description: The article analyses the impact of the sanctions of civilized countries on the Russian economy. Particular attention is paid to sectoral sanctions on the markets of oil and oil products, in the banking and financial sectors, as well as on the market of transport services. The authors analysed the prospects for expanding sanctions on the oil market for Russia in the context of setting a maximum price for the export of Russian oil by the main buyers. Conclusions are drawn not only about the impact of sanctions on Russian oil production, but also about a possible decrease in prices for oil and other energy resources in the region. The authors positively assessed the US and EU anti-Russian sanctions in the financial sector. The impact of sanctions on the Russian banking system, insurance, and stock markets was studied. Particular attention was paid to the impact of disconnecting the banking system of the Russian Federation from the international payment system SWIFT. The authors also focused on the gradual division of the Russian economy under the influence of sanctions and trends in the energy market into the energy sector and the rest. It was found that the most affected by the sanctions were air transportation, mechanical engineering, and ferrous metallurgy sectors. Conclusions are drawn about the need to continue sanctions pressure on the Russian economy. High energy prices during the 200 days of the war with Ukraine allowed the Russian Federation to subsidize economic sectors that suffered from the war at the expense of the energy sector. A market reduction of the oil prices or their correction with the help of the sanctions policy should cause significant and irreversible damage to the Russian economy.

description: Soil water erosion is a major phenomenon that threatens almost all watersheds in the Mediterranean area, nowadays. The worsening of this phenomenon in Algeria affects soil capacity to ensure its ecological functions and socio-economic purposes which depend on it. Concurrently, the storage capacity of Algeria dams has considerably decreased as a result of excessive silting. The above issue motivated this study, which aims to establish mechanisms for prioritizing to improve the economic efficiency of agricultural land and the long-term viability of dams in the largest metropolitan basin of Algeria ‘Coastal Algiers 2a basin’. This basin, which is urbanized over 50% of its area, contains six large dams with a total capacity of 540 Million m3 and one of the most important agricultural zones in Algeria. Common decision support frameworks have been implemented to predict the areas that are potentially exposed to erosion and sediment deposition threatening the dam capacity using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) and the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). To achieve this, rainfall, climatic, hydrometric, land use, soil, digital elevation, and satellite data were used by the two spatially soil loss models. The results show a dependency between the two statistical models with respect to low, medium and high erosion risk areas and its evolution from the eastern to the western region of the watershed. Regarding the deposition of sediments at the dams, the two models only partially explain the rate of sediments observed at the level of the dams’ basins whose relative errors exceed 4%, 8%, 60%, 30% and 40% respectively for the Meurad, Bouroumi, Keddara, Boukerdane and El Hamiz dams. The canonical analysis (CC) revealed that the average slope, vegetation cover and the available water capacity in the soil of the basin are the most important parameters influencing the soil loss provided by the two models.

description: I present a short overview of the Inside-Out Planet Formation (IOPF) model (Chatterjee & Tan 2014, ApJ, 780, 53) for sequential in situ formation of the Kepler-discovered super-Earth population of close-in multi-planet systems at the pressure trap associated with a retreating dead zone inner boundary. I then discuss latest work exploring theoretical aspects of the model, including calculations of the structure of the inner disk, simulations of the gap opening process leading to pebble isolation and capture of H/He atmospheres. I end with a summary of observational tests of this planet formation model.

