description: There is increasing evidence that some heating mechanism in addition to gravitational shock heating has been important for the hot gas inside clusters and groups of galaxies, as indicated by their observed X-ray scaling properties. While supernovae are the most obvious candidate heating sources, a number of recent studies have suggested that they may be energetically insufficient. Here we consider high-power, FRII radio galaxies and shock heating of the intracluster medium (ICM, including the case of the intergalactic medium prior to cluster formation) by their large-scale jets. Based on the observed statistics of radio galaxies in clusters and their evolution, along with the most reasonable assumptions, it is shown that they can provide the ICM with excess specific energies of 1--2 keV per particle, mainly during the redshift interval $z \sim 1-3$. This naturally meets the requirements of cluster evolution models with non-gravitational feedback in accounting for the observed deviations in the X-ray luminosity-temperature relation. In contrast to supernovae, such large-scale jets deposit their energy directly into the low density ICM outside galaxies, and are much less susceptible to radiative losses. As a clear and potentially decisive test of this scenario, we propose the observation of `prompt' high energy gamma-rays emitted by shock-accelerated, non-thermal electrons during the epoch of ICM heating by radio galaxies, which may be feasible with the {\it GLAST} satellite. Implications for recent detections of excess hard X-rays from groups are also discussed.

description: In the leading paradigm of modern cosmology, about 80% of our Universe's matter content is in the form of hypothetical, as yet undetected particles. These do not emit or absorb radiation at any observable wavelengths, and therefore constitute the so-called Dark Matter (DM) component of the Universe. Detecting the particles forming the Milky Way DM component is one of the main challenges for astroparticle physics and basic science in general. One promising way to achieve this goal is to search for rare DM-electron interactions in low-background deep underground detectors. Key to the interpretation of this search is the response of detectors' materials to elementary DM-electron interactions defined in terms of electron wave functions' overlap integrals. In this work, we compute the response of atomic argon and xenon targets used in operating DM search experiments to general, so far unexplored DM-electron interactions. We find that the rate at which atoms can be ionized via DM-electron scattering can in general be expressed in terms of four independent atomic responses, three of which we identify here for the first time. We find our new atomic responses to be numerically important in a variety of cases, which we identify and investigate thoroughly using effective theory methods. We then use our atomic responses to set 90% confidence level (C.L.) exclusion limits on the strength of a wide range of DM-electron interactions from the null result of DM search experiments using argon and xenon targets.

description: Cultural and recreational values of biodiversity are considered as important dimensions of nature's contribution to people. Among these values, the aesthetics can be of major importance as the appreciation of beauty is one of the simplest forms of human emotional response. Using an online survey, we disentangled the effects of different facets of biodiversity on aesthetic preferences of coral reef fish assemblages which are among the most emblematic assemblages on Earth. While we found a positive saturating effect of species richness on human preference, we found a net negative effect of species abundance, no effect of species functional diversity and contrasting effects of species composition depending on species attractiveness. Our results suggest that the biodiversity–human interest relationship is more complex than what has been previously stated. By integrating several scales of organization, our study is a step forward to better evaluate the aesthetic value of biodiversity.

Data from Osmotic ‘cost’ of reproduction in breeding male toads
Creators: name: Brischoux, François

Publisher: name: The Royal Society
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Ecology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Shifts between habitats during reproduction can induce costs that are independent of the reproductive effort and that often apply to both sexes. Such shifts can also illustrate physiological costs complementary to those involving energetic currencies. In this study, we investigated osmotic consequences of reproduction in a context where reproduction induces a shift from terrestrial habitats to freshwater environments. During reproduction, toads migrate to breeding ponds where males remain for several weeks, while females leave shortly after egg-laying. We assessed plasma osmolality of male spined toads during the whole reproductive period (approx. 30 days) in conjunction with markers of individual condition. We found that osmolality decreases during the protracted period of immersion in freshwater during reproduction, presumably through water influx as indicated by body mass changes. Hormonal markers of metabolism and sexual activity were positively correlated with osmolality. Recent research has highlighted hydric ‘costs’ of reproduction when access to water is limited. Our study adds to this growing field of investigation, yet with an opposite perspective, where water availability linked to reproduction provokes hyperhydration rather than dehydration.

