description: Let $G$ and $H$ be locally compact groups with fixed two-side-invariant Haar measures. A polyhomomorphism $G\to H$ is a closed subgroup $R\subset G\times H$ with a fixed Haar measure, whose marginals on $G$ and $H$ are dominated by the Haar measures on $G$ and $H$. A polyhomomorphism can be regarded as a multi-valued map sending points to sets equipped with 'uniform' measures. For polyhomomorphsisms $G\to H$, $H\to K$ there is a well-defined product $G\to K$. The set of polyhomomorphisms $G\to H$ is a metrizable compact space with respect to the Chabauty--Bourbaki topology and the product is separately continuous. A polyhomomorphism $G\to H$ determines a canonical operator $L^2(H)\to L^2(G)$, which is a partial isometry up to scalar factor. As an example, we consider locally compact infinite-dimensional linear spaces over finite fields and examine closures of groups of linear operators in semigroups of polyendomorphisms.

description: The Japanese Emperor Go Daigo in 1336 placed before Japanese historians a most difficult problem for solution when he refused to abdicate the throne at the suggestion of Ashikaga Takauji, so that noble military personage could cause to be selected another Mikado who would more readily do his bidding. Further complications were added to this situation when the Emperor fled to Yoshino, in Yamato Province, now Nara Province, some sixty miles southeast of Kyoto, carrying with him the Imperial Regalia, consisting of the Sword, Mirror, and "Jewel"; these articles were his badge of office, handed down from an earlier age.

Iron Age

description: During the Iron Age the Strath of Kildonan in Sutherland was home to many small farming communities. The relatively mild climate of this period enabled the cultivation of barley, wheat, and oats, and the keeping of horses, sheep, and cattle. Although much of the land had been cleared for agriculture, areas of woodland survived (providing shelter for deer, wild boar, and wolves). The Iron Age residents of Kildonan lived in circular roundhouses, made of stone and turf, with conical thatched roofs. Hut circles from these long ago dwellings can still be seen today. More than 350 hut circles have been identified in Kildonan. The roundhouses provided shelter for humans and animals. They were focused around a central hearth, with bays for sleeping and stalls for animals towards the walls of the house. Roundhouses were common throughout the British Isles. However, many of the roundhouses in Kildonan have specific regional variations – including passageways in the walls. This reconstruction shows how roundhouses near Caen in the Strath of Kildonan may have looked about 2000 years ago. The dwellings are set within a wider landscape, which was already profoundly shaped by human activity. Partial deforestation, and the impact of growing crops and grazing animals, made this Iron Age environment far from its original wild state.

description: The generally adopted approach in theory of relativistic strings and membranes, is similar to use of Lagrange coordinates in continious media mechanics. One can use an alternative approach, which is similar to use of Euler coordinates. Under such approach the consideration of thick (delocalized) membranes is natural. Membrane kinematics, which coorespond to Euler coordinates is constructed. Variables, similar to Hamiltonian variables, are introduced by means of Legander transformation. The case of free membranes appears to be degenerate. The examples of exact solutions of Einstein equations with delocalized membranes are presented.

title: Crack Closure Measurement by the Optical Method of Caustics
Creators: name: Wallhead, Ian
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1995

description: This work presents an investigation into the applicability of the optical method of caustics as a tool to study the role of crack closure in fatigue crack propagation. The technique has been applied to centre-cracked panel specimens of 2024-T3 aluminium alloy under a range of fatigue loading conditions which are expected to induce crack closure to varying degrees.

 The optical method of caustics is an experimental technique which is primarily applied to the measurement of stress intensity factors by quantifying out of plane surface deformations local to the crack tip. In this work the technique has been used to measure stress intensity factors throughout various fatigue cycles so as to quantify the range of stress intensity factors actually experienced by the crack tip, and thus determine ΔKeff. In order to accomplish this the technique has required substantial development both to measure low stress intensity factors where closure effects are known to predominate, and to measure them with sufficient resolution to quantify ΔKeff.

 These improvements comprise the application of an accurately collimated laser (with output beam wavefront error of approximately λ/5 at 633nm), the specification of optically flat specimen surfaces (with a surface form error of approximately λ/4 at 633nm over the measurement area), together with the use of a CCD camera image processing system for recording and measuring the caustics. Most importantly, however, the experimental arrangement of the technique has been dramatically modified for this study to produce a “split beam caustics” set-up which has been found to substantially increase the accuracy of the technique.

