description: Magneto-acoustic tomography combines near-field radio-frequency (RF) and ultrasound with the aim of creating a safe, high resolution, high contrast hybrid imaging technique. We present continuous-wave magneto-acoustic imaging techniques, which improve SNR and/or reduce the required peak-to-average excitation power ratio, to make further integration and larger fields of view feasible. This method relies on the coherency between RF excitation and the resulting ultrasound generated through Lorentz force interactions, which was confirmed by our previous work. We provide detailed methodology, clarify the details of experiments, and explain how the presence of magneto-acoustic phenomenon was verified. An example magneto-acoustic B-scan image is acquired in order to illustrate the capability of magneto-acoustic tomography in highlighting boundaries where electrical conductivity alters, such as between different tissues.

description: Context. Solar energetic particles observed in association with coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are produced by the CME-driven shock waves. The acceleration of particles is considered to be due to diffusive shock acceleration (DSA). Aims. We aim at a better understanding of DSA in the case of quasi-parallel shocks, in which self-generated turbulence in the shock vicinity plays a key role. Methods. We have developed and applied a new Monte Carlo simulation code for acceleration of protons in parallel coronal shocks. The code performs a self-consistent calculation of resonant interactions of particles with Alfvén waves based on the quasi-linear theory. In contrast to the existing Monte Carlo codes of DSA, the new code features the full quasi-linear resonance condition of particle pitch-angle scattering. This allows us to take anisotropy of particle pitch-angle scattering into account, while the older codes implement an approximate resonance condition leading to isotropic scattering.We performed simulations with the new code and with an old code, applying the same initial and boundary conditions, and have compared the results provided by both codes with each other, and with the predictions of the steady-state theory. Results. We have found that anisotropic pitch-angle scattering leads to less efficient acceleration of particles than isotropic. However, extrapolations to particle injection rates higher than those we were able to use suggest the capability of DSA to produce relativistic particles. The particle and wave distributions in the foreshock as well as their time evolution, provided by our new simulation code, are significantly different from the previous results and from the steady-state theory. Specifically, the mean free path in the simulations with the new code is increasing with energy, in contrast to the theoretical result.

description: We demonstrate fully three-dimensional and patterned localization of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond with coherence times in excess of 1 ms. Nitrogen δ-doping during CVD diamond growth vertically confines nitrogen to 4 nm while electron irradiation with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) laterally confines vacancies to less than 1 μm. We characterize the effects of electron energy and dose on NV formation. Importantly, our technique enables the formation of reliably high-quality NV centers inside diamond nanostructures, with applications in quantum information and sensing.

description: The dynamics of momentum-dark exciton formation in transition metal dichalcogenides is difficult to measure experimentally, as many momentum-indirect exciton states are not accessible to optical interband spectroscopy. Here, we combine a tunable pump, high-harmonic probe laser source with a 3D momentum imaging technique to map photoemitted electrons from monolayer WS2. This provides momentum-, energy- and time-resolved access to excited states on an ultrafast time scale. The high temporal resolution of the setup allows us to trace the early-stage exciton dynamics on its intrinsic time scale and observe the formation of a momentum-forbidden dark KΣ exciton a few tens of femtoseconds after optical excitation. By tuning the excitation energy, we manipulate the temporal evolution of the coherent excitonic polarization and observe its influence on the dark exciton formation. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with a fully microscopic theory, resolving the temporal and spectral dynamics of bright and dark excitons in WS2.

Year: 2020

description: Probe vehicle speed data are being used to evaluate traffic congestion characteristics, resiliency, and network response at local, corridor, and regional levels. A better understanding of changes in traffic characteristics, 24-hours a day, 7 days a week, can be realized through the analysis of spatially located, temporal speed data. This paper explores the possibility to use probe vehicle data sets to quantify the impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19), which closed New Jersey State schools and buildings starting around March 18, 2020. The preliminary research analyzed about 500,000 speed records over a 21 week period at two intersections in Northern New Jersey to numerically and visually characterize the speed patterns. A simplistic comparison of average speeds binned in 15, 10, and 1-minute increments was conducted to quantify the change in vehicle travel speeds. Although further research and statistical analysis is necessary to evaluate the data as it relates to the New Jersey State pandemic policies, the preliminary results indicate that school closures and stay-at-home orders effectively increased speeds at the two study sites. Based on these results a statewide analysis, with evolving performance metrics, will be conducted.

