description: We have studied the uJy radio properties of K-selected galaxies detected in the Ultra-Deep Survey portion of UKIDSS using 610- and 1,400-MHz images from the VLA and GMRT. These deep radio mosaics, combined with the largest and deepest K image currently available, allow high-S/N detections of many K-selected sub-populations, including sBzK and pBzK star-forming and passive galaxies. We find a strong correlation between the radio and K fluxes and a linear relationship between SFR and K luminosity. We find no evidence, from either radio spectral indices or a comparison with submm-derived SFRs, that the full sample is strongly contaminated by AGN. The sBzK and pBzK galaxies have similar levels of radio flux, SFR and specific SFR (SSFR) at z < 1.4, suggesting there is strong contamination of the pBzK sample by star-forming galaxies. At z > 1.4, pBzK galaxies become difficult to detect in the radio stack, though the implied SFRs are still much higher than expected for passively evolving galaxies. Their radio emission may come from low-luminosity AGN. EROs straddle the passive and star-forming regions of the BzK diagram and also straddle the two groups in terms of their radio properties. K-bright ERO samples are dominated by passive galaxies and faint ERO samples contain more star-forming galaxies. The star-formation history (SFH) from stacking all K sources in the UDS agrees well with that derived for other wavebands and other radio surveys, at least out to z ~ 2. The radio-derived SFH then appears to fall more steeply than that measured at other wavelengths. The SSFR for K-selected sources rises strongly with redshift at all stellar masses, and shows a weak dependence on stellar mass. High- and low-mass galaxies show a similar decline in SSFR since z ~ 2 (abridged).

description: A classical result due to Bochner characterizes the classical orthogonal polynomial systems as solutions of a second-order eigenvalue equation. We extend Bochner's result by dropping the assumption that the first element of the orthogonal polynomial sequence be a constant. This approach gives rise to new families of complete orthogonal polynomial systems that arise as solutions of second-order eigenvalue equations with rational coefficients. The results are based on a classification of exceptional polynomial subspaces of codimension one under projective transformations.

description: The expanding possibilities for a better quality of life increasingly accelerate the demand for various unique and uncommon services. The expansion of services had been recently spectated in all sectors and spheres of human activity. The impacts of these changes become evident both in cities and the countryside. The increased requirements and demand for the variety of services in rural areas, at the same time, raised the value of unique cultural resources, specific regions. However, creative innovators found new ways of using unique cultural resources in geographically distanced regions by establishing cultureuncommon thematic villages, which have the potential to mature into unique self-organized business models. This paper aims to explain the potential of using unique cultural resources in culture-uncommon environments for future regional development in the EU on the example of thematic villages. Based on a case study, performed in Lithuania in 2018, this research gives evidence of a successful initiative, developed by using cultural uniqueness in the culture-uncommon environment. Research results reveal that creative application of cultural uniqueness in the particular environment might add to the development of rural region both in the economic and social sense. Culture-uncommon thematic villages hold potential to grow till fully mature self-organized business models and expand with the social and economic impact on the particular region’s development. Therefore, it is suggested to focus on fostering the use of unique cultural resources in the EU CAP support schemes 2020+ next to the aims of making the EU agricultures equally developed by all indicators in all of the EU regions.

description: The purpose of the paper is to assess the views of farmers on thelandscape and their possible inclusion in the Ecological Focus Areas. The study used data from a survey among 451 farmers from Czech and Moravia conducted in 2016 in a form of questionnaire. We demonstrate that apart from the support for registration of landscape features, agricultural policy in the Czech Republic should be also focused on the support for forming and assessing new landscape features. This needs an extensive discussion with the participation of different stakeholders and policy-makers.

description: Family Endomychidae Leach, 1815   Papers by Tomaszewska (2000, 2010) deal with the morphology, phylogeny, classification and history of this family. Traditionally, Merophysiinae and Endomychidae were treated as separate families which together with Coccinellidae and other minor families formed the Cerylonid series of the Superfamily Cucujoidea (Crowson 1955). However, recent molecular research by Robertson et al. (2015) showed that Cucujoidea is not monophyletic, and the family Endomychidae was redefined. The subfamilies Eupsilobiinae, Mycetaeinae and Anamorphinae were excluded from Endomychidae, being elevated to family level. Endomychidae is currently included in the superfamily Coccinelloidea, close to Coccinellidae (Kovář 1973; Robertson et al. 2015; Zhang et al. 2018).

