description: We report the discovery in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey of seventeen broad absorption line (BAL) quasars with high-ionization troughs that include absorption redshifted relative to the quasar rest frame. The redshifted troughs extend to velocities up to v=12,000 km/s and the trough widths exceed 3000 km/s in all but one case. Approximately 1 in 1000 BAL quasars with blueshifted C IV absorption also has redshifted C IV absorption; objects with C IV absorption present only at redshifted velocities are roughly four times rarer. In more than half of our objects, redshifted absorption is seen in C II or Al III as well as C IV, making low-ionization absorption at least ten times more common among BAL quasars with redshifted troughs than among standard BAL quasars. However, the C IV absorption equivalent widths in our objects are on average smaller than those of standard BAL quasars with low-ionization absorption. We consider several possible ways of generating redshifted absorption. The two most likely possibilities may be at work simultaneously, in the same objects or in different ones. Rotationally dominated outflows seen against a quasar's extended continuum source can produce redshifted and blueshifted absorption, but variability consistent with this scenario is seen in only one of the four objects with multiple spectra. The infall of relatively dense and low-ionization gas to radii as small as 400 Schwarzschild radii can in principle explain the observed range of trough profiles, but current models do not easily explain the origin and survival of such gas. Whatever the origin(s) of the absorbing gas in these objects, it must be located at small radii to explain its large redshifted velocities, and thus offers a novel probe of the inner regions of quasars.

description: The individualization of dialysis treatment using a customized dialysate composition usually requires a continuous measurement of electrolytes and urea in blood. The current practices are spot measurements of blood samples either with blood gas analyzers or in the laboratory, involving considerable personnel effort. Furthermore, the measured values are time delayed and not available in a continuous fashion. In this paper we investigate an in-line concept for continuous monitoring of important blood parameters such as sodium, potassium, calcium and urea concentrations in blood serum using ion-selective electrodes. This concept is evaluated in a preclinical study with human packed red blood cells as a test medium over a period of 7 h. It has been shown that the electrolytes can be well monitored. In addition, we present first measurements with ion-sensitive field-effect transistors in a miniaturized sensor assembly. Therefore, new low-cost electronics for such ion-sensitive field-effect transistors have been developed.

description: An optimal dynamical decoupling of a quantum system coupled to a noisy environment must take into account also the imperfections of the control pulses. We present a new formalism which describes, in a closed-form expression, the evolution of the system, including the spectral function of both the environment and control noise. We show that by measuring these spectral functions, our expression can be used to optimize the decoupling pulse sequence. We demonstrate this approach with an ensemble of optically trapped ultra-cold Rubidium atoms, and use quantum process tomography to identify the effect of the environment and control noise. Our approach is applicable and important for any realistic implementation of quantum information processing.

description: Local mixing-length theory is incapable of describing nonlocal phenomena in stellar convection, such as overshooting. Therefore standard solar models constructed with the local mixing-length theory deviate significantly from the Sun at the boundaries of the convection zone, where convection becomes less efficient and nonlocal effects are important. The differences between observed and computed frequencies come mainly from the near-surface region, while the localized sound-speed difference is just below the convective envelope. In this paper we compute a solar envelope model using Xiong's nonlocal convection theory, and carry out helioseismic analysis. The nonlocal model has a smooth transition at the base of the convection zone, as revealed by helioseismology. It reproduces solar frequencies more accurately, and reduces the localized sound-speed difference between the Sun and standard solar models.

