Obscured AGN: the hidden side of the X-ray Universe

description: Most Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are `obscured', i.e. the nucleus is hiding behind a screen of absorbing material. The advantage of having the nucleus obscured is to make easier the observations of those emission components which originate in circumnuclear matter outside the absorbing regions, because in this case they are not outshined by the nuclear emission. This is particularly important in X-rays, where spatial resolution is (with the notable exception of Chandra) poorer than in the optical, and the study of circumnuclear regions is often based on spectral analysis only. The properties of circumnuclear matter, in the light of recent high spectral and/or angular resolution $Chandra$ and XMM--Newton observations, will be reviewed in Sec.2. In Sec.3 we will discuss obscured AGN in the framework of the Unification Model. Recent discoveries of X-ray obscured Seyfert 1, and of X-ray loud but optically normal galaxies, are calling for a revision of the Unification Model. Obscured AGN have also a cosmological relevance. Not only are they a fundamental ingredient of synthesis models of the Cosmic X-ray Background (XRB), but provide a link between the XRB and the Cosmic Infrared Background, as briefly discussed in Sec.4.

Micromechanics of high pressure compaction in granular quartz aggregates

description: The mechanical behaviour of porous sandstones is generally modelled using concepts from granular mechanics, often overlooking the effect of cementation. To probe the key differences between sand and sandstone mechanics, we performed triaxial deformation experiments on Ottawa quartz sand at $5-40$ MPa effective confining pressure. At $5$ MPa, the samples are able to dilate. At higher confinement, the aggregates show continuous compaction, displaying strain hardening. The stress-strain behaviour is non-linear and the exact onset of inelastic compaction could not be determined accurately. Measured P-wave velocities show the development of anisotropy. With increasing axial strain, the along-axis velocities tend to increase, while velocities perpendicular to the compression axis tend to decrease (at low pressure) or remain constant (at high pressure). In samples deformed under elevated pressure conditions, acoustic emission event locations are diffuse. Microstructural investigations show an increase in grain chipping and crushing with increasing confining pressure, but no evidence of localised compaction could be observed. The nature of the pore-fluid, either decane or water, does not significantly influence the mechanical behaviour at strain rates of $10^{-6}$ to $10^{-4}$ $s^{-1}$. Grain angularity and grain-size distribution also did not significantly change the mechanical behaviour. We infer that our observations indicate that the lack of cementation introduces additional degrees of freedom for grains to slide, rotate, and reorganise at the sample-scale, precluding the existence and sustainability of stress concentrations beyond the grain-scale. This results in progressive compaction and hardening, and lack of compaction localisation.

description: The mutual information of two random variables i and j with joint probabilities t_ij is commonly used in learning Bayesian nets as well as in many other fields. The chances t_ij are usually estimated by the empirical sampling frequency n_ij/n leading to a point estimate I(n_ij/n) for the mutual information. To answer questions like "is I(n_ij/n) consistent with zero?" or "what is the probability that the true mutual information is much larger than the point estimate?" one has to go beyond the point estimate. In the Bayesian framework one can answer these questions by utilizing a (second order) prior distribution p(t) comprising prior information about t. From the prior p(t) one can compute the posterior p(t|n), from which the distribution p(I|n) of the mutual information can be calculated. We derive reliable and quickly computable approximations for p(I|n). We concentrate on the mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis, and non-informative priors. For the mean we also give an exact expression. Numerical issues and the range of validity are discussed.

description: In an attempt to study asymptotically plane wave spacetimes which admit an event horizon, we find solutions to vacuum Einstein's equations in arbitrary dimension which have a globally null Killing field and rotational symmetry. We show that while such solutions can be deformed to include ones which are asymptotically plane wave, they do not posses a regular event horizon. If we allow for additional matter, such as in supergravity theories, we show that it is possible to have extremal solutions with globally null Killing field, a regular horizon, and which, in addition, are asymptotically plane wave. In particular, we deform the extremal M2-brane solution in 11-dimensional supergravity so that it behaves asymptotically as a 10-dimensional vacuum plane wave times a real line.

