description: The problem of finding of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic "symmetry broken" solutions of the correlated lattice fermion models beyond the mean-field approximation has been investigated. The calculation of the quasiparticle excitation spectra with damping for the single- and multi-orbital Hubbard model has been performed in the framework of the equation- of-motion method for two-time temperature Green's Functions within a non-perturbative approach. A unified scheme for the construction of Generalized Mean Fields (elastic scattering corrections) and self-energy (inelastic scattering) in terms of the Dyson equation has been generalized in order to include the presence of the "source fields". The damping of quasiparticles, which reflects the interaction of the single-particle and collective degrees of freedom has been calculated. The "symmetry broken" dynamical solutions of the Hubbard model, which correspond to various types of itinerant antiferromagnetism has been discussed. This approach complements previous studies and clarifies the nature of the concepts of itinerant antiferromagnetism and "spin-aligning field" of correlated lattice fermions.

description: In this paper, we consider the inverse scattering problem to reconstruct the defect in an open periodic waveguide from near field data. Our first aim is to mention that there is a mistake in the factorization method of Lechleiter 2008. By this we can not apply it to solve this inverse problem. Our second aim is to give ways to understand the defect from inside (Theorem 1.1) and outside (Theorem 1.2) based on the monotonicity method.

description: We construct new relativistic linear differential equation in $d$ dimensions generalizing Dirac equation by employing the Clifford algebra of the cubic polynomial associated to Klein-Gordon operator multiplied by the mass parameter. Unlike the Dirac case where the spin content is unique and Lorentz covariance is manifest, here the spin as well as Lorentz covariance of the theory are related to the choice of representation of the Clifford algebra. One of the considered explicit matrix representations gives rise to anyon-like fields in $d=1+1$. Coupling to a U(1) gauge field is discussed and compared with Dirac theory.

description: New chiral half-sandwich Ru hydride enantiomers with asymmetric disubstitution on the Cp ligand have been successfully synthesized and resolved. An enantiopure thiolate ligand was installed on the Ru center to form a pair of diastereomers, which were separated by crystallization via vapor diffusion of pentane into their saturated Et2O solution. Racemization occurred at elevated temperatures, but a room temperature conversion pathway was developed to remove the chiral thiolate ligand and generate the enantiopure hydride complex.
      Two new Rh(III) hydride complexes and their Ir analogues have been synthesized and characterized. The hydride complexes readily transfer H– to the N-carbophenoxypyridinium cation at room temperature, giving mixtures of 1,2- and 1,4-dihydropyridine products. In CD3CN, all four hydrides give nearly the same product ratio, demonstrating that the hydride transfer mechanism is outer sphere. In weak or non-coordinating solvents, the resulting 16-electron cations catalyze the isomerization of 1,2- to 1,4-dihydropyridine at rates that depend upon the cation and the solvent. The fastest isomerization was observed with the Rh(III) cation [Cp*Rh(2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)]+, Acetonitrile can trap the 16-electron cations resulting from hydride transfer, dramatically slowing the isomerization process.
      The thermodynamics and kinetics of hydride, hydrogen atom and proton transfer reactions of the Rh(III) hydride, Cp*Rh(2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)H, were studied both thermodynamically and kinetically. This hydride is both a good hydride and hydrogen atom donor, but a poor proton donor. This previously unobserved combination of properties is due to the high energy of the hydride’s conjugate base, [Cp*Rh(2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)]−. Its exceptional hydride donor ability makes Cp*Rh(2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl)H a very efficient catalyst for the ionic hydrogenation of iminium cations.

