description: Conspecific recognition is the ability to distinguish and respond to individuals of the same species. In nematodes, this behavior can mediate aggregation, feeding behavior, or mating. Here, we investigated whether and how the predatory nematode Seinura caverna recognizes and avoids conspecifics to prey on. In predation assays, S. caverna did not kill conspecifics, but killed nematodes of three heterospecific species. Interestingly, S. caverna did not kill Ektaphelenchoides spondylis nematodes. S. caverna did not eject its stylet when encountering conspecifics or E. spondylis. The characterization of the internal cuticle structure of 13 nematode species suggested that the cuticle may play a role in the preying decision, as E. spondylis and S. caverna exhibited similar, type III, cuticle layers. Chemical extracts from S. caverna further repelled conspecifics. We discuss the potential hierarchical use of physical and chemical cues in S. caverna predation behavior and provide insights into the evolutionary adaptations and behavior of this organism.

description: Migrating birds often fly in group formations during the daytime; whereas at night, it is generally presumed that they fly singly. However, it is difficult to quantify group behavior during nocturnal migration as there are few means of directly observing interactions among individuals. We employed an automated form of moonwatching to estimate percentages of birds that appear to migrate in groups during the night within the Central Flyway of North America. We compared percentages of birds in groups across the spring and fall and examined overnight temporal patterns of group behavior. We found groups were rare in both seasons, never exceeding 10% of birds observed, and were almost nonexistent during the fall. We also observed an overnight pattern of group behavior in the spring wherein groups were more commonly detected early in the night and again just before migration activity ceased. This finding may be related to changes in species composition of migrants throughout the night, or alternatively it suggests that group formation may be associated with flocking activity on the ground as groups are most prevalent when birds begin and end a night of migration.

description: We used the LunAero system (Honeycutt et al. 2020;m https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ohx.2020.e00106) to record video footage of the moon at sites in Central Oklahoma including the Kessler Atmospheric and Ecological Field Station (34.98°N, 97.52°W); private residences in Norman, Oklahoma (35.22°N, 97.44°W); and the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains Lab (36.61°N, 97.48°W). These sites aligned north to south and were all within the North American Central Flyway (Buhnerkempe et al. 2016). Much of the video footage we collected was unusable due to cloudy skies and/or technical issues with the hardware. Hence, we screened the footage to identify recordings where the video was suitable for further analysis. All footage used in our analyses were collected within 5 days of a full moon or when the moon was at least 66% illuminated. The steps used to extract, filter, and validate flight paths from our video footage are described in Honeycutt and Bridge (2022; https://doi.org/10.1093/icb/icac053). This workflow yielded a dataset wherein all detected bird silhouettes were incorporated into individual flight paths along with their screen coordinates (x and y) and timestamps.

description: We explore the mono-$Z$ signature for dark matter searches at future high energy $e^+e^-$ colliders. In the context of effective field theory, we consider two kinds of contact operators describing dark matter interactions with electroweak gauge bosons and with electron/positron, respectively. For five benchmark models, we propose kinematic cuts to distinguish signals from backgrounds for both charged leptonic and hadronic decay modes of the $Z$ boson. We also present the experimental sensitivity to cutoff scales of effective operators and compare it with that of the Fermi-LAT indirect search and demonstrate the gains in significance for the several configurations of polarized beams.

On the origin of power-law distributions in systems with constrained phase space

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: Behavior of condensed matter systems deviating from the standard equilibrium conditions is discussed. Statistical properties of coupled dynamic-stochastic systems are studied within a combination of the maximum information principle and the superstatistical approach. The conditions at which the Shannon entropy functional leads to a power-law statistics are investigated. It is demonstrated that, from a quite general point of view, the power-law dependencies may appear as a consequence of "global" constraints restricting both the dynamic phase space and the stochastic fluctuations. As a result, at sufficiently long observation times, the dynamic counterpart is driven into a non-equilibrium steady state whose deviation from the usual exponential statistics is given by the distance from the conventional equilibrium.

description: Our theoretical examination of second and third harmonic generation from metal-based nanostructures predicts that nonlocal and quantum tunneling phenomena can significantly exceed expectations based solely on local, classical electromagnetism. Mindful that the diameter of typical transition metal atoms is approximately 3Å, we adopt a theoretical model that treats nanometer-size features and/or sub-nanometer size gaps or spacers by taking into account: (i) the limits imposed by atomic size to fulfill the requirements of continuum electrodynamics; (ii) spillage of the nearly-free electron cloud into the surrounding vacuum; and (iii) the increased probability of quantum tunneling as objects are placed in close proximity. Our approach also includes the treatment of bound charges, which add crucial, dynamical components to the dielectric constant that are neglected in the conventional hydrodynamic model, especially in the visible and UV ranges, where interband transitions are important. The model attempts to inject into the classical electrodynamic picture a simple, perhaps more realistic description of the metal surface by incorporating a thin patina of free-electrons that screens an internal, polarizable medium.

