description: The phase transitions in a realistic system with triplet pairing, dense neutron matter, have been investigated. The spectrum of phases of the $^3P_2-^3F_2$ model, which adequately describes pairing in this system, is analytically constructed with the aid of a separation method for solving BCS gap equation in states of arbitrary angular momentum. In addition to solutions involving a single value of the magnetic quantum number (and its negative), there exist ten real multicomponent solutions. Five of the corresponding angle-dependent order parameters have nodes, and five do not. In contrast to the case of superfluid $^3$He, transitions occur between phases with nodeless order parameters. The temperature dependence of the competition between the various phases is studied.

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, MND) is a neurodegenerative disease of upper and lower motor neurons resulting in death from neuromuscular respiratory failure, typically within two years of first symptoms. Genetic factors are an important cause of ALS, with variants in more than 25 genes having strong evidence, and weaker evidence available for variants in more than 120 genes. With the increasing availability of next-generation sequencing data, non-specialists, including health care professionals and patients, are obtaining their genomic information without a corresponding ability to analyze and interpret it. Furthermore, the relevance of novel or existing variants in ALS genes is not always apparent. Here we present ALSgeneScanner, a tool that is easy to install and use, able to provide an automatic, detailed, annotated report, on a list of ALS genes from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data in a few hours and whole exome sequence data in about 1 h on a readily available mid-range computer. This will be of value to non-specialists and aid in the interpretation of the relevance of novel and existing variants identified in DNA sequencing data.

description: Ecological studies are characterized by use of population clusters as experimental units rather than the individual. They can be applied in several areas, but have been frequently used in health with epidemiological approach. Considering the essence of this type of study and that
population clusters are restricted to geographic areas, the use of data geoprocessing tools is essential for understanding the dynamics of the epidemiological phenomena and determination of risk areas and vulnerability. Based on bibliographical survey on studies of
ecological type in Brazil in the last five years it can be seen that the use of Geographic Information Systems - GIS has been incipient. The Terraview was the most used, followed by ArcGIS. While both allow the exploratory spatial data analysis - ESDA, this approach is present in only about 25% of the articles found.
Bose-Einstein condensation in harmonic double wells

description: We discuss Bose-Einstein condensation in harmonic traps where the confinement has undergone a splitting along one direction. We mostly consider the 3D potentials consisting of two cylindrical wells separated a distance 2a along the z-axis. For ideal gases, the thermodynamics of the confined bosons has been investigated performing exact numerical summations to describe the major details of the transition and comparing the results with the semiclassical density-of-states approximation. We find that for large particle number and increasing well separation, the condensation temperature evolves from the thermodynamic limit value T_c^{(0)}(N) to T_c^{(0)}(N/2). The effects of adding a repulsive interaction between atoms has been examined resorting to the Gross-Pitaevskii-Popov procedure and it is found that the shift of the condensation temperature exhibits different signs according to the separation between wells. In particular, for sufficiently large splitting, the trend opposes the well known results for harmonic traps, since the critical temperature appears to increase with growing repulsion strength.

description: We consider the Langevin dynamics of a semi-dilute system of chains which are random polyampholytes of average monomer charge $q$ and with a fluctuations in this charge of the size $Q^{-1}$ and with freely floating counter-ions in the surrounding. We cast the dynamics into the functional integral formalism and average over the quenched charge distribution in order to compute the dynamic structure factor and the effective collective potential matrix. The results are given for small charge fluctuations. In the limit of finite $q$ we then find that the scattering approaches the limit of polyelectrolyte solutions.

description: Compelling evidence for the creation of a new form of matter has been claimed to be found in Pb+Pb collisions at SPS. We discuss the uniqueness of often proposed experimental signatures for quark matter formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions. It is demonstrated that so far none of the proposed signals like Jψmeson production/suppression, strangeness enhancement, dileptons, and directed flow unambigiously show that a phase of deconfined matter has been formed in SPS Pb+Pb collisions. We emphasize the need for systematic future measurements to search for simultaneous irregularities in the excitation functions of several observables in order to come close to pinning the properties of hot, dense QCD matter from data.

