description: The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission identified a potential 0.88 REarth planet with a period of 7.577 days, orbiting the nearby M1V star GJ 341 (TOI 741.01). This system has already been observed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to search for presence of an atmosphere on this planet. Here, we present an in-depth analysis of the GJ 341 system using all available public data. We provide improved parameters for the host star, an updated value of the planet radius, and support the planetary nature of the object (now GJ 341 b). We use 57 HARPS radial velocities to model the magnetic cycle and activity of the host star, and constrain the mass of GJ 341 b to upper limits of 4.0 MEarth (3 sigma) and 2.9 MEarth (1 sigma). We also rule out the presence of additional companions with M sin i > 15.1 MEarth, and P < 1750 days, and the presence of contaminating background objects during the TESS and JWST observations. These results provide key information to aid the interpretation of the recent JWST atmospheric observations and other future observations of this planet.

description: We illustrate the effects of one-loop weak corrections onto the production of neutral gauge bosons of the Standard Model at RHIC-Spin, Tevatron and LHC, in presence of quark/gluon radiation from the initial state. We find such effects to be rather large, up to ${\cal O}(10-20%)$ in typical observables at all such colliders, where the cross section is measurable, thus advocating their inclusion in precision analyses

description: In the present work, a power law dissipative Carnot like heat engine cycle of two irreversible isothermal and two irreversible adiabatic processes with finite time non-adiabatic dissipation is considered and the efficiency under two optimization criteria $\dotΩ$ figure of merit and efficient power, $χ_{ep}$ is studied. The generalized extreme bounds of the optimized efficiency under the above said optimization criteria are obtained. The lower and upper bounds of the efficiency for the low dissipation Carnot-like heat engine under these optimization criteria are obtained with dissipation level $δ$ = 1. In corroborate with efficiency at maximum power, this result also shows the presence of non-adiabatic dissipation does not influence the extreme bounds on the efficiency optimized by both these target functions in the low dissipation model.

description: The McLerran-Venugopalan (MV) model is a Gaussian effective theory of color charge fluctuations at small-$x$ in the limit of large valence charge density, {\it i}.{\it e}., a large nucleus made of uncorrelated color charges. In this work, we explore the effects of the first non-trivial (even C-parity) non-Gaussian correction on the color charge density to the MV model ("quartic" term) in SU(2) and SU(3) color group in the non-perturbative regime. We compare our (numerical) non-perturbative results to (analytical) perturbative ones in the limit of small or large non-Gaussian fluctuations. The couplings in the non-Gaussian action, $\barμ$ for the quadratic and $κ_4$ for the quartic term, need to be renormalized in order to match the two-point function in the Gaussian theory. We investigate three different choices for the renormalization of these couplings: i) $κ_{4}$ is proportional to a power of $\barμ$; ii) $κ_4$ is kept constant and iii) $\barμ$ is kept constant. We find that the first two choices lead to a scenario where the small-$x$ action evolves towards a theory dominated by large non-Gaussian fluctuations, regardless of the system size, while the last one allows for controlling the deviations from the MV model.

Neural and autonomic markers of alcohol use behavior change in emerging adulthood: a prospective study
Creators: name: Lesnewich, Laura Marie
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: Alcohol use contributes to an immense public health burden, and emerging adulthood (ages 18-30 years) represents the most high-risk time for transition to problematic drinking. Social factors are known to influence changes in alcohol use, but less is known about the neurobiological mechanisms that underlie changes in drinking behaviors over time. This longitudinal study of 107 emerging adults examined cross-sectional and prospective models of alcohol-related behaviors and consequences with the goal of identifying candidate biomarkers of these outcomes. Participants were assessed at three time points (T1, T2, T3). Non-linear regression (cross-sectional) and hierarchical generalized linear modeling (prospective) were used to model four alcohol-related outcomes: drinks per drinking day, drinking days per week, binge drinking incidence, and alcohol-related problems. Neurobiological predictors of interest, measured at T1, included resting-state functional connectivity within the central executive network (CEN) and between the amygdala and orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), as well as two indices of heart rate variability (HRV). All models controlled for age, sex, and either alcohol-related problems or binge drinking. The cross-sectional models of T1 data yielded multiple negative associations between CEN and amygdala-OFC connectivity and all four alcohol outcomes, as well as one positive association between CEN connectivity and alcohol-related problems. Prospective models indicated T1 connectivity of CEN edges stemming from the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex were predictive of changes in drinks per drinking day, drinking days per week, and binge drinking. Additionally, T1 high-frequency HRV was predictive of changes in binge drinking. This study corroborates existing research demonstrating a relationship between CEN and amygdala-OFC connectivity and alcohol-related outcomes. The findings add novel prospective evidence, strengthening the hypothesis that functional connectivity and HRV may contribute to changes in drinking behaviors over time.

