description: The Centre for Longitudinal Studies (CLS) and the CLOSER (Cohorts and Longitudinal Studies Enhancement Resources) programme are, in the United Kingdom, in the process of translating legacy paper questionnaires to electronic format on a large scale. The ultimate goal of this programme is to gather the metadata of nine birth cohort studies into a joint DDI3 repository for online searching. In order to monitor the progress of this operation we define metrics which reflect the characteristics of the DDI3 schema, more particularly, its heavy reliance on references, whereby, whenever possible, a DDI3 element is defined once and reused by reference wherever it is required. We measure the volume of the metadata ingested with a Cell Count of the DDI3 xml elements produced and the quality of the metadata with the Synaptic Density, the ratio of the DDI3 references over the Cell Count. The Synaptic Density is expected to have a dual role over the course of the ingestion. In the earlier phases, it measures the lack of redundancy and monitors the cleaning and deduplication processes. In the more mature phases of the repository, it is expected to rise again as re-use, derivations and harmonisations gradually interweave and enrich the metadata.

description: Spin dynamics of optically excited electrons confined in asymmetric coupled quantum wells are investigated through time resolved Faraday rotation experiments. The inter-well coupling is shown to depend on applied electric field and barrier thickness. We observe three coupling regimes: independent spin precession in isolated quantum wells, incoherent spin transfer between single-well states, and coherent spin transfer in a highly coupled system. Relative values of the inter-well tunneling time, the electron spin lifetime, and the Larmor precession period appear to govern this behavior.

description: Charge-symmetry breaking in the nucleon-nucleon force is investigated within an effective field theory, using a classification of isospin-violating interactions based on power-counting arguments. The relevant charge-symmetry-breaking interactions corresponding to the first two orders in the power counting are discussed, including their effects on the 3He-3H binding-energy difference. The static charge-symmetry-breaking potential linear in the nucleon-mass difference is constructed using chiral perturbation theory. Explicit formulae in momentum and configuration spaces are presented. The present work completes previously obtained results.

description: Among other research data management services, Johns Hopkins University Data Management Services (JHUDMS),nbsp; provides its researchers the opportunity to preserve and share their data through the JHU Data Archive. This archive is a research data-specific repository that can host a wide variety of quantitative and qualitative data, and is both format- and discipline-agnostic. We in JHUDMS have begun archiving research data originating from two NSF-funded engineering research projects. This archiving process has begun with data associated with publications, which may be a typical model for library research data archives. These efforts have been an opportunity to understand the time and effort required for activities that can add value to a research data collection (e.g. discussions with the researcher, development of data flow diagrams, migration of data to non-proprietary formats). We will discuss these collections and the steps taken to create them. It is of benefit to both the researchers and JHUDMS to scope and streamline the archiving process with research data associated with publications in mind. We will discuss our current understanding of the most effective curation activities we can efficiently accomplish, parameters for those activities, and those elements perceived by the researcher to be most valuable.
On using inspiralling supermassive binary black holes in the PTA frequency band as standard sirens to constrain dark energy

description: Supermassive binary black holes (SMBBHs) in galactic centers may radiate gravitational wave (GW) in the nano-Hertz frequency band, which are expected to be detected by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) in the near future. GW signals from individual SMBBHs at cosmic distances, if detected by PTAs, are potentially powerful standard sirens that can be used to independently measure distances and thus put constraints on cosmological parameters. In this paper, we investigate the constraint that may be obtained on the equation of state ($w$) of dark energy by using those SMBBHs, expected to be detected by the PTAs in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) era. By considering both the currently available SMBBH candidates and mock SMBBHs in the universe resulting from a simple galaxy major merger model, we find that $\sim 200$ to $3000$ SMBBHs with chirp mass $>10^9M_\odot$ are expected to be detected with signal-to-noise ratio $>10$ by SKA-PTA with conservative and optimistic settings and they can be used to put a constraint on $w$ to an uncertainty of $Δw\sim 0.02-0.1$. If further information on the mass and mass ratio of those SMBBHs can be provided by electromagnetic observations (e.g., chirp mass uncertainty $\lesssim 50\%$), the constraint may be further improved to $\lesssim 0.01$ level, as many more SMBBHs will be detected by SKA-PTA with relatively better distance measurements and can be used as the standard sirens.

