description: This experiment is a follow-up of our first study on a similar topic (pre-registered on June 3rd and Aug 15th, data collected from Jun 3rd to Aug 27nd, 2020). Our Experiment 1 has found that prosocial behaviour (vs. proself behaviour) enhanced positive affect and reduced negative affect. In the current experiment, we are interested in replicating and extending these findings via examining prosocial (vs. proself) behaviours’ aftereffects on psychological reactions towards the protest.

description: Эндометриоз – одно из самых распространенных и загадочных гинекологических заболеваний. Женщины с этим диагнозом в два раза чаще сталкиваются с бесплодием и невынашива- нием беременности. Эндометриоз приводит к целому комплексу структурных и функциональных из- менений на всех уровнях женской репродуктивной системы. Одними из ключевых механизмов бес- плодия при эндометриозе являются имплантационные нарушения, патогенез которых остается пол- ностью неизученным, однако известно, что в нем задействовано множество факторов, включающих в себя хроническое воспаление, резистентность к прогестерону, гамето- и эмбриотоксическое воздей- ствие, изменение рецептивности эндометрия и паттернов маточных сокращений. Важно знать, как эти изменения влияют на фертильность, поскольку полное понимание патогенеза имплантационных нарушений при эндометриозе позволит повысить уровень как диагностических, так и лечебных ме- роприятий по преодолению эндометриоз-ассоциированного бесплодия.

description: Power cables have complex geometries in order to reduce their AC resistance. The cross-section of a cable consists of several conductors that are electrically insulated from each other to counteract the current displacement caused by the skin effect. Furthermore, the individual conductors are twisted over the cable's length. This geometry has a non-standard symmetry - a combination of translation and rotation. Exploiting this property allows formulating a dimensionally reduced boundary value problem. Dimension reduction is desirable, otherwise the electromagnetic modeling of these cables becomes impracticable due to tremendous computational efforts. We investigate 2D eddy current boundary value problems which still allow the analysis of 3D effects, such as the twisting of conductor layers.

description: Correlation filters (CFs) are a class of classifiers that are attractive for object localization and tracking applications. Traditionally, CFs have been designed in the frequency domain using the discrete Fourier transform (DFT), where correlation is efficiently implemented. However, existing CF designs do not account for the fact that the multiplication of two DFTs in the frequency domain corresponds to a circular correlation in the time/spatial domain. Because this was previously unaccounted for, prior CF designs are not truly optimal, as their optimization criteria do not accurately quantify their optimization intention. In this paper, we introduce new zero-aliasing constraints that completely eliminate this aliasing problem by ensuring that the optimization criterion for a given CF corresponds to a linear correlation rather than a circular correlation. This means that previous CF designs can be significantly improved by this reformulation. We demonstrate the benefits of this new CF design approach with several important CFs. We present experimental results on diverse data sets and present solutions to the computational challenges associated with computing these CFs. Code for the CFs described in this paper and their respective zero-aliasing versions is available at http://vishnu.boddeti.net/projects/correlation-filters.html

description: Prediction of the electronic structure of functional materials is essential for the engineering of new devices. Conventional electronic structure prediction methods based on density functional theory (DFT) suffer from not only high computational cost, but also limited accuracy arising from the approximations of the exchange-correlation functional. Surrogate methods based on machine learning have garnered much attention as a viable alternative to bypass these limitations, especially in the prediction of solid-state band gaps, which motivated this research study. Herein, we construct a random forest regression model for band gaps of double perovskite materials, using a dataset of 1306 band gaps computed with the GLLBSC (Gritsenko, van Leeuwen, van Lenthe, and Baerends solid correlation) functional. Among the 20 physical features employed, we find that the bulk modulus, superconductivity temperature, and cation electronegativity exhibit the highest importance scores, consistent with the physics of the underlying electronic structure. Using the top 10 features, a model accuracy of 85.6% with a root mean square error of 0.64 eV is obtained, comparable to previous studies. Our results are significant in the sense that they attest to the potential of machine learning regressions for the rapid screening of promising candidate functional materials.

