description: Numerical experiments of convection with grain-damage are used to develop scaling laws for convective heat flow, mantle velocity, and plate velocity across the stagnant lid and plate-tectonic regimes. Three main cases are presented in order of increasing complexity: a simple case wherein viscosity is only dependent on grainsize, a case where viscosity depends on temperature and grainsize, and finally a case where viscosity is temperature and grainsize sensitive, and the grain-growth (or healing) is also temperature sensitive. In all cases, convection with grain-damage scales differently than Newtonian convection due to the effects of grain-damage. For the fully realistic case, numerical results show stagnant lid convection, fully mobilized convection that resembles the temperature-independent viscosity case, and partially mobile or transitional convection, depending on damage to healing ratio, Rayleigh number, and the activation energies for viscosity and healing. Applying our scaling laws for the fully realistic case to Earth and Venus we demonstrate that increasing surface temperature dramatically decreases plate speed and heat flow, essentially shutting down plate tectonics, due to increased healing in lithospheric shear zones, as proposed previously. Contrary to many previous studies, the transitional regime between the stagnant lid and fully mobilized regimes is large, and the transition from stagnant lid to mobile convection is gradual and continuous. Thus planets could exhibit a full range of surface mobility, as opposed to the bimodal distribution of fully mobile lid planets and stagnant lid planets that is typically assumed.

description: Atmospheric parameters for hot DB (helium atmosphere) white dwarfs near effective temperatures of 25000K are extremely difficult to determine from optical spectroscopy. This is particularly unfortunate, because this is the range of variable DBV or V777 Her stars. Accurate atmospheric parameters are needed to help or confirm the asteroseismic analysis of these objects. Another important aspect is the new class of white dwarfs - the hot DQ - detected by Dufour et al. (2007), with spectra dominated by carbon lines. The analysis shows that their atmospheres are pure carbon. The origin of these stars is not yet understood, but they may have an evolutionary link with the hotter DBs as studied here. Our aim is to determine accurate atmospheric parameters and element abundances and study the implications for the evolution white dwarfs of spectral classes DB and hot DQ. High resolution UV spectra of five DBs are studied with model atmospheres. We determine stellar parameters and abundances or upper limits of C and Si. These objects are compared with cooler DBs below 20000K. We find photospheric C and no other heavy elements - with extremely high limits on the C/Si ratio - in two of the five hot DBs. We compare various explanations for this unusual composition, which have been proposed in the literature: accretion of interstellar or circumstellar matter, radiative levitation, carbon dredge-up from deeper interior below the helium layer, and a residual stellar wind. None of these explanations is completely satisfactory, and the problem of the origin of the hot DQ remains an open question.

description: In education, capacity development has been usually associated with the development of the human competence, the creation and strengthening of educational institutions. For planning and delivery of educational services. Education enables high skillfulness of human resource that enhances input maximization which brings unquantifiable benefits to individuals in the societies. Premised on the above. This study was carried out to investigate educational policies and Academe Staff Capacity Development in Federal Universities in Nigeria, with emphasis on University of Calabar and University of Uyo. To achieve the purpose of this study, two research questions were raised and converted to null hypotheses to guide the study. Related literature were reviewed. Expost facto research design was adopted for the study. Satisfied random sample technique research and sample size of 620 academic staff was used for the study. Educational Policies and Academic Staff Capacity Development Questionnaire (EPASCDQ) was used for Data collection, after being subjected to face validity and reliability coefficient ranged from 0.74 to 0.82. Data collected was analyzed using mean and percentages, a criterion mean of 2.5 was used as a decision rule to test the two null hypotheses. The findings revealed that in-service training and research grant significantly influence academic staff capacity development. The study recommended among others, that government and the management of institution of higher learning should make provision for on the job training and provide research grant to their employees to enable staff intellectual capacity for high productivity.

