description: In a three-part blog series, TECH4EFFECT examines some of the tools and results that were achieved across the project specifically aimed at reducing site impact. Part 1 highlights the importance of good planning to achieve sustainable management practices in a harvesting operation. It also briefly examines how online services to support requisitioning and marketing could be improved. Part 2 explains the TECH4EFFECT Depth-to-water maps which identify sensitive sites for environmental conservation. In the final, third blog, the T4E Mapping App is presented to demonstrate how ground surface modelling can be used in a practical harvesting operation.

description: The recent T2K and MINOS indications for a "large" theta_13 neutrino mixing angle can be accommodated in principle by an infinite number of Yukawa flavour structures in the seesaw model. Without considering any explicit flavour symmetry, there is an instructive exercise one can do: to determine the simplest flavour structures which can account for the data with a minimum number of parameters, simply assuming these parameters to be uncorrelated. This approach points towards a limited number of simple structures which show the minimum complexity a neutrino mass model must generally involve to account for the data. These basic structures essentially lead to only 4 relations between the neutrino observables. We emphasize that 2 of these relations, |sin theta_13|=(tan theta_23/cos delta)*(1-tan theta_12)/(1+tan theta_12) and |sin theta_13| = sin theta_12 R^1/4, with R= Delta m^2_21/Delta m^2_32, have several distinctive properties. First, they hold not only with a minimum number of parameters, but also for complete classes of more general models. Second, any value of theta_13 within the T2K and MINOS ranges can be obtained from these relations by taking into account small perturbations. Third, they turn out to be the pivot relations of models with approximate conservation of lepton number, which allow the seesaw interactions to induce observable flavour violating processes, such as mu -> e gamma and tau -> mu gamma. Finally, in specific cases of this kind, these structures have the rather unique property to allow a full reconstruction of the seesaw Lagrangian from low energy data.

description: Many works are attributed to artists after their death, even when someone else has contributed substantively to the content of the work or when the work left by the artist is deemed incomplete by any standard of completion. Call these works posthumous works. These cases give rise to several interesting and related questions about the ontology of artworks and authorship: If the works are incomplete when the first artist dies, then can someone else complete them, or do they remain forever unfinished? Are works that are altered after the artist's death new and distinct works? If they remain forever unfinished, then what is the unfinished works' relation to the putatively 'finished' work? If, on the other hand, they can be finished and are finished by someone other than the original artist (since the original artist is dead), then to whom to do we give credit: the deceased artist, the finishing artist, or both? Recent accounts of when an artwork is complete make posthumous works impossible. In this paper, we offer an explanation of how the unfinished work of the dead can be completed and why in these cases attributing the work to the dead is justified.

description: We make use of four galaxy catalogs based on four different semi-analytical models (SAMs) implemented in the Millennium simulation to study the environmental effects and the model dependence of galaxy merger rate. We begin the analyses by finding that galaxy merger rate in the SAMs has mild redshift evolution, consistent with results of previous works. To study the environmental dependence of galaxy merger rate, we adopt two estimators, the local overdensity (1+δn) defined as the surface density from the nth-nearest-neighbor (n = 6 is chosen in this study) and the host halo mass Mh. We find that galaxy merger rate Fmg shows strong dependence on the local overdensity (1+δn) and the dependence is similar at all redshifts. For the overdensity estimator, the merger rate Fmg is found about twenty times larger in the densest regions than in under-dense ones in two of the four models while it is roughly four times higher in the other two. In other words, the discrepancies of the merger rate difference between two extremes can differ by a factor of ~ five depending on the SAMs adopted. On the other hand for the halo mass estimator, Fmg does not monotonically increase with the host halo mass Mh, but peaks in the $M_h$ range between 10^12 and 10^13 h-1 MΘ, which corresponds to group environments. High merger rate in high local density regions corresponds primarily to the high merge rate in group environments......

