description: Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are relevant in the context of quantum systems, particularly regarding their control when they are subjected to time-dependent external conditions. In this paper, we investigate the completion of a nonadiabatic evolution into a shortcut to adiabaticity for a quantum field confined within a one-dimensional cavity containing two movable mirrors. Expanding upon our prior research, we characterize the field's state using two Moore functions that enables us to apply reverse engineering techniques in constructing the STA. Regardless of the initial evolution, we achieve a smooth extension of the Moore functions that implements the STA. This extension facilitates the computation of the mirrors' trajectories based on the aforementioned functions. Additionally, we draw attention to the existence of a comparable problem within nonrelativistic quantum mechanics.

description: This is a final report on findings from the project Domestic Violence Perpetrator Programmes and Neurodiversity. This project is the first international study to explore the experiences and perspectives of domestic abuse practitioners who work with autistic and/or ADHD men who do not have learning disabilities. This study focuses on obtaining practitioners’ perspectives and experiences of working with this cohort, the challenges faced, the individual strengths they bring, and the adaptations necessary to make perpetrator programmes and interventions more responsive to neurodivergent men and provide safety to victim-survivors. Policy, research and practice recommendations are included.
description: This research was carried out across three stages of data collection: 1. a systematic international literature search to identify studies that reported on the experiences, challenges, needs, and outcomes of ADHD and/or autistic men attending a DVPP/MBCP; 2. an online survey for program providers in the UK and Australia to identify the availability of services adapted to work with this cohort; and 3. semi-structured interviews with international experts, practitioners and organisation representatives working in the field of domestic abuse, including consultancy services and organisations focused on stalking in the context of domestic abuse.

description: To support N-1 pre-fault transient stability assessment, this paper introduces a new data collection method in a data-driven algorithm incorporating the knowledge of power system dynamics. The domain knowledge on how the disturbance effect will propagate from the fault location to the rest of the network is leveraged to recognise the dominant conditions that determine the stability of a system. Accordingly, we introduce a new concept called Fault-Affected Area, which provides crucial information regarding the unstable region of operation. This information is embedded in an augmented dataset to train an ensemble model using an instance transfer learning framework. The test results on the IEEE 39-bus system verify that this model can accurately predict the stability of previously unseen operational scenarios while reducing the risk of false prediction of unstable instances compared to standard approaches.

description: We describe the structural and kinematic properties of the first compact stellar systems discovered by the AIMSS project. These spectroscopically confirmed objects have sizes (∼6 < Re [pc] < 500) and masses (∼2×106 < M∗/M < 6×109 ) spanning the range of massive globular clusters (GCs), ultra compact dwarfs (UCDs) and compact elliptical galaxies (cEs), completely filling the gap between star clusters and galaxies. Several objects are close analogues to the prototypical cE, M32. These objects, which are more massive than previously discovered UCDs of the same size, further call into question the existence of a tight mass–size trend for compact stellar systems, while simultaneously strengthening the case for a universal “zone of avoidance” for dynamically hot stellar systems in the mass–size plane. Overall, we argue that there are two classes of compact stellar systems: 1) massive star clusters and 2) a population closely related to galaxies. Our data provide indications for a further division of the galaxy-type UCD/cE population into two groups, one population that we associate with objects formed by the stripping of nucleated dwarf galaxies, and a second population that formed through the stripping of bulged galaxies or are lower-mass analogues of classical ellipticals. We find compact stellar systems around galaxies in low to high density environments, demonstrating that the physical processes responsible for forming them do not only operate in the densest clusters.

description: Ionic liquids provide versatile pathways for controlling the structures and properties of quantum materials. Previous studies have reported electrostatic gating of nanometre-thick flakes leading to emergent superconductivity, insertion or extraction of protons and oxygen ions in perovskite oxide films enabling the control of different phases and material properties, and intercalation of large-sized organic cations into layered crystals giving access to tailored superconductivity. Here, we report an ionic-liquid gating method to form three-dimensional transition metal monochalcogenides (TMMCs) by driving the metals dissolved from layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) into the van der Waals gap. We demonstrate the successful self-intercalation of PdTe$_2$ and NiTe$_2$, turning them into high-quality PdTe and NiTe single crystals, respectively. Moreover, the monochalcogenides exhibit distinctive properties from dichalcogenides. For instance, the self-intercalation of PdTe$_2$ leads to the emergence of superconductivity in PdTe. Our work provides a synthesis pathway for TMMCs by means of ionic liquid gating driven self-intercalation.