description: The existence of a die-out threshold (different from the classic disease-invasion one) defining a region of slow extinction of an epidemic has been proved elsewhere for susceptible-aware-infectious-susceptible models without awareness decay, through bifurcation analysis. By means of an equivalent mean-field model defined on regular random networks, we interpret the dynamics of the system in this region and prove that the existence of bifurcation for this second epidemic threshold crucially depends on the absence of awareness decay. We show that the continuum of equilibria that characterizes the slow die-out dynamics collapses into a unique equilibrium when a constant rate of awareness decay is assumed, no matter how small, and that the resulting bifurcation from the disease-free equilibrium is equivalent to that of standard epidemic models. We illustrate these findings with continuous-time stochastic simulations on regular random networks with different degrees. Finally, the behaviour of solutions with and without decay in awareness is compared around the second epidemic threshold for a small rate of awareness decay.
title: Leben am Eisernen Vorhang
Creators: name: Lindau, Georg

description: Im Jahre 1989 wurde der Eiserne Vorhang an der österreichisch-ungarischen Grenze abgebaut. Hier genauso wie im Rest Europas fielen nach und nach die technischen Grenzanlagen welche die Systemgrenze zwischen Kapitalismus und Kommunismus darstellten. Oftmals wird diese Grenze als Tote Grenze bezeichnet beziehungsweise wahrgenommen. Doch war sie dies wirklich? Anhand von Oral History Interviews, mit der burgenländischen Grenzbevölkerung, soll in dieser Arbeit die Erinnerungen an den Eisernen Vorhang entlang der österreichisch-ungarischen Grenze untersucht werden. Wie wurde die Grenze wahrgenommen? Wie hat der Eiserne Vorhang das Leben beeinflusst? Wie erinnert man sich an die Grenzanlagen? Neben der Analyse der Interviews ist die Hintergrundgeschichte des Eisernen Vorhang an der österreichisch- ungarischen Grenze genauso wichtig zu betrachten wie die Entstehung der Burgenländischen Grenze selbst. Die Umstände der Endgültigen Grenzziehung im Jahre 1923 sind nach wie vor fester Bestandteil des burgenländischen Kollektiven Gedächtnisses. Von dem Zerfall der Doppelmonarchie über die Friedensverträge von Paris bis zu der Abstimmung in Sopron (Ödenburg) gab es viele Entscheidungen, welche die Grenzziehung beeinflussten. Und genauso gab es auch danach in der burgenländischen Grenzgeschichte Punkte, welche die Grenzbevölkerung prägten und sich in den Erinnerungen widerspiegeln. Besonders die Entwicklung und Veränderung der Burgenländischen Grenze in der Zeit des Eisernen Vorhanges von 1948-1989 dürfen dabei nicht außer Acht gelassen werden aber auch die Weltpolitischen Umstände welche dazu führten. Der theoretische Teil welcher diese Arbeit umrahmt gibt einerseits Auskunft über die verwendete oral History Methodik als auch eine Erklärung des Begriffes Grenze.

description: In a recent article, one of the authors used $c=0$ logarithmic conformal field theory to predict crossing-probability formulas for percolation clusters inside a hexagon with free boundary conditions. In this article, we verify these predictions with high-precision computer simulations. Our simulations generate percolation-cluster perimeters with hull walks on a triangular lattice inside a hexagon. Each sample comprises two hull walks, and the order in which these walks strike the bottom and upper left/right sides of the hexagon determines the crossing configuration of the percolation sample. We compare our numerical results with the predicted crossing probabilities, finding excellent agreement.

Empirical diagnostics of protoplanetary disc winds

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: Disc winds play an important role in the evolution of protoplanetary systems, with photoevaporative winds in particular thought to be responsible for gas disc dispersal at late times. We present a new study of the observable diagnostics of these disc winds. We use both semi-analytic and numerical hydrodynamic models of disc winds, and compute observables such as free-free and forbidden line emission. We focus in particular on spatially-resolved observations (radio interferometry and optical/IR spectro-astrometry), and show how these techniques may allow us to measure disc mass-loss rates empirically. When combined with new observations (particularly from the VLT), these new diagnostics will allow us to build up a complete picture of how disc winds shape the evolution of planet-forming discs.

description: We propose a framework for generating a signal control policy for a traffic network of signalized intersections to accomplish control objectives expressible using linear temporal logic. By applying techniques from model checking and formal methods, we obtain a correct-by-construction controller that is guaranteed to satisfy complex specifications. To apply these tools, we identify and exploit structural properties particular to traffic networks that allow for efficient computation of a finite state abstraction. In particular, traffic networks exhibit a componentwise monotonicity property which allows reach set computations that scale linearly with the dimension of the continuous state space.

