description: We report on a possible correlation between the masses and periods of the extrasolar planets, manifested as a paucity of massive planets with short orbital periods. Monte-Carlo simulations show the effect is significant, and is not solely due to an observational selection effect. We also show the effect is stronger than the one already implied by published models that assumed independent power-law distributions for the masses and periods of the extrasolar planets. Planets found in binary stellar systems may have an opposite correlation. The difference is highly significant despite the small number of planets in binary systems. We discuss the paucity of short-period massive planets in terms of some theories for the close-in giant planets. Almost all models can account for the deficit of massive planets with short periods, in particular the model that assumes migration driven by a planet-disk interaction, if the planet masses do not scale with their disk masses.

description: Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) solutions (5% vs. 10%) in hematological patients suffering from a secondary immunodeficiency (SID) to optimize infusion duration and hospitalization time. Design: A monocentric, observational study in 30 patients with secondary hypogammaglobulinemia due to a lymphoproliferative disorder currently under IVIg 5% treatment. A sequential approach was followed with observations during IVIg 5% and 10% administration 3 to 4 weeks later. Infusion time, time spent at the day clinic, IVIg-related adverse events and number of actions taken by the nursing staff were evaluated and compared between the 5% and 10% infusions. Questionnaires for patients and nursing staff were obtained after IVIg 10% to assess their satisfaction with the change of infusion. Results: Average infusion time was reduced from 4.92 h to 2.29 h (p < 0.0001). Time spent at the day clinic was 5.87 h for the 5% IVIg administration and 4.56 h for the 10% (p = 0.0005). IVIg-related adverse events rose from 0 to 0.43 per patient. No serious adverse events were reported. Nursing actions per patient decreased from 1.03 to 0.67. Patient and nursing satisfaction were respectively 83% and 96% in favor of IVIg 10%. Conclusion: A 10% IVIg solution can significantly reduce infusion time and overall duration of the day clinic visit. Care must be taken to minimize new infusion-related adverse events. Switching to a 10% IVIg administration increases patient and nursing satisfaction but also requires additional workflow changes to further shorten the day clinic visit.

description: We are exploring galaxy evolution in low density environments exploiting smooth particle hydrodynamic simulations including chemo-photometric implementation. From a large grid of simulations of galaxy encounters and mergers starting from triaxial halos of gas e dark matter, we single out the simulations matching the global properties of our targets. These simulations are used to give insights into their evolution. We focus on 11 early-type galaxies selected because of their nearly passive stage of evolution in the nuclear region. However, a variety of UV features are detected in more than half of these galaxies. We find no significant differences in the formation mechanisms between galaxies with or without UV features. Major and minor mergers are able to reproduce their peculiar UV morphologies, galaxy encounters are more suitable for 'normal' early-type galaxies. Their star formation rate self-quenches several Gyr later the merger/encounter occurred, via gas exhaustion and stellar feedback, moving the galaxy from blue to red colors, driving the galaxy transformation. The length of the quenching is mass dependent and lasts from 1 to 5 Gyr or more in the less massive systems. All our targets are gas rich at redshift 1. Three of them assembled at most 40% of their current stellar mass at z>1, and seven assembled more than 50% between redshift 0.5 and 1. Their stellar mass grows with 4% by crossing the Green Valley before reaching their current position on the NUV-r vs. Mr diagram.

description: Multiple rotation averaging is an essential task for structure from motion, mapping, and robot navigation. The task is to estimate the absolute orientations of several cameras given some of their noisy relative orientation measurements. The conventional methods for this task seek parameters of the absolute orientations that agree best with the observed noisy measurements according to a robust cost function. These robust cost functions are highly nonlinear and are designed based on certain assumptions about the noise and outlier distributions. In this work, we aim to build a neural network that learns the noise patterns from the data and predict/regress the model parameters from the noisy relative orientations. The proposed network is a combination of two networks: (1) a view-graph cleaning network, which detects outlier edges in the view-graph and rectifies noisy measurements; and (2) a fine-tuning network, which fine-tunes an initialization of absolute orientations bootstrapped from the cleaned graph, in a single step. The proposed combined network is very fast, moreover, being trained on a large number of synthetic graphs, it is more accurate than the conventional iterative optimization methods. Although the idea of replacing robust optimization methods by a graph-based network is demonstrated only for multiple rotation averaging, it could easily be extended to other graph-based geometric problems, for example, pose-graph optimization.