description: Specificity tests showing that there is no link between micro and macroevolution if the effective population size is artificially smaller or larger than the size estimated from A. clarkii data. In the table, “Yes” means that we cannot reject the hypothesis that microevolutionary simulations predict empirical macroevolutionary rates (P>0.05) and “No” means that microevolutionary simulations do not predict a link between micro and macroevolution (P<0.05). Rates of evolution (r) and P-values are the result of 1,000 simulations. Using the empirically estimated population size macroevolutioanry rates are predicted in all simulations. Simulations run with artificially smaller or larger populations size did not predict macroevolutionary rates.

description: This paper presents a novel neural implicit radiance representation for free viewpoint relighting from a small set of unstructured photographs of an object lit by a moving point light source different from the view position. We express the shape as a signed distance function modeled by a multi layer perceptron. In contrast to prior relightable implicit neural representations, we do not disentangle the different reflectance components, but model both the local and global reflectance at each point by a second multi layer perceptron that, in addition, to density features, the current position, the normal (from the signed distace function), view direction, and light position, also takes shadow and highlight hints to aid the network in modeling the corresponding high frequency light transport effects. These hints are provided as a suggestion, and we leave it up to the network to decide how to incorporate these in the final relit result. We demonstrate and validate our neural implicit representation on synthetic and real scenes exhibiting a wide variety of shapes, material properties, and global illumination light transport.

description: We investigate the time evolution of lead changes within individual games of competitive team sports. Exploiting ideas from the theory of random walks, the number of lead changes within a single game follows a Gaussian distribution. We show that the probability that the last lead change and the time of the largest lead size are governed by the same arcsine law, a bimodal distribution that diverges at the start and at the end of the game. We also determine the probability that a given lead is "safe" as a function of its size $L$ and game time $t$. Our predictions generally agree with comprehensive data on more than 1.25 million scoring events in roughly 40,000 games across four professional or semi-professional team sports, and are more accurate than popular heuristics currently used in sports analytics.

description: Description of the five morphological traits used in the study. Each trait is described according to the landmarks on the picture. Body ratio: The body ratio was calculated by dividing the standard length (distance between the snout (1) and the base of the tail, which is exactly between (8) and (9)) by the body depth (segment between the base of the pelvic fin (11) and the base of the spinous dorsal fin (6)). Head ratio: The head ratio represents the standard length divided by the head length (distance between the snout (1) and the origin of the opercular (12)). Peduncle factor: The peduncle depth factor was calculated by dividing the body depth by the caudal peduncle depth (distance between the posterior end of the dorsal fin base (7) and the posterior end of the anal fin base (10)). Eye height ratio: The eye height ratio is the ratio between the body depth and the eye height, which is the distance between the center of the eye (center of gravity of (2, 3, 4, 5)) and the point where the line parallel to the body depth (passing through the center of the eye) meets the line parallel to the standard length (passing through (11)). Snout angle: The snout angle is the angle calculated between the standard length and the line that passes through the snout tip (1) and the base of the spinous dorsal fin (6)).

description: Product logic is one of the main fuzzy logics arising from a continuous t-norm, and its equivalent algebraic semantics is the variety of product algebras. In this contribution, we study maximal filters of product algebras, and their relation with product hoops. The latter constitute the variety of 0-free subreducts of product algebras. Given any product hoop, we construct a product algebra of which the product hoop is (isomorphic to) a maximal filter. This entails that product hoops coincide exactly with the maximal filters of product algebras, seen as residuated lattices. In this sense, we characterize the equational theory of maximal filters of product algebras.

