description: Indirect methods for visual SLAM are gaining popularity due to their robustness to environmental variations. ORB-SLAM2 \cite{orbslam2} is a benchmark method in this domain, however, it consumes significant time for computing descriptors that never get reused unless a frame is selected as a keyframe. To overcome these problems, we present FastORB-SLAM which is lightweight and efficient as it tracks keypoints between adjacent frames without computing descriptors. To achieve this, a two-stage coarse-to-fine descriptor independent keypoint matching method is proposed based on sparse optical flow. In the first stage, we predict initial keypoint correspondences via a simple but effective motion model and then robustly establish the correspondences via pyramid-based sparse optical flow tracking. In the second stage, we leverage the constraints of the motion smoothness and epipolar geometry to refine the correspondences. In particular, our method computes descriptors only for keyframes. We test FastORB-SLAM on \textit{TUM} and \textit{ICL-NUIM} RGB-D datasets and compare its accuracy and efficiency to nine existing RGB-D SLAM methods. Qualitative and quantitative results show that our method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and is about twice as fast as the ORB-SLAM2.

title: Genetics of susceptibility to tuberculosis

description: Convincing evidence that activated macrophages play a critical role in control of mycobacterial diseases has been clearly established from animal and in-vitro studies. Macrophages produce a variety of molecules upon appropriate stimulation, which act in concert towards eventual killing of bacteria. People with SUb-optimal macrophage activation are more susceptible to infection with intracellular pathogens. My project aims to answer two questions relating to genetic regulation of macrophage activation in tuberculosis: do macrophage genes regulate microbial-induced responses and do macrophage genes influence susceptibility to tuberculosis? A whole blood assay was used to investigate IFN-y responsiveness in healthy individuals and those who develop tuberculosis in The Gambia. Cytokine responses to lipopolysaccaride (LPS), Lipoarabinomanan (LAM) and the enhancing effect of IFN-y on these stimulants were measured. LPS induced IL-l 0 levels was higher in recovered TB cases than in controls (p=0.02). LPS and LAM induced cytokines were highly correlated (p<0.0001) similarly, levels of IL-1β and TNF were highly correlated (P<0.0001). Ten new polymorphisms were detected by sequencing specific regions within the promoter of IFNG and IFNGR1 genes. One, a double deletion of TT in the promoter of IFNGR1, abolishes a GAS binding site at position -470 and another, a C/T transition, is close to a putative NF-kappa β binding site at position -56 in the IFNGR1 gene (positions are relative to the transcription start site). These along with published polymorphisms at some macrophage candidate gene loci were genotyped. Comparisons were made to determine whether different alleles at candidate gene loci influence macrophage cytokine responses. TNFA-863, LTA Nco1 lL1RN and NRAMP1 (469+14) polymorphisms were shown to influence macrophage cytokine levels significantly. TNFA-863 was associated with LPS induced TNF (P< 0.05), LTA was associated with LAM and LPS induced TNF and IL- β levels (p< 0.01). NRAMP1 (469+14) was associated with LAM induced 1L-10 (P< 0.01) and IL1RN was associated with LAM and LPS induced IL-10 (P<0.05).

Alleles 1 (G) of TNFA-308, 2 (A) of TNFA-238, 1 (T) of IL1B-511 and 2 (ddel/T) of IFNGR1 were significantly associated with TB in the panel of samples studied. For the microsatellite markers, allele 5 of IL9 (TG)n repeat in intron 4 and allele 3 of the Z DNA promoter polymorphism NRAMP1, were significantly associated with TB.

NRAMP1 INT4 variant was significantly associated with both TB and LAM induced IL-10 secretion.