description: Variation in the microbial cycling of nutrients and carbon in the ocean is an emergent property of complex planktonic communities. While recent findings have considerably expanded our understanding of the diversity and distribution of nitrogen (N2) fixing marine diazotrophs, knowledge gaps remain regarding ecological interactions between diazotrophs and other community members. Using quantitative 16S and 18S V4 rDNA amplicon sequencing, we surveyed eukaryotic and prokaryotic microbial communities from samples collected in August 2016 and 2017 across the Western North Atlantic. Leveraging and significantly expanding an earlier published 2015 molecular dataset, we examined microbial community structure and ecological co-occurrence relationships associated with intense hotspots of N2 fixation previously reported at sites off the Southern New England Shelf and Mid-Atlantic Bight. Overall, we observed a negative relationship between eukaryotic diversity and both N2 fixation and net community production (NCP). Maximum N2 fixation rates occurred at sites with high abundances of mixotrophic stramenopiles, notably Chrysophyceae. Network analysis revealed such stramenopiles to be keystone taxa alongside the haptophyte diazotroph host Braarudosphaera bigelowii and chlorophytes. Our findings highlight an intriguing relationship between marine stramenopiles and high N2 fixation coastal sites.

description: We present an algorithm to search for the faint spectrum of a second star mixed with the spectrum of a brighter star in high resolution spectra. We model optical stellar spectra as the sum of two input spectra drawn from a vast library of stars throughout the H-R diagram. From typical spectra having resolution of R=60,000, we are able to detect companions as faint as 1% relative to the primary star in approximately the V and R bandpasses of photometry. We are also able to find evidence for triple and quadruple systems, given that any additional companions are sufficiently bright. The precise threshold percentage depends on the SNR of the spectrum and the properties of the two stars. For cases of non-detection, we place a limit on the brightness of any potential companions. This algorithm is useful for detecting both faint orbiting companions and background stars that are angularly close to a foreground target star. The size of the entrance slit to the spectrometer, 0.87 x 3 arcsec (typically), sets the angular domain within which the second star can be detected. We analyzed Keck-HIRES spectra of 1160 California Kepler Survey objects of interest (KOI) searching for the secondary spectra, with the two goals of alerting the community to two possible host stars of the transiting planet and to dilution of the light curve. We report 63 California Kepler Survey objects of interest showing spectroscopic evidence of a secondary star.

description: Microstructura lly clean, isov alently P-doped BaFe2As2 (Ba-122) single crystalline thin films have been prepared on MgO (001) substrates by molecular beam epitaxy. These films show a superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of over 30 K although P content is around 0.22, which is lower than the optimal one for single crystals (i.e., 0.33). The enhanced Tc at this doping level is attributed to the in-plane tensile strain. The strained film shows high transport self-field critical current densities (Jc) of over 6 MA/cm2 at 4.2 K, which are among the highest for Fe based superconductors (FeSCs). In-field Jc exceeds 0.1 MA/cm2 at m0H = 35 T for H||ab and m0H = 18 T for H||c at 4.2 K, respectively, in spite of moderate upper critical fields compared to other FeSCs with similar Tc. Structural investigations reveal no defects or misoriented grains pointing to strong pinning centers. We relate this unexpected high Jc to a strong enhancement of the vortex core energy at optimal Tc, driven by in-plane strain and doping. These unusually high Jc make P-doped Ba-122 very favorable for high-field magnet applications.

A model roseobacter, ruegeria pomeroyi dss-3, employs a diffusible killing mechanism to eliminate competitors

description: The Roseobacter clade is a group of alphaproteobacteria that have diverse metabolic and regulatory capabilities. They are abundant in marine environments and have a substantial role in marine ecology and biogeochemistry. However, interactions between roseobacters and other bacterioplankton have not been extensively explored. In this study, we identify a killing mechanism in the model roseobacter Ruegeria pomeroyi DSS-3 by coculturing it with a group of phylogenetically diverse bacteria. The killing mechanism is diffusible and occurs when cells are grown both on surfaces and in suspension and is dependent on cell density. A screen of random transposon mutants revealed that the killing phenotype, as well as resistance to killing, require genes within an -8-kb putative gamma-butyrolactone synthesis gene cluster, which resembles similar pheromone-sensing systems in actinomycetes that regulate secondary metabolite production, including antimicrobials. Transcriptomics revealed the gene cluster is highly upregulated in wild-type DSS-3 compared to a nonkiller mutant when grown in liquid coculture with a roseobacter target. Our findings show that R. pomeroyi has the capability to eliminate closely and distantly related competitors, providing a mechanism to alter the community structure and function in its native habitats. IMPORTANCE Bacteria carry out critical ecological and biogeochemical processes and form the foundations of ecosystems. Identifying the factors that influence microbial community composition and the functional capabilities encoded within them is key to predicting how microbes impact an ecosystem. Because microorganisms must compete for limited space and nutrients to promote their own propagation, they have evolved diverse mechanisms to outcompete or kill competitors. However, the genes and regulatory strategies that promote such competitive abilities are largely underexplored, particularly in free-living marine bacteria. Here, genetics and omics techniques are used to investigate how a model marine bacterium is capable of quickly eliminating natural competitors in coculture. We determined that a previously uncharacterized horizontally acquired gene cluster is required for this bacterium to kill diverse competitors. This work represents an important step toward understanding the mechanisms bacterial populations can use to become dominant members in marine microbial communities.