description: The establishment of a Cooperation and Verification Mechanism for monitoring Bulgaria’s and Romania’s progress in the areas of judiciary and fight against corruption not only confirms the evolutionary nature of EU conditionality, but introduces a new feature, that of post-accession conditionality. More than three years after accession, neither Bulgaria nor Romania have managed to tackle the remaining issues and the scrupulous monitoring mechanism is still maintained. What are the main features and limitations of post-accession conditionality? Why does the effectiveness of EU conditionality deteriorate after accession? The article outlines a conceptual framework for comparative study of pre-accession and post-accession conditionality. On the basis of a stage-structured conditionality model, it discusses the transformations of the main elements of conditionality before and after accession and argues that the absence of accession advancement rewards combined with toothless explicit threats for sanctioning non-compliance produce very weak negative incentive structure which undermines the effectiveness of post-accession conditionality. The study, which draws on extensive interviews with senior EU officials and examination of key EU documents, highlights the growing application of differentiated and targeted conditionality and concludes with a reflection on the future of the mechanism and its implications for the ongoing enlargement of the Union with countries of the Western Balkans and Turkey.

description: A family of relativistic geometric models is defined as a generalization of the actual anti-de Sitter (1+1) model of the relativistic harmonic oscillator. It is shown that all these models lead to the usual harmonic oscillator in the non-relativistic limit, even though their relativistic behavior is quite different. Among quantum models we find a set of models with countable energy spectra, and another one having only a finite number of energy levels and in addition a continuous spectrum.

description: We propose a neural network for unsupervised anomaly detection with a novel robust subspace recovery layer (RSR layer). This layer seeks to extract the underlying subspace from a latent representation of the given data and removes outliers that lie away from this subspace. It is used within an autoencoder. The encoder maps the data into a latent space, from which the RSR layer extracts the subspace. The decoder then smoothly maps back the underlying subspace to a "manifold" close to the original inliers. Inliers and outliers are distinguished according to the distances between the original and mapped positions (small for inliers and large for outliers). Extensive numerical experiments with both image and document datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art precision and recall.

description: Freshwater fishes are often characterized by extensive population genetic subdivision and low genetic diversity and are ideal subjects for investigating contemporary patterns of dispersal and subsequent gene flow. In lotic systems, different riverine architecture, variable hydrology and species biology influence genetic diversity and population structure in resident species. Stream-dwelling species often display greater levels of gene flow within drainages or catchments or sub-catchments than between them due to complexity of stream order and the isolating nature of these systems by land or sea. However, the relative importance of these attributes in driving population structure at spatial scales remains poorly understood for many freshwater species. Study on the effects of riverscape in shaping population structure is very important to identify management or conservation units and to undertake habitat restoration measures. The Daly River is one of the largest river networks in the wet-dry tropics of Northern Australia and shows variability in hydrology. This river has a complex arrangement of habitats and heterogeneous landscape features (e.g. slope, elevation) across the catchment area. There are also instream physical barriers like waterfalls, cliffs, road crossings etc. that may hinder dispersal and subsequent gene flow.

title: Activated Sludge Bioassays for Rapid Biochemical Oxygen Demand
Creators: name: Jordan, Mark
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Sludge bioassays
subject: Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
subject: Waste water treatment plant (WWTP) sludge

description: A number of recent studies have described new rapid biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) methods. However, most have not maintained the features that make the 5-day standard BOD assay particularly relevant to wastewater management – a high level of substrate bio-oxidation and use of wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) sludge as the biocatalyst. In a critical breakthrough, return activated sludge (RAS) from Coombabah WWTP, southeast Queensland, was successfully incorporated as the biocatalyst in a ferricyanide mediated-BOD (FM-BOD) bioassay. The bioassay was initially optimized for the measurement of highly variable and complex wastewaters, particularly trade wastes, by maximizing the analytical working range (10 – 170 mg BOD5 L-1) and extent of substrate degradation (96 ± 23% of measured BOD5 oxidation). A highly significant correlation (n = 35; slope = 1.07; R = 0.95; incubation time = 6 h) was found between this RAS FM-BOD and standard BOD5 assays using a range of real trade waste samples. The activated sludge FM-BOD bioassay was re-examined with the goal of measuring low–mid range wastewaters (i.e. treated effluents and WWTP influents) that comprise the bulk of all BOD samples analyzed worldwide. All experimental parameters were re-optimized, primarily to improve the detection limit of the FM-BOD assay to approximate that of the standard BOD5 assay (i.e. ≈2 mg BOD5 L-1). Primary influent sludge (PIS) from Coombabah WWTP was the most favorable sludge trialed, with the new bioassay having an analytical range of 2 – 40 mg BOD5 L-1. A highly significant correlation (n = 33; slope = 0.94; R = 0.96; incubation time = 3 – 4 h) was observed between the PIS FM-BOD and standard BOD5 assays using a range of treated effluent, influent and grey water samples.

