description: Over the past decades, the Magpie, which has ecological and behavioral flexibility, has colonized many cities. In this study, we examine the effect of urban disturbance on nesting density of the Magpie and nest height in a city in the south-eastern Baltic region. The studies were carried out in Kaliningrad (54°43’N, 20°30’E) during the leafless period in 2018–2021 in green residential areas with a predominance of 5-storey buildings (“residential area”) and low-rise individual housing areas (“individual houses”). In the residential area, nest counts were carried out separately in the central part of the city and outside the city center. Based on literature data on urban populations of the Magpie in other cities, we predict that: (1) in the central part of the city there will be a higher nesting density of magpies and (2) in the central part of the city, nests will be located higher than outside the central part of the city. The results obtained did not confirm these assumptions. The average nesting density in residential areas in the city center and outside the city center was virtually the same. And, in addition, in the residential area in the city center, nests were on average located lower than in the residential area outside the central part of the city, but the differences were not statistically significant and the median values of these city zones coincide. The work also provides data on the placement of nests on various types of trees and shrubs. The Hooded crow, being the main predator and competitor of the Magpie, shares the same habitats in Kaliningrad. This coexistence could potentially slow down the increase in Magpie nesting density, especially in the residential area of the city centre, where the nesting density of the Hooded crow is significantly higher than outside the city centre.

description: Shear viscosity and wall slip of dense suspensions of a silicone polymer incorporated with polydisperse particles were investigated. Three types of particles with low aspect ratios were used to achieve a relatively high maximum packing fraction of 0.86. Such a high maximum packing fraction allowed the preparation of suspensions with a wide range of solid volume fractions in the range of 0.62 to 0.82. The wall slip velocities of the suspensions in steady torsional and capillary flows were characterized and determined to be fully consistent with the mechanism of apparent slip layer formation at the wall. Upon wall slip corrections it was found that at shear stresses which are significantly above the yield stress the relative shear viscosity of the suspensions obeys well the Krieger-Dougherty relationship that links the relative shear viscosity behavior of dense suspensions solely to the ratio of the volume fraction over the maximum packing fraction of solids. However, at lower shear stresses that are in the vicinity of the yield stresses the relative shear viscosity becomes functions of both the ratio of the volume fraction over the maximum packing fraction and the shear stress. It is clearly demonstrated that without wall slip analysis the accurate characterization of the relative shear viscosity of dense suspensions is not possible.

description: We conducted a laboratory based selection experiment with two allopatric populations of Drosophila ananassae collected from two isolated geographic regions of India, namely Mysuru and Port Blair. The populations were infected enterically with the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa for 55 generations followed by rearing for the next 10 generations under relaxed selection. We tested development of immune-competence of the selected flies through the generations and inquired if elicitation of immune responses were needed to pay cost by trading-off with life history and morphological traits and observed progressive increase in immune response in the selected flies, which also exhibited gradual increase in survival, reproductive life span, post-reproductive life span, developmental time, fecundity rate, fat content in contrast to body length and water content that exhibited longitudinal decrease. Under relaxed selection regime the traits showed reversion of the trend but not to the basal level. Responses exhibited by the selected flies from Port Blair and Mysuru differed, with the former group exhibiting more reduction in body length, more reduction in water content, greater antioxidant enzyme activity, longer post-infection period, greater survival than the later group. On the other side, Mysuru flies showed greater fat deposition, faster developmental time and longer oviposition time than Port Blair flies. Interestingly, Port Blair flies exhibited an increase in post-ovipository period, in contrast to Mysuru flies that showed a decrease for the same. We inferred that two allopatric populations of D. ananassae from the Indian sub-continent show different trade-off between evolving immune response and life history traits. Further, the outcome of our study leads us to a point of realization how allopatric populations of a given species respond differently under given selection pressure and gradually diverge from each other in nature to develop a species barrier.

description: Pharmacovigilance is in charge of studying the adverse effects of pharmaceutical products. In this field, pharmacovigilance specialists experience several difficulties when searching and exploring their patient data despite the existence of standardized terminologies (MedDRA).
In this paper, we present our approach to enhance the way pharmacovigilance specialists perform search and exploration on their data.
First, we have developed a knowledge graph that relies on the OntoADR ontology to semantically enrich the MedDRA terminology with SNOMED~CT concepts, and that includes anonymized patient data from FAERS.
Second, we have chosen and extended a semantic search tool, Sparklis, according to the user requirements that we have identified in pharmacovigilance.
We report the results of a usability evaluation that has been performed by human factors specialists to check the benefits of our proposal.