 Using these developments it has been shown that the method of caustics can detect premature material contact in the wake of a fatigue crack. This is manifest as an increased tensile stress field ahead of the crack which can exist even under a small far field compressive loading. However, the quantification of crack closure using this technique is not in agreement with other experimental evidence or theoretical models. Furthermore, in stark contradiction with contemporary theory, fatigue crack growth rate is found to be independent of the stress field range around the crack tip (conventionally described in terms of a stress intensity factor range, ΔK) under certain conditions, such following a single tensile overload.

 Close observation of the crack tip stress field under conditions of closure has revealed that its spatial function is such that it cannot truly be expressed in terms of a stress intensity factor which assumes the stress field to vary as K/2πr. Consequently, it is concluded that successful application of ΔKeff as the fatigue crack driving force is derived on phenomenological rather than physical grounds.
The First Detection of Spatially Resolved Mid-Infrared Scattered Light from a Protoplanetary Disk

description: We report spatially resolved 11.8 micron images, obtained at the W. M. Keck 10 m telescope, of the protoplanetary disk around the pre--main-sequence star HK Tau B. The mid-infrared morphology and astrometry of HK Tau B with respect to HK Tau A indicate that the flux observed in the mid-infrared from HK Tau B has been scattered off the upper surface of its nearly edge-on disk. This is the first example of a protoplanetary disk observed in scattered light at mid-infrared wavelengths. Monte Carlo simulations of this disk show that the extent (FWHM =0."5, or 70 AU) of the scattered light nebula in the mid-infrared is very sensitive to the dust size distribution. The 11.8 micron measurement can be best modelled by a dust grain population that contains grains on the order of 1.5-3 micron in size; grain populations with exclusively sub-micron grain sizes or power law size distributions that extend beyond 5 micron cannot reproduce the observed morphology. These grains are significantly larger than those expected in the ISM implying that grain growth has occurred; whether this growth is a result of dust evolution within the disk itself or had originally occurred within the dark cloud remains an open question.

description: Eleodes spinipes Solier, 1848
(Fig. 34, Map 12)
 Diagnosis. Easily recognized by the large size, robust form, with the elytra strongly ventricose in both sexes, elytra slightly caudate in the male, feebly produced in the female. Two subspecies occur in Texas: E. s. ventricosus LeConte has the pronotum broader than long with the apical angles acute and prominent, the basal angles rounded. In E. s. macrurus Champion, the pronotum is subquadrate, apical angles not prominent, hind angles obtuse but not rounded. In males, the elytra are not as inflated and the cauda is much longer. Length: 26– 33 mm. Eleodes ventricosus falli Blaisdell is a synonym of E. s. macrurus.
 Distribution. Eleodes s. ventricosus occurs in the lower Rio Grande valley of Texas, and E. s. macrurus is found in west Texas and Big Bend. There is some overlap and perhaps intergradation in the trans-Pecos area. Both subspecies extend into adjacent states of Mexico. The nominate subspecies, E. s. spinipes, characterized by strongly convex elytral intervals, occurs only in central Mexico from Nuevo León to Hidalgo.

description: We study the current noise spectrum of qubits under transport conditions in a dissipative bosonic environment. We combine (non-)Markovian master equations with correlation functions in Laplace-space to derive a noise formula for both weak and strong coupling to the bath. The coherence-induced reduction of noise is diminished by weak dissipation and/or a large level separation (bias). For weak dissipation, we demonstrate that the dephasing and relaxation rates of the two-level system can be extracted from noise. In the strong dissipation regime, the localisation-delocalisation transition becomes visible in the low-frequency noise.

description: We perform ab-initio calculations on Bi$_\mathrm{Se}$ antisite defects in the surface of Bi$_2$Se$_3$, finding strong low-energy defect resonances with a spontaneous ferromagnetism, fixed to an out-of-plane orientation due to an exceptional large magnetic anisotropy energy. For antisite defects in the surface layer, we find semi-itinerant ferromagnetism and strong hybridization with the Dirac surface state, generating a finite energy gap. For deeper lying defects, such hybridization is largely absent, the magnetic moments becomes more localized, and no energy gap is present.