description: Recent results announced as measurements of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment are in fact measurements of the muon's anomalous spin precession frequency. This precession frequency receives contributions from both the muon's anomalous magnetic and electric dipole moments. We note that all existing data cannot resolve this ambiguity, and the current deviation from standard model predictions may equally well be interpreted as evidence for new physics in the muon's anomalous magnetic moment, new physics in the muon's electric dipole moment, or both.

description: High-Performance Concrete (HPC) is categorized as concrete with optimal strength, shrinkage, and durability properties. Improvements are accomplished with the additions of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and/or pozzolans along with various admixtures. This type of concrete mixture (HPC) is usually paired with a lower water cement ratio for low shrinkage. However, HPC in bridge decks is still prone to transverse cracking especially with vibrations due to traffic in adjacent lanes or any construction loads. To mitigate the cracking, the addition of macro fibers as well as blending of aggregates are investigated with HPC mixes. The effects of adding various types of fibers with aggregate blending on HPC were experimentally investigated in the laboratory in terms of strength and shrinkage properties as well as cracking potential which is evaluated using the ring testing in accordance with the AASHTO-T334. The results show that the addition of steel hooked or polypropylene fibers reduced the cracking area (i.e., crack width multiplied by crack length) at 56 days by 26.3% and 23.2%, respectively. Based on the laboratory study, the team implemented FR-HPC and typical HPC, alternatively, in reconstructed bridge decks in New Jersey. Three crack map surveys were performed prior to opening the bridge to traffic over a period of 290 days. Results show that FR-HPC reduced the mean crack width by 28.6%, and the cracking area by 33.3%. This study illustrated that FR-HPC is effective in improving the cracking performance of reconstructed bridge decks casted while traffic in the adjacent lane is uninterrupted.

description: Bandit Convex Optimization (BCO) is a fundamental framework for modeling sequential decision-making with partial information, where the only feedback available to the player is the one-point or two-point function values. In this paper, we investigate BCO in non-stationary environments and choose the \emph{dynamic regret} as the performance measure, which is defined as the difference between the cumulative loss incurred by the algorithm and that of any feasible comparator sequence. Let $T$ be the time horizon and $P_T$ be the path-length of the comparator sequence that reflects the non-stationarity of environments. We propose a novel algorithm that achieves $O(T^{3/4}(1+P_T)^{1/2})$ and $O(T^{1/2}(1+P_T)^{1/2})$ dynamic regret respectively for the one-point and two-point feedback models. The latter result is optimal, matching the $Ω(T^{1/2}(1+P_T)^{1/2})$ lower bound established in this paper. Notably, our algorithm is more adaptive to non-stationary environments since it does not require prior knowledge of the path-length $P_T$ ahead of time, which is generally unknown.

description: We investigate a regular black hole model with a de Sitter-like core at its center. This type of a black hole model with a false vacuum core was introduced with the hope of singularity-resolution and is a common feature shared by many regular black holes. In this paper, we examine this claim of a singularity-free black hole by employing the thin-shell formalism, and exploring its dynamics, within the Vaidya approximation. We find that during gravitational collapse, the shell necessarily moves along a space-like direction. More interestingly, during the evaporation phase, the shell and the outer apparent horizon approach each other but, unless the evaporation takes place very rapidly, the approaching tendency is too slow to avoid singularity-formation. This shows that albeit a false vacuum core may remove the singularity along the ingoing null direction, there still exists a singularity along the outgoing null direction, unless the evaporation is very strong.