description: I explore computer simulations of the dynamics of small multi-fermion lattice systems. The method is more general, but I concentrate on Hubbard type models where the fermions hop between a small number of connected sites. I use the natural mapping of fermion occupation numbers onto computer bits. Signs from fermion interchange are reduced to bit counting. The technique inherently requires computer resources growing exponentially with the system volume; so, it restricted to modestly small systems. Large volume results would require combining these techniques with further approximations, perhaps in a recursive renormalization group manner.

description: To highlight the continuous cultivation of soil on biodiversity in savannas of Korhogo in the north of Côte d’Ivoire, termites were studied with regard to their use as bio-indicators of habitat change in the tropics. Using a standardized method, termites were sampled in five types of plots (PCR 1, PCR 2, PCR 3, PCR 10 and PCR 30) which age of continuous cultivation varies from 1 to 30 years in comparison with the primary savanna. The diversity of termites has differed statistically between the habitat types. The species richness highest in the primary savanna (24 species), decreases progressively with the continuous cultivation of soil to reach lowest in the elderly cultures plots PRC 30 (9 species), either 64 % of reduction. Continuous cultivation of soil causes a drastic reduction in soil-feeders group (75 % of reduction on PCR 2). But there was no significant change in termites’ diversity between the savanna and the recent culture PCR 1. The cultivation of soil would have, in the first years, a positive effect on the diversity and abundance of wood feeders. This study shows the impact inflicted by the continuous cultivation of soil on the communities of termites in Korhogo region.

description: Nanosecond pulsed laser induced photoporation has gained increasing attention from scholars as an effective method for delivering the membrane-impermeable extracellular materials into living cells. Compared with femtosecond laser, nanosecond laser has the advantage of high throughput and low costs. It also has a higher delivery efficiency than continuous wave laser. Here, we provide an extensive overview of current status of nanosecond pulsed laser induced photoporation, covering the photoporation mechanism as well as various factors that impact the delivery efficiency of photoporation. Additionally, we discuss various techniques for achieving photoporation, such as direct photoporation, nanoparticles-mediated photoporation and plasmonic substrates mediated photoporation. Among these techniques, nanoparticles-mediated photoporation is the most promising approach for potential clinical application. Studies have already been reported to safely destruct the vitreous opacities in vivo by nanosecond laser induced vapor nanobubble. Finally, we discuss the potential of nanosecond laser induced phototoporation for future clinical applications, particularly in the areas of skin and ophthalmic pathologies. We hope this review can inspire scientists to further improve nanosecond laser induced photoporation and facilitate its eventual clinical application.

description: In recent years, Berlin has witnessed an ever-growing internationalization, predominantly through migration flows from all over the world. Its Jewish population has equally diversified: Berlin is now populated by Jews from the Americas, Europe and also by young Israelis who permanently live in the city. The migrant group of ‘Israelis in Berlin’ has attracted significant media attention in Germany, Israel and beyond and has often been portrayed as detached from the existing local Jewish community. My thesis interrogates this assumption and presents an ethnography which shows diverse and complex affiliations and Jewishness(es) entangled with nationality, ethnicity, religion, gender and sexuality. Through the immersion in ‘Jewish’ and ‘Hebrew’ Berlin, I span an interrelated ethnographic field which I construe as a scene. Focusing on a choir, and its connections to a synagogue and a queer Shabbat event, I investigate ‘how the scene constitutes itself as Jewish’. Combining ethnography with biographical-narrative interviews, I present how this scene is enacted and performed, embedded in the respective historical and socio-political contexts, and constituting itself by migration and conversion. By way of mirroring the biographies of migrants and converts, I argue that Jewishness in the scene is constituted by complexity rather than unity, ambivalence rather than certainty and contestation rather than agreement. The influence of Israeli migration to Berlin and the presence of Hebrew engenders the emergence of new ways of ‘being Jewish’. Under the specific representations of Jewishness in Germany, ‘being Jewish’ is always co-constructed alongside the negotiation over ‘being German’. Thus, by way of mapping trajectories of conversion and migration and their embeddedness in their respective socio-political contexts, I analyse processes of ‘becoming Jewish’ and their impact on this urban scene. In the framework of urban scenes, diaspora and secularism, I describe transformations towards new forms of urban (religious) socialities and aesthetics (music) and show how biographical research and the study of urban scenes offer profound insights towards new understandings of contemporary societies in the light of global transformations.

