description: We present results from X-ray and radio observations of the recently discovered young Vela-like pulsar PSR J2021+3651, which is coincident with the EGRET gamma-ray source GeV 2020+3658. A 19.0-ks Chandra ACIS-S observation has revealed a ~20'' x 10'' pulsar wind nebula that is reminiscent of the equatorial tori seen around some young pulsars, along with thermal emission from an embedded point source (kT = 0.15 +/- 0.02 keV). We name the nebula G75.2+0.1. Its spectrum is well fit by an absorbed power-law model with photon index 1.7 +/- 0.3, hydrogen column density nH = 7.8 +/- 1.7 x 10^21 cm^-2, and an unabsorbed 0.3-10.0 keV flux of 1.9 +/- 0.3 x 10^-12 erg cm^-2 s^-1. We have spatially fit G75.2+0.1 with a model that assumes a toroidal morphology, and from this we infer that the torus is highly inclined 83 deg +/- 1 deg to the line of sight. A 20.8-ks Chandra observation in continuous-clocking mode reveals a possible pulse detection, with a pulsed fraction of ~37% and an H-test probability of occuring by chance of 1.2 x 10^-4. Timing observations with the Arecibo radio telescope spanning two years show that PSR J2021+3651 glitched sometime between MJDs 52616 and 52645 with parameters delta(v)/v = (2.587 +/- 0.002) x 10^-6 and delta(dot(v))/v = (6.2 +/- 0.3) x 10^-3, similar to those of the largest glitches observed in the Vela pulsar. PSR J2021+3651 is heavily scattered (T_sc = 17.7 ms +/- 0.9 ms at 1 GHz) and exhibits a significant amount of timing noise.

description: Topological flat bands have gained extensive interest as a platform for exploring the interplay between nontrivial band topology and correlation effects. In recent studies, strongly correlated phenomena originating from a topological flat band were discussed on a periodically 1/6-depleted honeycomb lattice, but the fundamental topological nature associated with this lattice structure remains unexplored. Here we study the band structure and topological phase diagram for the Haldane model on this lattice, which we call the Bishamon-kikko lattice. We also extend our study to the model connecting the Bishamon-kikko and honeycomb lattices. We show that these models exhibit richer topological characteristics compared to the original Haldane model on the honeycomb lattice, such as topological insulating states with higher Chern numbers, metallic states with nontrivial band topology even at commensurate electron fillings, and metal-insulator transitions between them.7 Our findings offer a playground of correlated topological phenomena and stimulate their realization in a variety of two-dimensional systems, such as van der Waals materials, graphene nanostructures, and photonic crystals.

description: In this paper, novel chiral calamitic compounds, consisting of n-dodecyloxyphenyl substituted pyridine carboxylate core linked to one or two benzene rings through ester linkers have been synthesised by multi-step procedures. The other end has been varied by introducing a flexible (S)-2-methylbutyloxy or (S)-3,7-dimethyloctyloxy chiral chain. The liquid crystal properties of new compounds were investigated by various experimental techniques such as DSC, POM and SAXS. The pyridine-based calamitic compounds exhibited enantiotropic chiral smectic mesophases such as SmC*, SmA or uncharacteristic mesophase depending on hetero aromatic rings such as nicotinate or picolinate cores, number of aromatic rings and the type of chiral-branched chain.

description: Navigation in natural outdoor environments requires a robust and reliable traversability classification method to handle the plethora of situations a robot can encounter. Binary classification algorithms perform well in their native domain but tend to provide overconfident predictions when presented with out-of-distribution samples, which can lead to catastrophic failure when navigating unknown environments. We propose to overcome this issue by using anomaly detection on multi-modal images for traversability classification, which is easily scalable by training in a self-supervised fashion from robot experience. In this work, we evaluate multiple anomaly detection methods with a combination of uni- and multi-modal images in their performance on data from different environmental conditions. Our results show that an approach using a feature extractor and normalizing flow with an input of RGB, depth and surface normals performs best. It achieves over 95% area under the ROC curve and is robust to out-of-distribution samples.

