description: The 802.11E Task Group has been established to enhance Quality of Service (QoS) provision for time-bounded services in the current IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol. The QoS is introduced throughout Hybrid Coordination Function Controlled Channel Access (HCCA) for the rigorous QoS provision. In HCCA, the station is allocated a fixed Transmission Opportunity (TXOP) based on its TSPEC parameters so that it is efficient for Constant Bit Rate streams. However, as the profile of Variable Bit Rate (VBR) traffics is inconstant, they are liable to experience a higher delay especially in bursty traffic case. In this paper, we present a dynamic TXOP assignment algorithm called Adaptive Multi-polling TXOP scheduling algorithm (AMTXOP) for supporting the video traffics transmission over IEEE 802.11e wireless networks. This scheme invests a piggybacked information about the size of the subsequent video frames of the uplink streams to assist the Hybrid Coordinator accurately assign the TXOP according to actual change in the traffic profile. The proposed scheduler is powered by integrating multi-polling scheme to further reduce the delay and polling overhead. Extensive simulation experiments have been carried out to show the efficiency of the AMTXOP over the existing schemes in terms of the packet delay and the channel utilization.

description: We use 3035 Herschel-SPIRE 500$μ$m sources from 20.3 sq deg of sky in the HerMES Lockman, ES1 and XMM-LSS areas to estimate the star-formation rate density at z = 1-6. 500 mu sources are associated first with 350 and 250 mu sources, and then with Spitzer 24 mu sources from the SWIRE photometric redshift catalogue. The infrared and submillimetre data are fitted with a set of radiative-transfer templates corresponding to cirrus (quiescent) and starburst galaxies. Lensing candidates are removed via a set of colour-colour and colour-redshift constraints. Star-formation rates are found to extend from < 1 to 20,000 Mo/yr. Such high values were also seen in the all-sky IRAS Faint Source Survey. Star-formation rate functions are derived in a series of redshift bins from 0-6, combined with earlier far-infrared estimates, where available, and fitted with a Saunders et al (1990) functional form. The star-formation-rate density as a function of redshift is derived and compared with other estimates. There is reasonable agreement with both infrared and ultraviolet estimates for z < 3, but we find higher star-formation-rate densities than ultraviolet estimates at z = 3-6. Given the considerable uncertainties in the submillimetre estimates, we can not rule out the possibility that the ultraviolet estimates are correct. But the possibility that the ultraviolet estimates have seriously underestimated the contribution of dust-shrouded star-formation can also not be excluded.

Predicting Early-Career Engineers’ Occupational Leaving Cognitions

Subjects: subject: Social and Behavioral Sciences

description: Every year, employers in the United Kingdom (UK) lack more than 37,000 early-career staff to fill core engineering jobs (EngineeringUK, 2018). Though this issue is mainly caused by insufficient numbers of students graduating from engineering-related university courses, it is exacerbated by high attrition rates among successful graduates. In other words, too many qualified graduates eventually leave the engineering sector in order to take up non-engineering jobs (Fouad et al., 2016). Though high rates of post-graduation attrition among early-career engineers have long been observed (e.g., Rynes, 1987), the phenomenon’s underlying causes remain poorly understood. Equally unclear is why post-graduation attrition is particularly high in early-career women engineers (Frehill, 2013). The current project sets out to address these and related questions.
On the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation with arbitrary nonlinearity and dimensionality: exact solutions, longtime asymptotics of the Cauchy problem, wave breaking and discontinuous shocks