description: Objective: To evaluate longitudinal changes of angiogenic biomarkers in early- (EO-PD) versus late-onset (LO-PD) placental dysfunction. Methods: Serum PlGF and sFlt-1 measured at different intervals in EO-PD (n= 43), LO-PD (n= 31) and controls (n = 133). Results: sFlt-1/PlGF ratio was higher at 16 weeks (30.6 vs 17.5), 20 weeks (29.3 vs 8.9) and 30 weeks (16.6 vs 6.7) in EO-PD vs controls (all p< 0.05), but not in LO-PD. Longitudinal changes for all intervals had higher AUC than single measurements. Conclusion: Longitudinal biomarker change between 12 and 30 weeks could improve prediction of EO-PD compared to single measurements.

description: Fluorescence is a powerful mean to probe information processing in the mammalian brain. However, neuronal tissues are highly heterogeneous and thus opaque to light. A wide set of non-invasive or invasive techniques for scattered light rejection, optical sectioning or localized excitation, have been developed, but non-invasive optical recording of activity through highly scattering layer beyond the ballistic regime is to date impossible. Here, we show that functional signals from fluorescent time-varying sources located below an highly scattering tissue can be retrieved efficiently, by exploiting matrix factorization algorithms to demix this information from low contrast fluorescence speckle patterns.

description: This study examined the influence of students ‘goal characterization on their goal-formation processes, as characterized by their goal-classification, the systemic consideration of their activity-strategies and decision-outcomes when preparing for an examination. Using the Structural Equation Modeling approach, a functional analysis underlined by systemic principles was conducted. Firstly, the issue of whether the influence of students’ considerations of activity strategies on their decision outcomes is truly moderated by their activity goal formations, if they set highest-goals, is determined. Secondly, the issue of whether the influence of students’ considerations of activity strategies on their decision outcomes is truly mediated by their activity goal formations, if they set best-goals, is also determined. Based on the findings, the conscious goal-directed processes associated to the emergence of an individual’s thoughtfully mastered learning activity and its consequence on future design of systemic structural activity of individuals will be established.

description: The effect of irrigators' associations on the productivity of rice farming is examined, using data obtained from two irrigation systems in the Philippines, one with an irrigators' association and the other without. The estimation of the production function confirms that the irrigators' association is not effective in reducing inequitable water distribution among the different locations in the system, and fails to demonstrate that it provides any significant advantages over the system with no irrigators' association in terms of productivity. However, we found that the mean level of farmers' technical efficiency is higher and the variation in farmers' technical efficiency is smaller in the system with the irrigators' association than in the system without an irrigators' association, suggesting that the irrigators' association is effective in ensuring the efficient and equitable distribution of water among farmers within each location in the system.

description: The purpose of this study is to provide a statistical framework for analyzing the operation of farm-based accommodations (farm-inn). A primary data sample of 386 farm-inn operators located all over Japan was analyzed by an ordered probit model. A variety of sample characteristics, such as the number of years in operation, the number of guestrooms, and the type of accommodation, affected their evaluation of farm-based visitor activities and/or the future prospects of each respondent's own farm-inn business. Operators' attitudes toward better management such as a positive attitude toward host-guest interactions and a greater number of repeat visitors also affected their responses. These results contribute to not only the exploration of a useful tool for tourism research based on a questionnaire survey but also the debate among policy makers' decisions about incorporating the promotion of farm tourism into agro-environmental policy.
Topology and Cache Coherence in Knights Landing and Skylake Xeon Processors