description: The term "deregulation," used in reference to surface transportation, is a useful, one-word slogan representing a significant increase in commercial freedom for the transportation industries. However, the term does not imply an institutional shift from the current, regulated, common carrier structure to a completely unregulated, competitive market structure. When. constructing the Staggers Rail Act of 1980 and the Motor Carrier Act of 1980, Congress had .no intention to terminate surface transportation regulation. The intent was to loosen the grip of government rules, allowing carriers, and shippers to respond more fully to opportunities available in an increasingly- competitive market environment.

Evidence for a Cosmological Stromgren Surface and for Significant Neutral Hydrogen Surrounding the Quasar SDSS J1030+0524

description: A bright quasar residing in a dense and largely neutral intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshifts (z > 6) will be surrounded by a large cosmological Stromgren sphere. The quasar's spectrum will then show a sharp increase in resonant Lyman line absorption at wavelengths approaching and shorter than that corresponding to the Stromgren sphere's boundary along the line of sight. We show here that simultaneously considering the measured absorption in two or more hydrogen Lyman lines can provide the dynamical range required to detect this feature. We model broad and robust features of the Lyman alpha and Lyman beta regions of the spectrum of the z=6.28 quasar SDSS J1030+0524, using a hydrodynamical simulation. From the steep wavelength-dependence of the inferred absorption opacity, we detect the boundary of the Stromgren sphere at a proper distance of 6.0 +/- 0.2 Mpc away from the source redshift. From the spectrum alone, we also find that beyond this distance, cosmic hydrogen turns nearly neutral, with a neutral fraction of x_HI > 0.2, and that the ionizing luminosity of this quasar is in the range (5.2 +/- 2.5) times 10^{56} photons/sec. The method presented here, when applied to future quasars, can probe the complex topology of overlapping ionized regions, and can be used to study the details of the reionization process.

description: In this work an overall electronic structure including the position and formation energies of various intrinsic defects are computed for anatase using Density Functional Theory aided by Hubbard correction (DFT+U). The intrinsic point defects considered here are, oxygen vacancy ($V_O$), oxygen interstitial ($O_i$), titanium vacancy ($V_{Ti}$) and titanium interstitial ($Ti_i$). Out of all the intrinsic defects considered here, $V_{Ti}$ and $Ti_i$ are found to be most stable under equilibrium condition. Whereas, conduction band in anatase is consisted of mainly Ti 3d with a minor component of O 2p states, valence band is found to be mainly composed of O 2p with a minor contribution from Ti 3d states. $V_O$ and $Ti_i$ are found to form localized states in the band gap. Moreover, anisotropy in the effective mass is seen. Finally, an alignment of band diagrams for all the intrinsic defect states is performed using vacuum potential from slab-supercell calculation as reference. This first principle study would help in the understanding of defect-induced insulating to conducting transition in anatase, which would have significant impact in the photocatalytic and optoelectronic area.

description: Tensor networks represent the state-of-the-art in computational methods across many disciplines, including the classical simulation of quantum many-body systems and quantum circuits. Several applications of current interest give rise to tensor networks with irregular geometries. Finding the best possible contraction path for such networks is a central problem, with an exponential effect on computation time and memory footprint. In this work, we implement new randomized protocols that find very high quality contraction paths for arbitrary and large tensor networks. We test our methods on a variety of benchmarks, including the random quantum circuit instances recently implemented on Google quantum chips. We find that the paths obtained can be very close to optimal, and often many orders or magnitude better than the most established approaches. As different underlying geometries suit different methods, we also introduce a hyper-optimization approach, where both the method applied and its algorithmic parameters are tuned during the path finding. The increase in quality of contraction schemes found has significant practical implications for the simulation of quantum many-body systems and particularly for the benchmarking of new quantum chips. Concretely, we estimate a speed-up of over 10,000$\times$ compared to the original expectation for the classical simulation of the Sycamore `supremacy' circuits.