description: The use of last generation Programmable Electronic Components makes possible the construction of very powerful and competitive special purpose computers. We have designed, constructed and tested a three-dimensional Spin Glass model dedicated machine, which consists of 12 identical boards. Each single board can simulate 8 different systems, updating all the systems at every clock cycle. The update speed of the whole machine is 217ps/spin with 48 MHz clock frequency. A device devoted to fast random number generation has been developed and included in every board. The on-board reprogrammability permits us to change easily the lattice size, or even the update algorithm or the action. We present here a detailed description of the machine and the first runs using the Heat Bath algorithm.

description: The rise of software as a research object is mirrored in the increasing interests towards quantitative studies of scientific software. However, due to the inconsistent practice of citing software, most of the existing studies analyzing the impact of scientific software are based on identification of software name mentions in full-text publications. Despite its limitations, citation data have a much larger quantity and broader coverage of scientific fields than full-text data and thus could support findings in much larger scopes. This paper presents an analysis aiming to evaluate the extent to which citations data can be used to reconstruct the impact of software. Specifically, we identified the variety of citable objects related to the lme4 R package and examined how the package's impact is scattered across these objects. Our results reveal a little-discussed challenge of using citation data to measure the impact of software, that even within the category of formal citation, there might be different forms in which the same software object is cited. This challenge can be mitigated by more carefully selecting objects as the proxy of software. However, it cannot be fully solved until we have one-software-one-proxy policy for software citation.

description: A new approach to large-scale nuclear structure calculations, based on the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG), is described. The method is tested in the context of a problem involving many identical nucleons constrained to move in a single large-j shell and interacting via a pairing plus quadrupole interaction. In cases in which exact diagonalization of the hamiltonian is possible, the method is able to reproduce the exact results for the ground state energy and the energies of low-lying excited states with extreme precision. Results are also presented for a model problem in which exact solution is not feasible.

description: The cause of excess spectral line broadening (non-thermal velocity) is not definitively known, but given its rise before and during flaring, the causal processes hold clues to understanding the triggers for the onset of reconnection and the release of free magnetic energy from the coronal magnetic field. A comparison of data during a 9-hour period from the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on the Hinode spacecraft - at a 3-minute cadence - and non-linear force-free field (NLFFF) extrapolations performed on Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) magnetograms - at a 12-minute cadence - shows an inverse relationship between non-thermal velocity and free magnetic energy on short timescales during two X-class solar flares on 6 September 2017. Analysis of these results supports suggestions that unresolved Doppler flows do not solely cause non-thermal broadening and instead other mechanisms like Alfvén wave propagation and isotropic turbulence have a greater influence.

description: Partially phase-separated liquid-crystal/polymer dispersions display highly fibrillar domain morphologies that are dramatically different from the typical structures found in isotropic mixtures. To explain this, we numerically explore the coupling between phase ordering and phase separation kinetics in model two-dimensional fluid mixtures phase separating into a nematic phase, rich in liquid crystal, coexisting with an isotropic phase, rich in polymer. We find that phase ordering can lead to fibrillar networks of the minority polymer-rich phase.

description: We study in detail the scattering of light on a soliton propagating in a waveguide which has been proposed as an experimental system in which one could observe the analogue Hawking effect. When not applying the rotating wave approximation, we show that the linearized wave equation governing perturbations has the same structure as that governing phonon propagation in an atomic Bose condensate. By taking into account the full dispersion relation, we then show that the scattering coefficients encoding the production of photon pairs are amplified by a resonance effect related to the modulation instability occurring in the presence of a continuous wave. When using a realistic example of a silicon nitride waveguide on a silica substrate, we find that a soliton of duration 10 fs would spontaneously emit about one photon pair for every cm it travels, which makes the effect readily observable. This result is confirmed by numerically solving the equation encoding the Kerr nonlinearity and governing the evolution of the full field (soliton plus perturbations). We discuss the link with previous works devoted to the analogue Hawking effect where the pair creation rates were about six orders of magnitude smaller.