description: Bakery products are very important in human nutrition and are the basis of any daily diet. Their social significance is determined by the traditions and habits of the population of the countries, accessibility for all groups of the population, diverse assortment, including bakery products for functional and specialized purposes. The up-to-date trend is to expand the assortment of functional bakery products, the use of which will provide the body’s need for the necessary macro- and micronutrients for an active and healthy lifestyle. In the bread and bakery products market, consumer preferences are constantly changing. Consumers prefer products that contain less fat and sugar. The market is in demand for bakery products that are healthy, while taste remains an important success factor. Manufacturers include popular healthy additives (grains, seeds and legumes) in their products. Particularly popular at present are ingredients from Eastern Europe and Asia: yuzu, sesame, matcha, shiso. Tropical fruits (passion fruit, mango, bergamot) and fragrances (dried hibiscus, lavender and rose) are predicted to become popular. This causes the complexity of demand segmentation, features of merchandising and pricing policy, features of consumer behavior and consumption psychology, etc. An assessment is given of the dynamics of production and consumption of bread and exports of products, and a forecast is made for the development of the world market for bread and bakery products. The results of the analysis are necessary to assess the level of food safety and to develop a strategy that takes into account the current trends in the global bread and bakery products market. Prospective trends for sustainable production of frozen bakery products have been developed.

description: Evolutionary medicine, which blends principles from evolutionary biology and medicine, is poised to offer fresh solutions to several of today’s major public health issues. In their Frontiers in Science article, Natterson-Horowitz et al. shed new light on current health challenges—ranging from the COVID-19 pandemic to obesity and its associated comorbidities—through the lens of evolutionary principles (1). Despite its potential, evolutionary medicine is still in its infancy, and, with a few notable exceptions (2, 3, 4), its tenets have yet to find their way into mainstream medical practice and health policy. Why has it been so hard for evolutionary medicine to move from “bench to bedside”? Crespi and Hochberg, in their Viewpoint articles, argue that clinicians, policymakers, and the broader public remain relatively unfamiliar with evolutionary biology (5, 6). Evolutionary principles are not, for example, traditionally included in medical school curricula. Yet, repairing this knowledge deficit by providing education in evolutionary principles will be insufficient if those learnings are not put into practice—and practice is where the major obstacles lie. As I see it, there are three main challenges to overcome before treatments based on the precepts of evolutionary medicine can be successfully integrated into standard healthcare practices and policy development For the full content Please click here
Observing asymmetric structures in protoplanetary disks with MATISSE
Creators: name: Brunngraeber, Robert
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: We present a quantitative analysis of the potential capabilities of detecting local brightness asymmetries in circumstellar disks with the VLTI in the MIR wavelength range. To evaluate planet formation theories, direct observations of protoplanets still embedded in their host disk are indispensable. Due to the small angular separation from their host star, only long-baseline interferometry provides the angular resolution to detect disk asymmetries caused by protoplanets at (sub-)au scales. In particular, infrared observations are crucial to observe scattered stellar radiation and thermal re-emission in the vicinity of these planets directly. For this purpose, we performed mock observations with MATISSE in the L, M and N bands, based on radiative transfer simulations of protoplanetary disks hosting embedded companions. We find that the flux ratio of the embedded source to the central star can be as low as 0.6 % for a detection at a feasible significance level due to the heated dust in the vicinity of the embedded source. Furthermore, we find that the likelihood for detection is highest for sources at intermediate distances (2--5 au) and disk masses not higher than about 1e-4 M_sun.

