description: The distance determination of small Bok globules is often difficult because of its small size and opaqueness. In this work, we determine the distances to six small Bok globules CB 17, CB 24, CB 188, CB 224, CB 230 and CB 240 using near infra red photometry (2MASS $JHK_S$ colors). The distances to these clouds are estimated to be $478 \pm 88$, $293 \pm 54$, $262 \pm 49$, $378 \pm 70$, $293 \pm 54$ and $429 \pm 79$ parsec respectively.

Does the “green box” of the European Union distort global markets?

description: The vast majority of domestic support to farmers in the European Union (EU) is notified in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) green box as decoupled payments. The EU considers this support to minimally distort production and/or trade. As demonstrated in the literature, this claim is questionable. This paper aims at analyzing this claim using a global, spatially differentiated, partial equilibrium simulation model with endogenous land supply functions. Comparing a complete elimination of the EU green box measures with a baseline scenario, the model results indicate only small distortionary effects in production and trade. Hence, EU support notified to the green box seems to be compatible with the general requirements of the green box. The finding seems to result from the assumption of unchanged EU border policies.

description: These files are supplementary material for a submitted manuscript. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated higher risks of cardiovascular disease in humans exposed to heat stroke earlier in life. Previously, we explored mechanistic links between heat stroke and developing cardiac abnormalities using a preclinical mouse model of exertional heat stroke (EHS). Profound metabolic abnormalities developed in the ventricles of females after two weeks that were not seen in males. Here we test whether this lack of response in males could be due to lower exercise performance in the heat or reduced thermal loads. Three groups of eight adult C57Bl/6 male mice were trained to run on forced running wheels and exposed to EHS while in different environmental temperatures (Te) until symptom limitation, occurring at max core temperature (Tc,max). After a 2-wk. recovery, the mice were euthanized and ventricles removed for untargeted metabolomics. Results were compared against age-matched controls. The exercise-matched mice (EXM-EHS; Te = 34°C) greatly elevated their exercise responses, but reached lower Tc,max and experienced lower thermal loads compared to mice exposed to the original model (O-EHS, Te = 39.5°C). HM-EHS mice (Te = 41°C) exhibited greater thermal loads. The ventricles from EXM-EHS mice exhibited more profound metabolic disturbances compared to O-EHS and HM-EHS mice, including shifts toward glucose metabolism, reductions in acylcarnitines, increased amino acid metabolites, elevations in antioxidants, altered TCA cycle flux and increased xenobiotics. In conclusion, metabolic disturbances following EHS in male ventricular myocardium resembled previously observed changes in female mice, but only when exposed to equivalent levels of exercise or thermal loads.

description: We present results for the topological susceptibility at nonzero temperature obtained from lattice QCD with four dynamical quark flavours. We apply different smoothing methods, including gradient Wilson flow and over--improved cooling, before calculating the susceptibility. It is shown that the considered smoothing techniques basically agree among each other, and that there are simple scaling relations between flow time and the number of cooling/smearing steps. The topological susceptibility exhibits a surprisingly slow decrease at high temperature.

description: (Abridged) There is a diverse chemical inventory in protostellar regions leading to the classification of extreme types of systems. Warm carbon chain chemistry sources, for one, are the warm and dense regions near a protostar containing unsaturated carbon chain molecules. Since the presentation of this definition in 2008, there is a growing field to detect and characterise these sources. The details are lesser known in relation to hot cores and in high-mass star-forming regions -- regions of great importance in galactic evolution. To investigate the prevalence of carbon chain species and their environment in high-mass star-forming regions, we have conducted targeted spectral surveys of two sources in the direction of Cygnus X -- AFGL 2591 and IRAS 20126+4104 -- with the Green Bank Telescope and the IRAM 30m Telescope. We have constructed a Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium (LTE) model using the observed molecular spectra to determine the physical environment in which these molecules originate. We map both the observed spatial distribution and the physical parameters found from the LTE model. We also determine the formation routes of these molecules in each source using the three-phase NAUTILUS chemical evolution code. We detect several lines of propyne, CH$_3$CCH, and cyclopropenylidene, $c$-C$_3$H$_2$ as tracers of carbon chain chemistry, as well as several lines of formaldehyde, H$_2$CO, and methanol, CH$_3$OH, as a precursor and a tracer of complex organic molecule chemistry, respectively. We find excitation temperatures of 20-30 K for the carbon chains and 8-85 K for the complex organics. The CH$_3$CCH abundances are reproduced by a warm-up model, consistent with warm carbon chain chemistry, while the observed CH$_3$OH abundances require a shock mechanism sputtering the molecules into the gas phase.