Characterization of idiotype interactions during the immune response to ferredoxin. idiotype and epitope specific interactions determine the outcome of challenge with antigen

description: Anti-idiotype antisera were raised in rabbits to two monoclonal antibodies, Fd-1 and Fd-2, with specificity for each of the two antigenic epitopes found on the ferredoxin (Fd) molecule. The anti-idiotype antisera (anti-Fd-1 and anti-Fd-2) were used to demonstrate that one of the idiotypes (Fd-1) was expressed at significant levels in most anti-Fd antisera raised in BIO.BR mice while the second idiotype (Fd-2) was infrequently expressed. Examination of anti-Fd sera raised in other mouse strains demonstrated that expression of the Fd-1 idiotype mapped to the IgH gene complex and was found in the antisera of all mouse strains examined with the Ig-1[sup=b] allotype. When splenocytes from Fd-immune B10.BR mice were treated with anti-Fd-1 and transferred to irradiated syngeneic recipients, the adoptive secondary response was significantly higher in animals receiving treated cells as opposed to control animals which received normal rabbit serum treated cells. This response produced a net increase in antibody to both epitopes and the relative amount of Fd-1 idiotope was not significantly altered. Further studies with separated cell populations showed that the overall increase of anti-Fd antibody produced was attributable to the effects of the anti-idiotypic serum on a population(s) of T cells. Treatment of mice with the Fd-1 monoclonal antibody (which should react with anti-idiotypic cells) had an analogous effect to that of the anti-idiotype. Treated mice produced heightened levels of antibodies directed to both epitopes of Fd. Treatment of mice with second anti-idiotype, anti-Fd-2, was found to enhance the anti-Fd response of B10.BR mice and abrogate the non-responder status of DBA/2 mice. Additional evidence indicates that the Fd-2 idiotype could be expressed on a suppressor cell population which may be a predominant regulatory element in both BIO.BR and DBA/2 mice.

The magnetic world of Ganymede: an assessment of cross-magnetopause energy transport and its effects on the only known moon magnetosphere
Creators: name: Kaweeyanun, Nawapat
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Ganymede – Jupiter’s largest moon – generates a permanent magnetic field due to its Earth-like molten iron core. The internal magnetism affords Ganymede its own magnetosphere that is encased by Jupiter’s field-carrying plasma sheet at all times. However, this unique magnetic domain remains poorly understood due to insufficient observational data. This thesis provides fundamental assessments on aspects of Ganymede’s magnetosphere through analytical modelling, and offers baseline predictions for future observations of the moon. The first work chapter considers the upstream magnetopause, where magnetic reconnection is expected to drive Dungey-like plasma convection in Ganymede’s magnetosphere. I evaluate magnetic reconnection onset to be favourable across the entire boundary, with average rates exhibiting Jovian half-synodic variation consistent with governance by Jupiter’s rotation. The second work chapter then determines that magnetopause reconnection is significantly localised as flux-transfer events, and sufficiently rapid that Ganymede’s magnetotail must also contain rapid reconnection site(s) to maintain a stable magnetosphere. The third work chapter returns to the magnetopause and assesses Ganymede’s Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) instability growth. Linear K-H waves are expected to form along magnetopause flanks, with notable inter-flank asymmetry due to finite Larmor radius effects. However, nonlinear K-H vortex growth should be suppressed by concurring reconnection events, limiting the instability’s role in Ganymedean plasma convection. Finally, the fourth work chapter estimates the magnetopause’s Chapman-Ferraro (C-F) magnetic field, which varies at Jovian half-synodic period corresponding with near-boundary conditions. The C-F signal is shown to induce a secondary magnetic response from Ganymede’s subsurface ocean of magnitude ~1-10 nT, which is resolvable by modern magnetometers and establishes the magnetopause as a potential probe for ocean study via magnetic induction. The thesis concludes with introduction of the upcoming JUpiter ICy moon Explorer mission, which will not only verify predictions from the work chapters, but also exponentially advance our understanding of Ganymede as a whole.

