description: New Sensitive High Resolution Ion Microprobe (SHRIMP) U–Pb geochronological results for fifteen Proterozoic and late Paleozoic samples, thirteen from the Georgetown Region and two from the adjacent Cairns Region, are presented in this Record. Eleven of the samples are from cores of basement units intersected in drillholes that penetrated overlying rocks of the Karumba (Cenozoic) and Carpentaria (Mesozoic) basins. Three of these are gneisses from the undercover extension of the Yambo Subprovince (Etheridge Province) in the northeastern part of the Georgetown Region, four are of Mesoproterozoic granites from the Forsayth Subprovince (Etheridge Province) and Croydon Province farther south, and the remaining eight are from units forming part of the Carboniferous–Permian Kennedy Igneous Association, including two from surface outcrops in the Georgetown Region and two from surface outcrops in the adjacent Cairns Region.

description: Mark Smith’s case for independence boils down to:• there is a distinct Scottish approach to social welfare• our ability to pursue this approach is compromised by Westminster• the devolution settlement (and anything short of full independence) will not allow this tradition to flourishPlacing the current debate in the context of policy development since the Reformation is an interesting approach. It certainly allows the author a wealth of material from which to pick examples. However, I query whether the historical record actually shows there is such a distinct cultural difference in social welfare policy as implied.

description: Asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars lose their envelopes by means of a stellar wind whose driving mechanism is not understood well. Characterizing the composition and thermal and dynamical structure of the outflow provides constraints that are essential for understanding AGB evolution, including the rate of mass loss and isotopic ratios. We modeled the CO emission from the wind of the low mass-loss rate oxygen-rich AGB star W Hya using data obtained by the HIFI, PACS, and SPIRE instruments onboard the Herschel Space Observatory and ground-based telescopes. $^{12}$CO and $^{13}$CO lines are used to constrain the intrinsic $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratio from resolved HIFI lines. The acceleration of the outflow up to about 5.5 km/s is quite slow and can be represented by a beta-type velocity law with index 5. Beyond this point, acceleration up the terminal velocity of 7 km/s is faster. Using the J=10-9, 9-8, and 6-5 transitions, we find an intrinsic $^{12}$C/$^{13}$C ratio of $18\pm10$ for W Hya, where the error bar is mostly due to uncertainties in the $^{12}$CO abundance and the stellar flux around 4.6 $μ$m. To match the low-excitation CO lines, these molecules need to be photo-dissociated at about 500 stellar radii. The radial dust emission intensity profile measured by PACS images at 70 $μ$m shows substantially stronger emission than our model predicts beyond 20 arcsec. The initial slow acceleration of the wind implies inefficient wind driving in the lower part of the envelope. The final injection of momentum in the wind might be the result of an increase in the opacity thanks to the late condensation of dust species. The derived intrinsic isotopologue ratio for W Hya is consistent with values set by the first dredge-up and suggestive of an initial mass of 2 M$_\odot$ or more. However, the uncertainty in the main-sequence mass derived based on this isotopologic ratio is large.

description: This paper explores the contributions of Answer Set Programming (ASP) to the study of an established theory from the field of Second Language Acquisition: Input Processing. The theory describes default strategies that learners of a second language use in extracting meaning out of a text, based on their knowledge of the second language and their background knowledge about the world. We formalized this theory in ASP, and as a result we were able to determine opportunities for refining its natural language description, as well as directions for future theory development. We applied our model to automating the prediction of how learners of English would interpret sentences containing the passive voice. We present a system, PIas, that uses these predictions to assist language instructors in designing teaching materials. To appear in Theory and Practice of Logic Programming (TPLP).

description: We prepared very high-coercivity cobalt ferrite nanoparticles using short-time high-energy mechanical milling. After the milling process, the coercivity of the nanoparticles reached 3.75 kOe - a value almost five times higher than that obtained for the non-milled sample. We performed a thermal treatment on the milled sample at 300, 400, and 600 oC for 30 and 180 mins, and studied the changes in the magnetic parameters due to the thermal treatment using the hysteresis curves, Williamson-Hall analysis, and transmission electron microscopy. The thermal treatment at 600 oC causes a decrease in the microstructural strain and density of structural defects resulting in a significant decrease in coercivity. Furthermore, this thermal treatment increases the size of the nanoparticles and, as a consequence, there is a substantial increase in the saturation magnetization. The coercivity and the saturation magnetization are less affected by the thermal treatment at 300 and 400 oC.