Publisher: name: The University of Texas at Austin
Year: 2018
Subjects: Microprocessors

description: Intel's second-generation Xeon Phi (Knights Landing) and Xeon Scalable Processor ("Skylake Xeon") are both based on a new 2-D mesh architecture with significant changes to the cache coherence protocol. This talk will review some of the most important new features of the coherence protocol (such as "snoop filters", "memory directories", and non-inclusive L3 caches) from a performance analysis perspective. For both of these processor families, the mapping from user-visible information (such as core numbers) to spatial location on the mesh is both undocumented and obscured by low-level renumbering. A methodology is presented that uses microbenchmarks and performance counters to invert this renumbering. This allows the display of spatially relevant performance counter data (such as mesh traffic) in a topologically accurate two-dimensional view. Applying these visualizations to simple benchmark results provides immediate intuitive insights into the flow of data in these systems, and reveals ways in which the new cache coherence protocols modify these flows.

description: The Crystal Ball ($CB$) collaboration at $BNL$ has recently presented results regarding a study of the $π^- A \to π^0π^0 A^\prime$ reaction on $H, D, C, Al$ and $Cu$, using a nearly 4$π$ detector. Similar results, but for the $π^+ A \to π^+π^{\pm} A^\prime$ reaction on $^{2}H$, $^{12}C$, $^{40}Ca$, and $^{208}Pb$, have been published earlier by the $CHAOS$ collaboration at $TRIUMF$. In this Brief Report a comparison of the results of the two measurements is made, which shows that the $CHAOS$ and $CB$ data share relevant common features. In particular, the increase in strength as a function of A seen in the near-threshold $π^+ π^-$ invariant mass spectra reported by the $CHAOS$ group, is also seen in the $π^0 π^0$ CB data, when the results from the two groups are compared in a way which accounts for the different acceptances of the two experiments.

description: Sodium nitrite is a potent oxidizer, which may precipitate rapidly lethal methemoglobinemia. Prompt diagnosis and treatment may salvage otherwise fatal cases. It is unclear if emergency departments are prepared for increasing cases. We describe the availability and geographic distribution of real-time methemoglobin testing and methylthioninium chloride (methylene blue) availability in three contiguous United States. This is a cross-sectional survey of hospitals served by a regional poison center in the Upper Midwestern United States. Hospitals were identified by cross-referencing poison center, health department, and state trauma databases. We queried methemoglobin testing capabilities of each site as well as immediate methylthioninium chloride availability. Resulting data are described with descriptive statistics, and predictors of testing and treatment availability are evaluated in multivariable logistic regression. We identified 320 hospitals with emergency care, analyzing 228 (71.3%) after exclusions. Real-time methemoglobin testing was available at 56 sites (30.6% of 183 respondents). Of hospitals describing methylthioninium chloride availability, 59.4% (130/219) reported having it on-site. A significant difference in real-time methemoglobin testing existed across largest and smallest population strata in adjusted analysis (OR: 64.6: 95% CI: 4.1–1,037). Similarly disparate availability of methylthioninium chloride was observed. Spatial distribution of methemoglobin testing and methylthioninium chloride availability demonstrated notable urban-rural disparities. These data demonstrate a wide disparity in the availability of real-time methemoglobin testing and methylthioninium chloride availability, suggesting that the region is ill-prepared to care for severe methemoglobinemia. Our analysis points to a disconnect between our current poison center recommendations and the capacities of our consulting institutions. We demonstrate urban-rural disparities in diagnostic and therapeutic capacity for the management of acute methemoglobinemia in this region, as well as significant geographic variations in methylthioninium chloride stocking and poisoning preparedness. Poison centers must therefore maintain an awareness of antidote availability for this emerging toxicological emergency.
From deformed Hartree-Fock to the nucleon-pair approximation

description: The nucleon-pair approximation (NPA) can be a compact alternative to full configuration-interaction (FCI) diagonalization in nuclear shell-model spaces, but selecting good pairs is a long-standing problem. While seniority-based pairs work well for near-spherical nuclides, they do not work well for deformed nuclides with strong rotational bands. We propose an alternate approach. We show how one can write any Slater determinant for an even number of particles as a general pair condensate, from which one can project out pairs of good angular momentum. We implement this by generating unconstrained Hartree-Fock states in a shell model basis and extracting $S$, $D$, and $G$ pairs. The subsequent NPA calculations yield good agreement with FCI results using the same effective interactions.