The spectrum and Feynman rules are calculated. the dark matter phenomenology is also studied. In case of $ł\sim 0$, the singlet sector can give perfect explanation of relic abundance of dark matter and small cosmological structure simulations. The BBN constraints on the light mediator can be easily solved by decaying to the right handed neutrino. When the $ł_N$ is at the order of $\mathcal{O}(0.1)$, the mass of the mediator can be constrained to several MeV

Here we solve the stochastic model, show that ensemble averages over many realizations correspond to the deterministic equations, and fit the anastomosis rate coefficient so that the total number of vessel tips evolves similarly in the deterministic and ensemble averaged stochastic descriptions.

description: In this letter, we present a novel exponentially embedded families (EEF) based classification method, in which the probability density function (PDF) on raw data is estimated from the PDF on features. With the PDF construction, we show that class-specific features can be used in the proposed classification method, instead of a common feature subset for all classes as used in conventional approaches. We apply the proposed EEF classifier for text categorization as a case study and derive an optimal Bayesian classification rule with class-specific feature selection based on the Information Gain (IG) score. The promising performance on real-life data sets demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach and indicates its wide potential applications.

Applications include Plücker formulae, constraints on self-dual varieties, generalizations to singular varieties of classical formulas for the degree of the dual and the dual defect, formulas for the Euclidean distance degree, and computations of Chern-Mather classes and local Euler obstructions for cones.

description: The influence of atomic vacancy defects at different concentrations on electronic properties of MoS$_2$ and WS$_2$ monolayers is studied by means of Slater-Koster tight-binding model with non-orthogonal $sp^3d^5$ orbitals and including the spin-orbit coupling. The presence of vacancy defects induces localized states in the bandgap of pristine MoS$_2$ and WS$_2$, which have potential to modify the electronic structure of the systems, depending on the type and concentration of the defects. It is shown that although the contribution of metal (Mo or W) $d$ orbitals is dominant in the formation of midgap states, the sulphur $p$ and $d$ orbitals have also considerable contribution in the localized states, when metal defects are introduced. Our results suggest that Mo and W defects can turn the monolayers into p-type semiconductors, while the sulphur defects make the system a n-type semiconductor, in agreement with ab initio results and experimental observations.

description: The primary Kepler Mission provided nearly continuous monitoring of ~200,000 objects with unprecedented photometric precision. We present the final catalog of eclipsing binary systems within the 105 square degree Kepler field of view. This release incorporates the full extent of the data from the primary mission (Q0-Q17 Data Release). As a result, new systems have been added, additional false positives have been removed, ephemerides and principal parameters have been recomputed, classifications have been revised to rely on analytical models, and eclipse timing variations have been computed for each system. We identify several classes of systems including those that exhibit tertiary eclipse events, systems that show clear evidence of additional bodies, heartbeat systems, systems with changing eclipse depths, and systems exhibiting only one eclipse event over the duration of the mission. We have updated the period and galactic latitude distribution diagrams and included a catalog completeness evaluation. The total number of identified eclipsing and ellipsoidal binary systems in the Kepler field of view has increased to 2878, 1.3% of all observed Kepler targets. An online version of this catalog with downloadable content and visualization tools is maintained at http://keplerEBs.villanova.edu.

The quantum ferromagnetic transition in a clean Kondo lattice is discontinuous

description: The Kondo-lattice model, which couples a lattice of localized magnetic moments to conduction electrons, is often used to describe heavy-fermion systems. Because of the interplay between Kondo physics and magnetic order it displays very complex behavior and is notoriously hard to solve. The ferromagnetic Kondo-lattice model, with a ferromagnetic coupling between the local moments, describes a phase transition from a paramagnetic phase to a ferromagnetic one as a function of either temperature or the ferromagnetic local-moment coupling. At zero temperature, this is a quantum phase transition that has received considerable attention. It has been theoretically described to be continuous, or second order. Here we show that this belief is mistaken; in the absence of quenched disorder the quantum phase transition is first order, in agreement with experiments, as is the corresponding transition in other metallic ferromagnets.