description: Carrying a large, pure spin magnetic moment of 7 $μ$bohr/atom in the half-filled 4f shell, divalent europium is an outstanding element for assembling novel magnetic devices in which a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is polarized due to exchange interaction with an underlying magnetically-active Eu layer, even in the absence of a magnetic field. A natural example for such geometry is the intermetallic layered material EuRh$_2$Si$_2$, in which magnetically active layers of Eu are well separated from each other by non-magnetic Si-Rh-Si trilayers. Applying angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) to this system, we discovered a large spin splitting of a Shockley-type surface state formed by itinerant electrons of the Si-Rh-Si surface related trilayer. ARPES shows that the splitting sets in below approx. 32.5K and quickly saturates to around 150meV upon cooling. Interestingly, this temperature is substantially higher than the order temperature of the Eu 4f moments (approx. 24.5K) in the bulk. Our results clearly show that the magnetic exchange interaction between the surface state and the buried 4f moments in the 4th subsurface layer is the driving force for the formation of itinerant ferromagnetism at the surface. We demonstrate that the observed spin splitting of the surface state, reflecting properties of 2DEG, is easily controlled by temperature. Such a splitting may also be induced into states of functional surface layers deposited onto the surface of EuRh$_2$Si$_2$ or similarly ordered magnetic materials with metallic or semiconducting properties.

description: Quantum thermodynamics is a research field that aims at fleshing out the ultimate limits of thermodynamic processes in the deep quantum regime. A complete picture of quantum thermodynamics allows for catalysts, i.e., systems facilitating state transformations while remaining essentially intact in their state, very much reminding of catalysts in chemical reactions. In this work, we present a comprehensive analysis of the power and limitation of such thermal catalysis. Specifically, we provide a family of optimal catalysts that can be returned with minimal trace distance error after facilitating a state transformation process. To incorporate the genuine physical role of a catalyst, we identify very significant restrictions on arbitrary state transformations under dimension or mean energy bounds, using methods of convex relaxations. We discuss the implication of these findings on possible thermodynamic state transformations in the quantum regime.

description: We study records generated by Brownian particles in one dimension. Specifically, we investigate an ordinary random walk and define the record as the maximal position of the walk. We compare the record of an individual random walk with the mean record, obtained as an average over infinitely many realizations. We term the walk "superior" if the record is always above average, and conversely, the walk is said to be "inferior" if the record is always below average. We find that the fraction of superior walks, S, decays algebraically with time, S ~ t^(-beta), in the limit t --> infty, and that the persistence exponent is nontrivial, beta=0.382258.... The fraction of inferior walks, I, also decays as a power law, I ~ t^(-alpha), but the persistence exponent is smaller, alpha=0.241608.... Both exponents are roots of transcendental equations involving the parabolic cylinder function. To obtain these theoretical results, we analyze the joint density of superior walks with given record and position, while for inferior walks it suffices to study the density as function of position.

description: How do young people living in residential care perceive their environment? How do they experience the sights, sounds, smell and feel of living in an institution? How may attachment to place contribute to the wellbeing of young people? This paper explores meanings of home in domestic and regulated (institutional) environments from the perspective of young people and staff living and working in a residential children's home in England. Drawing on a pilot study using visual participatory research methods adapted from the Mosaic approach (Clark 2011), the study identifies what young people and staff considered important about the place where residents lived. Using photographs and commentary, three conceptual themes are discussed: the home as institutional space; the home as 'practices'; and home as idealised space. The paper raises questions as to how ways of 'doing home' can be supported in these liminal spaces that strive to be both domestic and institutional.

description: The rising availability of digital music stipulates effective categorization and retrieval methods. Real world scenarios are characterized by mammoth music collections through pertinent and non-pertinent songs with reference to the user input. The primary goal of the research work is to counter balance the perilous impact of non-relevant songs through Progressive Filtering (PF) for Query by Humming (QBH) system. PF is a technique of problem solving through reduced space. This paper presents the concept of PF and its efficient design based on Multi-Resolution Histograms (MRH) to accomplish searching in manifolds. Initially the entire music database is searched to obtain high recall rate and narrowed search space. Later steps accomplish slow search in the reduced periphery and achieve additional accuracy. Experimentation on large music database using recursive programming substantiates the potential of the method. The outcome of proposed strategy glimpses that MRH effectively locate the patterns. Distances of MRH at lower level are the lower bounds of the distances at higher level, which guarantees evasion of false dismissals during PF. In due course, proposed method helps to strike a balance between efficiency and effectiveness. The system is scalable for large music retrieval systems and also data driven for performance optimization as an added advantage.

