarily) UV irradiation on the brown dwarf atmosphere is unknown, but it is possible that stratospheric hazes are formed. It is also possible that the brown dwarf (an L-T transition object) itself is variable due to patchy cloud cover. Both these scenarios are discussed, and suggestions for further study are made.

Considerable time was spent in plane table surveying to establish a control for aeroplane pictures used in part to map the geology and locate some of the mine openings. A portion of the Ramona and Cuyamaca sheets of the U.S.G.S. topographic atlas enlarged 5 times from a scale of 1" = 2 mi. (approximately) to a scale of 1" = 2000', was used to map certain areas, notably along the western edge of the main schist belt. The accompanying map is a compilation of data plotted on an engineer’s base map prepared by Allen and Rowe, Inc., of San Diego. The hypsography is from portions of the U.S.G.S. Ramona and Cuyamaca Quadrangles, amended by the writer, who has also revised or added certain culture date.  (N.B. This is not the appended map.)

description: The paper addresses asymptotic estimation of normal means under sparsity. The primary focus is estimation of multivariate normal means where we obtain exact asymptotic minimax error under global-local shrinkage prior. This extends the corresponding univariate work of Ghosh and Chakrabarti (2017). In addition, we obtain similar results for the Dirichlet-Laplace prior as considered in Bhattacharya, Pati, Pillai, and Dunson (2015). Also, following van der Pas, Szabo, and van der Vaart (2017), we have been able to derive credible sets for multivariate normal means under global-local priors.

description: We have pioneered a new method for the measurement of extragalactic distances. This method uses the time-lag between variations in the short wavelength and long wavelength light from an active galactic nucleus (AGN), based on a quantitative physical model of dust reverberation that relates the time-lag to the absolute luminosity of the AGN. We use the large homogeneous data set from intensive monitoring observations in optical and near-infrared wavelength bands with the dedicated 2-m MAGNUM telescope to obtain the distances to 17 AGNs in the redshift range z=0.0024 to z=0.0353. These distance measurements are compared with distances measured using Cepheid variable stars, and are used to infer that H_0= 73 +- 3 (random) km/s/Mpc. The systematic error in H_0 is examined, and the uncertainty in the size distribution of dust grains is the largest source of the systematic error, which is much reduced for a sample of AGNs for which their parameter values in the model of dust reverberation are individually measured. This AGN time-lag method can be used beyond 30 Mpc, the farthest distance reached by extragalactic Cepheids, and can be extended to high-redshift quasi-stellar objects.

description: In the past few years the number of well-sampled optical to NIR light curves of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) has greatly increased particularly due to simultaneous multi-band imagers such as GROND. Combining these densely sampled ground-based data sets with the Swift UVOT and XRT space observations unveils a much more complex afterglow evolution than what was predicted by the most commonly invoked theoretical models. GRB 100814A represents a remarkable example of these interesting well-sampled events, showing a prominent late-time rebrightening in the optical to NIR bands and a complex spectral evolution. This represents a unique laboratory to test the different afterglow emission models. Here we study the nature of the complex afterglow emission of GRB 100814A in the framework of different theoretical models. Moreover, we compare the late-time chromatic rebrightening with those observed in other well-sampled long GRBs. We analysed the optical and NIR observations obtained with the seven-channel Gamma-Ray burst Optical and Near-infrared Detector at the 2.2 m MPG/ESO telescope together with the X-ray and UV data detected by the instruments onboard the Swift observatory. The broad-band afterglow evolution, achieved by constructing multi-instrument light curves and spectral energy distributions, will be discussed in the framework of different theoretical models. We find that the standard models that describe the broad-band afterglow emission within the external shock scenario fail to describe the complex evolution of GRB 100814A, and therefore more complex scenarios must be invoked.

subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: The Santa Susanna Mountains lie to the west and north of the City of San Fernando, California. The mountains form the northwest boundary of the San Fernando Valley, which is separated from Los Angeles and its suburbs by the Santa Monica Mountains.

About five and one-half square miles of country were mapped, this area lying north-northeast of Santa Susanna Pass, at the northwest corner of San Fernando Valley. The valley is noted for its productive farm land. In the foothills of the Santa Susanna Mountains there are many week-end cabins, together with cattle ranches. Cattle are grazed principally on the Modelo Formation, which, because of its character, allows good grass to grow.

While there has been a little oil prospecting and drilling, no oil has been found in the area mapped. There are, however, good producing fields on the north side of the Santa Susanna Mountains.
From shadow to light: make data visible. DDI, a collaborative ground for the Library and the Center for Socio-Political Data (CDSP) of Sciences Po
Creators: name: Michaud, Geneviève

Year: 2018
Subjects: social sciences, repository, research data

description: With a catalogue of nearly one million documents and a wide range of digital resources, Sciences Po’s Library is recognized as a reference for the social sciences in Europe.