description: Rhinolophus arcuatus angustifolius subsp. nov. Type from Wetter Island, Southwest Islands, Flores Sea, Dutch East Indies. No. D, 1371 Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden. Adult male in alcohol. Collected June 7, 1898, by Dr. Schardler. Characters.— Like arcuatus from the Philippines but lancet and horseshoe a little narrower and sella much narrower, 2.1 at base against 3.5 in arcuatus. Tail the same length as tibia instead of being shorter. In this character it approaches toxopei, in which the tail is longer than the tibia. Wing structure as in arcuatus. Skull as in arcuatus but upper premolar two half external, the canine and premolar three being separated by a narrow space. Nasal swellings converging as in arcuatus, being narrower across top than in beccarii. Measurements.— Forearm 46.6; third finger, metacarpal 35.2, first phalanx 14.1, second phalanx 22.3; fourth finger, metacarpal 35.7, first phalanx 9.7, second phalanx 13.6; fifth finger, metacarpal 36.5, first phalanx 10.3, second phalanx 12.3. Ear 22; tail 21.6; tibia 21.6. Skull: greatest length 20.1; condylo-basal length 16.8; palatal length 1.8; width across nasal swellings 5.2; interorbital width 1.7; zygomatic width 9.6; mastoid width 9.4; width of braincase 8.1; upper toothrow 7.8; width across canines 5.3; maxillary width 7.5. Specimens examined.— One, the type. Remarks.— This form represents an extension of the range of true arcuatus, being less aberrant than toxopei from Buru Island to the north. With arcuatus now known from Sumatra and Wetter Island, it should be found on intermediate islands or in the Celebes.

description: Article explores the relationship between the agrarian structure of the EU countries and their economic and environmental productivity, which places it within the scope of the sustainable intensification of agriculture researches. The aim of the study is to verify the hypothesis about the positive impact of concentration of land in agriculture for its economic performance and negative on the environment. As a measure of the structure GINI coefficient of land concentration was used, as indicators of economic and environmental productivity, value of production per hectare of UAA and production value which caused emission of 1 kg of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gases. The existence of the correlation was examined using linear regression model. The results showed the lack of relationship between the concentration of land and its productivity, and a positive relationship between concentration and agriculture environmental productivity.
title: An investigation into male gender identity and the experience of childhood sexual abuse
Creators: name: Briers, Stephen J.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2000

description: Background and Aims In view of limitations in existing models, a study was devised to examine the impact of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) on masculine gender identity in relation to other background factors. Design and Participants A mixed design incorporated qualitative and quantitative components. A theoretical sample of ten abused men was interviewed, five of whom identified as heterosexual and five as homosexual. Measures Interview transcripts were subjected to Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (Smith 1996) and a thematic coding frame developed. Modified Repertory Grids (Kelly 1955) were administered to examine participants' conceptualisation of gender categories and to elucidate patterns of identification between participants, abusers, and other key figures. A further selection of transcript data was micro-coded in order to map gender associations of specific participant responses. Results Findings indicated that, while CSA did compromise identifications with 'masculine' values of power, agency and control, participants also reported conflicts over their reduced capacity for identification with positive 'feminine' characteristics. These included emotional expression and other interpersonal competencies. Contrary to the Masculinity Model of Adjustment (Antill and Cunningham 1980), many participants expressed ambivalence towards conventional gender roles, and had experienced attempts to conform to them as ego-dystonic. The results provided some evidence consistent with theories of Gender Shame (Mendel 1992), and supported the view that an adequate conceptualisation of the effects of CSA upon gender should incorporate interactions between abuse and other aspects of the individual's developmental and social context. Clinical Implications The study supported the view that the framework of conventional gender and sexual categories may be of limited relevance in work with sexually abused men. It endorsed the need for clinicians to set aside some existing assumptions in the literature, and develop more sophisticated models of gender more congruent with survivors' perceptions regarding the impact of CSA upon gender and sexuality.

description: We present a detailed derivation and thin interface analysis of a phase-field model that can accurately simulate microstructural pattern formation for low-speed directional solidification of a dilute binary alloy. This advance with respect to previous phase-field models is achieved by the addition of a phenomenological "antitrapping" solute current in the mass conservation relation [A. Karma, Phys. Rev. Lett 87, 115701 (2001)]. This antitrapping current counterbalances the physical, albeit artificially large, solute trapping effect generated when a mesoscopic interface thickness is used to simulate the interface evolution on experimental length and time scales. Furthermore, it provides additional freedom in the model to suppress other spurious effects that scale with this thickness when the diffusivity is unequal in solid and liquid [R. F. Almgren, SIAM J. Appl. Math 59, 2086 (1999)], which include surface diffusion and a curvature correction to the Stefan condition. This freedom can also be exploited to make the kinetic undercooling of the interface arbitrarily small even for mesoscopic values of both the interface thickness and the phase-field relaxation time, as for the solidification of pure melts [A. Karma and W.-J. Rappel, Phys. Rev. E 53, R3017 (1996)]. The performance of the model is demonstrated by calculating accurately for the first time within a phase-field approach the Mullins-Sekerka stability spectrum of a planar interface and nonlinear cellular shapes for realistic alloy parameters and growth conditions.