description: The purpose of this project is to examine how UBC Varsity student-athletes understand and experience diversity and interculturalism. Our objective was to identify the key areas of inclusion that support student athlete diversity; in addition, to highlight any barriers UBC Varsity student-athletes may face within their teams, across teams and within the UBC Varsity unit. The direction of this paper was determined by reviewing previous KIN 465 projects that focused on the intersection of UBC Varsity Athletics and Interculturalism. A series of short and long answer questions focused on five main components: identity, gender, race, sexuality, religion and culture, was formulated. The survey was distributed via Qualtrics, a survey platform, to assess the current UBC Varsity student athlete climate. 92 anonymous responses were recorded. Our three main findings are as follows: (1) UBC Varsity student athletes wish for more opportunities to intermingle within their own team, as well as with other Varsity teams; (2) respondents noted there was less diversity in terms of identity, gender, race, sexuality, religion and culture within UBC Varsity as a whole, as compared to the general student population; and (3) UBC Varsity student-athletes speak highly of the pre-season athlete seminar, but would like to learn more about the resources and tools available for them. Based on our findings, we provided 3 recommendations: (1) designating a space for fostering social connection amongst student-athletes should be explored; (2) further changes in policy and educational means should be explored to better accommodate for student-athletes who have individual religious and cultural needs; and lastly, (3) increasing attendance at events, such as the Pride Parade, to increase visibility of UBC Varsity and it’s support interculturalism, diversity and inclusion. These recommendations will help to inform future policy, practice and education and enhance equity, diversity and inclusion for all student-athletes; however, more research is required as this project provides only a preliminary analysis of the current UBC Varsity student athlete climate.

Plurality and quantification in graph representation of meaning
Creators: name: Cao, Yu
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2021

description: The study of meaning is inseparable from that of semantic representation, as design efforts in the latter exert far-reaching implications for linguistics and related computation. In this thesis, we present a representation formalism based on directed graphs and explore its explanatory benefits in application to classic issues in plurality and quantification, two aspects of natural language semantics treated in previous graph formalisms with varied linguistic adequacy. Our graph language (Chapter 2) covers the essentials of natural language semantics (thematic relations, modification, co-reference, intensionality, plurality, quantification, and coordination) while using only monadic second-order variables. We show that the model-theoretical interpretation of this language can be defined in terms of graph traversal, where the relative scope of variables arises from their order of valuation. We present a unification-based mechanism for constructing semantic graphs at a simple syntax-semantics interface (Chapter 3), whose task is to decide equivalence among discourse referents introduced by linguistic tokens, through syntax and through non-syntactic resolutions. Syntax is then formulated as a deterministic partition function on discourse referents. By establishing a partly deterministic relation between semantics and syntactic distribution, we show that this function finds a natural implementation in categorial grammars, owing to the way they manipulate syntactic resources. The syntax-semantics interface described here is automated to facilitate future exploration. In applying the present graph formalism to selected topics in plurality and quantification (Chapters 4-5), we show that distributive predication of various forms (and even lack thereof) can be attributed to variants of a graph motif that performs quantification, and the partial determinism between semantics and syntactic distribution allows these variants to share roughly the same syntax. Our syntax-semantics interface offers streamlined solutions to compositional problems in cross-categorial conjunction and scope permutation of quantificational expressions. A scope taking strategy analogous to co-reference resolution is shown to simplify the treatment of exceptional scoping behaviors of indefinites.

description: The triviality and vacuum stability bounds on the Higgs-boson mass ($\mh$) were revisited in presence of weakly-coupled new interactions parameterized in a model-independent way by effective operators of dimension 6. The constraints from precision tests of the Standard Model were taken into account. It was shown that for the scale of new physics in the region $Λ\simeq 2 ÷50 \tev$ the Standard Model triviality upper bound remains unmodified whereas it is natural to expect that the lower bound derived from the requirement of vacuum stability is substantially modified depending on the scale $\La$ and strength of coefficients of effective operators. A natural generalization of the standard triviality condition leads also to a substantial reduction of the allowed region in the ($Λ,\mh$) space.