description: This study determined which knowledge sharing and learning (KSL) intervention best fits agriculture and non-agriculture students in the Philippines, and documented each of the student groups' commitments to be intermediaries to farmers. Six months after the data had been gathered through survey method, the research team documented which KSL intervention each student group shared to others. The study also determined whether the students’ expressions of commitment had been concretized into action. Samples were randomly selected from higher education institutions in the Philippines, namely, Central Mindanao University in Bukidnon, Central Bicol State University of Agriculture in Camarines Sur, Father Saturnino Urios University in Agusan del Norte, and Camiguin Polytechnic State College. A total of 44 agriculture students and 59 non-agriculture students were compared. The study found that agriculture students involved themselves using their technical knowledge of information and communications technology (ICT)-based tools, whereas the other group of students employed nontechnical and practical ways to help their communities—specifically by encouraging people to save rice. Agriculture students reached more farmers than the non-agriculture students did. The results of this study could guide policymakers in developing policies that would enhance students’ involvement in agriculture.

 Oliarus kampaspe Kirkaldy, 1906: 398.
 Type material Syntype, ♂ (examined), AUSTRALIA, Qld: Kuranda, viii.1904 (BPBM).
 Remarks
The abdomen of the syntype is missing, but the data label bears a male symbol. We have therefore presumed that specimen is a male.
 Colour
Body mid brown, carinae paler except for some carinae on mesonotum; legs light brown to mid brown; forewing hyaline white, with brown marks along crossveins, veins light brown, apically darker, tubercles indistinct, concolorous with veins, pterostigma light to mid brown.
 Morphology
Body length: ♂ 5.5 mm.
Head: Vertex (total length) 1.7 times longer than wide; basal emargination obtusely angled. Postclypeus with evanescent to well­developed carinae. Rostrum not reaching hind coxae.
Thorax: Hind margin of pronotum obtusely angled. Mesonotum with evanescent carinae. Forewing 3.1 times longer than wide; costa with 2 tubercles; 9 apical cells.
Male genitalia: Unknown (only known specimen is lacking its abdomen).
 Remarks
 The narrow vertex and the chaetotaxy of the hind leg (2 lateral spines on the tibia and 5 apical teeth on the 2 nd tarsomere) verify the placement within the genus Oliarus sensu E meljanov. The presence of 8 apical teeth on the 1 st tarsomere, however, is unusual within the genus; this feature is only shared with O. phelia. See comments in remarks section of O. phelia.
 Jacobi (1928) presents a redescription of O. kampaspe Kirkaldy based on specimens from the Kimberley district. One male and two females of this material (located in the NHRS and MTD) were available to us for examination. They showed 4 lateral spines on the hind tibia and 7 apical teeth on the 1 st and 2 nd tarsomere, which indicates that these specimens belong to Ozoliarus Löcker and not to Oliarus sensu stricto which is characterised by the presence of 2 lateral spines on the hind tibia and five apical teeth of the 2 nd hind tarsomere. Jacobi’s species therefore cannot be O. kampaspe and is recognised here as a new species, Ozoliarus poculum.

description: The recent discovery of a narrow resonance in the decay $J/ψ\to γp \bar{p}$ is described as a zero baryon number, ``deuteron-like singlet ${}^1S_0 $'' state. The difference in binding energy of the deuteron (-2.225 MeV) and of the new state (-17.5 MeV) can be accounted for in a simple potential model with a $λ\cdot λ$ confining interaction.

description: Thermodynamics is usually developed starting from entropy and the maximum entropy principle. We investigate here to what extent one can replace entropy with relative entropy which has several advantages, for example in the context of local quantum field theory. We find that the principle of maximum entropy can be replaced by a principle of minimum expected relative entropy. Various ensembles and their thermodynamic potentials can be defined through relative entropy. We also show that thermal fluctuations are in fact governed by a relative entropy. Furthermore we reformulate the third law of thermodynamics using relative entropy only.