 • The impact of vegetation elements on the particle distribution was higher more close
 to the sources (traffic lines) and more pronounced in the mid- to high-end concentration
 range.

description: This thesis outlines a holistic approach to recycling automotive shredder residue (car waste) as a potential waste resource for energy and metal recovery. Therefore, this thesis explores a novel pathway in pre-processing the waste and thereby pyrolysis to obtain three different products. The two pyrolysis products can be used as an alternative source for fossil-based fuels, and the solid product containing metal is used for its metal recovery. This thesis used theoretical calculation and developed a kinetic model to support the results. This thesis also examines whether the proposed work is economically viable at commercial- scale.

description: The molecular compound K$_6$[V$^{IV}_{15}$As$^{III}_6$O$_{42}$(H$_2$O)] $\cdot$ 8H$_2$O, in short V$_{15}$, has shown important quantum effects such as coherent spin oscillations. The details of the spin quantum dynamics depend on the exact form of the spin Hamiltonian. In this study, we present a precise analysis of the intramolecular interactions in V$_{15}$. To that purpose, we performed high-field electron spin resonance measurements at 120 GHz and extracted the resonance fields as a function of crystal orientation and temperature. The data are compared against simulations using exact diagonalization to obtain the parameters of the molecular spin Hamiltonian.

description: Weeds in New Zealand’s land-based production systems cause significant economic harm estimated at ~NZ$500 million per year. Herbicides are one means for managing weed incursions, however herbicide resistance in target plants is a growing issue. Rapid confirmation of incidences of resistance is required for initiating management plans and preventing its spread. Currently, herbicide resistance is confirmed by collecting, growing, then testing suspected plant material with doses of that herbicide – approximately a two-month process.As part of an AgResearch-led MBIE programme (Managing Herbicide Resistance), we developed genetic tests targeting known changes in plant DNA that underpin herbicide resistance. These ‘Quick’ tests allow us to confirm some forms of herbicide resistance a day after extracting DNA from candidate plants. Our initial focus was glyphosate resistance in perennial ryegrass – a growing problem in vineyards and arable systems. We developed a method that identifies DNA changes linked to glyphosate resistance and susceptibility in perennial ryegrass and have confirmed glyphosate resistance across a range of populations.We have also established another method (GT-seq) that scans DNA for changes in genes that give rise to resistance to glyphosate, Group A, and Group B herbicides in annual, perennial and hybrid ryegrass. This technology allows a rapid survey of up to 6000 samples per analysis. Using this method, a recent survey of Canterbury farms with suspected herbicide resistance in perennial ryegrass showed that several of plants carried resistance to both Group A and Group B herbicides. This method is being expanded to include wild oats, black grass and Lolium rigidum, a significant weed in Australia.By developing and implementing these ‘Quick’ tests in other important weed species, we will be providing additional tools in the toolbox to manage herbicide resistance.

description: Kirigami metamaterials dramatically change their shape through a coordinated motion of nearly rigid panels and flexible slits. Here, we study a model system for mechanism-based planar kirigami featuring periodic patterns of quadrilateral panels and rhombi slits, with the goal of predicting their engineering scale response to a broad range of loads. We develop a generalized continuum model based on the kirigami's effective (cell-averaged) nonlinear deformation, along with its slit actuation and gradients thereof. The model accounts for three sources of elasticity: a strong preference for the effective fields to match those of a local mechanism, inter-panel stresses arising from gradients in slit actuation, and distributed hinge bending. We provide a finite-element formulation of this model and implement it using the commercial software Abaqus. Simulations of the model agree quantitatively with experiments across designs and loading conditions.

description: Convective flows occur naturally in water bodies as a consequence of temperature gradients. Water bodies, such as lakes and wetlands, often present a vegetated littoral zone, which contribute to differential heating during diurnal heating and cooling, resulting in convective flows. These flows can impact the water quality of natural water bodies by changing the temperature profile and biological activities, transporting and mixing of pollutants, and flushing the littoral zone. This study provides an understanding about convective flows in unvegetated and vegetated littoral zone of natural water bodies for a range of diurnal conditions.