description: Transport properties of a gated nanostructure depend crucially on the coupling of its states to the states of electrodes. In the case of a single quantum dot the coupling, for a given quantum state, is constant or can be slightly modified by additional gating. In this paper we consider a concentric dot-ring nanostructure (DRN) and show that its transport properties can be drastically modified due to the unique geometry. We calculate the dc current through a DRN in the Coulomb blockade regime and show that it can efficiently work as a single electron transistor or a current rectifier. In both cases the transport characteristics strongly depends on the details of the confinement potential. The calculations are carried out for low and high bias regime, the latter being especially interesting in the context of current rectification due to fast relaxation processes.

description: Rates of morphological evolution at interspecific level can be estimated from simulations based on intraspecific parameters. The table displays the results of the analysis of trait macroevolution based on empirical data (left) and on the traits simulated under intraspecific parameters (right). AICc and model parameters were summarized across 1,000 trees (median and 95% confidence intervals provided in brackets). For both empirical and simulated traits, we fitted BM and OU models using maximum likelihood and compared their fit using AICc. We provide the percentage of the 1,000 trees supporting each model according to the AICc (the best fitting model is bolded). The estimated model parameters are: the rate of evolution (σ2, noted rmacro in the main text) and the strength of the OU process (α). The same best fitting model was retrieved from simulations for all traits except for eye height, i.e. in this trait BM and OU models were equally likely. We computed the probability (P) that simulations correctly predict the macroevolutionary rate, e.g. how many simulations provided a rate of evolution falling in the 95% confidence interval of empirical rate values. For more consistency, traits values were standardized: we computed the difference between each value and the mean value of the trait. This difference was then divided by the standard deviation of the trait values.
title: Supplementary Files for: Quantifying the Impact of Rain-On-Snow Induced Flooding in the Western United States
Creators: name: Watts, Emma
name: Bean, Brennan
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2024

description: Serious flooding can happen when rain falls on snow, which we call a rain-on-snow (ROS) event. Increasing our understanding of the behavior of floods resulting from ROS events can help us design better systems to manage flood water and prevent it from causing damage. This thesis explores how ROS events affect streamflow in the Western United States by examining the weather conditions that precede a streamflow surge. We classify stream surges as ROS or non-ROS induced based on these weather conditions, which helps us separate floods caused by ROS events from those caused by other factors. By comparing these different types of floods, we find that ROS induced floods are generally 3-20\% larger than other floods. Engineers can use these findings and data to conservatively adjust drainage system designs, like culverts, to better handle the increased water flow during ROS events. This will reduce potential damage and make our road and building structures better able to handle extreme flooding.

description: Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite infecting almost all warm-blooded animals and 30% of the world’s
 human population. Among domesticated animals, small ruminants and swine are the most often
 infected species. Most severe consequences arise during early pregnancy and transplacental
 transmission to the fetus, causing conspicuous loss for breeders. Recognizing early transcriptional
 signatures of infection might be interesting not only for veterinary but also for human medicine.
 Most of investigations were reported in mice following in vitro infection while poor results are
 available about other species, naturally infected by the parasite [1]. Aim of this study was to
 compare the expression profile of MEK3 and NOD2 proteins, involved in the immune response to
 the parasite, among naturally infected and uninfected animals (control) of various species. Tissues
 were collected post mortem from 11 horses, 10 sheep, 15 pigs. Infection was assessed by
 immunoenzymatic assay. MEK3 and NOD2 mRNAs were evaluated by Real-time PCR in the
 encephalic trunk and diaphragm. Results were processed by ΔΔCt method and expressed as fold
 change among the target mRNAs, normalized to β-actin. Performed analysis revealed an increase of
 MEK3 mRNA in muscular and encephalic tissues and of NOD2 mRNA in brainstem of both infected
 sheep and swine. Moreover, a comparative analysis among healthy animals of afore mentioned
 species revealed higher Nod2 mRNA levels in brainstem of equine compared to sheep and pigs. Both
 proteins are involved in key molecular mechanisms of immune responses, such as apoptosis
 regulation, therefore, detected variations among infected and uninfected susceptible animals
 (MEK3, NOD2) as well as higher physiological amount of NOD2 mRNA in brainstem of less
 susceptible species compared to more susceptible ones might provide interesting insights into the
 immune response to T. gondii-related transcriptome of intermediate hosts.