description: Results are presented from the first detailed spectroscopic observations of the recently identified intermediate polar RXJ0028.8+5917/V709 Cas. The study of the emission line radial velocities allows us to remove the uncertainties on the different aliases of the orbital period and a best value is found at (0.2225 +/- 0.0002) day. It is also found that the system shows significant EW~ (2-4)A, broad absorptions affecting the Balmer lines from Hdelta to Hbeta. These broad absorptions are interpreted as the contribution of an underlying white dwarf atmosphere. The characteristics of the absorptions are found to be consistent with a DA log(g) = 8 white dwarf at a temperature of ~ 23 000 K, contributing ~ 17 % (at 4500 A) to the overall flux. This is the first direct detection of a white dwarf in an intermediate polar system. The absence of significant Zeeman splitting indicates a magnetic field lower than 10 MG, confirming that, at least in some cases, intermediate polars have weaker fields than polars. Different possibilities are discussed to explain the substantial contribution of the white dwarf to the overall flux.

description: We review the continuous monitoring of a qubit through its spontaneous emission, at an introductory level. Contemporary experiments have been able to collect the fluorescence of an artificial atom in a cavity and transmission line, and then make measurements of that emission to obtain diffusive quantum trajectories in the qubit's state. We give a straightforward theoretical overview of such scenarios, using a framework based on Kraus operators derived from a Bayesian update concept; we apply this flexible framework across common types of measurements including photodetection, homodyne, and heterodyne monitoring, and illustrate its equivalence to the stochastic master equation formalism throughout. Special emphasis is given to homodyne (phase-sensitive) monitoring of fluorescence. The examples we develop are used to illustrate basic methods in quantum trajectories, but also to introduce some more advanced topics of contemporary interest, including the arrow of time in quantum measurement, and trajectories following optimal measurement records derived from a variational principle. The derivations we perform lead directly from the development of a simple model to an understanding of recent experimental results.

description: Selected recent results from the H1 and ZEUS experiments are reviewed, illustrating some of the many facets of ``meson physics'' at the HERA ep collider. The results cover exclusive elastic and proton-dissociative diffractive vector meson production and comparisons with recent theoretical calculations show that perturbative QCD models are successful in describing these processes when at least one of the involved scales have large values. Furthermore a search for odderon induced exclusive photoproduction of pseudoscalar and tensor mesons is described; upper limits for the cross sections are below recent theoretical predictions. Finally the status of open charm meson spectroscopy in inclusive final states is reported.

description: Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are an integral part of consumer electronic devices and electric vehicles. There is a growing need for LIBs with higher capacity, rate performance and cycling stability. At the anode electrode these challenges are being addressed for instance by utilising materials with higher theoretical capacity compared to graphite (372 mAh/g) or by optimising the morphology of materials through nanostructuring of the electrode. In this thesis the former is investigated by synthesising a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) tin sulphide (SnS2) hybrid, and the latter by self-assembly of rGO sodium titanate and rGO titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanorods. In Chapter 2, SnS2 is investigated due to its high theoretical capacity as an anode material (645 mAh/g), low cost and environmental benignity. SnS2 nanoparticles were grown directly on rGO sheets which provide a conductive framework and limit the detachment of tin particles which undergo large volume changes during alloying reactions. However, a fast decrease in capacity was observed. Post-mortem analysis of the electrodes showed that rGO becomes irreversibly passivated suggesting that additional measures to retain effective charge transport between the low weight percent conductive additive and the active phase during cycling are required. An alternative material system based on nanorods of intercalation materials (sodium titanate and TiO2) wrapped by rGO sheets was chosen to investigate self-assembly in anodes to address the low packing density of nanomaterials. A drop-casting method was used to align rGO-sodium titanate nanorods through evaporation driven self-assembly (Chapter 3) which relies on a combination of electrostatic repulsive forces originating from the rGO coating, and liquid crystal phase formation at high concentrations, facilitated by the high aspect ratio nanorods. As reference, non-aligned films were prepared by adjusting the pH of the nanorod dispersion. Freestanding aligned and non-aligned films were converted to rGO-TiO2 (Chapter 4). The volumetric capacity of the self-assembled films was double that of non-aligned films, and up to 4.5 times higher than traditional casted electrodes using the same material. Further, up to rates of 4 C, the self-assembled films outperformed the non-aligned films. These films showed no sign of capacity fading up to 1000 cycles, which together with post-mortem analysis confirms that these assembled structures are maintained during battery cycling.

