description: Following the triadic taxonomy, three different body representations do exist, namely the body semantics, the body structural representation and the body schema. The development of these body representations has been widely investigated in toddlers, but several issues remain to be addressed in school age. To assess age- and gender-related changes in different body representations and to investigate the presence of different patterns of interplay between these representations of the body, 90 children (age range: 7–10) and 37 young adults (age range: 18–35) were given tasks assessing the body semantics, the body structural representation and the body schema as well as control tasks. The present results suggested that the body schema, evaluated by means of hand laterality judgments, was still not completely developed in school-aged children, whereas the body structural representation reached an adult-like pattern by the age of 9–10 years. Finally, body semantics was fully developed in school-aged children. These findings were discussed in terms of their theoretical implications, for a better understanding of body representation development; also, implications for clinical assessment of body representation disorders were discussed.

description: We study a Bose-Einstein condensate at the low energy limit and show that their collective dynamics exhibit interesting quantum dynamical behavior. The system undergoes a dynamical quantum phase transition after a sudden quench into a properly distributed static force, provided its dispersion relation is linear. We corroborate the occurrence of the dynamical phase transition by calculating Fisher zeros of the Loschmidt amplitude and showing that they cross the real time axis in thermodynamic limit. A connection is established between the order of nonanalycity in the return rate function and the spectral density of the force. Furthermore, it is shown that a logarithmic or power law scaling holds at the critical times depending on the displacement spectrum. The scaling behaviors are studied for three different cases. Eventually, a scheme for the quantum simulation of such dynamical phase transition and its verification is proposed. We show that the behavior remains observable even by taking into account the environmental effects.

description: Objective: Development of stimuli-responsive intelligent drug delivery system (based on a polysaccharide, glucuronoxylan [GX]) with on-off switching properties under physiological conditions. Significance: As GX exhibits high swelling index and stimuli-responsive swelling/de-swelling properties, therefore, this material appeared highly useful to design pH, solvent and ionic stress-sensitive oral tablet formulations, which offered on-off switching properties. In this way, we could design intelligent/smart drug delivery systems for levosulpiride (LS) and theophylline (TF) with valuable pharmaceutical properties. Methods: GX-based tablet formulations were explored for stimuli-responsive, reversible swelling–deswelling behavior, dynamic swelling, and its kinetics. Tablet surface and channeling after swelling were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Drug release study was performed mimicking the physiological conditions like pH and transit time of gastrointestinal tract (GIT). Radiographic images of tablet path (in vivo) were recorded. Results: GX-based formulations exhibited high swelling in deionized water (DW), pH 6.8 and 7.4 while negligible swelling at pH 1.2. SEM images discovered the presence of microcracks and nanopores on the surface of tablets and showed channeling after swelling of tablets in DW. Sustained drug release was observed and found directly proportional to the concentration of GX in the formulations with negligible release at pH 1.2. In vivo radiographic evaluation indicated the retention of tablets in GIT for 7 h. Hemocompatibility studies showed the non-thrombogenic and non-hemolytic nature of GX. Conclusions: GX-based smart/stimuli-responsive formulations can control/sustain the release of drugs in GIT.

description: Heat transfer from irradiated metallic nanoparticles is relevant to a broad array of applications ranging from water desalination to photoacoustics. The efficacy of such processes relies on the ability of these nanoparticles to absorb the pulsed illuminating light and to quickly transfer energy to the environment. Here we show that compared to homogeneous gold nanoparticles having the same size, gold-silica core-shell nanoparticles enable heat transfers to liquid water that are faster. We reach this conclusion by considering both analytical and numerical calculations. The key factor explaining enhanced heat transfer is the direct interfacial coupling between metal electrons and silica phonons. We discuss how to obtain fast heating of water in the vicinity of the particle and show that optimal conditions involve nanoparticles with thin silica shells irradiated by ultrafast laser pulses. Our findings should serve as guides for the optimization of thermoplasmonic applications of core-shell nanoparticles.

