description: We argue for an operational requirement that all state-dependent measures of disturbance should satisfy. Motivated by this natural criterion, we prove that in any $d$-dimensional Hilbert space and for any pair of non-commuting operators, $A$ and $B$, there exists a set of at least $2^{d-1}$ zero-noise, zero-disturbance (ZNZD) states, for which the first observable can be measured without noise and the second will not be disturbed. Moreover, we show that it is possible to construct such ZNZD states for which the expectation value of the commutator $[A,B]$ does not vanish. Therefore any state-dependent error-disturbance relation, based on the expectation value of the commutator as a lower bound, must violate the operational requirement. We also discuss Ozawa's state-dependent error-disturbance relation in light of our results and show that the disturbance measure used in this relation exhibits unphysical properties. We conclude that the trade-off is inevitable only between state-independent measures of error and disturbance.

description: A search is presented for dark matter pair production in association with a W or Z boson in pp collisions representing 20.3 fb-1 of integrated luminosity at sqrt(s)=8 TeV using data recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with a hadronic jet with the jet-mass consistent with a W or Z boson, and with large missing transverse momentum are analyzed. The data are consistent with the Standard Model expectations, and limits are set on the mass scale in effective field theories that describe the interaction of dark matter and Standard Model particles.

description: We present results expressing conditions for the existence of meromorphic first integrals for Pfaff equations of arbitrary codimension, integrable or not, on complex manifolds. These results are in the same vein as previous ones by J-P. Jouanolou and E. Ghys. We also prove an enumerative result counting the number of hypersurfaces invariant by a projective holomorphic foliation with split tangent sheaf.

description: We propose a novel quantum spin liquid state that can explain many of the intriguing experimental properties of the low-temperature phase of the organic spin liquid candidate materials. This state of paired fermionic spinons preserves all symmetries of the system, and it has a gapless excitation spectrum with quadratic bands that touch at momentum ~ k = 0. This quadratic band touching is protected by the symmetry of the system. Using variational Monte Carlo techniques, we show that this state has highly competitive energy in the triangular lattice Heisenberg model supplemented with a realistically large ring-exchange term.

title: Spatial modelling of insect-delivered ecosystem services
Creators: name: Redhead, John William
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2020

description: Insects are integral to many ecosystem services, including pollination of crops by insect pollinators and control of pests by natural enemies (i.e. predators and parasites). These beneficial insects are suffering widespread declines, partly due to agricultural expansion and intensification. We must therefore change the management of agricultural landscapes to preserve these ecosystem services and the resilience of the systems that depend on them. To make such changes, we first need to understand the relationships between landscapes, beneficial insect communities and the delivery of the services they provide. This thesis focuses on analysing novel combinations of large-scale spatial datasets to explore these relationships. Firstly, a ten-year time-series of wheat yield data was analysed in conjunction with satellite�derived land cover data to explore national-scale relationships between crop yield resilience and landscape structure. Whilst relative yield was highest in landscapes dominated by arable land, stability and resistance were promoted by semi-natural habitats. Secondly, data from biological recording schemes were used to construct potential plant-pollinator networks across Great Britain and explore relationships between network structure and land cover. Networks were most robust to simulated extinctions in highly agricultural landscapes, because they supported distinctive, generalist pollinator communities. Finally, data on land cover and cropping patterns were used to develop a range of scenarios of agricultural change. These were linked to beneficial insect richness and functional diversity using species distribution models based on biological records. Scenarios involving restoration of semi-natural grasslands increased the richness and functional diversity of beneficial insects, even if cropped land remained intensive. The findings presented in this thesis demonstrate the value of combining and modelling spatial data in exploring insect-delivered ecosystem services. Whilst there is much scope for further work, including integration with experimental data, spatial modelling remains key to providing the large-scale evidence required by policy makers and agricultural land managers.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a complex pulmonary disease that causes airflow obstruction in humans. To identify the core genes in COPD pathogenesis, seven diverse microarray datasets (GSE475, GSE1122, GSE1650, GSE3212, GSE8823, GSE37768, and GSE22148) were downloaded from the gene expression omnibus database. All the datasets were analyzed independently with the R/Bioconductor package to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The gene ontology and pathway enrichment analysis were performed for the acquired DEGs using DAVID (Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery). Further protein-protein interaction network was constructed for the DEGs and their potential hub genes and sub-networks were identified using Cytoscape software. From the selected seven datasets, 188 overlapped DEGs were perceived eventually based on considering the repetitive genes between at-least one dataset. Gene Ontology analysis reveals that most of the DEGs were significantly enriched in immune response, inflammatory response, extracellular region, lipid binding, cytokine, and chemokine activity. Moreover, genes from the sub-network analysis were again submitted to the DAVID server to validate the results which uncover the Toll-like receptor signaling pathway was significantly enriched and all the genes present in this pathway were likewise detected as hub genes from Cytoscape software. CXCL9, CXCL10, CXCL11, CCL4, TLR7, and SPP1 hub genes in the toll-like receptor signaling pathway were explored in this study as potential biomarker genes associated with COPD pathogenesis.
Seeking for ultrashort "non-bonded" hydrogen-hydrogen contacts in some rigid hydrocarbons and their chlorinated derivatives