Longitudinal scanline based spatial-temporal modeling and processing for vehicle trajectory reconstruction
Creators: name: Zhang, Tianya
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: The Artificial Intelligent (AI) and Connected Automated Vehicle (CAV) technology allow innovative approaches to gather and analyze traffic data, helping traffic managers to proactively adjust the operational plan through real-time monitoring and analysis. Among many traffic data collection methods, video sensors hold high promises, providing extensive coverage and containing complete vehicle dynamic information. With the correct data, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) techniques will be more beneficial through better understanding and optimizing traffic, simultaneously improving traffic safety while reducing congestion and emissions. This research explores longitudinal scanline-based traffic video analytics, ranging from intermediate-angle to high-angle cameras. Scanline-based image processing for spatial-temporal modeling has been thoroughly investigated and examined using different levels of measurements of effectiveness (MOE). The method of coordinate transformation is through three systems (STMap Coordinate, Video Coordinate, World Coordinate). Considering the current trend of 3D infrastructure modeling, the LiDAR model is used to assist in the fast calibration of a traffic camera. Two novel neural networks were designed in this dissertation, including Res-UNet+ and Dual Attention Inception Neural Networks (DAIU). Deep-learning models for STMap-based vehicle detection overcome several issues in the image processing method, such as static noises, ineffective background modeling, low-quality video data. The proposed deep learning models outperform several baseline models with superior detection performance and fast training speed. In contrast to other models that require frame-by-frame labeled training data, the longitudinal scanline significantly reduces the data annotation load by labeling only the trajectories in STMap, which comprises only a small fraction of the overall video. Furthermore, the STMap-based vehicle detection method is a one-stage solution rather than the two-stage tracking-by-detection paradigm. With STMap method, the vehicle detection and tracking problem is converted into image segmentation efforts. The model comparison results with the state-of-the-art vehicle tracking solution show that the proposed method can achieve better overall performance and be more robust in challenging scenarios. In the connected and automated transportation system era, the camera-based traffic analytic technique has become indispensable. With data-driven technology, we can connect and empower traffic engineers, city agencies, and planners to build smart communities by mitigating traffic congestion and making the road safer for vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians.
Relative Convex Hull Determination from Convex Hulls in the Plane

description: A new algorithm for the determination of the relative convex hull in the plane of a simple polygon A with respect to another simple polygon B which contains A, is proposed. The relative convex hull is also known as geodesic convex hull, and the problem of its determination in the plane is equivalent to find the shortest curve among all Jordan curves lying in the difference set of B and A and encircling A. Algorithms solving this problem known from Computational Geometry are based on the triangulation or similar decomposition of that difference set. The algorithm presented here does not use such decomposition, but it supposes that A and B are given as ordered sequences of vertices. The algorithm is based on convex hull calculations of A and B and of smaller polygons and polylines, it produces the output list of vertices of the relative convex hull from the sequence of vertices of the convex hull of A.

description: The United States has deported more than four million noncitizens in the last twenty years largely because of changes to immigration law in 1996 via the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). Taking the case of the U.S. and Mexico, my dissertation is a binational ethnography that examines the social impacts of current U.S. deportation laws and policies on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Tracing the process of deportation from detention centers to immigration courts to hometowns of undocumented return migrants in Mexico, the dissertation examines how these laws shape the experiences of noncitizens placed in deportation proceedings as well as the socioeconomic reincorporation and transnationalism among deportees and other returnees in Mexico. I conducted participant observation and in-depth interviews over a 22-month-period between 2010 and 2014 in Mexico and the U.S. I engaged in participant observation at deportation hearings in immigration courts and privately-run men’s and women’s immigration detention centers in Texas. In Mexico, I gathered participant observation and interview data in 10 towns. I conducted 83 formal and informal interviews with return migrants (33 with deportees and 50 with voluntary returnees) and 41 formal and informal interviews with non-migrants including family members, community members, researchers, government officials and others. Building on Menjívar and Abrego’s concept of “legal violence” (2012), I ask: How does legal violence, as a reflection of state power, reify and transcend the sovereign borders of the state? And how do non-citizens subjected to legal violence resist, escape, and cope with it within and beyond the state’s sovereign borders? I conclude that legal, state-sponsored violence produces legal, subjugated individuals. However, kinship networks mitigate such state violence. I use the term precarious citizenship to describe the tenuousness individuals experience between state-sponsored violence and their participation in kinship-based gift economies