description: The missing mass spectrum measured in high resolution studies of the reaction pp -> K^+X is analyzed with respect to the strong final state interaction near the Lambda p production threshold. The observed spectrum can be described by factorizing the reaction amplitude in terms of a production amplitude and a final state scattering amplitude. Parametrizing the Lambda p final state interaction in terms of the inverse Jost function allows a direct extraction of the low-energy phase-equivalent potential parameters. Constraints on the singlet and triplet scattering lengths and effective ranges are deduced in a simultaneous fit of the Lambda p invariant mass spectrum and the total cross section data of the free Lambda p scattering using the effective range approximation.

description: Objective: We present descriptive information on the cognitive measures used in the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA) Comprehensive Cohort, relate this to information on these measures in the extant literature, and identify key considerations for their use in research and clinical practice. Method: The CLSA Comprehensive Cohort is composed of 30,097 participants aged 45–85 years at baseline who provided a broad range of sociodemographic, physical, social, and psychological health information via questionnaire and took part in detailed physical and cognitive assessments. Cognitive measures included: the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test – immediate and 5-min delayed recall, Animal Fluency, Mental Alternation Test (MAT), Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWAT), Stroop Test – Victoria Version, Miami Prospective Memory Test (MPMT), and a Choice Reaction Time (CRT) task. Results: CLSA Comprehensive Cohort sample sizes were far larger than previous studies, and performances on the cognitive measures were similar to comparable groups. Within the CLSA Comprehensive Cohort, main effects of age were observed for all cognitive measures, and main effects of language were observed for all measures except the CRT. Interaction effects (language × age) were observed for the MAT, MPMT Event-based score, all time scores on the Stroop Test, and most COWAT scores. Main effects of education were observed for all measures except for the MPMT Time score in the French sample, and interaction effects (age × education) were observed for the RAVLT (immediate and delayed) for the English sample and the Stroop Dot time for the French sample. Conclusion: This examination of the cognitive measures used in the CLSA Comprehensive Cohort lends support to their use in large studies of health and aging. We propose further exploration of the cognitive measures within the CLSA to make this information relevant to and available for clinical practice.
Autocorrelation function of the soft X-ray background produced by warm-hot gas in dark halos

description: We calculate the angular two-point autocorrelation function (ACF) of the soft X-ray background (SXRB) produced by the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) associated with dark halos, motivated primarily by searching for missing baryons and distinguishing different physical processes of the WHIM in dark halos. We employ a purely analytic model for the halo population which is completely determined by the universal density profile and the Press-Schechter mass function. We then adopt a phenomenological approach to nongravitational processes of the WHIM such as preheating and radiative cooling. It shows that the power spectra of the SXRB predicted by three WHIM models, namely, the self-similar model, preheating model and cooling model demonstrate remarkably different signatures in both amplitude and shape, with the peak locations moving from 4X10^4 for the self-similar model to a smaller value of (3-5)X10^3 when nongravitational processes are taken into account. The corresponding ACFs for preheating and cooling models become shallower too as compared with the prediction of the self-similar model. This may permit an effective probe of the physical processes of the WHIM in massive halos in conjunction with the observationally determined power spectrum or ACF of the SXRB from diffuse WHIM. However, a direct comparison of our theoretical predictions with existing data (e.g. the ACF determined from ROSAT observations) is still difficult because of the dominant contribution of AGNs in the soft X-ray sky. We discuss briefly the implication of our results for resolving the missing baryon problem in the local universe.

description: An XMM-Newton imaging spectroscopy analysis of the galaxy cluster A1644 is presented. A1644 is a complex merging system consisting of a main and a sub cluster. A trail of cool, metal-rich gas has been discovered close to the sub cluster. The combination of results from X-ray, optical, and radio data, and a comparison to a hydrodynamical simulation suggest that the sub cluster has passed by the main cluster off-axis and a fraction of its gas has been stripped off during this process. Furthermore, for this merging system, simple effects are illustrated which can affect the use of clusters as cosmological probes. Specifically, double clusters may affect estimates of the cluster number density when treated as a single system. Mergers, as well as cool cores, can alter the X-ray luminosity and temperature measured for clusters, causing these values to differ from those expected in equilibrium.

