description: We propose an optomechanical laser based on III-V compounds which exhibits self-pulsation in the presence of a dissipative optomechanical coupling. In such a laser cavity, radiation pressure drives the mechanical degree of freedom and its back-action is caused by the mechanical modulation of the cavity loss rate. Our numerical analysis shows that even in a wideband gain material, such dissipative coupling couples the mechanical oscillation with the laser relaxation oscillations process. Laser self-pulsation is observed for mechanical frequencies below the laser relaxation oscillation frequency under sufficiently high optomechanical coupling factor.

description: The objective of this study is to investigate the concentrations and dynamics of microplastics in headwater streams of the Chattooga River in western North Carolina. The southern Appalachian Mountains serve as the “water towers” for the Southeast, as many important rivers are born in the mountains. Despite their importance to both humans and aquatic biota, no published studies have examined the concentrations and dynamics of microplastics in streams or rivers in this region.

description: The quasi-one-dimensional van der Waals compound Bi$_4$Br$_4$ was recently found to be a promising high-order topological insulator with exotic electronic states. In this paper, we study the electrical transport properties of Bi$_4$Br$_4$ bulk crystals. Two electron-type samples with different electron concentrations are investigated. Both samples have saturation resistivity behavior in low temperature. In the low-concentration sample, two-dimensional quantum oscillations are clearly observed in the magnetoresistance measurements, which are attributed to the band-bending-induced surface state on the (001) facet. In the high-concentration sample, the angular magnetoresistance exhibits two pairs of symmetrical sharp valleys with an angular difference close to the angle between the crystal planes (001) and (100). The additional valley can be explained by the contribution of the boundary states on the (100) facet. Besides, Hall measurements at low temperatures reveal an anomalous decrease of electron concentration with increasing temperature, which can be explained by the temperature-induced Lifshitz transition. These results shed light on the abundant surface and boundary state transport signals and the temperature-induced Lifshitz transition in Bi$_4$Br$_4$.

Examining How Environmental Chemicals Affect Cellular Pathways Leading to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Creators: name: Bhat, Vanya
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressing motor neuron disease that affects neurons responsible for voluntary muscle movements such as walking, talking, and breathing. While therapies are developed to treat ALS symptoms, there is no cure for the disease. Toxic environmental chemicals such as pesticides have been found to increase the likelihood of ALS by causing the toxic aggregation of TDP-43, the hallmark protein of the disease. TDP-43 is typically found in the nucleus of neurons. However, in ALS, it delocalizes to the cytoplasm and forms toxic aggregates. Oxidative stress is another factor known to induce TDP-43 aggregation. This study examines whether two pesticides, TS1 and TS3, cause toxic TDP aggregation. Oxidative stress is also studied to see whether it is involved in response to pesticides. Results of this study show that TS1 and TS3 induce toxic TDP-43 aggregation. It is also observed that oxidative stress may play a role in toxic TDP-43 aggregation formation. Further examination of these pesticides and the effects of oxidative stress can lead to novel druggable targets for ALS therapy.
Memory effects on energy loss and diffusion of heavy quarks in the quark-gluon plasma

description: We study the dynamics of heavy quarks in a thermalized quark-gluon plasma with a time-correlated thermal noise, $η$. In this case it is said that $η$ has memory. We use an integro-differential Langevin equation in which the memory enters via the thermal noise and the dissipative force. We assume that the time correlations of the noise decay exponentially on a time scale, $τ$, that we treat as a free parameter. We compute the effects of $τ\neq 0$ on the thermalization time of the heavy quarks, on their momentum broadening and on the nuclear modification factor. We find that overall memory slows down the momentum evolution of heavy quarks: in fact, transverse momentum broadening and the formation of $R_{AA}$ are slowed down by memory and the thermalization time of the heavy quarks become larger. The potential impact on other observables is discussed briefly.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: ATLAS has published a total of 462 research outputs in 2016-2020, and an additional 96 are currently in preparation. They consist of scientific articles (9%), data sets (17%), data products such as georeferenced maps (31%), and various “other” outputs (42%) that include project deliverables, cruise reports, presentations and posters (Figure 1). The latter are available at Zenodo, whereas scientific articles were published in peer-reviewed journals. The proportion of research outputs belonging to these four types is consistent with the research life cycle of a scientific consortium, where ideas are communicated and developed among peers through presentations and progress reports, leading to a relatively smaller number of articles that contribute to the wider scientific community. Also consistent with the life cycle of scientific knowledge, data sets and data products were published towards the end of the project, leading to data re-use and increased scientific impact beyond the life-time of the project. Together, data sets and products dominate the overall number of research outputs (48%). The present report provides a synthetic, but exhaustive overview of data sets and data products generated by ATLAS.