The background from $τ^{+}τ^{-}$ events has been analysed. Selection criteria for background suppression are suggested and necessary requirements on the detector characteristics have been found. The CTF can successfully compete with the Super B-factory in a search for $τ\to μγ$ decay.

description: SETI@home, a search for signals from extraterrestrial intelligence, has been recording data at the Arecibo radio telescope since 1999. These data are sent via the Internet to the personal computers of volunteers who have donated their computers' idle time toward this search. To date, SETI@home volunteers have detected more than 4.2 billion potential signals. While essentially all of these potential signals are due to random noise processes, radio frequency interference (RFI), or interference processes in the SETI@home instrumentation, it is possible that a true extraterrestrial transmission exists within this database. Herein we describe the process of interference removal being implemented in the SETI@home post-processing pipeline, as well as those methods being used to identify candidates worthy of further investigation.

description: This paper studies the average and heterogeneous effects of railway access on parish-level population, income, and industrialization in Württemberg during the Industrial Revolution. We show that the growth-enhancing effect of the railway was much greater in parishes that were larger and more industrial at the outset. However, such early industrial parishes were rare in the relatively poor German state. This might explain why we find small average growth effects, which only increase at the end of the nineteenth century. Heterogeneity in the impact of the railway thus increased economic disparities within Württemberg and contributed to the state’s relatively sluggish growth.

description: The ability to accurately control a quantum system is a fundamental requirement in many areas of modern science such as quantum information processing and the coherent manipulation of molecular systems. It is usually necessary to realize these quantum manipulations in the shortest possible time in order to minimize decoherence, and with a large stability against fluctuations of the control parameters. While optimizing a protocol for speed leads to a natural lower bound in the form of the quantum speed limit rooted in the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, stability against parameter variations typically requires adiabatic following of the system. The ultimate goal in quantum control is to prepare a desired state with 100% fidelity. Here we experimentally implement optimal control schemes that achieve nearly perfect fidelity for a two-level quantum system realized with Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices. By suitably tailoring the time-dependence of the system's parameters, we transform an initial quantum state into a desired final state through a short-cut protocol reaching the maximum speed compatible with the laws of quantum mechanics. In the opposite limit we implement the recently proposed transitionless superadiabatic protocols, in which the system perfectly follows the instantaneous adiabatic ground state. We demonstrate that superadiabatic protocols are extremely robust against parameter variations, making them useful for practical applications.

description: This paper presents the results of a search for brown dwarfs in the Upper Scorpius Association using data from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Galactic Cluster Survey. Candidate young brown dwarfs were first chosen by their position in colour magnitude diagrams with further selection based on proper motions to ensure Upper Scorpius membership. Proper motions were derived by comparing UKIDSS and 2MASS data. Using that method we identify 19 new brown dwarfs in the southern part of the association. In addition there are up to 8 likely members with slightly higher dispersion velocity. The ratio of brown dwarfs to stars was found to be consistent with other areas in Upper Scorpius. It was also found to be similar to other results from young clusters with OB associations, and lower than those without, suggesting the brown dwarf formation rate may be a function of environment.

description: We study pinball billiard dynamics in an equilateral triangular table. In such dynamics, collisions with the walls are non-elastic: the outgoing angle with the normal vector to the boundary is a uniform factor $λ< 1$ smaller than the incoming angle. This leads to contraction in phase space for the discrete-time dynamics between consecutive collisions, and hence to attractors of zero Lebesgue measure, which are almost always fractal strange attractors with chaotic dynamics, due to the presence of an expansion mechanism. We study the structure of these strange attractors and their evolution as the contraction parameter $λ$ is varied. For $λ$ in the interval (0, 1/3), we prove rigorously that the attractor has the structure of a Cantor set times an interval, whereas for larger values of $λ$ the billiard dynamics gives rise to nonaccessible regions in phase space. For $λ$ close to 1, the attractor splits into three transitive components, the basins of attraction of which have fractal basin boundaries.

description: This report summarizes a subset of the reef fish and benthic survey data collected by the Coral Reef Ecosystem Division for Pacific RAMP and for compatible PMNM, NMFS and CRCP survey missions in 2012 and 2013. Over that time period, surveys were conducted in the following regions: the Pacific Remote Island Areas, American Samoa and the main Hawaiian Islands. The status of reefs in each region is first described in the wider Pacific context (Section: U.S. Pacific reefs: the status of reef fish) and then at the island scale for each of the regions (Section: Island status and trends). Given the substantial changes in methods and design, this report specifically focuses on examining the observations collected since 2009, which only includes the subset of Pacific RAMP data that were collected using the SPC method under the depth-stratified random sampling design. In the final section, the publications that were produced in 2012 and 2013 as a result of those surveys are listed; these publications either use the Pacific RAMP fish data or were coauthored by members of the CRED fish team and relevant to Pacific RAMP fish ecological monitoring work. All data used in this report along with other biological and climate monitoring data collected by CRED for Pacific RAMP are available upon request.