description: We study the generalization of the dispersionless Kadomtsev - Petviashvili (dKP) equation in n+1 dimensions and with nonlinearity of degree m+1, a model equation describing the propagation of weakly nonlinear, quasi one dimensional waves in the absence of dispersion and dissipation, and arising in several physical contexts, like acoustics, plasma physics, hydrodynamics and nonlinear optics. In 2+1 dimensions and with quadratic nonlinearity, this equation is integrable through a novel IST, and it has been recently shown to be a prototype model equation in the description of the two dimensional wave breaking of localized initial data. In higher dimensions and with higher nonlinearity, the generalized dKP equations are not integrable, but their invariance under motions on the paraboloid allows one to construct in this paper a family of exact solutions describing waves constant on their paraboloidal wave front and breaking simultaneously in all points of it, developing after breaking either multivaluedness or single valued discontinuous shocks. Then such exact solutions are used to build the longtime behavior of the solutions of the Cauchy problem, for small and localized initial data, showing that wave breaking of small initial data takes place in the longtime regime if and only if $m(n-1)\le 2$. At last, the analytic aspects of such a wave breaking are investigated in detail in terms of the small initial data, in both cases in which the solution becomes multivalued after breaking or it develops a discontinuous shock. These results, contained in the 2012 master thesis of one of the authors (FS), generalize those obtained by one of the authors (PMS) and S.V.Manakov for the dKP equation in n+1 dimensions with quadratic nonlinearity, and are obtained following the same strategy.

description: The complexity and cost of building and running high-power electrical systems make the use of simulations unavoidable. The simulations available today provide great understanding about how systems really operate. This paper helps the reader to gain an insight into simulation in the field of power converters for particle accelerators. Starting with the definition and basic principles of simulation, two simulation types, as well as their leading tools, are presented: analog and numerical simulations. Some practical applications of each simulation type are also considered. The final conclusion then summarizes the main important items to keep in mind before opting for a simulation tool or before performing a simulation.

Some properties of dark matter field in the complex octonion space
Creators: name: Weng, Zi-Hua
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper aims to consider the electromagnetic adjoint-field in the complex octonion space as the dark matter field, describing some properties of dark matter, especially the origin, particle category, existence region, and force and so forth. Since J. C. Maxwell applied the algebra of quaternions to depict the electromagnetic theory, some scholars adopt the complex quaternion and octonion to study the physics property of electromagnetic and gravitational fields. In the paper, by means of the octonion operator, it is found that the gravitational field accompanies with one adjoint-field, which property is partly similar to that of electromagnetic field. And the electromagnetic field accompanies with another adjoint-field, which feature is partly similar to that of gravitational field. As a result the electromagnetic adjoint-field is able to be chosen as one candidate of the dark matter field. According to the electromagnetic adjoint-field, it is able to predict a few properties of dark matter, for instance, the particle category, interaction intensity, interaction distance, and existence region and so forth. The study reveals that the dark matter particle and gravitational resource both will be influenced by the gravitational strength and force. The dark matter field is capable of making a contribution to physics quantities of gravitational field, including the angular momentum, torque, energy, and force and so on. Further there may be comparatively more chances to discover the dark matter in some regions with the ultrastrong field strength, surrounding the neutral star, white dwarf, galactic nucleus, black hole, and astrophysical jet and so on.

description: Aggregate changes in forms of vertical coordination in agriculture proceed slowly even when striking changes occur in individual farm commodities. Judgment estimates of the proportion of total farm production under some form of either contracting or vertical integration show an increase from about 19 to 22 percent of all farm output from 1960 to 1970, a shift of 3 percentage points. More increase in these forms of coordination took place in livestock than in crop products, especially in fed cattle, eggs, and turkeys.

Source of the Kerr-Newman Solution as a Supersymmetric Domain-Wall Bubble: 50 years of the problem

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We consider the chiral field model of the source of the Kerr-Newman (KN) solution and obtain that it represents a supersymmetric spinning soliton, bounded by the chiral domain wall (DW) of the ellipsoidal form. The known method for transformation of the planar DW to Bogomolnyi form we generalize to the curved DW-bubble adapted to the Kerr coordinate system and obtain the supersymmetric BPS-saturated source of the KN solution, having some remarkable features, in particular, the quantum angular momentum. The main new result is that the source forms a breather, i.e. the DW-antiDW combination. Taking into account that the KN solution describes the spinning particles with gyromagnetic ratio g = 2, as that of the Dirac electron, we touch the problem of the compatibility of the spinning particles with gravity.

description: Development of refrigerators based on Thermoacoustic technology is a novel solution to the present day need of cooling without causing environmental hazards. With added advantages of absence of moving parts and circulating refrigerants, these devices can attain very low temperatures maintaining a compact size. The present theoretical work is based on theory of linear thermoacoustics[1]. Under the short stack and invicid assumptions, an algorithm for design of a standing wave thermoacoustic refrigerator, with main focus on the stack, is described. A stack is designed for a given cooling requirement of the refrigerator and certain chosen operation parameters.

