description: The contributor was nine years old when war ended. His father had been in the army since the 1920s and they lived in a council house (Norcott). His uncle, Arthur Philips, had been in China before the war, enlisted in TA in 1939; then he went out to Belgium but never returned as he was caught there trying to get back to Dunkirk, and was shot while trying to escape.Another uncle was also caught at Dunkirk and walked to POW camp in Poland. He was not allowed to drink on the march but, at camp, he did receive Red Cross parcels. He had some magnetised razor blades and could make a compass out of them.Another brother was in the navy (Dickie), and another in ATC (Archie) and, at 17.5 years, was a gunner in Bomber Command in Egypt. On 24th March 1945, his 13th operation received news he was missing in action.Hi father had been a fire watcher in London.The contributor has personal memories of war - about rationing etc, but noted that nothing improved until well afterwards when he was seventeen or eighteen.

Measuring 14 elemental abundances with R=1,800 LAMOST spectra

description: The LAMOST survey has acquired low-resolution spectra (R=1,800) for 5 million stars across the Milky Way, far more than any current stellar survey at a corresponding or higher spectral resolution. It is often assumed that only very few elemental abundances can be measured from such low-resolution spectra, limiting their utility for Galactic archaeology studies. However, Ting et al. (2017) used ab initio models to argue that low-resolution spectra should enable precision measurements of many elemental abundances, at least in theory. Here we verify this claim in practice by measuring the relative abundances of 14 elements from LAMOST spectra with a precision of $\lesssim$ 0.1 dex for objects with ${\rm S/N}_{\rm LAMOST}$ > 30 (per pixel). We employ a spectral modeling method in which a data-driven model is combined with priors that the model gradient spectra should resemble ab initio spectral models. This approach assures that the data-driven abundance determinations draw on physically sensible features in the spectrum in their predictions and do not just exploit astrophysical correlations among abundances. Our analysis is constrained to the number of elemental abundances measured in the APOGEE survey, which is the source of the training labels. Obtaining high quality/resolution spectra for a subset of LAMOST stars to measure more elemental abundances as training labels and then applying this method to the full LAMOST catalog will provide a sample with more than 20 elemental abundances that is an order of magnitude larger than current high-resolution surveys, substantially increasing the sample size for Galactic archaeology.

description: Dad, Vaughan House Barrington, was born in 1919 in Taunton, Somerset. He joined the army and was stationed in Burma, fighting behind enemy lines with The Chindits. He didn't talk about the war, but I believe that his best friend was killed. He came back from Burma with various bits and pieces, including silk maps and a SEAC souvenir newspaper.He attended the 50th anniversary dinner of The Chindits and collected annual journals relating to the campaign in Burma. In 1982, he applied to receive his medals, which included the Burma Star.

description: My father, Peter Wilfred Peart, was at Catterick. He told me this. He was with his army mates and you know those churns [milk churns], well the farmer kept losing his milk because certain people reached out of the lorry. I don't know how, but the farmer managed to nail them to the wood! So they probably got dislocated shoulders the next time they did it.Another one [?] Shingle Street. Do you know about it? My father remembered that when he was a reservist he had to go and recover some of the bodies after something had gone wrong. My Dad wasn't allowed to talk about it, neither was the Lighthouse Keeper who had seen a lot of it too. I know Dad also went somewhere else to do the same thing, recovering bodies, but I don't know where. In 1953 he helped with the flood too.When the Americans left after the war we heard that they dug a big hole (or maybe the hole was already there and they buried all the stuff they couldn't take back - vehicle parts, cutlery, you name it.

description: We develop the formalism for computing gravitational corrections to vacuum decay from de Sitter space as a sub-Planckian perturbative expansion. Non-minimal coupling to gravity can be encoded in an effective potential. The Coleman bounce continuously deforms into the Hawking-Moss bounce, until they coincide for a critical value of the Hubble constant. As an application, we reconsider the decay of the electroweak Higgs vacuum during inflation. Our vacuum decay computation reproduces and improves bounds on the maximal inflationary Hubble scale previously computed through statistical techniques.

