description: Context: Methanol is thought to be mainly formed during the prestellar phase and its deuterated form keeps memory of the conditions at that epoch. Thanks to the unique combination of high angular resolution and sensitivity provided by ALMA, we wish to measure methanol deuteration in the planet formation region around a Class 0 protostar and to understand its origin. Aims: We mapped both the $^{13}$CH$_3$OH and CH$_2$DOH distribution in the inner regions ($\sim$100 au) of the HH212 system in Orion B. To this end, we used ALMA Cycle 1 and Cycle 4 observations in Band 7 with angular resolution down to $\sim$0.15$"$. Results: We detected 6 lines of $^{13}$CH$_3$OH and 13 lines of CH$_2$DOH with upper level energies up to 438 K in temperature units. We derived a rotational temperature of (171 $\pm$ 52) K and column densities of 7$\times$10$^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$ ($^{13}$CH$_3$OH) and 1$\times$10$^{17}$ cm$^{-2}$ (CH$_2$DOH), respectively. Consequently, the D/H ratio is (2.4 $\pm$ 0.4)$\times$10$^{-2}$, a value lower by an order of magnitude with respect to what was previously measured using single dish telescopes toward protostars located in Perseus. Our findings are consistent with the higher dust temperatures in Orion B with respect to that derived for the Perseus cloud. The emission is tracing a rotating structure extending up to 45 au from the jet axis and elongated by 90 au along the jet axis. So far, the origin of the observed emission appears to be related with the accretion disk. Only higher spatial resolution measurements however, will be able to disentangle between different possible scenarios: disk wind, disk atmosphere, or accretion shocks.

Evidence for pulsars metamorphism and their possible connection to black holes and dark matter in cosmology

description: Pulsars and neutron stars are generally more massive than the Sun, whereas black holes have unlimited mass-spectrum, though the mass-gap between 2 - 5$M_\odot$, which applies for both classes, is evident and remains puzzling. Based on the solution of the TOV equation modified to include a universal scalar field $ϕ$ at the background of supranuclear densities, we claim that pulsars must be born with embryonic super-baryons (SBs), that form through the merger of individual neutrons at their centers. The cores of SBs are made of purely incompressible superconducting gluon-quark superfluids (henceforth SuSu-fluids). Such quantum fluids have a uniform supranuclear density and governed by the critical EOSs for baryonic matter $P_b = \mathcal{E}_b$ and for $ϕ-$induced dark energy $P_ϕ= -\mathcal{E}_ϕ.$ The incompressibility here ensures that particles communicate on the shortest possible timescale, superfluidity and superconductivity enforce SBs to spin-down promptly as dictated by the Onsager-Feynman equation, whereas their lowest energy state grants SBs lifetimes that are comparable to those of protons. The extraordinary long lifetimes suggests that conglomeration of SuSu-objects would evolve over several big bang events to possibly form dark matter halos that embed the galaxies in the observable universe. Having pulsars been converted into SuSu-objects, which is predicted to last for one Gyr or even shorter, then they become extraordinary compact and turn invisible. It turns out that recent observations on the quantum, stellar and cosmological scales remarkably support the present scenario.

description: Gossip algorithms are attractive for in-network processing in sensor networks because they do not require any specialized routing, there is no bottleneck or single point of failure, and they are robust to unreliable wireless network conditions. Recently, there has been a surge of activity in the computer science, control, signal processing, and information theory communities, developing faster and more robust gossip algorithms and deriving theoretical performance guarantees. This paper presents an overview of recent work in the area. We describe convergence rate results, which are related to the number of transmitted messages and thus the amount of energy consumed in the network for gossiping. We discuss issues related to gossiping over wireless links, including the effects of quantization and noise, and we illustrate the use of gossip algorithms for canonical signal processing tasks including distributed estimation, source localization, and compression.

description: Three lactating cows each were inserted with a teat dilator, a gut string teat dilator, a teat cannula or a natural insert into all teats. All teats of 3 control cows were not treated. Milking was ceased for 5 days and all devices were left in the teats during that period. All teats were examined by endoscopy before and after insertion. By day 6, all teats inserted with a teat dilator, a gut string teat dilator or a teat cannula showed severe proliferative inflammation and injuries of the teat cistern lining. All teats inserted with the natural insert and controls were grossly normal.