description: Perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with transparent electrodes can be integrated with existing solar panels in tandem configurations to increase the power conversion efficiency. A critical layer in semi-transparent PSCs is the inorganic buffer layer, which protects the PSC against damage when the transparent electrode is sputtered on top. The development of n-i-p structured semi-transparent PSCs has been hampered by the lack of suitable p-type buffer layers. In this work we develop a p-type CuOx buffer layer, which can be grown uniformly over the perovskite device without damaging the perovskite or organic charge transport layers, can be grown using industrially scalable techniques and has high hole mobility (4.3 +/- 2 cm2 V-1 s-1), high transmittance (>95%), and a suitable ionisation potential for hole extraction (5.3 +/- 0.2 eV). Semi-transparent PSCs with efficiencies up to 16.7% are achieved using the CuOx buffer layer. Our work demonstrates a new approach to integrate PSCs into tandem configurations, as well as enable the development of other devices that need high quality p-type layers.

description: Hard X-ray observations are the most efficient way to discriminate accretion-powered sources from star-light. Furthermore, hard X-rays are less affected than other bands by obscuration. For these reasons the advent of imaging instruments above 2 keV, has permitted to dramatically improve our understanding of accretion-powered sources and their cosmic evolution. By minimizing the problems of AGN selection and nuclear obscuration, the combination of deep and shallow hard X-ray surveys, performed first with ASCA and BeppoSAX and then with Chandra and XMM (e.g. ASCA LSS, HELLAS, CDFN, CDFS, Lockman Hole, SSA13, HELLAS2XMM etc.), allows a detailed study of the evolution of accreting sources. Somewhat surprising results are emerging: 1) the sources making the Cosmic X-ray Background peak at a redshift (z=0.7-1) lower than soft X-ray selected sources and lower than predicted by synthesis models for the CXB; 2) there is strong evidence of a luminosity dependence of the evolution, low luminosity sources (i.e. Seyfert galaxies) peaking at a significantly later cosmic time than high luminosity sources.

description: In this paper we propose a semi-supervised variational autoencoder for classification of overall survival groups from tumor segmentation masks. The model can use the output of any tumor segmentation algorithm, removing all assumptions on the scanning platform and the specific type of pulse sequences used, thereby increasing its generalization properties. Due to its semi-supervised nature, the method can learn to classify survival time by using a relatively small number of labeled subjects. We validate our model on the publicly available dataset from the Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (BraTS) 2019.

description: Supernova LSQ13abf was discovered soon after explosion by the La Silla-QUEST Survey and followed by the CSP II at optical and near-IR wavelengths. Our analysis indicates LSQ13abf was discovered within two days of explosion and its first 10 days of evolution reveal a B-band light curve with an abrupt drop in luminosity. Contemporaneously, the V-band light curve exhibits a rise towards a first peak and the r- and i-band light curves show no early peak. The early light-curve evolution of LSQ13abf is reminiscent of the post explosion cooling phase observed in the Type Ib SN 2008D, and the similarity between the two objects extends over weeks. Spectroscopically, LSQ13abf resembles SN 2008D with P Cygni He I features that strengthen over time. Spectral energy distributions are constructed from broad-band photometry, and by fitting black-body (BB) functions a UVOIR light curve is constructed, and the underlying BB-temperature and BB-radius profiles are estimated. Explosion parameters are estimated by simultaneously fitting an Arnett model to the UVOIR light curve and the velocity evolution derived from spectral features, and a post-shock breakout cooling model to the first two epochs of the bolometric evolution. This combined model suggests an explosion energy of 1.3x10$^{51}$ ergs, a relatively high ejecta mass of 5.94 M$_{\odot}$, a Ni mass of 0.16 M$_{\odot}$, and a progenitor-star radius of 28.0 R$_{\odot}$. The ejecta mass suggests the origins of LSQ13abf lie with a >25 M$_{\odot}$ ZAMS progenitor and its radius is three and nine times larger than values estimated from the same analysis applied to observations of SNe 2008D and 1999ex, respectively. Alternatively, comparison of hydrodynamical simulations of >20-25 M$_{\odot}$ ZAMS progenitors that evolve to pre-SN envelope masses around 10 M$_{\odot}$ and extended (~100 R$_{\odot}$) envelopes also match the observations of LSQ13abf.

