description: The main aim of this research was to establish the nucleotide sequence of the highly variable region of the D loop of the mitochondrial DNA of some Georgian domestic animal species (cattle, goat, sheep) as well as their phylogenetic position among the worldwide set of domestic animals. In this study, a total of 5 haplogroups (T – 5; T3 – 7; T1 – 1; T2 – 2; T5 – 2) in 17 Georgian Mountain cattle (GMC), 4 haplogroups (A – 15; A2a1 – 3; A1a – 1; A6 – 3) in 22 Georgian goats and 3 haplogroups (A – 10; B – 16; C -15) in 41 Georgian sheeps (15 Imeretian and 26 Tushetian) were detected. This study represents the first attempt of Genetic study of native Georgian livestocks. The GMC, Georgian (Megrelian) goat, Georgian (Imeretian and Tushetian) sheep mitogenomes were grouped phylogenetically in the haplogroups indicating the closeness to the Near Eastern animals.

description: In a broad class of scenarios, inflation is followed by an extended era of matter-dominated expansion during which the inflaton condensate is nonrelativistic on subhorizon scales. During this phase density perturbations grow to the point of nonlinearity and collapse into bound structures. This epoch strongly resembles structure formation with ultra-light axion-like particles. This parallel permits us to adapt results from studies of cosmological structure formation to describe the nonlinear dynamics of this post-inflationary epoch. We show that the inflaton condensate fragments into "inflaton clusters", analogues of axion dark matter halos in present-day cosmology. Moreover, solitonic objects or "inflaton stars" can form inside these clusters, leading to density contrasts as large as $10^6$ in the post-inflationary universe.

description: The lanthanum copper oxide, La2CuO4, which is an end member of the prototype high-Tc superconductors (La,Sr)2CuO4 and (La,Ba)2CuO4, crystallizes in the "K2NiF4" structure in high-temperature bulk synthesis. The crystal chemistry, however, predicts that La2CuO4 is at the borderline of the K2NiF4 stability and that it can crystallize in the Nd2CuO4 structure at low synthesis temperatures. In this article we demonstrate that low-temperature thin-film synthesis actually crystallizes La2CuO4 in the Nd2CuO4 structure. We also show that the phase control of "K2NiF4"-type La2CuO4 versus "Nd2CuO4"-type La2CuO4 can be achieved by varying the synthesis temperature and using different substrates.

description: Innovative numerical scheme studied in this work enables to overcome two main limitations of Building Performance Simulation (BPS) programs as high computational cost and the choice of a very fine numerical grid. The method, called Super-Time-Stepping (STS), is novel to the state-of-the-art of building simulations, but has already proved to be sufficiently efficient in recent studies from anisotropic heat conduction in astrophysics (Meyer et al. 2014). The given research is focused on employment of this adopted numerical method to model drying of a rammed earth wall with an additional insulation layer. The results show considerable advantage of the STS method compared to standard Euler explicit scheme. It is possible to choose at least 100 times bigger time-steps to maintain high accuracy and to cut computational cost by more than 92% in the same time.

description: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a condition whereby a fetus is unable to achieve its genetically determined potential size. IUGR is a global health challenge due to high mortality and morbidity amongst affected neonates. It is a multifactorial condition caused by maternal, fetal, placental, and genetic confounders. Babies born of diabetic pregnancies are usually large for gestational age but under certain conditions whereby prolonged uncontrolled hyperglycemia leads to placental dysfunction, the outcome of the pregnancy is an intrauterine growth restricted fetus with clinical features of malnutrition. Placental dysfunction leads to undernutrition and hypoxia, which triggers gene modification in the developing fetus due to fetal adaptation to adverse utero environmental conditions. Thus, in utero genemodification results in future cardiovascular programming in postnatal and adult life. Ongoing research aims to broaden our understanding of the molecular mechanisms and pathological pathways involved in fetal programming due to IUGR. There is a need for the development of effective preventive and therapeutic strategies for the management of growth-restricted infants. Information on the mechanisms involved with in utero epigenetic modification leading to development of cardiovascular disease in adult life will increase our understanding and allow the identification of susceptible individuals as well as the design of targeted prevention strategies. This article aims to systematically review the latest molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of IUGR in cardiovascular programming. Animal models of IUGR that used nutrient restriction and hypoxia to mimic the clinical conditions in humans of reduced flow of nutrients and oxygen to the fetus will be discussed in terms of cardiac remodeling and epigenetic programming of cardiovascular disease. Experimental evidence of long-term fetal programming due to IUGR will also be included.