description: Nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation provides a means to perform fast and robust quantum gates. It has been implemented in various physical systems, such as trapped ions, nuclear magnetic resonance and superconducting circuits. Another system being adequate for implementation of nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation may be Rydberg atoms, since their internal states have very long coherence time and the Rydberg-mediated interaction facilitates the implementation of a two-qubit gate. Here, we propose a scheme of nonadiabatic geometric quantum computation based on Rydberg atoms, which combines the robustness of nonadiabatic geometric gates with the merits of Rydberg atoms.

description: Dairy herds (n = 76) with initial prevalence of Staphylococcus aureus IMI> 10% were included in this study, from among approximately 2800 herds visited between January 1992 and July 1994 by the Quality Milk Promotion Services at Cornell University. The farms were located in New York and Pennsylvania. Other inclusion criteria were that herds did not change teat dipping or dry cow treatment practices, were not segregating cows that were positive for S. aureus at the initial visit, and did not cull > 50% of those found positive on the initial visit. Paired t tests and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were methods of statistical analysis. Mean herd size was 59 lactating cows, and herd size ranged from 28 to 436 cows. Percentage of herds teat dipping, using dry cow treatment, and mean herd size were not different among segregation groups. Mean number of visits (3.5 per herd) did not differ among groups. During a follow-up period (6-to-24 mo), segregation or separate milking of cows (n=21 herds) that were positive for S. aureus resulted in reduction of prevalence from 29.5 to 16.3%, and bulk tank SCC from 600,000 to 345,000/ml. Prevalence of S. aureus mastitis was unchanged for herds (n=55 herds) not segregating S. aureus cows, 22.5 to 20.2%, and the change in SCC from 698,000 to 484,000 for nonsegregated herds was less of a reduction than for the segregating herds. Segregation or use of separate units for cows known to be positive for S. aureus is an effective mastitis control practice.

Analysis of planar ornament patterns via motif asymmetry assumption and local connections

description: Planar ornaments, a.k.a. wallpapers, are regular repetitive patterns which exhibit translational symmetry in two independent directions. There are exactly $17$ distinct planar symmetry groups. We present a fully automatic method for complete analysis of planar ornaments in $13$ of these groups, specifically, the groups called $p6m, \, p6, \, p4g, \,p4m, \,p4, \, p31m, \,p3m, \, p3, \, cmm, \, pgg, \, pg, \, p2$ and $p1$. Given the image of an ornament fragment, we present a method to simultaneously classify the input into one of the $13$ groups and extract the so called fundamental domain (FD), the minimum region that is sufficient to reconstruct the entire ornament. A nice feature of our method is that even when the given ornament image is a small portion such that it does not contain multiple translational units, the symmetry group as well as the fundamental domain can still be defined. This is because, in contrast to common approach, we do not attempt to first identify a global translational repetition lattice. Though the presented constructions work for quite a wide range of ornament patterns, a key assumption we make is that the perceivable motifs (shapes that repeat) alone do not provide clues for the underlying symmetries of the ornament. In this sense, our main target is the planar arrangements of asymmetric interlocking shapes, as in the symmetry art of Escher.

description: In this paper we consider the bouncing braneworld scenario, in which the bulk is given by a five-dimensional AdS black hole spacetime with matter field confined in a $D_3$ brane. Exploiting the CFT/FRW-cosmology relation, we consider the self-gravitational corrections to the first Friedmann-like equation which is the equation of the brane motion. The self-gravitational corrections act as a source of stiff matter contrary to standard FRW cosmology where the charge of the black hole plays this role. Then, we study the stability of solutions with respect to homogeneous and isotropic perturbations. Specifically, if we do not consider the self-gravitational corrections, the AdS black hole with zero ADM mass, and open horizon is an attractor, while, if we consider the self-gravitational corrections, the AdS black hole with zero ADM mass and flat horizon, is a repeller

Shannon entropy for imprecise and under-defined or over-defined information
Creators: name: Patrascu, Vasile