 Type material
 Syntypes, AUSTRALIA, Qld: 2 ♀ (examined), Kuranda, viii.1904 (BPBM); 1 ♀ (examined), Nelson, vii.1904 (BPBM).
 Colour
Head light brown or mid brown with light brown carinae; pronotum light brown; mesonotum mid brown, paler between lateral and sublateral carinae; legs light brown; forewing hyaline colourless with brown marks along crossveins, veins light brown, apically darker, tubercles indistinct, concolorous with veins, pterostigma mid brown; abdominal sternites mid brown..
 Morphology
Body length: ♀ 6.2–6.3 mm.
Head: Vertex (total length) 1.5–1.7 times longer than wide; basal emargination obtusely angled. Postclypeus with well­developed median carina. Rostrum not reaching hind coxae.
Thorax: Hind margin of pronotum obtusely angled. Mesonotum with evanescent or well­developed carinae. Forewing 3.1 times longer than wide; costa without tubercles; 8 apical cells.
Male genitalia: Unknown (only known specimens are females).
 Remarks
 The narrow vertex and the presence of 2 lateral spines on the hind tibia verify the placement within the genus Oliarus sensu Emeljanov. The apical chaetotaxy on the hind leg (7 on tibia, 8–9 on 1 st tarsomere and 5–6 on 2 nd tarsomere), however, is uncommon within this genus.
 Examination of the type series (3 females) of O. phelia showed that two females key to O. phelia in the identification keys provided by Kirkaldy (1906, 1907), whereas one female keys to O. kampaspe, based on the character “axillary vein of clavus running into anal vein basal of the middle of the latter.” The original descriptions do not give any characters that allow those species to be distinguished. All the characters coded for our study show identical character states for both species. Moreover, 7 large apical teeth were recorded on the specimens of O. phelia and on one leg of the only specimen of O. kampaspe (all other Australian Pentastirini have 5–6 large apical teeth on the hind tibia). A chaetotaxy of 8 (rarely 9) apical teeth on the 1 st tarsomere is also unusual within the genus Oliarus. The syntype of O. kampaspe was collected at the same collecting event as two specimens of O. phelia. All this suggests that these specimens belong to one species. However, in the absence of male genitalia to confirm these assumptions, both species are regarded as nomina dubia.

description: A non-linear, time-dependent, magnetically driven dynamo theory which shows how magnetically dominated configurations can relax to become helical on the largest scale available is presented. Coupled time-dependent differential equations for large scale magnetic helicity, small scale magnetic helicity, velocity, and the electromotive force are solved. The magnetic helicity on small scales relaxes to drive significant large scale helical field growth on dynamical (Alfvén crossing) time scales, independent of the magnitude of finite microphysical transport coefficients, after which the growing kinetic helicity slows the growth to a viscously limited pace. This magnetically driven dynamo complements the nonlinear kinetic helicity driven dynamo; for the latter, the growing magnetic helicity fluctuations suppress, rather than drive, large scale magnetic helicity growth. A unified set of equations accommodates both types of dynamos.

description: The mechanisms by which modularity emerges in complex networks are not well understood but recent reports have suggested that modularity may arise from evolutionary selection. We show that finding the modularity of a network is analogous to finding the ground-state energy of a spin system. Moreover, we demonstrate that, due to fluctuations, stochastic network models give rise to modular networks. Specifically, we show both numerically and analytically that random graphs and scale-free networks have modularity. We argue that this fact must be taken into consideration to define statistically-significant modularity in complex networks.

description: We give a general procedure for constructing an extended phase space for Yang-Mills theory at null infinity, capable of handling the asymptotic symmetries and construction of charges responsible for sub$^n$-leading soft theorems at all orders. The procedure is coordinate and gauge-choice independent, and can be fed into the calculation of both tree and loop-level soft limits. We find a hierarchy in the extended phase space controlled by the Bernoulli numbers arising in Todd genus computations. We give an explicit example of a calculation at tree level, in radial gauge, where we also uncover recursion relations at all orders for the equations of motion and charges.