description: We illustrate the application of linear measurement error models to calibrate echocardiography measurements acquired 20 years apart in the CARDIA study. Of 4242 echocardiograms acquired at Year-5 (1990–1991), 36% were reread 20 years later. Left ventricular (LV) mass and 8 other measurements were assessed. A machine reproducibility study including 96 additional patients also compared Year-5 and Year-25 equipment. A linear measurement error model was developed to calibrate the original Year-5 measurements, incorporating the additional Year-5 reread and machine reproducibility study data, and adjusting for differences among readers and machines. Median (quartiles) of original Year-5 LV mass was 144.4 (117.6, 174.2) g before and 129.9 (103.8, 158.6) g, after calibration. The correlation between original and calibrated LV mass was 0.989 (95% confidence interval: 0.988, 0.990). The original and calibrated measurements had similar distributions. Additional comparisons of original and calibrated data supported the use of the model. We conclude that systematic differences among readers and machines have been accounted for, and that the calibrated Year-5 measurements can be used in future longitudinal comparisons. It is hoped that this paper will encourage the wider application of measurement error models.

description: We outline the unique role of a muon collider as a Higgs factory for Higgs boson resonance production in the $s$-channel. Physics examples include: the precision measurements of the Higgs mass and total width, and the resulting ability to discriminate between the SM-like Higgs bosons of different models such as between a light SM Higgs boson and the light Higgs boson of the MSSM; the determination of the spin and coupling via the $h\to \tautau$ decay mode; differentiation of two nearly degenerate heavy Higgs bosons by an energy scan; and the ability to explore a general extended Higgs sector, possibly with CP-violating couplings. The muon collider Higgs factory could perform measurements that would be highly complementary to Higgs studies at the LHC and LC; it would be likely to play a very crucial role in fully understanding the Higgs sector.

description: Subfamily Epictinae Hedges, Adalsteinsson, & Branch, New Subfamily   Type genus. Epictia Gray, 1845: 139.
 Diagnosis. Compared with other subfamilies, members of this subfamily tend to have short, thick tails, and the fewest subcaudal scales: relative tail length is 2.1–11.5% total length versus 4.1–18.9% in the Leptotyphlopinae; tail shape is 1.3–6.1 versus 3.2–11.7; and subcaudals number 8–30 versus 12–58 in the Leptotyphlopinae (Table 2; Fig. 5). All leptotyphlopids with more than two supralabials and more than 14 midbody scale rows are in this subfamily. The support for this group was 44% BP and 0% PP for the fourgene tree (Fig. 3) and 94% BP and 100% PP for the nine-gene tree (Fig. 4).
 Content. Two tribes, three subtribes, eight genera, and 62 species (Table 1).
 Distribution. The subfamily is distributed in the New World and in equatorial Africa. In the New World it ranges from North America (California, Utah, and Kansas) south through Middle and South America (exclusive of the high Andes) to Uruguay and Argentina on the Atlantic side. It also occurs on San Salvador Island (Bahamas), Hispaniola, the Lesser Antilles, Cozumel Island (Mexico), Islas de Bahia and Swan Islands (Honduras), San Andres and Providencia Islands (Colombia), Bonaire, Margarita Islands, and Trinidad. It also occurs in equatorial Africa, from southern Senegal, Guinea, and Bioko Island in the west to Ethiopia in the east.
 Remarks. The inclusion of six African species (all but one from West Africa) in this otherwise New World group (Table 1; Figs. 3–4) was surprising, and was not found in morphological analyses of visceral and other data (Wallach 1998). Nonetheless, the unusually high scale row count (16) of Rhinoleptus has been recorded in two other New World genera in this subfamily, Mitophis n. gen and Tetracheilostoma (Table 2). Also, the West African members of Epictinae have relatively short and thick tails, low subcaudal counts, and high supralabial counts as in New World Epictinae but in contrast to other Old World leptotyphlopids (Subfamily Leptotyphlopinae).