description: We consider a special class of dimension-six operators which are assumed to be induced by some new physics with typical scales of order Λ. This special class are the operators with two quarks which can mediate transitions between quark flavours. We show that under quite general assumptions the effect of these operators can be parametrised in terms of six parameters, leading to a modification of the (at tree level flavour diagonal) neutral currents and to an ``effective CKM matrix'' for the charged currents, which is not necessarily unitary any more. The effects of these operators on charged and neutral currents are studied.

description: The study showed the relationship between the cost of providing additional water on-farm and the movements to secondary livelihood activities to adjust to shock of climate change by farmers. The study undertook a cross-sectional survey of arable crop farmers in Nigeria. The study utilized the multi-stage random sampling to select representative samples. The sampling process involved an initial selection of two (2) agro-ecological zones, the Guinea Savanna and the Southern Rain Forest out of the four (4) broad agro - ecological zones namely: the Northern Sudan Savanna, Guinea Savanna, Derived Savanna and the Southern Rain Forest through the simple random technique. Consequently, two (2) states Osun and Niger were purposively selected from the Guinea Savannah and the Southern Rain Forest, respectively. At the last stage of sampling, two hundred (200) arable crop farmers from each of the 2 states making a total of 400 farmers. The field survey took place between December 2014 and February 2015. Information was collected on farmers’ socio-economic, environmental, cultural and institutional variables. The data were subjected to descriptive analysis. The study revealed that the predominant movements by farmers induced by climate change were to other livelihood activities such as trading, artisanal jobs and farming of other agricultural crops. The common feature about the pattern of the movements is that they are rural-based and have capacity to generate additional incomes to support primary crop production. The study recommended increased investment on wells, boreholes and other infrastructure that can support provision of water by farmers and government at all levels, as well as increased investment on other non-farm income generating activities by farmers.

description: The computational cost of fluid simulations increases rapidly with grid resolution. This has given a hard limit on the ability of simulations to accurately resolve small scale features of complex flows. Here we use a machine learning approach to learn a numerical discretization that retains high accuracy even when the solution is under-resolved with classical methods. We apply this approach to passive scalar advection in a two-dimensional turbulent flow. The method maintains the same accuracy as traditional high-order flux-limited advection solvers, while using 4x lower grid resolution in each dimension. The machine learning component is tightly integrated with traditional finite-volume schemes and can be trained via an end-to-end differentiable programming framework. The solver can achieve near-peak hardware utilization on CPUs and accelerators via convolutional filters. Code is available at https://github.com/google-research/data-driven-pdes.

description: Changing drought regimes are a rising threat to biodiversity, yet their impacts on wildlife vary greatly. Acknowledging the factors associated with these consequences brings novel insights into species vulnerability resulting from extreme climatic events and facilitates effective mitigation of climate change risks. Based on 319 observations from 29 peer-reviewed studies on birds—a well-monitored taxonomic group—we extract the responses of demographic metrics to droughts for 204 species across eight terrestrial biomes to examine the consequences of droughts. Based on relevant studies, we choose the factors potentially moderating bird demography under droughts, and complied the data for these factors from published datasets. A meta-analysis is performed to determine the drought effect on bird demography at individual and population levels, accounting for the influence of species traits, timescale and severity of droughts, and biome features. The results show that droughts have an overall negative effect on bird demography, and the effect is mediated by different factors at each level. For individuals exposed to droughts, declines in demographic rates are found to be related to narrower extents of occurrence of species, and a significant overall reduction in demographic rates is identified for individuals residing in deserts and xeric shrublands. At the population level, declines in abundance or reproductive performance are generally identified for invertivores, frugivores, nectarivores, and omnivores; short-lived species with small clutch sizes also show greater susceptibilities under the impacts of droughts. Our findings additionally suggest that the demographic vulnerability of bird individuals and populations could be affected by the duration and magnitude of drought episodes. Although our results are subject to publication bias, these conclusions advance the assessment of vulnerability to extreme climatic events that used to be based on equally weighted species traits and support bird conservation by prioritizing the declining populations of species with drought-susceptible traits.