Transition metal catalysed trifluoromethylation using trifluoromethyl iodide

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Described herein are a variety of experimental and computational data obtained in the exploration and optimisation of a novel trifluoromethylation reaction. This involved the palladium catalysed Suzuki cross-coupling of trifluoromethyl iodide with boronic acids to yield trifluoromethylated products. Initial efforts focused on the optimisation of reaction conditions, however, despite extensive screening, poor yields were invariably encountered. Additionally, these early experiments revealed the formation of unexpected catalyst decomposition products, as well the extensive trifluoromethylation of solvent C-H bonds. Subsequent computational analysis provided insight into the formation of various catalytic intermediates and potential decomposition pathways, and ultimately suggested catalyst decomposition was occurring via solvent C-H activation. Based on this finding, the circumvention of catalyst decomposition and unwanted side-reactivity through the use of perfluorinated solvents was trialled. While this largely eliminated unwanted reactivity, the desired Suzuki cross-coupling reaction remained sluggish. This represented an area of improvement for future work. With this considered, the striking activity of this catalyst system towards C-H bonds was also acknowledged as valuable. As such, the directing group assisted trifluoromethylation of various substrates through C-H activation was also examined. Finally, this system was extended to nickel catalysts, providing a unique and mechanistically insightful example of a nickel catalysed trifluoromethylation.

description: Simulations predict that hot super-Earth sized exoplanets can have their envelopes stripped by photo-evaporation, which would present itself as a lack of these exoplanets. However, this absence in the exoplanet population has escaped a firm detection. Here we demonstrate, using asteroseismology on a sample of exoplanets and exoplanet candidates observed during the Kepler mission that, while there is an abundance of super-Earth sized exoplanets with low incident fluxes, none are found with high incident fluxes. We do not find any exoplanets with radii between 2.2 and 3.8 Earth radii with incident flux above 650 times the incident flux on Earth. This gap in the population of exoplanets is explained by evaporation of volatile elements and thus supports the predictions. The confirmation of a hot-super-Earth desert caused by evaporation will add an important constraint on simulations of planetary systems, since they must be able to reproduce the dearth of close-in super-Earths.

The professional and personal experience of genetic counselors with dual graduate degrees
Creators: name: Mattingly, Jordan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Research on genetic counseling professional development is not a new area of interest. In the past, research on professional development focused mainly on the experiences of genetic counselors with ClinDs and PhDs because there was interest in developing doctorate-level genetic counseling training programs (Atzinger et al., 2007; Nagy et al., 2015; Reiser et al., 2014). Although the field ultimately decided against the creation of doctorate-level training programs, genetic counselors are individually pursuing different ways of earning advanced skills (Baty, 2018; Reiser et al., 2015). One way of earning advanced skills is by earning a dual graduate degree in a field other than genetic counseling. The purpose of this research is to add to the existing knowledge base on professional development by (1) exploring motivations for pursuing dual-degrees; (2) understanding challenges and barriers genetic counselors faced while pursuing their dual graduate degrees; (3) exploring how genetic counselors who hold dual degrees, one in genetic counseling and one in another field (i.e., MPH, MA, MBA, MSW, PhD, DrPH, etc.), integrate their dual-degree into their careers; and (4) assessing the impact of a dual-degree on professional development including promotions and salary. We found that genetic counselors with dual graduate degrees were motivated by specific career goals, despite being challenged by financial burdens and competing responsibilities. In addition, genetic counselors utilized their dual degrees in a variety of different ways and reported an overall positive impact on their self-assessment of their skill profiles.