description: Purpose: Gastrointestinal (GI) injuries post ionizing radiation (IR) becomes a crucial factor in survival. Thus, the current study was aimed to explore the molecular mechanisms behind IR produced GI proteome alterations and their amelioration by a safe radioprotective formulation candidate, G-003M (podophyllotoxin+rutin). Materials and method: C57BL/6 mice were administered with G-003M 1 h before 9 Gy whole body γ irradiation. 2DE-MS analysis was conducted to identify differential expression of jejunum proteins with fold change >1.5 (p Results: G-003M pre-administration decreased total number of differential proteins. It mediated protection to cytoskeleton, modulated stress, apoptosis and inflammatory proteins. Direct effect on eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4H (Eif4h), thioredoxin domain-containing protein 17 (Txndc17) and interferon-induced protein 35 (Ifi35) was observed. Bioinformatics depicted transcription factor-MYC, was also positively modulated by G-003M. Further, it also enhanced level of citrulline (ELISA analysis), and restored crypts and villi lengths (histological analysis) against severe damage caused by lethal irradiation. Conclusion: Current findings reveal that G-003M may be an efficient candidate in protecting key proteins of metabolic and biochemical pathways assisting in the rapid recovery of GI proteome. This fairly improved the chances of animal survival exposed to lethal doses of whole body radiation.

description: Background: Misclassification of physical activity (PA) levels in children due the use of invalid methods may heighten related adverse health risks. Objective methods for assessing PA are preferable but are not always feasible due to costs and related logistics, and questionnaires may be more suitable for national surveillance purposes. However, their validity and reliability vary in different populations. Purpose: To determine the level of agreement between PA levels measured by accelerometry (ActiGraph Model GT3X-BT) and the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C) in 8-year-old children from a black South African population. Methods: Eight-year-old children (8.37±0.73 years) from a larger study were participants. PA was determined using the objective and subjective methods of accelerometer (ActiGraph) and PAQ-C, respectively. Bland–Altman plots were used to assess the level of agreement between ActiGraph and PAQ-C. Results: No significant gender difference in PA score determined by PAQ-C was found. When ActiGraph was used, boys reported significantly (p<0.05) higher moderate PA, vigorous PA and moderate-to-vigorous PA than girls. The results show a significant (p<0.001) mean bias of -0.50, and equivalent (r2) of -0.01%, with limits of agreement ranges from -0.23 to -0.68, SEE of 0.14, equivalent (r2) to -0.1% for total sample. Furthermore Bland–Altman plots showed poor level of agreement between PA levels by ActiGraph and PAQ-C (p>0.05). The results further reveal that PAQ-C underestimated the PA of the sample population. Conclusion: Poor level of agreement existed between the two methods used to assess PA. PAQ-C underestimated PA levels in a sample of South Africa black children. PAQ-C, when used as a lone method for assessment of PA levels, should be approached with caution and where possible, the use of both objective measures and self-report is recommended.

(Figs. 36–37, Map 16)
 Diagnosis. Elongate to elongate-fusiform, subcylidrical, smooth and shining. The elytra are finely punctate and seriate. The pronotum is slightly broader than long, evenly convex, the convexity strongest transversely; both basal and apical angles obtuse, the anterior margin truncate. The females are flatter, broader, and quite distinct from the males. The profemur is mutic in both sexes. Length: 25– 35 mm.
 Distribution. In Texas, this species is found in the extreme western part of the state, including the Big Bend region. It is common in the Great Plains states as far north as Wyoming west to Oregon. In Mexico, it occurs in the states of Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, south to Michoacán. Slobodchikoff (1978, 1979) described the defensive behavior of this beetle against potential predators, including the use of its repugnatorial fluid to immobilize harvester ants while foraging on their mounds.