description: The aim of the study was to determine the satisfaction of farmers with their work and the assessment of the financial situation at the farm. The analysis was based on the survey conducted in the Łeczna district among farmers applying for direct payments. The study involved 152 farms. These were farms participating in the AEP and others. Questions on the form have been developed using Likert scale. There was no statistically significant difference in the assessment of job satisfaction and the financial situation of farms between the two analyzed groups. It was found that the size of the farm and the financial situation at the farm are significantly positively correlated with work satisfaction. Off−farm income was declared by 73% of households benefitting from AEP, and only 59% of the others. The analysis shows that off-farm income negatively influences the farmer’s satisfaction with agricultural work.

description: Der Oberrheingraben und insbesondere das Heidelberger Becken spielen eine Schlüsselrolle bei der Untersuchung der Änderungen im Klima und der tektonischen Aktivitäten im Tertiär und Quartär. In den letzten Jahren wurden einige Forschungsbohrungen abgeteuft, um Daten für eine neue Interpretation der Geologie des nördlichen Oberrheingrabens zu erhalten. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden die Bohrungen Heidelberg, Viernheim und Ludwigshafen-Parkinsel sowie die flacheren Bohrungen Pfungstadt, Stadtwerke Viernheim and Hüttenfeld anhand der dort durchgeführten geophysikalischen Bohrlochmessungen näher untersucht. Die physikalischen Eigenschaften der einzelnen an den Kernen beschriebenen Lithologien werden mit Hilfe der Daten der Bohrlochmessungen charakterisiert. Anschließend erfolgt eine Korrelation zwischen benachbarten Bohrlöchern, um aus den charakteristischen Änderungen im Parameter‚ natürliche Radioaktivität Aussagen zur Änderung der sedimentären Liefergebiete (Rhein, Neckar, Pfälzerwald und Odenwald) zu treffen. Eine Auswertung mit der statistischen Methode der Clusteranalyse ermöglicht es, aus den Bohrlochmessungen Bereiche mit einheitlichen physikalischen Eigenschaften zu finden und damit die möglichen sedimentären Liefergebiete einzugrenzen.

 HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This species was described by Werner (1902) from Bismarkburg in Togo. Later studies confirmed that it is a valid species (see Schmitz et al. 2005). Our surveys demonstrated its occurrence in ecological zones I, II, III, and IV. It is a secretive species, often dwelling in leaf litter. This species is particularly common in the forests of ecological zone II: for instance, many individuals were captured by us in the Fazao forests.

description: The pursuit of having an appropriate level of income inequality should be viewed as one of the biggest challenges facing academic scholars as well as policy makers. Unfortunately, research on this issue is currently lacking. This study is the first to introduce the theoretical concept of targeted level of income inequality for a given size of population. By employing the World Bank's data on population size and Gini coefficient from sixty-nine countries in 2012, this study finds that the relationship between Gini coefficient and natural logarithm of population size is nonlinear in the form of a second-degree polynomial function. The estimated results using regression analysis show that the majority of countries in the sample have Gini coefficients either too high or too low compared to their appropriate values. These findings could be used as a guideline for policy makers before designing and implementing public policies in order to achieve the targeted level of income inequality.

description: We present a systematic analysis of the phase lags associated with the type-C QPOs in GRS 1915+105 using RXTE data. Our sample comprises of 620 RXTE observations with type-C QPOs ranging from ~0.4 Hz to ~6.3 Hz. Based on our analysis, we confirm that the QPO phase lags decrease with QPO frequency, and change sign from positive to negative at a QPO frequency of ~2 Hz. In addition, we find that the slope of this relation is significantly different between QPOs below and above 2 Hz. The relation between the QPO lags and QPO rms can be well fitted with a broken line: as the QPO lags go from negative to positive, the QPO rms first increases, reaching its maximum at around zero lag, and then decreases. The phase-lag behaviour of the subharmonic of the QPO is similar to that of the QPO fundamental, where the subharmonic lags decrease with subharmonic frequency and change sign from positive to negative at a subharmonic frequency of ~1 Hz; on the contrary, the second harmonic of the QPO shows a quite different phase-lag behaviour, where all the second harmonics show hard lags that remain more or less constant. For both the QPO and its (sub)harmonics, the slope of the lag-energy spectra shows a similar evolution with frequency as the average phase lags. This suggests that the lag-energy spectra drives the average phase lags. We discuss the possibility for the change in lag sign, and the physical origin of the QPO lags.