Attosecond control of electrons emitted from a nanoscale metal tip

description: Attosecond science is based on steering of electrons with the electric field of well-controlled femtosecond laser pulses. It has led to, for example, the generation of XUV light pulses with a duration in the sub-100-attosecond regime, to the measurement of intra-molecular dynamics by diffraction of an electron taken from the molecule under scrutiny, and to novel ultrafast electron holography. All these effects have been observed with atoms or molecules in the gas phase. Although predicted to occur, a strong light-phase sensitivity of electrons liberated by few-cycle laser pulses from solids has hitherto been elusive. Here we show a carrier-envelope (C-E) phase-dependent current modulation of up to 100% recorded in spectra of electrons laser-emitted from a nanometric tungsten tip. Controlled by the C-E phase, electrons originate from either one or two sub-500as long instances within the 6-fs laser pulse, leading to the presence or absence of spectral interference. We also show that coherent elastic re-scattering of liberated electrons takes place at the metal surface. Due to field enhancement at the tip, a simple laser oscillator suffices to reach the required peak electric field strengths, allowing attosecond science experiments to be performed at the 100-Megahertz repetition rate level and rendering complex amplified laser systems dispensable. Practically, this work represents a simple, exquisitely sensitive C-E phase sensor device, which can be shrunk in volume down to ~ 1cm3. The results indicate that the above-mentioned novel attosecond science techniques developed with and for atoms and molecules can also be employed with solids. In particular, we foresee sub-femtosecond (sub-) nanometre probing of (collective) electron dynamics, such as plasmon polaritons, in solid-state systems ranging in size from mesoscopic solids via clusters to single protruding atoms.

description: Right- and left-handed circularly polarized light interact differently with electronic charges in chiral materials. This asymmetry generates the natural circular dichroism and gyrotropy, also known as the optical activity. Here we demonstrate that optical activity is not a privilege of the electronic charge excitations but it can also emerge for the spin excitations in magnetic matter. The square-lattice antiferromagnet Ba$_2$CoGe$_2$O$_7$ offers an ideal arena to test this idea, since it can be transformed to a chiral form by application of external magnetic fields. As a direct proof of the field-induced chiral state, we observed large optical activity when the light is in resonance with spin excitations at sub-terahertz frequencies. In addition, we found that the magnetochiral effect, the absorption difference for the light beams propagating parallel and anti-parallel to the applied magnetic field, has an exceptionally large amplitude close to 100%. All these features are ascribed to the magnetoelectric nature of spin excitations as they interact both with the electric and magnetic components of light.

description: We give an argument that a broad class of geometric models of spinning relativistic particles with Casimir mass and spin being separately fixed parameters, have indeterminate worldline (while other spinning particles have definite worldline). This paradox suggests that for a consistent description of spinning particles something more general than a worldline concept should be used. As a particular case, we study at the Lagrangian level the Cauchy problem for a spinor particle and then, at the constrained Hamiltonian level, we generalize our result to other particles.

description:  La mesure empirique de l’impact causal de différents dispositifs spécifiques est un produit usuel des évaluations des politiques publiques. Cette mesure partielle doit ensuite être interprétée dans un cadre plus général. Pour opérer cette interprétation globale, il convient de synthétiser les résultats en un petit nombre d’indicateurs simples. En divisant le coût budgétaire estimé d’un dispositif donné par le nombre d’emplois créés causalement par ce dispositif, on calcule un « coût par emploi créé ». Il faut porter faire attention à ce type d’indicateur car il ne représente pas la valeur absolue que beaucoup lui prêtent. Toutefois, s’il ne dit pas tout ce que certains voudraient lui faire dire, il n’est pas vide de signification pour autant. Ainsi, pour la suite de cette note méthodologique, nous partons du principe que l’évaluation a été bien faite et discutons l’utilisation qui peut être faite d’un indicateur synthétique tiré d’elle : le coût par emploi créé. Pour ce faire nous étudions dans une première partie ses lacunes qualitatives, nous penchant d’abord sur la qualité du service rendu puis sur la qualité de l’emploi du point de vue du salarié, et terminons par expliciter l’intérêt informatif que garde l’indicateur de coût par emploi créé. Dans une seconde partie, nous nous intéressons à ses défauts quantitatifs, discutant d’une part les questions de bouclage macroéconomique et d’autre part l’existence d’interactions potentielles entre les politiques. Nous tirons de cela l’information quantitative utile qui reste synthétisée dans l’indicateur de coût par emploi créé et son utilisation potentielle. Nous concluons en globalisant le point de vue sur cet indicateur, prenant l’exemple de la création d’emploi public.