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Shannon entropy was defined for probability distributions and then its using was expanded to measure the uncertainty of knowledge for systems with complete information. In this article, it is proposed to extend the using of Shannon entropy to under-defined or over-defined information systems. To be able to use Shannon entropy, the information is normalized by an affine transformation. The construction of affine transformation is done in two stages: one for homothety and another for translation. Moreover, the case of information with a certain degree of imprecision was included in this approach. Besides, the article shows the using of Shannon entropy for some particular cases such as: neutrosophic information both in the trivalent and bivalent case, bifuzzy information, intuitionistic fuzzy information, imprecise fuzzy information, and fuzzy partitions.

Is bovine mastitis being reduced?

Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1998

description: The International Dairy Federation has carried out surveys of its member countries at 5 year intervals in an attempt to quantify the mastitis situation and monitor progress in control. The survey takes the form of a questionnaire which has gradually expanded and now includes questions on the dairy cow population, mastitis control schemes, monitoring procedures, mastitis control measures, milk payment, progress in mastitis control and future plans. Nine countries replied to the first questionnaire in 1973; by 1994 this had increased to 24 countries. Data on mastitis cell counts have been available in some countries from the first survey, but seven countries were still unable to provide national data in 1994. Most of the available data demonstrate a reduction in national average cell counts. In the 1994 survey 13 countries recorded a reduced cell count since 1990 although 21 considered there had been definite or some improvement recently. Few data are available on the national situation on subclinical and clinical mastitis and comparative information is rare. In the same survey the prevalence of subclinical mastitis had been reduced in 3 of 7 countries since 1990 and the incidence of clinical mastitis had been reduced in 2 of 6 countries. These data indicate little progress in reducing mastitis in recent years.

description: Case management is a complex process in which veterinarians utilise a large amount of information about diseases. This project was undertaken to develop a comprehensive, up-to-date information source on diseases of cattle, which could be easily interrogated and was presented in a form that supported common veterinary diagnostic decision-making techniques. The objective was to provide an information management tool which would be valuable for practitioners and government officers and could be used to enhance undergraduate education in cattle medicine. BOVID-3 is compiled from the veterinary literature and the experience of a panel of senior cattle clinicians and pathologists. Over 1040 different diseases have their clinical signs, clinicopathological findings, gross and histological lesions specified. Each disease also has a summary of its cause and transmission, major risk factors, confirmatory tests, recommended treatments and control measures (in general terms), and cross-references in standard texts. In case investigations, field veterinarians aim to establish differential lists that rank diseases in order of likelihood. BOVID-3 includes a classical probability analysis routine to model that approach. The program is currently used in 42 sites internationally. It is a primary resource for senior undergraduate veterinary students at the University of Melbourne where it has been integrated into the cattle medicine curriculum. Through use of BOVID-3, students learn the basis of the diagnostic strategies they are employing and how to access and manipulate information sources. These are facets of the deep learning approaches that innovative contemporary veterinary educators now foster.

First-principles study of tunnel current between scanning tunneling microscopy tip and hydrogen-adsorbed Si(001) surface

description: A scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) image of a hydrogen-adsorbed Si(001) surface is studied using first-principles electron-conduction calculation. The resultant STM image and scanning tunneling spectroscopy spectra are in agreement with experimental results. The contributions of the $π$ states of bare dimers to the tunnel current are markedly large, and the $σ$ states of the dimers rarely affect the STM images. The tunnel currents do not pass through the centers of the dimers but go through the edges of the dimers with local loop currents. In addition, when the tip exists above the hydrogen-adsorbed dimer, there are certain contributions from the $π$ state of the adjacing bare dimers to the tunnel current. This leads to the STM image in which the hydrogen-adsorbed dimers neighboring bare dimers look higher than those surrounded by hydrogen-adsorbed dimers. These results are consistent with the experimental images observed by STM.