description: The theme of the 15th ICRSS is 'Polar Regions in Transformation - Climatic Change and Anthropogenic Pressures'. Earth's Polar Regions, including high mountain regions outside the high latitudes, feature cold-climate environments characterized by unique landscapes, biota, and processes. Many of these features and dynamics are Cryosphere-driven and either are already subject to or have the potential for fundamental and rapid changes in a warming world. The myriad of Earth observation technologies provide crucial tools to understand and quantify these changes. The 15th ICRSS in Potsdam is the largest in the conference series to date: About 100 registered participants come from 16 countries, demonstrating the true international character of this otherwise intimate but focused polar symposium. Together, with an engaged Local Organizing Committee and the International Scientific Committee, we organized 10 scientific sessions with 61 oral and 38 poster presentations, covering nearly all fields of Cryosphere research as well as research on northern vegetation and polar oceanography. The symposium program will be headlined by an exciting set of 7 keynote speakers highlighting the scientific frontiers in our research fields.

description: Photoluminescence spectra measured on a type-II GaSb/GaAs quantum dot ensemble at high excitation power indicate a Mott transition from the low density state comprising of spatially-indirect excitons to a high density electron-plasma state. Under the influence of a very high magnetic field, the electron-plasma that is formed at high excitation powers is `frozen-out' into a state of optically inactive magneto-excitons.

description: Over the last decade we have been conducting research activities in many village research camps and accumulating knowledge about the development of different villages. There is a gradually strengthening assumption that the development possibilities in the analysed villages will be affected significantly by the condition of the local society. In the study, we primarily focused on the experiences gained in the Romanian and Hungarian village research camps, where we were studing the local society and the history of development of thevillages. The main question was whether their development was determined by strategy, good luck and good position, or by the quality of the local society. Thefollowing methods were used during the research: processing and analysis of data available at the site and in databases, questionnaire surveys, interviews and participant observations. In case of statistical data, we relied primarily on the applications of the National Spatial Development and Territorial Information System (TeIR) and on the databases of the Territorial Statistical Data System (T-STAR) operated by the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (HCSO). With the help of the development history of the settlements, we drew general conclusions about the functioning of endogenous resources and social capital. We concluded that without a strong local society the local development initiatives could fail.

description: We construct the boundary phase space in $D$-dimensional Einstein gravity with a generic given co-dimension one null surface ${\cal N}$ as the boundary. The associated boundary symmetry algebra is a semi-direct sum of diffeomorphisms of $\cal N$ and Weyl rescalings. It is generated by $D$ towers of surface charges that are generic functions over $\cal N$. These surface charges can be rendered integrable for appropriate slicings of the phase space, provided there is no graviton flux through $\cal N$. In one particular slicing of this type, the charge algebra is the direct sum of the Heisenberg algebra and diffeomorphisms of the transverse space, ${\cal N}_v$ for any fixed value of the advanced time $v$. Finally, we introduce null surface expansion- and spin-memories, and discuss associated memory effects that encode the passage of gravitational waves through $\cal N$, imprinted in a change of the surface charges.

description: Numerical simulation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence makes it possible to study accretion dynamics in detail. However, special effort is required to connect inflow dynamics (dependent largely on angular momentum transport) to radiation (dependent largely on thermodynamics and photon diffusion). To this end we extend the flux-conservative, general relativistic MHD code HARM from axisymmetry to full 3D. The use of an energy conserving algorithm allows the energy dissipated in the course of relativistic accretion to be captured as heat. The inclusion of a simple optically thin cooling function permits explicit control of the simulated disk's geometric thickness as well as a direct calculation of both the amplitude and location of the radiative cooling associated with the accretion stresses. Fully relativistic ray-tracing is used to compute the luminosity received by distant observers. For a disk with aspect ratio H/r ~ 0.1 accreting onto a black hole with spin parameter a/M = 0.9, we find that there is significant dissipation beyond that predicted by the classical Novikov-Thorne model. However, much of it occurs deep in the potential, where photon capture and gravitational redshifting can strongly limit the net photon energy escaping to infinity. In addition, with these parameters and this radiation model, significant thermal and magnetic energy remains with the gas and is accreted by the black hole. In our model, the net luminosi ty reaching infinity is 6% greater than the Novikov-Thorne prediction. If the accreted thermal energy were wholly radiated, the total luminosity of the accretion flow would be ~20% greater than the Novikov-Thorne value.