Colectica Portal vNext: Addressing new data discovery challenges
Creators: name: Smith, Dan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: A data portal designed to present managed research data has many tasks including making the data discoverability, documenting the research data management process, data access policies, standardized metadata, data linkages, longitudinal data support, programmatic access to the data and metadata, and integrating the data with existing systems. Colectica Portal has always solely focused on providing standardized metadata and metadata discovery, while many other tasks were left to other systems. This sole focus on metadata created challenges integrating rich DDI-Lifecycle information stored in the Portal with other applications that do not support the standard. This presentation will describe how the Colectica vNext project addresses these challenges in two distinct ways. One aspect of the vNext project is to present an integrated view of metadata and data. While the Colectica Portal historically presented DDI metadata in a metadata centric fashion, the vNext project creates focus areas centered around surveys, research datasets, and study documentation. This allows users a familiar and user friendly view laid on top of the more advanced metadata descriptions. The second aspect is a focus on data discovery. The Portal vNext project supports a new programmatic API for both metadata and data search, allowing easier integration with existing systems.

description: The economic development of nations, particularly those in the process of development, is intricately linked to the dynamism exhibited by private sector enterprises. Family businesses (FBs) constitute a significant segment within this realm, holding a prominent position in the European, American, and Asian economic landscapes (Neubauer and Lank, 1998). In regions like Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, FBs carve out a staggering 95% share of the economic terrain (Gupta et al., 2009). Notably, various studies underscore the exceptional success of FBs when compared to other enterprise models (Villalonga and Amit, 2004; Allouche and Aman, 1995; Kargougou, 2020; Habbershon and Williams, 1999).

The concept of firm performance, as elucidated by Morin et al. (1994), is a nuanced construct encompassing social, economic, political, and systemic dimensions. Despite this multifaceted nature, a consensus is yet to be reached regarding the selection of performance indicators (Tsambou and Kamga, 2016). This lack of consensus poses a challenge to accurately assessing and comparing the performance of different enterprises. To measure economic and financial performance, diverse indicators such as revenue growth (Gauzente, 2011), value added, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, earnings before interest and taxes, net operating income, and net profit (Nawang, 2009) have been proposed.

This study seeks to contribute to the ongoing discourse on firm performance, particularly within the context of family businesses. By examining the multidimensional nature of firm performance, encompassing social, economic, political, and systemic facets, the research aims to shed light on the factors influencing the success of FBs. Through a comprehensive analysis of various performance indicators, the study endeavors to identify the most relevant metrics for assessing the economic and financial health of family businesses. The research methodology involves an in-depth literature review, data collection from a diverse range of family businesses, and statistical analysis to discern patterns and correlations.

description: A central and ongoing priority of the Roper Center for Public Opinion Research is the development and enhancement of state-of-the-art online retrieval systems that promote the discovery and reuse of public opinion data. It has become clear that foundational changes to the way the Center produces and manages its descriptive metadata throughout the data lifecycle would provide new and more efficient avenues for web application and tool development. In a collaborative effort to solidify the connection between cataloging and retrieval system development goals, the Center is developing a knowledge base system for managing and facilitating access to our vast collection of public opinion datasets. This presentation will provide an overview of the networked system of thesauri and controlled vocabularies that the Center is implementing to create the knowledge base as well as describe the automated classification process the team has developed using machine-learning techniques to repurpose existing metadata and enhance process integration throughout the metadata production workflow.

Curvatons in the minimally supersymmetric standard model

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Curvaton is an effectively massless field whose energy density during inflation is negligible but which later becomes dominant. This is a novel mechanism to generate the scale invariant perturbations. I discuss the possibility that the curvaton could be found among the fields of the minimally supersymmetric standard model (MSSM), which contains a number of flat directions along which the renormalizable potential vanishes. The requirements of late domination and the absence of damping of the perturbations pick out essentially a unique candidate for the MSSM curvaton. One must also require that inflation takes place in a hidden sector. If the inflaton energy density can be radiated into extra dimensions, many constraints can be relaxed, and the simplest flat direction consisting of the Higgses H_u and H_d would provide a working example of an MSSM curvaton.

