description: The highest pressure form of the major Earth-forming mantle silicate is MgSiO3 post-perovskite (PPv). Understanding the fate of PPv at TPa pressures is the first step for understanding the mineralogy of super-Earths-type exoplanets, arguably the most interesting for their similarities with Earth. Modeling their internal structure requires knowledge of stable mineral phases, their properties under compression, and major element abundances. Several studies of PPv under extreme pressures support the notion that a sequence of pressure induced dissociation transitions produce the elementary oxides SiO2 and MgO as the ultimate aggregation form at ~3 TPa. However, none of these studies have addressed the problem of mantle composition, particularly major element abundances usually expressed in terms of three main variables, the Mg/Si and Fe/Si ratios and the Mg#, as in the Earth. Here we show that the critical compositional parameter, the Mg/Si ratio, whose value in the Earth's mantle is still debated, is a vital ingredient for modeling phase transitions and internal structure of super-Earth mantles. Specifically, we have identified new sequences of phase transformations, including new recombination reactions that depend decisively on this ratio. This is a new level of complexity that has not been previously addressed, but proves essential for modeling the nature and number of internal layers in these rocky mantles.

description: This report is the initial post-retrofit year analysis of the results of the Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency (PHFA) Preservation through Smart Rehab program that received $22.5 million of American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009 (ARRA) funds for energy and water weatherization upgrades to multifamily affordable housing. PHFA’s funding allocation resulted in upgrades to 8,288 housing units in 109 properties. The first property was completed in December 2010 and the last was completed August 2012. Ninety-one properties had sufficient pre-retrofit and post-retrofit energy data to be included in a study conducted by Carnegie Mellon University’s Center for Building Performance and Diagnostics in 2013. This report provides property characteristics, pre- and post-retrofit energy and water consumption data, and weatherization costs. The authors also present a new model for weather normalization, describe challenges in current utility data collection, and provide recommendations for improving weatherization program procedures. Energy and water use in multifamily housing is not well characterized in the US and this report contributes to ongoing data collection that will improve national understanding.

description: Nanofiber Bragg cavities (NFBCs) are solid-state microcavities fabricated in optical tapered fiber. They can be tuned to a resonance wavelength of more than 20 nm by applying mechanical tension. This property is important for matching the resonance wavelength of an NFBC with the emission wavelength of single-photon emitters. However, the mechanism of the ultra-wide tunability and the limitation of the tuning range have not yet been clarified. It is important to comprehensively analyze both the deformation of the cavity structure in an NFBC and the change in the optical properties due to the deformation. Here, we present an analysis of the ultra-wide tunability of an NFBC and the limitation of the tuning range using three dimensional (3D) finite element method (FEM) and 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) optical simulations. When we applied a tensile force of 200 µN to the NFBC, a stress of 5.18 GPa was concentrated at the groove in the grating. The grating period was extended from 300 to 313.2 nm, while the diameter slightly shrank from 300 to 297.1 nm in the direction of the grooves and from 300 to 298 nm in the direction orthogonal to the grooves. This deformation shifted the resonance peak by 21.5 nm. These simulations indicated that both the elongation of the grating period and the small shrinkage of the diameter contributed to the ultra-wide tunability of the NFBC. We also calculated the dependence of the stress at the groove, the resonance wavelength, and the quality Q factor while changing the total elongation of the NFBC. The dependence of the stress on the elongation was 1.68 × 10-2 GPa/µm. The dependence of the resonance wavelength was 0.07 nm/µm, which almost agrees with the experimental result. When the NFBC, assumed to have the total length of 32 mm, was stretched by 380 µm with the tensile force of 250 µN, the Q factor for the polarization mode parallel to the groove changed from 535 to 443, which corresponded to a change in Purcell factor from 5.3 to 4.9. This slight reduction seems acceptable for the application as single photon sources. Furthermore, assuming a rupture strain of the nanofiber of 10 GPa, it was estimated that the resonance peak could be shifted by up to about 42 nm.

description: The detections of some long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) relevant to mergers of neutron star (NS)-NS or black hole (BH)-NS, as well as some short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) probably produced by collapsars, muddle the boundary of two categories of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In both cases, a plausible candidate of central engine is a BH surrounded by a hyperaccretion disc with strong outflows, launching relativistic jets driven by Blandford-Znajek mechanism. In the framework of compact binary mergers, we test the applicability of the BH hyperaccretion inflow-outflow model on powering observed GRBs. We find that, for a low outflow ratio, $\sim 50\%$, postmerger hyperaccretion processes could power not only all SGRBs but also most of LGRBs. Some LGRBs might do originate from merger events in the BH hyperaccretion scenario, at least on the energy requirement. Moreover, kilonovae might be produced by neutron-rich outflows, and their luminosities and timescales significantly depend on the outflow strengths. GRBs and their associated kilonovae are competitive with each other on the disc mass and total energy budgets. The stronger the outflow, the more similar the characteristics of kilonovae to supernovae (SNe). This kind of `nova' might be called `quasi-SN'.