description: Grains configuration snapshots of Brazil-nut effect (BNE) in two-dimension are physically modeled using disk-formed objects, e.g., buttons and magnetic pin. These BNE configurations are artificially designed to mimic the real ones observed in experiments. A computer scanner is used to capture the configurations. Obtained images are then digitized using web browser running a HTML equipped with a JavaScript code, which is built mainly only for this work. From digitization process all grains positions (granular bed and intruder) are obtained, which is later analyzed using the simplest model, i.e., potential energy. Since the minimum energy principle (MEP) suggests that a closed system should go to its state with minimum internal energy, our BNE system must also obey it. Evolution of only the intruder seems to violate MEP but not for the whole system. Grains compaction plays important role, so that the system can achieve its configuration with minimum potential energy.

description: We present the results of a deep, wide-area variability survey in the Southern hemisphere, the first of its kind. As part of the Catalina Sky Surveys, the Siding Spring Survey (SSS) has covered $14,800$ square degrees in the declination range of $-75^{\circ}\leqδ\leq-15^{\circ}$. To mine the enormous SSS dataset efficiently we have developed two algorithms: Automatic Period Selection (APS) and Automatic Fourier Decomposition (AFD), which aim to sharpen the period estimation and produce robust lightcurve models. Armed with the APS and AFD outputs we classify $10,540$ ab-type RR Lyrae (RRab) stars ($\sim$90% of which are new) across the Southern sky. As well as the positional information we supply photometric metallicities, and unreddened distances. For the RRab stars in the halo, a study of the photometric metallicity distribution reveals a nearly Gaussian shape with a mean metallicity of ${\rm [Fe/H]}=-1.4$ dex and a dispersion of $0.3$ dex. A spatial study of the RRab metallicities shows no significant radial gradient in the first $\sim7$ kpc from the Galaxy center. However, further out, a small negative gradient is clearly present. This is complemented by a very obvious correlation of the mean RR Lyrae metallicity with distance above the Galactic plane, $z$. We have also carried out an initial substructure search using the discovered RRab, and present the properties of the candidates with significance greater than $2 σ$. Most prominent among these is a southern extension of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy's stream system, reaching down to declinations $\sim -40°$.

description: The sensitivity of blind gamma-ray pulsar searches in multiple years worth of photon data, as from the Fermi LAT, is primarily limited by the finite computational resources available. Addressing this "needle in a haystack" problem, we here present methods for optimizing blind searches to achieve the highest sensitivity at fixed computing cost. For both coherent and semicoherent methods, we consider their statistical properties and study their search sensitivity under computational constraints. The results validate a multistage strategy, where the first stage scans the entire parameter space using an efficient semicoherent method and promising candidates are then refined through a fully coherent analysis. We also find that for the first stage of a blind search incoherent harmonic summing of powers is not worthwhile at fixed computing cost for typical gamma-ray pulsars. Further enhancing sensitivity, we present efficiency-improved interpolation techniques for the semicoherent search stage. Via realistic simulations we demonstrate that overall these optimizations can significantly lower the minimum detectable pulsed fraction by almost 50% at the same computational expense.

description: The temperature dependence (10-290 K) of the low-frequency (20-150 cm-1) Raman-active phonon modes of supercooled confined water in L,L-diphenylalanine micro/nanotubes was analysed. The isolated dynamics of a specific geometry of water cluster (pentamer) in supercooled confined regime was studied in detail. A particular mode concerning water-nanotube interaction was also probed. A fragile-to-strong transition at 204 K was observed and related to the crossing of the Widom line. The critical exponent analyses of the relaxation rate data based on mode-coupling theory indicated perfect agreement among experimental data and theory. Our results are consistent with the existence of a second critical point of water.

description: A first-principles approach is demonstrated to calculate the relationship between aqueous semiconductor interface structure and energy level alignment. The physical interface structure is sampled using density functional theory based molecular dynamics, yielding the interface electrostatic dipole. The $GW$ approach is used to place the electronic band edge energies of the semiconductor relative to the occupied $1b_1$ energy level in water. Application to the specific cases of non-polar $(10\bar{1}0)$ facets of GaN and ZnO reveals a significant role for the structural motifs at the interface, including the degree of interface water dissociation and the dynamical fluctuations in the interface Zn-O and O-H bond orientations. These effects contribute up to 0.5 eV.