description: Seemingly contradictory, religion has been numerously theorized both a facilitator of cooperation and generosity and a source of intolerance and intergroup conflict. Of the many components that make up the umbrella category of religion, we focus on motoric synchronization as an evolved instrument that can facilitate both extragroup prosociality and intergroup competition, depending on the state of intergroup relations. Our aim is to test whether synchronization promotes extra-group prosociality during peaceful times, and intergroup competition during intergroup conflicts, both trends being adaptive in the processes of cultural evolution. Results will provide a parsimonious comparison of synchrony’s behavioral effects during conflict and peace as well as insights into their hormonal underpinnings.
Monotheism, kingship, and religious transformation in late antique Yemen : the rise and fall of Joseph dhu Nuwas

description: In 517 CE, a man called Yūsuf ’As’ar Yath’ar, but whom we know under the name Joseph dhu Nuwas, rose to take power over the Jewish Ḥimyarite kingdom. This kingdom was situated in the highlands of modern-day Yemen and had existed since 110 BCE, and had professed to some form of Judaism since roughly 390 CE. After less than a decade of strife and war, this Jewish kingdom succumbed to the Ethiopian Christians of Axum led by the king Kaleb. Ḥimyar then continued as a vassal state first of Axum and then of the Sassanians until the coming of Islam a century later. A few contemporaneous epigraphs describe these events, and a number of later Syriac, Arabic, and Greek texts preserve the memory of the fall of the Ḥimyarite kingdom and the victory of Axum. This dissertation examines the context in which the events of Ḥimyar took place, and situates them within the broader context of Late Antiquity. Further, it discusses the changes that occur when monotheism takes the place of polytheism, in terms of religious expression. To accomplish this task, I primarily examine the contemporaneous epigraphic evidence from both Ḥimyar and Axum (in both Sabaic and Ge’ez). I argue that the texts perform differently and that they reflect contemporaneous kingdoms with remarkably different vocabulary when they express how they perceive themselves and others. Thus, the main questions that the dissertation seeks to answer is what the accounts concerning Joseph dhu Nuwas’s rise to power in circa 517 CE might tell us of the religious transformation taking place in ancient Ḥimyar, and how this might fit into the general cultural milieu of the time. In extension to this question, I discuss later Islamic and Christian traditions and how they portrayed dhu Nuwas and his conqueror, Kaleb of Axum. The result is a cultural history of Joseph dhu Nuwas’s Jewish rule in Ḥimyar and his demise at the hands of the Christian king of Axum with an extended discussion of how monotheism arose in ancient Yemen before Islam

description: We examine the validity of the generalized factorization method and calculate the angular correlations in the charmful three-body baryonic decays of $\bar B^0\to Λ\bar p D^{(*)+}$. With the timelike baryonic form factors newly extracted from the measured baryonic $B$ decays, we obtain ${\cal B}(\bar B^0\to Λ\bar p D^+,Λ\bar p D^{*+})=(1.85\pm 0.30,2.75\pm 0.24)\times 10^{-5}$ to agree with the recent data from the BELLE Collaboration, which demonstrates that the theoretical approach based on the factorization still works well. For the angular distribution asymmetries, we find ${\cal A}_θ(\bar B^0\to Λ\bar p D^+,Λ\bar p D^{*+})=(-0.030\pm 0.002\,,+0.150\pm 0.000)$, which are consistent with the current measurements. Moreover, we predict that ${\cal A}_θ(\bar B^0\to p\bar p D^{0},p\bar p D^{*0})=+0.04\pm 0.01$. Future precise explorations of these angular correlations at BELLE and LHCb as well as super-BELLE are important to justify the present factorization approach in the charmful three-body baryonic decays.