description: Onsager's relations allow one to express the second law of thermodynamics in terms of the underlying associated currents. These relations, however, are usually valid only close to equilibrium. Using a quantum phase space formulation of the second law, we show that open bosonic Gaussian systems also obey a set of Onsager relations, valid arbitrarily far from equilibrium. These relations, however, are found to be given by a more complex non-linear function, which reduces to the usual quadratic form close to equilibrium. This non-linearity implies that far from equilibrium, there exists a fundamental asymmetry between entropy flow from system to bath and vice-versa. The ramifications of this for applications in driven-dissipative quantum optical setups are also discussed.

description: Recent observations have shown that debris flows containing fine particles in volcanic regions exhibit greater mobility compared to stony debris flows. Recent researches have described that greater mobility occurred from fine sediment phase shift from solid phase to fluid phase in debris flow. In Japan, debris-flow research and sabo or erosion control planning widely apply the equilibrium concentration methods proposed by Takahashi. For considering fine sediment phase shift with the equilibrium method, it is proposed to set high fluid density. However, the mechanism of phase shift and behaviours of debris flows with fine sediment, are not fully understood. In this study, we conducted hydraulic experiments with sediment particles of two different diameters, defined as fine sediment and coarse sediment. We applied the equilibrium methods and took into account the increased fluid phase density due to the sediment phase shift to fluid. From the results, we found that part of the fine particles contribute to the increase in the fluid phase density. When conducting experiments, not only fine sediment, but some parts of coarse sediment behaved as a fluid. For considering the shift of sediment to fluid phase in debris flows, we presumed that the flow turbulence in debris flow affected. Regarding the sediment concentration, higher total sediment (coarse and fine) concentration increased the fluid phase density. A larger ratio of coarse sediment increased the fluid phase density more than when sediment contained only fine particles. It was speculated to occur from the flow turbulence owing to the mixture condition. Cases with smaller total sediment discharge showed higher fluid phase density though in same sediment concentration. We also found that the larger dimensionless tractive force showed a smaller ratio behaving as fluid phase, which was in contrast with the trends in recent studies.

description: Let $K$ denote a field and let $V$ denote a vector space over $K$ with finite positive dimension. We consider a pair of linear transformations $A:V\to V$ and $A^*:V\to V$ that satisfy both conditions below: (i) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A$ is diagonal, and the matrix representing $A^*$ is irreducible tridiagonal. (ii) There exists a basis for $V$ with respect to which the matrix representing $A^*$ is diagonal, and the matrix representing $A$ is irreducible tridiagonal. We call such a pair a Leonard pair on $V$. Refining this notion a bit, we introduce the concept of a Leonard system. We give a complete classification of Leonard systems. We discuss how Leonard systems correspond to the $q$-Racah and related polynomials from the Askey scheme.