description: The present work constitutes the second part of a two-paper project that, in particular, deals with an in-depth study of effective techniques used in econometrics in order to make accurate forecasts in the concrete framework of one of the major economies of the most productive Italian area, namely the province of Verona. It is worth mentioning that this region is indubitably recognized as the core of the commercial engine of the whole Italian country. This is why our analysis has a concrete impact; it is based on real data, and this is also the reason why particular attention has been taken in treating the relevant economical data and in choosing the right methods to manage them to obtain good forecasts. In particular, we develop an approach mainly based on vector autoregression where lagged values of two or more variables are considered, Granger causality, and the stochastic trend approach useful to work with the cointegration phenomenon.

description: In the beginning of the 20th century new theories on the importance of fakes in art have appeared. Aesthetics, art history, culture sciences, sociology, economic and legal studies, interdisciplinary approaches and academic debates reintroduced the issue from a new perspective that treated fakes favorably and promoted them as a new kind of historical document. This paper, through a linguistic, historical and philosophical analysis of the terminology, attempts to test these theories and explain why, although forgery is an aspect of human creativity, in terms of real life and history, it is a nihilistic and disorientating phenomenon and should be treated as such.

description: Three-dimensional higher-order topological insulators can have topologically protected chiral modes propagating on their hinges. Hinges with two co-propagating chiral modes can serve as a "beam splitter" between hinges with only a single chiral mode. Here we show how such a crystal, with Ohmic contacts attached to its hinges, can be used to realize a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. We present concrete calculations for a lattice model of a first-order topological insulator in a magnetic field, which, for a suitable choice of parameters, is an extrinsic second-order topological insulator with the required configuration of chiral hinge modes.

description: La Mer du Japon/Mer de l’Est est une mer seuillée qui a répondu de façon très sensible aux changements paléo-océanographiques et climatiques tout au long de son évolution. Elle constitue donc un bon site d’étude pour comprendre le comportement dynamique des mers marginales en réponse aux variations climatiques, eustatiques, tectoniques à la surface du globe. En 1989, des expéditions ODP (Legs 127/128) ont apporté des informations nouvelles sur l’évolution géodynamique du bassin. Les conditions géologiques n’ont pas été constantes depuis que Mer du Japon/Mer de l’Est s’est formée en tant que mer marginale, large et profonde, mais les conditions pale océanographiques semblent avoir fluctuées sensiblement en réponse aux changements locaux, régionaux ou globaux. L’expédition IODP 346 réalisée en 2013 a foré de nouveaux sites en différents points de la mer du Japon. Les enregistrements sédimentaires remontés constituent une archive sans précédent pour comprendre l’histoire paléogéographique du bassin et sa réponse aux différents forçages tectoniques, climatiques et eustatiques. Les sédiments hémipélagiques de ce bassin consistent essentiellement en des alternances de niveaux riches en sédiments terrigènes (argiles) et biogéniques (diatomées) en quantités variables. Ce travail repose sur l’analyse de ces dépôts issus de deux puits (U1425B et U1430B) forés dans le bassin profond et couvrant un intervalle de temps allant du Miocène supérieur à l’actuel. Les questions clés posées lors de cette étude sont les suivantes: 1. Quelle est l’expression des dépôts hémipélagiques sur les données étudiées ? 2. Les enregistrements étudiés contiennent ils des cyclicités d’origine astronomiques (cycles de Milankovitch) ? Quelle est leur variabilité ? 3. Quel sont les facteurs de contrôle à l’origine des enregistrements sédimentaires et des cyclicités observés? Pour répondre à ces questions ce mémoire est basé sur un ensemble des données issues de l’expédition IODP 346 (données de géophysique en forage (Gamma ray et FMS)) et par analyse en ondelette. Ce mémoire a été organisé en 4 parties principales: - Dans une première section, un état des connaissances est réalisé sur les études paleoclimatiques globales, et géologiques locales du bassin du Japon. - Une seconde section est proposée pour décrire les données et la méthodologie. - Une troisième section est consacrée à la présentation des résultats des données de géophysique en forage et des analyses en ondelettes. - Finalement, une discussion est proposée à la fin.

description: Multi-band (B, V and R) photometric and spectroscopic observations of six poorly studied contact binaries carried out at the Western Sydney University and Las Cumbres Observatory were analysed using a recent version of the Wilson-Devenney code. All six were found to be of extreme low mass ratio ranging from 0.073 to 0.149. All are of F spectral class with the mass of the primary component ranging from 1.05Msun to 1.48Msun. None show light curve features of enhanced choromospheric activity (O'Connell Effect) however five of the six do have significant ultraviolet excess indicating presence of increased magnetic and chromospheric activity. Period analysis based on available survey data suggests two systems have a slowly increasing period suggesting mass transfer from the secondary to the primary, two have a slow declining period with likely mass transfer from primary to the secondary while one shows a steady period and one undergoing transition from a declining to increasing period suggesting possible mass transfer reversal. We also compare light curve solutions against theoretical markers of orbital stability and show that three of six systems have mass ratios within the theoretical instability limit and maybe regarded as potential merger candidates.