description: In this communication a systematic computational survey on some rigid hydrocarbon skeletons, e.g. half-cage pentacyclododecanes and tetracyclododecanes, and their chlorinated derivatives in order to seek for the so-called ultrashort "non-bonded" hydrogen-hydrogen contacts is done. It is demonstrated that upon a proper choice and modifications of the main hydrocarbon backbones, and addition of some chlorine atoms instead of the original hydrogen atoms in parts of the employed hydrocarbons, the resulting strain triggers structural changes yielding ultrashort hydrogen-hydrogen contacts with inter-nuclear distances as small as 1.38 Angstrom. Such ultrashort contacts are clearly less than the world record of an ultrashort non-bonded hydrogen-hydrogen contact, 1.56 Angstrom, very recently realized experimentally by Pascal and coworkers in in,in-bis(hydrosilane) [J. Am. Chem. Soc. 135, 13235 (2013)]. The resulting computed structures as well as the developed methodology for structure design open the door for constructing a proper set of molecules for future studies on the nature of the so-called non-bonded hydrogen-hydrogen interactions that is now an active and controversial area of research.

description: Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) is a standard physiological index of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but reflects emphysema and vascular abnormalities less sensitively than diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO). This study tested whether a disproportionally impaired DLCO relative to FEV1 (FEV1 z-score>-3 and DLCO z-score≤-3) is a common functional COPD phenotype associated with distinct clinical and structural features and the prognosis of two cohorts. The cross-sectional analyses of the Korea COPD Subgroup Study (KOCOSS) cohort (multicenter study in Korea) included 743 males with COPD whose DLCO was available. The cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses of the Kyoto University Cohort (single-center study in Japan) included 195 males with COPD who were prospectively followed for 10 years. A disproportionally impaired DLCO relative to FEV1 was observed in 29% and 31% of patients in the KOCOSS and Kyoto University cohorts, respectively. In the multivariable analysis, the disproportionally impaired DLCO was associated with worse symptoms, shorter 6-minute walking distance, paraseptal and centrilobular emphysema on computed tomography, and reduced arterial oxygen and carbon dioxide pressures compared to the reference (FEV1 z-score>-3 and DLCO z-score>-3). In the multivariable Cox proportional hazard model, a higher long-term mortality was observed in the disproportionally impaired DLCO group than in the reference group (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval] = 3.09 [1.52–6.29]) and similar to the DLCO z-score≤-3 and FEV1 z-score≤-3 group. The disproportionally impaired DLCO relative to FEV1 is common and associated with increased symptoms, emphysema, arterial blood gas abnormalities, and increased long-term mortality in patients with COPD.

description: Polybutene-1 (PB-1), a typical semicrystalline polymer, in its stable form I shows a peculiar temperature dependent strain-whitening behavior when being stretched at different temperatures where the extent of strain-whitening weakens with the increasing of stretching temperature reaching a minima value followed by an increase at higher stretching temperatures. Correspondingly, a stronger strain-hardening phenomenon was observed at higher stretching temperatures. The strain-whitening phenomenon in semicrystalline polymers has its origin of cavitation process during stretching. In this work, the effect of crystalline lamellar thickness and stretching temperature on the cavitation process in PB-1 has been investigated by means of combined synchrotron ultrasmall-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering techniques. It was found that, with respect to the cavitation process, three modes of cavitation during the stretching process can be identified, namely no cavitation for sample with the thinnest lamellae where only shear yielding occurred, cavitation with reorientation for the samples stretched at lower temperatures and samples with thicker lamellae, and cavitation without reorientation for samples with thinner lamellae stretched at higher temperatures. The mode cavitation with reorientation occurs before yield point where the plate-like cavities start to be generated within the lamellar stacks with normal perpendicular to the stretching direction due to the blocky substructure of the crystalline lamellae and reorient gradually to the stretching direction after strain-hardening. The mode of cavitation without reorientation appears after yield point where ellipsoidal shaped cavities are generated in those lamellae stacks with normal parallel to the stretching direction followed by an improvement of their orientation at larger strains.