description: In this article, we investigate both site and bond percolation on a weighted planar stochastic lattice (WPSL) which is a multi-multifractal and whose dual is a scale-free network. The characteristic properties of percolation is that it exhibits threshold phenomena as we find sudden or abrupt jump in spanning probability across $p_c$ accompanied by the divergence of some other observable quantities which is reminiscent of continuous phase transition. Indeed, percolation is characterized by the critical behavior of percolation strength $P(p)\sim (p_c-p)^β$, mean cluster size $S\sim (p_c-p)^{-γ}$ and the system size $L\sim (p_c-p)^{-ν}$ which are known as the equivalent counterpart of the order parameter, susceptibility and correlation length respectively. Moreover, the cluster size distribution function $n_s(p_c)\sim s^{-τ}$ and the mass-length relation $M\sim L^{d_f}$ of the spanning cluster also provide useful characterization of the percolation process. We obtain an exact value for $p_c$ and for all the exponents such as $β, ν, γ, τ$ and $d_f$. We find that, except $p_c$, all the exponents are exactly the same in both bond and site percolation despite the significant difference in the definition of cluster and other quantities. Our results suggest that the percolation on WPSL belongs to a new universality class as its exponents do not share the same value as for all the existing planar lattices and like other cases its site and bond belong to the same universality class.

description: INTRODUCTION: Sepsis is characterised by a dysregulated immune response to infection, with exaggerated pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses. A predominant immunosuppressive profile affecting both innate and adaptive immune responses is associated with increased hospital-acquired infection and reduced infection-free survival. While hospital-acquired infection leads to additional antibiotic use, the role of the immunosuppressive phenotype in guiding complex decisions, such as those affecting antibiotic stewardship, is uncertain. This study is a mechanistic substudy embedded within a multicentre clinical and cost-effectiveness trial of biomarker-guided antibiotic stewardship. This mechanistic study aims to determine the effect of sepsis-associated immunosuppression on the trial outcome measures. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: RISC-sepsis is a prospective, multicentre, exploratory, observational study embedded within the ADAPT-sepsis trial. A subgroup of 180 participants with antibiotics commenced for suspected sepsis, enrolled in the ADAPT-sepsis trial, will be recruited. Blood samples will be collected on alternate days until day 7. At each time point, blood will be collected for flow cytometric analysis into cell preservation tubes. Immunophenotyping will be performed at a central testing hub by flow cytometry. The primary outcome measures are monocyte human leucocyte antigen-DR; neutrophil CD88; programmed cell death-1 on monocytes, neutrophils and T lymphocytes and the percentage of regulatory T cells. Secondary outcome measures will link to trial outcomes from the ADAPT-sepsis trial including antibiotic days; occurrence of hospital-acquired infection and length of ICU-stay and hospital-stay. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION: Ethical approval has been granted (IRAS 209815) and RISC-sepsis is registered with the ISRCTN (86837685). Study results will be disseminated by peer-reviewed publications, presentations at scientific meetings and via patient and public participation groups and social media.

description: Studies of electronic interferometers, based on edge channel transport in the quantum Hall effect regime, have been stimulated by the search for evidence of abelian and non-abelian anyonic statistics of fractional charges.These studies found the ubiquitous electronic Fabry-Perot interferometer to be Coulomb dominated, thus masking coherent Aharonov-Bohm interference. Typically, the main signature of the Coulomb dominated regime is the lack of interference of the outer most edge channel as the magnetic field is varied. This seemingly surprising behavior is explained by the shrinkage of the interference area with increasing magnetic field, thus keeping the number of electrons and the enclosed flux constant. The model further stipulates, but with no experimental evidence thus far, that once the area shrinks by a size corresponding to an entire flux-quantum, it abruptly inflates to its original size leading to an unobservable 2π phase jump. Here we report on the observation of such area breathing by performing a partial screening of the Coulomb interactions. The novelty is that the variation of the phase induced by the external knobs is not fully cancelled by the area response. We infer the area variations (with a resolution on the order of ~50 nm$^{2}$) from conductance measurements. The latter are sensitive to the continuous phase variations, and reveal abrupt phase-jumps (smaller than 2π). Based on our results, we propose a new experimental tool for probing anyonic statistics.
Moving in the cell : emergent behavior of molecular motor teams in crowded environments