description: Swarming behavior continues to be a subject of immense interest because of its centrality in many naturally occurring systems in physics and biology, as well as its importance in applications such as robotics. Here we examine the effects on swarm pattern formation from delayed communication and topological heterogeneity, and in particular, the inclusion of a relatively small number of highly connected nodes, or "motherships", in a swarm's communication network. We find generalized forms of basic patterns for networks with general degree distributions, and a variety of new behaviors including new parameter regions with multi-stability and hybrid motions in bimodal networks. The latter is an interesting example of how heterogeneous networks can have dynamics that is a mix of different states in homogeneous networks, where high and low-degree nodes have simultaneously distinct behavior.
Validation of the Alliance Sleep Questionnaire for Screening Obstructive Sleep Apnea Compared to Gold Standard In-Lab Polysomnography Study
Creators: name: Davidenko, Polina
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Sleep apnea syndromes

description: Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing disorder and is associated with various health repercussions. Given the high prevalence of OSA, diagnosis needs to be better streamlined to get individuals the care they need to improve their overall wellbeing. The current gold standard for diagnosing sleep disordered breathing requires patients to have an overnight in-lab polysomnography (PSG). The purpose of this validation study was to evaluate which questions from the self-reported Alliance Sleep Questionnaire (ASQ) have diagnostic utility for screening sleep apnea. 
Methods: The sample used a research study cohort of individuals who completed a PSG and filled out the ASQ (n = 735 females, n = 631 males) of who were n = 439 no apnea, n = 443 mild apnea, n = 262 moderate apnea and n = 222 severe sleep apnea. Logistic regression models were used to identify relevant ASQ questions associated with apnea to find correlations, create regression models, classification trees and the area under the curve (AUC) for the final models (backward selection).
Results: The results of this study found that sex, BMI, and the primary complaint of loud snoring were the most predictive variables for sleep apnea. For all severities, (mild, moderate, and severe) being male was a strong predictor with odds ratios (OR) of 2.31, 3.92 and 4.69 respectively. BMI was split into three groups: normal weight, overweight and obese. Across all severities the odds ratios increased with weight category. The overweight group had OR’s of 1.44 for mild, 1.75 for moderate and 2.87 for severe. Similarly, the obese group had OR’s of 1.60 for mild, 2.79 for moderate and 8.68 for severe. Lastly, the primary complaint of snoring had OR’s of 1.89, 3.73 and 7.93 for mild,
moderate, and severe apnea. AUC for the final models were 0.69, 0.79 and 0.88 (mild, moderate, and severe).
Conclusions: Using the ASQ questionnaire to screen for sleep apnea and predict severity is possible using a specific subset of questions. There is need to replicate these findings in a community-based sample before it can be implemented into clinical practice.

description: The $^{9}$Be($^{14}$C, $α$$γ$) reaction at E$_{Lab}$=30 and 35 MeV was used to study excited states of $^{19}$O. The Florida State University (FSU) $γ$ detector array was used to detect $γ$ radiation in coincidence with charged particles detected and identified with a silicon $Δ$E-E particle telescope. Gamma decays have been observed for the first time from six states ranging from 368 to 2147 keV above the neutron separation energy (S$_{n}$=3962 keV) in $^{19}$O. The $γ$ decaying states are interspersed among states previously observed to decay by neutron emission. The ability of electromagnetic decay to compete successfully with neutron decay is explained in terms of neutron angular momentum barriers and small spectroscopic factors implying higher spin and complex structure for these intruder states. These results illustrate the need for complementary experimental approaches to best illuminate the complete nuclear structure.

description: We present an open geometry Fourier modal method based on a new combination of open boundary conditions and an efficient $k$-space discretization. The open boundary of the computational domain is obtained using basis functions that expand the whole space, and the integrals subsequently appearing due to the continuous nature of the radiation modes are handled using a discretization based on non-uniform sampling of the $k$-space. We apply the method to a variety of photonic structures and demonstrate that our method leads to significantly improved convergence with respect to the number of degrees of freedom, which may pave the way for more accurate and efficient modeling of open nanophotonic structures.
Modeling interactions between cell populations in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Creators: name: Ganesh, Siddarth Ramanan
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common types of lymphoid malignancies, accounting for 37% of B-cell tumors globally. DLBCL is known to be a heterogeneous disease, resulting in variable clinical presentations and in the development of treatment resistance. One mode of treatment resistance acquisition is through the dynamics between different clones of DLBCL. In this work, the effects of interclonal interactions between two cell populations - one sensitive to treatment and another resistant to treatment - on tumor growth behaviors were explored through a mathematical model. In vitro cultures of mixed DLBCL populations demonstrated cooperative interactions and revealed the need for modifying the model to account for complex interactions. Multiple best-fit models derived from in vitro data indicated a difference in steady-state behaviors based on therapy administrations in simulations. The model and methods may serve as a tool in understanding the behaviors of heterogeneous tumors and in identifying the optimal therapeutic regimen to eliminate cancer cell populations.