Zaretis delassisei

description: ZARETIS DELASSISEI CHOIMET, 2009
(FIGS 10E, F, 21; SUPPORTING INFORMATION, APPENDIX S6)
Type material
The holotype of Zaretis delassisei Choimet, 2009 was not examined, but it has the following label data: Ecuador, Pichincha, Pacto, 1000 m, VI-2008, Delassise leg. (Choimet, 2009) (XC).
Diagnosis
Zaretis delassisei is highly distinctive and can be distinguished easily from all other species of Zaretis by the wing shape and coloration (Fig. 10E, F). This species is likely to be sympatric with Z. ellops, Z. pythagoras, Z. crawfordhilli sp. nov., Z. elianahenrichae sp. nov. and Z. mirandahenrichae sp. nov., in Trans-Andean South America. Males can be distinguished from all above cited species by the wing shape, with the FW apex slightly falcate and the HW tornal projection at 2A being weakly developed; by the wing coloration, with the FW basal area reddish brown, and most of the post-median, and all submarginal and marginal areas coalesced, dark brown, and the HW basal, median and post-median areas reddish brown, suffused with variable dark brown along the outer margin; by the post-median band being dark brown and continuous; and by the wings having a purplish sheen on the upperside when viewed obliquely; the female is unknown.
Discussion
Zaretis delassisei is a distinctive species, described based on a single specimen collected in western Ecuador and deposited in the XC. One specimen of this species was illustrated by Checa (2008: 38, fig. 4) before its description, identified as ‘ Zaretis sp. ’. Zaretis delassisei appears to be rare and localized. There is little intraspecific variation, as can be deduced from the limited series of specimens available. As far as we know, the female remains unknown.
Distribution
Restricted to Trans-Andean South America wet rainforest habitats in western Ecuador, from ~ 400 to 1000 m elevation. It is likely to occur in southwestern Colombia in similar environments (Fig. 21).

description: We have investigated the suppression of the superconducting transition temperature, Tc, with an increase of the residual resistivity, ρ_0, through the substitution of M (M = Co, Ni, Zn) for Fe in Fe1-yMySe0.3Te0.7 single crystals, in order to clarify the symmetry of the superconducting gap in FeSe1-xTex. Small, large and very small suppression of Tc have been observed through the Co, Ni and Zn substitution, respectively. The magnitude of the suppression rate is hardly explained in terms of the pair-breaking effect due to potential scattering calculated based on the Abrikosov-Gor'kov theory, even if errors in the estimation of the carrier concentration, effective mass and ρ_0 were taken into account. Accordingly, these results suggest that the superconducting symmetry is the s++-wave in FeSe1-xTex.

description: Globally, there is growing concern about the health risks of water and air pollution. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has developed a list of priority pollutants containing 129 different chemical compounds. All of these chemicals are of significant interest due to their serious health and safety issues. Permanent exposure to some concentrations of these chemicals can cause severe and irrecoverable health effects, which can be easily prevented by their early identification. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) offer great potential for selective adsorption of chemicals from water and air samples. These selective artificial bio(mimetic) receptors are promising candidates for modification of sensors, especially disposable sensors, due to their low-cost, long-term stability, ease of engineering, simplicity of production and their applicability for a wide range of targets. Herein, innovative strategies used to develop MIP-based sensors for EPA priority pollutants will be reviewed. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

description: The electrical and dielectric properties of liquids can be used for sensing. Specific appli-cations, e.g., the continuous in-line monitoring of blood conductivity as a measure of the sodium concentration during dialysis treatment, require contactless measuring methods to avoid any contam-ination of the medium. The differential transformer is one promising approach for such applications, since its principle is based on a contactless, magnetically induced conductivity measurement. The objective of this work is to investigate the impact of the geometric parameters of the sample or medium under test on the sensitivity and the noise of the differential transformer to derive design rules for an optimized setup. By fundamental investigations, an equation for the field penetration depth of a differential transformer is derived. Furthermore, it is found that increasing height and radius of the medium is accompanied by an enhancement in sensitivity and precision. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

description: We investigate the Kondo effect and spin blockade observed in a many-electron quantum dot and study the magnetic field dependence. At lower fields, a pronounced Kondo effect is found, which is replaced by the spin blockade at higher fields. In an intermediate regime, both effects are visible. We make use of this combined effect to gain information about the internal spin configuration of our quantum dot. We find that the data cannot be explained assuming regular filling of electronic orbitals. Instead, spin polarized filling seems to be probable. © 2006 The American Physical Society.