description: While new technologies offer a number of benefits and opportunities, their use is accompanied by challenges and potential risks. This includes the different forms of abuse and intimidation. As part of its functions as the Approved Agency under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015, Netsafe has conducted the first in a series of Annual Population Surveys (APS). The objective of the APS is to gauge attitudes and behaviours and to start monitoring national trends regarding potentially harmful digital communications in New Zealand. The study provides insights regarding New Zealanders’ access to and use of digital technologies. It also explores people’s level of awareness of the Harmful Digital Communications Act. A key focus of the study is to measure participants’ experiences of digital communications, including perceptions and experiences of harm and distress in the last 12 months. The study also presents relevant insights regarding New Zealanders’ personal responses, and access to services and resources to deal with unwanted digital communications as well as potential harm and distress. As research on adult New Zealanders and their experiences with digital communications is limited, the APS provides first-hand research evidence on this subject to government agencies, online content and service providers, law enforcement, the research community, and the general public. However, considering the evolving nature of new technologies and how people engage with digital tools, new online challenges and risks are likely to emerge. Thus, the study of the nature and impact of digital communications, including potential harm and distress, will remain a relevant but challenging area of research, analysis, and policy intervention.

description: Η Δειγματοληψία είναι είναι ένα βασικό αντικείμενο σε κάθε Στατιστική Ανάλυση και έχει εμφανιστεί στο προσκήνιο της ιστορίας εδώ και 120 περίπου χρόνια. Είναι επίσης και βασικό κομμάτι του μηχανισμού μάθησης (μαθαίνουμε από δείγματα με αφαίρεση) και αυτό την κάνει βασικό αντικείμενο και εργαλείο αποκάλυψης της επιστημονικής αλήθειας. Στο παρόν σύγγραμμα αναπτύσσονται οι βασικές πτυχές του θέματος της δειγματοληψίας και των εφαρμογών της.
Υπάρχουν δύο βασικά είδη δειγματοληψίας: (Α) Δειγματοληψίες με πιθανότητα και (Β) Δειγματοληψίες χωρίς πιθανότητα (δειγματοληψίες σκοπιμότητας). Οι πρώτες εφαρμόζονται μέσα από πολλές τεχνικές, όπως (Α1) Απλή τυχαία δειγματοληψία, (Α2) Στρωματοποιημένη δειγματοληψία, (Α3) Δειγματοληψία κατά συστάδες και (Α4) Συστηματική δειγματοληψία. Η τελευταία μπορεί να θεωρηθεί και μια μορφή δειγματοληψίας σκοπιμότητας σε κάποιες εφαρμογές. Οι δειγματοληψίες σκοπιμότητας είναι μια πολυπληθής ομάδα τεχνικών δειγματοληψίας που δεν ακολουθούν το τυχαίο (μόνο) αλλά αξιοποιούν πληροφορίες από πολλές πλευρές και ενσωματώνουν και τεχνικές άλλων κλάδων των Μαθηματικών. Αποτελούν το αντικείμενο ενός κεφαλαίου στο σύγγραμμα αυτό. Οι άλλες αποτελούν το αντικείμενο των άλλων κεφαλαίων ενώ στο 1ο κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζονται βασικές έννοιες όπως πληθυσμός, δείγμα, τυχαία μεταβλητή, εκτιμήτριες συναρτήσεις, παράμετροι και στατιστικά.
Μεταξύ άλλων παρουσιάζεται ως εφαρμογή η προσέγγιση με πολυωνυμική μορφή της συνάρτησης πυκνότητας πιθανότητας (σ.π.π.) συνεχών τυχαίων μεταβλητών με χρήση της δειγματοληψίας.
Σημαντική εφαρμογή είναι και ο προσδιορισμός ενός πλήρους πολυωνύμου 2ου βαθμού με δύο μεταβλητές ορισμένο στο χωρίο [0,1]x[0, 1] μέσα από δειγματοληψία σκοπιμότητας με πολύ μικρό δείγμα.
Γενικότερα δε δειγματοληψίες σκοπιμότητας είναι και οι διάφορες δειγματοληψίες χαμηλού κόστους. Είναι δειγματοληψίες σε υποσύνολο του πληθυσμού, σκόπιμα επιλεγμένο, που υποπολλαπλασιάζει το κόστος της δειγματοληψίας πολλές φορές, π.χ. 80 φορές (πρακτικά).