description: A new mechanism of electromagnetic radiation by electrons under the influence of a dense neutrino flux, termed "the spin light of electron" in neutrino flux ($SLe_ν$), is considered. It is shown that in the case when electrons are moving against the neutrino flux with relativistic energy there is a reasonable increase of the efficiency of the energy transfer from the neutrino flux to the electromagnetic radiation by the $SLe_ν$ mechanism. The proposed radiation process is applied to an astrophysical environment with characteristics peculiar to supernovae. It is shown that a reasonable portion of energy of the neutrino flux can be transferred by the $SLe_ν$ to gamma-rays .

description: Guilty pleasures refer to something pleasurable that violates societal or personal norms. Even though the concept is often used in public discourse to refer to hedonic media content, it is little researched yet. In this project, we want to explore the concept’s nature in more depth. We first aim to explore what content is usually used and perceived as "guilty pleasures". Second, we will explore if guilty pleasure in the context of media use can be considered a gendered concept. Empirical and anecdotal evidence points towards the idea that guilty pleasures are a gendered form of media use, i.e. that guilty pleasures are commonly classified as stereotypical feminine but this was not tested previously.

description: Marine N 2 fixation supports a significant portion of oceanic primary production by making N 2 bioavailable to planktonic communities, in the process influencing atmosphere-ocean carbon fluxes and our global climate. However, the geographical distribution and controlling factors of marine N 2 fixation remain elusive largely due to sparse observations. Here we present unprecedented high-resolution underway N 2 fixation estimates across over 6000 kilometers of the western North Atlantic. Unexpectedly, we find increasing N 2 fixation rates from the oligotrophic Sargasso Sea to North America coastal waters, driven primarily by cyanobacterial diazotrophs. N 2 fixation is best correlated to phosphorus availability and chlorophyll-a concentration. Globally, intense N 2 fixation activity in the coastal oceans is validated by a meta-analysis of published observations and we estimate the annual coastal N 2 fixation flux to be 16.7 Tg N. This study broadens the biogeography of N 2 fixation, highlights the interplay of regulating factors, and reveals thriving diazotrophic communities in coastal waters with potential significance to the global nitrogen and carbon cycles.

description: Type IIn supernovae potentially constitute a large fraction of the gravitationally lensed supernovae predicted to be found with upcoming facilities. However, the local rate is used for these estimates, which is assumed to be independent of properties such as the host galaxy mass. Some studies hint that a host galaxy mass bias may exist for IIn supernovae. This paper aims to provide an updated local IIn supernova-to-core-collapse ratio based on data from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) and the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Bright Transient Survey (BTS). Furthermore, the goal is to investigate the dependency of the IIn supernova peak magnitude on the host galaxy mass and the consequences of a possible host galaxy mass preference on the volumetric rate of type IIn supernovae. We constructed approximately volume-limited subsamples to determine the local IIn supernova-to-core-collapse ratio. We investigated the absolute peak magnitude of a subsample of type IIn and superluminous II or IIn supernovae exploring how this relates to the i-band magnitude of the host galaxies (as a proxy for stellar mass). We presented a method to quantify the effect of a potential preference for low-mass host galaxies utilizing the UniverseMachine algorithm. The IIn supernova-to-core-collapse ratios for PTF and BTS are 0.046 +- 0.013 and 0.048 +- 0.011, respectively, which results in a ratio of 0.047 +- 0.009, which is consistent with the ratio of 0.05 currently used to estimate the number of gravitationally lensed IIn supernovae. We report fainter host galaxy median absolute magnitudes for type IIn brighter than -20.5 mag with a 3 sigma significance. If the IIn supernova-to-core-collapse ratio were described by the power law model $IIn/CC = 0.15 \cdot \log(M/M_{\odot})^{-0.05}$, we would expect a slightly elevated volumetric rate for redshifts beyond 3.2.