The measured branching ratio R(Lambda_b) = 0.501 pm 0.033$ (stat) pm 0.019 (syst) was found to be lower than the covariant quark model prediction of R(Lambda_b) = 0.8 pm 0.1 calculated by us recently. We present a detailed analysis of the branching ratio R(Lambda_b) using a model-independent framework for the heavy-to-light form factors based on results from our previos papers.

description: For a pair of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in the remnant of a dual galaxy merger, well-known models exist to describe their dynamical evolution until the final coalescence accompanied by the emission of a low-frequency gravitational wave (GW) signal. In this article, we investigate the dynamical evolution of three SMBH triple systems recovered from the ROMULUS25 cosmological simulation to explore common dynamical evolution patterns and assess typical coalescence times. For this purpose, we construct initial conditions from the ROMULUS25 data and perform high-resolution gravitodynamical \N-body simulations. We track the orbital evolution from the galactic inspiral to the formation of hard binaries at sub-parsec separation and use the observed hardening rates to project the time of coalescence. In all cases, the two heaviest black holes form an efficiently hardening binary that merges within fractions of the Hubble time. The lightest SMBH either gets ejected, forms a stable hierarchical triple system with the heavier binary, forms a hardening binary with the previously merged binary's remnant, or remains on a wide galactic orbit. The coalescence times of the lighter black holes are thus significantly longer than for the heavier binary, as they experience lower dynamical friction and stellar hardening rates. We observe the formation of hierarchical triples when the density profile of the galactic nucleus is sufficiently steep.

Widespread disruptive selection in the wild is associated with intense resource competition
Creators: name: Pfennig, David William
name: Martin, Ryan A
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2012

description: Abstract: Background: Disruptive selection has been documented in a growing number of natural populations. Yet, its prevalence within individual systems remains unclear. Furthermore, few studies have sought to identify the ecological factors that promote disruptive selection in the wild. To address these issues, we surveyed 15 populations of Mexican spadefoot toad tadpoles, Spea multiplicata, and measured the prevalence of disruptive selection acting on resource-use phenotypes. We also evaluated the relationship between the strength of disruptive selection and the intensity of intraspecific competition--an ecological agent hypothesized to be an important driver of disruptive selection. Results: Disruptive selection was the predominant mode of quadratic selection across all populations. However, a directional component of selection favoring an extreme ecomorph -- a distinctive carnivore morph -- was also common. Disruptive selection was strongest in populations experiencing the most intense intraspecific competition, whereas stabilizing selection was only found in populations experiencing relatively weak intraspecific competition. Conclusions: Disruptive selection can be common in natural populations. Intraspecific competition for resources may be a key driver of such selection.

description: We measure telegraph noise of current fluctuations in an electrostatically defined quantum dot in bilayer graphene by real-time detection of single electron tunneling with a capacitively coupled neighboring quantum dot. Suppression of the second and third cumulant (related to shot noise) in a tunable graphene quantum dot is demonstrated experimentally. With this method we demonstrate the ability to measure very low current and noise levels. Furthermore, we use this method to investigate the first spin excited state, an essential prerequisite to measure spin relaxation.

The effect of family sex composition on fertility desires and family planning behaviors in urban Uttar Pradesh, India
Creators: name: Calhoun, Lisa M
name: Speizer, Ilene
Publisher: name: BioMed Central Ltd
Year: 2013