These challenges can be considered the XML Information Retrieval challenges as XML has become a de facto standard over the Web. The research on XML IR starts with the classical IR strategies customized to XML IR. Later novel IR strategies specific to XML IR are evolved. Meanwhile literatures reveal development of the rapid and intelligent IR systems. Despite their success in their specified constrained domains, they have additional limitations in the complex information space. The effectiveness of IR systems is thus unsolved in satisfying the most. This article attemptsan overview of earlier efforts and the gaps in XML IR.

description: We report on magneto-transport measurements up to 30 T performed on a bilayer graphene Hall bar, enclosed by two thin hexagonal boron nitride flakes. Our high mobility sample exhibits an insulating state at neutrality point which evolves into a metallic phase when a strong in-plane field is applied, as expected for a transition from a canted antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic spin ordered phase. For the first time we individuate a temperature-independent crossing in the four-terminal resistance as a function of the total magnetic field, corresponding to the critical point of the transition. We show that the critical field scales linearly with the perpendicular component of the field, as expected from the underlying competition between the Zeeman energy and interaction-induced anisotropies. A clear scaling of the resistance is also found and an universal behavior is proposed in the vicinity of the transition.

We reformulate and extend the definition of dilative stability introduced by Iglói (2008) using characteristic functions. We also generalize the concept of aggregate similarity introduced by Kaj (2005). It turns out that these two notions are essentially the same for infinitely divisible processes. Examples of dilatively stable generalized fractional Lévy processes are given and we point out that certain limit processes in aggregation models are dilatively stable.

description: It is shown that the causal structure associated to string-like solutions of the Fadeev-Niemi (FN) model is described by an effective metric. Remarkably, the surfaces characterising the causal replacement depend on the energy momentum tensor of the background soliton and carry implicitly a topological invariant $π_{3}(\mathbb{S}^2)$. As a consequence, it follows that the pre- image curves in $\mathbb{R}^3$ nontrivialy define directions where the cones remain unchanged. It turns out that these results may be of importance in understanding time dependent solutions (collisions/scatterings) numerically or analytically.

description: Dispersal is a key process mediating ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Its effects on the dynamics of spatially-structured systems, population genetics, or species range distribution can depend on phenotypic differences between dispersing and non-dispersing individuals. However, scaling up the importance of resident-disperser differences to communities and ecosystems has rarely been considered, in spite of intraspecific phenotypic variability being an important factor mediating community structure and productivity. Here, we used the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, in which phenotypic traits are known to differ between residents and dispersers, to test (i) whether these resident-disperser differences affect biomass and composition in competitive communities composed of four other Tetrahymena species, and (ii) whether these effects are genotype-dependent. We found that dispersers led to lower community biomass compared to residents. This effect was highly consistent across the twenty T. thermophila genotypes used, despite intraspecific variability in resident-disperser phenotypic differences. We also found a significant genotypic effect on biomass production, showing that intraspecific variability has consequences for communities. Our study suggests that individual dispersal strategy can scale up to community productivity in a predictable way, opening new perspectives to the functioning of spatially structured ecosystems.