description: The expansion of the Universe leads to a rapid drop in the mean hydrogen Ly-alpha opacity tau of the intergalactic medium (IGM), tau (1+z)^{3.8}, between redshifts 4 and 3. Measurements of the temperature evolution of the IGM and of the He II opacity both suggest that He II reionizes in this redshift range. We use hydrodynamical simulations to show that the temperature increase associated with He II reionization leads to a relatively sudden decrease in tau around the reionization epoch of ~ 10 per cent. We find clear evidence for such a feature in the evolution of tau determined from a sample of ~ 1100 quasars obtained from the SDSS. He II reionization starts at redshift ~ 3.4, and lasts for (Delta z) ~ 0.4. The increase in the IGM temperature also explains the widths of hydrogen absorption lines as measured in high-resolution spectra.

description: Craft distilleries have an environmental impact totaling 6.5 pounds of carbon dioxide per 750 ml bottle of spirits produced (Sacks). There is enormous potential to decrease the environmental impact of the craft distillery industry. This project will focus on craft distilleries in central Texas to determine if a carbon neutral craft distillery in the region can be profitable. The energy and mass balance of a typical distillery production process revealed 8.7 MMBTU is needed for heat and 1052 kWh is needed for cooling throughout production. To decrease energy use, the well water will be passed through a heat exchanger with the cooking tank mixture to simultaneously pre-heat the well water going into the cooker and cool down the mixture leaving the cooker. The fermentation mixture will also be passed through a heat exchanger along with the mixing tank mixture to raise the temperature of the fermentation mixture prior to entering the still and lower the temperature of the mixing tank mixture. These two improvements lower the necessary energy for heating to 6.2 MMBTU and 385 kWh for cooling. At these levels, an onsite anaerobic digester to produce biogas ran in series with 3 microturbines can reliably provide the thermal and electrical energy requirements for a distillery throughout the year with excess electricity produced that can be sold back to the grid. Three wind turbines can provide marketing value and supplemental energy that can also be sold back to the grid for profit. The cost for the three microturbines, an anaerobic digester, two heat exchangers and three wind turbines is $1-$1.6 million. The annual cost for the thermal and electrical energy for a craft distillery in central Texas is $111,600. An extra $240 per year can be earned purely from supplemental electricity produced onsite. The initial investment starts to pay itself off and make a profit between 10 and 15 years proving that a carbon neutral craft distillery in central Texas can be profitable. However, with this long of a payback period, it would be up to the investors/owner’s discretion to finance this project

description: The discovery of 2-dimensional (2D) materials, such as CrI3, that retain magnetic ordering at monolayer thickness has resulted in a surge of research in 2D magnetism from both pure and applied perspectives. Here, we report a magneto-Raman spectroscopy study on multilayered CrI3, focusing on two new features in the spectra which appear at temperatures below the magnetic ordering temperature and were previously assigned to high frequency magnons. We observe a striking evolution of the Raman spectra with increasing magnetic field in which clear, sudden changes in intensities of the modes are attributed to the interlayer ordering changing from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic at a critical magnetic field. Our work highlights the sensitivity of the Raman modes to weak interlayer spin ordering in CrI3. In addition, we theoretically examine potential origins for the new modes, which we deduce are unlikely single magnons.

description: A new method for the model-independent determination of the light-cone distribution amplitude (LCDA) of the $B$-meson in heavy quark effective theory (HQET) is proposed by combining the large momentum effective theory (LaMET) and the numerical simulation technique on the Euclidean lattice. We demonstrate the autonomous scale dependence of the non-local quasi-HQET operator with the aid of the auxiliary field approach, and further determine the perturbative matching coefficient entering the hard-collinear factorization formula for the $B$-meson quasi-distribution amplitude at the one-loop accuracy. These results will be crucial to explore the partonic structure of heavy-quark hadrons in the static limit and to improve the theory description of exclusive $B$-meson decay amplitudes based upon perturbative QCD factorization theorems.

