description: Accessibility of telecommunication technologies by people who are deaf or hard of hearing has been a critical issue since the invention of the telephone. As both telephone and hearing-aid technologies have evolved, finding compatible solutions has been an ongoing challenge. This paper uses the findings of a longitudinal study to examine the impact of Federal hearing-aid compatibility (HAC) regulations in resolving this problem. The study ran concurrently with the phase-in of Federal Communications Commission regulations requiring that mobile handset manufacturers and wireless service providers make available minimum numbers of cell phones with shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference when cell phones are positioned close to a hearing aid user’s ear. These regulations also require package labeling and printed information to assist buyers in selecting a hearing-aid compatible phone. The survey presented here focused on changes in satisfaction with sound quality and ease of finding a hearing-aid compatible mobile handset. Data analysis suggests that the regulations have had limited success, and problems persist for consumers in locating a hearing aid compatible phone. The FCC has requested input on more stringent hearing-aid compatibility requirements; study findings suggest that these changes are not likely to remedy the problem.

description: We present the results based on photometric ($Swift$ UVOT), broad-band polarimetric ($V$ and $R$-band) and optical spectroscopic observations of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 2017hcc. Our study is supplemented with spectropolarimetric data available in literature for this event. The post-peak light curve evolution is slow ($\sim$0.2 mag 100 d$^{-1}$ in $b$-band). The spectrum of $\sim$+27 d shows a blue continuum with narrow emission lines, typical of a Type IIn SN. Archival polarization data along with the $Gaia$ DR2 distances have been utilized to evaluate the interstellar polarization (ISP) towards the SN direction which is found to be $P_{ISP}$ = 0.17 $\pm$ 0.02 per cent and $θ_{ISP}$ = 140$^{\circ}$ $\pm$ 3$^{\circ}$. To extract the intrinsic polarization of SN 2017hcc, both the observed and the literature polarization measurements were corrected for ISP. We noticed a significant decline of $\sim$3.5 per cent ($V$-band) in the intrinsic level of polarization spanning a period of $\sim$2 months. In contrast, the intrinsic polarization angles remain nearly constant at all epochs. Our study indicates a substantial variation in the degree of asymmetry in either the ejecta and/or the surrounding medium of SN 2017hcc. We also estimate a mass-loss rate of $\dot M$ = 0.12 M$_{\odot}$ yr$^{-1}$ (for $v_w$ = 20 km s$^{-1}$) which suggests that the progenitor of SN 2017hcc is most likely a Luminous Blue Variable.

The Stellar Initial Mass Function and Beyond

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A brief review is given of the basic observed features of the stellar IMF, and also of some of the theoretical ideas and simulations that may help to explain these features. The characteristic stellar mass of order one solar mass may derive from the typical masses of the observed star-forming clumps in molecular clouds, and the typical clump mass may in turn be determined mainly by the Jeans mass, as is true in many numerical simulations of cloud collapse and fragmentation. The Salpeter power law that approximates the IMF at higher masses is less well understood, but it may result from the effects of continuing gas accretion by the more massive forming stars together with the effects of interactions and mergers in dense forming stellar systems. The mass of the most massive star that forms in a cluster is observed to increase systematically with the mass of the cluster, and the most massive clusters may form stars that are massive enough to collapse completely to black holes.

description: The mutual derivation between arbitrary distribution forms of momenta and momentum components of particles produced in an isotropic emission source are systematically studied in terms of probability theory and mathematical statistics. The distributions of rapidities and pseudorapidities are expediently studied. As an example, the classical and relativistic ideal gas models are used to show these distributions by the analytic and Monte Carlo methods. As an application, the experimental rapidity and transverse momentum spectra of light flavor particles produced in high energy collisions are analyzed by a multi-component relativistic ideal gas model in which the single model can be replaced by other models and distributions.