description: We present Hubble Space Telescope observations of the active asteroid (and Geminid stream parent) 3200 Phaethon when at its closest approach to Earth (separation 0.07 AU) in 2017 December. Images were recorded within $\sim$1\degr~of the orbital plane, providing extra sensitivity to low surface brightness caused by scattering from a large-particle trail. We placed an upper limit to the apparent surface brightness of such a trail at 27.2 magnitudes arcsecond$^{-2}$, corresponding to an in-plane optical depth $\le 3\times10^{-9}$. No co-moving sources brighter than absolute magnitude 26.3, corresponding to circular equivalent radius $\sim$12 m (albedo 0.12 assumed), were detected. Phaethon is too hot for near-surface ice to survive. We briefly consider the thermodynamic stability of deeply-buried ice, finding that its survival would require either a very small (regolith-like) thermal diffusivity ($< 10^{-8}$ m$^2$ s$^{-1}$), or the unexpectedly recent injection of Phaethon (timescale $\lesssim$ 10$^6$ yr) into its present orbit, or both.

description: We derive the vertices of five-meson and seven-meson anomaly processes from the four dimensional expansion form of Wess-Zumino term. Using these vertices we calculate the amplitude, both the finite part and divergent part, of {$K^+ K^- \rightarrow π^0 π^+ π^-$} to one loop and renormalize the lagrangian. The divergent part agrees with the result derived from path integral approach. Contribution from counter terms is estimated by using the vector meson dominance model. Test of the vertex in the $t$-channel of $K^- P\rightarrowΣ^0π^0π^+π^-$ near the threshold is discussed. We find that the amplitudes arising from chiral loop and counter terms are of opposite sign and the counter term amplitude is about twice the loop amplitude.

description: We report on a many-electron wavefunction theory study for the reaction energetics of hydrogen dissociation on the Si(100) surface. We demonstrate that quantum chemical wavefunction based methods using periodic boundary conditions can predict chemically accurate results for the activation barrier and the chemisorption energy in agreement with experimental findings. These highly accurate results for the reaction energetics enable a deeper understanding of the underlying physical mechanism and make it possible to benchmark widely used density functional theory methods.

Massive Higher-dimensional Gauge Fields as Messengers of Supersymmetry Breaking

description: We consider theories with one or more compact dimensions with size r > 1/M, where M is the fundamental Planck scale, with the visible and hidden sectors localized on spatially separated "3-branes." We show that a bulk U(1) gauge field spontaneously broken on the hidden-sector 3-brane is an attractive candidate for the messenger of supersymmetry breaking. In this scenario scalar mass-squared terms are proportional to U(1) charges, and therefore naturally conserve flavor. Arbitrary flavor violation at the Planck scale gives rise to exponentially suppressed flavor violation at low energies. Gaugino masses can be generated if the standard gauge fields propagate in the bulk; μand Bμterms can be generated by the Giudice-Masiero or by the VEV of a singlet in the visible sector. The latter case naturally solves the SUSY CP problem. Realistic phenomenology can be obtained either if all microscopic parameters are order one in units of M, or if the theory is strongly coupled at the scale M. (For the latter case, we estimate parameters by extending "naive dimensional analysis" to higher-dimension theories with branes.) In either case, the only unexplained hierarchy is the "large" size of the extra dimensions in fundamental units, which need only be an order of magnitude. All soft masses are naturally within an order of magnitude of m_{3/2}, and trilinear scalar couplings are negligible. Squark and slepton masses can naturally unify even in the absence of grand unification.

description: A nonminimally coupled hybrid dark energy model is introduced. The dark energy evolution is triggered by mass varying neutrinos. Quintessence evolution begins from an initial point, with an insignificant dark energy density, and arrives at a final de Sitter attractor. While initially, for a Higgs-like potential, the non-minimal coupling keeps the system in a state with negligible dark energy density, finally the second quintessence conducts the evolution to a stable fixed point. These evolutions occur through successive $Z_2$ symmetry breakings.