description: Lead (Pb(II)) pollution in water poses a serious threat to human health in many parts of the world. In the past decades, research has been aimed at developing efficient and cost-effective methods to address the problem. In this study, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and potassium acetate (K-Ac) intercalated kaolinite complexes were synthesized and subsequently utilized for Pb(II) removal from water. The intercalation of kaolinite with DMSO was found to be useful for expanding the interlayer space of the clay mineral from 0.72 to 1.12 nm. Kaolinite intercalation with K-Ac (KDK) increased the interlayer space from 1.12 to 1.43 nm. The surface area of KDK was found to be more than threefold higher as compared to natural kaolinite (NK). Batch experimental results revealed that the maximum Pb(II) uptake capacity of KDK was 46.45 mg g−1 which was higher than the capacity of NK (15.52 mg g−1 ). Reusability studies showed that KDK could be reused for 5 cycles without substantially losing its adsorption capacity. Furthermore, fixed-bed column tests confirmed the suitability of KDK in continuous mode for Pb(II) removal. Successful application of intercalated kaolinite for Pb(II) adsorption in batch and column modes suggests its application in water treatment (especially removal of divalent metals).

The high frequency profiles are accompanied by a collection of both previously published and unpublished high quality 1.4- and 0.33-GHz observations. Here our analyses and discussion primarily involve the average and statistical properties of the 46 pulsar's polarimetric pulse sequences, profile classification and frequency evolution, and polarimetric profiles and peak-occurrence histograms. In most cases both the fractional linear polarization and profile widths decrease with frequency as expected, but there are some exceptions. Similarly, we were able to review and/or extend the profile classifications for this population of pulsars and work out their beaming characteristics quantitatively showing that almost all show properties compatible with the core/double-cone emission beam model. The entirety of these observation's average profiles are accessible for download.

Production of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes in Globular Clusters
Creators: name: Miller, M. Coleman
name: Hamilton, Douglas P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The discovery of numerous non-nuclear X-ray point sources with luminosities L>10^39 erg/s in several starburst galaxies has stimulated speculation about their nature and origin. The strong variability seen in several sources points to massive black holes as the central engines. If the flux is isotropic, the luminosities range up to roughly 10^41 erg/s, implying masses of M>10^3 Msun if the luminosity is sub-Eddington. Here we explore a model for these sources. We suggest that in some tens of percent of globular clusters a very massive black hole, M>50 Msun, is formed. This black hole sinks in <10^6 yr to the center of the cluster, where in the 10^10 yr lifetime of the cluster it accretes roughly 10^3 Msun, primarily in the form of lighter black holes. Unlike less massive black holes in binaries, which are flung from clusters by recoil before they can merge gravitationally, a >50 Msun black hole has enough inertia that it remains bound to the cluster. We suggest that 10^3 Msun black holes may be common in the centers of dense globular clusters, and may therefore exist in some tens of percent of current globulars. If the cluster later merges with its host galaxy, accretion from young star clusters in molecular clouds by the black hole can generate luminosity consistent with that observed. We also consider the detectability of massive black holes in globular clusters with gravitational wave detectors such as LISA and LIGO, and speculate on future observations that may test our predictions.

description: Background: Increased rates of Staphylococcus aureus resistance and its morbidity and mortality have raised concern about the strategy of antibiotic use. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant S. aureus (VRSA) isolates among Thai patients with S. aureus infection and to identify risk factors and appropriate antibiotics for these resistant strains. Methods: Data of culture-proven S. aureus isolates from clinical specimens during 2017 in King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thailand, were retrospectively collected and classified as methicillin-sensitive S. aureus or MRSA by cefoxitin screening and oxacillin minimum inhibitory concentration by the Vitek 2 system. Each isolate was also tested for susceptibility to teicoplanin, erythromycin, clindamycin, linezolid, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, ciprofloxacin, moxifloxacin, tetracycline, doxycycline, and vancomycin by Vitek 2. Demographic information and comorbidities from medical records were reviewed to identify risk factors for S. aureus infection. Results: MRSA isolates were identified in 147 (17%) of 890 patients with no different ratio in adults or children. A higher proportion of MRSA in hospital-acquired settings was observed (27% vs. 12%; p Conclusion: The prevalence of MRSA in our facility seemed to be comparatively low. Vancomycin is still an appropriate option for MRSA coverage since all S. aureus isolates in our center were sensitive to vancomycin. However, careful attention is warranted since one colonization isolate was VRSA.