We examine the fluctuations around Dp-brane solutions in the matrix theory and show that they correctly reproduce fields on the Dp-brane world-volume. Plugging them into the action of the matrix theory, we precisely obtain the Dp-brane action as the effective action of the fluctuations.

description: We present a new and homogeneous set of explosive yields for masses 13, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35 Msun and metallicities Z=0, 10^{- 6}, 10^{- 4}, 10^{- 3}, 6x10^{- 3}, 2x10^{-2}. A wide network extending up to Mo has been used in all the computation. We show that at low metallicities (Z<10^{- 4}) the final yields do not depend significantly on the initial chemical composition of the models so that a scaled solar distribution may be safely assumed at all metallicities. Moreover, no elements above Zn are produced by any mass in the grid up to a metallicity ~10^{-3}. These yields are available for any choice of the mass cut upon request.

description: The USDA seven states Cattle on Feed report provides significant market information to all stages of the cattle industry. Considerable effort has been spent both by public agencies and private industry to improve on the accuracy and timing of this information. Because this information has an impact on the market, many efforts have been made to forecast it prior to its release. A key question is if a more comprehensive data set were available, could more accurate forecasts of the information in the USDA report be completed in a timely manner. This effort uses traditional time series forecasting methods to examine models using both public and private information to forecast monthly fed cattle marketings. The public information model uses data for current and past releases of the USDA seven state Cattle on Feed report. The private information model consists of daily pen level transactions for over eighty-five feedlots covering eight states. Based on physical data in the private data set describing animal placement weight and date, the expected slaughter dates of current cattle inventories are forecasted and used to project future slaughter. This projected slaughter data is then used to forecast information in the USDA report beyond the current report. Preliminary results indicate that the public model augmented with private data provides marginally improved marketing forecasts for the current period.

We measured optical inhomogeneous lines of 27 GHz, and optical homogeneous linewidths of 108 kHz and 315 kHz in particles of 400 nm and 150 nm average diameters respectively for the 1D2(0)--> 3H4(0) transition at 1.4 K. Furthermore, ground state and 1D2 excited state hyperfine structures in Y2O3 are here for the first time determined by spectral hole burning and modeled by complete Hamiltonian calculations. Ground-state spin transitions have energies of 5.99 MHz and 10.42 MHz for which we demonstrate spin inhomogeneous linewidths of 42 and 45 kHz respectively. Spin T2 up to 880 microseconds was obtained for the +-3/2-->+-5/2 transition at 10.42 MHz, a value which exceeds that of bulk Pr3+ doped crystals so far reported. These promising results confirm nanoscale Pr3+:Y2O3 as a very appealing candidate to integrate quantum devices. In particular, we discuss here the possibility of using this material for realizing spin photon interfaces emitting indistinguishable single photons.

description: How does subatomic matter organize itself? Neutron stars are cosmic laboratories uniquely poised to answer this fundamental question that lies at the heart of nuclear science. Newly commissioned rare isotope facilities, telescopes operating across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and ever more sensitive gravitational wave detectors will probe the properties of neutron-rich matter with unprecedented precision over an enormous range of densities. Yet, a coordinated effort between observation, experiment, and theoretical research is of paramount importance for realizing the full potential of these investments. Theoretical nuclear physics provides valuable insights into the properties of neutron-rich matter in regimes that are not presently accessible to experiment or observation. In particular, nuclear density functional theory is likely the only tractable framework that can bridge the entire nuclear landscape by connecting finite nuclei to neutron stars. This compelling connection is the main scope of the present review.

description: The USDA’s Economic Research Service (ERS) farm typology was originally developed to classify farms into relatively homogeneous groups based on their gross farm sales, the primary occupation of their operators, and whether the farms are family farms. Nearly 15 years have passed since ERS first released its farm typology; in this report, we update it to reflect commodity price inflation and the shift of production to larger farms. We also make a technical change, switching the measure of farm size from gross farm sales to gross cash farm income (GCFI), the total revenue received by a farm business in a given year. After the price adjustment, small farms are defined as those with GCFI less than $350,000, up from the original $250,000 cutoff. To adjust for the upward shift in production, two groups are added to the typology for farms with GCFI of $1 million or more, and a midsize group is added for farms with GCFI between $350,000 and $999,999.