Heavy Flavor Azimuthal Correlations in Cold Nuclear Matter

description: Background: It has been proposed that the azimuthal distributions of heavy flavor quark-antiquark pairs may be modified in the medium of a heavy-ion collision. Purpose: This work tests this proposition through next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations of the azimuthal distribution, $dσ/dϕ$, including transverse momentum broadening, employing $$ and fragmentation in exclusive $Q \bar Q$ pair production. While these studies were done for $p+p$, $p + \bar p$ and $p+$Pb collisions, understanding azimuthal angle correlations between heavy quarks in these smaller, colder systems is important for their interpretation in heavy-ion collisions. Methods: First, single inclusive $p_T$ distributions calculated with the exclusive HVQMNR code are compared to those calculated in the fixed-order next-to-leading logarithm approach. Next the azimuthal distributions are calculated and sensitivities to $$, $p_T$ cut, and rapidity are studied at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV. Finally, calculations are compared to $Q \bar Q$ data in elementary $p+p$ and $p + \bar p$ collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 7$ TeV and 1.96 TeV as well as to the nuclear modification factor $R_{p {\rm Pb}}(p_T)$ in $p+$Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV measured by ALICE. Results: The low $p_T$ ($p_T < 10$ GeV) azimuthal distributions are very sensitive to the $k_T$ broadening and rather insensitive to the fragmentation function. The NLO contributions can result in an enhancement at $ϕ\sim 0$ absent any other effects. Agreement with the data was found to be good. Conclusions: The NLO calculations, assuming collinear factorization and introducing $k_T$ broadening, result in significant modifications of the azimuthal distribution at low $p_T$ which must be taken into account in calculations of these distributions in heavy-ion collisions.

description: We studied social decision-making in the rule-based improvisational dance There Might Be Others, where dancers make in-the-moment compositional choices. Rehearsals provided a natural test-bed with communication restricted to non-verbal cues. We observed a key artistic explore–exploit tension in which the dancers switched between exploitation of existing artistic opportunities and riskier exploration of new ones. We investigated how the rules influenced the dynamics using rehearsals together with a model generalized from evolutionary dynamics. We tuned the rules to heighten the tension and modelled nonlinear fitness and feedback dynamics for mutation rate to capture the observed temporal phasing of the dancers' exploration-versus-exploitation. Using bifurcation analysis, we identified key controls of the tension and showed how they could shape the decision-making dynamics of the model much like turning a ‘dial’ in the instructions to the dancers could shape the dance. The investigation became an integral part of the development of the dance.

description: (Abridged Abstract) A favored interpretation of recent microlensing measurements towards the Large Magellanic Cloud implies that a large fraction (i.e. 10--50%) of the mass of the galactic halo is composed of white dwarfs. We compare model white dwarf luminosity functions to the data from the observational surveys in order to determine a lower bound on the age of any substantial white dwarf halo population (and hence possibly on the age of the Universe). We compare various theoretical white dwarf luminosity functions, in which we vary hese three parameters, with the abovementioned survey results. From this comparison, we conclude that if white dwarfs do indeed constitute more than 10% of the local halo mass density, then the Universe must be at least 10 Gyr old for our most extreme allowed values of the parameters. When we use cooling curves that account for chemical fractionation and more likely values of the IMF and the bolometric correction, we find tighter limits: a white dwarf MACHO fraction of 10% (30%) requires a minimum age of 14 Gyr (15.5 Gyr). Our analysis also indicates that the halo white dwarfs almost certainly have helium-dominated atmospheres.

description: We study the source-subtracted near-infrared and X-ray background fluctuations of the COSMOS field using data from the Spitzer SPLASH program ($\sim$1272 hours) and Chandra COSMOS Legacy Survey (4.6 Ms). The new auto power spectra of the cosmic infrared and X-ray background fluctuations reach maximum angular scales of $\sim$ 3000$''$ and $\sim$ 5000$''$, respectively. We measure the cross power spectra between each infrared and X-ray band and calculate the mean power above 20$''$. We find that the soft X-ray band is correlated with 3.6 and 4.5$μ$m at $\sim$ 4 $σ$ significance level. The significance between hard X-ray and the 3.6$μ$m (4.5$μ$m) band is $\sim$2.2 $σ$ ($\sim$3.8$σ$). The combined infrared (3.6 + 4.5$μ$m) data are correlated with the X-ray data in soft ([0.5-2] keV), hard ([2-7] keV) and broad ([0.5-7] keV) bands at $\sim$5.6$σ$, $\sim$4.4$σ$ and $\sim$6.6$σ$ level, respectively. We compare the new measurements with existing models for the contributions from known populations at $z$$

description: Qatar's leadership established a vision with great determination and clear strategy to transform the economy towards a Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE). Over the past twenty years, Qatar Foundation (QF) has been at the forefront of ensuring science and research are essential to Qatar’s transformation into KBE. This research illustrates the top-down flow of KBE implementations in the State of Qatar and the effective role of the Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP), from the national public policies to the achieved results including the visions, missions and strategies of the integrated innovations and entrepreneurship echo system’s institutions and organizations. It analyzes the mapping between three bodies, the frameworks of KBE and Science and Technology Parks (STPs), the related public policies in Qatar with the elements of QF and QSTP; and the related global competitiveness, innovation and entrepreneurship indexes (GEI, GII and GCI). It also measures the performance of Qatar based these indexes, analyses the trends from the last decade and benchmarks Qatar against the globe and the GCC region. Furthermore, It identifies the main areas of strength and the areas for improvement.