description: Using Hubble Space Telescope ACS/WFC data we present the photometry and spatial distribution of resolved stellar populations of four fields within the extended ultraviolet disk (XUV disk) of M83. These observations show a clumpy distribution of main-sequence stars and a mostly smooth distribution of red giant branch stars. We constrain the upper-end of the initial mass function (IMF) in the outer disk using the detected population of main-sequence stars and an assumed constant star formation rate (SFR) over the last 300 Myr. By comparing the observed main-sequence luminosity function to simulations, we determine the best-fitting IMF to have a power law slope $α=-2.35 \pm 0.3$ and an upper-mass limit $\rm M_{u}=25_{-3}^{+17} \, M_\odot$. This IMF is consistent with the observed H$α$ emission, which we use to provide additional constraints on the IMF. We explore the influence of deviations from the constant SFR assumption, finding that our IMF conclusions are robust against all but strong recent variations in SFR, but these are excluded by causality arguments. These results, along with our similar studies of other nearby galaxies, indicate that some XUV disks are deficient in high-mass stars compared to a Kroupa IMF. There are over one hundred galaxies within 5 Mpc, many already observed with HST, thus allowing a more comprehensive investigation of the IMF, and how it varies, using the techniques developed here.

description: The nickel octasubstituted tetraporphyrinate (Ni-S(+)TPP) was studied as a dopant of nematic mixtures based on alkoxycyanobiphenyls (CB-6) and Schiff bases (SB-2). An analysis of the textures allowed to establish the formation of chiral nematic phases, to measure their clearance temperatures, the degree of dopants influence on the LC, and helical pitch. High helical twisting power was calculated (126.5 μm-1 for CB-6 and 63.5 μm-1 for SB-2). Anomalous temperature dependences of the LC dielectric permittivity were obtained, due to competition between the chiral dopant, which twisted the mesophase, and the magnetic field, which untwisted LC helix. On the base of quantum chemical calculations, the formation of stable solvates of Ni-S(+)TPP with 1 and 2 alkoxycyanobiphenyl molecules due to axial coordination and inclusion was established. Solvates involving Schiff bases are less stable due to the impossibility of axial coordination. These conclusions were confirmed by 1H NMR and ROESY.

description: Sparse linear algebra is central to many scientific programs, yet compilers fail to optimize it well. High-performance libraries are available, but adoption costs are significant. Moreover, libraries tie programs into vendor-specific software and hardware ecosystems, creating non-portable code. In this paper, we develop a new approach based on our specification Language for implementers of Linear Algebra Computations (LiLAC). Rather than requiring the application developer to (re)write every program for a given library, the burden is shifted to a one-off description by the library implementer. The LiLAC-enabled compiler uses this to insert appropriate library routines without source code changes. LiLAC provides automatic data marshaling, maintaining state between calls and minimizing data transfers. Appropriate places for library insertion are detected in compiler intermediate representation, independent of source languages. We evaluated on large-scale scientific applications written in FORTRAN; standard C/C++ and FORTRAN benchmarks; and C++ graph analytics kernels. Across heterogeneous platforms, applications and data sets we show speedups of 1.1$\times$ to over 10$\times$ without user intervention.

Greek and Indian Cosmology: Review of Early History

description: The early Greek and Indian cosmologies are summarized in this paper. The two traditions appear to have developed independently although after the time of Alexander they were consciously aware of each other. The focus and style of the two sciences was different owing to their different cosmologies. Perhaps the only science which worked more or less the same way in the two civilizations was medicine. But even here there was important difference. The reason why the two sciences went their own way in spite of the knowledge of the other was because their worldviews were different. Indian astronomers, for example, never paid any attention to Ptolemy's model with its crystalline spheres that looked restrictive compared to the vast scale of their own conception. On the other hand, the use of enormous time scales of Indian astronomy must have appeared unnecessary to the Greeks.

description: We consider a Laplace operator on a random graph consisting of infinitely many loops joined symmetrically by intervals of unit length. The arc lengths of the loops are considered to be independent, identically distributed random variables. The integrated density of states of this Laplace operator is shown to have discontinuities provided that the distribution of arc lengths of the loops has a nontrivial pure point part. Some numerical illustrations are also presented.