description: Selecting valid and reliable PA assessments in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is crucial to ensure that the information obtained is accurate, valuable, and meaningful. The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the validity and reliability among PA assessments in COPD. An electronic database search of PubMed and CINAHL was completed in December 2019 using MeSH terms on physical activity, COPD, validation, and questionnaires. Transparency in reporting was assessed with the STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) checklist while methodological quality was assessed with the modified Quality Appraisal tool for Reliability studies (QAREL) for reliability studies and the Quality Appraisal of Validity Studies (QAVALS) for validity studies. The search yielded fifteen different measures. The Stanford 7-day recall (PAR) demonstrated the strongest correlations with SenseWear Armband on energy expenditure (r = 0.83; p r = 0.54, p r = 0.66–0.74). Assisted and computerized PRO measures (PAR and MARCA) and hybrid measures (C-PPAC and D-PPAC) demonstrate better psychometric properties as compared to other subjective measures and may be considered for quantification of PA in COPD. However, observations drawn from single validation studies limit strength of recommendations and further research is needed to replicate the findings.

Let $V$ denote an $n$-dimensional vector space over $\GF(q)$ and let $\mathbf{v}$ be an unknown 1-dimensional subspace of $V$. We will be interested in determining the minimum number of queries that is needed to find $\mathbf{v}$ provided all queries are subspaces of $V$ and the answer to a query $U$ is YES if $\mathbf{v} \leqslant U$ and NO if $\mathbf{v} \not\leqslant U$. This number will be denoted by $A(n,q)$ in the adaptive case (when for each queries answers are obtained immediately and later queries might depend on previous answers) and $M(n,q)$ in the non-adaptive case (when all queries must be made in advance). In the case $n=3$ we prove $2q-1=A(3,q)

description: Six-minute walk test (6MWT) measures walking distance (6MWD) and desaturation status in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. This study aimed to examine whether change in 6MWD and desaturation in 1 year were risk factors for later mortality, lung function decline and number of exacerbations. A total of 295 COPD patients performed 6MWT at baseline and 1 year later in the Bergen COPD cohort study 2006–2011. They were clinically examined and interviewed at annual visits. Mortality information was collected from the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry in 2015. We performed cox regression for mortality outcomes, linear mixed effect models for lung function, and negative binomial regression for exacerbations. Patients who desaturated in both 6MWTs had increased risk of all-cause and respiratory mortality, hazard ratio (HR) 2.7 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.5–5.0) and 3.6 (95% CI 1.7–7.6), respectively, compared to non-desaturators. Patients who desaturated only at second 6MWT were at risk for all-cause mortality (HR 2.0, 95% CI 1.0–3.8). There were no apparent association between 6MWD and mortality. Desaturation in second 6MWT was associated with later increased rate of decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) % predicted (after 1 year predicted mean 4.2% above non-desaturators, after 5 years 0.7% below). Decline in 6MWD ≥ 30m was borderline (p = 0.06) associated with later decline in forced expiratory volume in 1 second % predicted, and with exacerbations (p = 0.07). Repeated desaturation in the 6MWT over time in COPD patients is a risk factor for all-cause and respiratory mortality, while onset of desaturation is associated with future FVC decline.