description: Purpose: Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder not only affecting motor functions but also cognitive and psychosocial dimension. Multispecialty therapies are needed to address these dimensions. Dance practice provides multidimensional benefits for people with various neurological disorders and may present a real potential for people with cerebral palsy. A scoping review is conducted to evaluate the impact of dance in children and adults with cerebral palsy, based on the Human Development Model–Disability Creation Process 2 and its three key concepts: personal factors, environmental factors and life habits. Materials and methods: Studies were selected based on a systematic search of published literature in the following databases PubMed, Medline, EBM Reviews, EMBASE and CINAHL. Studies addressing any concepts on the impact of dance training on motor, cognitive and psychosocial dimensions in people with cerebral palsy were included. Results: Seven studies representing 45 children and 12 adults with cerebral palsy were selected. They had heterogeneous populations, protocols and outcomes measures, but overall covered the three main concepts of the model. Dance may have both motor and social benefits although the evidence remains weak. Conclusions: Dance appears to be a promising activity for people with cerebral palsy. Recommendations are proposed for future studies.Implications for rehabilitationCerebral palsy affects motor and cognitive functions and has social repercussions.Dance can be a promising activity for people with a cerebral palsy.Dance may have both motor and social benefits although the evidence remains weak.

description: While the standard construction of the S-matrix fails on Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime, a generalized S-matrix makes sense, based on the hypercylinder geometry induced by the boundary of AdS. In contrast to quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime, there is not yet a standard way to resolve the quantization ambiguities arising in its construction. These ambiguities are conveniently encoded in the choice of a complex structure. We explore in this paper the space of complex structures for real scalar Klein-Gordon theory based on a number of criteria. These are: invariance under AdS isometries, induction of a positive definite inner product, compatibility with the standard S-matrix picture and recovery of standard structures in Minkowski spacetime under a limit of vanishing curvature. While there is no complex structure that satisfies all demands, we emphasize two interesting candidates that satisfy most: In one case we have to give up part of the isometry invariance, in the other case the induced inner product is indefinite.

description: We consider conformal vector models which could play the role of a cosmological dark radiation component. We analyse the propagation of gravitational waves in the presence of this vector background and find a suppression in the tensor transfer function at large scales. We also find that although the cosmological background metric is isotropic, anisotropies are imprinted in the tensor power spectrum. In addition, the presence of the background vector fields induces a net polarization of the gravitational wave background and, for certain configurations of the vector field, a linear to circular polarization conversion. We also show that this kind of effects are also present for vector models with more general potential terms.

Policy Cooperation

Subjects: subject: 150399 Business and Management not elsewhere classified

description: The subject of this panel, policy cooperation, has several meanings. When I became chairman of the International Financial Institution Advisory Commission, two people who are well acquainted with the Bank for International Settlements advised me separately that the Bank plays an important role, one that they valued highly, in promoting understanding and, at times, cooperation. Since I respect and admire Hans Tietmeyer and Alan Greenspan, I accepted their view that the regular meetings of central bankers at this Bank promoted understanding of the political constraints under which some central banks operated and encouraged cooperation. This is one, useful, but relatively narrow meaning of central bank policy cooperation.

A second, and to me less appealing, meaning, takes the form of exchange rate coordination. Countries agree to adjust their nominal exchange rates by changing domestic policies. Examples include the 1936 Tripartite Agreement between Britain, France, and the United States or the efforts in the 1970s to convince Germany to expand more rapidly to help the United States. Proposals of t his kind often require actions that are opposite to the policy actions countries would choose in the absence of coordination. For example during the late 1970s, the United States wanted Germany to inflate somewhat faster to prevent nominal dollar depreciation. The German response was, in effect, that the same result could be achieved by less inflation in the United States. Coordination of this kind often fails.