Public APIs: Extending access to the UK Data Service
Creators: name: Sheperdson, John
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: The UK Data Service is providing access to its data and metadata holdings by making public some of its web service APIs. These REST APIs facilitate a self-service approach for our data producers and researchers alike, whilst also enabling 3rd party developers to write applications that consume our APIs and present novel and exciting ways of accessing and viewing some of the data collections that we hold. We have put new infrastructure in place to enable the provision of these APIs and have already run an App Challenge (for external developers to build mobile applications against our APIs) and added a data collection usage "leader board" as initial tests of the functionality, capacity, account management, developer documentation and performance aspects of our public APIs. The main infrastructure elements are an API management service, HTTP caching and routing and various API endpoints. The other major consideration was a set of design principles for the APIs so that developers have a consistent and predictable experience. This presentation will elaborate on the key components of the infrastructure and the API design guidelines.

description: The $σ$-exchange and $f_2$-exchange mechanisms for $ρ$ meson photoproduction are re-examined. Then the commonly employed $σ$-exchange amplitude is revised by using the recent information from the analyses on the $ρ\to π^0π^0γ$ decay and the $σNN$ coupling constant from Bonn potential. Instead of relying on the Pomeron-$f$ proportionality assumption, the $f_2$ meson exchange amplitude is established from an effective Lagrangian which is constructed from the tensor structure of the $f_2$ meson. Phenomenological information together with tensor meson dominance and vector meson dominance assumptions are used to estimate the $f_2$ coupling constants. As a first step to improve the current theoretical models, we have also explored the effects due to the un-correlated $2π$ exchange amplitude with $πN$ intermediate state. This leading-order $2π$ exchange amplitude can be calculated using the coupling constants determined from the study of pion photoproduction and the empirical width of $ρ\to ππ$ decay. In comparing with the existing differential cross section data, we find that a model with the constructed $2π$, $σ$, and $f_2$ exchanges is comparable to the commonly used $σ$ exchange model in which the $σ$ coupling parameters are simply adjusted to fit the experimental data. We suggest that experimental verifications of the predicted single and double spin asymmetries in the small $|t|$ ($ < 2$ GeV$^2$) region will be useful for distinguishing the two models and improving our understanding of the non-resonant amplitude of $ρ$ photoproduction. Possible further improvements of the model are discussed.

description: Azulenes and crystal-smectic E-phases (SmE) both have recently raised attention for the design of novel organic devices. However, the combination of self-assembly into soft-crystalline mesophases with the unique electronic properties of azulene derivatives has not been probed yet. Therefore, a convenient synthesis of 6-alkoxy-2-bromoazulenes, forming ambient temperature SmE-phases, was developed. Differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction provided insight into the self-assembly of the liquid crystalline phase. Comparison of experimental data and quantum chemical calculations of 6-alkoxy-2-bromoazulene with the ‘inverted’ 2-alkoxy-6-bromoazulene revealed large differences in polarity, which affected optical and mesomorphic properties, and provided insight into structure–property relationships enabling the design of novel thin-film devices.

description: We present new spectroscopic and photometric data on the early-type overcontact binary TU Muscae. The analysis of the spectroscopic data shows that the line of sight to the system crosses three kinematically sharp and well-separated interstellar reddening sources and that the stars rotate synchronously. We present new radial velocities that are in good agreement with earlier optical velocities and, thus, do not confirm the systematically smaller velocities obtained from IUE spectra. The optical velocities are analyzed simultaneously with the photometric data to derive accurate absolute dimesions for the binary components.The results show that TU Mus consists of an O7.5 primary with M_1=23.5 +/- 0.8 M_sun, R_1=7.48 +/- 0.08 R_sun and an O9.5 secondary with M_2=15.3 +/- 0.4 M_sun, R_2=6.15 +/- 0.07 R_sun in an overcontact configuration and that the orbital period has remained constant over the three decades covered by the observations. These results might imply that the mass transfer seen in late-type overcontact binaries does not occur in their early-type counterparts.

description: Transport processes are considered for their abilities to generate flow in a mixed-phase system of hadrons plus quark-gluon plasma exhibiting temperature and density gradients. Diffusive mechanisms are found to be the leading sources. Even after overcoming viscous effects, conductive and diffusive forces generate flow velocities for pions in a model using kinetic theory to within fifteen percent of light speed. Since such flow is not observed, this could possibly rule out the mixed phase in the evolution of high energy heavy ion collisions.