60% of its references are provided in foreign languages.

Numerous research teams produce actively data each year (wide thematic range: political science, economy, sociology, history,  …).

Until recently, data was “hidden”: no curation, preservation, documentation, management was formally planned by the research teams. From 2015, a new project was set up by Sciences Po, whose purpose is to curate data and add value to them by using metadata (DDI, MODS, METS, etc.) to make them visible and maintained over time.

The CDSP, which is specialized in the curation and dissemination of quantitative and qualitative SHS surveys and datasets, collaborates with the Library on the technical aspects of the set-up of Sciences Po’s institutional repository.

This presentation will focus on three points: How to integrate DDI to an existing metadata schema at the Library? How about the interoperability between DDI and other existing standards and information systems at the library? How to collaborate with the other Sciences Po research and data centers? Is the “library’s DDI” compatible with “CDSP’s DDI”?

description: The Vasquez Series, composed of coarse fanglomerates, finer sandstones, and lavas, represents sub-areal deposition in the form of a series of rapidly coalescing alluvial fans. These fans were formed in a basin entirely local in character (confined to the Ravenna and Lang Quadrangles) which was probably caused by faulting, either in late Oligocene or very early Miocene time.

The sediments are early or early middle Miocene in age, are very well consolidated, poorly sorted, and broadly stratified. They occur associated with intrusions of quartz diorite, syenite, and anorthosite, contacting these formations either depositionally or by means of faults.

The lavas are of both intrusive and extrusive origin. The extrusive type is both vesicular and amygdaloidal, while the intrusive type is massive.

The section is broken by two major fault systems. The older of these, trending northwest-southeast, is represented by normal faults, whose movement is primarily vertical, while the younger system, trending nearly at right angles to the other, consists of steep strike-slip faults.

description: The study evaluates three background subtraction techniques. The techniques ranges from very basic algorithm to state of the art published techniques categorized based on speed, memory requirements and accuracy. Such a review can effectively guide the designer to select the most suitable method for a given application in a principled way. The algorithms used in the study ranges from varying levels of accuracy and computational complexity. Few of them can also deal with real time challenges like rain, snow, hails, swaying branches, objects overlapping, varying light intensity or slow moving objects.
title: Targeting the M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor in neurodegeneration
Creators: name: Sarah, Hesse
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, and to date, no disease-modifying treatments exist. The M1 muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) is an established therapeutic target for the symptomatic treatment of AD, and drugs activating the M1 mAChR have been shown to improve cognitive decline and behavioural symptoms in several clinical trials. Pre-clinical evidence also suggests that M1 mAChRs may also have disease-modifying effects in neurodegeneration, such as modification of the classical AD hallmarks, amyloid β (Aβ) and tau. Due to the conserved nature of the classic orthosteric binding site of the five mAChR subtypes, targeting one subtype via this binding site specifically has proved challenging. The development of compounds targeting the less conserved allosteric site has enabled significant improvements in subtype selectivity. Chronic dosing with the M1 mAChR positive allosteric modulator (PAM) VU0486846 has demonstrated disease-modifying potential in a murine prion model of terminal neurodegeneration and in an Aβ-based genetic AD model. This thesis aimed to assess the effect of chronic treatment with the M1 mAChR PAM VU0486846 in the rTG4510 tauopathy mouse model. The results show that VU0486846 did not affect the expression of neuropathological markers of disease, such as phosphorylated tau and glial fibrillary acidic protein, but reversed elevated levels of coagulation factor III and cystatin C that were observed in diseased mice when compared to controls. The normalisation of coagulation factor III and cystatin C, which have both been shown to be dysregulated in AD patients, remains an interesting avenue for further research. As part of trying to understand the potential of the M1 mAChR as a drug target, it is crucial to also determine receptor localisation. Therefore, this thesis also aimed to assess M1 mAChR distribution in the brain using a M1-monomeric enhanced green fluorescent protein (meGFP) mouse line, which expresses the meGFP tagged version of the M1 mAChR in the endogenous gene locus. Tissue clearing was used to visualise the receptor and a range of studies was performed to explore the utility of the meGFP-tagged M1 mAChR. Overall, this thesis identified some novel changes following chronic treatment with a M1 mAChR PAM in a tauopathy mouse model, which warrant further investigation to fully evaluate the potential of targeting the M1 mAChR in neurodegeneration.