description: Collision cross sections and rate constants between two ground- state oxygen molecules are investigated theoretically at translational energies below $\sim 1$K and in zero magnetic field. We present calculations for elastic and spin- changing inelastic collision rates for different isotopic combinations of oxygen atoms as a prelude to understanding their collisional stability in ultracold magnetic traps. A numerical analysis has been made in the framework of a rigid- rotor model that accounts fully for the singlet, triplet, and quintet potential energy surfaces in this system. The results offer insights into the effectiveness of evaporative cooling and the properties of molecular Bose- Einstein condensates, as well as estimates of collisional lifetimes in magnetic traps. Specifically, $^{17}O_{2}$ looks like a good candidate for ultracold studies, while $^{16}O_{2}$ is unlikely to survive evaporative cooling. Since $^{17}O_{2}$ is representative of a wide class of molecules that are paramagnetic in their ground state we conclude that many molecules can be successfully magnetically trapped at ultralow temperatures.

description: Using detailed household data from two Cambodian villages, this paper explores the cause of increasing landholding inequality in Cambodia. Through the investigation of data on land and credit markets as well are econometric analysis of land purchase and sales, this paper elucidates reasons why land as sold by smaller landholders to larger landholders. First, because the price of land is higher than the net present value of agricultural profit based on interest rate as the discount rate, buying land with loans is unprofitable. Therefore, larger landholders, who are supposed to have a larger amount of their own funds, were the major land buyers. Second, because the interest rate is higher than the rate of return from land, coping with shocks by borrowing money is more costly than selling land. Consequently, small landholders, who are supposed to lack savings to draw on, are more likely than large landholders to sell land to cope with shocks. The high land price and high interest rate are caused by credit market imperfection, which is manifested as the gap between interest rate and the opportunity cost of capital or the rate of return from land.

description: In order to reallocate farmland to efficient farmers, improvement in Farmland Rental Transactions (FRT) cooperating with public investment, Paddy-field Consolidation (PC) projects, is one of the most important policy issues in Asian monsoon regions as well as in Japan. Unfortunately, there are few empirical studies on FRT due to a lack of flexible data under regulated markets. This study aims to analyze FRT and to evaluate the effect of PC projects by modeling both supply and demand sides of farmland renting with micro-data from a discrete choice type questionnaire. Empirical results show that (i) effects of PC project appear as a remarkable increase in the rental rate and a moderate increase in the rental agreement level, (ii) there is an economic inefficiency in the Japanese rental market, but such an inefficiency can be reduced by PC project implementation, and (iii) regional differences in project effects are caused by differences in agricultural and social situations.

description: To implement a distributed shared last-level cache, addresses must be distributed across the set of cache "slices" in a way that maintains an acceptable degree of uniformity for many common access patterns. This presentation reviews the properties of the address hashes used in Intel Xeon Phi x200 and Intel Xeon Scalable Processors as determined by microbenchmark experimentation. Several cases of conflicts are discussed, along with possible workarounds.

description: We consider the magnetic helicity balance for the galactic dynamo in the framework of the local dynamo problem, as well as in the no-z model (which includes explicitly the radial distribution of the magnetic fields). When calculating the magnetic helicity balance we take into account the redistribution of the small-scale and large-scale magnetic fields between the magnetic helicities, as well as magnetic helicity transport and diffusion due to small-scale turbulence. We demonstrate that the magnetic helicity flux through the galactic disc boundaries leads to a steady-state magnetic field with magnetic energy comparable to the equipartition energy of the turbulent motions of the interstellar medium. If such flux is ignored, the steady-state magnetic field is found to be much smaller than the equipartition field. The total magnetic helicity flux through the boundaries consists of both an advective flux and a diffusive flux. The exact ratio of these contributions seems not to be crucial for determining the strength of the steady-state magnetic field and its structure. However at least some diffusive contribution is needed to smooth the magnetic helicity profile near to the disc boundaries. The roles of various transport coefficients for magnetic helicity are investigated, and the values which lead to magnetic field configurations comparable with those observed are determined.