description: The spin-charge-family theory, in which spinors carry besides the Dirac spin also the second kind of the Clifford object, no charges, is a kind of the Kaluza-Klein theories. The Dirac spinors of one Weyl representation in $d=(13+1)$ manifest in $d=(3+1)$ at low energies all the properties of quarks and leptons assumed by the standard model. The second kind of spins explains the origin of families. Spinors interact with the vielbeins and the two kinds of the spin connection fields, the gauge fields of the two kinds of the Clifford objects, which manifest in $d=(3+1)$ besides the gravity and the known gauge vector fields also several scalar gauge fields. Scalars with the space index $s\in (7,8)$ carry the weak charge and the hyper charge ($\mp \frac{1}{2}, \pm \frac{1}{2}$, respectively), explaining the origin of the Higgs and the Yukawa couplings. It is demonstrated in this paper that the scalar fields with the space index $t\in (9,10,\dots,14)$ carry the triplet colour charges, causing transitions of antileptons and antiquarks into quarks and back, enabling the appearance and the decay of baryons. These scalar fields are offering in the presence of the right handed neutrino condensate, which breaks the ${\cal C}{\cal P}$ symmetry, the answer to the question about the matter-antimatter asymmetry.

description: N,N′-disubstituted indigos are photoswitchable molecules that have recently caught the attention due to their addressability by red-light. When alkyl and aryl groups are utilized as the N-substituents, the thermal half-lives of Z isomers can be tuned independently while maintaining the advantageous red-shifted absorption spectra. To utilize these molecules in real-world applications, it is of immense importance to understand how their molecular structures as well as the environment influence their switching properties. To this end, we probed their photoisomerization mechanism by carrying out photophysical and computational studies in solvents of different polarities. The fluorescence and transient absorption experiments suggest for more polar excited and transition states, which explains the bathochromic shifts of absorption spectra and shorter thermal half-lives. On the other hand, the quantum chemical calculations reveal that in contrast to N-carbonyl groups, N-alkyl and N-aryl substituents are not strongly conjugated with the indigo chromophore and can thus serve as a tool for tuning the thermal stability of Z isomers. Both approaches are combined to provide in-depth understandings of how indigos undergo photoswitching as well as how they are influenced by N-substituent and the chemical surroundings. These mechanistic insights will serve as guiding principles for designing molecules eyeing broader applications.

description: We experimentally demonstrate the inductive readout of optically hyperpolarized phosphorus-31 donor nuclear spins in an isotopically enriched silicon-28 crystal. The concentration of phosphorus donors in the crystal was 1.5 x 10$^{15}$ cm$^{-3}$, three orders of magnitude lower than has previously been detected via direct inductive detection. The signal-to-noise ratio measured in a single free induction decay from a 1 cm$^3$ sample ($\approx 10^{15}$ spins) was 113. By transferring the sample to an X-band ESR spectrometer, we were able to obtain a lower bound for the nuclear spin polarization at 1.7 K of 64 %. The $^{31}$P-T$_{2}$ measured with a Hahn echo sequence was 420 ms at 1.7 K, which was extended to 1.2 s with a Carr Purcell cycle. The T$_1$ of the $^{31}$P nuclear spins at 1.7 K is extremely long and could not be determined, as no decay was observed even on a timescale of 4.5 hours. Optical excitation was performed with a 1047 nm laser, which provided above bandgap excitation of the silicon. The build-up of the hyperpolarization at 4.2 K followed a single exponential with a characteristic time of 577 s, while the build-up at 1.7 K showed bi-exponential behavior with characteristic time constants of 578 s and 5670 s.