description: The 13LambdaC hypernucleus was studied by measuring gamma rays in coincidence with the 13C(K-, pi-) reaction. gamma rays from the 1/2- and 3/2- states, which are the partners of the spin-orbit doublet states with a predominant configuration of [12C_g.s.(0+) x p_Lambda], to the ground state were measured. The splitting of the states was found to be DeltaE(1/2- - 3/2-) = +152+-54(stat)+-36(syst) keV. This value is 20-30 times smaller than that of single particle states in nuclei around this mass region. The j_Lambda=l_Lambda-1/2 ((p_1/2)_Lambda) state appeared higher in energy, as in normal nuclei. The value gives new insight into the YN interaction. The excitation energies of the 1/2- and 3/2- states were obtained as 10.982+-0.031(stat)+-0.056(syst) MeV and 10.830+-0.031(stat)+-0.056(syst) MeV, respectively. We also observed gamma rays from the 3/2+ state, which has a [12C(2+) x s_Lambda] configuration, to the ground state in 13LambdaC. The excitation energy of the 3/2+ state was obtained as 4.880+-0.010(stat)+-0.017(syst) MeV. Nuclear gamma rays with energies of 4.438 and 15.100 MeV had similar yields, which suggests that a quasi-free knockout of a Lambda particle is dominant in highly excited regions.

description: Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used to support decision-making in the healthcare sector. While ML approaches provide promising results with regard to their classification performance, most share a central limitation, namely their black-box character. Motivated by the interest to understand the functioning of ML models, methods from the field of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) have recently become important. This article investigates the usefulness of XAI methods in clinical gait classification. For this purpose, predictions of state-of-the-art classification methods are explained with an established XAI method, i.e., Layer-wise Relevance Propagation (LRP). We propose to evaluate the obtained explanations with two complementary approaches: a statistical analysis of the underlying data using Statistical Parametric Mapping and a qualitative evaluation by a clinical expert. A gait dataset comprising ground reaction force measurements from 132 patients with different lower-body gait disorders and 62 healthy controls is utilized. We investigate several gait classification tasks, employ multiple classification methods, and analyze the impact of data normalization and different signal components for classification performance and explanation quality. Our experiments show that explanations obtained by LRP exhibit promising statistical properties concerning inter-class discriminativity and are also in line with clinically relevant biomechanical gait characteristics.

description: Genetic control strategies aimed to bias the sex of progenies towards males present a promising new paradigm to eliminate malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. A synthetic sex-ratio distortion (SD) system was successfully engineered in Anopheles gambiae by exploiting the meiotic activity of the I-PpoI endonuclease targeting ribosomal DNA (rDNA) repeats, exclusively located on the X chromosome. Males carrying the SD construct produce highly male-biased progenies without evident reduction in fertility. In this study, we investigated the fate of X and Y chromosomes in these SD males and found that ratios of mature X:Y-bearing sperm were comparable to wild-type insects, indicating absence of selection mechanisms during sperm maturation. We therefore tested the effect of meiotic cleavage of both X and Y chromosomes in a lab-generated SD strain carrying rDNA on both sex chromosomes, showing fertility comparable to wild-type and a reduced male-bias compared to SD males in which only the X is targeted. Exposure of Y-linked rDNA to I-PpoI cleavage for consecutive generations rapidly restored the male-bias to typical high frequencies, indicating a correlation between the number of cleavable targets in each sex chromosome and the sex-ratios found in the progeny. Altogether our results indicate that meiotic cleavage of rDNA repeats, located in the sex chromosomes of A. gambiae SD males, affects the competitiveness of mature sperm to fertilize the female oocyte, thereby generating sex-biased progenies. We also show that the presence of rDNA copies on the Y chromosome does not impair the effectiveness of engineered synthetic SD systems for the control of human malaria mosquitoes.

description: Hydrologic systems, despite their complexity, have remained relatively balanced throughout time, but as climate changes and as population exerts more pressure onto water sources, these systems may be altered in ways that are difficult to predict. As Texas’ climate becomes hotter and drier, water deficits can become widespread as sources are strained beyond their capacity. For small areas, like the City of Boerne, Texas, water management and planning is a way to prepare for shortages that may occur in the future. To create a water management plan that increases the city’s resilience and sustainability, Boerne must understand its current water system and how it will change in the future. The balance between water supply and demand is conceptualized through the use of causal loop diagrams and then through system dynamics modeling. Three interventions are used as disruptions to the system: xeriscaping, adoption of rainwater harvesting systems, and adoption of smart meters for residential irrigation. Each strategy is varied across range of adoptions. The resulting 125 different combinations are analyzed under three scenarios: a base case assuming the city’s maximum supply of water is firm, and two different responses to a meteorological drought. Results show that the city can effectively reduce total demand, forestalling the point at which it surpasses supply. Different combinations of adoptions can achieve the same goal, giving the city optionality in choosing strategies that are most suited for their needs and constraints. Rainwater harvesting was found to be the dominant intervention influencing demand. Though effective in the base scenario, the influence of rainwater harvesting is less in the two drought scenarios given its dependence on precipitation. Xeriscaping was the second most influential intervention and smart meters for irrigation had no effect on demand. The approach used in this study highlights the interdependency between community adoption of conservation strategies and the importance of considering these relationships using systems modeling