description: We report Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph observations of the Ly$α$ emission and interstellar absorption lines in a sample of ten star-forming galaxies at $z\sim0.2$. Selected on the basis of high equivalent width optical emission lines, the sample, dubbed "Green Peas," make some of the best analogs for young galaxies in an early Universe. We detect Ly$α$ emission in all ten galaxies, and 9/10 show double-peaked line profiles suggestive of low HI column density. We measure Ly$α$/H$α$ flux ratios of 0.5-5.6, implying that 5% to 60% of Ly$α$ photons escape the galaxies. These data confirm previous findings that low-ionization metal absorption (LIS) lines are weaker when Ly$α$ escape fraction and equivalent width are higher. However, contrary to previously favored interpretations of this trend, increased Ly$α$ output cannot be the result of varying HI covering: the Lyman absorption lines (Ly$β$ and higher) show a covering fraction near unity for gas with $N_{HI} \gtrsim 10^{16}$ cm$^{-2}$. Moreover, we detect no correlation between Ly$α$ escape and the outflow velocity of the LIS lines, suggesting that kinematic effects do not explain the range of Ly$α$/H$α$ flux ratios in these galaxies. In contrast, we detect a strong anti-correlation between the Ly$α$ escape fraction and the velocity separation of the Ly$α$ emission peaks, driven primarily by the velocity of the blue peak. As this velocity separation is sensitive to HI column density, we conclude that Ly$α$ escape in these Green Peas is likely regulated by the HI column density rather than outflow velocity or HI covering fraction.

description: The use of mobile applications is now so common that users now expect companies whose services which they consume already have an application to provide these services or a mobile version of your site, but this is not always simple to do or cheap. Thus, the hybrid development has emerged as a potential alternative to this need. The evolution of this new paradigm has taken the attention of researchers and companies as viable alternative to the mobile development. This paper shows how hybrid development can be an alternative for companies provide their services with a low investment and still offer a great service to their clients.

A search for star formation in the Smith Cloud

description: Motivated by the idea that a subset of HVCs trace dark matter substructure in the Local Group, we search for signs of star formation in the Smith Cloud, a nearby ~2x10^6 Msun HVC currently falling into the Milky Way. Using GALEX NUV and WISE/2MASS NIR photometry, we apply a series of color and apparent magnitude cuts to isolate candidate O and B stars that are plausibly associated with the Smith Cloud. We find an excess of stars along the line of sight to the cloud, but not at a statistically significant level relative to a control region. The number of stars found in projection on the cloud after removing an estimate of the contamination by the Milky Way implies an average star formation rate surface density of 10^(-4.8 +/- 0.3) Msun yr^(-1) kpc^(-2), assuming the cloud has been forming stars at a constant rate since its first passage through the Milky Way ~70 Myr ago. This value is consistent with the star formation rate expected based on the average gas density of the cloud. We also discuss how the newly discovered star forming galaxy Leo P has very similar properties to the Smith Cloud, but its young stellar population would not have been detected at a statistically significant level using our method. Thus, we cannot yet rule out the idea that the Smith Cloud is really a dwarf galaxy.

Toxoplasma gondii in raw milk from Sicily

description: Toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites shed in milk of infected animals are a potential source of human infection often underestimated. Furthermore, limited risk assessment studies have been carried out to evaluate the transmission of toxoplasmosis by milk consumption. In this frame the availability of few and often not validated analytical methods can be a major shortcoming when investigating the extent of milk contamination and the parasite viability. To address the issue, 1381 samples of raw milk from unknown sero-status cows, donkeys, sheep and goats were examined for the detection of T. gondii DNA by a real time PCR method targeting the 529bp repeating element. The protozoan DNA was detected in 67 samples of cow’s milk (4,93% and 35% individual and herd prevalence respectively) and in one sample of donkey milk. Allegedly, on farm cats cohabitation as well as extensive management in the cattle farms that tested positive, can be accounted for environmental loading and transmission of T. gondii oocysts that are the unique sources of infection for milk-producing animals. Food safety-wise, results are noteworthy since recently raw cow’s milk consumption has become increasingly popular with the spread of automatic raw milk vending machines. Albeit heating treatment before consumption is mandatory for consumers, neglect of this requirement cannot be ruled out and could lead the way for foodborne infection. This is particularly true in view of evidences that T. gondii tachyzoites in experimentally spiked cow’s milk samples could be able to survive in gastric fluids for long enough (1 h) before reaching the intestine and infect the host.