description: Background: Children’s early years are a key time for development, with research suggesting that engaging in physical activity (PA) can have positive health effects in the short and long term. Despite this, studies reporting the prevalence of PA in young children are limited. Purpose: To provide preliminary epidemiology of accelerometer measured physical activity data in 4–5-year-old children living in the Northeast of England. As well as report variations according to sex, sociodemographics, BMI-z, day of the week, time of the day and season. Methods: Physical activity levels were assessed over 8 days in 4–5-year-old children using ActiGraph GT1M accelerometers. PA data was recorded and processed according to time spent in sedentary behaviour (SB), light moderate, moderate and vigorous PA, and statistical analysis, were performed according to individual and environmental variations. Results: This study found that on average children in the Northeast of England surpassed the recommendations of the UK PA (2019) guidelines for under 5’s and 5-18-year-olds. However, the major proportion of activity was spent at light intensity. Children were least active in autumn, whereas MVPA was consistent across other seasons. Also, children were more sedentary during weekdays, but performed equal amounts of MVPA on week and weekend days. Differences in PA levels were also found according to sex, socioeconomic status, age, and body mass index-z (BMI-z). Conclusions: This study found that on average, young children living in the Northeast of England, met the recommended UK levels of physical activity. However, there is still a need to reduce sex and socioeconomic inequalities in PA, and potentially promote more PA within the school day.

description: Background: Prolonged sitting is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (Tremblay, et al., 2017). Breaking up sitting with light-intensity activity improves cardiometabolic risk markers in healthy and diabetic populations within a free-living environment (Dempsey et al., 2016; Duvivier et al., 2017). Yet, the effects in cardiac patients, a highly relevant population, are unknown. The aim of this study, therefore, is to determine the effects of reducing and breaking up sitting time on glycemia under free-living conditions in participants following a myocardial infarction. Method: A repeated measures, randomised cross over study design will be used, under free-living conditions. Cardiac patients (n=20) will take part in two experimental conditions across 11 days: (i) uninterrupted sitting; (ii) sitting with 5 minutes of standing and light intensity physical activity every 30 minutes (3 hours light activity; 2 hours standing each day). Outcomes are interstitial glucose, blood pressure and mood and wellbeing. Current Status of Project: This study has received approval from the Health Research Authority and data collection has commenced; n=15 will be available to present at the ISPAH Congress. Implication of the findings: The findings will identify whether reducing and breaking up sitting could be effective for improving cardiometabolic health in cardiac patients. It will also inform a feasibility study for a chronic intervention to reduce sitting in this population. Funding Sources: Study funded by the Institute for Physical Activity and Research, University of Bedfordshire as part of a larger PhD project.

description: We present a simple model of how a monopolistic search engine optimally determines the average relevance of firms in its search pool. In our model, there is a continuum of consumers, who use the search engine’s pool, and there is a continuum of firms, whose entry to the pool is restricted by a price-per-click set by the search engine. We show that a monopolistic search engine may have an incentive to set a relatively low price-per-click that encouarges low-relevance advertisers to enter the search pool. In general, the ratio between the marginal and average relevance in the search pool induced by the search engine’s policy is equal to the ratio between the search engine’s profit per consumer and the equilibrium product price. These conclusions do not change if the search engine charges fixed access fee rather than a price-per-click.

description: Background: What are the joint associations of physical activity/sedentary time and adiposity with mortality risk? Purpose: Determine the joint associations of total, light intensity physical activity (LPA), moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), and sedentary time with BMI in relation to all-cause mortality risk. Methods: Harmonized meta-analysis of 34,492 participants (2034 deaths) with a median age of 62.1 years from 8 population-based prospective cohort studies with device-measured physical activity and sedentary time. Follow-up ranged from 6.0 to 14.5 years. Standard BMI-based categories of weight-status were combined with tertiles of total, LPA, MVPA and sedentary time, yielding 9 combinations of weight status and physical activity for each activity exposure. All studies used multivariable-adjustment and excluded individuals with prevalent cardiovascular disease or cancer. Results: There was an inverse dose-response relationship between higher levels of total and intensity-specific physical activity and lower mortality within the normal- and overweight categories, but a clear dose-response relationship within the obese category was only observed for total physical activity. Sedentary time was not associated with mortality risk in individuals with obesity. Compared with the obese-low total activity reference, the HRs (95%CI) were 0.67 (0.48 to 0.94), 0.56 (0.40 to 0.79), and 0.59 (0.44 to 0.79) for the obese-high total activity, overweight-high total activity, and normal weight-high total activity groups. There was no difference in mortality risk between normal weight-low active and obese-low active individuals. Conclusions: Higher physical activity was associated with lower risk of mortality irrespective of weight status. Funding: No funding directly supported this work.