description: An external ventricular drain or EVD is one of the most common neurosurgical procedures. Its application allows for excessive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage, continuous measurement and monitoring of intracranial pressure, investigation of CSF dynamics, direct treatment and prevention of CSF leaks after neurosurgical operations. Nonetheless, its application is also associated with various complications. Undoubtedly one of the most significant risks of EVD placement is the risk of infection, which can result in ventriculitis, meningitis and even death. The organisation in which the quality improvement project took place is one of the leading institutions performing neurosurgical procedures in Ireland, establishment of EVD related infection rate was a crucial step for the institution and to guide the quality improvement project (QIP). A total of 116 patients received EVDs in 2019, however 3 patients were excluded due to pre-existing cerebral infection. This resulted in 113 patients being included in the study, of which 15 patients were identified to have EVD-related infection, establishing the EVD-related infection rate for 2019 to be 13.27%. The results from this study is higher than the mean incidence rate of 9%. The DMAIC (define, measure, analyse, improve, control) framework for quality improvement (QI) was used to formulate a QI plan to reduce the reduce EVD-related infections. QI tools such as stakeholder analysis, SIPOC analysis, driver diagram and fishbone diagrams were utilised to identify the root causes and guide the hospital to make improvements to the current model with the hopes of reducing EVD-related infection rates.

description: We present a library for generic programming in OCaml, adapting some techniques borrowed from other functional languages. The library makes use of three recent additions to OCaml: generalised abstract datatypes are essential to reflect types, extensible variants allow this reflection to be open for new additions, and extension points provide syntactic sugar and generate boiler plate code that simplify the use of the library. The building blocks of the library can be used to support many approaches to generic programming through the concept of view. Generic traversals are implemented on top of the library and provide powerful combinators to write concise definitions of recursive functions over complex tree types. Our case study is a type-safe deserialisation function that respects type abstraction.

description: The irreducible representations of the Lie algebra ${\frak su}$(3) describe rotational bands in the context of the nuclear shell and interacting boson models. The density matrices associated with ${\frak su}$(3) provide an alternative theoretical framework for obtaining these bands. The ${\frak su}$(3) density matrix formulation is mathematically simpler than representation theory, yet it yields similar results. Bands are solutions to a system of polynomial equations defined by the quadratic and cubic ${\frak su}$(3) Casimirs. Analytic solutions are found in many physically important cases including rotation about principal axes and spheroids. Numerical solutions are reported in other cases including tilted rotors. The physics of rotational bands is more transparent in the presented formalism. In representation theory bands terminate because the space is finite-dimensional. In ${\frak su}$(3) density matrix theory bands terminate when faster rotation produces a spheroid rotating around its symmetry axis.

description: For a prime number $\ell$, an isogeny class $\mathcal{A}$ of abelian varieties is called $\ell$-cyclic if every variety in $\mathcal{A}$ have a cyclic $\ell$-part of its group of rational points. More generally, for a finite set of prime numbers $\mathcal{S}$, $\mathcal{A}$ is said to be $\mathcal{S}$-cyclic if it is $\ell$-cyclic for every $\ell\in\mathcal{S}$. We give lower and upper bounds on the fraction of $\mathcal{S}$-cyclic $g$-dimensional isogeny classes of abelian varieties defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$, when $q$ tends to infinity.