description: Objective: In clinic, there is no effective therapy for postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Inflammation after the operation was closely associated with POCD. Methods: In this study, we explored the role of sirtuin 1 (SIRT1) in POCD. POCD in mice was induced by cardiac surgery. The mRNA and protein levels of related genes were determined by RT-PCR and western blot, respectively. Plasma concentrations of inflammatory factors were detected by ELISA. Novel object and novel location recognition tests were carried out to detect the recognition ability. Morris water maze test (MWM) was performed to detect learning and memory ability. Results: SIRT1 expression obviously decreased after POCD. SIRT1 activator SRT1720 promoted recognition ability, learning and memory ability of mice with POCD. Moreover, SRT1720 treatment greatly inhibited plasma inflammatory cytokine levels and TLR4, P65 protein expression in the hippocampus of POCD mice. Mechanically, the effect of SRT1720 on POCD was in a TLR4-dependent manner. Conclusion: SIRT1 mediates the improvement of cardiac surgery induced postoperative cognitive dysfunction via TLR4/NF-κB pathway.

description: We investigate to what extent one can use a thermodynamic description of turbulent flow as a source of stochastic kinetic energy for three-dimensional self-assembly of magnetically interacting macroscopic particles. We confirm that the speed of the objects in the flow field generated in our system obeys the Maxwell--Boltzmann distribution, and their random walk can be defined by a diffusion coefficient following from the Einstein relation. However, we discovered that the analogy with Brownian dynamics breaks down when considering the directional components of the velocity. For the vectorial components, neither the equipartition theorem, nor the Einstein relation is obeyed. Moreover, the kinetic energy estimated from the random walk of individual objects is one order of magnitude higher than the value estimated from Boltzmann statistics on the interaction between two spheres with embedded magnets. These results show that introducing stochastic kinetic energy into a self-assembly process by means of turbulent flow can to a great extent be described by standard thermodynamic theory, but anisotropies and the specific nature of the interactions need to be taken into account.

description: The objective of the study presented herein is to provide an accurate climate classification on the basis of aridity in northern Algeria. The aridity indices used in this study were the De Martonne index (IDM), the Emberger index (IEmberger), and the United Nations Environment Program index (IUNEP), generally admitted in the Mediterranean region. The data required for their calculation were taken from 37 meteorological stations, and processed in a Geographical Information System (GIS) environment to generate climate classification maps according to each index. Generally, the three indices revealed the prevalence of semi-arid conditions in the study area. Similar climate classifications were identified with the IUNEP and the IDM, while the IEmberger has identified larger arid extent. The obtained maps were then validated against the long-term soil moisture data extracted from a gridded global data set. The validation results indicated that the three indices gave very satisfactory results since they showed strong correlation coefficients with the soil moisture data. However, the IEmberger slightly outperformed the IUNEP and the IDM with coefficients of determination (R2) of 0.80, 0.78, and 0.77, respectively. The seasonal investigation of aridity allowed to identify regions and seasons in which irrigation is needed for the main crops cultivated in the study area.

description: Topological insulators (TIs) are characterized by an insulating bulk and symmetry protected bound state on their boundaries. A "strong" topological insulator is characterized by robust conducting states on \emph{all} boundaries protected by certain internal symmetries. A "weak" topological insulator (WTI) however, requires lattice translation symmetry, making it more sensitive to disorder. However, this sensitivity gives rise to interesting characteristics such as anisotropic edge modes, quantized charge polarization, and bound states appearing at dislocation defects. Despite hosting interesting features, the sensitivity of WTIs to disorder poses an experimental confirmation challenge. Here we realize a 2D magneto-mechanical metamaterial and demonstrate experimentally the unique features of a WTI. Specifically, we show that the 2D WTI is anisotropic and hosts edge modes only on certain edges, as well as hosting a bound state at a dislocation defect. We construct the 2D WTI from stacked 1D SSH chains for which we show experimentally the different gapped phases of the 1D model.

description: It is found that there exist composite media that exhibit strong spatial dispersion even in the very large wavelength limit. This follows from the study of lattices of ideally conducting parallel thin wires (wire media). In fact, our analysis reveals that the description of this medium by means of a local dispersive uniaxial dielectric tensor is not complete, leading to unphysical results for the propagation of electromagnetic waves at any frequencies. Since non--local constitutive relations have been usually considered in the past as a second order approximation, meaningful in the short wavelength limit, the aforementioned result presents a relevant theoretical interest. In addition, since such wire media have been recently used as a constituent of some discrete artificial media (or metamaterials), the reported results open the question of the relevance of the spatial dispersion in the characterization of these artificial media.