A third kind of policy coordination is the topic I want to address. I propose coordination by the United States, Asian and European countries to the growing imbalances in the world economy. The proposal I offer asks countries to agree to policies that are in their own long-run interest but also each others. Political concerns in each country keep them from adopting these policies unilaterally. Mutual agreement – coordination – may be a way of breaking the stalemate.

description: We report on the development of a frequency modulatable 795 nm semiconductor laser based on self-injection locking to a high quality factor whispering gallery mode microresonator. The laser is characterized with residual amplitude modulation below -80 dB and frequency noise better than 300 Hz/Hz^(1/2) at offset frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 10 MHz. The frequency modulation (FM) speed and span of the laser exceed 1 MHz and 4 GHz, respectively. Locking of the laser to Doppler-free saturated absorption resonance of 87Rb D1 line is demonstrated and frequency stability below 10^(-12) is measured for integration time spanning from 1 s to 1 day. The architecture demonstrated in this study is suitable for realization of frequency modulatable lasers at any wavelength.

description: This study is the third of a series that investigates the degeneracy and stochasticity problems present in the determination of physical parameters such as age, mass, extinction, and metallicity of partially resolved or unresolved star cluster populations situated in external galaxies when using broad-band photometry. This work tests the derivation of parameters of artificial star clusters using models with fixed and free metallicity for the WFC3+ACS photometric system. Then the method is applied to derive parameters of a sample of 203 star clusters in the Andromeda galaxy observed with the HST. Following Papers I \& II, the star cluster parameters are derived using a large grid of stochastic models that are compared to the observed cluster broad-band integrated WFC3+ACS magnitudes. We derive the age, mass, and extinction of the sample of M31 star clusters with one fixed metallicity in agreement with previous studies. Using artificial tests we demonstrate the ability of the WFC3+ACS photometric system to derive the metallicity of star clusters. We show that the metallicity derived using photometry of 36 massive M31 star clusters is in a good agreement with the metallicity previously derived using spectroscopy taken from literature.

Postoptimality Analysis for Integer Programming Using Binary Decision Diagrams

description: We show how binary decision diagrams (BDDs) can be used
to solve and obtain postoptimality analysis for linear and nonlinear integer
programming problems with binary or general integer variables. The
constraint set corresponds to a unique reduced BDD that represents all
feasible or near-optimal solutions, and in which optimal solutions correspond
to certain shortest paths. The BDD can be queried in real time for
in-depth postoptimality reasoning. The approach is equally effective for
linear and nonlinear problems. There are currently no other methods for
obtaining such an analysis, short of repeatedly re-solving the problem.
We illustrate the analysis on capital budgeting and network reliability
problems.

description: Aims: The purpose of this research was to examine the lived experiences of adults with upper limb absence, specifically the interplay of device use, ability, and quality of life through semi-structured interviews. We sought to draw insight from these experiences to improve the practice and perceptions of adults with upper limb absence, prosthetists, and technology designers. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted and interpreted with phenomenological analysis for fourteen individuals with acquired or congenital limb absence. Through an interpretive phenomenological analysis approach, researchers employed an inductive approach to coding and identification of central themes. Results: Participants shared high perceptions of ability and function, regardless of prosthesis or assistive technology use. Life experiences related to three dimensions strongly influenced perceptions of ability: (1) learning to live with upper limb absence, (2) developing their identity, and (3) connecting with their community. The diversity of experiences across participants highlighted the limitations of identifying “normative” pathways of recovery or device use, emphasizing the need for flexible and adaptable systems that can creatively support personal goals and needs. Conclusions: Integration of novel platforms for professional practice, supportive communities, and technology innovation can support the evolving needs and care of individuals with upper limb absence.Implications for rehabilitationIn this study, perceptions of ability were largely independent of prosthetic use and each individual developed a unique toolkit of devices and strategies to support function in daily life.Clinicians can support perceptions of ability by promoting opportunities for community development and life-long learning.Informal communities, such as online networks, can provide novel device designs, resources for learning, and societal awareness to empower individuals with limb absence.