description: Due to the dynamic nature of vehicular traffic and the road surroundings, vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) propagation characteristics vary greatly on both small and large scale. Recent measurements have shown that both large static objects (e.g., buildings and foliage) and mobile objects (surrounding vehicles) have a profound impact on V2V communication. At the same time, system-level vehicular ad hoc network (VANET) simulators by and large employ simple statistical propagation models, which do not account for surrounding objects explicitly. We designed Geometry-based Efficient propagationModel for V2V communication (GEMV2), which uses outlines of vehicles, buildings, and foliage todistinguish the following three types of links: line of sight (LOS), non-LOS (NLOS) due to vehicles, and NLOS due to static objects. For each link, GEMV2 calculates the large-scale signal variations deterministically, whereas the small-scale signal variations are calculated stochastically based on the number and size of surrounding objects. We implement GEMV2 in MATLAB and show that it scales well by using it to simulate radio propagation for city-wide networks with tens of thousands of vehicles on commodity hardware. We make the source code of GEMV2 freely available. Finally, we validate GEMV2 against extensive measurements performed in urban, suburban, highway, and open-space environments.
Evidence for Supermassive Black Holes in Active Galactic Nuclei from Emission-Line Reverberation

description: Emission-line variability data for Seyfert 1 galaxies provide strong evidence for the existence of supermassive black holes in the nuclei of these galaxies, and that the line-emitting gas is moving in the gravitational potential of that black hole. The time-delayed response of the emission lines to continuum variations is used to infer the size of the line-emitting region, which is then combined with measurements of the Doppler widths of the variable line components to estimate a virial mass. In the case of the best-studied galaxy, NGC 5548, various emission lines spanning an order of magnitude in distance from the central source show the expected velocity proportional to inverse square root of the distance correlation between distance and line width, and are thus consistent with a single value for the mass. Two other Seyfert galaxies, NGC 7469 and 3C 390.3, show a similar relationship. We compute the ratio of luminosity to mass for these three objects and the narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4051 and find that that the gravitational force on the line-emitting gas is much stronger than radiation pressure. These results strongly support the paradigm of gravitationally bound broad emission-line region clouds.

Environmental assessments
Creators: name: Forbes, A. B.
Publisher: name: The Bovine Practitioner
Year: 1998

description: Environmental safety is an important consideration in the registration and use of veterinary products in farm livestock. A common approach to environmental risk assessment is through a tiered testing system in which compounds may be taken through a gradation of tests of increasing complexity and scale. Whilst activity at lower tiers is not necessarily predictive of impact in the field, absence of effect in small scale studies generally obviates the necessity to proceed to larger scale testing. If effects are observed in the initial experiments, then the likely environmental impact of a particular compound can be estimated from consideration of the predicted exposure of non-target organisms to the active ingredient and its physico-chemical and biological characteristics. Confirmation that environmental impact assessments based on this type of extrapolation are valid can be determined through further testing of products at higher tiers representative of conditions of particular use. Testing at these higher tiers is logistically more demanding and limits the degree of control and replication compared to that which can be achieved in the laboratory, however the results are more closely allied to normal farm conditions and evaluations can include population and community measurements.

The evolution of the potential energy curves for the individual states with increasing field strength as well as the overall behaviour of the spectrum are discussed in detail. A variety of phenomena like for example the sequence of changes for the dissociation channels of excited states and the resulting formation of outer wells are encountered.

description: Using tens of thousands of halos realized in the BAHAMAS and MACSIS simulations produced with a consistent astrophysics treatment that includes AGN feedback, we validate a multi-property statistical model for the stellar and hot gas mass behavior in halos hosting groups and clusters of galaxies. The large sample size allows us to extract fine-scale mass--property relations (MPRs) by performing local linear regression (LLR) on individual halo stellar mass (${\rm M}_{\rm star}$) and hot gas mass (${\rm M}_{\rm gas}$) as a function of total halo mass (${\rm M}_{\rm halo}$). We find that: 1) both the local slope and variance of the MPRs run with mass (primarily) and redshift (secondarily); 2) the conditional likelihood, $p({\rm M}_{\rm star},\ {\rm M}_{\rm gas} | \ {\rm M}_{\rm halo}, z)$ is accurately described by a multivariate, log-normal distribution, and; 3) the covariance of ${\rm M}_{\rm star}$ and ${\rm M}_{\rm gas}$ at fixed ${\rm M}_{\rm halo}$ is generally negative, reflecting a partially closed baryon box model for high mass halos. We validate the analytical population model of Evrard et al. (2014), finding sub-percent accuracy in the log-mean halo mass selected at fixed property, $\langle \ln {\rm M}_{\rm halo} | {\rm M}_{\rm gas} \rangle$ or $\langle \ln {\rm M}_{\rm halo} | {\rm M}_{\rm star} \rangle$, when scale-dependent MPR parameters are employed. This work highlights the potential importance of allowing for running in the slope and scatter of MPRs when modeling cluster counts for cosmological studies. We tabulate LLR fit parameters as a function of halo mass at $z=0$, $0.5$ and 1 for two popular mass conventions.