description: We generalize the technique of Lada et al. (1994) to map dust column density through a molecular cloud (NICE) to an optimized multi-band technique (NICER) that can be applied to any multi-band survey of molecular clouds. We present a first application to a ~625 deg^2 subset of the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) data and show that when compared to NICE, the optimized NICER technique (i) achieves the same extinction peak values, (ii) improves the noise variance of the map by a factor of 2 and (iii) is able to reach 3 σdust extinction measurements as low as A_V = 0.5 magnitudes, better than or equivalent to classical optical star count techniques and below the threshold column density for the formation of CO, the brightest H2 tracer in radio-spectroscopy techniques. The application of the NICER techniques to near-infrared data obtained with a 8 meter-class telescope with a state-of-the-art NIR camera, such as the VLT-ISAAC combination, will be able to achieve dynamic ranges from below 10^21 protons cm^-2 to over 10^23 protons cm^-2 (A_V in the range [0.3, 60]) and spatial resolutions < 10'', making use of a single and straightforward column density tracer, extinction by interstellar dust.

description: We investigate the long-term behavior of a random walker evolving on top of the simple symmetric exclusion process (SSEP) at equilibrium, in dimension one. At each jump, the random walker is subject to a drift that depends on whether it is sitting on top of a particle or a hole, so that its asymptotic behavior is expected to depend on the density $ρ\in [0, 1]$ of the underlying SSEP. Our first result is a law of large numbers (LLN) for the random walker for all densities $ρ$ except for at most two values $ρ_-, ρ_+ \in [0, 1]$. The asymptotic speed we obtain in our LLN is a monotone function of $ρ$. Also, $ρ_-$ and $ρ_+$ are characterized as the two points at which the speed may jump to (or from) zero. Furthermore, for all the values of densities where the random walk experiences a non-zero speed, we can prove that it satisfies a functional central limit theorem (CLT). For the special case in which the density is $1/2$ and the jump distribution on an empty site and on an occupied site are symmetric to each other, we prove a LLN with zero limiting speed. Finally, we prove similar LLN and CLT results for a different environment, given by a family of independent simple symmetric random walks in equilibrium.

description: A model is proposed to allocate Formula One World Championship prize money among the constructors. The methodology is based on pairwise comparison matrices, allows for the use of any weighting method, and makes possible to tune the level of inequality. We introduce an axiom called scale invariance, which requires the ranking of the teams to be independent of the parameter controlling inequality. The eigenvector method is revealed to violate this condition in our dataset, while the row geometric mean method always satisfies it. The revenue allocation is not influenced by the arbitrary valuation given to the race prizes in the official points scoring system of Formula One and takes the intensity of pairwise preferences into account, contrary to the standard Condorcet method. Our approach can be used to share revenues among groups when group members are ranked several times.

Radio Point Sources and the Thermal SZ Power Spectrum
Creators: name: Holder, Gilbert P.

description: Radio point sources are strongly correlated with clusters of galaxies, so a significant fraction of the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect signal could be affected by point source contamination. Based on empirical estimates of the radio galaxy population, it is shown that the rms temperature fluctuations of the thermal SZ effect could be underestimated by as much as 30% at an observing frequency of 30 GHz at l>1000. The effect is larger at higher multipoles. If the recent report of excess power at small angular scales is to be explained by the thermal SZ effect, then radio point sources at an observing frequency of 30 GHz must be a surprisingly weak contaminant of the SZ effect for low-mass clusters.

description: A structure formed by combined lattices of infinitely long wires and split-ring resonators is studied. A dispersion equation is derived and then used to calculate the effective permittivity and permeability in the frequency band where the lattice can be homogenized. The backward wave region in which both the effective permittivity and permeability are negative is analyzed. Some open and controversial questions are discussed. It is shown that previous experimental results confirming the existence of backward waves in such a structure can be in deed explained in terms of negative material parameters. However, these parameters are not quasi-static and thus the known analytical formulas for the effective material parameters of this structure, which have been widely used and discussed in the literature, were not correct, and it was the reason of some objections to the authors of that experiment.