Tracing the gas surface density profile the inner disk of transition disks with VLT/CRIRES
Creators: name: Carmona, Andres
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: To derive the surface density inside the dust cavities of transition disks is paramount to understand their origin. We performed deep observations of CO emission at 4.7 micron of the transition disks HD 139614 and HD 169142 with VLT/CRIRES. We detect 12CO, 13CO, and C18O emission in the sources. We model the CO isotopologues emission-line profiles, spectroastrometry signature, and rotational diagrams with a grid of flat Keplerian disks in LTE. We find 12CO gas emission inside the dust cavity (R=6au for HD 139614, R=20 au for HD 169142) down to a radius of 0.5 - 1 au. We find strong evidence for gas density drops inside the dust cavities, however, we dont find evidence for gas gaps larger than 3 au in the disk. Our models suggest NH column densities inside the dust cavity of 5x10^19-10^21 cm^-2 (10^-4 - 2x10^-3 g cm^-2) assuming a NCO/NH = 10^-4. These column densities are lower than the extrapolated gas surface density from the outer disk and are hard to reconcile with the accretion rates measured for the objects (10^-8 and 10^-9 Msun/yr for HD 139614, HD 169142 respectively). Gas density drops and no gas gaps are consitent with the pressence of a <2MJ embedded giant planet.

description: The history of adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), adrenomyeloneuropathy (AMN) and other peroxisomal diseases is exemplary for the stunning progress of scientific medicine within the past 50 years. Like many breakthroughs in medicine, the detailed analysis of patients’ pathologically affected tissues was instrumental, resulting in step-wise systematic clarification of what had remained enigmatic until the 1970s. This flashback paper is a recollection of the first neuropathological description of a slowly evolving clinical phenotype, spastic paraparesis with adrenal insufficiency, in a young adult by Budka et al. 1976 [3], using virtual microscopy of the original histologic slides. The clinico-pathological presentation derives from the classical cerebral ALD phenotype in boys, where electron microscopy demonstrated the underlying pathological hallmark of characteristic lipid inclusions shared by both phenotypes. Our report allowed the delineation of a new disease type almost simultaneously described in more cases as AMN by Griffin et al. 1977 [4] and Schaumburg et al. 1977 [11]. Moreover, our report indicated clinical heterogeneity in the ALD disease group that, as shown later, extends further to females, to Addison-only, and even to asymptomatic subjects. The gene underlying ALD was discovered in 1993 as a defect in the ABCD1 gene. Yet, it has hitherto remained unclear how the gene defect causes the strikingly broad and unpredictable phenotypic spectrum of ALD/AMN.

As the state evolves from an initial product state, it gets asymptotically maximally entangled. We define irreversibility as the failure of searching for a disentangling circuit using a Metropolis-like algorithm. We show that irreversibility corresponds to Wigner-Dyson statistics in the level spacing of the entanglement eigenvalues, and that this is obtained from a quantum circuit made from a set of universal gates for quantum computation. If, on the other hand, the system is evolved with a non-universal set of gates, the statistics of the entanglement level spacing deviates from Wigner-Dyson and the disentangling algorithm succeeds. These results open a new way to characterize irreversibility in quantum systems.

title: Römischer Wachturm und mittelalterliche Wallfahrtskirche
Creators: name: Gerstenbauer, Lisa-Maria
Year: 2022

description: Im Zentrum der vorliegenden Arbeit steht die Baugeschichte der Filialkirche St. Johann im Mauerthale. Sie befindet sich in der Wachau am südlichen Donauufer auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Rossatz-Arnsdorf (KG: Oberarnsdorf). Die genordete Kirche besteht aus einem Saalbau mit polygonalem Presbyterium und einem Turm im Süden sowie kleineren Anbauten im Osten. Die Baugeschichte der Kirche geht bis in spätantike Zeit zurück, da an der Südseite ein römischer Wachturm des Donaulimes in den hochmittelalterlichen Sakralbau integriert wurde. Aus hochmittelalterlicher Zeit haben sich im Inneren der Kirche Wandmalereien erhalten, die in die Zeit um 1240 datiert werden. Im Zeitraum zwischen 1320 und 1340 erfuhr der Bau eine Erweiterung Richtung Norden (Chorbau), die wohl mit der großen Verehrung des Hl. Albinus, dessen Hochgrab sich bis 1862 im Langhaus der Kirche befand, in Verbindung stand. Die barocke Bautätigkeit beschränkte sich auf kleinere Umbauten sowie Anbauten im Osten. Im Anschluss an die detaillierte Klärung der Baugenese anhand diverser Methoden der historischen Bauforschung werden besonders interessante Aspekte des Kirchenbaues herausgegriffen und vertiefend behandelt werden. Unter anderem wurden die bekannten antiken Wachtürme insbesondere im Bereich der heutigen Wachau näher betrachtet und dem Phänomen mittelalterlicher Nachnutzung römischer Bausubstanz nachgegangen. Weitere Kapitel behandeln die romanischen Wandmalereien an der Westwand des Kircheninneren, die ungewöhnliche Ausrichtung des Kirchenbaus Richtung Norden sowie die Verehrung des nicht kanonisierten „heiligen“ Albinus in St. Johann.
The circumbinary spiral arms of L1551 IRS 5: a new discovery with ALMA