It is known that this model hosts magnetic phases breaking SU(4) symmetry and quantum disordered dimer-like phases breaking lattice translation symmetry. Motivated by a previous work [O. Gauthé, S. Capponi and D. Poilblanc, Phys. Rev. B $\textbf{99}$, 241112(R) (2019)], we investigate the possibility of the existence of SU(4) quantum spin liquid phases in this model, using SU(4)-symmetric Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS) of small bond dimensions, which can be classified according to point group and charge (C) symmetries. Among several (disconnected) families of SU(4)-symmetric PEPS, breaking or not C-symmetry, we identify critical or topological spin liquids which may be stable in some regions of the phase diagram. These results are confronted to exact diagonalisation (ED) and density matrix renormalisation group (DMRG) calculations.

description: A long 280 ks observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 3783 with XMM-Newton is reported. We focus on the oxygen line complex between 17 and 24 A as measured with the RGS spectrometers. Accurate absorption column densities and emission line fluxes are obtained. We explore several options for the geometry and physical form of the emitting and absorbing gas. The lack of change in ionization in the absorber despite an increase in continuum flux during the observation restricts the high-ionization (O-K) and the low-ionization (Fe-M) gas to distances of at least 0.5 pc and 2.8 pc, respectively, away from the central source. Given the P-Cygni type profiles in the resonance spectral lines and the similar velocity widths, column densities, and ionization structure inferred separately from the emission and absorption lines, it is tempting to relate the X-ray narrow-line emitting plasma with the X-ray absorbing gas. Under this assumption, the scenario of dense clumped clouds can be ruled out. Conversely, extended ionization cones (r > 10 pc) are consistent with the observation independent of this assumption. These findings are in stark contrast with the picture of numerous clumpy (n_e > 10^9 cm^-3) clouds drawn recently from UV spectra, but it is consistent with the extended X-ray emission cones observed directly in Seyfert 2 galaxies.

description: Coordination games often have multiple equilibria. The selection of equilibrium raises the question of belief formation: how do players generate beliefs about the behavior of other players? This paper takes the view that the answer lies in history, that is, in the outcomes of similar coordination games played in the past, possibly by other players. We analyze a simple model in which a large population plays a game that exhibits strategic complementarities. We assume a dynamic process that faces different populations with such games for randomly selected values of a parameter. We introduce a belief formation process that takes into account the history of similar games played in the past, not necessarily by the same population. We show that when history serves as a coordination device, the limit behavior depends on the way history unfolds, and cannot be determined from a-priori considerations.

description: We suggest a model that describes how counterfactuals are con- structed and justied. The model can describe how counterfactual beliefs are updated given the unfolding of actual history. It also al- lows us to examine the use of counterfactuals in prediction, and to show that a logically omniscient reasoner gains nothing from using counterfactuals for prediction.

description: This is a survey of some of the recent decision-theoretic literature involving beliefs that cannot be quantified by a Bayesian prior. We discuss historical, philosophical, and axiomatic foundations of the Bayesian model, as well as of several alternative models recently proposed. The definition and comparison of ambiguity aversion and the updating of non-Bayesian beliefs are briefly discussed. Finally, several applications are mentioned to illustrate the way that ambiguity (or “Knightian uncertainty”) can change the way we think about economic problems.