Dactyls, propodi of pereopods 2, 3 equal in length, slender, with marginal setae. Abdomen straight. Telson symmetrical, with deep lateral, terminal notch flanked with 4 or more strong teeth.Uropods symmetrical. Carapace length 5.6 m.
 Color in life. Major cheliped with dark red ischium, merus, carpus light golden but covered with dark red spots on spines, teeth; chela dark red with whitish apices to fingers. Minor cheliped light golden but covered with small red dots, pereopods 2, 3 similar but merus of each dark red. Eyestalk, first antennae dark red with irregular white bands. Antennae dark red near base, golden distally. Hart (1982) gave an extensive description of the living color.
 Habitat and depth. Rocks or broken shell and gravel, 11–64 m, rarely cast ashore after storms.
 Range. Tartar Strait and East Sakhalin; Skidegate, Queen Charlotte Sound, British Columbia to San Diego, California. Type locality off San Diego.
 Remarks. This hermit crab often inhabits tubes of polychaetes or the tube mollusk Serpulorbis squamigerus (Carpenter, 1857), or shells of Dentalium spp. On rare occasions, one will inhabit a coiled shell, but the crab moves awkwardly and will vacate such a shell quickly if offered a suitable tube.

description: In order to explore a new mulch-free maize planting mode and the best seedling age for maize transplantation in Shanxi early mature area, a field experiment was carried out using completely randomized block design. Taking mulch based direct sowing as the control group, effects of transplantation in different seedling age on maize growing process, plant height, yield and composition factors of maize were analyzed. Results indicate that growing process of maize seedlings transplanted in different seedling age is slightly slower than the control group. Transplantation has effect of reducing plant height. Although the yield of transplanted maize in different seedling area is lower than the control group. Besides, with the growth of seedling age of transplantation, the gap is widening. However, through transplantation, it is expected to realize mulch-free maize planting in Shanxi early mature area. The yield of maize transplanted in two-leaf seedling age is not significantly different from the control group, and the yield is only 9% lower than the mulch-based direct sowing (CK). In conclusion, two-leaf period is the best seedling transplantation age for maize in Shanxi early mature area in this experiment condition.

description: In this work we show the presence of a magnetoelectric coupling in silicon-nitride gated Pt/Co/Pt heterostructures using X-ray photoemission electron microscopy (XPEEM). We observe a change in magnetic anisotropy in the form of domain wall nucleation and a change in the rate of domain wall fluctuation as a function of the applied electric field to the sample. We also observe the coexistence of in-plane and out of plane magnetization in Pt/Co/Pt heterostructures in a region around the spin reorientation transition whose formation is attributed to substrate surface roughness comparable to the film thickness; with such domain configuration, we find that the in-plane magnetization is more sensitive to the applied electric field than out of plane magnetization. Although we find an effective magnetoelectric coupling in our system, the presence of charge defects in the silicon nitride membranes hampers a systematic electrostatic control of the magnetization.

description: In the meantime, around 2,000 BCE hunter-gatherers-herders from the Eurasian steppes (Yamnaya people) crossed the Khyber pass to enter the Indian sub-continent; these we have called the brāmhaṇ. They are supposed to have headed for the Sarasvatī valley, which was by then the ‘graveyard’ of a civilization. Did the brāmhaṇ really settle in the Sarasvatī valley ? Or, did they just push to the upper reaches of the Yamunā, and then down along its course into the Yamunā - Gangā doab ? At least that is what we see in the Harappan Timeline maps and the Saṁskṛt texts. The onward march of the brāmhaṇ eastwards into the Indo-Gangetic-Brahmaputra plain and up to Tāmiḷākam in the south is history.

description: The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) is patchily distributed across parts of Africa and Arabia. In Oman, it is one of the few free-ranging wild mammals found in the central and southern regions. Its population is declining due to habitat degradation, human expansion, poaching and fragmentation. Here, we investigated the population's genetic diversity using mitochondrial DNA (D-loop 186 bp and cytochrome b 487 bp). We found that the Nubian ibex in the southern region of Oman was more diverse (D-loop HD; 0.838) compared to the central region (0.511) and gene flow between them was restricted. We compared the genetic profiles of wild Nubian ibex from Oman with captive ibex. A Bayesian phylogenetic tree showed that wild Nubian ibex form a distinct clade independent from captive animals. This divergence was supported by high mean distances (D-loop 0.126, cytochrome b 0.0528) and high FST statistics (D-loop 0.725, cytochrome b 0.968). These results indicate that captive ibex are highly unlikely to have originated from the wild population in Oman and the considerable divergence suggests that the wild population in Oman should be treated as a distinct taxonomic unit. Further nuclear genetic work will be required to fully elucidate the degree of global taxonomic divergence of Nubian ibex populations.