description: Pixel-based land cover classification of aerial images is a standard task in remote sensing, whose goal is to identify the physical material of the earth's surface. Recently, most of the well-performing methods rely on encoder-decoder structure based convolutional neural networks (CNN). In the encoder part, many successive convolution and pooling operations are applied to obtain features at a lower spatial resolution, and in the decoder part these features are up-sampled gradually and layer by layer, in order to make predictions in the original spatial resolution. However, the loss of spatial resolution caused by pooling affects the final classification performance negatively, which is compensated by skip-connections between corresponding features in the encoder and the decoder. The most popular ways to combine features are element-wise addition of feature maps and 1x1 convolution. In this work, we investigate skip-connections. We argue that not every skip-connections are equally important. Therefore, we conducted experiments designed to find out which skip-connections are important. Moreover, we propose a new cosine similarity loss function to utilize the relationship of the features of the pixels belonging to the same category inside one mini-batch, i.e.These features should be close in feature space. Our experiments show that the new cosine similarity loss does help the classification. We evaluated our methods using the Vaihingen and Potsdam dataset of the ISPRS 2D semantic labelling challenge and achieved an overall accuracy of 91.1% for both test sites. © Authors 2020.

Interacting Ions in Biophysics: Real is not Ideal

description: Ions in water are important in biology, from molecules to organs. Classically, ions in water are treated as ideal noninteracting particles in a perfect gas. Excess free energy of ion was zero. Mathematics was not available to deal consistently with flows, or interactions with ions or boundaries. Non-classical approaches are needed because ions in biological conditions flow and interact. The concentration gradient of one ion can drive the flow of another, even in a bulk solution. A variational multiscale approach is needed to deal with interactions and flow. The recently developed energetic variational approach to dissipative systems allows mathematically consistent treatment of bio-ions Na, K, Ca and Cl as they interact and flow. Interactions produce large excess free energy that dominate the properties of the high concentration of ions in and near protein active sites, channels, and nucleic acids: the number density of ions is often more than 10 M. Ions in such crowded quarters interact strongly with each other as well as with the surrounding protein. Non-ideal behavior has classically been ascribed to allosteric interactions mediated by protein conformation changes. Ion-ion interactions present in crowded solutions--independent of conformation changes of proteins--are likely to change interpretations of allosteric phenomena. Computation of all atoms is a popular alternative to the multiscale approach. Such computations involve formidable challenges. Biological systems exist on very different scales from atomic motion. Biological systems exist in ionic mixtures (extracellular/intracellular solutions), and usually involve flow and trace concentrations of messenger ions (e.g., 10-7 M Ca2+). Energetic variational methods can deal with these characteristic properties of biological systems while we await the maturation and calibration of all atom simulations of ionic mixtures and divalents.

description: Thermal conductivity measurements in magnetic fields have been carried out for FeSe$_{0.3}$Te$_{0.7}$ single crystals as-grown and annealed at 400 {\degree}C for 100 h in vacuum ($\sim$ 10$^{-4}$ Pa). It has been found that the thermal conductivity in the {\it ab}-plane, {\kab}, of the annealed crystal shows an enhancement at low temperatures just below the superconducting transition temperature, {\tc}, owing to the thermal conductivity due to quasiparticles, while {\kab} of the as-grown crystal does not. This suggests that FeSe$_{1-x}$Te$_{x}$ is a strongly correlated electron system. It has also been found that both the degree of the enhancement of {\kab} just below {\tc} and the behavior of the suppression of {\kab} by the application of magnetic field for the annealed crystal depend on the thickness of the crystal. These results indicate that bulk superconductivity is absent in the as-grown crystal, appears only in the surface area in the annealed-thick crystal and appears in the almost whole region in the annealed-thin crystal. It has been concluded that the excess Fe included in the as-grown crystal is removed from the surface through the vacuum-annealing.