title: Criminal Abuse of Non-Traditional Payment Methods: A Comparative Analysis of the Application of Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorist Financing Frameworks in the United Kingdom, United States, and Australia.
Creators: name: Shillito, Matthew Robert
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository

description: This doctoral thesis is concerned with the application of the international framework for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing to the threats emerging from the criminal misuse of non-traditional payment methods. The international framework plays a significant role in the development of national responses to money laundering and terrorist financing, it is therefore important to understand how it, and then individual countries have responded to this emerging threat. The thesis will explore three developed economies, with advanced anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing frameworks, they are: the UK, the US and Australia. From these countries best practices and deficiencies will be identified. This thesis will examine five NTPMs and outline the money laundering and terrorist financing risks associated with them. It will then Identify and analyse the relevant parts of the international AML and CTF framework, in relation to NTPMs. The analysis that follows will be broken down into the following thematic headings: 1. Global Role and Implementation of the International Framework; 2. Competent Authorities; 3. Application of the Risk-based Approach; 4. Preventive measures; 5. Confiscation of the Proceeds of Crime; and 6. Mutual Legal Assistance. Following on from this it will assess the compliance of three case study countries with the parts of the international AML and CTF framework that are relevant to NTPMs. The abuse of NTPMs, whilst still an emerging trend, are likely to increase in frequency and evolve in nature, in the coming years. It is therefore important to know how both the international framework and national responses adapt to these emerging challenges. For these reasons the area is worthy of academic consideration.

description: We investigated the terahertz (THz)-pulse driven nonlinear response in the d-wave cuprate superconductor Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (Bi2212) using a THz pump near-infrared probe scheme in the time domain. We have observed an oscillatory behavior of the optical reflectivity that follows the THz electric field squared and is strongly enhanced below Tc. The corresponding third-order nonlinear effect exhibits both A1g and B1g symmetry components, which are decomposed from polarization-resolved measurements. Comparison with a BCS calculation of the nonlinear susceptibility indicates that the A1g component is associated with the Higgs mode of the d-wave order parameter.

description: ANXA1 is a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein and is frequently associated with inflammation, cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, the relationship between ANXA1 and the prognosis of multiple tumours and tumour infiltrating immune cells remains unclear. Multivariate Cox proportional regression analysis was used for signature genes exploration in the basic of colon adenocarcinoma (COAD) RNA-sequence dataset obtained from TCGA, following the identification of 267 common differentially expressed genes, including ANXA1, among three expression profile datasets (GSE41328, GSE110224, and GSE113513). The differential expression of ANXA1 in different tumours and their corresponding normal tissues were evaluated through the Tumour Immune Estimation Resource (TIMER) and Oncomine database. Subsequently, we investigated the correlation between the expression level of ANXA1 and diverse panel of infiltrating immune cells and their related gene markers in colorectal cancer using correlation analysis in TIMER and GEPIA database. The high expression of ANXA1 was demonstrated to be closely correlated with poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer. More importantly, we found that changes in ANXA1 expression showed a moderate to strong, and statistically significant, correlation with infiltrating levels of B cells, CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cells, macrophages, neutrophils and dendritic cells. By contrast, there are only weak correlations between ANXA1 expression and immune cell infiltration in ESCA and STAD. ANXA1 expression was considerably associated with various immune markers involving immune cell recruitment, polarization of tumour-associated macrophages, and T cell exhaustion. ANXA1 is not only an independent risk factor in the prediction of the prognosis of colorectal cancer, but also a crucial regulator in immune cell infiltration. This study may shed light on the clinical value of ANXA1, especially in the areas of early diagnosis of colorectal cancer and therapeutic target discovery.
title: Metastasis-associated Macrophages Orchestrate the Formation of a Hospitable Metastatic Niche in Pancreatic Cancer