description: Increasing integration of alternate electricity generation due to declining fossil fuels is becoming an essential option for future generations. As photovoltaic technology brings forth enormous benefits to the alternate solution for future power grid systems, this paper presents a comprehensive real-time system designed to model, control, and monitor a PV array subjected to dynamic loads using the Real-Time Digital Simulator (RTDS) environment. Integration with the Generic Transducer Network (GTNET)- Socket(SKT) module allows for the simulation of various environmental conditions, such as changes in insolation and temperature, and their direct impact on the PV array's performance. Utilizing BeagleBoard technology, the system demonstrates the capability to modify these conditions through real-time data input, subsequently observing the effects on current and voltage output curves. The real-time simulation results are visualized as a SCADA system within the Real-time Simulation for Automated Controller Design (RSCAD) runtime environment, providing insights into the effective management of solar power systems.

description: In order to justify applicability of the standard approach of perturbation theory for the description of transport phenomena in wide-band polar semiconductors with strong electron-phonon interactions, we have compared dependences of energy losses to the lattice on the electron drift velocity obtained for different materials in the frameworks of (a) a perturbative approach based on calculation of the scattering rates from Fermi's golden rule and (b) a non-perturbative approach based on the path-integral formalism of Thornber and Feynman. Our results reveal that despite strong electron-phonon coupling in GaN and AlN such that intercollision times become of the order of the period of phonon oscillation, standard perturbative treatment can still be applied successfully for this type of material. Our findings also indicate possibility for unique long-distance runaway transport in nitrides which may occur at the pre-threshold electric fields. Polaron ground state energy and effective masses are calculated for GaN and AlN as well as for GaAs and Al_2 O_3.

Their chemical structures were established by various spectroscopic analyses, in addition to comparison with the formerly reported data. Moreover, the cytotoxic activity of these metabolites was assessed towards MCF-7, HepG2, and HCT-116 tumour cell lines using sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. Compound 4 showed the most potent cytotoxic profile with IC50 9.0 µM towards MCF-7, compared to doxorubicin (IC50 0.18 µM). Also, 1 and 4 possessed the most potent effect towards HepG2 with IC50s 26.7 and 25.9 μM, respectively. In addition, all tested compounds showed cytotoxic effects with IC50 values ranging from 19.9 to 39.3 µM against HCT-116.

description: Designing a test battery for language that is appropriate across dialects is difficult. Many of theitems traditionally studied to assess the sophistication of preschoolers’ speech include inflections such astense and plurality that behave differently across dialects, resulting in the mis-assignment of clinical statusto normal speakers of dialects such as African American English. One strategy towards solution of thisdilemma has been to choose items that involve tests of linguistic knowledge that have no established dialectdifferences. Recent work on articles in English suggests there is promise in this area, since a) there are no established dialect differences in the use of definite and indefinite articles between AAE andSAE.b) SLI children, on the other hand, show significant difficulties using articles appropriately (Ramos, 1999) Given those two premises, it is clear that the article items may be responded to in the same way by childrenregardless of dialect but dependent on their clinical status. The purpose of this study was to establish abaseline with normally-developing children and confirm that there are no dialect differences for 3-7 yearolds.Previous studies of article use have been fraught with methodological difficulties, and considerablevariation depending on the methods and materials. Our analysis of the inadequacies of earlier experimentson this topic (see Cziko 1986) led us to design the task so that no objects relevant to the elicitation werepresent during the experiment. That is, we modified a recent procedure by Schafer and de Villiers (2000),which gets around the materials problem by using none! In effect, the children are asked questions that theyanswer “out of their heads”, a procedure that might also lessen the disadvantage of children who are lessused to test-type book materials. The purpose of the study was to elicit from children noun phrasescontaining the articles a and the under conditions that controlled for the maximum number ofextralinguistic contributions to familiarity and uniqueness.

description: We present an effective theory for the bulk fractional quantum Hall states on the Jain sequences on closed surfaces and show that it has a universal form whose structure does not change from fraction to fraction. The structure of this effective theory follows from the condition of global consistency of the flux attachment transformation on closed surfaces. We derive the theory of the edge states on a disk that follows naturally from this globally consistent theory on a torus. We find that, for a fully polarized two-dimensional electron gas, the edge states for all the Jain filling fractions $ν=p/(2np+1)$ have only one propagating edge field that carries both energy and charge, and two non-propagating edge fields of topological origin that are responsible for the statistics of the excitations. Explicit results are derived for the electron and quasiparticle operators and for their propagators at the edge. We show that these operators create states with the correct charge and statistics. It is found that the tunneling density of states for all the Jain states scales with frequency as $|ω|^{(1-ν)/ν}$.