description: We automated a system for performing quantitative cellular assays using label-free Digital Holographic Microscopy (DHM) and validated its applicability for cell viability assays in a drug screening context 1-2. Our system allows performing fast and cost-effective screening assays for a wide range of chemical biology and drug discovery applications. In addition to classic phenotypes recordings related to morphological changes and cell movements, we have demonstrated that target-based cellular assays can also be addressed by DHM for therapeutically relevant chloride channel receptors 3. DH-imaging (DHI) technology, scalable for screening by imaging approaches in a high-throughput manner can also deliver highly informative data through long term experiments (time lapse). Examples of label free imaging screens we validated or currently under development will be described:

Development Of A High Throughput Acoustic Loading System For Massspectrometry
Creators: name: Wingfield, Jonathan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: In 2014, AstraZeneca and Labcyte started working on a project to build a high throughput acoustic loading system for mass spectrometry. The aim being to develop a system which could load samples at a rate in excess of 1 sample per second, this would generate ~3,600 data points per hour. There are several advantages of using acoustic loading. Non-contact dispensing significantly reduces cross contamination between samples, the sample volume required is significantly less than that required for traditional LCMS and the acoustics can fire at a rate faster than once per second.
The initial integration of the acoustic interface with a Waters SQDII demonstrated that it was possible to generate electrospray ions from a range of analytes (small molecules, peptides and proteins). Voltage switching enabled the platform to operate in both +ve and -ve ion modes. Integration of an X/Y plate stage into the prototype allowed the system to address standard 384 well plates. This system was able to fire samples into the detector at a rate of 3 per second (10,000/hour), processing a full 384 well plate in under 2 minutes.
A second prototype system was installed at the Alderley Park site at the end of 2014 with a Waters Xevo G2S ToF detector. Our aim for this system is to investigate a wide range of potential biomedical applications and identify where this technology could have impact within life sciences and drug discovery. Here we will report data from the continuing development of this platform.

description: The Bienenstock-Cooper-Munro (BCM) and Spike Timing-Dependent Plasticity (STDP) rules are two experimentally verified form of synaptic plasticity where the alteration of synaptic weight depends upon the rate and the timing of pre- and post-synaptic firing of action potentials, respectively. Previous studies have reported that under specific conditions, i.e. when a random train of Poissonian distributed spikes are used as inputs, and weight changes occur according to STDP, it has been shown that the BCM rule is an emergent property. Here, the applied STDP rule can be either classical pair-based STDP rule, or the more powerful triplet-based STDP rule. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of two distinct VLSI circuit implementations of STDP to examine whether BCM learning is an emergent property of STDP. These circuits are stimulated with random Poissonian spike trains. The first circuit implements the classical pair-based STDP, while the second circuit realizes a previously described triplet-based STDP rule. These two circuits are simulated using 0.35 um CMOS standard model in HSpice simulator. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed triplet-based STDP circuit significantly produces the threshold-based behaviour of the BCM. Also, the results testify to similar behaviour for the VLSI circuit for pair-based STDP in generating the BCM.

description: We calculate the set of O(alpha_s) corrections to the double differential decay width dGamma_77/(ds_1*ds_2) for the process B -> X_s gamma gamma originating from diagrams involving the electromagnetic dipole operator O_7. The kinematical variables s_1 and s_2 are defined as s_i=(p_b - q_i)^2/m_b^2, where p_b, q_1, q_2 are the momenta of b-quark and two photons. While the (renormalized) virtual corrections are worked exactly for a certain range of s_1 and s_2, we retain in the gluon bremsstrahlung process only the leading power w.r.t. the (normalized) hadronic mass s_3=(p_b-q_1-q_2)^2/m_b^2 in the underlying triple differential decay width dGamma_77/(ds_1*ds_2*ds_3). The double differential decay width, based on this approximation is free of infrared- and collinear singularities when combining virtual- and bremsstrahlung corrections. The corresponding results are obtained analytically. When retaining all powers in s_3, the sum of virtual- and bremstrahlung corrections contains uncanceled 1/epsilon singularities (which are due to collinear photon emission from the s-quark) and other concepts, which go beyond perturbation theory, like parton fragmentation functions of a quark or a gluon into a photon, are needed which is beyond the scope of our paper.