description: We analysed the clustering of a photometric sample of galaxy clusters selected from the Third Data Release of the Kilo-Degree Survey, focusing on the redshift-space two-point correlation function (2PCF). We compared our measurements to theoretical predictions of the standard $Λ$ cold dark matter ($Λ$CDM) cosmological model. We measured the 2PCF of the sample in the cluster centric radial range $r\in[5,80]$ $h^{-1}$Mpc, considering 4934 galaxy clusters with richness $λ^*\geq15$ in the redshift range $z\in[0.1,0.6]$. A Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis has been performed to constrain the cosmological parameters $Ω_{\rm m}$, $σ_8$, and $S_8 \equiv σ_8(Ω_{\rm m}/0.3)^{0.5}$, assuming Gaussian priors on the mass-richness relation given by the posteriors obtained from a joint analysis of cluster counts and weak lensing. In addition, we constrained the normalisation of the mass-richness relation, $α$, with fixed cosmological parameters. We obtained $Ω_{\rm m}=0.28^{+0.05}_{-0.04}$, $σ_8=0.82^{+0.14}_{-0.12}$, and $S_8=0.80^{+0.08}_{-0.08}$. The constraint on $S_8$ is consistent within 1$σ$ with the results from WMAP and Planck. Furthermore, by fixing the cosmological parameters to those provided by Planck, we obtained $α=0.12^{+0.06}_{-0.06}$, which is fully consistent with the result obtained from the joint analysis of cluster counts and weak lensing performed for this sample.

description: What is it about
Digital Earth Africa's (DEA) Monitoring Erosion of Africa's Coastline Application uses imagery from NASA/USGS Landsat 8 and Landsat 9 in combination with Jupyter Notebook to analyze the changes in coastline. The data is free and available for the entire planet, therefore proven to be a more powerful and cost effective tool for monitoring coastline and rivers at regional and national scale. The imagery is cleaned by combining individual noisy images into cleaner "summary" or composite layers, and filtering the data to focus only on images taken at certain tidal conditions. These clean, tidally constrained composite images can then be used to identify and extract the precise boundary between water and land. Thus extract accurate shorelines that can be compared across time to indicate the hotspots of erosion and coastal change.
Field surveys such as aerial photography and LiDAR can be used to monitor the coastal change however it has proven to be expensive and time consuming to build up accurate data on coastline change over time.
The coastal environment is constantly changing due to effects of erosion that has presented a major challenge to the coastal infrastructure and the important ecological habitats. The output from this analysis is essential for coastal managers to be able to identify and minimize the impacts of coastal change and erosion.
This notebook allows for easy replication of analysis across Africa, through simply changing the analysis parameters. The user guide provides an overview of the analysis, resources used/supplied and directions on how to reproduce the analysis.
This knowledge package includes the necessary data, computational resources and instructions required to reproduce the methodology used in Digital Earth Africa's 'Monitoring Erosion of Africa's Coastline' Jupyter Notebook. 
The User's Guide provides an overview of the application.

description: Half-metallicity in materials has been a subject of extensive research due to its potential for applications in spintronics. Ferromagnetic manganites have been seen as a good candidate, and aside from a small minority-spin pocket observed in La$_{2-2x}$Sr$_{1+2x}$Mn$_{2}$O$_{7}$ $(x=0.38)$, transport measurements show that ferromagnetic manganites essentially behave like half metals. Here we develop robust tight-binding models to describe the electronic band structure of the majority as well as minority spin states of ferromagnetic, spin-canted antiferromagnetic, and fully antiferromagnetic bilayer manganites. Both the bilayer coupling between the MnO$_2$ planes and the mixing of the $|x^2 - y^2>$ and $|3z^2 - r^2>$ Mn 3d orbitals play an important role in the subtle behavior of the bilayer splitting. Effects of $k_z$ dispersion are included.