description: Background: Emerging evidence suggests accruing sedentary behaviour (SB) in relatively more prolonged periods may convey additional cardiometabolic risks. Purpose: To examine the association of SB accumulation patterns with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD), all-cause mortality (ACM), and incident cancer. Methods: Data were from 7,671 UK middle-to-older-aged adults who wore accelerometers on the right hip for 4-7 days. Cox proportional hazards regression modelled non-linear (spline) associations between two measures of SB accumulation (usual bout duration and alpha [hybrid measure of bout frequency/duration]) and incident CVD, cancer and ACM. Models were adjusted for potential confounders and 24-hour time-use compositions. Results: During mean follow-up time of 6.4 years, 339 ACM, 1,106 CVD, and 516 cancer events occurred. Elevated risk of incident cancer and ACM was seen with more prolonged SB accumulation (lower alpha, higher usual bout duration), but not CVD. For alpha and usual SB bout duration, respectively, the confounder-adjusted hazard ratio (HR: [95% CI]) for 90th vs. 10th percentiles were 0.72 (0.54-0.96) and 1.32 (0.97-1.81) with incident cancer and 0.70 (0.53-0.93) and 1.16 (0.86-1.56) with ACM. Further adjustment for 24-hour time-use weakened associations with ACM for usual bout duration (0.95 [0.68-1.34]) and partially for alpha (0.78 [0.57-1.08]). Conclusions: Accruing SB in longer bout durations was associated non-linearly manner with significant additional increases in risk of cancer and ACM, but not CVD, with some evidence of direct SB accumulation effects independent of 24-hour time-use. Findings provide some support for considering SB accumulation as an adjunct target of messaging to “sit less and move more”.

description: When minimum equity stakes in durable goods constrain a household's debt, a per- sistent wage increase generates a liquidity shortage. This temporarily limits the income eect, so hours worked grow. This is the nancial labor supply accelerator, which links labor supply decisions to limits on household borrowing. This paper examines its implications for the comovement of hours worked and household debt by compar- ing model-generated data with evidence from the PSID. The drastic deregulation of household debt markets in the early 1980s eectively reduced required equity stakes in durable goods. Since then, the estimated regression eect of mortgage debt on hours worked, interpreted as comovement rather than causality, has dropped dramatically. Analogous estimates from model-generated data display a quantitatively comparable fall after a calibrated reduction in equity requirements.
The ESO Nearby Abell Cluster Survey. XIII. The orbits of the different types of galaxies in rich clusters

description: We study the orbits of the various types of galaxies observed in the ESO Nearby Abell Cluster Survey. Galaxies within and outside substructures are considered separately. We use the mass profile we determined from the distribution and kinematics of the early-type galaxies (i.e. ellipticals, excluding the brightest ones, and S0s) outside substructures; the latter were assumed to be on isotropic orbits, which is supported by the shape of their velocity distribution. The projected distribution and kinematics of the galaxies of other types are used to search for equilibrium solutions in the gravitational potential derived from the early-type galaxies, using the method described by Binney and Mamon as implemented by Solanes and Salvador-Sole'. For the brightest ellipticals we are not able to construct equilibrium solutions. This is most likely the result of the formation history and the special location of these galaxies at the centres of their clusters. The data for the early spirals allow equilibrium solutions and are consistent with isotropic orbits, although there is an apparent radial anisotropy at about 0.45 r200. For the late spirals an equilibrium solution with isotropic orbits is rejected by the data. The orbits are nearly isotropic within about 0.7 r200, but then become increasingly radial outwards. Finally, the data for the galaxies in substructures indicate that isotropic solutions are not acceptable, and tangential orbits are indicated. We briefly discuss the possible implications of these velocity-anisotropy profiles for current ideas of the evolution and transformation of galaxies in clusters. (Abridged)

description: The geometric Baade-Wesselink method is one of the most promising techniques for obtaining a better calibration of the Cepheid period-luminosity relation by means of interferometric measurements of accurate diameters. In this paper we present new wavelength- and phase-dependent limb darkening corrections based on our time-dependent hydrodynamic models of the classical Cepheid zeta Gem. We show that a model simulation of a Cepheid atmosphere, taking into account the hydrodynamic effects associated with the pulsation, shows strong departures from the limb darkening otherwise predicted by a static model. For most of its pulsational cycle the hydrodynamic model predicts a larger limb darkening then the equivalent static model. The hydrodynamics affects the limb darkening mainly at UV and optical wavelengths. Most of these effects evolve slowly as the star pulsates, but there are phases, associated with shocks propagating into the photosphere, in which significant changes in the limb darkening take place on time-scales of the order of less than a day. We assess the implication of our model LD corrections fitting the geometric Baade-Wesselink distance of zeta Gem for the available near-IR PTI data. We discuss the effects of our model limb darkening on the best fit result, and analyze the requirements needed to test the time-dependence of the limb darkening with future interferometric measurements.