description: The effect of different boost expressions is considered for the calculation of the ground-state form factor of a two-body system made of scalar particles interacting via the exchange of a scalar boson. The aim is to provide an uncertainty range on methods employed in implementing these effects as well as an insight on their relevance when an ``exact'' calculation is possible. Using a wave function corresponding to a mass operator that has the appropriate properties to construct the generators of the Poincaré algebra in the framework of relativistic quantum mechanics, form factors are calculated using the boost transformations pertinent to the instant, front and point forms of this approach. Moderately and strongly bound systems are considered with masses of the exchanged boson taken as zero, 0.15 times the constituent mass $m$, and infinity. In the first and last cases, a comparison with ``exact'' calculations is made (Wick-Cutkosky model and Feynman triangle diagram). Results with a Galilean boost are also given. Momentum transfers up to $Q^2=100 m^2$ are considered. Emphasis is put on the contribution of the single-particle current, as usually done. It is found that the present point-form calculations of form factors strongly deviate from all the other ones, requiring large contributions from two-body currents. Different implementations of the point-form approach, where the role of these two-body currents would be less important, are sketched.

description: In view of the fundamental importance and many promising potential applications, non-Abelian statistics of topologically protected states have attracted much attention recently. However, due to the operational difficulties in solid-state materials, experimental realization of non-Abelian statistics is lacking. The superconducting quantum circuit system is scalable and controllable, and thus is a promising platform for quantum simulation. Here we propose a scheme to demonstrate non-Abelian statistics of topologically protected zero-energy edge modes on a chain of superconducting circuits. Specifically, we can realize topological phase transition by varying the hopping strength and magnetic field in the chain, and the realized non-Abelian operation can be used in topological quantum computation. Considering the advantages of the superconducting quantum circuits, our protocol may shed light on quantum computation via topologically protected states.

Covariant Calculation of General Relativistic Effects in an Orbiting Gyroscope Experiment

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We carry out a covariant calculation of the measurable relativistic effects in an orbiting gyroscope experiment. The experiment, currently known as Gravity Probe B, compares the spin directions of an array of spinning gyroscopes with the optical axis of a telescope, all housed in a spacecraft that rolls about the optical axis. The spacecraft is steered so that the telescope always points toward a known guide star. We calculate the variation in the spin directions relative to readout loops rigidly fixed in the spacecraft, and express the variations in terms of quantities that can be measured, to sufficient accuracy, using an Earth-centered coordinate system. The measurable effects include the aberration of starlight, the geodetic precession caused by space curvature, the frame-dragging effect caused by the rotation of the Earth and the deflection of light by the Sun.

Leptotyphlopidae

description: Subtribe Epictina Hedges, Adalsteinsson, & Branch, New Subtribe   Type genus. Epictia Gray, 1845: 139.
 Diagnosis. Epictina is distinguished from the subtribe Renina (see below) by having absent or normal-sized supraoculars (small in Renina) and by having a striped pattern and brightly colored dorsum, often with red and yellow (Table 2). Among other leptotyphlopids, only four West Indian species have stripes, and in three of those species the stripes are dull yellow. Epictina is distinguished from the subtribe Tetracheilostomina by having 2 supralabials (3–4 in Tetracheilostomina). The support for this group was 69% BP and 100% PP for the four-gene tree (Fig. 3) and 87% BP and 100% PP for the nine-gene tree (Fig. 4).
 Content. Two genera and 29 species (Table 1).
 Distribution. The subtribe is distributed from southern Mexico (Colima, Veracruz) through the lowlands of Middle America, south to Argentina and Uruguay in South America, but excluding the high Andes. It also occurs on San Salvador Island (Bahamas), Cozumel Island (Mexico), Islas de Bahia and Swan Islands (Honduras), San Andres and Providencia Islands (Colombia), Bonaire, Margarita Islands, and Trinidad.
 Remarks. This subtribe comprises the major radiation of leptotyphlopids in South America.