Optimality Conditions for Distributive Justice

subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: This paper uses optimization theory to address a fundamental question of ethics:
how to divide resources justly among individuals, groups, or organizations. It formulates
utilitarian and Rawlsian criteria for distributive justice as optimization problems.
The formulations recognize that some recipients are more productive than others, so
that an inequitable distribution may create greater overall utility. Conditions are derived
under which a distribution of resources is utility maximizing, and under which it
achieves a lexicographic maximum, which we take as formulating the difference principle
of John Rawls. It is found that utility maximization requires at least as much
inequality as results from allotting resources in proportion to productivity, and typically
a good deal more. Rawlsian justice requires a greater degree of equality than
utilitarianism, particularly when the distribution of productivities across recipients has
a short upper tail, although it is insensitive to the lower tail. It also requires greater
equality when there are rapidly decreasing returns to investment in productivity, and
ironically, when people have a stronger interest in getting rich.

description: We study the entanglement spectrum of a translationally-invariant lattice system under a random partition, implemented by choosing each site to be in one subsystem with probability $p\in[0, 1]$. We apply this random partitioning to a translationally-invariant (i.e., clean) topological state, and argue on general grounds that the corresponding entanglement spectrum captures the universal behavior about its disorder-driven transition to a trivial localized phase. Specifically, as a function of the partitioning probability $p$, the entanglement Hamiltonian $H_{A}$ must go through a topological phase transition driven by the percolation of a random network of edge-states. As an example, we analytically derive the entanglement Hamiltonian for a one-dimensional topological superconductor under a random partition, and demonstrate that its phase diagram includes transitions between Griffiths phases.

description: This study conducted an analysis of muons, protons, and charged pions emitted from $ν_μ$ charged-current interactions on iron using a nuclear emulsion detector. The emulsion detector with a 65$\,$kg iron target was exposed to a neutrino beam corresponding to 4.0$\times$10$^{19}$ protons on target with a mean neutrino energy of 1.49$\,$GeV. The measurements were performed at a momentum threshold of 200 (50)$\,$MeV/$c$ for protons (pions), which are the lowest momentum thresholds attempted up to now. The measured quantities are the multiplicities, emission angles, and momenta of the muons, protons, and charged pions. In addition to these inclusive measurements, exclusive measurements such as the muon-proton emission-angle correlations of specific channels and the opening angle between the protons of CC0$π$2$p$ events were performed. The data were compared to Monte Carlo (MC) predictions and some significant differences were observed. The results of the study demonstrate the capability of detailed measurements of neutrino-nucleus interactions using a nuclear emulsion detector to improve neutrino interaction models.

Investigating Toxicant Induced Intracellular Zinc Modulation and Resultant TDP-43 Dysfunction Linked to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Creators: name: Arooji, Omeed
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: The majority of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) cases are sporadic, meaning they originate from unknown causes. This study proposes that mouse cortical neuron exposure to an environmental toxicant, here labeled TS5, induces intracellular modulation of zinc and produces dysfunctional, insoluble aggregates of TDP-43, a protein implicated in ALS pathology. Exposure of cortical neurons to TS5 alone resulted in the depletion of TDP-43 from the soluble fraction and visible bands in the insoluble fraction. Additionally, exposure to both ZnCl and TS5 resulted in higher intensity bands in the insoluble fraction and total depletion of TDP-43 from the soluble fraction. Moreover, the fluorescent dye NewPort Green was used to stain cortical neurons for cytoplasmic zinc ions. Images taken after exposure to TS5, TS5 and zinc, and zinc alone suggest that TS5 may modulate the intake of zinc into the cytoplasm by increasing its uptake. The introduction of bivalent metal chelators to exposed cortical neurons resulted in the rescue of pathological TDP-43 into the soluble fraction, serving as potential therapeutic avenues.

description: This work shows the location and study of relic populations of the Eurasian wild grapevine Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris (Gmelin) Hegi in the Asturias region (NW of the Iberian Peninsula). The comprehensive study includes the description of their habitats, of the main botanical supporters of these lianas and of the parasitic species causing them biological stress, the ampelographic description of the populations, wine elaboration from bunches of female vines and a genetic study based on 240 nuclear SNP data. The results obtained have allowed to verify the abundance of this genetic resource in the eastern and central areas of the region. The species that support this liana were different depending on the position (alluvial, colluvial or coastal) of the populations. Several ampelographic differences have been confirmed between male and female individuals. The erineum strain of Colomerus vitis (Pagenstecher) (Acari, Eryophidae) and mildews were the most frequent parasitic species found in the populations. Berries presented a low sugar content, and wines a low alcoholic content and a high total polyphenol index and colour intensity. Feral Vitaceae were found accompanying some of the sylvestris populations mainly in riverbanks and colluvial positions. The genetic study showed a clear distinction of the sylvestris vines from the most common grape varieties in the region, even though one of the sylvestris has a compatible parent-offspring relationship with the variety ‘Camaraou Noir’. The progressive reduction of this subspecies as a consequence of the human activities, plagues and diseases highlights the importance of regulating its conservation in order to avoid its extinction.