description: With the spread of product-service systems as business models the life cycle costs are of increasing importance as a measurement of product cost. A key factor that drives these costs is the desired reliability of the products used to provide the service. Since the customer usually expects as uninterrupted service availability, it is imperative to achieve the the required reliability. Therefore a large variety of methods has been developed to maximize the reliability of a product. But these approaches focus on the maximization of the reliability and disregard the resulting product costs. This can lead to designs that over perform concerning their reliability requirements but also exceed their target costs. Which will result in the product-service system not being competitive in the marketplace or lowering the company's profit. This paper shows an approach on how to use markov chains to enable a quick comparison of life cycle costs from different product-service system designs With this it will be possible to make better informed decisions about the costs of a system while still meeting the reliability targets. © 2019 Design Society.

description: Multi-material structures are a trending topic for the industry. With a high application potential, such as lightweight or extended life cycle, different manufacturing technologies are further developed for this intent. One of these technologies is Tailored Forming, a process-chain capable of joining different metals and creating massive hybrid components. In parallel to this development, new challenges rise for design, which has the responsibility of finding an optimal use of this technology and produce higher-performance products. However, this task cannot be solved by conventional engineering approach, since strong manufacturing constraints are involved and a lack of understanding about the joining zone formed between the materials still exists. To fill this gap, the objective of this study is to analyse the influence of the joining zone design over the structure behaviour and establish a suitable design method. For that, a computer-aided environment was constructed and a parametric sensitivity analysis was executed, taking a hybrid shaft as example. At the end, the simulation's results allowed a multi-objective optimisation and were able to generate first design guidelines. © 2019 Design Society. All rights reserved.

description: Barrett, Hardy, and Kent have shown in 2005 that protocols for quantum key agreement exist the security of which can be proven under the assumption that quantum or relativity theory is correct. More precisely, this is based on the non-local behavior of certain quantum systems, combined with the non-signaling postulate from relativity. An advantage is that the resulting security is independent of what (quantum) systems the legitimate parties' devices operate on: they do not have to be trusted. Unfortunately, the protocol proposed by Barrett et al. cannot tolerate any errors caused by noise in the quantum channel. Furthermore, even in the error-free case it is inefficient: its communication complexity is Theta(1/epsilon) when forcing the attacker's information below epsilon, even if only a single key bit is generated. Potentially, the problem can be solved by privacy amplification of relativistic - or non-signaling - secrecy. We show, however, that such privacy amplification is impossible with respect to the most important form of non-local behavior, and application of arbitrary hash functions.

description: While sand has become a scarce essential resource for construction and land reclamation worldwide, its extraction causes severe ecological damage and high social costs. To derive policy solutions to this paramount global challenge with broad applicability, this model-based analysis exemplarily studies sand trade from Southeast Asia to Singapore. Accordingly, a coordinated transboundary sand output tax reduces sand mining to a large extent, while the economic costs are small for the sand importer and slightly positive for the exporters. As a novel policy implementation approach, a “Sand Extraction Allowances Trading Scheme” is proposed, which helps sustainably balance the importer’s economic growth with the exporters’ economic development.

Binary Pulsars in Magnetic Field versus Spin Period Diagram

description: We analyzed 186 binary pulsars (BPSRs) in the magnetic field versus spin period (B-P) diagram, where their relations to the millisecond pulsars (MSPs) can be clearly shown. Generally, both BPSRs and MSPs are believed to be recycled and spun-up in binary accreting phases, and evolved below the spin-up line setting by the Eddington accretion rate ($\dot{M}{\bf \simeq}10^{18} g/s$). It is noticed that most BPSRs are distributed around the spin-up line with mass accretion rate $\dot{M}=10^{16} g/s$ and almost all MSP samples lie above the spin-up line with $\dot{M}\sim10^{15} g/s$. Thus, we calculate that a minimum accretion rate ($\dot{M}\sim 10^{15} g/s$) is required for the MSP formation, and physical reasons for this are proposed. In the B-P diagram, the positions of BPSRs and their relations to the binary parameters, such as the companion mass, orbital period and eccentricity, are illustrated and discussed. In addition, for the seven BPSRs located above the limit spin-up line, possible causes are suggested.