description: In occasione dei Giochi Panellenici di Istmia del 196 a.C., il proconsole romano T.Q. Flaminino proclama le città della Grecia liberae atque immunes. L’annuncio, di pura propaganda, costituisce il coronamento di quanto avvenuto l’anno precedente a Kynoskephalai, Tessaglia: la vittoria delle legioni romane sulla falange macedone di Filippo V in una battaglia che pose fine alla Seconda Guerra Macedonica (200-197 a.C.), segnando un definitivo cambio di egemonia politica nei Balcani. Lo studio della ‘campagna tessala’ ha costituito il pretesto per tracciare un quadro sugli aspetti topografici, viari e difensivi del territorio ubicato al confine tra Pelasgiotide e Ftiotide, teatro delle manovre militari. La metodologia di indagine è basata su una revisione delle fonti storico-letterarie e degli studi pregressi alla luce degli ultimi dati acquisiti mediante telerilevamento e ricognizione diretta. During the 196 BC Panhellenic Games held in Isthmia, the Roman proconsul T.Q. Flamininus proclaims the cities of Greece liberae atque immunes. This announcement, of pure propaganda, represents the crowning glory of the events occurred one year earlier in Kynoskephalai, Thessaly: the victory of the Roman legions over the Philip V’s Macedonian phalanx. The battle put an end to the Second Macedonian War (200-197 BC) and entailed a definitive change of the political hegemony over the Balkans. The study of the ‘Thessalian campaign’ has been the pretext to get an overall view of topography, road layouts and defensive organization of the territory located between Pelasgiotis and Phthiotis, scenery of the war manoeuvres. The research approach is based on reviews of historical-literary sources and previous studies in the light of latest results achieved through both remote-sensing and direct survey.

SUL NOME E LA PATRIA DELL'EPIGRAMMISTA ERUCIO: UNA VERSIONE DELLA QUESTIONE
Creators: name: Dozza, Vittoria

description: L’articolo esamina la figura di Ἐρύκιος, autore di epigrammi trasmessi dall’Anthologia Graeca. La discussione, in particolare, concerne la patria dell’autore, al nome del quale vengono affiancati due etnici diversi, Θεσσαλός e Κυζικηνός, e si vale di fonti epigrafiche e degli indizi contenuti nella sua produzione poetica, con alcune osservazioni più generali sul sistema delle inscriptiones nell’Anthologia Palatina. In secondo luogo, si esamina l’origine del nome (probabilmente traslitterazione greca del lat. Erucius), e, dunque, un eventuale collegamento tra l’autore e il contesto romano-italico a lui contemporaneo. A questo scopo, si dà nuova attenzione a due questioni ancora aperte che emergono da due testi dell’epigrammista: l’identità del Partenio cui è dedicato Eryc. AP VII 377, da alcuni ritenuto il poeta elegiaco di Nicea, attivo a Roma in età augustea; infine, il rapporto intertestuale tra Eryc. AP VI 96,2 e il verso virgiliano Ecl. 7,4 This work examines the profile of Ἐρύκιος, the author of some epigrams preserved in the Greek Anthology. The discussion will focus especially on the author’s home country, because his name is attached to two different ethnics, Θεσσαλός e Κυζικηνός, and it is based on epigraphic sources and on some hints contained in his poetic works. The discussion will entail as well some general observations about the adscriptions in the Palatine Anthology. Then, the paper will take into account the origin of the name (probably the Greek transcription of the Latin name Erucius). Accordingly, it will proceed by considering any connections between the author and the Roman or the Italian context of his time. For this purpose, new attention will be given to two questions arising from two of his poems: that is, the identity of Partenius addressed in Eryc. AP VII 377, which some scholars think to be the elegiac poet from Nicea, active in Rome in the Augustan age; and, finally, the intertextual links between Eryc. AP VI 96,2 and the Vergilian line Ecl. 7,4.

description: The bright Seyfert 1 galaxy H1419+480 (z~0.072), whose X-ray colours from earlier HEAO-1 and ROSAT missions suggested a complex X-ray spectrum, has been observed with XMM-Newton. The EPIC spectrum above 2 keV is well fit by a power-law with photon index Γ=1.84\pm 0.01 and an Fe Ka line of equivalent width ~250 eV. At softer energies, a decrement with respect to this model extending from 0.5 to 1 keV is clearly detected. After trying a number of models, we find that the best fit corresponds to OVII absorption at the emission redshift, plus a 2-sigma detection of OVIII absorption. A photoionised gas model fit yields log xi~ 1.15-1.30 (xi in erg cm/s) with N_H~ 5 10^{21} cm^{-2} for solar abundances. We find that the ionized absorber was weaker or absent in an earlier ROSAT observation. An IUE spectrum of this source obtained two decades before shows a variable (within a year) CIV absorber outflowing with a velocity ~1800 km/s. We show that both X-ray and UV absorptions are consistent with arising in the same gas, with varying ionisation.

description: The recent discovery of an X-ray jet in the z=4.3 quasar GB 1508+5714 by Yuan et al. (astro-ph/0309318) and Siemiginowska et al. (astro-ph/0310241) prompted a search for its radio counterpart. Here, we report the successful discovery of faint radio emission from the jet at 1.4 GHz using archival VLA data. The X-ray emission is best interpreted as inverse Compton (IC) emission off the CMB as discussed by the previous investigators. In this scenario, its high X-ray to radio monochromatic luminosity ratio, compared to previously detected IC/CMB X-ray jets at lower redshift, is a natural consequence of its high redshift.