description: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most lethal cancers with an overall 5-year survival rate <5%, a rate that has not improved for a long time. The dismal prognosis for PDAC is part due to late detection, often at advanced stages of the disease where patients have developed distant metastases, but also due to chemotherapeutical resistance. Patients eligible for surgical resection of the pancreatic tumour has the best prognosis, but even when resection is successful, patients often relapse with distant metastases within 2 years after surgery. Macrophages promote tumourigenesis and enhance metastasis in many cancer types; however, the role of macrophages in PDAC metastasis is poorly understood. Using an experimental mouse model of liver metastasis, we find that PDAC liver metastasis critically depends on the early recruitment of granulin-secreting metastasis-associated macrophages (MAMs) to the liver that promote metastatic colonisation. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that granulin secretion by MAMs activates resident hepatic stellate cells (HSTCs) into myofibroblasts that secrete extracellular matrix components, including periostin, resulting in a fibrotic microenvironment that sustains metastatic tumour growth. Disruption of MAM recruitment in PI(3)Kγ-deficient mice, chemical depletion of MAMs from established lesions or genetic ablation of granulin reduces HSTC activation and liver metastasis. Adjuvant CTX is standard for patients after surgical resection to eliminate any residual cancer cells, and it improves survival for patients after resection. We find that 45% of mice with metastatic lesions respond to gemcitabine treatment with a reduction in metastatic burden. The metastatic lesions in these mice are characterised by a reduction in αSMA+ myofibroblasts. HSTCs do not seem to promote cancer cell survival in the presence of chemotherapy, but rather constitutes a protective niche that promotes relapse by promoting the growth of pancreatic cancer cells after gemcitabine treatment.
Supporting Requirements Engineering Research that Industry Needs: The Naming the Pain in Requirements Engineering Initiative

description: In light of the 40th jubilee of Requirements Engineering (RE), roughly 40 experts met in Switzerland to discuss where our discipline stands today. As of today, the common view is, indisputably, that RE as a discipline is stable and respected, as pointed out by Sarah Gregory when covering the seminar in her column to which articles like this one are invited to present ongoing research. However, it is also evident that after 40 years of promising research, conducting research that industry needs is still an ongoing challenge. Research that industry needs means research that solves industrial problems practitioners face; but do we really understand those problems? Here, I want to recapitulate on this research challenge and outline an initiative, the Naming the Pain in Requirements Engineering Initiative, that aims at tackling this problem.

description: Abstract: "Boundary solid grammars is a rule-based formalism for generating complex models of rigid solid objects. Solids are represented by their boundary elements, i.e. vertices, edges, and faces, with coordinate geometry associated with the vertices. Non-geometric data may be associated with any of these elements. Rules are used to match conditions of a solid or collection of solids and then modify them or create additional solids. A boundary solid grammar consists of an initial solid and a set of rules. It produces a language or family of solid models. The boundary solid grammar formalism is implemented in the Genesis boundary solid grammar interpreter.Genesis provides facilities for representation and display of solids, match conditions, solid modeling operations, rule and grammar definition, and searching through the language of a grammar. This reference manual details the facilities provided by the Genesis boundary solid grammar interpreter."

description: We report incommensurate diffuse (ICD) scattering appearing in the high-temperature-tetragonal (HTT) phase of La$_{2-x}$(Sr,Ba)$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ with $0.07 \leq x \leq 0.20$ observed by the neutron diffraction technique. For all compositions, a sharp superlattice peak of the low-temperature-orthorhombic (LTO) structure is replaced by a pair of ICD peaks with the modulation vector parallel to the CuO$_6$ octahedral tilting direction, that is, the diagonal Cu-Cu direction of the CuO$_2$ plane, above the LTO-HTT transition temperature $T_s$. The temperature dependences of the incommensurability $δ$ for all samples scale approximately as $T/T_s$, while those of the integrated intensity of the ICD peaks scale as $(T-T_s)^{-1}$. These observations together with absence of ICD peaks in the non-superconducting $x=0.05$ sample evince a universal incommensurate lattice instability of hole-doped 214 cuprates in the superconducting regime.