description: Recently it has been suggested that the complicated temperature dependence of the extraordinary Hall effect (EHE) in the itinerant ferromagnet SrRuO3 could be explained by the Berry phase effect in the crystal momentum space. We test this model by measurements of EHE as a function of an applied magnetic field at a constant temperature and show that the results seem to contradict the Berry phase mechanism.

description: We present R-band CCD photometry for 1332 early-type galaxies, observed as part of the ENEAR survey of peculiar motions using early-type galaxies in the nearby Universe. Circular apertures are used to trace the surface brightness profiles, which are then fit by a two-component bulge-disk model. From the fits we obtain the structural parameters required to estimate galaxy distances using the D_n-sigma and Fundamental Plane relations. We find that about 12% of the galaxies are well represented by a pure r^{1/4} law while 87% are best fit by a two component model. There are 356 repeated observations of 257 galaxies obtained during different runs that are used to derive statistical corrections and bring the data to a common system. We also use these repeated observations to estimate our internal errors. The accuracy of our measurements are tested by the comparison of 354 galaxies in common with other authors. Typical errors in our measurements are 0.011 dex for log{D_n}, 0.064 dex for log{r_e}, 0.086 mag arcsec^{-2} for and 0.09 for m_{R_C}, comparable to those estimated by other authors. The photometric data reported here represent one of the largest high-quality and uniform all-sky samples currently available for early-type galaxies in the nearby universe, especially suitable for peculiar motion studies.

description: In the late stages of stellar core-collapse, prior to core bounce, electron captures on medium-heavy nuclei drive deleptonization and simulations require the use of accurate reaction rates. Nuclei with neutron number near $N=50$, just above atomic number $Z=28$, play an important role, but rates used in astrophysical simulations rely primarily on a relatively simple single-state approximation. In order to improve the accuracy of astrophysical simulations, experimental data are needed to test the electron-capture rates and to guide the development of better theoretical models. This work presents the results of the $^{86}$Kr($t$,$^{3}$He+$γ$) experiment at the NSCL, from which an upper limit for the Gamow-Teller strength up to an excitation energy in $^{86}$Br of 5 MeV is extracted. The derived upper limit for the electron-capture rate on $^{86}$Kr indicates that the rate estimated through the single-state approximation is too high and that rates based on Gamow-Teller strengths estimated in shell-model and QRPA calculations are more accurate. The QRPA calculations tested in this manner were used for estimating the electron capture rates for 78 isotopes near $N=50$ and above $Z=28$. The impact of using these new electron-capture rates in simulations of supernovae instead of the rates based on the single-state approximation is investigated, indicating a significant reduction in the deleptonization that affects multi-messenger signals, such as the emission of neutrinos and gravitational waves.

description: We present a comprehensive study of the effectiveness of Convolution Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect long duration transient gravitational-wave signals lasting $O(hours-days)$ from isolated neutron stars. We determine that CNNs are robust towards signal morphologies that differ from the training set, and they do not require many training injections/data to guarantee good detection efficiency and low false alarm probability. In fact, we only need to train one CNN on signal/noise maps in a single 150 Hz band; afterwards, the CNN can distinguish signals/noise well in any band, though with different efficiencies and false alarm probabilities due to the non-stationary noise in LIGO/Virgo. We demonstrate that we can control the false alarm probability for the CNNs by selecting the optimal threshold on the outputs of the CNN, which appears to be frequency dependent. Finally we compare the detection efficiencies of the networks to a well-established algorithm, the Generalized FrequencyHough (GFH), which maps curves in the time/frequency plane to lines in a plane that relates to the initial frequency/spindown of the source. The networks have similar sensitivities to the GFH but are orders of magnitude faster to run and can detect signals to which the GFH is blind. Using the results of our analysis, we propose strategies to apply CNNs to a real search using LIGO/Virgo data to overcome the obstacles that we would encounter, such as a finite amount of training data. We then use our networks and strategies to run a real search for a remnant of GW170817, making this the first time ever that a machine learning method has been applied to search for a gravitational wave signal from an isolated neutron star.