Crossover component in non critical dissipative sandpile models

description: The effect of bulk dissipation on non critical sandpile models is studied using both multifractal and finite size scaling analyses. We show numerically that the local limited (LL) model exhibits a crossover from multifractal to self-similar behavior as the control parameters $h_{ext}$ and $ε$ turn towards their critical values, i.e. $h_{ext} \to 0^+ $ and $ε\to ε_c$. The critical exponents are not universal and exhibit a continuous variation with $ε$. On the other hand, the finite size effects for the local unlimited (LU), non local limited (NLL), and non local unlimited (NLU) models are well described by the multifractal analysis for all values of dissipation rate $ε$. The space-time avalanche structure is studied in order to give a deeper understanding of the finite size effects and the origin of the crossover behavior. This result is confirmed by the calculation of the susceptibility.

Kinematical models of latetime cosmology and the statefinder diagnostic

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)

description: The present work deals with kinematical models of latetime cosmology. It is based on purely phenomenological assumption about the deceleration parameter. The models are confronted to observational data sets of type Ia supernovae distance modulus measurements and measurements of Hubble parameter at different redshift. Constraints on the cosmological parameters are obtained by Markov Chanin Monte Charlo (MCMC) analysis using the observation data sets. The values of present Hubble parameter, deceleration parameter and the redshift of transition from decelerated to accelerated phase of expansion are estimated for the present kinematical models. Further the properties of dark energy for the present models are explored with general relativistic assumptions. The dark energy diagnostics, namely the Om diagnostic and the statefinder are adopted for a comparison of the present models. A phase space constructed of two different statefinder parameters breaks the degeneracy of the models. It is observed that the kinematical models attain the corresponding ΛCDM value on the phase space in the course of evolution. The evolution of matter density contrast at linear level has also been studied for the present kinematical models.

description: [Struthidea cinerea dalyi Mathews]
In the original description of this form, Mathews (1923a: 42) listed the type as from Daly Waters, Northern Territory (ex Capt. S.A. White) and said that the form differed from S.c. cinerea in being larger and of a more bluish tinge. No specimen of Struthidea collected by S.A. White, at Daly Waters or elsewhere, came to AMNH with the Roth schild Collection. There are also no specimens of this species taken by White in 1922 in SAMA (P. Horton, personal commun.)
White (1923) was part of a group that made an extensive automobile trip across Australia in 1922. He noted (White, 1923: 228) that on the day before they reached Daly Waters on 4 June they saw large parties of Struthidea cinerea. Mathews (1927: 425) cited additional information from White confirming that he had collected specimens.

description: State-space models (SSMs) are an important modeling framework for analyzing ecological time series. These hierarchical models are commonly used to model population dynamics, animal movement, and capture-recapture data, and are now increasingly being used to model other ecological processes. SSMs are popular because they are flexible and they model the natural variation in ecological processes separately from observation error. Their flexibility allows ecologists to model continuous, count, binary, and categorical data with linear or nonlinear processes that evolve in discrete or continuous time. Modeling the two sources of stochasticity separately allows researchers to differentiate between biological variation (e.g., in birth processes) and imprecision in the sampling methodology, and generally provides better estimates of the ecological quantities of interest than if only one source of stochasticity is directly modeled. Since the introduction of SSMs, a broad range of fitting procedures have been proposed. However, the variety and complexity of these procedures can limit the ability of ecologists to formulate and fit their own SSMs. We provide the knowledge for ecologists to create SSMs that are robust to common, and often hidden, estimation problems, and the model selection and validation tools that can help them assess how well their models fit their data. In this paper, we present a review of SSMs that will provide a strong foundation to ecologists interested in learning about SSMs, introduce new tools to veteran SSM users, and highlight promising research directions for statisticians interested in ecological applications. The review is accompanied by an in-depth tutorial that demonstrates how SSMs models can be fitted and validated in R. Together, the review and tutorial present an introduction to SSMs that will help ecologists to formulate, fit, and validate their models.