description: We announce the initial release of data from the Ohio State University Bright Spiral Galaxy Survey, a BVRJHK imaging survey of a well-defined sample of 205 bright, nearby spiral galaxies. We present H-band morphological classification on the Hubble sequence for the OSU Survey sample. We compare the H-band classification to B-band classification from our own images and from standard galaxy catalogs. Our B-band classifications match well with those of the standard catalogs. On average, galaxies with optical classifications from Sa through Scd appear about one T-type earlier in the H-band than in the B-band, but with large scatter. This result does not support recent claims made in the literature that the optical and near-IR morphologies of spiral galaxies are uncorrelated. We present detailed descriptions of the H-band morphologies of our entire sample, as well as B- and H-band images for a set of 17 galaxies chosen as type examples, and BRH color-composite images of six galaxies chosen to demonstrate the range in morphological variation as a function of wavelength.

description: Quantification of myocardial perfusion has the potential to improve detection of regional and global flow reduction. Significant effort has been made to automate the workflow, where one essential step is the arterial input function (AIF) extraction. Since failure here invalidates quantification, high accuracy is required. For this purpose, this study presents a robust AIF detection method using the convolutional neural net (CNN) model. CNN models were trained by assembling 25,027 scans (N=12,984 patients) from three hospitals, seven scanners. A test set of 5,721 scans (N=2,805 patients) evaluated model performance. The 2D+T AIF time series was inputted into CNN. Two variations were investigated: a) Two Classes (2CS) for background and foreground (LV mask); b) Three Classes (3CS) for background, foreground LV and RV. Final model was deployed on MR scanners via the Gadgetron InlineAI. Model loading time on MR scanner was ~340ms and applying it took ~180ms. The 3CS model successfully detect LV for 99.98% of all test cases (1 failed out of 5,721 cases). The mean Dice ratio for 3CS was 0.87+/-0.08 with 92.0% of all test cases having Dice ratio >0.75, while the 2CS model gave lower Dice of 0.82+/-0.22 (P<1e-5). Extracted AIF signals using CNN were further compared to manual ground-truth for foot-time, peak-time, first-pass duration, peak value and area-under-curve. No significant differences were found for all features (P>0.2). This study proposed, validated, and deployed a robust CNN solution to detect the LV for the extraction of the AIF signal used in fully automated perfusion flow mapping. A very large data cohort was assembled and resulting models were deployed to MR scanners for fully inline AI in clinical hospitals.

description: Online activity-based data can be used to aid infectious disease forecasting. Our aim was to exploit the converging nature of the tuberculosis (TB) and diabetes epidemics to forecast TB case numbers. Thus, we extended TB prediction models based on traditional data with diabetes-related Google searches. We obtained data on the weekly case numbers of TB in Germany from June 8th, 2014, to May 5th, 2019. Internet search data were obtained from a Google Trends (GTD) search for ‘diabetes’ to the corresponding interval. A seasonal autoregressive moving average (SARIMA) model (0,1,1) (1,0,0) [52] was selected to describe the weekly TB case numbers with and without GTD as an external regressor. We cross-validated the SARIMA models to obtain the root mean squared errors (RMSE). We repeated this procedure with autoregressive feed-forward neural network (NNAR) models using 5-fold cross-validation. To simulate a data-poor surveillance setting, we also tested traditional and GTD-extended models against a hold-out dataset using a decreased 52-week-long period with missing values for training. Cross-validation resulted in an RMSE of 20.83 for the traditional model and 18.56 for the GTD-extended model. Cross-validation of the NNAR models showed a mean RMSE of 19.49 for the traditional model and 18.99 for the GTD-extended model. When we tested the models trained on a decreased dataset with missing values, the GTD-extended models achieved significantly better prediction than the traditional models (p