description: Background: A cultural preference for sons has been well documented in India, resulting in skewed sex ratios,
especially exhibited in northwest India. Previous research has shown that family sex composition is associated with
family planning (FP) use and couples’ desire for more children. This study examines family sex composition and
fertility and FP behaviors in urban Uttar Pradesh, India; little work has examined these issues in urban settings
where family sizes are smaller and FP use is common.
Methods: Data for this analysis comes from a 2010 representative survey of married, non-pregnant fecund women
aged 15–49 from six cities in Uttar Pradesh, India. Multivariate analyses are used to examine the association
between family sex composition and fertility desires and FP use.
Results: The multivariate results indicate that family sex composition is associated with fertility desires and FP use.
Women without living children and without at least one child of each sex are significantly less likely to want no
more children and women with both sons and daughters but more sons are significantly more likely to want no
more children as compared to women that have both sons and daughters but more daughters. Women with no
living children and women with daughters but no sons are less likely to be modern FP users than nonusers
whereas women with both sons and daughters but more sons are more likely to be modern FP users than
nonusers as compared to women with both sons and daughters but more daughters.
Conclusions: These findings confirm that family sex composition affects fertility behavior and also reveals that
preference for sons persists in urban Uttar Pradesh. These results underscore the importance of programs and
policies that work to enhance the value of girl children.

description: The concept of ‘bioeconomy’ is receiving increased attention in policy and business circles. The European Commission (EC) has initiated the Bioeconomy Strategy which is a signal of intent that the EU seeks to meet the challenge of reconciling responsible-resource usage respecting sustainability criteria, with wealth-generation. To this aim, the EC’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) has been entrusted to implement a Bioeconomy Information Systems Observatory within which the objective is to develop an ongoing coherent picture of the activities of this sector, whilst developing forward-looking tools of analysis to help respond to the aforementioned challenge. This paper provides a discussion on the research activities which are currently under development at the JRC. Whilst the scale of ambition of the Bioeconomy Observatory is significant, it is recognised that much of the research conducted so-far remains work-in-progress and is therefore only a starting point to fully capturing the nuances of this diverse and complex sector.

description: The Atacama Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (AtLAST) aims to be the premier next generation large diameter (50 meter) single dish observatory capable of observations across the millimeter/submillimeter spectrum, from 30~GHz to 1~THz. AtLAST will be sited in Chile at approximately 5100 meters above sea level, high in the Atacama Desert near Llano de Chajnantor. The novel rocking-chair telescope design allows for a unprecedentedly wide field of view (FoV) of 1-2$^\circ$ diameter, a large receiver cabin housing six major instruments, and high structural stability during fast scanning operations (up to $\sim 3^\circ$ per second in azimuth). Here we describe the current status of, and expected outcomes for, the antenna design study, which will be completed in 2024.

description: Stylized characteristics, such as loss aversion, risk aversion for gains, risk seeking for losses, overweighting of small probabilities, and diminishing sensitivity permeate both popular science and scholarly treatises about how ‘people’ make decisions. This note highlights that behavioral decision research is, in effect, a large-scale Linda problem: The likelihood that a given individual satisfies the conjunction of many such stylized characteristics may be vanishingly small. We concentrate on a case study, namely the pervasive oversimplifications surrounding Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman’s Prospect Theory and Cumulative Prospect Theory. Focussing entirely on evidence from within the original papers, we show that each and every person may be a exception to (Cumulative) Prospect Theory as advertised. Similar problems afflict many other behavioral research paradigms. We call on scholars to relinquish overly simplified characterizations of choice behavior. Telling practitioners and laypersons in stylized fashion how ‘people’ think promotes conjunction fallacies on a huge scale. Rather than conceptualize individual differences as a mere add-on to a schematic decision theory of central tendencies, decision scholars should recognize heterogeneity as a major theoretical primitive when proposing new theories.

description: We study statistics of the gaps in Random Average Process (RAP) on a ring with particles hopping symmetrically, except one tracer particle which could be driven. These particles hop either to the left or to the right by a random fraction $η$ of the space available till next particle in the respective directions. The random fraction $η\in [0,~1)$ is chosen from a distribution $R(η)$. For non-driven tracer, when $R(η)$ satisfies a necessary and sufficient condition, the stationary joint distribution of the gaps between successive particles takes an universal form that is factorized except for a global constraint. Some interesting explicit forms of $R(η)$ are found which satisfy this condition. In case of driven tracer, the system reaches a current-carrying steady state where such factorization does not hold. Analytical progress has been made in the thermodynamic limit, where we computed the single site mass distribution inside the bulk. We have also computed the two point gap-gap correlation exactly in that limit. Numerical simulations support our analytical results.