 HABITATS AND DISTRIBUTION. — This is an anthropophilous species, which is extremely abundant around human settlements. The diet of this species in Lomé was studied by Akani et al. (2013). The Lomé populations showed an insectivorous diet more similar to that of Cotonou (Benin), also situated in the Dahomey Gap, than to those of the forest towns in Nigeria (Akani et al. 2013).
NOTES
 This species complex was recently reviewed by Mediannikov et al. (2012) and Trape et al. (2012) who demonstrated that specimens from Togo belong to the nominal form. Trape et al. (2012) indicated a scale range of 60-82 at mid-body; the specimens examined by us in Togo fall within this range (68-72). The presence of A. agama in Togo was reported by several authors (Matschie 1891, 1893; Tornier 1901; Grandison 1956).

description: The aim of the research was to determine the importance of liquidity of agricultural enterprises in Poland for their development – compared to trading companies end industrial entities. It was assumed that the conditions of industry, according to a study presented in the literature, have an impact on liquidity of companies, however, the relationship between the liquidity of companies and their profitability should be similar, regardless of the industry (sector). To achieve its objective, data published by the Central Statistical Office in the context of the Financial Results of Economic Entities were analyzed. The study included an assessment of agricultural enterprises, industrial and trading entities, which employ at least 10 people. Time range studies are the years 2006-2014. The article assesses the liquidity in static terms. As a measure of business development profitability indicators and indicators of the dynamics of the assets of the surveyed companies were used. It has been shown that agricultural enterprises have achieved the highest level of liquidity among the studied groups, as well as the highest rates of growth of profitability. At the same time it was confirmed that a high level of liquidity may be one of the factors affecting the development of agricultural enterprises.
Ammoniated electron as a solvent stabilized multimer radical anion

description: The excess electron in liquid ammonia ("ammoniated electron") is commonly viewed as a cavity electron in which the s-type wave function fills the interstitial void between 6-9 ammonia molecules. Here we examine an alternative model in which the ammoniated electron is regarded as a solvent stabilized multimer radical anion, as was originally suggested by Symons [Chem. Soc. Rev. 1976, 5, 337]. In this model, most of the excess electron density resides in the frontier orbitals of N atoms in the ammonia molecules forming the solvation cavity; a fraction of this spin density is transferred to the molecules in the second solvation shell. The cavity is formed due to the repulsion between negatively charged solvent molecules. Using density functional theory calculations for small ammonia cluster anions in the gas phase, it is demonstrated that such core anions would semi-quantitatively account for the observed pattern of Knight shifts for 1-H and 14-N nuclei observed by NMR spectroscopy and the downshifted stretching and bending modes observed by infrared spectroscopy. It is speculated that the excess electrons in other aprotic solvents (but not in water and alcohols) might be, in this respect, analogous to the ammoniated electron, with substantial transfer of the spin density into the frontier N and C orbitals of methyl, amino, and amide groups forming the solvation cavity.