description: We calculate the Andreev bound states and the corresponding Josephson current for an asymmetric 2-dimensional Josephson junction by solving Bogoliubov-de-Gennes equations. The junction consists of a non-centrosymmetric superconductor (NCS) separated by a tunneling barrier with a variable height to a conventional s-wave superconductor. In addition to the antisymmetric spin-orbit coupling in the NCS on the one side, this asymmetric junction gives rise to a Rashba spin-orbit coupling at the interface. We explore the rich parameter space and recover various limiting cases such as s-wave/p-wave junction and the asymmetric s-wave junctions. In addition, we report a transition from a 0-junction to a pi/2-junction with increasing triplet-singlet pairing ratio of the NCS, which serves as a novel mechanism to determine the unknown ratio in a variety of NCS's.

description: We study close to equilibrium properties of the one-dimensional Symmetric Inclusion Process (SIP) by coupling it to two particle-reservoirs at the two boundaries with slightly different chemical potentials. The boundaries introduce irreversibility and induce a weak particle current in the system. We calculate the McLennan ensemble for SIP, which corresponds to the entropy production and the first order non-equilibrium correction for the stationary state. We find that the first order correction is a product measure, and is consistent with the local equilibrium measure corresponding to the steady state density profile.

description: We present the generation and characterization of the class of bracket states, namely phase-sensitive mixtures of coherent states exhibiting symmetry properties in the phase-space description. A bracket state can be seen as the statistical ensemble arriving at a receiver in a typical coherent-state-based communication channel. We show that when a bracket state is mixed at a beam splitter with a local oscillator, both the emerging beams exhibit a Fano factor larger than 1 and dependent on the relative phase between the input state and the local oscillator. We discuss the possibility to exploit this dependence to monitor the phase difference for the enhancement of the performances of a simple communication scheme based on direct detection. Our experimental setup involves linear optical elements and a pair of photon-number-resolving detectors operated in the mesoscopic photon-number domain.

description: Street demonstrations occur across the world. In Rio de Janeiro, June/July 2013, they reach beyond one million people. A wrathful reader of \textit{O Globo}, leading newspaper in the same city, published a letter \cite{OGlobo} where many social questions are stated and answered Yes or No. These million people of street demonstrations share opinion consensus about a similar set of social issues. But they did not reach this consensus within such a huge numbered meetings. Earlier, they have met in diverse small groups where some of them could be convinced to change mind by other few fellows. Suddenly, a macroscopic consensus emerges. Many other big manifestations are widespread all over the world in recent times, and are supposed to remain in the future. The interesting questions are: 1) How a binary-option opinion distributed among some population evolves in time, through local changes occurred within small-group meetings? and 2) Is there some natural selection rule acting upon? Here, we address these questions through an agent-based model.

description: Character line drawing synthesis can be formulated as a special case of image-to-image translation problem that automatically manipulates the photo-to-line drawing style transformation. In this paper, we present the first generative adversarial network based end-to-end trainable translation architecture, dubbed P2LDGAN, for automatic generation of high-quality character drawings from input photos/images. The core component of our approach is the joint geometric-semantic driven generator, which uses our well-designed cross-scale dense skip connections framework to embed learned geometric and semantic information for generating delicate line drawings. In order to support the evaluation of our model, we release a new dataset including 1,532 well-matched pairs of freehand character line drawings as well as corresponding character images/photos, where these line drawings with diverse styles are manually drawn by skilled artists.

description: We find that sensory noise delivered together with a weak periodic signal not only enhances nonlinear response of neuronal networks, but also improves the synchronization of the response to the signal. We reveal this phenomenon in neuronal networks that are in a dynamical state near a saddle-node bifurcation corresponding to appearance of sustained network oscillations. In this state, even a weak periodic signal can evoke sharp nonlinear oscillations of neuronal activity. These sharp network oscillations have a deterministic form and amplitude determined by nonlinear dynamical equations. The signal-to-noise ratio reaches a maximum at an optimum level of sensory noise, manifesting stochastic resonance (SR) at the population level. We demonstrate SR by use of simulations and numerical integration of rate equations in a cortical model with stochastic neurons. Using this model, we mimic the experiments of Gluckman et al. [B. J. Gluckman et al, Phys. Rev. Lett., v. 77, 4098 (1996)] that have given evidence of SR in mammalian brain. We also study neuronal networks in which neurons are grouped in modules and every module works in the regime of SR. We find that even a few modules can strongly enhance the reliability of signal detection in comparison with the case when a modular organization is absent.