description: We consider the inverse problem of determining the Winkler subgrade reaction coefficient of a slab foundation modelled as a thin elastic plate clamped at the boundary. The plate is loaded by a concentrated force and its transversal deflection is measured at the interior points. We prove a global Hölder stability estimate under (mild) regularity assumptions on the unknown coefficient.

Molecular identification of Penicillium species associated with blue mold on grapes in German vineyards

description: Species of 788 Penicillium strains from grape bunches affected by blue mold in German wine growing regions were identified by PCR based molecular methods. P. expansum was the most common species (n = 733) on the grapes and could be identified by species specific PCR of the polygalacturonase gene certainly (Marek et al., 2003). Eleven further species, P. minoluteum, P. crustosum, P. commune, P. purpurogenum, P. solitum, P. spinulosum, P. brevicompactum, P. chrysogenum (on flower residues only), P. aurantiogriseum, P. thomii/P. purpurescens, and P. janthinellum/P. griseovulvum, could be identified by different molecular methods. However, the identification of these species and the discrimination of closely related species by ITS sequencing was time consuming and not possible in each case. Therefore, a new molecular method based on an amplification of a cytochrome oxidase gene (cox1) sequence by PCR followed by a single restriction with HpyF3I or triple digestion with HpyF3I, BspT1, and BsmI was established. This method allows a fast and reliable distinction of the most common Penicillium species occurring on affected grape bunches in German wine growing regions, and allowed a discrimination of closely related species such as P. crustosum and P. commune, respectively.

description: The interpretation of histone post-translational modifications (PTMs), specifically lysine methylation, by specific classes of "reader"proteins marks an important aspect of epigenetic control of gene expression. Methyl-lysine (Kme) readers often regulate gene expression patterns through the recognition of a specific Kme PTM while participating in or recruiting large protein complexes that contain enzymatic or chromatin remodeling activity. Understanding the composition of these Kme-reader-containing protein complexes can serve to further our understanding of the biological roles of Kme readers, while small molecule chemical tools can be valuable reagents in interrogating novel protein-protein interactions. Here, we describe our efforts to target the chromodomain of M-phase phosphoprotein 8 (MPP8), a member of the human silencing hub (HUSH) complex and a histone 3 lysine 9 trimethyl (H3K9me3) reader that is vital for heterochromatin formation and has specific roles in cancer metastasis. Utilizing a one-bead, one-compound (OBOC) combinatorial screening approach, we identified UNC5246, a peptidomimetic ligand capable of interacting with the MPP8 chromodomain in the context of the HUSH complex. Additionally, a biotinylated derivative of UNC5246 facilitated chemoproteomics studies which revealed hepatoma-derived growth factor-related protein 2 (HRP2) as a novel protein associated with MPP8. HRP2 was further shown to colocalize with MPP8 at the E-cadherin gene locus, suggesting a possible role in cancer cell plasticity.
Elliptical skyrmions: theory and nucleation by a magnetic tip in an antiskyrmion-hosting material

description: Motivated by experimental findings in [ 1 ] and [ 2 ], we find an elliptical skyrmion can be nucleated in a material with a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) that supports antiskyrmions. The DMI favors the elongation of the skyrmion along a given direction so that it is characterized by two size parameters. We derive analytical properties of the elliptical skyrmion using the Belavin-Polyakov (BP) pure exchange model. We show that the DMI which typically favors isotropic skyrmions or antiskyrmions, respectively, can also support elliptical antiskyrmions or skyrmions, respectively. Using the real material parameters extracted from [1] and including all relevant interactions, numerical computations indicate that the elliptical skyrmion can be nucleated from the stripe or labyrinth domain state by a magnetic force microscope tip in a thin film with a DMI favoring antiskyrmions that consists of at least a few atomic layers.