description: Background: Women that previously had preterm labor are at an increased risk for heart disease. Because spontaneous preterm birth is an adverse pregnancy outcome that affects millions of children worldwide, our objective was to review and analyze studies that have examined associations between maternal total cholesterol (TC), LDL-C, and HDL-C concentrations during pregnancy and the risk of preterm birth to potentially define biomarkers or targets for treatment. Method: A search was performed and 22 articles were found that examined the association of maternal plasma cholesterol concentrations and preterm birth. A meta-analysis was performed on 10 of the articles, those that used maternal lipid concentrations as the outcome and presented results as means plus variables, and a qualitative review was performed on all 22 articles. Results: The meta-analysis showed no relationship between maternal TC, LDL-C, or HDL-C and increased risk of preterm birth, although, a near significant relationship between low maternal HDL-C concentration and preterm birth (p = .055). Importantly, associations increased when cholesterol concentrations were combined with inflammatory markers or metabolic syndrome factors. Conclusions: The relationship between maternal cholesterol levels and preterm birth is heterogeneous. Associations are strengthened when maternal cholesterol concentrations are combined with other factors that may be related to more recently defined lipoprotein functions.

The $B_K$ Parameter in the $1/N_c$ Expansion

Year: 1995

description: We calculate the $B_K$ parameter within the framework of the $1/N_c$ expansion. We essentially use the technique presented by Bardeen, Buras and Gérard but calculate an off-shell Green function in order to disentangle different contributions. We study this Green function in pure Chiral Perturbation Theory (CHPT) first and afterwards in the $1/N_c$ expansion in the presence of an explicit cut-off to determine $B_K$ and the counterterms appearing in CHPT. The high energy part is done using the renormalization group. For the low-energy contributions we use both CHPT and an Extended Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. This model has the right properties to match with the high energy QCD behaviour. We then study explicit chiral symmetry breaking effects by calculating with both massless and degenerate quarks together with the real case. A detailed analysis and comparison with the results found within other approaches is done. Consequences for present lattice calculations of this parameter are then obtained. As final result we get $0.60 < \hat B_K < 0.80$. If $m_s=m_d=0$ we get $0.25 < \hat B^χ_K < 0.55$.

description: Prenolepis (Nylanderia) Caeciliae Forel subsp. elevata n. subsp.
[[worker]] L. 2,6 a 2,8 mill. Un peu plus robuste que le type de l'espece, tete un peu plus large. Le thorax un peu plus robuste; le mesonotum a la meme forme retrecic, avec une depression dorsale, mais le retrecissement est un peu moins fort. Le metanotum par contre est plus eleve, aussi eleve que chez la Pr. Emmae, mais formant un profil plus conique, moins arrondi en haut, la face basale etant aussi inclinee devant que la face declive derriere. Sculpture, pilosite et pubescence comme chez le type de l'espece.
Noire ou d'un brun noiratre, antennes et mandibules brunatres. Mesonotum, mesopleure, tarses et articulations des pattes d'un rougeatre fonce ou d'un jaunatre un peu brunatre, selon les individus.
[[male]] L. 2,3 mill., tete presque aussi large que longue. Yeux assez petits. Couleur brun jaunatre sale. Les valvules genitales exterieures sont simples, en triangle allonge, et un peu arrondi au bout, comme chez la longicornis, mais encore un peu plus longues et plus etroites (bien plus courtes que chez l´ imparis nitens). Les valvules moyennes tiennent le milieu entre celles de l´ Ellisii et celles de la longicornis.

Cette sous espece ressemble a premiere vue par sa couleur noire et sa chitine luisante a la Braueri Donisthorpei, mais sa structure est tout autre. La forme tres speciale du metanotum exagere beaucoup celle du type de l'espece, dont sa couleur et sa taille plus robuste la distinguent encore. Mais elle sc rattache sans aucun doute a la Caeciliae, et M. Bingham l'a trouvee aussi distincte de la mexicana.

Aspects of Confinement and Screening in M theory

description: Confinement and Screening are investigated in SUSY gauge theories, realized by an M5 brane configuration, extending an approach applied previously to N=1 SYM theory, to other models. The electric flux tubes are identified as M2 branes ending on the M5 branes and the conserved charge they carry is identified as a topological property. The group of charges carried by the flux tubes is calculated and the results agree in all cases considered with the field theoretical expectations. In particular, whenever the dynamical matter is expected to screen the confining force, this is reproduced correctly in the M theory realization.