description: Most solar-type stars are created in multiple star systems. One of the effects of how the presence of a companion star influences the circumstellar environment is the formation of circumbinary disks surrounding circumstellar disks. Planetary formation in these systems is affected by the influence the multiple components have over the gas and dust. For example, the two stars truncate each other's disks inhibiting the formation of planets. On the other hand, circumbinary disks can feed material into the circumstellar disks and enhance planetary formation. L1551 IRS 5 is an interesting target to study the effects of multiplicity over dust and gas dynamics. The system is composed by a circumbinary disk surrounding two circumstellar disks, each surrounding a low mass star. Here we present ALMA observations of the 1.3 mm continuum at 20 au resolution in which we resolve both circumstellar disks and, for the first time, resolve structural details in the circumbinary disk. The circumbinary disk has a radius of ~100 au and it is composed of three spiral arms: two spiral arms to the south and one spiral arm to the north, which appears to be connected to the northern circumstellar disk.

description: In this paper, we continue our study of closed models defined in categories of graphs. We construct a closed model defined in the cat-egory of directed graphs which characterizes the strongly connected components. This last notion has many applications, and it plays an important role in the web search algorithm of Brin and Page, the foun-dation of the search engine Google. We also show that for this closed model, Euler graphs are particular examples of cofibrant objects. This enables us to interpret in this setting the classical result of Euler which states that a directed graph is Euleurian if and only if the in degree and the out degree of every of its nodes are equal. We also provide a cohomological proof of this last result.

description: 1. Jacquemontia anomala O’Donell Lilloa 23: 460 (1950). — Type: Paraguay, “ In regione fluminis Alto Parana ”, X.1909, K. Fiebrig 6278 (holo-, GH [GH00054630] photo!; iso-, BM [BM000089502]!, K [K000613023]!, LIL [LIL001301]!, SI [SI001302] photo!, US [US00111297] photo!). DISTRIBUTION. — Known only from Paraguay and known only from its type-material. O’Donell (1950a) mentioned that there was a paratypus in SI and LIL herbaria, but he failed to cite the material and it has not been located so far. Among the species studied here, this is the only one that has not been recorded from Brazil. REMARKS Distinguished by its herbaceous habit with scandent stems, narrowly elliptical leaves with simple trichomes that are thickened at base mixed with forked trichomes, and monochasial inflorescences, J. anomala is difficult to distinguish from J. guaranitica, differing only in the type of indumentum and bracteole size. The fact that J. anomala is known through a single collection makes it difficult to ascertain whether it represents a variant of J. guaranitica with longer bracteoles and without stellate trichomes on its stems.