Phonon Eigenspectrum-Based Formulation of the Atomistic Green's Function Method

description: While the atomistic Green's function (AGF) method has the potential to compute spectrally resolved phonon transport across interfaces, most prior formulations of the AGF method provide only the total phonon transmission function that includes contributions from all phonon branches or channels. In this work, we present a formulation of the conventional AGF technique in terms of phonon eigenspectra that provides a natural decomposition of the total transmission function into contributions from various phonon modes. The method involves the use of Dyson and Lippmann-Schwinger equations to determine surface Green's functions from the phonon eigenspectrum of the bulk, and establishes a direct connection between the transmission function and the bulk phonon spectra of the materials forming the interface. We elucidate our formulation of the AGF technique through its application to a microscopic picture of phonon mode conversion at Si-Ge interfaces with atomic intermixing. Intermixing of atoms near the interface is shown to increase the phase space available for phonon mode conversion and to enhance thermal interface conductance at moderate levels of atomic mixing. The eigenspectrum-based AGF (EAGF) method should be useful in determination of microscopic mechanisms of phonon scattering and identification of the specific modes that dominate thermal transport across an interface.

description: Metal abundance and its evolution are studied for Mg II quasar absorption line systems from their weak, unsaturated spectral lines using stacked spectra from the archived data of Sloan Digital Sky Survey. They show an abundance pattern that resembles that of Galactic halo or Small Magellanic Cloud, with metallicity [Z/H] showing an evolution from redshift z=2 to 0.5: metallicity becomes approximately solar or even larger at z~0. We show that the evolution of the metal abundance traces the cumulative amount of the hydrogen fuel consumed in star formation in galaxies. With the aid of a spectroscopic simulation code, we infer the median gas density of the cloud to be roughly 0.3 $\rm cm^{-3}$, with which the elemental abundance in various ionization stages, in particular C I, is consistently explained. This gas density implies that the size of the Mg II clouds is of the order of 0.03 kpc, which suggests that individual Mg II clouds around a galaxy are of a baryonic mass typically $\rm 10^{3} \, M_{\odot}$. This means that Mg II clouds are numerous and `foamy', rather than the large entity that covers a sizable fraction of galaxies with a single cloud.

description: Род Corynebacterium содержит более 100 видов, подавляющее большинство которых было выделено от человека. Обычный подход к рассмотрению данной группы микроорганизмов в качестве возбудителей инфекции у людей в последнее время утратил свою актуальность. Внимание исследователей все больше привлекают недифтерийные или непатогенные коринебактерии – основные представители нормальной флора кожи и слизистых оболочек человека. В этом обзоре мы суммировали литературные данные и результаты наших собственных исследований биологических свойств недифтерийных коринебактерий, выделенных из женского репродуктивного тракта. Мы полагаем, что non-diphtheriae corynebacterium, присутствующие в женском репродуктивном тракте, обладают высоким адаптационным потенциалом. Благодаря уникальным биологическим свойствам, эти микроорганизмы взаимодействуют с организмом хозяина и другими представителями микробиоты влагалища, что позволяет им существовать как у женщин с вагинальным эубиозом, так и у женщин с неспецифическими инфекционными заболеваниями влагалища. Способность non-diphtheriae corynebacterium продуцировать органические кислоты, снижая таким образом pH, способность стимулировать выработку противовоспалительных цитокинов, усиливать антагонистическую активность пероксид-продуцирующих лактобацилл в отношении условно-патогенных микроорганизмов, а также способность разрушать биопленки патогенных микроорганизмов указывает на важную роль non-diphtheriae corynebacterium в формировании эубиоза и, вероятно, определяет ключевую роль недифтерийных коринебактерий в защите влагалищного биотопа от инфекции у тех женщин, у которых нет лактобацилл. Полученные данные открывают перспективы для будущих фундаментальных медицинских исследований по изучению отдельных штаммов nondiphtheriae corynebacterium как перспективных пробиотических микроорганизмов.