description: Marine net community production (NCP) tracks uptake of carbon by plankton communities and its potential transport to depth. Relationships between marine microbial community composition and NCP currently remain unclear despite their importance for assessing how different taxa impact carbon export. We conducted 16 and 18S rRNA gene (rDNA) sequencing on samples collected across the Western North Atlantic in parallel with high-resolution O2/Ar-derived NCP measurements. Using an internal standard technique to estimate in-situ prokaryotic and eukaryotic rDNA abundances per liter, we employed statistical approaches to relate patterns of microbial diversity to NCP. Taxonomic abundances calculated using internal standards provided valuable context to traditional relative abundance metrics. A bloom in the Mid-Atlantic Bight featured high eukaryote abundances with low eukaryotic diversity and was associated with the harmful algal bloom-forming Aureococcus anophagefferens, phagotrophic algae, heterotrophic flagellates, and particle-associated bacteria. These results show that coastal Aureococcus blooms host a distinct community associated with regionally significant peaks in NCP. Meanwhile, weak relationships between taxonomy and NCP in less-productive waters suggest that productivity across much of this region is not linked to specific microplankton taxa.

description: Earth will become uninhabitable within 2-3 Gyr as a result of the moving boundaries of the habitable zone caused by the increasing luminosity of the Sun. Predictions about the future of habitable conditions on Earth include a decline in species diversity and habitat extent, ocean loss and changes in the magnitudes of geochemical cycles. However, testing these predictions on the present-day Earth is difficult. The discovery of a planet that is a near analogue to the far future Earth could provide a means to test these predictions. Such a planet would need to have an Earth-like biosphere history, requiring it to have been in its system's habitable zone (HZ) for Gyr-long periods during the system's past, and to be approaching the inner-edge of the HZ at present. Here we assess the possibility of finding this very specific type of exoplanet and discuss the benefits of analysing older Earths in terms of improving our understanding of long-term geological and bio-geological processes. As an illustrative example, G stars within 10 parsecs are assessed as potential old-Earth-analogue hosts. Surface temperature estimates for hypothetical inner-HZ Earth analogues are used to determine whether any such planets in these systems would be at the right stage in their late-habitable lifetimes to exhibit detectable biosignatures. Predictions from planet formation studies and biosphere evolution models suggest that only 0.36% of G stars in the solar neighbourhood could host an old-Earth-analogue. However, if the development of an Earth-like biosphere is assumed to be rare, requiring a sequence of low-probability events to occur, then such planets are unlikely to be found in the solar neighbourhood - although 1000s could be present in the galaxy as a whole.

description: This project is designing a new type of a shelter for Philippines typhoon situation. The goal of this project is to re-evaluate the social culture and the unique climate of the site through shelter designing process. The key idea of the Bahay Cono is a scissor-like deployable shelter that adapts to various weather conditions following a flood catastrophe in the Philippines. Rainy days in the Philippines, for example, require a steep roof and a higher floor to protect shelters from flooding. To tackle these environmental conditions, the Bahay Cono intends to create a reconfigurable scissor-like structure with an interlocking mechanism. Using local resources for the shelter's structural system, such as Bamboo profiles, reduce the environmental impact of transporting parts across long distances. Lightweight materials have been used to ease transportation and the assembly and disassembly processes. Solar thin films have been incorporated into the membrane envelope to provide an energy-independent housing. If the demands of the residents change over time, the shelter might be converted into a water collecting system for the community.
Understanding the electronic and ionic conduction and lithium over-stoichiometry in LiMn$_2$O$_4$ spinel

description: We report a first-principles study of defect thermodynamics and transport in spinel-type lithium manganese oxide LiMn$_2$O$_4$, an important lithium-ion battery electrode material, using density-functional theory and the Heyd-Scuseria-Ernzerhof screened hybrid functional. We find that intrinsic point defects in LiMn$_2$O$_4$ have low formation energies and hence can occur with high concentrations. The electronic conduction proceeds via hopping of small polarons and the ionic conduction occurs via lithium vacancy and/or interstitialcy migration mechanisms. The total conductivity is dominated by the electronic contribution. LiMn$_2$O$_4$ is found to be prone to lithium over-stoichiometry, i.e., lithium excess at the manganese sites, and Mn$^{3+}$/Mn$^{4+}$ disorder. Other defects such as manganese antisites and vacancies and lithium interstitials may also occur in LiMn$_2$O$_4$ samples. In light of our results, we discuss possible implications of the defects on the electrochemical properties and provide explanations for the experimental observations and guidelines for defect-controlled synthesis and defect characterization.