 Conus suratensis Hwass in Bruguière, 1792: 669–670, no. 63 (lectotype, MHNG (51.5 x 31.5 mm) (Röckel et al. 1995); "mers des grandes Indes").
 Material examined: MBMCS151, 6 specimens, SL 75–92 mm; SW 38–43 mm.
 Description. Shell large, heavy and glossy. Body whorl usually ventricosely conical, outline convex over the adapical third, straight below. Shoulder subangulate to rounded. Spire low or flat, early whorl forming a small cone at the middle. Body whorl with about a dozen fairly weak spiral ridges above base, rest of whorl smooth except for fine spiral and axial threads and scratches. Aperture moderately wide, with uniform width, outer lip thick, sharp and straight.
Ground colour white to cream. Base pale orange, base and shoulder stained bright orange and yellow in some. Spiral rows of small dark brown dashes over most of the whorl, also aligned into axial bands; little fusion occurs between dashes axially. Spire white with orange tones. Aperture pale brown in colour.
 Distribution. Röckel et al. (1995) reported this species off Cuddalore.
The specimens reorted herein were collected from Mandapam (Table 6) by trawling in 10–15 m, mainly on the sandy bottom.
  Remarks. Conus suratensis  is rare and probably restricted to the Gulf of Mannar. The present record of live specimens other than a single shell (70 mm) reported from Cuddalore (Röckel et al. 1995) is the first report from Gulf of Mannar and the largest (92 mm) recorded.

description: The complexity of molecular dynamics simulations necessitates dimension reduction and coarse-graining techniques to enable tractable computation. The generalized Langevin equation (GLE) describes coarse-grained dynamics in reduced dimensions. In spite of playing a crucial role in non-equilibrium dynamics, the memory kernel of the GLE is often ignored because it is difficult to characterize and expensive to solve. To address these issues, we construct a data-driven rational approximation to the GLE. Building upon previous work leveraging the GLE to simulate simple systems, we extend these results to more complex molecules, whose many degrees of freedom and complicated dynamics require approximation methods. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our approximation by testing it against exact methods and comparing observables such as autocorrelation and transition rates.

description: The average length and average relaxation time of attractors in sequence processing neural networks are investigated. The simulation results show that a critical point of $α$, the loading ratio, is found. Below the turning point, the average length is equal to the number of stored patterns; conversely, the ratio of length and numbers of stored patterns, grow with an exponential dependence $\exp (Aα) $. Moreover, we find that the logarithm of average relaxation time is only linearly associated with $α$ and the turning point of coupling degree is located for examining robustness of networks.