description: We study the bandwidth and multiplexing capacity of an erbium-doped optical memory for quantum storage purposes. We concentrate on the protocol ROSE (Revival of a Silenced Echo) because it has the largest potential multiplexing capacity. Our analysis is applicable to other protocols that involve strong optical excitation. We show that the memory performance is limited by instantaneous spectral diffusion and we describe how this effect can be minimised to achieve optimal performance.
Spectro-Imaging the Bipolar Jet from DO Tau
Creators: name: Erkal, Jessica
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: The aim of our study is to investigate T Tauri jet kinematics, shock morphology and plasma parameters to further constrain models of jet launching. Observations were conducted using GEMINI/NIFS+AO to obtain H-band IFU data. This is the first time the DO Tau bipolar jet has been imaged at such high angular resolution close to the star. The brighter blue-shifted jet is detected as close as 0.1" from the star and extends to 1.2", while the counter-jet appears only at 1.0" extending to 1.5". Morphology of the blue-shifted jet reveals a 0.1" variation in its axis centroid at distances beyond 0.6", which could result from jet wiggling, or the presence of a knot or bow-shock. No variation is measured closer to the jet base. The morphology reveals a difference in position angle of the jet and counter-jet. Jet kinematics show jet velocities in line with the literature. We search for variations in radial velocity across the jet, which may signal jet rotation. The DO Tau disk rotation sense was studied using complementary Plateau de Bure data. We derive estimate electron density and mass flux from Fe II lines. Finally, we discuss the constraints brought by these data on jet launching models.
Azimuthal asymmetries and the emergence of "collectivity" from multi-particle correlations in high-energy pA collisions

description: We show how angular asymmetries $\sim\cos 2ϕ$ can arise in dipole scattering at high energies. We illustrate the effects due to anisotropic fluctuations of the saturation momentum of the target with a finite correlation length in the transverse impact parameter plane, i.e.\ from a domain-like structure. We compute the two-particle azimuthal cumulant in this model including both one-particle factorizable as well as genuine two-particle non-factorizable contributions to the two-particle cross section. We also compute the full BBGKY hierarchy for the four-particle azimuthal cumulant and find that only the fully factorizable contribution to $c_2\{4\}$ is negative while all contributions from genuine two, three and four-particle correlations are positive. Our results may provide some qualitative insight into the origin of azimuthal asymmetries in p+Pb collisions at the LHC which reveal a change of sign of $c_2\{4\}$ in high-multiplicity events.

Towards integrability for AdS3/CFT2

description: We review the recent progress towards applying worldsheet integrability techniques to the $AdS_3/CFT_2$ correspondence to find its all-loop S matrix and Bethe-Yang equations. We study in full detail the massive sector of $AdS_3\times S^3\times T^4$ superstrings supported by pure Ramond-Ramond (RR) fluxes. The extension of this machinery to accommodate massless modes, to the $AdS_3\times S^3\times S^3\times S^1$ pure-RR background and to backgrounds supported by mixed background fluxes is also reviewed. While the results discussed here were found elsewhere, our presentation sometimes deviates from the one found in the original literature in an effort to be pedagogical and self-contained.

description: There is no evidence from randomized trials to support a strategy of lowering systolic blood pressure below 135 to 140 mm Hg in persons with type 2 diabetes mellitus. We investigated whether therapy targeting normal systolic pressure (i.e., <120 mm Hg) reduces major cardiovascular events in participants with type 2 diabetes at high risk for cardiovascular events.

RW Auriga: Iron rich corona and high absorbing column density
Creators: name: Guenther, Hans Moritz
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2018

description: RW Aur A has undergone a visual dimming event in 2011 lasting about half a year and further dimming since 2014. We report on new Chandra X-ray data taken in 2017, when the optical flux was almost 2 mag below the long-term average. The observed X-ray spectrum is more absorbed by a column density of a few 10^23/cm^2 and shows significantly more hot plasma than in X-ray observations taken before the dimming. An emission feature at 6.62 keV indicates an Fe abundance an order of magnitude above Solar, in contrast with previous sub-Solar Fe abundance measurements. Given the high column density coupled with changes in the X-ray spectral shape, the absorber is probably located in the inner disk. We speculate that a break-up of planetesimals or a terrestrial planet could supply large grains. Some of these grains would be accreted and enrich the stellar corona with iron which could explain the inferred high abundance.