description: This article describes the design and development of a system for remote indoor 3D monitoring using an undetermined number of Microsoft(R) Kinect sensors. In the proposed client-server system, the Kinect cameras can be connected to different computers, addressing this way the hardware limitation of one sensor per USB controller. The reason behind this limitation is the high bandwidth needed by the sensor, which becomes also an issue for the distributed system TCP/IP communications. Since traffic volume is too high, 3D data has to be compressed before it can be sent over the network. The solution consists in selfcoding the Kinect data into RGB images and then using a standard multimedia codec to compress color maps. Information from different sources is collected into a central client computer, where point clouds are transformed to reconstruct the scene in 3D. An algorithm is proposed to merge the skeletons detected locally by each Kinect conveniently, so that monitoring of people is robust to self and inter-user occlusions. Final skeletons are labeled and trajectories of every joint can be saved for event reconstruction or further analysis.

The transition between these two fine structure levels, which makes up the ground term for $Z \ge 62$ in the isoelectronic sequence, has recently been observed in Yb$^{23+}$ and W$^{27+}$, where the latter could be of great importance for fusion plasma diagnostics. We present recommended values for all members of the sequence between $Z = 50$ and $94$, which are supported by excellent agreement with values from recent experiments. The importance of including core-valence correlation with the $n=3$ shell in the theoretical model is emphasized. The results show close to spectroscopic accuracy for these forbidden lines.

description: Two hypotheses of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 exist:

 • A laboratory-related accident • Finding features within the genome to address these hypotheses would advance the investigation without requiring the cooperation of third-parties • Previous analyses of the unprecedented, first ever furin cleavage site in a sarbecovirus and the exceptional pre-adaption of the receptor binding domain to human ACE2 have been challenged because they provide an evolutionary advantage to the virus and, no matter how seemingly unnatural, as supporting a natural process
 • Here I perform an analysis of the number, location, genome pattern, and sequences of two restriction sites, BsaI and BsmBI, that helps distinguish natural viruses from synthetic viruses
 • These two Type IIS restriction enzymes are the workhorses of synthetic coronavirus research and part of Baric’s “No See ‘Em” technology
 • An advantage of this analytical approach is that, in synthetic biology, the manipulation of these small, six nt sequences is the foundation of reverse genetics but their small size and random location within a genome, unrelated to genes, makes it extremely unlikely that they could provide an evolutionary advantage
 • Finding multiple patterns within SARS-CoV-2's genome to be both a) consistent with man-made chimeric virus genomes and b) demonstrably extremely inconsistent with all observed natural sarbecovirus genomes, greatly advances the investigation of COVID-19's origins. This version 2 corrects some minor typographical errors without changing the conclusions of the analysis. The conclusion of this analysis is that SARS-CoV-2 has the hallmarks of a laboratory-constructed synthetic virus.

 • Finding multiple patterns within SARS-CoV-2's genome to be both a) consistent with man-made chimeric virus genomes and b) demonstrably extremely inconsistent with all observed natural sarbecovirus genomes, greatly advances the investigation of COVID-19's origins. The conclusion of this analysis is that SARS-CoV-2 has the hallmarks of a laboratory-constructed synthetic virus.

description: Computational measures of semantic similarity between geographic terms provide valuable support across geographic information retrieval, data mining, and information integration. To date, a wide variety of approaches to geo-semantic similarity have been devised. A judgment of similarity is not intrinsically right or wrong, but obtains a certain degree of cognitive plausibility, depending on how closely it mimics human behavior. Thus selecting the most appropriate measure for a specific task is a significant challenge. To address this issue, we make an analogy between computational similarity measures and soliciting domain expert opinions, which incorporate a subjective set of beliefs, perceptions, hypotheses, and epistemic biases. Following this analogy, we define the semantic similarity ensemble (SSE) as a composition of different similarity measures, acting as a panel of experts having to reach a decision on the semantic similarity of a set of geographic terms. The approach is evaluated in comparison to human judgments, and results indicate that an SSE performs better than the average of its parts. Although the best member tends to outperform the ensemble, all ensembles outperform the average performance of each ensemble's member. Hence, in contexts where the best measure is unknown, the ensemble provides a more cognitively plausible approach.