Estimates for the Luminosity Function of Galaxies and its Evolution
Creators: name: Springel, Volker
name: White, Simon D. M.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A new method is presented to obtain a non-parametric maximum likelihood estimate of the luminosity function and the selection function of a flux limited redshift survey. The method parameterizes the selection function as a series of step-wise power laws and allows possible evolution of the luminosity function. We also propose a new technique to estimate the rate of evolution of the luminosity function. This is based on a minimization of the observed large-scale power with respect to the evolutionary model. We use an ensemble of mock surveys extracted from a N-body simulation to verify the power of this method. We apply our estimators to the 1.2-Jy survey of IRAS galaxies. We find a far-infrared luminosity function in good agreement with previously published results and evidence for rather strong evolution. If the comoving number density of IRAS galaxies is assumed to scale proportional to (1+z)^P, we estimate P=4.3 +/- 1.4 +/-1.

description: This paper investigates mixing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with asphalt binder through a foaming process to produce high-performance warm mix asphalt (WMA). Two different solvents of ethanol and a water-based surfactant are used to disperse the multi-walled CNTs. Initial morphological assessment of the two CNT solutions showed that a more homogenous dispersion of the CNTs was achieved using the water surfactant solution. The foaming performance, thermal, and rheological properties of the foamed asphalt mixed with different percentages of CNTs are further investigated. The test results showed that a very small amount of CNTs (0.06% ∼ 0.1% in weight of the binder) can effectively enhance the foaming performance for bubble stability without tangibly increasing the rheological properties of the foamed asphalt. The specific heat capacity of the foamed samples was smaller than the neat binder, whereas the glass transition temperature of the foamed samples shifted to a lower temperature as compared to that of the neat binder. The thermal conductivity of the 6% CNTs sample (0.24% wt. in asphalt binder) was improved by two-fold compared with the foamed unmodified asphalt, which indicates the potential of using CNTs in the binder for enhancement of thermal properties in asphalt pavements.

[[worker]] L. 2,2 a 2,5 mill. Plus grele que la vividula. Mandibules etroites, armees de 6 petites dents inegales, assez luisantes, en partie finement striees. Epistome convexe, entier, sans carene. Aire frontale au moins deux fois plus large que longue, legerement echancree derriere, a cotes mediocrement convexes. Yeux plutot grands, situes un peu en avant du milieu des cotes. Les scapes depassent le bord occipital de plus des 2 / 5, mais de moins de la moitie de leur longueur. Promesonotum allonge et faiblement convexe. Mesonotum plus long que large. Echancrure lentement evasee, surtout devant, avec les stigmates situees sur sa declivite anterieure. Face basale du metanotum courte et mediocrement convexe, plus courte que la declive dont elle est mal separee par une courbe inclinee. Ecaille basse, obtuse au sommet et tres inclinee en avant.
Plus chagrinee et moins luisante que la vividula Nyl, surtout sur la tete et sur l'abdomen; ce dernier subopaque. Pubescence longue, jaunatre, plus abondante sur l'abdomen, plus espacee ailleurs. Pilosite dressee comme chez la vividula, brun fonce, mais un peu plus clair-semee sur le thorax. Sur l'abdomen, la pubescence ressemble a s'y meprendre a des stries longitudinales.
D'un jaune rougeatre un peu plus vif sur la tete; une bande brune a la base de. l'abdomen et une bande transversale etroite de meme couleur a l'extremite de chaque segment. Antennes (sauf vers l'extremite), milieu des cuisses et tibias brunatres.
[[queen]] L. 3,5 mill. Tete plus large que longue, au moins aussi large que le thorax. Face basale tres courte. Ailes enfumees de brunatre (mediocrement), avec les nervures brunes. Assez fortement pubescente. Du reste comme l'ouvriere, mais plus foncee, d'un brun jaunatre; bandes de l'abdomen larges et fondues; funicules entierement d'un jaune rougeatre. Surubres pres San Mateo, Costa Rica, dans la terre, avec des termites; mome localite, sous les pierres (P. Biolley).
M. Tonduz m'a envoye une [[worker]] plus foncee, provenant aussi de Costa Rica, et qui n'est qu'une variete de cette espece que je dedie au Dr H. Lietz, initiateur des Landerziehungsheime. La taille plus grele, la sculpture et la couleur distinguent cette espece de sa voisine la P. vividula Nyl. La P. Bruesi Wheeler est beaucoup plus robuste et luisante.