Subjects: Education

description: This study aims to understand immigrant teachers' professional adaptation experiences. Qualitative analysis of the data collected from a series of interviews with 10 Asian Australian immigrant teachers revealed that immigrant teachers' professional adaptation is underpinned by a sense of belonging to the school community, which is constructed from their professional identity, sense of vulnerability, and intercultural perspectives. The findings demonstrate that professional adaptation is a complex and multidimensional phenomenon. A more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the constructs that affect professional adaptation and their interactions can increase the momentum for structural changes to harness the diversity of the teaching workforce by mobilising the strength and talent of immigrant teachers.

description: We investigate the interacting agegraphic dark energy in Brans-Dicke theory and introduce a new series general forms of dark sector coupling. As examples, we select three cases involving a linear interaction form (Model I) and two nonlinear interaction form (Model II and Model III). Our conclusions show that the accelerated scaling attractor solutions do exist in these models. We also find that these interacting agegraphic dark energy modes are consistent with the observational data. The difference in these models is that nonlinear interaction forms give more approached evolution to the standard $Λ$CDM model than the linear one. Our work implies that the nonlinear interaction forms should be payed more attention.

description: Recurring urinary tract infections (rUTIs) are frequently caused by Escherichia coli, which invades urothelial cells and forms quiescent bacterial reservoirs. D-mannose, an inert monosaccharide, represents a notable agent for rUTI prevention; however, there is no agreement on its dosage. To provide pharmacological basis for an effective dose, we evaluated its ability to inhibit adhesion of E. coli to urothelial cells. E. coli strains isolated from the urine of a woman with recurrent urinary tract infections were selected according to adhesion capacity. Anti-adhesive efficacy and invasion were tested using the TCC-5637 urothelial cell line. The IC50 for the anti-adhesive efficacy and anti-invasion activity of D-mannose were 0.51 mg/ml and 0.30 mg/ml, respectively, both with concentration-dependent inhibition. Lastly, the biofilm interference of D-mannose was evaluated to be 50 mg/ml. D-mannose inhibited the adhesion of E. coli to urothelial cells at high concentrations, whereas inhibition of invasion occurred at much lower concentrations.

description: The focus toward specialized double cropping in the recent past and the resultant stagnant farm productivity, natural resource degradation, improper by-product recycling, and declining resource use efficiency warranted renewed efforts toward dairy-based integrated farming systems (IFS) approach. The small holder dairy-based integrated farming system (IFS) under present study resulted in production of 323% more wheat equivalent yield (27358 kg ha−1) and diverse provisioning services (grains, fruits, straw, green fodder, milk) as compared to groundnut–wheat double cropping system. The dairy-based IFS generated 82.7% more net return (2501 US$ ha−1year−1) with 1.52 benefit cost ratio, resulted in uniform distribution of income throughout the year (US$ 529 to 909 every month) and generated 251% more employment (418 man-days ha−1year−1) than double cropping. It provided regulating services in the form of improved soil fertility (19% more soil organic carbon), enhanced saturated infiltration capacity, higher carbon sequestration (552%) and was more dependent on indirect and renewable energy sources. The dairy-based IFS recorded more soil biodiversity (earthworm, fungal, and bacterial count) and better nutrient (100 Kg N, 45 Kg P, and 80 Kg K ha−1 year−1), and by-product recycling (20.4 tonnes farm yard manure and 1.98 tonnes farm-compost) vis-a-vis double cropping system (supporting services) besides providing many cultural services. The study concluded that systems transformation through greater crops-livestock integration provides number of provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural services, and leads to sustainable food systems.

description: Many of the high mass X-ray binaries (HMXRBs) discovered in recent years in our Galaxy are characterized by a high absorption, most likely intrinsic to the system, which hampers their detection at the softest X-ray energies. We have undertaken a search for highly-absorbed X-ray sources in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with a systematic analysis of 62 XMM-Newton SMC observations. We obtained a sample of 30 sources showing evidence for an equivalent hydrogen column density larger than 3x10^23 cm^-2. Five of these sources are clearly identified as HMXRBs: four were already known (including three X-ray pulsars) and one, XMM J005605.8-720012, reported here for the first time. For the latter, we present optical spectroscopy confirming the association with a Be star in the SMC. The other sources in our sample have optical counterparts fainter than magnitude ~16 in the V band, and many of them have possible NIR counterparts consistent with highly reddened early type stars in the SMC. While their number is broadly consistent with the expected population of background highly-absorbed active galactic nuclei, a few of them could be HMXRBs in which an early type companion is severely reddened by local material.