description: Unintentional therapeutic errors with bupropion are common. The impact of the timing of the second dose in a double dose exposure on adverse effects is not well studied. This study aims to compare adverse effects between double doses separated by <720 min and ≥720 min. This was a retrospective cohort study of unintentional double dose bupropion ingestions in patients reported to a regional poison center between January 2018 and December 2022. Patients were included if the double dose was their own medication, unintentional, and a single substance exposure. Data collected included age, gender, bupropion formulation, prescribed home dose, dosing error details, time between doses, caller site, referral to the emergency department, patient observation at healthcare facilities, clinical effects, and outcome. Among 663 cases screened, 294 met inclusion criteria. The majority involved extended-release preparations (69.0%). Seventy-four were observed in a healthcare facility and monitored for 24 h from initial dose. The incidence of seizures was 5.3%, including one case not observed for a full 24 h. There was no significant difference in the incidence of seizures (2.7% versus 7.7%), tachycardia (27.0% versus 30.8%), hypertension (18.9% versus 38.5%) other signs/symptoms (27.0% versus 23.1%), or any signs/symptoms (48.6% versus 61.5%) between double doses of extended release bupropion separated by <720 min and those separated by ≥720 min, respectively. In patients with double dose exposures to extended-release bupropion, it does not appear that the timing of the second dose can be used to risk-stratify patients. Our data are limited by sample size. In this study, the time between double doses of bupropion did not affect the incidence of seizure, tachycardia, hypertension, other signs/symptoms, or any signs/symptoms. Larger, prospective studies investigating this difference would strengthen our understanding and management of these patients.

description: The sugar market in Brazil is closely related to the ethanol market. Although the Brazilian government has abolished all sugar market intervention measures, it still retains control over the ethanol-gasoline blend ratio. In this study, we investigate the implications of a change in this blend ratio on the world ethanol and sugar markets－particularly in terms of production, consumption, exports and imports－by applying a newly developed World Ethanol-Sugar Market Model. Our simulation suggests moderate impacts on world ethanol and sugar markets.

description: Lead-free Ba0.85Ca0.15Zr0.10Ti0.90O3 (BCZT) ceramic exhibits excellent dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties at the Morphotropic Phase Boundary (MPB). Previously, we demonstrated that the use of the anionic surfactant Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS, NaC12H25SO4) could enhance the dielectric properties of BCZT ceramic using surfactant-assisted solvothermal processing [1]. In the present study, structural, dielectric, ferroelectric properties, as well as electrocaloric effect and energy storage performances of this BCZT ceramic were thoroughly investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements revealed the presence of single perovskite phase at room temperature with the coexistence of orthorhombic and tetragonal symmetries. In-situ Raman spectroscopy results confirmed the existence of all phase transitions from rhombohedral through orthorhombic and tetragonal to cubic symmetries when the temperature varies as reported in undoped-BaTiO3. Evolution of energy storage performances with temperature have been investigated. BCZT ceramic exhibits a high energy storage efficiency of ~80% at 120 °C. In addition, the electrocaloric responsivity was found to be 0.164.10-6 K.m/V at 360 K.

description: Objective: A favorable dietary composition to increase health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in PCOS remains unclear. We compared changes in HRQoL of women with PCOS who participated in a low-glycemic-index pulse-based (lentils, beans, split peas, and chickpeas) or the Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet intervention. Methods: Thirty women in the pulse-based and 31 in the TLC groups (18–35 years) completed a 16-week intervention without energy-restriction. Groups participated in health counseling (monthly) and aerobic exercise (5 days/week; 45 minutes/day). Results: Fifty-five (90.2%) women completed a PCOS-specific HRQoL survey. Greatest mean increases in time-effects occurred in the domains of healthy eating, PCOS knowledge, active living, healthcare satisfaction, feelings and experiences about intervention, and health concerns, respectively (p ≤ 0.02), without group-by-time interactions (p ≥ 0.13). Decreased weight (r = −0.35) and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (r = −0.18) correlated with increased scores of PCOS knowledge; adherence to intervention correlated with increased scores of active living (r = 0.39) and healthy eating (r = 0.53; p ≤ 0.03). Conclusions: Both interventions improved HRQoL scores in women with PCOS without prescribed energy-restriction. Our observations add novel insights into current evidence and elucidate the need for future psychological research to target lifestyle modifications for improving HRQoL and unique psychological complications of PCOS in this high-risk population (CinicalTrials.gov identifier:NCT01288638).