description: Tycho's supernova remnant was observed by the XIS and HXD instruments onboard the Suzaku satellite on 2006 June 26-29 for 92 ks. The spectrum up to 30 keV was well fitted with a two-component model, consisting of a power-law with photon index of 2.7 and a thermal bremsstrahlung model with temperature of 4.7 keV. The former component can alternatively be modeled as synchrotron emission from a population of relativistic electrons with an estimated roll-off energy of around 1 keV. In the XIS spectra, in addition to the prominent Fe K_alpha line (6.445 keV), we observe for the first time significant K_alpha line emission from the trace species Cr and Mn at energies of 5.48 keV and 5.95 keV, respectively. Faint K_beta lines from Ca (4.56 keV) and Fe (7.11 keV) are also seen. The ionization states of Cr and Mn, based on their line centroids, are estimated to be similar to that of Fe K_alpha (Fe XV or XVI).

description: We explore a hidden feedback loops effect in online recommender systems. Feedback loops result in degradation of online multi-armed bandit (MAB) recommendations to a small subset and loss of coverage and novelty. We study how uncertainty and noise in user interests influence the existence of feedback loops. First, we show that an unbiased additive random noise in user interests does not prevent a feedback loop. Second, we demonstrate that a non-zero probability of resetting user interests is sufficient to limit the feedback loop and estimate the size of the effect. Our experiments confirm the theoretical findings in a simulated environment for four bandit algorithms.

description: Human environments are often regulated by explicit and complex rulesets. Integrating Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents into such environments motivates the development of learning mechanisms that perform well in rule-dense and exception-ridden environments such as autonomous driving on regulated roads. In this paper, we propose a method for organising experience by means of partitioning the experience buffer into clusters labelled on a per-explanation basis. We present discrete and continuous navigation environments compatible with modular rulesets and 9 learning tasks. For environments with explainable rulesets, we convert rule-based explanations into case-based explanations by allocating state-transitions into clusters labelled with explanations. This allows us to sample experiences in a curricular and task-oriented manner, focusing on the rarity, importance, and meaning of events. We label this concept Explanation-Awareness (XA). We perform XA experience replay (XAER) with intra and inter-cluster prioritisation, and introduce XA-compatible versions of DQN, TD3, and SAC. Performance is consistently superior with XA versions of those algorithms, compared to traditional Prioritised Experience Replay baselines, indicating that explanation engineering can be used in lieu of reward engineering for environments with explainable features.

description: Hyperproperties generalize trace properties by expressing relations between multiple computations. Hyperpropertes include policies from information-flow security, like observational determinism or non-interference, and many other system properties including promptness and knowledge. In this paper, we give an overview on the model checking problem for temporal hyperlogics. Our starting point is the model checking algorithm for HyperLTL, a reduction to Büchi automata emptiness. This basic construction can be extended with propositional quantification, resulting in an algorithm for HyperQPTL. It can also be extended with branching time, resulting in an algorithm for HyperCTL*. However, it is not possible to have both extensions at the same time: the model checking problem of HyperQCTL* is undecidable. An attractive compromise is offered by MPL[E], i.e., monadic path logic extended with the equal-level predicate. The expressiveness of MPL[E] falls strictly between that of HyperCTL* and HyperQCTL*. MPL[E] subsumes both HyperCTL* and HyperKCTL*, the extension of HyperCTL* with the knowledge operator. We show that the model checking problem for MPL[E] is still decidable.

description: We propose a feasible scheme for generation of strongly non-Gaussian states using the cross-Kerr nonlinearity. The resultant states are highly non-classical states of electromagnetic field and exhibit negativity of their Wigner function, sub-Poissonian photon statistics, and amplitude squeezing. Furthermore, the Wigner function has a distinctly pronounced ``banana'' or ``crescent'' shape specific for the Kerr-type interactions, which so far was not demonstrated experimentally. We show that creating and detecting such states should be possible with the present technology using electromagnetically induced transparency in a four-level atomic system in N-configuration.

description: We prove the global well-posedness and scattering for the defocusing $H^{\frac12}$-subcritical (that is, $24(γ-2)/(3γ-4)$, which also scatters in both time directions. This improves the result in \cite{ChHKY}, where the global well-posedness was established for any $s>\max\big(1/2,4(γ-2)/(3γ-4)\big)$. The new ingredients in our proof are that we make use of an interaction Morawetz estimate for the smoothed out solution $Iu$, instead of an interaction Morawetz estimate for the solution $u$, and that we make careful analysis of the monotonicity property of the multiplier $m(ξ)\cdot < ξ>^p$. As a byproduct of our proof, we obtain that the $H^s$ norm of the solution obeys the uniform-in-time bounds.