description: A range of technologies require the directed motion of nanoscale droplets on solid substrates. A way of realizing this effect is durotaxis, whereby a stiffness gradient of a substrate can induce directional motion without requiring an energy source. Here, we report on the results of extensive molecular dynamics investigations of droplets on a surface with varying stiffness. We find that durotaxis is enhanced by increasing the stiffness gradient and, also, by increased wettability of the substrate, in particular, when droplet size decreases. We anticipate that our study will provide further insights into the mechanisms of nanoscale directional motion.

description: Services that architects provide are no longer constrained to offering inspiring design solutions to client needs and whims; their services are beginning to spread across domains to ensure that proposed designs are also ‘green’ and/or ‘sustainable’. Indeed, design and delivery of sustainable buildings is gradually gathering momentum, manifest in the way that building performance and functionality are being viewed within an overall ecological context. The ongoing transformation from the traditional to a sustainable building design process is no longer a question of whether to build but rather how (Kibert 2005). Of the many tools available to aid sustainable design, building rating systems offer guidelines and means for comparing and benchmarking buildings performance (Fowler and Rauch 2006). The nature of sustainable building rating systems is such that they are evolving—in this respect this paper describes research that engages this paradigm through the deployment of a sustainable information framework and computational tools.

description: On 17 September 1944 my father, Frank Smith, was the navigator for the lead bomber of 75 Squadron Royal New Zealand Air Force.The pilot was Squadron Leader Garth Gunn, a New Zealander. The 'op' was a milk run from RAF Mepal in Cambridge to bomb the V1 rocket sites in the Pas-de-Calais region. The bombing height was meant to be 10,000 feet but due to cloudy conditions this was brought down to 3,000 feet.Unfortunately Garth's plane was hit in both starboard engines and the flight engineer, Johnnie Bruce, was severely injured. After dropping their bombs, and without navigation systems operating, the pilot dead reckoned a return to Blighty. Losing height rapidly he decided to land at RAF Hawking on the Kent coast. This was a grass runway fighter field with a short runway. With the landing wheels down the plane clipped the side of a petrol tanker before turning turtle at the far end of the runway. Being a Sunday rescue, crews were hesitant about putting the fire out on a bomber which may still be bombed up. Two hours later the crew were extracted from the burning plane. Sqn Ldr Gunn was mortally wounded and died later in Canterbury Hospital. Likewise Johnnie Bruce died. Angus Millar, the bomb Aimee, radio operator was severely burnt; my father Frank Smith had put his foot through the fuselage and was carted off to hospital. He later underwent more than 30 operations to save his foot although his leg had to be shortened by two inches. He was hospitalised for three years, met my Mum who was a nurse, and here I am.In his memorabilia I have letters from a kind lady in the NZ Red Cross. Dad had written to her about the whereabouts of some of his mates. She replied with sad news about their demise and also mentioned that she had lost two sons herself in the war. Poignant reminders of the sacrifice our Mums and Dads made during the Second World War.Angus and dad remained friends for the rest of their lives. Garth Gunn is buried in Brookwood Cemetery.

description: ISTEX is a project launched in 2012 and funded by the National Agency for Research (ANR). It is part of the ‘Investments for the future’ programme initiated by the French Ministry for Higher Education and Research. The two main objectives of ISTEX are to acquire retrospective collections of scientific publications (articles, monographs, etc.) and to set up a platform that will host all the data and offer advanced services of research and delivery. This paper will focus on the second aspect of ISTEX: how to build a normalised, uniform and enriched data repository that will support scientific research. In addition to providing search engine services across articles and collections, and full-text indexing, the ISTEX team is currently working towards offering three types of data enrichment: terminology extraction processes for terms and their variants; named entity recognition; and cited bibliographic reference identification from unstructured full-texts. Moreover, several sub-projects have been founded with the aim of showing how labs could use ISTEX resources in the framework of their surveys or research. Firstly, the CILLEX project, led by CLLE in Toulouse, aims to develop metrological tools founded on the structures of small world networks, which are omnipresent in the documentary bases, in order better to identify the pertinent information. Secondly, the ISTEX-R project, carried out by LORIA, ATILF and the INIST, targets the creation of tools for access to textual content, to build on and capitalise knowledge in a given scientific domain. It aims to complete the basic platform by a content analysis, to characterise the evolution of research and knowledge with time. Finally, the LorExplor project proposes to constitute an open source library of Xml components to build research systems, corpus exploration servers and data curation chains to reply to specific needs (special survey, bibliography, meta-analysis, etc.). In this paper we will describe the three levels of the ISTEX platform: the basic treatments, the enrichment processes and the research working sub-projects included in the ISTEX framework. Our main objective is to show how this French initiative is a ‘win win’ step for both libraries and research. Laurent Schmitt is a research engineer at the French National Research Centre (CNRS), and heads the ‘Projects and Innovation’ department at INIST-CNRS, which facilitates access to scientific results from all fields of world research, promotes scientific production and provides services to people in Higher Education and Research in France. He is also in charge of ISTEX work packages dedicated to INIST: the development of the ISTEX platform which will host, enrich and disseminate all of the acquired data. He is dual trained as computer scientist and also in natural language computing.