description: Concrete computing machines, either sequential or concurrent, rely on an intimate relation between computation and time. We recall the general characteristic properties of physical time and of present realizations of computing systems. We emphasize the role of computing interferences, i.e. the necessity to avoid them in order to give a causal implementation to logical operations. We compare synchronous and asynchronous systems, and make a brief survey of some methods used to deal with computing interferences. Using a graphic representation, we show that synchronous and asynchronous circuits reflect the same opposition as the Newtonian and relativistic causal structures for physical space-time.

description: In recent years ageism has received increase international attention. In 2016 the UN dedicated the International Day of Older Persons to the fight against ageism and the World Heath Organization launched a campaign to combat ageism. This growing interest is also illustrated by the establishment of the UN Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing, and the related work on a UN convention on the rights of older persons, which, among other things, aims to provide better protection against discrimination. The ongoing discussions about a convention is accompanied by tensions between views assuming an older persons’ specific convention may reproduce age-related group differences and could perpetuate ageism, and those who argue that it will help reducing it. This article critically reflects on these discussions and some aspects of a potential convention that could provide basis for ageism critique. We refer to central sociological and legal arguments of the debate around ageism and age-based distinctions, which show clear intersections, e.g. the legal discussion one the justifiability of the general use of "age limits" and the socio-scientific debate on the relationship between age categorization and ageism. These intersections serve as central starting point for the question whether and to what extent age group differentiation and targeted human rights protection may (re-)produce ageism. Finally, we argue in favor of re-framing the debate about a convention on the rights of older persons towards a more universalist approach, which addresses possible age inequalities and critically reflects on the connection between chronological age and targeted human rights provisions.

description: In this paper, we investigate the influence of coherent pion emission on long-range azimuthal correlations in relativistic proton-proton collisions. We study the pion momentum distribution for a coherent source with both transverse and Bjorken longitudinal expansions, and calculate the two-particle correlation function $C(Δη,Δϕ)$. A "ridge" structure is observed in the correlation function $C(Δη,Δϕ)$ of the coherent pion emission, whether the coherent source is expanding or static. The onset of this long-range azimuthal correlation can be traced back to the asymmetric initial transverse profile of the coherent source, owing to the interference in coherent emission. We further construct a partially coherent pion-emitting source by incorporating a chaotic emission component. From the experimental data of the two-pion Hanbury-Brown-Twiss correlations in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s}\!=\!7\,$TeV, we extract a coherent fraction of pion emission, which increases with increasing charged-particle multiplicity, as an input of the partially coherent source model. The ridge structure is observed in the correlation function $C(Δη,Δϕ)$ for the partially coherent source. The correlation becomes stronger at higher multiplicities because of the larger degrees of coherence. The results in this work are meaningful for fully understanding the collectivity in the small system of pp collisions.

description: This study examines the causality between total factor productivity (TFP) and capital investment in Japanese agriculture for the period 1957-97. We employ the Granger causality test to determine the causality between the two variables. This study also investigates movements in total output, total input and TFP for average farms of four size classes for the same period. We employ the aggregation technique to estimate total output and total input and use a large pooled cross-section and time series data set. It has been found that both TFP and capital investment had a fairly high growth rate from the mid 1950s to the early 1970s, and thereafter it started declining. The result of this study shows that there is a significant and positive bi-directional Granger-causal relationship between TFP and capital investment in Japanese agriculture over the long term.