description: To solve the global water scarcity problem and meet the increasing demand for lithium, this thesis investigates various dual-component composite membranes for high performance desalination and lithium extraction processes. It shows that the composite membranes support wide water channels to significantly enhance the high-quality freshwater productivity from the highly salty water, block the defects to prevent the unwanted transport of metal ions and realize high lithium selectivity from salt solutions, and construct additional anion transport channels to enable continuous selective permeation of lithium ions with reduced energy input.

description: We study scalar fields subject to an equation of the Klein-Gordon type in nonstationary spacetimes, such as those found in cosmology, assuming that all the relevant spatial dependence is contained in the Laplacian. We show that the field description ---with a specific canonical pair--- and the Fock representation for the quantization of the field are fixed indeed in a unique way (except for unitary transformations that do not affect the physical predictions) if we adopt the combined criterion of (a) imposing the invariance of the vacuum under the group of spatial symmetries of the field equations and (b) requiring a unitary implementation of the dynamics in the quantum theory. Besides, we provide a spacetime interpretation of the field equations as those corresponding to a scalar field in a cosmological spacetime that is conformally ultrastatic. In addition, in the privileged Fock quantization, we investigate the generalization of the evolution of physical states from the hyperbolic dynamical regime to an elliptic regime. In order to do this, we contemplate the possibility of processes with signature change in the spacetime where the field propagates and discuss the behavior of the background geometry when the change happens, proving that the spacetime metric degenerates. Finally, we argue that this kind of signature change leads naturally to a phenomenon of particle creation, with exponential production.

description: The widespread proliferation of handheld devices enables mobile carriers to be connected at anytime and anywhere. Meanwhile, the mobility patterns of mobile devices strongly depend on the users' movements, which are closely related to their social relationships and behaviors. Consequently, today's mobile networks are becoming increasingly human centric. This leads to the emergence of a new field which we call socially-aware networking (SAN). One of the major features of SAN is that social awareness becomes indispensable information for the design of networking solutions. This emerging paradigm is applicable to various types of networks (e.g. opportunistic networks, mobile social networks, delay tolerant networks, ad hoc networks, etc) where the users have social relationships and interactions. By exploiting social properties of nodes, SAN can provide better networking support to innovative applications and services. In addition, it facilitates the convergence of human society and cyber physical systems. In this paper, for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, we present a survey of this emerging field. Basic concepts of SAN are introduced. We intend to generalize the widely-used social properties in this regard. The state-of-the-art research on SAN is reviewed with focus on three aspects: routing and forwarding, incentive mechanisms and data dissemination. Some important open issues with respect to mobile social sensing and learning, privacy, node selfishness and scalability are discussed.

description: Hover flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are an important group of insects that provide a multitude of key ecosystem services including pollination and biological control, yet many of their major life history traits are not understood. Some Palearctic hover fly species are known to migrate in response to changing seasonal conditions, yet this behavior is almost entirely unrecognized in Nearctic species. At least one species, Eupeodes americanus (Wiedemann 1830), is partially migratory during autumn while Allograpta obliqua may be non-migratory, but it is unknown where these insects originate and how far they may travel. We examined natal origins of two Nearctic hover fly species, Allograpta obliqua and Eupeodes americanus, using stable hydrogen isotope (δ2H) measurements of metabolically inactive tissues (wings and legs) to derive a hover fly δ2H isoscape. While Allograpta obliqua was mostly of local origin, several Eupeodes americanus were sourced from northern latitudes in the Midwestern United States and Canada, representing travel distances of up to 3,000 km likely using seasonally favorable air currents. This phenomenon is expected to have major ecological and economic ramifications, especially in the realm of plant pollination ecology and biological control.

description: Allograpta obliqua and Eupeodes americanus were hand-netted from fall-blooming goldenrod (Solidago sp.) and frost aster (Symphyotrichum pilosum) during September and October 2019 in North Alabama (Limestone County), USA, and areas of southern Alabama in November 2019. Specimens were also captured in Illinois and their offspring were used in a laboratory experiment to produce a δ2H water to hover fly calibration equation. δ2H isotopes in precipitation were obtained from the GNIP database (https://nucleus.iaea.org/wiser) and processed using the IsoriX protocol (found here: https://bookdown.org/content/782/introduction.html). GNIP data were used to produce geostatistical models which were then used to build precipitation-weighted isoscapes. Isoscapes were then calibrated using the hover fly calibration experiment data and used to assign natal origins of specimens captured in Alabama.