description: Deep neural networks have demonstrated advanced abilities on various visual classification tasks, which heavily rely on the large-scale training samples with annotated ground-truth. However, it is unrealistic always to require such annotation in real-world applications. Recently, Few-Shot learning (FS), as an attempt to address the shortage of training samples, has made significant progress in generic classification tasks. Nonetheless, it is still challenging for current FS models to distinguish the subtle differences between fine-grained categories given limited training data. To filling the classification gap, in this paper, we address the Few-Shot Fine-Grained (FSFG) classification problem, which focuses on tackling the fine-grained classification under the challenging few-shot learning setting. A novel low-rank pairwise bilinear pooling operation is proposed to capture the nuanced differences between the support and query images for learning an effective distance metric. Moreover, a feature alignment layer is designed to match the support image features with query ones before the comparison. We name the proposed model Low-Rank Pairwise Alignment Bilinear Network (LRPABN), which is trained in an end-to-end fashion. Comprehensive experimental results on four widely used fine-grained classification datasets demonstrate that our LRPABN model achieves the superior performances compared to state-of-the-art methods.

description: The study aimed to examine gender resource accessibility and profitability among groundnut producers in Hong Local Government Area of Adamawa State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling technique was used to sample 54 respondents (27 male and 27 female) by the use of a structured questionnaire. The data from the survey were analysed using frequency distribution and gross margin analysis. The results showed that the men were generally older and more experienced than the women with 77.8% and 55.5% of men and women respectively being over 40 years of age and 51.9% and 37.1% of men and women respectively having farming experience of over 20 years. The perception of the respondents was that men had more access to resources and opportunities that enhance productivity (land, labour, chemicals, market and education) than women (fertilizer, seeds, and cooperatives). Gross margin per hectare of men was N62, 693 while that of women was N37, 732. It was recommended that credit provision in cash and kind to women by Government and other relevant organisations be encouraged in order to give women improved access to production resources to increase women’s productivity and profitability.

description: A greenhouse pot experiment was conducted at the University of Zimbabwe to screen six cowpea varieties for resistance to Alectravogelii infection. Emergence of A. vogeliiwas first detected 55 days after crop emergence. A. vogeliiemergence was not significantly (P > 0.05) influenced by cowpea genotype. No differences (P > 0.05) in cowpea parameters that were measured were observed among the cowpea genotypes. However, A. vogeliiinfection significantly (P < 0.05) reduced cowpea shoot biomass and pod number by 57 % and 98 %, respectively. Infected cowpeas failed to produce any pods at all with the exception of cowpea cultivar C/83/4/6 and C/85/6/4. A similar trend of results was observed with grain yield. Root biomass was not significantly influenced by A. vogeliiinfection. A. vogelii infected cowpeas had significantly (P < 0.05) higher root /shoot ratio compared to uninfected plants. Based on results on A. vogeliiemergence and cowpea parameters collected in this study, it can be concluded that all the cowpea genotypes evaluated are susceptible to A. vogeliiinfection. However, it can also be concluded that the two pre-released varieties C/83/4/6 and C/85/6/4 are moderately susceptible because they were able to produce grain and should therefore be further evaluated under field conditions.

description: There exists an unfulfilled requirement for effective cochlear pharmacotherapy. Controlled local drug delivery could lead to effective bioavailability. The round window niche (RWN), a cavity in the middle ear, is connected to the cochlea via a membrane through which drug can diffuse. We are developing individualized drug-eluting RWN implants (RNIs). To test their effectiveness in guinea pigs, a commonly used model in cochlear pharmacology studies, it is first necessary to develop guinea pig RNIs (GP-RNI). Since guinea pigs do not have a RWN such as it is present in humans and to reduce the variables in in vivo studies, a one-size-fits-all GP-RNI model was designed using 12 data sets of Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs. The model was 3D-printed using silicone. The accuracy and precision of printing, distribution of the sample ingredient dexamethasone (DEX), biocompatibility, bio-efficacy, implantability and drug release were tested in vitro. The GP-RNI efficacy was validated in cochlear implant-traumatized guinea pigs in vivo. The 3D-printed GP-RNI was precise, accurate and fitted in all tested guinea pig RWNs. DEX was homogeneously included in the silicone. The GP-RNI containing 1% DEX was biocompatible, bio-effective and showed a two-phase and sustained DEX release in vitro, while it reduced fibrous tissue growth around the cochlear implant in vivo. We developed a GP-RNI that can be used for precise inner ear drug delivery in guinea pigs, providing a reliable platform for testing the RNI’s safety and efficacy, with potential implications for future clinical translation.