description: Background: Mobile health apps can help to change health-related behaviors and manage chronic conditions in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and diabetes mellitus, but a certain level of health literacy and electronic health (eHealth) literacy may be needed. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with mobile health app use in individuals with CVD or diabetes and detect relations with the perceived effectiveness of health apps among app users. Methods: The study used population-based Web-based survey (N=1500) among Germans, aged 35 years and older, with CVD, diabetes, or both. A total of 3 subgroups were examined: (1) Individuals with CVD (n=1325), (2) Individuals with diabetes (n=681), and (3) Individuals with CVD and diabetes (n=524). Sociodemographics, health behaviors, CVD, diabetes, health and eHealth literacy, characteristics of health app use, and characteristics of apps themselves were assessed by questionnaires Linear and logistic regression models were applied. Results: Overall, patterns of factors associated with health app use were comparable in individuals with CVD or diabetes or both. Across subgroups, about every fourth patient reported using apps for health-related purposes, with physical activity and weight loss being the most prominent target behaviors. Health app users were younger, more likely to be female (except in those with CVD and diabetes combined), better educated, and reported more physical activity. App users had higher eHealth literacy than nonusers. Those users who perceived the app to have a greater effectiveness on their health behaviors tended to be more health and eHealth literate and rated the app to use more behavior change techniques (BCTs). Conclusions: There are health- and literacy-related disparities in the access to health app use among patients with CVD, diabetes, or both, which are relevant to specific health care professionals such as endocrinologists, dieticians, cardiologists, or general practitioners. Apps containing more BCTs had a higher perceived effect on people's health, and app developers should take the complexity of needs into account. Furthermore, eHealth literacy appears to be a requirement to use health apps successfully, which should be considered in health education strategies to improve health in patients with CVD and diabetes.

 Material examined: MBMCS 119, 8 specimens, SL 25–32 mm; SW 13–15 mm.
 Description. Shell moderately small and heavy, broadly conical, sides convex. Body whorl with low spiral ridges, basally these often extend to centre. Shoulder roundly angled, coronated, coronations weak. Spire low, convex and bluntly pointed; spire whorls weakly coronated and with 4–5 heavy spiral ridges on top. Aperture narrower posteriorly; outer lip thick, sharp and convex.
Ground colour white. Body whorl with 3–4 spiral rows of black blotches between base and sub-shoulder; blotches squarish to more or less axially elongate. Shoulder with large squarish black spots, alternating with light background; spire with irregular black blotches. Aperture bluish. Periostracum thin, smooth, translucent and yellowish to olive.
 Distribution. The first report of C. ebraeus was by Linnaeus (1758) from India. Subsequent distributional records were from in and around Krusadai Islands of the Gulf of Mannar (Thurston 1890; [Chennappayya] 1927; Satyamurti 1952).
The specimens described herein were collected from Keelakarai (Table 6) by diving in 10–15 m on sand and coral rubble substrate and few washed ashore.
  Remarks. Conus ebraeus  appears to be a very rare species along the TamilNadu Coast, with the distribution restricted to the Gulf of Mannar.

We explore $b-τ$ unification under the above constraints for nonuniversal boundary conditions for the soft SUSY breaking parameters. We find new regions of the parameter space where significant negative supersymmetric contribution to the b quark mass can arise and $b-τ$ unification within SU(5) framework can occur with nonuniversal gaugino masses. Specifically we find that for the case where the gaugino mass matrix transforms like a 24 plet one finds a negative contribution to the b quark mass irrespective of the sign of the Higgs mixing parameter $μ$ when the supersymmetric contribution to $g_μ-2$ is positive. We exhibit regions of the parameter space where $b-τ$ unification occurs for $μ>0$ satisfying the constraints of $b\to s+γ$ and $g_μ-2$. The $μ<0$ case is also explored. The dependence of the accuracy of $b-τ$ unification defined by $|λ_b-λ_τ|/λ_τ$ on the parameter space is also investigated and it is shown that unification with an accuracy of a few percent can be achieved in significant regions of the parameter space. The allowed parameter space is consistent with the naturalness constraints and the corresponding sparticle spectrum is accessible at the Large Hadron Collider.