description: Nonlinear wave formation and propagation on a complex network with excitable node dynamics is of fundamental interest in diverse fields in science and engineering. Here, we propose a new model of the Kuramoto type to study nonlinear wave generation and propagation on circular subgraphs of a complex network. On circle networks, in the continuum limit, this model is equivalent to the over-damped Frenkel-Kontorova model. The new model is shown to keep the essential features of those well-known models such as the diffusively coupled Bär-Eiswirth model but with much simplified expression such that analytic analysis becomes possible. We classify traveling wave solutions on circle networks and show the universality of its features with perturbation analysis and numerical computation.

description: Context: The full spectrum fitting of stellar spectra against a library of empirical spectra is a well-established approach to measure the atmospheric parameters of FGK stars with a high internal consistency. Extending it towards cooler stars still remains a challenge. Aims: We address this question by improving the interpolator of the MILES (Medium-resolution INT Library of Empirical Spectra) library in the low effective temperature regime (Tefff < 4800 K), and we refine the determination of the parameters of the cool MILES stars. Methods: We use the ULySS package to determine the atmospheric parameters (Teff, logg and [Fe/H]), and measure the biases of the results with respect to our updated compilation of parameters calibrated against theoretical spectra. After correcting some systematic effects, we compute a new interpolator that we finally use to redetermine the atmospheric parameters homogeneously and assess the biases. Results: Based on an updated literature compilation, we determine Teff in a more accurate and unbiased manner compared to those determined with the original interpolator. The validity range is extended downwards to about Teff = 2900 K compared to 3500 K previously. The mean residual biases on Teff, logg, and [Fe/H], with respect to the literature compilation for the coolest stars (Teff <= 3800 K) computed using the new interpolator, are -15 K, -0.02 dex, and 0.02 dex respectively. The corresponding estimations of the external precision are 63 K, 0.23 dex, and 0.15 dex respectively. For the stars with Teff in the range 3800 - 4200 K, the determinations of Teff and [Fe/H] have been slightly improved. At higher temperatures, the new interpolator is comparable to the original one. The new version of the interpolator is publicly available.

description: Recent studies have shown that the well established $Λ_c(2595)$ resonance contains a large meson-baryon component, which can vary depending on the specific formalism. In this work, we examine such a picture by utilizing the compositeness condition and the large number of colors ($N_c$) expansion. We examine three different models fulfilling two body unitarity in coupled-channels, and adopting renormalization schemes where the mass of the $Λ_c(2595)$ resonance is well described, but not necessarily its width, since we do not consider three body channels and work at the isospin symmetric limit. Both approximations might have an effect larger on the width than on the mass. In this context, our studies show that the compositeness of the $Λ_c(2595)$ depends on the number of considered coupled channels, and on the particular regularization scheme adopted in the unitary approaches and, therefore, is model dependent. In addition, we perform an exploratory study of the $Λ_c(2595)$ in the large $N_c$ expansion, within a scheme involving only the $πΣ_c$ and $KΞ'_c$ channels, whose dynamics is mostly fixed by chiral symmetry. In this context and formulating the leading-order interaction as a function of $N_c$, we show that for moderate $N_c> 3$ values, the mass and width of the $Λ_c(2595)$ deviate from those of a genuine $qqq$ baryon, implying the relevance of meson-baryon components in its wave function. Furthermore, we study the properties of the $Λ_c(2595)$, in the strict $N_c \to \infty $ limit, using an extension of the chiral Weinberg-Tomozawa interaction to an arbitrary number of flavors and colors. This latter study hints at the possible existence of a (perhaps) sub-dominant $qqq$ component in the $Λ_c(2595)$ resonance wave function, which would become dominant when the number of colors gets sufficiently large.