description: Context. The detection of Earth-like planets with the radial-velocity (RV) method is extremely challenging today due to the presence of non-Doppler signatures such as stellar activity and instrumental signals that mimic and hide the signals of exoplanets. In a previous paper, we presented the YARARA pipeline, which implements corrections for telluric absorption, stellar activity and instrumental systematics at the spectral level, then extracts line-by-line (LBL) RVs with significantly better precision than standard pipelines. Aims. In this paper, we demonstrate that further gains in RVs precision can be achieved by performing Principal Component Analysis (PCA) decomposition on the LBL RVs. Methods. The mean-insensitive nature of PCA means that it is unaffected by true Doppler shifts, and thus can be used to isolate and correct nuisance signals other than planets. Results. We analysed the data of 20 intensively observed HARPS targets by applying our PCA approach on the LBL RVs obtained by YARARA. The first principal components show similarities across most of the stars and correspond to newly identified instrumental systematics, which we can now correct for. For several targets, this results in an unprecedented RV root-mean-square of around 90 cm/s over the full lifetime of HARPS. We use the corrected RVs to confirm a previously published 120-day signal around 61Vir, and to detect a Super-Earth candidate (K = 60 +/- 6 cm/s, m sin i = 6.6 +/- 0.7 Earth mass) around the G6V star HD20794, which spends part of its 600-day orbit within the habitable zone of the host star. Conclusions. This study highlights the potential of LBL PCA to identify and correct hitherto unknown, long-term instrumental effects and thereby extend the sensitivity of existing and future instruments towards the Earth analogue regime.

description: Abstract Background The expanding set of genomics tools available for inbred mouse strains has renewed interest in phenotyping larger sets of strains. The present study aims to explore phenotypic variability among six commonly-used inbred mouse strains to both the rewarding and locomotor stimulating effects of cocaine in a place conditioning task, including several strains or substrains that have not yet been characterized for some or all of these behaviors. Methods C57BL/6J (B6), BALB/cJ (BALB), C3H/HeJ (C3H), DBA/2J (D2), FVB/NJ (FVB) and 129S1/SvImJ (129) mice were tested for conditioned place preference to 20 mg/kg cocaine. Results Place preference was observed in most strains with the exception of D2 and 129. All strains showed a marked increase in locomotor activity in response to cocaine. In BALB mice, however, locomotor activation was context-dependent. Locomotor sensitization to repeated exposure to cocaine was most significant in 129 and D2 mice but was absent in FVB mice. Conclusions Genetic correlations suggest that no significant correlation between conditioned place preference, acute locomotor activation, and locomotor sensitization exists among these strains indicating that separate mechanisms underlie the psychomotor and rewarding effects of cocaine.

description: The study reports photometric and spectroscopic observations of two recently recognised contact binary systems. Both systems show total eclipses and analysis of the light curves indicate both have a very low mass ratios of less than 0.3. We derive absolute parameters from colour and distance based calibrations and show that although both have low mass ratios they are likely to be in a stable orbit and unlikely to merge. In other respects both systems have characteristics similar to other contact binaries with the secondary larger and brighter than main sequence counterparts and we also find that the secondary is considerably denser than the primary in both systems.

description: ABSTRACT Objective To describe and contrast individual state nutrition and physical activity regulations related to childhood obesity for child care centers and family child care homes in the United States. Methods We conducted a review of regulations for child care facilities for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We examined state regulations and recorded key nutrition and physical activity items that may contribute to childhood obesity. Items included in this review were: 1) Water is freely available; 2) Sugar-sweetened beverages are limited; 3) Foods of low nutritional value are limited; 4) Children are not forced to eat; 5) Food is not used as a reward; 6) Support is provided for breastfeeding and provision of breast milk; 7) Screen time is limited; and 8) Physical activity is required daily. Results Considerable variation exists among state nutrition and physical activity regulations related to obesity. Tennessee had six of the eight regulations for child care centers, and Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, and Nevada had five of the eight regulations. Conversely, the District of Columbia, Idaho, Nebraska and Washington had none of the eight regulations. For family child care homes, Georgia and Nevada had five of the eight regulations; Arizona, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and West Virginia had four of the eight regulations. California, the District of Columbia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, and Nebraska did not have any of the regulations related to obesity for family child care homes. Conclusion Many states lack specific nutrition and physical activity regulations related to childhood obesity for child care facilities. If widely implemented, enhancing state regulations could help address the obesity epidemic in young children in the United States.
Tighter PAC-Bayes Generalisation Bounds by Leveraging Example Difficulty

description: We introduce a modified version of the excess risk, which can be used to obtain tighter, fast-rate PAC-Bayesian generalisation bounds. This modified excess risk leverages information about the relative hardness of data examples to reduce the variance of its empirical counterpart, tightening the bound. We combine this with a new bound for $[-1, 1]$-valued (and potentially non-independent) signed losses, which is more favourable when they empirically have low variance around $0$. The primary new technical tool is a novel result for sequences of interdependent random vectors which may be of independent interest. We empirically evaluate these new bounds on a number of real-world datasets.