description: The impact of the electrode proximity on the streamer breakdown and development of pulsed-driven dielectric barrier discharges (DBDs) in a single-filament arrangement has been investigated in a gas mixture of 0.1 vol% O2 in N2 at 0.6 bar and 1.0 bar. The gap distance was varied from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm, and the applied voltage was adapted correspondingly to create comparable breakdown conditions in the gap. The development of the DBDs was recorded by an iCCD and a streak camera system, while fast electrical measurements provided insight into discharge characteristics such as the transferred charge and consumed energy. The results demonstrate that breakdown in a smaller gap is characterised by a slower streamer propagation but a significantly higher acceleration. It can therefore be concluded that the proximity of the cathode has a strong impact on the characteristics of the streamer breakdown. However, after the streamer has crossed the gap, the discharge structure in front of the anode was found to be the same independent of the actual gap distance.

description: Multi-element wings are popular in the aerospace community due to their high lift performance. Turbulent flow simulations of these configurations require very fine mesh spacings especially near the walls, thereby making use of a boundary layer mesh necessary. However, it is difficult to accurately determine the required mesh resolution a priori to the simulations. In this paper we use an anisotropic adaptive meshing approach including adaptive control of elements in the boundary layers and study its effectiveness for two multi-element wing configurations. The results are compared with experimental data as well as nested refinements to show the efficiency of adaptivity driven by error indicators, where superior resolution in wakes and near the tip region through adaptivity are highlighted.

description: We consider Drell-Yan production $pp\to V^* X \to L X$ at small $q_T \ll Q$. Experimental measurements require fiducial cuts on the leptonic state $L$, which introduce enhanced, linear power corrections in $q_T/Q$. We show that they can be unambiguously predicted from factorization, and resummed to the same order as the leading-power contribution. We thus obtain predictions for the fiducial $q_T$ spectrum to N3LL and next-to-leading-power in $q_T/Q$. Matching to full NNLO ($\alpha_s^2$), we find that the linear power corrections are indeed the dominant ones, and the remaining fixed-order corrections become practically negligible below $q_T \lesssim 40$ GeV. We also discuss the implications for more complicated observables, and provide predictions for the fiducial $\phi^*$ spectrum at N3LL+NNLO. We find excellent agreement with ATLAS and CMS measurements of $q_T$ and $\phi^*$. We also consider the $p_T^\ell$ spectrum. We show that it develops leptonic power corrections in $q_T/(Q - 2p_T^\ell)$, which diverge near the Jacobian peak $p_T^\ell \sim Q/2$ and must be kept to all powers to obtain a meaningful result there. Doing so, we obtain for the first time an analytically resummed result for the $p_T^\ell$ spectrum around the Jacobian peak at N3LL+NNLO. Our method is based on performing a complete tensor decomposition for hadronic and leptonic tensors. In practice this is equivalent to often-used recoil prescriptions, for which our results now provide rigorous, formal justification. Our tensor decomposition yields nine Lorentz-scalar hadronic structure functions, which directly map onto the commonly used angular coefficients, but also holds for arbitrary leptonic final states. In particular, for suitably defined Born-projected leptons it still yields a LO-like angular decomposition even when including QED final-state radiation. We also discuss the application to $q_T$ subtractions.

description: Abstract 
EDA is an important and robust approach to summarizing data, visualizing key features, and assisting in building a prediction model. The paper finds different graphical methods, including bar plot, box plot, histogram, scatter plot, and correlation analysis to fetch the vital features, characteristics, and relationships among variables. The primary aim of this research was to perform exploratory data analysis using R Studio, specifically on a real-time dataset that has key information about patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease. Moreover, the study was intended to trace the key attributes responsible for cardiovascular disease and design an intelligent prognosis model using machine learning techniques. To accomplish this research, an open-source software "R" was used where lots of inbuilt libraries are available to play with the data for analysis, graphical presentation, etc. A few packages like ggplot, dplyr, and many more are available in the R language. The findings and insights play a significant role in the early and effective detection of CVD. Using R packages such as dplyr, tidyr, and ggplot2, efficiently processed and visualized the data, facilitating meaningful conclusions. Visual representations such as boxplots, histograms, crosstabs, and scatterplots provided valuable information about patterns in the data set. Furthermore, the inclusion of larger data sets and advanced machine learning algorithms my help to develop predictive models of CVD.