description: Within an aging population, fracture incidences will rise and with the augmented risks of impaired healing the overall risk of delayed bone regeneration will substantially increase in elderly patients. Thus, new strategies to rescue fracture healing in the elderly are highly warranted. Modulating the initial inflammatory phase toward a reduced pro-inflammation launches new treatment options for delayed or impaired healing specifically in the elderly. Here, we evaluated the capacity of the prostacyclin analog Iloprost to modulate the inflammatory phase toward a pro-regenerative milieu using in vitro as well as in vivo model systems. In vitro, Iloprost administration led to a downregulation of potential unfavorable CD8+ cytotoxic T cells as well as their pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion profile. Furthermore, Iloprost increased the mineralization capacity of osteogenic induced mesenchymal stromal cells through both direct as well as indirect cues. In an in vivo approach, Iloprost, embedded in a biphasic fibrin scaffold, decreased the pro-inflammatory and simultaneously enhanced the anti-inflammatory phase thereby improving bone healing outcome. Overall, our presented data confirms a possible strategy to modulate the early inflammatory phase in aged individuals toward a physiological healing by a downregulation of an excessive pro-inflammation that otherwise would impair healing. Further confirmation in phase I/II trials, however, is needed to validate the concept in a broader clinical evaluation.

description: The most general Dirac Hamiltonians in $(1+1)$ dimensions are revisited under the requirement to exhibit a supersymmetric structure. It is found that supersymmetry allows either for a scalar or a pseudo-scalar potential. Their spectral properties are shown to be represented by those of the associated non-relativistic Witten model. The general discussion is extended to include the corresponding relativistic and non-relativistic resolvents. As example the well-studied relativistic Dirac oscillator is considered and the associated resolved kernel is found in a closed form expression by utilising the energy-dependent Green's function of the non-relativistic harmonic oscillator. The supersymmetric quasi-classical approximation for the Witten model is extended to the associated relativistic model.

description: Raising agricultural productivity to meet growing food demands while increasing the resilience of rain-fed farm systems to climate variability is one of the most pressing contemporary development challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Anchored on the three core principles of minimum tillage (MT), crop residue retention, and crop rotation; conservation agriculture (CA) technologies have been actively promoted over nearly the last two decades as potential solutions to raise farm productivity in the context of increased climate variability.

description: Feedback is central to most forms of learning, and its reliability is therefore critical. Here, we investigated the effects of corrupted, and hence unreliable, feedback on perceptual inference. Within the framework of Bayesian inference, we hypothesised that corrupting feedback in a demanding perceptual task would compromise sensory information processing and bias inference towards prior information if available. These hypotheses were examined by a simulation and in two behavioural experiments with visual detection (experiment 1) and discrimination (experiment 2) tasks. Both experiments consisted of two sessions comprising intervention runs with either corrupted or uncorrupted (correct) feedback, and pre- and post-intervention tests to assess the effects of feedback. In the tests alone, additional prior beliefs were induced through predictive auditory cues to assess sustained effects of feedback on the balance between sensory evidence and prior beliefs. Both experiments and the simulation showed the hypothesised decrease in performance and increased reliance on prior beliefs after corrupted but not uncorrupted feedback. Exploratory analyses indicated reduced confidence regarding perceptual decisions during delivery of corrupted feedback. Our results suggest that corrupted feedback on perceptual decisions leads to sustained changes in perceptual inference, characterised by a shift from sensory likelihood to prior beliefs when those are accessible.

description: Background: MYC is a heterogeneously expressed transcription factor that plays a multifunctional role in many biological processes such as cell proliferation and differentiation. It is also associated with many types of cancer including the malignant lymphomas. There are two types of aggressive B-cell lymphoma, namely Burkitt lymphoma (BL) and a subgroup of diffuse large cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which both carry MYC translocations and overexpress MYC but both differ significantly in their clinical outcome. In DLBCL, MYC translocations are associated with an aggressive behavior and poor outcome, whereas MYC-positive BL show a superior outcome. Methods :To shed light on this phenomenon, we investigated the different modes of actions of MYC in aggressive B-cell lymphoma cell lines subdivided into three groups: (i) MYC-positive BL, (ii) DLBCL with MYC translocation (DLBCLpos) and (iii) DLBCL without MYC translocation (DLBCLneg) for control. In order to identify genome-wide MYC-DNA binding sites a chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) was performed. In addition, ChIP-Seq for H3K4me3 was used for determination of genomic regions accessible for transcriptional activity. These data were supplemented with gene expression data derived from RNA-Seq. Results: Bioinformatics integration of all data sets revealed different MYC-binding patterns and transcriptional profiles in MYC-positive BL and DLBCL cell lines indicating different functional roles of MYC for gene regulation in aggressive B-cell lymphomas. Based on this multi-omics analysis we identified ADGRE5 (alias CD97) - a member of the EGF-TM7 subfamily of adhesion G protein-coupled receptors - as a MYC target gene, which is specifically expressed in BL but not in DLBCL regardless of MYC translocation. Conclusion: Our study describes a diverse genome-wide MYC-DNA binding pattern in BL and DLBCL cell lines with and without MYC translocations. Furthermore, we identified ADREG5 as a MYC target gene able to discriminate between BL and DLBCL irrespectively of the presence of MYC breaks in DLBCL. Since ADGRE5 plays an important role in tumor cell formation, metastasis and invasion, it might also be instrumental to better understand the different pathobiology of BL and DLBCL and help to explain discrepant clinical characteristics of BL and DLBCL.
A Systematic Search for Reddest Far-infrared and Sub-millimeter Galaxies: revealing dust-embedded starbursts at high redshifts