description: Symbiotic interactions between microbes and their multicellular hosts have manifold impacts on molecular, cellular and organismal biology. To identify candidate bacterial genes involved in maintaining endosymbiotic associations with insect hosts, we analyzed genome-wide patterns of gene expression in the alpha-proteobacteria Wolbachia pipientis across the life cycle of Drosophila melanogaster using public data from the modENCODE project that was generated in a Wolbachia-infected version of the ISO1 reference strain. We find that the majority of Wolbachia genes are expressed at detectable levels in D. melanogaster across the entire life cycle, but that only 7.8% of 1195 Wolbachia genes exhibit robust stage- or sex-specific expression differences when studied in the "holo-organism" context. Wolbachia genes that are differentially expressed during development are typically up-regulated after D. melanogaster embryogenesis, and include many bacterial membrane, secretion system and ankyrin-repeat containing proteins. Sex-biased genes are often organised as small operons of uncharacterised genes and are mainly up-regulated in adult males D. melanogaster in an age-dependent manner suggesting a potential role in cytoplasmic incompatibility. Our results indicate that large changes in Wolbachia gene expression across the Drosophila life-cycle are relatively rare when assayed across all host tissues, but that candidate genes to understand host-microbe interaction in facultative endosymbionts can be successfully identified using holo-organism expression profiling. Our work also shows that mining public gene expression data in D. melanogaster provides a rich set of resources to probe the functional basis of the Wolbachia-Drosophila symbiosis and annotate the transcriptional outputs of the Wolbachia genome.

description: The young (~16 Myr) pre-main-sequence star in Sco-Cen 1SWASP J140747.93-394542.6, hereafter referred to as J1407, underwent a deep eclipse in 2007 April, bracketed by several shallower eclipses in the surrounding 54 d. This has been interpreted as the first detection of an eclipsing ring system circling a substellar object (dubbed J1407b). We report on a search for this companion with Sparse Aperture Mask imaging and direct imaging with both the UT4 VLT and Keck telescopes. Radial velocity measurements of J1407 provide additional constraints on J1407b and on short period companions to the central star. Follow-up photometric monitoring using the PROMPT-4 and ROAD observatories during 2012-2014 has not yielded any additional eclipses. Large regions of mass-period space are ruled out for the companion. For circular orbits the companion period is constrained to the range 3.5-13.8 yr (a ~ 2.2-5.6 au), and masses greater than 80 M_Jup are ruled out at 3 sigma significance over these periods. The complex ring system appears to occupy more than 0.15 of its Hill radius, much larger than its Roche radius and suggesting a ring structure in transition. Further, we demonstrate that the radial velocity of J1407 is consistent with membership in the Upper Cen-Lup subgroup of the Sco-Cen association, and constraints on the rotation period and projected rotational velocity of J1407 are consistent with a stellar inclination of 68+-10 degrees.

description: Weakly Interactive Massive Particles (WIMPs) are the most widely studied candidate particles forming the cold dark matter (CDM) whose existence can be inferred from a wealth of astrophysical and cosmological observations. In the framework of the minimal cosmological model detailed measurements on the cosmic microwave background by the PLANCK collaboration fix the scaled CDM relic density to $Ω_{c}h^2=0.1193\pm0.0014$, with an error of less than 1.5%. In order to fully exploit this observational precision, theoretical calculations should have a comparable or smaller error. In this paper we use recent lattice QCD calculations to improve the description of the thermal plasma. This affects the predicted relic density of "thermal WIMPs", which once were in chemical equilibrium with Standard Model particles. For WIMP masses between 3 and 15 GeV, where QCD effects are most important, our predictions differ from earlier results by up to 9% (12%) for pure S-wave (P-wave) annihilation. We use these results to compute the thermally averaged WIMP annihilation cross section that reproduces the correct CDM relic density, for WIMP masses between 0.1 GeV and 10 TeV.