Macromolecular crowding

description: Molecular motors' shuttling of cargo along cytoskeletal filaments is essential for many cellular processes. Motors are mechanoenzymes, and their response to external forces can influence their function. These responses have been largely mapped in dilute in vitro media. The cytosol, however, is crowded with a high concentration of macromolecules which can alter protein conformation, binding rates, reaction kinetics, and, therefore, motor function. Using live cell imaging and single-molecule optical trap measurements, the consequences of macromolecular crowding on cargo transport by kinesin-1 motors is investigated. Surprisingly, it is found that crowding significantly slows transport by teams of motors, while having no effect on single motor velocity. This emergent property of kinesin teams results from the individuals' increased sensitivity to hindering load in a crowded medium. To better understand how individual motor properties lead to emergent properties of kinesin teams, transport by multiple motor teams and their responses to force was simulated in silico. These simulations give results that are similar to those found in the in vitro experiments. Together, these results explain the long observed variability of cargo velocity in living cells, and suggest the use of crowding as a control parameter to study kinesin's mechanochemical cycle

description: Much of the knowledge and information needed for enabling high-quality clinical research is stored in free-text format. Natural language processing (NLP) has been used to extract information from these sources at scale for several decades. This paper aims to present a comprehensive review of clinical NLP for the past 15 years in the UK to identify the community, depict its evolution, analyse methodologies and applications, and identify the main barriers. We collect a dataset of clinical NLP projects (n = 94; £ = 41.97 m) funded by UK funders or the European Union's funding programmes. Additionally, we extract details on 9 funders, 137 organisations, 139 persons and 431 research papers. Networks are created from timestamped data interlinking all entities, and network analysis is subsequently applied to generate insights. 431 publications are identified as part of a literature review, of which 107 are eligible for final analysis. Results show, not surprisingly, clinical NLP in the UK has increased substantially in the last 15 years: the total budget in the period of 2019-2022 was 80 times that of 2007-2010. However, the effort is required to deepen areas such as disease (sub-)phenotyping and broaden application domains. There is also a need to improve links between academia and industry and enable deployments in real-world settings for the realisation of clinical NLP's great potential in care delivery. The major barriers include research and development access to hospital data, lack of capable computational resources in the right places, the scarcity of labelled data and barriers to sharing of pretrained models.

description: This work deals with gravity localization on codimension-1 brane worlds engendered by compacton-like kinks, the so-called hybrid branes. In such scenarios, the thin brane behaviour is manifested when the extra dimension is outside the compact domain, where the energy density is non-trivial, instead of asymptotically as in the usual thick brane models. The zero mode is trapped in the brane, as required. The massive modes, although are not localized in the brane, have important phenomenological implications such as corrections to the Newton's law. We study such corrections in the usual thick domain wall and in the hybrid brane scenarios. By means of suitable numerical methods, we attain the mass spectrum for the graviton and the corresponding wavefunctions. The spectra possess the usual linearly increasing behaviour from the Kaluza-Klein theories. Further, we show that the 4D gravitational force is slightly increased at short distances. The first eigenstate contributes highly for the correction to the Newton's law. The subsequent normalized solutions have diminishing contributions. Moreover, we find out that the phenomenology of the hybrid brane is not different from the usual thick domain wall. The use of numerical techniques for solving the equations of the massive modes is useful for matching possible phenomenological measurements in the gravitational law as a probe to warped extra dimensions.

description: Conditions for the emergence of a statistical relationship between $T_r$, the chaotic transport (recurrence) time, and $T_L$, the local Lyapunov time (the inverse of the numerically measured largest Lyapunov characteristic exponent), are considered for the motion inside the chaotic layer around the separatrix of a nonlinear resonance. When numerical values of the Lyapunov exponents are measured on a time interval not greater than $T_r$, the relationship is shown to resemble the quadratic one. This tentatively explains numerical results presented in the literature.

Redshift surveys in the WSU era

description: ALMA redshift surveys are one of its key science drivers, where the most efficient spectral windows for dusty star-forming galaxies use both the 2 and 3mm window, while z > 5 galaxies are often targeted in the bright ionized carbon and oxygen lines. Using a public tool, we show that the advent of the wideband sensitivity upgrade (WSU) will facilitate such redshift searches, increasing its efficiency by 2.5 times through the increase in bandwidth alone. Broadly, the bandwidth increase benefits the blind line and continuum detections to facilitate cosmic gas and star-formation rate estimates, while the added sensitivity promises to facilitate outflow, kinematic and inter-stellar medium studies in targeted surveys. We stress that both past and future ALMA development - and thus science - will benefit from appropriate referencing of the receivers that are used in studies.