description: We investigate the blazar contribution to the cumulative neutrino intensity assuming a generic relationship between neutrino and gamma-ray luminosities, $L_ν\propto (L_{\rm ph})^{γ_{\rm lw}}$. Using the gamma-ray luminosity functions for blazars including flat spectrum radio quasars (FSRQs) and BL Lac objects, as well as the $Fermi$-LAT detection efficiency, we estimate contributions from {blazars resolved by $Fermi$-LAT as well as the unresolved counterpart.} Combining the existing upper limits from stacking analyses, the cumulative neutrino flux from all blazars ({including $Fermi$-LAT resolved and unresolved ones}) are constrained { in the range $0\lesssimγ_{\rm lw}\lesssim2.5$}. We also evaluate the effects of the redshift evolution and the effective local number densities for each class of FSRQs, BL Lacs, and all blazars, by which we place another type of constraints on the blazar contribution using the non-detection of high-energy neutrino multiplets. We demonstrate that these two upper limits are complementary, and that the joint consideration of the stacking and multiplet analyses { not only supports the argument that blazars are disfavored as the dominant sources of the 100-TeV neutrino background, but it extends this argument by including also $Fermi$-LAT-unresolved blazars as well, for a more generic luminosity correlation $L_ν\propto (L_{\rm ph})^{γ_{\rm lw}}$}.

description: The genus Thapsia L., belonging to the Scandiceae tribe of the Apiaceae family, is mainly distributed in the Mediterranean area, North Africa, and the Iberian Peninsula. The use of plants of this genus in popular medicine dates back to the age of ancient Greeks. In the present study the chemical composition of the essential oil from aerial parts of Thapsia garganica subsp. messanensis (Guss.) Brullo & al., an endemic plant of Sicily, never previously investigated, was evaluated by GC-MS. The main components of its essential oil (Tgm) were 1,4-dimethylazulene (17.0%), chamazulene (10.1%), 3-methyl nonane (7.0%), and butyl heptanoate (4.6%). The comparison with all the other studied essential oils of the genus Thapsia is discussed.

description: KEY WORDS suspensions, inertial focusing, particle-laden flows, high Reynolds numbers SHORT SUMMARY The inertial migration of particles in square channel flows at the micro-scale has been deeply investigated in the last two decades. The well-known four equilibrium positions are located near the center of each channel face at moderate Reynolds numbers [1]. More recently, Miura et al. [2] revealed experimentally the presence of eight equilibrium positions in millimetric square channels for Reynolds numbers higher than 250. The aim of the present work is to extend these results obtained at millimeter scale to the micrometer scale. To this end, in situ visualization of particles flowing in square micro-channels at Reynolds numbers ranging from 5 to 300 have been conducted and analyzed.

description: This study describes the development of the hydrological cycle model for the Globally Resolved Energy Balance (GREB) model. Starting from a rudimentary hydrological cycle model included in the GREB model, we develop three new models: precipitation, evaporation and horizontal transport of water vapour. Precipitation is modelled based on the actual simulated specific and relative humidity in GREB and the prescribed boundary condition of vertical velocity. The evaporation bulk formula is slightly refined by considering differences in the sensitivity to winds between land and oceans, and by improving the estimates of the wind magnitudes. Horizontal transport of water vapour is improved by approximating moisture convergence by vertical velocity. The new parameterisations are fitted against the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP) data set and reanalysis data sets (ERA-Interim). The new hydrological cycle model is evaluated against the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5) model simulations, reduction in correction terms and by three different sensitivity experiments (annual cycle, El Niño–Southern Oscillation and climate change). The skill of the hydrological cycle model in the GREB model is now within the range of more complex CMIP5 coupled general circulation models and capable of simulating key features of the climate system within the range of uncertainty of CMIP5 model simulations. The results illustrate that the new GREB model's hydrological cycle is a useful model to study the climate's hydrological response to external forcings and also to study inter-model differences or biases.