description: This study sought to obtain a simple scaffold for annulus fibrosus (AF) repair or replacement using a combination of polyurethane (PU) reinforced with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). Composites containing up to 20 wt% CNCs were solvent casted and fabricated into ribbons and radially layered structures to be mechanically tested in tension, compression, creep, and relaxation. Tension and compression testing on swollen composite films and ringed structures, respectively, revealed that the PU 90/10 and PU 80/20 composites had elastic moduli most closely related to the natural AF tissues. Creep and relaxation revealed that the composite materials show a greater percentage of elastic response and longer relaxation times than natural intervertebral disc (IVD) tissues. It was shown that this approach leads to a scaffold that nearly mimics the mechanical properties of natural IVD tissues, while allowing fine tuning of these mechanical properties by varying CNC content and the ringed structure.

description: CFS (Correlation-Based Feature Selection) is an FS algorithm that has been successfully applied to classification problems in many domains. We describe Distributed CFS (DiCFS) as a completely redesigned, scalable, parallel and distributed version of the CFS algorithm, capable of dealing with the large volumes of data typical of big data applications. Two versions of the algorithm were implemented and compared using the Apache Spark cluster computing model, currently gaining popularity due to its much faster processing times than Hadoop's MapReduce model. We tested our algorithms on four publicly available datasets, each consisting of a large number of instances and two also consisting of a large number of features. The results show that our algorithms were superior in terms of both time-efficiency and scalability. In leveraging a computer cluster, they were able to handle larger datasets than the non-distributed WEKA version while maintaining the quality of the results, i.e., exactly the same features were returned by our algorithms when compared to the original algorithm available in WEKA.

description: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, MND) is a neurodegenerative disease of upper and lower motor neurons resulting in death from neuromuscular respiratory failure, typically within two years of first symptoms. Genetic factors are an important cause of ALS, with variants in more than 25 genes having strong evidence, and weaker evidence available for variants in more than 120 genes. With the increasing availability of next-generation sequencing data, non-specialists, including health care professionals and patients, are obtaining their genomic information without a corresponding ability to analyze and interpret it. Furthermore, the relevance of novel or existing variants in ALS genes is not always apparent. Here we present ALSgeneScanner, a tool that is easy to install and use, able to provide an automatic, detailed, annotated report, on a list of ALS genes from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data in a few hours and whole exome sequence data in about 1 h on a readily available mid-range computer. This will be of value to non-specialists and aid in the interpretation of the relevance of novel and existing variants identified in DNA sequencing data.

description: We present the results of an ultra-deep radio continuum survey, containing $\sim480$ hours of observations, of the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tucanae with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. This comprehensive coverage of the cluster allows us to reach RMS noise levels of 1.19 $μJy~\textrm{beam}^{-1}$ at 5.5 GHz, 940 $nJy~\textrm{beam}^{-1}$ at 9 GHz, and 790 $nJy~\textrm{beam}^{-1}$ in a stacked 7.25 GHz image. This is the deepest radio image of a globular cluster, and the deepest image ever made with the Australia Telescope Compact Array. We identify ATCA J002405.702-720452.361, a faint ($6.3\pm1.2$ $μJy$ at 5.5 GHz, $5.4\pm0.9$ $μJy$ at 9 GHz), flat-spectrum ($α=-0.31\pm0.54$) radio source that is positionally coincident with the cluster centre and potentially associated with a faint X-ray source. No convincing optical counterpart was identified. We use radio, X-ray, optical, and UV data to show that explanations involving a background active galactic nucleus, a chromospherically active binary, or a binary involving a white dwarf are unlikely. The most plausible explanations are that the source is an undiscovered millisecond pulsar or a weakly accreting black hole. If the X-ray source is associated with the radio source, the fundamental plane of black hole activity suggests a black hole mass of $\sim54-6000$ M$_{\odot}$, indicating an intermediate-mass black hole or a heavy stellar-mass black hole.