description: In search of new prospects for thermoelectric materials, using ab-initio calculations and semi-classical Boltzmann theory, we have systematically investigated the electronic structure and transport properties of 18-valence electron count cobalt based half-Heusler alloys with prime focus on CoVSn, CoNbSn, CoTaSn, CoMoIn, and CoWIn. The effect of doping on transport properties has been studied under the rigid band approximation. The maximum power factor, S$^2σ$, for all systems is obtained on hole doping and is comparable to the existing thermoelectric material CoTiSb. The stability of all the systems is verified by phonon calculations. Based on our calculations, we suggest that CoVSn, CoNbSn, CoTaSn, CoMoIn and CoWIn could be potential candidates for high temperature thermoelectric materials.

description: My father Gordon Warren Davies was born in 1918 and served in the Airforce in the 39th Squadron. He was sent for training as an airframe fitter in Silloth, Cumbria and was away from home for five years during the war. His job was to mend and maintain the aircraft, and he travelled extensively in the Middle East. They had to camp out in tents in the desert, where scorpions, spiders and sometimes snakes would end up in their tents for shelter. His job sent him to many places during the war. He worked out that he was sent to 26 areas of operation including Egypt, North Africa, Crete, Italy, Sardinia, Jerusalem, and spent three months on Malta during their siege. Food was very short then and his weight went down to 11 stone. He said that what the cook couldn't do with a tin of corned beef wasn't worth knowing! When he was there in Malta he helped to keep their three biplanes in the air. They were called Hope, Faith and Charity.He told of one incident, when he and his mate Nobby were left to guard the small airfield while the squadron were in action. All they had was a Sten Gun with a bent barrel, between them! They hid in a trench when a rogue German Stuka landed and hoped he would see he was in the wrong airstrip! He did and soon took off. When he was in Egypt, he and a fellow airman actually climbed to the top of the Great Pyramid in Giza. It was hard going because of the height of the stones. You certainly can't do that in modern times.

 Roots of young rice seedlings (variety Kitaake; ~ 1 week after germination) were pulled through the outflow holes of the silicone plugs (PSI) and submerged into the BG11 medium.Co-cultivation took place at ~30 °C under natural day-night cycles in a greenhouse (Nov, 2016, HHU Düsseldorf, Germany).Root colonization was monitored over periods of ~ 2 weeks and documented after 60 min (right after inoculation) and, as depicted, by the end of the period.
1. root colonization of roots by wild-type Synechocystis but not by the non-motile mutant Δhfq
2. wild-type Synechocystis appear to build biofilm-likeassemblies surrounding the root surface

3. wild-type Synechocystis cells congregate inside of smallbut abundant cracks on the root surface

description: Finite Frobenius rings have been characterized as precisely those finite rings satisfying the MacWilliams extension property, by work of Wood. In the present note we offer a generalization of this remarkable result to the realm of Artinian rings. Namely, we prove that a left Artinian ring has the left MacWilliams property if and only if it is left pseudo-injective and its finitary left socle embeds into the semisimple quotient. Providing a topological perspective on the MacWilliams property, we also show that the finitary left socle of a left Artinian ring embeds into the semisimple quotient if and only if it admits a finitarily left torsion-free character, if and only if the Pontryagin dual of the regular left module is almost monothetic. In conclusion, an Artinian ring has the MacWilliams property if and only if it is finitarily Frobenius, i.e., it is quasi-Frobenius and its finitary socle embeds into the semisimple quotient.