description: Proposed in 1984, quantum key distribution (QKD) allows two users to exchange provably secure keys via a potentially insecure quantum channel. Since then, QKD has attracted much attention and significant progress has been made in both theory and practice. On the application front, however, the operating distance of practical fibre-based QKD systems is limited to about 150 km, which is mainly due to the high background noise produced by commonly used semiconductor single-photon detectors (SPDs) and the stringent demand on the minimum classical- post-processing (CPP) block size. Here, we present a compact and autonomous QKD system that is capable of distributing provably-secure cryptographic key over 307 km of ultra-low-loss optical fibre (51.9 dB loss). The system is based on a recently developed standard semiconductor (inGaAs) SPDs with record low background noise and a novel efficient finite-key security analysis for QKD. This demonstrates the feasibility of practical long-distance QKD based on standard fibre optic telecom components.

description: This paper focuses on the financing of investments in long-term assetsin the Commodity-MoneyCommodity (komoko) monetary system (KMS). TheKMS is a special, currently still theoretical version of mutualcredit, first introduced in the 2016 summer issue of the IJCCRjournal. In dealing with capital goods financial circulation isindispensable. However, financial circulation is prone to speculation,a practice not at all endorsed by CC (complementary and communitycurrencies) communities. Separation of the real and financialexchange circles introduced in the original KMS paper is a method bywhich community currencies can dispense with speculation and otherforms of potentially harmful financial circulation. Separation of thereal and financial exchange circles proposed by the original KMS paperis based on a rigid, rule-based barrier between the real economy -which produces new goods and services on one side, and the financialeconomy - which deals with the exchange of old durable and capitalgoods on the other. This separation method may, however, bepotentially either too cumbersome for businesses or too easy toevade. An improved method of separation of the exchange circles isproposed which basically eliminates the elements of the rule-basedbarrier and substitutes it with a new feature called inverse maturityof deposits. To implement inverse maturity of deposits, the KMSevolves from a plain ledger-based currency into a form that resemblesaccounts payables and accounts receivables. This new form of KMS whichtracks the maturity of credits (demand deposits) puts the KMS in starkcontrast to the existing fractional reserve banking which tracks thematurity of loans i.e. debits. The paper discloses how the KMS,featuring inverse maturity of deposits, dispenses with excessivefinancial circulation without impeding the real circulation and at thesame time supports the use, exchange and production of capitalgoods. This renders KMS a currency that can crowd out legal tender.

description: One-dimensional (1-D) microlens parallaxes can be combined with heliocentric lens-source relative proper motion measurements to derive the lens mass and distance, as suggested by Ghosh et al. (2004). Here I present the first mathematical anlysis of this procedure, which I show can be represented as a quadratic equation. Hence, it is formally subject to a two-fold degeneracy. I show that this degeneracy can be broken in many cases using the relatively crude 2-D parallax information that is often available for microlensing events. I also develop an explicit formula for the region of parameter space where it is more difficult to break this degeneracy. Although no mass/distance measurements have yet been made using this technique, it is likely to become quite common over the next decade.

description: The spin-dependent electron transport has been studied in magnetic semiconductor waveguides (nanowires) in the helical magnetic field. We have shown that -- apart from the known conductance dip located at the magnetic field equal to the helical-field amplitude $B_h$ -- the additional conductance dips (with zero conductance) appear at magnetic field different from $B_h$. This effect occuring in the non-adiabatic regime is explained as resulting from the resonant Landau-Zener transitions between the spin-splitted subbands.

description: Hierarchical analysis is considered and a multilevel model is presented in order to explore causality, chance and complexity in financial economics. A coupled system of models is used to describe multilevel interactions, consistent with market data: the lowest level is occupied by agents generating the prices of individual traded assets; the next level entails aggregation of stocks into markets; the third level combines shared risk factors with information variables and bottom-up, agent-generated structure, consistent with conditions for no-arbitrage pricing theory; the fourth level describes market factors which originate in the greater economy and the highest levels are described by regulated market structure and the customs and ethics which define the nature of acceptable transactions. A mechanism for emergence or innovation is considered and causal sources are discussed in terms of five causation classes.