Integration and disintegration of emu government bond markets

description: It is commonly found that the markets for long-term government bonds of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) countries were integrated prior to the EMU debt crisis. Contrasting this, we show, based on the interrelation between market integration and fractional cointegration, that there were periods of integration and disintegration that coincide with bull and bear market periods in the stock market. An econometric argument about the spectral behavior of long-memory time series leads to the conclusion that there is a stronger differentiation between bonds with different default risks. This implied the possibility of macroeconomic and fiscal divergence between the EMU countries before the crisis periods. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

description: Numerous studies have shown that corrosion of the casing outer side is one of the factors that has a negative impact on the accident rate of the casing string and is the reason of loss of tightness and various failures and complications in the well. The article describes a method of electric resistance welding of dissimilar steel bonding, which allows to increase the corrosion resistance of casing strings in elevator sections with an increased exterior aggressiveness. The developed technology solutions for welding conditions are presented. Metallographic studies of welded joints and recommendations for technological welding conditions are given. © 2020 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.

description: Through a combination of X-ray diffraction, electrical transport, magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements, we report the effect of La doping on Sr in the newly discovered SrFBiS2 system. Superconducting transition with critical temperature Tc of 2.8 K, developed from a semiconducting-like normal state, was found in Sr0.5La0.5FBiS2. A strong diamagnetic signal and a clear specific heat anomaly associated with this transition were observed, confirming bulk superconductivity. The upper critical field Hc2(0) was estimated to be 1 Tesla by using the Ginzburg-Landau approach. Our experiments therefore demonstrate that bulk superconductivity can be achieved by electron doping in the SrFBiS2 system.

description: Companies that operate and manufacture products in the technical area are exposed to increasingly challenging market situations. The developed products should be individualized to the customers' needs while offering high quality at an acceptable price. The temporal and especially economic claims are constantly growing, forcing the companies to develop a given product that matches the cost-side as well as the technical requirements in a short period of time. Following an initial development, it is often necessary to provide further product variants regarding a modified geometry or performance. A time and cost efficient way is the scaling of the initially developed product. Existing scaling methods focus on uniform geometry changes, not taking into account influences from non-uniform requirement or geometry alterations. Therefore, this article proposes an approach on how to modell and assess the outcome of a scaled assembly, based on the connection of individual scalable components inside an object-based approach. © 2019 Design Society.

description: Information-theoretic key agreement is impossible to achieve from scratch and must be based on some - ultimately physical - premise. In 2005, Barrett, Hardy, and Kent showed that unconditional security can be obtained in principle based on the impossibility of faster-than-light signaling; however, their protocol is inefficient and cannot tolerate any noise. While their key-distribution scheme uses quantum entanglement, its security only relies on the impossibility of superluminal signaling, rather than the correctness and completeness of quantum theory. In particular, the resulting security is device independent. Here we introduce a new protocol which is efficient in terms of both classical and quantum communication, and that can tolerate noise in the quantum channel. We prove that it offers device-independent security under the sole assumption that certain non-signaling conditions are satisfied. Our main insight is that the XOR of a number of bits that are partially secret according to the non-signaling conditions turns out to be highly secret. Note that similar statements have been well-known in classical contexts. Earlier results had indicated that amplification of such non-signaling-based privacy is impossible to achieve if the non-signaling condition only holds between events on Alice's and Bob's sides. Here, we show that the situation changes completely if such a separation is given within each of the laboratories.

On canonical quantization of the gauged WZW model with permutation branes

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper we perform canonical quantization of the product of the gauged WZW models on a strip with boundary conditions specified by permutation branes. We show that the phase space of the $N$-fold product of the gauged WZW model $G/H$ on a strip with boundary conditions given by permutation branes is symplectomorphic to the phase space of the double Chern-Simons theory on a sphere with $N$ holes times the time-line with $G$ and $H$ gauge fields both coupled to two Wilson lines. For the special case of the topological coset $G/G$ we arrive at the conclusion that the phase space of the $N$-fold product of the topological coset $G/G$ on a strip with boundary conditions given by permutation branes is symplectomorphic to the phase space of Chern-Simons theory on a Riemann surface of the genus $N-1$ times the time-line with four Wilson lines.