description: Zwei Hauptdünengebiete kommen im Gebiet westlich von Nieuwpoort vor: die Jüngeren Dünen entlang der heutigen Küstenlinie sowie die Älteren Dünen, die in der Nähe der französischen Grenze isoliert in der Küstenebene auftreten und ebenfalls küstenparallel verlaufen. Beide Systeme wurden geologisch und paläontologisch untersucht. Es wird vermutet, daß das Ältere Dünensystem in der Zeit vor 4300 v. h. entstanden ist. Ein Streifen weiterer älterer Dünensedimente (der jedoch nicht so alt wie das Ältere Dünensystem ist) wurde, ebenfalls nahe der französischen Grenze, unter den Jüngeren Dünen gefunden. Das Alter dieser Sedimente liegt zwischen 2800 und 900 v. h. Bei der Entstehung der Jüngeren Dünen wurden zwei Subphasen unterschieden. Vor dem 14. Jahrhundert bildete das Dünengebiet eine relativ ebene Fläche. Ihre Entstehung markiert das Ende einer aktiven äolischen Phase, die im 11. Jahrhundert n. Chr. wahrscheinlich als Folge damals verstärkt auftretender Sturmfluten einsetzte (Dunkerque-3 Transgression). Mit dem Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts begannen sich große Sicheldünen zu bilden, die Teile der früheren Landoberfläche begruben. Einige von ihnen bewegen sich noch heute. Die Entwicklung des Jüngeren Dünengebietes bei De Panne wird eingehend beschrieben, einschließlich der Vegetationsgeschichte des Dünengebietes und der anschließenden Küstenebene. Einige Aufmerksamkeit wird auch der Lage früherer Küstenlinien gewidmet.

description: Objectives: Several studies have focused on the role of working memory (WM) in predicting mathematical and reading literacy. Alternative models of WM have been proposed and a modality-dependent model of WM, distinguishing between verbal and visuospatial WM modalities, has been advanced. In addition, the relationship between verbal and visuospatial WM and academic achievement has not been extensively and consistently studied, especially when it comes to distinguishing between mathematical and reading tasks. Method: In the present study, we tested a large group of middle school children in several measures of WM, and in mathematical and reading tasks. Results: Confirmatory factor analyses showed that verbal and visuospatial WM can be differentiated and that these factors have a different predictive power in explaining unique portions of variance in reading and mathematics. Conclusions: Our findings point to the importance of distinguishing between WM modalities in evaluating the relationship between mathematics and reading.

description: Let $H_r(n,p)$ denote the maximum number of Hamiltonian cycles in an $n$-vertex $r$-graph with density $p \in (0,1)$. The expected number of Hamiltonian cycles in the random $r$-graph model $G_r(n,p)$ is $E(n,p)=p^n(n-1)!/2$ and in the random graph model $G_r(n,m)$ with $m=p\binom{n}{r}$ it is, in fact, slightly smaller than $E(n,p)$. For graphs, $H_2(n,p)$ is proved to be only larger than $E(n,p)$ by a polynomial factor and it is an open problem whether a quasi-random graph with density $p$ can be larger than $E(n,p)$ by a polynomial factor. For hypergraphs (i.e. $r \ge 3$) the situation is drastically different. For all $r \ge 3$ it is proved that $H_r(n,p)$ is larger than $E(n,p)$ by an {\em exponential} factor and, moreover, there are quasi-random $r$-graphs with density $p$ whose number of Hamiltonian cycles is larger than $E(n,p)$ by an exponential factor.

description: The aim of this article is to present the current law of compulsory insurance of crops in agriculture carried out with a subsidies from the state budget. In the paper also described essential changes introduced to the crop insurance law in period 2008-2015. It was found that crop insurance did not become widely widespread in Poland. The share of insured crops area increased from 24% in 2008 to 32% in 2015, although since 2008 crop insurance in Poland became compulsory at level of 50% of crop area. The main and still remain unsolved is the problem of insurance against drought. This type of insurance practically does not exist and is still awaited by farmers.
A Modified chi^2-Test for CMB Analyses

description: We present a new general procedure for determining a given set of quantities. To this end, we define certain statistic, that we call 'modified $χ^2$' ($χ^2_M$), because of its similarity with the standard $χ^2$. The terms of this $χ^2_M$ are made up of the fluctuations of an unbiased estimator of some statistical quantities, and certain weights. Only the diagonal terms of the covariance matrix explicitly appear in our statistic, while the full covariance matrix (and not its inverse) is implicitly included in the calculation of the weights. Choosing these weights we may obtain, through minimising the $χ^2_M$, the estimator that provides the minimum RMS, either for those quantities or for the parameters on which these quantities depend. In this paper, we describe our method in the context of Cosmic Microwave Background experiments, in order to obtain either the statistical properties of the maps, or the cosmological parameters. The test here is constructed out of some estimator of the two-point correlation function at different angles. For the problem of one parameter estimation, we show that our method has the same power as the maximum likelihood method. We have also applied this method to Monte Carlo simulations of the COBE-DMR data, as well as to the actual 4-year data, obtaining consistent results with previous analyses. We also provide a very good analytical approximation to the distribution function of our statistic, which could also be useful in other contexts.