Energetics, structure, and composition of nanoclusters in Oxide Dispersion Strengthened Fe-Cr alloys

description: Extensive first-principle calculations on embedded clusters containing few O, Y, Ti, and Cr atoms as well as vacancies are performed to obtain interaction parameters to be applied in Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations, within the framework of a rigid lattice model. A novel description using both pair and triple parameters is shown to be more precise than the commonly used pair parameterization. Simulated annealing provides comprehensive data on the energetics, structure and stoichiometry of nm-size clusters at T=0. The results are fully consistent with the experimental finding of negligible coarsening and a high dispersion of the clusters, with the observation that the presence of Ti reduces the cluster size, and with the reported radiation tolerance of the clusters. In alloys without vacancies clusters show a planar structure, whereas the presence of vacancies leads to three-dimensional configurations. Additionally, Metropolis Monte Carlo simulations are carried out at high temperature in order to investigate the dependence of nanocluster composition on temperature. A good agreement between the existing experimental data on the ratios (Y+Ti):O, Y:Ti, (Y+Cr):O, and Y:Cr, and the simulation results is found. In some cases it is even possible to draw the conclusion that the respective alloys contained a certain amount of vacancies, and that the clusters analyzed were frozen-in high-temperature configurations. The comparison of experimental data with those obtained by simulations demonstrates that the assumption of nanoclusters consisting of nonstoichiometric oxides which are essentially coherent with the bcc lattice of the Fe-Cr matrix leads to reasonable results.

description: We study the behavior of a moving wall in contact with a particle gas and subjected to an external force. We compare the fluctuations of the system observed in the microcanonical and canonical ensembles, at varying the number of particles. Static and dynamic correlations signal significant differences between the two ensembles. Furthermore, velocity-velocity correlations of the moving wall present a complex two-time relaxation which cannot be reproduced by a standard Langevin-like description. Quite remarkably, increasing the number of gas particles in an elongated geometry, we find a typical timescale, related to the interaction between the partitioning wall and the particles, which grows macroscopically.

description: We use a 3D computational model to study the fluid transport and mixing due to the beating of an infinite array of cilia. In accord with recent experiments, we observe two distinct regions: a fluid transport region above the cilia and a fluid mixing region below the cilia tip. The metachronal wave due to phase differences between neighboring cilia is known to enhance the fluid transport above the ciliary tip. In this work, we show that the metachronal wave also enhances the mixing rates in the sub-ciliary region, often simultaneously with the flow rate enhancement. Our results suggest that this simultaneous enhancement in transport and mixing is due to an enhancement in shear flow. As the flow above the cilia increases, shear rate in the fluid increases and such shear enhances stretching, which is an essential ingredient for mixing. Estimates of the mixing time scale indicate that, compared to diffusion, the mixing due to the cilia beat may be significant and sometimes dominates chemical diffusion.

description: We present Defocusing Microscopy (DM), a bright-field optical microscopy technique able to perform total 3D imaging of transparent objects. By total 3D imaging we mean the determination of the actual shapes of the upper and lower surfaces of a phase object. We propose a new methodology using DM and apply it to red blood cells subject to different osmolality conditions: hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic solutions. For each situation the shape of the upper and lower cell surface-membranes (lipid bilayer/cytoskeleton) are completely recovered, displaying the deformation of RBCs surfaces due to adhesion on the glass-substrate. The axial resolution of our technique allowed us to image surface-membranes separated by distances as small as 300 nm. Finally, we determine volume, superficial area, sphericity index and RBCs refractive index for each osmotic condition.

description: Local convergence of bounded degree graphs was introduced by Benjamini and Schramm. This result was extended further by Lyons to bounded average degree graphs. In this paper, we study the convergence of a random tree sequence where the probability of a given tree is proportional to $\prod_{v_i\in V(T)}d(v_i)!$. We show that this sequence is convergent and describe the limit object, which is a random infinite rooted tree.
Higher order exchange interactions leading to metamagnetism in FeRh

description: The origin of the metamagnetic antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic phase transition of FeRh is a subject of much debate. Competing explanations invoke magnetovolume effects and purely ther- modynamic transitions within the spin system. It is experimentally difficult to observe the changes in the magnetic system and the lattice simultaneously, leading to differing conclusions over which mechanism is responsible for the phase transition. A non-collinear electronic structure study by Mryasov [O.N. Mryasov, Phase Transitions 78, 197 (2005)] showed that non-linear behavior of the Rh moment leads to higher order exchange terms in FeRh. Using atomistic spin dynamics (ASD) we demonstrate that the phase transition can occur due to the competition between bilinear and the higher order four spin exchange terms in an effective spin Hamiltonian. The phase transition we see is of first order and shows thermal hysteresis in agreement with experimental observations. Simulating sub-picosecond laser heating we show an agreement with pump-probe experiments with a ferromagnetic response on a picosecond timescale.