description: We present the results of our systematic search for the reddest far-infrared (FIR) and submillimeter (sub-mm) galaxies using the data from the Herschel Multi-tiered Extragalactic Survey (HerMES) and the SCUBA2 Cosmological Legacy Survey (S2CLS). The red FIR galaxies are "500~$μ$m risers," whose spectral energy distributions increase with wavelength across the three FIR passbands of the Spectral and Photometric Imaging REceiver (SPIRE) of Herschel. Within 106.5 deg$^2$ of the HerMES fields, we have selected 629 500 $μ$m risers. The red sub-mm galaxies are "SPIRE dropouts," which are prominent detections in the S2CLS 850 $μ$m data but are extremely weak or invisible in the SPIRE bands. Within the 2.98 deg$^2$ common area of HerMES and S2CLS, we have selected 95 such objects. These very red sources could be dusty starbursts at high redshifts ($z\gtrsim 4$-6) because the peak of their cold-dust emission heated by star formation is shifted to the reddest FIR/sub-mm bands. The surface density of 500 $μ$m risers is $\sim$8.2 deg$^{-2}$ at the $\geq 20$ mJy level in 500 $μ$m, while that of SPIRE dropouts is $\sim$19.3 deg$^{-2}$ at the $\geq 5$ mJy level in 850 $μ$m. Both type of objects could span a wide range of redshifts, however. Using deep radio data in these fields to further select the ones likely at the highest redshifts, we find that the surface density of $z>6$ candidates is 5.5 deg$^{-2}$ among 500 $μ$m risers and is 0.8-13.6 deg$^{-2}$ among SPIRE dropouts. If this is correct, the dust-embedded star formation processes in such objects could contribute comparably as Lyman-break galaxies to the global SFR density at $z>6$.

The Density Matrix Renormalization Group Method and Large-Scale Nuclear Shell-Model Calculations

description: The particle-hole Density Matrix Renormalization Group (p-h DMRG) method is discussed as a possible new approach to large-scale nuclear shell-model calculations. Following a general description of the method, we apply it to a class of problems involving many identical nucleons constrained to move in a single large j-shell and to interact via a pairing plus quadrupole interaction. A single-particle term that splits the shell into degenerate doublets is included so as to accommodate the physics of a Fermi surface in the problem. We apply the p-h DMRG method to this test problem for two $j$ values, one for which the shell model can be solved exactly and one for which the size of the hamiltonian is much too large for exact treatment. In the former case, the method is able to reproduce the exact results for the ground state energy, the energies of low-lying excited states, and other observables with extreme precision. In the latter case, the results exhibit rapid exponential convergence, suggesting the great promise of this new methodology even for more realistic nuclear systems. We also compare the results of the test calculation with those from Hartree-Fock-Bogolyubov approximation and address several other questions about the p-h DMRG method of relevance to its usefulness when treating more realistic nuclear systems.