description: The objective of the conducted meta-analysis was to assess the efficacy of the treatment of bovine endometritis with PGF(2α) by statistical means. Postpartum uterine infections have a high prevalence and a very negative effect on reproductive performance in dairy cattle. Because of a wide discordance between research results, a meta-analysis of the efficacy of the treatment of bovine endometritis with PGF(2α) was conducted. A comprehensive literature search was performed using online databases to reveal a total of 2,307 references. In addition, 5 articles were retrieved by reviewing citations. After applying specific exclusion criteria and evaluating specific evidence parameters, 5 publications, comprising 6 trials, were eligible for being analyzed by means of meta-analysis. Data for each trial were extracted and analyzed using meta-analysis software Review Manager (version 5.1; The Nordic Cochrane Centre, Copenhagen, Denmark). Estimated effect sizes of PGF(2α) were calculated on calving to first service and calving to conception interval. Prostaglandin F(2α) treatment of cows with chronic endometritis had a negative effect on both reproductive performance parameters. Heterogeneity was substantial for calving to first service and calving to conception interval [I(2) (measure of variation beyond chance)=100 and 87%, respectively]; therefore, random-effects models were used. Sensitivity analysis as well as subgroup analysis showed that the performance of randomization was influential in modifying effect size of PGF(2α) treatment. The funnel plot illustrated a publication bias toward smaller studies that reported a prolonged calving to conception interval after a PGF(2α) treatment. We conclude that the investigation of this subject by means of meta-analysis did not reveal an improvement of reproductive performance of cows with endometritis after treatment with PGF(2α). Furthermore, there is a shortage of comparable high quality studies investigating reproductive performance after PGF(2α) treatment of cows with chronic endometritis.

description: We study the dependence of the observable stochastic gravitational wave background induced by a first-order phase transition on the global properties of the scalar effective potential in particle physics. The scalar potential can be that of the Standard Model Higgs field, or more generally of any scalar field responsible for a spontaneous symmetry breaking in beyond-the-Standard-Model settings thatprovide for a first-order phase transition in the early universe.Characteristics of the effective potential include the relative depth of the true minimum ($E_α^4$), the height of the barrier that separates it from the false one ($E_m^4$) and the separation between the two minima in field space ($v$), all at the bubble nucleation temperature. We focus on a simple yet quite general class of single-field polynomial potentials, with parameters being varied over several orders of magnitude. It is then shown that gravitational wave observatories such as aLIGO O5, BBO, DECIGO and LISA are mostly sensitive to values of these parameters in the region $E_α\sim (0.1-10) \times E_m$. Finally, relying on well-defined models and using our framework, we demonstrate how to obtain the gravitational wave spectra for potentials of various shapes without necessarily relying on dedicated software packages.

description: A bulk ring probe made of pure iron wire with diameter of 0.125mm was prepared for spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy at room temperature in ultrahigh vacuum. The layerwise antiferromagnetic spin contrast of 2.8 atomic monolayers (ML) Mn/4.5 ML Co/Cu (001) observed with such a probe revealed a spin asymmetry of 14% and a signal-to-noise ratio of 1.8. Areas of reversed spin contrast on the same atomic layer of Mn were observed and attributed to the influence from underlying Co steps and islands. This demonstrates the simplicity of preparation and capability of such bulk Fe ring probes.

description: It was recently shown that the $T_{90}-H_{32}$ distributions of gamma-ray bursts from CGRO/BATSE and Fermi/GBM are well described by a mixture of only two skewed components, making the presumed third, intermediate class unnecesary. The Swift/BAT, Konus-Wind, RHESSI and Suzaku/WAM data sets are found to be consistent with a two-class description as well.

description: Top pair production at LHC is the ideal place to search for nonstandard Wtb couplings in t -> W b -> l nu b decays. The lb forward-backward asymmetry in the W rest frame is very sensitive to sigma_{mu nu} couplings, and can spot one-loop QCD corrections to the decay vertex with more than 5 sigma statistical significance. We discuss the potential of this asymmetry to signal nonstandard gamma_mu and sigma_{mu nu} couplings and compare with top-antitop spin correlation asymmetries, which have a lower sensitivity. We also briefly summarise the results for Tevatron.