description: Calibration of the Advanced LIGO detectors is the quantification of the detectors' response to gravitational waves. Gravitational waves incident on the detectors cause phase shifts in the interferometer laser light which are read out as intensity fluctuations at the detector output. Understanding this detector response to gravitational waves is crucial to producing accurate and precise gravitational wave strain data. Estimates of binary black hole and neutron star parameters and tests of general relativity require well-calibrated data, as miscalibrations will lead to biased results. We describe the method of producing calibration uncertainty estimates for both LIGO detectors in the first and second observing runs.

The L1157-B1 astrochemical laboratory: testing the origin of DCN

description: L1157-B1 is the brightest shocked region of the large-scale molecular outflow, considered the prototype of chemically rich outflows, being the ideal laboratory to study how shocks affect the molecular gas. Several deuterated molecules have been previously detected with the IRAM 30m, most of them formed on grain mantles and then released into the gas phase due to the shock. We aim to observationally investigate the role of the different chemical processes at work that lead to formation the of DCN and test the predictions of the chemical models for its formation. We performed high-angular resolution observations with NOEMA of the DCN(2-1) and H13CN(2-1) lines to compute the deuterated fraction, Dfrac(HCN). We detected emission of DCN(2-1) and H13CN(2-1) arising from L1157-B1 shock. Dfrac(HCN) is ~4x10$^{-3}$ and given the uncertainties, we did not find significant variations across the bow-shock. Contrary to HDCO, whose emission delineates the region of impact between the jet and the ambient material, DCN is more widespread and not limited to the impact region. This is consistent with the idea that gas-phase chemistry is playing a major role in the deuteration of HCN in the head of the bow-shock, where HDCO is undetected as it is a product of grain-surface chemistry. The spectra of DCN and H13CN match the spectral signature of the outflow cavity walls, suggesting that their emission result from shocked gas. The analysis of the time dependent gas-grain chemical model UCL-CHEM coupled with a C-type shock model shows that the observed Dfrac(HCN) is reached during the post-shock phase, matching the dynamical timescale of the shock. Our results indicate that the presence of DCN in L1157-B1 is a combination of gas-phase chemistry that produces the widespread DCN emission, dominating in the head of the bow-shock, and sputtering from grain mantles toward the jet impact region.

description: We present a general-purpose solver for convex quadratic programs based on the alternating direction method of multipliers, employing a novel operator splitting technique that requires the solution of a quasi-definite linear system with the same coefficient matrix at almost every iteration. Our algorithm is very robust, placing no requirements on the problem data such as positive definiteness of the objective function or linear independence of the constraint functions. It can be configured to be division-free once an initial matrix factorization is carried out, making it suitable for real-time applications in embedded systems. In addition, our technique is the first operator splitting method for quadratic programs able to reliably detect primal and dual infeasible problems from the algorithm iterates. The method also supports factorization caching and warm starting, making it particularly efficient when solving parametrized problems arising in finance, control, and machine learning. Our open-source C implementation OSQP has a small footprint, is library-free, and has been extensively tested on many problem instances from a wide variety of application areas. It is typically ten times faster than competing interior-point methods, and sometimes much more when factorization caching or warm start is used. OSQP has already shown a large impact with tens of thousands of users both in academia and in large corporations.