description: Linear Collider Alignment and Survey (LiCAS) R&D group is proposing a novel automated metrology instrument dedicated to align and monitor the mechanical stability of a future linear high energy e+e- collider. LiCAS uses Laser Straightness Monitors (LSM) and Frequency Scanning Interferometry (FSI) for straightness and absolute distance measurements, respectively. This paper presents detailed simulations of a LiCAS system operating inside a Rapid Tunnel Reference Surveyor (RTRS train). With the proposed design it is feasible to achieve the required vertical accuracy of the order of 200 micons over 600 m tunnel sections meeting the specification for the TESLA collider.

description: We report on Suzaku observations of four unidentified sources from the INTEGRAL and Swift BAT Galactic plane surveys. All the sources have a large neutral hydrogen column density and are likely members of an emerging class of heavily absorbed high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) first identified in INTEGRAL observations. Two of the sources in our sample are approximately constant flux sources, one source shows periodic variation and one source exhibited a short, bright X-ray outburst. The periodicity is transient, suggesting it is produced by a neutron star in an elliptical orbit around a stellar wind source. We analyze the flaring source in several segments to look for spectral variation and discuss the implications of the findings for the nature of the source. We conclude that all four sources in our sample can be identified with the emerging class of highly absorbed HMXBs, that one is a newly identified transient X-ray pulsar and that at least one is a newly identified supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT).

description: We define the notion of Bernstein measures and Bernstein approximations over general convex polytopes. This generalizes well-known Bernstein polynomials which are used to prove the Weierstrass approximation theorem on one dimensional intervals. We discuss some properties of Bernstein measures and approximations, and prove an asymptotic expansion of the Bernstein approximations for smooth functions which is a generalization of the asymptotic expansion of the Bernstein polynomials on the standard $m$-simplex obtained by Abel-Ivan and Hörmander. These are different from the Bergman-Bernstein approximations over Delzant polytopes recently introduced by Zelditch. We discuss relations between Bernstein approximations defined in this paper and Zelditch's Bergman-Bernstein approximations.

description: We present an easy proof that $p$--Hardy's inequality implies uniform $p$--fatness of the boundary when $p=n$. The proof works also in metric space setting and demonstrates the self--improving phenomenon of the $p$--fatness. We also explore the relationship between $p$-fatness, $p$-Hardy inequality, and the uniform perfectness for all $p\ge 1$, and demonstrate that in the Ahlfors $Q$-regular metric measure space setting with $p=Q$, these three properties are equivalent.

Fog on the horizon: a new definition of the neutrino floor for direct dark matter searches

description: The neutrino floor is a theoretical lower limit on WIMP-like dark matter models that are discoverable in direct detection experiments. It is commonly interpreted as the point at which dark matter signals become hidden underneath a remarkably similar-looking background from neutrinos. However, it has been known for some time that the neutrino floor is not a hard limit, but can be pushed past with sufficient statistics. As a consequence, some have recently advocated for calling it the "neutrino fog" instead. The downside of current methods of deriving the neutrino floor are that they rely on arbitrary choices of experimental exposure and energy threshold. Here we propose to define the neutrino floor as the boundary of the neutrino fog, and develop a calculation free from these assumptions. The technique is based on the derivative of a hypothetical experimental discovery limit as a function of exposure, and leads to a neutrino floor that is only influenced by the systematic uncertainties on the neutrino flux normalisations. Our floor is broadly similar to those found in the literature, but differs by almost an order of magnitude in the sub-GeV range, and above 20~GeV.

description: Muon spin relaxation experiments have been performed in the pyrochlore iridate Pr_2Ir_2O_7 for temperatures in the range 0.025-250 K. Kubo-Toyabe relaxation functions are observed up to > 200 K, indicating static magnetism over this temperature range. The T -> 0 static muon spin relaxation rate Delta(0) ~ 8 mus^-1 implies a weak quasistatic moment (~0.1 mu_B). The temperature dependence of Delta is highly non-mean-field-like, decreasing smoothly by orders of magnitude but remaining nonzero below ~150 K. The data rule out ordering of the full Pr^3+ CEF ground-state moment (3.0 mu_B) down to 0.025 K. The weak static magnetism is most likely due to hyperfine-enhanced ^141Pr nuclear magnetism. The dynamic relaxation rate lambda increases markedly below ~20 K, probably due to slowing down of spin fluctuations in the spin-liquid state. At low temperatures lambda is strong and temperature-independent, indicative of a high density of low-lying spin excitations as is common in frustrated antiferromagnets.