description: We report on efficient generation of second harmonic laser and single-mode vacuum squeezed light of 795 nm with periodically poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP) crystals. We achieved 111 mW of ultra-violet (UV) light at 397.5 nm from 191 mW of fundamental light with a PPKTP crystal in a doubling cavity, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 58.1%. Using the UV light to pump an optical parametric oscillator with a PPKTP crystal, we realized -5.6 dB of a maximum squeezing. We analyzed the pump power dependence of the squeezing level and concluded that the UV light induced losses limit the improvement of the squeezing level. The generated squeezed light has huge potential application in quantum memory and ultra-precise measurement.

description: Let $\mathcal S$ be a set of monic degree $2$ polynomials over a finite field and let $C$ be the compositional semigroup generated by $\mathcal S$. In this paper we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for $C$ to be consisting entirely of irreducible polynomials. The condition we deduce depends on the finite data encoded in a certain graph uniquely determined by the generating set $\mathcal S$. Using this machinery we are able both to show examples of semigroups of irreducible polynomials generated by two degree $2$ polynomials and to give some non-existence results for some of these sets in infinitely many prime fields satisfying certain arithmetic conditions.

description: Neural correlates of movement planning onset and direction may be present in human electrocorticography in the signal dynamics of both motor and non-motor cortical regions. We use a three-stage model of jPCA reduced-rank hidden Markov model (jPCA-RR-HMM), regularized shrunken-centroid discriminant analysis (RDA), and LASSO regression to extract direction-sensitive planning information and movement onset in an upper-limb 3D isometric force task in a human subject. This mode achieves a relatively high true positive force-onset prediction rate of 60% within 250ms, and an above-chance 36% accuracy (17% chance) in predicting one of six planned 3D directions of isometric force using pre-movement signals. We also find direction-distinguishing information up to 400ms before force onset in the pre-movement signals, captured by electrodes placed over the limb-ipsilateral dorsal premotor regions. This approach can contribute to more accurate decoding of higher-level movement goals, at earlier timescales, and inform sensor placement. Our results also contribute to further understanding of the spatiotemporal features of human motor planning.

description: Over the years, under the North-South (N-S) Scientific and Technology transfer drive, many African scientists went for postgraduate training in developed countries such as Sweden, UK, USA, and France. This N-S initiative however did not achieve the technology transfer aspect resulting in the trained African scientists failing to continue with their work on returning to their home institutions. Some invariably return to laboratories and institutions of developed countries making the N-S initiative a conduit of brain drain from Africa. Those who remain on the continent are not fully functional scientifically and contribute minimally to maintain strong research institutions. A few groups in Africa have managed to benefit from the N-S initiative and set up competence in some key research areas important for Drug Discovery, Development and Rational Use of Medicines. These groups are often scientifically isolated with few opportunities or possibilities for South-South (S-S) interaction to realize and build on the synergies of the knowledge and technical skills they have individually established. The proposed Pharmacological Science Gateway will significantly contribute towards S-S collaboration and strengthening both capacity and capability for drug development and Rational Use of Medicines in Africa. This will be achieved by ensuring that graduate students continue laboratory based pharmacological research in Africa by having access to tools for generating, analyzing and calculating data as well as expertise in these areas. This will contribute towards the reduction of the migration of African scientists to US/Europe or reduce costly visits to US/Europe which weaken the local research environments. In general, the e-infrastructure addresses a long standing challenge of scientific and technical strengthening of Africa where the older and current approach of courses and workshops has generally either been slow or not sustainable once participants and experts disperse. This initiative will ensure continued contacts, mentorship and access to necessary tools and establish strong capacity to maintain collaborations between African laboratory-based pharmacological scientists. This will contribute to enrichment of basic and clinical pharmacological sciences in Africa.

description: Let $\mathcal{A} = \mathcal{A}(W)$ be the reflection arrangement of the finite complex reflection group $W$. By Terao's famous theorem, the arrangement $\mathcal{A}$ is free. In this paper we classify all reflection arrangements which belong to the smaller class of recursively free arrangements. Moreover for the case that $W$ admits an irreducible factor isomorphic to $G_{31}$ we obtain a new (computer free) proof for the non-inductive freeness of $\mathcal{A}(W)$. Since our classification implies the non-recursive freeness of the reflection arrangement $\mathcal{A}(G_{31})$, we can prove a conjecture by Abe about the new class of divisionally free arrangements which he recently introduced.