Developing a tractable shape grammar

description: Previously, we examined tractable parametric shape grammars and developed a general paradigm for implementing classes of such grammars. A tractable shape grammar has polynomial computing complexity, and is specified in a way that is readily transformable to a computer program. By contrast, traditionally, shape grammars have been typically developed without a computer implementation in mind, either requiring ambiguity to be clarified, or it is hardly possible for the grammar to be implemented by a polynomial algorithm. Each tractable shape grammar is tied to a particular framework, which is backed by a data structure and supports a metalanguage. In this paper we illustrate the development of tractable shape grammars by transforming a shape grammar developed, essentially, in traditional fashion for the Baltimore rowhouse. The development is for a specific application context— to determine the interior layout of a building given its external features—and the process serves as a general strategy for developing tractable shape grammars.

Equipotential Surfaces and Lagrangian points in Non-synchronous, Eccentric Binary and Planetary Systems

description: We investigate the existence and properties of equipotential surfaces and Lagrangian points in non-synchronous, eccentric binary star and planetary systems under the assumption of quasi-static equilibrium. We adopt a binary potential that accounts for non-synchronous rotation and eccentric orbits, and calculate the positions of the Lagrangian points as functions of the mass ratio, the degree of asynchronism, the orbital eccentricity, and the position of the stars or planets in their relative orbit. We find that the geometry of the equipotential surfaces may facilitate non-conservative mass transfer in non-synchronous, eccentric binary star and planetary systems, especially if the component stars or planets are rotating super-synchronously at the periastron of their relative orbit. We also calculate the volume-equivalent radius of the Roche lobe as a function of the four parameters mentioned above. Contrary to common practice, we find that replacing the radius of a circular orbit in the fitting formula of Eggleton (1983) with the instantaneous distance between the components of eccentric binary or planetary systems does not always lead to a good approximation to the volume-equivalent radius of the Roche-lobe. We therefore provide generalized analytic fitting formulae for the volume-equivalent Roche lobe radius appropriate for non-synchronous, eccentric binary star and planetary systems. These formulae are accurate to better than 1% throughout the relevant 2-dimensional parameter space that covers a dynamic range of 16 and 6 orders of magnitude in the two dimensions.

description: Before being detected at Earth, charged cosmic rays propagate across the Solar System and undergo interactions with the turbulent solar wind and with the heliospheric magnetic field. As a result, they are subject to a series of processes that include diffusion, convection, energy losses and drifts, which significantly affect the shape and the intensity of the cosmic-ray fluxes at low energies. Here we illustrate how all these mechanisms can be realistically modelled with HelioProp, our public tool designed to treat cosmic-ray transport through the heliosphere in a charge-dependent way. We present a detailed description of the features of the code and we illustrate in a quantitative way the effects that the propagation in the heliosphere can have on the different cosmic-ray species with a particular emphasis on the antiparticle channels relevant for dark matter indirect detection.

description: Brown-Rho scaling, which has been strongly discussed after recent NA60 data was presented, is investigated within a nonequilibrium field theoretical description that includes quantum mechanical memory. Dimuon yields are calculated by application of a model for the fireball, and strong modifications are found in the comparison to quasi-equilibrium calculations, which assume instantaneous adjustment of all meson properties to the surrounding medium. In addition, we show results for the situation of very broad excitations.

description: A sample of 196 AGNs and ULIRGs observed by the Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) on Spitzer is analyzed to study the distribution of the strength of the 9.7 micron silicate feature. Average spectra are derived for quasars, Seyfert 1 and Seyfert 2 AGNs, and ULIRGs. We find that quasars are characterized by silicate features in emission and Seyfert 1s equally by emission or weak absorption. Seyfert 2s are dominated by weak silicate absorption, and ULIRGs are characterized by strong silicate absorption (mean apparent optical depth about 1.5). Luminosity distributions show that luminosities at rest frame 5.5 micron are similar for the most luminous quasars and ULIRGs and are almost 10^5 times more luminous than the least luminous AGN in the sample. The distributions of spectral characteristics and luminosities are compared to those of optically faint infrared sources at z~2 being discovered by the IRS, which are also characterized by strong silicate absorption. It is found that local ULIRGs are a similar population, although they have lower luminosities and somewhat stronger absorption compared to the high redshift sources.

description: In this paper, we study the generalized Douglas-Rachford algorithm and its cyclic variants which include many projection-type methods such as the classical Douglas-Rachford algorithm and the alternating projection algorithm. Specifically, we establish several local linear convergence results for the algorithm in solving feasibility problems with finitely many closed possibly nonconvex sets under different assumptions. Our findings not only relax some regularity conditions but also improve linear convergence rates in the literature. In the presence of convexity, the linear convergence is global.