description: Aims: We used 12,530 photometrically-selected blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to estimate the total extinction of the Milky Way at the high Galactic latitudes, $R_V$ and $A_V$ in each line of sight. Methods: A Bayesian method was developed to estimate the reddening values in the given lines of sight. Based on the most likely values of reddening in multiple colors, we were able to derive the values of $R_V$ and $A_V$. Results: We selected 94 zero-reddened BHB stars from seven globular clusters as the template. The reddening in the four SDSS colors for the northern Galactic cap were estimated by comparing the field BHB stars with the template stars. The accuracy of this estimation is around 0.01\,mag for most lines of sight. We also obtained $$ to be around 2.40$\pm1.05$ and $A_V$ map within an uncertainty of 0.1\,mag. The results, including reddening values in the four SDSS colors, $A_V$, and $R_V$ in each line of sight, are released on line. In this work, we employ an up-to-date parallel technique on GPU card to overcome time-consuming computations. We plan to release online the C++ CUDA code used for this analysis. Conclusions: The extinction map derived from BHB stars is highly consistent with that from Schlegel, Finkbeiner & Davis(1998). The derived $R_V$ is around 2.40$\pm1.05$. The contamination probably makes the $R_V$ be larger.

description: The existence of bound states of the system $(\al,e,e,e)$ in a magnetic field $B$ is studied using the variational method. It is shown that for $B \gtrsim 0.13\,{\rm a.u.}$ this system gets bound with total energy below the one of the $(\al,e,e)$ system. It manifests the existence of the stable He$^-$ atomic ion. Its ground state is a spin-doublet $^2(-1)^{+}$ at $0.74\, {\rm a.u.} \gtrsim B \gtrsim 0.13\, {\rm a.u.}$ and it becomes a spin-quartet $^4(-3)^{+}$ for larger magnetic fields. For $0.8\, {\rm a.u.} \gtrsim B \gtrsim 0.7\, {\rm a.u.}$ the He$^-$ ion has two (stable) bound states $^2(-1)^{+}$ and $^4(-3)^{+}$.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complex, multidimensional and heterogeneous disease. The main purpose of the present study was to identify clinical phenotypes through cluster analysis in adults suffering from COPD. A retrospective study was conducted on 178 COPD patients in stable state recruited from ambulatory care at University hospital of Liege. All patients were above 40 years, had a smoking history of more than 20 pack years, post bronchodilator FEV1/FVC <70% and denied any history of asthma before 40 years. In this study, the patients were described by a total of 84 mixed sets of variables with some missing values. Hierarchical clustering on principal components (HCPC) was applied on multiple imputation. In the final step, patients were classified into homogeneous distinct groups by consensus clustering. Three different clusters, which shared similar smoking history were found. Cluster 1 included men with moderate airway obstruction (n = 67) while cluster 2 comprised men who were exacerbation-prone, with severe airflow limitation and intense granulocytic airway and neutrophilic systemic inflammation (n = 56). Cluster 3 essentially included women with moderate airway obstruction (n = 55). All clusters had a low rate of bacterial colonization (5%), a low median FeNO value (<20 ppb) and a very low sensitization rate toward common aeroallergens (0-5%). CAT score did not differ between clusters. Including markers of systemic airway inflammation and atopy and applying a comprehensive cluster analysis we provide here evidence for 3 clusters markedly shaped by sex, airway obstruction and neutrophilic inflammation but not by symptoms and T2 biomarkers.

description: We consider the possible phases of microcavity polaritons tuned near a bipolariton Feshbach resonance. We show that, as well as the regular polariton superfluid phase, a "molecular" superfluid exists, with (quasi-)long-range order only for pairs of polaritons. We describe the experimental signatures of this state. Using variational approaches we find the phase diagram (critical temperature, density and exciton-photon detuning). Unlike ultracold atoms, the molecular superfluid is not inherently unstable, and our phase diagram suggests it is attainable in current experiments.

description: A search for Supernova Relic Neutrinos $\barν_e$'s is first conducted via inverse-beta-decay by tagging neutron capture on hydrogen at Super-Kamiokande-IV. The neutron tagging efficiency is determined to be $(17.74\pm0.04_{stat.}\pm1.05_{sys.})%$, while the corresponding accidental background probability is $(1.06\pm0.01_{stat.}\pm 0.18_{sys.})$%. Using 960 days of data, we obtain 13 inverse-beta-decay candidates in the range of $E_{\barν_e}$ between 13.3 MeV and 31.3 MeV. All of the observed candidates are attributed to background. Upper limits at 90% C.L. are calculated in the absence of a signal.