description: Saccharodite guamana species group
 Diagnosis. The species of this group can be recognized by the combination of the following characters:
1. Forewings with greatest width of basal cell between M and Sc+R nearly as broad as greatest width of basal median cell.
2. Forewings somewhat oval in shape with typical venation, not very broad.
3. Forewings often powdered or slightly powdered but powder can be lost in museum specimens which can result in forewings with a glassy appearance.
4. Forewings with sections of R after Sc + R fork and of M after the Ms2 fork often with sensory pits.
5. In profile head evenly rounded or only slightly angulated at junction of vertex and face.
6. Male genital styles with proximal dorsal process slender.
7. Apical part of male aedeagus simple, it might bear some lobes but without processes.
 Distribution. Species of this group are wide-spread in south-eastern Asia, the eastern Pacific islands and Australia. The majority of species is found in New Guinea and neighbouring islands including the Solomon Islands.

Infrared Spectroscopy of Molecular Supernova Remnants

description: We present Infrared Space Observatory spectroscopy of sites in the supernova remnants W28, W44, and 3C391, where blast waves are impacting molecular clouds. Atomic fine-structure lines were detected from C, N, O, Si, P, and Fe. The S(3) and S(9) lines of H2 were detected for all three remnants. The observations require both shocks into gas with moderate (~ 100 /cm3) and high (~10,000 /cm3) pre-shock densities, with the moderate density shocks producing the ionic lines and the high density shock producing the molecular lines. No single shock model can account for all of the observed lines, even at the order of magnitude level. We find that the principal coolants of radiative supernova shocks in moderate-density gas are the far-infrared continuum from dust grains surviving the shock, followed by collisionally-excited [O I] 63.2 and [Si II] 34.8 micron lines. The principal coolant of the high-density shocks is collisionally-excited H2 rotational and ro-vibrational line emission. We systematically examine the ground-state fine structure of all cosmically abundant elements, to explain the presence or lack of all atomic fine lines in our spectra in terms of the atomic structure, interstellar abundances, and a moderate-density, partially-ionized plasma. The [P II] line at 60.6 microns is the first known astronomical detection. There is one bright unidentified line in our spectra, at 74.26 microns. The presence of bright [Si II] and [Fe II] lines requires partial destruction of the dust. The required gas-phase abundance of Fe suggests 15-30% of the Fe-bearing grains were destroyed. The infrared continuum brightness requires ~1 Msun of dust survives the shock, suggesting about 1/3 of the dust mass was destroyed, in agreement with the depletion estimate and with theoretical models for dust destruction.

description: Andreas Krämer (National Institute of Health) and Yalun Yu (University of Maryland) visited the Chodera lab at MSKCC on Dec 17, 2019. Andreas gave a talk about development of an automated optimization approach to improve the CHARMM36 lipid force field using pair-specific LJ parameters done in collaboration with Yalun. Abstract: The CHARMM36 (C36) lipid force field is well-validated for many properties of monolayers and bilayers and has been cited in over 2000 studies of membrane simulations. Problematic aspects of C36 include its hard-wired fine-tuning to the TIP3P water model as well as intricacies regarding the Lennard-Jones (LJ) interactions. Concretely, the LJ switch distance is inconsistent between the C36 protein and lipid force fields and monolayer surface tensions only agree with experiment when long-range dispersion is incorporated. In contrast, bilayer properties were optimized without long-range dispersion. To improve this situation, we first explore the water-model dependence and develop an automated optimization approach to better reproduce membrane permeabilities using pair-specific LJ parameters. We then carry out a reweighting-based optimization of the force field to consistently introduce long-range dispersion. The initial results for 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) show that within few iterations the match with experiment is improved for many important lipid properties, such as bilayer and monolayer surface areas, compressibilities, order parameters, and headgroup hydration.