description: Представлен обзор имеющихся в научной литературе материалов, касающихся филогенетического разнообразия и факторов вирулентности уропатогенных Escherichia coli (UPEC). Последние составляют до 90% бактериальных культур при неосложненных инфекциях мочевыводящих путей (ИМВП) у амбулаторных пациентов и около 50% – у людей, находящихся на стационарном лечении. Предпринята попытка проанализировать роль и частоту встречаемости ряда факторов, которые повышают адаптацию бактерий к условиям мочевыводящего тракта и обусловливают их персистенцию и инвазию. Разнообразие данных по набору и частоте встречаемости факторов патогенности среди UPEC подтвердило гипотезу, что наличия отдельного гена или даже кластера генов, кодирующих один фактор вирулентности, недостаточно, чтобы бактерии могли вызвать заболевание. Обсуждаются работы, показывающие возможность существования различных патотипов UPEC, а также приведены исследования гибридных, UPEC/диареегенных, штаммов. Акцентируется внимание на том, что комплекс генов вирулентности, в том числе в составе островков патогенности, в большей степени характерен для представителей определенных филогенетических групп (В2 и D). Авторы приходят к заключению, что для лучшего понимания биологической основы ИМВП требуются новые знания о филогенезе, факторах вирулентности и персистенции UPEC, а также о паттернах хозяина, способствующих его восприимчивости к различным патотипам этих бактерий.

Microlensing of Extremely Magnified Stars near Caustics of Galaxy Clusters

description: Recent observations of lensed galaxies at cosmological distances have detected individual stars that are extremely magnified when crossing the caustics of lensing clusters. In idealized cluster lenses with smooth mass distributions, two images of a star of radius $R$ approaching a caustic brighten as $t^{-1/2}$ and reach a peak magnification $\sim 10^{6}\, (10\, R_{\odot}/R)^{1/2}$ before merging on the critical curve. We show that a mass fraction ($κ_\star \gtrsim \, 10^{-4.5}$) in microlenses inevitably disrupts the smooth caustic into a network of corrugated microcaustics, and produces light curves with numerous peaks. Using analytical calculations and numerical simulations, we derive the characteristic width of the network, caustic-crossing frequencies, and peak magnifications. For the lens parameters of a recent detection and a population of intracluster stars with $κ_\star \sim 0.01$, we find a source-plane width of $\sim 20 \, {\rm pc}$ for the caustic network, which spans $0.2 \, {\rm arcsec}$ on the image plane. A source star takes $\sim 2\times 10^4$ years to cross this width, with a total of $\sim 6 \times 10^4$ crossings, each one lasting for $\sim 5\,{\rm hr}\,(R/10\,R_\odot)$ with typical peak magnifications of $\sim 10^{4} \left( R/ 10\,R_\odot \right)^{-1/2}$. The exquisite sensitivity of caustic-crossing events to the granularity of the lens-mass distribution makes them ideal probes of dark matter components, such as compact halo objects and ultralight axion dark matter.

Quantum annealing with a nonvanishing final value of the transverse field

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We study the problem to infer the original ground state of a spin-glass Hamiltonian out of the information from the Hamiltonian with interactions deviated from the original ones. Our motivation comes from quantum annealing on a real device in which the values of interactions are degraded by noise. We show numerically for quasi-one-dimensional systems that the Hamming distance between the original ground state and the inferred spin state is minimized when we stop the process of quantum annealing before the amplitude of the transverse field reaches zero in contrast to the conventional prescription. This result means that finite quantum fluctuations compensate for the effects of noise, at least to some extent. Analytical calculations using the infinite-range mean-field model support our conclusion qualitatively.

Evaluation in the Youth Field: Theoretical Framework for Evaluating Implementation of the Youth Goals
Creators: name: Bárta, Ondřej
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019
Subjects: Evaluation, youth, youth policy, EU Youth Goals

description: This publication brings together current evaluation theories with an ambitious purpose of making the evaluation as such into a more widely understood and subsequently also a more frequently used tool in the youth sector. Wide audience is necessary in order to achieve this goal: practitioners, policymakers, youth researchers, as well as wide public. Practitioners may find evaluation useful when critically approaching their own everyday practice in order to both collect evidence of quality work and improving when necessary. Policymakers may get inspired and put evaluation mechanisms in place as part of the policy implementation phase, therefore enabling the evaluation to serve as continuous tool to provide evidence and help optimize as well as assess the implementation process as well as the policy itself. Youth researchers may appreciate another viewpoint on the research methods they are already familiar with and utilize them in a different way than usual next time they design a research project. And the wide public, particularly young people as beneficiaries of the youth policy measures, may strengthen their understanding and critical thinking on existent policies and the debates around them.