description: Aquatic environments contain large communities of microorganisms whose synergistic interactions mediate the cycling of major and trace nutrients, including vitamins. B-vitamins are essential coenzymes that many organisms cannot synthesize. Thus, their exchange among de novo synthesizers and auxotrophs is expected to play an important role in the microbial consortia and explain some of the temporal and spatial changes observed in diversity. In this study, we analyzed metatranscriptomes of a natural marine microbial community, diel sampled quarterly over one year to try to identify the potential major B-vitamin synthesizers and consumers. Transcriptomic data showed that the best-represented taxa dominated the expression of synthesis genes for some B-vitamins but lacked transcripts for others. For instance, Rhodobacterales dominated the expression of vitamin-B12 synthesis, but not of vitamin-B7, whose synthesis transcripts were mainly represented by Flavobacteria. In contrast, bacterial groups that constituted less than 4% of the community (e.g., Verrucomicrobia) accounted for most of the vitamin-B1 synthesis transcripts. Furthermore, ambient vitamin-B1 concentrations were higher in samples collected during the day, and were positively correlated with chlorophyll-a concentrations. Our analysis supports the hypothesis that the mosaic of metabolic interdependencies through B-vitamin synthesis and exchange are key processes that contribute to shaping microbial communities in nature.

description: An inherent issue in high-throughput rRNA gene tag sequencing microbiome surveys is that they provide compositional data in relative abundances. This often leads to spurious correlations, making the interpretation of relationships to biogeochemical rates challenging. To overcome this issue, we quantitatively estimated the abundance of microorganisms by spiking in known amounts of internal DNA standards. Using a 3-year sample set of diverse microbial communities from the Western Antarctica Peninsula, we demonstrated that the internal standard method yielded community profiles and taxon cooccurrence patterns substantially different from those derived using relative abundances. We found that the method provided results consistent with the traditional CHEMTAX analysis of pigments and total bacterial counts by flow cytometry. Using the internal standard method, we also showed that chloroplast 16S rRNA gene data in microbial surveys can be used to estimate abundances of certain eukaryotic phototrophs such as cryptophytes and diatoms. In Phaeocystis, scatter in the 16S/18S rRNA gene ratio may be explained by physiological adaptation to environmental conditions. We conclude that the internal standard method, when applied to rRNA gene microbial community profiling, is quantitative and that its application will substantially improve our understanding of microbial ecosystems.

description: As confusion with lensing B-modes begins to limit experiments that search for primordial B-mode polarization, robust methods for delensing the CMB polarization sky are becoming increasingly important. We investigate in detail the possibility of delensing the CMB with the cosmic infrared background (CIB), emission from dusty star-forming galaxies that is an excellent tracer of the CMB lensing signal, in order to improve constraints on the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$. We find that the maps of the CIB, such as current Planck satellite maps at 545 GHz, can be used to remove more than half of the lensing B-mode power. Calculating optimal combinations of different large-scale-structure tracers for delensing, we find that co-adding CIB data and external arcminute-resolution CMB lensing reconstruction can lead to significant additional improvements in delensing performance. We investigate whether measurement uncertainty in the CIB spectra will degrade the delensing performance if no model of the CIB spectra is assumed, and instead the CIB spectra are marginalized over, when constraining $r$. We find that such uncertainty does not significantly affect B-mode surveys smaller than a few thousand degrees. Even for larger surveys it causes only a moderate reduction in CIB delensing performance, especially if the surveys have high (arcminute) resolution, which allows self-calibration of the delensing procedure. Though further work on the impact of foreground residuals is required, our overall conclusions for delensing with current CIB data are optimistic: this delensing method can tighten constraints on $r$ by a factor up to $\approx2.2$, and by a factor up to $\approx4$ when combined with external $\approx 3 μ$K-arcmin lensing reconstruction, without requiring the modeling of CIB properties. CIB delensing is thus a promising method for the upcoming generation of CMB polarization surveys.

description: This letter presents a transducer network framework that supports the amalgamation of multiple transducers into single wireless nodes. This approach is aimed at decreasing energy consumption by reducing the number of wireless transceivers involved in such networks. To make wireless nodes easily reconfigurable, a plug and play mechanism is applied to enable the clustering of any number of transducers. Furthermore, an algorithm is proposed to dynamically detect added and removed transducers from a node. Lastly, an XML based protocol is devised to allow nodes to communicate a description of their layout, measured data and control information. To verify the proposed framework, multiple reconfigurable wireless nodes are used to monitor the dynamic condition of a multiple rooms during a period of 24 hours in order to emulate a smart home scenario.