description: In recent years, service-oriented-based Internet of Things (IoT) has received massive attention from research and industry. Integrating and composing smart objects functionalities or their services is required to create and promote more complex IoT applications with advanced features. When many smart objects are deployed, selecting the most appropriate set of smart objects to compose a service by considering both energy and quality of service (QoS) is an essential and challenging task. In this paper, we reduced the problem of finding an optimal balance between QoS level and the consumed energy of the IoT service composition to a bi-objective shortest path optimization (BSPO) problem and used an exact algorithm named pulse to solve the problem. The BSPO has two objectives, minimizing the QoS including execution time, network latency, and service price, and minimize the energy consumption of the composite service. Experimental evaluations show that the proposed approach has short execution time in various complex service profiles. Meanwhile, it can obtain good performance in energy consumption and thus network lifetime while maintaining a reasonable QoS level.

description: This study aimed to identify sex-related differences in clothing-microclimate and subjective perceptions while wearing two outdoor jackets in a setting that is representative for outdoor sports at a leisure level. Ten male and 10 female subjects were testing a thin one-layer jacket and a wind- and waterproof three-layer membrane jacket in a climatic chamber (12 °C, 40% relative humidity) during rest, exercise and recovery. Relative humidity, temperature and sweat residues in the clothing system, perceptions of comfort and physiological parameters were measured. For females, relative humidity, sweat residues and loss of body mass were significantly lower without significantly influencing perceptions of comfort. It can be concluded that sex has a strong effect on clothing-microclimate in outdoor jackets with drier microclimate for females. Furthermore, our findings suggest that females are more sensitive to humidity within the clothing system and that they cool easier, especially in periods of rest.

description: The recently developed effective interaction method for the hyperspherical harmonic formalism is extended to noncentral forces. Binding energies and radii of three- and four-body nuclei are calculated with AV6 and AV14 NN potentials. Excellent results for the convergence of the expansion are found, particularly for the three-nucleon system. Due to the higher density the convergence rate is a bit slower for the alpha particle. In comparison to central potential models there is only a very slight deterioration of the convergence due the tensor force, while other potential terms have no visible effect on the convergence. The obtained values for binding energy and radii also agree well with the results in the literature obtained with other few-body techniques.

Modeling and analyzing a photo-driven molecular motor system: Ratchet dynamics and non-linear optical spectra

description: A light-driven molecular motor system is investigated using a multi-state Brownian ratchet model described by a single effective coordinate with multiple electronic states in a dissipative environment. The rotational motion of the motor system is investigated on the basis of wavepacket dynamics. A current determined from the interplay between a fast photochemical isomerization (photoisomerization) process triggered by pulses and a slow thermal isomerization (thermalization) process arising from an overdamped environment is numerically evaluated. For this purpose, we employ the multi-state low-temperature quantum Smoluchowski equations that allow us to simulate the fast quantum electronic dynamics in the overdamped environment. We analyze the motor efficiency by numerically integrating the equations of motion for a rotator system driven by repeatedly impulsive excitations. When the timescales of the pulse repetition, photoisomerization, and thermalization processes are separated, the average rotational speed of the motor is determined by the timescale of thermalization. In this regime, the average rotational current can be described by a simple equation derived from a rate equation for the thermalization process. When laser pulses are applied repeatedly and the timescales of the photoisomerization and pulse repetition are close, the details of the photoisomerization process become important to analyze the entire rotational process. We examine the possibility of observing the photoisomerization and the thermalization processes associated with stationary rotating dynamics of the motor system by spectroscopic means, e.g. pump-probe, transient absorption, and two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy techniques.