description: Abstract
Wireless power transmission (WPT) has emerged as a compelling energy alternative set to extend its capabilities, enabling the wireless delivery of electricity to a micro unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). We propose the utilization of a contemporary circular polarized micro strip antenna (CPMA) configuration for the 5.8 GHz retina system. This paper investigates the low-cost beam forming network approach for antennas array applications at frequency 5.8 GHz. As a result, a reconfigurable planar antenna and a 4×4 Butler matrix are developed. The simulation analysis is performed by CST Microwave Studio and compared with ADS software. The beamforming network has an overall size of 84.74 mm * 76.56 mm. Furthermore, it exhibits a return loss of under -10 db. The Butler matrix demonstrates superior insertion loss characteristics, along with minimized phase shift deviations among its output ports. A prototype of the beamforming network has been successfully developed. Simulation results together with further comparisons will be presented in the paper. The Butler matrix features a lower insertion loss and a lower phase shift deviation. In the interconnection among the output ports. A beamforming network prototype has been implemented. The publication will give the simulation findings as well as other comparisons.
Vertex Lie algebras and cyclotomic coinvariants

description: Given a vertex Lie algebra $\mathscr L$ equipped with an action by automorphisms of a cyclic group $Γ$, we define spaces of cyclotomic coinvariants over the Riemann sphere. These are quotients of tensor products of smooth modules over `local' Lie algebras $\mathsf L(\mathscr L)_{z_i}$ assigned to marked points $z_i$, by the action of a `global' Lie algebra ${\mathsf L}^Γ_{\{z_i \}}(\mathscr L)$ of $Γ$-equivariant functions. On the other hand, the universal enveloping vertex algebra $\mathbb V (\mathscr L)$ of $\mathscr L$ is itself a vertex Lie algebra with an induced action of $Γ$. This gives `big' analogs of the Lie algebras above. From these we construct the space of `big' cyclotomic coinvariants, i.e. coinvariants with respect to ${\mathsf L}^Γ_{\{z_i \}}(\mathbb V(\mathscr L))$. We prove that these two definitions of cyclotomic coinvariants in fact coincide, provided the origin is included as a marked point. As a corollary we prove a result on the functoriality of cyclotomic coinvariants which we require for the solution of cyclotomic Gaudin models in arXiv:1409.6937. At the origin, which is fixed by $Γ$, one must assign a module over the stable subalgebra $\mathsf L(\mathscr L)^Γ$ of $\mathsf L(\mathscr L)$. This module becomes a $\mathbb V(\mathscr L)$-quasi-module in the sense of Li. As a bi-product we obtain an iterate formula for such quasi-modules.

description: We searched for the emission of microwave radiation in the Ku band generated by a 95 keV electron beam in air. We unequivocally detected the radiation, and measured its yield and angular dependence. Both the emitted power and its angular pattern are well described by a model, where microwave photons are generated via bremsstrahlung in the free-electron atomic-nucleus collisions, during the slowdown of the electrons. As a consequence, the radiation is not isotropic but peaked in the forward direction. The emission yield scales proportionally with the number of electrons. This contrasts a previous claim that the yield scales with the number squared, due to coherence. With a Monte Carlo simulation we extrapolate our results to the Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray energy range.

description: We revisit the problem of the existence of asymptotic massless boson fields in quantum field theory. The well-known construction of such fields by Buchholz [2], [4] is based on locality and the existence of vacuum vector, at least in regions spacelike to spacelike cones. Our analysis does not depend on these assumptions and supplies a more general framework for fields only very weakly decaying in spacelike directions. In this setting the existence of appropriate null asymptotes of fields is linked with their spectral properties in the neighborhood of the lightcone. The main technical tool is one of the results of a recent analysis by one of us [11], which allows application of the null asymptotic limit separately to creation/annihilation parts of a wide class of non-local fields. In vacuum representation the scheme allows application of the methods of the Haag-Ruelle theory closely analogous to those of the massive case. In local case this Haag-Ruelle procedure may be combined with the Buchholz method, which leads to significant simplification.