description: A novel polar coordinate lattice Boltzmann kinetic model for detonation phenomena is presented and applied to investigate typical implosion and explosion processes. In this model, the change of discrete distribution function due to local chemical reaction is dynamically coupled into in the modified lattice Boltzmann equation, which could recovery the Navier-Stokes equations, including contribution of chemical reaction, via the Chapman-Enskog expansion. For the numerical investigations, the main focuses are the nonequilibrium behaviors in these processes. The system at the disc center is always in its thermodynamic equilibrium. The internal kinetic energies in different degrees freedoms around the detonation front do not coincide due to the fluid viscosity. They show the maximum difference at the inflexion point where the pressure has the largest spatial derivative. The dependence of the reaction rate on the pressure, influences of the shock strength and reaction rate on the departure amplitude of the system from its local thermodynamic equilibrium are probed.

description: Unlike hot Jupiters or other gas giants, super-Earths are expected to have a wide variety of compositions, ranging from terrestrial bodies like our own to more gaseous planets like Neptune. Observations of transiting systems, which allow us to directly measure planet masses and radii and constrain atmospheric properties, are key to understanding the compositional diversity of the planets in this mass range. Although Kepler has discovered hundreds of transiting super-Earth candidates over the past four years, the majority of these planets orbit stars that are too far away and too faint to allow for detailed atmospheric characterization and reliable mass estimates. Ground-based transit surveys focus on much brighter stars, but most lack the sensitivity to detect planets in this size range. One way to get around the difficulty of finding these smaller planets in transit is to start by choosing targets that are already known to contain super-Earth sized bodies detected using the radial velocity technique. Here we present results from a Spitzer program to observe six of the most favorable RV detected super-Earth systems, including HD 1461, HD 7924, HD 156668, HIP 57274, and GJ 876. We find no evidence for transits in any of their 4.5 micron flux light curves, and place limits on the allowed transit depths and corresponding planet radii that rule out even the most dense and iron-rich compositions for these objects. We also observed HD 97658, but the observation window was based on a possible ground-based transit detection (Henry et al. 2011) that was later ruled out; thus the window did not include the predicted time for the transit detection recently made by MOST (Dragomir et al. 2013).

description: The usefulness of the oscillometry, known as forced oscillation technique, for predicting exercise tolerance in subjects with COPD is unknown. To test the hypothesis, we investigated whether oscillometry could predict a 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) <350 m in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT). This was a prospective, observational study. Fifty-seven subjects with COPD who attended outpatient clinics for routine checkups at Shizuoka General Hospital between April 2015 and April 2016 (54 males; median age, 70 years; and þV1, 61.0%). Modified MRC dyspnea scale (mMRC), COPD Assessment Test (CAT), oscillometry, spirometry, and 6MWT were performed in a stable condition. The participants were classified into subjects with 6MWD ≥350 m or 6MWD <350 m, and the predictor of 6MWD <350 m was assessed. Of the 57 total subjects, 43 (75.4%) had a 6MWD ≥350 m, and 14 (24.6%) had a 6MWD <350 m. Between the two groups, there were significant differences in mMRC scale, GOLD stages, CAT scores, FEV1, IC, 6MWD, lowest SpO2, maximum Borg scale, respiratory resistance (Rrs), and reactance (Xrs). In multivariate regression analysis, a 6MWD <350 m was independently predicted by CAT scores (OR 1.15, 95% CI: 1.01–1.30) and inspiratory R5 (OR 6.01, 95% CI: 1.09–33.30). In receiver operating characteristic curves, the area under the curve was 0.76, 0.78, and 0.85 for CAT scores, R5, and CAT scores + R5, respectively, with the best cutoff value of 17 and 2.82 cmH20/L/s. In conclusion, the oscillatory parameter, inspiratory R5, predicted low exercise tolerance in COPD subjects.

description: We discuss the appearance of quark matter in neutron star cores', focussing on the possibility that the recent observation of a very heavy neutron star could constrain free parameters of quark matter models. For that, we use the equation of state derived with the Field Correlator Method, extended to the zero temperature limit, whereas for the hadronic phase we use the equation of state obtained within both the non-relativistic and the relativistic Brueckner-Hartree-Fock many-body theory. We find a strong dependence of the maximum mass both on the value of the q\bar q interaction V_1, and on the gluon condensate G_2, for which we introduce a dependence on the baryon chemical potential mu_B. We find that the maximum masses are consistent with the observational limit for not too small values of V_1.