description: X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis is a widely applied technique for the quantitative analysis of thin films up to the $μ$m scale because of its non-destructive nature and because it is easily automated. When low uncertainties of the analytical results in the few percent range are required, the non-linear secondary fluorescence effect in multi-elemental samples may complicate an otherwise straightforward quantification, since it can easily exceed a relative contribution of 20%. The conventional solution, to rely on good performing reference samples, is hindered by their low availability, especially for thin film applications. To address this challenge, we demonstrate a flexible production method of multilayered, alloyed thin films with significant secondary fluorescence contributions. We use reference-free XRF analysis to validate the reliability of the physical model for secondary fluorescence, which includes a thorough uncertainty estimation. The investigated specimens are being qualified as calibration samples for XRF or other quantitative analyses.

description: A system of permanent magnet quadrupoles (PMQs) is going to be realized by INFNLNS to be used as a collection system for the injection of laser driven ion beams up to 60 AMeV in an energy selector based on four resistive dipoles. This system is the first element of the ELIMED (ELI-Beamlines MEDical and Multidisciplinary applications) beam transport, dosimetry and irradiation line that will be developed by INFN-LNS (It) and installed at the ELI-Beamlines facility in Prague (Cz). ELIMED will be the first users open transport beam-line where a controlled laser-driven ion beam will be used for multidisciplinary researches. The definition of well specified characteristics, both in terms of performances and field quality, of the magnetic lenses is crucial for the system realization, for the accurate study of the beam dynamics and for the proper matching with the magnetic selection system which will be designed in the next months. Here, we report the design of the collection system and the adopted solutions in order to realize a robust system form the magnetic point of view. Moreover, the first preliminary transport simulations are also described.

General boundary quantum field theory: Timelike hypersurfaces in Klein-Gordon theory

description: We show that the real massive Klein-Gordon theory admits a description in terms of states on various timelike hypersurfaces and amplitudes associated to regions bounded by them. This realizes crucial elements of the general boundary framework for quantum field theory. The hypersurfaces considered are hyperplanes on the one hand and timelike hypercylinders on the other hand. The latter lead to the first explicit examples of amplitudes associated with finite regions of space, and admit no standard description in terms of ``initial'' and ``final'' states. We demonstrate a generalized probability interpretation in this example, going beyond the applicability of standard quantum mechanics.

description: The aim of the study was to determine changes in the level of utilization of potential of yielding of cereals in in Poland in the years 1992-2015. In the study were used data from Central Statistical Office and Research Centre for Cultivar Testing. It was found that the level of utilization of potential yielding of cereals varieties in agricultural production in Poland grew slowly and in period 2010-2015 it was 50%, while in period 1992-1995 it was only 44%. A higher level of utilization of potential yielding were observed for intensively produced cereals (over 50%) while for extensively species of cereals it was only about 40%.In the analyzed period, yielding of cereal in production increased in proportion to the increase in yield in field trials, so progress obtained in in plant breeding was effectively disseminated in production. Further reducing of the yield gap can occur only if agriculture production on poor soils will reduced and will be improved commonly used production technology.

A flexible modelling of galaxy assembly bias

description: We use the {\sc Illustris TNG300} magneto-hydrodynamic simulation, the {\sc SAGE} semi-analytical model, and the subhalo abundance matching technique (SHAM) to examine the diversity in predictions for galaxy assembly bias (i.e. the difference in the large scale clustering of galaxies at a fixed halo mass due to correlations with the assembly history and other properties of host haloes). We consider samples of galaxies selected according to their stellar mass or star formation rate at various redshifts. We find that all models predict an assembly bias signal of different magnitude, redshift evolution, and dependence with selection criteria and number density. To model these non-trivial dependences, we propose an extension to the standard SHAM technique so it can include arbitrary amounts of assembly bias. We do this by preferentially selecting subhaloes with the same internal property but different {\it individual} large-scale bias. We find that with this model, we can successfully reproduce the galaxy assembly bias signal in either {\sc SAGE} or the {\sc TNG}, for all redshifts and galaxy number densities. We anticipate that this model can be used to constrain the level of assembly bias in observations and aid in the creation of more realistic mock galaxy catalogues.