description: The excellent quality of the Chandra observation of NGC 5846 reveals a complex X-ray morphology of the central regions of this galaxy. An intriguing morphological similarity between the X-ray and the optical line emission, discovered before using ROSAT HRI images (Trinchieri, Noris & Di Serego Alighieri 1997), is confirmed here in unprecedented detail. Complex spectral characteristics are associated with the morphological peculiarities, indicating a possibly turbulent gas in this object. A population of ~ 40 individual sources is also observed, with Lx in the range ~ 3 x 10**{38}- 2 x 10**{39} erg/sec, with an X-ray luminosity function that is steeper in the high-luminosity end than in other early-type galaxies.

description: Adsorption on a boundary line confining a monolayer of particles self-assembling into clusters is studied by MC simulations. We focus on a system of particles interacting via competing interaction potential in which effectively short-range attraction is followed by long-range repulsion, mimicking the so called SALR system. For the chemical potential values below the order-disorder phase transition the adsorption isotherms were shown to undergo non-standard behavior, i. e. the adsorption exhibits a maximum upon structural transition between structureless and disordered cluster fluid. In particular, we have found that the adsorption decreases for increasing chemical potential when (i) clusters dominate over monomers in the bulk, (ii) the density profile in the direction perpendicular to the confining line exhibits an oscillatory decay, (iii) the correlation function in the layer near the adsorption wall exhibits an oscillatory decay in the direction parallel to this wall. Our report indicates striking differences between simple and complex fluid adsorption processes.

description: This paper studies an unsupervised deep learning-based numerical approach for solving partial differential equations (PDEs). The approach makes use of the deep neural network to approximate solutions of PDEs through the compositional construction and employs least-squares functionals as loss functions to determine parameters of the deep neural network. There are various least-squares functionals for a partial differential equation. This paper focuses on the so-called first-order system least-squares (FOSLS) functional studied in [3], which is based on a first-order system of scalar second-order elliptic PDEs. Numerical results for second-order elliptic PDEs in one dimension are presented.

description: We present a study of the three ultraluminous infrared galaxies IRAS14348-1447, IRAS19254-7245, and IRAS23128-5919, based on mid-infrared (MIR) spectro-imaging (5-18microns) observations performed with ISOCAM. We find that the MIR emission from each system, which consists of a pair of interacting late type galaxies, is principally confined to the nuclear regions with diameters of 1-2kpc and can account for more than 95% of their IRAS 12micron flux. In each interacting system, the galaxy hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN) dominates the total spectrum and shows stronger dust continuum (12-16microns) relative to the Unidentified Infrared Band (UIB) emission (6-9microns), suggestive of its enhanced radiation field. The MIR dominant galaxy also exhibits elevated 15micron/Halpha and 15micron/K ratios which trace the high extinction due to the large quantities of molecular gas and dust present in its central regions. Using only diagnostics based on our mid-infrared spectra, we can establish that the Seyfert galaxy IRAS19254-7245 exhibits MIR spectral features of an AGN while the MIR spectrum of the Seyfert (or LINER) member of IRAS23128-5919 is characteristic of dust emission principally heated by star forming regions.

description: Availability of data on agricultural activities and production are essential for an appropriate socio-economic planning and sustainability. This study was conducted using a questionnaire that was randomly distributed to farmers to identify some features of the agricultural activities in Hail region and to serve as baseline data on agricultural practices. The questionnaire was divided into main topics including socio-economic status of farms, farm area, main crops, production systems, agricultural practices, financial support, and use of wind breaks, water conservation, animal husbandry and marketing. Some of the results showed that date palms and alfalfa fodder were found to be the main grown crops in addition to citrus, grapes, vegetables, wheat and Rye. In most cases, all these crops were cultivated in open fields, compared to only 18% grown in green houses. About half of the farmers adopted the monoculture system and only 44.9% of them applied the crop rotation. More than 70% of farmers raise animals and the most commonly reared animal are sheep (53.6%) followed by goats (23%), camels (18%) and poultry (4.5%). The study revealed that Hail region is an important agricultural area in KSA and some agricultural practices need to be revised and directed towards sustainability through extension programmes.