description: Background: With rapid urbanization, the urban environment, especially the neighborhood environment, has received increasing global attention. However, a comprehensive overview of the association between neighborhood risk factors and human health remains unclear due to the large number of neighborhood risk factor–human health outcome pairs. Method: On the basis of a whole year of panel discussions, we first obtained a list of 5 neighborhood domains, containing 33 uniformly defined neighborhood risk factors. We only focused on neighborhood infrastructure-related risk factors with the potential for spatial interventions through urban design tools. Subsequently, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a systematic meta-review of 17 infrastructure-related risk factors of the 33 neighborhood risk factors (e.g., green and blue spaces, proximity to major roads, and proximity to landfills) was conducted using four databases, Web of Science, PubMed, OVID, and Cochrane Library, from January 2000 to May 2021, and corresponding evidence for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) was synthesized. The review quality was assessed according to the A MeaSurement Tool to Assess Systematic Reviews (AMSTAR) standard. Results: Thirty-three moderate-and high-quality reviews were included in the analysis. Thirteen major NCD outcomes were found to be associated with neighborhood infrastructure-related risk factors. Green and blue spaces or walkability had protective effects on human health. In contrast, proximity to major roads, industry, and landfills posed serious threats to human health. Inconsistent results were obtained for four neighborhood risk factors: facilities for physical and leisure activities, accessibility to infrastructure providing unhealthy food, proximity to industry, and proximity to major roads. Conclusions: This meta-review presents a comprehensive overview of the effects of neighborhood infrastructure-related risk factors on NCDs. Findings on the risk factors with strong evidence can help improve healthy city guidelines and promote urban sustainability. In addition, the unknown or uncertain association between many neighborhood risk factors and certain types of NCDs requires further research.

description: Of the two stable forms of graphite, hexagonal (HG) and rhombohedral (RG), the former is more common and has been studied extensively. RG is less stable, which so far precluded its detailed investigation, despite many theoretical predictions about the abundance of exotic interaction-induced physics. Advances in van der Waals heterostructure technology have now allowed us to make high-quality RG films up to 50 graphene layers thick and study their transport properties. We find that the bulk electronic states in such RG are gapped and, at low temperatures, electron transport is dominated by surface states. Because of topological protection, the surface states are robust and of high quality, allowing the observation of the quantum Hall effect, where RG exhibits phase transitions between gapless semimetallic phase and gapped quantum spin Hall phase with giant Berry curvature. An energy gap can also be opened in the surface states by breaking their inversion symmetry via applying a perpendicular electric field. Moreover, in RG films thinner than 4 nm, a gap is present even without an external electric field. This spontaneous gap opening shows pronounced hysteresis and other signatures characteristic of electronic phase separation, which we attribute to emergence of strongly-correlated electronic surface states.

title: Literature, Migration and the Transnationalisation of Literary Fields – Austria and Great Britain
Creators: name: Vlasta, Sandra
Publisher: name: Transnational 20th Century. Literatures, Arts and Cultures
Year: 2018

description: This article focuses on the transnationalisation of literary fields that has been taking place since the emergence of literature by migrant writers. This development occurred earlier in some national contexts and later in others. Independent of the historical evolution, however, the presence of migrant authors and their writings caused major changes in literary fields: authors have different cultural and linguistic backgrounds than the majority of their readers, the texts are set in far-away places; thus, also literary critics and scholars start to look into new topics and regions and readers are eventually confronted with new worlds. Consequently, transnationalisation also has political implications. However, it has not encompassed all aspects of the literary field. In fact, the individual and different histories of literature and migration in various national contexts show that the national frame is still a powerful and influential aspect. This paper discusses two examples – Austria and Great Britain – of the described transnationalisation and examines the role still held by national frames in literary fields.

description: Recently long-lived high spin super- and hyperdeformed isomeric states with unusual radioactive decay properties have been discovered. Based on these newly observed modes of radioactive decay, consistent interpretations are suggested for previously unexplained phenomena seen in nature. These are the Po halos, the low-energy enhanced 4.5 MeV alpha-particle group proposed to be due to an isotope of a superheavy element with Z = 108, and the giant halos.

description: We report on a single-mode photonic crystal fiber with attenuation and effective area at 1550 nm of 0.48 dB/km and 130 square-micron, respectively. This is, to our knowledge, the lowest loss reported for a PCF not made from VAD prepared silica and at the same time the largest effective area for a low-loss (< 1 dB/km) PCF. We briefly discuss the future applications of PCFs for data transmission and show for the first time, both numerically and experimentally, how the group velocity dispersion is related to the mode field diameter
